Afterwards, Li Xiaoxiao returned to his room as his mother said. However, before Li Xiaoxiao had time to clean up the room, he saw little Ai Li lying on the ground playing with a colorful pistol. This scene made Li Xiaoxiao love No, this time I went out, besides my parents, what I cared about the most was Xiao Ai Li. Now that I finally saw Xiao Ai Li again, Li Xiaoxiao should be ecstatic. However, at this moment, Li Xiaoxiao was so unhappy. Not happy.

Xiao Ai Li also quickly noticed Li Xiaoxiao. He immediately raised his head, his big round black eyes flickering at Li Xiaoxiao, pouted and shouted: "Mom! Mom!" !”

This scene was so endearing and adorable that Li Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold it back in the end. She stepped forward and hugged Little Ai Li tightly into her arms. As if he wanted to merge with the child, smelling the familiar smell of the child, but Li Xiaoxiao's heart was extremely complicated.

All of this is because of the way Li Yonggui behaved when he just came back. If it was really just a cold and fever, his parents definitely did not need to deliberately avoid him. Li Xiaoxiao knew very well that the reason why they If you don't tell yourself, or even hide it from yourself, then there must be something you don't want yourself to know.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiaoxiao becomes even more nervous. Therefore, even though she is holding her child in her arms at the moment, Li Xiaoxiao still cannot enjoy the happiness of family because she has something in her heart. .

Li Xiaoxiao, who was holding Xiao Ai Li, thought for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back. She turned around and walked out of the bedroom. Looking at the two elders sitting on the sofa, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes were already rosy. , looking at it from this angle, Li Yonggui's body already looked very rickety, and even his mother sitting on the armrest looked more majestic than him. This scene was difficult for Li Xiaoxiao to accept. For such a long time, His father has always been synonymous with strength. Even though he has not done much for himself, in his impression, there seems to be nothing that his father cannot do. But now, all this seems to have gone away from him, leaving behind What fell down was just the body of the rickety old man in front of him.

Xiao’s mother slowly raised her trembling palms. Neither of the two old people seemed to notice that Li Xiaoxiao was already standing at the door, and Li Xiaoxiao watched her mother put her palms on her father’s shoulders. After a few gentle pats, the tears in my eyes finally couldn't help but burst out.

At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to have realized that many things can’t be done whenever he wants. Once that time has passed, no matter how much he desires to complete it in his heart, No matter how much I want to do it, it's all in vain.

Turning his head to look at Little Ai Li in his arms, he wondered what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking at the moment., she slowly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then entered the bedroom again.

This time, the sound of Li Xiaoxiao closing the door was heard by Xiao’s mother. She turned her head and took a look, but frowned in confusion again, and then said to Li Yonggui beside her: "Plan, hide it. When?"

Li Yonggui took a few hard breaths, took Xiaoma's hand, held it tightly in his own, and said with great effort, " I can hide it for a day..."

When Li Xiaoxiao came out of the bedroom again, she had put on a pair of comfortable home pajamas, her hair was loose, and she looked relaxed. He felt much more relaxed, and when Xiao's mother saw Li Xiaoxiao like this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "My good daughter, I hope you are back! Your father and I miss you so much!"

Li Xiaoxiao listened to her mother's words, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Then she walked towards the living room and said with a smile: "I miss you too! So didn't I hurry back to accompany you? ? Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere from now on. I will stay with you at home and never leave for a moment!”

As Li Xiaoxiao spoke, she walked up to the two old people and stretched out her arms. He took out his two hands, one hand holding his mother's hand, the other holding his father's hand, and then he clenched the palms of the three people tightly together, as if they were inlaid together, tightly Never separate.

Li Xiaoxiao’s sudden scene made Li Yonggui a little uncomfortable. He even suspected that Li Xiaoxiao already knew something.

On the contrary, Xiao’s mother on the side couldn’t help but burst into tears. Seeing this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately said: “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Shouldn’t you be happy today? Days?”

“Yes, yes! It’s a happy day. Maybe it’s because Mom is getting old. She always likes to cry no matter what happens. Hey! Don’t be like Mom!” Xiao Ma said while wiping her tears.

At the same time, Li Yonggui on the side couldn't help but said: "Look at your mother, she looks like a child. If this continues, how can you not let your daughter worry?!"

"You old guy, you're not much better! You still have the nerve to accuse me!" Xiao's mother looked at Li Yonggui again and retorted.

But it was at this moment that Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that the backbone of this family in the future was no longer his father, let alone his mother, and even less likely to be Xiao Ai Li, but Li Xiaoxiao.

My parents are old and no longer as vigorous as they used to be. They have also reached the age where they need someone to take care of them. As my father said, as their daughter, it is indeed time for me to worry about them. .

Li Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but quickly recall the first half of his life. He had almost never been the head of the house or the master. He always lived under the shelter prepared by others for himself. Before that, he was his parents. , followed by Fang Zhiqiang. No matter what time period, there is always someone to help him shield himself from the wind and rain, allowing him to move forward regardless of everything.

But now, just after hearing those words from his father, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that from now on, there will no longer be someone who can protect him from wind and rain. He needs Stand up and face it all, no matter how hard it is, no matter whether your thin body can bear it, you have to go through it all.

Thinking of all this, Li Xiaoxiao once again squatted down gently and slowly, squatting in front of the two elders, still holding their palms tightly, looking at the second elder's eyes that were already slightly cloudy. , Li Xiaoxiao said: "Dad, Mom, my daughter has grown up and is sensible. No matter what hardships we have, she can help our family carry it! Just like when you helped me carry everything. , do you believe your daughter?"

When Li Xiaoxiao said these words, the expression on his face was so solemn and so determined. When Li Yonggui saw this scene, he couldn't help but be extremely moved. It can also be seen from Li Xiaoxiao's reaction that she did have a lot of feelings when she went out this time, and it was not the worst result after all. For Li Yonggui, this is enough!

When Xiao’s mother on the side heard this, she couldn’t help but her palms trembled violently with excitement. Li Xiaoxiao felt her trembling palms and continued to say: “Mom, you guys too You were once young like me, and you experienced all the beauty of being young, and you also experienced hesitation and confusion. And one day I will grow old like you, and will also be seriously ill. This is something that each of us must experience. No one can escape from everything, no one can hide from it."

Xiao's mother never imagined that these words would actually come from her daughter's mouth.

When I called her in the past, every time I talked about 'birth, old age, illness and death', she always avoided the topic and never communicated with me directly. At that time, I always thought that my daughter Still not grown up, still not mature enough, still like a child, thinking that both parents are immortal.

However, what Li Xiaoxiao just said made Xiao’s mother immediately feel that her daughter had undergone earth-shaking changes. However, Xiao’s mother didn’t understand what Li Xiaoxiao had gone through to become such a Such changes occur.

Li Xiaoxiao stared intently at her mother who just turned to look at him. After pondering for a moment, she spoke again: "Mom, maybe you are not ready for what is coming now. There are many people like you who are full of fear of the unknown, but what is coming will eventually come. Since we can’t escapeAvoid it, why can't you choose to accept it calmly? ”

Li Yonggui on the side never spoke. However, listening to Li Xiaoxiao’s words at this moment, the muscles on his face couldn’t help but tremble. He knew that Li Xiaoxiao’s words were actually making a false statement. It seemed that It seemed that he was telling it to Xiao Ma, but in fact, he was telling it to himself.

As expected, not only Li Yonggui heard this, but Xiao Ma herself had also realized it, so at this moment He also involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Li Yonggui.

Li Xiaoxiao also looked over. Seeing the still prominent blood vessels on his father's face, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel pain in his heart again. But she still smiled and said: "Dad, do you still remember what was the most romantic thing my mother did when we were young? ”
