75. Pressure

The text message sounded, Luo Chao turned on the phone, and his father sent a thousand red envelopes, with only three words in the note: New Year's money

Luo Chao ordered to collect the money and replied with a thank you expression.

This red envelope without blessings is a bit cold.Luo Chao was a little depressed, but the money must be collected.

His mother was never happy to give him money. She always said that he spent it recklessly, that his father did not take money from home, and that it was too much effort to raise their brothers and sisters. .

Maybe it was because he had too little communication with his father, and he and his father had become more and more unfamiliar these years.And Dad almost never took the initiative to contact him.

In the past, he didn’t have a mobile phone when he was young, and he didn’t have a fixed line at home. All incoming calls had to go through his mother, but his mother and father were always arguing, and he rarely took the phone calmly and let him answer it.

When he grew up, he was no longer used to talking to his father.

In the occasional calls, Dad only routinely asked about his academic performance, and told him to be obedient, and then ended in a hurry.

Later, when he asked his father for tuition and miscellaneous fees, he felt awkward—as if he was asking a stranger with his palms up.

In particular, although my father would forward everything to him, he would neither write much nor write anything.

So he didn't go to cram school for three years in junior high school.

He thinks he has thick nerves, but he can also feel the coldness.

The funny thing is, seeing that he can succeed every time he asks for money, his mother also tried to make him ask his father for living expenses.

Luo Chao refused, and his mother didn't compromise no matter how much she scolded, but she would read it again and again when she gave him money for breakfast, buying materials, etc. later.

Finally, the matter of asking for money, although not enough to embarrass him, began to make him feel pressured.

The current balance on the phone is the New Year's money from the three years of junior high school, and the big item is the big red envelope given by his father when he was admitted to the second middle school this year.

Luo Chao didn't have a mobile phone until he was in junior high school, and the lucky red envelopes he received really belonged to him.Before that, my mother would confiscate his New Year's money, saying that she would save it for fear that he would spend it indiscriminately.

Of course he will never see him again, and he can't mention it yet, so he gets anxious when he mentions his mother.

Although his New Year's money has not been much - there are few relatives on his side.Except for grandma, the remaining cousins ​​and aunts are not close, and she is the only old lady in grandma's house.

I heard from my mother that he still has an uncle, but because of the tense relationship with his grandmother, he left home very early and went to another country, and even lost contact over the years.

In the age of mobile phones, a person who cannot get through with a number can disappear without a trace.

Yuan Cheng didn't charge him for the meal. Apart from the initial embarrassment, Luo Chao was more than happy for Yuan Cheng's closeness to him.Just like what Yuan Cheng said, if I open a shop to sell haggis, how can I afford to invite you to a bowl of soup?

Yuan Cheng usually likes to give him and Liang Feng some weird little red envelopes, and he will accept them without any burden.

Because Yuan Cheng said: Compared with you two students, brother is capitalized, so what if you are self-willed if you have money?If you don't accept it, just throw the red envelope back!

Normally, when Yuan Cheng was so provocative, they would hold the hole down and slap him.Of course, red envelopes are accepted.

This kind of getting along is very pleasant, and Luo Chao has never felt pressured.

He can see that Yuan Cheng and his parents have very different attitudes towards money, but he is a big and simple person, and he doesn't take it to heart--friends help me today, and tomorrow I will help friends when I have the ability. No excuses.

But yesterday, the expense that Yuan inherited to his sister made him feel uneasy.

Now thinking about all the things in the past, I suddenly realized that Yuan Cheng was very cautious.

Original inheritance, original inheritance.

It doesn't matter if you and I are just bros, like when we first met, but I'm sure I like you, a lot, a lot!

So I am now, eating soft rice?Still have a mop bottle?

Luo Chao was frightened into a sweat by his own analysis.
