Chapter 40: The Critical Role of the Son
The son's words are not unreasonable, and it also shows that this kid is usually meticulous and observant. The reason why he didn't share things at work with Sheng Chen was also because he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the family, and some difficulties and setbacks at work would only make Sheng Chen more troubled after saying it.
But from another point of view, it is true that as his son said, Sheng Chen could not participate in it for most of his life, but for Sheng Chen, he was all she had. Over time, Sheng Chen will inevitably be psychologically unbalanced, neither knowing the outside world, nor being able to intervene in his other life, so he will naturally have a sense of crisis and uncertainty.
But Sheng Chen shouldn't suspect that he is having an affair, she has never participated in half of his adult life, but except for work is work, there is no story in Sheng Chen's imagination at all. No matter how he explained, Sheng Chen didn't believe it, and he had to participate in all aspects. The original intention of her participation was not to solve his problems, but to understand his every move!
It's not impossible to get involved, he just takes more time to share his work with Sheng Chen. Sheng Chen disagreed, not to mention wanting to control his schedule, but also wanting to check his mobile phone information at any time!
In the mobile phone information, there is really no ambiguous information, but some involve trade secrets, and some are internal secrets of the company, which are not allowed to be viewed by outsiders according to the regulations, including those closest to them. For companies, regulations are regulations, and there is no human relationship to talk about.
It's just that the reason doesn't make sense, all his explanations were treated as perfunctory and false shots by Sheng Chen, after a long time, there were many quarrels, both sides were tired and no longer trusted each other, and the original harmony and warmth were gone.
Xiang Dongren is a big ghost, he saw that Fang Shanmu was moved, and thought that he had persuaded his father: "Dad, you really need to think about your relationship with your mother, your relationship is because it is not equal." ”
"Could it be that your mother doesn't have the slightest problem, it's all my problem?" Fang Shanmu twisted his son's ear, "Don't be biased towards your mother, although you have been with her for a long time, you must also try to be a person with a fair position." ”
"All objective judgment is actually subjective, and I try not to be affected by subjective emotions, but it's difficult. Dad, you may think that our generation is very happy, but you don't know that we are much more miserable than when you were younger. Not only is the homework load heavier, but we also grew up in a very unhealthy environment, we grew up in an environment that lacked male aura!"
"Dad, can you recall, what is the ratio of male and female teachers among the countless teachers you have experienced from elementary school to college?" Xiang Dong blinked and smiled proudly, "Don't think that I can't analyze problems when I'm young, my rational judgment has inherited your excellent genes." ”
Fang Shanmu Weiyi recalled: "When I was in primary school, I went to primary school in the countryside, and most of the teachers were men. By the time I was in junior high school, there were more female teachers, and the proportion was 50%. In high school, the ratio of female teachers rose to 60%, and when I got to college, I didn't pay attention to the ratio of male to female teachers, I guess, half to half......
"Forget it, regardless of your time, let's talk about our current situation. Starting with almost 100% female teachers in kindergartens, to 80% in elementary schools, and now in junior high schools and now high schools, the proportion of female teachers is still as high as 70%. Can you recall it again, Dad, how many times have you participated in my parent-teacher conferences and various school activities?"
Fang Shanmu didn't need to recall, he smiled: "Dad is too busy with work......
"It is precisely because the fathers are so busy with work, our generation of children, surrounded by female teachers at school, and under the discipline of their mothers when they return home, we are growing up with a key factor - men. Children who are surrounded by a female environment are becoming more and more weak and motherly, which is not a good phenomenon. Xiang Dongshou touched his chin with a thoughtful expression, "Dad, girls need their father's encouragement and care, and boys also need their father's guidance and guidance to cultivate their manhood." Women are different from men, from the way of thinking to emotional management, no matter how calm a woman is, she can't do a man's logical thinking. ”
Fang Shanmu nodded heavily and patted Xiang Dong's shoulder hard. The son has indeed grown up, has a social depth in his thinking, and has learned to persuade himself to stay at home, and he understands that his son is trying to tell him that the lack of male participation in the education process will lead to uneven growth of the students. In the same way, in the family, without the involvement of the father, a child will grow up without the cultivation of masculinity.
"I'm not complaining about you, Dad, compared to the fathers of other classmates, you are not a good one, at least you take care of your family, you still love labor, and you are very good at raising cats and dogs...... And, and I'm sure you don't mess around outside, and some of my classmates' dads are out there, and he's seen them all......"
Fang Shanmu's face sank, and he interrupted Xiang Dong's words: "Don't discuss the problems of other people's families!"
"If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the murder?" Xiang Dong grinned, "I think my mother has wronged you, and I have talked to her a few times, but she doesn't listen." She is actually stubborn, just too stubborn. She also has a big problem, she is suspicious, she likes to think about the bad side of everything, and she is easy to get into the horns. But from another point of view, she also has a serious and persistent side. You're a man, Dad, and men should be generous. You see my mother often yells at me, I don't care about her in general, let her yell, anyway, she will be angry after yelling, and I'll be fine, everyone will continue to be safe. In this way, you admit your mistake to your mother, and assure her that you don't have a mistress outside, and I will say a few words for you next to you to ensure that she will not mention the divorce again. ”
"It's hard to recover. Fang Shanmu shook his head, recently he has adapted to the life of being single, one is well-fed and the whole family is not hungry, and free, no one is restrained, it is not that he does not want to return to the family, but he has a headache when he thinks of the quarrel with Sheng Chen.
The son was unmoved by his father after talking for a long time, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "There is really no chance to redeem it?"
Fang Shanmu didn't answer positively: "Let me reveal first, my mother asked my father to come over for dinner today, it won't be just for divorce, right?
"Alas...... How old are you all, and one of you doesn't want to say and the other doesn't dare to ask, I feel like you are all children who haven't grown up!" Xiang Dong pressed the elevator, put his hands behind his back, and looked old-fashioned, "You can make trouble as much as you like, I'm too lazy to care about you, the study task is so heavy, and I have to worry about your emotional problems, I'm too difficult." One day I'll fly away and leave me, and I'll see what you're going to do?"
Fang Shanmu almost burst out laughing.
During the meal, Fang Shanmu was still sitting in place, and the family of three ate quietly, during the banquet, there were only a few silent eye exchanges, and there was not much conversation.
After the meal, Xiang Dong went upstairs to write his homework, Fang Shanmu sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while as usual, Sheng Chen packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sat over.
"Two things, one is to set a time to go through the divorce procedures, and the other is that my son's grades are now stable, and he is also very independent, so I want to send him to study abroad, in the direction of the United Kingdom or Australia......"
"No!" Fang Shanmu interrupted Sheng Chen's words, and said angrily, "Sheng Chen, you did it on purpose, right? We have already said that we will let our son finish college in China before going abroad, but now he is still young, and he has not yet established the correct three views, and it is harmful for you to let him go abroad at such a young age! In the future, he wants to stay abroad, but he can't integrate into the mainstream society. When you return to China, you can't adapt to the domestic environment, and then you will become a sandwich person! It's not that you haven't seen Xu Wenqu, her character and way of doing things are neither foreign nor Chinese, and she can't go back to China if she can't go back, don't you know?"
"Yes. Sheng Chen glanced at Fang Shanmu calmly and indifferently, "Don't get excited, listen to what I say." It was before, and now is now. In the past, you were still the head of the family, but now I have the final say in my son's affairs. ”
"You just did it on purpose! You are retaliating, you are acting rashly!" Fang Shanmu felt deeply malicious and humiliated, "Sheng Chen, I don't agree with you doing this. If you insist on sending your son abroad, I will reconsider our divorce agreement and propose the division of property and the terms of payment for the maintenance of your son......"
"I'm sorry, but I don't accept your offer. Sheng Chen responded to Fang Shanmu's provocative look, "You have already signed the agreement, and you will not accept it." ”
"The agreement has been signed, but the divorce procedures have not yet been completed and have not yet taken effect. As long as I don't divorce for a day, I have a say in the matter of deciding the fate of my son. Fang Shanmu did not give an inch, he resolutely opposed letting his son go abroad too early. He has no experience of studying abroad, but in the former company, there are many returnees, most of them are not much better than domestic college students, especially in dealing with people.
Moreover, Fang Shanmu found after comparison that the earlier the students who go abroad, the more difficult it will be to adapt to the domestic environment after returning to China.
"I knew I wouldn't discuss it with you, and when the divorce procedures are completed, I will directly arrange for my son to go abroad. Sheng Chen looked annoyed and indignant, "I'll tell you Fang Shanmu, you can't stop your son from going abroad, I advise you to see the situation clearly, it's best to agree, otherwise you won't be at ease." ”
