As soon as Xiao Hua approached the corner room, he heard his daughter's complaining voice: "What military compound, what cows, don't you see that the lime on this wall has fallen; Hey, the color of this curtain is dead; And this soundproofing, not too bad. What is there to envy, I still think your villa is good-looking. I didn't take a closer look last time, when will I take me for a walk. ”

Xiao Hua pushed the door in with a straight face, Li Xiaoxia was startled and complained: "Mom, why don't you knock on the door to scare me." Then he whispered: "That's it for now, we'll talk about it another day." ”

Xiao Hua pointed to her head: "I know that the sound insulation at home is not good, what if I am heard by your aunt?" It's hard to come in and live, do you want to be kicked out? ”

Li Xiaoxia said nonchalantly: "Who rarely lives, such an old house is not as good as our own community, and we will have to think about it next time I invite me." Mom, can I go out to play, they said to pick me up. It's too boring to stay like this. She coquettishly pulled her arm and shook it.

Xiao Hua looked at his daughter with a headache: "It's the group I met abroad, and I already said that I would let you have less contact." Yes, they have money on hand, but have you ever wondered why they are holding you back? This old villa you look down on is not something you can live in with money, and if you don't know anyone, you can only wait outside the gate. ”

She patted Li Xiaoxia on the shoulder: "It's so big, you also have a little heart, show your face in front of the old man more, and pretend to be a little bit like it." At the beginning of the New Year, many of the old man's subordinates and friends would come to visit and walk around, and his mouth was a little sweeter, and his temper was choked for me. And those friends of yours were cut off earlier, and the most important thing is for people like us to come and go, don't be taken advantage of. ”

Li Xiaoxia's ears were calloused by her, and she said impatiently: "What's the use of you talking about these things in my ear every day, look at the furnishings of the two rooms we live in, even the quilts were made by you temporarily." It's been so many years, and we've gotten something small. She angrily kicked the corner of the table, and the two of them were startled with a bang.

At this time, Liang Yanan's voice came: "Did the expedition sleep?" Dad is back and lets you go to the study. ”

Xiao Hua glared at her and opened the door: "It's sister-in-law, the old man is back, why are you embarrassed to let you come up and take a trip, the expedition is saying that you want to go down to have a look." ”

Liang Yanan glanced at Xiao Hua's face lightly: "I haven't slept yet." It was a strange sound just now, and it scared me. ”

Xiao Hua didn't know if she heard anything, and she was annoyed that the sound insulation effect was really poor, and her face was as usual: "Xiaoxia accidentally bumped into the table, and now it's hurting." Are the dumplings wrapped? Need my help? ”

Liang Yanan really couldn't get used to the hypocrisy of this woman's pretense, and waved his hand: "Just a few, it's done in three or two clicks." ”

Li Yuanzheng opened the door and looked at Liang Yanan and asked, "Sister-in-law, Dad came back later this year, how is his face, and can his body be able to eat?" He turned his head and said, "You and Xiaoxia should also go down together, just a few days of empty time all year round, and you should also do your filial piety in front of you." ”

Liang Yanan glanced at the man who had no memory at all, and reminded him casually: "You know the rules of Dad's study, generally don't let people in, and even have to be watched by people when they clean." ”

Li Yuanzheng frowned: "Sister-in-law, I have been married to Xiao Hua for 12 years. Besides, Xiaoxia, like Wenyin and Zhuo Xin, aren't they all his grandchildren. ”

Liang Yanan didn't like what he said, no one in this family didn't know the meaning of this study to the old man, since he had already reminded them, he would let them go, and he would no longer be disgusted.

This is a room that completely conflicts with the simple style of the main villa, and you can see at a glance that the owner attaches great importance and care to it.

The brick-red background wall decoration of the study, the solid wood desk, bookcase, and blue and white striped curtains bring the Mediterranean atmosphere into this classical study, highlighting the owner's delicate life taste; The pure white ceiling design and garland style large chandelier are delicate and soft at the same time, but also luxurious, and the carpet with round dark pattern shows this luxury; Several large windows brighten up the study and open up views, and the small garden outside is carefully planted with plants to help relieve stress and relax.

Of course, the study is absolutely indispensable to its main body, full of three cabinets of books, showing the master's knowledge and cultivation connotation. Li Yide looked at the words on the wall: Mingzhi, quiet and far-reaching. This is Xia Yun's handwriting during his low ebb, "Huainanzi Master Training", which has been hanging on the wall since he moved to the compound.

He was always warned that if he could not look down on the world, he would not be able to clarify his ambitions, if he could not be calm, he would not be able to achieve lofty goals, if he could not be broad-minded, he would not be able to accommodate all things, if he was not kind and loyal, he would not be able to have the world in his heart, and if he could not be fair and just, he would not be able to distinguish between right and wrong.

There are too many memories here, and people miss the old when they are old, and they are afraid that they will forget the most important person in their memories after leaving a place for a long time. This is also the reason why he is reluctant to live in a newly arranged villa and return from the nursing home for a while every other time.

His cloudy eyes began to heat up, and he suddenly remembered what his lover had said in the chair opposite: it doesn't matter how the study is, what to do in the study is really worth thinking about. is more determined in his decision, for the sake of Li Zhuoxin, he must also make a decision.

Liang Yanan knocked on the door, then walked in and said embarrassedly, "Dad, they're all here." ”

Li Yide looked at the three people who walked into the study in order, and waved his hand tiredly: "That's it, sit down." ”

Xiao Hua followed Li Yuanzheng with some restraint and sat down carefully. Li Xiaoxia saw that there was an empty position next to the window, far away from the main seat, and naturally walked over there.

Li Wenyin put down the tea tray and said, "That is grandma's favorite chair before her death, didn't you tell Xiaoxia about it, third uncle?" The family would rather stand with an empty chair than be sitting, which is a thought and respect for grandma. ”

Li Zhuoxin's lips curled slightly, and he turned a page of "Sense and Emotion" in his hand, which is a book that does not match him at all, but it is indeed the old lady's favorite, and it is often read. In his opinion, there is a sentence in it that is very suitable to describe his father's current situation: this world, comprehended by reason, is a comedy; It's a tragedy to comprehend it emotionally

Li Xiaoxia was embarrassed and didn't know whether to step forward or retreat, and resented Li Wenyin, who seemed to be gentle, but was actually very lethal. Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Didn't you see that your brother is also standing, standing behind your father." Then he apologized: "Old man, I'm really embarrassed, I'll teach her well when I go back, and the expedition rarely talks about family matters." ”

Dong Jie said with a smile: "Everyone in the family knows about this matter, and they usually don't go to sit." As the saying goes, the ignorant are not guilty, and it is normal for you to make mistakes the first time you come as guests. Pay attention to it later. A sentence hit Xiao Hua's heart, heavy.

Xiao Hua took his daughter's hand and walked to the side with a smile. In this home she can not be offended by anyone, because none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, especially if she has not yet been recognized. She glanced at it, and the man who sat obediently on the side under the old man's gaze worried about her, threw a reassuring smile. It's fake not to be disappointed, but this is the man she grabbed it, and she knew how much responsibility he had since he married Zhuo Tingting.

Li Yide is really disappointed in this son, he is the one who raises him the most, and he is the one who embarrasses him the most. If the same thing is on the eldest and second, he will definitely fight back or defend it, and he believes that even if he opens his mouth, it will be the same.

He looked at his other two sons, one of whom is now obsessed with charity, and his life is stable and fulfilling. One is committed to cultivating professional command talents, and he is in line with his temperament. He sighed: "I asked you to come here today just for one thing, your mother has been gone for so many years, and my body doesn't know how long it can be supported, this family should also be divided, and the stick should be handed over." ”

This sentence was like an atomic bomb thrown into the deep sea, and it shocked everyone in the room. Xiao Hua was directly stunned, observing the expressions of everyone in the study back and forth in disbelief.

Li Heping said in surprise: "Dad, Wenyin said that your body is recovering very well, how can you say these unlucky words during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Li Nanzheng responded: "Yes, you are the backbone of this family. Dad, don't think about it that much. ”

Li Yuanzheng said directly: "Dad, this family can't be divided. Under their gaze, he explained with some embarrassment: "I have never heard of the separation of the elders in the compound, and there is no conflict between our brothers and sisters. ”

Li Zhuoxin glanced at his father, as if he didn't know him. In the past few years, although the old man has hindered his promotion, no one dares to stumble on him, because he is Li Yide's son.

The old man smiled bitterly, this is his son, the first reaction when he heard the news was actually the influence of the wind commentary, and the sorrow was greater than the death of his heart, this is how he feels now. "Needless to say, even if the family is separated, you are still my son, I don't care what others think, as long as you know it in your own hearts."

He beckoned to Li Wenyin and handed over a key: "You go and help me take out the contents of the safe, you often entered the password when you were a child." ”

Li Wenyin's eyes began to redden, and when he touched the right side of the box, there was a gap, which he secretly took out to play with when he was a child. She packed up her feelings, took out the three file bags inside, handed them to him, and called softly, "Grandpa." ”

Li Yide touched her head and only took the file bag: "Silly child, this is the dowry left to you by your grandmother, this box is more familiar than your grandfather in your arms every day when you were a child, and you keep it." ”

Of course, Liang Yanan is no stranger to this box, and he also knows the value of the things here, so he stood up suddenly: "Dad, this is the thought left by my mother to you, we can't ask for it." Wenyin, give it back to your grandfather. ”

Li Wenyin stroked the lines on the box and looked straight at the old man.

Li Yide looked at his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law with a disapproving face: "Don't say anything more, this is for Yinyin." There are a few pieces of old jewelry in it, and the real good things were given by your mother when your brothers and sisters got married. Keep it, and there are things at the bottom of the box when you go to Kang's house. ”

Looking at the old man Li Yuanzheng, who wanted to stop talking, he continued: "Second child, among so many children, your mother and I feel the most guilty about you, and you are the one who suffers the most. ”

Li Nanzheng looked at Dong Jie, and the other party smiled calmly. "Dad, I'm very happy to be Li Yide's child. Those past things are a tempering for me, otherwise I wouldn't have met Dong Jie. Don't think about what will happen to me in the future, isn't there Zhuo Xin. ”

Li Yide showed the first sincere smile tonight: "Good, good, good." Yes, there is Zhuo Xin. He handed a bag to Dong Jie: "These are two old houses and a few acres of land in my hometown, keep them." ”

Dong Jie took the bag happily: "Dad, I'll help you collect it first, and wait for Zhuo Xin's child to be born as a full moon gift." "She's never been a person who likes to shirk, not to mention the people who are eyeing her.

He turned his head and pushed a bag to the table: "Third child, you and your mother are the ones who hurt me the most, and you are the one who gives me the most headache among my children." This is my life's savings, you take it all, and the password is your mother's birthday. Not much, your old father is so capable. ”

Li Yuanzheng glanced at the two identical bags on the table, and then at the son who was reading by himself, and said with some sadness: "Dad, I still mean that, this family can't be divided." ”

Li Yide put away his peaceful attitude and glanced at him sharply, as if to his heart. The corners of Li Yuanzheng's mouth twitched, but his attitude did not soften at all.

Li Yide ignored him, turned his head and said solemnly: "This bag is something that the state has returned to your grandmother's family, the Xia family is dead and gone, and only she can be found." Most of the real estate has already been handed over, and there are only a few old mansions that are important for the summer and properties that have been compensated by the state. Zhuo Xin, you have to remember that our Li family is only in custody, if there are descendants of the Xia family coming back, then you have to transfer it to the old mansion. Also, your child must have a surname Xia, and I have already submitted an application to the organization to explain the situation. ”

Li Zhuoxin took the thing with both hands and said solemnly: "Okay, I know." ”

Li Yide smiled with satisfaction: "Good boy, the Li family will explain what you have in your hands." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yuanzheng's sad voice sounded: "Dad, you can't arrange it like this, it's not fair."

There was silence in the study, except for the sound of heavy breathing.
