In just a few seconds, both of their bowls were piled high.
Qiao Manxue took back her chopsticks with satisfaction and sat back down.
During this time, both Tang Nuanhua and Li Jingyi lost weight.
Because there were too many things accumulating in their hearts, and because they missed each other too much, both of them suffered a lot without knowing it.
At this time, seeing Qiao Manxue entertaining them so warmly, Tang Nuanhua and Li Jingyi had no choice but to express their thanks.
"Mom, you don't have to be so polite, just eat more yourself!"
Qiao Manxue smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, you two children don't have to worry about us. Your father and I have taken good care of ourselves during this period of time, but, as for your grandparents, up to now He’s still living in the hospital.”
After finishing his words, he sighed again.
"Huh? Are they still in the hospital?"
Tang Nuanhua originally thought that grandma and grandpa would have been discharged from the hospital after not seeing each other for such a long time.
Qiao Manxue shook her head helplessly, "Isn't it? In fact, your grandfather is fine, but even your grandma is still unwilling to accept that Jing Yi is dead, and has been stubbornly waiting for Jing Yi to come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Manxue suddenly laughed again, "But it's okay now. Jing Yi is back. Your grandma also waited for Jing Yi. I guess she felt better this time and came back."
"After dinner in the afternoon, you two children, go and pick them up in person!"
"Uh-huh!"
Hearing this, Tang Nuanhua and Li Jingyi looked at each other in tacit understanding and smiled softly.
Not long after that, Sister-in-law Li made several fresh dishes and served them.
When it was served, he was still smiling and said, "Master, Madam, you come back suddenly, and I can't prepare any good meals for you. I can only rush to make a few more dishes. But wait until evening, I will definitely cook a big table of sumptuous dishes for you!”
"Well, okay, thank you Sister-in-law Li."
Tang Nuanhua thanked Sister-in-law Li, always with an unconscious smile on his face.
At this time, Qiao Manxue was extremely happy and even made a suggestion, "Jingyi, you said it's so gratifying that you finally came back. You said, how about we hold a banquet at home? How about it? Let’s invite a lot of people to the banquet. On the one hand, we want to let them know that you are back, and on the other hand, we can welcome you!”
In short, Qiao Manxue wanted to do anything when she was happy.
Her precious son finally came back, so of course she wanted everyone to know.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Li Jingyi rejected her directly, "Mom, no need, I don't want anyone to know that I'm still alive."
"ah?"
Qiao Manxue was obviously taken aback when she heard this.
Li Jingyi took a deep breath at this time, and after silently looking at Tang Nuan's paintings, he simply spoke up.
"Mom, although I am back this time, I will still have to leave one day because I have an incurable disease and my life is actually short."
Li Jingyi said this calmly, which undoubtedly stabbed Qiao Manxue and Li Haitian's hearts again.
So he apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, there's nothing I can do about being terminally ill."
"well!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Qiao Manxue and Li Haitian were not so sad that they cried.
Maybe it was because I had already accepted Li Jingyi's death once, and now that I was accepting such news again, it seemed that it would not be so difficult to accept.
The two just sighed deeply, and then even wanted to eat. Hope is gone.
Putting the chopsticks on the table, Qiao Manxue's smile that finally appeared on her face gradually disappeared, and she asked, "What's going on, kid?"
"It's a long story, but Mom and Dad, my disease was diagnosed a long time ago. At that time, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear the shock, and I thought it could still be cured, so I didn't tell you. I didn't expect that in the end, it turned out that There is still no cure, so, Mom, there is no need to make any big fanfare when I come back this time. Anyway, everyone has accepted my death, and I only need to hold a funeral. This time, let me be in peace. Enjoy the rest of the time quietly and go quietly."
This time, Li Jingyi only wanted to live for himself once.
Time was running out, and he no longer wanted to waste time on anything unworthy.
"well!"
Although it was no longer difficult to accept, at this moment, tears still appeared faintly in Qiao Manxue's eyes.
She originally thought that her precious son was back, but she didn't expect that even though he was back, he would still have to leave after all.
"Okay, anyway, we have already held a funeral for our child. Don't cry anymore this time. The child hid this news from us before just because he was afraid that we would be sad. Look, you are wiping away tears again. Then Doesn’t it make them feel bad?”
At this time, Li Haitian said something dissatisfied to Qiao Manxue.
He thought that the reason why Li Jingyi chose to come back this time and tell these things to his parents was that he had mustered up a lot of courage.
Therefore, parents like them should stop crying and putting more pressure on their children.
Smiling heartily, Li Haitian said cheerfully at this time, "Okay, kid, we already know about you. In the next period of time, you can enjoy your life. It is best to bring warm paintings with you." Go on a trip together and do all the things you want to do, don’t leave any regrets, you know?”
As a father, that's all he could say.
"Okay, I understand Dad, thank you for understanding me."
Li Jingyi knew that it was not easy for his father to say these words, so he thanked his father gently.
After that, he looked at Tang Nuan Hua again and said, "Actually, I have already decided. In the remaining time, I will accompany Nuan Hua to see everywhere, and just like you said, we will learn about all the things we have not done yet." Get everything done so you won’t have any regrets.”
"Well, okay, okay, okay!"
After saying three good words in a row, Li Haitian didn't know what else to say, so he picked up the chopsticks again and continued eating.
As for how helpless the sigh stuck in his throat was, only he himself knew.
Tang Nuanhua and Li Jingyi didn't say anything more and ate in silence.
After eating, Tang Nuanhua and Li Jingyi left the Li family and went to the hospital to pick up the old man and his wife.
Li Haitian and Qiao Manxue looked at the backs of the two people leaving. After the two people left, they shed two lines of tears.
