Xu Mei made dinner and went to the room to call Ranran.
But the little guy tonight was obviously injured by his father. No matter how much his grandma tried to persuade him, he just couldn't come out alive.
"You guys eat first"
Li Mu confessed, took his mobile phone and left home.
After a while.
Li Mu came back from outside. When Teacher Zhou was confused, Li Mu walked into the small room.
At this moment, Ranran no longer cried, but she would still let out one or two sobs from time to time. Li Mu walked to him with some distress and placed a watch he bought in front of him.
"Dad thought for a moment"
Li Mu said, "I find you are right. If you like someone, then chase him. After all, life is like a fleeting bird song. Everyone can only live once. I am just a son. Before you chase, show your sincerity first.
The so-called sincerity means that you have to prove to your father that you really want to do this. To study abroad, you have to be good at English, but your father's ability is limited. You have to work hard to get into college step by step. In the meantime, you have to
Exercise well, because when you go abroad, it means you have to rely on yourself for everything."
Speaking.
Li Mu pointed to the children's watch on the table.
"Starting from tomorrow, you have to get up early and run. In the past two days, your father will sign you up for English training classes. On Sunday, in addition to guitar, you have to go to your Uncle Xu's house to learn martial arts from your Aunt Yu. You have to pay for whatever you want."<
/p>
Li Mu rubbed his son's head and asked softly, "Do you still remember that dad took you to live in a small house without a kitchen?"
Li Ran nodded his head.
Express that he still remembers.
"You have seen your father cry when he got up in the middle of the night, and you have also seen your father create something from scratch. This is the result of your father's insistence. So, son, if you want something, you have to work hard. There is nothing in this world that is unnecessary.
You can get what you pay for. Persistence is painful, but only by perseverance can you have a chance to get what you want. If you can't do it, just stay by your dad's side honestly and don't complain in the future, because dad has already given you a chance.
, you can’t catch it yourself”
Li Mu patted his son's head and said, "Let's go and eat first. All efforts must be based on eating enough."
What needs to be said.
Li Mu has already said it.
As for what Ranran would choose, Li Mu didn't care.
He walked out of the room.
"What did you say!?"
Teacher Zhou asked.
"Look at himself"
Li Mu said.
At this moment.
There was silence in the room. Ranran sat on a chair and looked at the watch that his father had placed on the table, and the fragments before moving appeared in his mind.
It was a small rental house.
There is a sliding door between the bathroom and the bed, and the smell is terrible in the summer.
His father also built the kitchen at the door. Whenever it rained, his father had to hold an umbrella when cooking. Sometimes because of the heavy rain, the simple small kitchen stove was full of water, and even the fire could not be lit.
Whenever this happens, his father will take him to a small restaurant at the door to eat.
So he especially liked heavy rain at that time.
Because his father had to take him to a restaurant for dinner again, these memories were scattered, but the picture put together was still fresh in Ranran's memory.
What is engraved deepest in his memory is the scene of him playing with cars on the bed and his father sitting next to the small bookcase in the rental house reading a book. Day after day, year after year, from the time he can remember, whenever his father has free time,
Apart from taking him to the small park, I spend the rest of my time reading books.
These memories are not so recent.
Just like his father, who still holds a book and slowly flips through it when he is free, it is as brand new as ever.
"If you want to get something, you have to give it"
This is something his father often says.
As if unconsciously.
Ranran stretched out his hand little by little and grabbed the children's watch on the table.
Then.
He lowered his head and slowly clasped it on his left wrist. After doing all this, he walked out of the room and came to the dining table.
"Let's eat!"
Seeing his son come out on his own initiative.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and also felt relieved.
My son is still sensible and does not cry like other children.
Early the next morning.
The sky had just turned white, and Li Mu had already gotten up. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting quietly for something.
Six o'clock.
There was an alarm ringing in the room.
Just when Li Mu was a little disappointed, Ran Ran walked out of the room after getting dressed. When he saw Li Mu on the sofa, the little guy snorted coldly, as if he was angry with Li Mu. Then he walked into the bathroom and started without being reminded.
Wash.
At a quarter past six, Ranran put on her sneakers, opened the living room door and walked out.
Li Mu quickly put down his teacup and followed him downstairs.
There were not many vehicles on the street at early six o'clock, but Ran Ran ran eastward along the road at the entrance of the community. Li Mu, who had not run for a long time, also ran behind him.
Time passes little by little.
Li Mu set a goal for his son of two kilometers, but Li Mu was not sure whether Ranran could hold on to it
Fortunately.
Ranran did not disappoint him. Even though he was sweating profusely from running, he still worked hard to move forward. The morning sun came as promised, and Li Mu and Ranran turned back and ran back.
I heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
Teacher Zhou hugged his son who had woken up and walked out of the bedroom. He looked at the father and son who had finished running with a shocked expression.
But what shocked Teacher Zhou was far more than that.
Ranran, who usually had to be asked many times to do her homework, actually took the initiative to run to the balcony with her math textbook and memorize it. Teacher Zhou glanced at the balcony with a strange expression, then walked into the kitchen, where he was helping his mother-in-law.
Li Mu, who was eating, raised his arms and asked in a low voice, "Of course, can you hold on!?"
"It should be okay!"
Li Mu doesn’t have much confidence either.
After all, children's persistence is sometimes like a balloon that pops quickly.
How long it can last depends mainly on himself, but being able to take this step has proven that Ranran is working hard to change.
People never know whether the step they take will become the key to determining the trajectory of their life, or will it become a regret that one day in the future they will never regret even if they think about it! But many things have two sides, good and bad.
, we can only get results after many years. No matter how much we think about it now, it is just useless mediocrity.
"Then... if he really persists, are you really going to send him to study abroad?"
Teacher Zhou asked again.
"If such a day comes"
Li Mu thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "Then send him there. If you persist for ten years, you should give him an answer. At least the regret cannot be caused by my father."
Actually.
Li Mu hoped that his son would not get the results he wanted after ten years of persistence.
That's the only way.
Only then can you get real growth.
Transformed from a boy into a real man.
Because the best lesson in life is "you work hard, but in the end you don't get what you want"
Such a life.
Only then will it be complete.
