Lin Tao listened silently. In fact, what Li Chengxi said was almost the same as what she thought. At the same time, she could understand the conflict in Li Chengxi's heart.

Because his mother died on the same day as Li Mingcheng was born, he could not forget his hatred for Li Guodong, Zhang Sufen and others.

However, Li Mingcheng's persistence made Li Chengqi relax.

He once asked himself if doing this would be unfair to his deceased mother.

But over the past twenty years, he had to admit that he no longer had the same hatred towards Li Mingcheng as he did in the past.

Lin Tao sighed, opened her arms and hugged the man's waist, leaned her face on his chest, and said, "Cheng Xi, don't think too much. This is not your fault. Even if mom knew, she wouldn't blame you. Just face it according to your own thoughts."

It’s not that they have forgotten the suffering their mother has endured, they will never forget those things.

Since Li Mingcheng was born to Zhang Sufen, it was no wonder that Li Chengxi hated him. But over the years, Li Mingcheng relied on himself to slowly make Li Chengxi's hatred for him fade away.

Just let it be, and let the two brothers get along with each other as they should.

After all, if mother knew, she would definitely want Li Chengxi to live an easier life.

****************************

Early the next morning, the person who went to the army canteen to get food was Li Mingcheng.

After Lin Tao got up, she saw Li Mingcheng looking at the vegetable garden in the yard, and he exclaimed that the vegetables were so delicious.

Seeing Lin Tao wake up, Li Mingcheng said, "Sister-in-law, you are awake. I have prepared the food and put it on the table with a lid. I chose two light dishes, one meat and one vegetable. I don't know if you like them. My brother has already gone to work. He said that you don't have to study early today. You can sleep a little later and go to school so that I won't disturb you."

Lin Tao nodded: "I see, have you eaten it?"

"I've eaten. Come and eat with me. But don't worry, sister-in-law. My brother personally divided your portion before we even started eating. It's definitely not our leftovers." Li Mingcheng said, afraid that Lin Tao would think they were leaving leftovers for her.

For every word Lin Tao said, Li Mingcheng seemed to have ten words waiting for her.

Lin Tao found it a little funny. After listening to Li Chengxi's story about his and Li Mingcheng's childhood last night, Lin Tao's impression of Li Mingcheng improved a little.

When I looked at Li Mingcheng again this morning, I found that he seemed to be more handsome than when I first saw him yesterday. Perhaps it was because he had a good sleep and was fully refreshed.

And it's not that he is completely different from Li Chengxi. There are some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes.

"Okay, then I'll wash up and go have breakfast." Lin Tao said.

After finishing her breakfast, Lin Tao was about to go to school. She asked Li Mingcheng, "I'm going to school now. Are you going to your brother's place or just stay at home?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mingcheng said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to work."

Lin Tao wanted to say that she didn't need anyone to send her off, but then she thought it would be boring for Li Mingcheng to be alone at home, so she agreed after thinking about it.

"Okay, you can go to the school and have a look around." Lin Tao said.

While walking on the road, Lin Tao noticed that from time to time, female soldiers would look in their direction and whisper something. When they noticed the looks from Lin Tao and Li Mingcheng, they immediately blushed and trotted away hand in hand.

Lin Tao glanced at Li Mingcheng. Why were they running away when this silly boy was still stroking his head?

"Sister-in-law," Li Mingcheng said, "I really want to thank you."

Lin Tao frowned, not knowing why Li Mingcheng said this: "Why do you suddenly say that?"

Li Mingcheng said, "My brother is more cheerful than before. I can feel that he is very happy now. Sister-in-law, my brother has become like this, thanks to you. You don't know that my brother didn't plan to get married before, because of the things at home, he might be a little repulsive to the idea of ​​marriage. At that time, I thought, if my brother doesn't get married, then I won't get married either. Anyway, no matter what my brother does, I will accompany him."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Although my brother definitely doesn't want me to accompany him, it's all right now. He has you, sister-in-law, to accompany him. You can live a simple life on the island, grow vegetables and flowers in the yard, and even have children. I'm going to be an uncle, sister-in-law, I'm so happy."

"Really, I am happy for my brother from the bottom of my heart." Li Mingcheng said seriously.

Lin Tao listened to him patiently and smiled at the cheerful boy. "You had no choice about what happened back then. You don't have to blame yourself."

Those two people should be the ones to blame.

We walked all the way to the school. It happened that the students were all in class at that time. There were only Xu Yuting and Xiao Qingming who was sleeping in a small cot in the office.

When Aunt Wang was here, Xu Yuting would come to work, and Aunt Wang would take care of the child at home. Now Aunt Wang has returned to her hometown, and Wang Yuanliang usually trains in the group, exposed to the wind and sun, and the three-month-old baby needs to be breastfed from time to time, so naturally Xu Yuting takes him to school.

Xu Yuting has about three classes a day. When she is in class, she will ask other teachers to help supervise the students. Usually, one of Lin Tao and Zhong Jing will have time to help supervise the students.

Little Qingming was well-behaved and quiet, and was very easy to take care of, so we got along well during this period.

Xu Yuting had just finished preparing for the lesson, as the next class was her foreign language class. She saw that Xiao Qingming had woken up at some point and made some "dee-dee" sounds from his mouth, which amused Xiao Qingming a few times.

There are two small dolls hanging on Xiao Qingming's rocking bed, which were made by Lin Tao. Lin Tao made several dolls in total, gave some to Xiao Qingming, and kept the rest, intending to use them to coax her own children.

Little Qingming stared at the little doll with full concentration.

Lin Tao walked in and greeted her. Xu Yuting smiled and noticed Li Mingcheng following behind Lin Tao. She asked, "Who is this?"

Lin Tao introduced Li Mingcheng to Xu Yuting, and Li Mingcheng smiled at Xu Yuting and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Li Mingcheng."

Xu Yuting said: "You two brothers don't look alike, but you both look good and have completely different personalities."

Xu Yuting didn't know about the things happening in the Li family, and Lin Tao had never mentioned them to anyone in particular. She smiled and didn't explain.

Li Mingcheng didn't say anything. He looked at little Qingming on the cradle and teased him, "This child is so cute. How old is he?"

Xu Yuting said: "It's just been a hundred days."

"He grabbed my hand. His hand was so soft." After little Qingming's little hand grabbed one of Li Mingcheng's fingers, he was so happy and scared that he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would accidentally hurt little Qingming.

Lin Tao smiled and explained: "Xiao Qingming just likes you."

Finally, Xiao Qingming loosened Li Mingcheng's fingers, and Li Mingcheng was able to move freely. He turned around and said to Lin Tao: "Sister-in-law, when the time comes, the child you and my brother have will also be this cute."

After a while, the bell rang, Lin Tao went to class, and Li Mingcheng sat in the office for a while. He teased Xiao Qingming for a while, but Xiao Qingming fell asleep again soon.

Li Mingcheng lost interest and said to Xu Yuting, "Sister-in-law, after my sister-in-law finishes class, tell her that I'm going to look for my eldest brother."

Xu Yuting nodded: "Okay, go ahead, I'll tell her."

When Li Mingcheng left, Jin Pingping had just finished her class. After noticing Li Mingcheng, she never took her eyes off him. She was unable to come back to her senses for a long time until Li Mingcheng's figure disappeared.

Jin Pingping quickly grabbed Teacher Zhang next to her and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

When Lin Tao introduced Li Mingcheng to Xu Yuting, Teacher Zhang happened to pass by the office and overheard it. He then said, "It seems like he is Captain Li's younger brother."

"Captain Li's younger brother?" Jin Pingping muttered, thinking that the two brothers didn't look alike, but both of them looked good.

Some ideas suddenly occurred to her.

On the other side, Lin Tao returned to the office after class and heard Xu Yuting tell her that Li Mingcheng went to the group to find Li Chengxi.

Lin Tao just smiled and didn't care. Li Mingcheng's personality was much more lively than Li Chengxi's. It was obvious that he was a man who couldn't sit still. Lin Tao had guessed long ago that he wouldn't be able to stay here for long.
