Li Xin saw that several of them stopped their chopsticks to listen to themselves, so he said: "Don't just chat, hurry up and eat fish, come and come, the chopsticks are not easy to clip, I will use a soup spoon to scoop it for you." ”

Chatting with Jiang Xiaolan and several of her students made Li Xin feel very relaxed, just like many people feel, in fact, Li Xin is still a very student-like person in his bones, he is very bad at dealing with those people and things in society, but when he is with students with relatively simple thoughts, he is like a fish in water, and he feels relaxed from the bottom of his heart.

In such a relaxed environment, gradually, Li Xin forgot the uneasiness in her heart and slowly calmed down.

After Huang Hongliang got off work, thinking that there was no one to cook at home, and he had no appetite when he was bored, he bought a few packets of instant noodles on the road and prepared to take them home for dinner.

When he came home and walked in, his son, who was in the second grade of junior high school, was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Huang Hongliang, who has been dizzy by all kinds of worries these days, remembered that today is the weekend, and his son, who lives in school, has to come back every weekend.

Don't let your son eat instant noodles with him!

Huang Hongliang put the instant noodles in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Let's go, son, go out to eat with Dad." ”

His son was watching the TV series with relish, didn't want to move his nest, and asked, "Where to eat?"

Huang Hongliang said: "Whatever you want, you can eat whatever you want." ”

His son said, "Don't wait for my mother?"

Huang Hongliang said: "Your mother won't come back to eat." ”

His son asked, "So where did my mom go?"

Huang Hongliang said angrily: "The leg is on her, how do I know where she went." ”

His son looked at Huang Hongliang's expression and asked cautiously, "Dad, you and my mother quarreled again?"

Huang Hongliang said: "What are you children worried about? You don't understand the affairs of adults. Let's go, let's eat. ”

His son reluctantly turned off the TV and followed Huang Hongliang downstairs.

Huang Hongliang took his son to a restaurant at the entrance of the community, and the proprietress greeted him and said, "Sir, how many of you?"

Huang Hongliang said: "Two. ”

The proprietress arranged for them to sit down and said, "What do you two want to eat?"

Huang Hongliang raised his chin at his son and asked, "Son, what do you want to eat?"

His son said, "Are there any boiled pork slices?"

Huang Hongliang looked at the proprietress and said, "There should be, I can't do this dish in a restaurant, so how can I do business?"

The proprietress hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

His son said, "Then let's have a boiled pork slice, you can look at the rest, I don't know what to order." ”

Huang Hongliang flipped through the menu and said, "Then let's have another yellow stewed eel, a braised eggplant, a plate of peanuts, a winter melon pork rib soup, a rice, and two taels of wine, and serve the food faster." ”

The proprietress said, "Okay, you two drink some tea first, and the food will come up in a while." ”

Huang Hongliang took a sip of tea, glanced at his somewhat restrained son, and asked, "Son, how is the school food?"

His son said, "It's not delicious, the dishes they fry don't have a taste." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "Your school is really good, the fees are so expensive, why can't you cook a meal?"

His son said: "My classmates don't like to eat school food, and they all go home on weekends to improve their food, and I have been thinking about this boiled pork slices for several days." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "Look at what you said so badly, eh, are you thin?"

His son said, "I don't know." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "Then you can eat more later, the eel made here is also good." By the way, how are your grades this semester, can you keep up?"

His son said, "It's okay." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "How is it okay? You kid has to study hard, why spend so much money to send you to this good school, you can't just mess around!"

His son secretly raised his eyes to look at Huang Hongliang and said, "Hmm." ”

Huang Hongliang's son belongs to the more naughty category, and his grades in the six years of primary school have not been good, so when they were in junior high school, the two of them thought of sending their son to this private school with high fees, hoping that the closed management of the school can improve the grades of his son who has no intention of studying.

But in fact, judging from the situation in the first year of junior high school, this child's grades are still ranked last in the grade.

Huang Hongliang was helpless and even wondered if he and his wife did not have the gene to read, so his son was like this.

Huang Hongliang's way of managing his son is simple and rude, and when he is dissatisfied with his son, he either beats or scolds, and rarely communicates with his son in addition to this, and does not care about the child's learning. He doesn't have a few days a week at home for dinner, either drinking with clients or with his boss, and rarely comes home before 10 p.m., and it is impossible to expect him to help his son with his homework.

So his son is naughty and naughty at school, and often causes trouble, but in front of Huang Hongliang, he lowers his eyebrows and is pleasing to his eyes, and he does not dare to be presumptuous, and there seems to be a layer of estrangement between father and son.

His wife is different, she has reached the level of doting on her son, and she will give her whatever she wants, but due to her low level of education, she can't tutor her son academically, so she also has a laissez-faire attitude towards her son in learning.

This led to his son being more dependent on his mother, more indifferent to Huang Hongliang, and only looking for his mother when he came home on weekends. Like today, it is rare for Huang Hongliang to take his son out to eat alone, and his son doesn't know how to show up with Huang Hong, with a hint of strangeness and uneasiness in his expression.

After the meal came up, Huang Hongliang watched his son eat while drinking, and thought: If you don't hurry up and find a way to earn back the money you lost in futures, just relying on this salary, the tuition fee for your son to go to this private school will be a problem in the future.

But now what gives him a headache is that if he doesn't do futures, he can't get back the money he loses, but if he does futures, he may continue to lose, and he is now in a dilemma.

Also, my wife is now thinking about holding the money in her hands, in that case, there is no possibility for her to turn over.

He looked at his son who was growing up in front of him, and he felt very uncomfortable, if it weren't for the stiffness with his wife, he wouldn't be able to remember to take his son out to dinner today, maybe he was drinking in a restaurant or dance hall now.

Huang Hongliang thought to himself: Tomorrow is Saturday, it seems that his wife will not come back in the next few days. Alas, it's better if this doesn't come back, out of sight and out of mind!

But if my wife doesn't come back, it will be a problem to eat, it's better to pass it by myself, a bowl of instant noodles, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of wine is a meal, but what about my son?

He thought for a moment and asked his son, "Will Dad take you to the resort tomorrow?"

When his son heard that he could go out to play, he was full of joy and said, "Okay, where are you going?"

Huang Hongliang said: "You can choose anywhere." ”

His son asked, "Is my mom going?"

Huang Hongliang's face sank: "Can't I take you there?"

When his son heard this, he did not dare to say anything.

Huang Hongliang was leisurely drinking wine, and having his son eat with him opposite made him feel very relieved.

Over the years, sitting across from his table was either a client or a boss, and it was a rare situation like today, and he suddenly felt that he was enjoying the time, without the annoying nagging in his ears when he ate with his wife, and without the loneliness of being alone at home.

His son developed the habit of gobbling up in the school cafeteria, and before Huang Hongliang's wine was half drunk, his son finished eating, put his chopsticks aside, looked at Huang Hongliang for a while, and looked out of the window for a while, looking restless.

Huang Hongliang saw it and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"

His son said, "I am full." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "Eat slowly, what are you in a hurry? No one will rob you." Didn't you say that the school food was not delicious, come, eat some more. As he spoke, he took two pieces of eel and put them in his son's bowl.

His son scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "Oh, I'm not going to eat it." ”

Huang Hongliang, who often mingled at the wine table, knew a lot about human affairs, and he looked at his son and thought: What a little kid, how can you accompany someone to eat like this? Others have just eaten half of it, and you put aside your chopsticks and stop eating, and it must be uncomfortable for you to sit and watch others eat, and it is also uncomfortable for others to be watched by you to eat. No, I have to find an opportunity to teach him in the future, I don't understand the rules at all, how to mix in society in the future!

Sure enough, his son rubbed on the opposite seat for a while, and said, "Dad, or I'll go back first." ”

Huang Hongliang said: "What's the matter with you, you can't accompany me after eating?"

His son said, "Oh, I have to go back to my homework." ”

Huang Hongliang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, do your homework, don't watch TV." ”

When his son heard this, as if he had been granted amnesty, he got up and ran out, and in a moment he was gone.

Huang Hongliang secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head: This kid, when will people save snacks!

After his son left, Huang Hongliang lost interest.

Accustomed to the excitement, he often yells at the wine table with his fox friends and dog friends, and he can't realize the artistic conception of raising a glass to invite Mingyue and the three of them, but he just feels very cold.

So he sped up, drank a few sips of the wine in the cup, ate a few more mouthfuls of food, beckoned the proprietress to come and settle the bill, and then left the restaurant and walked home.

Today's wine is nothing to him at all, if he hadn't been drunk last night, and his son is at home tonight, he can drink three or four taels of wine alone at home with a bowl of instant noodles and a bag of peanuts.

It's very uncomfortable for him to lose interest as soon as he hooks up his alcohol addiction like this, but he can't help it, he has to take care of his son today.

As soon as Huang Hongliang entered the house full of alcohol, he saw his son sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Huang Hong's eyes widened: "Didn't you say that you came back to do your homework? Why are you watching TV again!"
