Before leaving, Liu Zhengliang went home to have dinner with his brother.Liu Zhengguang felt reluctant to part with him, but he still said words of disgust.After completing his resignation, Liu Zhengliang prepared a farewell gift for his colleagues: giving Huang Dongsheng a bottle of good wine and making a list of books and papers suitable for Che Mingming's study.

He went to see Zhang Jiao again.The girl couldn't speak yet, but she could smile at him.The child's mother took out an old envelope containing a few hundred yuan as a thank-you gift that her family had collected.Liu Zhengliang couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it first and then deposit the money back into his child's account.

While dragging the suitcase and waiting for the bus, Ai Chen pulled him into the wreath shop and took out beer and Coke to say goodbye for the last time.The two of them got closer as they talked and couldn't help but kiss each other.But Liu Zhengliang backed down, saying that he had no money and suffered from snowphobia, so he could only live in the south in the future.Ai Chen also told him a secret that had always been hidden: she had literacy difficulties and could not read.

Liu Zhengliang finally got on the bus heading south.Chen Junnan sent him to the station. Thinking that in the future, friends and colleagues might only have online contact, he couldn't help but sigh that it would be difficult to meet again.Liu Zhengguang was afraid that Ai Chen would be uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to accompany her. She smiled on the outside, but felt unhappy in her heart.

The scenery outside the car window recedes, and Liu Zhengliang is still thinking about the past events Ai Chen told last night.When he was a child, his father Ai San took the blame for Mi Si and was imprisoned. Mi Si was caught again because of uncontrollable theft.Police officer Lao Li saw that she had no one to take care of her, so he took her home and adopted her.She could recite poems and do math, but she could never remember the glyphs. She was misunderstood by her teacher and often laughed at by her classmates.

Lao Li's son Li Xiaozhu is honest and a little fat, and is often bullied.Ai Chen protects him and recognizes him as brother and sister.Later, Lao Li died in a car accident while on duty, and his two children lost support.In order to survive, Ai Chen approached his uncle who was doing a white job and became an apprentice to learn mourning and funeral etiquette, hoping to support himself and his younger brother with this craft.

Leaving the textbooks that always frustrated her, she learned quickly in this job and gradually learned how to send the deceased away and comfort their families.After her master passed away, she and Cai Zhuzhu had grown up and saved money to open their own shop.After her parents were released from prison, Mi Si accompanied her to purchase goods and negotiate prices. Ai San taught herself how to repair and beautify corpses, and the family gradually started a business.

Liu Zhengliang originally thought that Ai Chen had taken over the business from his father, but after hearing this, he realized that it was she who supported the family first, and his father joined later.He admired her very much, but avoided her questioning about whether she could accept him, and still said that he would not return to Fucheng in the future.

Before leaving, he analyzed her literacy difficulties from a doctor's perspective: she can learn knowledge from the radio, her understanding and memory are not limited everywhere, and her childhood nutrition and growth experience may also have an impact, which can be further examined and treated.Ai Chen was angry and sad, blaming him for leaving him alone since he decided to leave.Liu Zhengliang did not continue to explain and left the store silently.
