I decided to continue selling soy milk.
I told this decision to Sister.
Sister hesitated for a moment and handed all the money to me.
I said, "Sister, you believe in me, I can definitely make money."
Sister looked at me, paused for a while, and nodded.
With the money Sister gave me, I went to the street to buy materials.
My business was doing well; many people liked my tofu.
I was busy every day, but I was very happy.
When I returned home, Sister was always waiting at the door.
When she saw me, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, "Zhao Di, you're back?"
I nodded, "Yeah!"
I took out a paper bag and handed it to Sister.
"Sister, try this."
Sister took the paper bag and asked curiously, "What is this?"
I replied, "He Shun Zhai's Red Date and Walnut Cake."
Sister frowned and said, "Isn't this expensive?"
"Yeah," I nodded, "but it's delicious."
Sister sighed, "It's not easy for you to make money; don't buy these things in the future."
I said, "Sister, I want you to have something good."
Sister smiled, "As long as you have that intention, it's enough."
She opened the paper bag, took out the cake, and took a bite.
She nodded, "It's quite tasty."
I smiled and said, "Right?"
"Yeah."
Sister ate the cake while looking at me.
She said, "Zhao Di, you've lost a lot of weight."
I touched my face and asked, "Really?"
"Yes."
"Maybe I've just been too tired lately."
"Don't work too hard."
"I know."
I smiled.
Sister smiled too.
Her smile was very gentle.
"Sister," said, "Zhao Di, I feel very happy right now."
"Why?"
"Because I have you."
I smiled and replied, "Sister, so do I."
Sister looked at me with eyes full of compassion.
She said, "Zhao Di, you have suffered."
I shook my head, "Not really."
"Compared to me, it's not suffering."
Sister sighed.
She lowered her head to look at the cake, silent.
I knew she was thinking about our mother again.
I said, "Sister, if Mother knew you were doing well now, she would be very happy."
Sister looked up at me, "Really?"
"Yes," I nodded vigorously, "Mother loved you the most."
Sister's eyes turned red.
She held back her tears and nodded.
She said to me, "Zhao Di, I will live well."
"Yes!"
I hugged Sister.
Sister hugged me back.
In each other's embrace, we drew warmth.
In the evening, Sister and I had dinner together.
Sister made a stew with meat oil.
I drooled.
I quickly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth.
I chewed and enjoyed every bite.
Sister watched me and smiled, "Eat slowly."
I nodded and continued eating the meat.
I had two bowls of rice and my stomach was round and full.
I leaned back in my chair, rubbed my belly, and let out a satisfied burp.
Sister laughed, "Look at you."
I chuckled.
I said to Sister, "If you opened a restaurant, your business would definitely be great."
Sister laughed, "Why?"
"Because your cooking is so delicious."
"You're so sweet-tongued."
I smiled and said, "I'm just speaking the truth."
Sister looked at me with eyes full of affection.
She said, "Zhao Di, I'm really grateful to have you by my side."
"I'm also grateful to have Sister with me."
"Mm."
Sister smiled softly.
She lowered her head and fell silent for a moment.
She whispered, "Was Mother... in pain when she left?"
My heart tightened.
I looked at Sister.
With her head down, I couldn't see her expression.
I softly replied, "Mother... was very peaceful when she left."
That was a lie.
When Mother left, her body was convulsing, trembling uncontrollably.
She was in so much pain that she was drenched in sweat, crying out endlessly.
She grasped my hand and said with great difficulty, "Zhao Di... live well..."
I held back my tears and nodded.
I told Sister, "Mother also said for you to live well."
Sister nodded.
She lifted her head to look at me.
Tears were streaming down her face.
She forced a smile.
She said, "I will live well."
