MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 130 , the last lesson of being a father (5)
"Brother, you are here, sit down quickly, let us brothers have a few more drinks later, Pengfei, you sit with your younger brothers and sisters, just to teach you brother Pengcheng, the bigger this kid is, the more disobedient he is, yelling every day How old is he when he buys a mobile phone, what kind of mobile phone do you buy when you are studying, playing with things and losing your mind, as long as he is half as obedient as you, I will be satisfied."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a suit who looked mature and elegant. This was Su Liubai, the younger brother of the original body. He worked in a private company. 500,000, life is quite affluent. Standing beside him is an elegant and well-dressed woman. This is Su Liubai's wife, Wen Fang. She used to be a kindergarten teacher. After giving birth, she chose to quit her job and work at home. A full-time housewife, it may be her previous work experience, which makes her look very gentle and amiable.
Both Yuanshen and his younger brother Su Liubai strictly followed the national policy of family planning, and they only had one child. The child Su Liubai mentioned just now was his only son, Su Pengcheng.
This child is only one year younger than Su Pengfei, but because he went to school a year earlier, the two children are in the same class.
Su Pengcheng's grades far surpassed that of his brother Su Pengfei. He studied in Jianqing Middle School, which is one of the best middle schools in Hangzhou. In the top fifty, it can be said that one foot has already entered the best high school.
What he said just now seemed to be reminding his son to be well-behaved and sensible, but the pride and satisfaction on his face never went down.
"Second brother, don't say that. We Pengcheng are such smart children. When I was at home, I kept telling Lan Lan and Jingjing that I must study with their second cousin, study hard, and get admitted to a famous university in the future."
No, someone will do the eye-popping right away.
When Su Aobai brought the child over, the rest of the people had already arrived. The one who was talking was the original sister, Su Qinbai. She was a bit fat, and she liked to wear colorful clothes and gold and silver jewelry. She looked rich and powerful.
Su Qinbai and her husband Li Yong opened a specialty product company. Hangzhou is also a tourist city. The couple have a good income these years, so they are a little arrogant. When relatives gather, they especially like to point out the country.
Li Lanlan and Li Jingjing are a pair of twin sisters, and they are also the darlings of the couple. In order to raise these two children, they spent a lot of energy and money.
"Little girl, don't say that, what's the difference between Lan Lan and Jing Jing? One dance is good, and I was on Douyin a while ago when I saw the dance video you took for Lan Lan, and there are hundreds of thousands of likes." , and a teacher from the attached dance middle school left a message to Lan Lan, saying that she is a good candidate for dancing, not to mention Jingjing, how good calligraphy is, and the couplet posted on the door of our family's New Year's Eve last year was written by Jingjing. "
Wen Fang's voice was delicate and soft, but everything she said entered the hearts of Su Qinbai and Li Yong.
It's true that their daughter is not good at school, but the couple enrolled their daughter in various remedial classes early on, and when the two children are a little older, they focus on one aspect of training according to their respective performances.
Now one of the two children is learning to dance and the other is learning calligraphy. The teachers who teach them praise the children for their aura. Usually, the couple also like to take some videos of the children dancing and drawing and upload them on the Internet. In addition, the two children are twins with exactly the same appearance. Now, there are quite a few fans, and they occasionally receive some small advertisements, earning thousands of dollars.
This has always been something the couple are proud of. Now that the second sister-in-law has boasted, they are of course happy.
"I'm not being humble anymore. Lan Lan and Jing Jing are really up to date."
Li Yong was just as fat as his wife Su Qinbai, sitting on a chair, his big beer belly almost covered the belt, his voice was also very loud, and there was an echo in the private room, making people's ears buzzing.
"Let me tell you, if Pengcheng wants the second brother with a mobile phone, you can satisfy him. This kid is smart and knows how to measure. Besides, it is inconvenient to do anything without a mobile phone these days. If Pengcheng wants to check information every time It’s troublesome to ask both of you to borrow mobile phones, isn’t it? I bought them for Lan Lan and Jingjing early on. As an enlightened parent, you should also learn to trust your children.”
Li Yong, who is usually a big boss, speaks eloquently now, and even engages in democratic education.
"Hey, you've said that, so I'll buy it for him. In fact, it's my fault. I agreed before that I'll buy him a mobile phone when he enters the top 30 in the monthly exam. More than 40 or 50 people wandered around, and they couldn't meet this requirement for a while, who knew that the children really wanted to buy a mobile phone, and they were willing to study for an extra half an hour every day, and their grades improved dramatically."
Su Liubai's face was almost full of complacency.
"Pengcheng entered the top 30 in this exam, but Jianqing's top 30. It's amazing."
"I said that Pengcheng is smart, and he can improve by more than a dozen if he studies a little more every day. If you control him ruthlessly like big brother Guan Pengfei, wouldn't he be able to enter the top five in the school and become the number one in the high school entrance examination!"
Su Qinbai and Li Yong praised him again and again, and their reactions made Su Liubai and his wife very satisfied.
"Brother, I didn't mean you and Pengfei. Every child has different aptitudes. Oh no, although Pengfei's grades are average, this child is obedient. Now there are more children who are disobedient and do not learn well. Our Pengfei is much stronger than them."
As if realizing that there was something wrong with what he said just now, Li Yong hurriedly added a few words, although it was still not strange.
But what he said is indeed true.
Su Pengfei's grades were not as good as his cousin Su Pengcheng's.
"Pengcheng, did you hear what your aunt and uncle said? Dad will buy this phone for you since he agreed, but you have to make persistent efforts in the future. If your grades drop because of the phone, dad will confiscate it."
Su Liubai looked at his proudest son and said, and then quickly said to the people around him: "Sit down, the food is here."
The cold dishes were already on the table, just as the waiter came in with some hot dishes, Su Liubai quickly smoothed things over and called everyone to sit down and eat.
Su Pengfei lowered his head slightly, and the joy of the previous few days disappeared in an instant.
He hated this once-a-month family gathering.
In contrast, sisters Su Pengcheng and Li Lanlan sitting next to him are very different. As the pride held in the palms of their parents since childhood, the three siblings look confident and confident, and the agility revealed in their eyes is something Su Pengfei can't understand. In comparison, not only that, in appearance, the brothers and sisters who are cousins are also very different.
Su Pengfei's appearance and height are very mediocre. Su Pengcheng's height is inherited from his mother. He is one year younger than Su Pengfei, but he is nearly 20 centimeters taller than him. His facial features can't be said to be outstanding, but he cleans up on weekdays. Clean, with a confident expression on his brows and eyes, at a glance, he is a big and generous boy, let alone Li Lanlan and Li Jingjing, the first stepping stone to becoming famous on the Internet is the beautiful appearance of the two sisters.
To be honest, Su Pengfei stood with these three brothers and sisters, like an ugly duckling in a flock of swans, and a dwarf next to Snow White.
There was such a big gap in the first place, and coupled with the parents' comparisons at the party, Su Pengfei's inferiority complex was even heavier.
"Brother, you eat this fried squab, it's delicious."
The child is not as small as an adult, so Su Pengcheng put half a roasted squab into his cousin's bowl, and then leaned into the ear of the cousin on the other side and asked her what she wanted to eat, and whether she could get it.
He is really a very likable child, with a calm and generous personality, and Su Pengfei, an older brother, sometimes has to be taken care of by him.
Su Pengfei is very envious of his cousin's lively and outgoing personality. He is very popular, and he responds to everyone when he encounters troubles on weekdays. Unlike him, he has almost no friends.
Although Su Pengfei doesn't think making friends is an important thing, and he doesn't like the process of contacting and in-depth communication with strangers, but he knows that every parent likes a child like his cousin.
Several times Su Pengfei wanted to muster up the courage to change, but he failed in something as simple as taking the initiative to say the first sentence to a stranger in the class.
He really doesn't like socializing.
Su Pengfei ate the roasted squab without taste, feeling that he was really a disappointing child.
"Our Pengcheng is becoming more and more like a big brother."
Sure enough, Li Yong noticed this scene, and began to talk clichéd again.
That's right, besides talking about career, people of this age can only talk about children.
"On this point, Pengfei still has to learn from his younger brother. These days, not only must he be able to study, but he must also be able to do business. Otherwise, even if he gets into a good university and graduates in the future, it will be difficult to get ahead at work. Pengfei This kid, Cheng, looks promising."
Li Yong said carelessly.
"Brother, I'm not talking about you. You've quit your job these years to focus on raising your child at home, but you can't just stare at your child's study. Pengfei is a boy, so how can you be so introverted?"
In fact, the purpose of Li Yong's remark was not simply to compare the two children, he really felt that the boss's level of teaching the children was not good.
Su Qinbai tugged at her husband's sleeves under the table, making him almost finished. I don't know how much her elder brother wants to save face. When she goes back this time, she will probably force Pengfei to study again.
According to her, Pengfei might really not be good enough to study, otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten such grades under such a high-pressure education.
But her elder brother didn't believe in evil. Over the years, everyone persuaded and persuaded her. The second elder brother also found him a job, hoping that he could divert his attention from the child, but unfortunately, the elder brother refused.
What is Su Aobai's mood at this moment?
Vanity is a kind of human nature. Although many articles and film and television dramas praise the selflessness of fatherly love and motherly love, in reality, the love of parents for their children is mostly conditional.
This may also be related to the culture of Huaguo. The first motivation of some parents when they give birth to a child is not to bring a child to see the world, but with the purpose of getting rewards, giving and gaining, to a certain extent Raising children online is an investment.
Because of the blood relationship, because of the sad and happy process of raising you, your parents love you, but if you are good enough, they will love you even more, and the envy and praise of the people around you will deepen their love for you. , because the shame and trouble you bring will also reduce their expectations and patience for you.
This is human nature. The aura of parents will reduce the rapid emotional expression of this kind of humanity, but it does not mean that it does not exist. The love of parents for their children will also increase or decrease because of the child itself.
The same is true for the original body. Of course he loves this son, but facing such a huge contribution from himself and the disappointment that the child has brought him time and time again, he will also feel sad and resentful. Whenever he appears in this kind of family gathering, he looks at his brother The excellent sons and daughters cultivated by sisters, and seeing that they put in more effort than their younger siblings, their psychology becomes even more unbalanced.
Su Aobai looked at his son sitting opposite.
Ordinary, silent, stupid...the only advantage that can be obtained is the obedience of being submissive.
Su Aobai knew that he was now affected by the emotions left by his original body.
He suddenly understood that this was the easiest and hardest lesson of being a father—
Accept the mediocrity of children!
