It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when I got home.
"Mom." Si Zhan called Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was standing in front of the refrigerator, checking the ingredients inside, thinking about what breakfast to prepare for her son tomorrow morning. If there was nothing, she would have to let him go out to eat.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Xi took out the frozen beef and put it in the sink to thaw, and made beef vermicelli soup tomorrow morning.
Si Zhan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter the word "death".
Ye Xi probably understood what his son was thinking.
"Mom is sick, she has advanced cervical cancer."
She prepared the ingredients for tomorrow morning and took her son to sit in the living room.
"Son, Mommy doesn't want to hide it from you."
"Mom can't bear to leave you either. Chemotherapy may prolong my life, but I don't want it."
"I can face the disease bravely, and I believe you can respect your mother's choice, right?"
Si Zhan remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
respect?
The result of respect is that his mother will leave earlier.
He doesn't want to.
It was obvious that my mother did not want to continue treatment.
Is late-stage cancer really that scary?
Yes, it's scary.
Si Zhan knew that cancer ranked first in the number of people who died in the world each year.
Close to 10 million.
Now, his mother is about to become one of these millions of people.
"I will give custody of you to your brother."
Ye Xi felt it necessary to explain things clearly to his son.
"The reason why I don't let you stay with your grandparents is because..."
She was silent for a moment, then said, "You also have an uncle, and your father left you a generous inheritance. Mom is afraid that they will encroach on your interests."
"Maybe they really love you and won't touch your father's inheritance. But Mom doesn't want to take that risk, and I don't dare to bet on human greed."
"If it's your cousin, it's not a big problem."
"He and Miss Jiang both have the money, so they made this decision based on the comparison."
"Do you believe Mom?"
She naturally did everything she could, and now it all depends on what her son thinks.
If he really wanted to follow his grandparents, Ye Xi would have no choice.
If she were alive, she could still protect her son. If she died, she was worried that the Ye family would gradually ignore her son.
As for the relationship between generations, it also depends on which generation is between them.
Grandson, grandson-in-law.
One word "outside" is enough to explain everything.
No matter how much he is my daughter's own flesh and blood, he is still an outsider after all.
"I believe it." Si Zhan pursed his lips, suppressing the redness in his eyes and preventing the tears from rolling down.
Ye Xi hugged him and said, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of human life. Mom will die sooner or later, but my Zhan Zhan must live safely, healthily and happily."
At this moment, Si Zhan seemed to grow up in an instant.
**
As the end of the year approaches, most people start to get busy.
Students are preparing for exams, and working people are busy with their year-end business sprint.
All stores are also preparing to launch new products and organize various promotional activities.
As time passed, Jiang Li suddenly received a call.
Invitation call for class reunion.
He wanted to refuse, but the other party kept talking too much, so Jiang Li had no choice but to agree.
"Going out?"
Seeing Jiang Li, Si Ming asked from the second floor.
Looking up, I saw Si Ming standing on the second-floor terrace, "Yeah, class reunion."
Si Ming frowned.
Class reunion? What class reunion?
It's almost the end of the year, and only local people should attend the class reunion. Otherwise, it's the peak time for people to return home for the Chinese New Year, and no one would stay to attend the class reunion.
In this case, it is not easy to organize students from middle schools, high schools, and universities since they come from all over the country.
Jiang Li didn't waste any time and waved his hand: "I'm going out."
Seeing this, Si Ming said, "What time does it end? Do you need me to pick you up?"
"No need." Jiang Li said: "I'm driving with my classmates."
Si Ming: “…”
Unfortunately, there is no way to claim sovereignty.
After picking up the person, he got into the car quickly.
Seeing the modifications to the car's interior, Li Qingmeng was shocked: "A shit pot with gold trim."
Jiang Li: "...If you can't speak, just shut up."
That sounds really bad.
Li Qingmeng shrugged, leaned back in the soft and comfortable seat, and felt everything inside.
"This interior modification must have cost at least a million, right?"
This seat, which also has a massage function, definitely can't be cheap.
Jiang Li said: "Not yet."
Not quite, but almost.
Li Qingmeng raised her hand and looked at the manicure she had done, and she became more and more satisfied.
"Jane Xinghe will be attending the class reunion, so I pestered you to accompany me."
When he was in high school, Li Qingmeng pursued Jian Xinghe for a while.
However, this person was only interested in reading books of sages, and he rejected Li Qingmeng in front of the whole class.
It wasn't that the other party was deliberately embarrassing Li Qingmeng. It was because this woman publicly confessed her feelings in front of the whole class.
They just publicly refused.
Jiang Li looked at her with a look of disgust, "Are you still thinking about her?"
"Nonsense," Li Qingmeng said. "Our names are perfect for each other. Qingmeng and Xinghe, we're meant to be together. Besides, I heard that guy got into the Academy of Sciences. Such an outstanding person, isn't it normal for me to be thinking about him?"
Jiang Li and Li Qingmeng have been desk mates for three years. They seldom contact each other, but their relationship has always been very good.
It’s not as good as Chen Suisui, but it’s not much worse.
"Science Academy?"
The other person is the same age as them. He is indeed an outstanding person to enter the Academy of Sciences at this age.
