Chapter Twenty-Six: Are You Okay?
The car stopped in front of Wei Lan, and Aunt Zhang got out of the car and loaded Wei Lan's suitcase into the car, and said, "Your Uncle Li knows that you are coming, so he has already cooked the meal." ”
"It's not noon yet." Wei Lan went out early, and the time to arrive in Mingxi Town was quite early.
Wei Lan sat on the seat at the back of the tricycle and held the rickety suitcase, looking at Aunt Zhang's slightly hunched back, which had changed too much compared to a year ago, just now I saw that there were more and more wrinkles on her face, and the calluses on her hands were getting thicker and thicker, the only thing that did not change was the gentle and kind tone.
In fact, it didn't take another few minutes to drive Wei Lanjiu to arrive at Aunt Zhang's house, Aunt Zhang's house was a two-story courtyard on the side of the road, surrounded by a fence, and Uncle Li was still holding a small child at the door of the house waiting for her arrival.
"Uncle Li." Wei Lan smiled.
"Come, quick, come in and sit down." Uncle Li warmly took the suitcase in Wei Lan's hand and helped her put it in the room where she lived when she came before.
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
"Thank you, your own child."
Because of the perennial fatigue and the fact that he used to do food wholesale often in and out of the freezer, Uncle Li now has a lot of problems in his legs and waist, and there are many more gray hairs than last year.
"I brought toys to Sihan, as well as some spices that Aunt Zhang said before, and a massager."
Wei Lan opened the suitcase and took out the things brought to them one by one, in normal times Wei Lan would also buy some things to send to them, they wouldn't accept them before, and then buy Wei Lan to buy them some small things, so that they wouldn't not fail to accept them.
"You bought him toys again, and the toys you sent last time are still new."
"Sihan, do you want to play with this little train?" Wei Lan asked, pointing to the small train box placed in front of Sihan.
"Yes." Xiao Sihan nodded obediently.
"You're used to him." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she went to the kitchen and was busy serving rice.
At the dinner table, Wei Lan looked at his favorite dishes, Aunt Zhang's best potato roast beef, as well as fried shredded pork with sharp peppers, and green pepper fish made by Uncle Li.
"How are your parents doing?" Aunt Zhang asked while feeding Sihan's food.
"It's good."
"That's good."
After eating, Wei Lan still wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Aunt Zhang had to let her into the house to take a nap, saying that she was clumsy and had broken the dishes before.
Wei Lan stood in front of the window of the house and looked at the vegetable patch outside, and a little farther away there was a small hill with many trees on the hillside, and she remembered the follow-up to the story in the car, and then her family moved.
Wei Lan moved away during the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school, she told Li Han when she was before, but Li Han didn't come to see her off, she went to Li Han's mother's snack bar, the snack bar was closed, and she only knew that Li Han was hospitalized after half a month.
Li Han had myocarditis because he did not seek medical attention in time, and when he went to the hospital, it had already caused heart failure, and the clinical mortality rate of this disease was very high, and the doctor recommended that he be transferred to the hospital, and Li Han's parents had to be transferred to a better hospital.
Li Han stayed in the intensive care unit for a week, but his condition still did not improve, and that night Li Han lived forever at the age of 12 after rescue efforts failed.
After Wei Lan found out, he went to Li Han's hometown Mingxi Town to attend Li Han's funeral.
Because of the grief of losing their daughter, Li Han's parents gave up their jobs in the city, sold their previous house, returned to Mingxi Town, bought a store in the town, and the two still opened a snack bar, the signboard in the store is called Li Han dumplings, of course, not only buy dumplings, but also have many snacks.
After a lapse of four years, they ushered in a child named Li Sihan, who was born for Li Han, and it was their love for Li Han.
After so many years, they may have come out of their grief, but they can't forget their grief and just don't want to talk about it again.
Wei Lan went out and came to the small hill she was looking at with a box in her hand, opened the gift she bought for Li Han and put it in front of her tomb, the box contained a bouquet of Zou Ju, which was Li Han's favorite flower.
"I'm here again, how are you doing?" Wei Lan found a place to sit down, and he didn't know where to look.
"I didn't tell you this time last year, I had someone I liked, and this year we were together. He is very nice, gentle and hardworking. ”
After a long while, Wei Lan continued to speak very slowly: "I met a friend, she is very similar to you, very lively, and talks a lot like you, laughs happily every day, and makes a fuss because of a little thing.
Wei Lan thought about the picture of Li Han being scared by male classmates with small insects before, with a shallow smile on his face.
"Don't be jealous."
Wei Lan got up and looked at the photo of Li Han on the tombstone, she was smiling so happily at that time.
"I'm gone, see you next year."
In Mingxi Town, in the past few days, Wei Lan usually goes to Aunt Zhang's shop to help, although she can't make snacks, but she helps clean up and collects the money for the meal.
This week passed quickly, Wei Lan had already set off to return to Yangcheng and said goodbye to Li Han's parents one by one, Wei Lan got into the car on the way back, I don't know if He Mu is very busy? David must have been busy, too, and seemed to have nothing to do when he got back.
Arriving at the county, Wei Lan took his ID card to the ticket window to get the ticket, and saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the train station, wearing a white shirt and slacks, a pair of sneakers on his legs, and a black backpack on his back.
After Wei Lan took the ticket, he walked towards the entrance of the station, looking at him still playing with his mobile phone, and didn't notice Wei Lan who had walked in at all.
"Is the phone fun?" Wei Lan leaned his head and looked at He Mu's mobile phone screen, it turned out that he was playing a game, no wonder.
He Mu smiled as Wei Lan turned off the game, put the phone in his pocket, and said while taking the suitcase in Wei Lan's hand, "I thought you would arrive a little late." ”
I didn't expect her to arrive so early, and now it's only half past nine.
"Aren't you busy today?" Recently, He Mu rarely has time to rest, let alone come to such a far place.
"I took a leave of absence."
"I was in the car thinking that you all have something to do, so I'm idle."
The two sat in the seats waiting for the bus.
"Aren't you writing a novel?" He Mu saw that she sat in front of the computer every day and wrote novels whenever she had time, how could she be idle.
"I'm done." She has already finished writing the manuscript, as long as she updates it on time every day.
"Are you interested in learning screenwriting?" Since she is interested in writing, she can learn some skills and industry models of screenwriting.
"Screenwriter?" The profession of screenwriting is actually quite unfamiliar to her, but writing and screenwriting are completely different things.
"Well, Xiangyang is also changing the existing model now, and there will be film and television drama production in the future, and I may need your help then."
Xiangyang now mainly trains modules, but will add a lot of new modules to give trainees a better space for development.
"You just want to pick up a screenwriter for nothing?" This wishful thinking is really good.
"You can do it if you want."
