Gu Pei reborn

Chen Yan has been sent out by his mother.The already dark room looked even more gloomy, and Gu Pei felt a little chilly after standing by the bed for a while.

The dusty incandescent lamp was very dim, Gu Pei looked at Chen Yan's mother, and felt his eyes astringent after a while.

The mother also looked at Gu Pei fixedly, but those dull and even cloudy eyes gave Gu Pei a feeling of being seen through.To be honest, being stared at Gu Pei with such eyes in such an environment is still a little palpitating.Gu Pei involuntarily took a step back, and then there was a "bang", it turned out that Gu Pei touched the iron basin when he backed up.

The woman seemed to be awakened by the sound, her eyes softened slightly, and then she said in a hoarse voice: "I knew about Xiaoyan selling newspapers and reading books years ago." She paused, frowning, as if Think about how to continue the next topic.

"I think it's better to let him study." After thinking about it, Gu Pei said.To be honest, from Chen Yan's few words, Gu Pei really had a bad impression of this mother, so his tone was not very good.

The woman was taken aback when she heard this, her face was a little unhappy, but it was only a matter of a few seconds, she seemed to be relieved again, and then she looked at Gu Pei's face with a little relieved look, just put it on that lifeless face up, unnoticeable.She propped herself up again and sat up and said, "I beat him up because of this before the new year, and then he ran away from home..."

Gu Pei frowned. It turned out that this incident happened during the time when he returned to his hometown.No wonder Chen Yan was not very happy since he came back. When he saw his mother just now, he thought it was because of her mother's illness. Presumably, it was also because of her mother's disapproval.

"His father left early, and I always thought that as long as the child can grow up safely, it's just that I'm not in good health, so I'm inevitably a little anxious, and I often beat and scold him... But this time the beating and scolding didn't work. Later, I wanted to Let this child live and die on its own, but I didn't expect that I would..."

The woman's tone was sad. Even when she heard her beating and scolding Chen Yan, Gu Pei couldn't feel resentment. On the contrary, she felt a little desolate. Although her method was not right, no, if Chen Yan didn't meet her, then his mother The life planned for him is probably better than that of his peers.After all, he still disturbed their lives.If Chen Yan hadn't met him, he might have had an easier life.

"I called you here this time because I want you to take care of Xiaoyan more in the future."

Hearing what Chen Ma said, Gu Peicai suddenly realized that it was Tuogu who called him this time?Just—looking at the haggard woman with disheveled hair on the bed—looking for my 12-year-old self?Really think highly of him.

Seeing that Gu Pei frowned and didn't speak, Chen's mother suddenly pulled out an ugly smile: "I'm so sick and confused, I even forgot that you are also a baby. Well, you go out and call Xiao Yan in for me."

Gu Pei was suffocated by the strange laughter, and seeing the tears streaming down Mama Chen's dark yellow face, the uncomfortable feeling deepened.He didn't want to stay with this woman any longer, but Chen Yan... "I regard Chen Yan as a friend. If I have difficulties in the future, I will help if I can." Even without this, he would be the same to Chen Yan.After thinking about it, he said again, "Auntie, you should go see a doctor..."

After hearing Gu Pei's words, the woman was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "My body is clear to me, and I go to the hospital just like his father..." After a pause, she continued, "Thank you."

That thank you was feeble, but Gu Pei felt sore in his heart.

After leaving the room, Gu Pei was stunned by the bright world outside.Looking at Chen Yan whose eyes lit up when he came out, Gu Pei smiled: "Your mother told you to go in."

"...Mmm." Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

See Chen Yan walk into the room.Gu Pei let out a breath, stood on the pitted gravel, looked at the spring scene in the suburbs, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He could tell that Chen Yan's mother's life was numbered, and the child would be alone in the future .It's really strange to say that he, who has always hated trouble, took such a troublesome matter, and Chen Yan is his own evil fate.

The train whizzed by in front of the house, and the bang sound and the wind brought it made people feel as if they had entered an inexplicable world for a moment.Everything around him was gone, only the sound of a mantra, and then an inexplicable sense of sadness.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yan came out of the room, Gu Pei could see his red eyes, he didn't ask anything, just patted his head.

"Brother Gu Pei, I want to stay at home with my mother, can you find the way back by yourself?" Chen Yan asked hoarsely.

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded, "Then take good care of your mother, I'll go back first, and come to me if you need anything."

"Ah."

***

"That kid Chen Yan didn't come with you?" Gu Pei heard her mother ask when she got home.Gu Ma was there when Chen Yan looked for him in the morning.

"His mother is sick and he takes care of him at home."

"He is a filial child." Gu Ma smiled, she hadn't realized that Chen Yan's mother was about to die, she was still lamenting Chen Yan's kindness.

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded, not knowing what to say.

"Have you ever gone to see it? Speaking of it, you seem to have only one good friend like Chen Yan since you were young. You should go see his mother when she is sick." Gu Ma said with a bit of exclamation, this child has been lonely since he was a child One, although Ran always said that Chen Yan was only here for tutoring, but seeing him like that, he regarded the child as a good friend.That kid Chen Yan looks good, even though that kid... well, even though Xiaopei is tired of teaching him all day long, it's better than letting those dubious bastards lead Xiaopei crazy good.

"I went to see it." Gu Pei said.He was afraid that his mother would continue to question and pull out Chen Yan's family situation.

Fortunately, Mama Gu didn't mean to ask, but just started cooking.Gu Pei helped wash and cut vegetables.It’s just that when the oil was poured into the pot, Gu’s mother suddenly vomited it out. Gu Pei hurriedly helped Gu’s mother, and wanted to ask if she was sick, but suddenly thought of having a baby, so Gu Pei cautiously Looking at Gu's mother, she asked, "Uh... Mom, are you pregnant?"

"Yeah." Gu's mother was stunned for a moment. She was a little suspicious that her son would know that she was pregnant when she saw her vomiting, but she didn't think too much about it. She just said, "I felt something was wrong a few days ago. It's been twenty days..." There was no joy in her words, and to be honest, she still felt a little shy about the child in her belly.

"Why don't you say it?" Gu Pei didn't think about the child right now.He was only worried that Gu's mother was an advanced mother, and accidents would easily happen if she was not careful.

"I want to wait for your dad to come back tonight, but I didn't expect such a big reaction." Gu's mother retched again after she finished speaking, and Gu Pei's brows tightened even more. Although he knew that pregnant women would suffer from morning sickness, when he really saw He was still very worried about his mother's uncomfortable appearance.After worrying, his resentment towards grandma deepened.

Because Mama Gu felt uncomfortable smelling the oily smoke, so Gu Pei cooked lunch and dinner that day.When Gu's father came back in the evening, he held Gu Pei's head and rubbed his head for a while, saying something like "I haven't eaten the food made by my son for a long time", but after learning that Gu's mother was pregnant, Gu's father froze, although he He laughed quickly, but no one could tell he wasn't really happy.So after the Chinese New Year, Gu Pei experienced the same taste again. This time, he was the one who cooked.

On the second day when Gu's father went to work, Gu Pei stayed at home with his mother. Chen Yan didn't come that day, so Gu Pei could take good care of his mother.However, Mama Gu seemed quite helpless with Gu Pei's fuss.

At night, thinking about going to school the next day, Gu Pei told Gu Ma over and over again not to get tired, saying a bunch of things like "don't get up early tomorrow morning, and make lunch and dinner when I come back" before climbing into bed sleep.

In fact, he heard from his grandma that she took care of his mother when she was pregnant with him, but this pregnancy was caused by grandma, so it is not good for the three members of the Gu family to bother their mother's family. Gu Pei also estimated that the pregnancy was a matter of parents Haven't told grandpa about them yet.Speaking of which, Grandpa's family has always disliked grandma and the others.When their parents got married, they also visited their hometown. They were very uncomfortable with the eccentric behavior of the old lady of the Gu family. In the words of their grandmother, "If it weren't for the fact that your father is a good person, knows how to love others, and doesn't live in your grandma's house." Now, I am reluctant to let my daughter marry your father."

Gu Pei studied step by step at school. To be honest, he is still not used to it without Lin Shaojun. He is not a talkative person. It’s just that Lin Shaojun used to quarrel with him. He could talk more or less and dance with his classmates. Twice.Now that Lin Shaojun is gone, he just sits and reads all day long, and those classmates don't ask him to join him for fun except to ask him questions.His current deskmate is Gao Ran, except for the occasional roll of the eyes, she is not against him. After class, she plays with a group of girls. In class, she is either listening to the class or staring at the table in a daze. Recently, Gu Pei thought she had a boyfriend.

A few days later, Gu Pei saw Chen Yan again. He was in a very bad condition. In a few days, his face seemed to have lost weight. His chin was pointed, his eyes were red, and he looked pitiful.

"Is your mother okay?" Gu Pei asked with a sigh in his heart.In fact, he had expected that her situation was not good.

Chen Yan didn't answer, but said slowly: "I have to take care of my mother recently, so I won't go to your place to read."

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded, after thinking about it, he still patted his head, only twice, but Chen Yan buried his head in his arms all of a sudden, holding Gu Pei's clothes tightly with both hands .

***

My mother's condition is even more worrying. During this period, her morning sickness became more and more serious, so severe that she felt like vomiting when she smelled soot.But in the environment of the Gu family, how could it be possible not to smell soot?

Then one day Gu's father told Gu Pei that he would send Gu's mother back to her hometown in a few days.The air in my hometown is good, and my uncle's family also said that if Gu's mother is pregnant, they will take care of them, but there is no one to take care of her here, so although she was reluctant, Gu Pei sent her parents to the train in her hometown one weekend.

The sun was a bit dazzling, the crowded crowds around him seemed to be in a different world from him under the sun, those people were busy and eager, but he seemed to be in another lonely and silent world.
