Chapter 175: One in Ten Thousand Regrets (11)
"Your teacher just praised you for coming. After the parent-teacher meeting, seeing Chu Yunyu who was waiting for her obediently, Li Juanping smiled very happily and encouraged her daughter, what she lacks now is praise and self-confidence, but fortunately, it is not too late to find out.
"Mom is happy. Chu Yunyun pretended to be shy and lowered his head, jumping from the penultimate to the fifteenth, politely speaking, the teacher would definitely encourage a few words, but most of them were just passing the motions.
"You kid, I'm glad you grew up healthy. Li Juanping smiled and patted her daughter's back and walked outside the school together.
"Well, I'll work hard for that. Chu Yunyun nodded solemnly.
As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he saw Chu Qinghao standing next to the banyan tree opposite, but he seemed to be planning to leave quietly at this time. "Daddy—"
Chu Qinghao heard his daughter's voice, and he couldn't help but pause when he turned around. After buying hot pot ingredients in the morning, I didn't know what to do for a while, and I was happy that my daughter had made such a big progress this time, thinking about the parent-teacher meeting, I slipped to the school before I knew it, just in time for the end of the parent-teacher meeting. Looking at the well-dressed appearance of other parents, and then looking at himself so sloppy and unkempt, he felt that he would embarrass his daughter, so he dodged and wanted to turn away.
"Dad, you're here to pick me up and Mommy. Chu Yunyun stepped forward and grabbed Chu Qinghao's arm, ignoring his frozen body, and said with a smile, "Mom said that the teacher just praised me in the class." ”
"Really? hahaha, yes, yes, yes. Chu Qinghao laughed happily when he heard this, his body also relaxed, and he looked at his daughter and smiled extraordinarily brightly. After many years, the daughter is finally willing to accept him again as an incompetent father.
"Go home, the boy should be hungry. Li Juanping couldn't help laughing when she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Hey, that's it. Chu Qinghao was stunned by Li Juanping's smile, and hurriedly responded, "I washed all the dishes, and the fat beef and mutton slices I bought were also freshly cut in the store, which looked very fresh." I also bought some fruits that you like to eat, all of them are in season, and the boss said that they are all pollution-free, and ......"
Looking at the family of three who were talking and laughing and gradually walking away, Gao Liang sneered, "It's very happy." Thinking of Chu Yunyun's father, Gao Liang looked in the direction they left again in confusion, "Strange ......"
After eating the hot pot lively, Chu Yunyun called out to Chu's mother, who got up to clean up the table, and stopped talking, constantly taking deep breaths to cheer herself up, "What's the matter, just say whatever you want." Seeing that her daughter seemed to be very entangled, Li Juanping sat beside her and comforted her encouragingly.
"That is, if there is anything difficult, say it, there is ...... Don't get bored. Chu Qinghao originally wanted to say "there is a father", but thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help but change his words.
"I think, I want to ......," Chu Yunyun muttered in a low voice.
"Well, what? It doesn't matter, how do you know that we won't agree if you don't make it clear?" Li Juanping continued to encourage.
"I want to move, I don't live here, let's rent it out, and then go out and rent a house to live in, even if it's in the wrong place. Chu Yunyun plucked up his courage and said, took out the envelope in his schoolbag and put it on the table, "This is the salary I earned part-time in the previous month, there are one thousand two, I have inquired, there is a bungalow for rent near the factory where my mother works, one thousand yuan a month." It has been expanding in recent years, all the facilities are sound, the environment is also close to nature, and there is a direct bus to our school, which is very convenient. Is that okay?"
"You go out on weekends to work part-time just to pay the rent?" Li Juanping looked at the envelope on the table, her expression was a little complicated. During this time, she knew that her daughter couldn't sleep when she woke up before four o'clock every morning, and she also knew that her daughter had always had low self-esteem and was introverted and liked to passively avoid things. What I should do is to continue to encourage and support, so that she gradually becomes self-confident, instead of dampening her enthusiasm that she has finally put up, as for rent, people can't be squeezed to death by money in life, there will be a way.
"Good. Li Juanping said.
"Really?!Mom, do you really agree to move out?" Chu Yunyun shouted as if in disbelief.
"Really," Li Juanping nodded, "Take a break at noon, let's go to the place you said in the afternoon, and if it's suitable, move in, and get used to the new environment before you start school." As for this money, you keep it, and your mother can't even take out the rent. ”
"I'll find a way to earn the rent, so you don't have to worry about it. Chu Qinghao, who had been silent, spoke.
"Dad?"
"I should be able to find a job in another place. Chu Qinghao looked at his daughter and said with a smile. In fact, he has been trying to find a job during this time, but he has been out of society for too long, and it is not easy to find a suitable position for him, and no one even invites him to do the hard work of washing dishes and porters, after all, he has been a "celebrity" around him all these years, and everyone is a small business, but he does not dare to let people who are drunk and crazy all the time to work.
"Sure, I was born to be useful. Chu Yunyun is very supportive of this, he can take this first step is already a very big gain, and it is not in vain the effort he has spent during this time. Sometimes failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of motivation and responsibility for revival, and himself and this family are the most important responsibilities in Chu Qinghao's heart.
"Trust me, I'm sure I won't let you down again this time. Chu Qinghao looked at the two solemnly and said.
In fact, he was initially addicted to the charm of gambling and could not extricate himself, but later he was hit by a series of realities, and these pains and self-blame have long since uprooted his gambling addiction and replaced it, filling his entire life, gradually giving up on himself and spurning himself. In addition, the death of his mother-in-law has a certain relationship with him, Li Juanping should be resentful, the family is in a deep and dead air, his beloved wife no longer says a word to him, and his daughter is no longer close to him, and all of this is caused by him, so the bitter fruit should also be borne by himself.
Countless times of pain, he can recall the original scenery, and when he thinks of those luxuries, he can't help but recall the big gambles he made again and again, as well as the letters left by Zhang Xing, which are like steel needles that continue to pierce into his body, gradually consuming all his momentum and courage. Chu Qinghao slowly got used to paralyzing himself with alcohol and escaping reality, and I have to say that the father and daughter are too similar at this point.
Thinking of the disappointed eyes of his parents, mother-in-law, and eldest sister's family, his wife's indifference for so many years, and his daughter becoming so inferior and negative because of him, Chu Qinghao didn't want to continue, he didn't live only with himself, even for the health and happiness of his daughter, he had to cheer up.
"Well, I believe that everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you take the first step, nothing can stump my dad. Is it, Mom?" Chu Yunyun looked at Li Juanping, didn't they all say that children are the most important link to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, obviously they are two people who love each other, and the knot in their hearts really can't be put aside anymore, and life has to go on.
"Things can be done by doing, not just talking and not practicing," Li Juanping got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, "I'll wash the dishes, and I'll go out to see the house when I'm resting later." ”
Waiting for Li Juanping to take the tableware back into the kitchen, Chu Yunyun smiled at Chu Qinghao, "Dad, I support you, and Mom is also looking forward to your performance, let's work together." ”
"Yes. Chu Qinghao looked at his wife who was busy in the kitchen and replied firmly.
