Chapter 172: Family Affairs
At night.
Chen Su, who had been busy all day, came home and vaguely heard the sound of small words coming from the living room.
When I walked over, I saw my son watching TV.
Under normal circumstances, he would either be in his room, or he would not be at home, let alone watch TV, or even spend less time in the living room.
"Xiao Yu, why do you have time to watch TV today, is there something wrong?"
Li Yu looked at Chen Su, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Mom, I wrote you a letter and put it on the head of the bed in your room, I hope you can take a look." ”
"Letter?"
Chen Su inexplicably remembered that when she was in kindergarten, Li Yu went home to wash her feet.
"Is it the school's mission? In high school, you still have all these bells and whistles? ”
"No, I have a few words to say to you."
"Then why don't you say it to your face? Or did you get into trouble at school? ”
"Oops! Don't think about it! ”
Li Yu turned off the TV, got up and walked behind Chen Su, and pushed her to the top of the stairs.
"Instead of asking questions here, it's better to go up and have a look!"
Chen Su turned his head, glanced at Li Yu suspiciously, didn't ask any more, and gradually walked upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Su found that there was an extra piece of letter paper on the bedside table.
It took about two minutes for her to read the letter in its entirety.
probably means that Li Yu has arrived in spring, has fallen in love with other girls, wants to chase others, and hopes that her mother, she can do a favor and test Li Ruijin's opinion.
Chen Su was not surprised by this, and she saw the clues in the last parent-teacher conference.
With Li Yu's autistic personality, he can have a friendly conversation with girls, and nine times out of ten he is beating people's ideas.
What Chen Su didn't expect was that he could take the initiative to talk to him about his thoughts, even if it was only in writing, which was much better than if he didn't communicate before.
Chen Su sighed for a while, and then began to think about what would happen if Li Ruijin knew that his son's spring heart was budding.
"It's not easy."
Living room.
Li Yu sat on the sofa, holding his mobile phone in both hands, his thumb kept swiping aimlessly on the screen, and looked up at the stairs from time to time.
"It's been so long, why haven't you come down?"
Just when he couldn't wait to think about whether to go upstairs, Chen Su slowly walked down from the second floor.
Li Yu immediately stood up, but remembered the famous saying "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", and sat back in his place.
He suppressed his nervousness and pretended to be calm and asked, "Mom, what do you say, do you think there is a play?" ”
Chen Su sat next to Li Yu and did not answer his question directly.
"Before I do that, let me ask you how far you and that girl have developed?"
"We ......"
Li Yu was a little embarrassed, but thinking of what Lu You had said, he still told the truth.
"I confessed to her."
"She accepted?"
"Not quite acceptable. She said that after the college entrance examination, let me confess again. ”
Chen Su didn't continue to ask, thinking quietly.
After a while, she spoke: "Li Yu, I'll tell you the truth." It's good that you're not together, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you. ”
"Why, didn't Daddy listen to you?"
"He's just on the inconsequential details and can listen to me. But once it's about his bottom line, I can't help it.
Especially if you want to fall in love now, he will never give in. Even college isn't necessarily possible. ”
Li Yu gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, and the dissatisfaction with Li Ruijin in his heart grew wildly, but then a sense of powerlessness swelled up.
It is true that he is a rich second generation, but he is not like that, he can rely on his mother's doting and act recklessly.
On the contrary, under the strict family education, Li Yu simply did not have the courage and strength to resist Li Ruijin.
"Mom, doesn't my dad hate me?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why, he always demands from me and never cares about me?"
This sentence directly stung Chen Su's heart.
Only then did she realize that there seemed to be some kind of deviation in her and Li Ruijin's education methods.
"Xiaoyu, you give your mother a little time, and I'll have a good talk with your father."
Li Yu took a deep breath, and his expression gradually returned to calm.
"Whatever, I don't care."
After saying that, he picked up the phone on the desktop, got up and left.
……
The time came to half past nine in the evening.
Lu You simply packed his luggage. He is a boy, and he doesn't have many things to bring with him when he travels, so he only has an umbrella, three sets of clothes, some electronic devices and necessary documents, and one backpack can fit them all.
Lu You picked up the backpack and walked up to the first floor, just in time to see Shen Yuyin leading Lu Jingshu down.
"Son, are you packed?"
"Well, it's all done."
Lu You saw that Shen Yuyin didn't bring anything, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, where is your luggage?" ”
"It was airlifted a few days ago, and I asked you if you wanted to go with me, but you said no."
Lu You recalled, really!
"Alright, don't be here, your dad is waiting outside."
"Okay."
Lu You picked up Lu Jingshu, who had been looking at him with a small face, and walked towards the entrance.
Shen Yuyin said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you spoil her so much, don't you let her go two steps?" ”
"It's okay"
Lu You touched Lu Jingshu's soft black hair, and said with a smile: "Children grow up fast, and they can only be petted in the past few years." And the devil knows if she will dislike me in the future? If you don't pet now, you won't have a chance in the future. ”
"I'm afraid she'll develop bad habits."
"Don't worry, I'll teach her well."
Lu You turned his head to Lu Jingshu and said, "Xiaoshu will listen to her brother, right?" ”
Lu Jingshu's head couldn't handle their conversation, but she still nodded and responded, "Yes!" ”
When the family arrived at the airport, it was already eleven o'clock.
Lu You unbuckled the seat belt of the child safety seat and carefully transferred the sleeping Lu Jingshu to the trolley.
Then he stepped aside and let Lu Jianyan take over, while he picked up his schoolbag, took out his mobile phone, followed behind him, and lowered his head to send a VX message.
The purpose of their trip was the Eagle Country, and they would probably need to fly in the sky for more than ten or twenty hours, and they would have to change planes on the way.
For such a long time, it's best to say hello to your girlfriend in advance, so that she won't be in a hurry because she can't contact her.
Ly: Dear Tang Wan, are you here?
Ly: Are you asleep?
Until the whole family completed the check-in procedures, Lu You did not receive a reply.
"Looks like I'm sleeping very deeply."
Lu You then took a photo of the plane outside the glass window and sent it over.
Ly: Picture .jpg
Ly: I'm ready to go.
Ly: Conservatively, you'll not be able to reach me for a long time.
Ly: I'll send you pictures when it's time for the place.
Ly: Momda
Lu You stared at the last three words, and the more he looked at it, the more disgusted he became, so he silently clicked withdraw.
……
On the other side, the Li family.
The husband and wife leaned their backs against the head of the bed and each swiped their mobile phones.
Li Ruijin glanced at the time and took off his reading glasses.
"Asu, it's almost twelve o'clock, don't look at it, go to bed early."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to turn off the light, but was stopped by Chen Su.
"Wait a minute, I have something important to discuss with you."
Li Ruijin remembered the bad things in the past, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Then the whole person came to Chen Su and looked left and right, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
"Is there something wrong with your body again? Have you been to the hospital? Why didn't I receive the message? Do you want me to call a doctor for you now? ”
"Don't worry."
Chen Su held Li Ruijin's rough big hand, gently patted the back of his hand twice, and said softly: "I am in good health, and there is no problem with me." ”
"It's okay, so what important thing are you going to say?"
"What I'm going to say is about my son."
"Xiao Yu? What happened to him? Did the grades drop? ”
Hearing this, Chen Su felt very uncomfortable.
"Opening and closing your mouth is your achievement, and you don't even ask about his physical condition and mental health?"
Li Ruijin's eyes flickered. Li Yu's physical condition is clear to him, after all, there are people who have arranged for Chunhua to help watch it.
If something goes wrong with his body, he will be the first to receive the message.
"You mean, Xiao Yu's psychology is not normal?"
"It's not normal yet, but I'm afraid that if I continue to follow your education method, it won't be far away."
"What does this have to do with the way of education?"
"Then I'll ask you."
Chen Su turned around and looked at Li Ruijin's eyes, his expression serious and serious.
"When a child asks, 'Do parents hate him?' is the child's thinking inappropriate, or is the parent's education wrong?"
Li Ruijin subconsciously replied: "It must be that the parents' education is incorrect and does not make the children feel the care they deserve." ”
"If you know so well, why do you let your child ask this question?"
"I ......"
Li Ruijin opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"Just now, Xiao Yu asked me personally, why do you always have requirements for him, but you never care about him. I don't even know how to answer. ”
The more Chen Su spoke, the more emotional he became, and his tone gradually brought complaints and reprimands.
"As far as I can see, what you tell your son is always standards and grades, and nothing else.
You haven't asked if he's in good health, you haven't known what he likes, and you don't even care about his birthday.
Tell you to have a good talk with him, pull in the relationship, and you will push back. Li Ruijin, do you have any opinions about me, don't dare to tell me face to face, so you secretly vent it on him? ”
Li Ruijin hurriedly denied it.
"No, absolutely not! You don't know what I do to you on weekdays? How is it possible to have an opinion about you? ”
Although Li Ruijin did not treat Chen Su like Lu Jianyan favored Shen Yuyin, as long as he did not violate the bottom line, he could be regarded as responsive and did not have the slightest grievance.
"Moreover, Xiao Yu is also my son, I can't vent my emotions on him."
"Then tell me what is the reason for the relationship between yourself and your son to be so stiff."
Li Ruijin was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Ah Su, I don't know if you have forgotten, what was it like before we gave birth to Xiaoyu?" ”
"I didn't forget. How could we have forgotten that we had walked together. ”
Li Ruijin opened the bedside table, and after rummaging for a while, he took out an old photo.
The yellowed photograph shows two young men, a man and a woman, standing side by side, with a small, dilapidated bungalow behind them.
"At that time, it was really difficult, I had nothing but you, and sometimes I had to rely on your little salary to survive."
When Chen Su saw Li Ruijin's appearance, he probably guessed what he was thinking.
"So you persecuted him like this, just so that he could start from scratch like you did?
"Not exactly. My fundamental purpose is to hope that he can become a capable person. Even without us behind him, he could have lived comfortably."
"But have you ever thought that this time is different from the past, and the family environment in which your son and you live is also different. Your father is not capable of supporting you, but you are stronger than your father, and you have created a big business by yourself.
It is completely possible to give your son better conditions and educate him in a more correct way, and there is no need to use your father's previous way. ”
At this time, a terrible guess flashed through Chen Su's mind.
"Wait, don't you think that Xiao Yu's good grades are due to your education?"
"Isn't it?"
Li Ruijin didn't realize his mistake at all, and even said confidently: "If he can stabilize the top ten in the grade, it means that my method is fine." ”
Chen Su was angry on the spot, and for the first time, she found out that her husband still had a cheeky side.
"Where do you have the face to put gold on yourself? If Xiao Yu hadn't known the kid of the Lu family and was affected by their family's fine atmosphere, she would have gone the wrong way a long time ago! ”
"Not really, right? When my dad did this to me, didn't I succeed? ”
"I said times are different! It's still here! The original! ”
Chen Su was so angry that he kicked Li Ruijin twice in the quilt.
"Li Ruijin, do you remember what you said?"
"Which one?"
"You told me that the person you hate the most is your dad. Practicing strict fathers and mothers at home every day is actually just to cover up their own incompetence. ”
The memory of being abandoned by Li Ruijin in an unknown corner resurfaced in his mind.
[Ah Su, I look down on my dad's kind of person the most. All day long will only curse. said that it was to educate his children, but it was just to maintain his little bit of thin face. 】
[Asu, if we have a son in the future, I will definitely not be a person like my father. I want to treat him well and make him feel the love from his father. 】
"Looks like you remember?"
Li Ruijin didn't say a word, and took it as a tacit acquiescence.
"In the end, the money was earned, and I gave birth to a son, but you became the person you hate the most, aren't you ashamed?"
"I'm still different from my father, at least I really care about Xiaoyu."
"How do you care about the Fa? Find someone to keep an eye on him, and ignore him as long as nothing happens? Don't you think this kind of care is very perfunctory and selfish? ”
Li Ruijin was completely speechless. Although from his own point of view, his approach was to promote Li Yu's self-independence. But the real effect was beyond his imagination.
Chen Su didn't say much anymore, she had told all the truths, whether she figured it out or not depends on the individual, and she couldn't let Li Rui go in to change.
"Think about it yourself, I'm sleepy."
Chen Su turned off the lamp and retracted into the quilt.
In the dark, Li Ruijin sat on the bed and quietly fell into thought.
Worship God every year, it's annoying!
