Jiang Yu felt that time passed too quickly, and he sincerely hoped that this moment could stop.
Jiang Yu bought 50 leek boxes at once just because he wanted to spend more time with his mother and see her more. In fact, he felt that he had only waited for a blink of an eye, and the time he spent with his mother was not enough to satisfy his inner desire.
Chen Si placed the packed chive box in front of the customer, and then she went to pack five cups of soy milk.
"These five cups of soy milk are from me, still warm. Thank you so much for buying so many chive dumplings at once. Please be careful on the road. It's snowing and the roads are slippery, so please be careful."
"Thank you!" Jiang Yu's eyes were full of reluctance, and his low voice trembled slightly.
"I have some pickles here. Would you like some? Like kimchi, pickled beans, pickled radish... I made them all myself. They'd go great with chive dumplings, too."
Jiang Yu was touched, his eyes became moist, and his nose felt sore. "Give me some, thank you!"
"Don't be so polite. You've helped my business, so it's only natural that I give you some side dishes."
Jiang Yu looked at the award certificates on the wall and asked softly, "Your child is really good at studying. Doesn't that worry you?"
Chen Si looked at Zheng Enxi's certificate with satisfaction, a faint smile on her lips, "Not bad, the child has graduated from college and started working, I don't have to worry about him anymore."
Jiang Yu did not give up. With full of expectation, he asked again: "Boss, how many children do you have?"
Without hesitation, Chen Si said, "One!"
It was a very gentle voice, but it was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Jiang Yu's heart. The pain was beyond words for him. His eyes darkened and became dull.
The mother must have forgotten that she had a son. This was a wound she didn't want to touch again. Jiang Yu respected her, endured the pain, and didn't recognize her, so as not to tear her scarred heart.
"Boss lady, I'm leaving now. You're a good person, and you'll definitely be rewarded."
Chen Si's smile deepened, and her eyes narrowed. "Thank you for your kind words. You are a good person, and luck is also on your side. I wish you a safe journey."
Jiang Yu nodded, then looked at his mother deeply, as if he had engraved every frown and smile of his mother deeply in his heart.
With a relieved smile, Jiang Yu walked away towards Xiaoxue.
There was no one in the store, so Chen Si sat down, holding a hot water bottle to keep warm.
The smile on Chen Si's face disappeared, her expression became solemn, and waves of bitterness and sorrow surged in her heart.
Whenever someone asks her how many children she has, she can't help but think of her son.
After not seeing her for 28 years, her son is already 30 years old and should have started a family and a career. He must be great...
Thinking of this, Chen Si's eyes became wet, two lines of hot tears slowly slid down her cheeks, and her heart was filled with helplessness.
If possible, she didn't want to be separated from her son, but she could only pray for her son silently and wish him peace.
Over the years, she rarely watched TV, went online, or listened to the outside world. She lived as if isolated from the world. She didn't want to know every detail of the Jiang family and didn't want to see any news about her son. This way, she might feel better.
After staying here for more than 20 years, she still couldn't let it go.
The pain in her heart will probably never heal in this lifetime. If she doesn't touch it, it won't hurt. It's good to live a simple life like this. At least she has happy times.
In the car, Jiang Yu was eating the chive dumplings made by her mother. She lost control of her emotions and tears came out.
