"Auntie, here's a toast to you." Li Yan stood up with her cup.
"Come on, sit down. There are only a few of us here." The old lady quickly pressed Li Yan down, raised her cup, and drank half of it. Then she continued, "I'm lucky to have married him. I've been short-tempered all my life. A tiger, a Siberian tiger, I'll get angry at the slightest provocation. Not many people can stand it, except for him. Although he didn't like me in the beginning, he always gave in to me after we got married.
He even tried to reason with me with some stuff from a book. Do you think I'm a reasonable person? "
After saying that, not only did she burst into laughter, but the people around her also laughed.
Li Yan said enviously, "Uncle is so nice."
"Once, I got angry and scratched his arm and face until it was bloody. He didn't move, just frowned, then sighed, and said why did you keep your nails so long?
Then he said that women and villains are hard to deal with. Don't you think it's fun? " The old lady sighed. "Sometimes I think that when I was young, I didn't know how to restrain myself, causing him to sigh every day.
If I had been a little more sensible, I could have let him live a good life.
His life was short, and all he suffered was sin. He never enjoyed happiness. I'm better than him. I'm old, but I can still live like this. "
Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes again.
Li He and his sister were stunned. They knew that the old lady was not a kind person, but they didn't expect her to be so short-tempered when she was young.
"Hey, let's drink." He Fang shook her head helplessly. She didn't wipe away the old lady's tears and continued to vent.
Li Yan waited for the old lady to calm down and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Auntie, I was still young back then. Have you ever thought …"
"No." The old lady shook her head firmly. "It's not that I'm affectionate or anything. It's just that people can't be compared.
After his father left, I could still pick and choose between those who were handsome and those who were blind. But these people made me feel disgusted. Compared to his father, I didn't like any of them. Everyone had thorns on their bodies, and no one was pleasing to the eye!
I know that I'll never meet a man like his father in my life who can do whatever I want. "
This time she drank by herself and emptied the cup.
"Eat some food. You're always thinking about useless things." He Fang picked up a piece of fish for the old lady.
For the first time, Li He left the table first. He couldn't afford to pay for it. Once the women started chattering, there would be no end to it.
He could only hear them crying and laughing. When he was bored, he took the dog to climb the mountain.
From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, it would take more than an hour. When he came down, drenched in sweat, the women had just cleaned up the dishes.
He Fang picked Li Lan up from the airport.
The three-day Children's Go competition ended in the double-elimination group stage of the top 32, and he did not even enter the top eight.
Li He wanted to be happy for a while, but when he saw his son's disappointed face, he held back.
Even He Fang could only rejoice in her heart. She comforted him on the surface, "You're a man. Don't cry. It's not a big deal to lose. Let's start over and find out more about our shortcomings, okay?"
"Okay." Li Lan nodded weakly.
The couple looked at him with heartache.
Li Lan did not play Go for three days. The couple cheered. Finally, they didn't have to go to the Qiyuan.
However, two days later, Liang Henian called and said that he wanted to visit.
"Sorry, there's no need." Li He directly refused. Anyway, the other party did not know his home address, so it saved him some trouble.
Liang Henian said, "Mr. Li, I'm not necessarily forcing your son to continue learning Go. I'm calling for the child's own good."
"For the child's own good?" Li He was amused. "My son doesn't want to learn Go now. Respecting his opinion is good for him."
Liang Henian sighed. "Mr. Li, I'm really doing it for the child. Think about it. The child suffered a setback this time. If he doesn't face it positively, will it leave a psychological shadow?
I think since you love your son, you don't want him to be a runaway person, right?
A child's mentality is far more fragile than an adult's. "
"Then come." Li He told him the address.
However, he did not expect that Liang Henian would come so quickly. From the time he hung up the phone until now, it had only been forty minutes.
"Please sit." Li He was not happy.
"Thank you." Liang Henian did not care about Li He's attitude. Instead, his eyes were looking for something in the room.
"The child went to school today." Li He knew that he was looking for Li Lan. "He hasn't finished school yet."
"Sorry, look at my memory." Liang Henian patted his forehead in embarrassment and continued, "The child did not play well this time. We are also responsible for it. We should strengthen the child's psychological counseling so that the child can fight actively."
Li He waved his hand and said, "Winning or losing is not important."
"It's not important to you, but it's important to the child. To be honest, he likes Go very much." Liang Henian said seriously, "He naturally wants to win. He needs this sense of accomplishment."
"This is the reason why I agreed to let you come." Li He had always neglected his son's mental health. At first, he was happy that Li Lan gave up Go. However, after listening to Liang Henian's words, he became worried.
If the child experienced failure and could not get over it, it would be detrimental to the child's growth.
"Mr. Li, I think you also hope that your son can become a strong person, right? You don't want him to be a person who gives up halfway, right? If he does not face it positively this time and adopts an attitude of giving up and choosing to run away, it will not be good for his willpower. "Liang Henian avoided talking about Go.
"Then you talk to him." Li He sighed. Liang Henian was right!
It was not a matter of learning Go now.
Although he was a billionaire, he still hoped to raise his son into a person with faith, a goal, and a person who would not run away in the face of difficulties!
He went to Li Lan's school and Liang Henian followed him.
Li Lan came out of the school gate and was happy to see Liang Henian. Then, he lowered his head and looked sad.
"You can talk in the pizza shop next door." Li He pointed to a shop at the intersection. He watched Liang Henian pull Li Lan in, but he did not follow.
They ate a bowl of haggis noodles at the entrance and smoked two cigarettes before they came out.
He looked at the time. More than an hour had passed.
"Dad, I want to continue learning Go."
This was the first thing Li Lan said when he saw Li He.
He raised his head and looked at his father nervously.
"Good. You dare to take responsibility for your actions and strive to be number one." Li He had to encourage him.
