Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Qingming Festival Ancestor Worship (1)

As a son, he should have some responsibilities and obligations. This is not the modern era where he can act as he pleases, but an ancient time where families hold their honor as a unit!

Liu Sisi’s words left Di Xuan silent.

Lately, he had been more cautious about his actions. Ever since his father returned safely, even though his mother still treated him well as always, that “well” seemed to have more superficial aspects, with much of its essence missing.

For instance, she used to personally guide his studies and arrange his meals. Now, she would mostly wait for him to finish his homework, and when they met, she would casually ask a couple of questions. The one arranging his meals had become his attendant student, Le Ping.

Yesterday, she had brought him the clothes and shoes needed for the Qingming Festival. Her speech was even getting more indifferent…

All of these changes made him feel estranged and unsure what to do. Yet, he understood that he had hurt her feelings…

“Gain and loss always come hand in hand. The heavens are always balanced; when you gain something, you are destined to lose something, or you need to exert some effort. There’s no free lunch in this world. Even if there is, you should consider whether the lunch is a bait thrown by others…”

Liu Sisi looked back when she heard nothing from behind for a long while. She saw Di Xuan standing far behind her at the intersection, his eyes full of complicated thoughts and accusations.

At that moment, Liu Sisi felt like the biggest villain…

“Xuan’er, do you have something to say to me?”

Di Xuan quickened his pace to catch up with Liu Sisi, but suddenly didn’t know how to start: “Mother, I…”

What should he say?

Should he say she no longer cared for him? But she still made sure Le Ping took good care of his meals.

Should he say she mistreated him? Even that was untrue. He had everything he needed in terms of food, clothing, housing and so on. The only difference was that the person doing it had changed…

“I… don’t have much to say. I just… I just miss Mr. Xu…” Di Xuan lowered his head.

Naturally, Liu Sisi could tell Di Xuan was not telling the truth; her eyes flashed, but she didn’t press on about it.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely persuade Mr. Xu to come and teach at our academy. It’s just a matter of time!”

After speaking, she turned and walked ahead.

Probably, the reason why Elder Xu disdainfully refused her was that he did not believe in her ability. But what about it? She would show him what she was capable of!

Two days before the Qingming Festival, Di Yelei took Liu Sisi and the children back home with Elderly Mr. Di.

It had been many days since they last returned home. The sudden homecoming gave them a sense of familiarity everywhere.

Especially Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, as soon as they got home, they started running around joyfully, dashing in and out of the house, then running outside to have more fun and pee a few times.

The sound of dogs barking echoed at the foot of the mountain, announcing to the surrounding villagers that the Di Family had returned!
