Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 168 Father and Mother

I stayed at home for two very boring days.

Bai Yang didn’t have many friends in Nanxi Town. He did have some playmates when he was a child, but as he went to Xiangdong County to attend junior high school, his playmates naturally became distant from him. Not to mention his rebirth, after such a long time, Bai Yang had even forgotten their names and appearances.

After all, childhood sweethearts are something that only a few people can have.

Apart from typing every day, he could only play with his mobile phone - and Bai Dejun often came to urge Bai Yang to spend more time typing.

It is not convenient that my father is one of the readers. Fortunately, Bai Yang is not a frequent updater, otherwise, I would probably be locked in the room and forced to type.

As the New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger. The sound of firecrackers can often be heard all around. It's either a housewarming party or a wedding banquet. Bai Yang also went out to attend two banquets and felt his weight skyrocketing.

Then it was time for Mom to come home.

Early in the morning, Bai Dejun went to the market to buy a bunch of ingredients. He was busy at home for the whole morning and prepared a large table of dishes. Then he and Bai Yang went to the bus stop in the town on time.

Not long after, a bus slowly approached and passengers swarmed out. Bai Yang immediately saw a middle-aged woman carrying large and small bags.

He was much younger than I remembered from my previous life, his hair was not yet gray, and he was very thin.

"mom."

Bai Yang called out.

"You don't have to come pick me up. I'm only two steps away." Mother You Shulian smiled and looked Bai Yang up and down: "You've grown taller."

"Boys of this age grow a lot every day." Bai Dejun took the luggage from You Shulian and said, "I'm glad you're back. You must have been on the bus for a long time. The food is ready."

"Okay." You Shulian glanced at Bai Dejun and said naturally, "Didn't you say you would cook after I come back? Even a dog would despise your cooking skills."

"It's not that bad, right? Bai Yang eats it very happily." Bai Dejun didn't mind and said with a smile.

"Whatever this child eats, he enjoys it." The two walked side by side towards home.

Bai Yang followed silently behind, feeling filled with emotion.

Even if I were to live my life over again, I wouldn't notice anything unnatural between them. They were just an ordinary middle-aged couple.

However, if one stands in the position of someone who has long known the truth that the two of them are not in harmony with each other, Bai Yang can still perceive that the two of them did not show any longing for each other after a long separation, nor did they show any intimacy.

When they got home, the food was still hot. The three of them sat around the table. Bai Dejun and You Shulian were talking and laughing, and they picked up some food for Bai Yang from time to time. They were a typical loving family of three.

"Yang Yang, how did you do in your final exam?" You Shulian asked.

"Fifth in the class."

The results just came out today, and Ye Guodong made a special phone call to Bai Dejun to inform him.

I guess other students are not immune. It’s okay for those with good grades, but those with poor grades probably won’t have a good year.

"That's not bad." You Shulian nodded with satisfaction: "Xiangdong No. 1 Middle School is a good school. If I rank fifth in the class, I can get into a first-class university, right?"

"Yes." Bai Yang seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to tell You Shulian that he had changed to an art student, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"There is still more than a year before the college entrance examination, so you must keep it up." You Shulian continued to talk to herself: "I don't ask you to get into a key university, a first-class university is enough. You don't know that in today's society, there is a huge difference between college students and non-college students."

"When I was working outside, many places could not recruit people without a college degree. For example, I could only do odd jobs, while college graduates were all working in offices."

Bai Dejun interrupted, "What's so good about sitting in an office?"

"My son doesn't need to work in an office. He doesn't need to rely on his education to find a job."

You Shulian glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think those people working in offices in big cities can make the same as you? They can earn thousands of dollars a month!"

"My son now earns more than 100,000 yuan a month!" said Bai Dejun.

"You were bragging on the phone, and you're still talking about this now that I'm back. I think you've lost your mind." You Shulian put down her chopsticks: "It's okay to lie to yourself, but is it appropriate to say this in front of Yang Yang?"

Bai Yang raised his hand weakly: "Mom, it's true."

"Don't interrupt me!" You Shulian glared at Bai Yang, then pointed at Bai Dejun and cursed: "More than 100,000 yuan a month? Is it so easy to make money? Do you think you are a big boss in business? Yang Yang is still a student, what's the point of saying these unrealistic dreams?"

Bai Dejun raised his eyebrows, "He has long hair but little knowledge. Yang Yang is now a writer! He is much more powerful than any big boss. What's wrong with a hundred thousand a month? I checked online. Once the copyright is sold, it can be several million!"

"A writer?" You Shulian didn't think that her son, whom she hadn't seen for only half a year, could suddenly become a writer.

No, it’s not that I don’t think so, but it’s just instinct that I don’t think about it at all.

She watched her son grow up. Although she always hoped that he would become a successful person, You Shulian had long accepted the reality that her son was not a genius, but just an ordinary teenager. She never expected him to become rich and powerful, but only hoped that he would grow up safely and find a stable job.

Writer?

Nonsense.

That's why he was even more angry. He always felt that he was not at home. This Bai Dejun had read so many novels that his brain became stupid and he had hysteria.

It doesn’t matter if he is stupid, but if he leads his son astray, You Shulian will definitely not be able to accept it.

Bai Yang looked at You Shulian's expression and felt that the situation was getting out of control. He quickly stood up and said, "Mom, don't worry."

"I'm definitely not a writer, but I do make some money writing online." He took out his cell phone and looked up the text message from his bank card.

You Shulian took it, glanced at the number on it, and then stared at Bai Yang suspiciously: "Are you teaming up with your father to deceive me?"

"Balance. Over 300,000? I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"Mom, I really didn't lie to you." Bai Yang said, "It's easy to make up some information, but it's impossible to make up the money in the card, right? Can't you just go to the bank ATM and take a look?"

"Hey, I really have to go!"

You Shulian stood up in a hurry, not even eating: "Where's your bank card? Give it to me."

Bai Yang didn't say much and silently handed over the bank card.

Then You Shulian rushed out.

At the dinner table, only Bai Yang and Bai Dejun were left looking at each other.

Bai Dejun sighed: "It's normal for her to be unable to accept it for the time being. She has been poor all her life."

Bai Yang nodded.

This is why he has been so cautious in his attitude towards this matter.

Just now, there was not only anger on You Shulian's face, but also confusion - the confusion of facing something she didn't understand.

"It's better to wait a little longer before telling her about your transfer to art school." Bai Dejun added, "Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep for the next few days."

He laughed at himself: "You already think I'm crazy."

"You'll get used to it eventually." Bai Yang said softly, "I just wanted to tell my mom that there's no need to work outside anymore. It's too hard."

Bai Dejun was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, with Bai Yang's current income, You Shulian does not need to travel thousands of miles away to work hard to earn a few thousand yuan every month, but
It would probably be even more difficult for You Shulian to accept having to raise her child with her son who is still in high school.

At least Bai Dejun himself couldn't accept it, and was unwilling to take even a dollar from Bai Yang.

Besides, if he didn't go out, would he stay at home? It was fine to act in front of Bai Yang for a short time, but for a long time, neither of them could stand it.

For the first time, Bai Dejun began to consider whether he could reveal to Bai Yang the fact that he and You Shulian were divorced.

My son has matured a lot recently and doesn’t seem like a minor anymore, so maybe he can accept it.

The two did not continue eating, but waited quietly. The Agricultural Bank was obviously not far away, but You Shulian did not come back until more than half an hour later.

His face is very pale.

When she saw that the number was real, her mind went blank. She thought the ATM was broken, so she tentatively withdrew 500 yuan and checked the balance before she really believed it.

Then I deposited the 500 yuan back, feeling a little sad about wasting the withdrawal fee.

Then I started to think about what was going on.

Her son earned more than 300,000 yuan in just half a year - with her current income, even if she didn't eat or drink, she would have to save it for nearly ten years.

What bad things had he done to earn such an unreasonable amount of money?

As soon as this thought came into her mind, it was denied by You Shulian.

He believed that his son would never do anything illegal, and as long as Bai Dejun was not insane, he also believed that as a teacher, he had the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong. If Bai Yang had really broken the law, he would not have this attitude.

So, my son really became a writer?
He actually has this kind of talent?

You Shulian was confused at first, then happy, and then at a loss again -

Mixed feelings.

She stood in front of the ATM for almost twenty minutes until someone knocked on the door and urged her to go back. Then, You Shulian woke up as if from a dream. She carefully put away her bank card and returned home in fear.

Sitting at the table again, looking at the cold dishes, You Shulian put the bank card back in front of Bai Yang and asked in a daze, "Yang Yang, do you not need to study anymore?"

"Of course you have to read it." Bai Yang said quickly, "Not only do you have to read it, but you have to work harder. After all, the success of this book is a result of luck. You may not be able to make so much money in the future. It's like winning the lottery. You can't just stop living after winning the lottery, right?"

Although Bai Yang knew that he would earn more in the future, he still compared this money to a windfall.

At least this way, You Shulian would be able to accept it better and would not feel that her son has become a stranger because of the huge difference between before and after. After all, winning the lottery is something that anyone can do, right?
As expected, You Shulian's expression finally calmed down a little, and she instinctively agreed: "That's right, I heard that many people who won the lottery spent all their money in a few months, and then lived a worse life."

"Studying hard is the foundation of a stable life. You don't have to make that much money. The most important thing is stability."

"Mom is right." Bai Yang stood up: "I'll go heat up the food, it's all cold."

"I'll do it." You Shulian said quickly, "Just sit down."

She paused: "Yang Yang, you are really sensible now."

"Mom is really happy."
