"Uncle!" Meng Lang was attracted by the voice and saw Xiao Yu running up the hillside panting.
"Xiaoyu, why did you come back alone?" Meng Lang smiled and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
"Sister Weiwei said she was going to buy some food and come back to make lunch."
Xiaoyu sat next to Meng Lang and saw the book in his hand.
"The Distant Savior"?
"Uncle, what are you reading?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"Oh, this is a very thought-provoking literary work.
The book covers topics such as life, religion, law, philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics, and financial stocks.
The deep philosophy revealed in the metaphor can greatly enhance a person's understanding of his or her own life.
More importantly, the biographies of every character in the story are valuable and worth pondering, summarizing and learning, which is breathtaking."
Meng Lang stuffed the book back into his pocket naturally and said with a smile.
"Wow~" Xiaoyu looked at Meng Lang with admiring eyes.
"My sister said that uncle is a very powerful person. It is true. Can uncle understand such a profound book?"
Oh hehe~
Generally speaking, I mainly wrote it myself, and it has a strong sense of immersion.
"Xiaoyu, your sister...really said that about me?" Meng Lang asked in a low voice.
"Yes! My sister also said that apart from some flaws in the relationship between men and women, my uncle is a strange person!"
Meng Lang's face darkened.
"What does it mean that there are some flaws in the relationship between men and women? I have been clean and tidy for more than 20 years, and there is no basis for it. Your sister is slandering! Fortunately, she is still a lawyer. I will sue her later!"
Xiao Yu covered her mouth and snickered. When Meng Lang glared at her, she stuck out her tongue and said.
"Then uncle, you must have done something to misunderstand my sister."
Misunderstand?
The bus incident, the pinhole camera incident, the confession recording incident, the Lu Kexin incident in the bar...
Well, since I met your sister, it seems that there have been no misunderstandings?
This friendship is so rough...
"By the way, Xiaoyu, has your sister ever mentioned to you... that she wants to develop in the capital?" Meng Lang asked suddenly.
This was related to Xiaoyu's subsequent training, so Meng Lang couldn't help but care about it.
"Beijing?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "I've never heard my sister mention it."
She hugged her knees and looked at the sea of flowers blowing in the breeze below, her eyes dimming a little.
"But...our hometown is indeed in the capital."
Meng Lang didn't notice the change in Xiao Yu's tone, and showed a look of surprise.
"Oh! So you are from the capital city."
Now it makes sense, Lin Haitang should be looking for a job close to home, right?
What is the main reason why employees resign these days?
Either he has a low position, little authority, and heavy responsibility,
Either I have little money, many things to do, or I am far away from home.
"By the way, Qingming Festival is coming soon, will you go back to worship your ancestors?" Meng Lang asked smoothly.
When Xiaoyu heard this, her voice became even lower. "I guess... I won't go back. My parents... divorced a long time ago."
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed something strange about Xiao Yu.
I'm such a fool!
I couldn't help but cursed myself in annoyance.
Xiaoyu has been following her sister since she was a child, and the two of them have never mentioned their parents, so they obviously have something to hide.
It turned out to be a divorce...
"Uh...I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I didn't know..."
"It's okay." Xiaoyu shook her head, then rested her head on her knees.
"Actually, my sister and I do not have the same mother, but half-sisters."
Meng Lang was stunned.
Half-mother? No wonder, no wonder the two sisters are so different in age.
"Our father made a lot of money when my sister was young. Later, he divorced my sister's mother and then married my mother.
My sister followed her father. Although she rarely came home, every time she came back, she would bring me a toy.
It's just that... my father's business later failed, he owed a lot of money to others, and he and his mother quarreled all day long.
One day, I found that my mother suddenly disappeared, and my father started to drink...
My sister had graduated at that time. When she came back one time, she saw my father who was very drunk and me huddled in the corner sleeping, so she took me out.
From then on, I have been following my sister and never seen my father again..."
Meng Lang was silent as he listened, only feeling a little tight in his chest.
As if seeing the emotion in Meng Lang's eyes, Xiaoyu smiled comfortingly.
“Actually, I can barely remember what happened at that time.
On the contrary, I am very happy every day when I am with my sister."
Meng Lang just touched Xiaoyu's head.
A lot of forgetting does not require effort, but those things that are determined to be forgotten are often not forgotten at all...
Some people use their childhood to heal their whole lives, and some people use their whole life to heal their childhood.
Xiaoyu's well-behavedness, her sensibleness, her unusual precocity, and her advantages in the eyes of others are all the marks of an unfortunate childhood...
He opened his mouth, wanting to say some comforting words, but found that the ink in his stomach seemed to have disappeared.
He wanted to slap himself twice.
When comforting myself, I use one set of tricks, but when comforting others, I just want to find a rope and put a set on my own neck!
Xiao Yu looked at Meng Lang and suddenly smiled innocently again.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank uncle!"
"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Meng Lang was confused.
Xiao Yu opened her hands and fell backward on the grass, her eyes extremely bright.
"Thank you uncle for saving me, thank you uncle for helping my sister, thank you uncle for picking me up from school, thank you uncle for complimenting my cooking skills, thank you uncle for taking me to see my sister sing, thank you uncle for taking me to see the sea of flowers... so much!
With sister, uncle, and sister Weiwei, I think Xiaoyu is the happiest person in the world!"
Meng Lang looked at Xiao Yu, who had a happy face, and couldn't help but smile. The gloom just now seemed to be swept away.
Is this considered to be comforted by the little guy?
Xiaoyu suddenly turned to look at Meng Lang.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will repay you in the future!"
Looking at Xiaoyu's unusually serious face, Meng Lang couldn't help but smile, nodded, and answered in the same serious tone.
"Yeah! I'm convinced!"
He touched Xiaoyu's head, looked at the blue sky, and said with a smile.
"Actually, uncle also wants to thank you."
"Huh? Thank me for what?"
“The suffering you suffer, the losses you suffer, the responsibilities you bear, the sins you bear, and the pain you endure will all turn into light in the end, illuminating your future path!
I firmly believe that in the future you will become a great person who can change the world!
This means a lot to me and the whole world!”
"Really? Then how great can I be?" Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled.
Meng Lang thought for a while, then smiled and said to her.
