Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

No one expected that less than three months after Old Lady Leng followed her eldest son to Hai City, she was brought back in the form of an urn.

Leng Zhiqiang came back very low-key, without saying hello to anyone in the village. He found a paper-cutting shop outside and hired a few people. He quietly buried the ashes next to old man Leng, and only wrote his own name in the position of filial son and virtuous grandson on the tombstone.

If he hadn't been discovered by the villagers, Leng Zhiqiang had no intention of meeting anyone, and he didn't even plan to cancel the old lady's household registration.

A group of village committee cadres rushed to the village cemetery, and the death procedures provided by Leng Zhiqiang were formal, indicating an accidental death.

The mother and son, with a huge sum of 500,000 yuan, could only rent an old building in a remote area in Hai City, with a staircase on the sixth floor. The old lady fell down the stairs while carrying a basket of vegetables, and when she was found by the neighbors, her head was broken and bloody...

Leng Zhiqiang could only go to the hospital to pay for the rescue costs. He didn't want his mother to die. The old lady went to Hai City and gritted her teeth to identify the residence and the location of the vegetable market. She learned how to use the kitchen stove. When he returned home, there was always hot meals waiting for him. Every day there was a pair of eager eyes looking at him. He wanted to continue.

Old Mrs. Leng, who had never spent a lot of money in her life, spent over 100,000 yuan on medical expenses before her death, but still passed away and could no longer take care of her eldest son.

The hospitalization record and death certificate that Leng Zhiqiang produced calmed Secretary Ma's temper. This was a funeral, and as a son he didn't want to take care of it and just wanted to leave quickly. There was indeed no place for him to stay in Ma Liu Village, so he had to notify his granddaughter Leng Yanqiu, and he couldn't just bury the old lady in another grave.

Ding Guihua rushed to the school to pick up Leng Yanqiu. The mother and daughter were speechless. Ding Guihua started crying: "Qiu'er, if you want to hold a funeral for your grandma, mom will help you. I will make sure she passes away in a dignified manner."

Leng Yanqiu shook his head.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the cemetery, many people from the village came, including the hired workers in the workshop, the aunts and aunties who went to the city to find the decorators last time, several neighboring families, and villagers who heard about the funeral...

This was considered a silent memorial service. Leng Zhiqiang knelt in front of two graves standing side by side and smoked a cigarette, with a gloomy and impatient look on his face. Several people from the village committee surrounded him and would not let him leave.

Leng Zhiqiang was completely disgusted with Ma Liu Village and never planned to come back.

Indeed, after being despised and leaving the village, Leng Zhiqiang was never seen again in Ma Liu Village, and there was no news of him in Hai City. The tenant of the rental house on the sixth floor was soon replaced.

It was as if this person had never existed in this world.

The reputation of Osmanthus Farm became even more famous. When the first snow fell, the peach trees near the hot spring were still in full bloom, and the ground was covered with colorful fallen petals. The water birds that refused to migrate lingered near the hot spring filled with water vapor. The quiet falling snow and the swimming water birds and poultry set off each other beautifully. Visitors said that it was a paradise on earth.

The hot spring water solved the skin problems of many people. At first, there were so many excited tourists who came to give out banners that they hung them all over the simple room where Accountant Ma was on duty, leaving no room for more banners.

Leng Yanqiu came up with a good idea. She asked the women in the village who were good at needlework to sew small, colorful sachets filled with mugwort and mint leaves that grew wildly under the peach trees. They were cheap, too, costing between five and ten yuan. They could also be paired with ribbons with some words written on them and hung on the branches of the peach trees.

Originally, it was just to replace the expensive and space-consuming thank you banners, but soon it changed its meaning, and the words of thanks became love words. Many lovers came here to make vows of eternal love, and two sachets were hung on the peach trees, with lingering love and hot messages...

This has become a scene on the farm. From a distance, the colorful sachets look like newly-harvested fruits, and each fruit contains a vivid story.

Ding Guihua also has a story, and she thinks she has hidden it well.

Ever since attending Wu Xiangsheng's wedding that time, he was moved by the entire beautiful and touching ceremony. With the extra care of Director Leng who was sitting next to him, the two of them had dinner together again, and thus began their secretive and mysterious way of getting along.

Without talking about marriage, it is so comfortable to get along like this. They don't have to care about the attitudes of each other's families, and there are no financial disputes. The two of them often put their dates far away and go out during Leng Suo's free time. Sometimes when Leng Suo comes back to work, Ding Guihua can continue to travel, and Leng Suo will pick her up the next weekend.

After the formaldehyde levels in Jinghua Apartment were found to be qualified, Leng Yanqiu often stayed there. Her plan was to take the college entrance examination in two years, which would be a perfect fulfillment for her regret of dropping out of school in her previous life.

I have had a very pleasant time in Jinghua High School for the past two years. I have helped a lot of people intentionally or unintentionally, especially the teachers and students of Class 18. All of them have been fed and become strong and energetic. My classmates are so reluctant to leave this united and friendly class. They can only study harder to keep their one fortieth position.

The teachers have deeply felt how lucky it is to teach Class 18. Those with hair loss have grown hair, the acne spots on their skin have disappeared, they are in a good mood in class, there is always a full snack box next to the desk, and there are also reserves in the cupboard in the corner of the classroom. No matter which teacher or student is thirsty or hungry, they can open the box or cupboard at any time to fill up. Usually, the class monitor Leng is responsible for replenishing the food. When the students come back from vacation, they all put things in the cupboard, and the teachers will also think of bringing delicious food to share with Class 18.

Yan Haoyi and You Dianshuai became the capable "two generals" under Captain Leng. They were the kind that would not allow anyone to refuse their appointment. The first job they did was to help Captain Leng deal with the love letters in the drawer. The sword spirit in the space was still wondering why there were suddenly no fresh love letters for him to peek at?

Teacher Chen was most grateful to Monitor Leng because his mother, whom he cared about the most, survived. It was Monitor Leng, who lived in Jinghua Apartment, who suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night and rushed into the house to save her life. In fact, he was a little confused. He didn't know why this high school student could predict that his mother would fall ill in time. His memory was not clear. Every time he thought about it, he could only describe that there was a loud thunder in the sky at that time, rumbling...

In more than a year of high school life, Leng Yanqiu has experienced eight thunder tribulations. The speed was very fast and she could not afford to procrastinate. It was as if she had memorized the same test questions by heart, so she could not help but write quickly during the exam.

But she had to suppress it. Ding Guihua, the mother who wanted to hide her love affair but couldn't hide her excitement, was still a mortal. She was immersed in a happy life and couldn't extricate herself. Occasionally, she would laugh out loud while practicing in the space, which scared the lonely man who was trapped in a corner enjoying the farming life and made him beg for mercy again and again...

Who wouldn’t be nostalgic for the joys and sorrows of this world?

Two students from Class 18 took the college entrance examination in advance, Leng Yanqiu and Yan Haoyi, currently known as the "male and female heroes". You Dianshuai, one of the "two generals Heng and Ha", also wanted to continue to follow them, but was stopped by Teacher Chen. He had to wait another year to learn his results.

Sometimes fate is a circle. The two entered the examination room set up by the school again for the high school entrance examination and met another acquaintance, a taller and more handsome acquaintance with a layer of green mustache above his lips, Gao Junjie.

The handsome young man who returned to his hometown to take the college entrance examination has grown up and become even better.

Leng Yanqiu walked in front, guarded by the new "Heng Ha duo" on both sides. What was interesting was that the three of them were taking the college entrance examination in the same classroom. Gao Junjie was the first one at the door, Yan Haoyi was the last one, and Leng Yanqiu was in the middle, strangely following the layout of when they took the exam together in the past.

But this time, Yan Haoyi will not be naughty anymore. With Squad Leader Leng by his side, he has learned to be respectful.

The weather was very hot and the sun was scorching, as if a random spark could instantly burn everything that could be burned.

The temperature was even hotter and more sultry during the exam the next day, but the sky was gloomy. There was always faint thunder echoing in the sky above the exam room, and the long-awaited rain had not come yet.

During Leng Yanqiu's last exam, the handwriting on the test paper began to become less neat, and she tried her best to add a barrier to herself so that the thunder tribulation could not find her trace.

The path to immortality that she once pursued is no longer so important. She now enjoys the lively and delicious atmosphere of life. There are still so many delicious foods she has not tasted, so many beautiful scenery she has not seen, and so many love letters she has not opened to read.

Also, the wish promised to Ding Guihua of becoming the mother of the top scorer in the college entrance examination has not yet been fulfilled.

At the very least, he should use the identity of "the girl's parent" to talk to Leng about his and Ding Guihua's future, and suggest that they just protect and accompany each other without getting married...

Faint thunder.

Outside the examination room, anxious parents were crowded together under the willow trees, some were fanning themselves, some were sitting on stools, some were holding bouquets of flowers, some were weighing bottles of mineral water, some were smoking... Ding Guihua was among them. It was still the place where they parked their cars for the high school entrance examination that year. Leng's car was right next to the car. He had a legitimate reason to be on duty with the police officers.

"I remember that Xiaoqiu would hand in his paper early during the high school entrance examination. Now he has finally gotten serious and can sit until the end." Leng Suo smiled, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the examination room.

"Well, she has grown up..." Ding Guihua sighed.

The grown-up Leng Yanqiu once again showed up in front of the examination hall gate early, hurriedly squeezing through the line of parents who came to ask her, "Why did you come out? Are the questions difficult?"

Many arms tried to hold her back, and some were even recording videos.

"Crack", a bolt of lightning struck and thunder roared.

Is it going to rain?

The parents began to frantically look for umbrellas, and the first student who ran out had disappeared.

"Qiu'er! Qiu'er!" Ding Guihua ran and waved her hands.

Director Leng: "Why can't this kid sit still again?"

He also wanted to run along, but he stopped himself. Ding Guihua wouldn't allow him to reveal their relationship.

"Mom, I want to start my graduation trip now."

Leng Yanqiu stopped and said with a smile.

"Where do you want to go? Mom will accompany you." Ding Guihua also smiled, "Leaving tomorrow?"

"I have to go by myself." Leng Yanqiu looked up at the sky, "Can you keep your money?"

Ding Guihua laughed again, "Haha, Qiu'er, you look down on your mother again, don't you? If you don't want to take mom with you, okay, mom will stay at home and continue to make more money, and only spend it on the two of us, not on others, okay?"

Leng Yanqiu looked at her and had a lot to say.

She took out a pencil case from her pocket, which contained stationery and her admission ticket and ID card.

"Here, I'm leaving!" She only left her ID card in her hand and waved to Ding Guihua, "My graduation trip starts from now on. Goodbye, Mom!"

The woman ran like the wind, through the surging team of parents, through the hot air currents, through the lightning, and the rumbling thunder.

"Click", "Boom", "Snap, Snap, Snap"...

The sky seemed to be split open, and heavy rain poured down.

Leng Suo: "Aren't you going to chase Xiao Qiu?"

Ding Guihua was confident: "No need, she has a place to hide from the rain."

She was really not panicked. The mother and daughter shared a space together. They were not exposed to the rain, and they could leave messages and meet each other.

"I just forgot to give her my phone number, so it's inconvenient to contact her." Ding Guihua said as she opened the car door. "I'm leaving first. Thank you for the umbrella."

The bell rang to signal the end of the exam, and Director Leng ran towards the cordon holding an umbrella, while the white Odyssey gradually drove away.

The line of parents became even more crowded. Students without umbrellas ran out with their heads covered with their coats and pads. There were screams and noises inside and outside the school.

There were lightning, thunder and heavy rain, as if thousands of troops were fighting in the sky. It should have been more fierce than the last time, but it seemed like it had legs. In front of the school gate, the clouds and rain stopped in an instant, and the sky brightened. Thousands of troops had crossed the border and headed towards the fields in the suburbs.

The two handsome young men separated at the school gate. Gao Junjie felt very good because he had the upper hand in this battle: "Sister Qiu and I have an agreement to apply to the same university."

Yan Haoyi without an appointment: …

Teacher Chen left a message in the group: "Students should not slack off at home and learn from Leng Yanqiu and Yan Haoyi!"

Tian Mengmeng: We won’t have a holiday after the college entrance examination. Sister Qiu will come to the class to continue teaching.

Fu Dongzhi: Sister Qiu will still come to class to continue teaching.

……

The reputation of Osmanthus Farm is still very famous. There are more and more sachets hanging on the peach trees. Tourists say that this is a magical place. There are no mosquitoes and flies in the summer and no severe cold in the winter. The owner of the farm often comes here to stay for a while. He is not interested in the newly built villa and is happy to live in the simple house next to the hot spring.

Ding Guihua's business is still booming. The college entrance examination results came out at the end of July, and she is still the mother of the top scorer, but the top scorer has gone traveling and his return date is uncertain.

Gao Junjie and Yan Haoyi filled out the application form for Leng Yanqiu together. They agreed that the three of them would go to the same university, and they would be Sister Qiu's "two generals" and reach the peak of their lives together.

There is still a snack box and a cupboard on the desk of Class 38 of Senior High School, which are always full. If any teacher or student is hungry or thirsty, they can open the box or cupboard at any time to fill their stomachs, but their movements are slower and gentler than before.

The teachers at Linhe Town Middle School would suddenly mention in class that they once had a senior who rose up from the worst situation, resisted, fought, defeated, and charged forward...

The small world is still lush and green, but there are no flying swords. The ones who have been having fun in it for a long time are Zhenbao and Zhazhaji.

Some people can only be missed.
