Jinnian

That day, Gu Chen forgot how long they had gone, and the long journey suddenly became short and warm in his memory. Anyway, when he returned, Uncle Min had already cooked a table of meals and was about to come out to look for him with a flashlight. It is worth meeting at the intersection of the road.Lu Chuxiu originally wanted to see him off and take the car back, but he couldn't refuse Yu Min's enthusiasm for keeping him for dinner, so he went home with Gu Chen.

Very simple home-cooked dishes. Because of his arrival, Yu Min copied two more dishes. The heat at home is still the kind of stove fired with briquettes, and the chimney goes all the way outside. It is indeed much colder than the place where Lu Chuxiu lives. , but maybe because of the small size of the house, once people get together, they don't feel cold anymore.

During the meal, Yu Min, like many parents with teenage children, likes to ask their children about their classmates' grades, studies, etc. Lu Chuxiu also answered them one by one, and he found that Yu Min didn't look like a middle-aged man. Some external things, but his conversation is very elegant, gentle and knowledgeable, very much like Gu Chen, so he also understands where this kid's profound knowledge comes from.Watching the father and son's warm conversation, Lu Chuxiu gradually felt a lot of tenderness and emotion in his heart.

For the first time, I was moved and admired by an ordinary middle-aged man who looked weak and had no social status. I was shocked by such a deep and tolerant father's love, and I was lucky to know such a talented boy.His understanding of Gu Chen's family has always been limited to investigating the information on the paper industry, the children raised by a single mother, the children who grew up with the landlord since childhood, and the children who lost their mother... Lin Lin Zongzong Those complicated and simple words describe a person's life, and he only has a rough understanding of it in his consciousness, but when he first got close contact and blended in, he realized that the sadness and happiness during it were not summed up by outsiders with one or two adjectives yes!

His mother and the adoptive father in front of him, the tenacity and affection of these little people made Lu Chuxiu feel admiration and warmth for the first time.

Regardless of Gu Chen's stop, Yu Min kept asking Lu Chuxiu to stay tonight. Although he really wanted to, it was really not possible tonight. The driver reminded him that his grandfather would come tonight.Lu Chuxiu declined the man's kindness politely, and saw Gu Chen quietly relax.

When Gu Chen sent him out, Lu Chuxiu asked him, "Are you afraid of being alone with me now?"

"Uh, no..." Gu Chen said in a low voice.

The two walked slowly to the main road and waited for the car. No one spoke along the way.When the car came, Gu Chen hurriedly said, "Thank you today."

Lu Chuxiu's hand to open the door stopped, turned his head to look at the boy in front of him for a moment, reached out to touch his head, and left.Gu Chen looked at Jue Chen's leaving car inexplicably for a while, then turned and went home.

On the day when the report card was sent out, Gu Chen and Yu Min went to see Gu Weishuang together and told her the good news, "Weishuang, although Xiaochen skipped two grades, his grades did not drop at all. Look at this ranking, the first in the class." Seven, the whole school is 22, I think I will get you a letter from a famous university soon!" Yu Min said happily, but the woman in the black and white photo on the tombstone was always smiling faintly.

Gu Chen felt very sad, he looked at Uncle Min's elated expression and knew that tears must have started to form in his eyes, several times he saw him wiping tears in front of the photo in the room, only a few months had passed since his mother passed away, None of them could recover from the great grief.Gu Weishuang's ashes have actually been brought back to her hometown, but Yu Min still bought a local cemetery in order to remember it often. For him and Gu Chen, S City is actually more like their home, because Gu Weishuang has already I haven't been back to my home for many years.Even the so-called grandparents, Gu Chen found it ironic!

Without any warm greetings and cordiality, Gu Weishuang and the family have already broken up. Although the old parents saw their daughter's ashes shed tears on the spot, they kept cursing and making Gu Chen feel uncomfortable, so he didn't have any thoughts of getting to know each other.His mother was lonely all her life, and he didn't want anyone to criticize her.

Gu Chen put a bouquet of white phalaenopsis on the tombstone. He always felt that orchids were the best complement to his mother. They were tough and elegant, holy and fragrant. This was the person he always looked up to and loved.Unknowingly, tears had burst into tears, Gu Chen cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Uncle Min, you can tell mom, I'll go back first." Before Yu Min could speak, he ran away without looking back .

Yu Min looked at the thin figure running far away, and murmured in a low voice: "Xiaochen still can't accept the fact that you're not here, so do I..." The man whispered In the cold wind, there was an uncontrollable sadness and despair in his soliloquy, as if every single tone he uttered was enough to burst his internal organs.

Gu Chen ran crazily all the way, the unstoppable pain and the truth swept over every part of his body, making him tremble all over!Death passed over his head like a huge bird, and the shadow was so heavy that he couldn't breathe until now.

At the age of 27, Yu Min finally took a rest, and woke up Gu Chen early in the morning to go out to buy new year's goods.In previous years, he and Gu Weishuang went back to buy things one after the other.Gu Chen was also very attached to him when he was a child, so their new year was very happy, but now, although he and Gu Chen are the only two left to depend on each other, they still have to live on.

There are a lot of people in the downtown area. In the new year, everyone will bring their families out to buy things. In the early years, the logistics industry was not as developed as it is now. Everything depends on the express network. At that time, buying clothes, food and books had to be done one by one. Take a walk around and see, there are crowds of people to join in the fun, open your eyes and enliven the atmosphere!This is how the taste of the year comes!

Yu Min dragged Gu Chen around in the shopping mall. When a child reaches puberty, he always needs a few more good-looking clothes. Gu Chen is also getting taller now, and he can't wear earlier clothes at all.The father and father seemed to have tried and tried and finally bought some satisfactory ones, but they made Gu Chen tired enough!In the future, I will never come to the mall again!

After trying on the clothes, Gu Chen couldn't wait to run to the largest bookstore in the city, and looked around the shelves of books. At this moment, he would rather visit the past one by one than read the books. It's like admiring antiques. Satisfying.Although it's a little disloyal to leave Uncle Min alone to buy vegetables and fruits, but he doesn't have a chance to come here, so why don't you take a good look at it now.

"Since when have you liked reading ancient poetry? It's still the sour Song Ci!" An elegant female voice said.

"Just take a look, do you have any better recommendations?" A faint male voice.

Gu Chen's hand holding the book stopped suddenly, this boy's voice is so familiar!He walked softly towards the bookshelf over there.

"The Book of Songs is pretty good!"

"Why don't you say "Chu Ci"?"

"Since you want to read it, the most classic one is always good!"

Gu Chen quietly turned half of his body to look, shit!It really is him!Lu Chuxiu and a girl were discussing with some books.He was startled and quickly turned to another bookshelf, alas, how could he be seen everywhere?Huh?It seems that he has never seen him with a girl!Depend on!I think what are these for!Gu Chen shook his head!Continue to read your own book.

"Gu Chen!" The familiar voice came, and the book in Gu Chen's hand almost dropped!

He turned around, there was no expression on the man's face, not even a little bit of surprise, Gu Chen really felt like hell, obviously he was three bookshelves away, how could he still be seen.

"What a coincidence!" he said to him with a slight smile.

"Hey! This is the first time I see you saying hello to others! Who is this?" The girl in front of Lu Chuxiu asked with interest.

Gu Chen was embarrassed, but Lu Chuxiu said in a natural way: "My classmate, Gu Chen."

"Oh, hello! My name is Li Hua." The girl introduced herself generously.

"You... hello." Gu Chen said a little restrained.

"It's so cute!" Xu Hua said with a smile looking at his flushed face.

"Go to pay the bill." Lu Chuxiu ignored Li Hua's Yingying smile and walked out without saying a word.

Xu Hua waved at Gu Chen and hurried out, muttering as he walked, "Why are you in a hurry? You didn't want to come.

·······"

Gu Chen watched the two people disappear at the door with shame, shrugged and continued to read his book.After turning around twice, he reckoned that Uncle Min's time was almost up and left.

"Gu Chen." Before walking too far, he was suddenly frightened by a call from behind.Lu Chuxiu always likes to call him by his first name and surname seriously, coupled with his emotionless voice, sometimes Gu Chen really feels like a soul-locking black and white impermanence.

He turned to stare at him and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

After hearing this, the boy frowned expressionlessly and said: "You can reconsider the suggestion that day. I don't like to force others, but I don't want to give up some valuable people." After a pause, he continued: "Li Hua is My uncle's daughter."

"..."

Gu Chen saw that he didn't have anything in hand, so he thought that the book should be bought for that girl, alas, he thought he also liked ancient poetry.And if this person answers the wrong question, who she is has nothing to do with me, okay?Gu Chen saw that he probably had nothing to say, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm going first."

"Xiaochen! Xiaochen!" Another call after not walking far!Gu Chen looked across the road, and Yu Min was waving at him with a big bag of things!Gu Chen hurried over.

"Have you finished shopping?" He brought more than half of the things in Yu Min's hand.

"Isn't this classmate Lu, are you coming out alone?" Yu Min passed Gu Chen and greeted Lu Chuxiu directly!

Gu Chen wondered when this person followed him!

Lu Chuxiu was also very good at reading things, he walked up and quietly moved the things Yu Min was holding to his hands.Along the way, the two of them walked and chatted and completely forgot about Gu Chen, and Lu Chuxiu didn't ask to leave until before getting on the bus, but Gu Chen reminded, who knew that the two of them were talking about being inseparable, just like that. Get on the bus!

Gu Chen thought bitterly, you are so enthusiastic in the school!
