The next day, early in the morning.

In the bedroom,

Gu Xiaoying turned over and pressed the quilt, lying on the bed, sleepy-eyed, and looked like she hadn't woken up.

“...... Brother Lian, sleep with the slave family for a while. ”

With sleepiness in her voice, Gu Xiaoying barely supported her head, looked at Lian Ge, who had already gotten up by the bed, and yawned as she spoke.

“...... Sleep a little longer, and I'll go down for a walk. ”

Lian Ge turned around, looked at Gu Xiaoying with a slight smile, and answered softly.

“...... Okay, then you are not allowed to go far, you said that you will leave in the afternoon. Gu Xiaoying was sleepy-eyed and yawned again.

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge turned around with Gu Xiaoying in his arms, covered the quilt, and stepped out of the bedroom.

......

"Click. ”

Gently close the door, and the slightly noisy sound in the kitchen can be heard clearly.

"Zizi ......"

In the kitchen, Gu's mother was busy frying eggs, and when she heard the movement in the living room, she came out and took a look.

“...... Xiaoge, why didn't you sleep so early today?"

"Wake up early and get ready to go out for a walk. Lian Ge stepped into the living room and answered.

"It's good to get up early and breathe in the fresh air, Xiaoying, are you still asleep?" Gu's mother spoke, walked into the kitchen again, and shoveled the fried eggs into the plate,

"Let her rest a little longer. Lian Ge replied with a slight smile.

“...... Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoying!Everyone else is up, you are still lying on the bed, how adult......" Gu's mother shouted into the bedroom,

"Mom......" Through the bedroom door, Gu Xiaoying's wail sounded.

Gu's mother also screamed, and then didn't call again.

Lian Ge smiled, gestured to Gu Hanguo, who was sitting on the sofa and seemed to be studying the case, and then walked towards the outside of the living room.

“...... Xiaoge, come back early. If you eat noodles in the morning, you and Xiaoying will leave them in the pot, and the noodles will melt after a long time. ”

Answering Gu's mother's voice behind him, Lian Ge stepped out of the living room and took the door with his hand.

......

After a while, Lian Ge paused slightly at the entrance of the downstairs stairs, and glanced at the slightly quiet community.

Maybe it's a holiday, and it's a little early at the moment, there are few people on the roads in the community, and there are only a few people who feel less, the old people who get up early for a walk and the young people who still need to go to work and are in a hurry.

Looking up slightly, the weather was not very clear, but rather a little gloomy, and the heavy dark clouds and the wind that swept the fallen leaves on the ground seemed to indicate that a heavy rain was coming.

“...... Eh, Mr. Lian, it's really fate. Mr. Lian, you get up early and exercise in the morning. ”

At the same time as Lian Ge paused, a figure ran and walked, from far to near, and when he passed in front of Lian Ge, he slowed down, it was He Zhijian.

Retracting his gaze and glancing at He Zhijian, Lian Ge smiled and nodded,

"Sort of, come out for a walk. ”

As he spoke, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards the front, and He Zhijian also slowed down and walked beside Lian Ge.

"It's good to take a walk, move your muscles and bones, and breathe in the fresh air. ”

He Zhijian spoke, and as he spoke, he also glanced at the time on his wrist watch.

Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at He Zhijian,

"Mr. He, in fact, I have a question that I would like to ask. ”

"Mr. Lian, just ask. He Zhijian put down the hand with the watch and looked at Lian Geying with a smile.

"Mr. He, have you always been like this?" Lian Ge retracted his gaze and asked in a calm tone as he walked along the road in the community without hurrying,

"Mr. Lian, do you mean this?" He Zhijian smiled and shook the watch on his wrist,

Immediately after, his face gradually disappeared, and his gaze moved up slightly, as if he was caught in a memory,

"Actually, no, when I was young, I was like most people, I felt that life was long, and I still had time in my life, and I squandered it. ”

While walking, He Zhijian said,

“...... After graduating from university, I stayed in the capital and found a job that matched my major and I was able to do it. After removing the most basic expenses, I can send a little bit back to my parents. Although it wasn't easy, I also felt that I was having a hard time, or a bad life, until ......"

Speaking of this, He Zhijian showed a smile on his face, as if he had thought of some beautiful things,

"Until I met my little mother, she was a person who cherished time and was also a very punctual person. If we had made an appointment to go to the cinema at ten o'clock, she would have been in my sight before ten o'clock. She always told me that time is important. This watch was a gift she gave me when we were in love. ”

As he spoke, He Zhijian raised the watch on his wrist again and wiped it gently,

“...... At that time, although I understood what she meant, it was far from profound......"

While talking, on the road in the community, either a hurried person swept past the two people, or two people swept past the hobbling old man.

“...... My hometown is in a mountain village in Hanoi province, and my parents are farmers. Although the child's mother is not from a prominent family, she is also a capital household and a working family. It may seem like a big difference, but in fact there is a world of difference.

When facing her, I should have low self-esteem. ”

He Zhijian said with a smile,

“...... When I met her, she was twenty-two and I was twenty-three. She was twenty-three years old when she fell in love...... Her parents want her to get married before the age of twenty-eight, and at most when she is twenty-seven years old, they will arrange for her to go on a blind date.

Her parents' requirements are actually not high, they just need this suitable person, who can have a house in the capital and a job with a stable income.

I had less than four years left to fall in love with her. It was the first countdown in my life. ”

“...... The second month after I got the news, I quit my job from the company and started to make the most of every minute of my next four years, accomplishing the goals that needed to be accomplished at each stage, making money while also spending a certain amount of time to maintain my relationship with her.

In those four years, I lived a very fulfilling life, and every hour of every day was a countdown to me.

I accomplished my goal at that stage before the four-year countdown went to zero.

When I stepped through her door, her parents were very happy with me and we got married......

Speaking of this, He Zhijian paused slightly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared,

“...... Then the second countdown in my life, she suffered from breast cancer, and after several surgeries, her condition deteriorated, and she entered an advanced stage, losing the possibility of surgery.

Doctors said she had less than two months left, the last of which she could spend more time in a coma.

...... In the last two months, I didn't dare to waste anything, just like I used to, and I was careful to complete what I needed to do in my life with her.

For two months, the countdown went to zero, and I spent my life with her. ”

...... As he spoke, He Zhijian fell silent again,

Raising the watch on his wrist again, after looking at it, He Zhijian turned his gaze to look at Lian Ge,

"Mr. Lian, it's going to rain, and time is running out, so I'll leave first. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge raised his head slightly, looked at the dark clouds above his head, and nodded at He Zhijian.

Then, He Zhijian took a step forward and continued to run towards the front.

......

Seeing He Zhijian walk away, Lian Ge paused slightly, turned around, and walked along the road he came from without hurry.

When Lian Ge re-entered the entrance of the building,

Behind him, a torrent of rain poured down.
