Takashi Mizukawa silently walked upstairs and went back to his room. He was not in the mood to get involved in the joy of his wife and children about his promotion.

Not long after, the door was opened, and Mizukawa's parents, who were already eighty years old, walked in. The purpose of their initiative to come to their son is naturally to have something to say.

Mizukawa's father sat down and directly expressed his attitude: "Your mother and I will not go to Wakayama City. ”

Takashi Mizukawa didn't feel surprised, and completely understood: "Since you don't want to go to Wakayama City, then don't go!" It's good to continue to stay in Karuizawa.

If I had lived in one place for most of my life, and at your age, I wouldn't have chosen to leave. As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots.

When people get older, it seems that there is no need to familiarize themselves with and get used to a new environment. However, today, I finally understand why the young people don't get married and have children. ”

Mizukawa's father understood the true meaning of his son's last sentence and said, "Don't blame your wife and children in your heart." If you look at their language behavior from a personal standpoint, you will not be disappointed.

But do you have any empathy? You make money to support your family, so that all of us in our family can live a decent and high-quality life. For so many years, your wife has been in charge of all the big and small things in the family.

We are saying behind our backs, you have been looking for other women in all the years you have worked abroad! Who are you to criticize your wife? And then there's ......"

Mizukawa Takashi interrupted: "Dad, I know. I don't mean to blame anyone. ”

Shuichuan's father said in his heart: "Only when you reach my age will you truly understand the true meaning of life."

Before getting married and starting a family, it is good to live alone, that is, not to cause trouble to others. After getting married and starting a family, I have no children and have to support my wife. It's a responsibility as a man.

Of course, my statement is really quite rotten for today's young people, and it will even be said by feminism to look down on women and see it as a manifestation of machismo.

Actually, it doesn't matter at all. If you have a wife and children, then you have to take care of this family. Raising children at least to adulthood is another responsibility that cannot be shirked as a man.

If you can still train your children to become talents, you will be excellent as a father. Don't say that you three children, it is impossible for all of them to become talents. Even if it is the five children of the president's family, not all of them have become talents.

The environment in which you grew up, and who you come into contact with, can have a direct and indirect impact, both consciously and unconsciously. Some of the effects are not even noticeable to you.

Take your eldest son, for example, to study well, you also need talent, and he does not have talent in this area. Can you blame him entirely? In my personal opinion, no.

At that time in our family, to be precise, at that time in yours, would the annual income be as high as it is today? Not at all!

I remember that the most difficult time for the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery was not only on the verge of bankruptcy, but also in the event of unpaid wages.

When I say this here, I am not talking about the rights and wrongs of the late president, but I am just stating an objective fact of the past.

At that time, even if you wanted to make a remedy for the boss's academic performance, our family couldn't come up with that money. For this, the boss had to fend for himself.

This is also the truest portrayal of children from ordinary working families. Later, the chairman took over the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery. Although the business is starting to improve, your work is busier than ever.

When you come home, it's not about eating, bathing, sleeping, it's about bathing, eating, sleeping. You ask yourself, do you seriously ask your boss about his academic performance? ”

When he said this, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable throat, and after coughing dryly, he continued: "When the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery came back to life and got better and better, although you also became a cadre, your income has increased significantly, and your family no longer worries about money, but the boss has missed the best time to remedy his studies.

And your attention is still only focused on your personal work and career, or do you continue to neglect the attention of your boss's studies? At this stage, it is also the period of youthful rebellion of the boss.

He is already fortunate that he did not learn badly. What's more, you also know that in school there are always those with poor grades and those with poor grades playing together, and those with good grades playing together.

The eldest of our family belongs to the former. His close friends and classmates are all people with poor academic performance. What else can they be motivated about?

In addition to getting together to brag, secretly smoking, and drinking, all that is left is to make all kinds of judgments about girls.

When you are transferred to China, there is no one in our family who can control the boss. Even if he completely lets himself go, you won't care.

Even if you don't say it in your mouth, you have given up on him in your heart, and the attention is on the second child who has a talent for learning. ”

Mizukawa Takashi can't say that his father is wrong, but he has his own hardships and helplessness: "I admit that I am missing part of my responsibility as a father for the boss."

However, as far as things are concerned, if I don't work hard, what about my present and our family today? The special recruitment quota of our family's Karuizawa Group, I gave it to the boss.

He's getting by at work, so that's not my problem. He is already an adult, so he has to be responsible for his personal actions. Could it be that he is addicted to pachinko, which is also my problem?

Do they have a family living here and pay one yen for living expenses? Not only that, but also no less money from his mother to fight pachinko.

As for the second child being able to work in the Karuizawa Group, it all depends on his personal ability. I didn't help at all.

When I saw him, I saw how hard I worked when I was young. Isn't it a matter of course that I pamper this child?

And the youngest daughter, I don't deny that I am indeed patriarchal and did not pay attention to her. However, over the years, in addition to finding her a stable job, I also gave her a certain monthly living allowance.

Even so, her money is still not enough to spend, and she always talks about the low income, and often goes back to her parents' house to fight the autumn breeze. It's not that she comes home alone to eat and take, but the whole family comes on the weekend.

Although I am not in my hometown, my wife told me everything. In all fairness, as a father, I am not ashamed of any of my children, let alone my wife and you. ”
