"Then you still have photos of him when he was a child. If you have a chance in the future, give me two photos of him when he was a child."

Li Wei said: "I don't know if there are any photos of my poor family when I was young. Plus, I have moved several times, so I have to ask my mother to find out."

Qi Jingzhen said with a smile: "That's okay, let's talk about it in the future. Besides, I also want to visit your parents. They are my old friends, and I haven't seen them for more than 20 years."

Qi Jingzhen asked Li Wei about Jianbo's childhood and their previous living conditions. Li Wei slowly spoke to Qi Jingzhen, and Qi Jingzhen couldn't help but feel a little sad: "This child has also suffered a lot, but once Poverty has become a fortune for him. If only I hadn't been so selfish and left him behind."

It must have been a different situation when Qi Jingzhen took her second brother away, but who would change the situation at home? According to what the second brother once said, the original owner threw himself into the river because he was frustrated by Liu Chunzhi. He never woke up after jumping into the river. The eldest brother got into trouble again because of a fight. The successive blows caused Liu Chunzhi to die of illness early, and a good family was broken up like this.

If Li Jianbo was not from this family, he might have gone in a different direction, no one can say for sure.

Qi Jingzhen saw Li Weizheng looking at the rainy scene outside and didn't know what he was thinking. This woman is Jian Bo's sister. According to Jingyi, she is Jian Bo's love. In Qi Jingzhen's opinion, falling in love with a sister who is not related by blood is not a problem. It's a rational thing, but feelings may not be rational. If she had been full of reason, Jian Bo would not have been born.

Although Qi Jingzhen's critical eyes felt that Li Wei was inappropriate in every aspect, after all, she was chosen by her son and there was nothing to say.

"I have never raised Jianbo. He is not close to me. In fact, it is normal. I have never thought about him being filial to me. But I am also over fifty, and in a blink of an eye, I am in my sixties, wandering around outside. After half my life, I have accumulated some career. Now I have such a son beside me. I really hope that he can be my right-hand man and help me. After all, I am almost exhausted, but he doesn’t understand me at all. What kind of doctor? Being a doctor is very hard. I have paved the way for him but he doesn’t leave. I really don’t know what he is thinking and likes to go against me in everything.”

"That aunt..." Li Wei paused before continuing, "Auntie also had dreams when she was young, right?"

"Dream? The dream of our generation is to live a more comfortable life. For the sake of freedom, I made many choices, including leaving him behind. In fact, looking back, my original starting point may have been wrong."

"So Auntie, have you ever regretted it?"

"Regret?" Qi Jingzhen stared at the young woman in front of her who was a generation behind her. Was she going to tell the woman in front of her what she regretted? No, she would not look back once she made a choice. She was decisive and did not give herself a chance to regret.

"I don't regret it. Even if I can do it again, I don't regret it." This is where Qi Jingzhen has a strong character, which is completely different from her sister. It is precisely because of this that she stands at a high place now.

Li Wei continued to smile gently and asked: "Auntie, did you have a career that you most wanted to pursue, but later had to give up?"

"Yes. When I first came to Yongning, I worked as a primary school teacher for a period of time. At that time, I felt that being a teacher was quite good. I faced carefree children all day long, and I felt younger. But Later, I was unwilling to live in such poverty all my life. I am not that noble person, so I just wanted to seize the opportunity to return to the city. "

Now answering this question, Li Wei felt like he was interviewing a successful businesswoman.

"Auntie, my second brother also had a dream when he was young. Guess what he wanted to do most when he was a child?"

How could Qi Jing really guess it? She shook her head and said, "I really don't know this."

"He wanted to be a doctor. At that time, his family was so poor that it was difficult to eat, but he always held on to his dream. The dream was not a fantasy. He had been working hard towards his dream. Even if you didn't find him at the beginning , instead of taking him to the United States, I think he will also apply for medical school and become a good doctor. This is the career he most wants to pursue. "

Qi Jingzhen didn't speak for a long time after hearing this. After a while, she asked Li Wei: "So what was your dream?"

"I used to not know why I lived or who I lived for. Later I realized that I want to live for myself. Auntie, you are right, in order to live more comfortably. By chance, I embarked on this journey I got into the stage and came into contact with hosting, and I found it quite interesting, so I stuck with it, so I later joined a TV station and continued to strive for my dream. Although there was a gap between the dream and reality, I never thought about it. To give up.”

Qi Jingzhen smiled and said: "You are indeed his sister. You brothers and sisters all think the same way."

"It was my second brother who influenced me. Without him, I might have taken many detours and groped in the dark for a long time. It was he who lit up my way forward."

Being worshiped wholeheartedly by a woman, is that why Jianbo is attracted to this woman? Qi Jing really didn't want to think about it anymore. She said, "I'm living in the Hilton now. I may stay there for a month. I'll give you my room number. If you have nothing to do, you can come to me."

Li Wei took the note and agreed, "Okay."

Qi Jingzhen took the initiative to end the afternoon tea, and she barely touched the desserts she ordered. Seeing that Li Wei liked to eat, she asked people to pack them up and let Li Wei take them back, completely treating Li Wei as a child.

This meeting lasted for an hour and a half and ended. Qi Jingzhen walked out of the store first, and Li Wei hurriedly followed. The rain outside didn't stop. Fortunately, Li Wei had prepared one in her bag. She opened her umbrella and let Qi Jingzhen took it and ran out to help Qi Jingzhen hail a taxi. It was not that easy to hail a taxi on a rainy day. After waiting for nearly ten minutes, she finally hailed a taxi.

Li Wei waved to Qi Jingzhen: "Auntie, come quickly!"

Qi Jingzhen then walked over holding an umbrella, and Li Wei had already opened the passenger door for her. Qi Jingzhen returned the umbrella to Li Wei before getting in the car and said goodbye to her with a smile.

Li Wei still said gently: "Auntie, please take care!"

Jian Bo fell in love with this woman not only because she admired him, but also because he could chase gringos in Chinatown just to recover his friend's wallet, and he could stop the car for her in the rain. These seemingly small aspects could also It is enough to reflect a person's character. Li Wei, a woman, is actually not too bad in her eyes.
