Chapter 147 As long as you are happy
Lu Lingze couldn't bear to watch it, so he tried to out of sight and out of mind.
Apart from the three of them having dinner together, Lu Lingze was basically nowhere to be seen.
He is a very outgoing person and often goes to other carriages to chat with others.
But as the train moved forward, the time Lu Lingze had to go out gradually decreased.
Often looking at the scenery outside without saying a word.
Instead, Lu Mingze gradually became excited.
After all, this is the place where I have lived and grown up. I don’t feel homesick at all. I just feel eager to go home.
When the train arrived in Jingcheng, Lu Mingze had recovered fully.
The train station hasn't changed much in three years.
When getting off the train, Lu Mingze couldn't help but glance at the platform next to him.
Qin Zhang was dissatisfied: "Look, what are you looking at? Do you remember the scene when I got off the train and saw you leaving?"
"I almost ran onto the tracks and was run over by a train."
"You are such a heartless person, just watching like that."
Lu Mingze touched his nose and said, "Well...it's over now, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Why not?" Qin Zhang sneered, "I will mention it, and I will mention it for the rest of my life."
"I will remember you abandoning me all my life."
Lu Lingze took over the conversation: "Why are you still holding a grudge?"
"Think about it carefully. If you hadn't made a mistake back then, would my brother have left?"
Lu Mingze suddenly no longer felt guilty. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be protected by someone.
Qin Zhang was too lazy to argue with Lu Lingze, so he led the person out of the station with ease.
After changing buses twice, we finally arrived at the village entrance.
Lu Mingze looked around in surprise.
Everything here was different, so much so that he could hardly recognize that this was the place where he had lived.
In the past two years, every household has made a lot of money because of Lu Zhaoyi's business.
So except for Lu Mingze's house, most of the other houses were basically replaced with blue brick and tile houses.
This year is already 1988.
As soon as they entered the village, Lu Mingze and his companions were seen by a few strange yet familiar young men.
"Brother Mingze, are you back?" The young men ran over with hoarse voices.
Then, they saw a man who looked almost exactly like Lu Mingze.
The other party smiled at them.
When they got closer, Lu Mingze realized that they were the little disciples who had fished and caught shrimps in the water with him a few years ago.
In three years, these little kids have grown up to be like adults.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him and Lu Lingze with shock, he quickly explained: "Let me introduce you, this is my long-lost brother."
The boys quacked like a flock of ducks.
Qin Zhang quickly interrupted them and said, "Let's go back first."
So several young men surrounded the three people and walked towards the village, talking about the changes in the village over the years.
There were also people who were particularly familiar with Qin Zhang, and one of them even almost jumped onto Qin Zhang's back and asked him to carry him.
Qin Zhang directly picked up the boy's down jacket and weighed it: "He has grown a lot."
The other young men hurried into the village to report the news.
Not long after Lu Mingze and the other two arrived home, the door was surrounded by people.
The village chief and Aunt Li drove away all the onlookers and then came in to talk to Lu Mingze.
Qin Zhang also knew that he wouldn't be able to rest for a while, so he took some candies and New Year's goods and went out to share them with the boys.
In the past few years, Qin Zhang often takes time to come and play.
The ones I'm most familiar with are these guys.
"Brother Qin Zhang, why did you come back with Brother Mingze?"
"Could it be that Brother Mingze was caught by you?"
Qin Zhang was puzzled: "What do you mean by being caught by me?"
"Brother Mingze said that he committed a crime in the cannery three years ago and ran away because he was afraid of being caught by you." A tall boy explained.
Qin Zhang narrowed his eyes: "Did he tell you that?"
For some reason, the boy suddenly felt something was wrong, but he nodded under Qin Zhang's burning gaze: "I heard it from my dad, too."
Qin Zhang smiled: "No, your brother Mingze lied to you."
"Ah? Why did he lie to us?" The eyes of a group of teenagers were full of curiosity.
Qin Zhang: "Then you should go ask him."
If Lu Mingze wasn't busy right now, this group of teenagers would have rushed in to question him.
This has caused them to live in fear for the past three years, fearing that they would say something wrong and implicate Qin Zhang when he came.
But the result was like this, and they really couldn't understand it.
Now Lu Mingze told the village chief and Aunt Li the whole truth.
Including why he left suddenly that year, and what is happening with Qin Zhang now, and most importantly, the fact that Lu Lingze and he are brothers.
The village chief and Aunt Li were stunned for a long time after hearing this.
These two people used to be the best to Lu Mingze.
Lu Mingze didn't want to hide it from them either.
But I was also worried about seeing their strange looks.
So I could only lower my head and dare not look at them.
After a long while, the village chief said, "Many years ago, I received several letters from other places. They were written to your mother, Mingze."
"I've known for a long time that Lu Chuan likes men."
"I know who wrote that letter."
"But I was worried that the person might not be so kind, so I kept the letter secret."
"I didn't know your mother gave birth to twins. When you were brought back to the village, your parents told everyone that you were the only one born."
"If I had known that man had raised your brother, I would definitely not have suppressed the letter."
"And it made your mother unable to survive."
The village chief sighed deeply: "I was wrong in this matter."
What I didn't understand before, now I understand.
Lu Lingze said nothing. He was not familiar with the village chief and had no idea what to say.
Lu Mingze said, "Uncle Village Chief, this is not your fault."
"Even if I didn't go there, am I not living well now?"
"My brother and I grew up normally."
"Is it?"
Lu Mingze poked Lu Lingze's arm.
The other party hummed.
Obviously, the things of the previous generation are in the past.
The village chief said nothing and the atmosphere became quiet.
After a long while, Aunt Li said, "Mingze, since ancient times, there will be no good results between homosexuals."
"I've also heard about your father's love for men."
"If the village chief's family hadn't suppressed the matter at that time, your father would have been severely punished."
"Things are different now than they were before, but the matter between you and Qin Zhang..."
She didn't finish her words, but Lu Mingze already knew what she meant.
"He doesn't want to give up on me, and I still like him." Lu Mingze said with a relaxed look: "Let's give it a try."
"If I really can't go on, I won't have any regrets."
Aunt Li shook her head: "No wonder you didn't find a partner when I asked you to."
The village chief tapped the ash in his pipe and said, "Mingze, since you have made up your mind, I can't say anything. As long as you are happy."
