Chapter 88 Homecoming III
This means that Gao Jianbin is an orphan. Without the affection of his parents, the warmth and care of his family, he faces this complex and cruel society alone, and uses his tender shoulders to carry the pressure of life and study. When Li Li thinks of this, she feels sad. How difficult is it to be a rural orphan who can go to college and make a career? That kind of extraordinary tenacity and perseverance seems not something ordinary people can think of. What others see now is his brilliant achievements, and who knows that Gao Jianbin's journey is so bumpy. Although today's events surprised her, she knew that Gao Jianbin could bring her here to worship his relatives. This action was sacred for him. Li Li's heart was full of tenderness at this moment, and the cemetery was no longer afraid of her.
Gao Jianbin met a few childhood friends and said with a smile: "You are still similar to before, and there is no big change." He pointed to Li Li, who was chatting with Gao Xuelin not far behind and said: "That is my girlfriend, my college classmate, named Li Li. How about it, you look okay?" Men always think about showing off their beautiful girlfriend in front of relatives and friends. When they see others' envious eyes, a little vanity is greatly satisfied. Gao Jianbin did it no exception, and also received a lot of praise.
Zhang Wenliang is his die-hard supporter and has always been brave enough to take responsibility. When he was in high school, he was criticized by his teacher the most. He was generous and generous, and loved by his classmates. He smiled and said, "I knew that the first stop of your boy coming back must be here, so I asked them to come with Xue Lin." Gao Jianbin called Li Li and pointed at a few people and said, "Li Li, I will introduce some of my loyal friends to you." Li Li said hello to several people very kindly. For her, since these people are Gao Jianbin's loyal friends, they must have helped Gao Jianbin a lot, and they should know them.
Zhang Wenliang was careless, Wei Yan looked gentle, Lei Zhenqian was cold and arrogant, Fu Guangsheng was silent, Xia Guohui was simple and unpretentious, each with his own characteristics. Lei Zhenqian was the oldest, and said in his speech: "It's getting late, let Jianbin and his younger brothers go to the grave of his uncle and aunt to worship first. Anyway, we have time tonight." This proposal was unanimously recognized by everyone, and Gao Jianbin was also worried that it would be too late, Li Li was afraid, so he went to the car to take two bouquets of flowers and some sacrifices, and said to the old man guarding the door, threw down two cigarettes, and then took Li Li's hand into the cemetery. Wei Yan sighed: "Jianbin is such a blessing, I really envy you, and you look like a fairy couple." Zhang Wenliang smiled and said: "Are you afraid that your family is jealous? You are still envious!"
It can be seen that Qingyuan Village attaches great importance to this cemetery and is built very solemnly. Green pine trees planted on both sides of the road are more than ten meters tall. Walking on the road paved with bluestone, there is no gloomy and terrifying at all, just like walking in a botanical garden. After a while, we arrived at the center and were basically halfway up the mountain. There were so many large rows of tombs in front of us, all made of bluestone cement, and there were even photos on the tombstones. There were special people here to clean them.
, so it was very neat, with no fallen leaves or withered weeds. Following the blue brick road to the middle of the second row, Gao Jianbin heard that there were two adjacent tombs, and the tombstones were photos of the two. Gao Jianbin pointed to the tombstone and said, "One of these two tombs buried my parents and the other one buried my grandparents." After that, he put the flowers on the altar in front of the tombstone, opened the bag and took out two small incense burners, lit a few incense sticks and inserted them into it.
Seeing Gao Jianbin kneeling down, Li Li knelt down. Gao Jianbin knew that there was a stone slab under his knees and the feeling was absolutely unpleasant, so he said to Li Li: "Let's kowtow to the old man and sit down. If you can't stand it when kneeling on your knees, you won't like it either." The two kowtowed three times respectfully to the two graves, and then sat down directly.
Gao Jianbin looked at the tombstone and said softly: "My parents, grandparents and grandmothers, Jianbin brought your future granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to see you. I haven't come back for more than four years after scanning the tomb last time. You must miss me! Look at my little wife, her name is Li Li, she is my classmate, but the school beauty of our school. Look, she is definitely one in a million." Li Li was embarrassed when he said, but she didn't say anything.
Gao Jianbin continued, "I finally met my grandfather's requirements. Now I not only have a car and a house, but also become a township cadre. I think I will marry Lili in a year or a half and give you another surprise. Whether it is a fat boy or a wild girl, you will all like it." Li Li twisted Gao Jianbin hard and said, "You are really not ashamed, and you are talking nonsense here!" She herself was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Gao Jianbin turned around and smiled and said, "Does it feel strange? Why don't I even mean sad? That's because I promised my mother that she would not shed a tear in front of them. She should be happy when she comes here. If I cry here, my parents and grandfather will not be happy. Some things require sincerity, not form!"
He took out a cigarette, put a pack in front of each tombstone, and lit one myself. Looking at the photos of relatives on the tombstone, Gao Jianbin said softly: "My father was an abandoned child when he was young. My grandfather passed away early, so my grandmother remarried with her father. But the stepfather didn't like my father very much. My grandmother had no choice but to send him back to her hometown after he finished junior high school. My grandfather had only one sister, my father's aunt, which was the high school college that the elders sponsored my father to finish. But her family was not very rich, so my father worked most of the time. My mother and my father met in college. At that time, my father was also the president of the student union of the School of Economics!"
I took a deep breath and slowly let out a breath of smoke. Then I said, "My mother's family conditions are very good. My grandfather is the director of the municipal hospital, but she has retired long ago. My grandmother has passed away long ago. I have never seen her. My mother went to school at the Medical College of Haizhou University and met my father at the New Year's dance. At that time, there were many people who pursued my mother, including many from an official family. At that time, my two so-called uncles wanted my mother to marry the son of a provincial leader because they were both
Working in a government department, once they become in-laws, it will be very beneficial for their future promotion. Fortunately, my grandfather didn't care about his background and despised his two sons' actions. With the support of my grandfather, they formed a family and had me. My two uncles were suppressed by the leader's son and had not been promoted for several years. The two families blew up their anger on my parents' heads and had not had any contact since the day my parents got married." Li Li listened quietly, hugged Gao Jianbin's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
At this point, Gao Jianbin's eyes became wet: "It didn't matter, but my father unfortunately got cancer. The treatment cost a lot of money. In order to make up the treatment, my mother sold everything at home. It was still not enough. It was a daily expense of tens of thousands of yuan. As a result, my mother begged her two brothers, and my two uncles and their families not only refused to give up a penny, but even refused to let the door in, and sarcastically bombarded their own sister. When my grandfather learned the news, my mother was also exhausted."
Looking at the kind old man in Tang suit, Gao Jianbin said, "My grandfather resolutely took out all his savings and sold his house to give my father chemotherapy, but my dear father would rather die than spend another penny to treat him. He knew his condition and understood that there was no meaning in the hospital. There was no possibility at all. Why bother to drag my grandfather and mother down so that they could not continue to live? Since I knew that there was not much time, I brought my mother and grandfather here. There was also an old house left by my grandfather. The villagers did not move and simply cleaned up and lived there. In less than three months, my father passed away. Who can know how my father spent so long? My mother was crying for three months, and her tears were dried up."
Looking at Gao Jianbin, who still couldn't help but shed tears, Li Li was also heartbroken. There was such a cruel brother in the world. For the sake of that little grievance, he even turned his sister out of treatment for his own brother-in-law. It was impossible for humans to do it, and his lover was really miserable!
Gao Jianbin sneered and said, "After my father passed away, my mother opened a clinic in the village with my grandfather's efforts. My grandfather was a well-known chief physician, and my mother was also a practicing physician, and her life was still acceptable. That was the happiest time for me. Although my father was gone, at least two relatives were still with me. My two uncles knew that my grandfather had sold the house and came here, so they came to make a big fuss and made a big fuss and refused to let my grandfather live here, which was embarrassing! But amid the grandfather's curse, they were in disgrace.
I walked away. When I was in high school, my family was still unwilling to let go on my grandfather's birthday. My grandfather stood up and slapped my second uncle. Then he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and had no treatment. He died two days later. According to my grandfather's wish during his lifetime, my mother buried him and my grandmother in Qingyuan Village. Excessive labor, coupled with my father and my grandfather passed away one after another, my mother had no way to support such a blow. She died a year after she became ill. When I was in my third year of high school, I became an orphan!"
