The Sun of Rebirth

Chapter 35 Suspension

In a blink of an eye, the first semester of the second year of high school ended, the severe winter hit, the leaves of the sycamore trees withered, and only the cold plums were quietly blooming in the yard.

Su Chaoyang took his aunt to stay at home for a short while, and began to buy all kinds of materials for the New Year in full swing, busy at home all day.

Su Chaoyang, who deliberately wore a plastic apron and a pair of old rain boots, sat in the yard, chopping a big fish weighing about ten catties with a kitchen knife in his hand, chopping for a while and then slapping it with the knife for a while.The aunt nestled by the door quietly watched him busy, saying a few words from time to time.

Su Chaoyang was full of energy, because he received a call from his uncle before the final exam that they would all go home for the New Year this year.As soon as the exam was over, Su Chaoyang immediately prepared the New Year's goods with great enthusiasm, as if making all the delicious things for them to taste.

At noon, a few sporadic students came out of the campus. When they passed by Su Chaoyang's house, they all looked curiously at the figure in the courtyard. Su Chaoyang continued to work without raising his head. The fish were all processed, and now he was processing chickens and ducks.

"Su Chaoyang." Lin Zhan, covered in winter clothes, walked to the gate of the iron courtyard and shouted.

Su Chaoyang raised his head and smiled at him, got up and opened the courtyard door: "Come inside and sit down, the temperature today is lower than yesterday."

"Aren't you cold?" Looking at the water-drenched ground and Su Chaoyang's bloody hands, Lin Zhan felt extremely cold.

"It was a little cold at first, but after a while, it stopped cold, and now I feel hot all over. Come in, I have a little more to deal with. How about eating at my house at noon?"

"Thank you. What can I do for you?"

"Go into the house and help me see if my aunt is asleep, and if the radish soup in the kitchen is done, and if it's done, turn off the fire."

"it is good."

Su Chaoyang continued to chop chickens and ducks vigorously. The poultry were all bought in his aunt's village. He bought a lot of authentic native chickens and ducks, and it took a little effort to transport them back.Some of them were killed today, and a few were kept in captivity by him.

There are many busy figures like this on Wutong Road, almost every household is like this, except that other families are hardworking and virtuous mothers and occasional helper fathers.He is the only one as young as Su Chaoyang.

As the old saying goes, children look forward to the New Year, but adults are afraid of it.Children look forward to the delicious food, fun and excitement of the New Year, but adults have to spend a lot of money and time for it. It is normal to prepare New Year's goods a month in advance.Fortunately, the past few years are not the same as when I was a child, and the living conditions are gradually improving with abundant materials. It is not like when I was a child, if I wanted to eat snacks during the Chinese New Year, I had to do manual work.Su Chaoyang remembered that when he was a child, during the Chinese New Year, it was always grandpa and grandma who were busy, and he would walk around the kitchen with Su Shi, drooling non-stop.It's a pity that this scene didn't last long, and the Chinese New Year was very deserted after my grandfather fell ill.

Standing at the school gate, Chen Luo quietly watched the busy teenagers inside the gate of the iron courtyard, and the snowflakes and drizzle gradually falling from the sky.

Su Chaoyang raised his head to look at the sky, then turned his gaze to Chen Luo, greeted him with a calm smile, and then continued to busy with the work in hand.

Just like facing any classmate who has a good or bad relationship, there is alienation in the kindness, familiarity in the alienation, and strangeness in the familiarity.

"I'm leaving." Chen Luo leaned against the courtyard door and looked into his eyes, not daring to miss anything.

"Bon voyage." Su Chaoyang gave a friendly blessing.

Chen Luo pursed his lips and smiled, let go of the courtyard door and took a step back: "See you in the college entrance examination." The leaving figure was calm and breezy.

Behind the short black hair, a sudden and slender white scar was exposed outside the hair, Su Zhaoyang lowered his eyes.

On the long Wutong road, Chen Luo, who was walking alone in the snow and rain, strode like stars, the rain dripped on the umbrella, and the cold wind made the dead leaves dance wildly on both sides of the road.Blowing away the warmth and irritability from the whole body.Today's departure is his deliberate decision, staying will only increase troubles and conflicts.After being discharged from the hospital and returning to the campus, he found that the person he least wanted to see was Su Chaoyang. Sitting in the same classroom, his heart was like a wilderness, and his days seemed like years.

Severe insomnia made him mentally weak, and when he closed his eyes and fell asleep, he could not resist thinking of the scene on the mountain that day.Like a dream in the clouds and mist.Although the contact was only for a moment, the powerful palm made him fall easily.But he was not shocked or afraid, his eyes calmly looked at the other party's dazed appearance, and the astonishment and shock after regaining clarity in the last moment.

Chen Luo could see clearly that the one standing there was not the Su Chaoyang of today.

The former Su Chaoyang resented him and hated him, but he never forgot about it, even if it was a bitter heart.

The hand stretched out to him seems to be a sinful revenge, but it is his own redemption and liberation.

Su Chaoyang, who has come back again, has someone he wants to be with, and the past will no longer exist...

If he was no longer resented, Chen Luo felt that he should be thankful. What he had racked his brains and tried his best but failed to do before, that force made him dare not take half a step, fearing that he would be burned to ashes.

When this day really came, he didn't feel the slightest sense of relief and rejoicing.

There are many ways to divert attention, stay, not to see him and others sweet.

A few days later, she received the report card, and Chen Luo was still No. 1. The person who came to get the report card was an aunt who claimed to be a nanny.Only then did everyone learn from their mouths that Chen Luo had temporarily suspended school and would not show up until the college entrance examination.The saddest thing to hear about this news was the class teacher, who didn't know anything about his student's suspension from the principal.I don't know if it's sick or something, don't worry too much, I blocked the principal and asked for a long time, but I didn't know anything.

The only thing that made Teacher Xu happy for a long time was that the school staff dormitory where he lived for many years was now transferred to them by the school for a nominal fee of only a few thousand dollars.

Teacher Xu, who lived in the same building as Teacher Xu, went to chat with Teacher Xu with a drink that night.

The two came to this high school to work at about the same time, and it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, and the children have finally made it through when they grow up.

"I had given up a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to turn around. Hahaha, my wife was very happy. In this way, even if we can't marry our son here, we can still provide for the elderly, and we don't need to buy a new house for our son in the future. It’s enough for them to live as a couple, and it can save a lot of money.”

"That's right, my wife no longer complains that the house is broken! Haha, no matter how broken it is, it's still my home."

Home, whether dilapidated or luxurious, must be a place with a sense of belonging.

"Since the old man passed away, I haven't been home for several years."

At the Wutong City Airport, Uncle Su and Aunt Su came out with their luggage. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, they felt timid because of their closeness to their hometown.From being admitted to university, my hometown and home have become the place behind me that I can go back to at any time but rarely go back to.Busy at ordinary times, busy during Chinese New Year, busy at home, mother left, father is old, no matter how busy he is, even he and his wife are slowly graying their hair.

The aunt patted his arm comfortingly: "Isn't he back? Quickly find where Chaoyang is, the child must have been waiting for a long time."

It was the Spring Festival travel airport in the crazy period, and there were crowds of people everywhere. Even though Su Chaoyang made obvious signs, it still took a lot of time to reconcile with the uncle's family.

"Uncle! Auntie!"

Seeing the two of them first, Su Chaoyang quickly stepped forward and gave them an excited hug.

"Chaoyang, you are so tall? Hahaha, good boy, I really admire you."

"179 centimeters, it will surpass you soon." Su Chaoyang smiled. The uncle is 186 centimeters tall, but now that he is older, he has shrunk a little.

"Not bad, is your dad busy?"

"It's time for him to go home now. Get in the car and see who's driving it?"

Su Chaoyang's family didn't have a car, so he told Su Shi to drive out.

Su Shi saw that Uncle Su was somewhat reserved and embarrassed that he couldn't hold his head up. He cut his hair short and dyed it black last night. Because of this, Su Chaoyang almost died of a joke.

"Uncle, Uncle, Aunt."

"Haha, so it's you! You're not bad, you bought a car at such a young age."

"Where is it? I borrowed it from a friend."

"Don't be modest, your uncle said that you are a person with ideas in your heart, and saving a fortune proves that you have grown up."

Su felt a warm feeling in his heart, it seemed that the uncle knew what he was doing but didn't have the slightest intention of objecting or looking down on him.

Just as Chen Yihao and his wife got out of the car, they suddenly heard a rather familiar voice, reacted and hurriedly pulled his wife, Madam Chen was surprised: "Oh, it's Dean Su and Director Ye."

The husband and wife rushed forward to say hello together, Chen Luo, who didn't know why, got out of the car slowly, and couldn't help blinking when he saw someone he knew well, and followed him hesitantly.

"Dean Su, Mrs. Su, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here, to go home for the New Year?" Chen Yihao shook hands with Uncle Su and his wife friendly.

"Boss Chen, Mrs. Chen, I haven't seen you two for many years."

The two old couples kept coming and going in a polite manner.

When Su Shi recognized Chen Yihao, his eyes were pierced, and his face was full of disbelief.Seeing Chen Luo standing silently behind, Su was even more horrified. Chen Luo was indeed not simple, and he did not expect to be the nephew of the richest man in the province.

Today's Chen Luo is a bit different. He has taken off his student attire and is wearing a well-tailored custom-made suit. Although he is fat, his temperament has completely changed. He just stands there quietly and leisurely with one hand in his mouth, without unnecessary words or movements. It seems that the whole body is full of self-confidence and stability, full of a battle-tested elite.

Chen Luo looked away, while Su Chaoyang was also silent.

Chen Yihao finally got involved with Chen Luo, and enthusiastically introduced to Uncle Su: "This is my nephew, Chen Luo, and he will be my successor from now on. Xiao Luo, these two are top doctors from our province, your grandparents Both I and my aunt have been helped by them..."

Chen Luo pulled out his hand politely, and Uncle Su couldn't wait to pull Su Chaoyang: "Boss Chen, this is my nephew's son, who seems to be about the same age as your nephew, how old is Xiao Luo? Where does he study?"

Su Chaoyang smiled stiffly.

Chen Luo answered before Chen Yihao: "I'm taking a break from school now, Uncle, if I don't leave, I won't be able to catch the plane."

"It's nerve-wracking. I have something to go abroad now. When I get a chance, I will definitely drink a few glasses of wine with Dr. Su to warm up...see you later."

"Good to go."

Uncle Su and his wife said goodbye to them, and Chen Luo walked up to Chen Yihao and said lightly, "Uncle, don't talk about your successor in the future."

Chen Yihao was dissatisfied: "Why can't you say, I have no children, whoever will succeed you if you don't succeed."

Chen Luo shook her head, she didn't need to look at him to know how bad her aunt's face was. Without Cheng Yaojin like him, she always hoped that her entertainment company and her husband's business would be left to her natal nephew in the future, at least it would be better than giving it to outsiders.

It's a pity that Chen Luo who came back suddenly is not an outsider.

"Chaoyang, your dad calls back and brags that you are especially good at cooking. Is it true? I will see you today. Those pickled peppers and pickles you brought me, ouch, I can't eat other dishes because they are so delicious. Did you really do those?"

Su Chaoyang proudly said, "I'll let you guys see it later."

Su chimed in: "It's indeed made by Chaoyang. I often go to eat. Uncle, didn't you say that your cousin and brother-in-law want to come back together?"

"The highway they drove left earlier than us, and it is estimated that they will arrive later."

"It's congested and cold now, and it's too tiring to take the high speed." Su Chaoyang frowned.

"Young people can do whatever they want."

Laughing and laughing all the way home, getting closer and closer to Wutong Road, the uncle stopped talking, quietly watching the street outside through the glasses, smiling at the corner of his mouth, without saying a word.

"Uncle, here we are."

"Um……"

Standing in front of the familiar old building, Uncle Su was filled with emotion.

The last time he came back was when his old father passed away. He was full of regret and sadness, but nothing would change. He still wanted to be an egret who left his hometown.

When I get older, I sometimes feel afraid. I fear that I will suddenly grow old one day but I will not be able to go home in time. I am afraid that the times are changing too fast, and when I come back, I can’t find the Indus Road in my memory.

"Brother." Su Da hurried forward to greet him, his joy was self-evident.

"Little brother, you haven't changed at all." Uncle Su patted him on the shoulder with appreciation in his eyes.

Su Chaoyang took Su Shi to the kitchen to help with the cooking. There were two more people at noon, and he quickly prepared lunch.

The whole family was beaming after a meal, and my aunt couldn't even close her teeth when she smiled, and she dragged Uncle Su to chatter non-stop, while Aunt Su was joking around.

"Little brother, go to the mountain with me in the afternoon."

Su Da hesitated: "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days, and then the whole family will go to say goodbye to the New Year together."

Uncle Su shook his head: "I will definitely go to the New Year's Eve. I want to go there first. I haven't come back for Dad's anniversary and the third anniversary. I should go and see." Business was booming, so Uncle Su hurriedly said, "You can go and do your work. I'll let the two children take me there."

"Okay, dad, don't worry, I will take good care of uncle."

"Your aunt is very tired. Let her have a good rest at home in the afternoon."

Su Chaoyang understood his uncle's feelings very well. He was saddened by the helplessness of leaving his hometown, but he refused to look back without hesitation.He is reluctant to give up, but he will not regret his choice, because he has someone he wants to protect, daughter, wife, and wherever there are them, he will definitely follow.

Especially at this time, it is the most difficult moment for the uncle.Because he will eventually choose to leave this homeland, from now on, he will be a real wanderer.

The cemetery of Grandpa Su and Grandma Su is in Qifeng Cemetery not far from Fairy Mountain.

After arriving at the destination and kowtowing, Su Chaoyang took Su Shi to the pavilion next to him, leaving his uncle alone.

Su didn't understand Uncle Su's mood. What he saw was Uncle Su's success and his honorable return. Those big figures were very proud of him when they saw him.

However, Su Chaoyang remembered the same torment as Uncle Su.

The young and the young left home and returned to their hometown.

The uncle started to leave home, and when he really got old and came back, he walked through the bustling city with his trembling body, and saw with his own eyes that there was no home in his hometown, and the only thing that remained unchanged was this cemetery, where his father died mother, and his brother.

At that moment, the uncle was really old.

And he, who was no longer young, chose to stay in his hometown in the same year. Except for seeing his uncle for the last time, he never set foot in another country in his whole life.

He is not an uncle. An uncle has a small family consisting of a daughter and a wife in a foreign country, and he would rather die far away.

He has nothing.

Time allowed him to heal even the pain.

Since you are no longer escaping, why leave again.

The nursing home is the final destination he arranged for himself.

Most people there have one thing in common.

Orphans, widows, old people.

In his life, he hoped not to set foot there.
