seven wonderful flowers

It was Lao Zhao's son who drove us back from the farmhouse.And this time the separation really became a farewell. When I called Lao Zhao for the last time, as soon as I connected, I said loudly: "Hello~~~" I dragged my voice for a long time, I thought it was Lao Zhao calling: "Old Zhao, are you okay?" Because after we separated, we often contacted by phone.This time there was no contact for more than two weeks.

"It's me, sir." The voice of Lao Zhao's eldest son, "My father, he" I knew, but I didn't hear a word he said later.My phone dropped and I sat on the floor. My wife ran out of the kitchen in fright, crying loudly: "Old X, what's the matter with you? Old X. Old..." I could hear my wife anxiously calling me voice, but just couldn't open his mouth to agree.My wife picked up my cell phone and was answering.I know it all, I know it in my heart.Afterwards, my wife told me, "Old Zhao passed away a day ago. His son fainted when he heard the news. He was very anxious. He said he would come to see you when he was free. Please take care!"

Lao Zhao really left. I seldom went out during that time, and I really felt that Lao Zhao was around me. Sometimes I walked in the community and sat in the pavilion, feeling that Lao Zhao was sitting opposite me.My wife knew about the death of a good old friend of mine, and knew nothing else, but knew that I was very sad.I called Lao Li, and Lao Li told Lao Shi. During that time, Lao Shi came the most, and Lao Li also came several times.Once, when they were all there, in the pavilion of the community, Lao Zhao's eldest son called from the number Lao Zhao had used.I was very familiar with it, so I answered right away: "Old Zhao. How are you?" There was no sound on the phone for a long time, and after a while, "Master, it's me, boss. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Oh"

"Master, are you okay?"

"Oh"

"My dad asked me to tell you, you must remember what he said to you, and tell you again and again, you must remember."

I tried to remember, what words?The phone was still in the middle of a call, so I put the phone on the stone table in the booth, and walked out of the booth with my hands behind my back, muttering: "What did he say?" Lao Shi picked up the phone and talked to the other side, and then He followed out with Lao Li.I walked to the stone bench where we used to sit together when Lao Zhao was working as a security guard here and often came to the community to see me. I cleared my mind, and saw Lao Shi and Lao Li's anxious faces, and I was very sorry.Lao Shi and Lao Li comforted me and told me not to be sad.Said that Lao Zhao didn't want me to do this either.I remembered what Lao Zhao said: "Live a good life for me, and live for me when I haven't lived enough time. You must always remember me." I adjusted my mood and rushed to Lao Shi and Lao Li Qiang. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. I'll be fine, don't worry, old brother."

In the days that followed, I faced life positively. I insisted on going to the park for morning exercises every morning, playing table tennis in the elderly activities in the morning, going out for a walk after lunch break in the afternoon, and taking a walk after dinner.Slowly, I came out of the grief of Lao Zhao's departure.But sometimes I really feel that Lao Zhao is beside me, and sometimes when I walk, I feel that Lao Zhao is calling me, and when I look back, there is nothing, and I can't help but look around.

During this period of time, Lao Shi was also busy with the construction work of the house, so he rarely came to see me, and I did not seek him either.Occasionally I think of Lao Shi, but more often I think of Lao Zhao.Lao Zhao really loves and tolerates me as the lover of his life, but I didn't have it back then, not even the true love of a good friend.I always keep in my heart what I owe others.Sometimes I sit quietly on the sofa or lie on the bed alone, touching the piece of jade that Lao Zhao gave me, I really feel like I am touching Lao Zhao’s face, Lao Zhao is so gentle and calm looking at me .Squinting slightly, he looked at me with a smile.Sometimes I can't help but bow my head and kiss that piece of jade.Once I let my wife see it, and she smiled and said, "I see you like that piece of jade so much!" She doesn't understand the story, and she can't let her understand it.As long as I know it's good!The loss and sadness in my heart cannot be shared with anyone, maybe it is the result of the true relationship between me and Lao Zhao.After that, I don't want to be emotional for anyone anymore. I can't afford to be hurt or hurt when I'm old.During the time when Lao Zhao left, I lost sixteen catties. My family thought I was sick, so they dragged me to the hospital for a physical examination. Fortunately, I was not sick.

At noon that day, Lao Shi called me and asked me if I was free today. He wanted to talk to me about something.I asked him what was the matter, and he said that the house had been built, and there were some formalities related to the contract.

In the afternoon, shortly after I woke up from my lunch break, he rang my doorbell.He knew me well and knew that I would take a break in the afternoon, so he chose to come after I got up.At that time, my wife also went out, and I was alone at home.

"Brother, you look much better recently." Lao Shi said with a smile

"Hey, I've made you worry about it. Let's have dinner here tonight. I'll call Lao Li and the others over." I thought they could still visit me often during my saddest time, care about me, and give me great support. Encouragement and support, I have always wanted to gather a few of their old friends to sit together and express my gratitude.

"Besides, I have something to tell you." Lao Shi said: "The house is completed, and the later stage is under construction. According to the contract, I have installed the anti-theft door for you. Here is the key. In case you need to do this again, I did everything together when we installed it. If you are selling it, you should know that this door is a good door, so don’t sell it as an ordinary door. "

"That's so embarrassing, how can this work. How much is the door, I will make up for you." I said with some embarrassment. In fact, I know that what Lao Shi lacks is not money. This is Lao Shi's principle of doing things. Be sincere to your friends, and think of your friends when you do things for them.

"It's nothing, you know, what is the thing I lack the most. What is the most lacking?" Lao Shi said with a smile: "Also, there are two sets that I have simply decorated according to my liking. , but if you feel unsatisfactory, you can change it, because when I decorated the design, I considered that you might not like that style, so the decoration is simple. If you don’t want to decorate, you can just live in it.”

"Then what are you doing? You're going to lose money." I stood up anxiously. "That won't work, why don't you sell the house, I don't want it, or I'll give you the money for the decoration."

"I see you are anxious, but your eagerness is quite interesting, I like it." Old Shi laughed and said, "You deserve this money. Didn't I say I would give you shares?"
