After Xu Kaijiang left Dutou, he went looking for work as usual. Life must go on. No matter how difficult it is, as long as he keeps going, there might be some turning point ahead.

A turning point may be an opportunity or a crisis.

After a busy day, Xu Kaijiang finally finished everything at hand. When he was exhausted and walking home, he saw bursts of smoke coming from the chimney of his house in the distance.

At first, he didn't react and thought his house was on fire. But when he looked more closely, he found that it was flying out of the chimney.

In an instant, his eyes gradually blurred. The bloodshot eyes were originally telling him about his hard work of the day, but instead they were describing his excitement.

He didn't know how long it had been since he saw smoke flying out of his chimney. He didn't know it before, but after losing it, he discovered that those ordinary things before were actually a kind of rare happiness.

Ordinariness is true and also a blessing.

He ran home quickly and rushed to the door as fast as he could. When he opened the door, he saw the woman who should have been lying on the bed busy in and out of the kitchen. The big spoon was turning over and over in her hands, and the pot was smelling

Releases bursts of charming fragrance.

When the woman saw that Xu Kaijiang was back, she said with a smile, "Hurry and wash your hands. You can eat soon."

Xu Kaijiang turned a deaf ear and walked towards the woman in a daze. Seeing that the person in front of him was not his illusion, he finally couldn't help it and threw himself into his mother's arms. Tears fell from his eyes, "Mom, you finally woke up.

It’s finally okay.”

His mother also touched his head and said, "Silly boy, you have worked hard all these years."

Xu Kaijiang said, "As long as my mother is fine, I'm not afraid of any hardship."

Xu's mother helped Xu Kaijiang and looked at him with tears streaming down his face. She felt distressed and funny at the same time. She used her sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face and said, "Okay, how old are you already?"

You're so crying, and you still want to beg me for sweets whenever you cry like you did when you were a kid."

Xu Kaijiang smiled and said, "I won't eat sugar anymore. From now on, I will save the sugar for you, mother."

Xu's mother looked at her child in front of her. Although she had been lying in bed all these years, her consciousness was sometimes awake. When she first got sick, she could still struggle to get up and work for him, but later,

She had the will but was powerless.

At the moment she fell, she was still worried that Xu Kaijiang would not be able to survive, but it turns out that when faced with a desperate situation, people can push out their greatest potential. This potential can help him do things that he once thought he could not do.

The things he encounters can also help him leap over despair and overcome difficulties.

Xu Kaijiang's appearance was much longer than when she was sick, and her eyebrows looked a bit like his dead father's, showing a firm and strong tenacity. She looked at her son with joy, and her heart was full of reluctance and sadness.

But on the surface, she still had to pretend to be calm.

This meal at the Xu family is the best meal Xu Kaijiang has eaten in the past few years. Although it is still not comparable to when his father was alive, he may eat the food cooked by his mother again and her mother can accompany him to eat together.

, even if he was eating wild vegetables, he was extremely satisfied and happy.

Maybe happiness is so simple, a house that can protect you from the wind and rain, someone has cooked a meal waiting for you to come back, and the two of you simply eat the meal under the dim light. Xu Kaijiang also found out later that what he wanted all along was

It's such a simple life.

After eating, Xu's mother drove Xu Kaijiang to bed, but Xu Kaijiang still didn't want to sleep. He was worried that what he had lived today was an illusion, and when he woke up tomorrow, everything would be back to the original state. His mother was still lying in bed, at home.

There was no warm smell, no fragrant food, and nothing that would make him feel happy when he returned home.

Seeing this, Xu's mother could only comfort him and said, "Okay, okay, mother is here to accompany you and sew clothes for you by the way. Look, you go out to find work and don't even know that your clothes are torn. You are so incompetent."

Take care of yourself so that I can rest assured."

Seeing this, Xu Kaijiang quickly said to his former scoundrel, "My mother can help me sew from now on. I will go out to find work, and I can make my mother live a good life in the future."

After hearing this, Xu's mother smiled happily and said, "Okay, I remember. I believe that my Xiao Jiang will definitely succeed in the future."

Xu's mother sat in front of Xu Kaijiang's bed, singing gentle and sweet nursery rhymes to lull him to sleep just like he did when he was a child.

Xu Kaijiang had been tired for a day. Under the influence of his mother's songs, even if he didn't want to sleep anymore, all the burdens and pressures in his heart were relieved. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he closed his eyes unknowingly.

.

What was different from before was that he still had a happy smile on his lips before going to bed.

Xu's mother looked at him, Xu Kaijiang, as if she wanted to remember his face deeply in her heart. The young man in front of her already had the responsibilities that a man should have to withstand the wind and rain, but no matter how strong he was, in Xu's mother's heart, he had always been there.

The crying child in her arms!

Xu's mother packed everything for Xu Kaijiang, took out all his clothes, mended all the broken places, and went to prepare tomorrow's breakfast for Xu Kaijiang.

After she finished doing this, she sat down, took out the few pens and papers at home, and wrote down what she wanted to tell Xu Kaijiang. As she wrote, she couldn't stop crying.

It's not that she hasn't thought about whether those three young people had other desires during the day, but no matter how much they wanted, one of the words was still correct. If she hadn't died, Xu Kaijiang would not have gone out to Tianmen Town with anyone. In order to

She was happy to sacrifice her life to make Xu Kaijiang's future a reality.

After writing all the things to be explained, the sky began to turn white, and Xu's mother's spirit began to deteriorate. She walked to her room with support, picked up the hairpin and earrings that her husband-in-law had given her, and tied herself

After combing her hair, she put on a clean dress and lay on the bed, waiting for that moment to come.

As time moved forward slowly, her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and the past of her life began to appear in front of her eyes. The good and the bad flashed past her eyes, and finally stayed in front of her.

What happened was after Xu Kaijiang was born, their family of three sat happily eating together.

That was when Xu Kaijiang was full moon and she became a mother for the first time. It was not until that moment that she rediscovered the meaning of her life.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew outside the window, blowing out the tiny flames.

This was the best night Xu Kaijiang slept. Before he went to bed, he thought that he must go to Li Yu when he woke up today. Firstly, he wanted to thank him, and secondly, he wanted to ask him to come over and give his mother a good diagnosis and treatment.

To put him at ease.

When he woke up, he didn't see his mother, so he quickly got out of bed and went to his mother's room.

When he saw that the door was open, he felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. After knocking on the door, he found that his mother didn't respond, and he felt uneasy for no reason. He couldn't care about anything else.

Go into the room quickly.

Xu Kaijiang saw his mother lying on the bed, with the quilt uncovered and fully dressed. The bad thoughts in his heart became stronger and stronger. He stepped forward and called softly, "Mom, it's dawn, it's time to get up."

no respond.

Xu Kaijiang sat paralyzed in front of his mother's bed. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were scarlet. He blurred his eyes and continued to ask, "Mom, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it for you."

Still no response.

"Mom, are you angry? I'm angry that I went to bed very early yesterday, so you went to bed late today."

Still no response.

"Mom, did you dream about dad? I dreamed about dad yesterday. Dad told you to take good care of me. Do you want to know how dad is doing? If you want to know, just get up quickly, okay?"

After saying this, Xu Kaijiang finally couldn't bear it anymore. He threw himself on the bed and cried loudly.
