Chapter 179 Waiting for Reunion
Chapter 179 Waiting for Reunion
"Wait... don't wait. Sister doesn't want you to wait too long."
Afraid that Li Zhendong would notice something unusual, Jiang Li sniffed her nose, turned around and put the cloth bag back.
"Anyway, remember to hide these things and use them sparingly, okay?"
"I've also told the school, study hard and the teacher will take good care of you."
Li Zhendong only felt that Jiang Li was a little strange tonight, she seemed to talk a lot, as if there would be no chance to talk in the future. But when he looked at Jiang Li's smiling face, he could not have thought that this was the last bit of warmth before parting.
The next day, Jiang Li asked for leave for Li Zhendong and took him out to play.
First, she cut his hair, and then took him to the tailor shop to make clothes. The tailor was measuring his size, and Li Zhendong opened his hands obediently and asked, "Sister, don't I already have clothes? Why do you need to make them?"
"You're growing taller now, and your clothes will soon be too big for you."
"Then can't we wait until we can't wear it anymore?"
Jiang Li looked at him through the mirror, endured the bitterness of parting, and smiled faintly: "Do it first, sister wants to see how you look in new clothes."
After saying this, Jiang Li no longer dared to look at him. She took a deep breath and turned around to tell the tailor, "Master, make him a size bigger so he can wear it next year."
On the way home, Jiang Li bought chicken, pork and a basket of eggs, and also bought candied haws and a small wooden toy for Li Zhendong. Li Zhendong was very happy and felt even happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing him so happy, Jiang Li felt even more sad.
She was grateful for this time travel, which allowed her to save Li Zhendong's life and let him experience the warmth he had long missed. But she also hated this time travel, which forced her to leave and made him fall from heaven to hell.
I just hope that Xiao Zhendong is strong enough to survive these turbulent times.
In the evening, Jiang Li prepared a big meal for Li Zhendong. While Li Zhendong was eating, he asked why the meal was so good tonight. Jiang Li just lied and said it was because the company gave out bonuses and she had too much money to spend.
At night, until Li Zhendong fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Li picked up the pen and wrote down his parting instructions line by line.
Time never goes slower because of people's attempts to keep it. Jiang Li closed her eyes and didn't want to open them, but still waited until dawn.
That morning, Jiang Li personally sent Li Zhendong to school and talked to the teacher for a long time. She stood outside the window and watched Li Zhendong study hard, feeling proud of being a sister. If she had a younger brother, their relationship would probably be exactly the same as hers and Li Zhendong's.
Seeing Li Zhendong turning around to look at her, Jiang Li smiled at him, made a cheering gesture, and then turned and left neatly.
After returning home, Jiang Li chopped wood, fed chickens, fetched water, and cleaned the house. She usually hated chopping wood, but today she didn't seem to feel tired at all. She didn't stop until she had packed up all the firewood stored at home. Whenever she thought about Li Zhendong having to do all these jobs alone, Jiang Li felt distressed and sad, and her eyes were so sore that she could hardly open them.
After finishing all the housework, Jiang Li took out some flour and prepared to make dumplings for Li Zhendong.
We need to make more dumplings today because little Zhendong is still growing. Last time he ate more than 20 dumplings by himself...
As Jiang Li wrapped her clothes, tears began to flow. She tried to wipe them with her sleeves, but she couldn't stop them. She didn't know how sad Li Zhendong must be tonight. Although she knew he would be fine in the future, she still felt very distressed when she thought about how he had to go through such a long period of loneliness and solitude before he could get to where the crowds were.
The dumplings had just been wrapped and she was about to cover them with a lid when Jiang Li felt a flash of white light before her eyes...
She looked at the dumplings that were gradually becoming blurred and her eyes became moist.
When Li Zhendong came home from school, he found his house completely new.
A lot of firewood was chopped, the water tank was filled, the tables and chairs were wiped clean, and even his quilt was taken out to dry in the yard, exuding a smell of sunshine. It seemed that my sister was back, but why was the house so quiet?
Now was the time to cook, so Li Zhendong went to the kitchen first. As soon as he walked in, he found two plates of raw dumplings on the table. It seemed that they were made by Jiang Li and were ready to be eaten tonight.
But what about my sister?
Where did it go?
"elder sister?"
Li Zhendong shouted a few times and walked around inside and outside but couldn't find Jiang Li. Finally, he came to her door.
Jiang Li's door was usually locked, but today it was open. Li Zhendong thought there was a thief in the house, so he pushed the door open and went in. But the house was fine, with no signs of thieves, and of course, Jiang Li was not there either.
Feeling strange, Li Zhendong locked the door and prepared to go back to his room to change into old work clothes and burn firewood to boil water, so that the dumplings could be put into the pot when his sister came back. After returning to the room to get clothes, Li Zhendong found that there seemed to be something on the pillow. He walked over and saw a letter on it.
Li Zhendong immediately had a bad premonition. He threw his clothes on the table and hurried over to get the letter.
After opening the letter and reading just one line of words, Li Zhendong could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thump, with the letter still tightly in his hand.
When he held the letter in front of him again, Li Zhendong's hands were still shaking.
"Xiao Zhendong:
When you see this letter, my sister is gone.
Please believe me, I am not leaving you this time, I am not abandoning you, I am leaving for some reason. If possible, I want to stay with you for a long time, watch you grow up, watch you achieve success in school, watch you get married and have children, watch you have many children and grandchildren. But... I am really leaving.
My sister has paid the rent for this house for six years. The receipt is in my room. You know where it is. In addition, my sister has already communicated with the school. From now on, you will have lunch and dinner with the teacher. When you are full, you can come back home.
Xiao Zhendong, you will be alone in the future, so you must take good care of yourself. I believe you can do it, right?
Although I hope you live a peaceful and smooth life, the Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness and death, separation from loved ones, long-lasting resentment, failure to obtain, and inability to let go. It seems that eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. No one can live a life without twists and turns, especially those who do great things.
You must remember that all suffering is a form of practice, behind the pain is a gift, and after the suffering is a blessing. If you don't suffer, you can't become a leader. No matter what you encounter in the future, you must remember not to be frightened by the little setbacks and small sufferings in front of you. You must look forward and believe that the light is ahead.
Well, if I continue, there won’t be enough paper to write.
The song doesn't necessarily end when we disperse, we will meet again someday.
Xiao Zhendong, one day, we will meet again. I hope you can stick to your original intention and wait for the day we meet again.
Ginger pear. "
