She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 23 23 Lao Xu's Proposal

"How did you two learn today?"

"It went quite smoothly. Dad, do you think I have dark circles under my eyes?" Xu Suiyou put down his bag, walked to his father, and pointed at his eyes.

Lao Xu squinted his eyes and observed for a while, frowning: "Why, haven't you had a good rest recently?"

Now is the most critical period for his daughter. Like the Chen family next door, he will not put too much pressure on the child, but this does not mean that he does not care about his daughter's condition at all.

"Relax if you feel tired. If you are exhausted, it will be useless no matter how good your grades are. Do you hear me? Don't study tonight. Watch some TV or play some games to relax."

Xu Suiyou felt guilty and went behind her father, massaging his shoulders with her little hands.

She drew the dark circles on herself. After all, the things that were going to be mentioned next needed the dark circles as an aid.

"It's mainly because I got up too early today."

"What time did you get up?"

"It's the usual time. It has become my biological clock. I open my eyes at 5 o'clock."

Xu Suiyou muttered, walked back to the sofa, and fell on it without caring about his image.

Old Xu glanced at his beloved daughter who was sitting awkwardly, frowned and thought.

Indeed, when Xu Suiyou was in the first and second year of high school and there was not so much pressure to go to college, he was able to adjust his work and rest schedule.

But now that she is in the third year of high school, Lian Xiaoshen has focused on studying hard, and his daughter has even extended her daily study time this week.

The time he got up in the morning had not changed, but he went to bed later at night. It wouldn't be noticeable in one or two days, but if it continued like this, he would be heartbroken.

As the parent of a candidate, all he has to do is ensure his child's sleep and nutrition.

dereliction of duty!

What a dereliction of duty!

Xu Suiyou noticed the change in her father's expression. After confirming that she had basically achieved her goal, she hurriedly stood up and ran to her room: "I'm going to take a shower first! Should we go to Uncle Chen's house for dinner later?"

"Yeah, we seem to be having mutton hotpot tonight. Why don't you eat first and then wash up."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

"Yeah." Lao Xu turned off the TV in front of him, crossed his arms and thought deeply. After a moment, he stood up, walked to the door of his daughter's room, and knocked gently. "Sui Sui, I'm going to your uncle Chen's house first. Come over later when it's time for dinner."

"understood."

"Go, open the door."

Chen Shen stood up speechlessly. It was obvious that his father was closer to the door, so why did he have to get up and open it?

But he didn't just open the door honestly.

He is different today than usual.

He was a good boy who had just come back from the library after studying hard all day!
The lively young man immediately displayed wonderful acting skills after standing up. At the same time, he did not forget to match the lines and began to talk to himself very "naturally".

"Why do I feel a little dizzy, Dad? Am I overusing my brain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the sofa, immediately glanced over.

Old Chen received the signal and stood up obediently. There was nothing he could do. Things were different now. As the person with the lowest status in the family, he could not resist.

While my father was opening the door, my mother's concern also came.

"If you feel dizzy, go lie down in your room for a while, or take a nap. I'll call you for dinner." Chen Shen frowned and nodded, then walked towards his room.

After quietly closing the bedroom door, he changed his previous "weakness", threw himself on the bed, and started happily browsing his phone.

It was impossible for him to sleep. There were only two days of rest time in a week, so how could he bear to use them to sleep?

Let’s watch the video first!

"What's wrong, Lao Xu?"

Old Chen opened the door and let Mr. Xu from next door in, looking curious.

"Sister-in-law, where is Xiao Shen?" Old Xu first greeted Wu Yun, then glanced at the living room, and when he didn't see Chen Shen, he asked casually.

"Maybe he was tired from studying today and felt a little dizzy, so he went to rest in the room. What's wrong? I called him out."

"No, no, no, no, Suisui looks tired too. Sister-in-law, do you think having two children is too much pressure?"

Wu Yun was already worried because Chen Shen said he was tired, and now when he heard Lao Xu say Sui Sui looked tired too, he couldn't help but become nervous.

"Is it like this every year?"

"Yeah, today I saw dark circles under the child's eyes. I don't think this is a solution."

Old Xu expressed his concerns. In fact, when Xu Suiyou was in junior high school, he had planned to move his family to the city, so that it would be much more convenient for Xu Suiyou to go to school. At least he wouldn't have to get up so early.

But this proposal was rejected by his daughter. The whole family must move together, but his factory is here, and there are many things that require him to be there in time.
No matter how close the city is, it still takes about half an hour to drive there, unlike here where you can get to the scene in five minutes.

Unable to withstand the strong opposition from his beloved daughter, he temporarily gave up the plan. At that time, he was deeply moved by his daughter's well-behaved and sensible behavior.

But now it seems that I should have moved to the city.

But it's not appropriate to move with great fanfare now.
"I plan to rent a house for Suisui near No. 1 Middle School. Let her live there from Sunday to Thursday, and go back home on Friday and Saturday." Lao Xu thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

"But you and your sister-in-law can't leave, right? If you can't leave here, your sister-in-law will have to go to work, so are you comfortable letting Sui Sui live there alone?"

Wu Yun pointed out the irrationality in it.

The factory in this town is completely dependent on Lao Xu, and the company where Suisui's mother Sun Yu works is even farther away.

Lao Xu himself also thought of this. He looked at Chen Shen's closed door, then moved his gaze to Wu Yun, and said sincerely: "So I want Xiao Shen to live with me."

"No." Wu Yun refused without thinking.

She had let go once when Chen Shen was in the third grade of elementary school, but what was the result?
How could Wu Yun, who still feels guilty about this matter, let it go again?

Although she is unable to help her son with his studies now, at least she will not watch her son fall into depravity this time.

That was all she could do.

Old Chen, who had never spoken, walked to the window and smoked his cigarette. As his wife was lying next to him, he knew that she was still feeling guilty about what happened that year, and he felt equally guilty.

Because the root cause is his incompetence.

When the cigarette in his hand burned out, he pressed the butt into the ashtray and turned to look at his wife.

"Xiaoyun, let go and give it a try."

Wu Yun stood up from the sofa with an expressionless face, put on his slippers, walked towards the kitchen, and began to prepare dinner for the two families.

As for Lao Xu, she also received advice from her husband.
She didn't want to answer.
