Chapter 163: A New Heaven and Earth
Liu Pai, you get into my car first, I'll send you back in a while, I have a few words to say to Zhengji, please wait for me.
Principal Liu glanced at the two suspiciously, nodded, and walked towards the red flag car in front, leaving Zhengji and Geng Jianbo standing in place.
"Xiao Zheng, you probably wonder why I called you here, right?" Geng Jianbo asked with a smile.
"Well, to be honest, it's a bit bit," Masaki replied honestly.
"I basically know what you are doing in Shencheng, and I also know about your relationship with Song Lao," Geng Jianbo said after glancing at Zhengji.
"Are you?" Zhengji glanced at Geng Jianbo, and had a strange conjecture in his heart.
"I'm from the Song family," Geng Jianbo said word by word.
Masaki was shocked, and it was really similar to his guess.
Geng Jianbo saw Zhengji's thoughtful expression, and then said: "Song Liang mentioned you to me a few days ago, and when I heard that you were back, I wanted to meet you and see what kind of person he admired, and it didn't disappoint me."
"Thank you, Mayor Geng, what is your relationship with the Song family?" said the doubts in his heart.
"Song Lao is my uncle," Geng Jianbo said.
"Hello Uncle Geng," Masaki hurriedly shouted when he heard this.
"Well, I heard Song Liang say, we are a family, if you need help in the future, just ask, don't be polite to me, the old man rarely likes you, I heard that he gave you all the treasured pens, I remember when I was a child, I couldn't bear to want him", Geng Jianbo said with a smile.
Masaki smiled and didn't speak.
"By the way, I also heard my friends in the army sing the song you sang to the old man, you probably don't know how popular your song "Loyal to the Country" is in the army now, since it has been circulated, I heard my friends in the army say that they sing songs and cheer up every day in training, I have never liked any songs in my life, but your song, I will give you this", said Geng Jianbo gave a thumbs up to Zhengji, " That's the most majestic song I've ever heard, no wonder the old man was so excited at the beginning, but I didn't sing well, when do you have time, you release another album as soon as possible, not to mention anything else, this song must be in the first place, for this song, I also want to buy a few copies to listen to", Geng Jianbo said with full interest.
Zhengji was a little surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect that the song he sang on his improvised basis would spread so quickly in the army, and sure enough, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and good songs are not afraid of no one passing on, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will do it as soon as possible, and when the album is released, I will be the first to send you a few."
The two chatted for a while, worried that Principal Liu couldn't wait, so they said goodbye to each other, Zhengji drove to his home, but his heart was full of thoughts, no wonder Geng Jianbo was able to withstand so much pressure, no wonder his career was smooth, no wonder he was able to enter the Standing Committee ten years later, it turned out that he was a member of the Song family, that's right, Geng Jianbo is the representative of the Song family in the front desk, I believe that the Song family is not only Geng Jianbo, a representative of interests, in the center of power, every family is probably like this, there are people who represent their own interests, Zhengji vaguely felt that he had come into contact with a world that he could not touch in his previous life, a world that was different from his imagination。
When Masanki returned home, his mother and father were also there, and when they saw Masanori coming back, they immediately greeted him and asked with concern, "How was it that you met the mayor?" "Well, we had dinner together", Masaki replied absentmindedly as he thought about things.
"How are you doing, does the mayor have a good impression of you?" Zheng Xueping asked when he saw his son's unsettled appearance, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"It's good, Mayor Geng is good, we had a good chat", Zhengji saw the concern in his parents' eyes, temporarily put the tedious thoughts in his mind behind, and said to his parents with a smile.
"That's good, that's good, what did Mayor Geng talk to you about?" Zheng Xueping asked his son with interest, he was very curious about what the mayor of a high city would talk to him.
"It's nothing, it's just some daily life, and it's about singing," Masaki didn't tell his parents the truth about the situation at that time.
"By the way, Mom, why are you back? Didn't you say that you should be observed in the hospital for a few days?"
"Hey, what else do you say, your mother is so anxious, she can't live or die today, let the doctor check it out and come back, I can't stop your mother", Zheng Xueping said helplessly.
"Didn't the doctor say that it was okay today, so I went back early", Li Xuemei looked at her son and said.
Masaki sighed, since everyone is back, there is no need to go back, he shook his head and compromised: "Okay, since you can't live anymore, Mom, then come back, but you don't have to go to work these days, just rest at home."
"Come, son, tell my mother what kind of person Mayor Geng is, he looks the same as on TV", Li Xuemei also asked curiously
The next day, Zhengji exercised as usual, and then drove out to buy some gifts and went downstairs to Liu Lu's house.
Zhengji glanced at the floor where Liu Lu was, thought about it, picked up his mobile phone, and called Liu Lu's phone.
"Xiaolu, I'm here, just downstairs from your house,"
"Ahh
Ten minutes later, Liu Lu put on her carefully selected clothes and rushed downstairs, when she approached the door of the corridor, she slowed down, calmed down her excitement, walked out with ladylike steps, and looked at Zhengji not far away with a smile.
"You're here," Liu Lu asked, opening the car door and sitting in the co-pilot, looking into Masaki's eyes.
The early morning sun sprinkled on Liu Lu's face, setting off her light makeup, Qiong's nose was slightly upturned, and her cherry lips were lightly exhaled, showing a different kind of beauty, and Zhengji was stunned for a while.
"Hey, I'm talking to you", Liu Lu said with a hint of blush on her face.
"Oh, didn't you say it yesterday, just get up early, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry", Masaki reacted at this time.
"By the way, I haven't asked you which hospital your grandmother is in?" asked Masaki.
The smile on Liu Lu's face slowly faded, and she said with a hint of sadness, "In the People's Hospital."
"But are you really going? My parents don't know you, how do you explain going?" Liu Lu's face was filled with a trace of sorrow, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart.
"It's all said and done, I've bought everything, how can I give up halfway, you can tell your parents that I'm your good classmate," Masaki said, pointing to the gift in the back seat.
"Will my parents believe it?"
"Don't worry, I'll take the opportunity to act", Zhengji patted Liu Lu's little hand and comforted.
"By the way, have you had breakfast?" asked Masaki as he suddenly thought of something.
"No, I came back from the hospital late last night, so I got up late today and didn't care about it," Liu Lu said with a blushing face, and there was a gurgling sound in her stomach as if she was testifying.
Masaki glanced at the weak little girl in the co-pilot with some distress, and without saying a word, he started the car and drove forward.
Ten minutes later, in front of the early stall, "Boss, come with five fritters and two bowls of old tofu", Masaki shouted to the middle-aged man who was busy.
"Okay, come right away," the boss shouted, and then a middle-aged woman brought two bowls of steaming old tofu in front of Zhengji and Liu Lu, and then brought five fried dough sticks.
"What are you doing in a daze, let's start quickly, this store is good, I come often," Zhengji reminded Liu Lu, who was in a daze.
"Oh", Liu Lu nodded as if she had just woken up from a dream, picked up disposable chopsticks from the dining table, picked up a golden fritter, and ate it in small bites, feeling the sweetness of the crispy fritters in her mouth, she suddenly felt that this was the happiest and most delicious breakfast she had ever eaten in her life, and she looked up and quietly glanced at Masaki, she suddenly wanted to spend her whole life with Masaki like this, it must be good.
Meanwhile, in the corridor of the People's Hospital, a couple was arguing.
"I think our mother can go home to recuperate, I just looked at the medical bill, this day's chemotherapy fee will cost a few hundred yuan, which is almost a month's salary for you and me, how long can our family last?" said the woman and man, who were in their forties.
"Go home? Do you go home and see our mother die? My mother is so sick, how can I give up the treatment of my mother at this critical time? My mother has raised me so big, how can I bear it? Maybe there will be a miracle?" Liu Zhengjun's eyes were red, and his voice was unconsciously much higher, causing the people around him to look back frequently.
"What are you shouting? Did I say give up our mother's treatment? Besides, you can't take medicine when you go home? You don't know how expensive the hospitalization fee in the hospital is, you can see for yourself how much money is left in the passbook? You just bought a house last year, how long can you last?" Liu Lu's mother unfolded the passbook in her hand and showed it to Liu Zhengjun, and the balance of 3,000 yuan on it pierced Liu Zheng's heart like a needle.
"It's a big deal to sell the house," Liu Zhengjun bit down and said an answer that shocked Li Hui.
"Are you crazy?" Li Hui involuntarily took two steps back and looked at her husband like a madman, "How much did we pay to buy this house, most of our life savings are in this house, and now you want to leave our mother and mother homeless for the sake of your own terminally ill mother? Do you still have a conscience? Your two brothers can't even get through on the phone until now, why should you let the youngest be the eldest person? You are rich after selling the house, but have you ever thought about what will happen in three months? Do you remember what the doctor said? Where are you going to let us go in three months?"
Liu Zhengjun listened to his wife's words with a bitter face, every sentence was like a knife cutting his heart, intellectually he knew that his wife said some truth, but there was a voice in his heart, let him stick to his choice, thinking of the tangled, he couldn't help but sit on the chair next to him, burying his head deep between his knees.
Li Hui looked at her husband's appearance, looking at the already conspicuous white hair on the top of his head, it was only a few days, he had white hair when he was just over forty years old, Li Hui's heart couldn't help but soften, she is not hard-hearted, she also has feelings, she is not incomprehensible to her husband's embarrassment, if it is her, I am afraid it is not as good as her husband, but thinking of Liu Lu, who is about to take the college entrance examination in the third year of high school, her heart is hard again.
Li Hui gently hugged her husband, put her face on his back, and said softly: "Zhengjun, I'm sorry, my words were heavy just now, you feel sorry for your mother, how can I not be sad, you must know that after all, we have lived under one roof for nearly 20 years, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, I am also very uncomfortable when I see my mother like that, but even so, you can't be emotional, mom's time is running out, instead of letting mom survive in the hospital for three months, then why don't you let mom go home and happily finish these last days?" If my mother knows, I believe that her old man will definitely choose the latter, Zhengjun, we still have Lu'er, she will take the college entrance examination next year, can you bear to let your child drop out of school? Zhengjun, believe me, I will make my mother as happy and happy as possible in the last days."
Liu Zhengjun listened to his wife's gentle voice, his heart was like a war, on the one hand, the kind face of his mother who had raised him for many years, and on the other hand, his wife and daughter who would never leave him regardless of whether he was good or bad, he fell into an unprecedented entanglement.
Just when Li Hui couldn't help but want to persuade again, Liu Zhengjun raised his head, his eyes were red, and he said almost word by word: "I understand, just take my mother home tomorrow", after speaking, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, sat weakly in the chair, and looked at the door of his mother's ward stupidly.
"Zhengjun, I know you will figure it out, don't blame me, I am also for our family, don't worry, I will definitely let my mother enjoy her old age in peace" Seeing her husband's appearance, Liu Hui's tears also flowed, and she was also uncomfortable.
Liu Zhengjun looked at the door without saying a word, but scenes of his mother and himself flashed in his mind.
