"You woman!" Li Bochen didn't wait to say anything, "It's time to eat! You can't talk about it." Yan Yu reached out and stopped him, and he didn't know when the meal was going to be.

"Eat, let's eat!" Seeing that she was eating happily, Li Bochen poured her a cup of tea and put it beside him.

Yan Yu drove home happily, and Li Bochen's company had nothing to do, so he drove to Li's old house.He is going to see his mother.

Li's family had a study that was locked all the year round, and according to what Li Yuanzhi told him, his mother's ashes were inside.

Because of the long time, the lock has rusted, and the key can't be opened at all. I went to the back garden to find a hammer and sacrificed the lock at once.

The whole study room was covered with white cloth, even the floor was covered.With a wave of his long arm, he lifted off the dusty white cloth, and the decorative furniture was still the same as when he was a child.

However, it seems that there is no mother's urn here.

He didn't come in immediately when Li Yuan moved out, and Li Yuan had no reason to lie to him.I went to the desk and searched carefully to see if there were any hidden compartments, but I didn't seem to find anything. I leaned against the bookshelf at the back, half of the bookshelf was pushed away, and there was a hidden compartment on the wall.But there is a password box inside.

It was an old-fashioned combination box, and it didn't take much effort to open it. It took him two or three clicks to open it, and the urn of his mother, Helianxi, was placed inside.

Carefully took it out, and there was a photo of my mother when she was young, with bright and white teeth.

He thought about burying his mother in the cemetery, but according to his mother's temperament, she should prefer to stay in this house.It feels a little loose when touching the bottom with a finger in one hand. It should be that the glue has aged over time.

After a little effort, the bottom box was opened, and a 32-carat notebook fell out. On the title page was written: Notes of Helianxi.

Is this... a handwritten note from my mother?
The pages were also a little yellowed, Li Bochen flipped through them, they were all written before and after his birth.Remember that it is just some daily chores.

But when he flipped through it, he felt something was wrong. His mother passed away when he was only seven years old after he was born. According to the time, his mother should have been in pain before his death. Why are all the trivial things recorded?The painting style has also changed from recording him and his father to Xiao Qin, Helianxi's maid.

Xiao Qin also left the Li family immediately after He Lianxi's death, and has been missing for so many years, so he must be in his 50s this year.It's just a maid, why does it make He Lianxi so sad?
"Hey, help me find someone, the maid who served my mother 23 years ago, Xiao Qin." He called Zhan Qing who was training far away at the base, "Really! Don't we have to celebrate the New Year? Come and eat cake Already!" When Zhan Qing answered the phone, the doctor was also beside him, greeting him with the cake that the secretary just sent, this is his treasure, and he is usually reluctant to share it.

Put the mother's urn in the bedroom where she lived before, and asked someone to prepare some joss sticks, paper money and tributes. After kneeling down, he sat on the bed in the bedroom and talked to his mother, although his mother had only been with him for seven years. The memory has been blurred, but he still feels that his mother is so kind. No matter how decisive and unreasonable he has become in these years, he thinks that his mother's heart is still as soft as before.He knew that no matter what he became, his mother would not blame him.

Tonight, he spent the night at Li's house for the first time in ten years, and spent the first New Year with his mother after 23 years.

"Dear viewers and friends..." The countdown to the New Year's Eve has already started on TV, and Yan Yu and his younger brother are at home making dumplings next to his grandma.Dad accompanied grandpa upstairs and downstairs to paste couplets and hang lanterns, enjoying themselves happily.

The Li family was not so lively anymore, the empty house was occupied by Li Bochen himself, since he came here in the afternoon, he hadn't gone out in his mother's bedroom, he hadn't even drank saliva, let alone bought New Year pictures and Spring Festival couplets.It was lifeless and there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere at all.

Yan Yu was tired from playing, and wanted to be the first to say Happy New Year to Li Bochen, so he sent him a WeChat message at midnight, but no one replied.

"Maybe he's sleeping." Thinking of him being alone in the apartment, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Grandfather, father and sister, come to eat dumplings!" As soon as the dumplings were served, Yan Enhe came out with a bowl. People look at the appetite.

"Okay! Come on, Happy New Year!" Yan Yu poured drinks for everyone one by one, and the New Year's Eve dinner carefully prepared by grandma filled the table.

"Happy New Year!" Dad sent everyone a thick red envelope.

"Wow! Dad is so bright!" Yan Yu said exaggeratedly, "Wait a minute!" He ran back to the room and took out the things he had prepared for a long time.

There is also a stack of red envelopes, "Ahem, that! This year, the little girl has earned money by herself! I will give everyone a red envelope for good luck. Although it is not as thick as my father's, it is still a lot!" The two younger brothers sent a big red envelope.

Only Yan Enhe's hand that collected the red envelopes became weak all night.

It's already 02:30 after eating, and everyone is ready to go to bed.Yan Yu went back to the room and looked at the phone. There were only New Year greetings and red envelopes from Duan Xinqian and his friends. Even Sheng Yao wished her a Happy New Year, but Li Bochen still didn't reply.

I couldn't help calling him, "I'm sorry, the number you dialed was not answered." The mechanical girl came from the receiver.

"It shouldn't be, Li Bochen has always been a light sleeper, so it's impossible not to hear him!" He called again without giving up, but still no one answered.
