fate encounter

The new house that Ruan Tian and Yao Tang bought is a large flat floor of more than 200 square meters. During the renovation, only a small dining room was kept, and the larger living room was converted into a studio and a kitchen, which were used as studios for Ruan Tian and Yao Tang respectively.

Ruan Tian's recent video shoots are all in the store's kitchen. Yao Tang's studio is still frequently used, but Yao Tang's largest works before are only two or three square feet.This time, the subject matter she chose to paint is very grand, so she will use a large painting of ten square feet.

The theme of her painting is tentatively set as "Ancient Legends". On the first day after returning home, she has already conceived three drafts, which are Hou Yi shooting the sun, Yu Gong moving the mountains, and Dayu controlling the water.

These themes are not new, but unexpectedly fit Yao Tang's current state of mind.At the same time, it can show off its skills perfectly. The Golden Crow is fire, a big bird with gorgeous feathers.The majesty and majesty of Taihang Mountain, the vigorous vitality of human beings.The last is water, the water that can drown people gently, it can roll up huge waves, or it can turn into a stream.

It is very simple to make a sketch, but it is not as easy as imagined to turn it into a proportionally enlarged painting, the lines of each stroke, the details of the filling, and the thickness of the paint.

In short, Yao Tang's work enthusiasm is so high that he doesn't distinguish between day and night, and doesn't think about food or tea.

After Ruan Tian found out that Yao Tang hadn't eaten lunch for several days, she finally lost her temper.

But Ruan Tian also didn't have time, so she had to monitor Yao Tang with a video on while cooking at the busiest time of business at noon, and watch him finish his meal with her own eyes, so that she could feel at ease.At night, Yao Tang was also urged to sleep, and he had to go to bed before twelve o'clock in the evening.

Faced with Ruan Tian's urgent instructions, Yao Tang was actually a little annoyed at first. She didn't want others to interrupt her work, because once she put down the work at hand and continued, she would feel a little out of touch, and she had to be slow. Slowly find the feeling, so I forget to eat.

But the concern in Ruan Tian's eyes forced Yao Tang to compromise.Yao Tang has not felt this kind of care that has nothing to do with interests, since her grandparents passed away one after another, and she returned to her parents' house for many years.

Yao Tang was able to withstand the pressure and scolding from the outside world, but he couldn't refuse the tender care full of love.Yao Tang ate the lunch that Ruan Tian asked her to run an errand to bring back to her, and felt a kind of sweet distress in her heart.

Alas, the feeling of being interrupted is not very good, but if the person who interrupted her is Ruan Tian, ​​she can only reluctantly accept it.

Yao Tang willingly accepted Ruan Tian's influence on her with her feelings.And another person is also planning to use emotion to exert influence on Ruan Tian.

This person is Ruan Jianghe who just came out of prison, that is, Ruan Tian's father who was imprisoned for gambling and then stealing.

When Ruan Jianghe was inside, he did well. His eight-year sentence was reduced to five years, and he was released last month. At that time, Ruan Tian's mother also called her, saying that Ruan Jianghe wanted to leave the prison. Ruan Tian is asking for money for a restaurant.

Ruan Tian didn't take the initiative to tell her mother that she made a lot of money, because of the age gap and the restrictions of her life circle, Ruan Tian's mother didn't even know what kind of work Ruan Tian was doing.

As long as she can still receive 3000 yuan a month, her mother will not take the initiative to contact her, because her younger brother will go to a special school. Ruan Tian has already made an agreement with her mother that she will not give any more money to her younger brother when he turns 18. .She will not contribute pension money unless her parents are over 60 years old.

Ruan Tian's life is getting better and better, so she doesn't resent her parents, but it is impossible for them to become a loving family again.

Because that family chose to let her be a victim, Ruan Tian is not a fool, of course she knows that she should get rid of all that and live a good life.

So when her mother stopped beating around the bush and asked her for money directly, Ruan Tian flatly refused. "I won't give money. My dad is only 45 years old and a craftsman. He can find a job wherever he goes. Even if he has a criminal record, he won't go to a large restaurant. Instead, he will work as a cook in a small restaurant or a food stall. No one will check his file at all."

Even though Ruan Tian said she refused, her mother still refused to give up, and said sadly, "Just treat it as our loan from you, isn't it okay? I still have 6 yuan in my hand, and you can lend me another 6 yuan." , Your second uncle bought a house in the provincial capital. He can rent us the first-floor house in the county at a low price. When the time comes, we can get through the wall and start doing business. Doing business at home is no better than going to work. Does the person have a strong face?"

But Ruan Tian doesn't believe that her father can do a good job in business, and he certainly didn't come up with the idea of ​​opening a restaurant.He chose to work in a big hotel because he didn't want to continue to run the restaurant left by his grandfather.

It's not that people can't change, but Ruan Tian doesn't trust her father, Ruan Jianghe.In fact, Ruan Jianghe's participation in gambling did not happen overnight. Since Ruan Tian could remember, Ruan Jianghe liked playing mahjong and cards very much, but at that time he gambled a little, that is, he gambled in the chess and card rooms around the community.

At that time, he would gamble all his salary and spend all his spare time in the chess and card room, and Ruan Tian hardly saw him.

Later, he finally went to a large underground casino. During those six months when he was the most wealthy, he finally took their mother and son to the big hotel where he worked for dinner, and bought new clothes for each of them.At first because the casino tricked him into winning some money, and later because he started stealing expensive ingredients from the hotel, so he always had money in his pocket.

Then he was caught.

It can be said that gambling has followed Ruan Jianghe's lifelong habit, so Ruan Tian doesn't believe that he can change his past in just a few years.

What's more, Ruan Jianghe has Ruan Tian's mother by his side.

Ruan Tian's grandparents have two sons and a daughter, but Ruan Jianghe is the most favored.When grandpa was alive, he could still urge him to hone his skills, and grandma only had to subsidize money.

As for Ruan Tian's mother, of course she loves Ruan Jianghe very much.If she didn't love her, she wouldn't have given him two children, and she still refused to leave after he was imprisoned.

Because Ruan Jianghe is good-looking, Ruan Tian has inherited his good looks. He has a pair of passionate eyes, and as he grows older, he only becomes more and more romantic.He speaks sweetly, jokes, and shows weakness, which is especially popular with women.

Ruan Jianghe was spoiled, and in his 40s, he still hasn't learned to take responsibility.

Ruan Tian will never continue to give Ruan Jianghe the bottom line like her grandmother and mother did.Some things just can't be held back.

So Ruan Tian gave an idea. "If it's only 6 yuan, go to the bank for a loan, and use our self-built house as a mortgage."

"It's not worthwhile for the bank to ask for interest." At this moment, Ruan Jianghe interrupted.

"Whether it's worth it or not, I won't borrow it anyway." Ruan Tian hung up the phone forcefully, and her family stopped looking for her. Ruan Tian originally thought that this matter would pass like this, but Ruan Tian didn't expect that she would I saw Ruan Jianghe at the door of the store.

He was wearing a purple shirt with trousers, and his leather shoes were polished. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was a person who liked to dress up.When he saw Ruan Tian, ​​who was going to buy some fresh vegetables in the afternoon, he narrowed his eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were much deeper than five years ago, and his hair that hadn't grown long was also gray.

While waving to Ruan Tian, ​​he quickly walked in front of her, "Xiao Liang from Liu's second family said that you opened a store here, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect my daughter to be so powerful."

Ruan Tian didn't speak.

Ruan Jianghe still said to himself, "Oh, I'm not happy to see your father, and we haven't seen each other for many years."

"Yes, long time no see." Ruan Tian's tone was still very cold.

Ruan Jianghe didn't seem to be able to see the weirdness of the atmosphere, and said in a complaining tone, "Your mother just likes to be whimsical, so don't be as knowledgeable as her. In fact, you haven't even said anything about opening a restaurant. Wen from your second uncle's family Wen didn't agree to change the house, so I came out to work. The salary in Jiangcheng is quite good, I went to the university town to ask, Chinese restaurants can recruit chefs at least 8000, and there are holidays."

Ruan Tian listened calmly until Ruan Jianghe revealed his real purpose, "I see that your restaurant's business is very good, and I heard from Xiao Liang that you are still shooting videos on the Internet, so you must be too busy , instead of asking others to waste money, why don’t you ask your mother and your brother to come and help you, and I’ll be your cook too. If we work hard as a family, we might be able to buy a house in the provincial capital within two years. It's bigger than your second uncle's house."

"No." Ruan Tian blurted out without any thought at all.

His mother was quick in doing things, but she didn't have a good temper with her, she would point fingers at every turn, and recruiting her old man was to find a leader for himself.

The younger brother is quite well-behaved, but his mother never let him work since he was a child, so he has no working experience at all, so he must be taught. He is also a deaf-mute, so it is not easy to teach. Ruan Tian is willing to pay for his younger brother to study He didn't want to go to a professional chef school, especially to teach his younger brother in front of his mother.

As for her father.

Ruan Tian frowned, a little impatient, "Although this store has my name on it, it's my girlfriend's investment, and I can't make the decision."

Ruan Tian focused on the word girlfriend. Since Ruan Jianghe heard about Ruan Tian from others, he naturally knew about her coming out online.

Ruan Jianghe said indifferently, "Your mother is a little upset, but I will persuade her to take it easy. That child seems to belong to a good family, and she certainly won't care about the little money for opening the store. And she is not in the store, right?" , this store is up to you, so what does it matter if you let people from our family come?"

"Can't you find a job and work down-to-earth?" Ruan Tian finally couldn't help it, and yelled at Ruan Jianghe.

Ruan Jianghe said a lot of good things to Ruan Tian, ​​but she was still unmoved, and was yelled at by her own daughter, and finally felt a little humiliated.No longer speaking in a coaxing tone, but sarcastically said, "You are too heartless, live a good life by yourself, and let your parents and brothers suffer."

Words are really a sharp sword that can hurt people. At this moment, Ruan Tian felt extremely sour in her heart and wanted to cry, but she still held back, staring at a pair of red eyes, and asked unrelentingly, "You deserve to raise your conscience?" You lost millions in gambling, and let your whole family suffer with you alone. If you have a conscience, you should go to work and support your own children, instead of letting my daughter help you raise your son."

Sure enough, even a useless man like Ruan Jianghe couldn't bear being called useless.Looking at Ruan Tian with wronged and angry eyes, she finally walked away in despair.

Ruan Tian watched him disappear at the corner of the street, and then came to her senses, raised her hand to touch but found a trace of tears.
