As soon as I entered the door, I saw my son Xu Yang, who was wearing a brand-new royal blue robe, sitting silently on a stone pier in the courtyard, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Yi knew that a child of his age already had a certain ability to think independently and judge right and wrong, although he was still temporarily immersed in grief and confusion, but after a period of time, he would be freed from it.

The most effective way now is to find him something to do, so that he has no time to look back on the past, so that he can forget the pain as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Yi quickly had an idea.

Li Yi stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Wen Yan said: "Yang'er, what's wrong? What are you thinking? ”

Xu Yang only then realized Li Yi's arrival and hurriedly stood up.

Nuo Nuo said: "Father-in-law, Yang'er is just sitting here casually, but he is a little depressed when he has nothing to do." ”

"By the way, it's like my aunt won't let me go anywhere, and won't let me do anything, I'm dying."

Li Yi smiled and said, "This is the beginning of the complaint?" ”

"Huh! What's the hurry! It's still messy outside, and she's afraid it's not safe for you to go out by yourself. ”

"Haven't you always loved to read? And I can't be idle. ”

"Hmmm! In a few days, I will find you a very interesting thing to do, not only to study and study, but also to practice martial arts to strengthen the body, and to learn a lot of new and interesting skills. ”

"The most important thing is to have a large group of good friends of the same age."

"However, if you want to learn these skills, you need to endure a little more hardship first, I don't know if you have this perseverance and perseverance?"

"Father, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Yang'er has liked to read since she was a child, and she can do any job, let alone idle. My mother said that those who have ambition must start from the bitterness, and when they are older, they will take the suffering very lightly. ”

"At that time, my mother would wake me up every morning to exercise, and then teach my sister and me to read and write. The rest of the time, my sister and I went up to the mountains to chop wood and sell it at the market. ”

"A lot of what my sister and I eat and use at home have earned with hard work."

"I thought at the time, if I learn the skills well in the future, I must serve my mother well so that she will not suffer anymore. But ......"

Xu Yang couldn't say it anymore, his eyes were already slightly red, and tears fell down again.

Li Yi sighed secretly, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

This child has just lost his mother, who accompanies him day and night, and he is not like this.

Crossing over here means that everything before is severed, and all the previous family, friendship, and love are gone.

In a sigh, Li Yi stroked Xu Yang's head and looked at this child, who had some rare adult appearances.

sighed: "You are a good boy who understands things, and the days ahead are still long!" ”

"Alas! Although sadness is inevitable, it is a real strong person who can stand up from pain and move forward fearlessly. ”

"Maybe in a few years, you'll really understand that."

"Hmmm! Please rest assured, my father-in-law, I am thirteen years old, my sister is only one year older than me, she is still a girl, she can endure any hardship. ”

"I'm a man, and I know what to do. I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not tired, you can do whatever I want. ”

Li Yi nodded, and said with emotion: "What I want you to do is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it is more likely to be extremely difficult in the future, and if you want to achieve something, you must pay a hundred times the effort." ”

"It's not something that happens overnight, and there's no shortcut. Rather, it was acquired after going through various difficulties and accumulating countless knowledge. ”

"Therefore, you must be prepared to endure hardships and suffering, this is a quality that you must have to grow into a man, but you can't think about things too simply."

Xu Yang opened a pair of big black eyes and listened quietly to Li Yi's words, with a resolute and resolute look on his face.

He nodded vigorously and said with understanding: "What Dashuai said is similar to what my mother said, and she has always taught me this." ”

"I think what the adults say is reasonable, and there will be no mistake, father, I will definitely do what you tell me."

Li Yi nodded approvingly and continued: "You prepare well in the next few days, and I will arrange for you to go to a new and interesting place in a few days." ”

"There are a lot of kids out there about your age, so you're going to get along well."

Li Yi patted him on the shoulder as if encouraging and let him go on his own.

After everyone had dinner together, when we returned to the house, Li Yirang took out my crystal Buddha beads, crystal balls, and the glass travel water cup, as well as the glass perfume bottle that I had put in the car before.

Pack them all up, and they're going to show off at tomorrow's auction.

When I was cleaning up, he seemed to mysteriously pull me into the inner room, and whispered to me: "Official, Yang Er has been here for several days, and today I found a strange thing, I always feel that Xu Yang has a lot of differences from ordinary children, what do you think?" ”

Li Yi's second monk was puzzled by the question, and said in surprise: "What's the difference?" Xu Yang is just a more sensible orphan, what's so strange about this. ”

It was like blinking his big beautiful eyes, and said disdainfully: "The official has lost his eyes, and when I changed his clothes today, I found that there was a semicircular piece of simple jade hanging around his neck, like a whole round jade cut in half." There is a dancing phoenix carved on it, which must be worth a lot of money in my eyes. ”

"What makes me strange is that a homeless orphan like him, with such a precious jade on his body, don't you think it's a little different!"

Li Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Hmm! I also think that this young man is unusual, his speech and demeanor are not something that the children of the poor family can deliberately imitate. ”

"And his mother was able to teach him to read and write independently, and it seems that she is also a lady from a noble family."

"However, this child does not have any arrogance, he has endured hardships since he was a child, and his will to hone is already very strong, if he is cultivated well, he may have amazing achievements in the future."

"However, you must not indulge him, as the saying goes, 'jade does not make a weapon'."

"In a few days, I will let him go elsewhere to practice, which can be regarded as giving him a chance to grow and exercise."

Hearing Li Yi say this, it seems that he is a little reluctant.

The obedient and sensible Xu Yang is deeply loved by Wanru, and the family affection that he just got along germinated in, but he wants to be separated, how can he not let Wanru be reluctant.

Li Yi smiled slightly, I didn't expect that in just a few days, the two of them had such a deep friendship, it seems that this child is so happy! Hehe!
