At the train station, Gong Yu noticed that Li Shujie's expression looked a little strange.
Although Li Shujie's skin color is yellowish, it has a healthy rosy complexion and his eyes sparkle with fire, always giving people a feeling of vitality.
But this time, Li Shujie's face was ochre-colored and his eyes were dull. Even though he was pretending to be energetic, he still gave Gong Yu a dejected feeling, as if he had encountered some difficulties in life.
There were people around just now, so Gong Yu didn't ask too many questions.
Now that there were only the two of them left, Gong Yu asked vaguely.
As expected, Li Shujie's strange behavior was related to his return to his hometown this time.
Gong Yu did not rush Li Shujie, but let Li Shujie calm down slowly.
After taking a few deep breaths, Li Shujie finally calmed down a little, but as soon as he opened his mouth, tears couldn't help but burst out, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled and poured out.
"My mother...died."
Gong Yu silently took out a tissue and handed it to Li Shujie.
"Thanks."
Li Shujie took the tissue and continued with a sob, "In the past three years, Jinbaoxuan's business has been booming. Zhang Tieyun has never given me a day off, so I haven't been home for three years."
"I sent money home and exchanged letters with my family regularly, but..."
"But a year ago, my mother suddenly collapsed in the field while doing farm work. When she was taken to the hospital, she was already dead."
"It's a myocardial infarction."
"The medical facilities at the village clinic are too basic, and the nearest hospital is a long way off, so..."
Speaking of this, Li Shujie's heart was filled with regret.
When he returned home this time, he did not see his mother, but only saw her tablet. His father also seemed to have aged ten years. He was forty years old and his hair was already gray.
Who would have thought that when you leave home and return, everything and everyone has changed?
"If I had been able to go home once a year... If I had been able to bring my parents to Fengling County earlier, then... my mother wouldn't have died due to delayed medical treatment..."
The more Li Shujie spoke, the more he cried.
He was like a carefree child, venting his emotions in front of Gong Yu.
At this moment, all he needed was someone to talk to.
His father had been suffering after losing his mother. He could not show any vulnerability in front of his father and had to pretend to be strong.
He vented his feelings countless times, but could only bury his deep sadness in his heart.
His mother's face was still clearly imprinted in his mind, but he would never be able to see her again. He could only face the cold grave and repent in secret.
"Xiao Yu, I really envy you. When something happened at home, you were able to shoulder the burden of the family and walk out of the haze with your parents' love."
Every time Li Shujie sees Gong Shijie and his wife smiling happily, he thinks of his own parents.
He is very regretful.
Why not be able to provide your parents with a comfortable life earlier?
Once, when he read the sentence "A son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there", he did not feel much. He always felt that his parents were still young and they still had a lot of time.
However, you never know when an accident will occur and take away your pre-planned life.
"Xiao Yu, you know what? I bought a lot of things when I went back this time. Not only did I buy things for my family, I also bought a lot of things for the village to bring back, just to make my parents proud."
