Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Fei Yuanhang was sent back to the ward. Qiu Luming heard it but did not go to see it.

Fei's mother also did not allow the Qiu family to enter the ward and drove them away at the door. "Dr. Qiu performed the surgery on my son, I will burn incense to thank him, but for the rest, forget it! We can't afford it!"

Qiu Luming didn't know how he got home. In a daze, he felt his mother gently wiping his face with a hot towel and covering him with a quilt. The heat from the kang was transmitted to him through the mattress. He cried bitterly and his heart became much clearer, but at the same time, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.

The eldest brother was talking in the living room. "It's okay. Dad and the third brother went to stay at the second brother's house. Well, it's okay, not serious. Fei Yuanhang was with his nephew to set off firecrackers. The kid was still young and didn't know much. He aimed the firecracker at him. The distance was too close, and his leg was injured and he was not flexible. He didn't dodge. As luck would have it, the firecracker got into his collar."

Liu Xiaomei sighed, "Oh my God!"

"The skin and tissues that were burned by the collapse were stuck to the underwear due to improper treatment. In addition to the gunpowder, it was difficult to deal with. The bones and internal organs were not damaged. There will definitely be a scar on the chest, but overall it's not a big deal."

Liu Xiaomei hushed and said, "Keep your voice down, Dabao is asleep."

Qiu Luming closed her eyes. She knew that her brother was talking to her.

She tried hard to regulate her breathing and pretend that she was asleep with steady breathing so as not to worry her mother.

I was so tired that I fell asleep without knowing when. When I woke up, the quilt was still warm. In the kitchen, I could hear the sound of dumplings being put into the pot. A spoon was gently pushing the bottom of the pot, and then the lid was gently closed.

There were whispers coming from the living room, and Qiu Moshi whispered, "Bullshit! I think he is a bit stupid!"

Qiu Huaixin snorted, "Stupid? Your sister will only think he is infatuated!"

Liu Xiaomei said, "I think it's quite infatuated too!"

"Just don't get involved!"

"What's wrong? If someone is willing to risk getting hurt once in order to save me from the reputation of a jinx, I will be very touched. I will remember his kindness for the rest of my life! You two are just wooden people, emotionless wooden people!"

"Sister-in-law, the key point is not this. He was so self-righteous that he hurt himself. As soon as he came back, he went to reconcile with Youyou. Youyou had almost gotten over this stage, but he provoked her and rekindled their old feelings! Well, within two days, a bucket of cold water was poured on them again, and he almost confirmed his reputation as a jinx! What do you think he is if not an idiot?"

"He didn't mean it."

"Hey wife, where are you holding a spoon?"

"Of course I used the spoon to cook dumplings. Oops, the pot boiled!" Liu Xiaomei quickly ran back to the kitchen.

"There is a nurse in the emergency department of our hospital. Whenever she works the night shift, she will always get a serious case and cannot rest all night, so no one wants to work with her. There is also a nurse in the operating room. Whenever she talks to me, something goes wrong. After three times, I made it clear that she is not allowed to enter my operating room!"

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. Sometimes, when science can't explain something, we use metaphysics to explain it. I now think that what my father said about the Five Elements, Six Qi, and Eight Characters all make sense. I have to study it tomorrow!"

"I'm warning you, it's best not to mention this in front of Yoyo!"

"I know, no need for you to remind me!"

The table was set and the dumplings were cooked. He Manshu gently opened the door to the north room and saw her daughter lying motionless with a quilt covering her head. She looked at her for two seconds and then gently closed the door again.

"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, the eldest brother can accompany Xiaomei back to her parents' home. If there is a place to stay at night, stay there. If not, go back to your original house. Don't worry about Yoyo. I'll cook for her when she wakes up."

Qiu Luming tried her best to appear as if nothing had happened. After all, these few days were the only time her family could get together throughout the year. However, she still affected the mood of her family reunion and felt a little guilty.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Qiu Luming went to the bus station to see off her eldest brother's family and her third brother. There were actually many people who were out working in the waiting room, including several of Qiu Luming's junior high school classmates. Qiu Luming felt that everyone was looking at her with scrutiny and ill intent, but she still bravely straightened her back and responded to her classmates' greetings with a smile.

Liu Xiaomei was surprised and said, "It's only been a few years, how come so many people are going out to work?"

Qiu Moshi sighed, "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be another batch. If there is a good position in my hometown, who would go out and squeeze with others! Sister-in-law, you will know when you get on the train that there are more people coming from the forestry bureaus along the line. Our forests and minerals are exhausted, and thousands of workers have been laid off one after another. If they don't go out to earn money, they can't even afford the tuition for their children.

Our teaching quality is not up to par, and every child goes out to study at their own expense as soon as they graduate from high school. In fact, they don’t have jobs even if they go to study at their own expense, but they still compete with each other desperately. Every family has three or four children, and how much money does it cost to support them? Tsk, what kind of thing is this!

I have a classmate who is learning to do business in Guangzhou. He is doing well, but his life is very, very hard. You can't imagine that he drinks with clients almost every day and signs contracts when he is in a daze. Sometimes he gets so drunk that he even forgets to sign the contract. A female classmate worked as a waitress in the Harbin Hotel for two years and then married a Taiwanese man, who seemed to have a family. Many others went to work on the assembly line in a Japanese factory in Dalian, working in three shifts, which is even harder.

Maybe they will be better in a few years, but for now, Yoyo is the best. She is with her parents, safe and secure, and has a good job."

Qiu Huaixin pinched Qiu Luming's face and said, "Work hard and don't be ungrateful."

Qiu Luming smiled and nodded, "Well, you guys go and work hard, I'll stay at home with my parents."

"Look at your face now!" Qiu Huaixin said with a smile. "Eat it back!"

Eat it back!

Qiu Luming almost cried after hearing this. She scratched her eyebrows and said, "You are going to make fun of me if I get fat."

The ticket check started, and Qiu Moshi came over and pinched her cheek, "It will be fine, stand up!"

Qiu Luming nodded heavily.

Liu Xiaomei held her hand worriedly, but didn't know what to say.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's really okay."

Dabao was jumping up and down beside him, and he also wanted to pinch his aunt's face, so Qiu Luming squatted down and pinched him. She said, "Have a safe journey!"

In the afternoon, Qiu Jiashu and his wife returned from Yi City with a bunch of gifts.

As soon as Qiu Jiashu entered the house, he noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. After learning the details, he felt incredible, "How could such a thing happen!"

Fang Yuan was also very surprised, but she said nothing. She just sat quietly by the wall without making a sound.

Qiu Jiashu said to Qiu Luming, "Yoyo, Fei Yuanhang is really nice to you, but it seems like you two are not suitable for each other. Don't argue with God. Just let him go. Don't let him go even if he tries to seduce you again. That's it!"

"We've officially broken up."

"Yes! That's it. People's fate is limited. You two only have so much fate. Once it's used up, it's gone. There's no need to be sad. It's like the sky raining. After the rain, the sky clears up and it becomes a sunny day."

Qiu Luming nodded, "I know."

What she didn't say was that on the third day of junior high school, she asked her third brother to go to the hospital and bring three words to Fei Yuanhang for her: Break up.

Fei Yuanhang lay on the bed and said only six words, "I agree. I'm sorry."

It’s not that she didn’t have the courage to break up in person, but she was afraid that Fei Yuanhang would be hurt again.

——She was sure that she was not an unlucky person, and she was also sure that she and Fei Yuanhang were not destined to be together.

Qiu Luming passed all four subjects taken in October last year, and scored 63 points in English, just passing the passing line.

She immediately started studying the four courses she had applied for, no longer caring about other people's comments and never asking about Fei Yuanhang's news.

Although there were not many patients in the hospital that day, there were still a few doctors and nurses, so the news that Fei Yuanhang was injured again and again spread quickly. The residents of the small town sighed and talked about it a lot.

Qin Huifang went to her home to comfort her, but she just smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Qin Huifang didn't believe it, and held her hand to comfort her for ten minutes. Suddenly, Qiu Luming said, "Huifang, go home quickly. Bingbing is crying and looking for her mother!"

"Hate it, you're chasing me away? I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!" Qin Huifang pouted.

"real!"

Qin Huifang was worried about her child, so she went to the living room to make a phone call. As soon as the call was connected, Bingbing's loud crying came from the receiver. Qin Huifang quickly hung up the phone and turned away, "Qiu Luming, you witch!"

Qiu Luming laughed, "I guessed it!"

"Witch!" Before Qin Huifang's voice faded away, she had already ridden away for a long distance.

He Manshu smiled, "Being a mother is different."
