Chapter 407 Companionship and Loneliness
Sighing, Yu Qiulan gave a wry smile. How could she be told by a junior that she wanted to cry? I am afraid that she remembered some things in the past, and now she would feel pity for people in the same situation!
With Li Bu's previous words as a basis, Yu Qiulan relaxed a lot at this time and began to tell Li Bu some interesting things. From time to time, there would also be a few sad enough things.
With such a start, Li Bu smiled slightly, which proved that Yu Qiulan almost wanted to face sad things. From Yu Qiulan who didn't want to say anything at first, to now she can talk about sadness.
Small things, this is the best start.
When Yu Qiulan talked about happy things, Li Bu would laugh along with her; when she talked about sad things, Li Bu would feel sad along with her.
But sometimes Li Bu can't tell what is happy and what is sad. When Yu Qiulan talks about his sad things, Li Bu accidentally laughs, causing Yu Qiulan to be stunned.
, then he apologized and said at the same time: "It's interesting, isn't it? This is who I used to be, very embarrassing and a joke!"
Fortunately, Qiulan is also slowly accepting it. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Li Bu will be kicked out.
The point is not that Li Bu laughed out loud, but that the tone of Yu Qiulan's words was so interesting that even when he told jokes about his own embarrassment, he couldn't help but make people laugh, which also led to Li Bu's attitude towards Yu Qiulan.
So sad and a little confused.
The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the young man had already sat down, listening to the old lady Yu telling stories about his past like Li Bu.
It's just that Yu Qiulan didn't mention her son on this day, and even the more serious sad things happened to her, maybe she still couldn't accept it, or because of Li Bu's laughter during the day, the old lady was a little afraid of Li Bu's ridicule, etc.
The reason may be the reason why Yu Qiulan didn't say it.
But for Li Bu, this is already a big change. For such things, it needs to be done step by step. No one can change it in a short time. There must be a process.
At this time, the neighbors around Yu Qiulan's house became curious?
"It's strange, why didn't this old lady scream today? Could it be that something happened?" This is Yu Qiulan's neighbor, a woman who once grew up under Yu Qiulan's stories, and is now thirty years old.
Just listen to her asking the man next to her.
The man snorted coldly and said, "Isn't that great? I can finally have a good sleep today. It's so rare. I hope it can be like this every day!"
After saying this, the man lay on the bed with his eyes closed, looking very peaceful.
The woman frowned: "How about we go take a look? What if something really happens? My heart is going up and down, and I'm a little uneasy."
The woman was really worried, but the man seemed a little unconcerned and replied: "What are you looking at? Is there anything good to see? Go to bed, won't you work tomorrow? I've been exhausted this day, and I don't want to see anything good today."
I feel disturbed by anything.”
The neighbors on the other side all had the same idea as the woman, thinking that the old lady might have fallen at home and was left unattended.
However, although they all had such an idea, no one went to see it. They all hoped that the first person to discover it would not be themselves, but someone else. In this way, they would avoid getting into trouble.
Returning to Yu Qiulan's home, Yu Qiulan smiled and told happy stories to the young man in front of Li Bu.
"Hey! There are many more things like this. I am willing to tell you. When you reach my age, you will understand how I feel now." Yu Qiulan said after finishing the last thing.
Li Bu nodded, and then looked at the time. It was already very late, but Mrs. Yu didn't shout today, nor was she as weird as yesterday. Instead, she seemed as calm and kind as during the day.
Li Bu discovered this and asked, "Senior Yu, how do you feel now? Do you still feel the same as you did yesterday?"
When Yu Qiulan was asked this question by Li Bu, she remembered what she had done last night, and then replied with a wry smile: "Hey! Grandma is really happy today."
Li Bu looked at the young man and gave him a "you know" look, which meant to tell him that this method is feasible.
"It's good if you don't have any. You still lack someone with whom you can talk and accompany you." Li Bu said the key question in one sentence. This sentence seemed to wake up the young man.
Although this sentence is very common, it is new to the young man who has never heard it before. He also admired Li Bu for a while. It turns out that what Yu old lady needs is not the proper venting, but someone to accompany her.
Man, this is probably what Li Bu wants to tell him, right?
Following Li Bu's words, Yu Qiulan couldn't help but think of what her son said to her when he was very young: "Mom, when you get old, I will take care of you just like you do now!
"
As this memory began, Yu Qiulan once again thought of the last scene after her son left: "Everything today, today's achievements, today's official position, I learned bit by bit on my own.
Yes, it has nothing to do with you!"
Yu Qiulan sold iron and spent almost all her money to send her son to a private school to be a scholar, but what she got in exchange was such alienation, which made her inadvertently shed tears in front of Li Bu and the boy.
Seeing this, Li Bu asked: "Senior Yu, have you thought of something? Can you tell me? We can also help you share your worries."
The young man nodded and followed Li Bu's example and began to comfort the old lady.
It was only at this moment that the young man finally understood how terrifying true loneliness is.
I thought that loneliness was just about doing your own thing, feeling free and happy, but I didn't expect that loneliness is different for people of different ages. Only now did the young man understand that the loneliness he had been feeling was simply too ordinary.
In response to Li Bu's question, Yu Qiulan did not answer, but smiled and shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I'm crying tears of joy. It's been so long since there has been no one who can accompany me for such a long time."
When Li Bu heard this, he immediately laughed: "That's for sure! No matter who you are, you will rarely be happy after being alone for a long time."
"Anyway, senior, if you have something unhappy, just say it. It will be much better if you say it. Keeping it in your heart is not good for your health." Li Bu comforted him.
Yu Qiulan nodded: "That's for sure. It's getting late. You should go back quickly! Otherwise, it won't be safe on the road."
Li Bu looked at the sky, then stood up and said, "That's better than the old man, so I'll go back first. I'll come to talk to you tomorrow morning and have a good sleep. I guess you haven't had a peaceful sleep in a long time."
Have you slept yet?"
Yu Qiulan smiled and nodded, and then Li Bu and the boy walked out of the courtyard. Under Yu Qiulan's kind eyes, they gradually left here.
When the young man returned home, Li Bu naturally walked in the direction of Mo Xiang's house. Unfortunately, they didn't know that someone had already seen what was happening outside the hospital.
After the man returned home, people from several families were sitting in the yard.
He said: "I found a man and a boy walking out of the old lady's house. I think these two guys must have done nothing good! The old lady didn't shout anything today. This is simply too abnormal."
