Chapter Twenty-Nine: Starting All Over Again
Professor Cheng drank the porridge boiled by his son, and it was difficult to tell the taste in his heart.
"Is it still successful?" Cheng Lin asked his father with a smile, "I've been up for a long time, but unfortunately it's still a little different!"
"You can eat it!" Professor Cheng easily did not praise people.
After dinner, Professor Cheng watched his son clean up the dining table and kitchen, thought about it, and said, "Cheng Lin, tell me, what do you like about Liu?"
"Dad, I knew you were here for this!Look, you didn't hold on for a while before the fox's tail was revealed!" Cheng Lin dried his hands, took out the washed fruit, and said, "Mom called you?"
"Some time ago, you went home every day, and during this time you didn't even make a phone call to go home, your mother was worried about you, afraid that something would happen to you! I said, you were really rejected by Liu, right?" Professor Cheng understands his son, if there are no major changes in life, he is the most regular person, he is so capricious, there must be something in his heart.
Cheng Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, I've figured it out!"
"What's the conclusion?" Professor Cheng smiled, "Don't say it yet, let me guess! According to your mother's idea, if you figure it out, you don't like Liu; according to my idea, the best case is that you understand the gap between two people, and it is better to be friends than to be a lover and a husband and wife, of course, this also means separation; but according to your character, it is impossible to change your mind easily, but since you said that you have figured it out, I'm afraid you have thought of a way to solve the current dilemma that Liu does not accept you!"
Cheng Lin looked at his father, nodded and said, "Dad deserves to be a father, that's right!"
Professor Cheng frowned, took a cigarette and lit it, and said, "I can't say anything about this matter." Since you were a child, I have taught you to be independent, and you are also more competitive, which basically satisfies my vanity of being a father, and I don't have any more requirements for you. What I want to say to you today is that if you choose another woman, your father and mother will have no opinion, whether you divorce or love each other in the future, we are happy to see it. But if you choose Yoo Yes, it's a different story!"
"What's the difference?" Cheng Lin sat down and said, "Dad, tell me about it!"
Professor Cheng looked at his son's serious face and said, "You have been in a foreign country for a few years, and you have received education there, but you should not forget that you live in China, and China has its own values and cultural outlook. In Chinese habits, you and Liu are not a good match, you don't have a common foundation in life, you have received different educations, and your life experiences are very different, maybe you like her now because it's a little new, but what about after this feeling? What do you let Liu do? Let her accept those gossip accusations alone?"
Cheng Lin thought for a moment and said, "What kind of gossip? I want to be with her and it doesn't get in the way of anyone, right? The two of us are independent people, of course we have the right to choose the life we want!"
"It doesn't matter if you marry an old lady in the United States, there is a problem in China!" Professor Cheng said, "Although China claims to be equal between men and women, in fact, men still dominate, and tolerance towards men is based on harsh criticism of women." From the point of view of external conditions, Hello Liu is too much, so basically Liu will bear all the blame, can you guarantee that everyone will understand your so-called love? Most people will still put their family background, education level, and work level on a scale. ”
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "So, I will give Liu is extra weight! Besides, foreign countries are not as good as you say!"
Professor Cheng turned his head and said, "What size? People are almost fixed when they are thirty years old, can there be any changes?"
Cheng Lin was full of confidence and said, "You wait and see! Don't let your eyes fall out when the time comes!"
"So, you've made up your mind?" Professor Cheng said.
Cheng Lin picked up a piece of apple and handed it to his father, saying, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, I've actually thought about what you said, and I think I can face all the problems." The most important thing now is Liu yes's attitude!" Cheng Lin smiled, "However, I believe that as long as she is determined, she will definitely be able to face these problems, I believe her!"
Professor Cheng looked at his son's confident appearance, and then thought about how many times he met Liu is sleek and thoughtful appearance, sighed, and said, "In this way, I won't say much, just think about how to make your mother accept it first!"
"This question, wait until I convince Liu is to think about it! This time may be very long, Dad, don't worry!" Cheng Lin turned around and went into the kitchen and said, "I'm ready for a long-term war of resistance, maybe in this time period, my mother's mind will change again!"
Professor Cheng snorted twice, touched his stomach without any oil and water, and said, "What are you making porridge for?"
"I consulted Lao Qin, he said, chasing his wife is the most important thing, I think I don't seem to have anything to show for myself, just make porridge, what can Liu not cook in the future, I can still drink a sip of hot soup!" Cheng Lin came out of the kitchen, brought out two cups of fruit juice, and said, "Try it, I squeezed it myself!"
Professor Cheng took the cup and sighed: "Your mother will definitely cry when she sees it! I have raised my son for more than 20 years, and I haven't even drunk my saliva, so now I can cook and make juice for other women!"
"Dad, this is your problem, why can't you even cook a meal for your mother?" Cheng Lin teased.
Professor Cheng touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "Okay, I should also go, you send me!"
Cheng Lin sent his father downstairs to take a taxi, and slowly went home, looking at the juice cup on the coffee table, with unlimited confidence.
***********
Liu Yiren cleaned up and down the store, then went to the merchant he had been optimistic about before to buy some cloth, bought a few plastic models and put them in the display area, and put some of the clothes he had made before on display outside.
The store opened, but the business was not very good. Many people saw the big dress customization words on the window, and they came in with interest to ask, but most of them saw it, and few of them were really customized.
In the face of this recession, Liu has nothing to do, he sits in the store every day and watches the flies fly back and forth, and his head is turning around the two so-called propaganda methods that Cheng Lin said before. However, when she first entered the city, she did not know the website where the young people in the city gathered, nor did she know how to make a promotional page, let alone a familiar wedding photography shop to support each other.
Liu is picked up the mobile phone, looked at Cheng Lin's number, and wanted to dial several times to ask for advice, but he didn't have the courage. She despised herself in her heart, when did she say that the willow who was the same became such a mother-in-law and her mother's tired willow?
I was just about to press the call button, but I saw a black car parked at the door. Liu stood up and looked at it, and saw Cheng Lin pull the car door and walk out. I haven't seen Cheng Lin for a long time, how can I see it, Liu is heart jumped, his face was a little hot, he hurriedly collected his heart, and greeted: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you have time to come?"
Cheng Lin looked at Liu Is, walked over generously, looked at the antique signboard, and hung the word "Everything" on it, which was quite a bit of the chic feeling of the ancients. He smiled and said, "Sister, there's no business, right?"
Liu is invited Cheng Lin in, walked into the partition, let a comfortable sofa stool come out, and said, "It just opened, it's like this!"
Cheng Lin glanced at the bright glass partition door, and felt unhappy, he would have to replace it one day.
Cheng Lin sat on the stool, looked at some clothing books, sample drawings and fabrics on the big sewing table, and said, "Sister, are you in a hurry, are you in a hurry? I've been busy writing reports all this time, so I don't have time to come over to help you!" Cheng Lin, thank you so much!"
Cheng Lin smiled and said, "Sister, don't say words of thanks, just don't say those words that make me sad in the future!"
Liu is patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then don't say those nonsensical words, you kid!"
"Good!"
Liu glanced at Cheng Lin strangely, and actually agreed so happily?But her heart was actually a little uncomfortable, a man's heart is more fickle than a woman's!
