Rebirth Night Talk

"You are?" Zhao Xuejun looked at the visitor with a puzzled expression.

"Is this Zhao Jianguo?" The visitor didn't answer the question, but just walked into the house with his luggage. When he saw the empty house, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Zhao Jianguo is my father." Zhao Xuejun followed this man, feeling that he was really rude.

The young man smiled, first he carefully put the luggage aside, with a respectful look towards the luggage.Then he turned around and gave him a big hug with great enthusiasm: "Look, look, they are all a family, and they don't know each other. I'm Zhou Rui, the eldest son of your third uncle Zhao Jianye."

Zhou Rui!Zhao Xuejun was extremely surprised. In his previous life, he had only heard of this young man's name.Four fathers and brothers joined the army successively.Uncle Zhao Jianzong is currently working in the provincial capital, and has been in conflict with this side for the past few years, so he doesn't communicate.The uncle's family paid all the money for Zhao Jianguo's marriage.It was not easy for anyone in those years. The aunt had a big fight with the uncle because of this matter, and almost got divorced.In the past few years, the family has become rich, and my father has been compensating for it all the time, but my uncle has a kind of thinking that if you are rich, if I cling to you, it will destroy the relationship and be talked about by others.Instead, he took the initiative to walk away from his brother's house.

The second uncle in the family died on the battlefield.This third uncle is a legend. He fell in love with a female nurse in the army. Maybe he loved her too deeply. In the end, because the other family only had one daughter, he became the son-in-law.

The times are advancing, and such things as recruiting children are actually nothing, but Zhao Xuejun's grandfather can't stand it anymore.He worked hard all his life for the sake of the children in his family, and in the end he almost died of exhaustion.The adopted son was raised, but he became the son-in-law of someone else's family, and after giving birth to a baby, he took the Zhou family's surname.The old man couldn't take it anymore, so he decided to sever ties with his son. He had been nagging Zhao Jianzong and Zhao Jianguo, and if anyone dared to associate with Zhao Jianye, he would never close his eyes.The old man passed away one winter, and it is said that he wanted to eat white buns before he died.

The name Zhou Rui is a name that will often appear in the future stories of the Zhao family.He went north to his hometown five times to worship his ancestors, but was rejected by his grandmother. The last time, for his father's greatest last wish, the young man knelt in front of his grandmother's house and drenched in the rain all night. Sad and disappointed, he failed to take care of himself and died suddenly on the train. superior.Many years later, Zhao's family found out that Zhou Rui's father, Zhao Jianye, had liver cancer. In the last days, he hoped that his soul could return to his hometown.Zhou Rui returned home several times, always with his father's ashes. When he learned that the old Zhao's family grave did not leave any land for his father, Zhao Xuejun could imagine how hard this brother was hit.After Zhou Rui's death, Zhao Jianye's branch died out.

The old Zhao family all have a burial place on the high slope of their hometown. The ancestral grave is the most important place for a family. From the birth of the children, the father will enclose a place near the ancestral grave for his sons. Zhao Jianye’s cemetery was angered. The old man gave it to the family of the same family, leaving no way for Zhao Jianye to retreat.

And many years later, Zhao Jiafen also rejected another person.Before Zhao Jianguo died, he ordered his family not to allow Zhao Xuejun to enter the ancestral grave.

A person's life is spent for a long time in making mistakes, regretting and reviewing.In the past, Zhao Xuejun thought this story was a great tragedy, but for many years to come, Zhao Xuejun never understood his grandfather's feelings.Is this last name really that important?For many years after Zhou Rui's death, his father had been living in regret. Zhao Xuejun couldn't understand why his father hated his third brother?Why can't my grandparents forgive Sanbo?He didn't understand his grandfather, and felt really cruel.How can grandma stop her grandchildren from the door?

Later, as he got older, he got older and older.He began to want a child, even though he would never have a child of his own, he still wanted, a child is a letter of proof that a person exists in this world.A person can die, and after death he can be resurrected in a child.The offspring reproduce with the genes of their parents, which is the proof that a person has lived.Zhao Jianye has become a tool for the continuation of future generations of other family members, maybe that's what grandpa thinks.Zhao Xuejun felt that he had no position to criticize his old-fashioned grandfather.

"Brother." Zhao Xuejun stretched out his hand, responded and hugged Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui was stunned. His great enthusiasm was rewarded. This reward was so fast, which gave him great hope.He was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know how to reply to this little brother.

"I went back to my grandparents' house, my grandma...isn't at home. I...I've been to my hometown a few times before, but I haven't seen my uncle...I...I..." Zhou Rui murmured.

Zhao Xuejun was happy, yes, many things have changed, grandma moved into the city, and the family moved to a new house.

"Brother, our grandma is in the new house. If you come a day late, you still have to inquire." Zhao Xuejun smiled, and his tone showed kindness. This kindness came from the heart and came from the flesh and blood.

"Hey...that's right, I'm lucky." Zhou Rui replied naively.

Zhao Xuejun smiled, walked to the side of the luggage with a test of memory, and was about to pick it up.

"Don't!" Zhou Rui yelled, and then walked over with a smiling face, carefully picked up the luggage in both hands and said, "I'll come, I'll come, I can't ask you to carry it."

"I'll take you to your new home, let's go home." Zhao Xuejun trotted ahead to lead the way, Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, and followed with his luggage in his arms.

"My grandma is in good health."

"Well, it's just that I have some problems with my bladder, and I've been taking medicine for the past few years."

"Uncle, is Auntie in good health?"

"Okay."

"Then... then you are all... all right?"

Zhao Xuejun stopped and turned to look at Zhou Rui and the luggage he was holding.In that bag was his second uncle, maybe he was a man of indomitable spirit before, but now, he is dead and he hopes to go home.He may have had a huge body, but now he is such a handful of ashes, his only last wish is to come back.His son brought him back, and the father and son came back with the sincerity and fear of family affection.

The two brothers walked for about 10 minutes. When they arrived at No. [-] courtyard, Zhao Xuejun stopped at the gate of the courtyard and turned to look at Zhou Rui.

"What... what's wrong?" Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Xuejun frowned, looked around and said cautiously: "Brother... my dad, my grandma, I'm afraid they are angry."

Zhou Rui, who was originally excited, immediately turned cold: "You know."

"Well, I know, brother... don't worry, this matter has to take your time, let me find you a place, please live first, don't worry, let's find a way together."

Zhao Xuejun persuaded, but Zhou Rui was very open-minded. He stretched out his hand, patted Zhao Xuejun's head, and asked affectionately, "Who are you in the family?"

"I do three." Zhao Xuejun replied.

"It's San'er, brother listens to you, tell me, what should I do?"

Zhao Xuejun squatted on the ground, and Zhou Rui squatted down after him.The two brothers squatted under the big tree in the No. [-] courtyard for a long time, unable to do anything.

"Xuejun? What are you squatting here for?" Song Changan, who had returned home after playing football outside, saw Zhao Xuejun squatting at the gate of the compound with a young man.

Zhao Xuejun was really too lazy to talk to Song Changan these days.This guy was as insidious as in his previous life. He used himself, Min Shun and the others to force his father's political opponents away through the hands of Huang Wenming.He is only so old, and he is not born again, but he is still smarter and more ruthless than himself, which is the most annoying.

"You don't care about me." Zhao Xuejun snorted angrily.

"I don't care about you. I'm not your father. I don't care how much you suffer! But Junjun, there is no harm in that matter. If you keep getting angry, aren't you stupid? If you get angry, you will suffer. You have to Think it through..." Song Changan came over with a smile, and squatted down.

Zhao Xuejun turned his head to look at his cousin, and then at Song Changan, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, I have a task for you." Zhao Xuejun nudged Song Changan with his elbow.

"Tell me, don't overdo it, I can do it." Song Changan still had that insidious look.

"This is my brother, tell him to stay at your house for a few days." Zhao Xuejun pointed to Zhou Rui.

Song Changan glanced at Zhou Rui, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood: "Success, your brother is my brother, and it's fine to stay for a few days. Look at me! I'm just so kind. Besides, Uncle Zhao is a nice person, please help me. It's nothing, but Junjun, aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you to death?"

Zhao Xuejun narrowed his eyes, and said with contempt in his tone: "Where did you think, you just like to think about everything in the dark. Can't you turn back when you are a human being? The world is full of love, really. This is my hall. Brother, the son of my third uncle's family, his name is Zhou Rui."

"Yes, yes, I am the only one who is dark. Your father's nephew is named Zhou, who are you lying to!" Song Changan sarcastically said.

"Hiss... Let me tell you, who doesn't have any idea to trouble you, my third uncle is recruiting!" Zhao Xuejun was very angry, and he slapped Song Changan on the waist.His habit comes from his previous life, that guy's piece of meat can't be touched, it will fall if touched!

As expected, Song Changan sat down on the ground: "Hey! Don't touch my waist from now on!"

Zhao Xuejun pursed his lips and smiled, the young Song Changan hadn't learned how to hide his emotions and anger, but at this moment he was full of fireworks in the world.

"In a word, do you want to help?"

"Help, can you do it if you don't help?" Song Changan stood up, his tone full of helplessness, he was surprised, he had always been sharp, but in front of Zhao Xuejun, he just couldn't be sharp.

"Don't talk about it with your parents." Zhao Xuejun instructed.

"I want to say, I have to be able to catch people. One goes to the countryside and the other goes back to her mother's house. Except for the two young ones, the family is just a babysitter. Come on, let's go..."

Song Chang'an led the way ahead, Zhao Xuejun and Zhou Rui followed, and they came to No.11 Building of Courtyard No. [-] together.

"Brother, that's our new home, hey... Did you see that our grandma is cleaning boxes in the yard!" Zhao Xuejun pointed to the No. 12 yard in front of him and said loudly.

Zhou Rui's face suddenly became agitated. Holding his luggage, he ran forward a few steps and stopped, then hid in the shadow of the small building.He was muttering, stroking the luggage and saying something, even though he couldn't hear him, Zhao Xuejun felt that he understood what Zhou Rui was saying.

"Your brother, is it strange?!" Song Changan said in Zhao Xuejun's ear.

"Who doesn't have any embarrassments, right?" Zhao Xuejun glanced at him.

"I said Comrade Zhao Xiaosan, why do I feel that you are targeting me everywhere?" Song Changan was a little annoyed.

"Yes, think about it carefully, why am I targeting you." Zhao Xuejun smiled half-smile.

Song Changan was helpless, so he could only look at the sky and said, "Okay, I don't care about you, I will give Zhao Xuebing face. Let's go... call your brother, yes! Cousin, come in."

Zhao Xuejun went over to call Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui walked back with his luggage in his arms. He walked a few steps and suddenly thought of something. He stood at the door of Song Changan's house and refused to go in.

"Brother? It's okay. Uncle Song and my father are good friends. His family is not an outsider, so he is not afraid of disturbing him." Zhao Xuejun persuaded.

Song Changan looked at the sky and rolled his eyes, he was afraid of disturbing him.

Zhou Rui touched the luggage bag, his father was here.Although knowing that living here is very close to grandma, my father must be very happy.But... It's impolite and unlucky to bring an urn into someone's house.I'm really sorry for hiding it from others.Even if it could be concealed, Zhou Rui felt that he could not do such an inhumane thing.

"San'er, I'd better stay in a hotel." Zhou Rui looked embarrassed.

Zhao Xuejun blinked his eyes and immediately understood.He stood there thinking for a while, then stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Rui's clothes to the side.The two brothers watched with big eyes and small eyes, and Zhao Xuejun turned around several times in his stomach, thinking of several ways.Finally...Zhao Xuejun stretched out his hand, and suddenly touched the luggage that Zhou Rui was holding, and Zhou Rui dodged in fright.

Turning his head and pointing at the grandma who was wiping the old furniture with a rag, Zhao Xuejun said, "Brother, who are you holding?"

Zhou Rui was startled, his face turned pale...

"I heard you talking to..." Zhao Xuejun pointed to the luggage.

Zhou Rui's eyes immediately became sour, and he wanted to cry a lot.

A few drops of rain are slowly falling, this is the spring rain, after the spring rain, you can sow seeds!

Zhao Xuejun stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops from the sky, and then looked at Zhou Rui. His brother must have knelt in the spring rain and drenched all night.

He stretched out his hands, with a trace of intimacy, a trace of respect from the juniors to the elders, and said: "Sanbo, let's go home, I will take you to see our new home, to see... Mom."

Zhou Rui stared blankly at Zhao Xuejun, then completely trusted him.He lowered his head and rubbed his face against the bag a few times. The tears grew bigger and bigger with the spring rain. Finally... he finally took his father's ashes into Zhao Xuejun's hands.

"Brother, Uncle San will be happy." Zhao Xuejun persuaded.

"Army... My dad said, don't let grandma know... My dad said, just ask where he should be buried, dig a hole quietly, and bury him next to grandpa. No ceremony is required. Grandma is old You have to hide this matter to death. Do you know?"

"I know, brother, you can go."

"Brother! Come, come, the meal is just right, brother, I'll put bath water for you, you take a bath first, loose, loose. You have walked a long way... I listen to you, you have a Liaoning accent... ..." Song Changan, who had seen and heard everything, came over, took Zhou Rui's hand affectionately, and forcibly pulled him into his house. They walked all the way, and they changed the topic. They quickly walked into the house. When the door was closing, Song Changan Chang An looked at Zhao Xuejun, and blinked at him.

Zhao Xuejun hugged his third uncle and carefully entered the yard.

In the yard, grandma took plastic sheets and carefully covered the old furniture. When she saw Zhao Xuejun came back, she was immediately happy: "Junjun, what are you holding? Your mother bought food at the restaurant, and our family will have dinner tonight." Is the meal I ordered a waste, your mother just can't live with it."

Zhao Xuejun smiled, his nose was sore again, he followed the nagging grandma into the door, all the way to the brightest room in the house, grandma now lives in the sunniest room in the house.

"Junjun? What are you hugging?" To be honest, grandma was very curious, becoming more and more like a child.

Putting Sanbo aside carefully, Zhao Xuejun sat on the edge of the new bed and asked grandma: "Grandma, what kind of person is my grandpa?"

"Your grandfather? Is your grandfather an old man with a white beard." Grandma smiled and wiped the new furniture.

"Grandma, I mean, what kind of temper is Grandpa?" Zhao Xuejun continued to ask.

"Your grandfather? Your grandfather... Your grandfather is a very good-tempered old man with a white beard. When someone spit on his face, he wiped it off and left. That's great." Grandma sat by the bed and praised her husband .

Zhao Xuejun stood up, opened grandma's bedside table, carefully put the second uncle in, and said in his heart: "Third uncle, I'm sorry, you have been wronged these few days, I know you will not be angry. I put you next to grandma, You live in the same room with your mother. You will be happy, Sanbo.

Uncle... don't worry, I will definitely not tell grandma.You stay here for a few days, I'll find a way... I understand your third uncle.People, all fallen leaves return to their roots. If you really have a soul... Sanbo, you must know where your worthless nephew came from.Uncle San, I’m back home, this is our new home... Look at how happy grandma is, living in a new house, living in the main room, Uncle San, fallen leaves return to their roots, I understand, I really understand, who in the previous life knew where I was buried?Uncle...is back home...is back to mother, how nice..."

Zhao Xuejun's eyes were wet, and his nose was always acidic.Grandma looked at him strangely: "Junjun? Why are you crying? Who bullied my baby? Grandma will beat him to death for you!"

Zhao Xuejun closed the cabinet carefully, hugged grandma and acted like a baby: "No grandma, I miss my grandpa. I haven't seen it before..."

"Hey... your father is suffering, and he only knows how to suffer. Your father is just a poor old man with a white beard... Ha ha! A silly old man who has no luck at all!"
