Walking not far from home, Li Aocheng suddenly stopped and said: "Big brother, second brother, you go and tell my father and mother that I am back, I will go and change my clothes first, I don't want my father and mother to see me, just like a person who asks for food, this time it is a shame." ”

Li Aocheng's main reason is not so, he still doesn't know how to face his parents, the more he gets home, the more overwhelmed he becomes, the more he wants to escape.

Li Hao and his wife, all the time they saw that his three brothers did not come back, they were anxiously looking at the door, it seemed that for a long time, finally at this time they saw that the three brothers had arrived at the door and did not come in, they knew that Li Aocheng was afraid of facing him, so he refused to come in.

When Ling Caidie saw them coming back, she ran out directly and ran to the side of the three brothers.

"Mother. Li Tian and Li Fan shouted.

Before Li Aocheng could call out, Ling Caidie hugged him fiercely, as if she wanted to integrate him into her body and never want him to leave, Ling Caidie's tears were suddenly uncontrollable, flowing out like a river, and said with a cry: "Child, where have you been, why are you only going home now, do you know how worried your mother is about you?" ”

Li Aocheng heard his mother's cry, his heart ached, he was at a loss, and he cried all of a sudden.

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm not coming back? Mother, I'm fine, haven't I come back well?. ”

"Aocheng, you must promise your mother, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you have to go home, you know? ”

"Well, mother, I promise you. ”

The mother and son hugged for a long time before they separated, and Ling Caidie looked at Li Aocheng at this time and suddenly laughed.

"Look at you, like a beggar who asks for food, hurry up and change your clothes, and then come out to eat, and we will all wait for you to be together. ”

"Well, knowing my mother, I'll be fine right away. ”

"Mother, don't say it, just now we all saw a little girl on the street giving the third brother a gold coin to eat? . ”

"Really? Who is this little girl, so loving. ”

"She is Ling'er, the daughter of Boss Long, who runs a pharmacy in Dongcheng, she is very lovely, kind, and she also comforts Aocheng and takes him out of the low tide of sadness. ”

"Well, I really want to meet her and see how lovely she really is, and we all praise her. ”

Mother and son walked into the restaurant, at this time the restaurant was brightly lit, just like daytime, a row of red candles burning, the candlelight kept jumping, like a group of elves in red dresses dancing, there was a long dining table in the middle of the restaurant, there were all kinds of small dishes on it, the whole restaurant was filled with fragrant smell, people knew it was delicious when they smelled it, and they couldn't help but taste it, and there was a large brazier in a corner of the restaurant, which was burning with a raging fire.

Soon Li Aocheng was changed, and dressed up neatly, so that people could know at a glance that he was a polite and scholarly teenager, at this time he returned to his usual appearance, but he did not have the previous temperament, giving people a feeling of depression and vicissitudes, without the confidence and sharpness of the past.

Ling Caidie saw Li Aocheng slowly walk in, "Aocheng, hurry up and come over to eat, you see they can't wait, it looks like they haven't eaten for a few days, you see that my mother specially made you your favorite dish today, you see braised chicken thighs, spicy tofu, halal steak ┉┉ You see that you love to eat." ”

"Thank you, mother. ”

The family ate quietly like this, and the atmosphere was not as easy-going as before, and only Ling Caidie could only hear the sound of Ling Caidie talking from time to time.

"Come to Proud City, eat more, come and eat this. ”

The family finished dinner like this, but this restaurant was extraordinarily quiet, without the excitement of the past, this time Li Aocheng did not eat much, he ate much less than before.

After the meal, the whole family sat in the restaurant, just like that, no one spoke, and the silence could hear the sound of snowflakes falling outside, and the sound of people's heartbeats, even Li Fan, who loved to talk the most, became quiet, this time when he had no language all along.

Li Hao couldn't get used to the silence here, and it broke the silence here.

"Aocheng, Dad knows that you are very sad, knows that you are very sad, knows why others can cultivate and you can't be painful, and at the same time afraid of facing our disappointment, afraid that we will talk about you, so you don't dare to face us, want to escape, but do you know? ”

"Yes, Aocheng, my mother doesn't want you to bear all this alone, my mother doesn't want you to be unhappy, sad, sad, you are my mother's heart, my mother doesn't want to worry about you every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. ”

"I'm sorry for worrying about you, I promise I won't worry you again in the future. ”

"Well, this is my mother's good boy, my mother knows that you are sad because you can't cultivate, it doesn't matter, we can't cultivate, we can still be civil officials, my mother believes that you will be able to achieve good results in this regard, and your literary talent is so good, we can also be a literati, who dares to bully us, is it Tian'er, mortal. ”

"Yes, whoever dares to bully us, it's strange that I don't beat him all over the place. ”

"Yes, third brother, you may not be able to become a big official in the future, we all have to rely on you to develop? In the future, the three of us brothers will fight the world together, and the eldest brother will see who dares to bully us. ”

"Yes, third brother, in the future, when my eldest brother and I have grown up, we will go to the mercenaries together, and we will definitely be able to make a difference. ”

"Fan'er, just like you, it's a joke to make a difference, but it's good to have a dream. ”

"Oh, mother, don't underestimate me, say that I can't really do it, and how do you know if you haven't tried it?. ”

"Father, mother, I think about it, I can't give up easily, I want to cultivate, and say that I may not be able to create miracles, and I have created fewer miracles since I was a child? I think I must be able to, I will not give up. ”

"Yes, we have to try it before we know if we can do it? How can we give up easily? In the future, Dad will teach you himself, and Dad will believe in you." Thank you Dad, I won't let you down. ”

At this time, although Li Aocheng had regained his former vigor, he was still struggling in his heart, could he really do it? Can he really create miracles? Can he really cultivate the recognized waste materials?

"Dad, mother, I'm tired, I'll go rest first. ”

"Well, there you go. ”

Looking at the back of Li Aocheng's departure, Ling Caidie felt so powerless from the bottom of her heart, this kid was too stubborn. Li Hao's heart felt extremely painful, he knew the reason, and he couldn't say it, this was the most painful thing
