Chapter 5: I Miss You
Zhong Yu took the medicine and gently walked to Zhong Bai's bedside, Zhong Bai's was resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes, and smiled happily when he saw that Zhong Yu was coming. Zhong Yu approached gently, "Mom, the medicine is ready." I'll feed you the medicine. "Ah Yu, just let the girls do these things." Zhong Baishi slowly held Zhong Yu's wrist, and the smile on his face was a little more distressed.
Zhong Yu carefully helped Zhong Bai up, erected a pillow for her to lean on, "This is different. He gently blew on the medicine spoon and sent it to Zhong Bai's mouth, "Mom, drink it." After drinking the medicine that your son made for you, you will definitely be fine. When you're ready, I'll accompany you to the theater with my eldest brother. Zhong Baishi took a sip of the medicine, looked at Zhong Yu who was scooping the medicine with a spoon, although he wanted to speak and stopped, he finally couldn't help but speak, "Over the years, I have been thinking about it, if I didn't let you leave this house and let you stay with me, would it be ......?" Then, Zhong Yu smiled silently and sent the medicine spoon to Zhong Mu's mouth, as if in the most tactful way to stop Zhong Mu's words that she wanted to continue.
"Child, Mom is ashamed of you, this guilt has always been blocked in my heart, and it tortures me every day. I'm not a good mother, if there is an afterlife, if we still have the fate to be a mother and son, I must watch you grow up by my side and give you more love......" Zhong Yu's smile gave Zhong Bai a heavy blow silently, she was even more distressed, distressed by the current Zhong Yu, and distressed by the young man who was sent away by herself in the past. Zhong Yu didn't speak, and continued to feed the medicine, but a faint light flashed in his eyes. Zhong Bai saw Zhong Yu's calm expression, and also saw the tears flashing in his eyes, so he didn't say anything more, just obediently drank the medicine that Zhong Yu fed him.
It has been a few days since Zhong Yu returned to Zhong's house, and most of them stayed at home to take care of Zhong Bai's family and never went out. On this day, Zhong Yu carefully tidied up, changed out of the long hexagram, and put on the suit he wore when he returned to Zhong's house on the first day.
Walking into the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers, Zhong Yu stopped in front of a tombstone, put the flowers in front of a tombstone, knelt down and stroked the tombstone, and talked to the tombstone with a sneering smile, "I wanted to wait until there was good news to come to see you, but because I missed you so much, I couldn't help but come to see you." Are you lonely? I'm sorry I haven't seen you in years, but even if you feel lonely, just wait. I'll come back to you when I've brought all the things you like, your favorite flowers, your favorite treats, your favorite fruits, and ...... Your favorite little wooden box. Did you miss me? I miss you very, very much...... Very, very ......" Zhong Yu's hand stroking the tombstone began to tremble, and the tears in his eyes enveloped him, and he couldn't continue...... Simply, don't talk about it anymore. Zhong Yu didn't say any more, wiped away his tears and regained his calm expression as usual, bent over and kowtowed to the tombstone, got up and left.
"Second young master, just let us come to boil the medicine. Seeing that you personally boil medicine for your wife every day, we are afraid that you will be tired. "The cook Mother Li saw Zhong Yu concentrating on fanning the fire under the medicine jar with a fan, her forehead was covered with dense fine sweat, and her face was also hot and red, she was really distressed and wanted to reach out and try to take the fan." Yes, let's boil the medicine, Second Young Master. The cook Zhang's mother also felt sorry for Zhong Yu and wanted to help Li's mother let him take a break.
Zhong Yu still continued to move in his hands, smiling and shaking his head, "You guys have worked very hard, and I won't be happy if you have to do these things." I'm not like the eldest brother, he has to be busy with the family's business, anyway, I'm free, and besides, it's right to be a son and give medicine to his mother, so what's not tiring. By the way, Mom Zhang, didn't you say that your waist was uncomfortable two days ago, I also gave you a few plasters when I took the medicine for my mother, and put it at Steward Qiu, so go and get it when you are free. "Hey, I'm really blessed by the second young master. Thank you, Second Young Master. When Mother Zhang heard Zhong Yu's words, she bowed to Zhong Yu with gratitude on her face. This is the first time that Zhang's mother has felt that she is not like a "subordinate" for the first time since she joined the Zhong family.
"I've got to get the medicine over, you guys get busy." Zhong Yu took the medicine and said hello to the cooks respectfully, without the slightest hint of the master, and the tone was purely the tone of a junior talking to the elders. Since Zhong Yu returned to the Zhong family, the girls and men of the Zhong family have all praised him, and the cooks often praise the second young master in private as a real good person, without the owner's shelf, charitable, kind and filial, unlike the eldest young master who will lose his temper......
Although Zhong Lei had never heard what people said in private, he also knew that there were some things that they couldn't let themselves hear, but he already knew what they were thinking when he looked at them with Zhong Yu's eyes and attitude when he spoke on weekdays. However, Zhong Lei didn't care what those people said about Zhong Yu and himself, first, he felt from the bottom of his bones that if he took the words of his subordinates to heart, he would only invisibly reduce his identity and status. Second, what he wants is the Zhong family, even if Zhong Yu is praised to the sky, he is the heir of the Zhong family. Zhong Yu is just a teacher in the future, and he is the one who has to deal with the Zhong family's bills, cloth, and money.
On this day, Zhong Lei was checking the list of goods in the silk village, and a young man in tattered clothes and a top hat leaned over with a hippie smile. The man's name was Ah Xiang, and he was a young man full of ruffians, but in the face of Zhong Lei, he could instantly put away all his habits and obediently stick to his side, "Young Master, I beg you to lend me some more." Zhong Lei ignored Ah Xiang's self-checking of the manifest, completely as if there was no one in front of him. Seeing Zhong Lei's attitude, Ah Xiang didn't give up, and stuck it more closely, "When I get better, I will definitely return it to you with interest." It's true! ”
As soon as Zhong Lei heard Ah Xiang's words, Zhong Yu slowed down the movements in his hand, glanced at him, and sneered: "Haha, I've heard this more than eight hundred and sixty times, and the devil knows when your luck will get better." Ah Xiang immediately hunched his waist and followed behind Zhong Lei, firmly reminding that he would follow Zhong Lei wherever he went, "This time it will definitely get better." Let me tell you, young master, I dreamed of my dead father yesterday, and those two old guys told me that I must turn over this time. Besides, the eldest young master, for my sister's sake, you can help me again for the sake of being your personal maid for so many years. Zhong Lei was really annoyed by Ah Xiang, looking at his dead-skinned face, and really felt that the pastime was very interesting, "That's okay." It's up to you to help you again in the face of your dead father, but this time the interest will have to be doubled. ”
When Ah Xiang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he grabbed Zhong Lei's hand and thanked him again and again, "Hehe, thank you, young master, thank you, young master......" Zhong Lei shook off Ah Xiang's hand with a disgusted face, and rubbed his palm sideways on the edge of the table, "Go to the account room and get the money, get out of here, don't get in the way of my eyes." "Yes, yes, yes! Get out, get out...... here" Ah Xiang replied simply, with a smile on his face that could not be concealed, he retreated again and again, bowed, and disappeared from Zhong Lei's sight.
Ah Xiang stretched out his feet and stepped out of the threshold, just as Zhong Yu entered the silk village. Zhong Yu approached and called Zhong Lei "Big Brother". Zhong Lei was very surprised when he saw Zhong Yu, and when he saw the paper scroll in his hand, his face was a little suspicious. In Zhong Lei's opinion, Zhong Yu still understands that he has never been to the Silk Village since returning to the Zhong family, and he must also know his identity. But because of this, Zhong Lei became more and more curious about how he would come over today, but he immediately put away the suspicious smile on his face and got up to meet Zhong Yu, "It's Ah Yu, why do you have time to come over today?" ”
"I'll come out to help my mother dispense medicine, and by the way, I'll send you the account book you left at home." Zhong Yu handed the scroll of paper in his hand to Zhong Lei, Xu is Zhong Lei's hidden expression was too fast, except for the smile on Zhong Lei's face, Zhong Yu didn't see anything. "Look at my brain, I don't know if I left the ledger at home. Thank you" Zhong Lei took the account book and put it on the wooden case, ready to send Zhong Yu away, but Zhong Yu still stood in place and had no intention of leaving. "Big brother, on the way here, I looked through it and found some problems." Zhong Yu said, naturally leaning forward. Zhong Lei was stunned for a moment, but he immediately looked at Zhong Yu as if nothing had happened, "Yes, let's hear it." "Hmm." Zhong Yu nodded and opened the account book very seriously, "The price of the Xiangyun yarn we bought recorded in the account was the old price three years ago, and the purchase price of this material had not been raised at that time, but now the price of this material has been raised by foreigners, so the cost of our purchase has also risen." So, judging from the ledger, we have made a profit, but in fact we have lost a lot. ”
Zhong Lei looked at Zhong Yu while flipping through a few pages of the ledger, casually slammed the ledger on the table, and patted his head with a sudden realization, "That's right, I'm also trying to change it." It's just that I forgot about it when I was busy. Come on, Ah Yu, it's rare for you to come over, let's have a drink. "Another day, big brother." Zhong Lei was a little embarrassed to refuse Zhong Lei, I still have to take the prescription to grab the medicine. Besides, the eldest brother is so busy, I won't bother you, I'll go first. "It's okay, I have business to talk about in a moment. Then you go first, be careful on the road. Zhong Lei didn't hold on too much, and sent Zhong Yu in the direction of the door.
Zhong Lei leaned against the door frame, watching Zhong Yu gradually walk away, the gentle expression on Zhong Yu's face when he was there completely dissipated in an instant, replaced by full disdain, "This kid is really not a vegetarian, I think he studied business in Japan." This is deliberately not letting me make private money, if you make more and more pleasing to the old lady, then I didn't give you the family property for nothing. ”
