After Ji Leng had a long talk with Chang Sheng, he returned home two days later. Before leaving, he brought his son to Chang Sheng.
"Be obedient at Uncle Chang's house." Ji Leng warned his son. "You are not allowed to be naughty or bully Brother Chang. You must complete your homework on time, practice well during training, and remember to memorize words every day..."
Ji Ming kept nodding his head as he listened.
After his father finished admonishing him, he said: "I know everything, Dad."
"It's good that you all know that I may go back for a longer time this time. You should stay here for a longer time and don't cause trouble to Uncle Chang's family."
Ji Ming obviously knew everything, but he still nodded: "I won't, Dad."
Chang Sheng was watching the father and son say goodbye.
He was very interested and found that Ji Ming was more mature than his peers.
Perhaps it was 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. He came all the way to this unfamiliar place. These experiences made him mature quickly.
All in all, he is more mature and stable than most of his peers.
After Ji Leng finished instructing his son, he stood up and looked at Chang Sheng: "I will trouble you a lot during this period, Old Chang..."
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Anyway, it is my purpose to help Xiao Ming grow up."
Then he handed an envelope to Ji Leng.
"What's this?"
Ji Leng took the envelope, but it was bulging to the touch. He had an idea.
Sure enough, Chang Sheng later confirmed his thoughts: "I'll give your mother a little thought."
"How can this be done?" Ji Leng was shocked and quickly stuffed the envelope back. But Chang Sheng was given to him, how could he take it back?
Of course it was blocked.
"How can I ask for this money from you..." Ji Leng was also anxious. He felt that he would not be rewarded for his efforts. Moreover, his mother was injured in a fall, and it had nothing to do with Chang Sheng. Why should Chang Sheng give him money?
"Why can't you ask for my money?" Chang Sheng said. "Your mother worked hard to raise you, but when she needed you, you were not by her side. Who caused all this?
It's me, Lao Ji. It's me who made you stay away from home and come to Italy with just one word. It's me who made it impossible for you to be filial to your mother. This money is not your salary, nor is it a favor given to you, but
Consider it my sincere money to apologize to your mother. So you must accept this money."
When Ji Leng heard what Chang Sheng said, his lips twitched, but in the end he said nothing and silently withdrew the hand that handed him the envelope.
In fact, he also knew that he needed a lot of money now, because his mother was injured in a fall and was hospitalized, and money was needed for treatment and surgery.
And during the more than a year he spent in Italy, he actually had no savings.
He relied entirely on his wife's income to pay for the elderly man's treatment. As a man, he felt guilty.
He thought Chang Sheng must have used this as an excuse to support him after learning about his predicament.
he……
He felt that he could not refuse the money. From the moment he got the money, he could not refuse it. If he wanted to return it, it was just a show.
But this will make him feel that he owes a bigger and more favor...
Now he wants to do well what Chang Sheng has assigned to him.
Only in this way will he feel that his conscience will feel a little more at ease.
Ji Ming had been watching from the side. 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 let Uncle Chang down, dad."
Ji sneered and nodded, standing up this time to say 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."
As he spoke, he turned around, but just after he turned around, he found that Ji Ming did not turn around with him.
Then he lowered his head to look.
Ji Ming still maintained the posture of looking at his father, standing there without moving.
Only then did he remember that Ji Ming was different from him. He was only a ten-year-old child.
A ten-year-old child has to say goodbye to his relatives and live alone here. Although he will live with him and although he will treat him like a son, he will not have a real relative around him.
When his father is gone and his only relative is gone, how will a ten-year-old child react?
Naturally, I feel reluctant and sad.
So Chang Sheng didn't rush him, and just stood behind him, looking at Ji Ming's small back.
He saw Ji Ming raise his hand to wipe his eyes, but only this time.
Then he turned around and saw Chang Sheng.
"I'm fine, Uncle Chang." He said obediently. Although his eyes were still red, he didn't burst into tears as Chang Sheng imagined. A ten-year-old child showed a behavior that was inconsistent with his age.
Mature and behave 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 was over one year old, seemed the happiest. When he saw Ji Ming, he would reach out for Ji Ming to hug him, and the Du family laughed.
Everyone's laughter made Ji Ming feel somewhat like the warmth of home.
But when he slept alone in the guest room at night, he still felt an uncontrollable loneliness.
He suddenly missed his home in Shanghai, China, his father, his mother whom he had not seen for a long time, and his grandmother who had taken care of him since he was a child...
He even thought of the elementary school he went to and the friends there.
All the scenes in China appeared in his mind. When he closed his eyes, he could only see these scenes.
Then he started to cry, and the more he cried, the sadder he became. 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 to worry Uncle Chang.
So he covered himself in the quilt and cried secretly.
The tears that had not been left behind at the airport flowed freely here and completely wet his pillow.
※※※
It was only when Chang Sheng saw Ji Ming's eyes were red and swollen during breakfast the next day that he realized that he must have cried last night.
Although he is stronger than many adults, he is still a ten-year-old child after all, and he also has a weak side.
He didn't immediately ask Ji Ming at the family breakfast table.
Because he cried last night, but he didn't hear anything.
This shows that Ji Ming is a very strong child and he has his own self-esteem.
He didn't want others to know that he was crying. Maybe Ji Leng would instill in him the idea that "a man will not shed tears easily"...
So Chang Sheng just glanced at Ji Ming and didn't say anything.
He only asked about Ji Ming's red eyes when he was driving Ji Ming to school.
"You didn't 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 saw your eyes are all red. How could it be like this if you were well rested?" Chang Sheng said with a smile.
Then he didn't hear Ji Ming's answer.
Chang Sheng continued to ask: "Is it because I miss home? I miss my dad and my mom?"
This time, Ji Ming said "hmm" quietly in the back seat.
"If you miss them, just call them or listen to their voices. But it's a pity that no matter how you think about it now, you can't go back. Do you know why you want to stay, Xiao Ming?" Chang Sheng
I asked while driving.
"Because I want to realize my dream..."
"That's right, Xiao Ming. But to realize your dream, you have to pay a price. This is one of the prices. There has never been anything in this world that can be easily obtained without paying a price. If you buy a bottle of drink, you also need to spend money.
, this is the price. If you want to become a big star, you have to pay more sweat and tears than ordinary children, and even bleed when necessary. When others can play, you have to practice football.
When others are playing with their parents at home, you have to practice basketball continuously. When others can sleep in bed and can't get up, you have to practice basketball... Before you succeed, you can't relax in the slightest. After you succeed, you have to practice basketball.
You can’t relax, because if you don’t work hard, you will become a loser even if you succeed.”
Chang Sheng said, and then he asked: "Do you feel that it is very hard and tiring to wake up from your dream now, and you no longer want to be a big star?"
"No. My father told me all these things, Uncle Chang."
Ji Ming's answer surprised Chang Sheng, and Ji Leng said this to his son...
But Ji Leng told him that it would be easier.
"Well, these are the principles. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do it. I think you should fully feel this now, right? Do you remember what I once said to you, Xiao Ming, just
When you think you 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."
"Yes, that's it. You are climbing the cliff now and working hard 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 is not for yourself, it is for your father.
, you also have to succeed, do you understand?"
Ji Ming said later: "I know, Uncle Chang, I have thought about it all. If I make money, I will never let my father work again, and neither will my mother. Then I will bring them all together,
They don’t have to do anything. I make money to support them!”
Although this ideal is somewhat realistic, it is very real.
When Chang Sheng heard these words coming from the mouth of the ten-year-old Ji Ming, he always felt a little inconsistent, but he did feel the child's filial piety.
So he burst out laughing.
"Then work hard towards this goal!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
