Lu Baichuan nodded and said: "We will definitely support you if you want to go out, but now that the second sister-in-law is still pregnant, I suggest you wait until she gives birth before going."
"Okay, then Listen to you!"
Lu Laoer was persuaded. Although he felt that his wife had already given birth twice and there should be no problem this time, he was still willing to listen to the third brother and wait for her to give birth. Go again after finishing.
Lu Baichuan said again: "Second brother, I remember your character. You are not the kind of person who likes to be adventurous. Why do you suddenly want to leave?"
The specific reason is that he I can probably guess some, but I still want to hear Lu Laoer say it himself.
Sure enough, when asked about this topic, Lu Laoer's face darkened, with a look of annoyance on his face.
"You are right, I am really not the kind of person who likes to be adventurous. I want to be content with the status quo. I even feel that the life in our family is very comfortable now. I don’t want to go anywhere in this life. I just stay. When we are with our parents, we should eat, drink, and work, just like before."
He adjusted his mood and spoke with a wry smile.
Lu Baichuan thought there was nothing wrong with this, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the real you, why do you want to go out suddenly?"
"Because our family is now Life is getting better, and everyone can do what they want. The third brother and sister once asked us what dreams we all have. The eldest brother wants to be a goldsmith, and now he has gone to learn the art from a teacher, and the sister-in-law wants to open a restaurant, and now I also became an apprentice to the chef of the restaurant, not to mention you and the third brother and sister, each has his or her own abilities. We, the second room, seem to have no progress at all, no dreams at all, I’m worried..."
"Seeing that my third child is about to be born, but I still accomplish nothing, I am not as good as my elder brother and even worse than you. I feel that I have embarrassed my family and will also embarrass my children in the future..."
Having said this, Lu Laoer wiped his face and sighed again, feeling that life is really difficult.
I used to find it difficult when I was poor, but I think it won’t be difficult when life gets better in the future.
But now that life is getting better, people have other pursuits, and their hearts seem to never be satisfied and are always greedy.
And if he doesn’t want to make progress, he will be left behind by his brothers.
“I don’t understand,” Lu Baichuan interrupted him, “You are obviously a person with dreams, how can you say you don’t have dreams?”
Lu Lao Er Not understanding, she turned her head and looked at him.
Lu Baichuan continued: "Your dream is to be content with the status quo, stay at home, accompany your parents and wife, and take care of the home.As long as you follow your own heart and do it, why bother worrying so much? Even if you go against your will and go to the grassland, you won't be happy with the process, and you may even feel more stressed. What's the point of living like that? "
"Everyone has his own ambitions. My eldest brother wants to be a goldsmith, I want to be a general who protects our country and our country, and you just want to be yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. "
"What's more, my eldest brother and I will leave home for our own reasons, and there will be no one to respect our parents. Wouldn't you just be helping me and my eldest brother by staying at home? "
Having said this, Lu Baichuan patted him on the shoulder, with a very gentle look on his face, and continued: "Being a role model for children does not necessarily mean you have to do something big. In the eyes of children, your Every word and deed can become the object of his imitation. You are his father. As long as you love your wife, honor your parents, assume the responsibility of a father, and raise them up, you can already become their role model. ”
“Let me give you an example. I was absent from the most important four years of Gou’er’s life and did not participate in his growth, but he felt that I was his father, so he still regarded me as his father. example. Of course, this is inseparable from Jiu Niang’s teachings, there is no doubt about it. "
He knew that the second brother had now entered a dead end and began to doubt himself. This was a normal phenomenon. As long as he figured it out, he would find that it was really not a big deal.
Lu Laoer was indeed surprised by his words. He always thought that people must be like the eldest brother and third brother, with dreams and pursuits, in order to become a role model for their children, but the third brother My brother told him that this was not the case. If you do your own thing seriously, you can also shine.
With just a few words, the things he had been struggling with during this period suddenly became clear. , with tears in his eyes, he wiped his face to cover it up. How can a big man shed tears casually? Wouldn’t it be a joke if children saw it?
"Okay, I understand, it turns out that it has always been It's me who didn't understand it! "
He burst into laughter, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I tell you. I'm actually quite scared. As you said, the road is difficult and you might encounter horse bandits. I can't. I am not a man of letters and martial arts, so I will be a burden to others when I go out, and I don’t want to go out and drag others down. "
The words of the two brothers were inflamed. Mrs. Sun came over from a distance, pointed at the two brothers and cursed: "Didn't I ask you to buy mutton? Why are you still chatting here for such a while? Don’t you want to eat tonight? "
The two brothers looked at each other, jumped up from the ground in a hurry, faced Sun with a playful smile, and then ran out quickly: "I know, I know, let's go buy it now! "
" "Third brother, stop right here!" youIf you look like that, don't go out and scare people, stay home and kill chickens and ducks! "
After arriving home, Lu Baichuan took off his mask. Naturally, he was watched by everyone at home for a while, but his appearance now is much better than at the beginning. He is not so scary, and everyone is also looking at him. She just said a few words of comfort and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ms. Sun was still worried that he would scare the villagers by going out like this. Then the villagers would start gossiping again, and she was too lazy to talk to those people. I explained one by one, so I tried my best not to let him run out like this.
Lu Baichuan, who had all run to the door, glanced at his second brother, and after meeting his second brother’s silly smile, he touched his nose and turned gray. Liuliu came back.
“Mom, how many chickens and ducks do you need to kill? ”
As he said this, he started looking for chickens and ducks in the yard, and found that the yard was clean, let alone chickens and ducks, not even a piece of chicken daddy.
Mrs. Sun felt bad when she saw him like that, and wanted to curse when he opened his mouth, but it seemed that this was his first time back and he was not very familiar with things at home, so he said: "The chickens and ducks are raised outside, let Leizi take care of them." You go and catch them. There are many people at home tonight, and your brother Fugui and the others will also come. Four chickens and ducks each will be enough. ”
Lu Baichuan nodded repeatedly and asked Lei Zi to catch chickens and ducks together, while Lu Lao Er also drove the carriage to buy mutton.
Lu Lao Er felt relieved. Second, he was humming little songs along the way. He had thought about it, and he would be like this for the rest of his life. He would listen to his third brother and accompany his wife at home to take care of his parents. He was also optimistic about the properties at home, so he started with them. Same plan.
