On the way back for more than an hour, the familiar smell of the mountain village came to his nose, Li Yan got out of the car, and took a deep breath almost greedily, it was still the original taste, the original recipe.

For more than half a year outside, it was like spending countless years, which made Li Yan feel an unreal feeling, and he was afraid that this feeling would be fleeting.

Ye Meng drove the car directly into the door of Li Yan's house, and when he was in the car, Ye Meng couldn't bear to tell Li Yan that the body of Li Yan's parents was almost to the point of running out of oil and drying up, perhaps, whether this year could pass was a question.

"Dad, Mom!" Looking at the second elder lying on the bed, Li Yan's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

When he was a child, his father always told Li Yan that men don't flick when they have tears, but when he saw his parents lying on the bed, tortured by illness, Li Yan felt a special heartache, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them at all.

"Yan'er is back?" The second elder stood up, and Li Yan hurriedly got up and squatted on the side of the bed.

"The son is not filial, which makes his parents suffer. During this time, the second elder's health deteriorated, and it was difficult to take care of himself, all of which relied on Ye Meng's care bit by bit, which Li Yan knew.

What Li Yan didn't expect was that only half a year had passed, and the second elder's body had actually reached such a point that it was very difficult to even sit up.

"Yan'er, you have to thank Mengzi, if it weren't for him, the two of us probably wouldn't have been able to wait for you to come back. His father's weak voice made Li Yan even more guilty.

"Mengzi, thank you!" Li Yan looked at Ye Meng, showing a grateful look.

Ye Meng shook his head and said, "We are brothers, your parents are my parents, you don't need to thank me." ”

"Anyway, I, as a son, am really incompetent, my parents have been sick in bed for a long time, but I can't be filial by my side. Li Yan said, tears unstoppable.

The mother's withered hand gently wiped away the tears on Li Yan's face, and said distressedly: "Child, you have your affairs to be busy, how can your parents blame you." ”

"Dad!Mom!" Li Yan hugged the second elder, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yan'er, your parents are old and useless, and you can only rely on yourself in the future," his father patted Li Yan's back and continued, "Parents know that you are a very assertive child, and we don't have to worry about anything, my parents only hope that in the future, you will live strong in the days when your parents are not there." ”

Li Yan nodded vigorously.

The father looked at Ye Meng again, "Mengzi, you are Yan'er's good friend, and I hope you can help me in everything." ”

Ye Meng held back his tears, nodded and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will." ”

The father nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Mengzi, you go out first, there are some things we want to talk to Yan'er alone." ”

Ye Meng nodded, and didn't ask why, he went out of the room directly and gently closed the door, but there was a hint of clarity in his heart.

After Ye Meng went out, his father pointed to a leather case in the corner of the room, "Yan'er, you go and fetch me the leather box over there." ”

Li Yan looked at his father and then at his mother, and he didn't understand what his father meant.

"If you take it, you will take it. Mother said.

Li Yan nodded, got up, took the suitcase, and put it in front of the second elder.

The father shuddered his hands and slowly opened the suitcase, Li Yan looked at the inside of the box, in addition to some cash, there were some things like title deeds.

The father opened the compartment of the suitcase again and fumbled inside.

After a while, a child's red belly pocket appeared in front of Li Yan's eyes, and Li Yan's heart suddenly tightened, this belly pocket had never been seen since Li Yan could remember.

The father slowly unfolded the folded belly pocket, and in the middle of the belly pocket, there was a delicate jade pendant, as well as a letter that looked a little old.

It seemed that it took a lot of effort for his father to hand these three things to Li Yan.

"Yan'er, you have received all these things. ”

"Dad, what are these?" Li Yan slowly took the things from his father's hand, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

These things seemed to confirm Li Yan's inner thoughts, but Li Yan couldn't believe it.

"Child, my parents are sorry for you, I have been hiding from you for more than 20 years, and now, my parents are people who are about to leave, and they can't bring this secret into the ground. ”

"Actually, you are not our biological son, those people in the village are right, you were brought back by us outside, I'm sorry, my parents really didn't mean to lie to you, but my parents really regarded you as our biological son. ”

After saying these words, my father burst into tears, like a big stone in his heart that fell to the ground completely.

"Child, my parents are also forced to hide this matter until now, my parents know that this is very selfish, but my parents just don't want you to know the truth and resent us. "Mother is also in tears, "Now that I have spoken out, my heart is much more steady, whether you resent us or not, at least, we are already very content." ”

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to say anything. Li Yan actually guessed this result when the second elder asked Ye Meng to go out, but he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to believe it.

"Mom and Dad, I only know that you are my parents, and I only recognize you in this life, as for who my biological parents are, what does it have to do with me?"

"They gave birth to me and abandoned me, should I be grateful to them?"

"Nonsense!" the mother immediately interrupted Li Yan's words.

"Yan'er, even if you resent us, you must not resent your parents!"

Li Yan looked at his mother puzzled, "Didn't they abandon me?"

The mother shook her head and said, "Yan'er, you are wrong, you are not abandoned, on the contrary, your parents love you very much, otherwise they would not have been handed over to us to raise." ”

Li Yan is getting more and more confused, could it be that there is still a hidden secret?

Mother picked up the jade pendant in Li Yan's hand and pointed to a word in the middle of the jade pendant, "Yan'er, remember, your father's surname is Yang, your mother's surname is Liu, the front and back of the jade pendant are engraved with their surnames, they are all rare good people in the world, and they are also the people who love you in the world!"

"Then why can't they raise me themselves? Why?" Li Yan's heart still didn't want to believe what his mother said.

"Why?" the mother looked at Li Yan and said loudly with all her strength, "Because your parents were persecuted after giving birth to you, and you were entrusted to us at the last moment of their lives!"

"It's your parents, begging us to take you in, and it's also your parents who have left you with the hope of your last life!"

"In this world, anyone can say that your parents are not, but you are the only one, absolutely not!"

After the mother finished speaking, she put the jade pendant in Li Yan's hand vigorously, as if she had exhausted her strength, and collapsed on the bed at once.

"Mom!" Li Yan wanted to stretch out his hand, but his mother waved her hand effortlessly.

"Child, there is one more thing that we have not told you, and now that you know that we are not your biological parents, let me tell you about it. The father propped himself up and looked out the window as if he was recalling something.
