Zhao Meijuan's words were simply earth-shattering.

Le Shihao turned his face to look at Xia Mo and gently touched her arm with his elbow: "Xia Mo, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I don't know, I've never heard my mother mention it."

Xia Mo shook her head, also confused.

Le Shihao's inquiry was fruitless, so he had to continue to look at Zhao Meijuan.

found that she had already stood up, standing quietly in front of Xia Gang's tombstone, standing for about two minutes, and then turned to leave.

It wasn't until her figure was out of sight that the two stood up and walked to Xia Gang's tombstone, Xia Mo put down the jasmine in his hand, and Le Shihao also bowed to Xia Gang's tombstone......

On the way back from Nanshan Cemetery, the two did not speak.

Xia Mo just looked out the window with a sideways face, her eyes still shining with tears.

Le Shihao, who noticed her expression in the rearview mirror, hurriedly picked up the tissue in front of the car and put it on her lap.

She didn't speak, she didn't turn her face, she continued to look out the car window, but silently reached out to pick up a tissue and wiped the tears from her face.

"Straight home? Or ......"

Seeing that the car had entered the city, she was still sad and silent, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go home."

She sniffed and finally spoke.

"Okay." He nodded, pondered for a while, and finally decided to ask what he was confused about, "Xia Mo, what did your father do when he was alive?" ”

"My mom said he was a worker, working in the field, and my mom never mentioned it to me."

"Oh...... I haven't mentioned it, haven't you asked? ”

Xia Mo's answer made Le Shihao's heart move.

"I asked, but my mother always said that she didn't want to face painful memories anymore, and then she said more, and as I grew up, I was more afraid of making her sad, so I took the initiative not to ask so much."

No wonder Zhao Meijuan's words, Xia Mo didn't understand it at all, it turned out to be like this. Le Shihao didn't ask any more, but silently drove Xia Mo back to Anda Community.

The eyeliner arranged by Lin Jianda in the Anda community is gone, and it seems that he has left.

Le Shihao drove the car downstairs, and the two went upstairs together.

Knocking on the door and no one answered, Xia Mo had to take out the key to open the door.

As soon as the two entered the door, they found that their mother was actually at home, sitting on the sofa with her head bowed alone, her eyes were red, and she didn't know what she was thinking there.

"Mom-"

Xia Mo shouted, Zhao Meijuan raised her head, looked at her with a dull gaze, and then suddenly waved at Le Shihao behind her.

"Shihao, come in and sit."

This time, Zhao Meijuan didn't call Le Shihao's surname, but called him by his name, which made Le Shihao, who was about to say hello and prepare to leave, couldn't help but be flattered.

He hurriedly called out to his aunt and walked over, but his heart was already like a mirror.

Xia Mo wanted to pour some water, but was also called by Zhao Meijuan to sit down on the sofa.

Zhao Meijuan sat there, looked at Xia Mo, and then at Le Shihao, she didn't speak for a long time, but the tears in her eyes suddenly fell big.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Mo pretended not to know about her mother's visit to the cemetery, so she quickly took a tissue and wiped her mother's tears with her own hands.

"I ...... I'm fine. Momo, it's just that I just ...... I went to see your father......" Zhao Meijuan choked up, and suddenly reached out and grabbed one of her daughter's hands tightly, "Momo, mom is sorry for you, I haven't told you anything about your father for so many years, ......"

"My father's business ......" Xia Mo was stunned.

Zhao Meijuan nodded, suddenly let go of Xia Mo's hand, got up and walked to her bedroom.

Because she didn't close the door, Xia Mo and Le Shihao could clearly see her open her bed and take out a small box from a mezzanine below.

I didn't expect my mother to hide it so secretly, because of this mezzanine, Xia Mo never knew about it.

Zhao Meijuan quickly walked out with the small box in her hand.

It was a small iron box with many years at first glance, because it was a little rusty, and the plum blossom pattern on the box surface was a little blurred.

"Mo, this little box, Mom hasn't opened it for ten years, today, Mom handed it over to you, it's time to confess to you about your father."

"My dad?"

Xia Mo couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart.

I didn't expect that there was a secret, no wonder my mother would say that in the cemetery.

With trembling hands and taking the small iron box handed by her mother, Xia Mo only felt that her chest was "thumping" and beating wildly, and her heart was almost nervous to jump out of her throat.

In fact, for so many years, Xia Mo has always had doubts in her heart, why her mother is always secretive about her father's affairs, but the two depend on each other, she doesn't want to know, but she is afraid that her mother will be sad, so she has been suppressing the confusion in her heart.

But now, the answer is in front of her, but she suddenly became timid, and suddenly felt so scared.

Because her mother never wanted to talk to her about her father too much, she had imagined countless times that maybe her father was not a worker, or maybe he was an honorable people's police officer, and because of his special profession, he could not make it public; Or maybe my father was in charge of some kind of secret profession, glorious and sacred......

"Summer Foam ......"

Next to her, Le Shihao touched her arm and woke her up from her panic.

Looking at the small iron box in her hand, she took a deep breath and finally reached out to open the lid.

In the box, there are just a few small books that look a little old, and a few folded papers, and a small book with a red cover on the top, with the four big words "Certificate of Honor" written on it.

Certificate of honor?

So, could it be that she guessed correctly in her previous assumptions?

Xia Mo's heart moved, and suddenly his eyes were sour again, and he picked up the "Certificate of Honor" with trembling hands.

opened the certificate of honor and saw the one-inch photo of his father, which was already a little yellow, with a young and sassy and heroic appearance on it, Xia Mo's tears finally couldn't help but fall again.

"Mom-"

When she read out the contents of the certificate of honor word by word, Xia Mo was even more excited, her hand shook, and the certificate of honor fell on the coffee table, and she turned around and hugged her mother and couldn't help but cry.

She cried loudly, Zhao Meijuan couldn't help it, the mother and daughter hugged each other, and they immediately cried into tears.

Le Shihao watched the mother and daughter crying non-stop, and didn't know how to persuade them, after all, this kind of thing, he is still an outsider for the time being, and it is really inappropriate to talk too much.

After stopping for a long time, he felt that the mother and daughter were almost crying, and their emotions were released a little, so he picked up the tissue and handed it to them, and at the same time whispered "take care of your body".
