Chapter 35: Coming to Japan
When Lingzi opened her eyes, she found that Liu Lili was awake and was sitting at the head of the bed and staring at her.
"Awakened? What did you dream about? I was muttering." Liu Lili smiled.
"I was so excited last night. You drank too much and fell asleep quickly. I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. I was confused when it was dawn? Don't you need to go to work today?" Lingzi rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"You are really confused. What kind of work is it on the weekend?" Liu Lili stretched, "I slept so well when I drank some wine. I slept until nine o'clock in the morning. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't dare to disturb you. I endured my ginger stomach until now, and you can see that it's almost noon."
"My God, I'm sleeping so hard!" Linzi rumbling and rushed into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, a sophisticated and exquisite girl appeared in front of Liu Lili, "Let's go, let's have a meal. After dinner, I'm going to visit Aunt Zhang. Didn't you say that your mother lives with you last night?"
"Did I say it last night?" Liu Lili was a little surprised.
"I said that when you were drinking too much, you still complained, saying that Aunt Zhang monitors you every day and is in her thirties without any freedom at all." Lingzi smiled.
"It seems that you can't drink too much wine. If you say too much, you will lose it." Liu Lili smiled helplessly, "Let's go, I'll treat you to morning tea."
"It's already noon and it's still morning tea. Do you think it's in the south?" Lingzi sent a voice to Gu Sheng, saying that he was not in a hurry with his childhood friend and could only go back in the evening.
"Tsk tsk, look at how free you are. You can go back at what time you want. You don't have to worry about the child. Is this considered taking a leave?" Liu Lili looked envious.
"Don't mention the child, the boss doesn't let him care, and the second child doesn't need to be careless. I am a mother, and outsiders are very envious of it, but in fact I am quite anxious inside." Lingzi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
After checking out, the two of them came to the busiest business district in Phoenix City. Liu Lili pointed to a Cantonese restaurant called Zhuangyuanlou and said, "It's this place. I wonder if you have eaten it before?"
"Old Gu took me here once, and it tasted good." Lingzi smiled.
"Then it." Liu Lili seemed to be a regular customer. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the north window of the second floor. The scenery here is best to see the scenery on both sides of the artificial lake on the north side, and it is not too hot to burn.
"Okay, it seems you are a regular customer." Suzuko is relatively home. In addition to the necessary social engagements and business negotiations, she has been staying at home in recent years, and she will not go out until she goes out. Unless Gu Sheng pulls her, she will not go out for a month.
"Oh, I just heard your story yesterday, and I haven't told you about my situation yet." Liu Lili sighed, ordered a few signature Cantonese dishes, and began to talk.
"Maybe you think that compared to your scolding for many years, I live a heavenly life. Indeed, I am indeed happier than you in material terms, but the spiritual shackles my parents put on me are no less than you." Liu Lili pushed a plate of soy sauce chicken feet in front of Lingzi. She knew that Lingzi liked to eat chicken feet the most.
"Oh, my favorite!" Linzi's eyes shone, and immediately picked up a piece with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. "I still remember the tiger skin chicken feet I ate at your house. It tastes so good!"
"If you like you, eat more!" Liu Lili's gaze could be described as pampering.
"Continue to tell you, why didn't you tell me when you were a child?" Lingzi said while gnawing on chicken feet.
"When I was a child, I just felt a little depressed and didn't fully realize this kind of shackles. Until you left home that year, this was a big deal at that time." Liu Lili recalled.
"Well, I was actually a little scared after thinking about it, but it was more of a release and a feeling of breaking free from the cage." Suzuko said.
"Yes! That's the feeling! Break out of the cage!" Liu Lili was a little excited: "I was shocked at the time and was worried about your safety, but my first feeling was that you were liberated."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't congratulate you on your admission to university. I was also very sad and angry. I thought my grandmother died in vain. I can't stay in this family for a day!" Lingzi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
"I understand, of course I understand. If it were me, I wouldn't forgive them. After you left, I became even more lonely. You don't know how much pressure my parents put on me in order to apply for the college entrance examination. They had to decide on everything. I didn't even have the right to choose any major." Liu Lili looked sad and angry.
"What happened later? Which university did you go to?"
"The policy was a bit special when I took the college entrance examination. At that time, I received notices from two universities. One was chosen by my parents for me, which was close to home. To be honest, this university ranked high and was ideal, but I didn't like the major, so I chose a university in Guangzhou, which is the farthest from home."
"No wonder you are so familiar with Cantonese cuisine, I understand." Suzuko laughed.
"You don't know how fierce the struggle was at that time. I even stood on the roof of the three-story building where we lived. If they didn't let me go to Guangzhou to go to school, I would jump down!"
"Oh my God! You are too awesome!" Suzuko covered her mouth in surprise.
"So I won the battle. My parents were so angry, but there was no way. I watched me pull the suitcase and board the train. At that moment, I was liberated just like you thought! Completely liberated!" Liu Lili smiled proudly.
"Then you go to Guangzhou to go to college and study the major you like? Don't ruin your future in anger."
"It must be. Of course, it is one of the reasons why you want to stay away from them. You said to me, didn't you run away from home after a moment of anger?" Liu Lili smiled.
"Oh! When I was young, I was impulsive, and sometimes I regretted it when I thought about it, but I didn't have any regrets, so I could only continue to move forward." Suzuko's expression was a little sad.
"Do you think my mother has a good temper and often she envies me?" Liu Lili put the last spoonful of ginger juice into her mouth, looking at her enjoyment.
"Of course, so I think you have a freak with your parents so hard that I don't understand." Lingzi picked up a piece of radish cake and let Liu Lili eat it all if she didn't do it.
"My mother told me since I was a child that you should study hard and not be a clerk like my mother. My father often said, Lili, you have to be brave. My colleagues and children in my father's unit are all very promising, so don't embarrass my father!" Liu Lili shook her head.
"No wonder you worked so hard, it turned out that you really carried a lot." Suzuko really didn't expect that behind Liu Lili's seemingly glamorous life, there was also unknown troubles hidden.
"Then you..." Lingzi was about to ask why Liu Lili was not married yet, but Liu Lili's phone rang.
"Mom, I understand. I'll go back soon. I'll take a friend to see you, yes, okay."
Liu Lili hung up the phone and sighed.
"It's Aunt Zhang? You haven't gone back all night, so she's worried? Is Uncle Liu in good health?"
"It's a long story. My dad is still in prison now. When you arrive at my house later, you pretend you don't know. Don't mention this."
