On the way down the mountain.

Li Yu and Li Ruijin, father and son, stepped on the dense half-human-tall fern flora and walked forward cautiously.

Li Ruijin held a tree branch in his hand and walked in the forefront, poking the ground twice from time to time to ensure that there would be no unknown potholes before taking his steps.

Looking at his father's back, Li Yu hesitated again and again, but he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked out loud: "Dad, do you know how grandpa died?" ”

Li Ruijin grabbed the trunk of a small tree, jumped down a short section of steep terrain, and said calmly: "I was hacked to death." ”

Li Yu: (@[]@!!)

What the heck? Is it so ruthless?

"Did he mess with the Hey Society?"

"Nope. It's just unlucky, and I happened to meet a group of people in the alley who committed murder, and I was made up by someone as a small soldier. ”

Belch...... Is there really anyone who dies so casually?

Li Yu was born in the modern era of strict public security management, and his family was wealthy, so he couldn't imagine the dire situation in the past.

Li Ruijin saw him with an expression of disbelief and explained: "You haven't experienced that era, you don't know. At that time, the social environment was far from being as safe as it is now, not to mention going out, staying at home could be robbed. ”

"Did the murderer get caught?"

"Hmm. During the special period, he was sanctioned by justice from above, and he was dragged to the square for public trial, and a group of people watched. ”

"Have you been there?"

"I didn't go, I was still living in the countryside at that time, and I was so poor that my family was surrounded by walls, so how could I spend money on a car for this little thing."

Li Yu then didn't ask more, he had heard his grandmother say that his family was poor in the early years.

If Li Ruijin hadn't succeeded in breaking through and had a career under his belt, it is estimated that he would still grow sweet potatoes in his hometown, how would he have a big farewell to live in.

……

Although it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, it takes less time to do the work when going down the mountain with the help of gravity.

After waiting for the car's air conditioner to be turned on for a period of time to disperse the stuffy air inside, Li Yu sat in the co-pilot, took out wet wipes, and wiped his sweaty arms and neck.

Climbing the mountain on a hot day is really stupid.

Li Ruijin sat in the driver's seat with a bottle of mineral water, and then threw it to Li Yu.

"Come, drink water."

Li Yu stretched out his hand to take it and asked, "Don't you drink?" ”

"I have this."

Li Ruijin pointed to the steaming thermos cup between the two, and he could vaguely see a few floating wolfberries.

"Would you like some?"

Li Yu refused repeatedly: "No, it's enough for me to drink mineral water." ”

Just kidding, it's already too hot to drink, and you still drink hot water, what's the difference between this and adding fuel to the fire?

Then, Li Yu unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank it with his head up.

A cool stream of water ran down his parched throat, taking away most of the sun's remaining heat in his body.

Li Ruijin looked at the horizontal surface inside the bottle, which fell rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until there was not a drop left, and he spoke.

"Xiao Yu, do you have a girl you like?"

"Ahem......"

The sudden questioning caught Li Yu off guard.

"Dad, you, what are you talking about?"

"Whether you are talking nonsense or not, you know it in your own heart."

Li Yu lowered his head, clutched the empty bottle in his hand tightly, and his heart turned upside down.

"How do you know?"

"Is it hard for me?"

Li Yu: "......"

"It's really not that hard."

When a person reaches a certain height and accumulates wealth, his personal connections will also unfold.

With Li Ruijin's achievements today, it is not surprising that there are people who know him in Chunhua.

"What's your relationship now?"

Li Yu subconsciously concealed the truth and said, "Just ...... Ordinary front and back tables. ”

"What about the others?"

"Nope."

"That's it?"

"Hmm."

"It's useless!"

Li Ruijin shook his head in disgust, then reversed the car out of the parking space, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly drove into the traffic on the road.

"I've heard others say that you, you and that girl, have been at the table for a year, and there has been no progress?"

"I've only liked her recently."

"What is the reason to like her? Because she's pretty? Or is it because she's the closest to you? ”

Li Yu silently searched in his heart and said, "Both." After spending a long time together, I got to know her appearance and character, and before I knew it, I liked her. ”

"Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

"I plan to confess to her after the college entrance examination."

"How sure are you?"

"Ten...... Ninety percent. ”

Li Yu didn't dare to say too much, for fear that his father would see the clues. But he didn't know that his careful thoughts were clearly seen by Li Ruijin.

Li Ruijin did not choose to poke Li Yu, but continued to talk along the conversation.

"So confident, aren't you afraid that you are self-inflicted?"

"Probably not. I could feel that she had a crush on me. ”

"What if she's a green tea and specializes in hanging an innocent rich second generation like you?"

Li Yu's brows tightened suddenly, and irritable thoughts came to his heart.

"Then I will be blind and unrecognizable."

The conversation between the two was interrupted, and the peaceful atmosphere in the car slowly fell silent.

Until the car is about to drive into the city, slowly stop in front of a traffic light at an intersection.

Li Ruijin explained: "I don't mean to belittle her, but to state an objective possibility. ”

"Objective existence?"

Li Yu sneered, his face full of mockery.

"If you casually express your own opinion without knowing her, that's called speculation! If you really want to be objective, please go and know her name first! ”

Li Ruijin's anger towards Li Yu can be said to be expected. After all, it was his sweetheart who he smeared, and if he didn't get angry, he would look down on him.

"Then you can introduce me to her name, appearance, preferences, personality, etc."

Li Yu was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Li Ruijin to wait for him here.

"Haven't you checked them all?"

"What if I say no?"

"I don't believe it."

"Then what else is there to say?"

Effective dialogue between people is based on mutual trust. If you don't even have this, then there's no need to communicate.

After struggling for a long time, Li Yu still made a decision.

"Her name is Xu Nian, she has short and medium hair, big eyes, and very attractive facial features. The hobbies are similar to mine, and she basically likes what I like.

The personality is a little impatient, impatient, and loves to lose his temper. But it's good to friends, a typical knife mouth tofu heart. ”

"Xu Nian?"

Li Ruijin suddenly thought of something, the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, and said funny: "I said why did you change your name to such a stupid VX some time ago, it turned out to be playing this hand." ”

When the human brain is dominated by dopamine, there will always be all kinds of bold behaviors, and these behaviors are often extremely regrettable.

Just like Li Yu at this time, even if his face is as thick as a city wall, he can't help but feel a burst of heat at this time, and the toe buckles are about to be cut out of the three rooms and one living room.

"I ...... I'll change it now. ”

"Unprovoked, what did you change? Didn't you choose this name just to let people know what you wanted?

As a result, you will change it without saying a word, in case people think too much and think that you have changed your mind, how will you explain it then? ”

Li Yu thought about it seriously, and indeed, as Li Ruijin said, if he doesn't change it, he will be embarrassed at most, but if he changes, he will lose his girlfriend.

"Eh, Dad, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be very opposed to me falling in love? Why did you give me another tip this time? ”

At this time, the color of the traffic light in front jumped, and Li Ruijin immediately started the car.

While steering the wheel, he asked, "Before I answer this question, let me ask you, do you know why I am so strict with you?" ”

Li Yu shook his head. If he understood, Li Ruijin would not have caused such a big estrangement.

"Part of the reason, as I told you earlier, is that it is influenced by your inappropriate grandfather. Part of the reason goes back to the time when I came out. Do you remember when I was self-made? ”

"I remember, every year when I came home for the Chinese New Year, my grandmother would repeat it. Probably, it is to emerge, noble people help each other, seize the opportunity, and ascend to the sky in one step. ”

Hearing others boast about themselves in person, especially if this person is still his own son, Li Ruijin always feels weird.

Doesn't that sound simple? But the reality is much more complicated than that.

I just graduated and worked in the factory, and before I earned the money, I met your mother.

The salaries of the two will be added together, and it will only be a hundred yuan a month, except for the ones sent home, there is basically not much left.

Fortunately, your mother will be able to run the house, and the money will be less, so you can save a little money, and you can live okay.

Then after two years, I thought that there was no future for working with people all the time, so I quit my job and went out to start a business.

But starting a business, which is said to be done, I have no principal, no background, even if the creativity is good, people still don't diao you.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and your mother said that she was uncomfortable and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said there was something in the stomach. ”

Li Yu's heart tightened, he had grown so big, he had never heard Chen Su mention this matter once.

"Does it matter to my mother? Is it cured? ”

"Listen to me."

Li Ruijin continued: "In the end, the result came out, it was benign, and it would be fine if you cut it out." ”

"But don't have the money for surgery?"

Li Ruijin nodded, affirming Li Yu's question.

"During that time, your mother and I couldn't even pay the rent, let alone have surgery.

Watching the days go by without any improvement in business, I feel like I've seen the countdown to your mother's life.

I really hate myself, why can't I make a lot of money, and I hate your grandfather, how can he be a waste person and can't give me a good family.

Fortunately, I met your Uncle Lu, and with his help, he not only made the business bigger, but also borrowed money so that your mother could have surgery. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu more or less understood why Li Ruijin should be strict with himself.

"So, you educate me in this way of superiors to subordinates, just to make me have the ability to be self-reliant earlier?"

"Yes. Since then, I hope that my offspring, even without my help, will be able to live a prosperous life without needing to be trapped by 'money'. ”

"What you think, I understand. But Dad, have you ever thought that I am your son, and from the moment I was born, I was destined to be inseparable from you. ”

"yes!"

Li Ruijin sighed, his eyes full of melancholy.

"The career I have built will eventually have a part of you, and your starting point is completely different from mine. It would be inappropriate to use my experience to ask you again. I admit my mistake to you, I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. ”

Li Yu turned his head out of the window and said coldly, "I don't accept it." ”

For as long as he can remember, he has felt very little fatherly love. There is always only one gift for birthdays, only Chen Su goes to the parent-teacher meeting, and when he is sick, he just comes to take a look like a routine.

Li Yu even suspected that he was not biological, which is why he was so disgusted by Li Ruijin.

Now he actually said that it was a mistake in his way of thinking, which led to such a situation, such a ridiculous reason, Li Yu would not accept it, and it was impossible to accept it.

"I don't expect you to accept it, I just want to tell you that as your father, my approach to your education is not quite correct, but it is not that I don't love you.

I remember your birthday every year, and it seems that there is only one gift, but it is carefully selected by me and your mother.

I didn't go to every parent-teacher meeting you had, but I would ask your mom to record a video and take it home to watch.

In fact, I have participated in every growth of you, but I have hidden my own figure and not let you notice it, I don't want you to rely on me too much. ”

"Then why are you saying it now, it's better to keep it hidden, it's good for us to be enemies."

Regarding the sarcasm in Li Yu's tone, Li Ruijin was unmoved. He has chosen this path, and he will bear the consequences.

Until the car stopped at the door of the house, the father and son did not say a word.

Li Yu pushed the car door without saying a word, and was about to get out of the car and leave, when Li Rui stopped him when he came in and out.

"Wait a minute."

Li Yu stopped and turned his back to Li Ruijin.

"Anything else?"

"About the girl you like."

Li Yu clenched his fists and said sarcastically: "What? This time, you want to use some ridiculous reason to meddle in my business. ”

Li Ruijin's face did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Whether you will interfere or not, it depends on the results and actual progress of the two of you, and you know my bottom line."

I will give you a suggestion as a person who has come over, if you want to go further with her, be more tolerant, more understanding, and understand more about the psychological differences between the sexes. ”

Although Li Yu wanted to put his words behind him, his brain still involuntarily functioned and memorized every word.

"Okay, that's it, you can go back, and by the way, help me call your mother out. Oh, and also, you can figure it out after dinner, and your mom and I went out. ”

Not long after Li Yu entered the house, Chen Su, who was wearing casual clothes, stepped lightly into the co-pilot. Li Ruijin stretched out his hand to fasten her seat belt.

"Didn't you say you wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Yu, why does he seem to be in a particularly bad mood?"

"Probably...... It's me who changed too fast, he can't accept it for a while, give him some time. ”

After fastening his seat belt, Li Ruijin sat back in the driver's seat and firmly grasped the steering wheel with both hands.

"Sit down, let's go."

Li Ruijin stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.

Pinch the hemp drops. Got in
