Old Lady Li took out a cloth bag from the closet and said to Li Jinfeng, "I had some free time, so I made two cheongsams. One is for you, and the other is for your daughter to be beautiful."
Li Jinfeng was flattered. "Give it to me... and Meimei?"
"Yes, in our Li family, we all have great-grandchildren. We wanted a great-granddaughter, but we don't have one. However, a great-granddaughter or a great-great-granddaughter is no different.
Why don’t you take a look at the clothes first to see if you like them, or take them back and try them on. If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, I’ll help you alter it…” Old Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed when she spoke, as if she was ashamed.
Li Jinfeng took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw the cheongsam inside.
One is light blue and has several small orchids embroidered below the shoulders.
One is light pink and embroidered with peach blossoms.
All the embroidery was handmade by Old Lady Li. Li Jinfeng touched the material and found it very soft, probably silk.
"Grandma, this cloth..."
"I've saved these for years, but I was always reluctant to use them. Later, I made them into clothes, and I found that I didn't feel bad about it anymore. I should have made them earlier! I made them according to my deepest feelings. If you don't think so..."
Old Mrs. Li said it twice in a row, if Li Jinfeng doesn’t like it.
But in fact, Li Jinfeng likes it very much.
"Grandma, I like it very much."
In Li Jinfeng's opinion, the two cheongsams are finely crafted and hand-embroidered.
Embroidery is a national treasure. Some people still understand it now, but in the future, even fewer people will understand it.
In her heart, every cheongsam she wears is a piece of clothing she has to wear, and it is an honor to be able to wear a handmade cheongsam.
Old Mrs. Li looked at Li Jinfeng seriously and found that she was not just perfunctory but really liked her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she continued, "Feng girl, grandma wants to say sorry to you! For so many years, I haven't looked at you straight in the eye, nor have I been kind to you.
You were so young, yet you were asked to do so much work. After living for most of my life, and now that half of my body is in the earth, I still remember the way you worked back then.
Old Mrs. Li felt guilty.
This guilt became more and more serious after Li Fuman fell ill.
The things I dream about are all from more than 20 years ago.
Old Mrs. Li lowered her head, her skinny feet pressed together.
She didn't know what to do to make up for the mistake she made that year.
I don’t know if what I’m doing now can be undone.
Just as Old Mrs. Li said, it has been more than 20 years since the incident.
If there was any hatred, it would have dispersed long ago.
As for forgiveness... these things were not her experiences, so she couldn't say forgiveness!
Li Jinfeng held Mrs. Li’s hand and said, “Grandma, although I can’t say that those hard times trained me and made me stronger, I want to thank those hard times, this is a lie.
But I can tell you that I no longer clearly remember what happened back then. If even I can't remember clearly, shouldn't you also learn to forget and let go? Sometimes, the one who truly can't forget isn't the person themselves, but the other people who experienced it!
You have become very good now, and you are the grandma I remember. If you can keep up the good work and be happy with yourself, I think everything will get better and better!"
Li Jinfeng just asked Old Lady Li to learn to forget.
As for those who had been hurt by the old lady, Li Jinfeng had no idea whether they chose to forgive or hate her.
Mrs. Li was instantly exhausted and held Li Jinfeng's hand, "Feng girl, thank you... thank you!"
