"Brother, your phone!" Sister Li Chun got up earlier than Li He, under normal circumstances, she has to go to practice the piano on Sunday mornings and learn to dance in the afternoon.

Li He answered and then put on his clothes and went out to answer the phone, and he didn't know who called him early in the morning, could it be that Kang Xingjian gambled again last night? Seeing that the group stage of the World Cup has reached the third round, which teams in the top 16 will soon be known, maybe the first pot of gold in Li He's life is about to appear, but he has not paid attention to the results of the game at all in the past few days, he is afraid that something will happen.

However, when Li He picked up the phone, a slightly low and tired female voice came from the earpiece, this voice still sounds very young, the sound quality is clean and polished, it is easy to give people a feeling that no matter how low the tide is, they will try to cheer up when they hear this voice, and it is very standard Mandarin, without a faith city accent, this is not deliberate, but born like this.

"Happy birthday, Xiaohe. ”

Li He was a little stunned when he heard the voice in the earpiece, this voice was extremely familiar, but suddenly there was a very distant feeling. He knew who it was, but he didn't twist the string in his heart, so the other party waited for a while, but Li He's "Mom" didn't call out. If you do the math, his mother is still very young, 37 years old, only two years older than Li He's mental age.

As for Li He's silence, the phone was also silent for a while, as if it had been expected, the voice on the phone became a little choked, full of apologies and said: "I'm sorry Xiaohe, my mother can't accompany you for your birthday this year, I really can't leave here, you forgive your mother, don't be angry, okay?" Speaking of the back, the choked voice also turned into a soft sob.

"That ......" Li He felt awkward in his heart, quickly adjusted his state, and said: "Mom, I'm not angry, but your voice sounds so tired and a little cold, in fact, you don't have to fight so hard, really." "It's just because my mother's voice still sounds very young now, and I can't adapt to it for a while, but the blood relationship between mother and son can't be separated by anything.

Past...... Alas, Li He let out a long sigh in his heart. In his previous life, his mother Qiao Chu also lived in the provincial capital like him, but the meetings and exchanges between them were no more than Li Jie, who stayed in Faith City. This is largely Li He's problem, but Li He's mother Qiao Chu is busy all day long, and she hasn't taken much care of her son since she was a child, which is also a problem.

After receiving this call, Li Hecai suddenly remembered that today was his 16th birthday, and before he was 14 years old, his mother had to take him out to spend his birthday every year, but since he was 14 years old, his mother went to the provincial capital to develop, and she could only call him.

Feeling Li He's concern, Qiao Chu on the other end of the phone changed from sobbing to crying, on the one hand, he was comforted by his son, but on the other hand, he was full of guilt for his son, and more, he was dissatisfied with himself.

Li He listened to his mother's cry on the phone, and could only sigh, and said in his heart, in fact, a woman is so strong, but why is it so hard?

Li He's grandfather was a northerner, and he only came to the small city of Faith City in the south in the early days of liberation. And Li He's mother Qiao Chu is the youngest daughter of her grandfather, Qiao Chu's first three are all elder brothers, she is not only the youngest, but also an only daughter, and the youngest brother has an age gap of nearly ten years, so she has been the most favored since she was a child.

Li He summed up to his mother, because her previous brothers let her, her parents were used to her, even if she was born in a difficult time, she never really suffered anything, so she has been very assertive since she was a child, or in other words, she has been arrogant since she was a child. In the early 80s, I was a secondary school student (at that time, secondary school students were also very good), and I was even more proud.

It was a pure accident to meet Li He's father Li Jie, which girl doesn't love heroes? The more the family opposes it, the more determined Qiao Chu is to marry Li Jie, maybe in her bones, running away from home and marrying the person she loves is a very romantic thing in itself.

But life doesn't last long just because it's romantic.

Li He's grandfather was also angry at that time to cut off the family's support for his daughter, and even did something in his daughter's work assignment, the old man's original intention was also to ask his daughter to admit defeat and give in, anyway, if she was not allowed to marry, she would marry, as long as she was willing to bow her head, she had to help her live a good life. But he forgot that his daughter had always eaten soft rather than hard, and the old man had cut off support for him, and she was stunned that she had not taken a penny from home, and she was bent on raising her eyebrows to prove to her that the old man could live well without the support of the family.

But at that time, Li Jie was also a hot-blooded young man full of beautiful ideals of eliminating violence and peace, wearing a police uniform, he felt that the world would be chaotic without himself, not talking about not being at home all day, and he was particularly fond of morality, and when he went home, he took a group of brothers to eat and drink, never asked about the family's economy, and asked for wine and meat when he brought people back. If Qiao Chu could make a face in front of his brother, he would also be able to smash things in front of more people.

In Li He's later words, it was his father who wanted to treat himself as Hu Yidao, but his mother was not Mrs. Hu, she had Zhao Min's ambition to do great things, but she did not have Zhao Min's tolerance for Zhang Wuji.

In the end, the life of these two people couldn't go on, maybe they had too much quarrel on weekdays, but on the day of the divorce, the two of them could get together and disperse, just like friends, and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau to shake hands and say goodbye.

Qiao Chu was a secondary school student in the eighties, and the job assigned by the state was originally excellent, if it wasn't for Li He's grandfather to do something, Qiao Chu would have gone to the Commercial Bureau as a cadre, and finally went to a department store as a salesperson. Of course, the department store salesman at that time was also a figure with a head and a face, and Qiao Chu also saw business opportunities in the department store, and went to the sea to do his own trade in the early nineties.

At that time, doing business was called "going to the sea", Qiao Chu had enough intelligence, education, finance and accounting in a financial school, and experience in department stores, so it should be easy to become a member of a group of "people who got rich first" in that era. But it's very strange that in Li He's previous life, his mother was always so unlucky in business, she worked hard all her life, and she didn't even start a family after the divorce, and her mind was focused on her career, but her career was never really prosperous. Li He, who has experienced rebirth, believes that there are things that are really destined.

If you have to twist that energy against this thing, unless you have a supernatural mind in advance.

Li He didn't know if he had that kind of mind, he thought that most of the time he didn't, but luckily, he was confused and opened a cheat. Although many things in his mind were mosaic first, even if a person was not forced to format, how many things from his previous life could he remember?

"Mom, you have to rest more, you can't make enough money, and your body matters. Besides, I'm already grown, and in a year or two, maybe I'll be able to help you. Really, don't fight so hard outside alone, if you don't do well recently, just let go and rest, just follow ...... Well, just like my exam, the more anxious I am, the more I can't do the test, and there are some things I can't learn at all, so it's better to throw away some things that I can't carry and travel lightly, but it will be more rewarding. ”

"Hehe, my Xiaohe has really grown up and knows how to comfort people. Qiao Chu on the other end of the phone also burst into tears and laughed, Li He didn't know if she listened to her words, but her voice sounded much lighter, and asked Li He what gift he wanted, Li He didn't embarrass his mother and said that he wanted you to accompany me or something, so he just said, cash it out...... His mother was so choked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, I was happy here, hung up the phone and looked back, my father Li Jie was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth and waiting.

Anyway, Li He remembered that it was he who said that he wanted to have a good chat with his father.

Mia took Li Chun Xueqin very sensibly, although it was raining outside, she hoped that Li Jie could send them off, but she knew that the 16th birthday was also a ceremony, and she had to leave some space for the father and son. You must know that Li Jie, who is busy every day, also has no concept of weekends, but today he deliberately turned off the pager for his son's 16th birthday, and he also pinched the phone line after Li He and Qiao Chu talked on the phone, and he decided that he would not pay attention to the big things, so he would accompany his son for a birthday.

In fact, sitting on the sofa, Li Jie's mood is also very complicated, like his ex-wife, he also sincerely feels that his son has grown up. He had no experience and didn't know what it was like for his son to grow up, but for now, he should be happy.

As for Li He, he didn't take this birthday seriously, isn't he just 16 years old, and he hasn't become an adult yet. If someone gives him a girl on his 18th birthday, it's worth looking forward to.

But his mother Qiao Chu's phone call and his father Li Jie's serious posture made him have to pay attention to today's special day.

It's okay, he originally planned to talk to his father, but he estimated that if he directly told his father that I think you are mixing very badly now, you have to hurry up and work hard to make me an official and a rich second generation, so that when I encounter something, I will also arrogantly yell "My father is Li Jie"...... His father's cliff would tear him apart.

As a person whose psychological age is not much different from his father, and who has also experienced divorce, Li He has summed up his life many times, he knows that talking to people must be skillful, and the best way for people like his father Li Jie is to make him realize his great responsibility, stimulate his inner fighting spirit, and let him take the initiative to work hard for Li He's second-generation dream, so he asked strategically: "Dad, what kind of person do you want me to become?"
