Hanjiang City, Yejia.

When Ye Zhiqiu sang the line "Am I your pride?", Ye Guoqiang's lips almost opened slightly, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Ye Zhiqiu has always been his pride.

Since childhood, Ye Zhiqiu has been called "other people's children" by his neighbors.

At that time, although the family was not living well off, Ye's father and Ye's mother's faces were full of smiles every day.

Until the end of the college entrance examination and college... Because of Ye Zhiqiu's choice, there was a trace of rumors.

But Ye Guoqiang and Lin Huifen always believed in their son from beginning to end.

But now, Ye Guoqiang, who has been called "Ye Gong" for decades in his work unit, has become "Ye Zhiqiu's father".

All kinds of people want to find Ye Zhiqiu through his connections.

But Ye Guoqiang never agreed once and reminded his mother Lin Huifen again and again.

I can't cause trouble for my son.

Ye Zitong, who was already crying with tears in her eyes, rushed to Ye Guoqiang's side.

"Dad, I love you!"

"I didn't listen to you before, I was wrong!"

Ye Guoqiang was slightly startled, stretched out his broad palm, and patted Ye Zitong's head gently.

"Go, go, don't block the TV."

Lin Huifen on the sofa waved and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"This kid Zhiqiu...singing it in front of a national audience is too straightforward."

When Ye Zhiqiu sang the last line of the chorus, "The child you care about, has grown up," the audience in the live broadcast room was filled with worried comments.

"Tears!!!"

"Dad, when I grow up, I can make money for my family!"

"Dad, I'm sorry that I failed as a son..."

"Dad, I really miss you."

"Dad, I failed the college entrance examination and disappointed you, but next year I will definitely make you proud of me!"

...

In a certain community, Huo's family.

Huo Shiyun watched the "Singer" program on TV.

In the past, her favorite idol was Zhang Yifan, but since she decided to be a fan of Ye Zhiqiu, she was finally able to calm down and understand the meaning of Ye Zhiqiu's lyrics.

Ye Zhiqiu sang a lyric full of sincerity and true feelings, which seemed to hit her heart.

Unknowingly, this "problem girl" in the eyes of others in the past seemed to have gradually changed.

Huo Shiyun secretly glanced at her father Huo Yan, who was watching the screen silently.

The family is a single-parent family. In Huo Shiyun's childhood memories, Huo Yan has always played an omnipotent role.

My father runs a martial arts gym. No child in the community dares to bully me. As a girl, I even became the king of children.

The family's finances are not bad, and I never have to worry about whether I have enough pocket money. If I don't have enough, I just ask my dad for it.

As a senior in high school this year, when her college entrance examination results came out, although she was prepared, Huo Yan still felt a flash of disappointment in her eyes when she saw the numbers on the interface.

At that time, Huo Shiyun felt that it would be okay even if she couldn't go to college. With so many employees at her family's martial arts gym, she was not the only one left behind.

I have already found a job, four years earlier than those who went to college.

However, Huo Shiyun now finds that her father, who can satisfy her everything, seems a little different from what she remembered.

In the past, Huo Yan had a strong and broad body, but as he got older, he already had a slightly protruding belly.

Her short hair was still standing up like steel needles, and there was already a hint of gray on the temples.

It seems that my father was complaining to himself yesterday that he was sparring too hard with the students yesterday and his waist hurt again...

The sudden emotion filled Huo Shiyun's eyes, and tears suddenly flowed down.

For the first time in eighteen years, she was shocked to realize that at some point, the father who stood like a king in her life was gradually eroded by the years.

"Dad..."

Hearing his daughter's choking voice, Huo Yan quickly looked over.

Huo Shiyun wiped her nose and tears and cried: "Dad, I'm sorry..."

Huo Yan was slightly startled, and his big, calloused hands covered Huo Shiyun's head.

"Why are you crying? Dad is here."

...

Yangcheng, a real estate sales center.

It's evening, but the sales center is still brightly lit, welcoming everyone who wants to settle down in this big city.

Li Fei and his wife, who had just received the certificate, were planning to swipe their cards tonight to book the house of their choice.

Houses in Yangcheng are so expensive that in addition to his wife, he has to spend all his parents' savings to pay the down payment.

I really like a large apartment of more than 100 square meters that can be completed in one step, but the money is still quite low.

The night before, when Li Fei told his parents about this situation, his father thought for a few seconds and handed the phone to Li Fei.

"I bought it. I still have 200,000 in my social security card. You can see how to transfer it out."

Now, after spending most of the day in the sales center, the building and price have almost been negotiated. On the other side of the rest area, the TV is playing the live broadcast of "Singer". The "Father" that Ye Zhiqiu is singing makes Li Fei silent.

This last 200,000 yuan is the money for the retirement of my parents who have worked for most of their lives!

My mother is still a confinement nanny for others. My retired father is still a little unwell from time to time...

The song "Always do your best and give me the best" came from the screen. Unknowingly, Li Fei's eyes became blurred.

The lover on the side was startled and asked quickly: "Dear, what's wrong?"

Li Fei took a deep breath and said, "Honey, we don't want to buy a large apartment anymore, let's buy a small one."

The woman was stunned. Although she didn't know why her husband suddenly changed his plan, she thought about it and nodded.

"Well, we will work hard to replace it in the future!"

After paying the down payment and looking at the balance in the card, Li Fei breathed out a heavy breath, as if a heavy stone in his heart had been put down.

As soon as I transferred the balance back intact, the call came over.

"A Fei, why did I receive a text message that credited 200,000 yuan to the card?"

Li Fei smiled and said, "Dad, the text message is correct, I forwarded it back."

"I can't use this money..."

...

On the stage, Ye Zhiqiu, who has a hoarse voice, sang the last line of the lyrics.

【Thanks for having you along the way】

In the reverberation of the accompaniment, a sentence finally appeared on the stage screen.

"The so-called father-son-mother-daughter relationship only means that you and him are destined to be together, that you will continue to watch his back fade away in this life."

"You stand at this end of the path and watch him disappear where the path turns."

"We are growing up slowly, but they are getting older..."

On this road of life, we can never catch up with our parents, so we can only look forward to the time as the lyrics say.

Time should go slower and don't let my father grow old anymore.
