This is probably the case for many parents. No matter how tall or mature their children are, in the eyes of their fathers, they will always be the child who wants to ride a big horse.
It’s not that they don’t trust their children, they just want to take more responsibility for their children while they are still capable.
Over time, they have the illusion that their children are still the same children who need someone to take care of them.
Only when they are really old and helpless do they suddenly realize that the children who have always needed their care have grown up long ago.
This is what Li Hu looks like in Li Tian's eyes at this moment.
In his eyes, this son is dull and inflexible, and can only do things in a dull manner. If he hadn't always looked after him, he would have been deceived by others even if he went to the world outside the mountains alone.
So he often mocked his son for wanting to eat swan meat, and wanted to find a daughter-in-law for his son who was not so beautiful, but was virtuous and obedient enough to take care of the family.
The young ladies in the city are all pampered. How could his son subdue such a woman?
So when Li Tian heard Fang Chang mentioning his son, Li Tian conditionally said with disdain:
"Just him?"
Li Hu's temples jumped when he heard this, and he unconsciously tightened the rim of the porcelain bowl with his hands.
At this time, he really wanted to hit a tiger in front of me and tell him that he was already strong.
But he thought about it and gave up.
Probably if he really went to hunt a tiger, his father would slap him first and curse him saying that it was so dangerous for him to go. If he was eaten by a tiger, his family would be wiped out.
When Fang Chang saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Uncle Li, you underestimate Brother Li too much.
Brother Li is by no means a creature in the pool. I have told you before, not to mention the ladies from wealthy families in the city, they are the princesses and princesses of the Tang Dynasty. Brother Li is more than enough to match them.
If Brother Li is willing to go out, within twenty years, he will be granted the title of marquis and become a general, which will be nothing more than a matter of chance."
"Really, does this bastard have such ability?" Li Tian looked full of doubt.
Fang Chang said: "What does Uncle Li think of me?"
Li Tian said: "Boss Xiaofang is naturally a capable person. A person as powerful as Boss Dafang must not be as powerful as Boss Xiaofang at this age."
In Li Tian's meager knowledge, Fang's father was the most powerful person he had ever seen.
In addition to kindness, his repayment to his father was also mixed with a bit of awe.
Therefore, when he treated Fang Chang, he never regarded him as a simple young man.
Fang Chang said: "Then Li Shuxin doesn't believe what I say?"
Li Tian hesitated for a rare moment. He had a hunch that his answer would be very important.
But in the end he nodded and said:
"Boss Xiaofang is the son of Boss Dafang. Your words are Boss Dafang's words, so I believe your words."
Fang Chang raised his eyebrows and said excitedly:
"Then how about I make a bet with Uncle Li, on whether Brother Li can make a difference in ten years and impress Uncle Li?"
Li Tian was not happy, nor did he mock his son anymore. Instead, he calmed down and said:
"I don't want him to get ahead, and I don't want him to marry any princess. I just want him to be safe and sound. I'll be satisfied seeing him get married and start a family."
Fang Chang had a smile on his face and suddenly felt something in his heart.
It’s no wonder that with Li Hu’s qualifications, future generations have never heard of his fame and stories.
Li Tian had such expectations for him, and he was a filial person. Even if he wanted to leave the family, he would most likely have to take care of his parents in their old age.
During this period, you may have to marry a wife, have children, and have your own family due to family pressure.
Even if the spirit in his heart has not faded away, in the era of spiritual recovery, big changes occur every year. No matter how good his qualifications are, they are short-lived and knocked to the bottom of the sea by the waves of the times.
Of course, he most likely chose an ordinary life.
It’s not that this is bad, it’s just that it’s a little less exciting.
He should have been shining brightly, but he was content to remain dim and dusty.
Fang Chang looked at Li Hu and asked:
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
He kept focusing the topic on Li Hu, not because he wanted to meddle in other people's business, but because he wanted to ask Li Hu to help him.
Although the Purple Bamboo Forest is nice, he will not live here permanently.
It's too dull and boring here.
What he likes is the bustling world of flowers, fine wine and beautiful people.
So he needs a mountain guard, someone who will also guard his inheritance.
In his heart, Lingzhu Peak has long been regarded as his own territory.
Li Hu glanced at his father, his eyelids drooped, and he said dullly:
"I'm staying with my dad."
Fang Chang was not surprised at all by this answer. Although Li Tian on the side was moved, he cursed in a low voice:
"Little bastard, is your father unable to walk or draw his bow? Does he still need you to accompany him?"
But he did not push his son out after all.
Although he hopes his son will have a bright future, he also wants his son to be safe.
Throughout the ages, many people have pursued meritorious deeds, but only a few have succeeded. Most of them have turned into bones to make wedding dresses for others.
Fang Chang pretended to be regretful, and even thought for a moment before saying:
"Brother Li, I originally wanted to give you a good fortune. In the future, let alone being granted a title of lord or general, it would be easy to travel in and out of Qingming. However, it's just that it's hard to leave your homeland, which makes me quite hesitant.
But after getting along with you these days, I also know that you are a good man who values friendship and keeps your promises.
I still decide to leave this fate in your hands.
You just don’t want to leave the mountain, but you can become stronger and protect your family which is great.”
As he spoke, he took out a page of paper from his pocket - it was the page that recorded the Qi-into-Physical Technique.
Of course, I went to the abridged version of the Kryptonian Life Ceremony.
This skill and the paper puppet technique were always carried by him.
"Don't you think my technique of controlling paper dolls is magical? If you can learn it, you can do it too."
His base is low and his environment is restricted, so he can only get started by using the Kryptonian ritual.
But now that the Purple Bamboo Forest is about to be conquered, and Li Hu's qualifications are very good, he only needs a little more time to cultivate his magic power in the Purple Bamboo Forest and advance to refine his Qi.
Li Hu's eyes showed longing and he murmured: "I can do that too..."
But he didn't reach out.
There is no reward for no merit, and he himself is very resistant to owing favors to others.
But Li Tian stretched out his hand to help him catch it, smiling happily and saying:
"Boss Xiaofang, this... I really don't know how to thank you."
With that said, he patted Li Hu on the back and said, "Why don't you thank Boss Xiao Fang quickly?"
He has also seen Fang Chang's magic. If his son can master one and a half moves, he will have the ability to settle down in the future.
With such benefits, why would he care about face?
Besides, he owed his life to Boss Dafang, and he didn't care about his debt to Boss Xiaofang.
Anyway, the Li family owes the Fang family money, and they will pay it back slowly in the future.
Li Hu saw that his father had already left, and with the longing in his heart, he couldn't return it, but he couldn't say anything that would make a difference.
In the end, he just cupped his fists and said, "Thank you."
Fang Chang reminded him thoughtfully: "Brother Li, it's a little difficult to get started with this technique. Don't be anxious when you go back to practice. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me."
After spending these days together, he also knew that Li Hu was literate.
The Li family's family background was not difficult, so they sent Li Hu out to attend school for several years when he was a child. The Li family even had a small bookcase.
