"Mom, what do you think?" After dinner, Li Yi watched his stepfather go to the next room to watch TV, and couldn't help but rub into his mother, and couldn't help asking.

The mother, who was seriously washing the dishes and chopsticks, was stunned at first when she heard her son ask: "Is what you said about your biological father?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Yi turned around and found that his stepfather did not come, looked at his mother with a serious face, and nodded.

"What about it!" Li Yi's mother continued to take a bath, muttering in her mouth: "Your father has been away from home for nearly 20 years, and you also know that he left home because of mental problems. But now that he's back after so many years, I don't want him to go again! Li Yi's mother put the washed dishes and chopsticks on the cupboard and said to Li Yi with a serious face.

Hearing his mother say this, Li Yi nodded. He agreed with his mother's approach.

"My attitude is not that I don't care about my stepfather, it's a big deal that I'm two fathers, who would have thought that he would be so cruel and bear to kill my mother!" When Li Yi recalled a story he had said to his mother, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Xiaowen frowned: "Then what does your mother mean by this?" After all, according to the laws of our country, monogamy is practiced, and it is impossible for a woman to live with two men! ”

"I know this! My mother's meaning at that time has already been understood, and what she meant was that she wanted my stepfather to go and let my biological father go home! Li Yi scratched his head with both hands, this is a dilemma for anyone.

Although his biological father left home for so many years because of mental illness more than 20 years ago, he was his biological father after all. No matter when and where, you can't let go of that bloodline mood.

But at present, his stepfather, who has taken care of his mother for more than ten years, treats himself like his own son, pays for himself to build a house, eats and lives with him, and over the years, Li Yi has also treated the other party as his biological father.

"Dad, you rest first, this little work, I'll come!" In the afternoon, the freshly repaired fence in the yard needs to be brushed with a layer of cement. When Li Yi was busy, his stepfather was next to help shovel sand.

Li Yi knew that his stepfather had undergone a major operation on his head, and now he couldn't exercise vigorously, so when his stepfather came to help him with his work, Li Yi was a little worried about his stepfather's body.

"It's okay! I can't do too much work! But this kind of unhurried little work, I can move, and I can still help you a little! Zhou Zhuang said as the shovel quickly shoveled the sand on the ground.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Yi, who had lost his father's love for a long time, felt that his father's love had never been lost since his mother found this stepfather.

Li Yi grew up under what conditions he lived in since he was a child, and he knows better than anyone else, and now his stepfather not only paid for him to build a house, Li Yi fantasized that one day he could marry a virtuous woman like his mother, so that his life would be content.

However, the sudden return of his biological father made the entire family pattern a shocking reversal.

Li Yi still remembers the scene when the aid station called his village committee.

It was his mother who answered the phone at the time.

"Hey, who's going to find it?" Li Yi's mother, who was busy washing clothes for Zhou Zhuang and her son, said after answering the phone.

"Oh, we are... From the aid station, we just came here with an old patient, he said he is your family, if it is convenient, can you come over? The staff on the other end of the phone said calmly.

Li Yi's mother, who heard this, may have been telepathic, and the meridians on her head suddenly beat violently, and this time, she instinctively thought that the person they were talking about was probably her husband who had been missing for more than 20 years.

"He... What does it look like? How old are you? Are you okay now? Li Yi's mother, the questions that rushed into her mind at this moment were all she could ask.

"Oh, this patient, we found him when he was begging on the side of the road. We asked him and he said he couldn't find his way home, and that he had been living a wandering life all these years! As for his name and age, because he didn't bring anything valuable to prove his identity, we couldn't ask anything, so we had to ask the local neighborhood committee to help us find your phone number? If you do have a missing person in your home, come and check it out! The aid station told Li Yi the news that he could tell his mother.

Hearing what the other party said, Li Yi's mother already knew it at the moment: "Okay, good... I'll be there later! Li Yi's mother, who hung up the phone, was extremely excited, she didn't expect that her husband, who had been missing for more than 20 years, would be able to come back at this time.

When Li Yi's mother decided to be with Zhou Zhuang, she already decided that her husband was dead. Now that she suddenly got that her husband was not only not dead, but now he had returned, how could she not be surprised.

"Mom, who's calling?" Li Yi and his stepfather entered the door one after another.

Li Yi's mother, as soon as she saw her son coming back, she didn't care about whether the following words would affect Zhou Zhuang's mood, but she was anxious and excited and said to Li Yi: "Yi'er, it may be that your father is back!" ”

"My dad?" I was a little stunned, looked back at my stepfather in one episode, and couldn't help but smile back to my mother: "My dad has always been here!" Mom, what's wrong with you today? How did you start talking nonsense! Li Yi obviously didn't understand the meaning of what his mother said.

Hearing that his son thought he was talking about his stepfather, Li Yi's mother, he hurriedly smiled and said to Li Yi: "It's not him, I mean your biological father!" ”

Li Yi, who heard this, was stunned on the spot, and Zhou Zhuang, who put down the hoe in his hand on the side, couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you tell me before that he was already dead!" Why is it suddenly said that people are still alive, and now they are back? "Obviously, some people are happy and some are sad about this news.

Today's Zhou Zhuang is just distressed, and he feels that this matter must be very troublesome.

"Oops! He has been missing for more than 20 years, and when he ran away from home for no reason, he was still mentally ill! Because I haven't heard from him for so many years, I thought he was dead! Who would have thought that people were still alive! Li Yi's mother replied to Zhou Zhuang hastily, turned around, and prepared to take her son to the aid station to have a look.

After the two left, Zhou Zhuang was the only one left in the room. In fact, Li Yi and his mother let themselves go together, but when he heard the news in his heart, he was a little annoyed, so he didn't agree to go together and chop firewood at home alone.

Originally, according to Zhou Zhuang's plan, he paid for his stepson to build a house, anyway, after living for so many years, he was already a family. Living together like this until you are in the ground is also a very satisfying thing.
