Proud Gu Mingyu

That night, Ji Linyuan stayed at Gu Mingyu's house as usual, Gu Huaili was hospitalized, and his brother-in-law stayed in the hospital until the visiting hours were prohibited. He stayed in the guest room, and Lu Yan lived in Xu Gang's room downstairs. No matter which room is not suitable, Ji Linyuan can only sleep with Gu Mingyu.

Xu Gang sent Mingzhu back to Shenzhen after the funeral, saying that he wanted to stay there to find a job, but it seemed that he didn't plan to come back.In the end, Xu Gang still complained in his heart. Although Gu Huaili could not be blamed for Hu Zhen's illness, after all, she did not live a good life after marrying him.It's just that Xu Gang was afraid of Gu Huaili since he was a child, so he didn't dare to show it, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.

When Gu Huaiyan entered, it was Ji Linyuan who opened the door, and Gu Mingyu was taking a shower in the bathroom.Compared to the gentle and kind Gu Huaili, Gu Huaiyan is much more dignified, sitting on the sofa and talking to Ji Linyuan in an almost questioning tone.Lu Yan stood behind him without taking a seat. He lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart. His respectful attitude was more like a housekeeper than an adopted son.

In the bathroom, Gu Mingyu turned off the water after taking a shower, and heard voices coming from outside.

"So you ran back from Chongqing to look for Mingyu because he didn't go to school?" Gu Huaiyan narrowed his eyes, and his eyes turned to Lu Yan who was diagonally behind him, his face became gloomy again.

"Ah—not really." Of course, Ji Linyuan knew that such an answer would attract suspicion, but Gu Huaiyan asked in detail, and he had no time to make up a lie, so he had to tell the truth. Seeing that Gu Huaiyan's eyes were wrong, he quickly added, "immediately." Tomb-sweeping day is coming, and I mainly go back to my hometown to sweep the tomb, so I'll come over to have a look."

"A few days left before Ching Ming Festival, the school will be on holiday so soon?" Gu Huaiyan looked at him suspiciously, apparently not believing it.

"No, the school is not on holiday yet, so I asked for leave in advance." Ji Linyuan lowered his head, "There are a lot of things to prepare at home in Qingming, I'm afraid my grandpa won't be able to do it alone—"

At this moment, Gu Mingyu came out with her clothes on and her wet hair on her head, staring and dissatisfied: "Uncle, why do you always like to check the household registration like my father? He is an occupational disease, what about you?"

Gu Huaiyan's ice-like face warmed up slightly, and he waved to Mingyu, let him sit down in front of her, took the towel from his hand and wiped his hair for him.

"It's an occupational disease for him, and I'm just suspicious. My second brother is not at home, so I, the younger brother, naturally have to watch over him." Gu Huaiyan seemed to have something in his words, and Gu Mingyu's heart suddenly lifted, and he quickly looked at Ji Linyuan. With one glance, his eyes flicked to Lu Yan's face again.Lu Yan spread his hands, saying that it was none of his business.

No matter how guilty the other three were, Gu Huaiyan went on to say: "Second brother is in a bad mood recently, you better not cause anything to make second brother angry, otherwise—"

"Uncle, you and my dad have a really good relationship, let's talk about your affairs." At this time, Gu Mingyu dared to open his mouth to change the subject. Ji Linyuan imitated Lu Yan, looked down at his fingers, and did not dare to move .

Gu Huaiyan's words were meant for Lu Yan, and Gu Mingyu was just suspicious, without any definite evidence, and Gu Mingyu's position in his heart was not comparable to that of Lu Yan.When Gu Mingyu was coy and coquettish, he really had nothing to do with him.

Gu Huaiyan thought for a while and said: "When I was a child, no matter what I ate, I didn't grow up. When I was seven years old, I was as big as other people who were three or four years old. I was skinny. Everyone in the village said I couldn't grow up, and my parents didn't know what to do. Yes. My second brother took me to the county to see a specialist from Beijing, and I remember clearly that I spent eight yuan and thirty cents on a prescription, and it took half a year for me to get better."

"Uncle, you've worked hard." Gu Huaiyan was congenitally deficient, and it was not easy for what was brought in her mother's womb to grow into an adult.

"What's so hard for me? In order to make up for my health, my family's savings have long been used up. At that time, my second brother was still studying, and I went to school half the day and went to work half the day. It took me two years of work points to save so much. It was all for me to see a doctor. Later, when he went to college, my father almost didn’t let him go, and then I knew that the money my second brother gave me to see a doctor was his tuition fees.”

"Grandpa won't let my dad go to school? That's a university! It was only 1970 at that time, and the college entrance examination hadn't resumed yet. You had to rely on recommendation to get into it. It's so embarrassing to say it!"

"If you have face, you can't eat it. If you can't eat, how can you care about face? The labor force in the family is small, and I, a sick child, dragged down the whole family. At that time, multiple laborers could earn more work points. The land is also better--the labor force is not enough to waste the land. It is no exaggeration to say that the second brother really escaped from home when he went to college. Your grandfather is illiterate and illiterate. It is useless to say it several times. , In the end, I was so anxious that I couldn’t help it. Seeing that the deadline for the report was coming, when I got anxious, I said that this is the son of the party, the son of the party, and he must obey the party’s arrangements. Get out - when did my son belong to someone else!?"

"Hahaha." Gu Mingyu and Ji Linyuan leaned forward and backward with laughter, and Lu Yan also hid behind and laughed secretly, and the atmosphere improved a lot for a while.

"Later, both my parents passed away, and the second brother divorced Mingzhu's mother. At that time, the family had already separated. The eldest brother and the elder sister all started their own families. The second brother was afraid that I would have no one to take care of him, so he wanted to marry me," Gu Huai paused. Behind him, Lu Yan was expressionless, but tightly clenched the hand hanging by his side, his fingertips turned white, "Second brother didn't have any money, so he took a work card and went to the credit union for a loan. Let me marry a wife."

Gu Mingyu also knew about this, and Gu Huaili didn't pay off the loan until the year he was born.Gu Huaiyan's wife was a nice person, but she was also unlucky. After a few years of marriage, she hitchhiked when she was off work, and fell off the car when turning, and she just disappeared. It is said that the aunt was pregnant at that time. One can imagine Gu Huaiyan's mood after losing his wife and children.

Gu Mingyu was afraid that Gu Huaiyan would mention his wife's sadness, so he interrupted quickly, "It's late today, uncle, you should also rest, let's talk next time." After saying that, he pulled Ji Linyuan and ran upstairs to the corner of the stairs At that time, I heard Lu Yan's voice.

"Uncle, I'll fetch water to wash your feet."

Gu Huaiyan said: "How dare I ask you to fetch water for me."

Lu Yan's voice was very low, and Gu Mingyu had to prick his ears to hear clearly, "Since I went to Uncle's place, I have been fetching water and washing my uncle's feet, now that Uncle doesn't want me, why doesn't he even let me do this little thing? "

Gu Huaiyan was silent for a long time, until Gu Mingyu went upstairs and returned to her room, she vaguely heard him say something, but unfortunately Gu Mingyu couldn't hear clearly.

When going to bed at night, Gu Mingyu suffered from insomnia again. In the past half a month, Gu Mingyu has not had a good night's sleep.Ji Linyuan next to him slept like a pig as usual. Gu Mingyu was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch his nose. Ji Linyuan woke up with a "wheeze", his eyes narrowed, and he said vaguely, "Hmm...Mingyu, don't make trouble."

After speaking, he stretched out his arms to hug Gu Mingyu, buried his head in his neck, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Ji Linyuan's breath was all over his neck, which made Gu Mingyu itch so badly that it was impossible to push the big man away. This guy's arm weighed a thousand catties, and if he put it on Gu Mingyu's body, he wouldn't be able to move for a whole night.Gu Mingyu couldn't move, so he could only lie down with his eyes closed, next to his ears was the sound of Ji Linyuan's breathing, which was slow and regular, and at the end of his nose was Ji Linyuan's breath, which was so familiar and reassuring that Gu Mingyu fell asleep after a while.

Gu Huaili was discharged from the hospital before the Ching Ming Festival. His hair, which was originally black and shiny, turned half white in just half a month.

On the first Ching Ming Festival after Hu Zhen passed away, Gu Huaili saw the tombstone for the first time. The woman on the tombstone was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam. It was custom-made by Gu Mingyu last year. Hu Zhen liked it very much and put it on as soon as she got it. Crying to take a photo, this is also the last photo of Hu Zhen.

The death of a family member at the beginning of 08 seems to mean that the Gu family will continue to have bad luck this year.After the Qingming Festival, Gu Mingyu and Ji Linyuan were going back to school, but something happened on this last night.
