Chapter 386: Family Affection Is a Complicated Thing
1. Family affection is a complicated thing.
For most people, family affection is the warmest thing in this world, and it is also the most precious wealth in life.
But for those who have suffered misfortune, family affection is extremely embarrassing, it may be a scar that is difficult to remove, or it may be a lingering nightmare.
For this, many people are difficult to understand, but Wu Xiaozheng understands.
In this regard, Wu Xiaozheng has a deep understanding.
In his previous life, because of his own experience, he was particularly interested in this aspect of things, and he thought deeply.
He remembered watching a variety show on TV, and the example of the famous actress surnamed Chen on Bay Island in the show resonated deeply with him.
The theme of this show is naturally about family affection.
The actress surnamed Chen said that when she was young, her parents were very busy because she had to raise three children, so in her impression, her childhood was a lack of parental companionship.
And the most difficult thing for her to let go of is that her mother's way of educating her is simple and rude, and when she is not satisfied, she will be beaten directly and slapped is a common thing.
According to the actress surnamed Chen's own words, it is: "My mother is very fierce, and she often slaps me." β
She said: "The most terrifying thing about being beaten by parents is not the physical pain, but when being beaten, the child is treated with no dignity by his parents. And even more terrifying than this is the unpredictability - you don't know when you will step on a landmine, and violence and humiliation will come. β
This is the sentence that resonates with Wu Xiaozheng the most.
The actress surnamed Chen also said that after school, she would rather watch the stories of the dead on the tombstones in the cemetery than go home.
β¦β¦
Wu Xiaozheng feels that the actress surnamed Chen is actually very lucky, because she still has the opportunity to talk about this experience frankly on the show, which means that she has been relieved and has begun to try to mend her relationship with her mother.
In fact, people who have been hurt really don't let go so easily.
is like Wu Xiaozheng, the harm caused to him by his parents, he didn't let go of it before jumping off the building in his previous life.
So he now understands his sister's feelings.
He knew that because of his mother's previous behavior, Wu Xiaoli must have felt that this mother didn't love me.
This is a very horrific psychological injury.
In fact, if Wu Xiaozheng was really just a fourteen-year-old boy at this time, he would definitely think the same way.
That's why he felt like he had nothing to say just now.
But now, for the sake of a complete home, Wu Xiaozheng has to let go and work hard to mend this relationship.
But the question is how to fix it?
Wu Xiaozheng had no clue at all, he could only observe first, and then think of a way.
Tong Xiuli seemed to have something to say.
She followed Wu Minxia for a few steps, stopped again, turned around and said to Wu Xiaozheng: "Xiaozheng, there are still more than four hundred money left in the money you saved for me, and now that you have returned it, I will give it back to you." β
Then she reached into the bag she was carrying and picked it up with great difficulty.
Wu Xiaozheng was a little surprised again.
It seems that she is not as lavish in spending money as Wu Minqing!
Moreover, Wu Xiaozheng didn't expect that she would take the initiative to return the money to herself.
Why is that?
Could it be that her indifference made her feel uncomfortable, so she used this as an excuse to talk to me?
"No need, you can keep it for yourself. β
Wu Xiaozheng first stopped her from taking out the money, and then asked, "The money is for you to spend, why don't you spend more?"
Tong Xiuli said: "It's enough to spend so much, I'm afraid that if you spend it all at once, if you don't come......"
Wu Xiaozheng guessed correctly.
Because Wu Xiaoli didn't speak, because of Wu Xiaozheng's indifference, Tong Xiuli felt the distance between her children and herself.
This sense of distance was already there last time, and it also made her insecure, she was worried that her children would no longer come to see her in the future, so she didn't dare to spend the money that Wu Xiaozheng saved for her.
Now Wu Xiaozheng's words made her at a loss, she didn't know whether to pay back the money or not.
Wu Xiaozheng felt this.
He knew that his attitude towards this mother was indeed a little indifferent, and this indifference was not pretended.
But the problem is that it's a bit difficult to get him to show closeness naturally.
Wu Xiaozheng found that the relationship between himself and his mother is very similar to the relationship between the actress surnamed Chen and her mother on TV.
Wu Xiaozheng sensed that something was wrong and said, "Let's go, let's go back first." β
His tone became softer.
But when I walked to the front of the car, there was a problem again.
Tong Xiuli was naturally surprised by this extraordinary car.
Wu Xiaozheng realized how naΓ―ve his original idea of pretending to be forced in front of his mother was through this car.
Seeing Tong Xiuli's surprise, he didn't have the slightest sense of pleasure.
Maybe compared to family affection, other things are worthless!
"Our own car. Wu Xiaozheng explained a little in a gentle tone.
At this time, Wu Minxia opened the back door and said, "Xiaoli, you sit in the back with your mother." β
Wu Xiaozheng felt that Wu Xiaoli was pulling his hand tightly.
She's resisting the arrangement!
Maybe in her heart, it wasn't the strange father who really hurt her, but this selfish mother.
Wu Xiaozheng noticed this and hurriedly said, "Let my mother sit in the front, you and Xiaoli sit in the back." β
As soon as this sentence fell, Wu Xiaoli's hand immediately relaxed again.
And so it was!
Wu Xiaozheng took the initiative to help Tong Xiuli open the door of the passenger seat: "Come, let's go in." β
Before Tong Xiuli could move, Wu Xiaoli let go of his hand first and hurriedly drilled to the back door.
Alas, it's really a bit difficult to make up for this relationship!
Wu Xiaozheng felt that he might be able to adjust slowly, but the little girl's side was a big problem.
The car started.
Wu Xiaozheng felt that Tong Xiuli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to be a little restless.
Is it because the changes in her life make her feel at a loss?
In order to relieve her nervousness, Wu Xiaozheng had to say nothing: "First take you to the county seat here, find a place for you to take a good bath, and then find a place to eat." β
It's really a no-brainer.
However, according to local customs, people who have just come out of prison must first wash and wash up, and change and throw away all the clothes that have worn through the prison before they can re-enter their homes.
Maybe it's to get rid of bad luck.
Wu Xiaozheng originally didn't believe this, but he had to comply, because there were still two old people in the family who believed in this.
"Good. Tong Xiuli's nervousness eased slightly.
The car moved, carrying an inexplicable family affection.
