During a drug crackdown, Dejiang was shot in the head by a drug criminal in order to protect his teammates and died on the spot. During the Qingming Festival, Dejiang's wife Huang Ju went to the cemetery of the Northern Kingdom to visit graves. Holding a bunch of white lotus in his hand, Huang Ju sat quietly in front of Dejiang's tombstone, nagging some thoughts about Dejiang in the kingdom of heaven. After a while, a slight rain drifted in the sky, and Huang Ju looked at the photo of Dejiang on the tombstone and said sadly that she should leave, and come back to see him next Qingming Festival.
After walking a few steps, Huang Ju found the strange young man again. He was a tall, thin man wearing a cap and an urn in his hand. He was instructing two migrant workers to work in the mausoleum area. It seemed that he was going to erect another tombstone.
In Qingming last year, Huang Ju witnessed him bury the ashes of a relative with his own hands. The tomb keeper, Chen Laohan, said that the young man's surname was Li and his name was Li Gu, and he bought several cemeteries.
Two migrant workers worked hard to dig a hole and erect a monument. Li Gu looked solemn, and on the newly erected tombstone was a photo of a woman with a sweet smile: the tomb of his wife Lehua. Huang Ju was stunned, and Li Gu's wife was also dead!
It was too terrifying. Li Gu's relatives died in such a concentrated manner, and they all died during Qingming Festival. Huang Ju escaped from the cemetery of the Northern Kingdom as if she had discovered a big secret.
Huang Ju is a nurse at Beiguo Hospital, and her daughter Enshi was born to Dejiang's ex-wife. When Huang Ju married Dejiang, Enshi was only 3 years old. Although Huang Ju chose birth control surgery for Enshi, she did not want to give birth to a child because she was afraid that Enshi would not get a mother's love. However, she was wrong. The 3-year-old villain was very strange. He knew that Huang Ju was not his biological mother and had always had a generation gap with her. Enshi chose to escape to Dejiang's hometown and chose to live a hard life in the countryside without the care of her parents. When she grew up, Enshi was admitted to the best university in Beijiang. After graduation, she stayed in the northern city. Although she called Dejiang's home once a month, she always called Huang Ju auntie and never called her mother. Huang Ju has been silently suffering from Enshi's prejudice against her.
After Dejiang's sacrifice, Enshi's attitude suddenly changed a hundred and eighty degrees. At Dejiang's funeral, she faced Huang Ju, who was crying hoarsely, and called her mom. She moved back to Huang Ju's house and lived there. Huang Ju's grievances were finally released, and she and Enshi lived together, becoming completely the version of mother and daughter.
One day, Huang Ju handed over her shift. She remembered that it was Enshi's birthday, and she had to go home early to cook a sumptuous dinner for Enshi. Before she took off her nurse's clothes, she received a call. Enshi was in the emergency room of the hospital. It was a serious rear-end car accident. The taxi Enshi was riding was hit by an out-of-control truck and fell off the guardrail, falling 3 meters deep into the sewer. It turned out that after Enshi got home from get off work, she ran out to buy a cake. It was her first birthday with Huang Ju, and she took it very seriously. Her birthday cake was lying in the taxi space and was smashed.
Huang Ju hurried to the emergency room, the rescue was over, and Enshi was lying on the bed, breathing only. The doctor told Huang Ju that Enshi was in a coma due to a severe concussion in the brain, and it was still unknown if he could wake up. After hearing this, Huang Ju burst into tears. After returning home, he cleaned up briefly and prepared to be admitted to the hospital to take care of Enshi wholeheartedly.
The door of Enshi's room was slightly closed, and Huang Ju pushed the door in, and saw Enshi's laptop on the desk open. On the computer desktop, there was a QQ avatar flashing, so Enshi was on QQ. Huang Ju wanted to turn off the computer, but accidentally clicked on the jump QQ avatar. A user named "Qingmingyu" sent Enshi a message to wish her a happy birthday, and the last one asked her where she was and why she didn't reply. What happened? Huang Ju saw that "Qingmingyu" was still online, so she typed for Enshi: Enshi had a car accident and was in the hospital. Thank you for your birthday wishes. Then Huang Ju turned off the computer.
When she rushed to the ward, she was surprised to see a young man quietly guarding Enshi in the ward. There was a large bunch of flowers on the table, and the person who came was Enshi's online friend "Qingmingyu." When Huang Ju faced him, she was shocked, how could it be him? "Qingmingyu" turned out to be Li Gu, whom she met in the cemetery of the Northern Kingdom.
Huang Ju could not accept it all at once, as if she had lost her soul in a daze.
Li Gu said sadly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Huang Ju shook his head and asked how long he had known his daughter. Li Gu said it was only three months. Wasn't Qingming three months ago? Li Gu met Enshi after burying his wife Lehua, which was incredible.
She pulled Li Gu's sleeve and dragged him outside the ward. She wanted him to leave Enshi because she only had one daughter, and she didn't want anything to happen to her again. Enshi's ward did not welcome him, so she asked him to leave immediately and never to look for her daughter again.
He said that he and Enshi had just established a relationship, so how could they break up? Enshi was the only woman who moved his heart, so he couldn't give up easily. Besides, Enshi's life was unexpected now, and he couldn't abandon her at this critical juncture.
The quarrel between the two forced the doctor to intervene, and the doctor persuaded Li Gu to leave.
Enshi's condition is not optimistic. A few days later, he is still in a coma. If this goes on, it will be doomed. The doctor suggested that Huang Ju should use means to stimulate Enshi to wake up. The doctor said that he could talk about it by family.
For Enshi, there was a generation gap between them. Enshi had only moved back home not long ago, and Huang Ju did not know much about Enshi's past. What she could tell Enshi about her memories could only be trivial in a short year, or it could be her and Dejiang's past.
The doctor saw that Huang Ju was so tired that her mouth was blistered, but it didn't work, so he asked her if she could let Li Gu, who sends a bunch of flowers every day, try it. When she mentioned Li Gu, Huang Ju gritted her teeth, and the flowers sent by the executioner were all thrown into the trash basket outside the ward by Huang Ju. Huang Ju glanced at her daughter who was asleep and finally agreed to the doctor's suggestion.
Li Gu was able to get close to Enshi. He took Enshi's hand and said that she had lost weight. Although they had only known each other for three months, it seemed that they were destined for three lives.
Originally, Li Gu insisted on celebrating Enshi's birthday with her, but Enshi said that there was someone equally important to him, her stepmother Huang Ju. She had never celebrated a birthday with her stepmother. This time, she wanted to experience a hug in her stepmother's arms and call her mother from the bottom of her heart.
Enshi was kind. Every month, she would choose to go to the orphanage after receiving her salary and bring the gifts she bought to visit the abandoned orphans. Enshi sang songs to the orphans, taught them to draw, cried with them, laughed with them, and became a good sister to the orphans.
Li Gu also chose to go to the orphanage on one day every month and took a lot of items from his personal car. Li Gu just sat quietly and watched the orphans share the material happiness he brought them. Li Gu was also lonely. He was an orphan who grew up in this orphanage, and it was the kind dean who took him in and supported him to go to school. Li Gu, who was lonely inside and indifferent on the outside, finally had his own career with an unyielding spirit. He will never forget the small world of the orphanage.
Li Gu and Enshi didn't go to the orphanage every day, until three months ago, they chose the same day, met at the orphanage, and instantly sparked a spark of love.
They are all children without a home.
Ms. Enshi said she felt happy every time she went to the orphanage, as if she had come home. Although she had a father and a stepmother, she had "buried" them since she was a child. She was an eccentric child who had considered herself an orphan since she was a child. It was only after her father's death that she woke up and thought of finding a home to make up for her guilt towards her stepmother.
When Li Gu said this, Huang Ju's eyes became wet. Li Gu did the same, but Li Gu forced a smile, and he continued to say that he wanted to tell Enshi, but she wanted to hear him but didn't have time to tell his story.
No one could give him the answer to how Li Gu came to this world. Li Gu was picked up by the director of the orphanage who went to the grave at Qingming Festival. Li Gu was also the name given to him by the dean later, and Li was the surname of the dean. From childhood to adulthood, Li Gu had always longed for a complete home, just like other children, but reality could not fulfill his wish.
Until one day, when he went to the cemetery of the Northern Kingdom to relax, he came across an uncleaned tombstone. On the tombstone was a woman who died during the Qingming Festival. Li Gu's heart was shocked, and he stubbornly determined that the uncleaned tombstone belonged to his mother. He bought a few more empty space next to the cemetery, brought an empty urn, and set up a tombstone. It was his father. He drew a picture of his father based on his feelings and pasted it on the tombstone. Every year at Qingming Festival, when he went to visit the graves, he would set up another tombstone of his relatives.
Li Gu had originally planned to live like this for the rest of his life. He already had the densest group of family tombs in the cemetery. He felt very relieved when he swept the graves during the Qingming Festival, and he felt inexplicably happy for the so-called "family reunion" he imagined.
After getting to know Enshi, Li Gu knew that Enshi could give him another living home. Next year's Qingming Festival, he didn't need to add another void tombstone.
So, Enshi, you must wake up. Li Gu sobbed.
A miracle happened, and Enshi reached out to his forehead and touched it. She was screaming in pain, it was a headache.
The next year in Qingming, in front of Dejiang's tombstone, Huang Ju took Enshi and Li Gu to sweep the tomb. After the worship, they passed by Li Gu's "family tomb group" and stood silently. At this time, the drizzle drizzled down again, obscuring the eyes of the tomb sweeper…
