Chapter 74: life experience

Li Minghua heard what the eldest son said, and said in amazement: "Go, where can he go?"
Li Jianping gave the letter to his father: "He left such a letter."
Li Minghua's education level didn't have much difficulty in reading through a letter. He read it word by word under the light.
Li Jianbo's handwriting is very beautiful, and it is easy to read.
"Dear father, mother, eldest brother: forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I am sorry that I made this decision myself without discussing it with you in advance. When it was time to choose again, this time I decided to choose another direction. Please. Forgive my good ideas. May you all be well, in three to five years, maybe a little longer, I will be back. Wait for me!"
The letter was written so dumb and thoughtless. Li Minghua read it with anger. After reading it, he patted the table and said angrily: "What is this!"
Li Wei stood there and read the letter again. The second brother really left. He had been planning for it long ago. Li Wei remembered some abnormal performances of his second elder brother after New Year's Day last semester. Didn't he have the determination to leave since then? That's why he became so weird.
Liu Chunzhi also sighed in his heart: "Speaking of which he is not yet eighteen, where can he go? He has no money."
Li Minghua smoked again, and the family fell into silence. They were all thinking that Li Jianbo might just be rebellious for a while and wanted to go out for a walk, maybe he would be back in a few days.
Li Wei suddenly remembered the story of the middle-aged uncle that the second brother told her last night, she said dullly, "Going abroad? Will the second brother go abroad?"
The other three people glanced at her, and Jianping first said: "Going abroad? Just his kid? Impossible, absolutely impossible. You think going abroad is as easy as going out of the province. I heard that you need a visa and a passport. Even if he does it. When he comes down, who is he going to run for?"
Li Wei had never been abroad, so naturally he didn't know these procedures.
Li Minghua has already smoked half of a cigarette. He frowned and said to his wife: "We have been raising them for 16 years. We still cannot raise them. His mother must have found them, otherwise?"
Liu Chunzhi could not speak, she covered her mouth and cried. Although this son was not raised by himself, after all, he has been around for 16 years, and he has developed feelings even by raising a dog, let alone a living one. people. Jianbo has been sensible since he was a child, and he is smart and easy to learn. Over the years, I don't know how many awards and certificates he has received, and he has also earned several scholarships. I always think that they will get ahead in a few years, and they can still rely on Jianbo to live a few days of stability, but they will still leave at the end.
Li Jianping didn't say anything, but Li Wei heard something strange and hurriedly asked: "Second brother, second brother, isn't he from our family?"
Li Minghua had already smoked one cigarette, and wanted to get another one, only to find that the box was already empty.
"Jianping, go out and buy me a pack of cigarettes."
Li Jianping took the money and went out.
Here Liu Chunzhi quietly talked to Li Wei about what happened 16 years ago.
"At that time, Jianping was less than five years old. Jianbo's mother was an educated youth who went to the countryside and had the opportunity to return to the city, but it was inconvenient for a woman to take a child alone. The above had to be reviewed again. She had some contacts with our family. Seeing that there is only one child in our family, Jianping likes to play with him again. Before she left, she entrusted Jianbo to us and asked us to help take it for a while. When the work was stable, all arrangements were made before returning to pick up Jianbo. In the past few years, I can often send us some sugar, milk powder, etc., and have paid a few times. But after a few years, there is no news, let alone pick up Jianbo. As time goes by, we will Jianbo became his own child and forgot about his biological mother. When his mother put him in our house, he was only two years old, and we never told him about it before. He was still like that. I don’t remember about his mother anymore. This year is the sixteenth year. I thought it would be like this for the rest of my life, but he..." Liu Chunzhi said, crying again.
Li Wei had no choice but to persuade him: "Mom, don't be too sad. I don't think the second brother is such a low-hearted person. He said in his letter that he will come back, he will definitely come back again. If you really go abroad, it might be possible to go somewhere not far."
"In the end, I was still feeding the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." Li Minghua felt angry.
This night, because of Jianbo, the whole family was trapped in a miserable mist. Li Wei understood the whole thing, she went back to the room silently.
On the desk are a lot of counseling materials that her second brother personally selected for her. There are also places he has annotated with a pen, including the test sites, and the difficult points are drawn for her. There are topics from the first grade to the third grade. .
Seeing the neat and clean writing on it, Li Wei gradually felt a little blurry in front of his eyes. Feeling uncomfortable in her heart, she leaned on the table and closed her eyes. He was sitting in this position last night, playing guitar for her, and singing for her. His singing seemed to linger in his ears. If she noticed his behavior and kept him, would she not leave? Li Wei's suddenly remembered the sad middle-aged uncle's story that her second brother had told her.
The uncle had also faced a choice. The uncle chose to give up the invitation of his biological mother. Later, he has been living awkwardly, and he has not achieved anything after nearly half a hundred years.
The younger sister who died young, the elder brother in jail. The mother who died due to illness, and the uncle's regret when he died. Li Wei sat up between the flashes of lightning, and she faintly understood one thing. Did the second brother foresee something? That's why he desperately pushed the eldest brother out to do something and change the family. That middle-aged uncle was actually talking about himself? But how could it be, how could the smart and easy-to-learn second brother be reduced to the appearance of a poor uncle.
Li Wei couldn't understand, whether the second elder brother was a middle-aged uncle or not, but he really made his own choice, and perhaps no one could predict what it would become in the future. Without the second brother by her side to support her, the next way is to rely on her to walk step by step.
It has been two full years since I came to this time and space, thanks to such a brother. Li Wei recalled that she had been dropped out of school before she came here without clarifying the situation. It was Jianbo who gave her a training session that gradually made her understand, and in order to prevent her from falling behind, he led her step by step to the right path. Help her with homework and take her to know this era again. Li Jianbo is her guide, if there is no such elder brother, she is bound to walk extremely hard.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me. I will definitely go on the next road. I won't worry about you again."
Li Wei read this sentence in his heart against those handwritings, and at the same time hoped that her second brother would be able to get along well elsewhere.
