Unknown Gentleman:

Hello!Zhan Xinjia.

I am very sorry for not replying in time this time.Your letter is very helpful to me, I learned a lot from it, you are right, in my mother's last life time, I should leave the best side to my mother, let my mother in the last time Have a good time, I did as I did, and my mother was very happy. During this period of time, everyone in our family had a good life, and my mother passed away peacefully in the end.

My mother passed away last week, and we have the habit of "the first seven" in China, so when I received your last letter, I didn't reply immediately.Thank you very much for your enlightenment during this period of time, so that I can spend this time calmly compared to before chatting with you.Both my dad and mom say I've grown up.In fact, I don't want to grow up, I want my mother and father to be by my side, I want a warm home.

After finishing my mother's "first seven", my father began to be busy, and would stay in the office at night to work overtime instead of going home to sleep. My grandmother said that my father was putting his feelings for my mother into Went to work so as not to stay at home without my mother.So, recently, in order to get better care for me, I still live with my grandmother, and my grandmother takes me so that my father can work in the company with peace of mind.However, I think, since my father won't stop to rest by himself, why don't I stay at home, so that my father can go home to rest in order to take care of me in the future?I asked my grandma, and my grandma said, this is an adult's business, let me leave it alone as a child.Unknown gentleman, what do you think I should do?

After my mother's "first seven" passed, I went back to school and started class. I took a long vacation from school to accompany my mother. Now, after I go back, I feel very difficult, especially math. I can't understand the teacher. Speaking of topics and theories, the monthly exam also broke through the lowest point in history. The teachers and classmates were very surprised, because my grades have never been so bad.I felt a lot of pressure, and I felt that if I continued like this, I would just have to take a break and wait until the next semester to read it all over again.I told my head teacher about this idea, and she thought it was feasible, but I had to discuss it with my dad before finalizing it.It's just that if this is the case, I won't be able to graduate with my current classmates, which is a pity.

For this matter, I went to my father's company to find my father who was in a meeting. This was the first time I went to my father's company after my mother passed away. The secretary took me to my father's office. I still Sitting in the place where I used to sit with my mother and wait for my father to get off work - in my father's office, a small house was specially decorated for the convenience of my mother and I waiting for her.Not long after, my dad came back, and I saw that my dad had thick dark circles under his eyes. I think my dad hadn't rested for a long time.I went out, and my dad regained a little bit of energy when he saw me. I told my dad what I thought. My dad thought about it for a long time. It was so long that I felt that my dad would not agree to my request. My dad Only then did I agree.

After returning to my grandma's house, I told my grandma the result of my discussion with my father, and my grandma also agreed very much.Now that I have suspended school and am staying at home, I am planning to go out with my grandma to see the mountains and rivers in China, so as to relax and relax the depressed mood that has been suppressed for so long.Actually, I don’t really want to go, after all, my mother is gone. In the past, our family of three and my grandmother would go out together. Now, the carved railings and jade bricks are still there, but it’s just a red face.The mood to go out and play is not what it used to be.

By the way, after talking so much, I forgot to ask about your recent situation. According to the time, you should be ready to start middle school, right?I searched some situations in Japan on the Internet, and saw that you can participate in various club activities at school. I am really envious. In China, except for elementary school, which is relatively loose, middle school and after middle school, We students have to work hard for the entrance exam and give up some of our hobbies, so we have the title of "examination machine", isn't it?

I hope that when I receive your next letter, I can hear about your wonderful life in junior high school. I wish you and your family good health, all the best, and a happy new year.Looking forward to your next letter!
