Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Chapter 17 Let's Think Together

After the photos are pasted in.

Li Jianjian immediately looked at the photo and pointed to the people in it, saying, "Brother Ji Yuan, this is a photo of the uncle upstairs."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Li Jianjian then noticed a little girl in the photo whom she had never seen before.

"They have a little sister, but I haven't seen her."

Li Jianjian asked curiously.

"Their little sister may have passed away, just like your mother and my parents."

So, when you meet this uncle's family in the future, you mustn't mention this little sister.

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian and said.

Li Jianjian immediately nodded in understanding: "I understand, Brother Ji Yuan."

Despite her young age, Li Jianjian actually knows quite a lot.

She also understands things like death.

After her mother passed away, Li Haichao told her that her mother had gone to heaven to become a star.

But she knew that her mother was dead.

She knew she had to be sensible, and in front of Li Haichao and outsiders, she was always optimistic, giving the impression that she believed this well-intentioned lie.

However, she spoke many truthful things to Ji Yuan, especially after Ji Yuan's parents passed away.

According to the memories arranged by her adoptive father, Ji Yuan learned about them.

Not long ago, Li Jianjian comforted herself, but her comfort was different from that of the adults.

When adults comfort children, they often tell them a white lie, such as that their parents went to a very far place and turned into stars in the sky.

They don't understand. Actually, many children aren't stupid; they know very well what's going on.

So unlike the adults, when Li Jianjian comforted Ji Yuan, she didn't know how to make up a lie; she just told Ji Yuan the truth.

"Although our parents have passed away, they will always be with us as long as we don't forget them."

"Dad often secretly thinks about his mom."

"Actually, I miss my mom a lot, but I can't let my dad know, otherwise he'll be even more upset, so I can only think about her secretly."

“Brother Ji Yuan, if you ever miss Mom and Dad, let’s miss them together.”

"..."

That day, Li Jianjian talked a lot with Ji Yuan.

When Ji Yuan recalled these memories, he reached out and touched Li Jianjian's head.

Li Jianjian looked at Ji Yuan with a head full of questions.

"It's alright, let's put the things away and return them to the uncles upstairs another time."

Ji Yuan spoke up.

Li Jianjian nodded.

"You can't just throw away photos. Dad has never thrown away Mom's photos."

Li Jianjian spoke in her childlike voice.

Li Jianjian carried the box and placed it under her bed in her room.

……

The two then turned on the TV and started watching it.

Televisions in 99 already had quite a few channels. Although they weren't as fun as smartphones a decade or two later, having television at all was already a great thing back then.

There are still very few animated films these days, but many of them are excellent.

For example, the 99 animated version of Journey to the West was broadcast during the summer vacation of that year.

It seems there aren't any in the afternoon; you'll only be able to see them in the evening.

When Ji Yuan saw this animated film in the original world, it was probably in the early 2000s.

The cartoons from the past were really good; they can still be broadcast and watched even after a few years.

In the future, as times change and technology advances, animated films become increasingly high-quality and technologically advanced, but also increasingly less appealing.

……

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian watched TV for an entire afternoon.

In the evening, after Li Haichao returned home, he started cooking for the two little ones.

Ji Yuan stopped watching TV and went to the kitchen.

When Li Haichao saw Ji Yuan, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Dad Li, you do your thing, I'm just watching."

Ji Yuan answered.

Li Haichao smiled when he heard this: "You want to learn to cook with me?"

Ji Yuan nodded.

"You're still too young. I'll teach you in a couple of years."

Li Haichao said with a smile.

"I'll take a look now."

Ji Yuan knew very well that even if he wanted to take over now, Li Haichao wouldn't agree.

However, we can take a look first.

Take a look more, and you'll get the hang of it faster in the future.

"Okay, then you can take a look."

Li Haichao nodded.

Ignoring Ji Yuan, I started making dinner.

……

Li Haichao prepared dinner, and the three of them sat around the small square table to eat.

After dinner, Ji Yuan stayed in room 202 until night, and when she got sleepy, she went back to sleep across the street.

Apartment 201 and 202 have the same layout, just flipped over.

They all have three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and a balcony.

It's not very big; in the largest master bedroom, once you put in a big bed, there's hardly any room to stand.

Both secondary bedrooms can only fit a single bed, and then a desk.

However, though small, it has all the essential parts.

Ji Yuan always lived in the secondary bedroom near the balcony.

The same applies after one's parents pass away.

Although this secondary bedroom is not as big as the master bedroom, it is still bigger than the other secondary bedroom.

This is the room where Li Jianjian lives at home.

The smallest secondary bedroom in both the Ji family's and the Li family's homes was used as a storage room.

It's not that Ji Yuan dislikes large rooms.

He just prefers a room with a desk, as it's more convenient to do whatever he wants.

For example, if I buy a computer in the future, I'll have a place to put it.

……

After Ji Yuan returned, he first went to the master bedroom and found some cash that the system had left for his parents.

A bankbook and a small amount of cash.

Ji Yuan was directly thrown into the system space.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yuan returned to her room, lay on her bed, and began to plan for the future.

I'm going to stay in this world for the rest of my life.

There should always be some gain.

This refers to gains in skills.

Ji Yuan wants to learn some art-related skills.

However, it might be difficult to make money from this in the future, so we need to find other ways to earn more money.

He doesn't plan to do anything big.

As long as I earn more money, I'll be able to live comfortably in the future.

As Ji Yuan pondered these thoughts, she unknowingly fell asleep.

……

The next day.

After getting up, Ji Yuan washed up and went out.

He took out his keys and opened his neighbor's door.

"Xiao Ji, you've come at the right time. Go and wake up Xiao Jing."

Li Haichao, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the door open and called out.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Ji Yuan responded, closed the door, changed his shoes, and walked through the living room to Li Jianjian's room.

In Li Jianjian's room, there was a princess bed, and on the other side was a bench that could be found everywhere in parks, the kind of bench made of wooden slats.

On the wall near the door, there are some paintings by Li Jianjian.

It's a bit messy, but it's already very good for a child.

Li Jianjian is quite artistic.

Although her academic performance was not very good, she was still admitted to the sculpture department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

This is already quite impressive compared to many other people.
