Chapter 62 A promise under the city

Seeing that the dispute had subsided again, Cao Guowei pretended to be having a meeting at his work unit and continued: "Don't you two, stop arguing. Let's sit down and study together, sort out these problems one by one, and see if there are any good solutions."

First of all, the first question is about your relationship with classmate Zhang Haiyan. I agree with your mother’s opinion on this issue. For your future development, it is better not to get along with classmate Zhang Haiyan. Xiaoyu, what’s your opinion?

Cao Yu said angrily: I have no objection.

Cao Guowei was very satisfied and said: No objection, that means you agree with our opinion?

Cao Yu remained silent. Zhou Xuemei was afraid that Cao Yu meant non-commitment and abstained from voting, which would be equivalent to reserving her opinion for future betrayal. She was really disgusted with this Zhang Haiyan, she was so disgusted with it.

a feeling.

She had to hammer this matter down without leaving any trace behind, so she asked: "What did your father ask you? Do you agree or disagree?"

Cao Yu is a rational child, he can only helplessly let go, sighed and said: Agree.

Seeing that their son agreed, Cao Guowei and his wife breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They can still trust their son in terms of keeping his word. This is the bottom line of being a human being. If a person can't even meet this basic requirement, I advise him to

You'd better leave him right away, don't say any more nonsense and just turn around and leave!

While Cao Guowei was relieved about his son, he began to care about his daughter and said: Very good, this second thing, what did the school do to Zhang Haiyan? Was he expelled or dropped out? Is there any room for redemption?

Cao Guowei knew in his heart that this matter had just been settled, and it was definitely not too late for him to intervene now. What he needed was a reason, a past reason that could be explained to Zhou Xuemei. For the sake of his precious daughter, he did not care about making small mistakes.

As long as the mistake can make Zhou Xuemei not feel abrupt.

As for whether Li Jian would listen to him or not, he wasn't worried at all. If that didn't work, just change the principal. He didn't believe it, and he dared to be tough even if Li Jian was asked to step aside!

Now is the right time, and the reason is sufficient. In order to make up for Zhou Xuemei's fault, to maintain the good family tradition of his Cao family, and to set an example for Cao Yu, he knows that Zhou Xuemei is a reasonable woman who can distinguish right from wrong. She will not mind him now.

Those who intervene in this matter will even praise him and add points to their relationship.

Therefore, Cao Guowei was going to personally intervene in the matter. Cao Yu quickly explained: No, the principal agreed that she should continue to go to school.

Cao Guowei was stunned. Although the stone in his heart fell to the ground, he felt a little empty and uneasy. He was like a confident person who had all the preparations in place. After warming up, he was excitedly gearing up and ready to go.

We won gold and silver on the track, but the referee came over and casually said: The race is cancelled.

How do you think this athlete feels? Cao Guowei feels like this now. However, he is still an old man and does not show the discomfort in his heart at all. He just asked Cao Yu doubtfully: I can still go to school, so isn't it no problem? Then you and

What's your mother arguing about?

Cao Yu hurriedly defended: Fortunately, Haiyan didn't reveal the bad things my mother did. If she had, I wouldn't be able to see my classmates. How can I still mess around in school in the future?

Seeing that the matter has reached this point, Cao Guowei feels a little regretful that he has nothing to do to help. But on second thought, that's good. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to put the issue of Zhang Caixia's mother and daughter on the table, so that he can be better in the future.

He legitimately helped the mother and daughter. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he wanted to take the opportunity to say hello to Zhou Xuemei and lay the groundwork so that he could find a reason to help in the future.

So she quickly caught her and tried to smooth things over by saying, "So that's it. It's true that we can't forgive her. But that's what happened now, so we have to find ways to compensate them in the future."

Cao Yu said helplessly: "How to compensate? I don't think she can even apologize. If I were her, I would hate us to death."

Cao Guowei fell into silence. Cao Yu was right. If you don't point out many things, you won't even have a chance to apologize, so you can only continue to misunderstand them forever.

Just like him and Zhang Caixia, they really don't know how to resolve this problem. Even if there is a chance to apologize, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to apologize, his wife, and what can he say? Some mistakes are never made.

If you can't let go of the opportunity to change, you can only carry it on your back and in your heart, and carry it all the way to the coffin, unable to escape.

There was no answer to this question, and he thought of Zhang Caixia and her daughter again. He couldn't think about it anymore, so he could only sigh and said: Oh, let's put it aside for a while and see if there is a chance to help them in the future. This is the first time.

Three questions...

He thought about it for a moment and didn't think of any other questions. This made him a little unhappy. He had been used to talking about at least three questions in meetings for so many years. Today he only talked about two, which made him feel that he was not finished and it was not perfect.

But this was at home, and he couldn't just add one indiscriminately, as that would make him look inferior, so he sighed again and said: Alas, there doesn't seem to be a third one?

He looked at his wife, hoping to help him and make a perfect ending. Zhou Xuemei looked at him blankly. She had cried too hard before. At this time, her brain was lacking oxygen and could not move, so she could only shake her head.

.

Seeing that his wife could not help, he could only place his hope on Cao Yu and said: Xiaoyu, do you have anything to add?

Cao Yu finally got the opportunity to raise conditions, and of course he couldn't let it go, so he emphasized again: I said before, I hope you will respect me in the future and stop interfering in my affairs. My mother has already agreed to this.

When Cao Guowei heard this, he felt as if something he had been holding back for a long time was expelled from his body at once, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable.

Perfect, this is perfect! He quickly said: Yes, the third thing is that Xiaoyu has grown up and we can no longer interfere with his life. Xiaoyu, what do you think?

Zhou Xuemei is a person who understands justice well. She knows that Cao Yu will be independent sooner or later. She is not unwilling to let go, but she is reluctant to let go. She is not yet relieved that Cao Yu will leave her, and she does not believe that Cao Yu can leave her in the future.

With the speed at which he was causing trouble, she felt that he would come back to beg her soon.

When she thought of this, Zhou Xuemei replied very simply: Agree. As long as he doesn't come to beg me, I won't bother!

Cao Yu already understood that what she meant by helping him was just asking him to follow her wishes and grow according to the path she planned.

Now he just wants to break free from his fucking shackles, he wants his freedom, so he emphasized: Then we have to agree in advance, you can't control anything!

Zhou Xuemei asked doubtfully: What do you mean, you want to draw a clear line with us? You don’t even want living expenses?

Cao Yu smiled and said: Mom, where did you want to go? You will always be my mother, and of course you have to pay for living expenses! I mean, I want to choose my own path in the future.

Zhou Xuemei was a little worried and said: What is your own path? Make it clear.

Cao Yu had never thought about what kind of path he would take in the future, because he believed that his mother would definitely arrange these for him. It was like eating at home. He didn't have to worry about what to eat, her mother would

Bring everything he likes to eat directly to the table, and he just has to sit down and eat. His mother will arrange the rest for him.

After being educated by Principal Li in the afternoon, he realized that some things may not be what he thought. This gave rise to many hazy thoughts in his mind, so he said: For example, whether to enter politics in the future, I think politics is really practical.

There are too many restrictions and it may not be suitable for me. I haven’t thought about this yet.

Zhou Xuemei asked strangely: Then what do you want to do?

Cao Yu is only thinking about how to pick up girls now. Being in politics means being constrained and uncomfortable. This should not be the life he wants. But as for what kind of life he wants and what kind of life he can want, he is still

I didn’t know, so I said: Why do I have to be an official? Isn’t it good to be an ordinary person? Do anything, maybe start a small business or something, but I haven’t thought about it yet.

Zhou Xuemei immediately became vigilant. She was afraid that Cao Yu didn't want to be an official because of Zhang Haiyan's affairs. Her dislike of Zhang Haiyan was not just due to her background, so she said coldly: What, what you just said were all in vain? Why are you still thinking about it?

What about Zhang Haiyan? Didn't we agree before? No matter what you do in the future, you are never allowed to associate with her again, and she cannot enter our home!

Cao Yu naturally still misses Zhang Haiyan a little bit in his heart, but he knows that the hope is very slim. He has no lifelong relationship with her, he just likes her free and easy personality that is independent of the world.

.

What happened today made him admire Zhang Haiyan even more. He yearned for her unrestrained life, so he said: Mom, Haiyan and I have recognized each other as brother and sister. I will not marry her as my wife. Don't worry about this.

After hearing this, Cao Guowei felt ecstatic in his heart and blurted out: Really? If you hadn't told her earlier, since you are brother and sister, you will definitely have the opportunity to help her in the future.

Zhou Xuemei said coldly: Why do I not believe it so much? Then why do you think of being an ordinary person and why do you want to do business? You can't use our name to do business, that will harm your father.

Cao Yu said: Mom, you're here again, I just said it casually, I haven't thought about it yet.

Cao Guowei knew that Cao Yu and Haiyan recognized each other as brother and sister, and he was extremely happy. Because he knew that the mother and daughter probably already knew the relationship between Cao Yu and him. Since they recognized each other as brother and sister, it meant that they would not come for the time being.

His trouble.

He could finally let go of his worries these days, so he said with some excitement: Yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person. Aren't we all ordinary people? We are all the same in life, old age, illness and death, but the division of labor in society is different. Doing business is also

It's not impossible, as long as you don't cheat in my name. Xuemei, when the child is older, you should leave his affairs alone.

Seeing that her husband was a little excited, Zhou Xuemei thought that Cao Guowei was happy that Cao Yu could get rid of her control! Did he, Cao Guowei, always want to escape from her control? This made her more and more angry, so she snorted at her husband.

He said: Why are you so excited? Are you both father and son thinking of rebelling?

Seeing that his wife noticed his thoughts, Cao Guowei broke into a cold sweat and said hurriedly: Look at you, what are you talking about! You are the hero of our family, and both our father and son are pointing at you!

Zhou Xuemei glanced at her husband, snorted contemptuously, and said coldly to her son: I don’t think you can do anything without our support. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.

Both father and son were speechless, and the three of them had their own thoughts.

After experiencing these things, Cao Yu grew up all of a sudden. He redefined the relationship between mother and son, and understood that there is a long road ahead and everything must be done by himself.

Cao Guowei breathed deeply twice, trying to calm his pounding heartbeat. He adjusted his breathing and said to Cao Yu lovingly: Xiaoyu, when you grow up, what are your plans for the future?

Cao Yudao: I want to follow my own path and live the life I want.

Cao Guowei praised: This is very good, let’s talk about it.

Cao Yudao: I haven’t thought about the details yet. I want to go to work-study program first.

Zhou Xuemei said warily: Why, do you really want to draw a clear line with us?

Don't say that money is not everything. If there is no relationship between people and they don't care about each other in terms of money, then they are really just ordinary friends, and there is no such thing as family affection and love.

.

The AA system is an important symbol of being wary of each other. It is no different in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Only when you are financially independent can you have an independent personality.

Cao Yu wants to make money on his own, which is to shake the last link between her mother and her son. This kind of behavior naturally arouses Zhou Xuemei's vigilance. How many mothers and children in the world rely on money to maintain contact in the end.

Cao Guowei was not as worried as his wife, so he quickly comforted his wife and explained to Cao Yu: If he wants to live his own life, of course he must become financially independent first. This will happen sooner or later. Xuemei, don't worry too much.

It's better than chewing the old, Xiaoyu, we support you.

Zhou Xuemei also understood these principles, so she said: I will find you a job, and you go and work hard.

Cao Yu said: I don’t want to go to work.
