Chapter 39

"Baked, but not delicious!"

Ji Baobao tilted his head and pulled the last piece of meat off the chicken wings. He threw the bone and just wanted to put his finger in his mouth to lick it. Ji Rui had a clear eye and a quick hand. He grabbed his hand and pulled it into the basin to wash it for him.

"Daddy, please go home and cook for the baby! All the meals made by my uncles are not delicious

Ji Baobao puts his fat little hand around Ji Rui's waist, buries his face in Ji Rui's warm stomach and makes a sweet voice. Now, he has become a loyal supporter of "Granny".

"No way!"

Ji Rui gently rubs his soft hair, but his tone is very resolute. He is secretly glad that when he said Letong was an old lady, if he let the little devil know that the person who cooked for him was a beautiful sister, I don't know what it would be like now.

"Daddy... Baby, please, OK?"

Ji Baobao shakes Ji Rui with both hands and raises his face pitifully.

"No way!"

Ji Rui is still very determined and secretly regrets that he should not have heard housekeeper Li say that the young master has a bad appetite that day. In order to please the little devil, let Letong cook this meal.

Ji Baobao was refused twice, but he didn't say a word. He bit his lip and stared at Ji Rui. His watery eyes were gradually covered with mist.

Ji Rui see this, secretly cry not good, Ji baby without warning to suddenly mouth a flat, cry.

"Wow... Daddy is a bad guy... Wow... Daddy is a bad guy!"

While crying, he waved his fist and hit Ji Rui's stomach.

Ji Rui was at a loss for a moment. He just felt that his forehead was jumping violently. This little villain was born with him!

"Don't cry!"

Ji Rui frowned and scolded. Ji Baobao's loud crying made him feel bored and stuffy. His heart seemed to be pulled tight by something, and he was suffering.

"Bad guy... Daddy is a bad guy!"

Ji Baobao doesn't seem to be afraid of him. He sobs and thumps Ji Rui's stomach. His fists are more and more powerful. His tears flow down his face. He's embarrassed and pitiful.

Ji Rui is very upset. He suddenly raises his hand when he is angry. But when he sees his son's pathetic face, he sighs in secret. His hand falls on Ji Baobao's back silently and sweeps it.

Or, is he too selfish, at the beginning, just want to have a child to deal with the old man. But I never thought that the child would grow up and want something that Ji Rui could not afford

……………………

After leaving Ji Rui's home, Letong didn't rush home. Instead, she bought a bag of bread and a bottle of water and went to the library not far from home.

Since her mother died, Letong suddenly had a lot of spare time. At that time, she spent most of her time outside work in this library.

"Tong Tong, I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you immigrated!"

The librarian of the library is a middle-aged man in his fifties. His surname is Zhong. Because Letong often comes and goes, they get to know each other.

"Uncle Zhong, I didn't immigrate. I changed a new job and often worked overtime, so I didn't have time to read books."

Letong gives uncle Zhong a bag of melon seeds she bought when she bought bread. In the past, uncle Zhong always helped her keep the books she wanted to read. When she saw Uncle Zhong sitting idle, she liked to kill time by knocking melon seeds. Every time she came, she brought him a bag of melon seeds.

Uncle Zhong took the melon seeds with a smile, "you girl, for so long, still remember that I love to eat this."

After a few words of greetings, there are several people waiting in line to go through the book borrowing procedures. Letong, embarrassed to get in the way of others, walks into the library with bread and water, finds two books she wants to read, and sits in the last row of seats to read them slowly.

I don't know how long I've been watching, but suddenly there's a cup of steaming tea on the table.

"Have a cup of hot tea. It's bad for you to eat bread and drink cold water in such cold weather." Uncle Zhong with a kind smile sat down beside her.

"Thank you, uncle Zhong!"

Letong said thanks with a smile, took a sip of tea from the cup, and felt the mellow fragrance of tea with warmth spread all the way from her mouth to her heart.

In the years after her operation, Letong was very busy. She had to attend classes, take care of her mother, and received several tutors to help her family.

After her mother died, Letong's life suddenly lost its focus. She didn't want to stay in the small apartment because there were too many memories of her and her mother in the room.

Once upon a time, she always thought she was very strong. Even when her mother said she would give up treatment, she didn't cry.

But after her mother died, for more than a month, she stayed in bed and sobbed to sleep.

It was also at that time that she realized that she was not as strong as she was.

Mother said she didn't cry when she gave up treatment. Because if even she cried, her mother would really have no hope of survival. So she didn't dare to cry, and she couldn't.

After her mother's death, the pillars of her life collapsed, and she felt like she was about to collapse. So she spent most of her spare time in the library, numbing herself with books and filling up the time she should have spent taking care of her mother with books.

At first, she was not familiar with Uncle Zhong, but once, sitting in the last row, she saw a story similar to her own and couldn't help looking up the back of her hand and wiping her eyes.

"Girl, it's cold. Drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach."

Uncle Zhong, in addition to serving her a cup of hot tea, also put a few small biscuits on the plate. He said that his daughter baked them, so that he could bring them back to eat when he was idle.

For her at that time, uncle Zhong gave her more than a cup of hot tea and a few biscuits that day

In the blink of an eye, it's been a year.

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight, aren't you working too hard?" Uncle Zhong looked at her with concern.

Le Tong shook her head, "no, I'm losing weight."

Letong knows that uncle Zhong cares about her, but she is not used to treating others as garbage cans, and she doesn't want uncle Zhong to worry.

Uncle Zhong looked at her again and scolded, "you look thin. How can you lose weight? It's just skin and bone. "

Letong smiles cleverly and drinks tea with her eyes down.

"Actually, I thought you were married, so I didn't have time to read." Uncle Zhong said suddenly.

"Eh?"

Letong doesn't quite understand how Uncle Zhong can get involved in marriage. She and he never seem to have mentioned this aspect.

"What? You are so beautiful and young, must be many boys chasing you? At that time, I wanted to introduce my nephew to you. I didn't expect that you would be gone before my wishful thinking started. "

Uncle Zhong said with regret that it was the first time that Letong heard about it.
