Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America
Chapter 17: Conversation between adults
As soon as Mike came in, he saw that Lin Zidan had already woken up. The moment their eyes met, he seemed a little embarrassed, but he soon said in a gentle tone:
"Your mother went to ask you when you can eat. You must be hungry, right? She just bought you hot noodle soup!"
From Mike's point of view, he has never treated this child badly. Even if Lin Zidan is not his own, he will treat him like his own child, providing him with food, shelter and school. These small money are nothing to him. Not worth mentioning.
What's more, he had notarized his property before marriage. Anyway, Lin Zidan had no right to inherit his dime. It's just that what he couldn't understand was why the kid had been making trouble with him from the moment he got off the plane,
It seems that both he and Mary are enemies with him, so in the past two years, he has become more and more uncomfortable with this child's attitude.
Education in the United States is very open. Equality and mutual respect are encouraged between parents and children. He feels that the child lacks such awareness, but his mother always condone it blindly, which makes him very puzzled and angry. .
Especially looking at Li Manrui's grievance but holding back, Mike occasionally couldn't help but say a few words about Li Manrui's education method, but the result was that the mother and son did not understand. Over time, the relationship between him and the child It seems more rusty and more difficult to communicate.
Just like now, when a normal child sees an adult coming in, he will always say hello! But looking at the child lying there, looking like he was about to die, the most hateful thing was that he didn't seem to take himself seriously at all!
Mike was hesitating whether or not to go out to find Li Manrui, but suddenly he heard the child's first speech!
"Thank you~"
Lin Zidan glanced lightly at the tall man who was a little embarrassed, and said politely, although he knew that Lin Zidan would definitely not want him to do this, but since he decided to live,
Why don't you hug this ready-made golden thigh? What's more, he is still under the eaves of others!
"?"
Mike's expression was also surprised. This was the first time the child had spoken to him calmly, and it was also a thank you! It also seemed to be sincere, so he replied calmly:
"You're welcome~"
Mike paced in, tried his best to pretend to be calm, pulled up the chair beside the bed and sat down. Just as he didn't know what to say to this rebellious child next, he heard Lin Zidan's cold voice sound again.
"She's pregnant, be nice to her!"
Lin Zidan looked into his eyes and said calmly, as if trying to express his seriousness.
This time Mike's eyes widened, not because of Li Manrui's pregnancy, but because he was shocked that the child would say such a thing to him today.
"Don't worry about this, my own woman, I will take good care of her!"
Mike is a slightly macho Italian-American. When he said this, he was quite arrogant and natural, making it difficult to doubt his words.
"It's you..."
Seeing Lin Zidan's expression that didn't change, Mike tentatively took what he wanted to say.
"If you can give her some peace of mind, I think she will be better off!"
Seeing that Lin Zidan's eyes flickered, but rarely did he refute what he said, Mike suddenly became bold.
"You will be an adult soon. I hope you can communicate and communicate with us like an adult, and tell me or Mary what you think. In this way, I think we will get along more harmoniously and happily!"
Mike felt that today's Lin Zidan seemed to be very different from his usual days. Taking advantage of Li Manrui's absence, he said everything he wanted to say.
Judging from the tone and attitude of Mike's speech just now, he is not a difficult person to get along with, and he still cares about Li Manrui, even though this man has some of the usual arrogance and self-righteousness of the old beauty.
"Daniel woke up?"
Lin Zidan hesitated for a moment, just when he didn't know how to answer Mike, Li Manrui, who went out to consult the nurse's precautions, pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Lin Zidan awake, there was a little excitement on his face that couldn't be concealed.
Li Manrui was afraid that the two of them would be as tense as before when they met, so after asking the nurse, she hurried back. Who knew that she pushed the door and came in, but she felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the ward.
Lin Zidan didn't glared at Mike, and Mike wasn't as bossy as he usually does, but the two of them were uncharacteristically at peace with each other.
"Uh, you... are you okay?"
Li Manrui looked left and right at the expressions of the two, and asked cautiously.
"It's alright, give me the dried oxtail powder, I'm a little hungry!"
Lin Zidan glanced at Mike who was waiting to answer, and said quickly.
"Oh, okay, let the driver drive fast, the soup is still hot~"
As Li Manrui said that, he quickly opened the package, mixed the soup noodles in two places, and handed it to Lin Zidan who was sitting there shaking the hospital bed. Just as he was about to help him separate the disposable chopsticks, he heard Lin Zidan Tan said lightly.
"I'll come by myself!"
"Oh, well, eat slowly, it's still hot!"
Li Manrui handed the chopsticks to Lin Zidan, and quickly put the toilet paper on the bed beside Lin Zidan's bowl.
"Why don't you guys go back, I'm fine here, I'll call you when the report comes out, and I'll ask Zhang Jinglai to bring me something to eat in the evening!"
Lin Zidan sucked the dried powder into his mouth, and confronted Li Manrui, who was looking at him in a loud voice.
"Ah? It's alright, Mom is not tired, hurry up and eat first!"
Li Manrui glanced at Mike, who didn't speak again after coming in. While worried that Mike blamed her for doting on her child, she was reluctant to leave such a well-behaved and obedient son.
"I have a party tonight and I need you to join me. I believe Daniel can take care of himself."
Unexpectedly, Mike said at this time.
"A reception?"
Li Manrui hadn't heard Mike mention it before, so she looked at Mike with a little surprise.
"Go and get busy, I'm fine!"
Lin Zidan put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Manrui's hesitant eyes, and said very seriously.
"Look, now that Daniel has grown up, you don't have to worry about it all the time, not to mention that you're still not feeling well~"
Mike finally talked about what Lin Zidan really cared about.
"Yes, go back quickly!" Lin Zidan said impatiently.
Li Manrui looked at her husband, then at her son, and finally decided to leave with Mike.
Although my son has been a little abnormal since yesterday, at least it has changed for the better. Maybe an accident really made the child grow up and become sensible. Thinking of this,
Li Manrui was also slightly relieved. With Mike's help, he reluctantly left Lin Zidan's ward.
"Hu~" As soon as the door of the ward was closed, Lin Zidan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he felt that Li Manrui still cared about this son, not the kind of resentment and hatred that Lin Zidan thought.
Lin Zidan felt that his mother abandoned him, so he was prejudiced, while Li Manrui felt that he owed his son and felt guilty. Neither of them understood and communicated the crux of the problem from a correct perspective.
"We have to find a way to change Li Manrui's education method. How good is it for everyone to communicate equally and democratically as Mike said?"
Lin Zidan ate the dried oxtail noodles that he had been craving for two days, and silently planned how to convince Li Manrui that he was no longer a child!
After eating, Lin Zidan finally had time to open the schoolbag that Li Manrui had put on the bedside. He had to quickly see what the textbook for the third year of high school looked like. Of course, it must be different from that in China, but the knowledge of high school in China is relatively deep.
Especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry, he only hoped that the mathematics, physics and chemistry here would be easier, so that if he worked hard for a year and a half, he might be able to go to a good university for further study.
"Ding Lingling~" While thinking about it, the phone placed beside the pillow suddenly rang.
