Volume 1 The Year of the Bundle of Hair Chapter 23 Among the Ten Thousand Flowers
The next morning, the sky was clear, and the sun had already arrived as promised as usual, but today it was not an alarm clock that woke Chen Jie, but a phone call.
"Son, are you up?" Lu Guoping asked lightly.
"Huh......?" Chen Jie's voice was a little hoarse because he had just opened his eyes, and he rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't recovered from his dream, "Mom, why are you calling so early today......
"Mom just told you, the original plan to go back to see you this weekend is going to be canceled......" Lu Guoping spoke in a low tone, sounding listless.
When Chen Jie heard this, he completely recovered from his dream, and his voice immediately became crisp, and he hurriedly asked, "Huh? Do you have a meeting again on the weekend? ”
"Not this time, that ...... Your Aunt Lin is back. Lu Guoping wanted to find a suitable expression, but after thinking about it, she only came up with such a sentence.
"Aunt Lin? Is that Aunt Lin who went to France? She's back? ”
Aunt Lin's real name is Lin Weiman, and it can be seen from the name that Lin Weiman's family is still more emotional, at least in that era, it was risky to dare to marry such a name to a girl. Chen Jie knew that Aunt Lin was my mother's best friend during the big collective period, and then my mother went to the sea, and Aunt Lin went to France within a few years, and there was no news before, that is, because of the popularity of the Internet a few years ago, my mother and Aunt Lin resumed contact.
It's also interesting to say, Lin Weiman, who has always been very conservative before, just because after watching one or two French black and white movies, the girl's heart suddenly burst, and she doesn't know where the obsession comes from.
A few years ago, after she and Lu Guoping resumed contact, she did not encourage the latter to go to France to live, in order to move her, Lin Weiman told a lot of French anecdotes, Chen Jie listened to French songs for a while, and also indirectly received Lin Weiman's influence, and the popular song "Les Champs-Elysees" was recommended to Chen Jie in her postcard. However, Lu Guoping finally stayed in China for development because he was reluctant to let his son go.
Although Lin Weiman and Chen Jie have never met, the former always treats the latter as if he were his own son, and always sends Chen Jie some gifts from time to time every year. And Lin Weiman didn't know where to find out about Chen Jie's careful thoughts, and every time she sent back a gift she did, it was exactly what she liked, which made Chen Jie's feelings for her naturally a little heavier.
But since that incident, Lin Weiman seems to have disappeared, and he has not contacted Lu Guoping's mother and son for some years, and Chen Jie suddenly felt that everything is impermanent, and the way of thinking about life has also changed dramatically.
"Mom, how is Aunt Lin doing now? How long will you stay in the country? I want to see her. In fact, it was a happy thing to meet, but because of that incident, Chen Jie couldn't get excited.
"Well, how can I say it...... Your Aunt Lin, even if you are back, you are not back. Lu Guoping is still a little difficult to tell the truth directly, and she always seems very depressed in her words, maybe she herself has not fully accepted it yet.
"If you come back, you are back, if you don't come back, you don't come back, what does it mean to come back and not come back?"
At this point, Lu Guoping could no longer suppress her sadness, and said with a choked voice: "I came back, I came back, but I didn't come back alive." ”
Chen Jie also sighed deeply, and then asked tentatively, "Is it because of that disease?" ”
Lu Guoping hummed lightly, adjusted her emotions and continued: "So Mom is going to attend your Aunt Lin's funeral this weekend, so I won't go back to see you." ”
Chen Jie sighed again and said, "Go ahead and say hello to Aunt Lin's family on my behalf." ”
"Got it...... Mom, there's nothing else to do, so hurry up and get ready to go to school. ”
……
……
Sunshine, especially the morning sunshine, she is warm and not so drowsy that it is both healing and inspiring, so it often has the magical effect of sweeping away the haze in the heart and providing vitality. Chen Gao and the others were meeting on the way to school at this time, Gao Geli was naturally in a good mood under the illumination of this kind of sunshine, if it weren't for the fact that there was now a Chen Jie who was in a depressed state because he took the phone, which lowered his excitement, it is estimated that his heart would have jumped up at this time.
Since Xinmin Court is very close to Huaqiang No. 1 Middle School, the two of them only need to walk to the school in less than 10 minutes every day. Along the way, private cars that take children to school are parked everywhere, and the horns are also loud one after another, making people really noisy.
A little green in the flowers, just as the two endured the noise and walked quickly, an army green jeep came into their eyes, although the traffic congestion made the road conditions very poor, but the car has not honked, very gentlemanly waiting for the surrounding vehicles to give way, and finally stopped in a remote corner a little far from the school gate.
Because of the sunshine, the curiosity unique to teenagers in his bones was also unreservedly stimulated. This car is like a military vehicle, and the things in the army are both strange and new to Gao Geli, so when he sees this jeep, he naturally wants to find out.
Chen Jie was actually interested in these new things, but now he was really a little absent-minded, but after all, he was still no match for Gao Geli's sunny breath and soft grinding and hard bubbles, and the trajectory of the two people was subtly offset by the call of the jeep.
The two men hid behind a wall less than 50 meters away from the jeep, sniffing everything around them like two detectives. Once he enters a state of concentration, Chen Jie can always automatically put aside a lot of emotional things, including the frustration just now.
"Feng Shinan?!" Gao Geli looked at the person who got out of the car first and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Be quiet." Chen Jie reminded carefully.
"You girl can really get me in trouble!" At this time, a middle-aged man in a military uniform slowly stepped out of the car.
This person's voice was strong and powerful, his eyes were like torches, and that look reminded Chen Jie of the eagles he had seen in the animal world. Although this person's figure is not as good as the soldiers in the parade team, he is quite well-proportioned on the whole, especially the generally straight waist, which looks extraordinarily energetic. After standing still, the middle-aged man took care of his military uniform and didn't speak again, listening to this title should be Feng Shinan's father.
"A soldier is a soldier, look at this temperament." Chen Jie said with some fascination.
Gao Geli glanced at him with some disdain, and reminded in a low voice: "Look at the point! Look at the point! ”
"What's the point?" Chen Jie asked a little puzzled.
