333, People Who Are Good to You 5

Yan Yanjun and Jiang Shufen feel that their recent life is quite fucked up, but they can't tell people around them how frustrated they are recently. They feel a sense of bitterness that cannot be expressed.

"Old Yan, you are so lucky. Among us old friends, who has such a blessing as you, can still enjoy the blessing of your son when you are old."

As soon as Yan Yanjun arrived at the office, he heard the flattery of those colleagues. Who made his son become a big boss and return home in glory? The news spread throughout Lin City in a short time. Everyone around them knows that the Yan family has become rich.

Speaking of it, because of the high housing prices now, it is said that raising children is to prevent old age, but often both parents have suffered for most of their lives, and in the end, they still have to save up for their sons to save up for the down payment and cars. Before saving enough for the house and car, they still have to worry about the expenses of their children's marriage and the subsidies for raising grandchildren in the future.

Let alone being respected by your children, it would be a great blessing if your children didn't bite you to death.

But Yan Yanjun was different. Everyone in the company knew that his son was obedient and filial. The first thing he did when he came back was to buy a big villa and put it in his parents' name. When the house was delivered and renovated, they would be able to move in.

That was the best real estate in Lin City. Those who lived there were either rich or noble. Just because he had a good son, Yan Yanjun ran ahead of everyone.

"What the hell!"

Yan Yanjun pulled the corner of his mouth. He felt bitter, but in front of his colleagues, he still had to hold it in and couldn't say it.

Yes, he was very happy that his son had made progress, but a series of things that followed made him feel that his son was too rich and too successful, which might not be a good thing.

The Yan family's conditions are not bad. Jiang Shufen and Yan Yanjun are both workers. When there was a wave of layoffs, Jiang Shufen's factory was not profitable, so she was laid off by buying out her seniority. Yan Yanjun changed factories. Because of his good diploma, he has now made it to a small management position.

With the money they saved and the compensation from Jiang Shufen's seniority, the Yan family bought two small stores. They rented them out over the years and earned 5,000 yuan a month. This is enough for the family's expenses in the low-cost Lin family. With Yan Yanjun's salary, the family can live a very comfortable life.

But perhaps because he had come from a hard life, Yan Yanjun was very frugal in his daily expenses. He only smoked Xuejuan cigarettes, which cost seven yuan a pack. This kind of cigarette was spicy and choking. At first, he smoked this kind of cigarette to save money. Later, he gradually got used to it and Yan Yanjun really couldn't give it up. Even though his income now fully supports him smoking 20 to 31 packs, or even more expensive cigarettes, he didn't change Xuejuan.

Half a pack of Xuejuan every day has almost become a habit for Yan Yanjun.

But now it is different. Since his son enrolled him in some etiquette and health classes, he has become guilty of smoking Xuejuan. If he is caught by those teachers, he will be punished. Now Yan Yanjun dare not smoke in front of his family. He smokes Xuejuan secretly every day, just like a thief.

That's fine. At his age, he wears clothes as he feels comfortable. In addition, the place where he works is a group of old workers who were lucky enough not to be laid off. They wear old man shirts and baggy pants. For an old man like Yan Yanjun who has gained weight in middle age and has a general's belly, this is his favorite dress.

But now it is different. All the clothes he liked in the past have been thrown away by those etiquette teachers. Because the clothes must be in line with his status and cultivation, he is forced to wear a shirt and suit with a heavy sense of restraint and a belt. Every day, his big belly feels tight and he has no taste in life.

Yan Yanjun didn't want to resist, but what did the relatives around him say?

They said that he was now of a different status. When he went out, he represented the face of Ah Chu, a young billionaire. They couldn't be so selfish and only care about their own enjoyment without taking care of their sons.

Also, isn't it good to wear a suit and leather shoes? The price of casually tens of thousands is not even affordable for ordinary people. These clothes represent the filial piety of their sons to them. If they don't accept them, they will fail their sons' kindness.

With this great truth in front of him, what else can Yan Yanjun say? Even if he is reluctant in his heart, he can only endure it.

Colleagues in the office just think he is modest and never think about the distress in Yan Yanjun's heart.

The same scene also happened to Jiang Shufen.

As a standard old lady in her 50s, her aesthetics fully reflects the mainstream preferences of this age group.

With her curly brown hair, red and purple dress, tattooed eyebrows and eyeliner, and applied powder and lipstick, she is the most beautiful square dancer. But since she took the etiquette class, all her previous preferences have been overturned.

Red and green clothes cannot be worn. Instead, women's dresses with so-called high-grade gray tones are worn. They are simply cut with almost no extra lines, and they are expensive and high-grade everywhere. However, such clothes, in Jiang Shufen's eyes, mean ordinary and ugly. She is forced to wear such "simple" clothes. She can't even bring her little flower fan to the community garden to find her group of little sisters to dance square dance.

Obviously her family is rich, but her favorite mahjong activity in the past was canceled, and her favorite activity of gossiping about parents' filial piety was severely stopped. Jiang Shufen was just like a puppet, forced to learn from those teachers. At the beginning After getting over the heat, I am now thinking about how to get rid of this kind of counseling.

"No, I have to talk to my son."

After two months of tutoring, Yan Yanjun and Jiang Shufen came up with the same idea.

******

"Dad, Mom, what do you want to say to me?"

Yan Chu returned home and sat down. Because the villa he bought had not yet been renovated, the family still lived in their old home.

Today, Yan Chu received a series of life-threatening calls from his parents, so he took some time out of his busy schedule to go home for dinner.

He looked at the couple sitting opposite him and probably guessed their main purpose of coming back this time. Two months was almost their limit.

"Ah Chu, your dad and I just want to ask you if you can quit the etiquette class and the health class. Your dad and I are not young anymore, and we really don't want to suffer this anymore."

Ever since her son became capable, Jiang Shufen couldn't teach him the same tone as her elders used to teach her younger ones. There was really a huge gap between the two. This son's current achievements were no longer something she, a mother, could guide.

"Look at those nutritionists. They don't give you food here, and they don't give you food that. How old are your dad and I? Even if we live a long life, it's only twenty or thirty years. Why can't we eat something we like? Where's the thing?"

Jiang Shufen was a little aggrieved. She loved to eat melon seeds the most, but those people said that eating melon seeds was bad for her teeth. If she was asked to eat the peeled melon seeds, she would lose the soul of the melon seeds. What's the point?

There is also seafood that she dislikes the most. Because of its high nutritional value, the nutritionists forced her to eat some seafood with every meal. After attending the tutoring class, I never had enough food again.

"That's it, why don't you just eat some pig's trotters? I've been eating them for so many years and my body is still fine. Why are those people so busy and not letting me eat them?"

Speaking of changes in diet, Yan Yanjun was also very angry.

Many people who came from that era were short of oil and water. Perhaps it was because of the shortage at that time that now every household can afford to eat meat. He still loves those oily and heavy meats.

"Mom and Dad, this is all for your own good. Why are you so disobedient?"

Yan Chu frowned after hearing his parents' complaints: "Dad, you have high blood pressure and high blood lipids. Eating those greasy pig's trotters will also be a big burden on your body. And Mom, you love spinach too much." "It contains high oxalic acid and purine content. You forget that you have kidney stones. The doctor has said that you shouldn't eat more of that stuff."

These words of his are all well-founded, but they are the things that the old couple likes to eat, and they have a great impact on their health. However, they are unwilling to give up their appetites, and they are lucky. Over the years, , and I didn’t have any taboos.

"Isn't this how you educated me when I was a child? How come you can't set a good example for me now?"

Yan Chu was a little puzzled and helpless, thinking that when Yuan Shen was a child, his parents were very strict in controlling his diet.

Before he went to college, he didn't know what KFC and McDonald's were like. When he was in elementary school, he couldn't resist the temptation and ate a bunch of fried skewers on the roadside. He was accidentally discovered by Jiang Shufen who came to pick him up from school. Well Guys, it’s a doubles game between men and women when we get back.

In the original memory, his meals were always forced to follow the portions set by his parents.

He can't eat as much rice as he wants, or how many bites of vegetables and meat he wants.

From a starting point, the couple must be doing it for their son's good, but is this approach of being strict with others and lenient with self-discipline, as well as an attitude that is too harsh to the point of perversion, really correct?

"Mom, Teacher Lin told me that you wore your red and green dress and went dancing in the park community a few days ago. Didn't I buy you a lot of big-name dresses? Don't wear cheap clothes worth a hundred yuan, otherwise people will think my son is unfilial. Also, the jewelry appraisal teacher told me before that in the jewelry class, you actually stood up in front of the whole class. How can you say gold is better than diamonds and emeralds in front of outsiders? How tacky!”

Jiang Shufen was stunned for a moment after being sprayed. She really thinks gold is good. If she likes gold, she also likes to commit crimes?

"And Dad." After saying that, Yan Chu turned his attention to Yan Yanjun: "When I enrolled you in the wine appreciation class before, the teacher said that your study attitude was very bad, and the students in the same class as you were almost the same as you. Uncles at this age, some of their sons are not as good as mine. Your grades are so bad, you are embarrassing me."

The couple originally wanted to persuade their son to help them withdraw from these classes, but instead they were scolded by their son, and they couldn't stand it immediately.

"No matter what, I won't take these classes."

Yan Yanjun had a bad temper. He was an old man, so why was he now being trained like a grandson by his son?

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore."

Yan Chu waved his hand, took out his mobile phone, and made several calls in succession.

"Aunt/Aunt/Uncle/Uncle-in-law, please come to my house and persuade my parents. I am doing everything for their own good, so why don't they listen?"

Looking at their son complaining to his relatives, Yan Yanjun and Jiang Shufen felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had seen this scene before.

However, the person making the call had changed.
