When the car arrived at the North Fourth Ring Road of the provincial capital, Li Rui turned around and asked Huang Xinghua: "Huang Lao, let's find a place to live in the north of Jingnan City, which is also close to Beigangzi Cemetery." Huang Xinghua opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Rui asked again: "What grade of house do you live in? Is it a hotel or a guesthouse?" Huang Xinghua said: "Hotel, a hotel above four stars." Li Rui was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this patriotic old overseas Chinese to be so particular about accommodation, but this was also in line with his status, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Lao Zhou has been working in the small team of the municipal party committee and municipal government for some years, and he used to accompany the leaders to the province, and he is very familiar with the hotels in the provincial capital, and soon found a four-star hotel on the edge of the North Third Ring Road. When checking in, Huang Xinghua instructed the bodyguards to come forward and pay for Li Rui, Lao Zhou and the medical team to open a room.

Li Rui ran around for a day, he was already tired, after checking in, he washed and bathed, and wanted to go to bed, but at this time, Huang Lao's bodyguard came to call him, it turned out that Huang Lao was depressed and couldn't sleep, so he wanted Li Rui to chat with him and relieve his depression. Li Rui naturally could only agree, and dragged his almost collapsed body to Huang Xinghua's room next door.

Huang Xinghua was leaning on the head of the bed, reading the book "The Wind and Rain is Coming" written by Su Yun with a solemn face, and was very happy to see him coming, patted the side of the bed, and said, "Xiao Li, come and sit." Li Rui walked over and sat down, looked at the book in his hand, and said, "Are you still reading the book of Old Man Su Yun?" Huang Xinghua put the book next to his pillow, smiled bitterly at him, and asked: "Xiao Li, I left home at a young age, took refuge overseas, and worked hard for more than 70 years. I admire you very much, I like you very much, and I want to take you as a son, are you willing?"

One sentence directly slapped Li Rui, and he was wondering, why did Huang Lao suddenly describe the bumpy road in his life? Could it be that when he saw Su Yun writing a book and recalling the past, he also had the idea of writing a memoir? When he heard the end, he suddenly turned to himself, and what was even more terrifying was that this old man still wanted to accept himself as his godson, damn, this is too nonsense, right? Why didn't he come to think of this kind of thing?

Huang Xinghua saw that he was stupid and didn't speak, nor did he urge him, but just looked at him with anticipation.

Li Rui was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "It's still ...... Forget it, Huang Lao, we are old friends, I treat you as a friend, why do you want me to be a son? Do you want me to be a generation shorter than you?" Huang Xinghua saw that he actually refused, it was incredible, but he also laughed and said: "What? At your age, you are very shameless to be my son? Let me tell you, my grandchildren are older than you. Li Rui shook his head and muttered: "That's not good, we are friends, and we are friends, I don't want to call you dad in the future." ”

Huang Xinghua laughed, although the laughter was weak, but it was very sincere and natural, and it came from the heart when he heard it. Li Rui saw that he could make him laugh when he was so sad, and he felt a little complacent.

People are not afraid of grief, but when people are grieving, they are afraid that they will continue to grieve and never laugh, then this person will be finished.

After Huang Xinghua laughed, he frowned and thought about it, and said, "You don't want to be my son, but I really like you, ah...... Otherwise, let's bow down, don't you say that we are equals, that's right, I'll be an elder brother, you will be a brother, and we will be brothers with different surnames in the future. Li Rui was a little incomprehensible, and said, "Huang Lao, what do you mean by marrying me?" Huang Xinghua avoided this question with a smile, and said: "You can always accept it as a brother, right?" Li Rui saw that he didn't answer, and shook his head with a wry smile: "If you don't tell me why, I won't accept it." ”

Huang Xinghua was surprised and said: "If others hear that I want to bow to him, they must agree without thinking about it, why do you still ask so much? In short, I won't hurt you." Li Rui said with a smile: "I'm a more serious person, if you don't tell me the reason, I don't dare to accept it rashly." Huang Xinghua said: "You are a person who values love and righteousness, and you are a good friend, I admire you very much, so I bow to you, is this reason okay?" Li Rui thought for a while and said: "Actually, I didn't do anything, you don't have to be polite to me." Huang Xinghua said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and agree, otherwise I will be angry." ”

Li Rui heard that he even said this, so it was difficult to refuse again, so he had to nod and agree.

Huang Xinghua was very happy and said: "I am not in good health now, when I get better, we will go through a formal worship ceremony, but now we can be called brothers, you call me eldest brother, I call you brother." Li Rui sneered: "Okay big brother." ”

Huang Xinghua waved his hand to call the bodyguard, pointed at Li Rui and said, "Agen, from now on, he is my brother, and you have to listen to what he says." ”

The bodyguard nodded, looking at Li Rui with a respectful expression.

Huang Xinghua officially introduced Li Rui at this time: "Brother, this is Ah Gen, whose big name is Liang Gen, is the descendant of Wing Chun patriarch Ryazan, my most trusted bodyguard, and my relative. Just call him Agen. ”

Li Rui got up and handed it to Liang Gen and said, "Hello Brother Gen, please take care of me in the future." Liang Gen grinned and said, "You don't have to be polite to me, just call me Agen." ”

Li Rui sat back and talked to the newly recognized eldest brother Huang Xinghua: "Big brother, if you can't sleep, let me tell you about my love history, I feel that it is not too much different from the eldest brother you and the old man Su Yun." Huang Xinghua became interested in an instant, and said in an urgent tone: "Okay, you speak." ”

Li Rui told the love history of himself and Ding Yijing in junior high school, strictly speaking, the relationship between him and Ding Yijing in junior high school was not a romance, but his wishful thinking and unrequited love for Ding Yijing, Ding Yijing just regarded him as a playmate back then, so it can't be said to be a love history, but no one has to investigate this, and this history can be used to explain Huang Xinghua.

Huang Xinghua was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "The two of us are really destined, alas, no wonder they are brothers, even the love history of their youth is so similar, they all started from middle school, and they are all fruitless, our brothers are really connected by the same fate...... And then, did you go to her again?"

Li Rui said: "No, we didn't meet again until a party last year, and we were both married when we met again." ”

Huang Xinghua sighed incomparably, patted his hand and said: "It's really embarrassing, brother, you have been thinking about it for more than ten years, but in the end you didn't get anything, and it was almost exactly the same as my experience...... No, you are happier than me, at least your sweetheart is still alive, but I will never see Su Yun again......"

That night, the two brothers and young brothers talked for nearly two hours, each telling their love history, comforting each other, expressing each other's feelings. Later, Li Rui saw that it was too late, and forcibly terminated this heart-to-heart night talk, and then they rested peacefully. However, after this heart-to-heart exchange, Huang Xinghua's sad and depressed mood has been relieved by most of it, and the rest is no longer to worry about.

The next morning, the group got up early, had breakfast, and then rushed to Beigangzi Cemetery under the leadership of Li Rui. After arriving, the medical team stayed outside the park, Li Rui helped Huang Xinghua into the garden to worship Su Yun, and Liang Gen followed behind with the box of worship supplies.

As soon as he arrived at Su Yun's tomb, Huang Xinghua's legs and feet were unstable, and Li Rui needed to work very hard to hold him, and tears flowed down his eyes when he saw him. Li Rui understood that he was in love, and he did not persuade him. Over there, Liang Gen laid out the sacrifices one by one, and then got up to support the master together.

Huang Xinghua waved his hand at him, turned his head to Li Rui and said, "I want to say a few words to Su Yun." Li Rui said: "Okay, then I'll avoid it first and let Brother Gen stay and take care of you?" Huang Xinghua shook his head and said: "You don't need to keep people, I'll be fine." ”

Li Rui and Liang Gen glanced at each other, easily opened his body, and turned around and walked to the bottom of a green pine more than ten meters away.

"I can see that the reason why your leaders here are good to the old man is that he hopes to get his investment, with a very utilitarian mind, and you are good to the old man, you are really good, your mind is very clean, very pure, it is the best portrayal of the heart of a child, no wonder the old man will bow to you. You're really nice!"

After stopping, Liang Gen's eyes swept over the wound on the back of Li Rui's head, and he praised sincerely.

Li Rui was a little embarrassed by his praise, and sneered: "Huang Lao treats me as a friend, of course I want to treat him as a friend, but I didn't do anything for him, just do what I can, Brother Gen, you praise him falsely." Liang Gen smiled, looked at Huang Xinghua not far away, and sighed: "The old man is still very happy to come back this time, not only found the whereabouts of Miss Su Jia, but also made friends with such a good brother as you, I hope he can think about it, look forward, and stop being sad." Li Rui thought so, nodded again and again, and said, "If Old Man Su Yun has a spirit in the sky, he shouldn't want to see him so sad." ”

The two waited under the pine tree for half an hour, and then Liang Gen was surprised when he saw Huang Xinghua suddenly kneeling in front of Su Yun's tomb, and started to go over to help each other. Li Rui stopped him, shook his head at him, and signaled that he didn't need to be so excited at all. Liang Gen also quickly understood that this was Huang Xinghua kneeling to Su Yun to make amends, which was also his long-cherished wish for seventy years, even if he supported him in the past, he was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so he gave up.

After waiting for another ten minutes, seeing that Huang Xinghua sat up slowly and had no other movements, Li Rui pulled Liang Gen and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's over, let's go." ”
