Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 178 Farewell

Li Zhendong, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes, blinked and asked: "Eggs will do, why do we need to cook noodles and dumplings?"

Jiang Li blinked mischievously: "Because... the main theme is luxury!"

"What others have, our little Zhendong must have too!"

"You wait at home, clean the table and wait for me."

Jiang Li got up, took the shopping basket and walked out. Li Zhendong raised his red eyes, nodded seriously, then wiped his tears and nose, washed his hands, wiped the table and washed the pot.

Jiang Li quickly came back from shopping, and then washed, chopped, and kneaded the meat, busy as ever. Li Zhendong knew how to make dumplings and how to light a fire and boil water, and the two of them helped each other, and soon a bowl of longevity noodles and two plates of dumplings were served on the table.

Jiang Li made this noodle with great care, not only putting an egg in it, but also sprinkling chopped green onions and pouring hot oil on it, which is delicious and tasty, making people's appetite increase as soon as they smell it. And the dumplings were also made with pork and green onion fillings, which Li Zhendong coveted the most. Each one was pinched big and plump, like a gold ingot.

Li Zhendong ate the egg first. As soon as the egg was put into his mouth, Li Zhendong's eyes turned red again. Afraid of being seen by Jiang Li, he quickly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of noodles, and then stuffed another dumpling.

Li Zhendong kept his head down and focused on eating. At first, he only dared to cry secretly, but when Jiang Li patted his shoulder, he finally couldn't control himself and burst into tears.

It seemed like the tears would never stop flowing. All the hardships, grievances and the misery of being unloved in the past year were finally poured out under Jiang Li's comfort.

Li Zhendong cried until his clothes were soaked, and then he felt a little embarrassed. He wiped away his snot and tears with his sleeves, stopped crying, and said seriously: "Sister, I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future."

Jiang Li smiled and rubbed his furry head: "Silly Zhendong, I treat you well, not for you to repay me."

"Mencius said, 'When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, deprive him of all want, and make his plans frustrated. This is to stimulate his mind and harden his nature, and to enable him to do what he was not capable of before.'"

"You must remember that God lets you suffer now in order to sharpen you and train you, so that when you become a superior person in the future you will not forget your roots and lose your way."

“When you are suffering, don’t forget that there is light ahead. When you stand in the sunshine in the future, don’t forget to pull those below you up.”

Li Zhendong was only eleven years old that year, but he always remembered Jiang Li's words deeply, which is why he did so much charity work in the future, doing small charity work when he made little money, and doing big charity work when he made a lot of money. Because there was someone who helped him without expecting anything in return when he fell into darkness and suffering.

Days passed by, Jiang Li went to many places, and finally got some results. One day, she came home happily and called Li Zhendong to her side.

"I have found a school for you. You will go there to study from tomorrow. The teacher will provide lunch at noon, and you can go back home in the evening."

Li Zhendong went to school for a few years when he was a child, but later he stopped because his family was poor. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to go back to school.

"I paid for your tuition for six years. For the next few years, you should study hard in the academy."

Li Zhendong was shocked when he heard that Jiang Li paid six years' tuition in one go.

"Sister, you...how come you pay so much at once!"

Even when he was in school before, the tuition was paid every few months. I have never seen anyone pay for six years at once!

"Because..." Jiang Li looked at him, hiding the dim light in her eyes and smiled, "Because I'm afraid that I'll spend all your tuition if I'm not careful! So it's better to pay it early!"

Jiang Li said this lightly, but she was actually very sad. She was too worried that Li Zhendong would become a helpless child after she left, so she wanted to make sure Li Zhendong's life and study were settled before she left. Jiang Li had carefully selected this teacher, who had a very good reputation outside and was known for loving his students like his own children. She believed that after she was gone, she would definitely take good care of Li Zhendong because he was alone and helpless.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

In fact, my sister is the same!

The next day, Li Zhendong went to school happily. It was not until that morning that Jiang Li took out the extremely ugly schoolbag. There was no other way. I had never used an embroidery needle before. I had to learn it from the aunt next door. It was good enough that I could sew it successfully. I was still working late into the night to check for leaks and finally sewed the hole.

Although the schoolbag had rough stitching, it was the most precious gift in Li Zhendong's heart. Unfortunately, the schoolbag was burned in the later displacement, which became Li Zhendong's lifelong regret.

Li Zhendong knew that Jiang Li really treated him as a family member, and this school also cost her a lot of money and effort, so Li Zhendong worked extra hard at school. When the teacher asked him to practice three pages of characters, he practiced five pages. During class breaks, other students were playing and fighting, but he did not go out to play with them. Instead, he grabbed the teacher to ask for help with homework. He really cherished this hard-won opportunity.

At the same time, Jiang Li has been working very hard recently, and she doesn't even take a break at noon. Before, it was to support Li Zhendong, but now, it is to leave more money for Li Zhendong. She is the person who loves snacks the most, but recently she doesn't eat much, and she has spent a lot of money.

Jiang Li always wanted to go back earlier, but now she hopes to go back later. Whenever she thinks about Li Zhendong's lonely life in the future, Jiang Li feels that she is not prepared enough.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to face separation in the end.

Until that day, she saw her grandmother, Lu Xiaoqi, who was only a teenager now, come to the department store with her parents to pick out gifts. She chose a plum-red cheongsam and bought a padded jacket, saying that she would wear them to the photo studio to take pictures in two days. Jiang Li knew that the day of separation would eventually come.

That night, Jiang Li called Li Zhendong into the room and started giving him a vaccination.

Jiang Li moved the wardrobe away, pushed open a brick behind it, and took out a cloth bag from it.

The cloth bag unfolded to reveal Jiang Li's entire fortune, including the gold jewelry she was wearing when she traveled through time, and the salary she had earned during this period. In addition, she also sold the couple watch that she and Li Mubai bought together in Switzerland at a high price and exchanged it for cash for Li Zhendong to keep in his bottom drawer.

"Xiao Zhendong, this is all our family's belongings. I'm leaving it here for you. If you need money in the future, you can come here to get it, but don't let anyone find out, understand?"

When Li Zhendong saw Jiang Li showing him all her assets, he felt excited and nervous for a moment.

He was excited because Jiang Li was really open and honest with him, but he was nervous because he wondered why Jiang Li told him all this so seriously. Did something happen to her?

"Sister...Sister, if I need money, can't I just ask you for it?"

"you……"

Jiang Li looked at him, but couldn't bear to tell him that she was leaving.

"I'm afraid that one day I'm not around and you can't find me and need money urgently."

So that's how it is. Li Zhendong looked at her and smiled innocently: "Then why don't I just wait for you?"

Jiang Li looked at him, and her throat choked for a moment: "Wait... don't wait, sister doesn't want you to wait too long."
