76 The other side of the father
Li Guojun took Li Wen to a very high-end restaurant, and Li Wen couldn't believe that Li Guojun would take him to such an expensive restaurant to eat. Looking at this, it costs at least 40 to eat for two people, and not including the wine money.
Li Guojun had been taking Li Wen to find a suitable seat, and he didn't look at Li Wen, because he knew that Li Wen would always follow him. Li Wen could only watch Li Guojun's back all the time behind his back, and he was very puzzled that Li Guojun would bring him here to eat. Is there really something big to tell him?
If he said that he had made a fortune, it would be impossible for Li Wen to believe how well he knew Li Guojun in the past ten years. If Li Guojun can make money, life will not be so difficult. Of course, I don't understand why Li Guojun works every day, why he can't save money, and where does the money go?
Manager Li Wen wanted to know, but he also understood that if he asked Li Guojun or Dong Xuehua, they would not tell him. If you want to say it, you won't delay it for so long. At this time, Li Wen had already felt the tension in his heart, and his body was constantly trembling.
I don't know what I'm afraid of, it's not that I'm afraid of how his father Li Guojun will accuse or scold. It was Li Wen's unwillingness to listen to what Li Guojun said, or his unwillingness to accept fate. Li Guojun then found a remote place to do it, and Li Wen had to sit opposite Li Guojun.
Li Guojun stared at Li Wen with blazing eyes, so that Li Wen did not dare to look at his father. Li Guojun said: "Come and have a drink with my dad today!"
"Huh?" Li Wen was frightened, not understanding at all that Li Guojun would suddenly call him to drink, and his attitude was a little gentle. It wasn't at all like his stern appearance before, which made Li Wen feel worried, and suspected that it was not his father in front of him.
Li Guojun shook his head and continued to say to me: "In fact, drinking alcohol hurts the body, but sometimes drinking can gain a foothold in society. As long as you don't be an alcoholic like your dad, it actually makes sense to drink with good friends or with iron relationships. Drink some bars today, it's kind of teaching you how to drink. ”
Li Wen was actually very surprised, but he also wanted to refute it, but he didn't know if he didn't dare. What does he refute, naturally he said that drinking is not good for his health, and he often goes home at night to drink, knowing that it is not good.
Although Li Wen has never drunk alcohol, he often sees Li Guojun drinking so fragrantly, and he has long wanted to try it. It's just that he has never had the opportunity to drink secretly to anger Li Guojun, after all, he knows that liquor is very expensive.
Li Wen replied, "Okay, then I'll try to drink a little." ”
Li Guojun continued: "Not only is I drinking with you today, but there are actually a few things I want to explain to you. You have also grown up, and you should also have the right to know about family matters. Do you know why our family has always been so poor?"
Li Wen shook his head, he didn't know about it all along, and he also wanted to know what the reason was. It's just that no one has mentioned it to him for so many years, and I don't know where to start if I want to check. However, listening to Li Guojun's tone, he seemed to feel very helpless. Could it be that poverty is not caused by him? If he has a high salary, how can this family be poor?
Li Guojun squinted, lay on the bench and leaned back and said, "That was before you were born, I hadn't married your mother yet, and my family was still quite wealthy." Then your grandfather suddenly got cancer, and he spent all his belongings to save your grandfather. But in the end, your grandfather left, but your grandfather was gone for more than half a year, and your grandmother died because she was too sad every day. ”
Speaking of this, Li Guojun took out a box of cigarettes from his purse, took out a cigarette and took a hard puff. After spitting it out, he took another sip, as if he was very unwilling to face this matter back then.
Li Guojun continued: "Your mother and I have known each other for a long time, and she knew that I had lost both of my parents, so she actually took the initiative to propose to me. In the end I said yes, and we lived together. But at that time I was poor and nothing. In order to marry your mother, I borrowed money everywhere to give a bride price, and at that time I asked for a bride price of 100,000 yuan. In fact, when I saw your grandfather, I had already borrowed more than 200,000 yuan. ”
Li Wen began to be uneasy when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Guojun's life to be so difficult at that time, and he didn't expect his mother's family to be so demanding. 100,000 bride price is a lot for ordinary people. Of course, Li Guojun already owes a lot of debts and wants a bride price of 100,000 yuan.
Li Guojun noticed Li Wen's expression and could see that he was very angry, Li Guojun explained: "Actually, 100,000 bride price is not much for us, because the house we live in is actually your grandfather's. It can also be said that this house, we have lived in it for so many years with 100,000 yuan, and it is also quite cost-effective. It's just that your mother gave up her days of glory and wealth to live a hard life with me. So I swear to your mother that I won't let her find a job. ”
Li Wen finally figured out why his mother didn't have to find a job, and it turned out that Li Guojun swore to her that she didn't have to work, which made Li Wen impressed. For the first time, I felt Li Guojun's gentleness and romanticism. But this time when he told him about it, Li Wen felt that it must not be simple.
Li Guojun continued: "Actually, I am also very sorry for your mother, because I am very stressed at work every day, and I occasionally lose my temper with you. I can't control it, and I desperately make money every day to make money and pay off my debts. After so many years, hundreds of thousands of disasters have almost been repaid. It made me feel very tired, but I knew that there would be good days ahead. ”
Li Guojun smoked a cigarette and laughed, and Li Wen also saw him laughing for the first time. The pressure of work makes him not smile and be happy, and the pressure to pay off his debts is very high. Hundreds of thousands may not seem like much, but in fact, it is really difficult to do.
Li Guojun: "But the good days are over, your grandmother died the night before yesterday, so your mother is not at home, she is going to the funeral." But your grandfather discussed something with your mother, so we decided to do what your mother did. Either way, I believe in you very much. ”
At this time, the wine and food were served, and Li Guojun took out two small wine glasses, both of which were full of wine. Li Wen was very surprised when he saw Li Guojun pour so much wine. Although the cup was not very big, Li Wen had never drunk alcohol and was very worried that he would not be able to drink it.
The cigarette in Li Guojun's hand was almost exhausted, so he quickly put it in the ashtray on the seat. Li Guojun said: "This liquor tastes good, you can try it, but you have to drink it after pouring you a full glass of wine." After drinking, continue to account for your business. ”
Li Wen felt very confused, and didn't know whether to like such a father or hate him. At this time, Li Wen could no longer have any hatred, and was completely moved. I have never found that Li Guojun would be so gentle, and he also told him about his childhood!
