The photo was only shown to Tao Ran, and Li Xia took it away.

In the plastic bag that has been held by Tao's father on his chest, in addition to the information on the search, there is also a family portrait of Tao's father's family of four, and a diary and account book.

Although it was wrapped in plastic sheeting, the photo was not plasticized, the surface was already a little flowery, and the faces of several people were blurred.

The whitish raw edges on the edge of the photo also show that Tao's father often takes out this family photo and misses Tao Ran's brothers and sisters.

The diary mainly writes about the records and some clues of Grandma Hu, and the rest is the various moods of Tao's father who misses and worries about his children, and also clips a number of remittance slips.

As for the ledger, it is the money he earns from odd jobs, as well as some records of receiving help, and the energy and financial resources required to find someone outside are huge.

There was also a letter in the ledger, not a letter that had time to be sent.

The letter was written to Chen Fengying, saying that he had received some news that his mother was very likely to be in Jiang Province, and that he hoped that he would be able to go home soon to pick up the children, and that Chen Fengying would be able to take good care of the two children.

There is also a piece of stationery written separately to Tao Ran and Tao Tao, just a very ordinary content, let them listen to their mother's words and study hard, and he will go back soon.

packed in an envelope together, as well as the living expenses of the two children that he was going to remit to Chen Fengying.

Seeing that his father borrowed so much money, ate bran by himself, and sent them living expenses every month, Tao Ran, who finally stopped his tears, almost cried again.

"I'll pay back the accounts on this." Tao Ran took the account book, held back his tears, and said it categorically.

Li Xia nodded, and Li Nan, who was holding Tao Ran next to him, tightened his arms and gave him a hug.

"It is necessary to register the name, age and address of the deceased, as well as the information of the family members." The public security officer handed over a watch.

There is already some content above, which is the cause of Tao's father's death, the time, and the place where the body was found.

This form is needed by the funeral home, and Chen Xinchun was going to fill it out, Li Xia thought about it, and still handed the pen to Tao Ran, "Grandpa, let Ran Ran fill it in." ”

There is no way to see his father for the last time, and finally doing something for him can be regarded as the last thought of being a child.

Tao Ran snorted and took the pen, then trembled his hands and filled in the empty places little by little.

"The funeral home has received it, and it will be cremated tomorrow, you see if you have time tomorrow, go and say goodbye to the body before cremation." The police were also very emotional, and their tone was always very gentle.

Li Xia thanked the public security and determined the time to go to the funeral home tomorrow, and the family went back first.

On the way back, Tao Ran held Tao's father's relics and never held back his tears, Tao Tao was always held by Li Xia, and he also cried and wet half of Li Xia's shoulder.

After returning home, Li Xia asked Tao Ran to put away his things, and led him out to buy things to worship the deceased.

After buying fake flowers placed in front of the tomb, as well as ingots and incense candles, Li Xia took Tao Ran to the vegetable market.

"What did my uncle like to eat when he was alive?" Li Xia asked softly.

Tao Ran was stunned, and after looking at Li Xia woodenly, tears welled up again, "I don't remember ......"

It's hard to have a day today, but now this moment is the saddest.

Li Xia sighed lightly, since he didn't remember, he could only watch and buy, and after buying vegetables, he went to buy a bottle of rice wine, Tao Ran remembered that his father didn't smoke or drink.

After buying these things, the next day, the family rushed to the funeral home early.

After the farewell ceremony, it was followed by cremation, the process of boxing and collaring certificates, and Li Xia asked Tao Ran to do every step, and she and Li Nan helped by the side.

Unlike yesterday, Tao Ran didn't cry the whole time today, but his eyes were always red, and they were full of water.

It wasn't until he filled in the last handful of soil that Tao Ran's tears welled up, biting his lip and silently shedding tears.

After arriving at the cemetery, Li Xia found that there was a place to plant trees at a certain distance behind the cemetery, so he went out to buy two pine trees in the cemetery and asked Tao Ran to plant them by himself.

"Mao Dan fell asleep inside, just like his father." Grandma asked suddenly.

There is no photo of Tao's father on the tombstone, Tao Ran's family has long been burned by Chen Fengying, and there is no photo of Tao's father who can see his face in those relics.

Grandma followed them to the public security bureau yesterday, but she didn't seem to understand exactly what was going on, and no one took the initiative to explain the situation to her in detail.

Under normal circumstances, no one takes the initiative to explain the situation, and Grandma Hu generally doesn't understand the things around her.

But now she suddenly asked.

Today, Chen Xinchun and Li Xia were a little hesitant to let her come, but after thinking about it again, they decided to let their grandmother send her on this last ride.

It can be regarded as a consolation to Tao's father who passed away unexpectedly, his mother is now living a good life and being taken care of, hoping that he can be at ease in heaven.

"Yes, don't feel bad when you're asleep." Chen Xinchun has been paying attention to his wife's situation, and nodded lightly when he heard the words.

Grandma Hu just watched, didn't speak again, just watched quietly, her eyes were a little ignorant, no one knew what she was thinking.

At this moment, Li Xia was even a little glad that Grandma Hu had dementia and couldn't feel the sadness of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person like a normal old man.

"Dad, I will grow up quickly and take care of my grandma and sister, don't worry." Tao Ran knelt down with Tao Tao, kowtowing, and secretly swearing in his heart.

……

When Lin Jing rushed over after finishing his work, Li Xia and the others were just about to leave.

"It's good to catch up." Lin Jing was out of breath, he had just picked up Father Tao from the city and county below, and he went to work on another case, which was still the time that he had finally found to find out.

Seeing that he was going to worship, Li Xia hurriedly stopped the people, put the sacrifices he had put on the table first, and then let him continue, and Lin Jing put the flowers in front of the tomb and bowed respectfully.

Looking at the sumptuous offerings placed in front of the tomb, Lin Jing was very entangled in his heart.

He had doubts about the identities of Li Xia before, but in the end, this suspicion was not dispelled, but he put it down, because it was good for everyone for Li Xia to stay.

But now, Lin Jing has new doubts in his heart.

After finding Tao's father's body, it was basically confirmed that the three Li Xia sisters and siblings had nothing to do with Grandma Hu and the Tao family.

Originally, this was nothing, this matter actually had an answer in Lin Jing's heart, and the problem was that the overlap rate between some of Li Xia's previous descriptions and the information in Tao's father's arms was too high.

Thinking of the wide range in which Li Xia could even say that Father Tao might have an accident, Lin Jing suspected that Li Xia had already discovered Father Tao's body at first.

However, after the investigation and inspection of professionals, Tao's father's body has not been found by anyone, and the information in his arms has been sealed.

So, where did Risa know this?

Lin Jing was really curious about Li Xia's experience, and he especially wanted to dig deeper and figure it out carefully.

"Uncle Xiaolin, is there anything on my face?" Li Xia put the sacrifice back into the basket, and seeing that Lin Jing had been staring at her, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Jing hurriedly shook his head and looked away, "No, I'm thinking about the case." ”

Li Xia nodded, put his things away, and looked at Lin Jing, "Let's go together." ”

The group descended the mountain and got on the bus back to the city.

"Li Xia, have you ever been to Qingshan Town?" Maybe Li Xia and the others have known Father Tao for a long time, seen these things in Father Tao's hands, and heard Father Tao talk about what happened before?

On the form filled in by Tao Ran yesterday, the word Qingshan Town did not appear.

The place where Tao's father's body was found, a little distance away from Qingshan Town, does not belong to Qingshan Town, but it is close to Qingshan Town, and some public security problems are managed by the police station in Qingshan Town.

Li Xia shook his head, his expression was slightly dazed, "I haven't been there, what's wrong?" ”

At the beginning, Li Xia was indeed a little wary of Lin Jing, but after a long time, she knew that there were some things that Lin Jing knew, and after planning to turn a blind eye, she relaxed her vigilance.

After all, it was an uncle who helped her in her previous life, and in this life, she often went to the house to eat, and took care of her sisters and sisters.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a kind of mushroom in Qingshan Town that is particularly delicious, and now is the season, I want to get some back, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." Lin Jing made an excuse indiscriminately.

Li Xia didn't think much about it, she just asked Lin Jing to bring things over, maybe she would, if not, she could also ask the mushroom seller what kind of practice it was.

In fact, it is said that Li Xia has seen Tao Father before, and there are some conflicts, according to Li Xia's previous statement, they have been living in Hu Province, and it is the first time to come to Jiang Province, how can they meet Tao Father in advance?

It's not right, the accents of Li Xia and their three sisters are completely different from Tao Ran.

It's a pity that, except for the first days, Li Nan and Li Yang would have a relatively thick accent, and now their accents have been corrected.

Even if it is not so authentic, it can be heard that it is Jiang Province, Lin Jing wants to listen to it a few more times, deepen his impression, and it is convenient to inquire.

Therefore, Li Xia may not even be from Lake Province at all.

But how is this possible?

Lin Jing couldn't figure it out, he had been frowning on the way back, and when Chen Xinchun asked, he was thinking about the case, so no one bothered him.

When Li Xia and the others got out of the car, Lin Jing almost rushed out of his mouth and directly said Li Xia's true origin.

Fortunately, when I saw Tao Ran's brother and sister, they stuck the words in their throats.

Although no one had explained it to him, Lin Jing knew that Li Xia told Tao Ran that they were cousins and siblings, so Tao Ran had always misunderstood that Li Xia was Chen Xinchun's granddaughter.

This matter may not be able to be concealed all the time, maybe one day a neighbor will puncture this misunderstanding with a casual sentence, but Lin Jing doesn't want him to break it.

It's good now, everyone has no barriers to live together, and they are slowly running in.

"Something?" Li Xia noticed Lin Jing's desire to speak and stopped.

Lin Jing's heart has already turned around once, "I will bring the fungus seeds on the weekend, and Xu Rui and Luo Xiaoxue together, will you entertain or not?" ”

"Of course, welcome at any time." Li Xia smiled and nodded.

When Li Xia got out of the car, Lin Jing had a headache, how did he know what fungi there were in Qingshan Town, and it had to be special fungi, and he didn't know if Xu Rui and Luo Xiaoxue had other arrangements for the weekend.

Headache......

Li Xia didn't know anything about Lin Jing's mental activities along the way, the house and Tao's father's affairs were settled, and she didn't have anything else to worry about in the short term.

Her next task is to work hard to make money, study hard, and grow up quickly with her younger siblings.

It wasn't until this Saturday afternoon that Li Xia finally made time to tidy up the studio she hadn't had time to tidy up.

The house had been repainted during the winter vacation, and there were two large tables by the east window and the north wall, which were the workbenches after Lixia.

Later, Chen Xinchun also found someone to build a whole row of large shelves for Li Xia, and put fabrics and accessories for her.

The larger, useless machines that Li Nan had collected in the old shoe store before were also dragged out from under Li Nan's bed and moved here.

Zhao Gang and Zhao Xuantian, father and son next door, turned strange when they saw those machines.

"It turns out that these things were bought by you, and the proprietress of the shoe store is really untrustworthy, and she said that she would wait for us to collect them, and sold them to you in a blink of an eye." Zhao Xuantian put his hands behind his back, saying that the proprietress was not trustworthy, but he was actually blaming Li Xia.

In fact, they had already found out that it was Li Xia who cut off the beard halfway and bought what they were optimistic about.

Previously, Xu Wenwen saw Zhao Gang lying on the window of Lixia's house and watching, Zhao Gang was looking at these tools.

At that time, Zhao Gang looked at some simple ones from the crack, thinking that Li Xia only accepted those small ones, but he didn't expect that the big ones were also taken over by Li Xia.

Looking at the weight they carried, the father and son of the Zhao family felt heartache, according to the price they had negotiated before, these things could make a lot of money just by selling them as iron pounds, and if they were dismantled and sold separately, they could make even more.

Li Xia was a little surprised, she heard the proprietress say that she was going to sell scrap, but she didn't know that she was going to sell it to Zhao Gang.

Of course, even if she knew, as long as the proprietress was willing to sell it to her, she would still buy it.

"I remember what the proprietress said, you didn't negotiate the price." Li Xia glanced at Zhao Xuantian, and he did not have the weakness that the other party expected.

Zhao Xuantian's throat choked, coughing up thick phlegm, he didn't dare to spit on the ground casually, this is what Chen Xinchun wanted to say, but ran home and spit into the spittoon.

After spitting up, he wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and ran back, "Why didn't you talk about it, I said that I would go back to collect it when we finished sending it to the car!" ”

When he said this, Zhao Xuantian was already a little aggressive, and his dirty tone and spit flew straight in the direction of Li Xia, and Li Xia hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

"Then you should go to the proprietress to theorize, Grandpa Zhao, no matter what, I can't blame it, don't you say?" Li Xia locked the door and cut off the sight of the Zhao family's father and son.

Zhao Xuantian, "......"

Why can't I blame Li Xia, if she doesn't buy it, there will be no such thing, thinking of the missing money, the Zhao family is uneasy.

And what has always made Zhao Xuantian very uncomfortable is that Li Xia is still very stingy, the refrigerator and washing machine are locked tightly, and he doesn't give anyone a side at all.

Since they came, Chen Xinchun, who has always been generous, has also become stingy, and he always dislikes things and west, which makes them very unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that the rent here is really cheap, they wouldn't bother to rent here again, a bunch of children, noisy to death every day.
