Chapter Twelve
After hearing the words, Chu Jiadong was stunned for a few seconds. He glanced at the phone on the table subconsciously, and immediately understood what the eldest son was talking about.
He showed an awkward smile, rubbed his hands anxiously, and whispered: “I’ll just take a look…”
Chu Jiadong has the habit of reading Chu Xiaoyi’s news, but he didn’t expect to be caught by the boss, and he was a little at a loss.
Chu Xiaoyi was both angry and funny: “Do you also go to that kind of Weibo specifically?
I don’t see that you are trendy, and you can search for abbreviations? ”
Of course, Chu Xiaoyi knew his father’s true meaning in searching for himself. The other party was caring for himself in this way, but he did not expect that Chu Jiadong would search for “cxy” directly.
Normal people will go through the star square on Weibo. Basically, only people in the fan circle understand the mystery, and follow the vine to find the spot where the sunspots gather.
Chu Xiaoyi: As soon as he shoots, he is the old world, and he can still find the black fan leader!
Chu Jiadong saw that his elder son hadn’t jumped into a rage, and said hurriedly: “No, no, I see both good and bad…”
Chu Xiaoyi persuaded: “Don’t read those Weibo in the future, you will feel bad after reading it.”
Chu Jiadong: “No, I have a very good mentality. I don’t care about the kind of cursing people. If there is a misunderstanding, I will explain a few words…”
Chu Xiaoyi couldn’t laugh or cry: “Why are you still explaining to netizens?”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t say my true identity!”
Chu Jiadong vowed, “They misunderstand you because they don’t understand you, of course I have to explain.
It’s their business to believe it or not, and it’s mine to say it or not. ”
Chu Xiaoyi was dumb for a while. He always thought that his father didn’t understand him at all, but he didn’t expect that the other party would one day say “They don’t understand you”.
His heart softened, thinking that his father’s actions were both funny and cute?
Seeing that his elder son was still in a calm mood, Chu Jiadong said earnestly, “I know you don’t want to explain, because you are still relatively young in the circle, and you always want to make some achievements and you will be recognized naturally.
But it takes time for your efforts to be fulfilled. Before that, you have to be sleek and exquisite, or you will suffer a lot. ”
“Some people don’t care what you can do, they only care about your attitude.
I have seen many of your interviews. Sometimes you love to be true, and you care if you care, and you lose. ”
When Chu Xiaoyi heard the words, he was struck by lightning. He looked at his eloquent father and suddenly remembered He Xin’s advice to him.
He Xin said that he “does not hit the south wall and does not look back”. He is a desperate job at work, but he is always messed up in interviews, and his communication ability seriously hinders his business ability.
Chu Xiaoyi’s acting skills and singing and dancing in the same period are considered to be excellent (although that’s the case in the eyes of his younger sister), but every time he caused trouble due to his own gaffes, he was seized by the opportunity to be crazy.
His own black spots are actually quite limited. His only weakness is his high school education, but now that a lot of low-educated celebrities have caught a lot of them, it is not a heinous crime.
He Xin is a member of the entertainment industry, but as a complete layman, Chu Jiadong’s precise instructions are really surprising.
Chu Xiaoyi was surprised: “Why do you say that?”
Chu Jiadong smiled and said: “I have been at your stage before. After graduating from university, I was assigned to the unit, and then came up as the cadres in the unit. Other people naturally looked uncomfortable.
At that time, veteran employees couldn’t be a cadre after many years, but the Maotou boy was parachuted as a leader. Who would feel comfortable in his heart? ”
“You can’t go head-to-head with this kind of person. There are always people who can’t climb up by themselves and just want to drag others into the water.
Even if others talk about your unworthiness, you can just smile on your face and do what you should do in private, and even occasionally retreat to advance, allowing future generations to comment on your good or bad. ”
Chu Jiadong is a person who has experienced many historical points in time. Their generation has experienced turbulence and prosperity, and their understanding of the world has also undergone multiple rounds of reorganization, which is different from today’s Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Xiaoxiao.
At that time, the old man in the unit looked at Chu Jiadong, who had graduated from university, and only thought that he was a kid who had been studying for two years and became a cadre, and he didn’t look at him at all.
When Chu Jiadong started working, he really couldn’t immediately understand the situation of his unit. Not only were his subordinates older than himself, they even had more experience, but they had less education than him.
Chu Jiadong couldn’t provoke the old fritters, and he had to ask the other party for advice.
Of course, Chu Jiadong quickly surpassed this group of old people. On the surface, he looked honest and temperless, but in fact he was swimming like a duck. The duck webs were desperately paddling under the water, leaving the others behind him fiercely.
In that era, no one could say that qualifications were important or academic qualifications were important.
Chu Jiadong worked in the unit and resigned to start the company. He took a lot of risks at the time and faced various criticisms. Of course, he learned valuable lessons from them.
It was the first time that Chu Xiaoyi heard his father share his life experience, and he felt a very strange feeling in his heart.
He seemed to have never had a good communication with his father, and couldn’t help but said, “But they always say a lot of bad things…”
Chu Xiaoyi can’t describe “online violence” and can only use more euphemistic terms.
Chu Jiadong: “It’s normal, because I want to deliberately disgust you.
My old unit can’t open people up to now, and you have to bear it in your heart. See you when you look up.
You are talking online now, and we even talking in person at that time! ”
Chu Xiaoyi showed a thoughtful look. He had never heard of his father’s difficulties or experiences in the past.
Chu Jiadong never shared his troubles outside with his children. He just ran silently to support his family. He belonged to a traditional and typical father.
His way of expressing love is very simple. He thinks that making money allows his family to live a good life. There is no concept of communication.
“Of course, you can listen to some…” Chu Jiadong hesitated for a long time, still whispering, “Xiao Yi, otherwise you should take a college entrance examination.”
Of course, Chu Jiadong saw the sunspots attacking Chu Xiaoyi’s academic qualifications, which was also his long-standing knot.
Chu Xiaoyi’s full of tenderness was instantly smashed by these words. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, without wanting to destroy the harmonious atmosphere, and muttered: “No, it doesn’t do much to me.”
Chu Jiadong hadn’t noticed the change in his elder son’s expression, and said, “How come it’s not that big?
I think a lot of stars go to film academy, and they are still on the hot search for art exams? ”
Chu Jiadong doesn’t expect the eldest son to have a high degree of education, but he always feels that somehow he needs a university experience, even an art school.
Chu Xiaoyi was a little upset: “I was admitted to the senior high school. I’m already 23 years old. What university is still going to be admitted?”
Chu Xiaoyi really didn’t understand his father’s dedication to academic qualifications. Some child stars like to use the art test results to advertise themselves. Many people rarely attend classes after entering school and spend a long time outside filming activities.
In that case, why does he have to get a college diploma?
Chu Xiaoyi could imagine how miserable he would be laughed at by the black man on the Internet if he retakes the university entrance examination, it is simply a laugh.
Chu Jiadong narrowed his eyebrows slightly: “What’s the matter with the twenty-three years old?
You are still so young, some people are still taking college entrance exams in their 30s or 40s! ”
Chu Xiaoyi couldn’t sit down a bit. He stood up abruptly, wanting to go back to his room, and said coldly: “I don’t take the test, whoever loves to take the test.”
Chu Jiadong: “I really do it for your own good, if you have one…”
Chu Xiaoyi had already walked out a few steps, but he was completely blown up when he heard this, and turned his head and said angrily: “You are not doing me well, it is because you can’t live up to your face! It is you who care about this!”
Chu Jiadong was also angry: “Who said that!”
Chu Xiaoyi said angrily: “If you were good for me, why didn’t you say this back then?
If you are good for me, don’t you agree when you fill out the college entrance examination?
If you are good for me, you will give birth without discussing…”
Chu Xiaoyi glanced at the surprised little thing in the corner, she took off the earphones with a puzzled face, as if she didn’t know what was going on.
He took a deep breath, not wanting to leave a psychological shadow on the younger sister, and simply swallowed the words back, trying to calm the chaotic mood, and decided to turn around and leave.
Chu Jiadong stopped him, gritted his teeth and said, “The past is the past, and the present is now…”
Chu Xiaoyi sneered: “Because you now know that I won’t go to the major you chose, so just take a step back and become an educated one?
Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? ”
Chu Jiadong: “I didn’t mean that!”
The father and son talked about the contradiction many years ago, and gradually became a little angry, and openly began to choke.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t understand the anger of fools and fathers and sons at all. She was just watching a foreign language video, and the two who had communicated well in the first place had a quarrel, like mortal enemies on the battlefield.
“Don’t make noise—” the little girl’s childish voice broke the tense atmosphere, “Quiet!”
The father and son calmed down a bit, and Chu Xiaoyi turned his head and saw that Chu Xiaoxiao was already standing on the sofa.
She was dissatisfied with her hands on her hips, obviously too angry, and said loudly: “You are in kindergarten like this, and you will be persuaded by the teacher in two days! Can’t speak well, just your voice?
! ”
Chu Xiaoxiao also rarely speaks at such a high volume. She wants to show a serious and mighty appearance, but standing on the sofa is not as tall as father and son, but like a serious dwarf.
Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Jiadong looked at the puffing little glutinous rice ball on the sofa, and suddenly they no longer had tempers, and they fell silent together.
In the study, Xiao Bi heard the sound of the dispute, she hurried over, frowned and said, “What’s the matter?”
Chu Xiaoxiao took the lead in filing a complaint, and said dissatisfied: “Mom, I also want to buy a big speaker, buzzing in their ears!”
Chu Xiaoxiao coughed dry after speaking. She yelled too loudly just now, and now she has an uncomfortable throat and tears are coming out of her cough.
Chu Jiadong suddenly panicked, and poured a glass of warm water for Chu Xiaoxiao and asked her to drink it quickly.
“Xiao Yi, come with me.”
Xiao Bi called out Chu Xiaoyi, then ran into Chu Jiadong’s gaze, and said lightly, “You will be honest for me.”
Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Jiadong stayed in the living room, while Chu Xiaoyi followed his mother Xiao Bi to the study.
Xiao Bi motioned to his eldest son to close the study door, and said calmly: “You can tell me, why was it noisy just now?”
When Chu Xiaoyi heard the familiar opening remarks, his memories instantly jumped to his childhood.
Every time he had a dispute with his father, his mother always listened to him alone and wanted to know what he thought.
Sometimes Xiao Bi patiently persuaded Chu Jiadong, and sometimes fiercely confronted each other. Their contradictions and disputes always revolved around Chu Xiaoyi.
Chu Xiaoyi remembered that after she was beaten, her mother, who had always been gentle and elegant, pounced on her father and shouted in a sharp voice: “Chu Jiadong, these days are no more?
Are you good these days?
! ”
She was flushed with anger at that time, wishing to tear Chu Jiadong to pieces. Since then, Chu Jiadong has not beaten Chu Xiaoyi again.
Chu Xiaoyi lowered his eyes and said, “Nothing…”
Chu Xiaoyi had always been weak in the face of her mother. In fact, she had never done anything wrong. More often, she was caught between the father and the son and was forced to get involved in disputes.
There is no contradiction between Xiao Bi and Chu Jiadong living alone, and there is no contradiction between Xiao Bi and Chu Xiaoyi living alone, but the three of them are together and there is constant war.
Xiao Bi said slowly and logically: “I can guess what you are arguing about. If it is a voluntary matter for the college entrance examination, you said when you left home, as long as we no longer take care of you, all old accounts will be settled.
I can’t care about your dad’s make-up mentality, but I did exactly what you wanted. ”
When Chu Xiaoyi left home, he couldn’t wait to escape the family prison, longing for an independent life.
Xiao Bi finally agreed and gave his eldest son a deposit, which was his new year’s money for many years.
Xiao Bi: “I asked if you would like to repeat it. You also rejected me at that time. I really don’t know what else can I do for you?”
Chu Xiaoyi lowered in a little shame, and listened to his mother without saying a word.
He did say that he would not be entangled in the past, and he would treat the moment of leaving home as a brand new beginning, and it would be boring to look through old accounts now.
“If it’s Xiao Xiao’s matter, we didn’t discuss it with you in advance, so I’m really very sorry.”
Xiao Bi explained, “I went to the hospital for a ring removal operation because of a physical problem a few years ago, but I didn’t expect Xiao Xiao to be born by accident.”
Chu Xiaoyi looked at his mother in a daze. He didn’t even know that she had had an operation, and he became more ashamed.
He has been deliberately avoiding news from home, even ignoring his mother’s physical condition.
Xiao Bi actually had no plans to have a second child. After she gave birth to Chu Xiaoyi, the doctor suggested that she might no longer have children.
However, family planning was also promoted at that time, so Xiao Bi had no regrets, only that this was fate.
The arrival of the youngest daughter may also be a kind of destiny, no one expected such a situation, and she is extremely healthy in the mother’s body.
“At that time, you closed the recording on the show, and we couldn’t contact you. There was really no way.
Your dad originally didn’t want Xiao Xiao, he has completely lost his confidence in being a father, and he always feels that he is incapable of doing a good job…” Xiao Bi paused for a few seconds and frankly said, “I decided to give birth to Xiao Xiao. I want to save your dad. , I also want to save myself, I’m really sorry. ”
Two years before Chu Xiaoyi left home, the family also had a bad life, like a lifeless ice cave.
Chu Jiadong’s self-confidence was destroyed overnight, and he fell into endless self-blame and guilt, and he didn’t even have a chance to redeem his sins.
Xiao Bi seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was on the verge of collapse, not knowing where to go.
Chu Xiaoyi left the house mercilessly, but Xiao Bi and Chu Jiadong were still trapped in the shadows of the past, and they did not come out for a long time.
Xiao Bi really couldn’t stand his life like a dead end, so he decided to accept the unexpected Chu Xiaoxiao.
If there is no turnaround, she may not be able to survive. Where can it go bad no matter how bad it is?
Chu Xiaoyi felt a trace of sadness in his heart, and said bitterly: “Mom, you don’t have to be sorry, I am sorry for you…”
Chu Xiaoyi had no place to show himself in front of his mother. He had no right to accuse Xiao Bi. She had done everything his mother could do.
When Chu Jiadong was making money outside, Xiao Bi not only had to teach at school, but also went home to do housework and take care of the young Chu Xiaoyi.
Regardless of Chu Jiadong’s objections, she listened to the eldest son’s thoughts and sent him to a music interest class.
She never criticized Chu Xiaoyi’s academic performance, only told him to be clear about his future choices, and even helped him persuade Chu Jiadong.
What else can Chu Xiaoyi ask of her?
Ask her to divorce her father?
Chu Xiaoyi was convinced that if he didn’t exist, perhaps his parents wouldn’t fight with red faces.
He is the starting point of the contradiction between the parents, he is the source of the aging of the parents, and he is the instability factor of the family.
He has neither his sister’s extraordinary talents nor her empathy. He just brings the calamity of disputes to the family.
Children cannot choose their parents, nor can parents choose their children.
If Chu Xiaoyi is a parent now, he wants a little sister-like child more, right?
She will not make trouble everywhere, always behaved and cute, and has a brighter future and brighter future.
Xiao Bi looked at the painful look of her elder son, she was equally uncomfortable, but she still pours out a trace of resentment: “Xiao Yi, you said at the beginning that your dad only makes money, and you never look back at home, but what are you doing now? What?”
“Why have you been reluctant to look back at us?”
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t want to go home for five years. Xiao Bi said that he didn’t care at all, that was impossible.
She still doesn’t know what she has done wrong, so she has come to this point.
Chu Jiadong may owe something to her son, but she has indeed exhausted everything, and she is completely at a loss.
She is a mother, but she is also a human and has her own emotions.
She can’t wait in place and let herself live for her son forever.
When Chu Xiaoyi heard the words, he always wanted to make achievements and prove himself to his parents, but he forgot his past wishes.
He doesn’t actually need how much money his father earns. He just hopes that the other party can go home and see more so that he can communicate well with himself.
He doesn’t like what his father used to do, but now he is copying his father’s old ways.
This fierce conflict finally subsided in the study.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t know what his mother and brother were talking about, and when they came out of the house, they seemed to be a little sad.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at her brother’s blue heart. She seemed to understand the meaning of this color for the first time. It was not only a resistance to her, but actually his resistance to everything in the family.
He can’t fit into the family well, he can only resist everything, even himself.
It was the sad color of the sea. He drifted around alone on the sea, but he didn’t know how to get to the shore awkwardly.
The next two days were calm, and adults stopped mentioning the contradictions that day. Perhaps they wanted to create a good family atmosphere in front of Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Xiaoyi’s vacation is finally over, he will also go back to work and say goodbye to his parents at the door of his home.
Chu Jiadong hesitated for a long time, but still said, “Call home if you have anything.”
Although Chu Xiaoyi rarely took the initiative to contact his home, Chu Jiadong would say this every time.
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t know how to answer, so he could only hug his parents in the end to avoid this topic.
He looked at the little thing hiding behind his father’s legs, and smiled helplessly: “Don’t you show it?”
Chu Xiaoxiao stared at him silently, Chu Xiaoyi didn’t force her to hold her either, smiled and waved goodbye to the family.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the elder brother who was leaving, she suddenly rushed out of the house, causing her mother to scream, “Xiao Xiao!”
In the community, Chu Xiaoxiao caught up with Chu Xiaoyi, and suddenly said, “Will you come back?”
Chu Xiaoyi’s current emotions were too complicated for her to interpret immediately, but she always felt that if he let him go now, it seemed that he would never go home again.
Chu Xiaoyi didn’t expect that she would rush out of the house. He couldn’t help but froze for a few seconds, his voice hoarse: “Can I still come back?”
This is Chu Xiaoyi’s recent hesitation. He doesn’t know how his own existence can help his family, and even his work will be scolded by his family.
He occasionally felt that if Chu Xiaoxiao had a good first child, perhaps his parents would not bother at all, and would naturally have ordinary happiness.
Chu Xiaoxiao was silent for a few seconds, she looked down nervously, and said worriedly: “But where can you go if you are so stupid?”
Chu Xiaoyi felt soft, he suddenly remembered something, took out the familiar red envelope from his bag, and said, “Almost forgot one thing…”
“Your brother actually makes a lot of money outside, so he won’t want you to give out red envelopes.”
Chu Xiaoyi handed the red envelope to Chu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, “Happy Chinese New Year.”
Chu Xiaoxiao took the red envelope, and she found that the money in it suddenly increased, which seemed to be several times the original amount.
She showed a very complicated look, wanted to return it, and said seriously: “Don’t talk nonsense anymore!”
Chu Xiaoyi looked at the unexpected reaction: “?”
Chu Xiaoyi: “…No, I didn’t talk nonsense?”
Chu Xiaoxiao: “Stop vainly bragging, can you live simpler?”
She really didn’t know why the cheap brother wanted to save face so much. Before leaving home, he had to swell his face to fill up the fat man, and it reminded her of the other party buying expensive grapes.
Chu Xiaoyi: “…” No one believed me when I told the truth these days?
Chu Xiaoyi stuffed the red envelope in her arms unhappily, pushing the suitcase and chasing He Xin: “Okay, okay, don’t be angry with me…”
Seeing that he was leaving, Chu Xiaoxiao repeated: “Will you come back?”
Her eyes glowed brightly, as if waiting for a promise.
Chu Xiaoyi couldn’t answer for a while, he hesitated for a long time, and proposed: “If you miss me every day, can I try to get back more?”
Chu Xiaoyi: If my sister acts like a baby and wants to let herself come back, then I can reluctantly agree.
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Chu Xiaoxiao thought hard, as if he was weighing the possibility of things.
After a while, she waved goodbye to the cheap brother, never mentioning this plan again, and calmly said: “Goodbye!”
Chu Xiaoyi: “?”
