Wu Xiaotao looked at Chen Hua, because she had always told her younger brother Xiao Wang the same thing, but only her brother believed her. Everyone else had ruthlessly told her that his uncle was dead.
People should look forward and not always think that the dead can come back.
They said they received supplies from others, but in reality, it was just the village chief who helped them a little. Life was hard in the village, so how could they possibly have spare grain to give to them?
"Thank you for saying all this, and thank you for teaching Xiaowang to read. But can I ask you for a favor?"
Shen Hua: "Tell me about it."
If it's something like helping her find her uncle, we can try if we can, but if we can't, we can only apologize.
"Could you please not get too close to Xiaowang in the future? I didn't mean that, but Xiaowang is a very sentimental person. He will be very sad when he parts with people who are deeply in his memory. And you two will leave sooner or later. I'm afraid that he will not be able to get over it for a long time when you leave."
That's very thoughtful; Shen Hua hadn't even considered this.
It seems that I have been kind to others in my life, but I have never really considered others in this way. It's like during that time, I would be kind to you according to my heart, but when it came to parting, I seemed to have no attachment at all. Could it be that I am really a cold-blooded person?
However, she did not regret having such feelings, because in life, people's lifespans are different, and if there is sadness at parting, then his long life will be spent in sadness.
She can stay away, but she won't do things under the guise of doing what's best for others, even if it's genuinely for their benefit. How to proceed should be left to the person involved, to see what their choice is.
“I’ve thought about what you said for a while, but I think whether or not we should distance ourselves is not a decision for the two of us to make, but for Xiaowang to choose. In life, everyone has many passersby. Just like you and him now, you can’t be separated, but what about when you grow up? Won’t you separate? For example, when you each build your own little family, won’t you have to part ways then? If you’re destined to separate, then why stay together in the first place?”
Xiao Tao was a little hesitant to look at Chen Hua, but she still said, "This is different from the one I told you about. By then, we'll all be older and more capable of handling things."
"No, the reason why you are more resilient as you grow up is just because you have grown up, so you force yourself to be more resilient, but in reality, nothing has changed."
"Sister, I know you've always meant well for me, but I also want to make my own choice this time. I knew from the beginning that my older brother and the others would leave, but I cherish this short time together. So, can I learn to write and catch rabbits with them?"
Xiao Wang was standing at the doorway with a basket of grass on his back, and it was unclear how much of their conversation he had overheard.
However, judging from the fact that he was able to say such things, he must have heard all those things about distancing himself from him.
Shen Hua knew he was back when his footsteps were very close, but she was also a little surprised that he was mowing the lawn so fast. However, there were some things he should hear for himself before making a decision.
"Xiao Wang, do you remember how long you cried after your uncle came back?"
"Sister, I remember some of it. I was very sad at the time, but I don't regret having Uncle by my side before that."
Wu Xiaotao's eyes welled up with tears when she heard what he said. She had never imagined that her younger brother had always thought this way.
She doesn't blame her uncle for staying with them before; the only thing she'll blame is herself for not bringing him back. She should have stopped him from going out back then, and then none of this would have happened.
She was awakened by the sound of her uncle's footsteps when he went out. There was more than one person there. She watched him from behind the door, thinking about the good days he had talked about, and didn't go out to stop him, even though it was raining heavily that day.
She thought that if she could really have a full meal this time, then her uncle wouldn't have to work so hard to do chores for others in exchange for a little food.
That was a choice she could never forgive herself for in her entire life.
Because their uncle didn't owe them anything; on the contrary, they owed their uncle a lot.
If it weren't for them, my uncle wouldn't have often gone hungry because he gave them food when he didn't have much to eat. If it weren't for them, my uncle wouldn't have been unable to find a wife even at the age of marriage. If it weren't for them, my uncle wouldn't have become the laughing stock in the village.
Even my uncle's eventual disappearance was because of them. If it weren't for those two burdens, my uncle wouldn't have taken the risk.
Those who went at that time may not have returned.
He always thought that when he grew up, he would ask the village chief what that place was. Then she wanted to find her uncle and bring him back.
Shen Hua noticed the other emotions in her eyes; it seemed that she hadn't finished what she was saying to herself, and that she was hiding something.
At that time, Xiao Wangyu was too young, and he couldn't get any information from Xiao Wang.
"Okay, I respect your choice."
[I feel like I'm here to listen to a lecture, not to watch a live stream.]
[This is so emotional! The live stream gave me back my emotions, gave me back my tears, sob sob, I'm so touched, I really want to cry, I can't hold it in, sob sob.]
[We've run out of tissues.]
[So, did that so-called uncle really leave on his own, or did something really happen to him? I'm really curious.]
[Me too. I recently watched a scary live stream, and it made me think that strange things can happen. Could something strange be happening in Peach Blossom Village too? Otherwise, how could such a beautiful village, with so many peach trees and so many resources, be so poor?]
[If there were one or two very wealthy families, I could blame it on them, claiming that's why the others are starving and living in such dire straits. But no, I checked the entire Peach Blossom Village through live streams, and not a single family was wealthy, including the village chief's. It's so bizarre, absolutely bizarre; science can't explain it.]
[Please stop talking. I'm a little scared. I came here to watch a live stream about everyday life, but you're making it sound like I'm watching a horror show!]
[I have the same feeling; when I'm sitting alone at home, I always feel a chill down my back.]
Don't scare me, I'm easily frightened.
Shen Hua and the others did not stay there for long, as there was not much time at noon and they needed to continue with their afternoon tasks.
Having received so much money, we can't just come here to live and relax, like we're on vacation.
