Chapter 239: Reflection
When Lin Chen was at home, he didn't really want to talk about the show, and after looking around, he asked strangely: "Mom, where is my dad?"
Today is the first day of the National Day, and Lin Yun, who has endured a month of heavy study pressure, ushered in a two-day holiday. It was rare to have time, Lin Chen considered taking his family out for a walk, and specially called his parents and asked them to rush over.
After lunch, Lin Chen entered the room to explain the situation to the audience in the live broadcast room, and when he came out, he found that Lin's father was gone.
Hearing this, Mother Lin replied casually: "Someone called, and he went back to pull the goods." ”
Father Lin has a small truck, and he usually makes a hard-earned money by helping people deliver goods near the wholesale market. Physical labor is different from mental work, the competitiveness is too great, the accumulation of old customers is not easy, someone looking for him, unless you don't want to continue to cooperate, you must rush over.
"Didn't you say that you should take a day off, but you can't send it tomorrow?" I don't know why, a nameless fire suddenly grew in Lin Chen's heart, and there was a kind of anger that things were out of control.
Perhaps sensing her son's mood, Mother Lin put down the fruit plate in her hand and explained seriously: "The person who contacted your father is an old customer and often takes care of his business, and your father is not easy to refuse." ”
The delivery area of Lin's father is nearby, and others know that their family's situation is more difficult, and they will take care of Lin's father when they need to hire people, saying that they are customers, and they are more like fat friends who help each other.
The customer is righteous, Father Lin is not a selfish person, as long as someone asks him for help, no matter what he is doing, he will rush over without saying a word. The family is loyal, and that's why someone is willing to lend a hand.
Having said that, Lin Chen was still a little uncomfortable: "Didn't you tell him not to continue to pull goods? It's only a hundred yuan a day, tired and hard, why don't you rest at home, I have the ability to support you." ”
His parents have worked hard all their lives, and the two siblings were still young and had no way, but now he has graduated and earns a lot of money every month, and he doesn't want his parents to make money with blood and sweat, but he just hopes that his parents will be like ordinary urban old people, raising flowers and planting grass every day, and going out and dancing square dances when they have nothing to do.
It's obviously for the good of their parents, why are they not obedient at all?
Mother Lin was silent, looking at Lin Chen with a complicated face, with relief, pride, and a hint of ...... Grievance.
After a long time, she reluctantly laughed: "After a lifetime of hard work, how can we say that we are idle when we are idle, we are not elderly people who can't move, and we don't need you to support us before we can still move." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and said as easily as possible: "Moreover, what your father does may not make a lot of money, but it is his career." ”
It was the first time Lin Chen saw such a complicated expression on Lin's mother's face, even when she couldn't even get out the tuition fees of her two siblings because her grandparents were hospitalized, she didn't show this expression, she just gritted her teeth, went out early and returned late, and her parents made up the tuition fees almost all day without rest.
Now, the economic situation is getting better and better, the family no longer has to worry about thousands of yuan, and can live easily, but Lin Mu has an embarrassment on her face that has never appeared, for a while, Lin Chen's body and mind are shocked, and the anger in his heart is gone, and only disgust for himself remains.
Yes, he succeeded, earning more than his parents in a month, leading the whole family to a well-off and a wealthy family. In this process, he asked his parents to abandon the career they had relied on to survive and let them live for a long time, which is filial piety, and it is not another kind of embarrassment.
Whether from a personal or an outsider's point of view, there is nothing wrong with what he does and what he says. After making money, it is not to spend all day and drink, not to spend lavishly, but to give money to parents and let them live for a long time. No matter who hears it, he has to stretch out his thumb and praise him: filial son.
He is indeed filial, does not let his parents worry, gives his parents a lot of money on time every month, and prevents them from doing heavy physical labor in consideration of their deterioration in health. No matter how you look at it, it is for the sake of the parents, considering the physical condition of the parents, considering the health of the parents, the only point, but not considering the hearts of the parents.
How old is Father Lin and Mother Lin this year?
Father Lin is forty-six years old this year, Mother Lin is forty-five years old, she is at the peak of her life, she is not an old man, let them stay at home and do nothing, it seems to be filial piety, but it also deprives them of their freedom, their career, and their self-esteem.
What is the greatest filial piety?
It's not about interfering with parental freedom 'in the name of your good', and it's not about giving your parents a monthly alimony, but about becoming your parents' backing so that they are qualified to do what they want.
If you want to play chess, you can go out and play chess, if you want to square dance, you can square dance, and if you want to continue to pursue your career, you can pursue your career. Respect, understanding and support are the greatest filial piety of children to their parents.
Not only is it the child to the parent, but the parents are also to the child.
"I know, Mom, let's go out for a walk first, and then go out together when Dad has time. Lin Chen walked up to Mother Lin and said softly.
When did you become like forcing your parents to change their lifestyle?
Is it when you step into the live streaming world, or when you earn a sum of money to your parents every month, or when you are praised by the audience?
No, it's success.
It was success, it was money, it was the growing fame that began to change him, it was to corrode his mind.
In the past, Lin Chen thought that he had not changed anything, he was still that gentle young man, no matter how successful he was, he could maintain a normal heart and treat everyone sincerely.
Actually? He didn't.
Most of the time, he has ignored the gifts of less than ten yuan in the live broadcast room, and many times he has turned a blind eye to newcomers who have recommended themselves and taken the initiative to greet them, and occasionally he will not greet water friends when he meets them alone.
This is very different from the warm, kind, and gentle he was at the beginning.
Especially when it comes to treating his parents, there is no problem for his family to follow his mind, but once he goes against his mind, a nameless fire will immediately arise.
It was all a reminder to him that he was starting to swell.
Yes, fame brought him money, status, and praise, but it also brought him an inexplicable expansion that no one else wanted. If he hadn't noticed it today, he would have caused even more trouble.
'Lin Chen, you have only taken the first step, and there is still a long way to go, so you must keep a normal heart. ’
In his heart, Lin Chen silently recited a sentence, hoping that he could be consistent and would not be changed by the outside world, as for whether he could do it, he had no confidence.
He is just an ordinary person, he will be discouraged if he fails, he will be sad when he is sad, he will be proud if he succeeds, and he still lacks the background of a successful person for the time being.
How can parents take care of their children's offense, feeling Lin Chen's mood change, Lin Mother smiled lightly, revealing a bright smile: "It's good that you can understand our feelings, Chenchen has the ability, we can't be left behind as parents, and we have to save a house for each of you." ”
Parents are always thinking about their children, thinking about how to raise their children when they are young, wanting to give their children a better future when they grow up, and thinking about their children's marriage when they are adults, which is kind and distressing.
