Ashes in the crematorium

"Okay, don't talk about this, don't you still have to teach me, Teacher Ren?" Li Ran laughed and said jokingly.

Ren Wanlin glanced at Li Ran's waist, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Does your waist still hurt?"

Li Ran shook his head, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Ren Wanlin saw that he really didn't seem to be busy and continued teaching, but half an hour had passed, and Li Ran couldn't even do some simple movements and postures up to standard, so Ren Wanlin, as a coach, felt a little suspicious of life.

If it weren't for the good example of Ren Ran, he really doubted whether there was something wrong with his teaching ability.

"You..." After hesitating for a while, Ren Wanlin still asked the doubts in his heart, "How did you pass the physical education class when you were in school?"

Li Ran froze for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, he coughed dryly, "Make up the exam."

Although this is a shame in Li Ran's career as a top student, it is also true that he has no athletic talent, nothing... I am ashamed to admit it.

Well, Ren Wanlin was not surprised at all.

Ren Wanlin said patiently, "It's okay, although you are a bit slow in learning, with me here, I will definitely let you learn."

Oh, is that so, Li Ran's expression was very flat.

When learning to hold and exhale in the water, it went smoothly, and then it stopped at floating practice, and when gliding in the water, Li Ran was always unable to do kicking movements.

Li Ran's legs were sore from kicking, and his feet were so soft that it was difficult to even stand. As soon as he stood up, his legs trembled uncontrollably. Ren Wanlin was still very excited, so he didn't notice the resistance and anger on Li Ran's face. tired mood.

Li Ran was very tired, so he climbed out of the swimming pool on his own, and said angrily, "I won't study anymore." Ren Wanlin was stunned for a moment, wondering what he had done wrong, and asked carefully, "Why? ?”

"I don't like it, so I don't want to learn it anymore." Li Ran said it with some confidence.

Ren Wanlin pondered for a moment, but did not speak.

Li Ran did act petty just now, but when he saw Ren Wanlin's silence, he saw helplessness and grievances, and he thought to himself, did he speak too loudly?

Li Ran changed his words and said, "My feet are sore, let me rest for a while."

When Ren Wanlin heard this sentence, the aggrieved expression on her face dissipated. She really blamed him for being careless and not considering Li Ran's physical fitness.

After Li Ran got ashore, he went to recharge his energy, and then stayed as far away from the swimming pool as possible.

He is afraid of water now.

Xiao Ran leaned forward and smacked her powdered face a few times shyly, "Father is stupid!"

Li Ran has been a good student in the eyes of his teacher since he was a child. In the eyes of his neighbors, it was the first time he heard that he was stupid. He hugged Xiao Ran horizontally while he was not paying attention, and then put it on his lap. Scratching his armpit, "You little villain, who are you to say is stupid!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help itching, she laughed and struggled in Li Ran's arms, "I'm talking about Ren Wan's father being bad!"

Holding the attitude of not going into the water once on the shore, Li Ran sneaked away while Ren Wanlin was still teaching his son. After about 10 minutes, Ren Wanlin sent a message: Where are you?

Li Ran knew that Ren Wan would ask, so he replied with two words: I don't want to practice anymore.

Ren Wanlin: Tired?

Li Ran sighed inwardly: Can I not practice?Can't I just bask in the sun on the beach without going into the water?

After a while, Ren Wanlin came back: Xiao Ran said she wanted you to take him on a swim.

Li Ran looked at these words, did not move for a long time, and only replied after a while: Then I will practice another day.

OK, Ren Wanlin replied.

After a while, Li Ran received a call from Aunt Li in his hometown.

Aunt Li faltered on the other end of the phone and said, "Li Ran, you..."

Li Ran heard that Aunt Li's tone was a little nervous, and her expression suddenly became serious, "What's wrong, Aunt Li?"

Aunt Li hesitated for a moment and said, "When do you plan to come back?"

"I've bought my ticket, and I'll be back in a week." Li Ran said.

"Why don't you come back this year?" Aunt Li asked hesitantly.

Li Ran frowned deeply, "Why?"

Aunt Li was very conflicted in her heart, so she chose to say frankly, "Your brother is out of prison."

"When did it happen?" Aunt Li's words made Li Ran unable to recover for a long time, and it took a long time before he remembered to speak, and he didn't notice that his voice was trembling slightly.

Aunt Li on the other end of the phone sighed and guessed, "I don't know very well, it shouldn't be too long."

"By the way." Aunt Li asked again, "He didn't call you, did he?"

"No." Li Ran was strangely calm at the moment, "He doesn't know my phone number."

"That's good." Aunt Li on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ran was holding the phone, not knowing what to say, more precisely, it was the sudden news that made him not know how to react, he clenched his fist tightly, took a deep breath, and clenched his white fingers Only then slowly stretched out.

"Aunt Li, if he comes to trouble you, just call me." Li Ran's tone suddenly became serious.

Aunt Li's tone was relaxed, as if she didn't seem to be bothered by it, "It's okay, my old Wang just bought a house in the city, and I don't live often in the country, I just come back occasionally, as long as he doesn't contact you."

Li Ran rubbed the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips, "Thank you, Aunt Li."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ran realized that his palms were all sweaty.

It's okay, it's okay, he can't find me.

Li Ran repeated silently in his heart, trying to calm down the turbulent emotions slowly, but the more he comforted himself, the more he couldn't calm down.

Both legs were suddenly hugged by Xiao Ran, Li Ran was startled when he woke up suddenly.

Xiaoran looked up at him with a little timidity in her eyes, "Dad, your eyes just now were so scary."

Li Ran rubbed his son's head, his eyes softened, "Why did you come here?"

"Ren Wan's father said not to practice, and teach me another day."

"I'm hungry." Xiao Ran said again, touching her belly.

Li Ran looked at the time, it was time for dinner, he held his son's hand, "Let's go, let's go eat."

Just walking halfway, I met the old lady. When the old lady saw the two of them, she beckoned. Xiaoran happily called grandma grandma and trotted over.

"Where are you going?" the old lady asked after Li Ran approached.

"Xiao Ran is hungry, take him to eat." Li Ran said.

The old lady took a look at Xiaoran and said, "Xiaoran come out to eat with me."

Li Ran was taken aback when he heard that, and then asked one more question, "Aren't you eating at home?"

"I'm tired of the taste at home, so I just made an appointment with the boss of Jiuyunzhai to make a reservation and change the taste."

Jiuyunzhai is a private custom-made kitchen, which is not open to the public, and requires queuing up to make an appointment. Li Ran once went there with the old lady once before.

The taste is indeed good, but the price is also ridiculously high, it's just a vegetarian meal, Li Ran has been praised by these rich people for some reason.

"No, I want to be with Dad." Xiaoran quit immediately when she heard that.

"You kid..." The old lady looked a little unhappy, "Grandma finally came back once, can't you spend more time with grandma?"

Li Ran also quickly persuaded his son, "Don't make grandma angry."

Xiaoran pouted aggrievedly, but Dad finally came back, he wanted to be with Dad more.

Talking to the child about the unreasonable reasoning made it necessary to coax, the old lady thought about it and said, "The food outside is better than the one at home."

Xiaoran doesn't listen, she shakes her head like a rattle.

The old lady thought for a while, then continued, "Then what do you want to eat? Grandma will take you to eat."

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up when she heard that, "I want to eat KFC!"

When the old lady heard it, she immediately frowned, "What's so delicious about junk food!"

Xiao Ran raised her head high, "No matter! I want to eat KFC!"

The old lady confronted Xiaoran with staring eyes, sparks crackled and flickered in the air, but it didn't take long for the old lady to lose the battle, "Okay, only once!"

Li Ran looked at the incomparably childish behavior of a child and an old child, and sighed.

Xiao Ran had already turned against him, holding the old lady's hand, and waved to Li Ran, "Goodbye, Dad!"

Li Ran had no choice but to say goodbye.

When Li Ran first entered the room, he found that the light was extremely dim, why didn't he turn on the light?

I called Aunt Zhang, but no one answered him, what are you doing?Li Ran felt puzzled.

Then he went upstairs, and he found that candles were placed on each floor of the steps, as if they were guiding him, continuing to the stairs.
