That night, Xu Feng rushed back to school from the Hongqu Dumpling Restaurant, and accompanied his girlfriend Ning Xiaoxia to have lunch. After returning to the dormitory, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He lay in the quilt and used a flashlight to illuminate it. He was holding Uncle Zhang's notebook and reading it over and over. His diary was written in a relatively short manner, but a few of them still shocked him deeply.

February 9, 2005: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I left that dirty home and I can no longer live with these hypocritical devils.

This is the first article in the diary.

February 16, 2005: I didn’t attend Xu Yongchang’s funeral a few years ago. Today I went to his house and met his son Xu Feng and Xu Feng’s mother Li Yun.

February 24, 2005: Today is the first day of school. Xu Feng's name is indeed on the list provided by the school.

March 4, 2005: Today is a month after Brother Xu passed away. I sent Li Yun the first remittance, which will be once a month from now on. I will use this to atone for my murderer's father.

August 12, 2006: Meng Yuanming, the son of Anyong Company, became the owner of the dumpling restaurant. They would never have thought of it. There will never be Meng Yuanming in the world in the future, only Zhang Guifu.

...

Xu Feng turned the four diaries until dawn. From the words recorded in the diary, he learned that Uncle Zhang's true identity was Meng Yuanming, the son of Meng Anyong, chairman of Anyong Group. His father died on February 4, 2005, and it must not be a natural death. His father's death must have something to do with Meng Anyong Group, chairman of Anyong Group. Meng Yuanming's funding for himself and his family over the years was to atone for his father.

After sorting out this information, Xu Feng could no longer sleep. He walked aimlessly on the playground alone. He could not accept that his benefactor respected and loved suddenly became the son of his father-killing enemy. He suddenly felt that his fifteen years had been in vain and he lived in a huge lie. His mother and Uncle Zhang, the two most important people in his life, deceived him. The goals he had fought for in the past suddenly lost their meaning. The only thing he had to know now is the truth!

Sitting in the car heading towards his hometown Gui'an City, Xu Feng fell asleep in a drowsy way.

He dreamed of his father, dreaming of his father teaching him to learn bicycles. He pedaled the bicycle, and his father grabbed the back seat of the bicycle hard behind him, preventing the bicycle from falling down. Suddenly, his father screamed and fell to the ground with a knife in his back. His bicycle lost balance and fell beside his father.

He dreamed that Uncle Zhang taught him to tie the fish hook, teach him to penetrate the fishing line, and teach him to adjust the float. His hook was bitten by the fish. He and Uncle Zhang grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up hard. But the bloody body of his father was indeed pulled up.

Xu Feng's mother Li Yun also lives in the house assigned to the demolition that year. The two-bedroom and one-living house is not spacious, but it is enough for Li Yun to live alone. With Meng Yuanming's monthly funding, Li Yun lives a happy life. She no longer goes out to work now, and her daily life is to buy groceries, cook, play cards and dance. Like the retired women in every city, life is both busy and fulfilling.

When Li Yun saw her son suddenly coming home, she was extremely happy. She didn't bother to talk to her son, so she ran to the vegetable market first, bought a lot of delicious food, and made a sumptuous dinner for her son.

Seeing his son sitting at the dining table feeling depressed, Li Yun quickly asked:

"What's wrong with my son? Isn't the food my mother cooks delicious? Eat it quickly, look at how you picky you, like a big girl."

"Mom, I want to ask you something." Xu Feng didn't know how to ask Li Yun.

"By the way, I want to ask you something, what about Xiaoxia? Why didn't Xiaoxia come with you? Are you having a conflict? Look at your unhappy look."

"No, there is no conflict. This time I'm here to come back to ask you about it."

"What's the matter? I'll just run back and ask."

"Mom, how did my dad die?" Xu Feng asked with courage.

"This kid, what did your dad do? So many years have passed!" Li Yun picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a lion's head into Xu Feng's bowl and said:

"Hurry up and eat your favorite lion head, have you tasted your mother's craftsmanship declined."

"Mom, do you miss my dad now?"

"I don't want to, why do I miss him? Is it useful to think of him?" The smile on Li Yun's face gradually disappeared.

"Then tell me how dad died."

Li Yun put the chopsticks on the table, and there was no smile on her face. She pulled her face and said to Xu Feng:

"Didn't you tell you a long time ago that your father died of illness."

"What disease?"

"cancer."

"What cancer?"

"Lung cancer, your dad smokes a lot and he smokes himself to death."

"No! Not that! I know my dad was killed."

"Nonsense!" Li Yun slapped the table angrily.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I found Uncle Zhang's diary. His name is not Zhang Guifu, but his name is Meng Yuanming. It was his father who killed my father." Xu Feng had already made his promise. He knew that if he didn't explain the matter clearly this time, he would never know the truth in the future.

"I don't know what you said. I only know that your Uncle Zhang is a good person. He has taken care of us for so many years. If you have a promising future, you don't have to be filial to me. It's enough to be filial to you Uncle Zhang." Li Yun began to cry, this is the most powerful weapon for women.

"Mom, do you know that Uncle Zhang is missing and I can't find him. I call him every day, but I can't get through."

"Impossible, he is such a good person, how could something happen?" Li Yun's tears became more and more.

"Really, mom! I couldn't contact Uncle Zhang, so I opened the door of the dumpling restaurant with the key that Uncle Zhang gave me and went in to find him. As a result, I found these diaries." Xu Feng took out Meng Yuanming's diary from his bag and showed it to Li Yun.

With Xu Feng's guidance, Li Yun looked through Meng Yuanming's diary. After reading for a long time, she finally understood the cause and effect of the matter. Li Yun closed Meng Yuanming's diary with her trembling hands and murmured:

"He is really Meng Anyong's son, he is really Meng Anyong's son..."

Looking at his mother's sudden haggard face, he remembered his mother's excitement when he first entered the house, and Xu Feng's heart began to become uneasy.

Li Yun muttered silently for a while, then left her son and got up and entered her own room, and closed the door.

At night, Xu Feng began to dream again. He dreamed that his mother was carrying him to buy candied haws. His mother said that she couldn't carry her back and asked Xu Feng to walk for a while. Xu Feng cried and made him unable to get off. His mother's back was sweating, and the sweat made Xu Feng feel like he was swimming. He swam and swimd. Suddenly, his mother disappeared. He stood in the dark in panic and shouted loudly: Mom! Mom! Mom!

The sun shone on Xu Feng's face, he felt as hot as fire, sweat soaked his pillow, he felt difficult to breathe, and just as he was about to suffocate, he woke up.

Outside the door, there was a crisp sound of pots, pans, spoons and spoons colliding. He got up and opened the door gently, and heard his mother's brisk humming sound from the kitchen:

"You are my little apple, I don't care if you love you too much. Your red face warms my heart and lights up the fire of my life."

Xu Feng rubbed his eyes that had not been opened yet and walked to the kitchen door to see his mother who was humming a song while making breakfast. He didn't understand how she adjusted her mentality.

"Mom." Xu Feng called out Li Yun in a low voice.

"Oh, son, you get up so early. Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly. Breakfast will be ready soon."

While the mother and the mother were having breakfast, Xu Feng looked at his mother whose face turned red again and wanted to say a few words she loved to hear, and to make her happy, so he said:

"mom......"

Before he could say anything, Li Yun immediately answered the words:

"Son, I know what you want to say. But listen to me first."

Li Yun put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, wiped the soup beside her mouth with her hands and said:

"Son, it doesn't matter how your father died. What's important is that he is already dead. We cannot live for the dead. The purpose of our life is the future. For me, my future is that you get married early and I get grandson early. Do you understand?"

"Mom, I understand." Although Xu Feng did not agree with his mother's words in his heart, he nodded and said that he understood that he did not want to see his mother's haggard face again.

"That's right, son, forget what happened before. Don't let hatred cover your eyes. I forgot that this is what the song says, take good care of your future." A bright smile appeared on Li Yun's face.

From that moment on, Xu Feng decided not to ask his mother about his father. His mother worked hard all her life and was under tremendous pressure to raise him. He did not want to destroy his mother's happy old age.

Xu Feng received three offers in total, one of which was with Ning Xiaoxia to her hometown, a big city in the south, and the other was the secretary position of Anyong Group. When he went to find Meng Yuanming that day, he originally wanted to tell Meng Yuanming that he would go to the south with Ning Xiaoxia.

But after returning to school from home, Xu Feng decided to join Anyong Group. He thought he had grown up and his mother's life was fulfilling. He could no longer bother her mother in everything. He had to rely on his own strength to find the truth.

He could not let himself live in confusion, he had to find the truth. His father's death, Uncle Zhang or Uncle Meng's disappearance made him unable to calm down.

The only resistance to An Yong comes from Ning Xiaoxia. Xu Feng and Ning Xiaoxia have been in love for more than a year. They have made countless longings for their future life under the moon and vowed that they will never be separated when they are together. He cannot tell Ning Xiaoxia about his father and Uncle Zhang. He told Xiaoxia that he had some things to stay in Zhongjiang and could not go to the south with him for the time being. If she was willing to wait for him, he would definitely go to find her.

"Are you serious?" Ning Xiaoxia asked.

"Yes, I must stay and figure out some things." Xu Feng answered sincerely.

"Then are you serious about me?" Ning Xiaoxia held back her tears and prevented them from flowing out of her eyes.

"Yes! I just can't go to the south for the time being. I will finish this matter and will definitely go to you, and then devote all my life to you."

"for how long?"

Xu Feng hugged Ning Xiaoxia in his arms and whispered in her ear:

"I don't know. I can't say how long it will take, but I will definitely go to you, whether you wait for me or not."

Ning Xiaoxia broke free from Xu Feng, without saying a word, and turned around silently and walked away. Xu Feng stood there for a long time, but he didn't see Xiao Xia turn around.
