The next morning, Zhuang Sheng arrived from the army and told Liu Ruonan that he had a mission and would be out of town for a few days. He felt guilty that Liu Ruonan was so busy and he couldn't lend a hand, and that he had to be transferred to a distant place to carry out a mission.
Liu Ruonan comforted Zhuang Sheng and told him not to worry, as Chen Lei was there and there would be no problem.
"So when are you planning to open?" Zhuang Sheng asked. He was actually looking forward to attending Liu Ruonan's opening ceremony. After all, this was his wife's first business. He would feel a bit regretful if he couldn't attend.
"No matter what, I have to wait until you come back!" Liu Ruonan said with a smile. Zhuang Sheng was the most important person in her life. She wanted Zhuang Sheng to be part of every wonderful moment after her rebirth, so that her rebirth and the effort she put into being with Zhuang Sheng would not be in vain.
Zhuang Sheng's originally serious face suddenly showed a smile. He was very pleased with Liu Ruonan's answer. He gently stroked Liu Ruonan's hair, his eyes full of pampering.
"Oh, right, Brother Zhuang Sheng. Fulu seemed a little unhappy yesterday afternoon and didn't say much the entire day. The driver from Guangdong was here, and I didn't feel comfortable asking him. If you have a chance, give him a call and have a chat. Try to enlighten him!"
Liu Ruonan thought back to Fulu's behavior the entire afternoon yesterday. He was a chatterbox, always able to chat wherever he went, but last night, he seemed completely out of character.
Moreover, he seemed to be in a very low mood, with a melancholy look in his eyes.
Although Liu Ruonan didn't know what happened, such a blessing made people look a little worried.
Zhuang Sheng frowned slightly after hearing what Liu Ruonan said, and said with a hint of disbelief, "Is there ever a time when he's unhappy?"
"I guess he's worried about his future. Lately, he's been asking me what kind of life is truly wonderful. He said that he used to think his life was wonderful, but gradually, he felt like he hadn't lived it to its fullest in the past twenty years."
Zhuang Sheng nodded, as if he understood Liu Ruonan's meaning.
"Actually, this is a good thing. At least he's starting to think about his own life, instead of relying on his father and living a life of idleness and waiting to die."
"Just eating and waiting to die, that's a bit too much." Liu Ruonan lowered her voice, fearing that she would wake up Gao Shanshan.
Unexpectedly, Gao Shanshan suddenly sat up, looked at Liu Ruonan and said, "That's not too much! He's more than just living a life of idleness and waiting to die! His life is simply meaningless!"
Zhuang Sheng turned to look at Gao Shanshan. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, then looked at Liu Ruonan with innocent eyes and said so.
Liu Ruonan burst out laughing. Gao Shanshan looked so cute when she just woke up. She walked up to Gao Shanshan, hugged her shoulders, and teased her, "Little girl, do you understand the meaning of life?"
"Of course I understand. We must strive to live a colorful life. Although, I don't know what your world is like as adults, my world is to study hard, have a promising future, and let my family live a good life.
If I had the chance, I would go see the beautiful mountains and rivers of my motherland, I would go to Antarctica to see penguins, and to the Arctic to see polar bears. I would travel to every corner of the world. There are so many beautiful places in the world waiting for us to explore. However, Brother Fulu thinks he has an amazing father who spends all his time in debauchery. What else is this but living a life of idleness and waiting to die?
I support my brother, he is absolutely right.”
Liu Ruonan was stunned, and she and Zhuang Sheng exchanged glances. They had never imagined that this twelve-year-old girl could be so eloquent, spouting off such a long and rambling speech. If Fulu had heard this, he would probably be even more upset.
A twelve-year-old girl knows that she has to rely on her own efforts to make her life more colorful. Then why doesn’t Fulu, who has lived for twenty-five years, have such awareness?
These twenty-five years have truly been lived in vain!
If there was a tape recorder at home, Liu Ruonan felt that she should really record what Gao Shanshan had just said and play it for Fulu.
Liu Ruonan pinched Gao Shanshan's nose lovingly and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have great ambitions. I support you."
Gao Shanshan's serious expression disappeared, replaced by a sense of worry. She sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Alas! This can only be a dream! The dream is too far away."
Liu Ruonan remembered a sentence often said in the new century: ideals are too full, reality is too skinny!
Yes! In that materialistic age, the lives of most people weren't particularly ideal. They were busy all day just trying to make a living, rushing around just to stay alive.
Liu Ruonan thought that she absolutely did not want her family to suffer such a hardship. Even if she did not have a particularly wealthy life, she still had to enjoy it when she could. Life was really too short.
"It's not far." Liu Ruonan hugged Gao Shanshan's shoulders and comforted her, "Shanshan, if you can still rank in the top three in the new semester exam, I'll take you to Penglai, okay?"
Penglai Fairyland is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, like a dream.
When Gao Shanshan heard Liu Ruonan say this, her eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"real."
Gao Shanshan pouted, lowered her head, and then shook her head.
"No."
