Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Wen Rui brought the face over and heard the other party talking on the phone.

He respected the person on the other end of the phone, even across the phone, he always had a polite smile on his face.

"Yes yes yes. All right, I'll be there in a while. Good, good... Yes, yes."

Wen Rui put the noodles in front of him, and the man kept talking on the phone and didn't forget to nod his head to express his thanks.

Wen Rui sat back at the table to eat his meal, Zhang Huaibin frowned and said, "Don't eat it when it's cold, cook another bowl, don't eat it badly."

"It's okay, that's all there is left."

"He's by your side? Then can you let him answer the phone? Yes, I'll just ask him something. Thank you teacher." The man fell silent after finishing speaking. He lowered his head and ate the noodles with chopsticks. The phone is still attached to the ear, as if waiting for another person to answer the call.

After chewing the little noodles in his mouth, he yelled at the other side: "Huo Qian, you are so fucking talented! You have even learned to bully the teacher! You don't care how old the teacher is. When I was studying He is teaching, and his teaching age is older than yours... Why are you poor? I can do whatever I say! You little bastard..." Before he could swear the word "zi", the tone of his words suddenly changed, his face The fierce look on the screen was suddenly replaced by a smile, "Oh teacher, no, I won't scold him, I will explain the truth to him. Yes, you are right, don't worry, I will never beat him or scold him , I am the most reasonable person. Okay, okay, you go to class, and I will go to the office to find you after you finish class."

The smile on the man's face disappeared after answering the phone, he took a picture of the phone on the table and continued eating noodles.

Wen Rui: "..."

After dinner, Wen Rui and the old man prepared the materials needed for dinner. Now the old man would often take Wen Rui to the vegetable market to pick the ingredients.

Wen Rui is good at cooking, but he still needs a little time to buy vegetables.

The man didn't leave immediately after eating the noodles. He asked, "Can I stay here a little longer? Just stay until the first get out of class is over."

Wen Rui nodded: "Okay. Do you drink water? How about pouring you a glass of water?"

The man smiled and thanked: "I'm sorry for the trouble."

Wen Rui poured him a glass of boiling water and went to work again.

The man was sitting there playing with his mobile phone, or it should be said that he was using his mobile phone for work. His expression was focused and serious, as if he was not the same as the scolding person just now.

"This piece, yes, this piece of beef is better, the meat is more tender, and the cut must be thick..." The old man was talking to Wen Rui, when the man outside suddenly shouted: "Little brother, settle the bill. "

Wen Rui went out to count the money for him, and the man paid and left.

When he returned to the kitchen, the old man suddenly said, "I know that man, his name is Huo Qiming."

Wen Rui asked, "How do you know him?"

"He was our champion in the city." The old man said while cutting the beef slices.

Wen Rui is kneading dough: "It's been so many years, do you still remember?"

"Remember, he was admitted to the highest university in the past, and we haven't been able to get one here for many years. The school put up a banner to celebrate Huo Qiming's admission to Q University. There was still a picture of him on the campus. I like to go for a walk on the campus in summer nights, and I often look at that picture. The photo looks familiar, he hasn't changed much."

Wen Rui: "So it's still hanging up? Now it's not hanging up?"

"It was removed later. The man didn't finish college. I don't know if he was fired or he didn't want to go to school. The high school thought he was fired, so he took the photo down because he felt ashamed. I heard that he went home to plant trees. I went. There was a time when the children didn’t want to study and they told their parents, so what if they got into Q University, maybe they would go home and plant trees like Huo Qiming.”

Wen Rui frowned and didn't say much.

"Let's not talk about this. You come to cut the beef..." Zhang Huaibin handed the kitchen knife to Wen Rui.

-

There is plenty of rain in the south, before and after Qingming, it rained intermittently for two weeks, the whole room was filled with moisture, and the skin was sticky and greasy, as if the continuous rain was so depressing that even the skin could not help but gulp Breathing wants to breathe.

Wen Rui didn't go to the noodle shop on weekends, so he specially took this day out to accompany Jiang Yueting.

Some time ago, the weather was good, and he would take his children to go outing nearby every week. There are many mountains and rivers nearby, which is very suitable for going out to play.

He was inexperienced at the beginning, and he didn't know the surrounding scenery was good, so he even took Jiang Yueting to visit Mengcheng, but he spent most of the time on the road, which made him very tired and didn't enjoy the fun of the trip at all.

Later, the old man told him that the scenery of the small towns in Huaicheng was pretty good, and asked him to take the children for an outing.

But it has been raining for the past two weeks, Jiang Yueting doesn't care, he has lived in this small town since he was a child, and he has long been used to this kind of weather, but Wen Rui has always been uninterested, he doesn't like rainy days very much, so he can only stay in bed Reading with Jiang Yueting on the bed in the bedroom.

Jiang Yueting leaned against Wen Rui's arms to read his newly bought masterpiece. He suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Ching Ming Festival? Going to visit the grave."

Wen Rui was reading other books. He stroked Jiang Yueting's hair. He didn't understand why he said this. He didn't think Jiang Yueting was going to visit Jiang Hao's grave.

"I want to visit grandma's grave." Jiang Hao never took him to pay homage to grandma after his mother left.

Wen Rui became serious: "Okay, do you know where your grandma's tomb is? If you don't know, just ask your aunt, they should also go there tomorrow."

Jiang Yueting: "In the cemetery on Huanxi Road."

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."

The rain still didn't stop the next day, and the whole sky was gray. Wen Rui and Jiang Yueting took a taxi there.

He held up an umbrella and carried incense paper money and led Jiang Yueting up the mountain.The weather is not so good, there are no people in the cemetery at the moment, only a few here and there.

Jiang Yueting had a good memory, and soon found his grandmother's tombstone. They walked over, and Wen Rui realized that the man standing not far away was Huo Qiming.

The man was wearing casual clothes, and he looked very tall and straight. He didn't hold an umbrella, and the drizzle had already soaked his hair and clothes. He looked at the tombstone in front of him with a gloomy expression, and he had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't Point, the smoke is also softened by the rain.

Seeing him in a daze for a moment, Jiang Yueting followed his gaze and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Ok?"

Huo Qiming seemed to have noticed Wen Rui's gaze, he turned his head and looked over, the gloom on his face dissipated, he smiled and waved to Wen Rui: "Little boss, we meet again."

It has been a month since the two met, and Wen Rui didn't expect that he still remembered him.
