remarriage [rebirth]

Gao Ming and Lu Lianhai were huddled together under the quilt, Lu Jiawen covered his cold hands and feet, Lu Jiawen's little feet were entangled with Gao Ming's, rubbing together, trying to make Gao Ming warm up quickly, lest he catch another cold and aggravate his fever.

"Mingming, what are you going to do with Grandma Wang's house?" Lu Jiawen asked.

"Buy it."

"What should we do after we buy it?" Lu Jiawen didn't know Gao Ming's plan. Although he was very appreciative of Gao Ming's buying the house so as not to ruin Grandma Wang's two useless children, what would he do after buying it? not allowed.

rent it out?They are reluctant, but if they leave it there, the house will lack vitality if no one lives in it for a long time. They can clean the house regularly, but they will never lose the house they live in and go to live with Grandma Wang.

"Put it there." Gao Ming said.

Lu Jiawen asked, "What if no one lives there?"

"How could it be?" Gao Ming squeezed Lu Jiawen's hand tightly and said, "Our memories live in it."

Lu Jiawen: "..." He moved slightly and hugged Gao Ming even tighter.

The atmosphere fell silent again, Gao Ming seemed to have something to say to Lu Jiawen, he had been deliberating how to speak, and finally made up his mind, saying, "Wen Wen, come to Nandu to live with me."

Lu Jiawen: "..." In the dark night, Lu Jiawen's eyes widened, he wanted to see Gao Ming's expression clearly through the moonlight, he didn't know if Gao Ming was serious now.

Going to Nandu was a very important decision, which meant that he had to abandon everything in Xiaobei Village and go to Nandu to start over.He doesn't care, Grandma Wang is dead, and many worries in Xiaobei Village are gone, but will Lu Lianhai agree?Here are Lu Lianhai's roots, Lu Lianhai's career, and everything that Lu Lianhai insists on.

Asking his father to stop everything and go to a big city to start again, Lu Jiawen couldn't say this no matter what.

Gao Ming said: "Bring Uncle Lu with me, I can arrange a new job for him, and the place to live is no problem, you can live with me."

The Lu family sat up from the kang without saying a word.

Gao Ming followed his movements and sat up, "Wen Wen, when you grow up, Xiaobei Village will not be able to meet your growth needs. There is no good learning environment here. You told me before that you want to To be a big shot, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten." Lu Jiawen clenched his fists and swallowed all the words on his lips. The impulse piled up in his chest. He was very troubled by this feeling, "But I can't go... My dad, he doesn't want to be here."

"I can give Uncle Lu a better working environment."

"That's different." Lu Jiawen said in a low voice, almost yelling under pressure, "My dad cherishes the opportunity to work here. He has gone from being a decoration worker who doesn't align the walls to his current position step by step. He worked so hard to get it. It's not the same as you give him a job."

Gao Ming: "...I know." Gao Ming's voice was hoarse, "But I can't bear you. After seeing this side of you, I can't bear it even more."

Lu Jiawen's temper softened, he lay back down again, and said in a hoarse voice: "When we all grow up."

The next morning, under the mobilization of the biological clock, Gao Ming woke up very early. He was definitely sleepy, but he quickly adjusted his state and got up to get dressed.

They talked a lot last night. Gao Ming told Lu Jiawen about his affairs in Gao's house. It was bland and tasteless, like reporting work. Gao Ming's tone changed only when he mentioned the matter of participating in the competition.Lu Jiawen felt sorry for Gao Ming, so she told him about Xiaobei Village: Teacher Li Rou was married and still teaching with a big belly; The rooster at home crows vigorously every day and eats better than Lu Jiawen, but it is almost at the end of its life.

Lu Lianhai was sore from sleeping on the small plank bed. He didn't sleep well all night. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he got up from the bed and saw Gao Ming coming out of the big house. He rubbed his old waist and asked, "What's the matter? It's only five o'clock. Get up and do it." Well?"

"I want to visit Grandma Wang's grave."

Lu Lianhai said: "It's still early, the road up the mountain is not easy, just wait."

"It's okay." Gao Ming politely rejected Lu Lianhai's suggestion, "I'm going back before five o'clock in the afternoon, I want to stay with Wen Wen for a while."

Lu Lianhai sighed and sat up. The secretary next to the small bed was sleeping soundly and didn't hear any movement. Lu Lianhai stepped over him and walked out the door with Gao Ming who had washed up.

Lu Jiawen came out of the room, hurriedly put on his clothes, and said, "Where are you going? Why didn't you call me!"

"Smell, if you sleep a little longer, you'll only sleep for two hours."

"Didn't you just sleep for two hours? You're not sleepy, and I'm not sleepy either!" Lu Jiawen insisted on following, but Lu Lianhai yawned, feeling irritable after not sleeping well, he was too lazy to argue with the two children, and finalized Idea, "Go! Let's go together!"

The three of them went up the mountain hand in hand. It rained lightly at three or four o'clock in the morning, and the small mound was extremely muddy. Lu Jiawen held Gao Ming's hand tightly, took a step and looked back, for fear that Gao Ming might not be used to the countryside. Qiu Xiaolu slipped and fell while walking.

When approaching the top of the hill, Lu Lianhai squinted his eyes, and saw a dark shadow beside Wang Fengxia's grave. His eyesight has been getting worse recently, and things doubled, so he wasn't sure. , patted Lu Jiawen on the shoulder, Lu Lianhai asked: "Son, what is that?"

Lu Jiawen looked carefully, and also saw a black shadow lying beside Wang Fengxia's grave, motionless.

The three of them walked over cautiously, and when they got closer, Lu Jiawen recognized it at a glance, and exclaimed in surprise: "Rhubarb!"

Rhubarb lying on the ground moved slightly. It wanted to stand up but failed. It rolled its eyelids and looked away as if it had glanced at Lu Jiawen. It also ignored Lu Jiawen's love as before, but then His eyes no longer had the radiance of the past, and his fur was dimmed, exuding a dusty, lifeless air.

"Woo..." Rhubarb let out a low whimper. It moved its aging body to the side of Wang Fengxia's grave, and finally stopped all movements, bent down, and faithfully guarded Wang Fengxia's grave. side.

Lu Lianhai's eyes were astringent, he stepped forward to touch Rhubarb's body that was getting colder, and sighed, "Rhubarb is an old dog, his legs and feet have not been very good since last year, how did he run up the mountain?"

Lu Jiawen couldn't help crying, wiped away the tears, pinched his palm tightly, Gao Ming's hand wrapped around Lu Jiawen's hand, and with a little force, he released the strength from Lu Jiawen's fist, and his slender five fingers clenched Lu Jiawen's fist In the palm of his hand, he gently soothed his sad emotions.

Rhubarb's body was dug by Lu Lianhai and buried next to Wang Fengxia. This loyal old dog will continue to guard his master after death.

When the three of them went down the mountain, the sky had already brightened, and a bright red cloud in the east made the sky sink into a chaotic ocean. The new beginning of a day would not stop because of the passing of a certain person.

Xiaobei Village is quite big, and people in and out of the village know each other. Along the way, Lu Lianhai and the others received a lot of condolences.

Gao Ming was talking to him, wanting Lu Jiawen to change his mood, he really wanted Lu Jiawen to go back to Nandu with him, even if the two of them hadn't seen each other for six years, the importance he attached to Lu Jiawen didn't fade away at all.Lu Jiawen is his very important friend.

Lu Lianhai pushed open the courtyard door, hung the lock on the back of the door, and said: "Smell, go and change a pair of shoes, the soles are muddy, and find a pair of slippers for Mingming to wear. I'll take his pair of shoes and clean the soles. The weather is fine, so I can wear it when I go back in the afternoon."

Lu Jiawen followed his father's instructions to get shoes from the house. Gao Ming sat in the small yard basking in the sun and put on his shoes. The sides of his sneakers were covered with mud. He quietly waited for the Lu family to smell it, and his eyes were everywhere in the small courtyard. Looking at it, almost every corner is no different from what he remembered.His gaze fell on the window of the small courtyard, and the corners of Gao Ming's mouth curled up. This poor window, I don't know how many times it has been demolished by Wen Wen in the past few years.

Recalling the chicken he loved when he was a child, Gao Ming pointed to the chicken cage in the corner and asked, "Uncle Lu, is that the chicken I raised with Wen Wen?"

"Yeah." Lu Lianhai muttered in his stomach, this chicken has not eaten less food from his family for so many years, because it is Gao Ming's "gifted" chicken, it has been kept there without daring to kill it, offering it like a Buddha, eating it He was fat and fat, now that he was old and staggered a lot when he walked, but he was still fat in the slightest.

Gao Ming smiled and said: "It's been so many years, and I still keep it." His eyes fell on a pair of shoes in the small courtyard again, Gao Ming took a few more glances, the royal blue Nike sneakers, did you hear them?After silently memorizing the style, Gao Ming decided to go back and buy a pair that was exactly the same.

Lu Jiawen found a pair of slippers and handed them to Gao Ming, squatting down. He helped Gao Ming untie the shoelaces, took off the shoes, and handed the dirty pair of shoes to Lu Lianhai. null.

Lu Lianhai was startled, but Lu Jiawen hadn't reacted yet, so he shook his shoes and said, "Dad, why don't you take it?"

There was something wrong with Lu Lianhai's expression, so he grabbed it again, but in the end he only caught a phantom, but he couldn't catch it. Lu Jiawen's pupils shrank, and his heart sank: "Dad..."

Lu Lianhai gritted his teeth, and went to get the shoes again. This time he moved a little bit and grabbed the shoelaces. Lu Jiawen used a little force with the hand holding the shoes, but Lu Lianhai couldn't take it. Lu Lianhai frowned and scolded: "Stinky boy!" What are you doing?"

"Dad." Lu Jiawen fixed his eyes on Lu Lianhai, looked at his eyes that were cut by a knife, "Your eyes..."

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Lu Lianhai turned his head away, didn't take off his shoes, and kept silent.

The father and son didn't speak for a while, Lu Jiawen hugged his father's shoulders like a collapse, "Dad, look at me!" He stretched out a hand and compared a number, "What is this? What do you think this is?" How much is it?"

The fingers in front of him blurred their shadows. Lu Lianhai rubbed his eyes, but the rubbing got worse and worse, and the blur was even worse. Lu Lianhai supported the wall and said, "It's okay, just go to the hospital for an examination. I guess I will run up the mountain every day for the next two days. , allergies or something."

"Go right away!" Lu Jiawen couldn't sit still for a moment, his father's body was more important than anything else.

Gao Ming grabbed Lu Jiawen's arm and said, "Don't worry about it."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Lu Jiawen was as impatient as a grasshopper on a hot pot, holding his father's wrist tightly, Lu Lianhai pushed Lu Jiawen's hand away, and said, "It's okay, it's just that you are blinded by things. So, what are you afraid of! I will go to the hospital tomorrow, and Mingming will go back in the afternoon, so spend more time with him."

"No." Lu Jiawen resolutely rejected Lu Lianhai, Gao Ming also said: "Uncle Lu, I will come again next time, your body is more important."

The two reached an agreement, and before they had time to take a bite, the secretary drove the three of them to the hospital in Jing County.
