Chapter 1154 Mom, may you live a long life!
"Fatty, change the water!"
"Fatty, change the water!"
"Fatty, change the water!"
Li Xiangnan had no idea how many times he had shouted this sentence tonight.
Not to mention how much water was changed to give Ge Dongxu a bath, even just to wash his hair, it took five large thermos of boiling water.
Lei Jin, Wang Defa, Wang Qishi and the other four went back and forth countless times to get cold water from the sink in front of the cafeteria.
After all the torment, Wang Defa felt like his old waist was about to break!
It was not until Xiao Li shouted stop, took Ge Dongxu out of the shower room, and pushed him under the street light in a wheelchair to give him a haircut that everyone started to smoke under the big tree behind the cafeteria.
"Brother Qi, I see that you are not doing well either! You need to take care of your old waist!" Wang Defa, holding a cigarette in his mouth and crossing his legs, glanced at Wang Qi who was hitting his waist, and chuckled.
"How dare you talk about me like that! I have two kids, I've accomplished my mission, and you don't even have a partner, aren't you also covering your waist?" Wang Qi glanced at him sideways, bringing up something that was irrelevant.
Wang Defa sat up, glared at him and said, "Brother Qi, this is not the way to chat!"
Everyone started to laugh.
Seeing Zheng Qian sweeping water in the shower room, Defa patted his butt, stood up, and went in to look around.
"What are you looking for?" Zheng Qian picked up the flashlight on the stool and handed it to him.
"It's okay!" Wang Defa didn't find his things, so he waved his hand and prepared to go out.
"Are you looking for this?" Zheng Qian suddenly raised the soap wrapped in a work glove from the side. At this moment, it had been ground into pieces from a whole piece.
"Fuck! Is this all that's left?" Wang Defa's mouth twitched instantly.
He now spends most of his time sleeping on a folding bed in the hospital and takes a bath here. He had only bought this piece of soap from the supply and marketing cooperative two days ago and he couldn't bear to use it!
"I'll talk to the dean tomorrow and compensate you with a bar of soap!" Zheng Qian smiled and covered his mouth.
Leaning his head to take a look at Li Xiangnan who was getting his hair cut outside, Wang Defa shook his head and said, "Forget it. Just do good things without worrying about the future! I'll buy it myself!"
"This child is such a waste of soap..."
Listening to Defa's mumbling, Zheng Qian covered his mouth and laughed until his stomach hurt.
"Look, how refreshing!"
Just as Wang Defa was about to sit down in front of Lei Jin and the others, he heard Li Xiangnan shaking his hair. He immediately straightened up and followed Wang Qi over. He was surprised to see Ge Dongxu after he finished his shower. "Oh, he's quite handsome! Little Ge, look at what a great guy you are!"
As he spoke, he handed over the mirror hanging on the tree.
Ge Dongxu didn't stretch out his hand, so Li Xiangnan took it and moved in front of him to show it to him.
With so many people around, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but become nervous again. He lowered his head and dared not speak or look up at the mirror.
Li Xiangnan silently waved his hand upon seeing this. Everyone looked at each other, sighed slightly, and moved away.
"Dongxu!"
Gong Xinmei walked out from the stairs quickly and saw her son's handsome face under the light of the evening light, which was completely different from the disheveled face when he came out of home. She was stunned by the surprise.
"Son, look at yourself. You look so good, so clean and refreshed. You look so energetic! Mom is so happy for you!" Gong Xinmei couldn't help hugging her son and putting the coat in her hand on him. "This is Dr. Ming's eldest brother's coat that she brought home. Mom will put it on for you!"
After he was dressed, Gong Xinmei liked her son more and more. She held his head and kissed his forehead hard, crying with joy: "Son, Mom can finally see you living in the sunshine and sitting in the evening breeze! Mom's heart has been trembling with excitement all day today..."
Li Xiangnan glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Aunt Gong, push Xiao Ge around the campus and let him take a look. This is Yenching University, an institution of higher learning that all students in the world dream of! Let him appreciate it! See what his peers are doing!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Gong Xinmei nodded continuously and pushed her son away happily.
The leaves of the sycamore tree rustled in the evening breeze, and the light sound of the wheelchair wheels rolling over the green bricks startled a few dandelions.
As they watched the mother and son walking away, the mother excitedly told her son about everything around her, and everyone couldn't take their eyes off them.
\"Does this look like the plant specimens you made in elementary school...\" Gong Xinmei's voice carried the memories of time, and her fingertips brushed across her son's knees, where several sycamore leaves of various shapes were piled.
The students passing by unconsciously slowed down their footsteps, the girl holding a book turned off the radio on her chest, and a group of boys in jerseys stopped in a hurry and startled the butterfly resting on the back of the chair.
Fire started from Wang Defa's fingertips, and he saw through the smoke that Gong Xinmei suddenly bent down to tie her son's shoelaces.
Her half-kneeling position made her back arched, but the evening light filtering through her hair was so warm that it made one's eyes burn.
Thousands of similar silhouettes are superimposed in everyone's fixed gaze.
The back of a man cooking porridge in the kitchen in the morning, the umbrella leaning at the school gate on a rainy day, the needle and thread mending school uniform buttons late at night, the money sewn into the inner collar of a sweater before getting married...
Those memories that had been worn out by time suddenly became vivid, like old film re-dyed with color.
What they see is not someone else's mother, but an eternal reflection in the long river of time - when the silver hair will eventually climb up to the temples, when the steps begin to stagger, every child will silently pray at this moment: Mom, you live a hundred years!
"Let's go back to the duty room and sleep!"
Looking back and seeing that Wang Defa's eyes were red, Li Xiangnan put his arm around his shoulders and took him away from those parts of his life that were missing.
That night, time passed slowly and quietly. It was the first day that Ge Dongxu walked out of his home after ten years.
He didn't close his eyes the whole night.
……
At noon.
A car slowly stopped in front of the Image Building. Song Yi got out of the car, but instead of going into the building, she ran to the window of Li Xiangnan's office, knocked on it, and shouted, "Let's go, time is almost up, it will take another half an hour to get there!"
Li Xiangnan was discussing with Defa about the framework of the agreement for cooperation with the 15th Factory's defibrillator. Hearing the movement at the window, he smiled and said, "Defa, let's go and help Xiao Ge!"
"Take him with you?" Wang Defa was a little surprised.
"Yeah!" Li Xiangnan nodded, walked over and opened the window, and said with a smile: "Can we bring another friend?"
"No problem!" Song Yi nodded and pointed to the car, "I'll wait for you over there!"
Three minutes later, she raised her wrist to look at her watch by the car. As soon as she put her hand down, she was a little surprised and even more confused.
Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa actually carried a young man who couldn't walk out of the building.
However, Song Yi knew that this was not the time to explain, so she hurried over to help open the car door. After the three people squeezed into the car one after another, she got into the passenger seat and shouted to Song Zimo, "Let's go to the Nanshatong execution ground!"
Ge Dongxu at the back was shocked, and his legs felt like they were being sieved.
Li Xiangnan calmly held his feet and said, "Don't be afraid, Dongxu. Today I just want you to see that bad people will always get their comeuppance in this world. If they commit evil, they will be severely punished in the end!"
The amplitude of the tremor suddenly became smaller, and then gradually calmed down.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Nanshatong execution ground, which was on the west bank of the Yongding River near Lugou Bridge.
"So many people?" Wang Defa exclaimed.
The river bank in the distance was crowded with people, and heads were everywhere. It was obvious that they were people from the surrounding areas who came to watch the fun.
When the Song family's eye-catching Red Flag car drove over, the crowd was in an uproar.
When the vehicle stopped, Qiao Henwan pulled Jiang Qitao over to meet them.
"To the south," Qiao Henwan pointed to an area separated by a cordon with his mouth, "Look over there, a lot of people from the Mu family have come!"
Li Xiangnan's heart moved, and he saw through the car window that there was indeed a very special area. It should be the family area arranged by the Municipal Bureau. At this moment, it was full of people standing in an orderly manner.
And there, a polarized scene is unfolding at the moment.
There was crying and commotion in the other nine areas, and it was obvious that some family members could not bear the upcoming execution.
The area that Qiao Henwan mentioned seemed out of place in this bustling scene, as they were all sitting there.
And this is out of place and seems particularly strange.
Because there were two groups of people there, one group looked obviously sad and angry, while the other group was relatively calm.
"Get out of the car!" Song Yi reminded, "Zimo, help Xiaoge!"
pat!
The door was pushed open.
At this moment, the Hongqi car, which had already become the focus of the whole audience, was once again locked on by countless people at the scene.
Li Xiangnan stepped out of the car.
The two groups of people from the Mu family looked over instantly, and everyone stood up...
