36. Nirvana
Finally opening her eyes from the endless darkness, Liang Lei gradually saw the snow-white ceiling above her room and the sunlight pouring in from the window.
It took a while to get my mind and focus back, and I picked up the phone on the bedside, showing the date: 7:05 on June 15, 2016.
That dream last night was so long!
Today is the fifth anniversary of my father's death, no wonder I dream of those long-lost pasts......
I got up a little dazed and brushed my teeth and washed my face, and only when the cold tap water hit my face did I wake up a little. Changed into a pure black casual suit, as in previous years, today I will go to the cemetery to worship.
"Mom, Dad, I'm coming to see you." put a bouquet of flowers in front of the joint burial of the two, slowly took out a tissue, gently wiped the tombstone, and said to himself: "I have also stopped taking medicine for almost half a year, you can rest assured." I'm much better now, and I've got a new job and I'm able to support myself. I'm sorry, Dad, although I didn't follow your plan to become a doctor, but my current job is a health manager and volunteer in the community, and I can still take a little side, and I can use medical science to benefit mankind. So, don't get too angry. Future...... I'm going to do my best to go on as well as I can. Over there, you and Mom can live well, and don't worry about me anymore. ”
After that, he stood for a long time, and some of the past came with the wind, and passed away with the wind, until it was almost noon.
Today is the weekend, and after coming out of the cemetery, Liang Lei is still a little bored alone, but since her mother died, she hasn't been shopping, and her phobia of crowds has only improved slightly in the past two years. But I still have the habit of unconsciously picking places with fewer people to walk, and subconsciously I still don't want to drown in the crowd.
At this time, the phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, smiled, and swiped the screen to answer the channel: "Hey, Brother Huang." ”
"I just got off work, do you have any plans for today?" On the other end of the phone was a voice like a warm spring breeze.
"Not yet, just now...... I've been to see my parents, and now I'm going back. "Walking in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, I made a phone call.
“…… I'm sorry, I forgot, today is the teacher's death day. ”
"It's okay, how busy you are! I just haven't forgotten it. Thank you, Brother Huang. ”
"Then I'll come here, let's go to dinner together."
"You've tossed to this point, and it's not easy to get off work, don't you go to take a break? I'll just go back by myself, don't worry. ”
“…… All right. I'm sure you can do it yourself, but my phone is always open and you must call me in time if you have any questions. ”
Liang Lei smiled and pinched off a dog's tail grass from the side of the road and said, "Okay, I know." Of course I can! ”
After hanging up the phone, looking at the clear blue sky, it was close to noon, and the sun was a little dazzling.
Huang Minliang was his attending doctor, and he was also the person who accompanied him through the most difficult and difficult years of his life over the years, and he was the one who pulled him back from the ghost gate again and again. Even though he has been discharged from the hospital now and has recovered, the relationship established between the two is getting deeper and deeper, and the connection has never been broken. Liang Lei regarded him as a brother, a benefactor, a confidant, and a comrade-in-arms in times of trouble.
As he said, there is still a long way to go, whether it is to continue the life of parents or to live to atone for sins, we should no longer self-exile, the past has passed, whether we can let go or not, we can only forget it. After all, this situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.
Walk slowly and let out a long sigh. Liang Lei has decided to start a new life, this time, she must live well and seriously.
But what she didn't know was that just as she was thinking about it, a Mercedes drove past her, and it was so fast that the people in the car didn't notice her, let alone the car. It's just that sometimes, the wheel of fate rolls up, which can be decided if you want to go, want to stay, want to let go, want to receive......
A week later, in the evening, Liang Lei, who was sitting at the table reading a book, was frightened by the sound of being slapped on the table, and then heard a laughing sound behind her. Turning his head, a book slapped over him, hitting him right in the head.
"Ouch! Sister, what's the matter with you? Come up and start beating people! You're not afraid to hit the wrong person. Liang Jie covered his head and shouted.
"Where else is there in the house? Besides, just the smell of sweat on your body, there is no second person in the world, go wash me quickly. Looking at Liang Jie, who had just come back from playing, his whole body was dirty, and he said with disgust.
"Gotta gotcha, I'll go. By the way, sister, look at this. As he spoke, he slapped a few things like leaflets in front of Liang Lei's eyes.
"What?"
"See for yourself, I'll go take a shower first." After saying that, he turned his head and left.
Liang Lei smiled and shook her head, picked up the colorful leaflets on the table. Oh, it turned out to be a draft poster, this kid, what do you mean by showing yourself this? Take a closer look, it's hosted by a satellite TV, the theme is "Sing for You", it's still in the early stages, and it's a nationwide audition that is being held, which says, 16-28 years old, young men and women, as long as they have dreams for singing, acting, music, talent, and pursuit, they can participate. First, 30 outstanding and potential star singers will be selected from the regional sea, and then they will go through a stage of professional intensive training, and then select the best male and female singers according to the competition system.
A little crying and laughing, he put the poster back on the table, and went to prepare a supper for Liang Jie, he always likes to eat something every time he finishes playing, otherwise he will get up in the middle of the night to make a fuss, Liang Lei is afraid of him.
Liang Jie and Liang Jing have both graduated from college this year, and it is time for each to look for a job. Liang Jing never had to worry about anyone, and after finishing her undergraduate studies, she was admitted to graduate school and continued to study. But Liang Jie really didn't want to study anymore, and finally managed to graduate, and just wanted to devote himself to the melting pot of society. No, I found Blue City when I was looking for a job, and I had been staying at Liang Lei's cousin's house for three days.
After a while, Liang Lei's noodles were cooked and placed on the table. Liang Jie's bath was also finished, and while wiping his hair with a towel, he asked, "Have you seen it?" ”
"Looked." Liang Lei cleaned up the kitchen.
"What do you think of that?" Start eating noodles.
"What do you think?"
"You can go and participate."
"Why should I attend?"
"You love to sing, and you sing so well, why don't you give it a try."
“…… That was a long time ago. ”
"So what? What you really like is not something that changes over time. And I asked my brother-in-law-to-be, and he also encouraged you to participate, he thinks this competition is very good, it is good for you, and you should have more contact with people. ”
Liang Lei put the rag on the stove and fell, walked over and clasped her hands around her chest and said, "Can you have a longer memory!" Say it again, I'm not allowed to call Huang Minliang my brother-in-law anymore, do you hear that? Also, I'm able to interact with people now, but I don't like too many people, what's wrong? ”
"But you used to like to be lively the most, where there are many people, where to please. And singing is the best way to express people's feelings, and it's also something I like, even my sister-to-be...... That's what Dr. Huang said. Liang Jie hurriedly ate a few more bites, this sister, who has been unpredictable and deceitful since she was a child, can't take the noodle bowl away in the next second.
"Not interested." Liang Lei spread her hands.
"Go ahead and try it, it's just an audition, and besides, don't talk like you can choose if you're interested. Cut! After whispering the last sentence, he quickly ran away with the bowl.
Late at night, look at the time, he should be on night duty, and send out a WeChat: You asked Liang Jie to give me the audition poster?
After a while, Huang Minliang replied: He sent it to me first and asked me how I was, and I thought it was good.
Liang Lei: Where's the problem?
Huang Minliang: If you like it, it's the best.
Liang Lei: ......
Huang Minliang: What's wrong? I'm just suggesting, if you really don't want to go, don't go.
Liang Lei: I haven't sung in a long time.
Huang Minliang: I know, it's only been a long time, it's not that I haven't sung it. I remember your singing, and I can't forget it once.
Liang Lei: ...... I'm not confident.
Huang Minliang: Let's go and have a look, it's better for you to go out for a walk than to take any medicine.
Liang Lei: ...... Besides, I'll take a look.
Huang Minliang: Okay, no matter what you choose, I support it, whether you sing it or not, I am your fan.
Liang Lei: Brother Huang, you have such a sweet mouth and don't even have a girlfriend, it's really blind! Hahaha......
Huang Minliang: It's so easy to find a girlfriend, and I don't have time to accompany me when I find it.
Liang Lei: It's hard work, you should be on duty.
Huang Minliang: Obey!
Putting down the phone, Huang Minliang, who was in the doctor's duty room, rubbed his temples so that he could be more awake, walked to the window and looked down, the summer night was so quiet, everything was quiet and fine. However, the evening breeze could not blow away the lingering haze in his heart......
