Chapter 12: Return to Seoul

The Spring Festival is called "Jiuzheng" in South Korea, and it can also be called the Lunar New Year. "Old Jeong" is the second national festival in South Korea after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every Chinese New Year, South Korea is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

During the Spring Festival, the most important activity is to worship ancestors. Koreans have a strict saying about ancestor worship, and there are rules such as "fish east and meat west", "head east and tail west", "jujube, chestnut and pear persimmon", "left rice and right soup" and so on, and the procedures for sacrifice are also very strict.

Li Shengxian, who had also come back before, also knew these rules, but compared to worshipping his ancestors before, Li Shengxian didn't seem to be very interested. In this year's ancestor worship, Li Shengxian's attitude is much more correct.

Although he and his parents both have U.S. green cards, after their parents died in a car accident, his grandfather Lee Sung-ding brought their ashes back to South Korea. It was put into the ancestral cemetery of the Li family, which is also convenient for paying respects at times like the Spring Festival.

Looking at the parents in the photo, whose voice and smile are still clear, Li Shengxian, who participated in the ancestor worship this time, looked a little depressed. Even though he has accepted the reality of his parents' departure, he still feels a little sad today.

For Li Shengxian, when he lived in the United States before, as he got older and older, he always felt a little annoyed about his parents' care and nagging, thinking about when he could get rid of his parents' nagging and concern.

But with his parents leaving him, Li Shengxian really understood how painful it was to lose his parents. Even if there are grandparents, instead of his parents caring for him. But how can this kind of grandparents and grandchildren replace the relationship between father and son or mother and son?

Li Shengxian, who was standing quietly in the cemetery, felt that he had a lot to say to his parents, but he didn't know how to say it. After all, what he saw in front of him at the moment were only two cold tombstones, not his parents who would have held him in his arms before.

Looking at Li Shengxian, who was silent, Li Chengding, who was standing aside, also looked a little sad and said: "Shengxian, if you want to cry, you can cry!" Don't hold everything to yourself! ”

'Grandpa, don't worry! I'm not going to cry! Ou Dad hates my tears the most, and he says that tears are a coward's expression. A true man, even if he sheds blood, he can't shed tears. I don't want to disappoint O'dad, and I'm grown up. Isn't it? ’

With a trembling voice, he said this. Li Chengding, who listened, was both relieved and a little worried. Even Li Shengxian at this moment seems to be much more sensible than before. But he understood that the child had something on his mind.

In fact, after taking Li Shengxian home to recuperate, Li Chengding found that this grandson, who was originally cheerful, became a little autistic. It's just a young age, and suddenly encountered such a tragedy. If you are really not sad, it seems too unfilial.

Even gradually, Li Shengxian will talk to them, and Li Chengding can also see it. Li Shengxian's optimistic and cheerful heart has been closed, and when it will be opened, I am afraid that it is really unknown.

As much as possible, to meet Lee Sung-hyun's request to live alone. And after Li Shengxian returned this time, the still green face still had a look of ice, which also made Li Chengding a little worried.

In the face of Li Shengxian's answer, Li Chengding didn't say much, patted Li Shengxian's shoulder and said, "I'll go home with your grandmother first, you can stay here quietly!" If there is anything you can say to them, you can also tell them, I think they can hear it. ”

understands Li Shengxian, after a sudden disaster, he rarely knows his heart to outsiders. Li Chengding also hopes to give him a quiet environment, so that Li Shengxian can talk about his heart well. Otherwise, if you keep it in your heart, you will get sick sooner or later.

When Li Chengding left with his wife, who was also sad and weeping, only Li Shengxian was left in the cemetery. Li Shengxian, who was alone, still didn't speak, but sat down suddenly and quietly leaned on the tombstone where his parents were buried.

Feeling the coldness of the tombstone, Li Shengxian finally couldn't hold back his tears, but said with a smile: "Ou Dad, Ou Ma, the sage misses you so much!" ”

After saying this, Li Shengxian, who felt that the tears in his eyes couldn't be controlled, did not reach out to wipe his tears and continued: "Ou Dad, Shengxian is now able to live independently. I learned how to cook, I learned to do laundry, and I learned to take care of my own life.

Ou Mom, you always asked me to learn how to stir-fry with you, but the sage always felt annoyed. I'm sorry, the sage only now knows that there are not only spices but also your love for the sage in the meals cooked by Ou Ma! It's a pity that the sages can't eat the food you cook anymore.

Ou Dad, Ou Ma, please rest assured. I know that you want the sages to live happily ever after. I will follow your wishes, take care of your grandparents, take care of yourself, and you will take good care of yourself in the kingdom of heaven! ”

Li Shengxian, who said these words to himself, recalled all the memories of his happiness with his parents. This kind of family affection can only recall the pain, which makes Li Shengxian feel happy, but his heart is full of torment.

Leaning against the tombstone, Lee Sung-hyun, who seemed to be close to his parents, was alone for half an hour. Although many Li Shengxian can't remember what he said. But after talking, he felt that his mood was indeed much more relaxed.

Feeling that there were no tears flowing from his eyes, Li Shengxian got up again. Looking at the photos of his parents on the tombstone, he showed an innocent smile and said, "Ou Dad, Ou Ma, the sage is gone." When I have time, the sages will come back to see you! ”

Li Shengxian, who turned around and left with a smile, also knew that he had talked to himself before, and he had poured out all the sad things that had accumulated for a long time. Even though he knew that his parents couldn't hear him, he still felt a lot more relaxed.

It's just that after walking out of the cemetery, the handsome smile that was originally displayed quickly changed to the ice face mode. Although Li Shengxian knew that such an expression was not good. But he felt that he felt more down-to-earth with an ice face.

Back at home, looking at his grandmother, who had calmed down, Li Shengxian also showed a few smiles. This change made the two old men look very happy. After all, the death is gone, and the happiness of the living is the most important thing!

A few days after the Spring Festival, Lee Sung-hyun, who stayed at home all day and didn't go out much, received a call from Park Jin-tae. As Park Jin-tae said, MBC TV officially contacted the website to buy the rights to adapt the script of the novel.

Although the results of physical publishing are not as good as expected. But for the website and Li Shengxian, the sales of more than 200,000 copies are actually worth rejoicing. And the adaptation of the novel to TV is believed to attract new attention.

Knowing this, Lee Sung-hyun also knew that it was time to return to Seoul. Even at this time, in fact, many people who came back for the New Year have already returned to work. But Li Shengxian still stayed at home as before.

As for the schools, it is not yet time for the school to start. Therefore, when he learned that Lee Sung-hyun was going to return to Seoul, the two old men who were also a little worried about Lee Sung-hyun being sick at home were still very reluctant to agree to him leaving.

Instead of taking a car when he returned, Lee Sung-hyun returned to Seoul by train. At this time, it is still relatively easy to book train tickets. Finally, the constraints and long pain of riding a long-distance bus are avoided.

Li Shengxian, who got on the train by the way, looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to him. Suddenly, I felt a little nostalgic for Kim Taeyeon, who I met in the car when I went back to Jeonju the last time. By this time, Kim Taeyeon should have returned to Seoul!

Although the two exchanged phones, Li Shengxian, who returned home, almost forgot that there was still the girl's phone in his mobile phone. And after the Spring Festival, Lee Sung-hyun also did not receive any text messages from Kim Tae-yeon.

Thinking of this, Lee Sung-hyun also understands that this girl will make her debut from this year. It's just that their debut journey, I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing! But there are some things, even if he knows that it will happen, I'm afraid that no one will believe it when he says it!
