Chapter 250 Fallen leaves return to their roots
Chapter 250 Fallen leaves return to their roots
Wei Shujiang and his two children were exhausted from the long journey and were starving.
There was a large table of food, and the father and his two sons almost finished it all in no time. In a blink of an eye, only leftovers were left on the table.
"Eat slowly, there's more, there's more."
Mother Wei looked at her son and grandson wolfing down the food, her eyes filled with heartache.
How much hardship must the children have endured outside. Hong Kong is no longer what it used to be. The era of RMB everywhere has passed. Women's clothing brands are like flowers blooming after autumn, and business is not doing well.
The second son has three sons, so his life must be particularly difficult.
The old lady's nose was already sore as she thought about it.
At this time, the brothers Da Hu and Niu Niu both rushed over.
Youyou is a smart kid. She had secretly sent a text message to Wei Shuqing, informing her of what had happened.
Wei Shuqing was working on making noodles with soybean paste in the kitchen.
After focusing on his career again, in addition to the high-end catering brand Xiankelai Restaurant, Three Meals a Day also launched a snack bar where you can enjoy delicious meals.
The store offers some affordable snacks and some home-cooked dishes.
Although the price of Chihao Dining is not high, it is also people-friendly. Backed by the brand of three meals a day and with a team of professional chefs, it became very popular since its launch.
The signature dish of the store is noodles with soybean paste.
But traditional noodles with soybean paste are too salty and oily. In the days when people were hungry, people went to restaurants to eat noodles with soybean paste to improve their lives, as they needed this salty, fragrant and oily taste.
But now people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and they no longer have to live in poverty. They all pay attention to the taste.
Wei Shuqing plans to improve the taste of the sauce in Zhajiangmian to cater to the tastes of today's young people so that this former signature snack can become popular again.
She read the text message sent by Youyou and felt a mixture of emotions.
When people reach a certain age, they always cherish their family more, and Wei Shuqing is no exception.
Although Wei Shujiang is a bastard, he is her second brother who grew up with her.
She knew that for many years, the old lady had been thinking about her son who was wandering outside.
It’s good to be back. I hope nothing weird will happen this time.
Wei Shuqing left the task of developing the sauce to the chefs, while she called Wei Shuhai while walking.
"Brother, second brother is back."
More than ten years have passed since the three Wei siblings sat together again.
All three of them have been weathered by time, and Wei Shujiang's age is the most obvious.
He was already thin, and his cheekbones appeared even higher, his chin was narrower, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep, making him look particularly old and mean.
"Shujiang, you are old."
Wei Shuhai sighed, and the shadow of the lamp swayed in the wine glass, as if he had returned to the days in the countryside.
Life was poor at that time, and the porridge was thin and clear enough to reflect the shadow of the lamp. The shadows were hazy, and around the table were the young Wei's father and mother, as well as three brothers and sisters.
As people get older, they become more nostalgic, and he softened his heart.
After drinking three cups of light wine, Wei Shujiang began to talk about his experiences over the years.
"After returning to Hong Kong from the mainland, my youngest son fell ill and died. The hospital diagnosed it as scarlet fever. The child cried for several days before finally passing away."
Talking about his young son who died young, Wei Shujiang couldn't help wiping away tears.
"After the child died, Xiaoxia and I had more and more conflicts. She was a Hong Kong woman, and her thinking was much more open than ours, so she divorced me."
"I raised two sons by myself. I had to take care of the shop and the family at the same time. Fortunately, the children are doing well. Xiaoxia also helps take care of them from time to time."
"Now, I've finally made it. Both my children have grown up and are in college. Although they may not have great prospects, they can support themselves."
"I have leukemia and the doctor said I don't have much chance of survival, so I went back to the mainland to have a look."
Wei Shujiang smiled with tears in his eyes. In his life, every page he opened was filled with bitterness.
"My dick!"
Hearing this, Wei's mother could no longer hold back and hugged her youngest son with sobs.
"My dick!"
Her heart ached and she felt so sorry for her son.
"Mom, calm down. The most urgent thing now is to see my second brother."
Wei Shuqing was afraid that the old lady would be too emotional and something bad would happen to her. After all, she was in her seventies and her moods couldn't fluctuate so much.
The Queen Mother also hurried to comfort her elder sisters: "Yes, the children are right. I know you care about the second child, but you must take care of yourself first, otherwise you will add more burdens to the second child! "
"Mom, don't cry." Wei Shujiang also hurried to comfort her, "You are tearing out your son's heart."
Mother Wei quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves: "Shujiang, your little sister is right. We can treat it, go to the capital, go to a foreign country, and we will be able to cure it."
"Grandma, my dad..."
Wei Shuai wanted to tell the truth to avoid wasting money.
Suffering is the best training for a person. The child who had no upbringing in childhood, after experiencing independent life after the breakdown of his parents' marriage, slowly got back on track.
However, Wei Jun quickly stopped him: "Grandma, you are right. If we work together as a family, we can always find a way."
He knew that Wei Shujiang's illness was beyond recovery.
But it is always good to give the elderly and the whole family some hope.
What if.
Wei Shujiang and his two sons settled down in the courtyard of Wei's mother and Wang's mother.
Wei Shuqing and Wei Shuhai, brother and sister, discussed the placement of Wei Shujiang and his son.
"Da Hu has already asked Xiao Shuai and Xiao Jun, and the two children do not plan to stay in the mainland."
Both children grew up in Hong Kong and are used to the life there. Their friends and classmates are all there, and they also have a job there. Naturally, they are unwilling to stay in the mainland.
But Wei Shujiang, like fallen leaves returning to their roots, no longer wants to go back.
He held Wei Shuhai's hand and begged his elder brother to bury him next to Wei's father's grave.
"I feel guilty towards my father. I must atone for my sins even if I die."
Wei Shujiang made up his mind that he would not go back with his sons.
The sons really couldn't afford to leave their old father behind in the mainland, and finding a job was also a problem. For a while, they were in a dilemma.
"We can't force children. They have their own lives and their own choices."
Wei Shuqing sighed. No one had expected that Wei Shujiang came back to see his family for the last time.
But she was also troubled by this dilemma. She was really in a dilemma and couldn't have it all.
Fortunately, this predicament did not last long.
A fashionable woman with dyed blonde hair walked into the yard carrying a designer bag.
"Excuse me, is this the Wei family?"
"You are……"
Nanny Xiao Xu was dazzled by the rich attire of the person in front of her.
