Heart-to-heart talk

Sunday, September 18th.

Today has been a week since the military training. Lu You's high school life is also on the right track.

At the class meeting on Monday afternoon after he came back, he successfully got rid of his status as temporary squad leader, did not run for any class cadre, and became a free agent.

Before the cleaning on Thursday afternoon, the head teacher, Teacher Zeng, rearranged their seats.

Lu You sat in the middle of the fourth row, the center of the class. The teacher thinks that placing a quiet handsome guy here can improve the overall temperament of the class. As for the reason, no one knows.

Yuan Wenliang, the health-preserving Buddhist brother, took Meng Yi's place and became Lu You's new deskmate. He is also a person who keeps to himself and doesn't talk much.

Lu You is immersed in test papers and papers on weekdays, while Yuan Wenliang likes to read some history books. The two of them sit together and hardly talk. The calm and peaceful study atmosphere they exude makes others feel like they are sorry for not studying. them.

In the second class, the defiant man was as expected, so the class monitor had no choice but to be replaced by another normal boy. Seats in the class have also been rearranged.

Li Yu's deskmate remained the same, and Tang Wan and Xu Nian did not separate, but they became the front and back desks and sat on the window sill. Li Yu happened to be sitting behind Xu Nian.

During this week, Tang Wan and Lu You hardly met each other. When Lu You went to see Li Yu for lunch and dinner, Tang Wan had already gone to the canteen. In the dining hall, there were so many people that we couldn't see each other.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the non-rocket class had a half-day break.

Today is a special day. It is the Good Friday of Lu You, the mother of this world. Generally speaking, it is the birthday of the original person.

Shen Yuyin, Lu You's mother, was wearing home clothes with her hair scattered on her shoulders. He was sitting at the dining table, holding his cheek with one hand, watching his son busy in the kitchen.

Mr. Lu was coaxing his daughter to sleep on the second floor, while Xiaobao was lying on the sofa in the living room, squinting his eyes and lazily basking in the sun.

"Son, why do you make your own birthday cakes? Can't you just order them from outside?" Shen Yuyin didn't understand his son's behavior.

"I know how to make it, and when I'm interested, I just make it myself." Lu You said as he took out two bunches of grapes from the refrigerator.

Then put them into two glass bowls, pick each grape, put it in water, add a spoonful of flour, and then wash the grapes one by one.

"What are you doing today? Fruit cake?"

"Almost, let's make mousse. I like the smooth texture of mousse. But this time it's a little more complicated and I'll add some fruit jelly."

Lu You said that he took a basin of washed grapes, peeled them one by one, cut them in half, removed the cores, and then placed them in another stainless steel bowl.

Shen Yuyin wanted to help her son, so she asked, "Son, do you need help from your mother?"

"No need." Lu You still lowered his head and did his own thing, "Just watch two episodes of the TV series and I'll almost have it done."

"Okay." Then Shen Yuyin took out his tablet and started watching the show.

Lu You quickly peeled and pitted a pot of grapes and put them aside. Then he took another pot of unprocessed grapes and cut them all in half. Put it into the pot again, add water until the grapes are covered, add a large piece of rock sugar, and finally light the fire.

The water in the pot gradually turned red and began to boil. At this time, Lu You skimmed off the foam and squeezed in a little lemon juice. When the red liquid started to become thicker, he used a wooden shovel to crush all the grapes. Finally, he turned off the heat and took them out, then filtered out the residue and made the grape juice.

Next is the original mousse part. Lu You took out gelatine sheets, yogurt, milk, and whipping cream from the refrigerator. Soften the gelatine first, then take hot water, melt the gelatine in a water bath and mix it with the milk, then add it to the yogurt and stir evenly.

Put an appropriate amount of sugar into the whipping cream, take out the electric egg beater, and beat it until the yogurt is thick. Then add the yogurt paste just now and stir evenly. The original mousse solution is also completed.

The main work has been completed, now comes the assembly process.

…

After working for more than an hour, Lu You put ten cups of cakes in the refrigerator, and the task came to an end.

After cleaning the kitchen, Lu You walked out of the kitchen.

When Shen Yuyin heard the noise, he raised his head and saw that his son had walked to the living room and was sitting drinking water.

"Done so soon?"

Lu You moved Xiaobao from the sofa to his lap, stroked the hair on its back, and said, "I'm sorry, it's been more than an hour."

"Is there anything you want for your birthday?"

"No, I can buy whatever I want."

Shen Yuyin was stunned, "It seems so."

Lu You suddenly thought of the throbbing feeling in his heart during the military training, so he said, "How about you tell me about the time when you and my dad met and got married?"

Shen Yuyin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Huh? Why do you think of asking this?"

After hesitating for a while, Lu You decided to tell the truth: "I had a crush on a girl some time ago, and I want to learn from others who have experienced her."

Shen Yuyin's mood was so high that he didn't even pick up his tablet. He walked to the sofa next to Lu You and sat down cross-legged.

"Isn't that right? You've only been in high school for half a month and you're already having sex? What's the girl's name? What does she look like? What's her personality like?"

Lu You was overwhelmed by the series of questions, "You tell me about you and dad first, and I'll tell you about mine later."

"There is nothing to talk about between the two of us. We just arranged a blind date at home, and after two or three years of getting along, we got married."

"No twists and turns at all?" Lu You thought this was too bland. "There's nothing like resisting family arrangements or running away from home?"

"What are you thinking about? If there are these people, can you still sit here?" Shen Yuyin picked up a pillow and threw it at it.

Lu You caught it easily, "Please be more detailed. That's all. It's hard for me not to suspect that you are perfunctory with me."

Shen Yuyin leaned on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and fell into memories.

"It's basically that simple. When I was eighteen years old, your grandma said that she wanted me to meet someone. If I didn't reject it, I could try to develop a relationship. I didn't have anyone I liked at the time, so I thought it would be better to meet someone. It doesn't matter, I just agreed."

"When we first met, I was attracted by your father's appearance. You have also seen his young appearance, right?"

Lu You nodded, "He is indeed handsome, compared with what I have now."

"Come on." Shen Yuyin mocked back, "You are as tall as you, and you are still competing with my husband. He was over 1.8 meters tall at the time. How can you compare?"

It breaks my heart, old man.

"After we developed a crush, we occasionally went out on a few dates, and soon fell in love. Then when I was twenty, I had you and we got married."

"Is this considered a marriage ceremony?"

"It kind of means that. Your father said that he originally planned to propose, but your arrival brought the time forward. With or without you, he would propose that year, just a few months apart."

Lu You didn't get the chance, and was a little disappointed, "I thought there would be some story about a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy, then fighting against each other, and having no choice but to marry into a rich family, but this is the result?"

"Okay!" Shen Yuyin was not in a beautiful mood anymore, "Let's not mention that there is no such person in my social circle. Do you think ordinary people can compare to your father without any emotional foundation? How do your grandfather and great-grandfather teach their children? Yes, it's not like you don't know."

Lu You recalled the days in his hometown since he was a child. It was a time of comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness. The older generation of the Lu family do not use corporal punishment. They follow precepts and deeds. At the age when the younger generation is best at imitating, if you are strict with yourself, the younger generation will naturally be affected.

"Don't you think this kind of relationship is too plain?"

"Isn't it bad to be ordinary?" Shen Yuyin asked, "Unforgettable love represents the process of heartache. To me, being ordinary, moistening and silently accompanying and caring is the most beautiful thing."

"Okay, I'm done talking, it's your turn. Tell me your name, appearance, and personality quickly."

Lu You knew she couldn't escape, so she could only take a deep breath and speak slowly: "Her name is Tang Wan. It's hard for me to describe her appearance in words. Her personality is not clear yet, and I'm still in the process of understanding her."

"Didn't you just say a name? Nothing else." Shen Yuyin looked unhappy, "What else is called appearance that is difficult to describe in words?"

"It means that all the beautiful words I think about can be applied to her."

"Hahaha..." Shen Yuyin couldn't stop laughing, "Have you liked me this much?"

The corners of Lu You's mouth twitched and he defended, "I'm just stating my personal feelings."

Shen Yuyin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, suppressed his smile, and asked again: "How far have you progressed?"

"How can there be any progress? I have a crush on her since she was in a different class, but I haven't reached the point where I like her yet."

"That's it. Just let it take its course. Let's wait until your good impression turns into liking, and then we can talk about the other things." In Shen Yuyin's view, good feelings are too weak and will fade away easily.

Lu You changed the question and asked her: "When did you change from having a good impression of my dad to liking me?"

"I'm not sure." Shen Yuyin was reminded of his memories, "After hanging out with your dad a few times, this person slowly appeared in my mind, and I started thinking about it day and night, imagining the scene of going out with him. , and the days ahead."

Then he turned to look at Lu You, "If you laugh unconsciously whenever you think about that person, and think about her every day, it means you like that person."

Lu You stroked Xiao Bao, and after thinking for a while, asked: "Mom, what do you think of my puppy love?"

"It depends on your attitude towards this relationship. If you just want to have fun on a whim, I will directly drop you out of school and send you back to your grandfather. My son can have bad grades, but he must not be a bad person." Shen Yuyin's eyes were sharp and his expression was extremely serious, which made Lu You's back feel cold.

"Of course, if you are serious and want to go to the end with her and be prepared to participate in the rest of her life, then I will support you."

Lu You was surprised, he didn't expect her to say the word support.

"It's strange that I would say support?" Shen Yuyin said with a smile.

Lu You nodded to confirm.

"Parents are opposed to early love because high school students have to face the college entrance examination. In addition, the vast majority of high school students have not faced the pressure of life directly and do not have a clear understanding of things like family responsibilities. At this time, dating will basically not have good results. ."

"But our family is different. The college entrance examination is just the icing on the cake for you. No matter whether your grades are good or bad, the Lu family and your grandpa's family can guarantee that you will have a worry-free future. The premise is that you can't be a bad person. So, you are the best The important thing is to learn how to be a person. Be responsible, responsible, and know how to love someone. If you can do these, I will naturally support you."

Lu You lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Shen Yuyin looked at his son's thinking and knew that he must have more than just a crush on that girl named Tang Wan, but he couldn't see clearly.

In junior high school, I didn't let him have too much contact with people in that school. Although it protected him from being led astray, it also made him too unfamiliar with interpersonal relationships among his peers. So far, he only has one good friend, Li Yu.

Shen Yuyin stood up and walked to Lu You's side, touching his hair, "If you like it, try to take a step forward. If both of you don't move, you will just miss it."

"Won't it offend her?"

Shen Yuyin smiled very gently, glad that his son was not a bad person, and said gently: "Don't think that reasonable requests are offensive. Self-righteous thoughts, and you put them in the name of thinking about others, that is the biggest offense."

"What if you are rejected?" Lu You's confidence in mathematics seemed to have disappeared.

"Who can know the result without even trying?" After saying that, Shen Yuyin slapped him on the back, "Cheer up. Your own appearance and temperament are your most effective weapons. Young man, move forward bravely. !"

Although he knew his mother was trying to cheer him up, Lu You still felt a little ashamed of her words.

"Okay, you should go upstairs and see Xiao Shu."

"Young man in Huaichun, let yourself blossom to your heart's content and enjoy your youth." After Shen Yuyin finished speaking, he disappeared up the stairs with a cheerful pace.

Lu You took a few deep breaths to relieve the shame in his heart. After regaining his composure, he played with the cat and thought about what he should do in the future.
