Chapter 134
Chapter 134
His daughter was so outstanding and sensible, but he couldn't give her anything.
He could only tell his daughter on the phone not to feel sorry for the money. Now that she was in college, she should be happy and beautiful like other children!
The two walked side by side.
After a while, Xu Anruo asked softly:
"Is your father still on the construction site?"
"Well, the contractor had been taking care of him before, leaving him on the construction site to watch the gate, and then he, he would pick up waste around the construction site to sell..."
"So this is what you said before, your father works two jobs?"
Tan Zijin nodded.
Xu Anruo subconsciously reached into his pocket to touch the cigarette.
But he held back and didn't smoke.
Then he took a deep breath and asked with a smile:
"So, how much budget did you bring today?"
"Five hundred."
Tan Zijin replied.
Then she added with a somewhat guilty tone:
"It's already a lot."
It's already a lot?
Five hundred yuan is also a lot?
From her tone, it seems that spending money on yourself is wrong?
Come to think of it, Xu Anruo can understand her idea.
The family is in debt, it's not easy for her father to make money, and there are also grandma and sister.
So in her heart, the first priority of money is to pay off debts, and the second is to make her family feel a little more relaxed, and as for herself, it is the least important.
Xu Anruo frowned, her face serious, and said:
"Tan Zijin, I think you still don't understand what your father means!"
"Ah?"
Tan Zijin looked up at Xu Anruo.
At this time, her eye sockets were a little red, revealing confusion.
Xu Anruo didn't rush to answer, but asked again:
"Does your father know about the bonus?"
"Yes, I know."
"Then he must have told you to keep the money for yourself, right?"
"How did you know?"
Tan Zijin's eyes widened.
Xu Anruo smiled and pointed out the core of the problem:
"You are just too sensible, but your father doesn't want you to be so sensible, you know?"
"Because in his eyes, you are always his child. He may have limited ability, but he never evades his responsibility as a father. In his words, he hopes you can be like other children."
"But you still don't understand!"
"Your father wants you to be like other children, not just to buy yourself a few clothes. What he really wants to express is that he hopes you don't carry the burden and pressure of the family on yourself."
"You are a daughter, he is a father, no matter what, he is the pillar of this family. He would rather suffer a little more than you are reluctant to give up this and that, understand?"
At this point, Xu Anruo paused and took a deep breath.
Then, he continued in a gentle tone:
"Your father doesn't know how to express it, but that's what he meant."
"So, you have to learn to be nicer to yourself, even if it's a little selfish, it doesn't matter!"
"He won't blame you, on the contrary, he will be happier! In fact, grandma is the same, and even Zipei, they are just like you, they all want to take on more responsibilities, so that your sister can take on less responsibilities, and that little bit of hardship is a kind of sweetness for them."
"By the way, do you know? Before going to your house for dinner, Zipei specifically told me that if I don't like the food you cook, I can't say it's not delicious."
"But I have already made this secret with Zipei, and now I tell you, you can't tell anyone, otherwise..."
Xu Anruo hasn't finished speaking yet.
But Tan Zijin seemed to be stubborn, but she couldn't hold on any longer.
She held the sycamore tree beside her, squatted down slowly, buried her head, and sobbed softly.
There were many people coming and going, and they all noticed this side.
Xu Anruo was not afraid of being misunderstood, so he squatted down beside her.
He actually had an impulse to hug Tan Zijin.
But it was not appropriate to do it in public, and he was afraid of scaring Tan Zijin.
After squatting down, Xu Anruo thought about it and said with a smile:
"So, the people who are really worth your efforts never want you to give too much. Sometimes it is not wrong to stop at the right time and be nice to yourself. Remember?"
Tan Zijin, who was squatting, nodded vigorously.
Xu Anruo thought that she should have listened to it this time.
"Xu Anruo?
At this time, Tan Zijin called Xu Anruo.
"Hmm? "
Xu Anruo responded subconsciously.
But then, he frowned, as if this was the first time Tan Zijin called his name!
Then he watched Tan Zijin slowly raise his head, his little face was washed by tears, and the look he gave Xu Anruo when he turned his head made Xu Anruo's heart tremble.
ButShe was a thin-skinned girl. When their eyes met, she blushed and lowered her head quickly.
After a while, she asked in a low voice with uncertainty:
"Really, is it really like this?"
"You are a science student, logic is your strong point, what do you think?"
Xu Anruo asked back.
Tan Zijin did not speak.
After a while, she called Xu Anruo's name again:
"Xu, Xu Anruo?"
"Hmm?"
"You, I,... I want to say, thank you."
Tan Zijin's voice was very light. After speaking, he glanced at Xu Anruo and quickly turned away.
Xu Anruo was slightly stunned and smiled.
This was the second time that Tan Zijin took the initiative to say thank you to him.
But he shook his head and said:
"Are you just saying thank you?"
"Ah?"
Tan Zijin was startled.
Then he whispered:
"I don't know how to thank you, but I can do whatever you want me to do."
"What nonsense are you talking about! I just moved my lips, it's not a big deal!"
Xu Anruo said with a straight face.
Tan Zijin lowered her head and was at a loss again.
But Xu Anruo immediately changed her tone, squinted her eyes, and said:
"If you really want to thank me, just promise me one thing, how about it?"
"You say."
Tan Zijin responded quickly.
But it seemed that she was afraid that she would not be able to speak again, so she didn't dare to say more.
Xu Anruo didn't keep it a secret, and said bluntly:
"Well, you listen to my arrangements today, okay?"
"Ah? But, but..."
"But what? Don't worry, I promise I don't have any bad intentions."
"That's not what I mean."
"That's it, let's go, get up!"
Xu Anruo made the decision directly, without giving her a chance to refute.
He stood up first, and then subconsciously reached out to pull Tan Zijin.
Tan Zijin looked at the hand in front of her and was stunned for a moment.
Xu Anruo saw her hand twitch, but then shrank back, and then whispered:
"I, I can get up by myself."
"Okay!"
Xu Anruo nodded.
He naturally took his hand back.
Then Xu Anruo asked her to wait there for a while, turned around and went to a small store not far away to buy a pack of tissues, and handed it over when he came back.
As a result, he found that Tan Zijin was holding a small ball of paper in his hand, and whispered:
"I have it in my schoolbag."
"Ah, yes! You girls are like this."
Xu Anruo reacted and stuffed the tissue into her pocket.
