Gu Qing reborn

Before the Spring Festival, Gu Qing and Gu's mother went to the "Loving Family Orphanage".

When Shen Qing was still in the past, besides remitting money to the orphanage on a regular basis every month, because the Chinese restaurant was busy on weekdays, he could only go back to the orphanage during important festivals, and the Spring Festival was naturally included.Now that he is Gu Qing, he can't spend New Year's Eve in the orphanage, but he still wants to go back, but to his mother, he doesn't know how to explain it, so he bit the bullet and squeaked to express his meaning, Unexpectedly, Gu's mother was very supportive and asked him what gift he planned to buy.Gu Qing said he didn't think about it, it was probably candy and stationery, Gu's mother thought about it, and suggested that he prepare some more gloves.

In addition to state subsidies and fixed sponsorships, the orphanage's daily expenses are also a small part of temporary funding, such as individuals like Gu Qing who come to visit children during holidays.Gu Qing called the dean's office and set a time.

Since Qin Jiabao appeared last time, Mama Gu is more fond of children now.A man in his forties and a group of children were playing the game of eagle and chicken, and they were so happy, as if they had gone back in time.Gu Qing stood in front of the stove in the kitchen and was earnestly cooking. Occasionally looking at the white grass outside the window, there were crisp and melodious laughter in his ears.

Lunch in the orphanage is shredded green pepper and potato, eggplant with minced meat, and egg and tomato soup.Gu Qing knew in his heart that this was all due to the blessing of the Chinese New Year. If it were on weekdays, it would be rare to have two dishes and one soup like today.Although the material is limited, but Gu Qing's craftsmanship is displayed there, the children eat very satisfied, with satisfied and happy smiles on their faces.

Dean Li Tong, Gu Qing and two other teachers sat alone at a table. Gu's mother was entangled by the children and couldn't get away, and she was also happy to sit in a group with the children.

Not seeing each other for half a year, the dean seems to have experienced more vicissitudes, the white hair on the temples is densely packed, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyebrows are becoming more and more obvious. Gu Qing feels uncomfortable when he looks at it. .

Li Tong raised his head and stared at Gu Qing blankly, as if he realized that he was being rude to the guests, so he quickly looked away and smiled, "I'm sorry, it's because you are too much like a person, please don't mind."

With a slight movement of his hand, a trace of surprise slipped across Gu Qing's face.

"What kind of person is he?"

The dean looked up, took a sip of tea, and spoke after a while, "He is a child in our yard, a few years older than you, a chef, and the taste of your dishes is very similar to his. He is, A filial boy."

Gu Qing's eyes were wet and red, and he was buried in the rice in the bowl. The slightly long hair on his forehead well covered his eye sockets, concealing his guilt and sentimentality at the moment.

When the dean recalled Shen Qing's low hoarse voice mixed with beautiful admiration and sadness mixed with a trace of sobs, Gu Qing would never forget it in the days to come.

Gu Qing never thought that her mother had relatives.

It's no wonder he thought so. Since he was born again, he hasn't heard his mother mention his relatives, let alone see anyone she called.But just two days before the Spring Festival, Gu Qing received a long-distance phone call from home. The other party spoke a dialect with a strong accent, but the syllables were close to Mandarin, so Gu Qing could barely understand it.

"Mom, call."

Gu Qing yelled to the bedroom, put down the receiver, picked up the broom and cleaned it carefully.For the custom of Chinese New Year, sweeping the dust is still indispensable.

"Hey...brother...well, it's pretty good... money? How much...in a few days, I'm...in a hurry?...then I'll..."

Gu's mother also spoke a dialect, and Gu Qing struggled to hear it intermittently, but she probably understood that it should be to press for money.

"Azi, accompany Mom to the bank tomorrow."

At that time, very few girls in the countryside were able to read. Mama Gu didn't continue her studies until she was in junior high school. Gu Qing's.She found passbooks, paper and pens from the room, spread them out on the wooden table, and calculated carefully.

"Okay. Mom, who was that just now?"

Gu's mother was taken aback, and replied: "It's Mom's big brother, you should call me uncle."

"Oh, Mom, are there any relatives in our hometown?"

Gu Qing also only heard his mother mention his hometown when steaming rice cakes last time, and vaguely remembered that it was in S province, but he never thought about his relatives.

"Well, there are also distant relatives, but if you talk about relatives, then only your uncle."

Mother didn't seem to want to talk about relatives, Gu Qing could hear it, so she stopped mentioning it and just changed the question, "Did uncle call to borrow money?"

"No, our family owes the debt." Mother Gu didn't plan to talk any more, she lowered her head and fiddled with her account books.

Gu Qing has never seen her mother like this before, she said she was impatient, but more like avoiding, she was puzzled, but she also felt that it was not the time to ask, so she could only swallow the question about her father stuck in her throat.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing went to the bank with his mother and remitted [-] yuan, which made the family even more struggling.

There is not much money, but this year is still going to be good.

On New Year's Eve, Gu Qing and his mother were busy in the kitchen all afternoon.Both of them are masters of cooking. Although there is no abalone wing belly in one table, it is also exquisite. Most importantly, the taste is definitely not inferior to that of a big restaurant.

A table of twelve dishes, that is, conforming to the custom and looking for auspiciousness, it is unrealistic for people to eat them all.Now Gu Qing really thought of thanking Qin Liyang for the refrigerator.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Gu's mother took out a bright red paper bag from the big pocket of the cotton-padded jacket and handed it to Gu Qing. The latter looked embarrassed. He was an adult, so he wanted to refuse the New Year's money.

"It's a custom in my hometown. Mom won't give it to you when you get married."

Having said that, Gu Qing could only take over. Thinking of getting married, he felt a little blocked. He was afraid that he would really have to take the New Year's money for the rest of his life; Achieved.

"Mom, I will be filial to you for the rest of my life, for sure!"

Gu Qing tightly grasped his mother's hands, as many children often say to their parents.But only Gu Qing knows that this is an oath!

The familiar voice of the host came from the TV, and another year's Spring Festival Gala began.

Gu Qing is actually not very interested in singing and dancing performances, but he has developed a habit in his bones. He always feels that it is necessary for the family to watch the Spring Festival Gala after the New Year’s Eve dinner, so he took melon seeds and fruits and sat on the sofa with his mother to watch. When encountering a good-looking sketch cross talk, I will also exchange and comment with my mother.

The mobile phone vibrated one after another, all of which were text messages of New Year greetings.Gu Qing was happy in his heart. He didn't have many friends before, and he rarely received messages like this kind of holiday blessings, but now, there are at least dozens of them.Gu Qing watched it with joy and anticipation, but after the same repetitive content, the original joy gradually faded.Even so, Gu Qing seriously replied to each one, and when all were sent, his fingers felt a little tingling, and when he looked up, his favorite sketch actor was playing on the TV, so he quickly put the phone aside, Look carefully.

Gu Qing was quite disappointed with this skit, there were no outstanding highlights, and the jokes were light.

The mobile phone vibrated at the right time, Gu Qing picked it up, and the screen displayed a name that surprised him——Qin Liyang.In my impression, the man never sent me a text message, but always called me directly.

Gu Qing trembled and clicked on the read button, the content of the text message couldn't be simpler: 【Why don't you reply?are you angry? ] Gu Qing felt baffled, and quickly checked other text messages, and found that there were some that he missed, so he quickly clicked on: [Happy New Year, wife! 】Gu Qing was a little dumbfounded, he wanted to be angry because of the word "wife", but he couldn't get angry, and it was also because of the word "wife", he was indeed sweet in his heart, he was unwilling and would not deny it.It's just that he felt that he was extremely contradictory, and he didn't know how to reply while holding the phone for a long time.

In such a trance, Gu's mother also saw that her son was sleepy, so she sent him back to the room to sleep.

Gu Qing was really sleepy, and didn't know how he got back to the room. When he was lying in the quilt, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.Gu Qing opened the cover in a panic and pressed the green button.

"Gu Qing?"

In the ear is the male voice that Gu Qing is very familiar with, even after the interference of electromagnetic waves, it is still very clear.

"Ah."

"Did you get my text message?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you reply?"

There was a hint of urgency in the other party's voice, which made Gu Qing not know how to answer, yes, if he really wanted to reply, what could he say, maybe there was only one sentence: "Happy New Year!"

Qin Liyang didn't pursue such a bull-headed answer, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from his mobile phone, he asked, "Where are you setting off fireworks?"

Hearing his question, Gu Qing got out of bed, looked up at the bright and gorgeous window, nodded, "Yeah."

"You've slept?"

"No, just lay down."

Feeling clammy and cold, Gu Qing crawled back into bed and wrapped the quilt tightly.

"Is the air conditioner on?"

Gu Qing shook his head, "No."

"Why don't you turn it on? You are cold, how can you sleep warm without turning on the air conditioner?"

Hearing the other party's slightly accusatory voice, Gu Qing felt warm, "Waste of electricity."

Qian Yanzi!

Qin Liyang thought so, his kindness was ruined, it seems that he will have to pay the charging fee another day.

"Are you sleepy?"

After a busy day, Gu Qing was indeed tired, so he yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said vaguely, "It's okay."

"Go to bed early, don't be tired, turn on the air conditioner, I want to hear the sound."

Boss Qin gave such an order.

Gu Qing was in a dilemma, but obediently pressed the remote control, thinking that he would turn it off after hanging up the phone.

Qin Liyang also felt relieved when he heard the heavy panting of the air conditioner coming from the phone.

The warm air from the air conditioner gradually enveloped the entire room, Gu Qing's consciousness gradually became chaotic, and he kept blinking his weak eyelids.

"Honey, happy new year!"

"Well, my husband, happy new year!"

Gu Qing answered vaguely.

Qin Liyang didn't expect that Gu Qing would give a response, but what he didn't expect was that he heard the unexpected answer, secretly happy in his heart, and took the opportunity to step up his offensive: "Honey, I love you!"

Only this time, there was no response from the phone, only the sound of shallow breathing.

Qin Liyang sighed, feeling sorry.But there is also something to be thankful for, he recorded the sound, and he is not afraid of Gu Qing's repentance in the future.

(Oh well, the author can’t even say anything, sweet, cover your mouth and snicker...)
