Chapter 366 [Father and Son]

In the past, the dialogue between father and son would never have progressed to this point.

The moment Lu Zhengyi put down his phone, Lu Yiyong should have ridiculed him, saying that after so many years of filming, he couldn't audition actors.

This time, after a few words at a time, the two of them had to part ways.

Of course, almost every time it ends with Lu Yiyong losing his temper.

But now, things seem to be different.

"Okay, okay, I've thought about it all..."

Lu Yiyong murmured, "I'm getting ahead. When I was the same age as you, I didn't have such achievements as you. You are more talented than me in the directing industry and have better luck than me."

He even boasted about it.

As a father who, in Lu Zhengyi's impression, almost implemented 'demeaning education' to the end, he actually praised him today.

But there was one thing he felt he knew very well.

His performance was far from what Lu Yiyong had imagined before.

To be more precise, it could also be that it was too different from his previous thoughts.

He believes that children will crave the approval of their elders.

But this understanding made Lu Yiyong feel a little confused.

"You have to teach An An well."

He once again cast his gaze on Lu Zhengyi beside the bed, trying to catch a hint of excitement and satisfaction on his son's face.

"Yes, mainly luck."

This word has become a bit unfamiliar.

He suddenly discovered that the child who could not satisfy him no matter what he did when he was a child had really grown up.

Lu Zhengyi didn't say that he was touched or excited, but nodded calmly, acknowledging this sentence, but there was also a hint of humility in his words.

"I did not understand it for a while before. I felt that as parents, you have never appeared in my life." He responded casually, "But later, after I started working and became a father, of course I was able to understand. Life It’s not that easy to coordinate with work.”

Lu Zhengyi sat next to him and peeled the apple, his face very calm.

And the way he recognized him directly, his calm demeanor, and his indifferent tone made Lu Yiyong stunned again.

Anyway, as long as the good grandson reaches the age where he should go to school, his son will know that happy education is not enough, and he will naturally be like the generations of the Lu family.

"You kid..."

He did not refute, and expressed his dissatisfaction with this derogatory education.

Lu Zhengyi paused and said, "Yeah."

To be honest, Lu Yiyong was later very grateful to Lu Zhengyi's grandfather, his father, and also to his teacher who was able to treat him harshly.

"Our Lu family educates the next generation in this way." Although Lu Yiyong felt a little dazed in his heart, he continued, "Only if you are strict enough, you will not let your children go astray. Our family has passed down the tradition to this day. not easy."

But when he had children and started educating them, he slowly understood this kind of education.

Just like myself back then.

"..."

And now he has to hand this baton to Lu Zhengyi.

If Lu Zhengyi was more excited, "I don't want my son to be like me", "I won't educate him like this", after saying these words, Lu Yiyong could still agree with satisfaction. After all, he was like this at the beginning. Thought.

In his words, he seemed to understand Lu Yiyong's approach as a father.

"But you did better than me. I went to his old man's house and passed away, but I didn't hear a word of satisfaction from him. No matter what kind of film I made, he was not satisfied, but you kid... you heard it now."

But unfortunately, no.

The Lu family's education method did not start with his generation, so he once had great resistance, incomprehension, and complaints about this harsh education.

"I should fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a son."

"If any incompetent person comes out of any generation, the reputations of several generations will be ruined."

"What's more, I was born by you, and I squandered the money you earned. In the end, I blamed you and complained about you. Maybe I said a few words occasionally, but in my heart and actions, I feel that I can't do it."

"I know, you have been blaming me, blaming me for not accompanying you when you were a child, blaming me for always scolding you." Lu Yiyong looked at the ceiling with a look of memories, "Your grandfather, my father, did the same to me at the time. And he was more cruel to me than I was to you."

It destroyed a whole family.

Just like when I was a child, when I went to school, I always felt that the teachers who were smiling and could easily approve vacations, whether they were sleeping in class or eating snacks, were very kind, but for those teachers who were particularly strict and had to ask their parents to come to school in person to ask for leave. I was particularly disgusted by the rigid teacher who allowed me to even whisper in class.

"..."

When did it start?
he does not know.

"Not only did he keep scolding me for being useless, but he also beat me. There is no such thing as domestic violence. Children should be beaten and scolded in order to become successful. This is what everyone thinks."

If it hadn't been for them, I might have been like others, saying, 'My father is the district chief', 'My grandfather is the president, my father is the president, I want to be the president too', 'I'll kill you twenty years ago' Thousands of things...'

Yes, his son understood him, but it made him confused.

But his son's performance was a bit...too plain.

But now, the other party's performance gave him a feeling that it went in through one ear and out through the other.

This is not a good thing.

"Will you teach An An well?"

Lu Yiyong couldn't help but speak.

"My son, I definitely want to teach him well, but what is good and what is bad..." Lu Zhengyi shook his head helplessly, "Actually, after living for so long, I still can't see clearly, so let's talk about you. , What, where do you feel uncomfortable?”

Dad's words had a feeling of explaining the aftermath.

"It's okay, I'm just... just scared." Lu Yiyong wanted to pretend to be strong, but looking at his strange but mature son beside the hospital bed, he still told the truth, "I'm afraid I won't have time to explain. The people left."

"Tell me the truth, how do you want to pass it on?"

"Have you thought about what An An will do in the future, what school he will go to, and how you will develop his character?"

A week ago, he never imagined that his body would be so fragile.

Just a simple fall and he ended up in the hospital, and the doctor even gave him advice.

If he had been injured like this when he was young, let alone lying down, he would be able to run to the basketball court on crutches the next day. Even if he didn't play, he could still join in the fun.

But now...

"Have you thought about it? In fact, I don't have too many thoughts on this question." Lu Zhengyi handed over the peeled apple, "After all, being a parent does not require examinations, and children are not test papers with fixed answers. , it depends on the situation, teach students in accordance with their aptitude.”

"Xue Ming should hope that her children can go into business, enter the spotlight, and inherit the family business."

"As for me, I don't have much idea."

Lu Yiyong's expression froze, "You have no plans to let him be the director?"

"It depends on himself."

Lu Zhengyi replied calmly, "After he discovers something he likes, I will support him."

He has always had a respectful attitude towards other people's lives and choices.

But for his son, he has some need to interfere.

Of course, only to a certain extent.

"If I could have another child..." Lu Yiyong thought, he had to inherit the director's career, but the Lu family had been doing it for so many years, and he was really unwilling to give up.

"No, one is enough."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "I am now focusing on overseas markets. I have to go abroad for filming from time to time. I can't do much about raising children."

"Although there are other people helping to look after her, Xueming is already working hard enough."

"Having a child itself is a matter that requires a lot of time and energy, plus raising the child..."

During the pregnancy, he only spent three months with his wife in total. The rest of the time, he was at work.

When the baby was born, he accompanied her throughout the entire process, and after that, he took care of her for another half a year.

He could see how much pain his wife was going through during this process.

Once is enough.

Having children has been Zhang Xueming's wish since she was discussing marriage.

After all, it is impossible for such a big company to not even have an heir.

So when she mentioned it later, Lu Zhengyi did not refuse.

But if she asked for another now, he would object.

A combination of factors made this not an appropriate decision.

……

"Have you had dinner?"

When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

After Lu Zhengyi returned to China, although he stayed with him in the hospital most of the time, he would still go home occasionally.

"After eating a little, he had to go to the bathroom. The process was quite troublesome and took about forty minutes. I didn't eat after that." He responded to his wife's words and took the coat he had taken off in his hand, "I can just take it. Now, I’ll go upstairs and take a shower.”

"...Okay, then I'll cook for you."

Zhang Xueming nodded and withdrew the hand that wanted to help her husband pick up the dirty clothes.

Lu Zhengyi went upstairs with his coat in one hand and his suitcase in the other. He first went to the baby's room and took a look. When he heard the even breathing inside, he left without going in.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he returned to the baby's room and looked at his son who was sleeping soundly in the crib.

The little guy is almost one year old, and his daily routine has been established regularly.

However, most children are relatively free at this stage.

Eat when you wake up, play for a while after eating, and then go back to sleep, regardless of day or night.

But Zhang Xueming hopes that the child can have a regular schedule as soon as possible to avoid crying at night when adults should rest. During the day, when adults have time to play with him, he will start to sleep.

"Quite well-behaved."

Lu Zhengyi squatted beside the crib, looking at the sleeping child inside through the mosquito net.

He tiptoed and raised his arm, using the back of his finger to gently slide it across his face.

Lu Yongan's chubby face was very smooth. He was touched secretly by his father, but he didn't feel it. He pouted his pink mouth and slept deeply.

He didn't tease his sleeping son too much, lest he wake him up.

Lu Zhengyi quickly exited the room and came downstairs.

There was already a soup and two dishes on the table, but Zhang Xueming was still busy in the kitchen.

"Hey, there is also stir-fried pork, so many things have been made?" Lu Zhengyi walked into the kitchen, and he knew what she was making without even looking at the pot, "Wait a minute, you didn't have dinner too, right?"

"...Ahem, I've been a little busy. After all, Bixian will start work tomorrow. This is my first project after returning to work, so I have to pay more attention to it." Zhang Xueming didn't dare to look at him, "And you attach great importance to Director Li. Well."

"Yes, I value him, but I value you more."

Lu Zhengyi stepped forward helplessly and took the spatula from her hand, "You go and sit over there, I will do the rest."

"No, go and serve the food and wait."

Zhang Xueming didn't give him a chance to take over the job, "You've been tired from taking care of my father-in-law for so many days. Take a rest."

"You've also been taking care of your children and working."

Lu Zhengyi also said.

"Don't you also have a job? You need to help with Bixian's promotion, and you also need to arrange the preparations for the horror cruise ship."

Zhang Xueming said the same thing.

Both of them competed to take over the work, hoping that the other would do less troublesome things and have more time to rest and relax.

When they sat down to eat, they chatted about recent events.

"It's troublesome to take care of patients." Zhang Xueming hesitated, "I have also considered similar things. If my parents get old and sick as I grow older, how should I take care of them."

"But after thinking about it, I have no way to give them the care they deserve as children without affecting my work. I can only spend money to hire the best caregivers and let them go to the best wards and hospitals. "

"This is also something that can't be helped. At this point, many things actually...can't be considered comprehensively. It's not a solution to waste it like this. I think it's better to let the nursing staff take care of it."

Everyone knows that it will be very troublesome and stressful for parents when they get old.

But there is no way, this is a responsibility.

Some people even swear that when they grow old, they will never cause trouble to their children, and they may not even have children.

But things in the world are unpredictable, just like facing life and death. No one knows whether they can face it before reaching that point.

"It's okay, I'm okay for now."

Lu Zhengyi did not say that he could take care of everything, he only said that he could bear it for the time being.

Zhang Xueming was silent for a long time as she picked up her rice.

"Thanks for your hard work."

She just spoke out loud.

Judging from the current situation, the husband is doing well.

He has a good physique, is not afraid of getting dirty, is not afraid of trouble, and is able to take on the responsibility of taking good care of the elderly.

Although, from her perspective, the relationship between father and son is not a good one. Sometimes you and I sound a bit like enemies, but in the last step of life, having someone to rely on when old, he is right. My father-in-law took good care of me.

But as a wife, Zhang Xueming felt that it was very hard for him.

"Actually, he had a good talk with me today." Lu Zhengyi looked at her and said thoughtfully, "To be honest, I have forgotten the last time we, father and son, had such a peaceful chat."

"He told me about my grandfather, some of his past events, and An'an's education."

"As for your family, I think your father-in-law dotes on you, but our family, or should I say, our domestic family is more traditional in terms of education, especially this father and son. Sometimes the relationship is very special, and they don't He expresses his inner feelings and values ​​​​face very much, but...but I can actually understand him."

He still shared with his wife about the conversation with his father in the hospital today.

Zhang Xueming was eating and listening on the opposite side without interrupting.

As a daughter-in-law, looking at her father-in-law from her perspective is actually very different from Lu Zhengyi.

"Although he keeps saying that he is fine, I feel that something is wrong with him." After briefly talking about the hospital, Lu Zhengyi said helplessly, "With his face, he may not be willing to be with me in the end. Take it easy on your son."

Opposite me, Zhang Xueming, who had been listening quietly, raised his head in surprise.
