Chapter 32: Flowers
In the bedroom of the Jiang family and his wife, Wei Yun asked Shi Rujin to sit on the edge of the bed, walked to the wardrobe by himself, reached out to open the door, and took out a round box from inside.
The round box is exquisitely made, painted with red lacquer and gold, and the lid is a finely painted snow lotus, and the lines are tactful and vivid, but after some years, the luster on the box has dimmed.
"Your uncle was discharged from the hospital, and I was idle, thinking that there were a few boxes under the bed, and I hadn't sorted them out for a long time, so I took them all out, and then ...... I found this," Wei Yun said, handing the round box to Shi Rujin with both hands: "This is your father's relic, I should have handed it over to you a long time ago." ”
Shi Rujin's expression became solemn, took the round box, and looked at it fixedly for a long time.
If he hadn't seen the real thing, Shi Rujin would have forgotten that this round box was Shi Yumu's most beloved, and no matter where he went, he would never forget to bring it...... Until the last moment of life.
"My dad said that this box is his wife...... When my mother married him, a living Buddha in Tibet specially gave her a wedding gift. Shi Rujin raised his head and said to Wei Yun.
Wei Yun nodded and said, "Open it and take a look!"
Shi Rujin's hand rubbed on the round box for a while before finally lifting the lid.
In the round box, there were several thick but worn diaries, and the top was ...... It is a photograph that is also old.
After staring at it for a long time, Shi Rujin carefully picked up the photo.
In the photo is a pair of young people in their prime, the two are snuggled together, smiling, their eyes are full of vitality and hope, and on the back of the group photo, a line of words is written - "We are married".
"When Lao Shi was young, he was really handsome. Wei Yun sat next to Shi Rujin, and then looked down at Shi Rujin's face: "You really look like your mother!"
Shi Rujin looked at Wei Yun, and some words came to his lips, but he hesitated and took them back.
"Your parents are the legends of our hospital, I heard that they are medical school classmates, after graduation, they went to support the medical construction in Tibetan areas, and they were transferred back to Rongcheng after a few years, but not long after, they went to the remote mountainous areas together to help build a hospital there, so the two of them had a child very late, and when your mother gave birth to you, it seemed that they were in their 30s. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Yun took the photo in his hand again, looked at it very seriously for a long time, and said: "The two of them are really a perfect match, I still remember, once a group of friends got together, someone mentioned your mother, and your father's face was simply shining, but when the song was over, everyone left, but I saw him slumped in his seat." ”
Shi Rujin sighed: "They love each other very much. ”
"Actually, although your mother passed away at a very young age, she is still happy in this life, there is a man who loves her so much that she will not swerving until death!" Wei Yun glanced out of the bedroom door as she said this.
"Auntie, when you were with my dad, didn't you mind, did he miss his ex-wife all the time?" Shi Rujin couldn't help but ask.
"How can I say it," Wei Yun raised his head and thought for a while: "The combination between me and Lao Shi is out of sympathy, in my mind, your father is more like a respectable teacher, as if ...... There's really no jealousy. ”
"You're generous. Shi Rujin admired the authenticity.
"Don't look at our era compared to now, but I also have idols," Wei Yun handed the photo back to Shi Rujin, and said: "I heard the report on the deeds of the martyrs of Taiping, when your mother died, you were only five or six years old, and when you were in a car accident on the road, your mother hugged you tightly and saved her daughter with her own life." ”
Shi Rujin lowered her head and put the photo back in the box.
Wei Yun fell into memories at this moment: "It seems that a few days after the accident, your father went to a particularly remote mountain village, one day in the middle of the night, only your mother and daughter were at home, your mother received a call, saying that there was a pregnant woman at the foot of the mountain who had a difficult birth, and your mother was in a hurry to save people, and she didn't worry that you were alone at home, so she brought you too, do you still have memories?"
Shi Rujin looked at Wei Yun and shook his head.
And Wei Yun's eyes turned a little red: "I don't remember, when I heard this part of your mother's sacrifice, everyone present cried, our generation, there are still people who regard their ideals as extremely lofty, your mother and your father are like this, they left behind the superior life in the city, and only thought about applying what they have learned to help those who are suffering from illness, maybe you can't understand it now." ”
"Mom and Dad...... They are all heroes!" Shi Rujin muttered, his eyes looking out the window.
"Oh, I shouldn't have said this!" Wei Yun held Shi Rujin's hand with an apologetic expression.
Shi Rujin suddenly found that tears fell from the corners of her eyes unconsciously, and she didn't understand why she was crying, so she quickly wiped her hand and said, "It's okay, many years have passed." ”
After sighing, Wei Yun reached out and touched Shi Rujin's hair.
Saying goodbye to the Jiang family and his wife, Shi Rujin went downstairs, opened the car door, put the round box on the passenger seat first, and then got into the car from the other side.
was about to drive, but Shi Rujin stopped again and turned his head to look at the box.
Shi Rujin still remembers that picture, late at night, Shi Yumu sat under the lamp, holding a diary taken out of the round box, pasted it in front of his eyes and read it carefully, and when he read it, he either cried or laughed.
Turning on the lamp on his head, Shi Rujin hugged the round box and opened the lid.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Rujin picked up the top diary.
Yu Ping, Shi Yumu's first wife, and Shi Rujin's biological mother in everyone's knowledge, such an outstanding woman who was praised and honored after her death, no one knew that Shi Rujin was with her.
"Today is the anniversary of me and Yu Mu Ai Tibet, I have finally become his wife, at the moment my bridegroom is lying in bed, he is a little too drunk, he is drowsy, this man, you don't know how happy he is today, no, he has always been an optimist, it seems that for him, the whole world is full of joy......
Seeing her laugh, I also want to laugh, because I can accompany the person I love and realize the ideal of life, I also feel that the world is full of joy, and I am sure that in the future, our children will always love to laugh like his father. ”
"My father wrote to me from the United States again, urging me not to ask for hardship here, and to leave for the United States as soon as possible, he had already contacted a good school for me, I knew that my father loved me, but I could not tolerate it, my favorite father used such disdainful words to mock Yu Mu, ridiculed him for reading books for so many years, but went to become a barefoot doctor......
But I believe in the choice of the pastor, he said, I don't care about fame, I don't care about the world's recognition, people should be brave to pursue their own ideals when they live, the ideal of the pastor is to use what they have learned to save the life and help the wounded, so that the sickness is far away from all people, regardless of his wealth or poverty, others will think he is ridiculous, such as my father, the ideal of the pastor, but also my ideal. ”
"I rejected my father, as Yu Mu's wife, I must stand firmly by his side, even if I am like Yu Mu, being treated as a fool, in fact, it is nothing, because some people die and cannot understand how the ideal has an extraordinary meaning for our short life!"
Shi Rujin turned the pages carefully, as if walking into Yu Ping's spiritual world, indulging in the feelings between the lines.
The passenger seat door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Shi Rujin, who heard the movement, was startled, and suddenly looked up, and someone had already bent down and sat in.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Shi Rujin asked, "Why are you here?"
"Send Shi Chen!" Huo Wei smiled, stretched out his head and looked at the diary in Shi Rujin's hand: "What do you see?"
On the other side of the window, there was a knocking sound.
Shi Rujin opened the car window and asked, "Huo Wei sent you back?"
"Not really. Shi Chen squeezed his eyes at Shi Rujin: "Under my bitter persuasion, Brother Wei said that he forgave you for the time being!"
Shi Rujin turned his head and looked at Huo Wei.
Huo Wei snatched the diary and looked down.
"Let's go up quickly. Shi Rujin stretched out his hand and patted Shi Chenchen's arm: "There are only a few days left, if you have the kung fu to play go-kart, you can't go home to accompany your mother and them, and when you really leave here and can't see them, you will know how stupid it is to soak in the car hall every day!"
"That'...... I'm going to play once a week, can I succeed?" Shi Chenchen blinked his eyes, and mentioned the conditions to Shi Rujin.
"Okay, once a week, you said it yourself. Shi Rujin gave in happily, but couldn't help but remind again: "Play and play, you must be careful, especially if you can't learn from Huo Wei, you don't wear a seat belt when driving." ”
"I don't know how to pretend to understand at first glance, I drive a professional two-stroke car, and wearing a seat belt is called looking for death, and something really happened when I turned around, I was tied up by a seat belt, how to escape?" Huo Wei came to the side.
Shi Chen deliberately asked outside the window: "Who am I listening to?"
"What do you think?" Shi Rujin elongated.
"Don't talk about it, Mom is looking at me from the balcony!" Shi Chenchen raised his head and beckoned, and then said to the car very worriedly: "I'm going up, you guys are good!"
Looking at Shi Yanchen trotting into the building, Shi Rujin turned his head and asked Huo Wei next to him: "Don't you go back to your own car?"
From the rearview mirror just now, Shi Rujin had already seen that Huo Wei's car was behind.
"Whose diary is there, right?" asked Huo Wei without raising his head.
"It's me...... Mother. Shi Rujin replied and stretched out his hand towards Huo Wei.
"Your mom loves you. Huo Wei returned the diary to Shi Rujin: "I just saw a sentence, 'My good baby is the most beautiful girl in the world.'" ’”
Shi Rujin said "um" and urged: "You still don't get out of the car, I have to go home and sleep." ”
Huo Wei didn't move, sat on the seat and looked at Shi Rujin steadily.
Shi Rujin put the diary into the round box, and seeing that Huo Wei refused to leave for the time being, he reached out and put the box in the back seat.
"In your eyes, I'm just a playboy who has lost his mind?" Huo Wei opened his mouth at this time.
