Chapter 160

"Cry, cry, cry. If you really think life can't go on, we'll divorce."

Zhang Guoqing came back from a day's work and saw the woman sitting on the sofa with tears for some reason. She was both helpless and disappointed.

There was some indifference between her words, which made the woman who was already crying silently more sad, lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, raised her white and thin arm, wiped the tears on her face, stood up slightly cramped, just like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

"You're back on national day. I'll cook for you now."

Lin Fang looked up at her husband. Zhang Guoqing showed nothing. She jumped into the kitchen like she was frightened. In addition, she didn't say a word.

Zhang Guoqing is also used to Lin Fang's behavior of avoiding him like snakes and scorpions. He laments for the countless times that it was a mistake to choose to marry Lin Fang at the beginning, and his persistence over the years is just a joke.

When he stayed in the porch, Zhang's door was opened again. A tall, thin boy with some cold eyes and eyebrows came in with a basketball in his hand.

"I know playing ball. You are still a student. The most important thing is learning." Zhang Guoqing said sternly to the boy who came in.

"Dad, I know. It's relaxing during the summer vacation. I haven't fallen behind in the tutoring on weekdays. I'll be able to enter a satisfactory University at that time."

Yan Chu, now called Zhang Chu, said to the man with a straight face and some love and embarrassment at the bottom of his eyes.

In fact, just blurted out □ □ words, Zhang Guoqing has some regrets. In front of the child, he used to love the child with a sharp heart, but something happened later, which made him unable to give unreservedly to the child, but this does not mean that he has no feelings for the child.

He knew that his son didn't like him. He always talked about his study. He also knew that the child always hated his arrogance and thought he was the tyrant of the family. He always bullied his wife and his mother.

Zhang Guoqing is clumsy and doesn't know how to explain. The misunderstanding between father and son is getting deeper and deeper. Now that his son is adolescent, father and son are under the same roof, and there is no communication for a day.

He can't remember the last time his son called his father. It seems that recently, his son always called him, which made Zhang Guoqing feel a little cold.

But now his son did not know why he was close to him again. Zhang Guoqing could no longer face him with a straight face and had a smile on his face.

"Is the cost of living enough? You'll be a senior three right away. You'll spend a lot on materials. If you're short of money, tell your father."

His son gave in and took the initiative to give him the steps. Zhang Guoqing was not good to be stretched any more. Although his words were still inseparable from learning, they were not as serious as they were at the beginning.

"Xiao Chu, you're back."

Lin Fang in the kitchen heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and came out with plastic gloves on her hands.

Her husband and son didn't eat lunch at home today. She made lunch for herself, but the dishes were still in the sink. She had to wash the dishes before making dinner.

Lin Fang has always disliked this kind of washing and burning work, but her husband has no ability. He just earns a fixed salary, pays off the mortgage and car loan, plus his son's reading expenses. The remaining money each month is enough for daily expenses and a small amount of savings. This part of money is used to prevent unexpected needs. Lin Fang wants to hire nannies or hourly workers, This can only be extravagant hope.

She also has a bachelor's degree and majored in design in the top art colleges in China. At the beginning, she did well in school, but she didn't go to class after graduating from school. At first, it was because of marriage and having children. Later, when the children got away, Lin Fang found that she was out of touch with the society, the innovation of design software and the rapid change of trend, She can't adapt to her own specialty and the work intensity of design work.

Lin Fang couldn't bear to work as a receptionist and teller. She felt sorry for her diploma.

In this way, she became a full-time housewife, specializing in home dinner, laundry and cleaning.

At this time, Lin Fang's eyes were still red. Seeing her son, she couldn't help wiping her tears with her gloved hand.

It was such a scene again. Zhang Guoqing couldn't say whether he was disappointed or anything. He thought, I'm afraid that the next second, his son would accuse him for his mother. Sometimes Zhang Guoqing was also thinking about what strength there was to live such a life.

"Mom, is the water heater on? I'm sweating after playing basketball. I'll take a bath first."

Yan Chu did not coax the silent tearful Mother like his former body, nor did he accuse Zhang Guoqing of his father indiscriminately.

He didn't do everything, because he loved Lin Fang's mother and contracted her unfinished housework. Yan Chu just lowered his head and changed his shoes. He didn't seem to see Lin Fang at this time.

"Ah, open, open."

Not only is Zhang Guoqing different, but also Lin Fang. She subconsciously answered her son's questions.

Yan Chu went back to his room with a basketball and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes soon.

I don't know why, Zhang Guoqing faintly wanted to laugh. He ironically looked at his helpless wife, took his briefcase and went back to his room.

Lin Fang pinched the dishwashing cloth in her hand, and her thin body attracted more and more pity. It was a pity that there was no man in the house who would pity her.

Until she heard the buzzing sound of the water heater in the bathroom, Lin Fang went back to the kitchen and continued the housework she had just finished.

"Zhang Chu, I haven't seen you play basketball recently. Did your father scold you again?"

Yan Chu rode his bicycle with several breakfast hanging on the handle. Before he got home, he was stopped by Cheng Sheng, his good friend.

"No, how could my father scold me? He used to think learning was important and worried that I would drop my homework because of playing ball."

Yan Chu supported the bicycle with one foot and stepped on the pedal with one foot. The tall and thin boy was dressed fresh and cool. He wore a white ball suit, loose sports pants and a hair band on his forehead, which was neat without losing the youth's sense of fashion and handsome.

"Oh, I didn't expect that one day you would say good things about your father. Didn't you always say that your father was a tyrant and didn't have the ability to bully your mother and you?"

Cheng Sheng looked like he saw the new world. He seemed surprised to hear Yan Chu say good things about his father from his mouth.

"I misunderstood before. In fact, my father is not easy. You know, my mother doesn't have a job. Our family depends on my father for money. In fact, sometimes think about it, my father doesn't do anything sorry for my mother, but she always cries at home. My father sometimes comes back from work for several nights. It's inevitable to be angry when he sees such a scene."

"It's hard for you to finally understand that, your mother, I really can't say anything." In the past, what he heard from his good friend was the maintenance of his crying mother. To tell the truth, Cheng Shengchang was so big. It was the first time he saw a man like Yan Chu so close to his mother.

Anyway, Cheng Sheng doesn't like his friend's mother. He always loses his face. Once he went to his friend's house and didn't do anything. She cried at herself and complained about her husband and the injustice of life.

Cheng Sheng was helpless. As an elder, how could the other party kindly tell him? Since then, Cheng Sheng easily didn't go to his friends' house, and every party was held outside or at his own house.

Cheng Sheng didn't want to make friends with Yan Chu if he didn't have any problems. He was afraid that Yan Chu also inherited a fucking IQ and EQ.

Now seeing that his good brother has come out of his mother's magic barrier, Cheng Sheng feels very happy.

"Well, do you want to play together this afternoon? The sports students in No. 2 middle school had a war with us, and Zhao Xinhan promised to be a cheerleader."

Cheng Sheng knows that his friends are interested in the school flowers of No. 2 middle school. Although he thinks his friends have always had problems with women's eyes, he can only use his friend's goddess as bait because he can't make an appointment with anyone at this time.

"OK, I'll see you at your house after dinner."

Today is an important plot node. Even if Cheng Sheng didn't meet him, Yan Chu would find him himself. Therefore, without hesitation, Yan Chu agreed to the other party's invitation.

"Color is more important than friends."

Cheng Sheng beat Yan Chu's chest heavily. Sure enough, only when he heard Zhao Xinhan's name, the other party was willing to come out of the house.

Yan Chu didn't explain. They made an appointment to meet, so they separated.

Today is Sunday. It's rare for Zhang Guoqing not to work overtime. He slept in and got up at 8:30. He was thinking whether he should buy some breakfast. When he came back, Yan Chu opened the door and came in with some breakfast in his hand.

"Dad, your favorite glutinous rice ball is wrapped with butter strips, pickled mustard and ham sausage. It's painted with seafood sauce and your favorite Liji soybean milk. It's still hot."

Yan Chu delivered the breakfast bought for Zhang Guoqing to him, and then picked up his breakfast and ate it.

"Not ready for your mother?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at his son and carried two breakfasts. One was his and the other was his own, which meant that the other party didn't prepare Lin Fang's breakfast.

"My mother sleeps late on Sundays. She usually has lunch when she gets up."

Zhang Guoqing's work is busy. Most of the time, he doesn't come back for dinner. On weekdays, on school days, he solves his original breakfast and lunch outside. Lin Fang needs to take care of it. Most of the time, he only has dinner.

On Sundays, she is even less needed. If Zhang Guoqing and Yan Chu rest, they will go to the breakfast stand outside to solve it. Lin Fang will sleep until the sun rises, and then prepare today's lunch and dinner.

However, according to his original memory, after he was 15 years old, he was often the one who washed and cooked at home. Because he loved his mother, he consciously undertook a lot of housework, which the honest man didn't know.

After listening to his son's words, Zhang Guoqing didn't say much, but he was still very happy that his son could remember his preferences. Even if Yan Chu proposed to play with his classmates in the afternoon, he didn't say anything against it. He gave Yan Chu 50 yuan to buy some cold drinks when he was tired of playing.

For the first time, the father and son, who had not been close since Yan Chu was 12, went to the vegetable market to buy a la carte after breakfast together.

When Lin Fang got up, lunch was ready. Father and son were talking and laughing in the kitchen to clean the sink. The atmosphere was particularly harmonious, as if Lin Fang had been excluded.

"You got up just in time. Come over for dinner after washing your face and brushing your teeth."

Zhang Guoqing looked up at his wife's face. The smile on his face converged slightly and said to Lin Fang.

Lin Fang was wronged and her eyes were red again. She turned her head and looked at her son.

Yan Chu didn't speak, just lowered his head and put chopsticks.

I don't know from which day on, this always defended her son and seemed more and more strange and indifferent to her. Lin Fang didn't know whether it was her own illusion.

Reluctantly, Lin Fang went to the bathroom to wash, and then the family of three sat down and ate silently. Zhang Guoqing and Yan Chu occasionally learned to say a few words.

"Is the math tutorial OK recently?"

Zhang Guoqing asked that his son was very good in other subjects, but he couldn't get up in mathematics. Now the cram class he found for his son was opened by a famous super teacher.

After the other party retires, he starts classes to earn some extra money. For 20 days, the tuition fee for two hours a day is 3000 yuan. This is not one-on-one counseling. There are more than 30 students in the tutorial class. Zhang Guoqing doesn't know whether such tutorial is useful to his son.

"Very good. I can listen to what the teacher teaches. I think I should be able to do well when the summer vacation begins."

Yan Chu said to his father after eating a mouthful of vegetables.

"That's good. You got 93 points in math in your last final exam. The teacher said that as long as you can improve your math, key universities are still very promising."

In the past, my son was always impatient when talking about study. Now my son is willing to listen, and Zhang Guoqing can't help talking more.

"On national day, you don't always tell your children to study. Children's happiness is the most important. You don't use your rules to strangle children's nature. It's said in the news. There are many stalls for students of Yanjing University and Shuimu university after graduation. Grades and schools don't mean everything."

Lin Fang looked at her son gently and said softly.

"I was not sensible before. Now I think it's really important to study well. No matter what I say in the future, at least one more chip can make the starting point higher than others. Dad, don't worry, I will study hard and be admitted to key universities."

Yan Chu's answer made Zhang Guoqing happy. He didn't understand why Lin Fang always made trouble when he taught his son. It was clearly her son.

He didn't know how to express his current happiness. He just kept smiling and sandwiched several spoonfuls of his tomato scrambled eggs for Yan Chu to eat two more.

Mingming's son hates math most. In the past, Lin Fang helped him speak. His son was very moved, but this time it didn't work.

Lin Fang pursed her lips and looked at the crystal clear grains of rice in the bowl. Suddenly, she lost her appetite.

She put down the bowl heavily, went back to the room without looking back, and then closed the door.

"Dad, divorce your mother."

After Lin Fang returned to his room, Yan Chu suddenly opened his mouth and said to Zhang Guoqing.

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?" Zhang Guoqing tightened his hand holding the bowl and looked up at his son. He didn't understand why he said about divorce.

"You two are not happy at all. When I was a child, my mother always said that I couldn't divorce for my sake. Now I'm an adult. I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year, so if I can't live, I'll leave."

Yan Chu didn't understand how the man in front of him endured these years of marriage. I'm afraid in addition to his obsession and unwillingness to Lin Fang, his love for the original body is also part of the reason.

In the last life, the original body betrayed his relatives. In the end, only the man he always despised and hated was still willing to take him in and take care of him.

Even in the end, I am willing to pay the price of soul, only for the original body to change.

Yan Chu could not guarantee that if he were this man, he would make such a decision called the Holy Father from his standpoint.

But one thing is certain. Although Zhang Guoqing cherished Yan Chu's life experience for a long time, he was sincere about this son.

"This kind of thing should not be managed by your child. All you have to do now is study hard and then enter a good university."

Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and poked the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks. His expression was a little flustered.

"If, Dad means, if I divorced your mother, who would you talk to?"

A few minutes later, in the quiet dining room, Zhang Guoqing suddenly spoke again.

"Of course with Dad, but no matter who you are with, you are my parents." Yan Chu said to the uneasy man. Hearing his son's reply, Zhang Guoqing's locked eyebrows suddenly relaxed and untied, and a smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

He felt that with his son's answer, he didn't seem to fail so much in his life.

But divorce, he has to think about it.

******

"Zhang Chu, your boy has been in seclusion these days. If Cheng Sheng hadn't seduced you with Zhao Xinhan, would you not have planned to come out and play with us?"

Yan Chu and Cheng Sheng appeared on the court and were soon surrounded by several other teenagers, especially Yan Chu. They jumped up one by one, hooked his neck and put their shoulders around him. The weight of several people made it difficult for Yan Chu to move his body.

Their voices were not lowered. On the other side, not far away, the girls in vests and skirts listened to those words clearly.

"Xinhan, the school grass of No. 1 middle school likes you so much that you don't give a response?"

"It's the grass of No. 1 middle school, which has great charm and can't live out all the time. Only after listening to your name can we be asked out."

A group of girls were joking and laughing. Many girls looked at the beautiful girl who was standing in the center by the stars and the moon. If they also had such a skin bag, I'm afraid they were the ones who fell in love with the school grass now. The world is really unfair.

Zhao Xinhan listened to his friends, but couldn't laugh.

Zhang Chu's appearance is good, but her family is average. Such a boy is not her favorite type, but the girl's vanity makes her enjoy the pursuit of each other. Therefore, she has never given Zhang Chu a definite answer during this period of time.

Unfortunately, the other party's appearance is really one of the best. If the other party's family background can be better, she is willing to have a try with him.

Zhao Xinhan looked at the young man who was still green and astringent. He lowered his face and his cheeks were slightly powdered. From the outside world, it was the best symbol of Lang Youqing's concubine's intention.
