In the evening, Mu Mengling received a call from Mu Mengze.

Mu Mengze: "Lingling, I've already helped you play a good striker, and then it's up to you." ”

Mu Mengling: "Okay, I know, thank you, brother." What's Dad's attitude? Penetrate the bottom first. ”

Mu Mengze grinned, "I don't know, it can be said that it is ambiguous." I just used an analogy, and my dad looked at me with suspicion. You also know that Dad's eyes are sharp, who can stand it. It's a shame that I'm a lawyer, otherwise I would have leaked the stuffing. ”

As soon as Mu Mengling heard this, his heart sank, and it seemed that the form of the conversation when he went home this week was quite grim.

Mu Mengling: "Brother, I know. See you on Saturday and cheer me up. ”

Mu Mengze: "Okay. "That's all there is to it.

On Friday night, Mu Mengling went back to the dormitory after class, packed his things, and got on the last bus back.

Sitting in the bus, looking at the neon lights that gradually lit up outside the window, the traffic passing by, and experiencing the cold and bleakness of early winter, Mu Mengling felt inexplicably more melancholy in his heart.

When Mu Mengling arrived home, just in time for dinner, Mu Dad and Mu Mom looked surprised, and Mu Mengze, who only knew beforehand, smiled at her.

"Why did you come back quietly, and I don't know how to make a phone call first. I'm definitely hungry, I'm going to wash my hands, it's time to eat. Mu Ma took Mu Mengling's bag a little distressed.

"Okay." Mu Mengling listened to Mu Ma's nagging with a smile, went to the bathroom to wash her hands and came out, and when she sat down at the dinner table, Mu Ma had already helped her serve the meal and take the chopsticks.

Mu Mengling's eyes were a little sour, and it was only when she returned home that she found out that she was a princess.

"Eat, eat." Mu Dad's voice was full of joy.

After a few people finished eating quietly, Mu Mengling hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. When Mu Mengling washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, she saw the whole family sitting in the living room waiting for her.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?" Mu Mengling was a little nervous by the serious atmosphere.

Mu Ma: "Lingling, is something happening?" ”

"Nope." Mu Mengling sat down on the couch.

Mu Mengze nodded at her, Mu Mengling hesitated, and Xingyan blinked a little uneasily, looking at Mu Dad.

At this time, Mu Dad had already seen the small movements of the two children in his eyes, he coughed lightly, and said to Mu Ma: "Didn't you just say that Sister-in-law Li next door was looking for you for something?" ”

Mu's mother was said by Mu's father, "Oops" and slapped her leg, "Look at my memory, I forgot what I just said in the evening." ”

"Mom, then you can go quickly, so as to save Sister-in-law Li a hurry." Mu Mengling also urged.

"Lingling, are you really okay?" Mu Ma is still not very relieved.

"Mom, how old is Lingling, what can he do? Or do you want something to happen to her? Mu Mengze interjected on the side.

"What are you talking about, you kid? It's okay. I'll go to Sister-in-law Li first, and when I come back, I'll cook something delicious for you to make up. Mu Ma threw down the words, got up and went to the door.

Mu Mengling made up for it, oops, how did she forget that her mother had this habit.

"If you two have something to hide from my old man, tell me and listen to it." Mu Dad saw Mu Ma go out, so he asked out.

"Hee-hee, Dad, my brother should have told you." Mu Mengling moved Mu Mengze out.

It was rare for Mu Dad not to be fooled by his daughter's hippie smile, he looked at Mu Mengling with a serious face: "Are you serious?" ”

Mu Mengling nodded solemnly: "Dad, I'm serious." ”

When Mu Dad heard Mu Mengling's words, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Lingling, this matter is not something that can be done only by being serious. You have to understand that you are now a student and your duty should be to read. If it's just a hobby, I'm absolutely in favor of it, but if it's a career, then I ask you, what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to do this? ”

Mu Mengling already knew that Mu Dad would object, and she didn't have too much disappointment, she just said what she thought in her heart: "Dad, what you said is reasonable, but I also have my considerations." There is no doubt that students will put their studies first, and wouldn't it be good for me to develop my career without affecting my studies? ”

Mu Dad shook his head: "You say now that it doesn't affect your studies, if one day when your career conflicts with your studies, what is your choice?" ”

Mu Mengling bit her lip: "Dad, I don't think students should die studying, in order to adapt to the survival of society in the future, we should contact and exercise our abilities." If there is a conflict between my studies and my career in the future, I will choose the one that is beneficial to me. ”

Mu Papa's words were solemn: "Lingling, society is very cruel. There are people who leave school prematurely to pursue their dreams, but people like Bill Gates are in the minority. What should you do when you are finished? Therefore, knowledge is the gun that we will go out of society in the future, and if the gun is sharpened, the road will not be difficult. ”

"Dad, you also said that society is cruel. I don't deny you, but I think it's not contradictory to sharpen a gun and a dagger at the same time, isn't it? And I'm going to improve and strengthen myself. Mu Mengling tried to convince Mu Dad that she already had the idea of planning to find an apprentice with the old lady in her heart.

Mu Dad still didn't let go: "Do you think that you are young and can start over if you fail?" But there are some things that are missed, and they can't be made up for by starting over. No amount of money can make up for lost time. Being young is a cost, but it can't be a condition for you to squander. ”

Mu Mengling: "Dad, I didn't squander it, I was just training myself." Some truths are not as clear as experiencing them as quickly as they are experiencing them in person. ”

Mu Dad's brows furrowed, obviously a little headache for his daughter's stubbornness.

"Dad, Lingling, what you say makes sense. Dad, you just let Lingling try, don't let her taste the result of failure, she won't admit defeat. Mu Mengze spoke up and broke the deadlock between the two.

Mu Dad rubbed his temples with his hand: "Dad, I can't help it." Old, old, and old. ”

Mu Mengling was sour by what Mu Dad said, and rushed over to hug Mu Dad's arm: "Dad, you are not old, really." I promise you, if I can't do it in the future, I'll do what you say and study hard. Good no good? ”

Mu Dad looked at his daughter hanging on his arm with a smile, and smiled: "Okay, you are responsible for the choices you make." As long as you don't regret it in the future. We, as parents, can only help you see it from the side. ”

Mu Mengling: "Dad, I won't let you down. The voice was a little choked, and she could hear that there was not only anxiety and helplessness for the children in the words of the wooden father, but also the feelings of the children growing up.

The three of them discussed the contract.
