The weather is unusually cold, but fortunately it didn't snow today, and the roads have been cleared, but pedestrians still have to be very careful when walking. If the soles of your shoes are not slip-resistant enough or there are no anti-slip devices installed, it is very easy to slip and fall.

As usual, Li Ke spent one work point to buy a small bowl of noodles. Xia Qing and Meng Yu were very disapproving of Li Ke's frugal eating.

Both of them are around 26 or 27 years old, several years older than Li Ke. They now treat the new member Li Ke as their own sister.

Xia Qing was about to pass the meat and vegetables in her lunch box to Li Ke, saying, "How can you eat so little? You had such a strong training session in the morning, and you have things to do in the afternoon. You must eat more!"

Li Ke took a step ahead of her and covered her own bowl to stop Xia Qing's actions. She knew she would do this.

"Sister Xia, this is enough for me! I'll go back to my house later to rest. If I'm hungry, I can just have some snacks. I don't have much appetite right now, so it would be a waste if you give it to me."

After dinner, they can go home and rest for an hour. Li Ke plans to use this time to reward her stomach.

Seeing Li Ke's insistence, Xia Qing withdrew her action, but still said with concern: "Okay, we won't be polite with you, but if you really can't eat well, you can also tell me, and then the three of us will get together to cook and have a good meal. Your sister Meng and I also have a lot of delicious food in our room. If you run out of your stock, come to us."

Meng Yu also nodded repeatedly. The two female captains lived together, had similar personalities, and had a very close relationship.

The three were talking happily when a figure suddenly appeared beside them. Li Ke turned her head and saw that the person was looking for her. It was her cousin Li Meng.

Li Meng did not agree to Wang Zhuo last night, and she did not think of bothering Li Ke. Her life had been a mess these years, and she missed her childhood more and more. At that time, she liked Li Ke the most, and she was always happy with this sister because she listened to her and depended on her.

But after his grandfather passed away and his grandmother moved in, the atmosphere at home became worse and worse. She was in the critical period of her second and third years of junior high school and could not win over the adults in the family.

The pressure from studying was great and the adults were in a weird mood, so she selfishly and timidly hid herself away from the public.

She just saw Li Ke while getting her meal and she felt a little unable to walk. Li Ke has changed a lot now. Li Meng is really happy for her. It's great that she can protect herself well and won't be bullied by others anymore.

She obviously didn't want to disturb her, but she walked over anyway. Li Meng really just wanted to talk to Li Ke again. If Li Ke was annoyed, she would leave immediately.

Li Meng's face was a little cautious. She whispered to Li Ke: "Ke Ke, can I talk to you?"

Li Ke has learned from Jian Ye that Li Meng's child has passed the critical period and is now in much better condition.

Although Li Ke was very ruthless towards He Ru, she still didn't want anything to happen to the child. Jian Ye's news did make her feel slightly relieved.

Li Ke finished the small bowl of noodles in front of him, said hello to Xia Qing and Meng Yu, and then sat down with Li Meng at a row of tables in the corner of the cafeteria.

It was a quiet place with not many people around. The two of them sat opposite each other and didn't speak for a while.

When Li Ke was a child, she liked her cousin Li Meng very much. The age difference between them was not much, and before her uncle and aunt moved to the city, Li Ke and her cousin could be said to have grown up together.

Later, my uncle and aunt took their children to live in the city, and my cousin also went to school in the city, but on weekends, their family would still go back to their hometown to visit their grandparents, and then bring some food and rice back to the city when they left.

By the way, I would also bring back some old clothes, old stationery, and old books that my cousins ​​couldn’t wear anymore for Li Ke.

Li Ke was very happy every time she received such a gift. At that time, most families with many children received such gifts.

When older children can no longer wear new clothes, they are passed on to the next child.

Although those clothes and shoes were worn out, Li Ke still looked clean and tidy, and still very beautiful and comfortable to wear.

There are actually many beautiful things hidden in the old memories. At this moment, Li Ke couldn't help but miss the carefree days of his childhood.

"I'm sorry!" Li Meng was the first to apologize.

"My apology only represents myself, not my mother." Li Meng followed up. Li Meng knew that her mother would not apologize, but as her daughter, she was not qualified to apologize on her mother's behalf.

Although her mother was not nice to Li Ke, she loved her daughter wholeheartedly. If she apologized for her mother behind her back, it would only make her mother sad. Li Meng could not do such a thing.

Although the love her mother gave her sometimes made her feel suffocated, Li Meng had no choice because her mother only had her now.

Li Ke thought about it and didn't quite understand why Li Meng wanted to apologize to her?

There is only a two-year age difference between them. Before her uncle passed away, Li Ke and her cousin had always had a very good relationship.

But after my uncle passed away, my aunt was very sad and kept shouting and cursing that it was Li Ke who killed my uncle. It was probably at that time that Li Meng started to ignore Li Ke and her attitude towards Li Ke and grandmother became increasingly cold.

Li Ke actually felt very guilty at that time. She was almost brainwashed by her aunt and believed that she was the one who really killed her uncle. So she actually had a very saintly understanding of her cousin's estrangement at that time.

After she followed Li Zhenzhen into the Chen family and slowly adapted to the new environment, the memories of her time in the Li family slowly settled deep in her heart and she rarely thought of them again.

She actually didn't quite understand Li Meng's apology at this moment. In her memory, Li Meng didn't seem to have done anything wrong to her, he just distanced himself from her.

"Why do you want to apologize to me?" Li Ke asked

"It's probably because of my ignorance when I was a child. I have always liked you, Keke. Until now, I always dream about our childhood. At that time, I always thought that we would be the best sisters forever.

Now that I'm older, I realize how much we treated you differently back then, and how hurtful it was to a little kid!

I remember that when I was a child, my parents would take you home to play during the holidays. I was very happy that you could come and play with me.

Mom and Dad piled up a big basin of dirty clothes and shoes at home and asked you to wash them. At that time, I was also very playful and was actually glad in my heart that I didn’t have to do these things.

I never thought that they should not enslave you when you were young. You were so silly at that time. You were so happy every time you came. Even if you were wronged, you would still come over the next time I missed you.

The weather was very hot during the summer vacation, and the house we lived in was like a baking oven. My mother took my brother and me into the master bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, and watched TV and ate watermelon.

You knocked on the door and wanted to come in, but no one of us paid any attention to you.

The whole family went to the movies together. When we arrived at the cinema, they only bought four tickets. They even lied to you and said that the cinema had no tickets left and asked you to sit and wait for us at the door.

On this hot afternoon, I can’t even bear to buy you an ice pop.

There are many little things like this, and every time I think of them, I feel guilty.

I really wish I could go back to my childhood and be a sister who can protect you and take good care of you.

Because I always remember how happy we were together when we were little. At that time, we went to buy goat milk together, stole the neighbor's puppy together, and lay on the small bamboo bed to watch the stars in the summer. When I felt wronged, I would force you to run away from home with me.

You were very timid when you were little. You would cry whenever I threatened you, but every time when I was about to be beaten, you would still cry and stand in front of me, not wanting me to get beaten.

We also agreed that when we grow up, we will buy a small villa together. I will live in the left half and you will live in the right half. We will plant beautiful flowers around the villa and live the princess-like life we ​​want.

Later, I failed the college entrance examination, studied computer for a year, found a random job and worked for more than a year, then got married and lived a life that was not happy at all.

I don’t want to get married at all, and I don’t want to be a mother so early. I feel that I am not grown up yet and I don’t have the ability to be a good mother.

But everyone around me was urging me to get married and have children quickly. I did everything they asked me to do, but I was not happy at all.

I really miss our childhood, but I am also glad that you followed your mother at that time. If you continued to stay in our family, you would definitely suffer more grievances and injustices.

I'm sorry, as your sister, I failed to give you the love and care you deserved, and I really regret it."
