Chapter 22: Gu's Father's Decision
Monday is always listless, not counting the fact that there are only four days left today to have a weekend holiday, what a long wait! The students in the class are a little cowardly, and they have not yet switched from the weekend vacation mode to the study mode.
Feng Xiaoxiao was always a little uneasy when she was in class on Monday, but Feng Xiaoxiao didn't listen to what the teacher said on the podium, her eyes always looked in a certain direction unconsciously, and the second row of the third group was still reading extracurricular books. You desperately want to get what others don't care about and get it easily, so what, as long as you work hard enough, you will have a chance to get what you want one day. Everything about himself is obtained through hard work, but what Jiang Yao said that day will not be misunderstood as being instructed by herself, she is an illegitimate daughter brought back by his father, and his father likes to take her everywhere, such a scheming girl can't hide. But she and Gu Yuanxiang are indeed a little inseparable, and it is not a secret, she would believe that she was not instructed by me. In any case, it should be made clear that the black pot cannot be carried back.
After class, Gu Yuanxiang stretched his waist, I was so tired from peeking at extracurricular books in class, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Selected Notes on Song Ci" was finally finished, and when I closed the book to prepare for the activity, I saw Feng Xiaoxiao walking towards him, and Gu Yuanxiang's conditioned muscles tightened.
Feng Xiaoxiao approached Gu Yuanxiang, looked at her with complicated eyes, and subconsciously adjusted to her demeanor every time she spoke to Gu Yuanxiang, and said in a cold and hard tone: "I will do what Jiang Yao did in advance!" One! Root! Read! I don't know the point of the novel, I'm not familiar with her, I didn't instruct her to find you, I'm not afraid that you will come to ask for forgiveness, but I don't like to be wronged by others, that thing has nothing to do with me, whether you believe it or not. ”
Gu Yuanxiang was a little stunned, is this here to explain or provoke? If you ignore her last sentence and the tight corners of her mouth with her chin slightly raised, it can be considered to be an explanation, but this look and tone really seem to be provocative!
Well, it's okay for her to explain, probably because she and she should be incompatible, and I really can't talk.
"I know that the events of that day have nothing to do with you, such a low number of segments is not your technique", Gu Yuanxiang also raised his chin slightly as he learned from her, "But even your high number of segments will still not affect me, because you will not succeed." After speaking, he raised his chin and left Feng Xiaoxiao's stinky fart.
When I came home from school and sat in my brother's car, I thought of Feng Xiaoxiao looking at her stupidity in a daze and wanted to laugh, it turned out that it was really comfortable to despise people with righteousness, no wonder Feng Xiaoxiao always liked to come to herself and swear that she would be more powerful in the future.
"What's silly?" Gu Yuanfeng was very curious about what made his sister giggle from time to time.
"Today, I completely overwhelmed Feng Xiaoxiao in terms of momentum." Gu Yuanxiang smiled at what happened after class today and told Gu Yuanfeng in detail.
He knew what happened to Gu Yuanxiang at Liang Duo's birthday party, and when he first found out, he was really angry and wanted to teach the little girl a lesson, daring to bully his sister, he didn't have the temperament of a girl to be humble, or Kan Zi also grabbed him, saying that Gu Yuanxiang followed him when she was wronged, of course, she had to find her own way, if you were still angry, then let it be. Gu Yuanfeng pressed this matter, but he heard that the little girl's brother was in art class today and somehow was splashed with paint, which was colorful. Well, don't tell your sister about this, children love to think about it.
When he got home, Gu Yuanxiang jumped out of the car and ran into the house, hey, usually at this time, grandma is at the door to greet him, why is there no one today. Gu Yuanxiang felt that the atmosphere at home was not quite right, and it seemed that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he grabbed his brother who wanted to rush into the house and tiptoed home.
"You bastard, don't you think that your wings are hard now, you can make your own decisions about everything, you didn't even say a word to me about such a big thing, just resign, do you still have me as a father in your eyes!"
As soon as Gu Yuanxiang walked to the staircase, he heard his grandfather's angry voice from the study upstairs, followed by a crackling sound and the book falling to the ground.
Brother and sister, you look at me and I look at you, I don't understand what's wrong, I was fine when I left in the morning, why is there such a big fire now. Although Grandpa is very serious and has a bad temper with men, he has never seen such a big fire.
The two siblings looked at each other and quietly walked to the door of the study holding hands.
"Dad, I didn't do it right, it's my unfilial piety, but if I ask you, you will definitely not agree."
It's Daddy! Gu Yuanfeng excitedly wanted to call his father, but before he could make a sound, he was covered by a small hand.
"Don't squeak, Grandpa is so hot, Dad is being trained." Gu Yuanxiang expressed with his eyes.
"Got it, you put your hands down first." Gu Yuanfeng blinked in understanding.
"I know I don't agree with you doing this! You'll cut it first, and you'll be reasonable! Grandpa Gu was obviously angry, and his tone was much higher.
"Dad, you know, I'm not interested in politics at all."
"You told me that the reason you were so direct was because you weren't interested? Isn't interest a reason to be responsible? What are you interested in! That's how I taught you! Grandpa Gu was even more angry when he heard this reason, and the table was slammed.
"Dad, I'm really deliberate, you know I've always hated the constraints of rules, I didn't agree at the beginning, you said you haven't tried how to know if you're interested. I tried it according to your advice, but I really don't fit it. No matter how good I do, I am not happy, and I am afraid that sooner or later I will bring disaster to my family! ”
Grandpa Gu looked at the most detached little son in front of him with his head down, and his stubborn appearance seemed to have returned to standing in front of him as small as before. Grandpa Gu said in a soothing tone, "You go back to work, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
"Dad, I really won't go back, I'm not a child anymore, I can take responsibility for my actions." Father Gu's tone was firm.
"That's how you are responsible!" Grandpa Gu suddenly picked up the pen holder on the desk and threw it at Dad Gu.
Gu's father didn't dodge, let the pen holder hit his body, and the pen inside fell to the ground with a clatter, raised his head and said with red eyes: "Dad, Xiangxiang is in the third grade this year, but I have spent too little time with her over the years, so little that I don't know how she grew up secretly." Xinyu and I both want to have children, but I left the child for the sake of work, Xiangxiang was born so small and soft in my hands, I thought I would love her and protect her well for the rest of my life, but now, I don't even know when she is sick and when she is unhappy!. ”
"Xiangxiang and Xiaofeng are both good children, with us helping you take them, what else is there to worry about." Grandpa Gu thought that his son and grandchildren rarely saw each other, and said in a soothing tone.
"Dad, it's not a matter of worrying, Xiaofeng is about to grow into a little man, I don't want his feelings about his father to be vague when he grows up, I hope that when he is confused and helpless, his parents will be by his side, give him shoulder encouragement, he needs his father to give him direction, and he needs his father to have a man-to-man conversation with him. Mom and dad are irreplaceable for children, and we can't do without them! Father Gu covered his face with a painful expression and continued in a choked voice.
"I've been missing them all these years, and I've wanted to come back more than once, but every time I want to insist on it for a few more years. Xinyu especially missed the child, but she didn't dare to say it in front of me, she knew that if she said it, I would miss the child even more, and she didn't want me to be sad. I've seen her wiping her tears with pictures of her children, but I can't comfort her! The two of us didn't dare to talk about the child, we both missed the child very much, but we pretended not to comfort each other. We can't say, missing is like a monster coming out of it and devouring us if you flash a small opening! Last time I came back with Xinyu and found that the children had grown a lot taller than the last time I came back, Xiangxiang was in the third grade and was so good, they happily told me about the things in their lives, but my heart became colder and colder the more I listened, these things of theirs had nothing to do with me, they didn't have me in their lives, and suddenly felt that I was so far away from them, and even felt that if I didn't come back I would lose them forever! Dad, the eldest brother, second brother and third brother in the family all follow the path you laid for them, and it is enough to have them in the family, so let your son do what he wants to do. ”
Grandpa Gu looked at his tearful son, and knew in his heart that his son was iron-hearted, and his son would not listen to him in everything when he was older. He is the youngest son and the old man, he has been more patient with him than his brothers since he was a child, he no longer tries the little child who relies on his own cleverness to use coercive measures to make him obedient, he is also a father has a child. Every time he leaves, he is indeed so reluctant, although the children usually don't say how much they miss their parents, but the children can be excited for a long time after hearing that their parents are coming back, and the two children are also very sticky to them after they come back.
"You did a good job there, it's a pity to come back now, you go back to work, I want to find a way to transfer you back in the past two years." Grandpa Gu rarely made a concession to give a specific time.
"Dad, I won't go back again when I come back today, I don't want to live like that again, even if it's just for one day!"
"If you think about it, if you do what you want, the family will not help you in any other way." Grandpa Gu said in a low tone.
"I didn't think it on the spur of the moment, I really thought it through."
Gu Yuanxiang felt that the atmosphere in the room had eased down, wiped the tears on his face, and pulled his brother downstairs. Dad must not want us to know his pain and helplessness, and he said that he was going to be our superman forever. Since it is Dad's wish, we just need to see Dad's most majestic and strong side, go down to wash his face, and when we see Dad, we must give him the brightest smile.
