Chapter 502: Knowledge is the Wealth That Attracts Women
Perhaps infected by the warm atmosphere of the "Dango Family", Qiao An felt that the cold and stiff atmosphere at home gradually warmed and softened.
His parents have been fighting for days, and he no longer comes home late when he is out and about, and sometimes he returns home early even when "Clannad" doesn't air.
Although he was still silent, he sat at the same table with his parents again.
Although his father was always shy about "clannad" and described it as a "meaningless and misleading" work, his parents would occasionally watch it with him when it aired.
In the story told by her father, Julie's father studied the time machine. In the story of "Clannad", the "hidden world" that Kotomi's parents studied—the observable space-time, not the entire universe, and in the process of the birth of the world, the dimensions that fell off were imperceptibly closed.
For Joan, who loves games, this description is very easy to understand - isn't this the choice of Galgame? The same characters, different choices, different stories.
This is the theory of parallel space-time.
Joan suddenly understood why her father told that story. In his eyes, this story suddenly took on a deeper flavor.
Kotomi and Okazaki have known each other since they were very young, although it was only the moment the two met at the beginning, and the audience could easily surmise that the two had known each other before.
But the quote "the day before yesterday was a rabbit, yesterday it was a fawn." It's you today". If you know about it. It makes the story of the two people feel a kind of heaviness: when she was a child, Okazaki broke into the world of the lonely and introverted Kotomi and became her friend, the two separated for some reason, and the message was cut off, and gradually Okazaki forgot about Kotomi, but Kotomi remembered Okazaki. Kotomi is still lonely and introverted, and Okazaki already "doesn't know" Kotomi. became Kotomi's friend again, and pulled Kotomi out of that lonely world, bringing her to know more and more friends.
Julie, who goes by the pseudonym Anne, did not tell Mark who she was, and Kotomi did not tell Okazaki the story of the two of them.
But even though time and space change, the feelings that once touched my heart are eternal.
The day before yesterday it was a rabbit, yesterday it was a fawn, and today it's you.
The first time I said it, it was a kind of curiosity and joy.
The second time it is emphasized, it is a kind of bond that cannot be untied.
"What do you mean. I don't study hard and don't read much. Can't even understand the deeper connotation of the animation?"
He thinks it's his father using animation to teach him again - although this time he does think his father is right, and if he hadn't listened to his father's story, he might have thought of Okazaki as another "Yuichi" - although it seems similar, the story here is more profound than the story of "Kanon".
His father looked at him calmly, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.
"It's not. The father replied, "No wonder your language is so poor, at this level, you must fail reading comprehension." ”
His father was very faceless and disdainful of his grades, which were justified and well-founded, so that Qiao An could not refute them.
"The original sentence in the story has been told to you, 'Knowledge is not only an obstacle, but also a wealth that attracts women', you don't even know the origin of the sentence 'the day before yesterday was a rabbit, yesterday was a fawn, today is you', you don't know all kinds of meanings, how to show off with girls? How to attract girls? What other romance movies do you watch? I used these stories to deceive your mother back then......"
Syllable!
His mother patted his father's head very unceremoniously, it was the first time he had seen his mother slap his father so facelessly, but his father was not angry and did not fight back.
The image of father and mother changed in Joan's heart—of course, on the good side, which made him suddenly a lot more kind.
"Back then, it was very difficult for me to go to college with your mother, because of various reasons, we didn't go to college, although our grades were definitely fine...... my father told the story of that year.
Although Qiao An is ignorant, she also knows that with the increase in the number of universities and the expansion of college students, the quality of college students is getting lower and lower.
Naturally, the difficulty of the assessment back then was much higher than now, and my father was so confident, if it wasn't bragging, he would definitely be a top student - this is very different from Qiao An's current impression of his father.
But he actually believed his father's words in his heart, probably because his father told him stories when he was a child.
"After a lot of nonsense, all in all, you have to understand that learning is not learning for the sake of learning, and that will be the foundation of your future livelihood. Just like me, I'm a science student, in order to soak your mother, I watched N many romance works that I don't like very much - I feel that romance works are too pretentious, and I feel uncomfortable to watch, but for lifelong happiness, I endured it. If I hadn't learned these things that I wasn't interested in at all, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with your mother, and I wouldn't have you...... Also, when I was only in high school, I studied psychology on my own, and it was very useful to figure out your mother's psychology at the beginning, and I also used various languages, movements, and environments to induce your mother, so as to achieve the effect I wanted......"
Before the father could finish his words, the mother dragged the father away, and the two began to quarrel endlessly.
But this time, Qiao An's embarrassed face gradually became warm.
"By the way, just like you, I think you can't play a GoodEnd ending without reading the strategy of "school-days", right? It has a very strong educational value. ”
Before being dragged into the bedroom by his mother. Father did not forget to give Joan the final blow.
Joan's face seemed to evolve. Unpredictable.
was right by his father, after he played 10 BadEnds in a row and couldn't complete a GoodEnd, the ten BE bloody scenes of "school-days" dealt a huge blow to his spirit, leaving a heavy psychological shadow, making him throw "school-days" aside and never touch it again.
In terms of playing the game. was despised by his father, who he had always looked down on!
Even the understanding of animation is not as good as that of my father!
For him, this is simply a great disgrace.
The altar of fighting spirit, which had been extinguished long ago, seemed to be burning again.
"In order to be able to leave that home one day, I have been working part-time to save money. ”
Okazaki recalls a qiē, seeing that the yard of Kotomi's house is overgrown with weeds, he buys tools to tidy up the yard for Kotomi's house, Nagisa, apricot, and starling after school bump into Okazaki, Apricot unexpectedly sighs that Okazaki is quite rich, Okazaki replied.
Flat tone. Emotionless, as if saying something inconsequential.
Even the story doesn't have any BGM accompaniment. There is no exaggeration, and perhaps people can't pay attention to Okazaki's words.
However, Joan noticed.
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing heavily into Qiao An's heart.
In order to be able to leave that home one day......
It was his home, but he struggled to get out of that "home".
For others, home is warm, but for him, "home" is cold and painful.
Joan understands that feeling very well, but he is not as good as Okazaki, who seems to be lazy but is working silently, and he has never tried to ......
He also had thoughts of leaving, but all he thought about was "leaving" when he was immature. As for survival or anything, he didn't think about it at all.
He ran away from home, but whenever the money he "took" from home was spent, he would return.
Leaving is a very simple word, but here it suddenly made Joan feel a heavy pressure.
This is no longer just going out, but leaving completely, going out, never coming back, using your own strength to find yourself a shelter from the wind and rain, to support yourself......
Okazaki's calm words made Qiao An's heart set off a monstrous wave.
For the first time, he thought so deeply, after leaving, what means could he use to support himself?
Thinking about it, but he was depressed, he had nothing to do all day, not even a game as good as his father, no skills, no part-time job, no social experience, etc., if he didn't have parents, he probably wouldn't even have enough to eat, and he might starve to death.
Looking back now, even he felt that his former self was really naïve.
He thought about his parents again, although they had never told him, but now that he thinks about it, the pressure on his parents must have been very great: he remembered that when he was a child, for several years, he never knew that he had grandparents and grandparents, and it was only a few years ago that he gradually regained contact, but he could feel that the relationship was still stiff - just like at home.
Parents should have "left" the house and never returned.
And he himself deduced from his age that when he was born, that is, his parents had just graduated from high school (maybe he had not graduated from high school yet).
Even now, this will be a huge pressure, let alone back then?
However, under such circumstances, the two parents not only "left" the family, but also gave birth to him, and the house in his memory has slowly changed from a simple small house to a two-bedroom and one-hall house like this.
As for why his parents didn't go to college, he might be able to guess - the pressure of life, even if his parents can apply for tuition waiver and so on, but the money for food and the money to support him, his parents don't have it at all.
Joan watched the animation blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart.
For the first time, he seriously thought about the painful problem of "life", and he found that he was not qualified to despise his father at all.
Because, he is not as good as his father at all. (To be continued......)
