MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 35 , A pair of prodigal sons (End)
At the end of the lunch market, Su Aobai sat at the dining table, receiving questioning questions from three pairs of eyes opposite him.
To the two elders, it should be the most unbelievable that his son actually owns ten properties in Binjiang. Where did he get the money? Even if they emptied out all of Su's family assets, they could only buy one of the suites at full price when Binjiang Garden just opened and the price was the lowest.
Did you do something illegal?
All the quicker ways to make money that Su Quangen could think of were written in the criminal law, and he couldn't help shivering. Could it be that his son's doing nothing all these years is actually his blindfold? In the dead of night, he put on his night clothes and wandered in the darkness of the city, robbing the rich and giving to the poor...
I've been too busy lately, the old man has watched a lot of hero movies, and his brain circuits have been taken astray.
"Son~"
Miao Yinhua's voice trembled.
"These ten suites... are all yours..."
How could it be less reliable than her son's cooking talent?
"That's right."
Su Aobai nodded.
"Where did you get the money to buy the house?"
Su Quangen hurriedly asked, did he really do something illegal?
Su Aobai had prepared for a long time, and put some of the bank statements transferred earlier, as well as the income from the stock trading account in those years, in front of his family.
"Didn't I tell you when I just graduated that I wanted to write a book? At the beginning, I didn't have any achievements. The book I wrote was not suitable for publication, but I always felt that I was a little talented in this area, so I persisted for many years. Later, I Married to Xiaoyuan's mother, when Xiaoyuan was born..."
Su Aobai paused, Su Tianyuan's birth also represented his mother's death, so the family has been avoiding his birthday in recent years.
"A few years after Xiaoyuan was born, Internet literature began to implement the VIP system, and started charging for subscriptions. I thought, my book would not be successful in investing in real entities, so I might as well vote in literature websites. I didn't expect it to actually succeed. Although the results are not particularly good, there are still some people who subscribe, and I update a lot every day, so I can earn a lot in a month."
Su Aobai paused for a while and then said.
The old couple looked at each other. At the beginning when the son said that he wanted to write a novel, they didn't believe it. They just thought it was an excuse that the son didn't want to go to work. Pampered.
Unexpectedly, his son really made money, but he never said it.
Su Tianyuan was even more depressed, because since he was a child, he heard gossip from people around him that his father was a waste, so he knew to ask for money from his grandparents, so Su Tianyuan actually looked down on his father in his heart.
Even after he became the same person as him, Su Tianyuan felt that he was better than his father.
It wasn't until later that his father changed his normal routine and began to help his grandparents in the kitchen, and began to show his excellent talent in cooking, so that Su Tianyuan changed his attitude and began to face up to this man he called his father. man.
But he didn't understand, since his dad wasn't the kind of person that others said, why did he hide it from his family? Could it be that he really wanted him to live an ordinary life for the reason he just broadcast live?
Su Tianyuan frowned into an embarrassing word. He had no common sense, and he would never feel that he had lived an ordinary life before. People are being taken advantage of and coaxed, just to make him spend more money.
"In the beginning, I didn't want to hide it, but at that time I just made money, so I used it to speculate in stocks."
Su Aobai pointed to the securities account.
The old couple nodded, so what does this have to do with hiding from them?
"During that time, Dad was at home talking about the harm of stocks every day."
Su Aobai looked at old man Su.
Those few years were the most prosperous time for the stock market, and it was also a turning point for the stock market. No matter how fierce the stock market rose before, it would fall as badly as it fell later. During that time, almost even the small vendors in the vegetable market knew that stocks made money, and the money came easily. Hurry up, as if it was taken for nothing, many gamblers even increased leverage in order to make a fortune.
Who knew that the stock market would change so quickly, almost overnight, most of the money that countless people invested in the stock market evaporated, and countless people went bankrupt.
During that time, two of the people they knew committed suicide because they owed a lot of debts for stock trading, and their wives and children who remained in this world couldn't please them, because the man who was red-eyed for stock trading not only owed a lot of money to the bank, When the stock market plummeted, I firmly believed that this was only temporary. I wanted to borrow money to buy the bottom, but the money I borrowed from the usury was not repaid. Even if I died, my wife and children would still be chased by the loan sharks. Who died to pay off their debts, and at that time, the law and order were not as good as they are now, which really forced the family to sell their blood and kidneys in exchange for debts.
Both Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua are timid and seek safety, so when everyone is talking about stocks, they are more willing to put their money in the bank to earn interest. Such a terrible thing happened to the people around them. It made the two elders keep secret about stock trading.
Su Quangen once warned his son, you don’t have to go to work, you can eat and drink at home, these family members can afford it, but you can’t gamble, you can’t whoring, you can’t do illegal things, in the definition of the two elders, play Stocks are a form of gambling.
Until now, maybe because they have seen a lot, the two elders gradually feel that it is possible to use a proper part of the money to invest in stocks, but it must also be under the condition that they cannot play gambling-like leverage.
When Su Aobai mentioned it, the old couple immediately remembered that under such circumstances, it was normal for the son not to dare to speak up.
Su Quangen wanted to educate a few words, how dare he be so bold at that time, but judging from the account, his son did not lose money, on the contrary, he made a lot of money in the stock market, and he did not have the position to teach him a lesson.
"In the beginning, I thought I would tell you guys after I made more money, but then I felt that more money and less money are just numbers, and it didn't seem to change our family's life. Slowly, I forgot about it. "
His attitude is that of a bachelor, can he forget about earning so much money?
But after thinking about it, this is indeed something their son can do.
Su Aobai used to have a regular schedule, eat and sleep, wake up to play, eat when hungry, play when full, sleep after playing, anyway, except for eating and going to the bathroom, he can stay in his room all the time , Most of all consumption is online, such as reading novels and buying game props.
In the past, his old couple brought those snacks back together in boxes and boxes when they bought goods. Now it is more convenient to shop online, and they often don’t leave the door once for several months.
He hardly ever needs to use cash. The old couple transfer a sum of money to his bank card every month, and the expenses on the Internet are directly deducted from the bank card. This bank card is bound to the main card of Su Quangen. , The old couple rushed in when they had no money, because the expenses were always within their acceptable range, so they never mentioned to their son to let him control his expenses.
In this case, Su Aobai would not need his own money at all.
Saying I forgot...Maybe, probably...It's also possible...
Looking back now, after my son made money from live broadcasting, he signed up for a tour group for them, but from the beginning to the end, the son never said that this was the first time he used the money he earned.
What were his original words at that time?
"Mom and Dad, you haven't gone out to have fun in your life, so just let your son do his filial piety. You see, I have also reported my name. The 20,000 yuan is the first money my son has earned from live broadcasting." Woolen cloth."
The first sum of money earned from live streaming was not the first sum of money earned in this life.
So their son is actually very promising, earning a lot of money by writing novels, and bought a lot of houses!
"Actually, I've earned so much money and bought so many houses, but it doesn't seem to help our family's life. Anyway, I only spend so much money when I'm at the top. I live a happy life, so I'm writing After a few years of studying, I started to rest, and I lived those years in a muddle. It was not until some time ago that I found out that my parents are really old, so I wondered whether I should learn the handicrafts handed down from my family. Let me forgive my father's regret."
Su Aobai added another sentence.
"What regrets? What regrets do I have?"
Su Quangen didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. He didn't have any obsession with his craft. After all, he had only learned half a bucket of water before he found the notebook left by his father. To pass on the craftsmanship, he learned it seriously when his father was still alive.
For Su Quangen, cooking is purely for making money.
"Dad, don't you like cooking?"
Su Aobai's expression was more surprised than his.
"Otherwise, the family is not short of money, why do you and mom still open a small restaurant? I thought it was your hobby, just like I used to like to eat, eat and sleep."
His chubby big round face is full of sincerity.
Yes, although the rent in Xijiang was not that high in the past, the prices were not high at that time. Mr. Su worked as a chef in a state-owned restaurant, and he was rich in oil and water. He was the only son of Su Quangen, and he left behind a lot of good things. Coupled with the rent, the family really doesn't have to worry about food and drink at all, not to mention just one Su Aobai, even five can afford it.
But how could the old couple have the nerve to say that it was because they felt that he was too worthless and wanted to save him a richer family fortune. Later, the grandson also followed his father's example, so he had to save two family fortunes. The old man felt a little flustered Don't the couple work hard to make money like old scalpers?
Is he love? No, it's responsibility!
But they couldn't say this answer, so the two elders blushed and managed to squeeze out a word for a long time.
"That's right, yes, I like it!"
Su Quangen looked at his son, then at his grandson. That's right, he loves cooking to death.
"Now that you have learned all the skills at home, and Xiao Yuan has also started to learn, I feel really relieved."
Let the son have this beautiful mistake in his heart.
Now the two elders have no grudges in their hearts. The son really doesn't care about the money he earns. He feels that it has not changed the life of the family. It's not that he is disrespectful to them. The craftsmanship is not wasted, no, when they found out that they were too old to work, they immediately stood up and used the first money they earned from the live broadcast to sign them up for a tour group, which shows that the son is still filial.
Who is willing to blame a filial and promising son?
*****
In the middle of the night, Su Tianyuan couldn't sleep, so he left his room and came to the balcony of the living room on the third floor. The summer night was still hot, and there were many noisy sounds from the air conditioner in his ears.
Su Tianyuan's mood was not very peaceful.
His father's remarks at noon today convinced his grandparents, but they didn't convince him, and instead made his mood more complicated.
Suddenly, the sound of a lighter rang from beside his ears, and his father was sitting next to him at some point, holding a lighted cigarette in his hand.
His father glanced at him, then took another cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to him, Su Tianyuan took it subconsciously.
"Smelly boy, don't learn from the good ones and learn from the bad ones. Don't you know that smoking is harmful to your health?"
What he received was not cigarettes, but a big slap from his father. Su Tianyuan held the back of the slapped head and looked at the man angrily, baring his teeth.
He is fishing law enforcement!
But Su Tianyuan did know how to smoke, he learned it from his cronies, he didn't have a big smoking habit, so he only smoked a few cigarettes when he was with those friends.
"Forget it, in order to set an example for you kid, I will quit this thing in the future."
With that said, Su Aobai extinguished the lit cigarette in his hand, as if he had made a huge sacrifice.
Seeing his expression of reluctance and pain because he wanted to quit smoking, Su Tianyuan was suddenly a little happy.
His dad is willing to quit smoking for him, which shows that his dad cares about him.
etc! Does his dad smoke?
Su Tianyuan stared at Lao Tzu beside him, he was tricked again.
"If you have the ability, give up carbonated drinks!"
Su Tianyuan said angrily, this is the big baby his dad can't live without every day.
When Su Aobai heard the words, he looked around and said to him, but he didn't mention the matter of quitting carbonated drinks.
"Part of what I said to your grandparents at noon is true, and part of it is because I fooled your grandparents."
The father and son laughed and laughed for a while, and Su Aobai's expression suddenly became much more serious.
He turned his head and looked deeply at his son's side face.
"When you were young, I basically didn't care about you... At first, it was because I couldn't accept your mother's death. Later, I didn't know how to get along with you..."
This is the first time he talked to his son about the past.
In Su Tianyuan's childhood, the original body was undoubtedly dereliction of duty. He almost never hugged this son. The first time Su Tianyuan spoke, he called grandma, and the first time he learned to walk was also with the support of the second elder. , the first time I went to kindergarten, and the first time I was invited by the teacher to parents, all without the participation of the original body.
Part of the reason is because his wife died in childbirth in order to give birth to this child, and part of the reason is that the original body has not grown up yet, subconsciously avoiding his responsibilities as a father.
"You were only so big when you were just born. When I held you in my arms, I felt that your bones were soft. It seemed that a little force would crush you. So when you cried, I felt that it was possible. It was I who hurt you, I dare not hug you..."
Su Aobai looked up at the starry sky, chattering about the past, not knowing whether to tell Su Tianyuan or to himself.
"I don't know how to be a father, and I'm not a qualified father, so you should blame me, because I never cared about you."
"But Xiaoyuan, I really don't know how to be a good father. It's not because I don't love you as a son. When I just made the first money, I wanted to buy you the most expensive The most expensive toys, the most expensive clothes, but I am afraid that if I spoil you like this, I will hurt you in the end. Do you still remember your Uncle Wang? suicide."
What Su Aobai said is also an example around him. The other party used to live in a village in the city, but later that family became rich in the 1990s and moved away from here, but the couple still often come back with their children and old neighbors. show off.
The children in that family were the same age as Su Aobai, and while most families were already well off with a motorcycle, that family had already bought three cars, lived in a villa, and had several nannies to take care of them.
The children in that family were also raised delicately, they only drank mineral water, ate western restaurants, and when they were seven or eight years old, they had to be hugged by a nanny when they walked.
Later, when the child was less than 30 years old, the family went bankrupt, and everything was taken back to pay off the debt, leaving only the house in the old lady's name in the village in the city, so the family moved back in despair. .
Most of the people living in this area are relatively kind, even if they gossip, they will not go to them, but the son of the Wang family still couldn't stand the gap in life, so he chose to jump off the building.
At that time, Su Tianyuan was only six or seven years old, but he was already sensible. At that time, this incident caused a sensation. The mother of the person who committed suicide eventually became crazy because of the death of her son. Occasionally, her family would not watch her. She ran out and asked everyone she met if she saw her son. It was time to go home for dinner.
Su Tianyuan was once regarded as his son by that crazy woman, and when she was hugged by her, Su Tianyuan cried in fright.
"So I don't dare to raise you too well, because I'm not sure if I can support you for a lifetime with such a good life. When you grow up like me, being ordinary is not necessarily happiness."
Su Aobai continued.
It was ordinary again, the corner of Su Tianyuan's mouth twitched, he really wanted to wake his dad up, even if it was like that, it's not ordinary at all, okay?
It can be seen that his father is more idiot than him in some respects.
At this time, Su Tianyuan himself didn't realize that his expression relaxed a lot, because in his father's description, he seemed to see an image of an uneasy and nervous father who didn't know how to be a good father. It's not that he doesn't care about himself, on the contrary, he once planned his life so carefully.
In fact, Su Tianyuan lacks love. The care and love of his grandparents cannot replace his parents. In the absence of a mother, the love and care given by his father is extremely rare. This identity is not even as strong as that of his nearby playmates.
Su Tianyuan still felt that his father had neglected his duties, but he felt relieved.
"I've always thought that when you're more mature, I'll tell you these family backgrounds. Who knows, I wholeheartedly hoped that you would grow up like me, but you somehow grew up to be a big fool."
As he said that, Su Aobai looked at his son beside him with resentful eyes.
Ordinary again! Su Tianyuan was about to beg him not to use this word, and suddenly noticed that the last sentence in his father's mouth was even more annoying. How could he be such a fool?
"Is not it?"
Speaking of this matter, Su Aobai was confident.
"Do you dare to say that you haven't been coaxed by others for a lot of money? When you said you were going to do a live broadcast, I knew that you must have been coaxed again. How could you think that you have good conditions and are suitable for being an Internet celebrity, but want to train you? Want you to pay a large amount of money? You didn’t do any research in the early stage, and you foolishly offered money based on someone’s words. If you are like this, if you suddenly give you a large amount of money, I’m afraid you will be shocked. You can be cheated out of a little bit, and you still think they are doing it for your own good."
Su Tianyuan felt guilty, because he was indeed deceived by Zhang Lang, not only Zhang Lang deceived him, but also his cronies.
"From that time on, I realized that although you are my son, and although we were all brought up by your grandparents, we are two independent people, even if we use the same method, we will grow into different personalities , I am your father, I have evaded my responsibilities for more than twenty years, but now, I can no longer ignore your education, I must find a way to let you see those people around you clearly. "
Su Tianyuan also knew what happened after that.
His chest was unexplainably tight, it turned out that his father's sudden change was all because of him!
At this moment, Su Tianyuan felt that he was extremely important.
After that, neither of them said a word, just sat quietly on the balcony for more than ten minutes.
During this period, whenever Su Tianyuan finished brewing his feelings and wanted to say something, he would be interrupted by the sound of Su Aobai slapping a mosquito.
"Pa-pa-pa-"
It was another triple hit, and Su Tianyuan was helpless. Sure enough, his father's natural sense of humor was not suitable for being hypocritical with him.
"Dad! You must be a good father in the future, you know?"
Su Tianyuan stood up, he didn't want to feed the mosquitoes either.
"Then you should also be a good son."
Looking at the slowly rising favorability, Su Aobai knew that the boy's heart settlement had been solved.
Just as the two left the balcony and were about to go back to their respective rooms, Su Tianyuan suddenly stopped him.
"Dad, you shouldn't be hiding anything from me this time, right? Our family... just those ten houses?"
Su Tianyuan thought about the speculations of netizens on the Internet, and felt that his father might still have some family background, but he wasn't coveting his father's money, he was just curious.
"Probably not..."
As he was talking, his favorability slowly climbed from 73 to 79. After passing the 75 level, he was only one step away from 80.
After the favorability broke through 75, there was another stack of red books in the space, this time it was a shop.
"It should be, there is still a little..."
Su Aobai glanced at his son quietly, how much wealth he can have depends on you.
besides!
Su Tianyuan clutched his little heart.
"Dad, don't tell me first, or I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back."
With all the family background he knows now, it is already a miracle that he can still stay in the kitchen and learn his skills, so it is better not to tell him.
His father is indeed very powerful, and he has nothing. If he wants to catch up with his father, he must work harder.
Su Tianyuan silently cheers for himself, from now on, his father is the target of his pursuit.
How did the silly boy know that those red books all came from him.
*****
Back in the room, Su Tianyuan turned on his phone and found that Fetion had a lot of friend applications. Looking at the profile pictures, it turned out that they were the people who had deleted his friends before.
They may have read news about his family on the Internet and found that he was richer than they thought, so they wanted to add them back as friends.
Originally, Su Tianyuan didn't want to pay attention to him. Could it be that he was the one they could add friends to and delete friends they wanted?
But he couldn't forget the grievance at the beginning, and finally chose to pass.
That kind of aggrieved feeling cannot be borne by him alone.
The other party may have been waiting for him with his mobile phone, and sent a long edited message as soon as the friend added back.
It turned out that they suddenly became friends not because of something on the Internet, but because his father sued these friends who had borrowed money from him but failed to repay it.
Although the two parties did not have an IOU, there was proof that he used his bank card for consumption, and those lawyers were so powerful that they even got some videos of the consumption in the store. The sound of their conversation at that time.
When paying, his friends said that they forgot to bring the money, or that they didn't have enough money, so he said that he would use his money first.
This first word shows that it is only given to them temporarily, and it does not mean that they do not have to return it, so it is a loan, not a gift.
Although it is impossible to get back all the money lent to them over the years, most of the money in recent months can still be obtained.
Those friends of his didn't know that they were afraid until they saw that he was serious, and they wanted him to give him a period of time.
"Please, if you don't write a five-hundred-word essay, you won't be able to get through it, and you can't do without a single word."
Su Tianyuan only replied arrogantly to such a message.
On the opposite side soon there was a display that was inputting.
Those plastic friends thought that Su Tianyuan was still the big fool from before, as long as he wrote a few paragraphs to please him, the matter would be over, and they racked their brains to organize the words with their mobile phones.
After finally gathering 500 words and sending them, a bright red exclamation mark appeared on the dialog box.
【***Friend verification is turned on, you are not his (her) friend yet, please send a friend verification request first, and the other party can only chat after verification】
Fuck!
Looking at the red exclamation mark one by one, my brain is buzzing.
Su Tianyuan threw the phone away, thinking that they had the same confused and angry expressions as he did back then, he felt refreshed, and he will definitely be able to sleep well today.
*****
The Sujia snack shop is getting more and more popular, and the price of the food in the shop has not increased because of this, because everyone knows that the boss is not short of money, and he only opened the shop because he loves to cook.
The old couple has really retired, and they hang out with old friends from time to time, while Su Tianyuan honestly learns cooking from his father.
However, he started a bit late, and with no external support, when Su Aobai retired, he would have inherited 70% to 80% of his abilities.
But such a gap is already very small, except for some gourmets with sensitive tongues, it is difficult for ordinary people to taste the difference.
Su Tianyuan got married when he was 30 years old, and his partner was a diner who often appeared in the restaurant. Because he fell in love with Su Aobai's cooking, he even liked Su Tianyuan, a silly white sweet , the two gave birth to a daughter after they got married. This granddaughter unexpectedly possesses a talent that is not weaker than Su Aobai's. Similarly, she also inherited her mother's hobby of eating, so from a very young age, she followed her father in the kitchen Here, he perfectly inherited Su Aobai's mantle.
In the year when Su Aobai retired, Su Tianyuan still failed to take over as the head chef because he was usurped by his daughter.
The Sujia Snack Shop is still just a small restaurant, but after changing the manager, occasionally the boss will go out of business for a few days, because everyone knows that the boss has a rich family, and cooking is just a sideline.
Perhaps one day, a certain generation of descendants will change their hobbies and close this small shop. Perhaps one day, a certain generation of descendants will change the original intention of the elders, expand the scale of the restaurant, and become a chain restaurant brand. Everyone can say what will happen in the future No, but many people in this generation will remember how much delicious experience this small food shop brought them.
The author has something to say:
Sure enough, writing novels is an irresistible factor for disturbed work and rest, and now it has become a work and rest for going to bed late and waking up late. I used to work out during the day, but now I work out at night, so I still have to work hard to adjust my work and rest (oooh, it’s too difficult). Now I'm going to finish coding the rest of the article next door
