Proud Gu Mingyu

When Gu Mingyu came out of the passenger station, Gu Huaili was already waiting at the exit.The panda, which was squatting obediently at his feet, saw him coming out, its tail wagging like a propeller, and it jumped on him enthusiastically.

"Panda!" Gu Mingyu called out its name in surprise, squatting down and holding it in her arms.

Gu Huaili took his son's luggage, "I thought the panda hadn't seen you for a long time, so I went to your aunt's house to pick it up. You don't go back to school until tomorrow. Take the panda out to play in the afternoon. It misses you."

"En." Gu Mingyu nodded heavily. After finishing the entrance examination for Sichuan Fine Arts, Gu Mingyu returned to the province and stayed in the provincial capital for more than ten days because he had to wait for the unified examination. During the waiting time, he participated in the self-enrollment of other art colleges The goal is Chuanmei, but it is always a good thing to have one more choice.

Take the panda for a ride, take a bath in the pet shop to fix the hair, the happy time is always short.When I sent the panda back to my aunt's house, I probably knew that it would be difficult for me to see Gu Mingyu again. The panda raised its front paws and held it in Gu Mingyu's arms, refusing to come out, whimpering softly, like a child who refuses to leave his parents.Gu Mingyu coaxed the panda for a long time, and the little cousin also said that she would take it to Mingyu's house whenever she was free, and finally coaxed the panda well.Walking out of the alley, Gu Mingyu turned his head, and the panda kept squatting in the previous position, looking at him motionless, as if it would not change forever.

Pandas are already nine years old, which is equivalent to 55 years in human years.It was by Gu Mingyu's side when he was eight years old, and now Gu Mingyu is about to go outside to meet his future, but it can only stay in place and wait for his occasional return.In fact, the same is true for parents and children. When children grow up and parents grow old, the time they can spend with their parents will only decrease, and even... it may end abruptly.

Gu Mingyu remembered that the weather was very sunny. His house lived in a remote place. There were a few sporadic azaleas and winter jasmine blooming on the mountain wall next to the small slope. There was a spring rain last night, and the camellias in front of the house were all red, and the birds were chirping. The cry seemed lively and extraordinary.He pushed open the courtyard door and saw his mother, Hu Zhen, sitting in the courtyard with her eyes closed.

It was obviously already spring, and Hu Zhen was still wearing a winter down jacket, and on her head was a blue woolen hat she made herself when she was young. Gu Mingyu had seen her hat in the photo.Xu Gang's full moon photo and Hu Zhen in his own full moon photo both wore this hat. The difference was that Hu Zhen at that time had a plump figure, plump and smooth skin, a head of temperamental black curly hair, and a face full of humanness while holding a baby. Mother's delight.Now she is thin and thin, with sallow skin and no hair under the hat, only those eyes that are very similar to Gu Mingyu are still as bright as before.

Only then did Gu Mingyu realize that her mother had opened her eyes, she looked at him and smiled, "Mingyu is back?"

"Well... I'm back." Gu Mingyu squatted in front of her and held her hand. In his impression, Hu Zhen's hand was as white and tender as a bun, but Gu Mingyu only saw the bony fingers and the hand that had been beaten too much. The back of the hand was bruised from the needle, "Mom, you..."

Gu Mingyu didn't know what to say, he seemed to have a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, his mind went blank.

"Mom, since Mingyu is here, let's go back to the house. It's cool in the yard." Xu Gang came out of the living room. This young man who used to dress up like a gangster cut off his long hair and shaved his head. It was even more fierce, but Gu Mingyu knew that Xu Gang was accompanying his mother in his own way—compared to him, Xu Gang did so well that Gu Mingyu felt guilty.

In the past six months, he forced himself not to think about his mother's body, how much time his mother had left, and the pressure his father and elder brother were under, and escaped with the excuse of learning to be selfish and despicable.

After Hu Zhen nodded, Xu Gang walked to her side, bent over and knelt, and expertly hugged his petite mother.Probably because he did this often, or because he specially exercised his arm strength, Xu Gang, who is not tall, carried Hu Zhen to the master bedroom on the second floor in one breath.Instead, Gu Mingyu carried Hu Zhen's reclining chair and followed him panting.

After Xu Gang settled down with his mother, he turned around and saw his younger brother was sweating profusely. He touched his forehead with a smile: "If you can't lift it, just let me come. What can you do?"

Gu Mingyu dodged his head sideways, Xu Gang's attitude like when he was a child dissipated a lot of guilt in his heart, pouted his lips and hummed: "I'm not a child, I'm taller than my brother now."

"Okay! I'll beat you up again!" In fact, Xu Gang's height is quite common in the south, and it's about average enough. It's just that Gu Mingyu, who is 1.8 meters tall, made him shorter in comparison.As long as Mingyu is not at home, he can still maintain the status among relatives.

Hu Zhen watched the two brothers fight with a gentle expression on her face, but she lacked energy and became sleepy after sitting for a while.Gu Mingyu and Xu Gang were about to retreat, but Hu Zhen suddenly woke up again. She waved to Mingyu and asked him to sit beside her.

"Mingyu, you're still young. I'm afraid I won't see you get married and start a business. In the future, you should study hard and spend more time with your dad, you know?"

Gu Mingyu didn't expect her to mention this suddenly, so she could only nod in response with soreness in her heart.

"But Xiaogang is different." Hu Zhen changed his style of painting and looked at Xu Gang with a smile, "Xiaogang is eight years older than Mingyu, and he is 25 this year. Your father already has you at this age—you He really looks like your dad."

The latter sentence refers to Xu Gang’s biological father. Hu Zhen and Xu Gang’s father fell in love freely back then. After three years, I couldn't keep it.This is why Hu Zhen worked so hard to make money later on. She always felt that if they had more money, they might be able to go to a better hospital and get better treatment.

But at the end of the day, when things happened to her again, she could understand Xu Gang's father's thoughts at that time - no amount of money could buy life, nothing in this world can fight against time, once the time comes, nothing will happen. All gone.

"I don't have much time left. My biggest wish is to see Xiaogang get married and give birth to a big fat boy—a little princess is also fine. I just want to see my grandchildren before leaving."

The room fell into silence, and Gu Mingyu couldn't help but look up at Xu Gang. At that moment, even he hoped that Xu Gang would agree.

Xu Gang was caught off guard, he looked anxious and slightly annoyed, walked over to help Hu Zhen lie down, and tucked the quilt for her: "I don't have the time to think about those things now, I just want you to get better."

"It's not going to get better." Hu Zhen sighed, her face full of disappointment, "You know, it's not going to get better."

Gu Mingyu saw that Xu Gang's hands were shaking, and there was a frightened look on his face for a moment, he immediately interjected, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Look at my memory. There is chicken soup on the stove. Your dad made it before going out. Go and drink it so you don't starve."

"I want to eat it with chicken soup powder, brother, help me."

Although he knew that Gu Mingyu was better at craftsmanship than him, Xu Gang had always been responsive to Gu Mingyu's request, so he followed him to the kitchen without thinking too much.

Unexpectedly, downstairs, Gu Mingyu cooked the noodles and washed vegetables by himself, and didn't let him interfere at all. Xu Gang's mind was very confused. Gu Mingyu told him not to move, so he just stood there and watched. .

"Let's eat." In front of Xu Gang was a big sea bowl, which was more than twice the size of Gu Mingyu's bowl.

"Didn't you say you were hungry? Why do I have so much and you have so little?" Xu Gang was about to pick from Mingyu's bowl, but Gu Mingyu hurriedly removed the bowl.

"It's enough to eat something. Dad must have prepared something good for me when I went shopping for vegetables. Now I eat too much and I won't be able to eat dinner later!"

"Then—" Xu Gang pointed to his own bowl, "I can eat it all night after eating so much?"

Gu Mingyu curled her lips, "No, you're an idiot."

Xu Gang: "..." Beat you!

After the two of them ate the noodles, Gu Mingyu was relieved to see that Xu Gang had returned to normal. He thought for a while and said, "Brother, about marriage... what do you think?"

Xu Gang glanced at him, probably due to the calmness on Gu Mingyu's face, his fearful heart gradually settled down.

"I don't know either." Xu Gang twitched his lips and said helplessly, "I really haven't thought about this question."

"Then... think about it now?" Gu Mingyu didn't want to force him, but since it was Hu Zhen's wish, he always wanted her to come true, "Do you have a crush, or a first love that you will never forget, as long as you ask If so, I'll help you chase them down."

"You know how to chase people?" Xu Gang raised his eyebrows high, and his tone was somewhat majestic like a brother, "Gu Mingyu, do you dare to fall in love early?"

"No... People are chasing me, it's natural to watch too much—"

"Who is chasing you!" The bald-headed Xu Gang's ferocity doubled. To him, Gu Mingyu was just a child, a jade-carved Chinese cabbage he held in his palm. She must be beaten to death—it must be a wild woman from somewhere!

Gu Mingyu: "..." If he didn't know his brother very well, he would think that Xu Gang was changing the subject.However—Xu Gang didn't have such an IQ.

The result of the conversation is of course nothing, but it also proves from the side - this guy Xu Gang hasn't enlightened yet!

Huh...why use it?
