Perspectives

Jiang Wei was six and a half years old this year, and he was much more mature psychologically than his peers. Not only because of his precocity but also because of his health. He began to build his own world while other children were playing carefreely.

If you were to say he had any serious illness, he didn't. It was just that he had always been physically weak all year round and had frequent minor illnesses. At first, the family thought that there was something wrong with his immune system. But even as they went to various hospitals and invited the top doctors, they couldn't find out the reason.

The doctor could only say that the child was too young, maybe it would improve as he grew up. But the Jiang family couldn't bear to see Jiang Wei so sick.

In the end, Jiang Lan ran to a temple, and when she came back, she gave Jiang Wei a wooden bracelet with intricate patterns carved on it. People would feel dizzy if they stared at it for too long.

It was strange to say that ever since wearing this bracelet, Jiang Wei's had actually gradually improved. Although the recovery was slow, the effect could still be seen. He no longer went to the hospital as often, and at most drank some traditional Chinese medicine. At most he would usually catch a cold, and he couldn't do any strenuous exercises. Other aspects start running in the normal direction.

"Master said, it's best to find a clean and quiet place for Xiao Wei to be raised." Jiang Lan's voice came from the bedroom.

Holding a glass of water in his hand, Jiang Wei stopped and stood at the door.

Father Jiang's voice came from inside again: "I disagree, we can find a place in the capital, and we can still be with Xiao Wei, how can you let him leave home like this?"

"You say no and it's no? Is Xiao Wei's health more important or staying in the capital?" Jiang Lan was a little angry.

"But the education in other places is not as good. If Xiao Wei is allowed to stay there during the winter and summer breaks, he still has to study in the capital."

After a moment of silence in the bedroom, Jiang Lan agreed. "I will stay with Xiao Wei during the winter and summer breaks."

She also knew that it was a small place, and only those who had nothing to do and had reached retirement age would live there.

After listening to his parents inside, Jiang Wei went back to his room in silence with his cup in hand.

During the summer break before be was about to enter First Grade, Jiang Wei was taken to Lugu Mountain. The environment here was good, and more importantly, the hot springs were open all year round, which was especially good for health preservation.

The Jiang Family was rich and powerful, so they directly bought a villa in the well-developed area and leased a mountain top. This mountain was still undeveloped, but there was a natural hot spring on it. It was originally intended to develop into a nursing home, but it was bought by the Jiang Family.

When Jiang Wei first arrived at Lugu Mountain, he couldn't get used to anything. Whether it was the food or the people here.

But he didn't say a word, just kept the boredom hidden deep in his heart.

Going to the hot spring every morning was the most relaxing time for Jiang Wei. It was a bit far from the villa, but the roads were easy to walk. Lugu Mountain itself was not steep or high.

Jiang Lan was also relieved that her son would go to the hot springs, and walking a certain distance every day was considered exercise. She just instructed him not to soak for too long.

Jiang Wei liked to sit under the big ginkgo tree and let himself daydream after soaking.

Although he was young, his mind was sensitive. He understood the outside world easily, and here, it was considered relaxed.

One day Jiang Wei sat under the ginkgo tree as usual, looking at the scenery below, it was quiet and moving.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a branch being trampled off from behind. Jiang Wei thought that his mother had sent someone to look for him, but when he turned around, he saw only a white and tender child of the same age with a big basket in her hand.

The child obviously saw him too, ran straight over, then knelt down and poked him.

Before Jiang Wei frowned, she spoke again: "Are you also here to pick wild fruits?"

Wild fruit? While Jiang Wei paused, the child started to ask again: "Are you sulking?"

It was not that Jiang Wei had no one in the capital to please him. He was the only son of the Jiang family, and there were numerous beautifully dressed, delicate doll-like girls who would always pester him and want to play with him.

Jiang Wei always just watched with cold eyes.

The one in front of him had a ponytail, short sleeves on the upper body, and striped shorts on the lower body, but the clothes were dirty. There were still several red bumps on her fair arms, probably from mosquito bites.

…Looks silly.

Jiang Wei didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but the person in front of him thought of something, turned her head and flipped through the straw basket next to her awkwardly.

Finally, she took out two wild fruits and handed them to him: "I have wild fruits, do you want to eat them?"

Jiang Wei looked at the hand of the person in front of him trying to reach out, and reluctantly took the fruit, but he just took it and didn't move.

"Eat it, it's very delicious." The person on the opposite side seemed rather stupid, with bright eyes, "I don't charge money, it costs two yuan to buy ten pieces!"

Ten pieces cost two yuan, which meant that these two pieces were only 40 cents. Even if Jiang Wei tore a piece of cloth from his body, it would be worth more than that, but he finally started to eat.

The fruit was not big, but it was juicy and sweet. Jiang Wei thought it was much tastier than the fruits his mother brought over by air.

"Sweet or not?"

The fair child opposite didn't seem to know that he was a stranger, and even reached out to touch his face.

Jiang Wei suppressed the urge to knock off the hand extended by the person in front of him, and sat there blankly for her to finish rubbing.

"Did you run out because you were angry with your family?" The child asked why, and tried to lead Jiang Wei up after speaking. However, she could not pick up her broken basket at the same time.

Jiang Wei simply didn't want to get up, but the child didn't pull him up successfully and fell on Jiang Wei directly. The two twisted into a ball and rolled around on the soft ground.

Jiang Wei's original anger was dissipated by the child's flustered look.

The child took his hand, blew it twice and murmured to herself: "Hoo hoo, it doesn't hurt anymore." After speaking, she led Jiang Wei to the wild fruit tree.

The wild fruits looked the same as what Jiang Wei ate just now, and Jiang Wei had been here many times. However, he never thought about eating these wild fruits.

Staring at the little child picking fruit on tiptoe, jumping up from time to time. Jiang Wei couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Thus, he counted it as repaying for the two fruits just now. Thinking, he helped to pick off the fruit on top of her head.

Turning around and seeing the fruit in Jiang Wei's hand, the child's eyes flickered. He had no choice but to continue working as a coolie for free, helping her pick wild fruits.

Jiang Wei thought that today was just one time, but who would have expected that little child would come here to pick wild fruits every day from then on. She thought he had no friends and wanted to play with him.
