Absent-mindedly, Li Cai came to the donkey meat restaurant next to his mother's unit.

Li Cai's mother, Ji Wantong, is a reporter for a newspaper, and she has said before that she is only eight years older than Li Cai. So in fact, she is actually Li Cai's stepmother.

Li Cai basically has no impression of his biological mother, who unfortunately died of illness when he was more than two years old.

What memories can a two-year-old child have? So basically it can be said that all of Li Cai's impressions of his mother, and even what his mother looks like, are learned through old photos and from other people's mouths.

's mother died early, and his father was also busy with work, so Li Cai was basically a wild child when he was a child, and he spent 365 days a year, at least 100 days in other friends' homes.

This is really a guy who grew up eating 100 family meals!

When Ji Wantong appeared, he was already in junior high school, I can't remember the specifics, probably when he was eleven or twelve years old.

Because he hadn't seen his mother since he could remember, when his father appeared for the first time with Ji Wantong, Li Cai didn't have any emotions such as disgust, at most he was just a little apprehensive.

It's quite bloody to say, Li Cai's father Li Jinshan is 15 years older than Ji Wantong, and the encounter between the two is even more like a fragment of an idol drama, a classic hero who saves the beauty.

Li Jinshan was a criminal police officer, while Ji Wantong was a junior majoring in journalism at the time. In the process of carrying out the mission, he happened to save Ji Wantong, who risked tracking a group of dangerous pyramid schemers in order to make a big news, but was discovered by others.

Li Jinshan has participated in the work for more than 20 years, and he has saved many people, and he didn't take it seriously after saving him, so what should he do.

But Ji Wantong has lived for 20 years, and it is really the first time she has been rescued. Li Jinshan is not handsome or handsome, but his very stable and mature figure left an extremely deep impression on her and is unforgettable.

So after the matter was over, Li Jinshan's colleagues found that a young and beautiful female college student began to appear around Li Jinshan frequently, with a face full of words saying I want to stick you upside down!

Li Jinshan didn't agree at first, after all, the age difference between the two was too much. And my wife has been gone for ten years, and I have long been used to living with my son, and I am not very used to the sudden appearance of a woman around me.

Of course, inevitably, he was also worried that if he found another female partner, it would bring trouble to Li Cai. Otherwise, after being single for so many years, someone has always introduced him to a partner, and he has already agreed, why wait so long.

However, as the old saying goes, men chase women in the mountains, and women chase men in the veil, not to mention Ji Wantong, a young woman in the city who has knowledge, culture, appearance, and connotation.

Under her fierce pursuit, soon, it didn't take half a year for Li Jinshan to hold on, and he was finally "surrendered" by her.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Wantong really meets the requirements of his heart, and after more than half a year of getting along, he has a full understanding of this girl who is fifteen years younger than him.

Her kindness, her integrity, her cuteness, these and other factors all attract Li Jinshan, a lonely middle-aged man.

At the same time, he gradually believed that this woman could bring happiness to himself and his son, and even make up for the part of his son's missing maternal love, although she was not much older than his son.

The scruples in my heart were gone, and soon, in Ji Wantong's junior year, Li Jinshan and the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate. At that time, there was no big wedding, but they lived together, and they wanted to wait for Ji Wantong to graduate from university, and then officially make up for it.

For that period of time, Li Cai's memory is still very deep, and for the first time, he really felt like a complete family.

However, happiness always comes in a hurry and goes more suddenly.

In the year that Ji Wantong graduated from university and was admitted to the "Beijing Daily", Li Jinshan and his colleagues went on a business trip to a southern province to hunt down the suspect. On the way there, the police car driven by the two was involved in a car accident, and the car lost control and overturned to the bottom of the valley.

The colleague who drove the car had one leg amputated, and Li Jinshan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, unfortunately died on the spot.

When the bad news came, the sky collapsed, and Li Cai instantly became an orphan. And Ji Wantong, who has just been married for less than two years, has also become a little widow.

Li was only 14 and a half years old that year, and Ji Wantong had just celebrated his 23rd birthday.

……

No one felt that such a family could continue to be maintained, the two divided the property, and then Li returned to his father's hometown to live with his uncle, and Ji Wantong began to live his own life again, which was the best choice at the moment.

Even Li Cai himself felt so, although he was unwilling, but this seemed to be the only way, he really didn't think that this woman who was not a few years older than himself could come up with any other better ideas.

But something unexpected happened.

Silently without too many words, Ji Wantong took care of all her husband's future generations, and the ashes were finally buried on a beautiful hill in the Babaoshan People's Cemetery.

Then that night, when Li Cai's uncle, who came to the funeral, came to the house to comfort the two of them, and described to Li Cai how beautiful his hometown was, Ji Wantong suddenly spoke: "He will not leave, he was born in this family, and he will grow up in this family until he wants to leave!"

"Huh?" The sudden sentence stunned Li Cai's uncle, and it took him a long time to react, and he was referring to Li Cai in Ji Wantong's mouth.

Uncle couldn't help frowning: "Don't make trouble, who will raise him if he stays here, I still have a job in my hometown." ”

Ji Wantong bit her lip very stubbornly: "I can support him, my salary is enough for the two of us to live." ”

After a pause, looking at her surprised uncle and Li Cai, whose eyes flashed with brilliance, she said again: "I know that I will take Lao Li's money from you to take care of the family, so let's do it, the house and savings can be completely under Li Cai's name, and no one can move until he becomes an adult, including me, is this okay?"

These words finally moved the uncle, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Why do you bother? You are still so young, why bother yourself?"

"If you don't feel embarrassed, how can you be embarrassed?" Ji Wantong said firmly: "Li is the only bloodline left by Lao Li, of course I have to take care of him, and I am worthy of Li Jinshan and I as husband and wife!"

Besides, Li Cai grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he has long been used to it, and this is his home. Old Li Quanxia knows, if he knows that his son doesn't even have a home, he can't blame me to death!"

"Tsk, alas, you ...... like this" Li Cai's uncle snorted his teeth, looking very embarrassed.

At this time, Ji Wantong asked Li Cai again: "Li Cai, you said it yourself, do you want to stay in the capital, or do you want to go back to your hometown with your uncle?"

Li Cai didn't hesitate, his eyes were shining: "I want to stay." ”

Ji Wantong asked again: "Then do you want to live with your uncle, or do you want to live with me?"

This time, Xiao Li paused for a moment, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he finally stretched out his hand to point at Ji Wantong, and said a little weakly: "I want to be with you!"

"Wow. In an instant, Ji Wantong endured tears for several days, but they still fell. She rushed over and hugged Li Cai, and choked in his ear: "Thank you, thank you, from now on the two of us will be comrades in the same trench......"
