"Huang Jingyang, our class will have a meeting at 7: 30 pm in the evening at Sixth School. Call a few of your dormitory mates. Oh yeah, don't tell anyone about the meeting. The things we're discussing tonight are a bit special, "our class monitor, Liao Zhuoxin said.
When we arrived at the meeting, I finally understood why the meeting was a bit special. There were 33 people in our class, only one boy didn't come. The boy who didn't come was called Tian Di. I didn't have a deep impression of Tian Di, we didn't interact much, I felt that this person was a bit of a loner, or maybe his family situation wasn't good, he basically worked part-time on the weekends. He also seemed to work outside when he didn't have class. He didn't interact much with his classmates, he was only a nodding acquaintance with me.
I thought that Tian Di went to work part-time again, I didn't think that the meeting was about him.
"Students, everyone might have noticed, there's one more student in our class who didn't come, it's Tian Di from our dorm. He usually works part-time, but he's in the dorm today. I purposely held this meeting behind his back. Tian Di's family situation is a bit special, Tian Di's life is usually very difficult, but he has a lot of backbone, and relied on his own efforts to support everything. Maybe everyone doesn't know much about him. I'll tell you about his situation. When Tian Di was in middle school, his father got seriously ill, their family went bankrupt in order to treat his father, but his father's illness wasn't cured. When Tian Di graduated from high school, his mother couldn't hold on and left, there's no contact with her until now. It was all Tian Di's efforts that supported the family's life. Originally, Tian Di was going to give up on university after graduating from high school, I heard that kind people helped him to go to university. Last week, Tian Di asked for leave to go home and deal with his father's funeral. After coming back, Tian Di's mood wasn't very good. I'm worried that something will happen to him. So I hope that everyone in the class can care about our classmate. In order to prevent anything from happening to Tian Di classmate, no matter where Tian Di goes every day, there must be a classmate by his side … "
Liao Zhuoxin talked about Tian Di's family situation, the entire class sighed. I was also a bit touched.
"Asking everyone to care about their classmate isn't about everyone pooling money, more importantly, it's about caring in life. I feel like I'm not enough as the class monitor. I wasn't able to extend a helping hand to Tian Di in time. "Liao Zhuoxin said guiltily.
Li Chaoyong said loudly, "Monitor, it's not your fault. Actually, everyone had been neglecting their classmates. Normally, they would play on their own. They didn't expect their classmates to have such a difficult time. Actually, I've seen Tian Di running outside every time he doesn't have class. At that time, I didn't care at all. "
The students in the class expressed their guilt one after another and declared that they would strengthen communication with their classmates in the future.
I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to help Tian Di. It seemed that I didn't have much experience in this area. Instead, I seemed to see myself in Tian Di. I didn't know how to deal with my own affairs. Maybe I need more wisdom in my business. I wondered if I could have lasted longer than Tian Di if I had been in his position. I thought my parents had persevered for two years before giving up. But now I realize that maybe they didn't really give up on me. It was just that a family had to live on, and a clan had to continue. It was hard for them to resist. They once used up all of their wealth for me, but didn't hesitate. Tian Di seemed to be the exact opposite of me. He wanted to take care of his father without hesitation. When his mother chose to give up, he still persevered.
When it was my turn to accompany Tian Di, I felt that the dark clouds in his sky had already started to slowly disperse.
"Huang Jingyang, I'm actually a lot better now. You don't have to accompany me anymore. The classmates take turns to accompany me because they're worried that I'll do something stupid. Actually, I won't, "Tian Di forced a smile towards me.
"We're all classmates, I can't just give up without any principles when it's my turn right? You have to give me a chance to complete the task. You also know that I'm not a very proactive person in the class. It's hard to do something, you have to let me complete it properly, "I smiled.
"Huang Jingyang, are your parents healthy?" Tian Di asked.
I momentarily blanked, then nodded.
My reaction surprised Tian Di, and he looked at me weirdly.
"Actually my situation is also pretty hard to explain," I don't know why, but I actually had the thought of telling Tian Di about my family situation.
"Aren't you going to accompany me all day today? Let's talk slowly. I have a lot of experience in this area. Maybe if we talk a bit, it'll help both of us, "Tian Di smiled faintly.
We found a quiet place to sit down, and I told him the secret that had always been buried in my heart.
"Huang Jingyang, do you know? A few days ago, when I heard the news of my father's death, I actually felt a sense of relief. Actually I don't blame my mother, I can understand her pain. It's too hard for her to support our family that will break down sooner or later. When the pressure was all on me, I used to resent her. But when I took on that burden, I didn't hate her anymore. I think that maybe she's relieved now, and can live a bit more easily. My father didn't die of illness, he didn't want to burden me anymore. I know … "Tian Di also said the things that were buried in his heart.
"Huang Jingyang, I know you're different from the other students. You're the most special in our class. I don't know why I have such a feeling. Actually your parents might have their own difficulties. Really, I can feel their pain. Actually after you woke up, they distanced themselves from you, not because they really gave up, but because they felt ashamed to face you. Have you ever thought about communicating with them properly? It's been so many years, why can't you let it go? Blood is thicker than water. I know this feeling the best. My father knew that he couldn't recover, he would rather give up his life than continue to burden me. Actually I would rather give up on my studies and persevere. But now, I don't have the chance, "Tian Di's words sounded a bit contradictory. But I seemed to be able to understand his feelings, his feelings were contradictory.
After chatting with me, Tian Di announced at the class meeting that he had truly recovered, and thanked our classmates for their care. Also because I lent him a sum of money, he won't work part-time anymore, and will use all his time to study. He will strive to be a good doctor after graduation. When he gets a salary, he will slowly pay back the money he borrowed.
Tian Di's words touched me a lot, so I often go to the market. My parents' grocery store is doing well. Maybe because they've been doing it for a long time, they already have a lot of old customers. But I never heard them talk about me again.
"The purchase price has increased so much, how about we raise the price a bit? Otherwise, there won't be any profit at all, "Mom said worriedly.
"How can that be? We're doing business with old customers. Even if they don't say anything about the sudden price increase, they will definitely have an opinion in their hearts. Although the profit is a bit lower, it won't be a loss. Anyway, the store is our family's. If we earn a bit less, then so be it. We'll add some new goods. If we can sell a bit more every day, it's about enough, "Dad said.
"If we earn a bit more money, we can buy a house in the nearby community. That way, Jing Dong's learning environment will be better, "Mom said.
Speaking of this, Dad didn't say anything. The two of them were busy with their own things.
"I'm back," Jing Dong was still as carefree as before.
"Wash your hands, we'll eat immediately," Mom put down the things in her hands and walked into the store.
I watched from afar for a while, then turned and left.
I didn't think that Jing Dong would come to school one day.
When I saw him, he was standing at the door of the dorm. He didn't say a word, just looking at the students coming and going. I stopped at the sight of him.
"Ge?" Jing Dong hadn't seen me for many years. Although we met last time, he didn't recognize me.
"Jing Dong, did something happen?" I asked worriedly.
"It's nothing. I just came to see you. You are my blood related older brother. But I don't know you, "Jing Dong's eyes stared at me.
"It's good that you're fine. Come, let's go to my dorm, "I pulled Jing Dong into the dorm.
Li Chaoyong was very surprised when he saw Jing Dong, "No way, Huang Jingyang, you have a younger brother? How come I've never heard you mention it? "
I ignored Li Chaoyong and let Jing Dong sit in my seat. I went to pour him a glass of water.
"What grade are you in now?" I asked.
"I started one year earlier, so I'm in the first year now," Jing Dong said proudly.
"How are your grades?" I asked.
"I'm always the first in the grade," Jing Dong said.
"Our home isn't far from here, you can come here often during the holidays," I asked Li Chaoyong to go to the store and buy a lot of food.
Jing Dong wasn't interested in those snacks, "Ge, you went to the market so many times, why didn't you meet with mom and dad? We are family, what's there to not talk about? When I was young, I didn't know anything and was afraid that you would steal my love. Ge, I didn't know anything, don't blame mom and dad. You can blame me, but don't blame mom and dad, okay? Do you think they really don't care about you? Actually, I used to hear mom talk about you. Every time I ate something delicious, mom would say that your brother was suffering at home alone. Although they don't talk about you in front of me, I often see mom crying behind my back. Dad didn't say it, but he was really worried about you. That year, something happened in our hometown, so a lot of the villagers ran to Huacheng, mom and dad were really worried. Then they heard that you went back to your hometown, so they couldn't sleep every day. "
"Do mom and dad know that you came here?" I asked.
Jing Dong shook his head, "If they knew, they definitely wouldn't let me come. Actually, they know that you go to school here. Mom actually really wanted to come and see you. Dad said that we can't, he said that you are so rich now, if we came, you might think that we came for your money. Dad said that it's fine as long as you live your life. "
I knew that dad was still holding a grudge about taking the money that I was going to use to build the house. I didn't know what the situation was with mom and dad back then. Maybe they had their reasons, but they should have told me back then.
"Ge, are you really not going to recognize mom and dad?" Jing Dong asked.
"Jing Dong, if you want to come and play in the future, you can come anytime. Gege will come and visit mom and dad one day. It's not time yet. If you run into any trouble, come and find gege. Wherever you want to go, gege will take you. Don't tell mom and dad yet, "I knew that once my mom and dad found out, they might not let Jing Dong come. However, I really didn't think about what to do in the future.
Seeing that I didn't agree to his request, Jing Dong was very sad, he didn't eat anything I bought for him, nor did he want anything I bought for him, he ran back from the Medical University with tears streaming down his face.
Tian Di's state of mind was a lot better now, hearing that my didi came, he asked me to go to a quiet place to chat.
"Huang Jingyang, since your didi came, why don't you use this chance to ease your relationship with your parents? I know that you are very special, different from normal students, but no matter how successful you are, family is indispensable. There are some things that if you don't do now, you will have regrets in the future. I treat you as my best friend, so I accept your help. I don't want a good friend like you to have regrets in the future, "Tian Di persuaded.
"Tian Di, I know you're right. This is a great chance for me to mend my relationship with my parents, maybe there won't be any problems as long as both sides talk it out. But I'm not ready yet. Really, I never thought that there would be such a day. I wasn't prepared at all. Because I don't know what I might face, "I shook my head.
"Some things might be completely different if you start over again," Tian Di shook his head.
"Yeah, if I start over again, I'd rather I wasn't so different. I'd rather be an extremely normal person. " Tian Di's words made me very emotional, a bronze plate suddenly appeared in my hand, I pinched it lightly with my fingers. If I didn't meet this bronze plate back then, what would happen now?
"Ai. If I went back to the past, I-I would have been more sensible, and cared more for my dad, maybe he wouldn't have gotten sick, and mom wouldn't have run away because she couldn't bear the pain. Actually, when my dad was sick, he didn't treat my mom well. I only understood later, maybe my dad just wanted to chase my mom away, "Tian Di's eyes turned red as he said this.
"I'm sorry. Tian Di, because of me, I made you remember your sad memories, "I felt a bit guilty.
"It's fine. Actually, how could I forget this kind of thing? "Tian Di forced a smile.
