Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]

Lu Erhao's life has been a long, long time.

It's been so long that he can hardly remember how many people he sent off and how many people he welcomed.

He had handed over the family business to his children in his early years.

Later, just like his mother at the beginning, he lived a secluded old life in seclusion.

Some of the things he has experienced in his life are unimaginable; some of them are the same as many, thousands of ordinary people——

There were relatives who loved him and loved him like a treasure;

He no longer had any regrets, but he still dragged his dying old body, stubbornly refusing to leave, as if he was waiting for something.

A few days ago, he heard from his grandson that Aunt Yiping had gone.

At that time, Lu Erhao was lying on a bamboo rattan chair, leaning on thick and warm pillows, basking in the sun.

In recent years, his memory has become worse and worse. Sometimes many things and many people are mentioned for a long time before he finds some fragmented silhouettes in the depths of his memory.

But it is precisely because of this that he picks up some past memories from time to time in his spare time, and chews on them carefully.

He is not a person who likes to nostalgia for the past, but in recent days, for some reason, he always remembers the past more and more frequently.

That's why when he heard the news of Lu Yiping's death, he immediately realized who the grandson Yiping was talking about.

Lu Erhao remembered that the last time he saw Lu Yiping was when he was about to leave Shanghai after the war.

At that time, Lu Yiping, who had never contacted Mr. Lu since he moved in with him, suddenly found him and told him that Mr. Lu was critically ill and had only his last breath left.

At that time, Lu Yiping asked him if he wanted to take a last look at Mr. Lu.

At that time, Lu Erhao only thought about it for a moment, and then agreed - although he only regarded Mr. Lu as an irrelevant stranger, but no matter what, Mr. Lu was also the father of "Lu Erhao".

For the last journey of his life, let him take the place of the original body and send off Mr. Lu.

I haven't seen Mr. Lu in the past ten years. He is much older than ten years ago.

His skin was wrinkled like dead tree bark, his hair was as pale as frost and snow, his eyes that were once full of majesty were cloudy, and his breathing was extremely weak. If it wasn't for the fact that Mr. Lu turned his head slightly when Lu Erhao came in , Lu Erhao even had some doubts, whether it was a person who was still alive.

At that time, Mr. Lu was already unrecognizable.

His breath was extremely weak, and he could hardly speak a complete sentence, but he seemed to be muttering something.

Apart from Lu Yiping and Lu Erhao, there was only one nurse in her 40s in the ward.

Lu Erhao was a little surprised that he didn't see Fu Wenpei.

Seeing this, Lu Yiping whispered to him: "My mother became ill from overwork four years ago, and she is no longer here."

Lu Erhao had almost no impression of Fu Wenpei, so he just said "sorry" indifferently and politely, and then pulled a chair over, and sat quietly by the bedside of Mr. Lu, without saying a word.

Old man Lu was still muttering something, Lu Erhao vaguely heard some fragmentary words like "Pingping", but didn't pay much attention.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yiping broke the silence in the ward after a while.

"Erhao, did you already know about that?" Sitting on the chair next to Lu Erhao, Lu Yiping asked lightly.

"What's the matter?" Lu Erhao, who had no idea what Lu Yiping was talking about, replied in the same tone.

But seeing Lu Yiping's eyes getting redder and redder, her hands tensed up suddenly, she shouted to Lu Erhao in a low voice: "Did you know who the person Dad really loves?! Did you already know that Dad later All the women in the world have the same characteristics?! Whether it's the aunts who were left in the Northeast, or my mother, or even Aunt Xue! These women who were forcibly taken back by the father are all substitutes for that 'Pingping'? ! Did you already know?!! That's why you insisted on taking Aunt Xue away?!"

Lu Erhao had never heard of "Pingping" being mentioned before, and neither had his mother, but from Lu Yiping's excited words, Lu Erhao still heard something.

But in fact, he has never been interested in the love-hate entanglements related to Mr. Lu, and even deep down in his heart, he has no affection for this man who once threatened his mother's life.

Therefore, in the face of Lu Yiping's questioning, Lu Erhao only asked indifferently, "I have never heard of the 'Pingping' you mentioned."

Lu Yiping drooped her shoulders and her body gradually trembled.

Later, she cried.

Lu Erhao didn't like Lu Yiping, so he didn't comfort her.

After Lu Yiping's mood finally stabilized, Lu Erhao heard her hoarse voice again.

I just heard Lu Yiping say: "These years, my father and I get along pretty well, and occasionally I hear him mention some things when I was young. You probably don't know that when my father was young, he came from a humble background. He used to be a minister in the family of a minister in the Qing Dynasty. The groom fell in love with the young lady of the grown-up family. Later, when the grown-up found out about this, he almost beat his father half to death and threw him out of the house. After that, his father made up his mind to make contributions and become a man. Master, and then go to marry that young lady and go through the door..."

Talking about the past events of Mr. Lu, Lu Yiping could hardly find any emotional fluctuations on her face, "Later, when the Qing Dynasty fell, wars broke out everywhere, and warlords everywhere rose up. With extraordinary courage and courage to risk his life, he became a great general with power in his hands. Only then was he finally able to go back and win his childhood sweetheart in a fair manner. But it was only then that he learned that the person who fell in love with him Miss, many years ago, she committed suicide on the day her father forced her to marry her."

"That lady's name is Pingping."

"Dad has had so many women in his life, and he has married nine wives... Every time the bride comes in, she must wear the big red riding suit that Dad gave her... Do you know why?"

"Because, Miss Pingping, who my father loves the most, in this life, is the bright red riding outfit!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yiping's expression became a little grim.

"Whether it's my mother or Aunt Xue, when they entered the door, they were all wearing the favorite clothes of Miss 'Pingping'!"

"A few days ago, when I was helping Dad clean up the study room, do you know what I found?! Do you remember? In Dad's study room, he always locked the little box in the drawer and took it out to look at it from time to time! Inside , there is only a photo of a young woman!! My mother's eyebrows, Aunt Xue's nose and mouth, and the faces of those wives, all have more or less similarities with the women in the photo! I am also in It was then that I suddenly realized that all the women my father later married were just substitutes for that 'Pingping'!! Did you know that!!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yiping burst into tears again.

"And the names of our daughters! Whether it's Ruping, Mengping, Yiping or Xinping, the girls in the Lu family all have the word 'ping' in their names! I know where the word came from!"

"My mother followed my father all her life and served him all her life. Later, she was abandoned by him, and she waited for him for so many years, but she didn't know until she died. In my father's heart, she was just a substitute!! I hate him !! How could he treat my mother like this, how could he treat us daughters like this?! He has no heart at all!! He only loves the dead man who lives in his memory, I hate him!!"

Lu Yiping cried hysterically in front of the bed of the delirious Mr. Lu.

She looked at Lu Erhao who was still calm after hearing the truth, and finally couldn't help but asked sharply: "Erhao, don't you feel unfair for Aunt Xue?! Don't you hate him?! Like him What qualifications does a person have to die in the company of others?! He has failed so much sincerity, so he deserves to die alone! Aunt Xue is right, he is a loner, he does not deserve anyone’s sincere treatment!! I hate him, I hate him!! Mom... You have been wronged in this life, Mom..."

After many years, until now, Lu Erhao seems to still remember Lu Yiping's sad "I hate him" back then.

In fact, Lu Yiping didn't understand, and would never understand, why he didn't hate Mr. Lu.

It is precisely because I have loved and invested too much emotion that when I understand that I have been let down, I have such intense hatred.

However, to Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin, Mr. Lu is just a stranger.

Later, a few days after leaving Shanghai, Lu Erhao got the news that Mr. Lu died of illness in the hospital.

It is said that when he died, no one was around him.

Lu Yiping was not by his side at that time.

The person who told Lu Erhao the news couldn't help sighing at that time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu had been a master for half his life, but the scene before his death was so bleak that no one even died for him.

But later, Lu Erhao also got the news that Ruping and Ye Lin, who had learned of the news of Mr. Lu's death, went to hold a funeral for Mr. Lu, and then returned to Hong Kong with Mr. Lu's ashes, so that Mr. Lu would not really become a grandson. A lonely ghost with no one to worship.

Later, Lu Erhao got the news that Lu Yiping was married.

Lu Erhao remembered that after experiencing the failed relationship with He Shuhuan, Lu Yiping had another relationship with a rich kid from a good family background.

At that time, Lu Yiping didn't know about Mr. Lu's past, Fu Wenpei was still alive, and she was the only child of the Lu family who was with Mr. Lu.

But even so, Lu Yiping's love affair seemed to be quite unsatisfactory.Her temperament is stubborn and fierce, and it is rare for ordinary men to bear it, let alone a man who was also promoted since childhood.

After that time, Lu Yiping seemed to have received a big blow, and her temper changed a lot.

Lu Erhao heard that Lu Yiping later married a very gentle university teacher.

Lu Yiping is quite accomplished in music. After graduating from university, she seemed to have awakened from the vortex of love between men and women, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War, and co-created many popular revolutionary songs with her lover.

Regarding the news about Lu Yiping, Lu Erhao had only heard a little about it.

Later, Lu Erhao also listened to the juniors, and mentioned this person a few times in passing.

Once, there was a grandchild in the family who mentioned going to a classmate's house as a guest. Unexpectedly, the grandma of the classmate's house was an old acquaintance with Lu Yiping, the elder of the Lu family.

It was rare for Lu Erhao to be interested at that time, so he casually asked the name of that elder.

Later I heard that his surname was Zhang and his first name was Qianqian. When he was in Shanghai in his early years, he was a classmate of the same university as Lu Yiping.

After Lu Erhao thought for a long time, he vaguely recalled that Zhang Qianqian seemed to have some entanglements with Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan back then.

But because Lu Erhao had almost no contact with He Shuhuan at that time, so he had never met Zhang Qianqian.

A few years ago, when Du Fei brought his wife to visit Hong Kong, he visited Lu Erhao.

It was also at that time that Lu Erhao knew that Du Fei and Ruping's college classmate Liu Rongrong had become husband and wife.

From Du Fei's mouth, Lu Erhao heard that He Shuhuan went to the battlefield after the war broke out.

Later, when the war was about to end, a leg was blown off. Although he finally saved that leg, he was disabled for life.

I heard that He Shuhuan's parents took him back to Chongqing after he recovered from his injury, and arranged a marriage for him. He Shuhuan didn't struggle anymore, and agreed directly.

When mentioning He Shuhuan's entanglements with Yiping and Zhang Qianqian back then, Du Fei couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Qianqian, who had been impatient for a long time, grabbed his ears severely. Finally, the old couple said goodbye to Lu Erhao together.

"Grandpa, wake up quickly, sleep outside, and be careful not to catch a cold." When Lu Erhao was in a trance, he was gently shaken awake by the younger generation at home.

Lu Erhao slowly opened his eyes.

In recent years, as he has gotten older, his temper has become much milder than when he was young.

At least, from the generation of his sons and daughters, they still don't dare to show their airs in front of him, but the children of these grandchildren and grandchildren like to jump up and down around him since they were young. It can be seen.

So after opening his eyes and seeing that he was a junior in the family, Lu Erhao slightly hooked the corners of his lips, smiled and said slowly to his grandson: "Your uncles and aunts are making a lot of noise in the house, and it's not easy for your grandpa to be here. Hiding quietly, I was caught by you."

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Lu Erhao's face, the junior smiled and said: "Great grandfather, uncles and aunts usually don't dare to make such a noise. They didn't just hear about it today. There was a lot of noise in the news a while ago. In the case of the sinking of the luxury cruise ship, there were also distant relatives of our family, so I just said a few more words."

After hearing this, Lu Erhao didn't pay much attention to it. He himself had a lot of near-death experiences, so he didn't have so much energy to care about this kind of natural disaster* that happened every day.

Until that night, he had a dream.

To be exact, he suddenly dreamed about something that happened a long time ago, so long ago, it was actually something that happened in his previous life.

In the dream, he was still the young man who lost his father early and just lost his mother.

Early the next morning, Lu Erhao announced to his family that he was going to the mainland.

He is already very old, and his usual range of activities is almost only in this well-equipped mansion. Even if there is any emergency in his body, there are doctors on call at any time.

Therefore, for Lu Erhao's sudden proposal to leave Hong Kong and go to the mainland, the children in the family were very opposed.

But for this matter, Lu Erhao was very persistent, even persisting to such an extent that the children felt inexplicable.

In the end, those juniors couldn't hold back Lu Erhao after all, so they arranged a lot of bodyguards and calm young people at home to accompany Lu Erhao and head to the mainland together.

Having not stood on this land for many years, Lu Erhao would feel somewhat nostalgic.

But what he misses even more is the city where he was born, grew up, and finally left that world.

Lu Erhao never thought that there would be such absurd things in the world.

So much so that when he saw the information he found, he saw the young man named Rong Rui, the head of the Rong family who had passed away a few years ago, and Mrs. Rong who died in a shipwreck not long ago. When taking pictures, even his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Always by Lu Erhao's side, the younger generation of the Lu family who came to the inland from Hong Kong, after many years, can't forget that the head of the Lu family, Lu Erhao, who has always been very majestic and always maintains a serious appearance, is in no one's eyes. In the car that can be seen, holding the documents of those distant relatives of the Lu family, crying like a child.

Lu Erhao always thought that he had forgotten all the memories of his previous life in these long years.

But he didn't expect that when he stood in front of the cemetery where three members of the Rong family were buried, he would automatically walk in the direction he had visited countless times without even thinking about it.

In front of a recently erected tombstone, he saw a haggard young man.

The young man seemed to have noticed his arrival. Although his face was cold and his brows still had a pain that could never be erased, he still nodded politely to him.

Lu Erhao also nodded to him politely, and stood in front of the tomb with him.

The young man turned around and left quickly. Lu Erhao looked at his back with a hint of envy and indescribable nostalgia in his eyes.

In the end, he slowly knelt down in front of the tomb, gently placed the white magnolia in his hand beside the tomb, smiled and said to the figure in the photo that he hadn't seen for many years: "He will see you soon, Isn't it, mother..."

The younger generation of the Lu family, who had been watching Lu Erhao's actions from a distance, couldn't help but feel puzzled again, because in his memory, the Lu family and the Rong family, their distant in-laws, really didn't move around much these years.

So he couldn't understand why his great-grandfather knelt in front of the tomb of Mrs. Rong who had just passed away, showing such a sad and gratified expression.

A month later, Lu Erhao, who finally returned to Hong Kong, finally closed his eyes amid the reluctance of many children and grandchildren.

At the same time, in the Republic of China a hundred years ago, the young soul who finally could not bear the pain of bereavement slowly woke up in a body with a high fever and severe pain.
