In the afternoon, grandma had to go back to her own home to take a nap. Shen Changan was stopped by his mother and was not allowed to leave, so he had to stay at home.
After grandma left, Wang Cuimei called him to the study on the second floor.
"Let's go. Your dad is looking for you. Even if you ask your grandma to be your lobbyist, this matter still needs to be resolved."
Shen Changan knew that he couldn't hide, so he asked his grandmother to come over and help say a few words, at least to let them know his grandmother's attitude.
Shen Changan followed behind his mother. Since he decided to do it, he had already thought about the consequences.
No matter how his parents punish him, he can accept it and bear all the consequences.
Wang Cuimei took Shen Changan to the study on the second floor, closed the door and let the father and son talk.
Shen Huadong was still reading seriously, and Shen Changan also picked up a book and sat in front of his father.
Just as he was about to sit down, Shen Huadong raised his head and looked at him with dignity.
"Did I ask you to sit down?"
"Dad, you didn't ask me not to sit down!"
Shen Changan knew his father's character. Don't go against him. When he has a stern face, he has to have a smile on his face.
"You dare to talk back? Get down and do 200 push-ups right now."
Shen Changan's face was a little bitter, he knew his father would do this.
Every punishment he received started with push-ups.
Usually the starting quantity is 100, but today it’s 200.
Shen Changan stood still, and Shen Huadong raised his head and glared at him.
"Hurry up and go!"
"yes!"
Shen Changan saluted his father, then took off his coat, lay down and started doing push-ups.
The first 50 were very easy for him. When he did 51, Shen Huadong stood up and took a 20-jin sandbag from the cabinet and threw it on his back naturally.
Shen Changan only felt a sinking sensation on his back, and then he sped up again.
Shen Changan did 100 push-ups in one breath, and with the 20-jin weight, his movements began to slow down.
It was at this time that Shen Huadong once again picked up a 20-jin sandbag and threw it on his back.
Shen Changan, who was doing push-ups quickly, only felt his back sink. He didn't say anything and gritted his teeth to continue.
By the time he had done 150, his arms were already feeling a bit sore, and his movements were slower than before.
It was at this time that Shen Huadong unceremoniously put two sandbags on his back again.
In this way, Shen Changan was carrying a total of 80 kilograms, and he was already feeling tremendous pressure.
The remaining 50 push-ups became a huge burden for him.
Shen Changan slowed down his pace and continued with determination and persistence.
By the time he had done 190, his arms were shaking.
Shen Huadong was about to throw two more sandbags over, but Shen Changan, who had just been feeling weak, suddenly seemed to be energized and did nine push-ups in a row.
When he finished the last one, Chen Huadong also threw the sandbag up steadily.
Shen Changan was lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
It had been a long time since I had done such high-intensity training, and Shen Changan was so tired that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Dad, I do push-ups because I want to exercise, not because I think I'm doing something wrong."
"I'm a teacher. My students asked me for help. I felt sorry for them and helped them solve their problems. In my opinion, this is a perfectly normal thing."
"Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I came back before the New Year and I am not being unfilial to my parents."
Shen Changan put away his smiling face, and every word he said was very serious.
This is what he thought in his heart. Of course, there was some selfishness hidden in it, but it was absolutely impossible for him to tell his father the real reason now.
Shen Changan's words made Shen Huadong fall into a brief silence. His son's words were not unreasonable, but disobeying his parents' wishes and forcing himself to go out even though his parents did not agree was considered an unfilial act by Shen Huadong, who was very filial to his mother.
"You did nothing wrong on the surface, but I'm angry about your attitude. Your mother is old and wants her son to be by her side."
"You've been away from home all year long pursuing your dreams. We've never said anything to you. We simply asked you to stay home during the Lunar New Year, which isn't too much to ask."
Shen Huadong considered the problem from the perspective of a son. He is a father as well as a son, and he hopes that his son can understand his painstaking efforts.
"Dad, I understand what you're thinking. You're right. I ignored your feelings. If he gives me another chance to choose, I will still do the same."
Shen Huadong stared at his stubborn son for a long time. His son's appearance at this moment was no different from his previous self.
"Go out, I want to be alone for a while."
Shen Huadong waved his hand. His son has grown up and will always have his own ideas. As a father, he can only guide him slowly instead of forcing his son.
His mother was already on his side, what else could he, as a son, say?
"Dad, please don't be angry about me. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. No matter where I am, you are my parents."
"Although I'm not with you now, I will come back one day. When I come back next time, I will never leave again."
Shen Changan made up his mind that as long as Jiang Li was willing to settle down with him in the provincial capital with the children, he would never wander outside again.
"I hope we won't have to wait too long for this day. Also, your mother said that you should get married and have children at your age. You should listen to her."
"Dad, I will."
Shen Changan shook off the sandbag on his shoulder, and he dragged his tired body and took the initiative to put the sandbag back into the cabinet.
When he left, his legs were trembling, but his back was straight.
Shen Huadong stared at his son's back for a long time. What a stubborn boy he was, just like when he was young.
As long as his son doesn't make mistakes of principle, Shen Huadong is actually reluctant to punish him excessively.
It would be enough to practice occasionally to make him remember it, but Shen Huadong felt that it was time to put his wife's request for him to go on a blind date after the New Year on the agenda.
My son will be 26 after the New Year, and we can’t delay it any longer.
Maybe only when he gets married can he settle down completely, just like he did in the past.
Shen Changan returned to his room with shaking legs. He lay straight on the bed. He had thought that he would be greeted by a storm after returning, but he did not expect to get through it so easily.
His parents used to be very strict with him, but they have become much gentler in recent years.
Maybe it's just as grandma said, his parents have become more restrained in their age and are not as strict with him as before.
Shen Changan lay in bed, thinking a lot in his mind. He saw hope from what happened today.
Maybe I could try to tell them about Jiang Li's situation so that they could have an impression of him, and then it would be much easier to bring them back.
