"Baby, to make a long story short, we took time off to come here. The experiment is about to enter a new stage, and we may not see you for a long time.
Mom believes that you can take good care of yourself. If you miss us, you can write to us. If you are unsure about anything, listen to your sister Huanhuan's opinions. "Nan Sheng reluctantly instructed.
"Can't you come back for the New Year?" Ming Ruxue felt so aggrieved when she heard that. The tears she had just wiped away began to fall again as if for no reason.
She dreaded the New Year the most, when everyone else was laughing and talking, but she was all alone. It was okay when she was abroad, there wasn't that kind of atmosphere, but now that she was back home and it was like this, she really couldn't bear it.
The crying of her daughter was like needles piercing Nan Sheng's heart. She was not a competent mother and could not even spend the New Year with her daughter.
Ming Cheng's eyes were red with sadness. As a father, he owed his daughter a lot. He couldn't even find a way to borrow money and comfort his child.
Ming Ruxue cried for about two minutes, then she climbed up from Nan Sheng's shoulder and wiped her tears. She had calmed down.
Like so many times before, she forced a smile.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I won't be alone during the New Year this year. I have Lanting, Sister Huanhuan, Sister Luoqing, Dabao, Beibei, Youran and many other good people to accompany me!
You should take good care of your health and don’t forget to eat when you are busy.”
When she was young, every time her parents left, she would cry and make a fuss, hugging their legs and refusing to let them go, and she would be depressed for many days.
But now she can adjust her emotions quickly and not let them worry.
Although they are not the best parents, their research has helped countless people to stand up. She is proud of them in her heart and even hopes that she can be like them in the future.
Ming Cheng stepped forward and gave his daughter a loving hug: "Good girl."
The three-person chat came to an end.
Nan Sheng deliberately brought Gu Qinghuan over alone.
"Huanhuan, is your mother okay?"
"Thanks for your concern, Auntie. Life is going well." Of course it wouldn't be much better, but Gu Qinghuan didn't want to mention it. It didn't make any sense.
"Qinghuan, Auntie knows that your grandfather, uncle and mother are going through a very hard time right now, but please believe me, there will be light at the end of the tunnel soon, so let them hold on a little longer.
When the time comes, we will help to redress the injustice, and then you can be reunited as a family." Nan Sheng couldn't say too much, so he could only remind her in this subtle way.
Gu Qinghuan knew that the Zhong family had done nothing wrong, but from the perspective of the family at that time, all high-level intellectuals were guilty, so they suffered this disaster.
Gu Qinghuan was quite touched that the Ming family was concerned about their affairs.
"Thank you, Auntie. I understand. Thank you for your help."
"What troubles are you talking about? I have watched you grow up. If you have any troubles, it is us who are bothering you. The way you take care of Xue'er makes us, as parents, feel ashamed.
By the way, here are three thousand yuan. I took some out when I came here. You can spend it first." Nan Sheng took out a stack of money from her bag and stuffed it into Gu Qinghuan's arms.
The Zhong family had been confiscated before, and she gave money because she thought it was not easy for Gu Qinghuan to support a family as a girl.
"No, no, no, Auntie, I have money to spend, you can't take this money." Gu Qinghuan quickly returned it as if it was a hot potato.
"You must accept it! Huanhuan, auntie has no other intentions, I just feel sorry for you and it's not easy to support your family.
You see, you don't charge rent, but you still provide food and drink for Xue'er. I feel really sorry for you and your uncle, but I can't help you. I can only give you some money, hoping that you can live a more comfortable life.
Your mother used to be like this, gentle and kind, you and her are just like two peas in a pod. Our Ming family owes you a lot, and we can never repay them enough.”
Nan Sheng spoke with sincerity and tears were streaming down her cheeks, so Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to accept the money as she wished.
"That's right!"
Gu Qinghuan showed a helpless smile.
"We're leaving first. Ruxue will be handed over to you. If she does anything wrong, you should educate her." Nan Sheng said while looking at the watch on her hand.
"Ruxue is very well behaved and has never caused you any worries. She also often helps you take care of the children. You can rest assured!"
The two said goodbye to Ming Ruxue and left.
Gu Qinghuan packed them a few steamed buns that she made in the morning, a box of Xia Lian cakes, and some other traditional items, such as Northeast pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, red dates, and hazel mushrooms.
The reason why I always give these to others is that, besides the fact that these things take up the most space and are less likely to go wrong, they are also because they are nourished by spiritual spring water and are good for people to eat, which is equivalent to giving spiritual spring water as a gift.
Ming Ruxue stood in front of the window on the second floor. She watched their car drive away before she looked away and locked herself in the room and cried quietly.
It wasn't until Lanting came back that she became happy again.
At noon, Xiao Zhuo brought good news.
Gu Qinghuan hasn't installed a telephone at home yet, mainly because he should save money and spend money because he won't use it. It would be a waste of money to install one. Private phones are not cheap nowadays, so Xiao Zhuo drove over to inform him.
"That piano is 1,500 yuan now. Do you want it? If so, can you pick it up this afternoon?" Xiao Zhuo said concisely.
"Yes! Yes!" Fifteen thousand for a Yamaha, this price is really a bargain. You have to know that it is a good thing that can be used for hundreds of years. It would be a fool not to take advantage of it.
She followed Xiao Zhuo to a place similar to a warehouse to pick up the goods.
Xiao Zhuo had already found a large truck for transportation, along with a few movers. They just needed her to pay them and they could move the goods away.
Of course, you still have to check the goods first.
Gu Qinghuan herself does not understand the piano and has no chance to come into contact with such elegant things, but her original body has learned a little from her cousin Zhong Luoxi.
So she checked it up and down and found that the piano seemed to have only been used a few times. It was brand new. Getting it for fifteen hundred yuan was really a bargain, right?
At this time, she didn't know that someone had already paid half of the money, and she was secretly delighted.
While she was examining him, Lei Zi beside her kept making eyes at Xiao Zhuo.
Well, why is Xiao Zhuo suddenly so generous? It turns out he wants to catch a beautiful woman.
But to be honest, she is such a hot girl, no wonder Xiao Zhuo was attracted to her.
Lei Zi was secretly fantasizing in his heart.
Xiao Zhuo was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was wondering whether Zhong Luoqing would like this piano. He heard that she used to be a piano teacher, so she should know a lot about it!
In fact, he wanted to find a better piano, but he couldn't find it, but he was worried that Lu Qinghuan couldn't afford it, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
Gu Qinghuan was extremely satisfied with the piano and paid fifteen hundred yuan for it on the spot.
Xiao Zhuo has already made up the remaining fifteen hundred.
Several workers began to wrap the body of the instrument with old cotton jackets, preparing to lift it onto the truck.
Lei Zi frowned and made a face to ask Xiao Zhuo to pay attention, but Xiao Zhuo slapped him away for being too noisy.
The piano was finally transported to the building and finally placed in the living room on the first floor.
Gu Qinghuan kept the whole thing a secret from Zhong Luoqing. When she went downstairs and saw the piano, she was stunned.
The piano was once her whole life, and she once dreamed of becoming a piano master and leaving behind classic and timeless music.
Later, her life became a mess. The daily necessities of life had worn away her passion. She became numb and became a walking corpse.
She hadn't touched a piano in years, it seemed like a century.
Seeing this old guy again now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
She stood there motionless.
Everyone looked at her, as if encouraging her to give it a try.
Zhong Luoqing walked forward slowly, ran his fingers across the body of the piano, felt the real touch, and then sat down.
A piece of Beethoven's "Symphony of Fate" poured out.
She thought she had forgotten the piano, even how to play it, but when she sat here, all those things that had disappeared seemed to come back to her mind again, everything was so smooth, as if engraved in her DNA.
Many years ago, she actually didn't know how to appreciate this song, and couldn't understand and interpret it very well. But after she went through the pain and suffering that life brought her, looking back, she suddenly fell in love with this song and had her own deep understanding of it.
The passionate music at the beginning gushed out, making people's souls tremble, just like the rolling wheel of history, like the life force being strangled by the throat of the god of death, like a level 2 storm coming! It makes people terrified.
Music has no barriers. It makes everyone in the audience shake!
Slowly, the music reaches a soothing part, which makes people relax from the vibration and take a breath from the exciting music, as if life has come to the end and the human breath is only that short.
That is the sound of sorrow, it is like a great tree withering and leaving only broken branches, it is pain and sorrow!
Then, the tenacity of fate is revealed! You can't bow to fate! You can't succumb to fate! You have to fight and defeat fate! You have to fight, you are not a slave to fate! You are you! You can endure setbacks, you can fight with you, you are you!
"놖 must strangle fate놅's throat, it must not completely crush 놖!"
