Yu Jingdong and Shen Yunqiu did not join Yu Fei and the others, and found a western restaurant alone. Shen Yunqiu really had a bad appetite, he stopped after only two sips of the soup he ordered, and ordered a glass of water to drink there.
There is a soothing blue tone in the restaurant, and the diners are enjoying their food quietly. Occasionally, a waiter walks by, and their footsteps are so light that they can hardly be felt. Yu Jingdong concentrated on eating all the food on his plate, Shen Yunqiu asked him, "Is it enough? I still have some here, I haven't eaten it yet."
Yu Jingdong wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Actually, I also have a bad appetite. However, my mother taught me to eat my own food under any circumstances. This is the respect for the people who produce the food. It also gives you the strength to face life well.¡±
Shen Yunqiu was a little moved. No one had ever told her that, under any circumstances, to eat her own food. Sometimes, eating also requires courage, not every meal will be pleasant. Without saying anything, she picked up the knife and fork again, and ate silently, very serious and focused, as if what she was facing was not food, but the unknown difficulties in the future.
It took Shen Yunqiu a long time to finish the small dinner. Yu Jingdong waited quietly for her to eat. When she was about to finish eating, he played and sang a piece of "Old Days" by bobby vinton. Time is like the light with flowing colors, there are dim yellow halos, and there are bright and beautiful, flowing into the heart little by little.
The waiter removed the cutlery from the table and served fragrant freshly ground coffee. Shen Yunqiu was immersed in Yu Jingdong's singing, abandoned her ups and downs, and let her eyes follow his smile and wander along with the music, and the way she rested her chin with one hand was also imprinted on Yu Jingdong's heart. Jingdong's heart.
"What are you thinking? So engrossed." Yu Jingdong's voice brought Shen Yunqiu's floating thoughts back.
"Huh? Ah, I was just thinking, what was your past like?" Shen Yunqiu smiled shyly.
"Want to know?" Yu Jingdong sat down and asked.
Shen Yunqiu didn't answer, just nodded slightly, staring at his big eyes without any dodge.
"Then let's go, let's take a walk and tell you slowly." Yu Jingdong called the waiter to pay the bill
The ground lamps on both sides of Xiangzhang Avenue are reflected on the densely staggered tree crowns, setting off the night at the end of winter like the early morning of spring. With warm light, the green is as strong as an oil painting.
Walking beside Yu Jingdong, Shen Yunqiu felt a sense of tranquility, and suddenly felt the desire to go on like this, the light gracefully cast her shadow, and also overlapped his shadow. There was a wind blowing, bringing coldness, Yu Jingdong stopped, helped her straighten her coat, and tied her scarf tightly, and then pulled her to sit on the bench by the roadside.
The smoke had already been lit by him, held between his slender fingers, and slowly brought to his lips, the calmness contained in the movements made Shen Yunqiu in a trance for a moment, as if Yu Jingdong's appearance was as early as her It existed in my mind, and now it suddenly became vivid.
"When my father died, I was still very young, and my mother is probably my current age. She was originally an admirer of my father, and later became his assistant. When I got married, my father's health was not very good. In their short marriage, in fact, my father has been thinking about his wife and children who are far away in China, but my mother loves him as always, until he is on the way back to life." When Yu Jingdong talked about his father, there was no ambiguity in his words. How much warmth is like talking about an irrelevant person.
"After his death, my mother stuck to his will and wanted to find his family in China. At that time, my mother didn't have a job. The royalties left by my father could have allowed us to get through those difficult days, but she refused to move. This money. It's just because my father said that he owed his wife and children in this life, and he has to repay them. At times like this, she always forgets that we are also his wife and children." She tucked the hand she was rubbing into her coat and held it. She hesitated for a moment, but her eyes touched the sadness in his eyes that was so faint that she could hardly ignore it. Finally, she let him hold it like this, which was warm and astringent.
"My mother used her years of savings and money from temporary jobs to support us until she found a stable job in Ohio. She still insisted on doing various temporary jobs at night just to save more money. I can go back to China to help my father fulfill his wish."
"Your mother really loves your father!" Shen Yunqiu said softly.
Yu Jingdong glanced at her and said, "Is it cold? Let's keep walking, it can be warmer." Then he pulled her to stand up.
"I knew from an early age that all the money left by my father has nothing to do with me, it is left to his family in China. What I can do??It is to read good books, deliver newspapers and milk to neighbors every day, go to church every week to help clean the lawn, and use these in exchange for money to buy things that I also want. Yu Jingdong paused, looked at the stars in the sky, and continued: "At that time, my dream was how to earn a lot of money so that I could help my mother and make myself live better." When Anna was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, I asked my mother to use the money my father left behind, but she refused. He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yunqiu, and said, "Anna, I mentioned it to you." "
"I remember." Shen Yunqiu replied.
"Well. Anna is a simple and happy girl. She grew up in an orphanage, and we met when we worked together at a gas station. Although she didn't have a good education, she was very happy every day, even when she was seriously ill. In her days, she still believed that life was beautiful and fair. However, God did not let her stay because of this. For a long time, I felt that she was still living quietly and happily in a corner of the world. Only in this way can I Reduce the guilt of not being able to help her cure. Because of her, I didn't talk to my mother for more than three years, and I hate her selfishness." Yu Jingdong's voice was as low as a stone.
"However, that year, after she came to China alone to find Yu Fei and the others, she fell ill. I received a letter from my elder brother and came here without any delay. Only then did I know how important my mother is to me. Even if she I used to be selfish, but I still love her. It was also when I returned to China that I saw my father¡¯s will for the first time. He left all his money to his elder brother, while my mother only left a few photos of him when he was old, and Letters from their first few years."
Shen Yunqiu's hand involuntarily clenched Yu Jingdong's cool palm, wanting to give him some comfort. He looked back and smiled at her, "I'm not sad anymore. This is the fact that I have to accept since I was a child. It's just that I was not worth it for my mother, but she felt very happy because she was by his side and because of me. Fortunately, our hard work for so many years not only allowed our mother and son to survive, but also accumulated our own wealth. At that time, the money could be used a lot in China."
"So, you came back to invest?" Shen Yunqiu asked.
"My mother hopes that I can be with my father's family, and thinks that only in this way can the Yu family be reunited." Yu Jingdong replied.
"But why didn't she live in China?" Shen Yunqiu was puzzled.
"Mother is a person with a gentle appearance and a firm heart. She knows that her father has never fallen in love with her, so she doesn't want to let herself live in front of Yu's family. She just needs to know that they are good." Yu Jingdong has an opinion Mother's understanding, but also heartache. "In these years, I have been living in China. Except for the time when she broke her leg and stayed with her for a while, she only allowed me to go back to see her every year during the Christmas holiday. She always wanted me to honor the lintel of Yu's house. Isn't it very Pedantic?" Yu Jingdong asked with a helpless smile.
"She is a strong mother." Shen Yunqiu said.
"Yes. However, she never asked me if I liked it or not. After so many years, I have gradually adapted to life in China, but this kind of conflict of ideas caused by different education since childhood made me very painful. I think it is this kind of conformity that makes me lose my original self day by day." Yu Jingdong stood still, turned to look at Shen Yunqiu and said: "Yunqiu, people are alive, and throughout their lives, they may not be all unfortunate, and they will not have happiness. Long-term happiness. But this is the ordeal God gave us to let us understand the preciousness of life. I know that since you came to Jinghao, you have also experienced my pain. Sometimes, the rules are more embarrassing than the facts themselves It's unbearable, but the efforts we can make are really small."
Shen Yunqiu pulled out her hand, and said softly but firmly: "This is because you have surrendered to money, I can't do this kind of surrender." She raised her head so that she could see him more clearly face, "I understand your respect for money because of your childhood life. However, this does not mean that it can be a reason for approving some specious rules. I can't stop you from surrendering. I have chosen to remain silent. It's a disgrace to me."
Silence once again wraps two contradictory hearts. They approached each other again and again, but there was always an invisible wall separating them, standing there rigidly, watching indifferently that they could not cross each other. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
