"Mom, your sister wants to talk to you. Please hurry up. I still have so much to tell you about. My little bird, little turtle, little rabbit, little dog, little flower, little friend, and more..."
Why does Rong Qing feel that his younger brother is a chatterbox?
Jiang Wenshu's hands were trembling slightly as she took the phone. She spoke cautiously and tentatively into the phone:
"Hey, sweetie, I'm your mom."
She finally uttered these few words, which she had been holding in her heart for who knows how long and how much she longed to say. Tears instantly burst out, and she was afraid that Rong Qing would hate her, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from making any sound.
As a result, Han Junjun was still thinking about what he was going to say to his sister later. When he saw his mother crying, he immediately became anxious and frantically went to get some paper, while anxiously shouting:
"Mom, why are you crying? My sister is so kind, she will definitely not make you cry. Don't cry, my sister is so kind, what if she cries when she hears you cry?
Junjun couldn't immediately run to his sister's side to wipe her tears. "Don't cry, mom, otherwise, what will happen if his sister doesn't hear anyone talking to her and hangs up the phone?"
I have to say that the last sentence caught her attention. She took the paper and quickly wiped her tears. She softened her throat and said softly, "I'm sorry, my dear. I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I made you laugh."
Rong Qing didn't expect her emotions to be so strong, and calling her a good baby just now made her heart feel like it was hit by something soft. Perhaps this is the so-called mother-daughter nature driven by blood.
Instead of deliberately rejecting or resisting, I followed my true feelings and softened my attitude a bit:
"It's okay, I don't blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself. Even though you're not by my side, your thoughts are there. Besides, grandma and uncle love and pamper me very much. I grew up well, and that's enough, isn't it?"
Jiang Wenshu felt even more guilty and self-blaming because of her daughter's thoughtfulness, but her heart was still warm, and she restrained her tears:
"It was your mother who was unable to accompany you growing up. The fact that you were able to grow up well is due to your grandmother's selfless dedication, but I didn't have the chance to repay her."
Rong Qing took the opportunity to ask, "Have you ever considered returning to Kyoto?"
After that, the phone was silent for a moment, and then Jiang Wenshu's voice sounded, a little cautious and tentative:
"So... do you want us to go back to Kyoto?"
Rong Qing was not unaware of her cautiousness and tentativeness. In fact, she really felt that it was unnecessary. Strictly speaking, she and Jiang Wenshu were completely independent individuals. As a mother, she did not have to be open-hearted and give up herself for her.
It's good that she has a happy family now. If she really gives up everything for him, revolves around him all day long, and lives without any self, Rong Qing will feel very indebted.
Since he didn't want to feel that kind of indebtedness and didn't want her to feel that way, he said directly:
"Your choice was correct, and I don't blame you. It wasn't you who made the mistake. You were forced into making a painful decision. You shouldn't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes, and you shouldn't feel guilty.
If I had helped you make the decision, I would have hoped that you could be yourself and have a happy life in the future. You see, it’s not what I wanted now, and I’m happy for you.”
After a pause, his tone became a little serious:
"If you feel so guilty about me right now and are always so cautious in your attitude, then I hope we can just stay like this, with an occasional phone call, a cold and distant relationship, and just being the most familiar strangers. That way, we won't feel uncomfortable or stressed."
He took a deep breath and continued:
"If you can maintain a normal attitude and just be Mom, we can get along easily and comfortably. I hope you'll come back to Kyoto. Furthermore, we've just started reform and opening up, inviting countless people to take off. As long as you seize the opportunity, I believe you'll be freer and happier than you were in Hong Kong."
Rong Qing didn't tell her right away that she could expand their business territory. No matter how much she talked before meeting, it would all be empty talk. She just expressed her hope and didn't make a decision for her. After all, the decision-making power still lay with them.
Rong Qing thought for a moment and added:
"You shouldn't trap yourself in a cage of guilt. It won't change anything. Instead, it will block the normal and comfortable relationship between you and me. You will feel powerless, and I will feel uncomfortable and tired. In the end, we will become strangers."
That's true. She is just like that. She won't force herself for anyone. If she foresees discomfort, she will avoid it directly. Otherwise, her life will be too tiring.
They agreed to do whatever they wanted in this life, so she didn't mince words. She hoped this would be helpful to Jiang Wenshu.
Han Junjun had been listening to the conversation between the two with her ears perked up. Before she could digest what Rong Qing had said, she rushed forward and said excitedly into the phone:
"Yes, yes, I want to find my sister. Well, I can really support myself. In addition to giving my sister, I actually still have a little bit left." As he said this, he compared with his index finger and thumb. His little appearance was really cute:
"That's really all I have. My dad says boys don't need to worry too much about the quality of life, as long as they have enough food and clothing. They need to cultivate their character to grow up and become men who can stand tall and do great things."
Suddenly, Rong Qing paused and lowered her voice, thinking it was quiet, and said, "Actually, sister, I want to be a peerless hero who can fly into the sky and hide in the ground. I want to be able to turn rivers and seas upside down, pull dragon tendons, do somersaults in the sky and into the ground, and climb mountains and cross rivers to catch villains..."
