Since my cousin became a big official, my uncle never talked to me when he returned to his hometown, and his relatives couldn't hide.

　　In the quiet countryside, the courtyard of uncle's house is full of the aroma of kitchen smoke. Uncle sat in a chair, holding an old book in one hand and stroking his big dog in the other. His eyes were full of deep melancholy.

　　"Dad, I'm going to study in the city. I'll be a big official in the future and let you live a good life!" Aside, the young cousin took the uncle's hand and was full of determination.

　　Uncle smiled, patted his cousin on the head and said, "Good boy, as long as you are fair, I will be satisfied."

　　The cousin was silent for a while, then nodded and said to the uncle, "Dad, don't worry, I will!"

　　However, as the cousin gradually climbed to the high position, those once promises became more and more vague.

　　His hands began to corrupt, and he did whatever it took to gain power. People in the village began to talk about it. They began to avoid uncle, and the smoke in the yard became more and more sparse.

　　At the entrance of the village, uncle looked at the distant sky and his heart was full of pain. He shook his head and silently said to himself, "Son, how have you changed?"

　　In the evening, people in the village gather together and talk about their cousins. They all feel that my cousin has changed, and he is no longer the child who gives them hope.

　　"Li Desheng, do you know your son Li Gen?" A middle-aged man asked cautiously.

　　Uncle looked at him with a hint of pain in his eyes. He sighed deeply and then said slowly, "I know."

　　After that, they never spoke again, just looked at the fire quietly, and their hearts were full of helplessness and melancholy. This night, the whole village fell silent.

　　With the development of my cousin, he took my uncle Li Desheng to live in the city. Uncle's life is simple, with a local flavor, which seems to be out of place in the city. But his son, Li Gen, has transformed himself into an important figure in the city.

　　Uncle was accepted by Li Gen to live in the city. He watched his son become increasingly corrupt, and his heart was full of helplessness and pain. Li Gen, who has always been arrogant and rude, even ignored public opinion, deeply regretted Li Desheng.

　　"Root, do you know what people in the village think of you?" Uncle tried to talk to Li Gen again and again, but was always interrupted by his "What do you know?".

　　"Father, you have lived in the country for too long, and you don't know the world. Power is everything. You don't need to understand their thoughts, you just need to control their destiny. " Li Gen, leaning on the luxurious leather sofa, proudly said.

　　Uncle was speechless. He looked at Li Gen with disappointment and pain in his eyes.

　　Li Gen's series of behaviors made his uncle grieve. He saw his son trapped in the mire of power and unable to extricate himself. He can't accept Li Gen's disregard and arrogance to the villagers, and he can't accept Li Gen's persistence and infatuation with power.

　　"Root, if you go on like this, you will go to extinction!" Uncle's heart ached, and he warned Li Gen painfully.

　　"Father, what do you know? This is power, and this is the life I want! " Li Gen responded with a smile.

　　Uncle was speechless again. He could only silently watch Li Gen go to the abyss, and his heart was full of weakness and sadness.

　　Looking at Li Gen's sinking, my uncle was heartbroken. He decided to go back to the countryside and his hometown, hoping to find some lost things from there.

　　However, when he packed his bags and set foot on his way home, he found that his once familiar hometown was no longer his safe haven.

　　"Li Desheng is back!" Lao Zhang at the village entrance saw the figure of Li Desheng and shouted in surprise.

　　Uncle smiled and waved to him, and then stepped into the village. He looked at those familiar houses and fields, and his heart was full of emotion.

　　However, when he entered the village, he found that the villagers were avoiding his eyes, and some even turned around and left when they saw him.

　　"Uncle, how did you come back?" His distant nephew saw him and asked curiously.

　　"I want to come back and have a look." Uncle answered with a smile.

　　However, his nephew did not respond to his smile, but quickly turned and left. Uncle looked at his back and felt a cold in his heart.

　　This indifference, like a cold baptism, made uncle completely awake. He began to realize that the villagers were alienated from him, not only because his son was a corrupt official, but also because they felt that he and his son were birds of a feather.

　　"Me, what else can I do?" Li Desheng sat alone under the big tree at the head of the village. He looked at the distant fields and his heart was filled with despair.

　　Uncle completely lost everything. He tried to go back to his hometown and find what he lost, but he found that he had lost everything.

　　Soon, Li Gen's corruption case was reported, and he was arrested and sentenced to severe punishment. All his property was confiscated, and uncle had nothing again. When the news came, the villagers' reaction was unusually cold.

　　"Li Gen was arrested!" Aunt Liu at the entrance of the village announced the news.

　　The villagers gathered together and looked at each other. Their eyes meet on uncle, full of coldness and alienation.

　　"His son deserves it." Lao Zhang said with a smile.

　　"Yes, an honest child can do such a thing." Aunt Liu lamented.

　　Uncle was speechless. He just stood there silently and let them talk. He looked at their distant eyes, and his heart was as painful as a needle.

　　The end of the corruption case in Li Gen brought a brief carnival to the villagers, but for uncle, it was the end of his life.

　　He lost his son, he lost his family, he lost everything. He can only live alone in this world and let time pass.

　　However, at this time, an old friend of Uncle appeared.

　　"Li Desheng, are you okay?" The old friend asked with concern.

　　Uncle nodded, and then said softly, "I'm fine."

　　Although his voice is weak, it is full of firmness and hope. He knows that he can't sink any more, he has to stand up and start his life again.

　　Cold eyes, talk about a run, all this uncle survived. He knows that his son's sin, as a father, he can't deny it, he can only accept it.

　　The painful past cannot be changed, but the future life goes on, and he must stick to it.

　　Since that day, uncle has started a new life. When he wakes up in the morning, he always goes out from his yard first to visit his acres of land. That's his hope and that's his future.

　　He works alone in the field, day after day, regardless of wind and rain. He was silent, only letting sweat flow. His hard work, his sweat and his silent tolerance were all his best answers to the villagers.

　　The villagers began to notice his change. They saw him plowing alone in the rain, harvesting silently in the scorching sun, and watching him stay in that field in the morning and evening, watching the hope of life.

　　He has no superfluous words, no pleading eyes, only firm eyes and solid steps.

　　Gradually, people began to understand him, his helplessness and his determination. They began to care about him and greet him, and that indifference gradually disappeared and was replaced by understanding and care.

　　His tenacity and hard work touched everyone. Even though his figure is getting old and even he is stumbling, his eyes are still as bright as stars. He sticks to his own path and will not compromise easily no matter how difficult it is.

　　His son is his pain, but it is also his motivation. He hopes to tell his son and everyone that he is Li Desheng and that he will live, bear and face it in his own way.

　　Uncle's story, like the seeds in the soil, will grow sturdily after the baptism of wind and rain, and the flowers of life, no matter how cold, will stick to the expected warmth. Uncle is like this, he walked out of his own life path in his own way.
