Chapter 2247: Having Offended Rick, He Still Wants to Run Away
At the table, the atmosphere of the family of five is always strange.
Whenever Jerry asks Rick to pass the pepper, Rick will say something sarcastic: "Do you still need the help of an old man who can't teach his children? I thought you would be responsible for everything in your daily life." Rick is quite vindictive. Once he is resentful, he will not stop until others cry and admit that they are wrong.
Obviously, Jerry's previous education made Rick resentful.
Rick has been thinking about how he should teach Jerry, who is getting more and more excessive, and let him know who is the father who can't teach his children? It must not be Rick, then it must be Jerry.
The children saw that their grandfather and father were angry again, and they didn't want to eat anymore. In fact, as children, their ideas are always ignored. Adults always focus on their own things and work hard for their goals, and children always become stumbling blocks for adults.
The reason why Morty and Xia Mo like their grandfather is that their grandfather always takes them on adventures. Although Morty is reluctant on the surface, he still likes it in his heart. Although it is very dangerous, he feels indescribably satisfied every time he comes back from an adventure. Although Morty did not learn anything from the adventure, adventure was purely a spice of daily life for him, just like no one would learn knowledge from addictive drugs.
Rick never took the initiative to guide Morty to learn, so after so many adventures, Rick's mental state did not improve at all, and he only stayed in superficial stimulation.
Sister Xia Mo was even more so. She simply liked the change of environment, which could make her forget the troubles of growing up in adolescence.
It was obviously impossible for Beth and Jerry, the parents, to let their children get such relief. After all, they had enough troubles before, and with the various contradictions and dissatisfactions accumulated in the past seventeen years, it was good that the couple did not tear their faces in front of their children. But children are sensitive, and they also vaguely know that their parents' relationship is not good. In such an environment, they will naturally want to leave and escape this tense atmosphere.
But now Jerry has changed. He no longer opposes his children to go on adventures with their grandfather, but adventures are adventures. When they come back, they have to write a post-travel review, and they have to end the process and spiritual journey of the adventure well. They have to make a good ending.
"So you are a teacher now? What do you want my grandchildren to learn from the adventure?" Rick thought Jerry's request was asking for more: "Maybe I should send your brain to the coolant of the hyperdrive to clean it. You are turning the sacred adventure into a stereotyped educational activity. You are depriving the fun of adventure." Rick absolutely disagrees with writing adventure thoughts, it's too stupid.
"If you don't do this, you just use adventure as a way to escape. You will go to a place and make a mess. In the end, you seem to be satisfied, but in fact you are just using exciting behavior to numb yourself and achieve the purpose of escaping from reality."
"What's wrong with that?" Rick said that this is enough, what else do you want? "You should reflect on why your children want to escape from reality." It's a counterattack.
That's because the parents' relationship is not good and there are too many conflicts.
"I have been working hard on Beth and I. And I have also summed up the lessons learned. In the end, we were too young at the time and did not think through many decisions. That's why we feel that if we change the way we do things, we may have a different life, but there is no second chance in life. It is precisely because we have gone through quite a lot of detours as parents that we don't want our children to repeat the same mistakes." Jerry said earnestly: "Jerry, if you were with Beth at the time, would you allow her to get pregnant at the age of seventeen?"
"Of course not!"
"That's right, you hope Beth can be better, and I also hope my children can be better, so I absolutely can't let my two children become like you." Jerry was not polite either. Rick was a bad role model. He was simply very good at escaping and paralyzing these two skills: "They are still young. They have to learn to face real problems, learn to accept reality, and learn lessons from reality."
Rick was very upset when he saw that the other party always used himself as an example: "You guy, I really should turn you into an embryo and send you to drift on the Mississippi River." He was anxious, he was anxious, because Jerry touched his sore spot, and Rick was indeed the one who could not face reality the most.
When the world is in danger, he will even abandon his family and take his grandson to another universe, without the courage to face the disaster with his family.
Jerry is upright at this time, backed by the truth, and he doesn't have to be afraid of Rick at all, even if the other party is the smartest earthling in the universe. Rick has weaknesses, and he doesn't know himself, and he tries every means to cover it up. Jerry naturally doesn't want his children to be affected.
Jerry is very smart, but he always ignores some situations. It can only be said that his ideology is too serious. He forgets that the best way to avoid tragedy is to learn lessons.
The Bible says, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, and there is nothing new under the sun." Although this makes sense, although humans are repeaters, it does not mean that humans should give in and give up learning lessons.
Rick obviously gave up, but Jerry did not. He hoped that his children could learn lessons.
Rick was so anxious that he couldn't agree with Jerry anymore. He must teach him a lesson. Rick will not be changed by others, only he can change others.
An idea gradually took shape in Rick's mind, that is, to defeat Jerry with Jerry. If Jerry is really so good at teaching others, then we have to see if he can meet his requirements. If he can't do it himself, then he has no right to talk nonsense.
So, Rick immediately went to study. He wanted to create a super Jerry to supervise Jerry. As a guy who can drive Mr. Mission Must Be Complete crazy, Rick didn't believe that he could really meet his high requirements.
It only took a few days for Rick's research to produce results. A super Jerry made a brilliant appearance. He could receive Jerry's brain waves and copy Jerry's moral concepts to ask Jerry himself: "Let me see if you can do what you say." Rick was full of confidence. He felt that Jerry would never be able to do it, and then Jerry could shut up. Jerry only had one position in this family, that is, the object of everyone's ridicule. There was no need to have an additional attribute of preaching. Rick must correct his son-in-law.
Super Jerry appeared, but Jerry gladly accepted the challenge: "I will prove that I can practice what I preach."
"It's better to do it, otherwise Super Jerry will not be polite to you." Rick said: "Then that's it, I'm leaving first." He was going back to the garage to monitor his son-in-law 24 hours a day to see if he could really do it. He definitely couldn't do it, and there would be a lot of jokes. Once there was a joke, Rick would rush to the scene to laugh at it, not only laugh but also add insult to injury, gloat over the misfortune, take advantage of the situation, and make things worse.
