"Uncle Liu, let me... take a look at you."

Facing Liu Zongli's father, Wang Lidong twitched the corners of his mouth and forced himself to smile.

Uncle Liu was obviously very happy to see him and quickly stepped aside to invite him in.

"You used to come here to play when you were little, but as you grew up, you became more distinguished. Your Aunt Liu always talked to me about you, saying that you didn't even come to eat the food she cooked. Are you annoying her? Hahaha."

Wang Lidong followed him in and laughed when he heard what he said.

"How could it be? It's just that I've been too busy recently. I'll come here often for lunch in the future!"

"Okay, okay, remember what you said, your Aunt Liu will definitely be happy when she hears it."

Uncle Liu asked him to sit in the house while he went to the kitchen to pour water.

Wang Lidong looked at the furnishings in the yard and house, which were exactly the same as before.

He used to come here often to play with Zong Li, and he was as familiar with it as his own home. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were also very good to him.

But since Zong Li came back from other provinces two years ago, he seems to come less frequently.

why?

Every time I said I was coming to see him, he seemed to be uninterested and would directly ask him to meet outside, or just shirk the excuse that he had something to do.

After coming and going, he stopped asking for trouble.

Thinking of Wang Ming's words, he suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

"Come to Lidong and drink some water." Uncle Liu handed over the water.

Wang Lidong thanked him and took a sip, which instantly made his eyes red.

Sweet, with sugar in it.

"Uncle Liu..."

Uncle Liu smiled lovingly, "Drink as you like."

Wang Lidong also smiled and took another sip obediently, as if he was back when he was a child.

The conditions in his family are not good. Not to mention eating sweets, even if he wants to drink sugary water, he will be scolded by his mother.

When Zong Li found out, he took himself to his house, and Uncle Liu gave him a bowl of water just like today.That was the first time he knew what sugar water tasted like.

After drinking the sugar water, Wang Lidong also made a decision.

"Uncle Liu, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on?" Uncle Liu asked.

"Two years ago, Zong Li..." Before Wang Lidong could finish speaking, Uncle Liu's eyes immediately changed.

The originally kind eyes contained hatred, sadness and helplessness, as well as some complicated emotions that he couldn't understand.

But he had a suspicion in his heart that what Wang Ming said seemed to be true.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long time, just when Wang Lidong was about to give up in the battle between heaven and man, Uncle Liu sighed and returned to his original state.

He just looks a few years older, and his already stooped back seems to be even more curved.

"Two years ago, my brother, Zong Li's uncle, invited us over for his birthday. You also know that we, the old couple, were in poor health and didn't want to go through the trouble, so we let Zong Li go by himself."

It was his first time traveling far away, and he didn't know how happy he was.

After coming back, he kept talking about everything he saw outside. No matter what it was, he felt fresh and planned to go there in the future.

Not long after, he really went again.

Because he received the news of his uncle's death.

A person who just celebrated his birthday is gone in the blink of an eye.

This time, his mood was completely different. Liu Zongli got on the train in silence.

It wasn't until he came back half a month later that he discovered something was different about his son.

He couldn't tell what had changed. He had the same appearance and the same habits, but he just felt something was wrong and strange.

He comforted himself that he might have just experienced the death of a relative and was shocked.

This went on for half a month, and his old lady always sighed at night.
