Chapter 180: The Li Family's Past
While Lu You and Tang Wan were happily enjoying the trip, they were far south.
The dimly lit room shimmered with the colorful glow of computer accessories.
And Li Yu is sitting in front of the 27-inch 2K display, wearing black headphones, and his attention is all focused on the screen.
The left hand rests on the keyboard, and the right hand holds the mouse, skillfully operating.
"Someone has passed the point in front, hurry up and draw quickly!"
"Red armor one uncle four, red armor one uncle four!"
"Help me set it up, I'll pull a phoenix!"
After 9s, a pillar of light hits, and an exclamation mark appears on the screen.
[Lift their veils]
"I'm knocking on the mud! I obviously hit this phoenix! ”
"There's no power, brother! Equinox! ”
"I'm, there's another team coming from behind!"
"I can't stand it! Explode with them! ”
"Look at my super hook!"
"It's over, it's all over!"
Immediately after, the screen turns gray and a boxy box appears on the screen.
"Hemp a chicken!"
Li Yu took off her headphones in annoyance and scratched her hair indiscriminately.
"These Bs, one by one than the other, are not coordinated! Da Pingdi and people against guns, bunkers can't be found, pure gluttony! “
"Isn't it because you're rushing too fast that your teammates can't keep up?"
"I'm called pulling the gun line, do you understand it......"
Li Yu turned his head, just to see who dared to point fingers at him.
However, when he saw Li Ruijin standing behind him with his hands on his chest, his voice stopped abruptly.
"Dad...... Why are you in my study? ”
Li Ruijin didn't answer, but looked at the computer screen and asked, "Is the game finished?" ”
"Fight, fight."
"Is there a next round?"
"Nope."
"Can you go out with me? About an afternoon. ”
Li Yu wanted to ask him why he didn't take his mother with him but followed him by himself, but he didn't dare to say it when the words came to his mouth.
"Yes, I'm free."
"Well, you change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After speaking, Li Ruijin turned around and left.
The moment he disappeared outside the door, Li Yu collapsed on the gaming chair like a deflated ball, dripping in cold sweat.
"! Scared the hell out of me! ”
He thought he was going to be scolded to the core, but he didn't expect Li Ruijin to say nothing, and even made a little joke with him.
"No, we can't let our guard down yet, maybe the cruel methods are still to come."
Li Yu imagined a lot of bad scenes for herself, and then got up and walked to the next bedroom to change clothes.
Although he didn't want to go out with his father, he had no choice, he didn't dare to resist, so he could only be obedient.
Li Ruijin walked to the living room on the first floor, sat down beside Chen Su, and silently poured himself a glass of water.
"Decided to talk to your son?"
"Hmm."
"Have you figured out what to say?"
"Probably figured it out."
Li Ruijin took a drink of water, stood up again, and said, "I'll go first, and I'll take you out tonight." ”
"Well, be careful on the road."
……
Ten minutes later.
Li Yu changed into a serious little suit, even tied his tie, and walked downstairs step by step.
Just as he passed by the living room, he was stopped by Chen Su.
"Wait, Xiao Yu, for no reason, what are you doing wearing this thing?"
"Dad told me to change my clothes and go out, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Su raised his hand to cover his mouth, almost laughing.
"Your dad told you to change your clothes, didn't tell you to dress so seriously, did he? It's not about taking you to talk about business. ”
"Isn't it?"
"Go back and change into casual clothes, don't let your dad wait outside for too long."
Li Yu's face was a little hot, and he quickly turned around and went upstairs. It's good that I didn't go out, otherwise I would really be embarrassed.
Another five minutes passed.
Li Yu opened the door and walked quickly to the black car parked outside.
He was putting his hand on the doorknob of the back door and opening it hard, and Li Ruijin's voice came.
"Co-pilot."
Li Yu hesitated for a moment, closed the door again, got into the front seat, and fastened his seat belt.
"Don't let the driver drive?"
"I have something to say to you, and I don't need outsiders to be present."
Then Li Ruijin stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly started and drove into the main road of the community.
The atmosphere inside the car was unusually quiet, and only the sound of the car's tires rubbing against the asphalt floor could be heard.
It wasn't until the car drove on a relatively wide road section with less traffic flow that Li Ruijin broke the silent atmosphere.
"Do you like to play games?"
"Huh?"
Li Yu, who was in a daze, didn't react for a while, and came back to his senses after a while, he was asking himself a question.
"Oh, I don't like it, it's just that today's study is done, and there's nothing to do."
"But I see you're playing very hard, and you're obviously in it."
"Actually, when I do other things, I also get into it, not just games."
"Hmm."
Li Ruijin stopped talking again, and the atmosphere fell back to the way it was at the beginning.
Li Yu tugged at the seat belt that stuck on his neck, and asked, "Don't you object to me playing games?" ”
Li Ruijin continued to drive the car seriously, and responded: "Have you seen me object?" ”
“…… Nope"
Li Yu recalled that in the past, even though Li Ruijin was very strict with him, it was all in terms of grades and personality, and he would not interfere with his hobbies.
"Why don't you object?"
"Why object?"
"I see a lot of parents saying that online games are electronic opium and will ruin their children."
"Do you think you're ruined?"
"Nope."
Don't look at Li Yu's grades that can't compare to Lu You and Tang Wan, but in the whole school, there are only two of them who can surpass him stably.
In addition, he is in school, keeps to himself, and can help the teacher do things, so he can be called someone else's child.
"So, what you said about electronic opium is not true."
Li Ruijin turned on his turn signal and steadily overtook the oil truck in front of him.
"The reason why I say this is just an excuse for incompetent parents to shirk their responsibilities and cover up their lack of education."
Hearing this, Li Yu lowered his eyes and asked without emotion: "Then do you think your education is very successful?" ”
Li Ruijin glanced at him without a trace, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Once, I thought it was very successful.
Because you know how to take the initiative to learn, follow the rules in school, and have excellent grades, you don't need your mother to bother. ”
"And now?"
"There was an unpredictable deviation and I was trying to find a way to remedy it."
Li Yu turned his head out the window, looked at the speeding trees, and asked, "Remedy?" How to remedy? ”
"You'll find out later."
……
The car finally stopped at the foot of a hill.
"Get out of the car."
Li Ruijin unbuckled his seat belt and took out two red plastic bags from the trunk of the car.
One bag is three large apples and a few sugar oranges, and the other bag is paper treasure candle incense.
Li Yu wanted to reach out and take a bag, but Li Ruijin refused.
"You don't have to take it, just follow me."
The two of them walked one after the other, stepping on the uneven stone road and moving forward slowly.
It took them two hills to reach their destination.
Li Yu looked at the desolate sandy graveyard in front of him and asked curiously, "Whose grave is this?" ”
Li Ruijin put down the bag in his hand, stepped forward to pull out a few weeds growing on the grave, and responded, "Your grandfather's." ”
"Huh?"
Li Yu was really surprised, he had never heard his family mention the existence of his grandfather since he was a child.
Although he was curious, he was too embarrassed to ask.
But I never thought that I would sleep in this deserted place.
"Xiao Yu, tell you a story. There used to be a young man, like a street runner, who spent all day loitering.
But such a person, with his own rhetoric, married a gentle and virtuous woman, and let her give birth to four children.
However, even after becoming a father, this person still does not know how to change, he still walks around the village every day, does not do his job, and the family's consumption is supported by the woman's meager salary.
When outsiders come to visit the house, they pretend to be a strict father and scold their children loudly, saying that the family education is actually just for their own non-existent face.
Later, this person was deceived by people from the same village who were working outside the village into doing business in other places, saying that they could make a lot of money, so they took all the cash in the family. ”
Li Yu heard that the person his father said was his grandfather.
"And then? Did you make a lot of money? ”
Li Ruijin casually placed the fruit in front of the small mound and said sarcastically: "It's said that it's a cheat, how can you make a lot of money?" ”
"Then what did you say about Grandpa when he came home?"
"After discussion, we unanimously agreed that if we just find a mountain and bury it, we should treat it as if there was no such person."
"Uh......"
Li Yu really didn't expect that it would be such a result.
"Aren't you sad?"
"Not at all. If you die, you can save some money for food for your aunt to study. ”
Li Ruijin took out the lighter, lit the paper treasure, folded his hands, and bowed slightly.
Li Yu was about to follow and bow twice, but he stopped him.
"Just look at it."
Li Ruijin lit three sticks of incense and inserted them at the bottom of the small mound.
"Dad, I brought Xiao Yu to see you. Don't think about it, the main thing is that I want to find a place to talk to him, and this is a good place, so I came.
One thing, I have to admit, I am indeed your son, your bullshit character, I learned a seven, seven, eight, eight.
But I'm still better than you, I'm rich, I spoil my wife, and my son hates me just as much, but it's not to the point of hating.
In the future, I will take you as a negative example to urge myself to speak well and not engage in face-facing projects. ”
Li Yu heard the hidden meaning in the words.
Basically, "Son, I know it's wrong, and I'll correct it in the future."
"Dad, do you want me to forgive you?"
"Nope."
Li Ruijin raised his foot and stepped on the incense that had not yet been burned, and said: "The mistake I made is the neglect of you for a long time, and it is impossible for you to forgive you with a word." ”
"And what is the point of saying that?"
"Tell you what I think."
Li Ruijin watched the paper money burn out, and after there was no trace of open flame left, he picked up the fruit bag and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain." ”
Li Yu didn't move, and looked at him calmly.
"That's all you have to say?"
"Also, talk about it on the way back."
