Life and death and reincarnation are the two eternal themes of life.

No one knows whether there is reincarnation or not, so people always want to live as long as possible and live better when they are alive.

Lin Xiaoxiao is naturally the same, but if you want to live a little more to pursue the legendary ethereal immortality? I'm sorry, but she's not that interested, and she's been reborn once, so she still has some belief in the idea of soul reincarnation.

Because of this, she feels that she can see a lot more than ordinary people can see life and death.

So, after Gu Lao sent off his old man when he was eighty years old, the Lin family ushered in the death of another person, and Lin Xiaoxiao did not feel any surprise.

This person is none other than Second Uncle Lin, who is a few years younger than Dad Lin.

is not yet sixty years old, because of cancer, almost completely took away most of his energy, the whole person is much older, and he looks a little older than Dad Lin, who is traveling around and relying on his old age.

After getting the news, Lin's father and Lin's mother took Lin Xiaoxiao and his wife to the hospital together, and the two little naughty bags at home were thrown to Su Xing, who was a grandfather.

After saying hello when she entered the door, Lin Xiaoxiao accompanied her eldest sister Lin Li and second sister Lin Liang to the corridor with Su Qingyu and Lin Ma, leaving only Lin Dad and Second Uncle Lin inside.

"Where's your mother? What about cooking at home? "Second Uncle Lin was just found out a few days ago, and many people have advanced cancer when they are found out. After knowing the news, the second uncle completely collapsed at once, and the whole person's spirit collapsed within a few days.

Seeing Lin Ma ask, Lin Liang tilted her head sideways and pursed her lips, Lin Li's face was embarrassed for a while, and she sighed: "My mother...... I'm not in good health these days, so I'm resting at home. ”

Mother Lin nodded, and didn't think much about it: "Also, your mother is also old, and it is not good to toss her body like this all day." ”

The two cousins nodded.

A few people were chatting with each other, when Dad Lin pushed the door and came out: "Xiaoxiao, your second uncle let you in." ”

"Huh? I? Lin Xiaoxiao wondered for a while, and told himself to go in?? Shouldn't you call your own daughter or something? Do you know him so well?

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao asking, Dad Lin nodded, indicating that she understood correctly.

Pretending to be puzzled, Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the room.

Although he had already seen it just now, when he came in again and saw the second uncle's thin face, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Father Lin and Aunt Lin are somewhat fat, and the second uncle is usually too, this should be the inheritance of the Lin family, so it is normal for Lin Xiaoxiao to be a little chubby in her previous life. And now, Second Uncle Lin, who was originally rich, has become thin and thin.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao walking in, Second Uncle Lin opened his mouth, and then closed it again, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Second uncle, you called me?" No matter what kind of thoughts or dissatisfaction she has with this person, Lin Xiaoxiao must have the due courtesy to her elders.

"You ......" opened his mouth, and Second Uncle Lin still had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Lin Xiaoxiao wondered, not knowing what he wanted to say, so he had to stand in front of the hospital bed and wait.

Wait, wait, wait until Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at the time on the phone for the third time, and then Second Uncle Lin spoke: "You...... Is it the apprentice of the master of Chinese painting Gu Chengyun? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why he asked himself to go in.

Gu Lao has passed away, and when he died, many people came to mourn this contemporary master, plus the reporter's report, presumably the second uncle also heard about it at that time, right?

There is no need to mention this kind of thing when others don't ask, but there is no need for others to deny it when they ask, so Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

The second uncle suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart: "How did you know this master?" Did Awakening introduce it to you? In his heart, he always thought that the development of the Lin family was due to the awakening of father and son, and Lin Xiaoxiao followed Gu Lao to learn painting, which should also be the result of this big businessman looking for someone to deal with.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, frowned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Do you remember when I was four years old, I painted a statue of Guanyin to celebrate my grandmother's birthday?" ”

Second Uncle Lin may not remember other things after so many years, but this matter is stuck in his heart like a thorn, and he can't forget it if he wants to, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao say this, he nodded.

"It's that painting, when I took it to be framed, I was seen by Gu Lao and Teacher Zhang, and the two of them took me as an apprentice when I went to get the painting. That year, Uncle Su and Qingyu had not yet returned to China. It's not that Lin Xiaoxiao wants to deliberately stimulate him, but his thoughts are really uncomfortable.

What he knows by himself must be his own talent, and if he doesn't meet Bole, Bole's eyes are not good, and others have to rely on rich and powerful relatives and friends to get Bole's favor?

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that her explanatory language was not offensive at all, and it should not have any bad impact on the patient, right? Unless he has to think about it himself.

The second uncle's body trembled, and his eyes were full of shock. When he learned that Lin Xiaoxiao was Gu Lao's apprentice, he saw Su Qingyu standing by her side, so over the years, he had always thought that she was able to worship Gu Lao as a teacher because of the light of the Su family, and he comforted himself like this, and now he ......

"What you said about Teacher Zhang is ......"

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned, she thought that the second uncle had seen in the newspaper that he was Gu Lao's apprentice, although he didn't mention his full name, but he also mentioned that he was Zhang Guangqi's apprentice?

didn't think much about it, so he told him directly: "Teacher Zhang Guangqi." ”

Second Uncle Lin opened his mouth again, his lips trembled, and asked suspiciously, "Then you...... Why aren't you drawing? With such a powerful teacher, your paintings should be very valuable, huh? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing: "I only paint for hobbies, I don't want to use it to make money." "Your paintings are already valuable, okay? I just don't want to buy it, but I don't know how many people have given it away and hung it in the Laughing Pavilion to be watched.

Not for money, just for fun?

This idea seems to have been had when I was very young, when I was just learning to paint, but after so many years of sinking, I have long since reversed the hopes, expectations, and dreams of my youth, all of which have been worn out and replaced by a desire to compare fame and money.

That is, rich people will say that learning this kind of thing is just for hobbies.

Second Uncle Lin slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Lin Xiaoxiao estimated that he might be tired and wanted to rest, so he withdrew from the room.

The two sisters sent Lin's father and Lin's mother out of the hospital gate, and then turned around and left, and the four members of the Lin family got in the car and went home.

"I heard Lin Liang say just now that her mother beat his father and stayed in the hospital for two days, and then she called out that she was tired, saying that she was not feeling well and couldn't cook by herself at home, so that her sisters and sons took turns here all day to take care of her father, and they had to go home every day to cook for her mother." Mother Lin got into the car and muttered to Father Lin in a low voice.

Dad Lin snorted, his younger brother is about to die, and if he doesn't take care of this wife, it's over, and he still tosses the two children?

"I told them that if they can't do it, they will hire a nanny to watch her mother at home, and other people's children still have to go to work, and they are tired enough to go to the hospital in shifts all day, and they have to go back to see her?"

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Dad Lin asked with a frown.

"Back pain, I've been shouting for a few years, who knows if it's a real illness or a fake illness."

Don't say that Lin's mother doesn't know, and Lin's father doesn't know, because every time the Chinese New Year comes, when these two people come to the house, they will inevitably get the same result, and the most common reason is that they are unwell and sick. Although I don't know if it's true or not, the second aunt of the family says that she has back pain every time, so she has to understand it as true.

It's just that people's back pain will affect their travel for the New Year, but it will not affect their ability to go to work.

A week later, Second Uncle Lin was gone, and Second Aunt Lin looked sad, she sat on the bed when she was at home, and sat in the car when she saw off on the road, and stood in the funeral home for a while, and then found a place to sit. The howling sound was not small, but the handkerchief in his hand was not wet from beginning to end.

Sometimes Lin Xiaoxiao wonders a little in her heart, she has always wondered, what are these two people interested in? What do you like? What are your hobbies? Who will it be good for?

I thought about it many times, but I didn't come to a conclusion once, and now that I think about it, there should be only one truth, and that is - themselves.

Whether it is the second uncle or the second aunt, they are actually the same people, so that when two people with strange personalities get together, there is only one result that can be obtained, only good for themselves, and people other than themselves, including children, are not important to themselves. So the second uncle is gone, and the second aunt doesn't seem to feel sad at all. And what about the second uncle? Presumably, if the second aunt walked in front of him, he should be the same.

A few days later, Second Uncle Lin passed away at the age of 57.
