Chapter 38: Death
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find you a particularly good son-in-law in this life, and my daughter will definitely live happily."
Zhou Lanping raised his weak hand and touched his daughter's head when he heard the words: "My Qiu'er is so sensible now, I believe that Qiu'er will definitely find a husband who is better than Gao Shu, Qiu'er, Mom is actually the most worried about your father." ”
"Mom, don't worry, Dad has me, I'll take care of Daddy."
Zhou Lanping shook his head: "I know your dad too well, he knows his thoughts with one action and one expression, Qiu'er, you promise your mother, when your mother leaves, your father. If there is a suitable one, you must not stop it, Mom doesn't want to watch your dad live alone. ”
"Mom" Dad was alone in his last life.
"Zhou Lanping, what did you say to your daughter?"
Lu Jingqiu didn't know when her father came back, and after listening to it for a long time, she turned her head and saw her father's angry face.
When he heard it, Zhou Lanping didn't explain, and said to his daughter: "Qiu'er, mom wants to eat the hand-rolled noodles you made." ”
Lu Jingqiu hurriedly wiped her tears, put down the cat and stood up: "Okay, I'll do it." ”
She also knew that her mother was deliberately trying to break her away.
Lu Jingqiu didn't know what her parents were going to say, so she carried the vegetables that her father bought back into the kitchen, and it is estimated that her mother had a premonition and always said something sad recently.
Lu Jingqiu, who was washing vegetables, thought about her mother's state in the past few days, and instantly thought of something, turned her head to look at her parents' bedroom, and didn't know what to do, even if she knew it in advance, no matter how hard she worked, the miracle didn't appear after all.
While Lu Jingqiu was washing the vegetables, the tears in her eyes had melted into the vegetable basin with sadness, and the tears on her face could not be wiped clean.
The weather was gloomy and windy outside, so my mother didn't eat the hand-rolled noodles she made.
He walked quietly and with a smile on his face.
The funeral was done by the uncle-in-law and the second cousin, and the eldest cousin also rushed back on the last day.
She and her aunt didn't know how many times they cried and fainted, and her father was like losing his soul, he didn't cry, he didn't make trouble, he was very calm, and the calm was a little abnormal.
"She's no longer suffering from illness, it's better to be gone." On the day of the funeral, he used these words to comfort his farewell relatives and friends, as if he didn't know that he was the one who should be comforted the most, Lu Jingqiu felt distressed when he looked at it.
By the time all this calmed down, it was already half a month later.
After Mom was buried, Dad was sick too.
Lu Jingqiu locked herself upstairs and immersed herself in remorse and pain all day long.
I felt that it was pointless to live again, and my mother still didn't save me. Their Lu family didn't open the door for a few days and walked out, and everyone was afraid that something would happen.
My aunt came over from time to time, sent some food, and enlightened her and her father.
Aunt Liu was close, and she also came to enlighten her, not far from Grandma Zhang, Grandpa Wang, Aunt Cuihua, and Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao.
Even Uncle Zheng and Uncle Yang came over to persuade Dad to think about it and get out of his grief quickly.
The family members brought things to persuade her, and after more than half a month, Lu Jingqiu's mood was not so depressed.
Lu Xianrun's illness slowly recovered, and he was done ideological work by everyone, so in order not to let himself be decadent, he went to the army for training, and there happened to be a military exercise to go to other places.
Leaving Lu Jingqiu alone to guard the empty house, this time she missed the opportunity to take the college entrance examination again, and when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came down, it was the second day of her mother's death, and she was immersed in grief at that time, she didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so she missed the time to register.
She doesn't regret it, nothing in this world is more important than her mother.
So when others are nervously preparing for the exam, they are immersed in the days when their mother is away.
She also figured it out, her mother can't come back, she can't change it if she is sad, without her mother, she can't lose her father, knowing that her father has lost a lot of weight these days, she has to make up for her father.
The family began to get on fire, and the days slowly entered the normal, it doesn't matter if she misses the college entrance examination, she didn't catch up this year, and there is the next year, she must go to college in this life.
It wasn't until the first snow of winter began that the first day of the college entrance examination began.
Zhang Miao also brought her good news on this day, and came to her house in the snow: "The picture book of the little hero of the Anti-Japanese War sold very well, and our president felt that you could not flow into other people's pockets, na, I am willing to accept you, an educated youth, and you will be a member of a painting and editing department of our publishing house in the future." ”
Lu Jingqiu was clever, but she didn't expect that she would really wait: "Really? Does the society really want me? ”
"Of course, the club has made seven or eight picture books this year, and the two copies you participated in will sell well, and the president said that you may have a koi physique and can make money for our company, but for the time being, you are an external editor, and the salary is lower than the two of them."
Hearing this, Lu Jingqiu smiled, she still knew in her heart whether she could attract money or not, but it was a surprise to be recognized by the publishing house: "It's okay, you are willing to accept me, when can I go to work?" ”
"Tomorrow, there will be more than half a month of vacation, familiar with the environment before the year, and busy after the year."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
After sending Zhang Miao away, Lu Jingqiu happily jumped on the spot several times, holding Huahua and turning around several times.
Regardless of the snow outside, I ran to the army to find my father.
This is the first time Lu Xianrun has seen his daughter smile so happily since his wife passed away, and said while pulling him into the office: "I met something good, so happy." ”
"Dad, the Children's Publishing House has accepted me, and I will be the art editor of the publishing house in the future, you see." Lu Jingqiu took out the receiving documents and shared them with her father.
Lu Xianrun looked at the name and unit on it, and patted his daughter's head with satisfaction: "Hehe, this is indeed good news, my Qiu'er finally has a job." ”
"Well, Dad, I'm going to work tomorrow, let's have something good to eat today."
Lu Xianrun raised his eyebrows and said, "The cafeteria killed a pig today, and Dad knows that you like to eat pig's intestine the most." As he spoke, he looked at the table below, saw that the time was about the same, and pulled his daughter and said, "Let's go, take the lunch box, let's go to the cafeteria." ”
"Okay."
The father and daughter ate with a boxed lunch, and just after walking two steps, they met Political Commissar Yang and Chief of General Staff Zheng, who also held a boxed lunch in their hands, and saw Lu Jingqiu and said, "Jingqiu, did your father tell you that there is something delicious in the canteen today?" ”
"Uncle Zheng, my dad is not that kind of person, if I hadn't come over, I wouldn't have known that there was delicious food in the cafeteria today."
Political Commissar Yang said: "Jingqiu rarely comes here, why did she come here today?" ”
"Uncle Yang, I got a job and can't wait to share it with my dad."
Political Commissar Yang said: "Work, what unit?" ”
"Juvenile and Children's Press."
Chief of Staff Zheng patted Lu Xianrun's shoulder and said, "Old Lu, your family Jingqiu has the ability, and she can't look down on the unit you found for her, no, she found a job with her ability. Jingqiu, you love to paint, we heard from your father, it's amazing. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for the compliment."
"Go, go, uncle and uncle will take you."
Lu Xianrun said with a smile: "Qiu'er, follow the two leaders, and you can definitely eat better." ”
Political Commissar Yang said: "Look, Lao Zheng, Lao Lu's fox is blatantly calculating with us." ”
"Haha, we haven't won in his hands, it's blatantly good."
Lu Jingqiu looked at the smile on her father's face, and she was also happy in her heart, she was afraid that her father had not come out in the sadness of her mother's departure.
Just like in the previous life, after my mother was gone, my father became less smiling and didn't like to go out to socialize.
It's rare for Dad to take her to the cafeteria to eat, and all she sees in the canteen are soldiers, and that righteousness will really make people feel better.
On the way home with her father, Lu Xianrun told her a lot about how to deal with people, get along with colleagues after work, and so on, and she never heard her father's teachings in her previous life.
In this life, I have patiently listened to my father's teachings, and I have repeatedly promised that I have kept them in my heart.
Looking at such a sensible daughter, Lu Xianrun sighed regretfully: "If your mother is still here, she will definitely be happy to see such a Qiu'er." ”
Lu Jingqiu said: "My mother will definitely see it in the sky, she said it, she will protect me over there, and I promised my mother to find her an excellent son-in-law." Mom and Dad would love to see us happy. ”
How could Lu Xianrun not understand what his daughter meant, pursed his lips and smiled, in order not to worry his daughter, he also promised: "I didn't protect her well, Dad feels sorry for your mother, your mother likes me to hold her hand the most, walk slowly, do nothing, just keep walking, at that time in Shili Village, she was very happy."
But Dad will adapt little by little to the days without your mother, and in the future, we will be left with our father and daughter. Although he was smiling, Lu Jingqiu saw all sadness.
"Well, it's just the two of us." Lost her mother in her last life, she didn't come out for a long time, although she tried very hard to keep her mother in this life, but God still made her lose her mother, although she could accompany her mother for a short few months, she was already very self-sufficient, and the days to come will be sunny.
In winter, in the cold and biting snowy night, the father and daughter snuggled up to each other, filled with warmth.
Dear book friends, Jingqiu's mother is offline here, and I've read too much of the text of the rebirth counterattack, maybe some book friends can't accept this ending, but if you have this disease, no matter where you are, you can't resist it, the heroine has no space, and there is no spiritual spring water or anything, she is just an ordinary little girl who can't be in an ordinary place, and some things can't be reversed.
