Chapter 684 Gu Haifan returns to his hometown (1)
Gu Haifan will take the college entrance examination in May. After Gu Xiuxiu went to the mainland, he started going to boarding school. Because he suffered a lot since childhood and has a very tough character, Lu Jiaxin doesn't need to worry about him.
After the exam, Gu Haifan and Lu Jiaxin said, "Cousin, I want to go to Sijiu City to accompany my aunt."
Due to the intense academic pressure in the past few years, I only have time to visit Gu Xiuxiu in Sijiu City during the winter and summer vacations. He clearly felt that his aunt was getting worse and worse. The exam will be finished now, and he will stay with her in Sijiu City until he goes to college.
Of course Lu Jiaxin had no objection.
Gu Haifan added: "Cousin, I want to go back to my hometown. I haven't been back for many years. Maybe my father's grave is covered with grass."
"It's time to go back."
Gu Haifan told Lu Jiaxin about this because he had something to ask her: "Cousin, when I go back this time, I want to repay the people who helped me. Cousin, can you send two people to accompany me back to my hometown."
Lu Jiaxin snorted and asked deliberately: "Why do you want to send someone to accompany you back?"
Gu Haifan smiled bitterly and said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. It will be dangerous if someone sees that I am rich and has evil thoughts to hold me back and prevent me from leaving."
Lu Jiaxin said appreciatively: "It's good that you think so. You have not seen your relatives for seven years. What kind of character can't be determined now? Haifan, people's hearts are sinister, not only your relatives, but also the friends you make in the future. Don't trust them easily. People, or they will push you into the abyss.”
She is Gu Haifan's guardian. But Gu Haifan didn't have to worry about her life or study. Even the matter of hiring a tutor is left to the secretary. Occasionally, if something happens at school, he will go there. She is now famous in Hong Kong City, and Gu Haifan, as her cousin, has no one to bully her.
After Gu Haifan's experience with the He family, he had already seen the evil nature of people's hearts. He nodded to show that he remembered: "Cousin, how is the He family doing now?"
If he hadn't mentioned it, Lu Jiaxin would have forgotten about this family: "He Zhuliang was seriously ill last year, and medical parole was of no use, and he died in the end. Her wife Li Xuanqi is now being raised by He Yanyan."
He Yanyan has no special skills. She donated money to go to the university she went to, just to get a diploma. But she still has a face. She was very arrogant at first, but after being beaten by reality a few times, she became more docile. It is said that she is now being groomed by a rich old man. Li Xuanqi, on the other hand, relied on the money He Yanyan earned from her small business to live a life without worries about food and clothing. As for the others, Lu Jiaxin didn't pay attention.
Gu Haifan had a good impression of He Mingzhu, but others didn't care: "Cousin, where is Sister Mingzhu now? Is she okay?"
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "I don't know where she is now. But she has money and ability, so she will live well no matter where she is. Haifan, the same is true for you, as long as you learn the true skills, you will live well no matter where you are. ”
"I know."
Gu Haifan returned to Sijiu City the next day, stayed for a day and then returned to his hometown. After being away for seven years, my dreams are filled with people from my hometown. But when I really returned to my hometown and saw the muddy roads and low houses, I felt a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
An old man saw him and asked cautiously: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
When Gu Haifan saw the old man with white hair, his nose was sour and his eyes were a little moist: "Sixth uncle, I am Haifan, I am Haifan!" His father died and his mother remarried, and he was so poor that he had no food to eat. The tribesmen gave him food, so he didn't starve to death. Not long after, he was lucky enough to be chosen by his aunt to go to Hong Kong City.
Uncle Liu was in disbelief: "Are you Haifan? How is that possible?"
When Gu Haifan left seven years ago, he was still a thin little boy, but the boy standing in front of him was sunny and handsome, and he looked like he was raised by a wealthy family. Oh yes, Haifan was taken away by his rich aunt.
Thinking of this, Liu Bogong asked: "Where is your aunt? How could she let you come back?"
Before coming, Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong told him not to tell the Gu family about Gu Xiuxiu's stay in Sijiu City. The two of them have always been in a wealthy family, so they know the evil of people's hearts best. If you want to let the Gu family know that the old lady is in Sijiu City, let alone the Gu family, your nephews and grandsons will probably come to visit. It didn't matter when the old lady was sober, but now she's delirious
Gu Haifan said: "My aunt is in Hong Kong City. I am coming back after the college entrance examination. I will go to study abroad in a few days. It may take a few years to come back."
He applied to several well-known medical universities abroad. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I struggled with my studies, but my performance in Cantonese and English improved by leaps and bounds. Lu Jiaxin's requirement was to develop all-round morally, intellectually, and physically, so he was allowed to dabble in various sports such as basketball and tennis, and he joined the school basketball team in the fourth grade. Although the results of the national examination have not yet been released, he feels that he will definitely be admitted to a foreign university.
Liu Bogong hurriedly invited him to sit at home.
When the Gu family heard that he was back, they swarmed to Uncle Liu's house. Uncle Gu also got the news and came over to bring him to live in his house.
Gu Haifan refused, saying that it would be fine for him to settle down at Liu Uncle's house. Many people in the village gave him a bite of food, but his uncle and uncle were not among them. Not only that, the eldest aunt and aunt also said that he suppressed his father, and his mother remarried in a hurry because she was afraid of being suppressed to death.
After a while, his brother-in-law came and asked him to live in his house, but Gu Haifan also refused. He doesn't hate what happened back then. After all, we are really poor here, and having one more mouth adds a lot of burden. He just made up rumors that he killed his father, which he couldn't forgive.
The eldest daughter-in-law of Liu Bogong gave him the incense candles and paper money she bought. Gu Haifan carried the basket up the mountain and looked at the low grave mound. He said, "Sixth Uncle, I want to build my father's grave, but I don't know how."
Liu Bogong said that to repair the tomb, you have to find someone to calculate it and calculate the days. You can't just repair it just because you want to.
Gu Haifan didn't want to stay here for too long. After visiting the grave and coming down the mountain, he asked the sixth uncle who he wanted to settle the day with.
Although Uncle Liu was in his sixties, he was still in good health. He smiled and said, "I will take you there now, and I will buy the materials when the day is right."
The day to repair the tomb was quickly calculated, it will be the middle of next month. Gu Haifan couldn't stay in the village for so many days, so he entrusted the purchase of materials to the sixth uncle's eldest son.
Uncle Liu said: "Haifan, many people in the village helped you back then. Now that you are back, you should go to each house to say thank you."
If it hadn't been for the help from the villagers, Gu Haifan might not have been able to survive that winter. Although he helped a lot back then, life at home with many children and grandchildren was not very good and his abilities were limited. But there were more people helping, and one family was given three to five kilograms of grain, and that family was given ten kilograms of grain. The child managed to get through the most difficult time despite bumps and bumps. Later, he was taken away by his aunt who came back from Hong Kong. I don't know how many people envied him.
Gu Haifan nodded in agreement: "I'll go now."
