The sun shined through the window and sprinkled on Liu Yarong's hospital bed. She slowly opened her eyes, still feeling a little tired. A pair of hands were held tightly, and she glanced at Ai Xin, who was lying on the edge of the bed and asleep.

I don't know how long it has been since I have been held so tightly by a child. Liu Yarong's heart was a little touched, a little familiar, and a little warm.

Since Tong Yu entered the film and television industry, he has gathered less and separated more with himself. Although she was reluctant to give up, Tong Yu had already earned enough money, but she couldn't say anything to let Tong Yu leave the circle. She knew that Tong Yu was already deep in the circle and couldn't quit easily. Besides, Tong Yu has almost no skills, and if he doesn't become an actor, he may not even be able to guarantee that he will not be dismissed if he goes out to work.

Thinking about it this way, maybe Tong Yu met Ai Xin, which can be regarded as a kind of luck. Although Tong Yu's life is no problem to take care of himself, Liu Yarong doesn't dare to say how good a life is.

For many people, money isn't everything...... For Tong Yu, this situation is even more obvious.

Liu Yarong still remembers the years when Tong's father just passed away, Tong Yu didn't communicate with anyone, and he only locked himself in his room after school every day, and he would only come out when it was time to eat, talk a few words to himself, and return to the room alone after eating.

This situation continued until Tong Yu graduated from junior high school, when Tong Yu was about to turn sixteen, and Liu Yarong was still worried about how to work a few more jobs to make up for Tong Yu's high school tuition. The tuition fee for junior high school is not so high, and with the school's subsidy, the mother and son can barely get by. From high school onwards, there is no such high subsidy. What's more, Tong Yu's grades are good, and Liu Yarong has been thinking about it in her heart, wanting Tong Yu to go to a better high school education.

Unexpectedly, one day, Tong Yu ran home in a hurry, and there was still some immature face with a light that she had not seen for a long time.

"Mom, I, I've got a job" Tong Yu shook the business card in his hand and looked at her with some excitement, "I just work at the sushi restaurant at the corner of the street, helping to receive customers and clean up the table, four or five hundred yuan a month!"

"Work?" Although Liu Yarong was surprised, she was also a little happy, this money is not a small amount for the current family. She was a little puzzled why the sushi restaurant would offer Tong Yu such a high salary for a waiter, but then she thought about it, probably planning to use Tong Yu as the façade of the sushi restaurant, and a young and handsome face like him must be an extremely cost-effective investment to attract customers.

"Okay, it's okay to go out to work in the summer. Liu Yarong smiled with relief.

"Summer vacation?" Tong Yu was stunned and hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and looking at Liu Yarong again, "Mom, I'm going to ...... I'm going to work in the future......"

"I'm going to work in the future?" Liu Yarong looked at him puzzled, "What does it mean to go to work in the future?"

"......" Tong Yu was silent for a while, looking at her a little timidly, but his voice was full of determination, "I don't plan to go to school anymore, in the future, I will go out to earn money......"

"Smack!"

Liu Yarong slapped Tong Yu in the face, she couldn't control her trembling right hand, and there was uncontrollable anger in her voice.

"What kind of bastard are you talking about?" Liu Yarong looked at him, and suddenly felt strange, "What do you think I work so many jobs for?

"Mom......" Tong Yu gently stroked his somewhat hot cheeks, but his expression was still as gentle as ever, with some comfort in his tone, "I understand, but I can't see you working so hard...... I'm already older, it doesn't matter if I read or not, go out early to earn money, and we won't have to live this hard life anymore. ”

"You know money, money, money, money, you have a junior high school degree now, how much can you earn?" Liu Yarong shouted at him, "You have to go to high school and take the university entrance examination to earn more money and live a good life!"

"Mom!" Tong Yu's volume raised slightly, and his brows furrowed, "I know, I know all that...... But I can't wait......"

"Are you so anxious to earn money? The family won't give you food? Or is there something missing from you? Why are you in a hurry!"

"It's not ......" Tong Yu lowered his head, and after a while, he sighed and opened his mouth again.

"I'm not in a hurry to make money, I'm just ...... Mom, I know reading is important, but you're even more important...... I'm just you now, and you're not in good health. If anything happens to you for me to read...... I'm alone, I really can't live......" Tong Yu raised his chin, his eyes were already full of tears, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Yarong, "Mom, I will earn money, I will earn a lot of money and not let you suffer, I beg you...... Let me go to work. ”

Nearly 20 years have passed, but Tong Yu's tears back then are still in Liu Yarong's heart, and he can't let go of them for a long time. Since then, she has never seen Tong Yu like this again. Strictly speaking, she has seen Tong Yu less and less often over the years.

As parents, even if they miss their children, they have to admit that they will eventually grow up and have their own lives. And himself, although he has raised them for all these years, has no way to participate in their entire lives.

"Auntie, are you awake?"

Ai Xin slowly woke up from her deep sleep, and said hello when she saw Liu Yarong with her eyes open, and suddenly found that she was still holding the other party's hand tightly, and let go a little embarrassed: "I was a little tired last night, so I fell asleep...... Auntie, I'll go buy you something to eat, what do you want to eat?"

"No need, can't you let someone send it?" Liu Yarong pointed out the door, "You're so tired, just rest more." ”

"It's okay...... Oh......" Ai Xin stood up suddenly, his legs were a little numb, and the wound that had not fully recovered made him a little unstable for a while.

"What?" Liu Yarong couldn't help grinning and showed a big smile, "Are you like me, low blood sugar?"

"No, my leg is numb. Ai Xin shyly touched the back of her head and laughed, "I'm here to take care of you, so you don't have to let someone send it." What would you like to eat? porridge or noodles or rice?"

"Let's make porridge. Liu Yarong thought about it, but she still didn't have much appetite.

"Okay, I'll buy it. ”

Ai Xin nodded, walked to the door, and was about to open the door, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Liu Yarong.

"That's right, Auntie......" Her eyes were a little fluttering, and after a while, she looked at Liu Yarong firmly, "Thank you...... All things. ”

What a silly boy...... Liu Yarong looked at her back as she opened the door and left, and suddenly fell in love with her.

Since he is destined to not be able to accompany Tong Yu for too long, it is not bad to have such a girl in the second half of his life......
