Chapter 161: Father's Love
Qu Xiaoman glanced at her and sighed: "My mother wants me to enter her studio, but I want to learn photography." Actually, you don't know, I like to take pictures since I was a child. I have a special inspiration for both composition and lighting. But my mom didn't want to, saying that photography could make a lot of money. But I feel like I love it, and whatever I can earn, I'll be satisfied. ”
"You like photography?" Qu Xiaotang was also surprised, she had never heard that Qu Xiaoman liked photography, and this was the first time she had heard it from her mouth.
Qu Xiaoman nodded: "For photography, I have always had a dream. It is to be able to go to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland one day and record all kinds of different beautiful scenery. When the time comes, I will open a photography exhibition and show all my hard work, so that everyone can see my excellence. ”
"I think it's good that you have such thoughts, Xiaoman, in fact, to be honest, you are still young, and it is a good time to pursue your dreams. If you like something, you have to be brave enough to chase it, otherwise you will find that life is boring and boring and there is no fun. By that time, it's too late for you to regret it. Although your parents are also for your good, I think that since you like it and are still the age to chase your dreams, you should love and chase your dreams unbridledly. Qu Xiaotang persuaded.
"I knew that as long as I told you, you would definitely support me. But on my parents' side, I guess I'll have to talk to them properly. But when they agreed, I immediately took my equipment and went to Yunshi to take a few photos. Qu Xiaoman muttered to herself.
Qu Xiaotang frowned: "Cloud City? ”
"Yes, the mountains in Yunshi are particularly beautiful. Qu Xiaotang, if you want to see it then, I will take a few sets of photos and come back for you to enjoy. Qu Xiaoman said proudly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Qu Xiaotang smiled and patted Qu Xiaoman's shoulder.
The two talked for a while, and Qu Xiaotang left first.
After being busy for most of the day, I was hungry.
Qu Xiaotang came to the kitchen and wanted to make a bowl of noodles for himself. Suddenly I remembered that it seemed that I hadn't eaten noodles for a long time, and I was about to forget all about what to do.
"Xiaotang." Qu Youqi walked in.
"Dad, why are you here?" Qu Xiaotang was surprised, at this time, shouldn't Qu Weiqi be in the company?
Qu Youqi took out a pack of noodles and Qu Xiaotang's favorite tomatoes, opened the pot and began to cook. Qu Xiaotang looked at his skillful movements, and had many doubts in his heart.
I have the impression that my father doesn't seem to know how to cook.
From childhood to adulthood, she and Xie Jingshuo's meals were almost all taken care of by their mother Liu Yongli, or they made them themselves.
"Dad, do you know how to cook noodles?" Qu Xiaotang thought about it, but still asked.
"Yes, naturally, the conditions at home were not so good, and your mother was pregnant with you, so I learned a few dishes from me. Over the years, I have rarely gone into the kitchen, but the smells in my memory are still engraved in my mind all the time, and they have not changed. Qu said with a smile.
Qu Xiaotang nodded thoughtfully: "I thought my father couldn't cook." ”
"It's also my fault. Xiaotang, for so many years, Dad has been busy with things at home and work, and he really has invested too little energy in you and Jing Shuo. I have always felt that I played the role of a good son, a good brother, a good husband, and a good boss, but I didn't want to be a good father. Qu Yuqi picked up the noodles and said to Qu Xiaotang.
Qu Xiaotang's eyes slowly reddened: "Since I was a child, I have indeed seen your father too few times." Sometimes, I wonder if my dad doesn't like me and doesn't want to see me. Otherwise, why is it that every time I need my father, he is busy with a lot of things every day except for a straight face on me. Whenever I think about it, I feel very aggrieved. ”
"Xiaotang," Qu Youqi poured the noodles into the bowl, "Dad has been sorry for you for so many years, and the only person who is sorry for you is you." I don't know anything, I don't know how to bring happiness to a child. So much so that in the end, I can only become like this, making you farther and farther away from me. But Dad didn't hate you in his heart, Dad was just thinking about what to do to bring the best happiness to your hands. ”
"Dad...... I feel very happy now, I have eaten the noodles that my father made for me, and we live together as a family, which is very satisfying. Qu Xiaotang said with tears in his eyes.
Qu Weiqi shook his head: "But I want to give you more and better, Xiaotang, I owe you too much over the years." You see, after so many years, you have grown so big, and I should be old too. If I could do it all over again, even if I didn't have to do that much work, I would still be with my baby daughter every day. As long as she can be happy, it will be the happiest thing in the world for me. ”
"I'm very happy, I really ......," Qu Xiaotang choked up.
"Xiaotang, no matter what you will choose in the future, no matter what you will do in the future, Dad only hopes that you can do what you like to do, be happy every day, and be happy for a lifetime. Dad doesn't have any big wishes, as long as you can be well, I'm very satisfied. Qu said worriedly.
Qu Xiaotang pursed his lips: "Dad, I know, I will be happy, you can rest assured." I've grown up and I'm going to be happy. ”
"Okay, then Dad will go back to the room first. Remember to eat the noodles and don't starve yourself. If there's something you want to say to your dad, come to him. Xiaotang, you will always be my parents' favorite daughter, and you will always be my pride. After Qu Weiqi finished speaking, he stepped out of the kitchen.
Looking at the back of Qu Yuqi leaving, Qu Xiaotang covered his mouth and cried in a trembling voice.
All along, how she wanted her father's approval.
When he was young, his father was not smiling, and no matter how hard she tried, he still couldn't satisfy him. She thought she was very bad, so she tried her best to do a good job, so that she could make her father recognize her.
On this road, she went farther and farther, but no one was willing to ask her if she was tired.
After so many years, she thought that she would never be able to hear her father's sincere words in her life. But today, my father told him that she had always been his pride.
It's not that my father doesn't care about himself, he is the pillar of their family, and he has more responsibilities to shoulder.
It's been so long, and he just can't find a way to say to himself, you're always the best.
Qu Xiaotang cried, trembling and fell to his knees. She clutched her chest and looked out the window with teary eyes, it turned out that it was a beautiful thing to be recognized by her father.
Thankfully, she got it today.
She will cherish it even more.
Outside the door, Qu Weiqi leaned against the corner with tears in his eyes, listening to Qu Xiaotang's heart-rending cry inside, he couldn't help but cry in the end.
