Then she took the kettle and made a pot of water and came back to boil, added two spoonfuls of coffee to her cup, and waited until the water boiled, then added hot water and slowly boiled.

Hand the brewed coffee to Meng Yu.

"Mom, here you go, be careful of the burn."

Meng Yu stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you." ”

Jiang Zhi pulled over the chair and sat down to rest, looking up at the window.

In the room, neither of them spoke, it seemed a little quiet, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Meng Yu took a sip of coffee from the cup and quietly observed his daughter.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've sat down like this to take a closer look at my daughter.

It's the exact opposite of when I was young.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhi turned around, and the two looked at each other.

Meng Yu lowered his eyes a little embarrassed.

Jiang Zhi suddenly spoke: "Mom, have you been to see Ah Yi?" ”

Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and shook his head.

"That kid probably hated his mother a little, and every time I called and said I wanted to see him, he turned her down on the excuse that he was too busy."

Meng Yu said with a somewhat helpless expression: "Even if his mother has already arrived at the gate of his school, he is reluctant to come out to meet his mother, and he says that he can't leave, and his mother can't give him the things she wants to buy for him." ”

Hear the words.

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment.

This really seems to be something that Jiang Yi will do.

But there is no way, Ah Yi has been a little paranoid since he was a child, and only she, a sister who is half an hour older than him, restricts him and disciplines him, so her personality may be a little out of line.

But he still opened his mouth to comfort her: "Mom, it's not what you think, Ah Yi is really busy, I've been to his school a few times, he can't even see me sometimes, he's been researching and doing experiments in the laboratory, it's not aimed at you." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yu raised his eyes: "Really? ”

Jiang Zhi nodded: "Really, Ah Yi chose clinical medicine, and he had excellent grades in school, and he was caught by many professors to help in the laboratory, so he was really busy." ”

Hearing her say this, Meng Yu was relieved in his heart.

As long as he didn't deliberately hide from her, if he didn't have time, then she would go a few more times and give him what she wanted to bring to his teacher.

After saying this, the two fell silent again.

Jiang Zhi looked at the ray of sunlight coming in through the window, thinking of the little boy in the story told by Teacher Xu Ran.

The eyes gradually became firm.

"Mom."

Hearing her suddenly call her, Meng Yu subconsciously responded: "Eh." ”

"I'm sorry."

Jiang Zhi turned his head and pursed his lips to look at her.

Meng Yu's brain went blank in an instant, and he was stunned.

It took a while to come back to my senses.

"Know, you. Why did you apologize to your mom? ”

Jiang Zhi lowered his head: "Because I am too ignorant, I only selfishly think that my parents have not accompanied us since we were young, and I feel that my parents don't love us and hate us, so I left us at home."

Every time I listen to the children in the class talking about where their parents took them to play again, I always feel envious, everyone else has their parents to accompany us, but we don't, we can only be left at home by ourselves and don't ask.

So much so that he resented his heart, self-righteously alienated his parents and erected a high wall between his closest people. ”

Meng Yu was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "It's not like this."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Zhi: "But I know now, because it was really difficult for the family at that time, and our family is two children, so the expenses are naturally greater than those of others."

If Mom and Dad don't go out to work, our family will have no food to eat, so we won't be able to grow up with us like ordinary families or wealthy families. ”

Meng Yu's eyes were slightly red, and a tear couldn't help but slip down.

She covered her mouth and sobbed lowly, "I'm sorry mom I'm sorry for you. I didn't give you a good childhood, I wanted you to start your independence early. Mom also regrets it, I'm sorry. ”

Jiang Zhi reluctantly pulled out a few pieces of paper on the table, and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

"Mom, no need to apologize, you just did something that was best for the family, and it turned out that you were right, you and Dad successfully started from scratch and are now able to give us a rich life, this is the proof.

There is always a price to be paid behind success, and the price you and your father have paid for success is to lose the growth of me and Ayi, there is still a long way to go, we can take our time. ”

"Know." Hearing her say this, she, a woman who was nearly forty years old, cried even louder.

Many cubs heard the sound and all gathered together.

"Teacher, who's crying in your room?"

"Teacher, is that beautiful aunt crying or are you crying?"

"Teacher, are you alright?"

“.”

The cubs were all standing under her window, looking up at it worriedly.

Jiang Zhi got up and walked to the windowsill with a face, and said with a smile: "The teacher is fine, you all go play, the teacher has some whispers to say to the beautiful aunt." ”

Seeing that there were no tears on Jiang Zhi's face, it shouldn't be her crying, it was the beautiful aunt who was crying.

The cubs only then dispersed in three steps and went back to play.

Jiang Zhi closed the window and sat back in his seat.

looked at Meng Yu, who was already crying, his eyes were gentle and helpless: "Mom, don't cry." ”

Meng Yu cried for a while before he gradually calmed down.

Seeing that she calmed down, Jiang Zhicai continued: "So I have made up my mind, no longer dwelling on the past, I want to focus on the present and the future."

Let the past pass, I want to completely reconcile with my past self, and I also want to completely reconcile with my father and mother.

Mom, in the future, our family of five will live a good life and live a good life. ”

I heard her say that she is a family of five.

Meng Yu's tears fell again.

But this time, she cried with joy, not remorse, not guilt.

It's a joy that fills the eyes.

She grabbed Jiang Zhi's hand and nodded vigorously: "Okay!" In the future, our family of five will live a good life! ”

But she seemed to think of something suddenly, and her eyes gradually became worried.

"That Ah Yi over there"

Jiang Zhi knew what she was worried about.

Because Jiang Yi is different from her, she wants to reconcile with her family in the same way, but Jiang Yi is different.

His obsession is a little too deep.

Even to the point of paranoia.

He didn't like to be close to his parents, and he wouldn't even make a phone call if she hadn't told him to call home once a month and she would check.

Call home at a fixed time every month, not like calling home to catch up.

It's more like to complete the task she gave him, and mechanically call home to express two words of condolence.

Then hang up and report to her that he had already beaten.

It wasn't that he wanted to call home at all, it was that she wanted him to call home.
