Chapter IV
Zhao Fatyi looked at the two children who were already taller than her and smiled. Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, my son is already a freshman, and my daughter is redoubling her efforts to prepare for the college entrance examination. "Brother, you have to tutor me later, I left a week's questions waiting for you to come home and ask you? Brother, by the way, have you found a girlfriend? You are already a freshman, and your parents will not object, right?" The family dinners on weekends are all in the family restaurant opened by Zhao Guoqiang. The four elderly people in their seventies were in good health, and they looked at their children and grandchildren sitting in front of them with happy expressions. This is happiness, the happiness that the expectations of children and grandchildren have finally come true. Zhao Fatyi and Li Hao are still living their little lives so happily, taking care of four old people and two children, without contradictions and quarrels.
"As long as your mother doesn't object, I'll listen to her anyway. Whatever she says is what she says!" Li Hao put on an innocent and helpless expression. He and Fat Yi are both almost fifty years old, but why is there still only Fat Yi in his eyes? Guarding his wife and family all his life is a responsibility and a kind of responsibility, and it is a life mission that he must complete. To love someone is to stick to your own choice, to be by her side wholeheartedly and to accompany and support, this is the love that Li Hao thinks.
"Grandpa, do you think my mother's cooking recently tastes too ordinary, forcing me to eat all kinds of nutritious things every day. Grandpa, tell me about my mom and let her change my taste too, okay? My dad listens to my mom anyway, and he doesn't have his own opinions at all. "My daughter, who has been working hard since her freshman year of high school, sometimes has times of irritability and deliberately finding faults. "Grandpa, you can help me. Your cutest granddaughter's request, can you bear to refuse?" Li Kangxing is the youngest in the family, and he can be coquettish with anyone, but he never lies.
Zhao Guoqiang smiled at Zhao Fatyi, who was busy preparing for the family dinner, "Your mother and you are my baby, how can I bear to say that your mother?
"Grandpa is eccentric. Grandma, can you help me?" Li Kangxing turned to her grandmother, who didn't like to talk, but liked her more.
"Li Kangxing, are you finished? I was not as picky as you in the college entrance examination, and I was not as dissatisfied as you. If you mess around like this again, I won't give you make-up classes this weekend, what do you think?" Although Li Kangping doted on his sister very much, he didn't allow her to mess around. "Li Kangxing, you are both high school students, is it okay to be a little more mature?" Li Kangping had a serious expression on his face.
"You are the most mature, you have been more mature and sensible than all children since you were a child. I'm not as good as you. Brother, I haven't seen you for a week, please be a good brother, don't be so serious, don't just want to be your parents' favorite and most sensible son, right?" Li Kangxing's words made everyone present laugh. The conversation between the brother and sister has always been the happiest and happiest moment for this family. One is a little adult who has been old-fashioned since he was a child, and the other is a little sister who will never grow up in front of her family who has pestered everyone since she was a child, but they are all treasures in the hearts of their families.
"Li Kangxing, don't be endless, it's almost over! Grandparents and grandmothers, don't care so much about the stars, she is just too busy to attract everyone's attention recently, so she will deliberately find fault, in fact, our family Kangxing is the cutest and most well-behaved little sister. "Li Kangping completely learns Zhao Fatyi's ability, is very good at educating his sister, and is a good brother who really loves his sister. "It's been so hard since the beginning of high school, my brother knows, everyone knows that you are hard, and each of us feels very sorry for you, so my mother will carefully prepare nutritious food for you to eat? However, didn't you promise your brother that you must be admitted to your brother's school? So it's right to start working hard since the first year of high school, and my brother is also so hard to be admitted to the university he likes?" Now there is no need for his parents to come forward, Li Kangping's maturity is enough to make his deliberately naughty sister obedient.
In the evening, Li Kangping checked his own information and tutored his sister's homework. Zhao Fatyi walked into her daughter's room with two glasses of milk, "Wow, my babies are so hard! Come, drink some milk and rest for a while! My son is so powerful, he can use two things, I don't have your ability!" Zhao Fatyi patted his son's shoulder with a relieved smile. They have always been her and Li Hao's treasures.
"Mom, come on, I'm a freshman. Don't treat me as a child or a student working hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, okay?" Although Li Kangping said this, he had already taken a sip of the milk cup. When he lives on campus, he only drinks a glass of milk occasionally.
Coming out of the children's room, Zhao Fatyi received a call from her friend Liang Yu, saying that she wanted to have dinner the next day and had something to discuss, and Zhao Fatyi immediately agreed. She has been busy with her children and family, and has little time to have dinner with her girlfriends, and it seems that she has not seen her friends for a long, long time, whether they are friends in high school or junior high school? Li Hao on the sofa asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Those friends of yours haven't seen you for a long time, do they miss you?" Zhao Fatyi looked at her husband's appearance and wondered his reaction, a girl's best friend, he wouldn't be jealous, right?
"It's Liang Yu, my friend and best friend, don't you know each other?what's wrong, you don't want me to go out?" Zhao Fatyi asked knowingly. Li Hao has always encouraged her to have her own circle of friends and friends, and she should often go out to meet and eat together, and not spend all her time at home.
For friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, Zhao Fatyi is smiling as always. Liang Yu looked at her friend, why is she still so young and beautiful at the same age, as if time can't carve marks on her face. "Fat Yi, I haven't seen each other for a long time, you are really an incomparably good mother and wife?" Liang Yu was a little jealous of Zhao Fatyi's good luck, her husband's love and the sensibility of her children made her worry too much. As the same friend and girlfriend of the same age, why does she look so much older than her? Her husband is having an affair, and her child's study breaks her heart, and the years still carve deep marks on her face.
"You don't have to say two things, I'm still a better daughter and a filial daughter-in-law?" Zhao Fatyi never cared about other people's jealousy and derogation. Because she firmly believes that no one is meant to be jealous, just instinctive. "Let's go, because of your compliment, so I'm in for a treat today, thank you for the compliment, okay?" Fat Yi stepped forward and grabbed her friend's arm. Liang Yu will always be her friend and best friend.
Zhao Pangyi's arrogance made Liang Yu helpless, she never cared about anything, which was the reason why they could be good friends for life. In the small private room of the restaurant, Zhao Fatyi looked at his friend with a smile on his face, "The dishes are also ready, if you have anything to discuss with me, just say it! Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, our friendship won't be estranged because we don't meet, right?" Zhao Fatyi is actually not very arrogant, but she doesn't need to worry about her friends. Everyone has their own weaknesses, and everyone is not perfect, so since you can't be perfect, why ask others?
"I'm going to get divorced? Actually, I'm not sure if he's out there, I just think he's a little weird lately. Liang Yu is a little difficult to explain, after all, this is not a good thing. Zhao Panyi didn't ask, and continued to eat while waiting for Liang Yu to continue.
Liang Yu looked at Zhao Panyi's bright smile, "I'll take me to buy your skin care products later, I want to be the same as you, I can't tell that your children are in college, let alone that you are almost fifty years old." I'm curious, are you really that happy?Are you and Li Hao so good?" Liang Yu asked with a smile, but she could feel her jealousy and dissatisfaction from her tone.
"Actually, Li Hao and I are not always good. Husbands and wives are inherently contradictory, and it is precisely because of contradictions that they can communicate, and after communication, they can understand each other better and adapt to each other's differences. To be honest, I don't think I'm the happiest, but I'm willing to try to understand and tolerate the imperfections that everyone has, including myself. Every time I ask him to do something for me, I reflect on whether I have gone too far. That's how we get along as a couple. Zhao Fatyi smiled and said such a simple truth, although everyone understands that it is difficult to do. "You're my good friend, and of course I'd like to share my opinion with you. But you remember that everything is a matter of opinion, and any choice and decision must be made by yourself, otherwise what will you regret in the future? To be honest, whether it is the protection of the skin or the view of marriage, it is my own opinion, which is very subjective, and may not be suitable for other people, you can learn from it, but you can't copy it all. Liang Yu, happiness depends on your own efforts, and I believe you can do it. Zhao Fatyi smiled and said a big truth.
"Okay, then you have to promise me that you will stay with me until the evening today, and you are not allowed to think about your two treasures and that stinky Li Hao all the time, is it okay?" Liang Yu said to his friend with a helpless smile. She is happy, so she can't empathize with the feelings of unhappy people. Although Zhao Fatyi is not the kind of person who gloats, because she has always been accompanied by good luck, it is difficult for her to appreciate the difficulty and difficulty of marriage. "Honestly, has it been particularly hard to live with your parents-in-law all these years? You can't talk big, you have to tell the truth. Liang Yu suddenly remembered this and asked Zhao Fatyi with a smile.
In another restaurant at the same time, Li Hao and a few good buddies sat together and ate a large piece. "Why do you have time to ask us out to play basketball and invite us to dinner today? Didn't you give you Zhao Fatyi all the weekends? It's so rare to have time to eat with buddies?"
"Li Hao, can't it be that you are finally aesthetically tired of your Zhao Fatyi, right?" asked another buddy with a smile. Li Hao is the best husband and a good man who is willing to spend all his time with his family. He only gets together with his buddies once or twice a year, and he has always been the target of attack.
"Our family Fat Yi has an appointment with her best friend today, and the children also go out to play together, so I have time to get together with you? "And I haven't seen you in a long time, so I really have some ideas to discuss with you. In the future, we will gather more together, except for this meal, we will all AA in the future, how about it?"
"It's really a money-saving master taught by Zhao Fatyi, so we can rub you a meal? Won't you be too stingy? No, you are responsible for entertaining guests this year, and you will start AA next year, how about it? Everyone agrees?" Good buddies never be polite to Li Hao. Zhao Fatyi will never let Li Hao run out of money in his wallet, Li Hao's wallet has always been the biggest in their group of buddies, so of course they will not let Li Hao go easily.
"Of course we approve of such a good thing. It's so decided, this year is Li Hao's treat, anyway, your Zhao Fatyi will never deduct your pocket money, and you are also the richest man among us, so of course you should have a treat!" another friend also said.
"Okay, I'll please, I'll please! Our family Fat Yi has always been considerate and generous, and will not oppose any of my decisions. Li Hao no longer shows off Zhao Fatyi's status as a good wife all the time, and at the same time, he is also in the good fortune that he can marry Zhao Fatyi.
"Li Hao, are you endless? You are showing off your family Zhao Fatyi at any time, you don't praise her every time you meet, you are not used to it?" Everyone blamed Li Hao for deliberately being considerate, virtuous and kind to Zhao Fatyi. "To punish you for this habit. Waiter, come, a few more good dishes, I see if Zhao Fatyi will treat you like that again after receiving your consumption tips?"
When the dishes came up, Li Hao said: "My card is mine, and the prompt message is sent to me, and Fat Yi doesn't have any information about my consumption." Originally, I was going to leave her phone number and let her supervise me, but she refused. No matter how I use it, she won't say anything, so I'll follow you today, just be happy!" Li Hao's words made the brothers froze for a moment, and they didn't even want her husband's consumption reminder information, what kind of wife is this?
Zhao Panyi and Liang Yu in the mall, almost every store went to visit, and it was only one floor, so Zhao Panyi pulled Liang Yu to sit in the rest area of the mall. "Do you go shopping like this? Every store goes in to have a look, and even tries on clothes? Don't you feel very tired? Sit down and rest for a while, I really admire you for shopping like this in high heels?" Zhao Fatyi beat her somewhat heavy calf, "You said you wanted to go shopping like this, I will accompany you in casual shoes?" Zhao Fatyi looked down and saw that although he was not tall, he still had three-centimeter shoes.
"Fat Yi, you are really spoiled by your husband, and you complain so much after only one floor? My colleagues and I have always walked from the highest floor to the first floor, and we never feel tired? You, you are really squeamish. Liang Yu said, with an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm too squeamish, I'm sorry, okay? I'll invite you to coffee, a big cup, right? Rest, I'll go shopping with you, from the top floor to the first floor, okay? I will invite you to a big meal in the evening, give you energy, and continue tomorrow!" Zhao Fatyi's good temper is famous.
Liang Yu looked at Zhao Fatyi with some surprise, "You mean that you are still willing to go shopping with me tomorrow, and are you still willing to listen to my nagging?" Any colleague or friend, she is tired from walking on the street for a day, and no one will be willing to accompany her to go shopping for the next day, and for two consecutive days?
Zhao Panyi held Liang Yu's hand and smiled sincerely, "What did you say? We are best friends and best friends, in that case, isn't it natural for me to accompany you shopping? Is it necessary to be so surprised? When I am in a bad mood, it would be good for you to accompany me like this? Don't be annoyed by me then." Zhao Fatyi didn't want Liang Yu to have a burden in her heart, so she could only say that she felt more comfortable, and she didn't have to think that she needed to repay this favor.
Liang Yu looked at Zhao Fatyi and smiled, "You are really a kind and good person." Fat Yi, I'm really lucky to have friends and girlfriends like you. This is Liang Yu's true words. Even if there has been no contact for a long time, Zhao Fatyi will always be such a good friend who is willing to listen and accompany him.
For dinner, Zhao Panyi took Liang Yu to a restaurant she knew. Liang Yu looked at the almost full hall, "Fat Yi, let's change the family! There are so many people in this family, it will take a long time to get a seat, right? I'm really tired now, I don't want to stand anymore." For the first time after getting to know each other, Liang Yu admitted that he would also be tired and feel tired. Zhao Fatyi looked at Liang Yu with a smile, she believed that if she did this, Liang Yu would definitely change.
"It's okay, this is a friend of my family Li Hao, so I have a card, and I have booked a small private room in advance, I want you to have a good rest and taste the food. After Zhao Fatyi took out the card, the waiter took them upstairs and into a chic small private room. "Our family is a foodie, so we often look for delicious food everywhere, so naturally we know a lot of restaurants, so you don't have to be polite to me, just eat with peace of mind. Zhao Fatyi wants Liang Yu to really rest for a while, don't let her nerves collapse so tightly at any time? is also a middle-aged woman, Liang Yu's hard work is completely reflected in her skin and complexion, she is a little unbearable, and she sincerely hopes to let her friends get a temporary rest with her own efforts.
Liang Yu looked at her best friend blankly, Zhao Fatyi is a good person who makes her accept it from the bottom of her heart, not to mention her family. Liang Yu now understands the reason why Zhao Fatyi is always so happy. "Okay, I'll listen to you for everything, I'm very grateful for your kindness, Fat Yi. ”
In the evening, Zhao Fatyi, who returned home, was exhausted. Li Hao and his son sat next to Fat Yi and asked with a smile: "It seems that you haven't walked less today? How about it, it's fun to go out with good friends all day, have you always said bad things about me?" Li Hao handed over a glass of water and said with a smile.
Zhao Fatyi laughed, "I've been listening to her complain about her husband and children, I almost only have ears, no mouth! Although my children and husband are not the best, they are my treasures in my heart, and I am really lucky and very happy." Thank you for coming into my life. ”
"Mom, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly say such touching words. You see how moved my dad became, please don't be so good at talking, okay?" said this, but walked to the back of the sofa and pinched Zhao Fatyi's shoulder. "Dad, so we shouldn't argue with my mom at any time, because my mom is so good at talking, we can't talk to her at all. "My son just said this naughtily on purpose.
Li Hao said with a smile, "My friends say that I care too much about my wife and family, and they are a little too much." Son, do you also look at your father and me like this?" Li Hao asked deliberately, just to let Zhao Fatyi know and understand his hard work.
Zhao Fatyi took Li Hao's hand and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, my super good husband, I am really fortunate to have met you in this life, so I just wanted to thank you for coming to my life." Whether it's you, or our precious children, I sincerely thank you. Yo, is the youngest daughter of our family still studying hard? You don't let her come out and sit and distract from her high concentration. Zhao Panyi stood up, took the dogs to her daughter's door, and knocked on her daughter's door, "Baby, is it convenient for mom to go in now? Mom is back, I want to go in and see my baby daughter, okay?"
The son looked at his father and smiled, "Mom has always been like this, since we were kids, she would knock on the door, and even more so now." Dad, I can now understand why you like my mom so much. She really deserves your liking, and she deserves to be cared for so much. "When the child grows up, he begins to understand his father. Moreover, the eldest son of the Li family is a very sensible and mature person since he was a child, and he can understand his father even more.
Li Hao smiled, "Actually, I have never considered whether it is worth taking care of your mother like this, but since I chose to marry her, I must be responsible for her and treat her well for a lifetime, this is my choice and my responsibility must be fulfilled." Son, there really aren't so many considerations for emotional matters, that is, if you really like someone, you want to be responsible for her life, just have such a consciousness. "My son is also old enough to fall in love, I wonder what kind of girlfriend he will find?" Your dad is not an emotional expert, but he can give you some advice from people who have come before, and he promises to respect your privacy, which is a secret for our father and son. ”
"Dad, you're really good at talking. Don't worry, in my heart, you will always be the first, better than your mother. The son laughed a little at his father's naivety, but when he thought about it, he also understood his father's love for them, "Dad, do you think that this kind of life between you and your mother is a kind of happiness? I remember that my mother was sick before and she didn't remember us, and she seemed to be a little sad and sad at that time? Dad, what happened to your mother at that time, do you know?"
Li Hao was a little silent, he really didn't know what happened to his wife at that time? It was to the point of amnesia? It was the last memory he wanted to remember, and he even wanted to figure out but didn't dare to figure out a piece of the past?" "I don't want to know and I don't want to ask your mother, because your mother has done her best to me and our family over the years, what qualification do I have to ask the reason for her illness at that time." Child, love is so unfair, when you love someone deeply, that person may not also pay the same affection, but as long as you sincerely choose not to regret it, then there will be no regrets in life, no matter what the result is?" Li Hao told his son with his own personal experience that if you really fall in love with someone, then don't regret it. "Son, I feel that falling in love with your mother in this life is already my greatest happiness. I really don't need your mother to give me anything in return, as long as she's healthy, safe and happy! She's been with me for decades, and I'm already satisfied, and I have no other extravagant hopes. To love someone is to not need any conditions and reasons, this is what I think of as love. Li Hao's heartfelt words just want his son to be lucky enough to have someone he really loves like himself. Love is originally an experience and experience of life, and it doesn't necessarily have to be anything?
