Chapter 901 Goodbye Gou Wa
The reminder of the plane landing woke Luo Yang from his sleep.
Luo Yang has been very busy these days and has not had a good rest. The TV series "Desire" has just been completed. This TV series is the highlight of Luo Yang's company and center this year, and it is also the first long drama in China with 50 episodes. Although this is a sitcom, it is not easy to shoot it well. As an investor, Luo Yang has been watching the set for the past few days and only breathed a sigh of relief after the filming was completed.
If nothing unexpected happens, this TV series will be released by the end of the year. In addition to this TV series, Luo Yang has invested in five movies this year, one for Chen Xiaoer, two for Hong Kong, and two for Yanjing Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio respectively.
Looking at the porthole on the left, he could vaguely see the scenery on the ground. Luo Yang rubbed his face with his hands, fastened his seat belt, and waited for the plane to land.
Soon, the plane landed smoothly at the airport. After leaving the airport, Luo Yang saw the person who came to pick him up. He walked up to the other person, shook hands and said hello, took the car keys from the other person, arrived in front of the car, opened the door, threw the luggage into the passenger seat, and drove out of the parking lot.
I haven't been here for more than a year, and there haven't been many changes in Liaodong. The roads are still familiar, no different from before.
Luo Yang drove towards his destination and arrived a few hours later. He parked the car, picked up his luggage and walked towards a bungalow. When he arrived at the door, he raised his hand and knocked.
"Who is it?" My sister-in-law's voice came from the door.
"Sister-in-law! It's me! Yangzi!" Luo Yang replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened. When she saw Luo Yang coming, her sister-in-law was extremely happy and quickly called him in.
"I guessed you would come in the next two days. I didn't expect you to arrive today. Come in quickly. You must be thirsty. Let me pour you some water."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Luo Yang entered the house, and his sister-in-law quickly made a cup of tea for him in an enamel teacup. Luo Yang took it and said thank you, then picked it up, blew on it and took a sip.
"Did you have a smooth journey?"
"It went pretty smoothly. Just like last time, I borrowed a car from a friend and came here directly. Sister-in-law, are you okay now? Where are Gou Wa and Xiao Hu? Why can't I see them?"
Today is Sunday. Luo Yang is not surprised that his sister-in-law is at home, but he is curious about the absence of Gou Wa and Xiao Hu, and he can't help but ask a question.
"Okay, fine!" Sister-in-law said with a smile, "Gou Wa and Xiao Hu went to their classmate's house early in the morning, and they will be back soon. By the way, Yangzi, how many days can you stay this time? If you are not in a hurry to leave, stay a few more days."
"I'll try my best, but I have to go to the woods to see Brother Huzi and his comrades first, and then I'll talk about it after I'm done." Luo Yang thought for a moment and replied.
When she heard Luo Yang mention Wang Hu, the smile on her sister-in-law's face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Wang Hu has been gone for several years. Although my sister-in-law and Wang Hu had a good relationship, people are gone and the living have to continue living, not to mention that she has two children.
When Wang Hu passed away, Luo Yang rushed here with Li Xiaoyun to help his sister-in-law deal with Wang Hu's funeral. Because of Luo Yang's intervention, Wang Hu finally received the honor he deserved and helped solve his sister-in-law's work problem.
If it weren't for Luo Yang, my sister-in-law and the two children, Gou Wa and Xiao Hu, would probably be living a very difficult life now. After all, the pillar of the family is gone, and the two children are so young, how will they live in the future?
Now, although my sister-in-law and her family's life cannot be compared with that in developed areas, with a relatively stable job and Wang Hu's pension, there will be no problem in raising the two children .
I haven't seen Luo Yang for a long time. My sister-in-law asked how Luo Yang was doing now, how his family was doing, how Li Xiaoyun and the children were doing, and when he could bring them over to see him.
The sister-in-law had met Li Xiaoyun, but had never seen Luo Yang's child. Luo Yang told the sister-in-law to bring the child along when the child was older. Now the child was still young and Li Xiaoyun was busy with work, so she had to come alone this time.
The two were chatting and talking about things, and were having a great time when Gou Wa and Xiao Hu came back.
"Uncle Luo!" As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Yang sitting and chatting with his mother. Gou Wa was stunned at first, and then he was delighted.
"Where did you and your brother go?" Luo Yang stood up and asked with a smile. Then he looked at Gou Wa's height and couldn't help but sighed: "It's only been more than a year since I last saw him, but he has grown a lot taller. Xiao Hu is the same too. They have all grown up."
"Hello, Uncle Luo!" Xiaohu called out politely, but compared to his brother Gou Wa, Xiaohu seemed a little shy and his body was much thinner.
However, Gou Wa has changed a lot in more than a year. He is fifteen years old this year and will graduate from junior high school soon. This kid inherited the good genes of the Wang family. He grew up very fast. More than a year ago, his height was only up to Luo Yang's chest, but now he is almost up to Luo Yang's eyebrows. He has also grown strong, with a thin layer of hair on his upper lip. His eyebrows and eyes are particularly similar to Wang Hu.
Greeting the two, Luo Yang took out the gifts he brought for them. The two children's eyes lit up when they saw the gifts. The sister-in-law complained to the side that Luo Yang came here, why did he bring gifts? Luo Yang smiled and said that he was the uncle of the children, how could he come here without bringing gifts? Besides, if he didn't accept these gifts, would he be considered an outsider? The sister-in-law was helpless. Luo Yang always said this, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
Pulling the two children to sit down, Luo Yang asked about their recent situation with concern. When he learned that Gou Wa and Xiao Hu had good grades, Luo Yang was very happy and encouraged them, telling them that they must study hard. Only by studying well can they be admitted to university when they grow up. After entering university and having knowledge, they will have better opportunities in the future.
Xiaohu nodded and said he understood and would study hard. But Gou Wa just smiled and didn't make a promise in front of Luo Yang like his brother did. Luo Yang patted him on the shoulder, thinking that the child was a little embarrassed because he was older, so he didn't say much and continued to talk about other things.
On that day, Luo Yang had dinner at Wang's house, drank some wine, and talked a lot with his sister-in-law and children. He couldn't help crying when he talked about the emotional parts.
Luo Yang had drunk a little too much and originally planned to stay in a hotel, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep on the kang in a daze. When he woke up, it was already dawn the next day.
Today, Luo Yang was going to the forest. He got up quickly to wash and pack his things when he saw it was getting late. When he was about to go out, he found that Gou Wa, who was supposed to go to school, was still at home, waiting for Luo Yang.
"Gou Wa, why didn't you go to school?" Luo Yang asked.
"I'll go with you. I've already asked for leave from school." Gou Wa dressed and tidied himself, seeming to have been waiting for Luo Yang for quite some time. "Don't worry, Uncle Luo. My mother has agreed to my request for leave. I'll go with you to see Dad today."
Luo Yang hesitated and nodded. It was getting late. He drank too much yesterday and overslept. His sister-in-law had already gone to work and Xiaohu had gone to school long ago. Even if he let Gou Wa go to school now, he probably wouldn't be able to attend many classes in the morning. Besides, Gou Wa said that his sister-in-law had agreed, so Luo Yang didn't say anything else. He greeted Gou Wa, and the two of them went out, walked a distance to the place where he parked his car yesterday, and got into the car together.
Driving towards the forest, Luo Yang chatted with Gou Wa along the way, asking him about school and family. Gou Wa talked a little, and curiously asked Luo Yang about the southern city and his work. Luo Yang picked out some of the stories and told him, Gou Wa was very interested, and the two of them chatted like this along the way, so they were not lonely.
They arrived at the place around 10:30, and the car couldn't go any further. Luo Yang parked the car, took out the incense and candles that had been prepared in advance from the trunk, and then walked towards the woods with Gou Wa.
After Wang Hu's death , the Forestry Bureau re-appointed a forest ranger. However, this ranger did not work for long. He ran away after working for less than a year because he could not stand the loneliness. It was said that he went to work in the south.
Later, the Forestry Bureau arranged for new people to come to the forest, but they still left after a short stay. Two years ago, the Forestry Bureau simply stopped assigning people to the forest farm. Usually, the forest farm staff would take a day off every once in a while to visit the forest, and most of the time it was vacant.
The forest remains the same as before, and it is now autumn in the north.
In the north, autumn is the shortest of the four seasons, but it is also the most beautiful season in the north.
With the arrival of autumn, the leaves of the trees in the forest began to change color, with pieces of yellow, red and the original green, accompanied by the fallen leaves on the ground, making it extremely beautiful, like an oil painting.
Walking along the path in the forest, they soon found the wooden house in the forest that Wang Hu and Gou Wa once lived in. Looking at this familiar place, Luo Yang felt melancholy. The wooden house was still there, but the old people were gone. This is how life is. You always lose more than you gain. The deep scenes in his memory flashed through Luo Yang's mind like a movie.
Because there is no longer a forest ranger here, the wooden house has become a little dilapidated because no one lives there, but the overall appearance is still the same as before.
After stopping and looking for a few times, Luo Yang withdrew his gaze from the wooden house and said to Gou Wa beside him, "Let's go."
The two continued walking towards the cemetery not far away. Gradually, the wooden house fell behind them and was soon covered by the dense woods and could no longer be seen.
They arrived at the cemetery, where his comrade-in-arms and Wang Hu were buried. No one had been here for a long time, and the fallen autumn leaves had accumulated into a thick layer in the cemetery. Luo Yang put down his things and went forward to clean up with Gou Wa. It took them some effort to clean up the cemetery. Then they placed the offerings, poured the good wine they had brought, lit the incense and candles, and then Luo Yang and Gou Wa knelt down, kowtowed to them and burned incense.
"I'm here to see you again... I haven't forgotten your family over the years. Don't worry, everything is fine at home. How are you doing in that world? You should be doing well too..." Luo Yang did not stand up after bowing his head. He was talking silently to his comrades and Wang Hu in his heart. Gou Wa next to him was very sensible. He helped burn paper money quietly. It was not known whether it was because of the smoke from the burning paper, or because he thought of his father Wang Hu, Gou Wa's eyes turned red and tears fell uncontrollably.
