Spring River Chasing the Moon

Chapter 2: My Grandfather

After Yang Qian's funeral, everyone's work returned to their normal pace.

On a gloomy day, Luo Youyou saw his grandfather Luo Jiasheng leaving the house early in the morning and walking towards the village entrance.

Luo Jiasheng retired from the front line due to injury many years ago and works in logistics. He rarely travels far, especially at this time.

Luo Youyou felt something was wrong, so she followed him and found that Luo Jiasheng had gone to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the same hospital.

Luo Jiasheng thought about it for many days and decided to find out who Luo Zhong’s biological parents were before considering whether to exchange his biological child back.

But it has indeed been too long, and the hospital's archived data from that time are still handwritten, making it difficult to find.

He thought of the little nurse from that year, so he asked around and finally found her home address. The next day, Luo Jiasheng went to the little nurse's home with some fruits and tea.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Luo Jiasheng told the nurse that it was his wife who was dying. She talked about the special care that the couple had taken for her in the hospital. She never had the chance to thank them. She hoped to get some news about the couple. He would definitely express his gratitude to them when he had the chance, so as to fulfill his wife's last regret.

The young nurse didn't think much about it. In fact, she always remembered the couple.

After all, he was one of the few important people she had met.

"Oh, speaking of this guy, you've actually been in the army, so you should be familiar with him. Back then, he was a rare sight for a nobody like us, and now he's even more incredible. There's no shortage of people thanking him."

As she spoke, the young nurse took out an old newspaper and pointed at the man in it, "Look, that's him."

When Luo Youyou saw Luo Jiasheng's back, she suddenly tensed up and leaned over to take a look to see what her grandfather looked like.

Luo Youyou doesn’t usually pay attention to the news, and she doesn’t know who the people in the newspaper are. She just remembers the name below - Nanzhou Yue.

"It turns out that he is my grandfather."

Luo Jiasheng returned home in a daze.

Along the way, it seemed as if there were two people tearing at each other inside his body. One person reminded him to tell the truth; the other person told him that he should keep it secret.

How could Luo Zhong bear knowing the truth about his own son growing up in such a family? But if he didn't tell her, what would Luo Zhong do...

In the evening, Luo Zhong returned home and found Luo Jiasheng sitting alone in the yard, smoking. He thought his father was still immersed in the emotions of his mother's death, so he sat next to Luo Jiasheng and kept him company without saying a word.

Luo Jiasheng had actually noticed that Luo Zhong had returned home a long time ago, but he didn't call him because he didn't know how to face this "son" with such a good mood.

Luo Jiasheng suddenly thought of Luo Zhong’s only daughter, Luo Youyou.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Luo Youyou's grandfather was not him, he would not have lost his life so early because of working too hard.

Thinking about it this way, I owe Luo Zhong even more.

"After telling the truth, can Luo Zhong still forgive himself? The child who was taken away, who was used to a life of luxury, can he come back to live such an ordinary life?"

Luo Youyou looked at Luo Jiasheng who was constantly thinking and became anxious. Why didn’t his grandfather tell the truth? Did he want his father to never be able to return to his biological parents?

"Ah Zhong, I have something to tell you."

Luo Jiasheng put out his cigarette, stomped on the butt, looked at Luo Zhong's face, and made up his mind, "Your mother is gone. You and your eldest brother will live separately from now on. I will give you some money when the time comes. You can buy a house in town and live well with your wife."

"It's not easy for your wife either. Youyou is gone, she has been sad, and her health has deteriorated a lot. You might as well leave here and go find her parents. It will be better to have relatives around. You don't have to worry about home in the future. Your elder sister and brother will take good care of me."

Although Luo Zhong didn't understand why his father made such arrangements, when he thought of his wife and his lost daughter, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Luo Youyou, who was wandering nearby, saw all this and felt that he had overestimated human nature. But it was not surprising that Luo Jiasheng still chose to conceal the truth, after all, too many people were involved.

In fact, even if he said it, he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause. For the father, half of his most precious time has passed, and his daughter is gone. He doesn't know whether his parents, whom he has never met, will accept him. It is indeed better to live a good life with his beloved wife.

"I just hope that I won't have to work so hard in my next life."

Suddenly Luo Youyou began to become weak. When she woke up again, she was back in 1997, five years old.

It took her three days to accept this fact. Since God gave her a chance to start over, she would not repeat the same mistakes this time. The first thing she had to do was to let her father go to South City.

-

Luo Youyou did not go to his neighbor Xiaomei's house to play, but turned around and went to his grandfather's house in town.

The main reason was that Luo Zhongzheng was in the army and had no leave, and the school where Chen Lili worked was far away from home, so they usually only went home on weekends. So although Luo Youyou was eager to see them, there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, her grandfather's house was not far away.

My grandfather is not actually from Haicheng, but my grandmother is.

Luo Youyou's maternal grandfather Chen Ze not only taught in the Chinese painting department of Nancheng University many years ago, but was also one of the best Chinese painting masters in the country.

But because my grandmother was not in good health at the time, and the two old people were not young anymore, my grandfather retired early and took my grandmother back to her hometown, back to this seaside town with beautiful mountains and rivers, fresh air, and little industrial development.

It is actually not far from the village to the town, but it is indeed a difficult hurdle for Luo Youyou, who is now five years old.

Not only can this short leg not move, but it also has no physical strength.

This was the first time she walked outside after her rebirth. The road was not yet paved with cement. There were only a few tall buildings in the distance, and there was no greenery either. It was bare.

But the air, mixed with the scent of earth and grass, was soothing. In his previous life, Luo Youyou was either working overtime or on his way to work overtime. It had been a long time since he had looked at the scenery along the road, nor had he relaxed like this in a long time.

After walking and running for almost twenty minutes, I finally arrived at my grandfather's house.

My grandfather designed his own house. It is a quiet and elegant Chinese-style courtyard located in a corner of the bustling city, making it a unique place.

Luo Youyou ran to the steps at the door, banging on it and shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma, Youyou is here, open the door quickly."

After a long while, the door slowly opened.

Through the crack in the door, Luo Youyou saw that her grandmother Li Muzhi's eyes changed from surprise to joy. Luo Youyou quickly stepped over the threshold and hugged her tightly, "Grandma, I miss you so much."

After saying this, he began to sob.
