On Li Zhao's birthday, Li Pengxuan and Bai Su'e came together.
Grandpa Li saw that the two of them were not pushing bicycles, but carrying two bags of fruit and two pieces of meat.
Under normal circumstances, this place would be considered pretty good, but he had previously told Li Pengxuan that he wanted to buy a bicycle for Li Zhao.
He also conveyed this news to Li Zhao.
Grandpa Li frowned and looked at Li Pengxuan, "Where's the bicycle?"
"At home." Li Pengxuan said hurriedly.
"Why not push it here? The child lives with me and it's convenient for him to go to and from school by bike."
Li Pengxuan smiled and said, "Dad, Xiaozhao is already a big boy. Staying with you and mom all the time affects your rest."
"Su'e and I have discussed it, and Xiaozhao should go back home to live. Don't worry, what happened before is in the past. Su'e and I will take good care of the child."
Li Pengxuan looked at Li Zhao and said, "Xiao Zhao, Dad was wrong about what happened before. Come home with Dad."
Li Zhao pursed his lips slightly. At this time, Li Zhao still had hope for Li Pengxuan.
He felt that Li Pengxuan still cared about him. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
When Bai Su'e saw Li Zhao nod, she felt unhappy, but the smile on her face was bright and brilliant.
"Xiao Zhao, maybe there were some things I didn't do well in the past. Don't worry, I will definitely change."
Li Zhao didn't say anything. Grandma Li patted Li Zhao's arm gently, and Li Zhao nodded reluctantly.
The meal went on peacefully.
After dinner, Li Pengxuan and Bai Su'e took Li Zhao home.
After arriving home, Li Zhao finally asked, "Dad, where's the bicycle?"
"Xiao Zhao, Dad didn't get the industrial coupons, so he didn't buy a bicycle. Just now at your grandparents' house, I was afraid that your grandpa would be angry if I said I didn't buy it, so I told him a white lie."
Li Zhao pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of disappointment, "I understand."
"You stay at home during this time. Dad will find a way to get industrial coupons. Once I get them, I'll buy you a bicycle."
Li Zhao nodded, "Then I'll go back to my room."
Bai Su'e looked at Li Pengxuan and went to the kitchen to heat up some milk. "I'll get Xiaozhao a glass of milk. You take a rest first."
"You are still careful." Li Pengxuan said with emotion.
Bai Su'e smiled brightly at him, then walked over and knocked on Li Zhao's door.
Li Zhao opened the door and frowned slightly when he saw Bai Su'e. "Aunt Bai, is there something wrong?"
"I'm here to bring you milk." Bai Su'e said softly. When she handed the milk to Li Zhao, she showed the new watch on her wrist.
Then, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "One industrial voucher, you can buy either a bicycle or a watch."
After saying that, Bai Su'e smiled brilliantly and turned back to her room.
Li Zhao stood there in a daze. The cup of milk in his hand was extremely hot, but he seemed not to notice.
Bai Su'e's words kept echoing in my ears, "One industrial voucher can buy either a bicycle or a watch."
Bai Su'e put on a new watch...
In fact, it was not that there were no industrial coupons or that one could not buy a bicycle. It was just that when choosing between the two, Li Pengxuan chose Bai Su'e again.
Li Zhao felt a lump in his throat. He wiped his face with his hand, turned around, closed the door and put the milk aside.
He knew that he couldn't go back to his grandparents' house now. If his grandparents knew that his relationship with his father was still strained, they would definitely be angry.
Grandpa and grandma's health is not good either, he can't be so ignorant.
The more Li Zhao thought about it, the sadder he felt. He lay on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and began to sob.
It would be great if mother were still here. When mother is around, father can act like a father.
He was caring about himself and put himself first in everything at home, and he never let his birthday go empty-handed at that time.
Li Zhao didn't know how long he cried, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning.
When Li Zhao got up, he packed his schoolbag and had breakfast with Li Pengxuan.
Li Pengxuan thought that Li Zhao had accepted the idea of buying the bicycle in two days, but when he saw Li Zhao's eyes fall on Bai Su'e's wrist, he still felt a little guilty.
"Don't worry, Xiaozhao, Dad will get you an industrial voucher as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Li Zhao responded, stood up and went to school with his schoolbag.
After that day, Li Zhao basically didn't talk much at home.
They ate whatever was available. When Li Pengxuan was not at home, Li Zhao would not sit at the table. A strange balance was formed between him and Bai Su'e.
Of course, Bai Su'e would often tell Li Pengxuan about Li Zhao's little problems and her own forbearance.
Li Pengxuan could also notice that Li Zhao was dull and silent at home.
After all, this is his first child, and Li Pengxuan still has feelings for Li Zhao.
So Bai Su'e said that she didn't care about Li Zhao's rudeness and neglect towards her, and Li Pengxuan naturally wouldn't lose his temper with Li Zhao like before.
The more Bai Su'e thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted Li Pengxuan and Li Zhao to quarrel, but Li Pengxuan was trying to smooth things over!
Asking her to give in to Li Zhao more, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Due to Bai Su'e's deliberate obstruction, Li Pengxuan was ultimately unable to exchange for the industrial vouchers.
After a semester, Li Zhao still hadn't ridden a bike.
During the holidays, Li Zhao moved directly to Grandpa Li and Grandma Li's house.
He is a big boy now, and except for studying time, he can help his grandparents with work at other times.
He not only washes his own clothes, but also takes the initiative to wash his grandparents' clothes.
Li Zhao only has a smile on his face when he is at his grandparents' house.
Grandpa Li and Grandma Li also found out that Li Pengxuan did not buy a bicycle for Li Zhao.
After knowing this, Grandpa Li scolded Li Pengxuan harshly again.
But it was no use scolding, the child still didn't get a bicycle.
In the end, Grandpa Li secretly went to the black market, exchanged it for an industrial coupon, and then took Li Zhao to buy a bicycle.
"Now that I have a bicycle, I can live at my grandparents' house." Grandpa Li said happily.
Li Zhao's nose felt sore. His grandparents were so good to him.
Li Zhao reached out and hugged Grandpa Li, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Kid, why is he being so polite to his grandfather?" Grandpa Li patted Li Zhao's shoulder.
When Grandma Li saw this scene, she turned around and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
In this way, Li Zhao also lived at his grandparents' house while going to school.
Occasionally, Li Pengxuan would ask Li Zhao to come back home and stay for a few days.
Li Zhao was naturally unwilling to go home, but Li Pengxuan insisted. After all, if he got a new wife and his children didn't come home, it would not be good for his reputation if this got out.
Li Zhao lived like this, occasionally staying at home for a few days, but mostly staying at Grandpa Li and Grandma Li's house.
In a blink of an eye, Li Zhao was sixteen years old, and Li Pengxuan and Bai Su'e had been married for three years.
For three years, Bai Su'e's belly was still quiet, which made her more and more anxious.
She finally became pregnant this year.
Bai Su'e's heart was relieved, and at the same time, a new idea came to her mind...
