Chapter 36: Farewell
Chapter 36: Farewell
Wang Shu is the kind of guy who says what he wants, when he wants. As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters.
Whether they want to listen or not is up to them!
If you don't want to listen, I'll just walk away!
This is his philosophy for living a carefree life.
After all, how else could he have lived to be over ninety years old?
Wang Shu spoke quickly, and although Sui Sui was able to understand him at first, it didn't take long for her ears and brain to get left behind.
Sui Sui really wanted to raise her hand and say, "I can't keep up, Uncle. Please slow down."
But she was too tired, and before long, she fell asleep.
Wang Shu: ?
Unbothered, Wang Shu continued on.
More than half an hour later, when Sui Sui's breathing had evened out, Wang Shu finally stopped, still feeling like he had more to say.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Sui Sui's head.
["Good night, Sui Sui."]
["I hope my story gives you more courage!"]
The next day was clear and sunny.
Qing Wang and Liu Dafu started packing early in the morning.
They were preparing to set off back to the capital that day.
Although Sun Fu didn't want to see them go, Qing Wang had to return to the capital to report back, so he couldn't very well ask them to stay any longer.
Upon hearing the news, Sun Ronglin burst into tears at the thought of his friends leaving.
But his crying didn't change the adults' decision.
In the end, Sun Ronglin could only watch them sadly: "How about I feed my sister today?"
Seeing that Feng Xuanrui was ignoring him, Sun Ronglin's voice took on a crying tone: "If I don't feed her today, I don't know when the next time will be!"
The night before, he had asked his mother if he could go to the capital.
He remembered that his cousins were all in the capital.
But his mother had said no!
His father had already settled down in Hezhou, and it wouldn't be long before the two of them would have to go join him.
Sun Ronglin didn't want his father; he only wanted his sister!
The little chubby boy looked truly pitiful.
Although Feng Xuanrui had a soft heart, he still didn't forget to ask Sui Sui: "Sister, do you want him to feed you?"
Actually, Sui Sui only wanted her brother to feed her. If her brother wasn't available, she would just feed herself.
The night before, she had just heard Uncle Wang Shu's story.
Sometimes, you just have to be brave and speak up.
Especially when it comes to saying "no."
But Ronglin had been so good to her, how could she refuse? Wouldn't that make him sad?
Thinking of this, Sui Sui obediently nodded: "I'll listen to my brother."
Feng Xuanrui hadn't been particularly happy about it at first, but upon hearing Sui Sui's words, his eyebrows shot up in delight, and he shot a triumphant look at Sun Ronglin.
That look seemed to be saying: See? She only agreed because it was me!
Sun Ronglin didn't care about Feng Xuanrui's small triumph at all.
He only knew that he got to feed his sister!
He was happy!
The little chubby boy had never served anyone before, and when he ate, he still needed servants to watch him, or else he would make a mess of things.
But when it came to Sui Sui, Sun Ronglin was careful and attentive: "Sister, is it too hot?"
"Has it cooled down yet?"
"Is this bite too big?"
"Is this posture comfortable for you to eat in?"
...
Sui Sui obediently sat there, nodding: "It's fine, Brother Ronglin."
"Thank you, Brother Ronglin."
"This is good."
The little girl still called him "Brother Ronglin" instead of just "Brother."
This made Sun Ronglin feel a little dejected.
But he didn't stay sad for long.
Although he had never fed anyone before, sometimes you had to experience the joy of feeding someone yourself before you could truly feel that sense of satisfaction.
Sun Ronglin was satisfied, but the Qiu brothers were standing by, their eyes full of sorrow as they watched him.
Sun Ronglin: ...!
I can't see, I can't see!
After lunch, Sui Sui and her group were ready to depart.
Sun Ronglin felt as if his newfound happiness had suddenly shattered into pieces.
He pouted, his big tears welling up in his eyes, feeling that the next second, they would fall.
Sui Sui didn't seem to be affected and merely obediently followed Feng Xuanrui, afraid that she would be left behind.
Having rarely had a brother who loved and cared for her, she didn't want to be the one left behind!
So, she stayed close to her brother!
Liu Dafu carefully inspected the items they needed for their journey and expressed his gratitude to the Sun Manor's steward for preparing snacks. Then, he prepared to carry the two children back to the horse-drawn carriage.
They needed to set off early to reach the next town before dark and settle down properly.
Otherwise, staying in the wilderness with two children wouldn't be very pleasant!
In the end, Sun Ronglin's tears fell, and he pulled on Sui Sui's hand, refusing to let her go.
The Qiu brothers also wiped their tears on the side.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanrui became anxious.
Were they trying to take his sister away from him?
The tense young boy tightly held onto Sui Sui's hand.
The warm and clean little hand gave Sui Sui a sense of security.
She thought, her brother probably didn't want to leave her behind!
How nice!
Thinking of this, Sui Sui shrunk back a little behind Feng Xuanrui.
Her small action was infinitely magnified in Sun Ronglin's eyes.
Even before they parted ways, his sister already didn't like him!
Wow!!!
The young boy's crying shook the heavens, and Sun Zhifu felt embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
In the end, it was up to Liu Dafu to comfort the children: "You're only temporarily separating. In the future, you'll still have the opportunity to play together."
"Even if you can't play together, you can still write letters to each other."
"Study hard, learn more words, and strive to exchange letters every month."
"Think about it, there's another sister in the capital, waiting for your reply. Isn't your motivation to study even stronger now?"
...
Sun Ronglin and the others were still young and relatively easy to appease.
Liu Dafu's words were roundabout and comforting.
However, they managed to soothe the three children.
With the impending farewell, Sun Ronglin finally stopped crying and brought out a large box of toys: "These are for my sister!"
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Xuanrui as if guarding against thieves: "Only my sister is allowed to play with them!"
Feng Xuanrui almost chuckled out loud. He thought: "Do I look like I'd want your broken toys?"
Once they returned to the manor, he would find the best toys for his sister and then throw away Sun Ronglin's gifts. Soon enough, his sister would forget all about him!
Liu Dafu signaled for Feng Xuanrui to remain silent and not say anything to provoke Sun Ronglin, and so he complied and stayed quiet.
Otherwise, the young boys might start crying again!
The children exchanged toys as farewell gifts.
Feng Xuanrui and Sui Sui didn't have anything to give, but Liu Dafu had already prepared gifts for them the previous night.
Sun Shaofu's wife, who had come to see them off, smiled at the well-behaved Sui Sui and took out a bright pendant from her sleeve, gently placing it around Sui Sui's neck.
The auntie was very gentle, and Sui Sui obediently stood there, allowing her to do as she pleased.
Once the pendant was in place, Sun Shaofu's wife gently stroked Sui Sui's little bald head and said softly, "Sui Sui, this pendant has a 'peaceful embroidered ball' on it. It's a popular trinket from my hometown, and I hope that from now on, your days will be peaceful, calm, and joyful."
