Chapter 266 Don’t Have Any Regrets
Qiu Huoming thought about it and felt that he could practice in a repair shop, but the things they repaired were all low-end items, and he was not very interested in this.
"It's not easy for me to go home, I want to spend more time with my family at home."
After hearing Qiu Huoming's answer, Ding Hao glanced at Ding Yu and said, "Look at Huoming, and then look at yourself. You can't see anyone here every day."
Ding Yu scratched the back of his head and, for the first time, did not refute.
He said obediently, "I'll go shopping with my mother tomorrow."
Ding Hao looked at him in surprise.
He looked away and looked at Qiu Huoming, "Last time...are you interested in making the 'walkie-talkie' you made bigger?"
Qiu Huoming sighed, "Brother Hao, you are a self-employed person now, and it will be no good if you expand your business."
Ding Hao knocked on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the thick glass lenses could not hide the brilliance in his eyes, "Great minds think alike, I have returned to the organization..."
"What? What do you mean?" Ding Yu asked puzzledly.
"Hey, come with me to the repair shop. I can understand the circuit diagram of the tape recorder that Master Li dismantled, but I only know the location of the broken parts. I have no idea about the principle. Can you come over and explain it to me?"
Master Li and Ding Hao from the repair shop are not professionals, so they couldn't understand the profound teachings. Qiu Huoming simply used a question-and-answer format.
"Hey, you are not someone else. This guy is very black-hearted. He sells things at very high prices. If not his, whose will you take..."
A few people asked and answered questions for nearly an hour before they stopped.
He raised the net bag in his hand and read it again, "Moutai, 53% soy sauce aroma..."
"Of course, I took the most expensive one. Didn't you see my sister-in-law's expression? Hahahaha..."
Qiu Huoming gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, Brother Hao."
"The wine is too expensive. You still have to do business. Why should we be polite to each other? Brother Hao, it's alright. Fatty and I will leave first. Today is the Little New Year and there are many things to do at home."
Ding Yu walked over slowly.
Ding Hao shook his head. "I'm not that great. It's the times that make heroes. I just don't want to be like this without accomplishing anything..."
Qiu Huoming replied: "This is used to amplify the signal..."
Aunt Du was sitting on a small stool picking vegetables, Uncle Du was leaning against the door frame smoking, and Du Xiaobao was reading a picture book.
"It's the Little New Year, so you have to bring some. Xiaoyu, go get a bottle. Oh, get two bottles. We give even numbers, not single numbers."
"Okay." Qiu Huoming responded, then stood up and walked out of the warehouse just like Ding Hao.
When they got home, it was only 4 o'clock. Qiu Huoming stopped the car. The little sister's friends had already left. Fatty was very interested in skipping rubber rope and begged the little sister to play with him. Qiu Huoming had to go out soon, so soon the three of them formed a team and started playing.
Qiu Huoming scolded him while riding his bike, "Fatty, it's not easy for your brother to open a store, but you are very good at taking his things..."
"Huo Ming, this is a resistor, why is it used here?" Ding Hao asked.
The two brothers started bickering again after just a few words. Qiu Huoming took a sip of soda. It was winter and the drink made his stomach feel cold.
On the way back, Qiu Huoming rode the bike and the fat man sat behind him carrying the wine.
It seems that the factories in the street finished work early today, and the three members of the Du family are all here.
Qiu Huoming had no choice but to bite the bullet and thank Ding Hao before pushing the door to meet the fat man.
"I got wind of it."
Ding Hao nodded. "It's a subordinate unit. I've seen a lot of things and made some money. It's also broadened my horizons. I'm not doing business. I've been in a management position from the beginning. I don't see these twists and turns..."
"Fuck, you took the Maotai!"
"The store is a small matter. The tobacco and liquor store is given to my girlfriend, and the repair shop is given to Master Li. I will provide the funds but will not show up."
"Okay, okay." Qiu Huoming was speechless for a moment.
Qiu Huoming walked along the alley towards Old Lady Zhu's house. Before he got close, he heard voices coming from the door.
Ding Yu responded and ran quickly to the next room.
“It takes skill to get it.”
"Sure, it doesn't matter where you report it, I just want that piece of paper..." Ding Hao leaned back in the chair comfortably, "I realized after I got out that it's nice to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade."
"I have to apply for the patent. I'll have to wait until I return to Guangzhou."
Ding Hao exchanged a few words with Ding Yu, then he was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He turned to look at Qiu Huoming, "Huoming, you can read circuit diagrams, right?"
Ding Yu curled his lips and said, "You have taken all the benefits."
"Didn't we say last time that the county was going to build a department store? It was stopped last year, but it suddenly started again this year. We need to rely on the provincial capital to learn advanced business models..."
"Huo Ming, you are right. There is no rush for this matter now. Let me get back on my feet. You should also use your brain to improve the appearance. If you have core technology, apply for a patent..."
Qiu Huoming opened his eyes wide, "So, you want to go back to the Business Bureau?"
"I know the basics, but I'll have to learn the complicated ones by looking at them."
Qiu Huoming failed to stop him. After a moment, he saw the fat man standing at the door with a net bag and calling him to come out.
"What about your store?"
"Brother, does Dad know?" Ding Yu asked.
Ding Hao felt a little embarrassed for delaying Qiu Huoming for so long, "Huoming, I'll get you a bottle of wine, you can take it back to your dad."
Qiu Huoming walked over quickly, and Uncle Du was very polite to him, "Hey, Huoming is here, the eight-treasure porridge tastes very good, my mother has a poor appetite, so she let me eat it all."
"Hello, Uncle Du. As long as it's delicious, what about Grandma Zhu?"
"She was sleepy and just went back to her room to sleep. You are here to get the pot. It has been washed and is in her room. Go get it yourself."
"okay."
Qiu Huoming walked into the house quickly and saw at a glance that the washed small pot was placed on the small dining table.
He reached out and took the small pot, then looked into the small room inside. The door was open and the light inside was dim. Old Mrs. Zhu was lying on the bed, covered with a floral quilt.
He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped and called out to the inner room, "Grandma Zhu!"
The inner room was still silent. Uncle Du and Aunt Du were chatting about work outside, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Qiu Huoming felt something was wrong, and he shouted again, "Grandma Zhu!"
There was still no movement in the inner room. He walked in quickly. In the dim light, Old Mrs. Zhu was sleeping there motionless with a pale face.
Qiu Huoming put his finger on the tip of her nose, but there was no breath.
Qiu Huoming's eyes instantly turned red. He turned around and walked out the door quickly, shouting to Uncle Zhu, "The old lady seems to be dying..."
The cigarette butt in Uncle Du's hand fell to the ground, the ashes bounced, and the cigarette butt flickered...
He ran into the inner room, and soon, loud crying came from the inner room...
Qiu Huoming stood outside, watching the family running around in panic...
He looked up at the sky. The sun was covered by clouds and the temperature dropped sharply. It looked like the weather would change...
Just as he was about to leave, Uncle Du suddenly came out, his eyes were red and swollen, and he held a letter in his hand, "Huo Ming...my mother gave it to you."
Qiu Huoming was stunned. "Uncle Du, do you want to take a look at the contents?"
He shook his head. "I have disobeyed her all my life, but I won't go against her on this last matter. The letter is sealed, and she doesn't want me to read it."
Aunt Du, who followed him out, looked at Qiu Huoming and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Qiu Huoming nodded, then reached out to take the letter, "Uncle Du, I'm sorry, I'll leave first..."
On the way back, he thought of Du Xiumin who was far away in Shenzhen. He must tell her the news. It would be troublesome whether she came back or not.
Qiu Huoming let out a long sigh. The waxing and waning of the moon in this world is not something that can be controlled by humans.
The old lady lived a long life and passed away peacefully. This is probably the only consolation.
When he got home, Chen Suniang and Qiu Jianshe had both returned. Their unit released them early today.
Chen Suniang was washing vegetables at the sink with a vegetable basket next to her. Qiu Jianshe was leaning against the door frame with a newspaper in his hand.
The fat guy was playing skipping rope with his older sister and younger sister in the yard and was already sweating profusely.
The sunlight completely disappeared and the sky became overcast. Chen Suniang shook the water off her hands, leaned forward and pulled the lamp cord.
The light spread across the yard.
Just as Chen Suniang was about to turn around, she caught a glimpse of Qiu Huoming who was slowly returning. She smiled and said, "Did you get the pot back? How does the old lady say it tastes?"
Qiu Jianshe said with a smile: "Huo Ming, I bought some Wumi dumplings, they are still hot and are on the dining table, go get them yourself..."
Qiu Huoming walked past the three laughing fat men and went straight to Chen Suniang. The tears that he had been holding back for a long time suddenly flowed down.
Chen Suniang was panicked and quickly reached out to touch Qiu Huoming's cheek, "Huoming, what's wrong?"
"The old lady is gone..."
Chen Suniang was stunned when she heard this and sighed for a long time. Fatty and the others stopped what they were doing and stood there, at a loss as to what to do.
Qiu Jianshe patted Qiu Huoming on the shoulder and said, "I'll go to his house with your mom in a little while to see if there's anything I can do to help. Huoming, you kids shouldn't go. It's not good to cause trouble."
This little New Year was dull and boring. While the post office was still open, Qiu Huoming rode his bike to the post office in the cold wind and sent a telegram to Du Xiumin, reporting the news to her.
When they got home, Fatty had already gone home, and Qiu Jianshe and Chen Suniang had not returned from Du's house yet.
The eldest and youngest sisters were busy cooking in the kitchen. He went into the small room and took out the letter from his arms.
There were five beautiful words written in pen on the envelope: [Qiu Huoming’s personal message]
He opened the envelope and found a five-dollar bill inside the letter. As he shook the letter, it fell to the ground. He picked it up. There were two pieces of letter paper in the envelope, both filled with words.
Many of Mrs. Zhu's words are still written in traditional Chinese characters.
[Huo Ming, I’m Grandma Zhu.]
You didn't expect that I would write to you. When I saw you today, I suddenly wanted to say something to you.
My health has been fluctuating recently, and I know I don't have much time left. You are a good child. Xiumin told me that she was able to go to Shenzhen because you gave her 100 yuan. Xiumin will definitely return the money to you, and she will remember your kindness for the rest of her life...
My son, your Uncle Du, is not a bad person by nature, but he is stubborn and rebellious all his life. If he saw this letter, he would not open it. If my wife saw it... then Huo Ming, you will not be able to see this letter. 】
Seeing this, Qiu Huoming seemed to see the sly smile that Old Lady Zhu had revealed when she was fighting with his second uncle, and the sadness that had just surged in his heart actually eased.
He wiped the wet corners of his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
[When I leave, everyone will be relieved, and it will also be a happy event.
Xiumin, please don't come back. I heard that tickets for the Spring Festival travel rush are very hard to come by. Why would you want to suffer that?
I don't want her to come back either. She can't live with her parents, so let her live the life she wants. I'm old and can't help you young people. I can only try not to drag her down...
I looked over and over again at the 5 yuan that Xiumin gave me for a long time. I was so happy.
I won't take this money with me. I'll give you some on behalf of Xiumin...
If she asks you what I said, you just say, Grandma doesn't want you to come back, don't try those empty words of filial piety, if you really miss me, burn gold ingots for me, buy gold paper foil and fold it yourself, Grandma will tell you a secret, only gold ingots are accepted, burning paper money alone is useless...
I had a good time in the first half of my life and I have no regrets. My grandmother passed away happily, so you shouldn't have any regrets either.
...]
Qiu Huoming put down the letter in his hand, put the five-dollar note back into the envelope, and folded the letter and stuffed it together.
He looked up at the ceiling until he heard Chen Suniang's voice at the gate of the courtyard, and then he suddenly came to his senses.
Chen Suniang walked to the door of his room and stopped. She said, "Someone from the street came to help. I looked and saw that the old lady left with a smile on her face. She didn't suffer any harm at all..."
Qiu Huoming stood up and said, "Well, I understand."
The eldest sister called out from the kitchen, "Mom, the food is ready, do you want to eat now?"
"Eat, people need to eat."
As Qiu Huoming walked out of the room, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the dark sky. Several people in the family stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.
Soon, a thin layer of white frost accumulated on the ground...
At the dinner table, Qiu Jianshe took out a bottle of wine. It was not the Moutai that Fatty gave him, but some loose wine he bought outside. "Let's have a drink today."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Give me a cup."
After the wine was filled, Qiu Jianshe clinked his glass with the glass in Qiu Huoming's hand, then drank it all in one gulp. Qiu Huoming followed suit and drank it all in one gulp, then choked.
Qiu Jianshe reached out and patted him on the back, "You are just too worried, kid."
He continued while drunk: "The adults are all here at home, so why should you, a child, worry about it? Look at Xiaoyu, he is just like a child, you should also act like a child, we don't expect you to raise him, as long as you live well, we will be fine..."
"You worry about this and that every day. I am so tired of you..."
Chen Suniang wanted to interrupt him, but when she heard this, she rolled her eyes at him but did not refute him. She took a glass of water and walked over, "Huo Ming, have a drink."
Qiu Huoming took a sip of water, turned his head to look at Chen Suniang, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "I won't worry about it anymore..."
Chen Suniang didn't know why, but she suddenly felt sad. She reached out and rubbed Qiu Huoming's hair, "You kid."
The little sister jumped off the stool, holding a Wu Mi dumpling in her hand, and handed it to Qiu Huoming, "Brother, this is your Wu Mi dumpling, it's delicious. When I was sad as a child, I wanted to eat Wu Mi dumplings, but my family was too poor. The first time I ate it, it was my brother who took me to eat it..."
"I like my big brother to worry about me. I am happy every day now..." The little sister raised her head and looked at Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming took the black rice dumpling and took the little sister in his arms.
He didn't say anything, and after a while he let go of her hand. After drinking a glass of wine, his face finally turned red. Qiu Huoming took a bite of the Wumi dumpling and said, "It's delicious."
