Chapter 264 Brother, is my mother gone?
"Hey, you should persuade him more and tell him to be more positive and not drink all day long. It's not good for his health." Wang Shuixiang said.
"Mom, why do you care about him? What's the point of him not drinking? He will be bored to death if he doesn't drink. If it doesn't work, why don't you send the reinforcements back and ask him to serve them. This way he won't have time to drink." Li Kangri suggested.
"Hey! I don't think those kids will go back. They stick to Qinghe all day long, so how could they go back?" Wang Shuixiang said, "Will he cook for me when he goes home?"
"Yes, I'll go ask later if we can send them back so that Old Li will have something to do." Li Kangri said.
After dinner, Kangri came to Li Yaozu's room first and said, "Grandpa, my mother just came to me. She knew what you were thinking a long time ago." Li Kangri said.
Hearing Li Kangri's words, the two elders immediately stood up and asked with joy in their eyes, "What did your mother say? Does she want to be with your father?"
"Hey! Grandpa, don't be so happy. My mother said that she is no longer the same person she was before, and Old Li is no longer the same Old Li as before. So she doesn't agree with this matter. You should just give up on it!" Li Kangri said.
After hearing what Li Kangri said, the two old men's eyes dimmed at once, and they felt extremely upset.
After a long silence, Li Yaozu said, "Hey! I understand your mother. After all, it was your father who let her down. We really didn't consider your mother's feelings. We only wanted to reunite the family. We won't mention this matter anymore in the future. Let nature take its course!"
"Grandpa, you are right to have this idea. Don't worry about these things in the future." Li Kangri said with a smile.
"I got it. You should visit him more often in the future. He must be lonely alone." Li Yaozu said.
"Haha, I've thought about this problem, so I plan to call back the reinforcements and ask Lao Li to take care of them. This way he won't be bored, and he should also take on the responsibilities of being a father." Li Kangri said.
When Li Yaozu heard that Li Kangri was going to send his grandson away, he became anxious, "Kangri, how can your father take care of the child? Your grandmother and I are here to take care of him. He is a grown man, but I don't think he can even cook. If you send him away, won't the child suffer?"
"Then can you bear to let your son live alone?" Li Kangri said with a smile.
"Hey! What's going on? You decide for yourself. I don't think the children will leave." Li Yaozu said.
"Okay, I'll go talk to them." Li Kangri said.
After a while, in the backyard, in the room next to Li Qinghe, when Li Kangri entered, the reinforcements and civilians were doing their homework. When they saw Li Kangri coming in, they immediately stood up and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Haha, let me see what you are doing?" Li Kangri said with a smile.
"We are doing our homework." the reinforcements replied.
"Well, I see," Li Kangri said, "How is it? Have you gotten used to being here? "
"Brother, I love staying here. Grandpa and grandma are here, and Sister Qinghe prepares delicious food for us." The aid worker answered quickly.
"Don't you miss Lao Li? He is all alone now." Li Kangri asked.
Hearing Li Kangri's words, the two brothers lowered their heads and felt sad. They knew that their family was now in pieces.
After a long time, Li Yuanjun asked, "Brother, can I ask you a question?"
"what is the problem?"
"You have to promise me first that you won't lie to me, okay?" the reinforcement said, with pleading in his eyes as he spoke.
"Haha, kid, you've even learned this trick. I can't promise you this. I have to know what question you are asking first." Li Kangri said.
"Brother, I'm grown up now, don't treat me like a child anymore." said the reinforcement.
"Hey, you still want to be an adult? Okay, you're a good kid, so I'll treat you as an adult from now on."
"Brother, is my mother dead?" the reinforcements suddenly asked.
After asking, he looked straight at Li Kangri, as if to say, "You can't lie to me." Similarly, the aid worker who was two years younger than him also looked at Li Kangri with tears in his eyes.
Looking at the looks in the two children's eyes, Li Kangri really didn't know what to say, but after thinking for a while, he said, "What does 'gone' mean? Your mother is fine, she's just locked up. As you know, there are struggles everywhere now, and your mother's background is indeed not good."
"Brother, you are lying," the reinforcement said with tears in his eyes, "You all lied to us. Don't think I don't know that my mother committed suicide."
"Ah! This..." Li Kangri said in surprise, "Who told you that? It's not true. Don't listen to other people's nonsense."
"Brother, I accidentally heard what my grandparents said. They said my mother was dead and committed suicide. Brother, tell me, is this true?" the reinforcement cried.
At the side, the aid workers were shedding tears.
"Ah!" Li Kangri sighed and said, "Yes, your mother is gone."
After getting the definite answer, the two children burst into tears.
There was no other way, Li Kangri could only go over and comfort them, "You two are little men now, and it's time for you to be sensible. Your crying will attract your sister here. What if your sister finds out about this? Don't you think so?" Li Kangri said.
After hearing what Li Kangri said, the two men immediately stopped crying. "Brother, is my mother really gone? Why did she commit suicide?" the reinforcements cried.
"Hey! Reinforcements, there are many helplessness in this world. You will understand adult matters when you grow up. But I don't think your mother would want you to be sad. I think she would want you to grow up happily, don't you think?" Li Kangri comforted.
"Brother, I understand." said the reinforcement.
"Brother, I know that too." The aid worker echoed.
"Well, that's right," Li Kangri said with a smile, "You must not tell your sister about this. If she asks, just tell her that your mother has gone to work in a faraway place. Got it?"
"Brother, I know, my sister is still young, I won't tell." said the reinforcements.
"Well, there is another thing now. Old Li lives alone in your house and has no one to accompany him. What do you think we should do?" Li Kangri asked.
"Brother, you don't mean to ask us to go back, do you?" The reinforcements said with a bitter face, "But I don't want to go back."
"Me too, brother. The food at home isn't as delicious as Sister Qinghe's. I don't want to go back either. Can you bring Dad over as well? Then he'll have someone to keep him company. There are a lot of people here, including grandparents, sister-in-law, sister, and little nephew." Li Yuanmin said.
"But Old Li won't come! He is not used to living here, so you have to go over and keep him company. I will also keep the house here for you, and you can come back and live here anytime." Li Kangri said.
"Brother, how about this, we two take turns accompanying Old Li? One week each, but forget about our sister, she's still young." The reinforcements suggested.
Hearing the reinforcements' proposal, Li Kangri also thought it was a good idea, so he agreed and said, "Reinforcement, your idea is very good, then it is decided. Reinforcement, do you have any objection?"
"Brother, I have no objection, it's just that..." Yuanmin stammered.
"Just what?"
“I just want to eat my sister’s food. Can you please send some to me? The food cooked by Lao Li is terrible. He can’t cook at all.” The aid worker said aggrievedly.
"Hey! Okay, when you go back next time, I will ask Xiao Liu to bring you some food. It will be made by my apprentice. How about it?" Li Kangri said.
"Really? Brother, you are so nice." The aid worker smiled.
