Chapter 30: The Mother-Child Agreement
"Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" Bai Yaolong picked up the phone again and asked.
"Hey, is it Yaolong? It's me, your mother! ”
Bai Yaolong didn't expect his mother to call, speaking of which, he was either not worrying about Xu Wenmin's affairs during this time, or he was studying seriously, but he forgot to call his parents, which really confirmed the old saying, having a daughter-in-law and forgetting his mother, not to mention that he is still a single dog, it is also a sin to forget his mother before he has a daughter-in-law.
He was still very happy when he received the call from his mother, and said, "Mom, it's me, what's wrong?" ”
When his mother heard this, she was unhappy and said, "No, can't I call you and ask about your situation?" How have you been? ”
"It's good, are you and Dad okay?" Bai Yaolong said with a smile.
Zeng Hui didn't expect him to ask himself and her husband's body so sensibly, and said with some relief: "You seem to have changed as your second uncle said, as if you have changed into a person, you actually know that you care about me and your father, and I used to talk to you like I wanted your life." Tell my mom why it has changed so much. ”
Bai Yaolong was a little embarrassed, he was in a rebellious period when he was in junior high school, and his personality was originally a straightforward person, where could he stand his mother's nagging.
And for his father's character of fighting if he disagrees, he and he are simply repulsive of the same sex, and it is estimated that his father will start to do it after a few words, in this case, where is he willing to pay attention to them at that time.
Now that I think about it, I really do a lot of bastard things, and I feel guilty that I was young and ignorant, so I feel even more precious when I hear my mother's gentle words.
"I didn't wake up before, such a big thing happened this time, if I don't cherish this opportunity to be reborn, wouldn't it be in vain to be a son of man, don't worry about me, I really woke up this time, I must be a new person, study hard, and strive to return to Yuqing for the high school entrance examination."
I would have heard him say this, combined with the feedback given to her by the second uncle, she could really feel that her son had changed, although she didn't know what power could make a person subvert the phrase "the country is easy to change and difficult to change" in less than two weeks, but she was also happy for her son's change of heart.
"Mom, why don't you speak? Wait, Mom, are you crying, did I say something wrong again? After Bai Yaolong finished speaking, there was no sound on the phone for a long time, only the voice of Suosuo, which seemed to be the sound of his mother crying.
He guessed correctly, it was indeed Zenghui's cry, but it was not crying because of sadness, but crying with joy.
People who have not been mothers can't understand the expectations of their son Jackie Chan, and people who haven't been mothers of bad children can't appreciate the preciousness of the prodigal son's return, so when she heard her son's sensible reply, she cried out with feeling, and said after a while: "I'm fine, you're sensible, I'm happy!" ”
Bai Yaolong's heart trembled slightly, he didn't know how much shadow he left on his parents when he was an adolescent, just his insignificant words could make his mother happy like this, and he was quite self-reproachful.
At this time, his father's voice also came from the side, and he could hear his father's comforting voice beside him, and he kept saying, Dad, comfort Mom, don't cry and break your body.
The microphone over there seemed to be taken over by his father, and a calm male voice said: "Hey, Yaolong, I'm your father, I'll tell you, the prodigal son will not change his money, I hope you will do what you say, accept the transformation over there, start anew, don't make trouble like before, don't hear it." ”
Bai Yaolong knew his father's temper, but how awkward it sounded to this "accept transformation and be a new person", he had to shake his head helplessly: "Dad, don't worry about it, I can swear to God, everything I say is serious, really don't worry." ”
"Okay, your second uncle and aunt also said that you behaved very well, said that you are small but very sensible, behave well, continue to maintain, understand?"
His father praised him, but his tone sounded like he was criticizing him, and Bai Yaolong also knew that his father was the head of the family who was in charge of life and death, so he couldn't be surprised, so he could only nod his head again and again like a subordinate employee facing the leader.
The father admonished a few more words, and then taught the phone to the mother, who continued to say on the phone: "You take good care of yourself over there, although the weather is hot now, don't catch a cold, do you hear?" ”
"Got it, Mom!"
"Okay, we're just calling to ask you about the situation, remember to study hard, and ask the teacher more when you don't understand, that's it, we're hanging, ah!" Zeng Hui was a little happy, but just as she was about to hang up, Bai Yaolong shouted, "Mom, you wait!" ”
"What's wrong, what's the matter?"
"Mom, that's... Is Dad still there? ”
Zeng Hui was a little puzzled when he heard this, but then said: "Your dad went to the kitchen, what's the matter, do you still have something to look for him?" ”
"No, no, Mom, that's... There's something I'd like to talk to you about. Bai Yaolong was a little entangled, not knowing whether to speak or not.
"Well, you name it!"
But in the end, he didn't care about being ashamed, so he still mustered up the courage and said, "Mom, can you lend me a little money." ”
Hearing this, Zeng Hui was a little uneasy, thinking that his son was in trouble again, and immediately said nervously: "Borrow money, what do you want money for, have you spent all your living expenses?" ”
"No, I still have a few hundred living expenses, and I need money for other things." Bai Yaolong said.
"Then what do you want money for, do you want to buy clothes and pants?" Zeng Hui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his son had started to eat and drink with fox friends and dog friends again and ran out of money.
"No, Mom, listen to me, that's the case, there is a classmate in our class whose mother is sick, and her family is very poor, so I want to donate some money to her family, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't realize the importance of studying now, so I want to help her." Bai Yaolong had no choice but to pick up the most important learning from his parents to be a banner, so as to increase his bargaining weight.
Apparently unconvinced, he said, "What you said is true? ”
"Really, if you don't believe it, you can let the second uncle ask our head teacher!" Bai Yaolong knew that his credibility was too low at this time, and in desperation, he had to bring out the second uncle and the head teacher.
But he wasn't afraid that his mother would really ask, after all, there was such a thing.
When he said this, Zeng Hui believed most of it, and felt that his son had indeed changed, and the donation was also a caring thing, which was also good for eliminating his son's anger, so he promised: "I support, let's say, how much does it cost?" ”
"I.. Ten thousand! Saying this number, Bai Yaolong's own tongue was trembling, but he could only speak hard.
"Xiaolong, how much do you say? Ten thousand? There was a sound of surprise, but it was also Bai Yaolong's expectation, 10,000 yuan was almost a year's income for many people at this time, and even for many rural families, a family of three couldn't earn so much in a year.
"Mom, don't get excited, her mother has cirrhosis of the liver, it's useless if there is less money, and she really needs a lot of money to treat the disease." Bai Yaolong could only let go and confess leniency to his mother, otherwise there would be no way to explain the reason why he wanted so much money.
Regarding the matter of asking for money, Bai Yaolong also made a decision after struggling for a long time, because curing a disease is like saving people, which is not only saving Xu Wenmin's mother's life, but also saving Xu Wenmin's life in disguise, so can he not be in a hurry.
And now he really has no good way, this matter is more than a day and a little dangerous, and in desperation, he has to choose to open his mouth to his parents, thinking about this, Bai Yaolong also lamented in his heart, why don't he have the domineering spirit of those traversers in the novel, and someone will send money when he stands there...
But after she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, her mother said: "Xiaolong, it's a good thing that you have love, but you have to understand that people are sick every day in this world, although we have a little money at home, but we are not a savior, if this family is 10,000 today, and another family is 10,000 every day, we are not enough to spend even if we are scattered wealth boys." ”
She paused again, and then continued: "And our money is not blown by the wind, do you know what time your father arrived home last night to cope with the fire inspection?" We work so hard to earn money, of course, it is left for you to spend, but we don't want you to squander it at will, do you understand? ”
Bai Yaolong was embarrassed by his mother's words, his mother was the most doting person for him in his previous life, because of her doting, he was always a little debauched, and because of her doting, he could always make some non-sensitive requirements, even if he was in his thirties now, the habit in his bones had not changed much, but he also knew that his mother doted on him, not an outsider like Xu Wenmin.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I know, I shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request." For fear that his mother's heart would ripple again, he added, "Don't worry, I really don't plan to spend this money indiscriminately, I really want to help my classmate." ”
After he finished speaking, his mother was silent again for a while, but did not hang up the phone, but continued to say to him: "What is the name of your classmate, male and female?" ”
Bai Yaolong didn't understand what his mother meant, but seeing her ask, it showed that she might still have the willingness to invest, so she immediately added fuel and vinegar and replied: "Her name is Xu Wenmin, the female, is our class leader, and her grades are super good, but her mother has this disease, she may have to drop out of school to work!" ”
"Sure enough..."There was a word on the phone, Bai Yaolong didn't know what his mother meant when she said the word "Sure enough", and he didn't speak, and his mother continued: "I can give you the money, but there is a condition, you have to do it, I will give you the money, if you can't do it, do you want to do it." ”
Bai Yaolong didn't know why the peak turned around, but when he saw that his mother was willing to give money, of course a hundred were willing, so he hurriedly agreed: "You said, Mom, it's no problem for me to wash dishes and mop the floor and beat my back for a year!" ”
Zeng Hui ignored his oily tone, but said: "Your second uncle said that you didn't study seriously before, so the foundation of some courses is very poor, and you are all self-studying, he said that it is a good thing that you are willing to study by yourself, but now it is the third year of junior high school, where is the time, so I persuade us to pay some make-up fees to the school teacher, and open a small stove to make up the class, originally we all planned to go to your school next week to have dinner with your teacher to talk about this, but now I think about it, there is no better candidate." ”
"Mom, you don't want to..."Bai Yaolong guessed her mother's mind a little.
Zeng Hui nodded at the other end, and then said: "Yes, I said how did you change your sex and love learning, it turned out that someone brought it, since she took you so well, then let her continue to take you, so as not to drop out of school, and you are not interested in learning." ”
Bai Yaolong understood what his mother meant on the other end of the phone, and just as he wanted to speak, his mother continued: "You and your classmate, let's have dinner together at noon next Sunday, she will be your tutor, and I will pay her, which can be regarded as a business." ”
If someone else heard this, they would probably be stunned, but Bai Yaolong was not surprised that his mother made such a decision, as he got older and older, he understood more and more how powerful his mother was, that was really a strong woman.
Why do you say that, because if the inheritance of his family in his previous life can be compared to a dynasty, then it can be said unceremoniously that his father is the founder of this dynasty, and his mother is the out-and-out guardian of this dynasty.
The so-called "it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country", in fact, it is the same in business, my father seems to have created such a big family business, but in fact, it is just to catch up with the golden period of the 90s, it is not difficult to start a business at this time, as long as you dare to do it, you can basically make money.
But Huaxia is notoriously competitive, and it is not easy to hold on to such a Red Sea market.
Not to mention that now with the support of her father, her mother is already managing the affairs of several stores, let's just say that after the death of her father in later generations, she supported such a big family business without failing, and even continued to grow, it can be seen that her mother is a great strong woman.
And the secret of her success is actually one, and then talk about business and only look at the results without looking at the guidance, that is, not to be bound by the sensuality that women often have, not to care about the process, but to pursue the greatest and most perfect results.
This is also the reason why when she talked about money with Bai Yaolong, she didn't look like a mother.
I have to say that some women are naturally stronger than men, but as a mother, she hides this very well with "love".
Although he guessed it, Bai Yaolong was still impressed by his mother's flexible and informal style of acting, and was a little stunned, and his mother saw that he didn't say anything, thinking that he was unwilling, so he continued: "What? Can't figure it out? ”
Where did Bai Yaolong dare to snub this negotiator and the God of Wealth, and immediately replied: "It can be done, it can be done!" ”
"Okay, then you go to a better restaurant on Sunday, and tell me in advance when the time comes, and I will drive directly to the restaurant at 12 noon to find you."
Zeng Hui didn't realize that he had entered that kind of strong woman mode, and the words he said were simply unquestionable.
