Xu Qian would go back to Beijing every year before the Chinese New Year, in order to meet her eldest son Lu Yan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It's been ten years, and her love for her other son has never diminished because of the passage of time.
She once thought about taking Lu Yuan back, and Lu Zihao also said that she wanted to see her youngest son, but one year she took Lu Yuan to Beijing, and Lu Yuan knew that she wanted to see her father, but she didn't want to go out of the hotel.
Xu Qian had to go to see Lu Yan alone, and when she returned to the hotel, she found that Lu Yuan was lying in bed with a high fever, Xu Qian hurriedly sent the child to the hospital, and delayed in Beijing for a week before Lu Yuan's fever subsided.
After the fever subsided, Xu Qian took Lu Yuan back to Licheng, and found that Lu Yuan's memory seemed to have a problem, he forgot everything about his father and brother, and once took a photo of the family in a daze, and asked Xu Qian who the other two people were.
At that time, Xu Qian's life was very hard, she was alone with children, and she had to work hard in her career, so she couldn't take Lu Yuan to see a famous doctor, but she heard a neurologist from a local hospital say that Lu Yuan's situation was very complicated, and it was best not to give him any stimulation in case something unexpected happened.
Therefore, from then on, Xu Qian never took Lu Yuan back to Beijing, and sent him to his grandmother's house every year when the Chinese New Year was about to be.
And all the photos and items about the past in the house were all put away, helping Lu Yuan to seal the memories of the past.
Lu Zihao thought about seeing Lu Yuan, and came to Licheng alone to find Xu Qian, but Xu Qian didn't want to see him at all, let alone show him his son.
Later, Lu Zihao was busy with the affairs of the basketball team, and he had no time to find Lu Yuan.
When she returned to Beijing this time, Xu Qian contacted Lu gradually directly, and she didn't want to see Lu Zihao again.
She arrived in Beijing in the morning, found a place to have lunch at noon, and made an appointment to meet at the Temple of Heaven Park at two o'clock in the afternoon.
When Lu gradually became young, Lu Zihao would take Lu gradually with him, and when Xu Qian saw his son, he would take Lu gradually to the park and play around.
When Lu gradually grew up, the two would find a place to chat, and Xu Qian asked her son how he was studying and if he was in good health.
Every time Xu Qian comes, she will bring some clothes for her son, which she picked out for Lu gradually with her own hands, or bring some hairy nose dumplings made by herself.
When he was very young, Lu gradually had a lively personality and was naughty and active, while Lu Yuan had a timid personality and was quiet and silent.
Lu gradually became more and more mature and steady, obedient and sensible, every time he saw his mother, he would wear the clothes Xu Qian bought for him, and he was always on time. When I grow up a little, I will bring some gadgets and some delicious food to my mother.
Lu Yuan is becoming more and more lively, especially after that high fever, the whole person is much happier, which makes Xu Qian more and more afraid to take him to Beijing, and dare not mention his brother and father. Xu Qian was reluctant to let Lu Yuan play basketball, and she also had this consideration.
However, this time, Xu Qian didn't bring clothes for Lu Gradual, because she couldn't buy good-looking winter clothes that Lu Gradually could wear in Licheng, so she had to order them.
In the past brought to him, Lu gradually couldn't wear any of the clothes, and in the second year of junior high school to the third year of junior high school, he ran too fast, growing from 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters at once, and now it is estimated that he has grown taller again.
Watching her son grow up day by day, Xu Qian's heart was mixed, happy that Lu gradually was obedient and sensible and grew up healthily, and worried that she couldn't always be by her eldest son's side, and the two brothers hadn't seen each other for ten years.
Lu gradually once asked about his younger brother's situation, but Xu Qian was always vague, saying that his younger brother didn't want to see his father and brother for the time being, and his memory was wrong, and he couldn't remember many things.
Now, bigger trouble is coming, Xu Qian knows that the eldest son has been playing basketball since he was a child with Lu Zihao, and now the younger son has also started to play, and he is playing very well, and he has entered the winter trials.
Although Xu Qian doesn't know the rules of the national high school basketball game, as a mother, she still doesn't want to see the two brothers meet on the court ten years later.
She was especially worried that if Lu Yuan knew that her brother had been playing, what would he think in his heart, would he blame himself, would he hate himself, would he feel that he was obviously a brother, but it was so unfair.
With this complicated and heavy mood, after lunch, Xu Qian arrived at the Temple of Heaven Park by car, today's weather is very good, thinking of seeing Lu gradually again, Xu Qian's mood slowly improved.
At two o'clock, Lu gradually appeared at the gate of the Temple of Heaven Park on time, wearing a black down jacket, a beige scarf, and a knitted hat, which Xu Qian bought for him last year. He grew taller, but his head was not big.
Seeing Lu Gradual, Xu Qian's brows, which had been tightly locked, stretched out, stepped forward and took her son's hand, and stared at Lu Gradually for a while.
Once a year, although Xu Qian will also look at the photos posted by Lu gradually on the Internet on weekdays, or find opportunities to video with her son, but after all, it is not as real as face-to-face.
"I've grown taller again, why did I grow so fast, and I have to change my clothes again. ā
Xu Qian touched Lu Yan's head, Lu Yan was too tall, she had to stand on tiptoe.
"Anyway, they all wear sportswear, and they are issued by the school, so it doesn't matter. Lu gradually smiled and said.
In terms of appearance, he looks more like Lu Zihao, with a resolute and cold face, only his eyes are the same as Lu Yuan, like Xu Qian, dark and deep.
Xu Qian pulled her son to talk while walking, and her mother's words were always the same words, whether she was in good health, whether she studied hard, whether she had encountered any problems, and whether she was doing well in Beijing.
Lu Jian's answer is always the same, he is very good in Beijing, he is healthy, he studies hard, and he has not encountered any major problems.
The mother and son both said some words that were not salty, not light, not painful, but these words, Xu Qian felt that it was enough, and she was at ease.
Xu Qian bought two tickets to enter the Temple of Heaven Park and walked inside with Lu Yan. In the past, every time they came to Beijing, the place where the mother and son met was the Temple of Heaven Park, because when she was a child, Xu Qian often took her brothers to the Temple of Heaven Park to play.
The place they frequented most was the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven, where the two brothers would stand at the east and west ends of the Wall and whisper to each other, sometimes for an hour.
Now, because so many tourists are carving words on the wall, the management has to set up iron railings in front of the wall to prevent those who are carving the words from approaching, so people can no longer get close to the magic of the wall.
Lu gradually followed his mother to the echo wall, looked at the wall that had been isolated, and thought of his younger brother again.
When he was a child, he often thought of his younger brother, and he always asked his mother why his brother didn't come, and when he grew up, he seemed to understand his mother's mind, so he didn't ask much.
This time he thought about it again, but he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, Xiao Yuan... Are you better?"
Xu Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Yuan is very good, and besides, he has started playing basketball now." ā
He knew that his mother hated basketball the most, so every time they met, Lu gradually never mentioned his own things in the basketball team, for fear that his mother would be angry.
Now, but from his mother's mouth, he learned that his younger brother had actually started playing basketball?
"Didn't you see the news related to your brother on the Internet?" Xu Qian saw Lu Yan's expression, as if she didn't know that her younger brother was playing, and their school had finally won the municipal championship.
Lu gradually shook his head and said, "Dad... The coach usually doesn't allow me to read other teams and players on the Internet, and he says it will distract me. Mom, why are you ......?"
Xu Qian knew what Lu gradually meant, and said: "After all, it's not basketball's fault, I was too selfish before." Moreover, your brother is very talented. What kind of municipal championship did their school win this year? ā
Lu gradually heard it, the champion of the municipal competition, that is to say, he has entered the East China competition, he can be regarded as a strong team, I don't know how my younger brother is performing. What position did he play? He only started playing in high school, what were his basic skills, and who were his teammates?
Thinking of this, Lu Yan was excited and curious, and Xu Qian saw the light in Lu Yan's eyes, and sighed in her heart, sure enough, they are brothers, and their hobbies are the same.
"Actually, it's good to let him play basketball, no matter what the results are, at least he has made a few good friends. Oh, he has a teammate from Beijing, who is a good friend of Lu Yuan, who is about the same height as you, tall and thin, as if his name is Bai Ye. ā
Xu Qian mentioned Bai Ye, and Lu gradually heard this name and was shocked, Bai Ye? Could it be the one in the junior high school of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress, the younger brother of the women's basketball legend Bai Duo, and the white leaf and white son known as the "Iron Rope Hengjiang"?
"Mom, what does that white leaf look like? Maybe I know. Lu gradually asked.
So, Xu Qian described Bai Ye's appearance to Lu Gradually, and Lu Gradually knew that it was him.
Since last year's Beijing Junior High School Basketball Tournament finals, the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress lost to Lu Yan's No. 4 Middle School, this guy has disappeared, and he can't be found in Beijing.
Lu gradually thought that he had gone to the United States, but he didn't expect him to run to a small place like Licheng, and he became teammates and friends with his younger brother!
"What's the matter, Lu Yan, do you know him?" Xu Qian saw that her son's face was a little strange, so she asked.
"Oh, I've met him in Beijing before, but I'm not familiar with him. I'll go back and watch the video of my brother's game, and I'll give it to me when the time comes..."Lu gradually wanted to show his father, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.
Xu Qian knew what Lu gradually wanted to say, and said: "Show it to your father, if, if your father can give your brother a better chance of development, I am willing to let him come to Beijing." ā
When Lu gradually heard this, he said happily: "Then Mom, you can also come to Beijing!"
Xu Qian shook her head and said, "I will come to see you often, but I will never go back to Beijing to live." ā
