Chapter 4: The Man Holds Up the Sky
Shen Meng is three years younger than Shen Que, Shen Que graduated from high school, and she just graduated from junior high school.
However, Shen Meng's reading is not as good as Shen's.
Shen Que elementary school and junior high school, it was good to be regarded as a scholar, but Shen Meng was dwarfed.
Once, Shen Meng's mathematics final exam also got back an 18 points.
Therefore, Shen Meng knew that she was not the one who was admitted to college, and Shen Tianming had always doted on her, so she changed the topic at the right time and mentioned her schooling.
Not surprisingly, Shen Tianming responded dotingly: "Well, Meng'er wants to go to a tourism school, then go to a tourism school, Dad supports you!"
"Oh yes~~ The old man is the best!!boom~~" Shen Meng cheered and kissed Shen Tianming on the face excitedly.
Seeing the intimate and harmonious appearance of the two, Shen Que's heart was jealous.
Since childhood, this kind of fatherly love, Shen Que has never enjoyed it from Shen Tianming.
Although, every time he gives pocket money, compared to Shen Meng, Shen Tianming always gives Shen Que double, and every time Shen Que asks for anything, Shen Tianming always agrees.
However, Shen Que also longs for the kind of warmth between father and son, and also longs for intimate communication with Shen Tianming.
But the character is destined that Shen Que and Shen Tianming will never have that kind of opportunity.
When Shen Tianming was suffering from gallbladder cancer, Shen Que was not able to fulfill his filial piety in front of bed.
When Shen Tianming died, Shen Que didn't see him for the last time.
When Shen Que wanted to change this estrangement between father and son, it was already incompatible.
Because of Shen Meng's pistachio, the atmosphere of the table began to slowly normalize.
After lunch, Shen Que and Shen Meng went back to their rooms separately.
There are two bedrooms and one living room, one large bedroom and one small bedroom.
The parents lived in that small bedroom, while the large bedroom was split in two with a wardrobe.
Although it seems that their parents dote on Shen Meng, in their hearts, they always seem to favor Shen Que.
Because the large bedroom is separated by a wardrobe, the inner room is very dim, while the outer one is next to the balcony, with doors and windows, which is very bright.
Shen Que leaned on the head of the bed, and under food and clothing, he continued to carry out his novel business comfortably.
Just when Shen Que was immersed in the fantasy in the novel, he suddenly heard Shen Meng's voice: Brother.
Shen Que raised his head to look at the place where the voice came from, but it turned out that it was Shen Meng lying on the top of the partition wardrobe, looking at him mysteriously.
Since the wardrobe is less than one floor high, after dividing the room, there is at least seventy or eighty centimeters of space in the upper part, which is why Shen Meng's strange movements are there.
was disturbed by Shen Meng's interest in reading, Shen Que frowned, and reprimanded impatiently: "What's the matter? If you want to speak, just bypass your mother's room, why are you so mysterious and sneaky?"
Shen Meng shook his head, shook his brother's eyes, and said quietly: "After Mom finished washing the dishes, she closed the door, why did I come over? By the way, brother, I noticed that my parents seemed to be discussing something behind closed doors! Perhaps, it was you going to a private university!"
The two bedrooms in the home are side by side, both connecting to the outside balcony.
Since Shen Que and Shen Meng's bedroom was blocked by the wardrobe, if you want to come to Shen Que's bedroom, you have to go through your parents' bedroom.
Lin Li closed the bedroom door, so it was no wonder that Shen Meng would lie on the top of the wardrobe and talk to Shen Que.
"Do you know that I went to a private university?" Shen Que put down the novel in his hand and asked with a little unpleasure, and couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart: "Mom is really, I tell Shen Meng everything, and I am really a mother and daughter!
Shen Meng didn't know what Shen Que was thinking, so he lay on the top of the wardrobe cutely, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother, do you really want to go to a private university?
"I can't even get into college, I don't go to a private university, do you want me to go to work? You are so filial and sensible, why do you still propose to go to a tourist school? You can also go out to work!" Shen Que asked angrily.
"What's wrong with working part-time? You can support yourself, let the birds fly in the sky, and you can also reduce the burden on the old man! Brother, you don't know the situation at home, do you? If you want to go to college, I want to go to a tourism secondary school, my parents will be very hard!" Shen Meng was much more sensible than Shen Que, and said with a gloomy face.
Shen Que has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't imagine the miserable scene of going out to work, where can he endure that hardship?
In addition, Shen Que has never been a layman alone, so the selfish and cowardly Shen Que seems to have deliberately ignored the meaning of Shen Meng's words, and said lightly: "When I go to college, I am the same as a bird flying in the sky! Moreover, my mother said that we don't need to worry about these things, you just shut up!"
After scolding Shen Meng, Shen Que continued to pick up "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" on the bed and began to watch it absentmindedly.
Actually, after listening to his sister's words, if Shen Que didn't have a trace of emotion in his heart, it was really fake.
Although Shen Que is selfish, cowardly, and pampered, the kind nature and the nature between father and son, mother and son, still make Shen Que flustered for a while, and he can't even read his favorite novel.
Shen Meng saw his brother's hateful appearance that had nothing to do with himself and hung high, snorted coldly, glanced at him in disgust, and disappeared to the top of the wardrobe.
Feeling that Shen Meng's disgusted eyes disappeared, Shen Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a moment of hesitation.
Lin leaves the bedroom.
Shen Tianming and Lin Li sat at the head of the bed, relatively speechless.
"Lin Li, I know you have something to tell me, don't scruple about it, just say it!" Shen Tianming looked at Lin Li's gloomy face, a touch of guilt and distress flashed in his eyes, and he said softly.
Lin Li looked at Shen Tianming's tired face and bloodshot eyes, and he was also distressed, and asked with concern: "This time I went out, according to the previous progress, I should have come back yesterday, why did I come back a day late?"
"In the Tibetan area, I encountered a mudslide, and the car almost fell into the river, so it was delayed a little time!" Shen Tianming responded lightly, but where could the danger be as bland as his tone?
Lin Li knew that her husband would always be the towering man who reported good news but not bad news, and he also knew how dangerous it was to encounter a mudslide, not to mention that the car almost fell into the river.
Therefore, even if Lin Xianzhong was in turmoil again, when he saw Shen Tianming coming back safely, he still pretended to be unfazed, and said softly: "Be careful next time you go out! You are the heaven of the family, if you have any accidents, our mother will ~~"
Shen Tianming interrupted his wife's words and said lightly: "The missing child is already an adult, Meng'er is precocious, sensible, filial, even if I have any accidents, you can still live!"
