Smelly Hands

Standing beside his wife, Li Chenmo smiled and said, "You are too kind, Second Aunt. Ah Li is still young and has much to learn. As long as he grows up healthy and happy, that is enough for us. We don't need him to achieve greatness."

Dong Li was startled by his father's words. He had assumed the rigorous training and studies he underwent were meant to mold him into the family's pride and bring glory to the Li family. 

To learn that his parents' only wish was for his happiness and health touched him deeply. While he was lost in thought, he was brought back by the sound of the train's horn.

Li Chenmo patted his shoulder and said, "Ah Li, stay close and keep an eye on your grandpa."

Nodding at his father's words, Dong Li picked up their bags and followed his father closely while holding onto his Grandpa's arm.

As usual, Li Chenmo held his wife's hand and carried a bag in the other as they walked onto the train platform.
