Ashes in the crematorium

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran sobbed, her eyes turned red instantly, as if she had suffered all the grievances in the world.

Li Ran's father ran away, and Ren Wan's father often didn't come home, and ignored people when he came back. No one wanted him. He really was a lost child.

"Why are you crying again, young master?" Seeing Xiaoran sobbing, Aunt Zhang quickly put down her work.

"They don't want me anymore." Ren Ran said aggrievedly.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "No one will want Xiaoran."

"Is it because I'm disobedient?" Ren Ran's tears were still stained, and he looked up at Aunt Zhang, afraid to hear that it was all because of him.

Aunt Zhang didn't know what to say, she touched Ren Ran's head, but in the end she could only sigh.

"Ren Wan's father ignores me, will he bring a new uncle back?"

"That's because Mr. Ren is busy." Aunt Zhang felt sorry for the child and didn't know how to comfort him.

However, the number of times Mr. Ren went home was obviously much less, and he finally came back once, but locked himself in the room and did not come out.

As an outsider, she couldn't understand the grievances between the couple. Well, why did it suddenly happen.

No sign at all.

"Xiaoran, shall we eat first?" Aunt Zhang said softly.

Ren Ran turned around, apparently refusing to eat.

"No one hurts me anymore."

In the end, Aunt Zhang had no choice but to knock on Mr. Ren's door, "Mr. Ren, come out and see Xiaoran."

"What's wrong with him!" A cold voice came from the closed door.

"Young master doesn't eat." Aunt Zhang said helplessly.

Ren Wanlin was lying on the bed, absorbing the smell from the quilt, giving herself the illusion that Li Ran hadn't left yet.

This bed was where they used to lie, but now there is no smell of Li Ran, and he is the only one left in the cold bed.

And these six years.

He missed six years.

What good did he do that bastard.

If he had been willing to lower his head and lower his worthless dignity, would it have ended like this?

Aunt Zhang heard the silence in the room, knocked on the door again, and raised the volume, "Mr. Ren, Xiao Ran hasn't eaten well these days. He is still a child and is growing up. You... ..."

With a click, the door opened, and Aunt Zhang stopped what she was going to say.

Ren Wanlin's eyebrows and eyes were completely covered by a layer of gloom, and a layer of ice was also formed in his eyes.

When Li Ran came back earlier, Ren Wanlin seemed to be a different person. He lost the indifference of the past and loved to laugh. At that time, he was like a person with warmth, at least he would not make people want to alienate him.

But since Li Ran left, Ren Wanlin has changed back again, even more afraid of letting people approach her than before.

Ren Wanlin passed Aunt Zhang and went downstairs to Xiao Ran, and asked sternly, "Why don't you eat!"

Xiaoran is not afraid anymore, he ignores Ren Wanlin, and doesn't even look at him.

Seeing Xiaoran's appearance, Ren Wanlin frowned even deeper, and said loudly in a lecture tone, "Why are you so disobedient!"

Xiaoran's body trembled, but she remained silent.

Xiao Ran would definitely not be like this before, if it was Li Ran...

Ren Wanlin suddenly thought of Li Ran.

If it was Li Ran, it would definitely not be like this.

Ren Wanlin looked at his son's trembling little hands and felt uncomfortable.

The father-son relationship that was finally eased, suddenly disappeared.

It seems that everything is back to square one.

No consideration was given to him, and his family alienated him.

Ren Wanlin sat next to Xiao Ran, put away her temper, and said softly, "Why don't you eat?"

"You are all liars." Xiaoran's voice was crying.

Ren Wanlin hugged Xiaoran to her chest, "I'm sorry."

It didn't take long for Ren Wanlin's chest to be wet with Xiaoran's tears, and the corners of her clothes were tightly held by her son, "You adults don't believe what you say."

"I'm sorry." This was the only sentence Ren Wanlin could respond to.

Ren Ran cried for a while at Ren Wanlin, "I miss Li Ran's father."

"I miss him too." Ren Wanlin said.

"Can I visit Li Ran's father?" Xiao Ran raised her head and looked at Ren Wanlin.

At this time, Ren Wanlin was envious of his son, at least he could see Li Ran in an open and honest manner.

And his appearance will only annoy Li Ran.

What Li Ran said lingered in his mind.

Li Ran said, you make my life very difficult.

He has done so much, will it only bring troubles to Li Ran?

"Father, can we go and visit Li Ran's father secretly?" Xiao Ran tore Ren Wanlin's clothes and looked at him beggingly.

Ren Wanlin paused for a moment, "Why are you secretly?"

"Li Ran's father didn't want me to visit him, he said he was in his hometown and he didn't want me to go there."

Xiao Ran tugged at the corner of Ren Wanlin's clothes, "Let's go secretly, okay, so that Li Ran's father won't find out."

Ren Wanlin looked at his son's begging eyes as he looked at her, and there was something stuck in his throat that made him unable to make a sound.

After a while, he said a word, "Okay."

......

After hanging up the phone, Li Ran was obviously absent-minded. When Luo Tao wanted to ask something, but seeing Li Ran's uneasy expression, he couldn't ask.

She didn't know much about Li Ran's life, she only knew that he was a kind big brother, got married and had a child, and she didn't know much about others.

But Luo Tao still asked, "Why didn't you go when you promised the kids? Is it because you're too busy?"

Li Ran was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's my own problem."

"What's the problem?" Luo Tao asked again.

Li Ran didn't answer directly, he pointed to the test questions on the paper, and cleverly changed the topic, "This question is actually not difficult, you can think about it from another angle..."

Luo Tao pouted dissatisfiedly, and shifted her gaze to the paper.

"time to eat!"

After talking for a while, Luo Ming shouted outside Luo Tao's house.

Luo Tao put away the test paper and pushed Li Ran out of the room, "Let's eat first, Brother Li."

The meal was very silent, Luo Ming didn't speak, and Li Ran didn't speak, the only thing that was quiet was the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

Luo Tao noticed that the atmosphere was dull, so dull that she couldn't help chewing carefully.

"Let me tell you something funny." Luo Tao couldn't hold back and said.

"Today our physical education class was occupied again. The Chinese teacher said, your physical education teacher is sick, so I will take it. After a while, the math teacher also came, saying that the physical education teacher asked for personal leave, so he will take it. While talking, the Chinese teacher and the math teacher started arguing, and after 10 minutes of quarreling, the physical education teacher who had taken personal leave and sick leave came to testify, saying that he forgot to notify the math teacher, and the result was an oolong. Isn't it funny? Hahaha..."

Li Ran didn't smile, and his father didn't have any expression on his face.

Luo Tao looked at the two of them, and thought she was the funniest.

The laughter grew softer and then stopped abruptly.

Alas, boring.

Because it was Luo Tao who broke the silence first, Luo Ming thought for a while and finally spoke, "Tao Tao, how do you feel at school?"

"pretty good."

"Can you keep up with your study progress?"

"No problem." Luo Tao said in a relaxed tone.

"You..." Luo Ming hesitated, "Do you want to transfer to another better school?"

Luo Tao froze for a moment, she had never thought about this question.

Luo Ming looked at Li Ran and said, "Do you want to go to Sioux City? Li Ran said he can transfer schools for you."

"I'm not going." Luo Tao said without thinking.

"Then which university do you want to go to after graduation?" Luo Ming asked.

"Local, I think local is good."

"There is no good school in the local area." Luo Ming was a little unhappy when he heard Luo Tao's words.

"What's wrong with the local schools? I think the local schools are very good." Luo Tao was also a little unhappy.

Li Ran listened to the conversation between the two, holding his chopsticks nervously.

Alas, Luo Ming sighed inwardly, it really was he who delayed his daughter.

"Aren't you going to Sioux City?"

"No!" Luo Tao's words were beyond doubt.

"If you don't go, then I can go."

Why?Luo Tao's eyes widened, and he looked at his father.

"What do you mean?" Luo Tao suddenly didn't understand.

"Based on what you heard, you should stay here, Li Ran and I have gone to Sioux City."

"Then I'm going too!" Luo Tao changed his words immediately.

Hearing this answer, Li Ran immediately let out a soft breath.

"Am I borrowing it? It seems that the threshold of Sioux City is quite high." Just transferring student status is not an easy task, Luo Tao asked seriously.

Although Luo Tao is young, she knows a lot. After all, her father is like this, so she has to grow up early.

"Don't worry." Li Ran has already considered all these things.

"I have a house that can be transferred to Luo Tao's name, and you don't have to worry about the school selection fee. I have already prepared everything. Tao Tao's grades are so good, and it is impossible for the colleges in Sioux City to refuse. .”

Hearing Li Ran's words, Luo Ming's father and daughter were speechless.

House, transfer of ownership, who can say so lightly?

Ordinary people are not relatives, so don't they have to think about it for a long time to borrow 1 yuan?

What's more, it's too hasty to give away a house.

And it's still a house in Sioux City, which is quite expensive.

"Brother Li?" Luo Tao asked.

"Ok?"

"You're not robbing a bank, are you?"

Li Ran coughed lightly, "Every penny of mine is reasonable and legal."

Divorce alimony, given as a gift, is very legal.

"Brother Li, you must have entered the MLM scheme, are you coming back to the folks?" Luo Tao still didn't believe it, and even Luo Ming looked at him suspiciously.

Li Ran's expression couldn't be more sincere, "I really don't have one."

At this time, he had to suspect that he really couldn't get rid of the image of being poor, and no one would believe that he had a huge sum of money.

"You really want to give us a house?" Luo Tao asked in disbelief.

Li Ran nodded solemnly, "In order for you to go to school in the future, it's best to transfer the ownership."

"Our family will not take advantage of this kind of advantage." Luo Ming said seriously.

Li Ran knew this, otherwise he would not have refused when he wanted to compensate Luo Ming when he had a certain right to control the property after joining the Ren family.

I only take 8000 yuan for living expenses every month, and I don’t want any more.

This point is completely different from Li Xiao.

One is my own blood relative, the other is...

How come the gap is so big.
