The spring scenery is beautiful, using the most gentle way to quietly evaporate the coldness of the world and soothe the wrinkles of the human heart. These words may seem very literary, but this is how Lin Fei feels at this moment.
"Xiao Bei, after I moved here, I felt that the world had become wider for some reason. In our industry, we often encounter a lot of heart-wrenching things. In the past, I had to digest them for a long time, and sometimes I would suffer from insomnia.
.”
The spring tea exuded a unique fragrance. Lin Fei took a sip of the warm green tea and said with a smile: "Since I moved here, I have never been depressed for more than an hour. The day I came back from filming this film,
It happened that there was thunder and lightning at night, and it was on the lake in the distance. I sat here and watched with a cup of hot tea. After drinking a cup of tea, I felt so comfortable all over my body, and I really felt that my mind had broadened a lot."
Sitting here, looking at the infinite openness of the lake and the sky in the distance, I have to say that the depression of being forced to fall in love by parents' tricks does not seem so annoying anymore. Lu Beicen couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Lin Fei stroked his forehead: "Oh, you think I'm getting older now, and I tend to go too far. In fact, the child would not have survived. He was born in the Affiliated Hospital of W University in the early morning of that day. He was diagnosed with serious illness after birth.
Malformations, congenital absence of one ear, malformation of the great arteries, biliary atresia, urethral atresia, anal atresia, there is absolutely no way to save it."
Lu Beicen was surprised: "Is it so serious? Didn't you have a prenatal check-up?"
Lin Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's right. Young people are ignorant. They think that they are only in their early twenties and there will be no problems. They are too lazy to queue up in the hospital to wait for examinations. Except for one examination when I was just pregnant, I didn't do any other examinations.
I've done it, and the elderly at home think it's fine. The pregnant woman can eat, drink, stay healthy, and give birth naturally. Who knew it would end like this."
"Then how could it be thrown directly into the lake? Logically, the hospital should handle it."
"Generally, the hospital will ask for the opinion of the family members of this type of baby. After giving up treatment, the baby is allowed to be taken away. However, if it is not taken away, it will be handled by the hospital. It may be placed on the crib next to the mother before she dies.
The girl’s parents felt that waiting for their daughter to wake up would be unbearable.”
"The man's relatives took the child out of the hospital. They felt it was unlucky and didn't want to take it home, so they gave a little money and asked a cleaner to take it away and help him deal with it. The cleaner was not very clear-headed, so he threw it into the lake.
Well, actually the baby hadn’t really died at that time.”
"In the end, the man's relative and the cleaner were sentenced together for negligent death. The cleaner lived in a shed next to the garbage transfer station. He was so pitiful that he looked miserable when he handed down the sentence.
I sigh, but what can I do? This is what the law stipulates."
Lu Beicen was about to speak when the phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, it was Wei Ye. Although he was familiar with it now, he didn't seem to be familiar enough to call during breaks, right? He answered it with doubts, then
Bian started shouting: "Boss Lu, where are you?"
"What are you doing, you want to invite me to dinner?" Lu Beicen asked directly without any politeness.
"Yeah, you have a wonderful plan. Let's gather together at night to celebrate and feel proud. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. I just called Boss Wen and she asked me to ask you." Wei Ye's voice was full of excitement.
Uncontrollable excitement.
Lu Beicen glanced at Lin Fei and simply turned on the speakerphone: "What's a good thing that makes you so excited?"
"Didn't you appeal to me last time? Today, the brother of the person involved said that the sentence was changed. A vice-dean went to their house in person to apologize. The man gave him 300,000 yuan. How about that? It's worth celebrating, right?"
"I thought you picked up 300,000 yuan for nothing!" Lu Beicen said while looking at Lin Fei for her opinion.
"Boss Lu is so arrogant. He won't even come out to invite you to dinner. Hurry up and give me a nice word!"
When Lu Beicen saw Lin Fei smiling and nodding, he motioned for her to speak up. Lin Fei didn't hold her hand, but directly joked: "Boss Wei, the listener has a share in such a good thing, so just asking for help is not enough!"
Wei Ye immediately recognized that it was Lin Fei's voice, and quickly said: "Ha, Sister Lin, it turns out you two are together. Come on, come on, come together. I was afraid that you wouldn't come."
"Where to eat?" Lu Beicen asked.
"Boss Wen asked for crayfish. Let's go to the shop downstairs from Teacher Du's house. I'll call Teacher Du and invite Teacher Li as well." Wei Ye said directly.
"Hey, Boss Wei is preparing to make some blood today. The crayfish are not cheap right now. Don't make you cry." Lu Beicen joked with a smile.
"Hey, it's rare. I'm so happy, so I just said that. I'll continue to call people."
Wei Ye hung up the phone, Lin Fei looked at Lu Beicen and said with a smile: "I think it is superfluous for him to invite anyone. It is best to call Sister Changhong. I heard her call that day, and she directly handed the materials to the High Court.
Already..."
When Lu Beicen heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. It was no wonder. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Changhong is really fierce. I guess Wei Ye doesn't dare to scream. Look at his attitude of blaming the sky and the earth.
His character turns into a little sheep as soon as he is in front of Sister Changhong."
"It's good. Our original producer in the news department was too hot-tempered, so he made the editor-in-chief jump all over the place. If Mr. Qi hadn't been suppressing him, he would have been in a hurry." Lin Fei said with a smile.
"It's quite interesting. You see, our Mr. Tang is like a literary man. Mr. Yang paired him with a fierce female general. Your Mr. Qi has a more strong character, so the producer should be more polite." Lu Beicen thought of the people on both sides.
With the combination, I feel that Mr. Yang is the real person.
Lu Beicen called home to report. Jiang Yunjin hung up the phone and started muttering to Lu Xusheng: "Look, look, you can't push this matter. After finally coming back, if you push her, she might as well hide again."
Go out and never come back at night."
Lu Xusheng comforted Jiang Yunjin: "Then don't rush me. When the children grow up, they have their own ideas. They can live how they want to live. It's better to marry as many people as you want. It's not a big deal to be single. It's not like what we used to do before.
It’s the same, if a big girl doesn’t get married, people will gossip about her. Nowadays, people can tolerate it. The key is that as long as she is happy, we can be mentally prepared to let nature take its course."
…
Lu Beicen drove back to Fangjiaji according to his memory. His adoptive mother Yu Guoqin originally lived in a demolition resettlement house in the city, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly moved back to the Fang family's old house.
The old house in Fangjiaji was about to fall down a few years ago. Yu Guoqin thought over and over again and spent some money to rebuild it. Later, the factory area was expropriated and the houses in the factory had to be demolished. It would take two or three years for the resettlement houses to be occupied.
, Yu Guoqin spent some more money to simply renovate the old house so that it could be lived in. He moved back to the house until the resettlement house was ready, and then moved back to the city.
According to what Yu Guoqin told Lu Beicen on the phone, the resettlement housing area is full of new buildings. There are parks and markets, and the transportation is convenient. There are also a group of old men and women who dance square dances and play mahjong together. They live well.
It's so comfortable, I don't know why I suddenly moved back.
As soon as Lu Beicen arrived at the intersection of his home in the market town, he saw Yu Guoqin sitting in a small shop at the intersection. He craned his neck to look at the road. Finally he saw his daughter's head sticking out of a car and calling her mother loudly, which made her laugh.
The wrinkles at the corners of my eyes are piling up...
Yu Guoqin got in the car, and Lu Beicen said angrily: "Mom, you told me to just wait for me at home. I know the road, but you still don't believe it."
It was almost a year since I last saw my daughter. Yu Guoqin couldn't think of anything else and just kept smiling: "Okay, it's good to know each other. Let's go home quickly. The chicken soup is stewed at home. I'll cook a fish for you. By the way, I'll do it today."
I also went to the pond to pick some soft hagi and made soft hagi cakes with black sesame candy filling, which you like best..."
Lu Beicen listened to her adoptive mother counting down what she had to eat today as she had countless times before. The endless warmth in her heart spread to her limbs and bones, and she felt at ease. Her adoptive mother's love for her was reflected in such a porridge and a meal.
The simplicity is so heart-warming.
I drove the car to the road in front of my small courtyard and parked it. The location of this old house is really good. In the middle of this large village, there is a road at the door, which has been paved with cement. In front of it is a
The small square is used as a drying ground during busy farming times. There is a pond next to it and open fertile fields in the distance.
Going up from the back of the house is a mountain, and behind the hills are mountains, one after another. My adoptive mother likes to go to the mountains to pick wild tea and fry it in the morning. The tea she fry has a special fragrance. Lu Beicen
No matter when you smell it, you can immediately tell it. During the long time without the adoptive mother, the fragrance seems to have merged into the smell of the mother...
By the time Lu Beicen had moved the luggage, the gifts his parents had given him, and the clothes he bought for his adoptive mother into the courtyard, Yu Guoqin had already deftly made this year's spring tea and handed it to Lu Beicen: "
Take a break, it’s convenient for a girl to drive such a long distance by herself, but that’s what scares me..."
"Mom, please sit down for a while. I'm good at driving and I drive slowly, so don't worry." The aroma of tea entered Lu Beicen's nose, and he started to salivate after smelling it.
"You sit down while I cook. Are you hungry? How about I fry two soft hagi cakes for you to eat first." Yu Guoqin began to stuff pine branches into the stove to heat up the fire.
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. Didn't I hear Ah Hao say you had a sprained foot a year ago? Why are you going to the mountains to pick tea again?" Lu Beicen looked at his adoptive mother who was reddened by the firelight.
Face, he consciously walked over and sat down next to his adoptive mother.
My adoptive mother always has an air of simplicity that is like sunshine and a little warm. It is hard to describe, but just like her, she dresses simply and plainly, but is neat and elegant.
"I'm fine. I've been fine for a long time. I just accidentally got stepped on when I was dancing, and then I sprained my ankle. I'll be fine in a few days. Can you still make a fire? Don't burn yourself." Yu Guoqin
Watching the fire start to burn, he handed the tongs to his daughter and stood up to cook.
"Mom, it's not convenient for you to use gas alone. You have to collect firewood every day to burn firewood. It's so inconvenient." Lu Beicen moved his butt to the small stool in the middle and looked at the fire like he did when he was a child, while chatting with his adoptive mother.
Touching the sky.
"I am a simple person. This is not because you are back. I want to make some soft hagi cakes and some crispy rice porridge for you. Where can I eat it outside? Look at Nizi's hard work this year, her chin is thin and pointed.
Now, people are also black..."
Yu Guoqin suddenly stopped talking. Lu Beicen looked up and found that the little old lady began to blink her eyes fiercely. This was because she was feeling sad and was holding back tears.
Lu Beicen's heart became hot in an instant, so hot that it was like the fire in the stove, and it was about to flow out.
The two of them were immersed in sorting out their emotions. Lu Beicen sometimes thought that she was not very good at expressing her emotions with words. She was exactly the same as her adoptive mother Yu Guoqin...
After a while, there was a sound of thorns in the pot. This was the white fish that had been put into the pot. Lu Beicen had liked to eat the braised white fish made by Yu Guoqin since he was a child. Although there were many thorns, the fish head was extremely delicate, and the salty aroma was slightly spicy.
In terms of taste, Lu Beicen can eat two bowls of rice for one piece of fish.
The mother and daughter, one cooking and the other cooking, cooperated as they had for many years, and soon the dishes were ready. Yu Guoqin put the soaked rice in a pot to steam, then pulled Lu Beicen up and asked her to go to the dining room.
I drank chicken soup first and then went to make the fire myself.
The fire for steaming rice is very particular. The key is to get crispy rice. Then shovel up the rice, pour down the rice soup, and simmer with the remaining heat. After a while, there will be a pot of fragrant rice porridge to accompany you.
Soft hagi cake is really the most haunting childhood delicacy...
Lu Beicen held a chicken leg in one hand and a spoon in the other. He took a mouthful of chicken and a mouthful of chicken soup. It was fragrant and sweet. This pot of chicken soup was stewed by his adoptive mother. When the restaurant opened back then, there was a daily limit and you had to order in advance. The meat was never cooked.
The soup is thick but not greasy, so delicious that you want to swallow the freshness on your tongue...
Yu Guoqin walked out of the kitchen and saw Lu Beicen eating deliciously, and began to laugh silently again. It seemed that watching his daughter eat deliciously made him feel full and happy.
"Mom, come and eat, it's so delicious. I want another bowl of chicken soup." Lu Beicen was not polite and greeted his adoptive mother as before. She knew that her adoptive mother never paid attention to who ate first and who ate last.
The thing is, as long as you eat well, your adoptive mother will be happy.
"Hey, you eat, you eat more. Mom is getting old and the chicken soup is not easy to melt. Mom can just have a bowl of crispy rice porridge later. If you are not at home, Mom can't eat it by herself. I will take advantage of you.
Also eat crispy rice porridge once..."
Lu Beicen watched his adoptive mother turn around and go into the kitchen to serve porridge. His eyes couldn't help but turn red. How lonely must his adoptive mother be alone...
Seeing his adoptive mother bring out the bowl of porridge, Lu Beicen began to talk about it: "Mom, you still have some friends when you live in the city. Come back to your old house. You don't want to deal with many people in the village.
So lonely!”
"I'm not alone. It's nice. It's clean. There's no mess!" Yu Guoqin shook his head, with a bit of discomfort on his face. Lu Beicen took a look and realized there was a story!
Blinking, Lu Beicen suppressed his laughter and began to tease his adoptive mother: "Mom, isn't it because someone is pursuing you and chasing you back to your old house to hide?"
"It's Moti, hurry up and eat your food!" Yu Guoqin said a little embarrassed.
"Ha, I guessed all this. Mom, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
