Chapter 384: Little Ji Ming's Tears
After Ji Leng had a long talk with Chang Sheng, he returned to China two days later, and before leaving, he brought his son to Chang Sheng.
"Be obedient at Uncle Chang's house." Ji Leng said to his son. "Don't be naughty, don't bully Brother Chang. Homework should be completed on time, practice well when training, and remember to memorize words every day......"
Ji Ming kept nodding as he listened.
When his father had finished telling him, he said, "I know everything, Dad." ”
"It's good that you all know, I may go back for a longer time this time, you have to stay here for a while longer, don't cause trouble to Uncle Chang's family."
Ji Ming obviously knew it, but he still nodded: "I won't, Dad." ”
Chang Sheng watched the father and son say goodbye from the side.
He was interested and found that Ji Ming was a little more mature than his peers.
Maybe it's because he knew what he wanted to do since he was a child, and he gave up a lot of things in order to do it, and he traveled thousands of miles to this unfamiliar place, which made him mature quickly.
In short, he is more mature and stable than most of his peers.
Ji Leng finished telling his son, and then stood up and looked at Chang Sheng: "It's a lot of trouble for you during this time, Chang Chang ......"
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Where is it." Being able to help Xiao Ming grow is also my purpose. ”
Then he handed Ji Leng an envelope.
"What is this?"
Ji Leng took the envelope, but it was bulging to the touch, he had a thought.
Sure enough, Chang Sheng then confirmed his thoughts: "I will give your mother a little heart." ”
"How does this work?" Ji Leng was shocked and hurriedly stuffed the envelope back. But Chang Sheng was given to him, how could he take it back?
Naturally, it was blocked.
"How can I ask you for this money...... Ji Leng was also anxious. He felt that it was useless. And it was his mother who fell and was injured, and it has nothing to do with Chang Sheng, why does Chang Sheng want to give money?
"Why can't you ask me for money?" Chang Sheng said. "Your mom worked hard to raise you, but when she needed you. You're not with him. Who is responsible for all this? It's me, Old Ji. It was I who made you come to Italy away from home with a word, and it was I who made it impossible for you to be filial to your mother. This money, not your salary. It's not a favor for you, but a sincerity money for me to apologize to your mother. So you must accept this money. ”
Ji Leng's lips squirmed when he heard Chang Sheng say this, but in the end, he didn't say anything, and silently withdrew the hand that handed over the envelope.
In fact, he also knows that he needs a lot of money now, because his mother was hospitalized due to a fall, and he needs money for treatment and surgery.
And he has been in Italy for more than a year, and he actually has no savings.
He relied on his wife's income to pay for the elderly's treatment. As a man. He felt guilty.
He thought that this must have been after Chang Sheng knew about his predicament. Use this exclusively as an excuse. Support him.
He......
He felt that he could not refuse the money, and from the moment he got it, he could not refuse. If you want to return it, it's just a show.
But it would make him feel like he owed more and more favors......
Now he wants to do what Chang Sheng has entrusted to him.
That's the only way. He will feel that his conscience will be a little more reassured.
Ji Ming had been watching from the side, and he saw his father put away the envelope, then squatted down again, touched his head and said to him, "Xiao Ming, don't let your Uncle Chang down." ”
Ji Ming nodded again: "I won't disappoint Uncle Chang, Dad." ”
Ji sneered and nodded, this time when he got up, it was goodbye.
※※※
When Chang Sheng and Ji Ming could no longer see Ji Leng's back, Chang Sheng touched Ji Ming's head next to him: "Let's go, Xiao Ming." ”
Saying that, he turned around, but after he turned around, he found that Ji Ming didn't turn around with him.
That's when he looked down.
Ji Ming still maintained the posture of looking at his father, standing still and not moving.
Only then did he remember that Ji Ming was different from himself, he was a ten-year-old child.
The ten-year-old child will say goodbye to his relatives and live here alone, although he will live with him, although he will treat him like a son, but he will not have a real family by his side.
When the father is gone, the only loved one is gone, how will the ten-year-old react?
Naturally, it is reluctant and sad.
So Chang Sheng didn't urge him, just stood behind him, looking at Ji Ming's small back.
He saw Ji Ming raise his hand and wipe his eyes, but only once.
Then he turned around and saw Chang Sheng.
"I'm alright, Uncle Chang." He said obediently, although his eyes were still red, but he did not burst into tears as Chang Sheng had imagined. A ten-year-old child shows maturity that is not appropriate for his age, and appears to be stronger than many adults.
Chang Sheng smiled: "Okay, let's go home!" ”
※※※
Ji Ming received a warm welcome at Chang Sheng's home.
Among them, Chang Sheng's son, Chang Wei, who is more than a year old, is the happiest, and when he sees Ji Ming, he wants to reach out for Ji Ming to hug him, and the family laughs.
Everyone's laughter made Ji Ming feel the warmth of home.
But when he slept alone in the guest room at night, he still felt an irrepressible loneliness.
He suddenly missed his home in Shanghai, China, his father, his mother, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and his grandmother......
He even thought of the elementary school he attended, and thought of the friends in it.
All the scenes in China came to his mind, and when he closed his eyes, they were all these images.
Then he started crying, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, and he felt like an orphan that no one wanted.
But he was worried about being heard by people outside, Uncle Chang was a good person, and he didn't want Uncle Chang to worry.
So he covered himself in a coverer. Crying secretly.
The tears that were not left in the airport flowed here to vent and completely wet his pillow.
※※※
Chang Sheng only saw Ji Ming's eyes a little red and swollen when he was having breakfast the next day, and he knew that he must have cried last night.
Although he is stronger than many adults. But after all, he is a ten-year-old child, and he also has a weak side.
He didn't immediately ask Ji Ming at the dinner table where the family was having breakfast.
Because he cried last night, but he didn't hear any movement.
This shows that Ji Ming is a very strong child, and he has his own self-esteem.
He didn't want anyone to know that he was crying. Maybe Ji Leng will instill in him the idea of "a manly man doesn't flick when he has tears......
So Chang Sheng just glanced at Ji Ming and didn't say anything.
He asked about Ji Ming's red eyes on the way to school while driving Ji Ming to school.
"Didn't you sleep well yesterday, Xiao Ming?" Chang Sheng asked Ji Ming, who was sitting in the back seat, while watching.
"No, Uncle Chang." Ji Ming shook his head and replied.
"Don't lie, I see that your eyes are red, how can it be like this if you have rested?" Chang Sheng smiled.
Then he didn't hear Ji Ming's answer.
Chang Sheng continued to ask: "Is it because of homesickness?" Miss Dad, miss Mom? ”
This time, Ji Ming let out a small "um" in the back seat.
"If you want them, call them and listen to their voices. But it's a pity. You don't care what you think now. There's no way you're going back. Do you know why you're staying. Xiao Ming? Chang Sheng asked while driving.
"Because I'm going to make my dream come true......"
"That's right, Xiao Ming. But to achieve the dream comes at a price. That's one of the costs. There is no such thing in this world that can be easily obtained without paying a price. You buy a bottle of drink, and it costs money. That's the price. If you want to be a big star, you have to put in more sweat and tears than the average kid. If necessary, even bleed. You have to practice when everyone else can play, and you have to practice when everyone else is playing at home with mom and dad. You have to practice when someone else can sleep in bed and can't get up...... You can't afford to slack off until you're successful. After you succeed, you can't relax, because if you don't work hard, even if you succeed, you will become a failure. ”
Chang Sheng said, and then he asked: "Do you feel that it is very hard and tiring to wake up from your dreams now, and you don't want to be a big star?" ”
"Nope. Dad told me all these things, Uncle Chang. ”
Ji Ming's answer surprised Chang Sheng, and Ji Leng also told his son this......
But Ji Leng told him that it would be better.
"Well, these are the truths, and it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. I guess you should feel this by now, right? Remember what I once said to you, Xiao Ming, just when you thought you had failed the exam. ”
Ji Ming nodded: "Remember, Uncle Chang, you said that a dream is a flower that blooms on a cliff, and only the bravest people can pick it the most." ”
"Yes, this is it. You're climbing the cliff right now, working your way towards that flower. No matter what difficulties and situations you encounter in the future, think about this sentence and continue to work hard. Even if it's not for yourself, for your father, you have to succeed, you know? ”
Ji Ming said in the back: "I know, Uncle Chang, I've thought about it." If I make money, I won't let my dad work anymore, and so will my mom, and then I'm going to bring them all together and they won't have to do anything. I make money to feed them! ”
This ideal, although somewhat realistic, is very real.
When Chang Sheng heard this, he always felt a little disobedient when he heard this from the mouth of Ji Ming, who was only ten years old, but he did feel the filial piety of the child.
So he burst out laughing.
"Then let's work towards this goal!"
ps: ps, there will be a single chapter later, and I will talk to you about the last month, and I have a lot to say to you. It is related to what I have covered in today's chapters......
