Chapter 182: Father and Son (2)
The mother, who was sitting on the swing chair, sighed softly when she heard these words from the heart of her child, but she did not look very sad, on the contrary, she seemed to be a little happy.
"But he's not entirely incompetent, is he?" Alice said gently.
"Yes, I know, I know that, I'm an adult." Sean smiled bitterly, then sat down beside his mother a little dejectedly, "But...... What I want...... I hope for ...... It's not just two or three letters a month, postcards to write wherever you go, and a phone call every two or three days. What I want is to tell me how to choose when I'm confused, encourage me to keep moving forward when I'm back, and tell me to fight back with my fists when I'm bullied......"
He covered his face and muttered to himself, as if caught up in some kind of memory, but his mother did not speak, but reached out and kept patting him on the back.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm a little too excited." It took a while for Sean to adjust his mood.
"It's okay, it will feel much better if you say what is in your heart." Mom said with a smile.
"It's a pity, I think, for a short time, my dad and I still have irreconcilable contradictions." Sean sighed, "He thinks that the restaurant group that he has spent more than ten years working hard to build is where I should go, so no matter what I do now, it is not a proper job in his eyes." ”
"It's okay, this is a long-term accumulated contradiction, and it naturally needs to be resolved for a long time," Mom didn't care, and her smile was even kinder, "And, I'm glad, I know from your words, you still love your father, this is good." ”
Although Sean was a little stunned, he didn't say anything, just held his mother's hand.
"Well, it's a little windy, I should go back to the house, and you'll need a little alone too," the mother stood up insightfully, "and I won't bother you." ”
"Haode, Mom." Sean nodded, got up and watched his mother go back before sitting back down.
Or do you love your dad? Forget it, I just want him to acknowledge my results. He said this in his heart. Of course, Sean also knows in his heart that there are some things that he just doesn't want to and can't admit.
As some movies or novels say, a supporting character can finally kill the enemy after a long period of careful preparation, and then the protagonist asks him what else can you do after revenge. After such a long time of fighting, suddenly one side gives in, and the other side has little joy or very short joy, and with it more empty holes of losing purpose.
Although Sean and his father have not yet reached that level, they are not easy to resolve, so they can only be left to time for the time being.
Weishenme's father in his past and present lives is the same? Sean sighed and looked up at the dark night sky again.
"Why are you so stupid, you can't handle this problem well?"
"If you look at other people's children, why can others score more than 90 points, but you can only pass?"
"I work hard outside to earn money, and you will repay this? Are you worthy of me? ”
The rude man in his previous life, who had no higher education and was away from home for a long time, would only instinctively measure the child's strengths and weaknesses by test scores. And he has been independent since he was a child, and he is used to having his own opinions, so that he often quarrels with each other and has been beaten a lot.
"Stand here, stand still! Don't make extra moves, when you make a mistake, you have to pay the price! ”
"Do you know what you've done? I don't care how many reasons you have, you're discrediting the family! ”
"From tomorrow onwards, I won't be allowed to sing in bars anymore, there are many places to work, this is my decision!"
This serious man in this life, although knowledgeable and sociable, is also away from home for a long time and never gives his children a choice. And he easily felt at home, and he had a conciliatory mother by his side, so most of the conflicts ended in his patience and concession, but it also caused the sharp contradictions that are now present.
Although the two of them are almost all-round differences, they are essentially the same, always used to being in control, always not allowing dissenting voices, and always thinking that they are right. Asking you to do what he says without ever thinking about your feelings, under the banner of "this is for your good", asks you to be an obedient machine.
However, Rao is like this, there are some things hidden in Sean's heart, and I am afraid that they will never be erased.
The man in his previous life, when he went south to work, fell off his scaffold because the safety measures at the construction site were not in place, and the ambulance was fine before it was ready. According to his co-workers, when he was dying, he clung to the foreman's hand and refused to let go, knowing that the foreman had repeatedly promised that he would definitely send the pension back, and he also pulled a group of people to testify before he breathed.
And in this life, this man, although when he feels the growth and the image of his father again, is outside all year round, can only be contacted by phone, and can only go home on holidays, but there are many letters still hidden in Sean's bedroom at home, in an inconspicuous small box.
"When the snow on the top of the Alps comes into view, I can't help but admire the fatigue of the journey. The towering peaks, the dazzling snow, and the magnificent scenery made everyone who looked up in awe, and how sorry I was at this time, if my wife and children were also together, how happy and happy it would be to look at this shocking scenery......"
This is one of the countless essays he wrote to him, and in addition to that, there are quite a few poems, and his sonnets are as so-so as modern poetry and prose. In short, there is always a piece of prose or poetry in the two letters that are fixed every month, not to mention postcards from time to time.
Although he is not like another person, he and Sean are always in conflict, but he expresses his feelings in a unique way in Zuihou, but with ubiquitous details, slowly infiltrating and wrapping.
It's a real headache...... Sean finally stood up and stretched hard. In fact, many times we should be lucky, as I said before, fortunately I have a gentle and considerate mother who is good at mediating conflicts in this life, otherwise I may run away from home before I am 18 years old.
As for the unreliable, wholesome, heartless sister, well, it's hard to admit that she's somewhat helpful. But speaking of which, I don't seem to care much about the love history of my parents in this life, and I don't know how my father, who is used to being self-centered, married his mother.
With these messy thoughts, Sean returned to the villa, compared to the previous depression, his mood was much better, his mother was right, some words were indeed more comfortable.
The next day, the official Thanksgiving arrived, and although there was a lot of unpleasant quarrel at the dinner table the night before, and when the father and son met, they still tensed their faces with each other, but there was no further conflict. Even, when the head of the family divided the turkey meat at noon, as before, it seemed that he was not given much, but it was the fattest part.
"I'm really frightened, it's rare for you to come back once, your father is still so harsh, it's really undeserved, can't you say something nice?" Aunt Shirley said to Sean in private, half-complaining.
As a housekeeper who has worked in Sean's house for almost ten years, she basically watched him grow up, and naturally stood more on his side. It is precisely because of this that Aunt Shirley made a little fuss, looking at Liana, who looked like an old god was there, as if nothing had happened last night.
"Well done." She even said so.
Well, actually...... Liana and her father also had some conflicts, as could be seen from her previous visits. When she was young, her father didn't run around a lot, but he also focused most of his mind on his career, so she had the same problems as Sean.
It's just that Liana's degree is relatively much lighter, she doesn't have the kind of experience that Sean had in her previous life, she is eager for her parents and a complete family, and she is older than Sean, so even though there were many contradictions at the beginning, she has adjusted it now, and after graduating from college, she joined his restaurant group as her father wished, and is now the deputy director of the personnel department.
Not to mention this, since the atmosphere was quite harmonious, the father didn't say much - Sean was not worried that his mother would tell his father what he had said last night, and his mother knew when to say something, and maybe she would reveal a little bit, just like she had revealed her father's thoughts in front of him last night, but not completely.
Therefore, Sean also temporarily stopped, anyway, as long as his father didn't stimulate him, he wouldn't have a seizure, and he spent the rest of Thanksgiving peacefully.
Then, he was ready to leave, and the crew of "Perfect Thief" had already sent a notice that he was going to report after Thanksgiving.
"Come on, Sean, do what you want." The mother didn't hold back much, either, "Of course, it would be better if you could come back for Christmas and New Year." ”
"I will, Mom, if ......" Standing in front of the Mercedes that was parked in the vestibule and deliberately drove over, Sean looked up at the second floor, and there was a lot of shadow, not sure if anyone was standing there.
He didn't finish, but he knew that his mother must have understood, so he hugged her again, and hugged his sister and Aunt Shirley, and then got in the car and left.
The market value of my father's restaurant group is about two or three billion, right? However, his father, who served as the CEO, did not have many shares, and he was diluted out of financing again and again on the way to start a business.
Therefore, even if his net worth is hundreds of millions, he has a considerable status in San Francisco, but he is still far from the top rich. So...... In the future, as long as I surpass him in this regard, then I don't need to say anything.
When the thought in his mind turned to this, Sean's hand gripping the steering wheel couldn't help but tighten. Wait to throw in the towel! Victory is mine! Sure, this can be a bit of a win-win, but so what? Luck is also a form of strength!
Moreover, I will be the most haode actor, the most famous and respected actor, I swear!
