Chapter 32: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Sunday, September 18.
Today is a week since the military training. Lu You's high school life is also on the right track.
At the class meeting on Monday afternoon after his return, he successfully got rid of his status as a temporary squad leader, did not run for any class cadres, and became a free man again.
Before the Thursday afternoon cleaning, the head teacher, Mr. Zeng, rearranged their seats.
Lu You sat in the middle of the fourth row, the center of the class. The teacher thinks that putting a quiet handsome guy here can improve the overall temperament of the class, but no one knows why.
Yuan Wenliang, the little brother of the health Buddhism department, replaced Meng Yi's position and became Lu You's new tablemate. He was also a man who kept to himself and didn't talk much.
Lu You is immersed in test papers and papers on weekdays, while Yuan Wenliang likes to read some history books, the two of them sit together, basically don't talk much, and the calm and peaceful learning atmosphere they exude makes others feel that they feel sorry for them if they don't study.
On the second class, it was not surprising that the squad leader had no choice but to change to another normal boy. The seats in the class were also reassigned.
Li Yu's table has not changed, Tang Wan and Xu Nian have not separated, but they have become the front and back tables and sat on the windowsill. Li Yu happened to sit behind Xu Nian.
In this week, Tang Wan and Lu You basically didn't meet much. When Lu You went to find Li Yu for lunch and dinner, Tang Wan had already gone to the dining hall. And in the cafeteria, there are many people, and they can't see each other.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the non-rocket class had exactly half a day's rest.
Today's day is a little special, it is the Good Friday of Lu You, the mother of this world. In layman's terms, it is the birthday of the original body.
Shen Yuyin, Lu You's mother, was wearing home clothes, her hair scattered over her shoulders. He was sitting at the dining table, with one hand on his cheek, watching his son busy in the kitchen.
Mr. Lu coaxed his daughter to sleep on the second floor, lying on the sofa in the living room, squinting his eyes, and lazily basking in the sun.
"Son, why do you make your own birthday cake? Isn't it okay to order outside? Shen Yuyin didn't understand his son's behavior.
"I can do it myself, and when the interest comes, I just do it myself." Lu You said as he took out two bunches of grapes from the refrigerator.
Then put each in two glass bowls, pick each grape, put in water, add a spoonful of flour, and wash the grapes one by one.
"What are you doing today? Fruitcake? ”
"Almost, let's make mousse, the mousse has a smooth taste, I like it. But this time it's a little more complicated and add some fruit jelly. ”
As he spoke, Lu You took a pot of washed grapes, peeled them one by one, cut them in half, removed the pits, and then put them in another stainless steel bowl.
Shen Yuyin wanted to help her son, so she asked, "Son, do you need your mother's help?" ”
"No need." Lu You still bowed his head and did his own thing, "You watch two episodes of the TV series, I'm almost done." ”
"Okay." Then Shen Yuyin took out the tablet and began to chase the drama.
Lu You quickly peeled and pitted all the grapes from a pot and set them aside. Then take another pot of untreated grapes and cut them all in half. Put it in a pot, add water until the grapes are submerged, add a large piece of rock sugar, and finally light the fire.
The water in the pot gradually turned red and began to boil, and Lu You skimmed off the foam at this time and squeezed in a little lemon juice. When the red liquid began to become viscous, he used a wooden shovel to crush all the grapes, finally turned off the heat and took them out, and then filtered to remove the slag, and the grape juice was formed.
Next is the original mousse part. Lu You took out gelatin slices, yogurt, milk, and whipping cream from the refrigerator again. Soften the gelatin slices, then take hot water, melt the gelatin slices and mix them with milk by heating them in a water bath, then add them to the yogurt and stir well.
Put an appropriate amount of sugar into the whipping cream, take out the electric whisk, beat it into a viscous yogurt, and then put the yogurt paste in it and stir well, and the original mousse is also completed.
Now that the main work is done, it's time for the assembly process.
……
After working for more than an hour, Lu You put the ten cups of cake in the refrigerator, and the mission was over.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Lu You walked out of the kitchen.
Shen Yuyin heard the movement, raised his head, and saw that his son had already walked to the living room to sit and drink water.
"It's done so quickly?"
Lu You transferred Xiao Feng from the sofa to his lap, stroked the hair on its back, and said, "It's not fast, it's been more than an hour." ”
"Is there anything you want for your birthday?"
"No, I can buy whatever I want."
Shen Yuyin was stunned, "It seems to be the same." ”
Lu You suddenly thought of the throbbing in his heart during the military training, so he said, "Or, tell me about you and my dad knowing about getting married?" ”
Shen Yuyin raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Huh?" How did you come up with the idea to ask this? ”
After hesitating for a while, Lu You decided to tell the truth: "Some time ago, I had a little affection for a girl and wanted to find experience from someone who came over. ”
Shen Yuyin's mood was high, he didn't take the tablet, and came to the sofa next to Lu You and sat cross-legged.
"Isn't it? It's only been half a month since I started high school, and my heart is budding? What is a girl called? How does it look? What is the personality? ”
A series of questions made Lu You overwhelmed, "You talk about you and your dad first, and I'll talk about mine." ”
"There's not much to say about the two of us. arranged a blind date at an ordinary home, and after two or three years of getting along, they got married. ”
"No twists and turns?" Lu You felt that this was too bland. "What did you resist the family's arrangement, and you didn't run away from home?"
"What do you think? If only these people could still sit here? Shen Yuyin picked up a pillow and threw it over.
Lu You easily caught it, "Let's be more detailed, that's all, it's hard for me not to suspect that you are perfunctory to me." ”
Shen Yuyin leaned back on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and fell into memory.
"It's basically that simple. When I was eighteen years old, your grandmother said she wanted me to meet someone, and if I didn't reject it, I could try to develop it. I didn't have a favorite at the time, so I thought it wouldn't matter if I met, so I agreed. ”
"The first time we met, I was attracted to your father. You've seen him look young, right? ”
Lu You nodded, "It's really handsome, compared to what I have now." ”
"Come on." Shen Yuyin replied with a mocking, "With your height, you are still compared with my husband, he was more than one meter eight tall at that time, what do you compare?" ”
Pierced the old iron.
"After I had a good feeling, we occasionally went out on a few dates, and soon fell in love, and then when I was twenty years old, I got married."
"Is this a marriage to a son?"
"It's kind of that meaning, your father said that he was going to propose, but your arrival brought this time forward, whether there is you or not, he will propose that year, just a few months apart."
Lu You didn't eat the melon, and was a little disappointed, "I thought there would be some story of a rich daughter falling in love with a poor boy, and then beating a mandarin duck, and having no choice but to marry into a wealthy family, but that's the result?" ”
"Alright!" Shen Yuyin was not in a beautiful mood, "Let's not say that there is no such person in my social circle, do you think that without any emotional foundation, ordinary people can compare to your father?" You don't know how your grandfather and great-grandfather taught their children. ”
Lu You thinks back to the days in his hometown since he was a child, it was really an all-round development of morality, intellect and body. The older generation of the Lu family does not use any means of corporal punishment, they practice words and deeds. At the age when juniors are best at imitating, being strict with themselves will naturally be affected by the juniors.
"Don't you think this kind of relationship is too flat?"
"Isn't it good to be bland?" Shen Yuyin asked rhetorically, "Unforgettable love represents a heart-wrenching process. For me, the plain, moisturizing and silent companionship and care is the best. ”
"Alright, I'm done, it's your turn. Name, appearance, personality quickly explained. ”
Lu You knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only take a deep breath and slowly speak: "Her name is Tang Wan." It's hard for me to describe my appearance, my personality is not very clear, and I am still understanding the process. ”
"Didn't you just say a name? Nothing else. Shen Yuyin's face was unhappy, "What else is called an appearance that is difficult to describe in words?" ”
"It means that all the good words I have in mind can be applied to her."
"Hahaha......" Shen Yuyin couldn't laugh anymore, "Do you like people to this point?" ”
The corners of Lu You's mouth twitched, and he defended: "It's just a statement of personal feelings." ”
Shen Yuyin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, restrained her smile, and asked again, "Where have you progressed?" ”
"What's going on? In different classes, I have a crush on her, but I haven't liked her to the extent that I like it. ”
"That's right. Then just let it be. When your liking turns into liking, let's talk about the rest. In Shen Yuyin's opinion, the kind of thing that favorability is too weak and will easily fade.
Lu You changed the question and asked her, "When did you change from liking my dad to liking me?" ”
"I don't know." Shen Yuyin was reminded of the memory, "After going out with your father a few times, the figure of this person slowly appeared in my heart, and I began to think about it day and night, fantasizing about the scene of going out with him, and the days to come." ”
Then he turned his head to look at Lu You, "If you think of that person and laugh unconsciously, and think about her every day, it means that you like that person." ”
Lu You stroked Xiao Satie, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Mom, what do you think of my early love?" ”
"Depends on your attitude towards the relationship. If you just want to have fun on a whim, I'll drop you out of school and send you back to your grandfather. My son can have bad grades, but he definitely can't be a bad person. Shen Yuyin's eyes were sharp, and his expression was extremely serious, making Lu You's back cold.
"Of course, if you're serious and want to go to the end with her and be ready to be part of her for the rest of her life, then I'll support you."
Lu You was surprised, but she didn't expect her to say the word support.
"It's weird I'd say yes?" Shen Yuyin said with a smile.
Lu You nodded in affirmation.
"Parents oppose early love, that's because high school students have to face the college entrance examination, plus the vast majority of high school students have not faced the pressure of life, and they don't have a clear understanding of things like family responsibilities, so there is basically no good outcome in falling in love at this time."
"But our family is different. The college entrance examination is just the icing on the cake for you, no matter how good or bad your grades are, the Lu family and your grandfather's family can ensure that you have a worry-free future, provided that you are not a bad person. So, the most important thing for you is to learn how to be a person. Have a sense of responsibility, have a sense of responsibility, know how to love someone, and can do this, I will naturally support you. ”
Lu You lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Shen Yuyin looked at his son's thinking, and knew that he must not only have a good impression of that Tang Wan's girl, but he couldn't see it clearly.
When he was in junior high school, he didn't let him have too much contact with the people in that school, although on the one hand he protected him from being taken in, but it also caused him to be too unfamiliar with peer interactions, and so far he has only one friend Li Yu.
Shen Yuyin got up and walked to Lu You's side and touched his hair, "If you like it, just try to take a step, if the two of you don't move, you will only miss it." ”
"Wouldn't it offend her?"
Shen Yuyin smiled very gently, glad that his son was not a bad person, and said gently: "Don't think that reasonable requests are offensive, self-righteous thoughts, and put on the name of thinking about others, that is the biggest offense." ”
"What if it's rejected?" Lu You's confidence in mathematics seems to have disappeared now.
"I didn't try it, who knows the result?" After speaking, Shen Yuyin slapped him on the back, "Cheer up, your own appearance and temperament are your most effective weapons." Brave Youth! ”
Although he knew that his mother was cheering him up, Lu You felt a little ashamed of this.
"Alright, you should go upstairs to see Xiaoshu."
"A young man with spring, bloom yourself to your heart's content and enjoy your youth." After Shen Yuyin finished speaking, he walked happily and disappeared into the stairs.
Lu You took a few deep breaths to ease the shame in his heart. After regaining his composure, he teased the cat while thinking about what to do in the future.
