The reason why Secretary Lu suddenly mentioned this poem of "Pu Jia" is because when he and Zhao Han were in love, both of them liked this love poem with a blend of scenes, far-reaching artistic conception, and crying, and often sang and recited the classic sentences in it together. Moreover, in the first love letter Lu Zhiyao wrote to Zhao Han, he quoted the first few lines of this poem to express his love for Zhao Han, but he was worried that it would be difficult for the two of them to be together, and he was afraid that the road would be "long and difficult" in the future......

When he heard Ye Ming say that his mother also liked this poem very much, and often recited it and used it as Ye Ming's enlightenment poem, Secretary Lu immediately came to two judgments: first, Ye Ming's mother is definitely Zhao Han, which is beyond doubt; Secondly, even after Zhao Han got married and gave birth to a son, she always pretended to be herself in her heart, and she has always missed the good times when she was with her......

Thinking about this, he only felt that his heart was beating very hard. In order to calm his excitement, he said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, when I was in college, I also liked this ancient poem called "Pu Jia", but now because I am old and my memory is poor, I don't remember some of the sentences in the poem anymore, can you recite it for me now?" ”

In fact, Secretary Lu has the deepest memory of this poem, and he can still recite it backwards. However, he very much wanted Ye Ming to recite this poem with his voice and tone that was somewhat similar to Zhao Han, so that he could taste the warm and beautiful feeling of reciting this poem with Zhao Han at the beginning......

Ye Ming nodded and said, "It's good." ”

Then he recited with emotion and charm:

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing back to it, the road is long and obstructive; Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. The leaves are desolate, and the white dew is not dawning. The so-called Yi people are in the water of the Mae. Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and tasted; Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. The leaves are picked, and the white dew is not over. The so-called Yi people are in the water. Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and right; Tracing from it, it is like being in the water. ”

After Ye Ming finished reciting, Secretary Lu seemed to be immersed in the artistic conception of the poem, squinted his eyes slightly, and savored it for a long time, and then said in a voice full of emotion: "Xiao Ye, when I was a child, I was asked by my father to recite more than 300 poems in the Book of Songs. Among these is, my favorite is this song "Pu Jia". This poem is full of affection, and the scene is blended together, which effectively highlights the protagonist's poignant and melancholy emotions, giving people a kind of miserable and hazy beauty, which is very infectious! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, stared at the necklace around Ye Ming's neck, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Ye, when I was looking at the jade pendant you were wearing just now, I found that there were two words engraved on it, one was the word 'Han', and the other was the word 'Yuan'. Moreover, these two characters should have been engraved later, not like when this piece of jade was carved. Is there any meaning or story in this? ”

Ye Ming heard him ask about this, his heart was sour, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "Secretary Lu, what you said is right. This piece of jade was a token of love from my father to my mother. The word 'Han' is my mother's name. And the word 'far' is my father's name......

As soon as Ye Ming said this, he heard an "ah" from Secretary Lu's mouth, his eyes suddenly widened, and an incredible expression appeared on his face, and before he finished speaking, he asked in a trembling voice: "Xiao Ye, what did you just say?" You mean: This word 'far' is your father's name? Is it your biological father's name? ”

Ye Ming was immersed in the nostalgia for his mother, and did not notice the abnormality of Secretary Lu's face, nodded and said, "That's right!" I was born in a single-parent family since I was a child, and I haven't seen my father since I was born. I asked my mother, where the hell is my father? But my mother never told me, just that my father was in a distant place. She also told me: Don't ask now, and don't try to find your father. If the opportunity comes, your father and son will always meet. If the opportunity doesn't come, you'll probably never see each other for the rest of your lives......"

Secretary Lu interrupted him again and asked again in an unusual tone: "Xiao Ye, you mean: Your mother has always lived alone?" Never married? You haven't seen your father since you were born, have you? ”

Ye Ming glanced at Secretary Lu a little strangely, seeing that his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were blazing, and his lips were constantly shaking, which was very different from the calm and atmospheric expression at the beginning, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking that he was sick, so he said a little uneasily: "Secretary Lu, are you not very comfortable?" Am I disturbing your rest? Otherwise, I'll take my leave now, and you can get some sleep and rest! ”

Seeing him standing up, ready to say goodbye at any time, Secretary Lu suddenly grabbed his arm and said almost in a pleading tone: "Child, don't go!" I don't feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, I'm happy in my heart now. Come on, come on, sit down, and we'll talk a little longer...... By the way, why did your mother give you this jade pendant? Do you want to go looking for your father? ”

Ye Ming's heart ached, he looked down at the jade pendant on his chest, rubbed it a few times with his hand, his eyes turned red again, and he said in a slightly choked voice: "Secretary Lu, this is my mother's relic, and it is the most precious inheritance she left me." She said: I wear this jade pendant as if she and my father are by my side! She also said: This jade pendant has aura. If I encounter any catastrophe in the future, as long as I touch the jade pendant a few times, she will perceive it under the Nine Springs, and she will ......"

"Wait! Kid, what did you just say? You say this jade pendant is a relic of your mother? ”

After hearing the word "relic", Secretary Lu only felt as if someone had punched him heavily in his chest, and his heart hurt all of a sudden; At the same time, his cheeks, which were originally a little flushed, also turned pale all of a sudden, and he didn't care about controlling his emotions, interrupted Ye Ming's narration again, and raised his voice and asked.

Ye Ming nodded and said sadly: "Secretary Lu, my mother is a teacher in a rural middle school, she has taught in our middle school for more than 20 years, and she has never left there. Five years ago, she contracted liver cancer, but she continued to lecture on the podium until she collapsed on the podium and was admitted to the hospital, where she passed away a month later......

When Secretary Lu heard his last words, he suddenly moaned in a low voice, and then said to Ye Ming in a choked voice: "Child, you wait!" I'm going to the bathroom! ”

In Ye Ming's surprised and worried gaze, Secretary Lu staggered to the door of the bathroom in the room like a drunk, opened the door tremblingly, and then went in to lock the door, and suddenly covered his face with his thick palms, and large strands of tears were like spring water, bulging out from his fingers, and suddenly wetting his neck, his collar, and his chest......
