Chapter 64: Internal Retreat

Although Li Ran was very moved by his mother's practice of retiring for herself, she felt that it was inappropriate and worth it after all. First, he can't let his mother give up her career for herself, you must know that her mother has been in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since she joined the work more than 20 years ago, how could she have persevered for so many years if she didn't really like it. Second, the mother can now say that there is no obstacle in the road ahead of the main part, and retreating inside is tantamount to giving up on building a good prospect. Moreover, this is also the cause that grandpa has dedicated his life to, and as an only daughter, she should also want to inherit this career.

Not only from the mother's personal point of view, but also for Li Ran himself, he actually doesn't need his mother to help him take care of the child. Although he can't watch two children alone in Vanilla, he can just find another one, Wanjia's current profitability cannot be underestimated, and he is not a person who is short of money. And as the child grows up, it will be easier to bring some after the age of one, and when he is three or four years old, he can be sent directly to the kindergarten in the morning and afternoon, and Li Ran can take it alone. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, there is no need for the mother to retreat.

So after thinking about it, Li Ran still planned to persuade him, so he said to his mother: "Mom, you should think about it again, don't I still have a nanny here." If you want to see your children, you can come over after work, and there is no need to retreat. ”

His persuasion made his mother quite happy, and she also heard that he felt a little guilty, and comforted: "Your little nanny is not so old, you are stupid and bold, I am not at ease." Besides, Mom's internal retreat is also for your brothers and sisters, so you don't have to be burdened. ”

In any case, the fact that the youngest son can think about himself now means that he is sensible, and he knows that he feels sorry for his mother, and he is naturally happy to be a mother. However, the reason why she wanted to retreat was not entirely because of Li Ran, helping Li Ran to watch the child was just a bypass after retreating.

Li Ran thought that his mother wanted to help him take care of his two children on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also a rare grandson, so he thought about retreating. This logic seems normal, but it turns out that using the wrong basis can only lead to wrong conclusions. He used the mentality of ordinary retired old people to analyze a high-ranking cadre of a republic, and what was even more wrong was not ordinary outrageous.

There are four in the third generation of the family, including Li Ran, but there are not many in the fourth generation. The eldest brother Li Shuo already has a daughter, but perhaps because he has been in the army all the year round and has little time to go home, his relationship with his sister-in-law Zeng Jing has gradually become stiff, and he has not been able to do anything since he gave birth to a child four years ago.

The second sister Li Xiu and the second brother-in-law Cao Bo have a harmonious relationship, and they also have a son and a daughter, but the two children have always been helped by the second sister's mother-in-law, and after all, they are not their own. The third brother Li Jin only got married the year before last and has no children, and Li Ran is not very clear about other circumstances.

A generation of four children barely has three children, and two of them are not in their own family. The fourth generation of the Li family is very rare, and in my memory, the old man has been putting pressure on his mother Gu Yushu, and his mother has put pressure on his two daughters-in-law, and finally it has become a criticism conference every Chinese New Year.

However, the main reason for the mother's internal retreat is the situation that the Li family is facing now, as one of the few remaining leaders of the older generation, the old man is not only full of protégés, but also the pillar of the family line. After all, age is dominant and longevity, and there will be no chaos in the faction with him, which is the confidence of the Li family as a three-generation banner.

But there are pros and cons in everything, and the survival of the old man of one generation has also brought serious constraints to the development of the third generation of the family. If my father goes further, only the commanders of the major military regions and even the Military Commission are left, and the prospect of my mother's career after being transferred back from the United States, the Li family will look a little scary in the future. One is in the State Department and one is in the military region.

In this case, other people can't help but worry, and naturally they all unanimously choose to suppress the next generation, and there is no way to take the previous generation anyway. His eldest brother is better in the army, after all, the foundation of the Li family is in the army. The most uncomfortable thing is his second sister and third sister, both of whom work in the system, and the Li family's influence in the local government is insufficient, so they are suppressed by all parties.

For the development of her children, her mother Gu Yushu obviously wants to sacrifice her political life in exchange for the political future of her two children. Before, Li Ran fell into the main idea that his mother was for him to retreat, but now that he has figured it out, he will naturally not persuade him again. The relationship between the four brothers and sisters in a family is really not very good, and they can barely quarrel. The most favored in the family is Li Ran, the youngest son, and the most valued is the eldest Li Shuo.

The second sister and the third brother argued with their parents because of the Chinese New Year, they may not have any other thoughts, they just want to vent their grievances, but their parents naturally won't listen to it. Now that the mother wants to fulfill the second brother and third sister, Li Ran, as a son, can't say anything more, so she won't persuade anymore.

Mother naturally wanted to stay at night, and she didn't go to someone else's house and go back so late. There are also a lot of rooms in the backyard, and the home appliances are convenient, so it is not troublesome to live at all.

Vanilla and Chen Hu stayed with Li Ran for a while and asked them to go back to rest, and the driver of the garrison was also sent back to Xishan Villa by him, after all, the old man was going to use the car tomorrow, and he couldn't go back if he didn't go back.

When Li Ran came back, it was already past seven o'clock, and he chatted with his mother until eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock. When it was time for the two children to go to bed, Li Ran carried them into the bedroom to rest. After that, Li Ran came out to talk to his mother, who hadn't seen him for two years, and there were so many things that happened in the middle, and there were too many things to say. As she spoke, her mother talked about family affairs, which was regarded as the thing that Li Ran wanted to avoid the most. But he could only follow his mother's wishes.

I knew in my heart that my mother still wanted him to be soft with his father, and the relationship between father and son was so stiff now, and his mother was the most uncomfortable one. Think about the fact that his ex was the easiest of the four children at home before, after all, no one urged him to have children. And although the relationship with his father was not as close as that with his mother, he was also harmonious, but all this ended completely when his father Li Zhengfeng decided to marry him.

The relationship between the ex and his father can only be described as "full of gunsmoke" after his father insisted on letting him marry, and then he had to quarrel with his father every year when he came back for the New Year, but the result was basically useless, and they all ended in failure. He couldn't do anything about his stubborn father, but if the old man annoyed him, he could ask the troops to cancel his vacation and let him go back immediately.

He has been in the army for five years, and since his mother was transferred the year before last, his predecessor has basically been with his girlfriend when he comes home for the New Year. Originally, Gu Yushu could ease the relationship at home, but without her cover, Li Zhengfeng easily found out about him and his girlfriend. It has been found many times that after repeated bans, he directly said that the two would never be allowed to get married, but it backfired. Young men and women, dry firewood and blazing fires killed people without accident.

Things have come to this point, and they have knots in each other's hearts. However, the current Li Ran naturally will not be reluctant to settle on this knot, as a latecomer, he can look at the relationship between the two very objectively, and the refrain is naturally nothing. After all, he is subservient to his own Lao Tzu, and he is not with other people, and there is no face relationship. However, things are not so simple, if he submits softly, the marriage will be 100% decided. Even if Qin Yuqing passed away now, let's not mention it for the time being, after a year or two, an engagement and marriage will definitely be arranged.

Now he still has some courage to resist, but when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. So he plans to stick to the end, and take the child to the old man of the Xiangshan Sanatorium when necessary, for the sake of the child's face.

Naturally, he can't tell his mother honestly, otherwise he is afraid that he will be "killed by righteousness", so he can only respond to what his mother says first, and then find a way to delay, and he can't help himself. After chatting until ten o'clock, seeing that she was a little sleepy, Li Ran took her to the backyard to rest, the backyard originally had three rooms, Li Ran opened up two of them to make a suite, and the other was a single room. It is natural to live in a suite for my own mother, with toilets and bathrooms, and I asked the vanilla to turn on the air conditioning in advance, and took the bedding and washing tools, everything is very convenient.

After arranging the old lady properly, Li Ran also went back to the bedroom to rest after washing.
