20. Children travel thousands of miles!
Liu Shu looked at the chicken legs in the bowl and two braised fish, and felt a little scared!
Because the cause of his death in his previous life was gastric cancer. After one resection, he relapsed within two years, and a medical accident occurred during the second operation.
The reason why he didn't hate that doctor was not only because of his rebirth, but more importantly... the cancer recurred within two years, which basically means that it was beyond help, and the results were the same.
Looking back now, because I worked as a real estate agent in my previous life, my diet was very irregular. In addition, my family was not harmonious and my psychological pressure was too high and I could not be relieved, so I could only turn depression into appetite.
Moreover, he was either extremely hungry or overeating, coupled with extremely irregular work and rest, and long-term depression in his mood, which was the main reason why Liu Shu believed that he was sick.
So now, he was a little panicked when he saw this big fish and meat.
Fortunately, he was only 19 years old at that time, so it would be okay to have an occasional meal, not to mention that his father made braised fish... it was a little too delicious!
Seeing his son sweep away the dishes on the table and the rice in the rice cooker, the father smiled happily.
He originally wanted to talk to his son a little more, but the woman chased after another phone call...
"Everyone is here to see you, come back." It was still a cold order, and there was no doubt.
Liu Shu shrugged and said helplessly to his father: "Dad, I'll go to my mother's side and come back tonight."
"Okay." The father responded casually and began to clean up the dishes.
Liu Shu sighed and walked towards his mother's house again.
The county town is really small, so small that even if my mother lives in the suburbs and my father lives in the center of the county town, it is actually only a twenty-minute walk away.
After arriving at the place, Liu Shu looked at the three-story western-style building in front of him and felt a little emotional. The house was built in the first year of high school. It was a large area and also had a garden and a fish pond. It was considered a luxury house at that time.
This is the "her own home" in the strict sense. After all, his custody is in the hands of his mother. The only reason why the court ruled custody was that his mother was a formal employee of a state unit, and his father was just a laid-off worker.
God knows how many children are custody for these reasons?
***
Liu Shu rang the doorbell and someone soon opened the door. It was Zhao Yun, a cousin who was in high school in the local area.
"Brother, are you back?" Zhao Yun said with a smile. He was three years younger than Liu Shu and was only in the first year of high school.
"Well, but I'll leave tomorrow." Liu Shu said with a smile. He had a good relationship with Zhao Yun, so he would have a smile.
Then as soon as he entered the room, facing the relatives all over the room, the smile on his face became even stronger...
My mother, Chen Mei's family, has three girls and one boy. Life was very difficult when she was young.
Chen Meixing was old, and her parents left after overwork and illness when she was 16 years old. Liu Shu had never even seen his grandparents.
It is said that the elder brother is like his father, but Chen Mei, the elder sister, is not inferior at all. She recruited workers at the age of 16 and worked as an apprentice in the construction team, becoming a female electrician who is as rare as a giant panda.
By the age of 20, she had become the director of the power supply station.
This was very difficult for Chen Mei, who could only be considered a "girl" at that time.
But she can't do it if she doesn't fight hard. She has two sisters and a younger brother below, and is hungry for feeding!
It is precisely because of Chen Mei's efforts that her second sister Chen Lan joined the hardware company with her efforts and became the general manager all the way. She is now very glorious in the county town.
And Liu Shu also knew that his second aunt was lucky enough to be out of reach. She now lives in a self-built house in the center of the county town. In another two years, there will be demolished due to the renovation of the old city.
Chen Lan soared into the sky. With the relocation compensation, she collaborated with others to get the demolition land and become a developer, and later became the top boss in the county town.
And her son Zhao Yun drove a Porsche at the age of 20, free and happy!
The third aunt Chen Ju also lives very well. Although she is still just an attending doctor in the county hospital, in a few years, with Chen Lan's relationship after the rise, she became the director of the county hospital.
The youngest fourth uncle Chen Zhu, on the contrary, was young and his sisters started to earn wages and lived a worry-free life. After a few years of idle life, he drank and fought every day.
It was my elder sister Chen Mei who came forward and told him that a wife would restrain him, and then brought him into the power supply bureau where he was in, so he was considered to be cured. So my fourth uncle has settled down now and has a healthy and prosperous life.
Thinking of this, Liu Shu was speechless. Because her mother was a female electrician who was born from the construction team and her fourth uncle also came from the construction team, she naturally wanted to get herself in and mix up...
I really don't know how to adapt at all!
However, Liu Shu also knew that it was precisely because of his mother's efforts to be both a father and a mother that her sister and younger brother had a good life.
So when everyone is successful, even though the second aunt is much richer than her mother, even if the third aunt is much higher than her mother, she still respects her mother extremely.
This is the difference between mother and father. The brothers in the father's family are a mess, while the relatives in the mother's family are extremely united.
My mother is like the parents of this family, maintaining people and relationships in all aspects.
In addition, these relatives who grew up watching Liu Shu also love Liu Shu. The only difference is that their mother has never changed her harshness towards Liu Shu.
In his previous life, Liu Shu only started thinking about these things after getting married, thinking about what kind of person was his mother who was originally a bit disgusted by being overly strict?
It was not until the cancer recurred that Liu Shu suddenly realized that it was because his mother had too much hope for him!
Thinking back to the 20-year-old female director, how energetic and promising should my mother have in this small county?
But at that time, my mother fell a big fuss. She privately helped a manufacturer design and lay circuits, and earned several thousand yuan in extra money, but she was reported.
It was the early 1980s, and the ten-year catastrophe had just ended for a few years. Taking on private work was a very serious and serious matter, and a few thousand yuan was also a huge sum of money.
So my mother took a punishment and her career was stained.
It is this stain that nailed my mother to this level for the rest of her life and she would never make any progress.
"Maybe it is precisely because of this that my mother is so strict with herself, right? Because she has really suffered and suffered losses, she is even more worried about her mistakes..." Liu Shu thought to herself, while she was dealing with various inquiries from her relatives.
I heard my second aunt Chen Lan say, "Xiaoshu is quite sensible and knows that he will continue to take the self-study exam. I am not afraid of not passing the college entrance examination, and it is the same for self-study exams."
"Isn't it?" said Chen Ju, the third aunt. "Now, the self-study diploma is even harder than an ordinary university diploma, because the difficulty of self-study is actually more difficult than an ordinary university exam."
The fourth uncle Chen Zhu said, "Xiaoshu, I heard your mother say you will go to Anjiang to work tomorrow? Are you not at home to rest? I will take you to the countryside for a picnic and barbecue!"
Everyone said everything, and they were basically words of comfort and praise, which made Liu Shu feel a little strange.
Because my father's uncles also called me yesterday and I was a little concerned, but the meaning of being harsh is even more obvious.
It’s not that there is anything wrong with criticizing him for being unsuccessful, but now it looks a bit harsh with the comparison...
What's more, after graduating from the Adult Education College for two years in his previous life, his second aunt Chen Lan had already received the demolition payment and started working in real estate.
At that time, she was worried about herself and deliberately asked her to ask Liu Shu to go back to her hometown to help her.
And she said it very hard at that time and told Liu Shu that as long as she came back, she would not dare to say more for a year, and that one or two million would definitely make him profit!
It’s just that Liu Shu himself had the idea of “If you can’t do well, you won’t go back” and refused to agree.
Including Liu Shu later got married and bought a house in the provincial capital. It was also the second aunt Chen Lan and third aunt Chen Ju who "borrowed" him a lot of money, and kept silent about the interest, let alone the time for return.
All these...
The vast differences between the two families made Liu Shu understand the difference between the so-called "duty" and "love".
So even though my father was very dissatisfied with his third uncle, Liu Shu didn't feel much. It was just that the water in the well would not interfere with the river.
At the end of the development, Liu Shu even had an idea: "In this world, no one, even parents, does not owe you. All kindness must be remembered in your heart and you must find a way to repay it. As for the others, as long as it does not harm you, it will be considered a duty."
It was this idea that supported Liu Shu's crazy job, and he also got the money he "borrowed" by his aunts, bought a car for his mother who had been reluctant to leave, and a house for his father who had been living in...
The price is the collapse of one's own body.
"In this life, you have to do what you should do, but it shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Liu Shu thought, and was suddenly pulled.
I saw my second aunt Chen Lan take out a red envelope and say, "Xiaoshu, no matter what, it is a good thing for you to continue studying. Self-study exams are also college, which is my second aunt's wish."
As she said that, she stuffed the red envelope into Liu Shu's hands without saying a word.
The third aunt and the fourth uncle immediately followed suit and took out their own red envelopes and gave them to him.
"Aunt, uncle... It's really no need! I can make money myself!" Liu Shu hurriedly refused, but he still accepted it in everyone's unquestionable order.
Then everyone chatted for a while, continued to encourage Liu Shu, and then left one after another, leaving only the mother and son.
Chen Mei leaned on the sofa and said seriously: "You can take the money in these red envelopes yourself, just treat it as travel expenses, and I won't give you the other money."
"Oh." Liu Shu responded, thinking that his mother is really a person who can ruin the scenery.
"Whether to sleep at home or go to your father's place at night?" Chen Mei asked again.
"Go to my dad's place." Liu Shu replied.
"Have you bought the ticket? Do you want your aunt to keep the ticket for you?" My aunt works at the station, so when her family wants to go out, they ask her aunt to help, so as to save queues.
Liu Shu nodded.
Chen Mei glanced at him expressionlessly, stood up and said, "Remember to turn off the lights when you go out and lock the door."
After saying that, she went upstairs and said nothing more.
When we parted in the previous life, we had similar scenes and words, but Liu Shu was hurt by his mother's indifferent attitude in the previous life, but now he can understand...
Just as he was about to go out, his mother suddenly walked down again.
"You can take this, be careful when you are outside." Chen Mei still handed something to her son with an expressionless face.
It's a dagger!
This is something that never happened in the previous life. Because the last time I left was about to start school, I went to school when I arrived in Anjiang.
But this time I have to wander outside for a while now...
Liu Shu suddenly felt a little sore in his nose. He remembered that because his mother lived alone in this small foreign house and was in the suburbs of the city, he was visited by a thief two or three times, and he was still there when there were people at home!
Liu Shu had seen this dagger. It was the first time that he was visited by a thief. His mother had been placed on the head of the bed and had a sharp edge!
She is not as gentle as an ordinary woman, but on the contrary she is extremely strict.
Everything is just because she has experienced so much...
She resisted this family, but didn't know how to teach her son all these, so she could only tell her son with the most direct and practical actions that the world is not so friendly!
Wenyuan County is more than 500 kilometers away from Anjiang City...
How can a mother not worry if her son travels thousands of miles?
