Wake up（294）

 

294

 

Nanyangsheng, Wanru, Cheng Yenan, and Sun Aijun set off from Xinyang Station, and they took the long-distance bus to Lingnan Town.

Nan Yangsheng sat by the window, Wanru snuggled up to his shoulder and dozed off. In sweet feelings is not necessarily love. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not necessarily the harbor where you want to anchor. Some people are destined to wait for others, and some people are destined to be waited for.

Nan Yangsheng walked out of the window, but he was silently thinking about his adoptive mother He Zhonglan in his heart. Maybe there will be many such encounters in life, but we can only choose to pass by, just like leaves, the process of growing and falling is just a lonely cycle. Before every sincere narrative or memory, life is a dilemma.

After graduating from Nanyangsheng University, he only went home once, because he couldn’t find a job, and then went to Wuhan with the recommendation and help of his friend He Weiqun. He worked as a psychologist in a private Shizhen Hospital. Not long after he went there, the epidemic broke out in Wuhan. Became a volunteer in the shelter hospital. Unexpectedly, after the closure of Wuhan, He Weiqun's mother died of illness, and his father committed suicide. He Weiqun hated the mainland's epidemic prevention policy very much, so he planned and mobilized Nanyang Sheng to abscond and went to Hong Kong.

Nan Yangsheng got a job in Hong Kong, but he didn't forget his adoptive mother and younger siblings, and he didn't forget He Jiafu, the grandfather who adopted his mother.

Nan Yangsheng once answered a phone call from his younger sister Nan Liwa in Hong Kong, who told him that his mother was seriously ill. Nan Yangsheng was very depressed, and the pain in his heart far outweighed the injuries on his body. He didn't want to cry, even if he bit his lip, he hoped to hold it back.

Nan Yangsheng was at a loss when he received the call.

Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor who has immigrated to Hong Kong, persuaded Nan Yangsheng to go back to his hometown to see his mother's condition. At the same time, he hoped that he would bring He Jiafu to Hong Kong for retirement. He Jiafu was an old comrade-in-arms of Chai Jianhua when he was young.

Nan Yangsheng's good friend Cheng Yenan happened to have a business in Henan, and his job was to act as an intermediary for mainlanders to emigrate to Hong Kong. Cheng Yenan said to Nanyangsheng: I will accompany you to visit the two old men and your younger siblings.

So Cheng Yenan brought his girlfriend Sun Aijun, Nan Yangsheng brought his female alumnus Wanru, and the four young people embarked on a trip to the mainland.

The only thing Nanyangsheng can do now is to hope to see his sick mother and elderly grandfather He Jiafu soon.

After a long journey, Nanyangsheng and his party finally came to Lingnan Town. Nanyangsheng is no stranger to his hometown. He and his three companions walked straight to the clinic of old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua, which had already been closed. When Chai Jianhua moved to Hong Kong, he handed over the clinic to Nan Liwa, Nan Yangsheng's sister.

Nan Yangsheng and his party came to this clinic, but they didn't see Nan Liwa.

At this time, in front of the house next to the clinic, there were a few old people sitting in front of the house chatting. The old people saw the young people in front of them and looked at them curiously. One of the old men recognized Nan Yangsheng, so he stood up and greeted Nan Yangsheng: "Wow, you are Yangsheng, why did you come here suddenly today? You don't know me anymore, I am Brother Li Tao, and I often come to Chai The doctor sees a doctor here, and your grandfather He Jiafu and I are good friends."

Nan Yangsheng remembered: "Uncle Li, a few friends and I just came here from Hong Kong to visit my grandfather and mother. I don't know where my sister Nan Liwa is?"

When Uncle Li and the old people heard that these young people were from Hong Kong, they all stared wide-eyed and curious.

A middle-aged woman quickly brought two bamboo chairs and a bench, and said, "Sit, sit. Sit down and talk."

The middle-aged woman is called the third aunt, and the third aunt said: "Liwa seldom lives here, and the clinic has been closed for a long time."

"What about my mother and grandfather?" Nan Yangsheng asked.

Uncle Li said that before the outbreak, it was one afternoon in August. Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor, was arrested and taken to the police station. Do you know why? It was to stand up for He Jiafu, a comrade-in-arms who had his leg broken in the bombing.

Uncle Li said to Nan Yangsheng: Your grandfather He Jiafu dragged one leg and set up a medicinal herb stall at that time. Because the stall was too open, the urban management was very cruel to him, kicked the stall, fined him, and beat him. That day, Chai Jianhua was chatting with He Jiafu. In a fit of rage, Chai Jianhua beat up the bastard Chengguan. When the police station heard the news, they came to arrest Chai Jianhua. He Jiafu hugged Chai Jianhua desperately to prevent the police from taking him away. At that time, he was crying helplessly. This is a pair of comrades-in-arms who were fearless on the battlefield. They lived so sadly in order to survive.

Chai Jianhua was released after being locked up for 3 hours, because a policeman surnamed Zheng knew that Chai Jianhua was a well-known old doctor of Chinese medicine.

Uncle Li said that after this toss, Chai Jianhua decided to go to Hong Kong to develop. One of his comrades in the Republic of China opened Zheng Rong Pharmacy in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Someone from Hong Kong contacted me. Before Chai Jianhua went to Hong Kong, he paid a special visit to your grandfather He Jiafu, gave him 3,000 yuan, and told him to live a good life, and told him not to be afraid, at worst we die again.

Nan Yangsheng was very surprised when he heard what Uncle Li said. His grandfather He Jiafu and old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua never told him about these things.

Uncle Li said that after Chai Jianhua went to Hong Kong, He Jiafu cried secretly many times. His mood became very depressed.

Because of poverty, He Jiafu lost another leg and was unable to marry a wife in his life. When Chai Jianhua was there, Neizi picked some Chinese herbal medicines and sold them at a stall. When Chai Jianhua went to Hong Kong, he set up a fruit stand and lived a difficult life. I often bought his fruit, and I always lied to him at that time: I want to buy a lot of fruit to send to customers, so I will buy all his fruit. He smiled happily. Seeing him smile makes me feel at ease.

At this time, the third aunt interjected: Later, when the epidemic broke out, the clinic left by Chai Jianhua was closed, and Nan Liwa could no longer operate it, so she went to work in the city. In order to make a living, your grandfather He Jiafu went to the town to set up a stall to sell fruit. Is it easy for an old man in his 90s to earn money by setting up a stall? So your younger brother Nanshan Yun often accompanied the old man to the town.

The third aunt said again: Your mother kept coughing, and it was said that she had positive symptoms, and she was sent to the shelter hospital. There was no treatment at all, and she died there. At that time she was very old and looked like a 70-year-old lady. I usually have been silently concerned about her. But she entered the shelter hospital, and we couldn't see each other again. Your mother left suddenly, and everyone in the village knew about it. The relic she left behind is actually the military medal issued by your grandfather He Jiafu during the War of Resistance Against Japan. There is also a letter written to Chai Jianhua among the relics. Only then did the villagers know that your grandfather He Jiafu and the old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua were comrades-in-arms. They are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. How much can modern young people know about this kind of "life and death love"?

Uncle Li said that although people in the village knew about these things, no one discriminated against your grandfather. On the contrary, more people will sympathize with and help your grandpa.

The third aunt interrupted and said: After your mother passed away, we didn’t close the city here. Your brother Nanshan Yun pushed a small wooden cart and accompanied your grandfather to the town to sell some fruits. After arriving in the town, your brother went to the toilet. up. At this time, a group of urban management came up and forcibly overturned the wooden cart, and the fruits on the cart were scattered all over the ground. It is useless for He Jiafu to ask for help. Suddenly, the vice-captain of urban management said: "I know this bad old man. His daughter recently became positive and died in the shelter hospital. I think I sent this bad old man to the shelter for a nucleic acid test. We can't let him infect us with the disease."

After the vice-captain of urban management finished speaking, several urban management came up and started to attack He Jiafu, trying to take him to the shelter hospital. At this time, Nan Shanyun just came back after untying his hands. After seeing this scene, he immediately clashed with the urban management. The urban management wanted to scuffle him. Push the wooden frame truck to the front of the urban management, and the wooden frame truck is like a rolling wheel entering the urban management and crushing it. The city manager was frightened. Nan Shanyun helped He Jiafu who had fallen to the ground.

Nan Shanyun carried He Jiafu all the way home. Within a few days, He Jiafu died. You left, with all my love, just a word to break up. I held back tears and looked at your back, really wanted to hug you one last time, really wanted to say "I love you" to you once again. Nan Shanyun finally sank into endless sadness.

After Nan Shanyun and Nan Liwa hadtily buried their grandfather He Jiafu, they disappeared.

Nan Yangsheng was very sad when he heard the news.

Uncle Li hesitated for a while and told Nan Yangsheng that not long after this happened, he heard that the vice-captain of urban management had been killed. Then, Nanshan Cloud disappeared. It was rumored that the vice-captain was killed by Nan Shanyun. But I don't believe it.

The third aunt added: I heard that Nan Liwa is still in the town, and someone has seen her. I suggest you go to town and ask, and you may be able to find her.

At this time, Cheng Yenan said to Nanyangsheng and Wanru that the third aunt was right, we might as well stay in the town for a few days and find Nanliwa.

Uncle Li said to Nan Yangsheng: When you arrive in the town, you can look for Wang Wu first. Wang Wu is a good friend of Nanshan Yun. He is very famous in the town. If you ask, someone will tell you his address.

After Nanyang thanked Uncle Li and the third aunt, the group of four walked towards the town along the path. Along the way, Nanyangsheng was very sad. When the last note of life sounded and the miss was forced to end, no matter how beautiful the memory is, it must be written to end the pain. However, this does not herald an end, but rather a continuation of another sorrow.
