After living together with the actor

Two days before Shen Li's grandpa's memorial day, Shen Li's father, Shen Congli, flew back from the United States with his family.

Shen Congli is 50 years old this year and is a well-known scholar at home and abroad. Unlike Shen Li’s grandfather Shen Zongyi, Shen Congli studies science and researches high-tech materials. His research results are at the most advanced level in the world.

Shen Congli's second wife, Shen Nan's so-called biological mother, was a student that Shen Congli once brought up. She is of Chinese origin, with a dark complexion and a plump body. Fortunately, her facial features are fairly correct. She is now 35 years old, and she is 15 years away from Shen Congli. age.Their youngest daughter, Shen Nan, who is a little over one year old now, followed her mother's skin color, and her facial features also resembled her mother's. She was ordinary, and she really didn't look like Shen Congli's child.

A century-old scholarly family has been screened by generations of genes. There is no ordinary person. Shen Zongyi was also handsome when he was young. Although Shen Congli is not tall, he is also handsome and elegant. Shen Li's appearance is even more outstanding.

Maybe it's because the children haven't grown up at this age, Shen Nan really doesn't look like the Shen family.

Shen Li didn't know this family well, so when he knew people were coming, he packed up the guest room and went out, and went to Uncle Zhang to help find an aunt to cook for two days, and the wages were three hundred a day.Although Shen Li likes to cook, not everyone can make him willing to do it himself.

It is said that the stepmother is a spoiled young lady from a Chinese businessman's family. She doesn't touch Chunyang water with her ten fingers. She never cooks at home and relies on servants to take care of the housework. Shen Li doesn't expect her to be able to cook when she comes here. Whether she can do it or not Meals are fine, but it is impossible for him to cook for their family.

What is this, their family is so honest that he sits at the dinner table and works at the bottom alone?hehe.

So Shen Li simply hired a helper, anyway, they couldn't stay at home for a few days, so everyone was happy when they left.

The reason why Shen Li asked Uncle Zhang to help find someone instead of looking for a familiar grandmother and aunt, one is that hiring people does not need to talk about favors, one hand pays the money and the other hand works, and it is easy to clean up. Second, it is also a disguise for some difficult people in the village. The subsidy, three meals a day, 300 yuan is not low.Although it is not much, but more than 1000 can still be earned.

Uncle Zhang looked really kind on the surface, but he was also a seasoned and sophisticated human being. He knew these thoughts well, so he found Aunt Li's family in the west of the village for Shen Li, who had a very difficult life.

Shen Congli came back this time mainly for two things, one is for Shen Zong to sacrifice the day, and the other is to let Shen Nan enter the genealogy.

Shen Li didn't mind letting them mess around.

It's just that he forgot one thing, Shen Nan, a kid who was learning to walk, crashed in the baby walker. The baby walker was sturdy, wrapped in plastic like a bumper car, and Shen Nan giggled when he bumped into it.

Shen Nan's mother, Ms. Jiang Mengjie, followed behind with an exclamation, her mouth was full of bad English and Chinese, Shen Li didn't care at all, although it was a bit noisy, but it was not unbearable, so he hid in the upstairs study Reading a book, until he heard a few shattering sounds of porcelain falling to the ground, Shen Li couldn't sit still.

Shen Nan was so frightened by the sound that she burst into tears. Ms. Jiang Mengjie hugged her daughter distressedly and looked up and down to see if she was scratched by the porcelain.

Seeing the scum all over the ground, Shen Li felt that his breathing was stagnant, and his heart was about to break.His face was not very good-looking, and he hurried forward to check the broken porcelain. There were two broken porcelains on the ground. The one that was broken into slag was a fake from the period of the Republic of China, and the other one with only a piece of lacquer the size of a fingernail was missing was a Kangxi official. The beauty goblet of the kiln.

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt distressed. The most precious thing about these things is not how much they are worth, but because they are all works of art that inherit history. If this thing is really smashed, one less.

Shen Li picked up the fingernail-sized lacquer that fell off, picked up the beauty goblet, and put it in his study for safe storage.

This reminded Shen Li of one thing, he can't put these things outside anymore, Shen Nan can't help it.

Shen Li thought of this, and regardless of Ms. Jiang Mengjie's face, ran upstairs and downstairs more than a dozen times, and put away all the decorations on the table, whether they were real or fake, modern or ancient, originally placed The crowded living room soon seemed empty and cold.

Jiang Mengjie felt that Shen Li didn't like her, so she gave her power and flirted with her. She felt wronged, so she complained to Shen Congli at night.

"Shen Li, I saw Nan Nan playing with a walker downstairs this morning. He accidentally broke a vase, so he put everything away. I thought he was worried about Nan Nan, but he turned around. He looked at Nan Nan with a bad look over his head. Does he not like me?"

Shen Congli frowned upon hearing this: "Nan Nan smashed the vase?"

Seeing her husband like this, Jiang Mengjie felt even more aggrieved: "Isn't it just a vase? You don't even worry about whether Nan Nan gets hurt."

Shen Congli said: "Looking at you like this, Nan Nan must not have been hurt. You are too careless, how can you let Nan Nan break the vase."

Jiang Mengjie was upset: "It's just a broken vase!"

Shen Congli complained and glanced at him, "A vase can buy your father's property."

Jiang Mengjie opened her mouth wide in surprise, "God, is it so expensive?"

Shen Congli didn't speak.

Jiang Mengjie said: "That can't be an antique, right? How could Shen Li just put the antique in the living room!"

She was complaining, but she was wondering in her heart, could it be that the things in the room just now were all antiques?Otherwise, why does he care so much?But is this too much?Jiang Mengjie was thinking about it, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Jiang Mengjie's father said that he was a Chinese businessman, but he actually opened a laundry shop and started a small business. He always knew that Shen Congli was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich, so he tentatively asked: "You collected these? "

Shen Congli glanced at her and said, "No, it was passed down from the ancestors."

Hearing this, Jiang Mengjie thought to herself that the ancestors of the Shen family seemed to be a big family, "Then let Shen Li take care of him like this, he is just a child so don't..."

Displeasure arose in Shen Congli's heart, and he didn't even look at him: "These are all left to Shen Li by my father. He is almost thirty and he is not a child anymore."

Jiang Mengjie opened her eyes wide in disbelief when she heard the words, and her voice was a little sharp unconsciously, "Give it to Shen Li!"

Her reaction and what she was thinking in her heart were clearly revealed. Shen Congli snorted coldly and got up from the bed, "Shen Li grew up beside my father, took care of him, and died of old age. There is nothing to say about father leaving everything to him. You'd better Don't think anything wrong."

Shen Congli's words didn't save Jiang Mengjie any face, her eyes were red with grievance, she married him 15 years younger than him and gave birth to a daughter for him, yet he treated her like this, without any possessions As if planning to leave it for herself and Nan Nan, she was angry and wronged: "Isn't Nan Nan your daughter? Isn't Nan Nan a child of the Shen family? Why can't I get anything."

Shen Congli was pissed off. His wife was 15 years younger than her. She was always arrogant and clingy, but she had never advanced and retreated, and she was very well-measured. The two of them had the same career direction and had common topics. Young married her again.The two have been married for five years, and now they have a daughter. He naturally loves it in his heart. Although the child is not as cute as Shen Li's when she was a child, it is his own flesh and blood, and he is an old man. How can he not? like.So he indulged this wife even more. When the child was just born, he gave an American real estate under his daughter's name. He remembered her reaction at that time, and his eyes were red with emotion, saying that her daughter is so young, so don't be so used to it. She, when she grows up, let her earn it by herself, if she can't earn it, she can only blame her for being worthless.I didn't want to be moved when I saw such a few things when I first arrived in my hometown. He started to calculate the inheritance before he died.

Shen Congli's heart was cold, and he looked down on her pettiness and greed even more. He put on his clothes, strode out, and slammed the door behind him.

Jiang Mengjie was sneered at and slammed at her face and door. She was so wronged. Thinking of her husband being patient and lenient to her in the United States, she seemed to be a different person when she arrived here. Feeling resentful, I feel more and more displeased with him.

Shen Congli came out of the room with a burst of fire, and saw Shen Li squatting in the yard talking to a dog, with friendly gestures, a soft smile, and curved eyebrows, very much like his mother Yu Qiuyi.

He and Yu Qiuyi were college classmates. At that time, Yu Qiuyi was a talented girl and a school flower in the Faculty of Arts. Beautiful, talented and good-looking girls always had many suitors. He was one of them, but he was also the last one. winner.They were also affectionate and close in the few years they were together, but later...

Now he and Yu Qiuyi are considered to be successful in their careers, but their son is huddled in such a remote place, mediocre and accomplishing nothing.He didn't believe that he and Yu Qiuyi's genes could give birth to a mediocre son. He also remembered how his father proudly praised others and how smart his son was when Shen Li was young.

And now what is he like...

The more Shen Congli thought about it, the more angry he became, he stepped forward and said to Shen Li, "Follow me to the ancestral hall."

Shen Li was stunned when he heard the words, then stood up and nodded, patted Egg Tart on the head, let Egg Tart go back to the room by himself, and he followed Shen Congli to the ancestral hall. He didn't know what Shen Congli wanted from him. There is no need to discuss Shen Nan's genealogy with him, so what exactly is it?

Shen Li followed into the ancestral hall, Shen Congwen stood in front of the tablet, without turning around, pointed to the cushion on the ground, and said, "Kneel down."

Shen Li didn't know why, so he knelt down obediently in front of his ancestors, he wanted to see what he was going to say.

Shen Congli said: "You are 27 this year, right?"

Shen Li nodded, then remembered that Shen Congli might not be looking at him, so he hummed.

"A man stands at thirty, and you are nearly thirty to start a family and start a career, and achieve nothing!" Shen Congli's voice became more and more serious, and the last four words were even more verbatim.

"Yes, your mother and I have neglected to discipline you for so many years. Now that you are too old, it is too late for us to control you. We dare not control you, dare not speak of you. We think that someone like your grandfather who has taught books all his life is a teacher. The children who come out must be better than those raised by irresponsible parents like us two, but you are going to be thirty, look at you now, do you know what you are doing?"

"Your mother and I have not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. You can hate us, you can blame us, it doesn't matter, but you are already an adult, and childish thoughts should be gone. You should be able to control your life. , being responsible for your own choices, we think you will live a good life, have your own career, your own ideals, your own friends, your own lover, and your own family. But look at yourself, what do you have now? "

"No job, no ideal, just like, like a mediocre worm, living in a daze every day, farming fields and flowers, killing the day, are you the life that young people in their 30s and [-]s should have? Do you have a passion? Do you have a passion for life? Are you trying to prove something by copying your grandpa's retired lifestyle?"

"When you were young, you easily gave up B University and went to the Academy of Fine Arts to study design. After many years, you easily gave up designing and went back to farming. Shen Li! Do you know what you are doing!"

"Mediocre, boring, without passion, and muddled. With your appearance, why would someone like you? If you have someone you like, why should you stand by that person's side?"

After Shen Congli made a crackling call, Shen Li was not angry, ashamed, and even said that he didn't feel the change in mood. He was just a little surprised. Is his life so miserable in the eyes of others?

Because since my grandfather passed away, I don't have any blood elders around me, and no one has ever talked to me about such topics.The elders in the village treat me very well, but they have no blood relationship after all. They are very careful in their interactions with me. One is to take care of their own mood, and the other is to think that they have some hidden secrets.He would not talk to these elders if he had some intimate words, and Ayang, the only one who could say intimate words, had a willful temper. He didn't like people interfering with himself, and he didn't like interfering with others. In addition, Ayang didn't think about Shen Li's life in his bones. The way is wrong.

It was only then that Shen Li realized that ever since his grandfather passed away, there were no elders around him, and no one would ever say something like 'be kind to him against his will'.

Time has passed for a long time, so long that Shen Li can no longer remember what kind of original intention he had in choosing such a life.He thought back carefully, but found that it needed to go back to a long time ago, when he was just 17 years old, when he and Gu Yi parted ways.

Shen Congli saw that Shen Li was kneeling blankly, without any change in expression on his face, and thought that his bad tone had aroused his sadness.

Shen Congli sighed. At this moment, he really felt that he was not Professor Shen, who was unparalleled in academics, but just a failed father.

He owed this child a lot, so much that he could not make up for it.When he was young, he was proud and arrogant, had ideals and goals, and the words child and father were unfamiliar and vague to him, and he never gave his child any more points in his mind.But when he was successful in his career, all the friends around him were worried about their children, and there was nothing around him. Only then did he realize what he had failed and avoided. It was his responsibility as a father.

At that time, the child had grown up and the damage had already been done. He no longer had the face to go in front of the child and point fingers as his father.But seeing that Shen Li has been trapped in his hometown for these years, and he has not yet woken up in his thirties, and there is a tendency to waste here. He is worried and guilty, and wants to remind him, but he is afraid that the father and son who are already unfamiliar will be further alienated.Today, I spoke out all the words with a burst of anger and courage, but my heart turned out to be nervous and afraid, afraid that he would resent and be sad.He couldn't help but soften his tone, "You are here to ask your ancestors, ask yourself. Think about it." After finishing speaking, he quietly left the ancestral hall.

The door was closed gently, and Shen Congli stood behind it. For the first time, he had such a real feeling that he was really old.High-spirited, young and frivolous, I don't know how long it has been since I left him.

Shen Li still knelt on the cushion, trying to trace back to the original reason.Before he could figure out why, the phone rang.

It's Gu Yi.

Unlike usual, Shen Li thought for a few seconds at this moment before slowly agreeing.

Only when Gu Yi's face appeared on the screen did Shen Li realize that Gu Yi had made a video call.

"Lizi, where are you, why are you so dark?"

The lights in the ancestral hall were not turned on, only a few candles were lit. Behind Shen Li was an antique building with a different architectural style from the entire villa.A few candles were lit, and they couldn't illuminate much, but the place where Shen Li was, could be seen in all directions.Shen Li was wondering whether to tell Gu Yi the truth, so Gu Yi guessed, "Is this your ancestral hall?"

Shen Li nodded, but remained silent.

"What happened, you are in a bad mood."

Shen Li twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's nothing, I just came in to think about something."

"What do you need to think about in the ancestral hall? A major family matter?" Gu Yi asked.

"Don't think about it without you."

Gu Yi's voice sank, "What's the matter?"

Shen Li was a little frustrated: "It just occurred to me that I'm almost thirty. I don't seem to have done anything to start a family. I don't even have a serious job. Is it a failure?"

Gu Yi smiled, his voice was hoarse and sexy: "Oh, that's easy. Let's go get a certificate tomorrow and finish the house first."

Shen Li frowned, and said dissatisfied: "I'm serious."

Gu Yi looked serious, "I'm not kidding, I've been thinking about how to take you to get married since the day I fell in love with you, so many years now, I have practiced no less than a thousand methods in my mind."

Shen Li blushed suddenly, but the blood faded quickly: "How can we get married in such a situation?"

Gu Yidao: "It's all right, go abroad to get a certificate, or I can write it into your family tree, whatever."

Shen Li made Gu Yi say that his heart almost didn't jump out, and he quickly covered his mouth: "You know that I am kneeling in the ancestral hall and dare to say that, are you afraid that my ancestors will come to chat with you at night?"

Gu Yi said indifferently: "This is better, and I have met the parents in advance."

Shen Li was laughed angrily by Gu Yi. Fortunately, he remembered that he was in the ancestral hall. Out of the worship of ancestors he had cultivated since he was a child, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "I'll stay here for a while, I won't tell you anymore."

Gu Yidao: "You haven't given me an answer to what I told you."

Shen Li pretended to be stupid: "What did you say to me?"

Gu Yi stared angrily, "It's about getting married!"

Shen Li said: "What, I'm sorry, the signal here is not good, it may be that my grandpa went to talk to you, you should be more polite to grandpa, you know, I won't say goodbye."

Gu Yi muttered in a low voice: "The first marriage proposal failed..."

Shen Li didn't dare to listen, so he hung up the phone quickly, panting heavily while covering his thumping heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you play cards according to common sense at all..." Such a proposal is too unromantic!

With reddened ears, Shen Li quietly glanced at the memorial tablet, feeling ashamed of having an affair in front of many elders.
