On the morning of Friday, my mother took Xia Zhi to the street and bought a lot of things as she said yesterday. Originally, Xia Meng didn’t come, but my mother said that if Xia Meng didn’t come with her, she would have breakfast.
She couldn't eat anymore, so he didn't care what she said, "It's okay if she doesn't eat breakfast" and so on. He took her out too. As for dad... he went to work and he really had no interest in shopping.
.So Xia Zhi thought that what was supposed to be a shopping trip for two people turned into three people.
It feels okay.
Xia Zhi and Xia Meng, who was sleepy, were waiting for her mother to pay the bill. Even after breakfast, Xia Meng looked lackluster. She stayed up too late, but she wouldn't listen to her.
, I really hope she treats herself better.
However, it is quite strange to see these three people walking on the street: a middle-aged woman who should be at work but is not, two teenagers and girls who are supposed to be in school but are not, a vagrant and a delinquent boy.
It seemed a little too high-end. People often paid attention to him, and Xia Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.
But the other two people didn't think so. One was walking in front while thinking about where to go shopping, and the other was walking behind as if he hadn't woken up. He had to be held by Xia Zhi. Fortunately, he wanted to go.
The place was not far away, and Xia Zhi saw that although it was not the only one, it could be regarded as the largest clothing store in this small county - the first floor was a supermarket, the second floor was a clothing mall, and the two were different companies.
like.
The three of them walked in and walked out together within an hour. Mom pulled Xia Meng and walked in front. Xia Zhi was covered with bags. At first glance, she thought these were Xia Zhi's clothes.
But this is not the case. In the first ten minutes after entering, the two female relatives were indeed focused on Xia Zhi's clothes, but after Xia Zhi bought a long-sleeved one and a short-sleeved one, the theme changed.
In the remaining fifty minutes, Xia Zhi sat on the small sofa in the shopping mall for people to rest, while the two women went to look at the clothes themselves. So the small sofas or chairs in the clothing shopping mall turned out to be
Is it for men? This is too true.
Xia Zhi's clothes were folded and put into a small paper bag. Compared with the other seven or eight thick paper bags on her body, they were completely inconspicuous. Maybe they came to buy clothes for themselves today as a fake, and they wanted to buy clothes for themselves.
It's true - someone thought to himself as he walked.
Next, I went to the supermarket to browse. Because there were too many things and I didn’t want to stuff them into the lockers. It was troublesome, so Xia Zhi simply left all the shopping to Xia Meng and her mother. Anyway, I didn’t do much.
After choosing, they waited outside the supermarket for about half an hour. The two of them walked out with a plastic bag in each hand.
"We've bought all the food for the road. Think about it and think about what else you need. We're already here, so we just stopped by to buy it."
"No, there's enough for what I need over there. I can go over there and do some cleaning and it'll be fine. I'll just go over there and buy the food and cook it myself. I'll have enough to eat on the way."
"Okay, that's it. Let's go back."
Just walking home with a bunch of things, Xia Zhi walked behind, Xia Meng and her mother walked in front. Xia Meng seemed to be more energetic and didn't want to sleep so much.
"By the way, do you want to eat poached eggs? I haven't done that for a long time."
Xia Zhi almost threw all the clothes in his hands to the ground: "No, no. I don't like eating eggs."
"Why are you still so picky after so long?" Mom glanced at Xia Zhi dissatisfied, but didn't say anything. Although eggs have certain nutritional value, they are not irreplaceable, and there is no need to be so tough.
Require.
Xia Zhi felt the "good job" look from Xia Meng next to him and smiled bitterly.
Mom is still the same as before, always nagging, thinking of whatever she sees, and then asking Xia Zhi if she wants to buy it, but Xia Zhi just refuses again and again. Mom is not annoyed, nor does she feel
I was impatient and kept repeating it.
"Xia Zhi, you..." The tone of the mother who has been saying this has changed. She doesn't know how to describe it. What she insists on saying seems to give people a very lonely feeling: "...you must
Isn’t it possible to study abroad?”
"What should I say now?" Xia Zhi said pretending to be relaxed. A long time ago, he had also considered this issue - Do I have to study abroad? But that is indeed the best choice, no matter what it is.
For myself and my family, this is the right answer after thinking about it over and over again.
However, this will still have an impact on people. Whether it is the closest family member or a good friend, it does not seem like a good thing to leave so suddenly. However, it is more terrifying than being alone, and more terrifying than having difficulties.
Things are abandoned halfway.
If you know that you can't persevere but still do it, this is a kind of foolhardy courage; if you don't do it, it can also be regarded as a survival strategy. It is different to do it but not try your best to complete it, and to give up halfway.
--This is a complete failure.
A person always has to accomplish something in his life. Even for a useless person like himself who is useless and cannot even find a goal in life, he still has to accomplish something. Otherwise, his life will be in vain.
, came into this world in vain.
Here, being cared for by my parents and covered by my sister's aura, I can't find anything I can do. Then go to a place where my parents can't take care of me and my sister's aura can't cover it yet, and find what I can do.
What should be done. Although it is also important not to prevent my sister from growing into an unparalleled genius, people are always selfish. They always think of themselves first. They cover themselves up with the skin of "for the good of my sister".
The truth about "failure to escape" is that it is absolutely impossible to succeed here, so I went to find a place where there is still a glimmer of hope. This is the most fundamental reason why I went to Japan.
Because he would be laughed at if he said it, Xia Zhi never said it out loud. But this does not mean that he does not take this matter to heart and has not been shaken to this day.
"I thought you would be happy for me. At this age, your son has gone abroad to study by himself, and is able to take care of himself. He can even send so many gifts to his family that he bought with his own money.
Go back. Let’s not talk about other things. Can any of your colleagues’ children be able to do it?” Xia Zhi smiled.
"Your dad and I don't lack this face."
"But dad is very happy." Xia Zhi sold his dad out without hesitation: "I talked to dad when you were away, and he told me that he showed off to his colleagues that his son was alone here
The fact that he studied abroad made his colleagues envious, and I think he was very happy."
"Your dad is heartless." Mom curled her lips.
"Isn't it nice to be heartless? Just do what makes you happy. Besides, it's not like we can't meet each other. Technology is so advanced now. It only took me less than two days to get home from Japan.
We can see each other at any time as long as we go online, which is very good in this era. It is very peaceful there, nothing bad happens, people I know well are very nice to me, and I am sure that even people I don’t know can
Getting along harmoniously is actually no different than at home."
"If you feel you are still dissatisfied, just imagine what I would be like now if I had not studied abroad. I would hang out in school every day, with good or bad grades, and I would not be able to do anything.
If you can't do anything well, it will make you feel embarrassed and unfulfilled when others mention me. Now, such a thing will never happen, right? To be honest, I think you should feel for me
Just be happy."
"Humph... I haven't made much progress in other aspects, but this mouth has become quite good at talking." My mother snorted softly: "Whatever you want, anyway, you are already living a good life there, and I can't care about you.
.”
Xia Zhi approached with a smile: "Look, you used to show off your little dream to your colleagues, now you can show off to me too? I'm studying abroad, and I went alone."
"You want to compare with your sister, but you're still far behind."
"I just said that I can mention it a little bit. In a few years, I can show off to others and say, 'Do you know Xia Meng? She is that super famous scientist. Don't you think I look a bit like her?' or something like that.
, then I feel so happy."
"Hmph. I don't have an older brother who couldn't even get into Tokyo University."
…
Xia Zhi suddenly fell into melancholy and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, Mengmeng, let's not talk about your brother. He can find a good job normally and it is already very good. Tokyo University is a university that even I know is difficult to get into. He will definitely not be able to get into it."
"You are really my mother..." Xia Zhi almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Go back. It's time for you to pack your luggage. Or ask your dad to drive you there tomorrow morning. You can get up a little later."
"No, it's only January now, and the expressway is not free. It's a waste of money and time to go back and forth. I can just take the bus there by myself. Anyway, I have plenty of time."
"Our family is not short of money, and your dad is very busy this weekend."
"Just let him rest at home for a few days. It would be great if you save the money to buy some snacks for Xiao Meng."
"Yeah." This word was said by Xia Meng, and she nodded along with it.
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow I will take you to the street to buy snacks when I have free time."
"...I suddenly don't want to eat snacks anymore."
…
While talking, the three of them walked towards home.
On the other side, in a certain building.
"Manager Xia, why are you so efficient today? Is it the unfinished work yesterday?"
"Huh? Of course not. My son, the one I have been telling you about studying in Japan, will go back to school tomorrow. I finished my work this morning and asked for leave to rest in the afternoon.
If you have anything, please tell me quickly, or wait until I come over to work overtime tomorrow."
"Back to school? Your son has come back from vacation?"
"I've been back a long time ago. School vacation times abroad are different from those here."
"Then you're still sitting here? If you want me, I'll just take the whole day off."
"Hey, there is still work to be done, let me tell you..."
