Chapter 104: Dark Childhood

On Saturday morning, Yu Duoduo put on his newly bought dress, simply rubbed setting powder, wiped lip gloss, tied his hair into a ponytail, and walked out of the house with his mother refreshingly.

When Director Lu saw Yu Duoduo, he was naturally complimented.

He led the mother and daughter into the Tianshun Jincheng community.

Yu Duoduo only knew that it had been eight years since Tianshun Jincheng was built. He Ping knew that this was the most expensive community in Liaocheng that year, which raised the housing prices in Liaocheng by a notch.

Director Zhu's wife, Jiang Nan, opened the door and warmly invited everyone to enter.

He Ping saw Jiang Nan wearing a classic Burberry checked shirt dress, although he was in his fifties, he didn't look like he was in his forties, and he knew that this future mother was not simple.

As soon as Yu Duoduo entered the door, he began to pay attention to the corners of the Zhu family, but He Ping's eyes fell on a box of yellow cranes on the coffee table.

Director Zhu and his son walked out of the study together.

Director Lu gave an introduction to everyone.

Yu Duoduo saw Zhu Tianming wearing half-framed black metal glasses, and smiled lightly, revealing a bookish atmosphere. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke standard Mandarin without the stiffness of a Northeast accent.

Yu Duoduo was secretly glad that he finally met a good cabbage.

Zhu Tianming poured tea for everyone, although Yu Duoduo didn't know much about tea, he could smell the mellow aroma of tea, and he could be sure that this tea was not cheap.

Jiang Nan invited everyone to eat fruit, and Yu Duoduo didn't want to make himself look restrained, so he naturally took the peach that Jiang Nan handed her and ate it.

He Ping chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this kid couldn't tell a word.

After everyone's greetings. Jiang Nan asked Duoduo: "I heard that you work in an advertising company, are you usually busy with work?" ”

Yu Duoduo smiled: "It's okay." It takes two days to close the bill at the end of the month and file the tax return at the beginning of the month, and usually make a budget quotation for the plan issued by the design department. ”

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "It's good not to be busy, don't put too much pressure on girls." ”

Director Zhu put up an official tone: "Young people should focus on their careers, I will tell Tianming, your mother and I will do a good job of backing you, and we will be responsible for the education of your children in the future, you can devote yourself to your work and make a career, and don't let yourself regret wasting your time when you are old in the future." ”

Yu Duoduo smiled, and naturally glanced at Zhu Tianming, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Zhu Tianming held the teacup and slowly tasted the tea.

He Ping glanced at Zhu Tianming's slender fingers, and could be sure that this child had not done housework.

Director Lu said: "Lao Zhu is very ambitious, he was the class leader when he was in school, and now he is the head of the government, and he has managed me all my life. ”

Jiang Nan smiled: "He, he's so focused on work, he can't count on things at home." I don't want my son to be like him, I think it's more important for the couple to have a good life than anything else. ”

Zhu Tianming was still sipping tea, as if his parents were discussing someone else's child.

He Ping smiled and nodded, not making any comments.

Director Lu said to Zhu Tianming: "Tianming, don't sit with a few of us old guys, take Duoduo to the study, and you young people will talk about it by yourself." ”

Zhu Tianming put down the teacup and said to Duoduo: "Go to the study and sit down." ”

Jiang Nan said, "Tianming, take this plate of pistachios to the study, and you peel more pistachios." ”

Yu Duoduo took out two paper towels from the paper drawer, wrapped the peach pits in his hand and put them in the ashtray.

Yu Duoduo and Zhu Tianming walked into the study together, and she saw that the study was decorated in Chinese style, and there was a good "History of Yundong Yishi" hanging on the wall.

Yu Duoduo's eyes couldn't see what was written on the letter, and she couldn't understand the red seal.

When she saw that there was still rice paper and pen and ink on the writing desk, she asked, "Are you practicing calligraphy?" ”

Zhu Tianming smiled, "My dad usually likes to practice calligraphy. ”

Yu Duoduo sneered: "Your childhood was very stressful, right?!" ”

"Fortunately, I only learned piano and calligraphy, and I heard that you are in decline like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Yu Duoduo waved his hand and said shyly: "Don't mention my dark childhood. ”

Zhu Tianming raised his eyebrows: "Darkness? ”

Yu Duoduo breathed a long sigh of relief, "As soon as I have a holiday, I have to run to various cram schools, my mother and grandma are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, but I am all-weather." At the end of the day, my dance teacher said that I was boxing, and my sanda instructor yelled at me, "Are you dancing there?!" ”

Zhu Tianming was amused by Yu Duoduo, "What about the end? Have you fused the two together? ”

"No, in the end, I broke my foot and was lame for three months, and my grandmother's heart softened and I gave up both."

"When you say that, it's kind of like a bitter ploy."

Yu Duoduo shook his head hurriedly, "I'm afraid of pain, so I can't do anything about myself." ”

Zhu Tianming asked Duoduo: "Do you want to practice calligraphy?" ”

"I'd better not be ugly."

"I heard you've won an award."

Yu Duoduo was even more shy: "Director Lu told you that, right?" I was a child, and I'm still a child. ”

This matter was really not told to Zhu Tianming by Director Lu, but found out when Director Zhu checked Yu Duoduo's files, and it was also this that made Director Zhu very optimistic about Yu Duoduo.

Zhu Tianming smiled, "What do you really like?" ”

"The guitar, I bought it myself with the New Year's money."

"I bought it myself, so I like it?"

Yu Duoduo said quietly: "No one watched me practice, I can practice my favorite tunes as I want, without having to deal with exams or competitions." ”

Zhu Tianming looked at Yu Duoduo, and a trace of sympathy rose in his heart, "Will you let your child learn these things?" ”

"I'll let him choose for himself and choose what he likes."

Zhu Tianming picked up the brush on the pen stand, "Didn't your mother ask you if you liked it back then?" ”

"I asked, I liked to learn at the time, but when I was forced to practice every day, I didn't like it."

"Children are inert, and if they are not forced, few can persevere."

Zhu Tianming said, writing on rice paper, "Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved"

Yu Duoduo looked at these eight big characters and wanted to praise two sentences, but felt that simple praise seemed too vulgar.

She asked, "Can you give me this word?" ”

Zhu Tianming was a little embarrassed, "I wrote it casually, how embarrassed to send it to you." ”

Yu Duoduo was rejected, and his cheeks involuntarily turned red, "You are too modest, aren't you?" ”

Zhu Tianming also realized that it was not good for him to refuse Yu Duoduo like this.

He smiled, "If you like it, I'll give you a framed one." ”

Yu Duoduo asked Zhu Tianming for words, just to express that he admired Zhu Tianming's words, and to find a place to put them when she took them back, she saw that Zhu Tianming knew him so well, so she naturally had to show a happy look, "That's really good, but it's ......"
