When he returned home, his father was trying to persuade Xia Jinpeng, "Why are you so disobedient? You haven't recovered yet. You still need to be observed for a while. If you want to go back, it's not too late to go back when you are fully recovered …"
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was back, Lu Weiguo quickly said, "Yiwei, come and persuade him. I've been persuading him all morning, but he insisted on going home. I couldn't stop him."
Xia Jinpeng said, "Uncle, Brother Yiwei, I'm really cured." As he said that, he punched his chest to verify it and continued, "I'm really sorry for troubling you for so long. Besides, I'm also homesick."
Lu Weiguo still wanted to persuade him, but he was stopped by Lu Yiwei, who said seriously, "Jinpeng, is this what you really think?"
"Yes!" Xia Jinpeng nodded heavily.
"Okay then. Pack your things. I'll send you home later, "Lu Yiwei said.
"Yiwei, are you crazy? I asked you to come back to persuade him, but you just did more harm than good. "Lu Weiguo sighed.
Lu Yiwei said, "Dad, Jinpeng is an adult. I believe he can take care of himself. After all, this is not his home. It will be uncomfortable if he stays here for a long time. Let him go back and try for a while. If he can't take it anymore, we can bring him back. "
Lu Weiguo was silent and did not speak again. Although he did not like Xia Jinpeng, people were always sentimental. After staying for a while, he slowly had a good impression of him. But the relationship that had just been established had to face parting again. He was somewhat reluctant.
His mother, Liu Cuilan, was living in a woman's house. Lu Weiguo rummaged through cabinets to find all kinds of food and daily necessities for Xia Jinpeng. After breakfast, when they were ready to leave, Xia Jinpeng made a surprising move. He suddenly knelt in front of Lu Weiguo, kowtowed three times, and said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, Brother, I, Xia Jinpeng, will remember your great kindness in my heart. In the future, I will definitely repay you double. Farewell, see you again in the future."
Lu Weiguo, who had always been eccentric and stubborn, actually had tears in his eyes. He couldn't bear to see the scene of parting, so he turned around and headed home before the car even started.
Back at home in Guchuan County, because no one had lived there for a long time, the weeds in the yard were as tall as a person, the windows were covered with spider webs, and the roof tiles had fallen off. It was like an abandoned island without any signs of life. Seeing all this, Xia Jinpeng fell to the ground and cried bitterly. He even muttered, "Mom, Dad, your unfilial son is back."
Lu Yiwei stood at the side, not trying to persuade or stop them. Let him cry as much as he wanted. Sometimes, crying would make him feel better. After all, suppressing it for so long could also be an important cause of heart disease relapse.
After crying for a while, Xia Jinpeng suddenly stood up, wiped his tears, rolled up his sleeves, and began to pull the weeds with his bare hands. While pulling, he said, "Brother, sit aside and rest for a while. When I clean up the house, I will treat you to a meal."
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly and didn't respond. He didn't stay for long. He quietly stuffed a stack of money into his bag and left without saying goodbye. Perhaps, after this experience, Xia Jinpeng would become more mature. He looked forward to seeing a different Xia Jinpeng the next time they met.
Back home, Lu Weiguo sat on the sofa alone, drinking tea in a sullen mood. Lu Yiwei knew that he was unhappy, so he grabbed a cigarette on the table and lit it. He comforted him, "Dad, my mom went to the Eastern State to accompany Lingzi. Do you want me to send you there?"
Lu Weiguo shook his head and said, "That is someone else's house after all. It's not comfortable to stay there. I won't go! Sigh, when Jinpeng was here, there was someone to talk to me. Now that he is gone, there is no one to talk to. As for you, you are busy with work. You can't even see him for a few days. Sigh! "
Hearing his father say that, Lu Yiwei didn't feel good in his heart. But life was like this. When you get something, you will have to give up something. It was impossible for everything to go according to plan and be perfect. He said, "Dad, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry. After I am done with my work, I will focus on finding a wife. If I really can't find one, you can try to find one for me. As long as you think she is good enough, I have no opinion."
"That's enough!" Lu Weiguo said, "If it was in the past, I might have urged you to find a wife. Now, I have seen through it. As long as you are happy, everything is fine. Let nature take its course. Some things can't be forced. After Jinpeng left, I have nothing to do. It's just that the weather is getting hot. Send me back to my hometown. I will stay there for a few days. "
"Sure!" Lu Yiwei said straightforwardly.
After sending his father back to his hometown, Lu Yiwei returned to Shiwan Village with a relaxed body. With Xia Jinpeng gone, at least he didn't have to worry about his family's matters anymore. He could focus on his work.
When he entered the gate, Lu Yiwei deliberately glanced at the gate and found that the woman was no longer there. After parking the car, Lu Yiwei went back to the guard to ask about Old Li's situation.
Old Li said, "According to your instructions, I got her food from the canteen, but she didn't want to eat. There was no other way, so I called Village Head Fu down to deal with it. But when she saw Village Head Fu, she ran away. It's strange. "
Lu Yiwei recalled the woman's eyes that day. It was clear that she wanted to talk about something. But why didn't she say anything? Why didn't she go and look for him? In the eyes of others, she was just a beggar, but he didn't think so. He asked, "How long has she been gone?"
"She ran away not long after you came home."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei didn't ask any more questions. When he returned to the office, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He had a feeling that there was something going on. He thought that the woman had come over a few times, so she must not have gone far. Lu Yiwei would definitely find her. Thinking about this, he went out and called Li Ermao. They carefully searched along the main road of Shiwan Village.
They looked around the village government building for a long time, but couldn't find anyone. Lu Yiwei expanded the search area. He walked along the main road, stopping and looking hard. Finally, he found the woman's tracks under a big tree by the river bank.
In order not to disturb her, Lu Yiwei sat in the car and stared at her for a long time. Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lu Yiwei had a premonition that something was wrong. He quickly got out of the car and walked over, only to find that the woman had fainted. Without further ado, Li Ermao carried her into the car and sent her to Shiwan Village Hospital.
After a careful examination by the doctor, he came to a conclusion. The attending doctor said that the woman was fine. She had just fainted because she hadn't eaten for a long time and the weather was hot. She would be fine after a glucose infusion. Hearing this, Lu Yiwei let out a sigh of relief.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, the woman woke up. When she saw Lu Yiwei, she immediately sat up and pulled out the needle. She curled up in a corner and hugged her head.
Lu Yiwei thought that the woman was frightened and walked over to comfort her. However, the woman screamed and screamed like a madwoman. The doctors and nurses rushed in to press her down on the bed. However, the woman was too strong. A few of them couldn't hold her down.
As a man, it was difficult to communicate with women. Lu Yiwei immediately called the deputy village head, Fan Chunfang, and asked her to come over and accompany him.
After Fan Chunfang arrived, Lu Yiwei gave her some instructions and left the hospital to return to the village government building.
As he didn't sleep well the night before, he was a little groggy. He simply locked the door from the inside and fell asleep after a while. In his dream, he saw the woman in the white dress. She was standing on the other side of the road and waving at him. Just as she was about to walk over, a car drove over at high speed and knocked the woman away … He was so shocked that he sat up. After realizing that it was a dream, he lay down again, soaked to the skin.
Ever since the last time he saw that silhouette in Nanzhou City, Lu Yiwei had been somewhat fascinated, his soul had left his body. Especially when he was alone, that figure always floated in front of his eyes, and he couldn't get rid of it.
He thought about going to Nanzhou again to find that woman, but after all, he just brushed shoulders with her. In the vast sea of people, it was like a great wave washing the sand. How could he find her so easily? Every time he let go of this thought, that burst of emotion became more intense. This kind of palpitating heartbeat had not appeared for a long time. He didn't have any extravagant hopes. He only hoped to see that woman again. Even if it was just a glance from afar, he would be satisfied. And she would only appear in his dreams.
When he returned to reality, everything became so unrealistic. Thinking about his parents' impatience, sometimes he really didn't want to pursue some bullsh * t love. He just wanted the other party to be sloppy and find someone to marry. But was this the life he wanted?
The more depressed he was, the less he could vent. His little brother, who had been asleep for a long time, hadn't tasted the opposite sex for a long time. He often rebelled. How could he not want that?
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, his phone rang. It was a call from Fan Chunfang. He picked it up. The other party said, "Standing Committee Lu, are you free now? I have something important to report to you. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei sat up and said, "No need to report over the phone. I'll be right there."
Lu Yiwei came to the hospital worriedly. Fan Chunfang pulled him to the office next to the ward and closed the door. "Standing Committee Lu, the matter has been clarified. The woman's name is Wang Caixia. She's 42 years old and from Sichuan. She's here to look for her man. "
"Her man?" Lu Yiwei asked suspiciously.
"Yes, she said her man was mining coal in Xijiang Province. She found this place after searching for a long time," Fan Chunfang said.
"What's her man's name? Is he sure he's mining coal in Shiwan Village? "
"What Liangzi? She doesn't speak Mandarin, and I don't understand."
"Liangzi?" Lu Yiwei muttered. Why did the name sound so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. He said, "It's not easy for a foreigner to come all the way here to look for her husband. She's not familiar with the place, and she doesn't know anyone. Let's do it this way. Find a hotel for her to stay first. Wait for her to calm down before we continue to understand the situation. "
"Alright," Fan Chunfang said without hesitation.
Suddenly, Fan Chunfang blushed in shame. He turned around and left.
