164. Misplaced life
"How are your uncle and your cousin doing in Pinghai?" Yu Tong pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked his son Yan Jinyu.
She and her brother Yu Jinjiang have always had a good relationship. Two years ago, Yu Jinjiang was deployed elsewhere due to work and didn't even have time to go home during the Chinese New Year.
Originally, she had planned to go to Pinghai with her son, but something happened at the company midway, so she had to let her son go as a representative. Fortunately, technology is so advanced now that people can often communicate with each other without having to meet each other. However, the connection through video calls is not as intuitive as seeing it in person.
No, as soon as his son came back, Yu Tong grabbed his son and asked about the current situation of his brother and nephew.
"When I went there, my uncle was busy and we only had a meal together. However, my cousin was still the same. He was taller than when he came back for the New Year last year, and his temper became more out-of-touch.
Speaking of his cousin, Yan Jin was not without envy.
Everyone thinks it is a blessing for him to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but there are some things that only the person involved knows.
When his cousin, who is one month younger than him, was playing around, he had to learn English, Russian, French and other common languages. When his cousin did not want to study and wanted to be a sports student, he had skipped the level and started studying high school and university courses. , even in financial management, you have to dabble in everything.
Many people envy his perfection, but being a perfect person is really tiring sometimes.
Of the twenty-four hours a day, he only spends six hours sleeping, and the rest of the time is fully scheduled. Occasionally playing a basketball game with his peers in the compound is a rare luxury and relaxation.
Yan Jinyu knew that he was the only child of his parents. Many people's eyes were focused on him, especially his father. Although the other party did not say it, Yan Jinyu could clearly feel that the other party did not seem to be what he showed. If he likes him so much, as long as he shows a little bit of lack of excellence, the disappointment in the other person's eyes will make him sad and speechless.
He thought that most children like them were like this. His cousin was just a little luckier. There was an older brother in front of him, so he could be himself happily.
Yan Jinyu calmed down his thoughts. In fact, he was much happier than those children who were born in remote mountainous areas. At least he did not need to worry about his livelihood, and all the knowledge he had learned now was his own.
Although his father was strict, his mother really loved him.
Yan Jinyu thought that he should stop being so pretentious. If others knew what he was thinking, they might think that he was getting an advantage and was acting like a good boy.
"That kid Haikuo has always been a monkey who can't stand still."
Speaking of her beloved nephew, Yu Tong couldn't help but smile. She couldn't bear it when she looked at the son in front of her who was sitting upright and didn't relax at all even in front of her own mother.
"Your dad is too strict with you. The vacation is not over yet. I am going around with my friends. If you are short of money, tell your mom."
To be honest, who wouldn't like an excellent and filial child, especially his own son.
When Yan Jinyu was young, the business of Yan Jibei and Yu Tong had just started. At that time, Mr. Yan took Yan Jinyu with him to take care of him because his grandson had forgiven them. Seeing that the couple could not even take care of themselves, he took Yan Jinyu with him to take care of them. When the children got older and started to become sensible, Yan Jibei pursued elite education and arranged a full schedule for the children's homework, which made the children endure the losses.
Yu Tong didn't dare to say that she was a responsible mother. She really didn't do much to take care of her son. Over the years, the company has been on the right track, and her children have grown up and become more sensible. They are not like they were when they were children. Act coquettishly and behave with her.
All she can do now is to provide financial support to her children. The same is true for other juniors in the family. The specific manifestation of which one they like is to give them more money and bring various gifts when they go on business trips.
"Mom, I have already agreed with Dad that I will go to his company for an internship when I get back from this trip. I am also in college now. This is a kind of social experience."
People flock together and birds of a feather flock together, Yan Jin and her friends are also among the elites of this generation, and having fun is quite a luxury for them. During the summer vacation, many people have already begun to try their luck in the industry that their parents have worked hard for, Yan Jin Jin Yun is naturally unable to lag behind others.
Yu Tong persuaded his son, but seeing that he was determined, he didn't say anything more.

"Do you think we pushed Jin Yu too hard?"
When going to bed at night, Yu Tong couldn't help but said to her husband beside her.
"Um?"
Yan Jibei was resting his head and opened his eyes when he heard his wife's words: "Did he complain to you?"
There was no joy in his tone.
"No, you don't know Jin Yu's temper yet. No matter how sad he is, he will swallow it alone and not let us know." Yu Tong shook his head.
"I think he is too old for his age. We didn't understand that much when we were nineteen years old. You would fight with the old man every now and then, or you would secretly climb the wall of my house and be beaten by me. Dad caught me and scolded me again."
Speaking of what happened when she was young, Yu Tong couldn't help but smile.
Back then, Yan Jibei was not as prestigious as he is now. He had a capable eldest brother in the family, and his younger son had always been in a semi-freedom state. Every day, he rode motorcycles with a group of second-generation people in the compound who were also not doing anything serious. Wearing sunglasses while walking around the city, I still feel that I am very handsome and majestic.
Therefore, Yan Jibei fell in love with Yu Tong at first, and when he wanted to have a relationship with her, the Yu family was not very happy.
The Yu family has many boys who are worthless. A girl like Yu Tong was born in three generations in a row. She is not a baby to be pampered. Her future plan must be to find a mature and stable husband. She will definitely not be a libertine like Yan Jibei. .
Who made Yan Jibei so shameless at that time? In addition, they grew up together and had a friendship that no one else could match. When his family objected, Yu Tong himself and Yan Jibei fell in love, and he had to be the one. .
Perhaps it was related to the opposition of his elders, but Yan Jibei had really made progress for a while. He followed Mr. Yan's arrangements to enter politics, and he seemed to have changed his mind and behaved well.
During that period of time, Yan Jibei was an example of a prodigal son turning back in the courtyard, a role model in the eyes of many parents.
When the Yu family saw this, they relaxed and agreed to the marriage between Yu Tong and Yan Jibei.
Who knew that not long after this kid got married, he suddenly resigned from the system and went into business. How could the Yu family tolerate this? Isn't this a fraudulent marriage?
At that time, he was angry, and Yu Tong kept speaking for her husband. The old man who headed the Yu family was also angry. He followed Mr. Yan and asked the younger members of the family not to give them any help. If not for the two families' positions at that time, they were equally firm. , Yan Jibei and Yu Tong's life really wasn't that sad during that time.
Apart from anything else, Yan Jibei had a good mind. He caught up with the trend and became one of the first businessmen to make a fortune. Yu Tong, as a virtuous wife, was influenced by what he heard and saw, and he soon had his own business.
Now he suddenly remembered the ups and downs of that period, and Yu Tong felt a little sad. Twenty years had passed, but when he thought about it, it felt like he was still in front of him.
"You just think too much."
Yan Ji took Beijiang's wife into his arms and patted her on the shoulder.
"Jin Yu's current situation is different from ours at that time. He has a heavy burden, and this is something he is willing to bear. I also thought that he could take over the job early, and then we would hand over the company to him. If that When we can still walk and dance, we can travel around the world, which is what I promised you back then.”
Before getting married, Yan Jibei promised his wife that he would take her to all the places she wanted to go. However, the couple had been busy with their careers in recent years. They went to many different countries, but they were all separated, and even if they passed , mostly for business, and I haven’t had a good stroll.
Yu Tong spat at her husband. How could he think of servile his own son so early?
But the smile on her face was exceptionally bright, as sweet and happy as a girl in first love.
Yu Tong felt that the most correct decision she made in her life was to marry Yan Jibei, whom everyone disliked, and time has proven that her choice was correct.
In this circle, there has never been a shortage of couples who are both beautiful and inseparable, especially now that temptation is so great. Not only men, but women are also tempted.
She has seen too many couples who appear to be in love for their respective families, but secretly have their own affairs. In comparison, Yan Jibei, who is clean and self-sufficient and has never had any gossip, seems commendable.
They have been married for so many years, and no matter how busy he is with business, he will never forget her birthday and wedding anniversary.
With a loving husband and a promising son, Yu Tong felt that she couldn't be luckier in this life.
The couple talked for a while, but Yu Tong couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep first.
Yan Jibei looked at his sleeping wife without moving his eyes for a long time.
As expected, people cannot make mistakes in this life, otherwise the anxiety and regret will be like poison attached to the bones, hurting the roots and rotten to the bone marrow.
His current happiness is to stand on a dangerous wall near a cliff. When the wall falls, he will be shattered to pieces.
Yan Jibei's expression was complicated, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He turned off the light and closed his eyes, not knowing whether to fall asleep.
*****
One year passed quickly. Zhang Guoqing took annual leave from the company. During the days of Yan Chu's college entrance examination, he accompanied Yan Chu almost 24 hours a day. After the college entrance examination, he dragged his son all over the mountain. Which temple is effective? , just go to any mountain to worship Buddha and burn incense.
I have almost finished studying for next year’s annual vacation, and finally waited for the day when the college entrance examination results will be released.
Early in the morning, Zhang Guoqing stayed by the landline at home and made a call when the time came.
"Ah Chu, grades are not the most important thing. Don't be sad if you don't do well in the exam. In fact, some junior colleges are not bad. At least you can learn a trade and you don't have to worry about starving to death in the future."
Lin Fang has become more and more sad this year. She often sheds tears in the wind. Zhang Guoqing is too lazy to pay attention to her. Yan Chu occasionally cares about her, but she doesn't take it to heart.
If Lin Fang hadn't been worried about filing for divorce, she would have told her son's life story regardless. Zhang Guoqing really didn't want to live with her anymore, but now his son was his weakness. If Lin Fang told the secret, Zhang Guoqing would I wonder what my son will think and whether he will want to find his biological father.
He didn't dare to bet on this possibility, so he could only tolerate Lin Fang.
But now that he heard the other party say such cold water, Zhang Guoqing really couldn't bear it anymore.
You said that it would be okay if your son's grades were always bad, but Yan Chu, including the original body of this body, has always had very good grades. The original body was lagging behind in mathematics, but he was top-notch in other subjects. Even if he failed to pass the exam, his grades Going to a prestigious university or getting a better undergraduate degree is a sure shot.
Not to mention that now that Yan Chu is here, his math scores have been getting better day by day this year. The teacher in the recent mock exams has said that if he can maintain his current scores, he can be admitted to several top colleges in the country. Looking forward to it.
Zhang Guoqing was so happy, but Lin Fang gave him a scoop of cold water. Can he accept it?
"We, Ah Chu, are going to a key university. If you think a junior college is good, then you can have a son go to a junior college in your next life."
Zhang Guoqing thought about the relationship between him and his son. In the next life, this child will definitely be reincarnated as his own. At that time, he will keep his eyes open and will no longer be entangled with the woman in front of him.
Who knows which unlucky guy will become her son at that time, anyway, it has nothing to do with his A Chu.
It's not that Zhang Guoqing looked down on junior college students. After all, everyone's academic talents are different, and junior college students can also produce talents who are useful to the country and society. He simply couldn't stand what Lin Fang said and was irritating her.
After all, Ah Chu was still her biological son, and she couldn't bear to see her son being so good.
Several times he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and the lights in his son's room were still on. Zhang Guoqing felt sorry for his son. After working so hard and giving so much, he still couldn't hear a good word from his mother's mouth.
Apart from anything else, if your son is studying so hard, you, a mother, can't help him cook some late-night snacks at night. If it doesn't work, you can always buy more fresh milk when you go to the supermarket on weekdays. But these caring and considerate things are not enough for Lin Fang. Nothing is visible on the body.
Zhang Guoqing's remaining concern for her has been exhausted by her actions. If this continues, he may not even have any face left.
Lin Fang couldn't see this, her fingernails were almost digging into her flesh. Her biological son was only a thousand times better than Zhang Chu in terms of future prospects. How could he possibly go to a junior college, unless Yan Jibei and Yu Tong were crazy? .
"Dad, Mom also cares about me. When the time comes, let's check the results."
Yan Chu lowered his head and drooped his eyelids, unable to see clearly the expression in his eyes.
In Zhang Guoqing's eyes, his son felt sad after hearing his mother's words, and he still wanted to defend her, which made him feel even more sorry for him, and he became even more impatient with Lin Fang.
"Yes, yes, let's check the results."
Zhang Guoqing didn't want to be unhappy on such an important day. He picked up the phone, made enough mental preparations, and dialed the number for checking college entrance examination scores.
