The light of the fire was faint, but it burned tenaciously to the end. The black letter left behind after burning curled up, and the handwriting after burning could still be faintly seen. Li Zhengyi put his hands together, and the fragile black residue was immediately shattered. Let go of your hand, facing the breeze, the black paper foam flutters with the wind and disappears into the darkness.

When Li Zhengyi turned around, he found his father standing on the steps, watching him quietly.

"Dad, Ouyang Qing is gone. ”

"Sooner or later, I'm leaving. Father Li responded.

"He left the jade pendant. ”

"Don't think about it, just have a clear conscience. ”

Li Zheng nodded and didn't speak again. Li's father walked over, motioned for Li Zheng to sit down repeatedly, and handed him a cigarette for the first time in his life. After the ignition, Father Li sat down beside him and said, "Our father and son seem to have never sat down and talked like this. When I was young, I was very strict with you, but it backfired, making your temperament more and more extreme. When I grew up, I didn't like your temper and style, and the gap between us father and son grew bigger and bigger. ”

Li Zhengyi said ashamedly: "That's because I was ignorant before. ”

Father Li said: "Actually, it's not just your problem, we as parents haven't done a good job. Your mother is only one of your sons, and she spoils you more on weekdays, and I am too strict and harsh in my discipline of you, which causes you to rebel. Now that I think about it, many times, if I had changed my discipline method, maybe you would be able to be like many of your peers, studying at your ideal university, instead of living with the two of us old people and guarding a scrap yard like you do now. ”

"Dad, this is actually my personal problem, and it really has nothing to do with you. I never blame you, because you didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, I couldn't resist the temptation, and I fell deeper and deeper into junior high and high school, and finally became a bastard. I used to make you and your mother hurt your brains, but I was not filial. ”

Father Li sighed and said: "The past is gone, I am glad that you can turn back, this point, your mother and I even feel very surprised." The last time you opened the acquisition station, this time to save people, we all saw that you have grown up, if you have any ideas in the future, you can put them forward with us, don't hide them in your heart. ”

"I know. ”

"Now that you know, tell me what other plans you have in the future? With my understanding of you, it is difficult for you to stay at the acquisition station for the rest of your life, and it is not suitable. ”

Li Zhengyi pondered for a while before saying: "There are short-term plans, and long-term plans can only be taken one step at a time." ”

Father Li said: "Let's talk about the short-term." ”

"Short-term planning, in fact, for us, the time may not be short. My idea is to use the acquisition station to accumulate as much original capital as possible within a year, and strive to be able to open a small Internet café next year. For Internet cafes, I have briefly investigated, in recent years, the profits will not be very low, the sooner you open, the more profitable, and the later, the profits will only get thinner and thinner. ”

"If the Internet café business is doing well, if nothing else, I don't think it will be difficult to make a million. During the period, you can find some areas with development potential, stock up on houses, buy some shops, and then use the houses and shops to make money. ”

"It is said that one shop raises three generations, and the long-term plan can only rely on houses and shops at present, and there is no specific plan. If this continues, you should basically be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you are lucky, you can also leave enough capital for your next generation, even if my generation can't turn over, at least my next generation can have a good starting point. ”

Father Li was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't smoke half of the cigarette until the cigarette butt was lit, and he woke up. He just had a feeling tonight, and wanted to talk to his son and talk about his heart, but he didn't expect his son's heart to quietly start to have such a clear future plan.

The change in his son is a bit big, even beyond Li's father's expectations. Father Li suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and felt that his decades of life experience seemed to have lived to a dog. Half a lifetime of insight and vision is not as thoughtful and long-term as his twenties-year-old son.

Father Li said, "I suddenly feel sorry for you now. ”

Li Zhengyi was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Father Li said: "If you can read more books, I am afraid it will help you more in the future." ”

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, but who can say clearly about the things in the world." ”

The night was as cold as water, the father and son stopped talking, and silently finished smoking a cigarette, Father Li got up and said, "It's too late, why don't you rest early." ”

Li Zhengyi got up and said, "Aren't you surprised that I burned something just now?"

Father Li said softly: "Actually, I can probably guess that this should be something that Ouyang Qing left you." I wasn't going to ask, but since you mentioned it, I want to ask you, is it risky to see you so cautious?"

Li Zhengyi was silent for a moment before he said: "There is a little, but not big, because the person he offended is far away in a foreign land." ”

Father Li asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"

Li Zhengyi shook his head and said: "I can't talk about regrets, when I saved him, I knew that what happened to this person was not simple." I think people are okay, so I will choose to help him later. It's just that I didn't expect that his grievances would reach a situation where he would never die, which was the only thing I didn't think about. At the beginning, I persuaded him to let him go, but now it seems that it is unlikely that he wants to let go. ”

Father Li approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I thought about persuading you to think carefully, but I always remember the look in your eyes when you said that you were going to get rid of the gangsters and turn back that night in Mogong Township. Coupled with your behavior over this period of time, we all think that you have grown up and have not interfered with your thoughts. ”

Li Zhengyi said: "Dad, if there is really an accident that involves us, will you blame me?"

Father Li laughed silently and said, "You are my son, I blame you for what you do." Things may not be as complicated as we think, maybe after Ouyang Qing leaves, his enemies will soon find out his whereabouts. Their target is Ouyang Qing, so this side will naturally give up. After all, their power is far away in other countries, and I am afraid that the road in China will not be easy, and it will be difficult to move an inch, and they will not stay for too long. ”

Li Zheng turned his head in surprise, and he could vaguely see his father's face in the darkness. He who cares about chaos really doesn't take into account this layer, with Ouyang Qing's shrewdness, how can he not have a backhand. Ouyang Qing, who was hidden in the shadows, his departure was the beginning of the counterattack.

Jiang is still old and spicy, the so-called insight into the world is knowledgeable, half a lifetime of wind and rain, no matter how wooden a person is, he also has his unique way of thinking.

Father Li patted Li Zhengyi's shoulder again and said, "Okay, let's rest." ”

Li Zhengyi said, "You go in first, and I'll sit down for a while." ”

Father Li didn't speak again, and went into the room with his hands behind his back. The dim light came on and went out a moment later. Li Zheng clearly heard Li's mother's dream-like muttering and Li's father's careless answer, and for a moment, he fell silent.
