Chapter 61 Parents' Difficulties
"Oh! The big thing is not good... Dad! Why did you drink again today? Mom is back... Now you will be miserable..."
Lin Feng saw that his father's smell of alcohol could not escape his mother's sharp eyes, and he had already given up his plan to hide the evidence for his alcoholic father. He shook his head and said with a sigh.
"What are you afraid of? Xiaofeng, come...to have a drink with Dad. I don't have much chance to drink it when driving. It's hard to change shifts tomorrow. What's the matter with drinking?"
Lin's father had already drunk a little too much, and his speech was a little slurred.
However, although Father Lin said this nonchalantly, when Mother Lin entered the room with the vegetable basket, he couldn't help shivering, and his body instinctively wanted to hide the wine glass.
"Old Lin! Why is the smell of alcohol so strong? Are you drinking again?"
As soon as Mother Lin entered the room, she smelled the smell of wine, looked at Father Lin who was half drunk, went to the kitchen, put down the vegetable basket, and angrily put away Father Lin's liquor. "Dead drunkard, if he doesn't drive, he knows how to drink all day long..."
"Mom! Dad usually doesn't have a chance to drink until the beginning of work. It's hard to switch to a rest tomorrow, so let him drink..."
Seeing his father's miserable condition, Lin Feng couldn't help pleading. You know, Zhi'an City is a famous wine city, and men basically like it, let alone Father Lin, an old alcoholic. However, Lin's father works as a logistics driver. Alcohol is naturally prohibited during the five- and six-day shift, and only on the day off is the day when he has the opportunity to drink.
Therefore, every day before the rest day, Father Lin could not help drinking secretly while Mother Lin was not paying attention, but was always caught by Mother Lin and reprimanded him every time.
"Little brat, I haven't talked about you yet... The college entrance examination is coming soon. With the bottom score in your class, do you still want to go to college? It's fine if you don't go to college. Your dad and I don't even have the money to pay for you to go to college." University, after the college entrance examination, go out to work..."
Lin's mother immediately glared at Lin Feng, and cast her anger on Lin Feng's head as well, talking about Lin Feng's grades.
"Mom, don't worry... I will definitely work hard... I promise to get into a good university!"
In the past, every time Lin's mother talked about Lin Feng's grades, Lin Feng always bowed his head and felt ashamed, because his grades were so bad that they couldn't be worse, but this time, Lin Feng was very confident that he could get a good one in the exam. Achievements, so I promised with my head held high.
However, for Lin Feng's similar guarantee,
Mother Lin had heard it many times, but she never honored it once, so she said angrily: "Guarantee your size! You will have the last quality inspection in two days, and the parents will announce the results at that time... I will not go again Disgraceful...just call your alcoholic father..."
After Mother Lin finished speaking, she angrily went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Regarding Lin Feng, the father and son, she really had no other choice.
"Xiaofeng...it's dad who made you suffer... hey! It's also dad who is useless. After retiring from the army, he can only drive as a driver. He can't make much money and can't give you mother and son a good life...but don't worry, I discussed it with your mother. At that time, no matter how much you score in the test, I will lend you money to go to college. Don’t blame your mother for speaking harshly, she is actually a knife-mouthed bean curd heart... She has been with me for so many years and has suffered. It's not easy either!"
Lin's father, Lin Shengli, who was slightly drunk, also patted his son Lin Feng on the shoulder helplessly, and said guiltily.
"Dad! I'm sorry, I was ignorant before... I didn't study hard... But from now on, I will definitely not. I promise, next week's parent meeting will make Mom happy and see the fruits of her son's hard work. I will never embarrass her again..."
Seeing the situation at home, Lin Feng also felt ashamed of his ignorance in the past, and at the same time he was more eager to become stronger. He has never been so eager for the exam to come. He wants to prove to his parents that their son Lin Feng is really working hard, and he can also get good grades in the exam, and it is a very good grade.
During dinner, Lin's father and Lin's mother were very silent, Lin's mother had a sullen face, and Lin Feng didn't dare to offend his mother's anger. He knew that now he couldn't convince his mother no matter what he said, so he had to wait for the results of the quality inspection. After coming down, the mother will believe in her own efforts.
The smell of gunpowder on the dining table was so strong that Lin Feng took a few mouthfuls of food quickly, then hid in the bedroom to read a book. After Lin Feng left, Lin's mother, who had been sullen all this time, calmed down, changed a worried expression, sighed, and said to her husband, "Old Lin! Look at Xiao Feng's current grades...but What should I do? If I can’t get into a good university in the future, is it really worth the high price to go to that kind of vocational technical secondary school? But our family now...don’t have that much money...or...I’ll call my elder brother and them first Say hello, and ask them to borrow some when the time comes?"
"My Lin Shengli's son is going to college. I will figure out the money myself. At the beginning, your eldest brother and they opposed you marrying me, and looked down on me as a soldier. Xiaofeng wants to go to college. I will never ask them to borrow money. ..."
Father Lin had a slightly heavy tone, and after a pause, he said, "You must study. In today's society, if you don't have a diploma...how can you find a job? Is it like me, driving and delivering goods for the rest of my life? Yes...Guizhu! Don't talk about Xiaofeng recently, I think Xiaofeng also knows that he has to study hard...there is only one month left for the college entrance examination, don't put pressure on your child..."
"Hey! Why doesn't this little bastard live up to expectations?" Mother Lin said with a sigh.
"Guizhu! It's all my fault that I don't know how to make money. You have been suffering with me for so many years...Your elder brother and they were right. If you marry me, I can't give you a good life...You must regret that you didn't listen to you back then. Big brother..."
Seeing his wife's sad face, Lin Shengli said with self-blame.
But Mother Lin smiled instead and said, "Old Lin, what are you thinking? I am willing to marry you, and I am willing to endure hardships with you, as long as you treat me wholeheartedly. There is no regret or no regret... Now! I hope that the little bastard can win a little bit, and it will be fine if he is admitted to an ordinary second-level university..."
...
The conversation between the parents at the dining table in the living room was overheard by Lin Feng who was hiding behind the bedroom door. Seeing his father's self-blaming and guilty expression, and hearing his mother's expression of no regrets with a smile, Lin Feng's eyes were wet unconsciously. He clenched his fists and said firmly in his heart: "Dad! Mom! Little Feng will not let you down... Mom, I will definitely let you live a good life. Dad, from now on, leave the burden of this family to me..."
