Gu has never opposed his mother's remarriage. In his view, a rose-like mother should not wither gradually in the years.
In the two years just after her death, my mother was really in a bad mood. Like an abandoned child, she panicked and bit her lip with tears in her eyes. Said nothing, the breath that supported her was drawn from the depths of her spirit.
Before that, Gu never knew that a person could age ten years in an instant. Although he knows that his parents' feelings have always been good, he can live or die, but life is normal and he is very sad. In the end, he must accept it.
Gastric cancer has been going on for some time, but it was already advanced when it was discovered. Mother cried her eyes out, afraid that one day she would reach the place where you want to go. But this patient often holds her hand to comfort her and tells her that everything will be all right.
Will it get better? Gu didn't know that at the age of eight, he could only stay by the bed and watch his mother cry until her eyes were red and swollen and gaunt.
On the morning of leaving, my mother had a hunch. She gets up at five o'clock and cooks her favorite pumpkin porridge in the kitchen. But she either cut her hand while peeling a pumpkin, or accidentally poured a big jar into it when putting rock sugar.
The quality of the casserole used for nearly three years has been qualified, but it suddenly burst in the early morning that day, and Huang Chengcheng's soft glutinous porridge walked slowly along the broken edge. Mother suddenly seemed to realize something and trotted into the bedroom.
Gu Weixiang didn't hear her mother crying or see her shed a tear. It seems that my tears have run out these days.
Many people came to the funeral, as well as those who had never seen them before. Gu Weixiang followed his mother and stared blankly at those who comforted her. At that time, he first knew the true meaning of the word hypocrisy. Those who comforted their mothers were still sad about their mother's death a second ago, so they turned and changed their faces. Gu Weixiang saw a fat woman with her own eyes and said to the tall woman next to her with a smile, "Look at her, can't you be proud?"
Xiao Gu once had such a big temper. He rushed at the woman like a fast-spinning snail and pushed her to the ground.
The fat woman was unprepared, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell awkwardly to the ground.
"ouch!" The fat woman shouted, holding out her hand, waiting for someone to help her.
Mother grabbed Gu and saw that the slap was about to fall. When she saw that Gu's eyebrows were exactly the same as her husband's, she failed after all.
Poor mother, while feeling sorry for her husband, tried to cheer up and apologize, although she regretted what she had just done.
But he is a child, he will be wronged and sad, and he can't hide his emotions. He could only stare at the hypocritical woman in tears.
Later, he learned that the fat woman was her mother's college classmate. She was always jealous that her mother had a good home and married a man she also liked. However, when he was a child, he only thought that the woman who laughed and mourned was hateful. When he grew up, he only felt a chill in his memory. Even if you can't get it, you shouldn't laugh after death. People's hearts are really complicated.
My mother began to suffer from insomnia all night, and she barely slept for three or four hours every day on the medicine of the pharmacy. When she wakes up, she will keep a tight face and stare at the ceiling, not knowing what she is thinking.
During that time, my mother was in a trance, and Gu Wei was afraid of losing her mother one day.
In severe cases, my mother will fill an extra bowl when she is full of rice. It's not a subconscious habit, but she really doesn't remember that her husband is gone. She will urge Gu to wash her hands, and then go to the room to call someone out for dinner. Gu looked at her mother's normal expression and burst into tears with fear.
This situation lasted for two whole years. Gu dare not recall those difficult years. He was shocked. The average mother would often talk to herself in the room, but when she was awake, she would run to the street in the middle of the night and mutter, "Why didn't you come back to see me?"
Finally, this situation is almost life-threatening, because Gu has a high fever. Because of absent-mindedness, her mother didn't notice Gu's illness, so she delayed going to the hospital for three days. The doctor's rude criticism made mother clearly realize that she still had a son, which was the crystallization of her love with her husband. She let him go at the door because of her dereliction of duty.
After my mother got better, she packed everything, and there was still a residual smell at home. In order not to suffer any more, my mother moved to Gu Jia.

Grandfather said that mother is not miserable. Even without a husband, she still has a lifetime guarantee.
Yes, the money left is enough for Gu and his mother to spend their whole lives.
Grandpa also said that the most important thing for a woman is that a man is dead, but it is important for her to behave herself and not let others say that she has a new love after her husband's death.
At that time, Gu just went to junior high school and naturally understood the meaning of Grandpa's words. This is clear, the mother should save her life, don't move the idea of remarriage.
But his mother is only in her early thirties, and her charm remains the same. Even if she has only gone a third of her life, how can she spend the rest of her life with a dead person?
Although my mother ignored my grandfather, she didn't make a friend of the opposite sex after she left.
13-year-old Gu said to her mother, "Mom, why don't you find someone else?"
Mother touched his head and smiled and said, "Are we alone?"
Gu Wei shook his head like a rattle.
Mother sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't accept anyone else in my life."
Gu knows, how could he not know? The affection in his mother's eyes has always been given to him.
Because the rental house was to be taken back by the owner, Gu had to move out of the rental house with his mother, carrying big bags and small bags, blowing the evening breeze. To their shock, their choice is only their former home on the right hand side except the hotel on the left hand side.
Finally, my mother got up the courage to take him home. After all, home is home, with relatives and taste.
The house that has been idle for nearly three years is full of the chill of bone erosion. There was no electricity or water in the room, so Gu and his mother had to turn on the flashlight with their mobile phones, dig out brand-new bedding from the cupboard and replace the dusty bedding on the bed, barely making do all night.
The next day, my mother looked very good. She began to clean the house with a straight face. What is more, she sang a song.
Mother told Gu that she dreamed of him in this house every night since she left, but last night, she slept soundly and didn't dream.
The phone rang, but it was the landlord of the previous rental house. It turned out that my mother left something there, and the landlord picked it up when cleaning up the house, intending to return it to its original owner.
Mom was going to get it herself, but the landlord said she would go out, so it's better to drive it herself, so as to save her a trip again.
This is my mother's first meeting with the landlord. It was the landlord's mother who rented the house to my mother three years ago. The landlord has been abroad all these years, and he recently returned to China before he planned to take back his previous house.
Gu and his mother went outside the community. In the distance, a man in a dark green wool coat smiled and waved to them.
Men are very elegant, slender and tall, wearing rimless glasses and smiling gently and politely.
"Is it Ms. Chen Yuning?" Mr. landlord.
Mother nodded.
"My mother said that you are the cleanest and neatest of all tenants, and it is the same to return the house before renting it out." The landlord smiled and handed the brown paper bag to his mother.
Mom took it with a smile, but when she opened the paper bag, her smile froze. There is a Yu Pei my mother gave me in the brown paper bag. It was one of the gifts given to my mother in those years. My mother always carries it, and she lost it not long ago. She looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it.
"Excuse me, where have you been?" Mom.
"Next to the evergreen flowerpot on the balcony, the color may be a little close, you didn't notice." The landlord said.
Mom remembered that she really went to pick up the potted plants on the balcony the other day.
"Thank you, thank you, this jade is very important to me." Mother is very grateful to find such an important thing.
"It's okay, then I walked first. Your son is very handsome. " The man dropped this sentence and drove away.
Gu thinks the landlord is really an interesting person. He didn't expect everyone to meet again.

Half a month later, my mother received a letter from the landlord.
On the other end of the phone, the landlord was in a hurry. His mother fell in the bathroom and wouldn't let him in. There was nothing he could do, and he didn't know any female friends, so he had to take the liberty to interrupt and ask his mother if she could help him in the past.
Gu has homework to do. His mother told him to lock the door and left in a hurry with his mobile phone.
Gu waited until midnight, but his mother didn't come back. The next day, when he woke up, he smelled the smell of fried eggs.
Gu rubbed her messy hair and went out to find her mother preparing breakfast in the kitchen. In the direction of the living room, the landlord is sitting.
"Hello." The landlord greeted Gu with a smile.
Gu Lingwei responded and carefully got into the kitchen.
He squinted and smiled at his mother, which was the first time he had contacted a friend of the opposite sex after her death. Although I don't know much about it, after these two simple meetings, my intuition tells him that the landlord is a good man.
"Look at you, don't hurry to wash, lest you be late in the future." Mother took a spatula and glanced at Gu.
"Mom, this landlord is really good-looking." Gu made a face at his mother and slipped out quietly.
Simple vegetarian noodles with fried eggs and side dishes, mom's dishes have always been light. Vegetables float in the soup bowl, noodles are refreshing, and a bowl of vegetarian noodles is just like that, but Gu listened to the landlord's praise for more than ten sentences.
I don't know whether the steam is too hot or my mother can't be praised. Her white cheeks were flushed.
After breakfast, the landlord insisted on sending Gu to school. With ready-made means of transportation, Gu is too lazy to squeeze the bus any more. He jumped into the landlord's car with a smile and watched his mother stare at him with a frown. He just thinks that mom is really cute today.
"Handsome boy, I don't know your name yet." Mr. landlord.
"Gu Weixiang."
"How old are you? Can you still study hard? "
"I'm almost fourteen, and my study is just so-so."
"Can't careless, you like this later how to take care of your mother? You are the only man in your family. "
Gu doesn't know how the landlord knows about his family. It must be mentioned by the landlord's mother.
"Yes, my mother only has me." Gu Weixiang said, and bowed his head.
The landlord didn't say anything, but just after Gu got off the bus, he rolled down the window and said to Gu, "If you don't mind, we can be good friends. If you and your mother need help, you can call me at any time. "
Friends? The landlord seems to be in his thirties and wants to be friends with him. Not children, not elders, but friends. Gu likes this relationship very much, which shows that the landlord didn't treat him as a child.
Gu's footsteps became brisk and proud. This landlord is really an interesting person.
Gu soon received a gift from the landlord, Rui. Not only that, the landlord also asked Gu to bring a classical music box to his mother. Gu knew that the landlord's mind was not simple.
After receiving the gift, mother scolded Gu Wei. But when she opened the box, there were some. This music box is exactly the same as the one her husband gave her when he pursued her, except that it was lost in the process of moving. This reminds her of many good memories with her husband.
In return, she had to start thinking about whether to invite the landlord to dinner.
Gu naturally reached out his hands to show his agreement. After getting along these days, he became more and more fond of this man who suddenly broke into his mother's world.
The music box given to Gu's mother by the landlord has a unique appearance, but it seems to have a history of several years. I wonder if the battery is broken and I can't make a sound.
Gu Weixiang asked her mother about the landlord by innuendo. Her mother knows what Gu Weixiang means. She just said, "It's good to be friends."

At the weekend, at Gu's request, my mother finally decided to invite the landlord to dinner. The landlord suggested going to a private kitchen, and I didn't know until I arrived. It was Gu who said he would take them, but he never made it.
After entering the restaurant, Gu Weiliang watched his mother's smile disappear a little. He looked around, realized the problem and frowned.
"Let's go to another store to eat. I think this is not very good. " Gu Wei made an excuse.
"I feel quite good." The landlord avoided Gu's eyes and went upstairs by himself.
Gu is very annoyed. He is obviously hinting at the landlord. Can't the landlord see the change of his mother's expression?
Mother went upstairs without saying a word and sat in the private room of the "Far Mountain Pavilion", expressionless.
Gu is worried that her mother will lose control of her emotions in the next second. All the paintings hanging on the wall of this restaurant were painted by her own hands. His construction project also has a sideline, that is painting.
Those bright colors, rough lines and bold composition are the usual characteristics of painting.
Each painting has a unique signature in the lower right corner. At this moment, those chic and casual fonts fell into my mother's eyes, as if asking her why she came to this restaurant with other men.
Before he died, he proposed to come here to celebrate his wedding anniversary. He once mentioned that there was his secret here. Unexpectedly, he died before that day.
Gu kept staring at her mother's expression, and saw that she mechanically took the menu and leafed through it, her eyes were empty.
"No need to order, just order what I ordered on weekdays, plus a spicy boneless chicken, a Chinese yam kale and a lotus root powder ball." The landlord took the menu from his mother and handed his own to the waiter.
Finally, when my mother saw the favorite pattern printed in the dish, she could no longer control her emotions and ran out of the door.
Do you remember how rude her mother was that day? Always dignified and generous, she cried all the way and finally fell in the dirty snow.
She was half lying on the ground, clutching the lamppost and crying in despair. Gu has never seen her mother like this. Even in the two years after she left, she just shed tears silently and looked in a trance. However, at this moment, she has been unable to consider the strange eyes of people around her, and tears are streaming down her face.
"I forgot, today is 65438+February 13, I forgot!" Mother cried out of breath.
Gu's heart sank, 65438+February 65438+March, parents' wedding anniversary.
He didn't know how to comfort his mother, so he squatted beside her and patted her on the back.
"Mom, get up, don't be sad, let's go home." GuWeiHuan stuffy track.
The landlord tried to help, but Gu pushed him away.
"What do you want to do? Can't you see that my mother doesn't want to go to that store? " Gu Wei ring shout at top of voice.
The landlord didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he said, "I am the owner of that restaurant, and Gu Zhinian is my friend."
In Gu Nian, it rang.

Since we broke up with the landlord that day, everyone seems to have lost courage.
The days are still plain as white water, and life is still the original trajectory.
Gu only knows that her mother is becoming more and more silent, but she has been doing things and won't stop to rest. The ironed sheets will be turned out again by her before ironing, and the white shoes will be soaked in water before brushing.
Gu later learned that the landlord Gu Zhinian and he have been friends for many years.
The landlord appreciated Gu Zhinian's paintings very much, so he bought a private restaurant at a high price to decorate his family business.
They not only talk about painting, but also about each other's family life. Gu Zhinian always tells the landlord about his virtuous wife and lovely son.
When the landlord's mother told him that she had rented the house to a mother and son, and rambled about the story of the mother and son, the landlord noticed them.
After returning home, he found the name "Chen Yuning" when sorting out the rental contract. He remembered that Gu Zhinian mentioned that his wife's name was Chen Yuning.
In addition, Gu Zhinian often talked to the landlord about Facebook after his illness. The landlord's intuition told him that everything was a coincidence, and the mother and son were probably Gu Zhinian's wife and children.
The landlord learned from there that despite the house rented by mother and son, he was particularly distressed by this woman who could not get out. He remembered the moment before Gu Zhinian died and said to him, "I said I would take my wife to your private restaurant for dinner on our wedding anniversary, but it's a pity that it won't happen again."
The landlord did this because he wanted to fulfill his wish for his friend, and he really hoped that this spoony woman could come out. As for the reason why he didn't say it, it happened in the process of getting along with this woman.

The landlord asked his mother out again and again, but he lost his usual calm and steady. In a hurry, he told the whole story again.
Mother turned down all invitations from the landlord. She said to Gu, "Before going to that restaurant, I think I can really make new friends and try again. But when I ran out of the restaurant, I clearly realized that I really couldn't accept anyone anymore. "
Mother also said, "since we can't promise each other anything, we shouldn't accept his kindness."
The landlord understood his mother's mind and had to give up after three months.
He is still the same sentence, I hope everyone is a friend, and I still want to ask him something.
Mother asked Gu to return the music box that the landlord gave her to him. She doesn't want to keep it for many reasons.
Mom really never made any friends of the opposite sex again. She is doing what she feels happy in her world.
The day after the college entrance examination, Gu's mother never woke up. Without warning, she closed her eyes forever and her mouth rose.
Despite understanding his mother's mind, he accepted the fact calmly. The landlord came to offer his condolences. I haven't seen him for years. His back is slightly hunched, and the years still leave traces between his eyebrows.
He brought something, the music box he gave his mother.
Wei Xing took it, the in the mind very unhappy. The landlord motioned Gu to look at the base of the music box, and Gu discovered the secret of the music box.
There is a line engraved on the bottom of the music box: Give me my love. If you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all.
Gu looked puzzled at the landlord, who told the story of the music box.
At that time, his friend Gu Zhinian told him that he was in love with a girl, but he didn't know what gift to give her.
The landlord said he just got two music boxes, which are music boxes symbolizing love. In this case, he gave one of them to Gu Nian, so that he could be lucky to pursue his beloved girl.
At Gu Nian's request, the landlord wrote on the bottom of one of them: Give me my love.
However, when he mailed it, he sent it to Gu Zhinian by mistake. When he went back to find the problem, he was very upset. Fortunately, Gu Zhinian didn't care and thanked him.
The carved music box remained in the landlord's hand until he met Gu and his mother.
Gu suddenly understood the reason why his mother insisted that he return the music box, even though her mother mistakenly thought that the line meant the landlord. She didn't know that it was carved by her husband many years ago.
The landlord said, "the music box brought you good luck, but it didn't bring me good luck." Maybe it's because I carved your mother's name that we met by fate. "
After the landlord left, Gu put the music box in front of his mother's spirit. Both the landlord and the landlord spent their love in this small music box.
At this moment, my mother should be reunited with her, and she finally doesn't have to live in the dream of missing her husband. (Title: Mr. Landlord's Music Box, Li Li. Read some stories every day to see more exciting)
The above is related to the 40-year-old widowed daughter's better bubble, and it is about the sharing of the music box. I watched the life of a woman whose husband died young. I hope this can help everyone!
