Chapter 39 Chapter 39 I dreamed that my father came to see us...
Xia Li was wearing loose and comfortable home clothes, so she was not afraid of anything. She took advantage of Jiang Zai's slow movements, jumped off the bed, and grabbed him from behind.
"I caught you!" Charlie was very excited.
The sound representing ginger is a child's sharp scream.
"ah!!!"
Although the sound was loud and clear, it was not the kind of scream that came from being completely frightened. There was a tremor at the end of the sound, and finally the tremor gradually turned into a series of "hahaha" and "giggle" laughter.
This is Charlie sitting on the ground holding Ginger and tickling him.
Jiangzai seemed to have inherited this trait from Jiangdong. He was very ticklish. When Xia Li tickled him, he moved around on the ground in her arms, kicking his little feet in children's slippers on the floor, trying to escape from his mother's "clutches".
"Hahaha"
"Chuckle, chuckle"
Laughter and shouting were heard everywhere.
Charlie was feeling happy and was just teasing him, so how could she let go just because he struggled? The two of them were in a mess of joy.
Xia Pingzhi was in the yard weeding the vegetables she'd planted. If there were too many weeds around them, they wouldn't thrive. Although she'd been digging them up to eat, she hadn't done much tidying. She was planning to water the fields once the sun went down that afternoon.
It's almost ten o'clock now, and the sun is very strong. If I water the vegetables now, they will die.
Looking at the vegetables in the garden, I wondered what else was in the kitchen and what to cook for lunch.
I guess we have to start cooking at 11:30 and cook the meal so that we can eat it at 12 o'clock.
She thought that Xia Li was resting today, and she was busy yesterday and didn't rest, so she didn't call her after getting up today.
I thought I'd let her sleep a little longer. It wasn't like she was in someone else's house, and there wasn't any work she had to do.
Jiangzai woke up early and didn't want to stay in bed, so she and Jiangzai got up one after another. She went to cook, and the child watched TV in the living room alone.
She knew Jiangzai had the TV on, but the volume sounded a bit too loud from the kitchen, so she went out to talk to Jiangzai and asked him to turn it down. The child was very obedient, and when he heard that it would disturb his mother, he kept asking himself if the volume was too loud, and finally ran to Xia Li's door to listen, and only then did he think it was okay.
Standing here and thinking about it now, she felt that this child was really a good child. The child had such a good nature, and it would be sure to be good if he grew up. This kind of child made people want to love him sincerely.
Her life now truly felt like a dream, from the moment her husband left her forever to the moment her niece, Charlie, came to her side, bringing her companionship and comfort. Now, there was a child in the family who was related to both her and Charlie, allowing her to enjoy the rare joy of family life at a time when she should have had nothing.
Xia Pingzhi deeply felt that such a life was a gift from God to her, and she was sincerely grateful.
Just as her thoughts were drifting further and further away, she was suddenly startled by a loud shout.
It was Jiangzai's voice.
Oh no, what’s wrong with this child? Why is he screaming so loudly?
After hearing this, she quickly dropped the watering hose in her hand and ran to the living room.
After dinner, she had let the child play in the living room. She had gone in twice, and the child was very well behaved, sitting on the mat on the floor. He wasn't the kind of child who didn't know anything, and since they were in her own home, she had nothing to worry about, so she went to do other things.
The child's screams were so loud that her heart was pounding with fear. As soon as her feet stepped onto the stairs, she felt something strange.
It's that strange laugh behind this.
It was really weird, like smiling but not smiling, like shouting but not shouting.
There was no one in the living room, so she went back to her room to check, but there was no one there either.
When I opened Charlie's door, I found the mother and son laughing and playing without any restraint on the floor.
Xia Pingzhi held the door with her hand, looked at the mother and son helplessly, smiled, and then closed the door again without saying anything.
She continued to busy herself with her own business, and the water in the vegetable garden was still flowing.
Jiangzai is only a four-year-old boy after all. No matter how well-behaved he is, he is still very strong.
Charlie hugged him tightly, able to tickle him thanks to her little advantage as an adult. She felt that she was already struggling, and if Jiangzi struggled any more, she really wouldn't be able to hold him.
I don't know where the child's strength comes from.
Finally, she gasped and said, "No more playing, no more playing."
I was so tired and sweaty, so I made my point clear first to prevent the child from scratching me again later.
In fact, she couldn't bear it either.
Jiang Zai was a little reluctant, and looked at Xia Li with a little bit of grievance. It was unclear whether he felt that he was bullied by his mother, or that he did not bully her back.
Charlie saw him slumped on her legs. She touched his forehead, which was damp with sweat, and smoothed his hair back to make it smooth.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Jiangzai blinked his eyes, looked up at Xia Li, and suddenly said, "Mom, I dreamed about Dad last night."
"Huh?" Charlie paused. "Did Jiangzai dream about his father? What did his father do?"
She continued the conversation following the child's words.
"I dreamed that my father came to see us." Jiang Zai's expression was very excited. His father was the person he missed the most, and so was his grandmother. He thought about them every day. However, he only thought about them secretly and did not tell his mother or aunt.
But he really dreamed of his father last night, and the dream lasted for a long time. He dreamed that his father said he missed him very much, and Jiangzai felt very happy.
He suddenly remembered it just now, so he wanted to tell his mother.
Jiangzai doesn't understand what's going on between his parents yet. But he knows his dad has been looking for his mom all along, and he even taught him to recognize her from photos. He wonders how happy his dad will be if he sees her. And he found his mom first, even before his dad did. He can tell his dad he found his mom first, and he'll be so awesome.
As Xia Li listened to Jiang Zai talking about how his father took him out to play and gave him delicious food in his dream, her hands moved slowly.
She listened very carefully and occasionally agreed when Jiang Zai spoke.
Xia Li didn't know whether the things the child said were really what she dreamed about or were based on her imagination. After all, he was just a young child, and she still needed to understand some of the messy sentences.
Maybe Jiang Zai really missed Jiang Dong. How could he not miss his father, whom he had lived with for four years?
But her poor ginger boy didn’t know that he wouldn’t be able to see his father for a year or two.
Maybe Jiangzai will know this cruel truth only when he grows up and becomes sensible.
She only hoped that at that time, the child would know that he would not be so sad in the future.
After listening to Jiangzai's childish talk, Xia Li also told him: "Jiangzai, do you know what it means to dream about someone?" At the child's curious urging, she continued: "It means that person is also thinking about you. So, when Jiangzai dreams about his father at night, his father must be thinking about Jiangzai too. Then his father will dream about Jiangzai too, okay?"
Jiangzai's eyes immediately lit up, and he became lively and animated. He confirmed with Xia Li, "Really?"
Charlie nodded as if to assure her.
"Of course it's true. How could Mom lie to Jiang Cub?"
Jiang Dong arrived in Guangcheng a day later.
Wang Changlin's truck was not heading towards the urban area of Guangzhou. He was going to the suburbs.
Jiang Dong refused to bother him any further, so he got out of the car. He wanted to treat Wang Changlin to another meal and drinks, but Wang Changlin refused to eat anything and told Jiang Dong to treat him back next time.
After several invitations, the other party still refused, so Jiang Dong gave up.
He felt that the other party was worried that he had come here from afar and might have encountered something, and that no matter how much money he had, it would not be enough when he was away from home.
Jiang Dong appreciated the kindness and decided to make this friend. He would find an opportunity to have dinner together in the future.
We left each other's addresses and said goodbye.
He thought a lot along the way.
As they got closer to Guangcheng and the weather became hotter, he actually became more irritable than before.
He didn't know Charlie's exact address. The only information he had was the approximate location information Charlie had left for his father. He didn't know anything more specific.
But this is enough. If I can't find him in one day, I will look for him for two days. If I can't find him in two days, I will look for him for a week.
You will always find it.
When the time comes, he will find someone to ask why he left before.
After so many years, perhaps he no longer had any feelings for her. The motivation that kept him searching might be that he was unwilling to give up and wanted a reason.
By the time he gets the answer, he might not care anymore.
He will leave here and live a good life with his children.
It has nothing to do with her anymore.
He had never been to this big southern city, and he didn't know why Xia Li chose to come here. Was it because it was far enough away?
The unexpected prosperity makes it feel new and large. Of course, there are also many people, both good and bad.
In the three days since Jiang Dong arrived in Guangcheng, he has encountered two incidents.
The hotel he stayed in was simple, a large bunk bed type that only cost one dollar a day. Jiang Dong was just looking for a place to sleep for the night, so he went out with his luggage during the day.
His clothes were hardly fashionable, and even after days of travel, they were hardly clean. His clothes and shoes were both gray-black, a color that resists staining and is not easily visible.
Taking a hot shower was impossible, so he would wait until he got home at night and use the cold water in the empty toilet. Even so, he would have to take his bag with him when he showered, leaving it where he could see it.
There are many people and things like that in places like this, and the quality of the people is mixed. If something is lost, it will be difficult to find it again.
Jiang Dong has also seen petty thieves on the street, and even people snatching bags on motorcycles.
However, he had never encountered a robbery in the middle of the night.
Moreover, it was extremely unsightly for them to rob a grown man like him.
