Gu Qing reborn

In late November, Gu Qing received his first month's salary after working in the Qin family.

I haven't been home for almost three months. Gu Qing plans to go back to City C. As winter is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder. The cold salad business may not be able to continue. He can't let go of his mother. At the same time, he still wants to find I had the opportunity to go back to the previous orphanage. Although my current financial situation is not ideal, Gu Qing thinks that there should be no problem in sending 500 yuan a month.

After explaining the reason to Qin Liyang, Gu Qing bought a train ticket to go home on Saturday morning.

Winter is really coming, and the trees that were still lush when we left have now turned crispy yellow, revealing a sense of desolation.

Through the woods, there is a long and narrow alley in front.

Gu Qing didn't expect that in just three months, the alleys today are completely different.The residential buildings that were originally densely arranged on both sides were pushed to a large area, rubble, broken wood, and broken iron lay horizontally, and dust and gravel suddenly flew up when a gust of wind blew by.Devastated, desolate and lonely.

Gu Qing felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace, and when he reached the end, he turned his head and walked into another deep alley.

It was still the same old-fashioned three-story residential building, still with blackened and peeling concrete walls with cracked cracks, but Gu Qing still felt a different atmosphere from the past—silence.

Yes, it was a cold silence that penetrated the skin.Although the alleys in the past were dilapidated, they were full of children playing, old women chatting and women talking and laughing, and they were extremely lively, but today's alleys are lonely and silent.Apart from the sound of excavators working in the distance, Gu Qing couldn't hear a single human voice. Was it his own illusion?

Inside the corridor, there is a mess, wooden chairs, iron pans, and clothes are lying on the ground in a mess. The yellowed and blackened walls are bright red paint colors that are criss-crossed in disorder, which is shocking to the eye.Gu Qing panicked for no reason, knocked on the door urgently, and kept yelling, "Mom, mom, open the door quickly...Mom..."

The thin wooden door never gave any response.

He frantically took out his mobile phone from his satchel, and the time display was 31:[-] in the afternoon. Gu Qing comforted himself that his mother should still be in the vegetable market, shopping there, and hadn’t come home yet.

Opening the backpack and finding the key in the wallet from the bottom, Gu Qing twisted the keyhole, and the door was easily opened from the outside.

"boom……"

The sound of the backpack falling suddenly resounded.

Gu Qing ran into the house like crazy.The two flimsy windows were all smashed, and the potted plants in front of the window sill were also unscathed, overturned on the ground, leaving a pile of debris and soil.

This was obviously done by someone!

Gu Qing was really confused, panicked, and anxious.

Gu's mother is his only relative after rebirth. This kind woman who loves him, loves him, and cherishes him let him know the love of family and mother. The pain and sorrow of not having a relative in the previous life has always been hidden in the deepest part of Gu Qing's heart. He chose to deliberately forget, but this moment resurfaced in his mind again. Gu Qing admitted that when it comes to family and relatives, he always seems so fragile and hysterical. People who have never been abandoned will never be able to understand him. Sad, he just doesn't want to lose again, he just wants to protect a home with his own efforts, he just wants to get a warmth.

Gu Qing wanted to call the phone in his hand, but suddenly remembered that his mother didn't have a mobile phone. He was very annoyed, why didn't he listen to the advice and didn't buy a mobile phone.Just when Gu Qing was about to go out to search the vegetable market, a deep and hoarse old man's voice suddenly came from outside the room: "Is it Gu Qing?"

Gu Qing hurriedly turned her head, but saw that it was Grandma Yang from the neighbor's opposite.

"Grandma Yang?" Gu Qing called out, then ran over, "Grandma, do you know where my mother is?"

"Hey, poor baby, your mother has been hit in the head and is staying in the hospital now."

The old man sighed, his words filled with endless sympathy and pity.

"Hitted?" The scene of the car accident flashed through Gu Qing's mind, as if a piece of his heart had been gouged out, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, "Grandma, what happened, where is my mother at the hospital?"

Hearing Gu Qing's question, the old man's face immediately changed into dissatisfaction and resentment, his hands and feet trembled, and tremblingly told Gu Qing the cause and effect of the whole incident.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Gu Qing extravagantly took a taxi to rush to the hospital. If he took the subway and then transferred to the bus, it would take more than two hours, but he couldn't wait now, and his heart was full of the facts told by Grandma Yang and his mother's injury. pain.

Demolition!

In the economically developed province A, city C is considered a slow-growing city, but it has a lot of land. In recent years, a new leadership team of the city government has come to power. Methods.Many high-rise buildings rose from the ground in an instant, the cityscape and public facilities were repaired, and the government offered preferential tax policies, many investors took their eyes and flocked to it.Land prices kept rising, real estate developers invested one after another, and the high land transfer fees blinded the government's eyes, and land transfer certificates were flying around.

The deep alley where Gu Qing lived could not escape the fate of demolition.

The developer held a letter of approval stamped with a red seal, and after paying less than [-] yuan in compensation to each household, he ordered the residents in the alley to move out.

The residents are not willing to leave, most of them are migrant workers who come to C City to work, and they have been working and living here for more than ten years. Although this house is rented, it has already become a second home in their hearts.Even if it is not out of emotion, economically, it is not easy for them to move out of here in just half a month.The people in the alleys are one of the most labor-intensive people in this city, but they live a life of the lowest level. Keeping food and clothing and sending their children to school are everyone's limit. How can there be extra spare money to find another house? Thousands of dollars The compensation is really nothing in city C where house prices and land prices are rising day by day.

Residents refused to cooperate with the relocation, and the developer came to the door all day under the banner of public interests and the government. At first, it was a peaceful persuasion, but later it evolved into blatant verbal threats and coercion. Until now, it has hired people to attack at night, splash paint and smash windows. .This is of course based on personal speculation, but after carefully connecting the cause and effect of the incident, Gu Qing feels that he has not wronged those developers. This kind of dirty things behind the scenes has long been common.

This world is not only pure black and white, but more fuzzy gray. The scale of "justice" is entangled with too many interests and cannot be balanced. Although he is a law major, Gu Qing is not one of those students who stay in an ivory tower all day long. How can true and pure fairness and justice exist? It was just a dream, at least so far, a distant dream.

Gu's mother was injured in the fight in the morning.

The developer tried hard and soft, but it still didn't work, so he brought a large group of people to the alley in the morning. The men in the alley stopped going out to work, and they all gathered at the entrance of the alley with their wives, children and the elderly.The quarrel between the two parties continued, and in the end, it was unknown which side started to move the hand, and they started beating. Mama Gu was crowded in the crowd and couldn't move freely. Ishigami, the back of his head was full of red blood.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. If he was at home, it would be impossible for his mother to have such an accident.

When Gu Qing arrived at the hospital, Mother Gu was lying on a recliner in the hospital receiving an IV drip, with a circle of white gauze on her forehead, and a middle-aged nurse standing beside her, her mouth opened and closed quickly.

When Gu Qing approached, he heard her words clearly

"You have to think about it carefully. This injury is to the head. It can be big or small. Don't be blind and short-sighted. It's not worth it to save a few pennies and get sick. It's safer to stay in the hospital for an examination."

Gu's mother didn't speak, but a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Hey, you say you, forget it, this life is yours anyway, you don't cherish it, what am I doing here for nothing?"

The nurse saw that the other party was so stubborn and looked ugly, so she turned her head and left after speaking.

"Azi, why are you here?" As soon as the nurse left, her eyes widened, and Mama Gu saw Gu Qing who was walking forward at a glance, struggling to get up from the reclining chair.

Gu Qing hurried forward and held her body, "Mom, lie down and don't move."

"Azi, why are you back now?"

After Mama Gu was supported, she asked again, but her eyes flickered.

"Mom, if I don't come back, are you planning to never tell me?" Gu Qing squatted down and looked up at his mother solemnly.

For such a big matter, his mother chose not to tell him at all. Gu Qing was a little unhappy, but he was not angry at his mother's concealment. He knew that everything the other party did was only for himself. What Gu Qing was angry about was his own incompetence and unfilial piety. If he had the ability to let his mother live in a better house, if he could stay by his mother's side, nothing would happen today.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Looking at his mother's tired and pale cheeks and the red gauze on the back of her head, Gu Qing felt her eyes hurt, so she quickly lowered her head, he couldn't let her notice the wet marks in her eye sockets.

"Azi..."

"Mom," Gu Qing took a few breaths to hold back the tears that were about to fall, and raised his head, "Mom, let's listen to the doctor and go to the hospital for a full body checkup."

Looking at her son's red eyes, Gu's mother felt uncomfortable, but thinking about the current situation at home, she hesitated again.

"Mom, I only have you left." Gu Qing held his mother's hands, which were rough and yellowed.

Gu's mother was finally willing to stay in the hospital for examination.

Seeing this, Gu Qing finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. Thinking that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, he ran out to buy two light boxed lunches and a bag of fruit.

After satisfying his hunger, Gu Qing washed another apple, took out the knife on the keychain, and peeled it carefully.

"Mom, let's move." After cutting the fruit into pieces and handing it to his mother, Gu Qing said suddenly. The developer held a legal transfer letter in his hand. Demolition is a sure thing.

"Can't move!" Mother Gu replied firmly without taking the apple.

It was the first time for Gu Qing to see such a resolute expression of Gu's mother, his heart froze, and he forgot the movements of his hands, staring blankly at the strange mother in front of him.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu's mother regretted saying such a harsh tone to her son, but she was determined not to move out of the house. That house kept all the beautiful memories of her past love and carried all the happiness of her family. , and that person... Anyway, she won't move out.

"Mom, what if it's for me?"

Mother Gu paused.

After a long time, she finally nodded in agreement.
