Chapter 749: True Freedom

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi knew that Su Shen was preparing for a long journey. Rising early the next day, she busied herself in the kitchen. She intended to prepare some food for the man to eat on the road, as well as some everyday snacks.

Gu Zi had a premonition. This trip of his would likely take some time. By preparing extra food for him to take along, she hoped to provide some comfort for him when he missed home, giving him something tangible to hold onto.

Su Bing woke up early in the morning to review his lessons. As he went downstairs to water the flowers, he heard noises coming from the kitchen. Glancing at the wall clock in the living room, he noted that it was only six o’clock. Why was his mother preparing breakfast so early today?

With curiosity piqued, Su Bing approached the kitchen. On the counter, he saw three lunch boxes. These boxes were specially designed by his mother to make it easier for them to carry meals to school. Each box was divided into several compartments for soup, rice, and dishes. Once the lid was secured, even if the box was tossed around, the food inside would not mix.

The food would remain as it was packed, even after the box was opened. His mother had mentioned that these boxes were also ideal for long journeys, picnics, or trips, making them incredibly convenient. Su Bing had always admired his mother’s ingenuity. However, now that their school had a cafeteria, there was no need for them to bring their own meals. Why was his mother using these lunch boxes? Was someone in the family going on a trip? Could it be his father?

Su Bing also noticed dozens of dumplings shaped like gold ingots on the kitchen counter. His mother was preparing a steamer, likely to steam the dumplings. As he moved closer, he saw the food packed in the three lunch boxes. It was indeed a feast.

The first lunch box, large and with many compartments, contained five golden meat patties, five shrimp dumplings, a serving of mixed grain rice, seafood mushroom soup, and a jar of mixed fruit preserves made by his mother.

The second lunch box was filled with fried chicken legs, chips, and fries. Thoughtfully, she had squeezed ketchup and honey into the empty spaces. This box also included a jar of fruit preserves. The third lunch box was filled with popcorn. Beside it was a bag of stomach-soothing candies made by his mother, which could be eaten as is or dissolved in water…

Su Shen didn’t need Gu Zi to accompany him, but she insisted on doing so. Su Shen didn’t refuse. He had his own selfish reasons. He wanted to spend more time with Gu Zi, even if it was just for the short time it took to see him off. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

He had read the letter and understood Gu Zi’s worries. This trip might not be easy to get away from. The higher-ups wouldn’t let him go easily, but he couldn’t not go.

Because if he didn’t go, he wouldn’t gain true freedom. For Gu Zi and their home, he had to go, to meet with the leader and once again express his choice.

At the train station, when it was time to part, the usually cheerful Su Li became gloomy. Seeing her father board the train and look out the window at them, her mother also looked at her father. Although her mother was smiling, the little girl suddenly burst into tears. It seemed she had sensed the unspoken reluctance between her parents…
