give me years of peace

Chapter 72

Mother Xin pushed open the door, and Dr. Kong was giving Xin Zimo an injection. He frowned, but remained silent.Dr. Kong packed up his things and advised Xin Zimo, "Master, don't worry about working hard these two days, and don't run around here and there. Wait until the fever subsides."

"Yes." Xin Zimo nodded without objecting.

"Zimo, why did you go to the company again? Didn't you tell me not to run around?" Mother Xin said distressedly.

"There is something wrong with the company, I'll go back and deal with it."

"Can the company's affairs compare with your body? It's more than enough to leave those affairs to Sun Ping!" Xin's mother said.

"I know, it won't happen in the future." Xin Zimo smiled at Xin's mother, signaling her to rest assured.

"Xiaoxue's shop will open the day after tomorrow. If you rest at home more, you don't have to go. Xiaoxue will understand."

"How can this work? The store is the most important thing for Xiaoxue after returning to China, and she has always hoped that I can help her cut the ribbon."

"Just stay at home obediently and don't go anywhere!"

Xin Zimo knew that he couldn't hold back Xin's mother, so he didn't refute anymore, just nodded slightly.

After talking for a while, Mother Xin and Xin Zimo stopped disturbing Xin Zimo's rest, and went straight downstairs.Although she still hasn't figured out why Xin Zimo had a fever, she doesn't want to figure it out now.

Judging from Zimo's attitude towards Xiaoxue, he has obviously begun to pay attention to Xiaoxue, probably too many incidents are due to Du Anran's wishful thinking...

She no longer has the desire to harm others, but she must always be prepared to guard against others.

Du Anran received a call from Bai Ruyun after Xin's departure, she said that Du Yuantong had returned.

Du Anran rushed back without stopping. For such a long time, where did her uncle go, which made their mother and daughter very worried.She really wanted to know what her uncle looked like now.

When we arrived at Shimen Lane, Uncle Du Yuantong was sitting under the wisteria tree in the yard.When the wind blew, the few wisteria leaves also fell down and landed on Du Yuantong's body, but he didn't move.

There were a lot of white hairs in his hair, his face was sallow and haggard, only a layer of skin remained, and Du Anran was so thin that he was surprised.

"Uncle!" Du Anran ran forward, only then did Du Yuantong raise his eyes.

Du Anran squatted in front of him sadly: "Uncle, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time..."

"I've been in the drug rehabilitation center." Du Yuantong said weakly.

"Are you okay?" Du Anran held back tears.

"Okay..." Du Yuantong's eyes were empty and powerless, "Inside, at least you don't have to be chased all over the street."

Du Anran couldn't hold back the tears any longer, covered his face with his fingers, and cried for a while with his back turned away.

"An Ran, are you okay?" Comrade Du Yuan asked.

Du Anran nodded vigorously: "I'm fine, everything is fine."

"Did those people trouble you? Did they treat you mother and daughter? Did they force you mother and daughter to pay back the money?" Du Yuantong asked with concern.

"No, no one troubles us, no one forces us to pay back the money, we live well. Now that you are back, you don't want to go out to gamble and take drugs, okay?"

"I've already quit completely, but the Du family can't go back to the past. I'm a sinner of the Du family. I'm sorry, big brother!" Du Yuantong suddenly lowered his head in pain, tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle, don't blame yourself. It is obvious to all that you have been loyal and conscientious to the Du family for so many years. This time, someone made a deliberate mistake. You don't have to blame yourself, and no one will blame you." Du Anran Helping him up, she couldn't bear to see her uncle weeping sadly at his age.

"An Ran, thank you for forgiving me. I am most sorry for your mother and daughter. My eldest brother entrusted you to me before he died, and I have not fulfilled my uncle's responsibility at all."

"Uncle, you have done a good job. You never married because of us. We are ashamed of you..."

"An Ran, uncle has ruined his life in his own hands. You still have a long way to go. You have to live well." Du Yuantong was full of remorse.

"I will, I will take good care of myself and love those who love me."

"I want to sit alone for a while, you go into the house and take care of your mother."

Du Anran looked at the old Du Yuantong. During this period of time, he seemed to be 20 years older, and he was no longer the high-spirited uncle he used to be.But she doesn't hate him, he is always the uncle who dotes on her and loves her, one of her closest relatives.

Under the wisteria tree, the hanging branches and leaves fluttered with the wind. In the wind, Du Yuantong sat with his eyes closed, frozen like a statue.

Du Anran sighed, turned and went back to the house.The past and the past will eventually turn into a wisp of green smoke and disperse with the wind.Right and wrong in this world is a muddled account. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, occasionally acting as an actor, and occasionally being a spectator.

Bai Ruyun sat in the living room without saying a word, just sitting quietly, sighing occasionally.Du Anran walked over and put his arms around her shoulders, telling her not to worry too much.

"Mom, uncle has come back, and we will live happily as before."

"He has become so thin, how can I explain to his brother..." Bai Ruyun sighed.

"Now that uncle has given up his drug addiction, his body will gradually get better." Du Anran advised Bai Ruyun not to worry too much.

"Did he tell you about repaying the debt just now?" Bai Ruyun asked.

"That said, uncle just asked me if anyone came to collect debts from our mother and daughter, and I said no." Du Anran said truthfully, "In fact, apart from the fact that we owe Xin Zimo too much money, the Du family also basically Pay off..."

"Your uncle said that no one has chased him for debts since he came out, and he owed tens of millions of debts, and he thought we paid him off..."

"Those people think he can't afford it, so they don't want it!" Du Anran shook his head.

"There's no reason not to, money is not enough to pay for life, and that's what I'm worried about."

"They don't really dare to take uncle's life, do they?" Du Anran felt a trace of fear.

"Probably not. Oh, by the way, your uncle gave me this today, why do you think he hid such a large sum of money?" Bai Ruyun took out an envelope from the bag, and after opening the envelope was a color Yellowed cheque.

Du Anran accepted it curiously, and was startled, 700 million.This is not a small sum today, but this check was drawn ten years ago.

"This money is enough for my uncle to pay off his debts. Why is he so useless..." Du Anran felt strange.

"I don't know." Bai Ruyun shook his head, "He didn't say much, he just said it was for our mother and daughter."

"Is this the money my uncle has saved his whole life?" Du Anran guessed.

"Maybe..." Bai Ruyun sighed, "I'll keep it and return it to your uncle later."

"En." Du Anran nodded.

It was getting later and later, and when the night fell, the setting sun sank below the horizon a little bit.The wind blew slowly across the land until night swallowed the city.

Du Anran didn't disturb Du Yuantong all this time, and only called out when it was time for dinner: "Uncle, come to have dinner, the meal is ready!"

The autumn wind outside the house carried the fallen leaves, slid across the ground, and made a "rustling" sound, as if responding to Du Anran.Some autumn insects began to chirp, everything was so quiet.

When the dishes were all on the table, Du Anran saw that Du Yuantong hadn't come back, so he had to go order it by himself.

"Uncle, it's time for dinner. If you don't eat the vegetables, it will be cold!" Du Anran said as he walked.

Still no response, Du Anran's heart suddenly rose.

Under the wisteria tree, the wicker chair had long since stopped moving, and Du Yuan was sitting on the same chair, motionless.Du Anran immediately quickened his pace and ran over: "Uncle!"

But no matter how much she cried, Du Yuantong couldn't hear her anymore.

"Uncle! Wake up!" Du Anran understood what was going on, she shook his arm vigorously, tears streaming down her cheeks...

Her uncle committed suicide and will never come back...

She remembered that when she was a child, whenever her father was busy with business and couldn't accompany her, her uncle always took her to play around.What she wants, uncle will give, even her father can't see it, saying that he spoils her lawlessly, but uncle always smiles happily.

She remembered that on the day she went abroad, it was her uncle who helped her carry her luggage and sent her to the plane; it was the uncle who rushed to her the moment she returned home, bought her ice cream, helped her carry luggage...

There is an unbroken blood and family relationship in her bones, and now, that uncle who used to like to make her happy will never come back...

All along, he was the one who took care of her, but before she had time to repay him, he left peacefully like this.Gone with all his regrets...

Shihe is the painstaking effort of his father and uncle. A few months ago, his uncle said that one day Shihe would make a comeback, but such a vow could not be realized.

"Uncle..." Du Anran covered Du Yuantong's already cold hands, and silently knelt down on his knees, tears streaming down his face.

These hands used to hold her little hand through the streets and alleys of City A, but now, these bony hands could no longer hold her fingers.

The autumn wind blew on Du Anran's face, but it couldn't blow away her tears. Memories hovered in her mind, but it couldn't bring the stability of this world.

"Uncle, didn't you say that you want me to take you to Germany to enjoy your old age? Why do you ignore me..." Du Anran cried, "I will be angry if you leave me like this, and I will ignore you. Then what do you do?" I don't care about coaxing me, buying me dolls doesn't work, buying me food doesn't work, I just ignore you..."

"Uncle, don't leave me... I'm still waiting for you to take me out to fly a kite... 15 years ago you said you would take me to fly a kite in the field, and you promised me every year when the wind blows... But Fifteen years have passed, and you haven't fulfilled your promise, how can you leave...Your words don't mean anything, I don't care about you..." Du Anran was sobbing, choked up intermittently and couldn't hold back.

"Uncle, wake up, answer me, answer me..." Du Anran burst into tears, she really couldn't believe that seeing her today was a farewell.
