The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse
Chapter 24
"Mom and dad, I have to leave tomorrow, because there is still a business abroad waiting for me to handle it. Chongde will ask you to take care of it."
While eating, Jiang Liu said calmly to his parents on the side.
"I'm going to leave as soon as I come back. Chongde Ming will rest two days later. You can take Chongde to climb the mountain and feel the conch at the beach."
Cai Shufen's movement of holding vegetables suddenly paused and said a little reluctantly, but she directly ignored the second half of her son's sentence, what is going to deal with business abroad, this is a lie.
Originally, my son and grandson had less time to spend time with each other. It just happened that the grandson would rest the next two days. Wouldn't it be good for the two to cultivate their feelings together.
"Jiang Liu, you are all dads. Can you be more sensible and responsible? Yes, now I can help you take care of Chongde, but when my mother and I are older and can’t even walk. Who can Chongde still rely on, and who can my mother and I rely on?"
"Don't tell me that you can ask the babysitter if you have the money and get out of the calf!"
Jiang Linhai kept his face down, and the old lady always said that he should treat his son better. After all, he stays at home every year for a long time. There is no need to be unhappy in the few days of reunion. If one day the son is really because of them If you were angry, you would never come back. It was them and the child Chongde who were sad.
But looking at him every day without a proper course, and even without a truth in front of his family, Jiang Linhai couldn't help it.
"I don't need him to take care of it."
Jiang Chongde stood up: "And when I grow up, I can take care of my grandparents, and I don't need this man who will only brag about us."
The thin face was full of perseverance and anger. Cai Shufen wanted to say that his grandson shouldn’t talk to his dad that much, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn’t think of any refutation.
"I'm full and I'll take the leftovers to feed the chicken later."
Jiang Chongde’s fists were tight, he knew that his grandmother would be sorry for his remarks, because she always hoped to repair the indifferent feelings between their father and son, but Jiang Chongde really couldn’t do it. Jiang Chongde felt sick when he came back to the school to add jokes about him.
After all, he put down the bowl and left the dining room and returned to his room on the second floor.
"Sophisticated, why do you say these things again?"
Cai Shufen put down the bowl and sighed.
"Huh, the mother has many defeats. I think Chongde is right. In the future, we can count on the child Chongde. It makes no difference whether there is this person in the family."
Jiang Linhai pointed at his innocently acting silly son and angrily put down the bowl.
"I don't eat anymore."
After that, he followed the grandson and left the dining room.
This is all right, only the river and the old lady looked at each other.
"Mom, dad is angry that I didn't give you support?"
Jiang Liu pondered and asked the old lady: "But my dad is still working. It is far from when I am going to pay maintenance. Although I am rich, I don't want to encourage my dad to get something for nothing. Inert, but you can rest assured that when my dad also retires, I will pay you the living expenses on time every month. After all, you know, I am really rich."
To his son's solemn and puzzled expression, Cai Shufen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
"you--"
"Eh, forget it, just be happy."
For a moment, Cai Shufen wanted to take his son to a psychiatric hospital to see if there was a problem with his head. But think about how he lives in his own world, except that the people around him are not happy, but he himself coaxes himself. Ha ha, no matter what, it was better than the appearance of despair and despair after the daughter-in-law's life and sudden rescue of amniotic fluid embolism.
During that time, Cai Shufen was afraid that her son would die with his daughter-in-law.
Later, as long as her son survived well, he would be too lazy to take care of the extraordinary things he did.
"Eh--"
There was another long sigh, and the old lady couldn't eat any more. She put down her chopsticks and held her forehead to her son and said to her: "When you finish eating, put the leftovers in a big bowl and wait for the next one. Feed the chickens and ducks. As for the tableware and chopsticks, you are responsible for washing them. Tomorrow you will leave and follow you."
Her pension and old man’s salary are not low, plus the savings from earlier years, enough for grandson to finish college, and even to prepare a down payment for a small house in a small city. It's not that important anymore.
After a good dinner, Jiangliu happily finished eating alone.

"Boom Boom Boom--"
Jiang Chongde was sulking in his room, and he heard the door knocked.
"Chongde, Dad wants to have a good chat with you."
It turned out that the annoying ghost was coming. Jiang Chongde was about to get out of bed to open the door, but after a moment of thinking, he walked to the door reluctantly and opened the door.
"What to say."
He was standing in the doorway, obviously reluctant to let Jiang Liu step into his territory.
"It's okay. My dad is leaving tomorrow. I might have to leave for a long time. I just want to ask you if there is anything I want."
Jiang Liu reached out his hand and wanted to touch his head like he did when he first met today. Jiang Chongde would naturally not let him treat him like a child, and would protect his head with his hands without thinking.
Because of his action, Jiang Liu took advantage of the situation and slammed through the gap in the doorway, sitting on the chair in his son's room with a big swing.
Everyone came in and could not rush out anymore. Jiang Chongde was also afraid that the grandpa and grandpa next door would be too moved to close the door in sulking, walked to his bedside and sat down, facing each other in a confrontation.
"Say, what the hell are you doing for me."
Jiang Chongde watched the man on the opposite side alertly. Did the other party come for the six hundred dollars?
You have to know that this man has never paid a penny in front of him so big, so in Jiang Chongde's perception, the man who is full of big words should be impoverished.
Today, he gave him 600 yuan. It is very likely that he received the living expenses for a long period of time. It was just because he was wrongly given to him for drunkenness when he was drunk, so I thought about asking for money. gone back.
But in his pocket, Jiang Chongde would never return it. He would rather not spend the six hundred dollars, and don’t want to see the man in front of him take the money to buy wine at the island’s tavern, and then And bragging with others.
Even a genius, because of his young age, all his thoughts were written on his face. Jiang Liu looked at it and knew what he was thinking about.
Feeling funny in his heart, Jiang Liu wanted to tease the kid even more.
"Actually, I want to talk to you about money--"
"You gave me those six hundred dollars, don't you want to take them back!"
Before Jiang Liu finished speaking, Jiang Chongde hurriedly covered his pockets with his hands and looked at his own father with scumbag eyes.
"of course not."
Jiang Liu couldn't help but laugh, and kept his own character with all his responsibilities.
"I know there are many and many misunderstandings between you and Dad. Maybe there is something wrong with my education philosophy, but son, you need to know that Dad is also for your own good. After all, if you were young, you would live in a golden environment. , The cultivation of your character and willpower is not a good thing."
Jiang Liu said sincerely: "Dad just wants you to grow like an ordinary child, and does not want to deprive you of purely naive childhood because of money."
Those who listened to these words across the road were very hard.
It was not easy for the Jiang Liu who said this to hold a smile.
It seemed that I was too much to tease the child, Jiang Liu rubbed his eyes, and there was a touch of vicissitudes in his face: "But you are still a child after all, it is my fault to be too harsh on you, and occasionally Dad should still meet your wishes, This time Dad will go abroad for a period of time, tell Dad what gift you want."
"I want a Ferrari sports car."
Jiang Chongde felt ridiculous. The man in front of him was not enough to brag in front of outsiders. Even in front of his closest family members, he had to show this illusion of wealth.
Okay, didn’t he say he had money? Then buy him a Ferrari if he has the ability.
"This--"
The river was hesitant.
"Why, can't you afford it?"
Jiang Chongde sneered in the face, too, how could this man blow out in front of millions of sports cars.
"It's not that you can't afford it. It's just Chongde. My father taught you to observe discipline and law from an early age. It seems you haven't reached the age for driving license?
Jiang Liu said embarrassedly: "And if this car is bought, you can't drive it. Isn't it against my arduous and simple education philosophy for you? No, no, no, I will buy you a Ferrari model car ."
Jiangliu's ouster made Jiang Chongde firmly believe that his dad was a man with a lot of words, disdain and wanted to break through his fake mask.
"I haven't asked you anything since I was small, but now it's just a small wish. Are you not willing to satisfy me, don't say anything if I don't have a driver's license, I don't have it, haven't you?"
Jiang Chongde remembered that his dad had obtained a driver's license, so on weekdays, others would encourage him to buy a car after he had finished blowing his cows, but he was rejected by him for various reasons.
"Did you not want to buy it, or you can't afford it at all? Dad, the poor are not embarrassing, but if the poor still pretend, it would be ugly.
"Okay, let me think about it."
Jiang Liu's expression was still awkward. After a long sigh, he stood up and was ready to leave.
"But Chongde, you need to know that the money to buy a Ferrari is enough for Dad to help build several Hope Primary Schools and provide tens of thousands of children in poverty-stricken mountain areas with a loving meal for a long time. You want extravagant enjoyment, Dad. Understand, but I hope that one day when you enjoy these, you will rely on your own efforts."
After that, Jiang Liu turned and left.
In an instant, Jiang Chongde felt that he was the kind of sinner who used his father's money to eat Haisai and ruined his family's business. He actually didn't have a caring meal for a child in a mountainous area in Ferrari. build.
Wait, the man has no money at all. He will not buy Ferrari or build Hope Primary School. Where does he need guilt?
Jiang Chongde sneered as he watched the man leave, then shut the door heavily.
I really believed his evil!
