He liked to keep his hair short, with a crew cut and a shaved head. To him, it didn't matter if he had hair or not, as long as he didn't look like Li Stensen. He could accept being bald, but he couldn't accept being bald.
But to He Fang, she couldn't. All these years, in order to treat Li He's hair, she had tried all kinds of diet and shampoo methods, from black sesame to polygonum multiflorum. She had tried every single one of them, and the effects were obvious. The quality of his hair gradually improved, and there were fewer white hairs, but there were still some.
"Then I'll stick a white beard on you, and you might as well dress up as an old man. You don't even pay attention to your image every day."
"If I really dressed up, would you care?" Li He retorted.
"That's still better than your sloppy appearance." He Fang forcefully tore off Li He's shirt. "How many times have I told you not to wear this tattered shirt? Didn't you just buy six clothes yesterday? You know that you have something to do today, but you don't know how to wear new clothes."
"The button fell off." Li He bent down to pick up the button on the floor and put it on the table. "I'm not that picky. It's fine as long as I'm wearing clothes. I'm not going out on the streets naked."
In any case, he would always be able to make his own arguments.
"I said you can't wear it again." He Fang gritted her teeth and threw the clothes into the dustbin. "You're the same person. You never change."
Li He smiled and asked, "How do I change?"
Li Yi was punished to stand at the door, crying her heart out. Seeing that her father and mother were chatting happily as if nothing had happened, she cried even harder.
"Just let her stand there. Don't talk to her." He Fang glanced at her and ignored her. She stopped Li He from going over to coax her. "Our family is not bad. At least, compared to many families, it's already very good. For those whose family situation is slightly worse, the first thing they think of is to sacrifice themselves. They don't have the ability or the strength to stand out, so they entrust everything to the next generation. They want their children to study hard, find a good job, earn more money, and change the fate of the family.
I admit that I also want my children to be successful, but I don't expect them to make a lot of money or achieve much. What I expect more is for them to have good character and noble morals. "
"Oh …" Li He was amused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just can't believe this came out of your mouth."
"I'm telling the truth." He Fang smiled. "Do we still expect to make money to change our family's fate?"
"They were born with a silver spoon in their mouths," Li He said leisurely. "They're even luckier than me. Comparisons are odious. When goods are compared, they'll be thrown away."
"How can you compare like that?" He Fang sighed and said, "When I married you, I didn't have much hope for you. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. If you have money, we'll sing it. If you don't, we'll count it. As long as our family is happy and doesn't compete, doesn't ask for benefits that don't match the results of our labor, and doesn't complain, our lives won't be bad."
"So, you don't have to be so picky. Just treat me like an ordinary person and I'll wear whatever I want."
"You're beating around the bush again." He Fang said angrily, "The point is that you're not an ordinary person now. If you really think of yourself as an ordinary person, you can't hide in this corner and run two miles to buy groceries."
"I apologize for this. I can't do anything about it. Do you like it when there's a group of people blocking the entrance every day?" Li He lay on the sofa and looked at his daughter who was crying so hard that her eyes were red. In the end, he resisted the urge to go forward and comfort her.
He Fang said, "Tell Pinsong and the rest to not be so careless the next time they come. The car of reporters followed them the last time."
Li He said, "Don't worry about that. I don't want to be forced to move again."
Li Yi cried for a while, but in the end, no one cared about her. She stopped crying and leaned her head against the door to sulk. After a long while, she was finally pardoned by her mother.
Li He thought that for someone with a backbone like her, it would take a long time for her to calm down. Who knew that after getting an egg from her mother, she would start eating it again with a smile.
"You only know how to be angry with me, right?" It wasn't the first day that he knew that his daughter was a snob.
She held the egg to her nose and sniffed it carefully. Then, she said seriously, "Daddy, this is an egg laid by a hen."
"How did you know?"
Could it be that his daughter had some special ability?
Li He was overjoyed. In an instant, he forgot that he was being treated differently.
"Roosters can't lay eggs …"
She looked at him as if he was an idiot.
He Juan had already confirmed that she was going to study in Singapore. This time, He Fang decisively did not take a single cent. She and Old Mrs. Han went to the airport to send her off.
"When you reach Singapore, there will naturally be someone to pick you up. Come out from the exit first. If you see your name on the boarding pass, it will be there to pick you up. If you really can't find it, "He Fang took out a small notebook from her pocket." Take this. It has my phone number, your family's phone number, and Singapore's phone number. If you really can't find it, just call them. "
"I don't even know them." Before this, He Juan was full of confidence and yearning. However, when it was really time to leave, she couldn't help but feel timid.
"The person who will pick you up is called Pan Yue. You can call her Auntie Pan." Although He Fang did not take the money, it did not mean that as an aunt, she did not care. In the end, she still asked Pan Yue, who was taking care of Five in Singapore, to pick her up at the airport. "Before school starts, stay at your fifth aunt's house. When school starts, ask your Auntie Pan to bring you to school to report."
There were only two direct flights to Singapore a week. She could only leave early. If she caught the next flight, school would probably have started.
He Juan said, "Got it."
"It's your son-in-law's sister's family. She also goes to school there. You've met her before. Although she's only a few years older than you, according to seniority, she's your aunt. You can't be impolite." Old Mrs. He was afraid that her granddaughter still did not understand, so she patiently reminded her, "If there's anything you don't understand, ask more. Don't be muddle-headed."
"There's even a weekend." Although Wu Chunyan was talking to her daughter, her eyes drifted to her sister-in-law. "Don't be bored at school all day."
Not only did He Fang ignore her words, but He Long also did not say a word.
Five had a bad temper, and He Juan was even less of a kind person. If something went wrong, it would not look good for either family.
This time, He Juan arrived in Singapore early. If Li He had not told her in advance, He Fang would not have considered letting her stay at Five's house, let alone let her stay there permanently in the future.
Wu Chunyan was about to mutter when Old Mrs. He spoke.
