I nodded in a daze. My father smiled and said, "That's right. This low-grade fever is nothing. Just go out for a walk and it will be fine." Then, regardless of my mother's dissuasion, he dragged me out of the hospital. I felt weak all over, and I broke out in a sweat after only two steps. My father dragged me to run a few steps, and finally took me to a mutton soup restaurant. As soon as we entered, he shouted to the boss, "Give me a big bowl of mutton soup, and put a lot of pepper in it!" After a while, the boss brought a bowl of mutton soup and put it on the table.
My father patted my shoulder and said, "Drink it, drink it all in one breath!" I really didn't eat well these days, and I was really hungry. I picked up the mutton soup and drank it greedily, eating up all the mutton offal in it. After drinking it, I sweated a lot and felt indescribably comfortable. My father asked me, "Do you want to drink more?" I said, "Yes." My father turned around and said, "Another bowl!"
I drank three bowls in a row, and my stomach was so full that I couldn't drink any more. My mother complained, "Drinking too much mutton soup will make you get angry. Don't let Haohao drink it all the time." My father waved his hand and said, "What do women know? Look at your son, is he better now?" My mother looked at me carefully and said, "He is indeed more energetic than before." I felt a little dizzy and my legs were a little weak, but it was indeed much better than before in the hospital. My father waved his hand and said, "Let's go home and cook two more side dishes!"
No matter how poor or difficult the family was, my father was always calm and optimistic. As soon as he came home, the family became much more stable, and even my low-grade fever was cured without treatment. When I got home, my mother cooked a few dishes, and my father brought the wine again. My mother was anxious: "My son just recovered from his illness, why don't you let him drink?" My father asked me: "Son, do you want to drink?" I said: "I will drink." My father said: "The minority obeys the majority. Come on, let's drink." My mother had no choice. After three glasses of wine, my father asked me: "Were you fired again?"
I lowered my head and said with shame, "Yeah." Just as I was about to listen to my father's reprimand, he laughed out loud, "Haha, the second time?" My mother said unhappily, "Your son was expelled, why are you so happy?" I looked at my father in surprise. He couldn't be laughing at me. My father said, "I'm making fun of Chenggao and Beiqili. They gave up such a good student like our son. When our son is admitted to Tsinghua University, they won't even have a place to cry!"
My mother said helplessly, "You are too good at comforting yourself." My father laughed and said, "What else can I do if I don't comfort you? I was expelled, it's no big deal. There are so many schools in the world, it doesn't matter which one you go to, you can still build a new socialist country after you graduate." After he said this, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. I knew he was trying to comfort me and told me not to be too sad, but I still felt sad. My father said a lot, and then asked me, "By the way, why were you expelled?"
I evaded the point and said, "I just had a fight with someone." I didn't dare to say that I had brought people to smash the school, let alone say that a friend was gone. My father didn't ask much, but nodded and said, "It's okay to fight. It's just youthful vigor. It's okay. Then let me ask you, which school do you want to go to? I'll go to school for you in the next few days." He still thought that I had good grades and it would be easy for me to go to any school. But I knew that even if the TV stations and newspapers didn't report the incident of Beiqi being smashed, it would definitely spread among the people. It would be strange if other schools would accept me. I shook my head and said, "I don't want to go to school anymore."
His father was surprised and said, "You don't want to study anymore? What are you going to do if you don't study? Now you have no way out without a diploma!"
The mother was also anxious: "That's right, your father and I worked so hard to support your education, you can't just say you don't want to study. It doesn't matter if you are expelled from school, we can just find another school, you can't stop studying."
I lowered my head and said solemnly, "I just don't miss you anymore." The person playing the piano said: "It's a nice day today, let's go out for a walk."
