Chapter 12 Mother-daughter Chat

1

Lin Ying, who came home earlier than usual, greeted her mother's curious eyes as soon as she opened the door.

"Why did you come back so early?" The TV is broadcasting a Korean drama that many girls have discussed recently. My mother saw Lin Ying enter the house, put down the remote control in her hand, got up and went into the kitchen, and took out the grapefruit just bought and peeled at the night market and put it on the coffee table.

"I'm not feeling well, so I asked for leave in advance and came back." Lin Ying sat next to her mother and took the remote control to the science channel. The origin of the Big Bang was broadcast on TV.

"What's wrong with you? I'll find medicine for you." The mother looked at her anxiously, touching her head on the left and rubbing her stomach on the right.

"It's okay. I'm not feeling well. Mom, don't touch it. Watch TV with me."

"Qingqing, are you really okay today? You always go back to your room to study when you come back at this time. Mother looked at Lin Ying with a surprised face.

"Mom, do you think people who can only learn become machines? It seems that I only know how to learn, but I miss a lot of other things. The mother was blank and didn't know what Lin Ying wanted to say, so she didn't answer.

"Watch TV!"

"Qingqing, what's wrong with you today?" My mother seemed to react for a long time and turned her head and asked.

"It's nothing. It's just a sudden feeling. Look, I'm going back to the house." With that, he returned the remote control to his mother and staggered back to the house alone.

"Hey, don't sleep. Why is our girl weird today?" When Lin Ying closed the door, her mother quickly ran to the bedroom and woke up her father.

"What's the matter?" The father asked in a daze.

"She came back earlier than usual today and said something inexplicable."

"What did you say?" The father sat up, turned on the lamp, and put his eyes next to the lamp so that he could see his mother clearly.

"Ask me if I will become a machine or something if I study too much... What do you mean by her words?" My mother hugged her knees and thought about what Lin Ying had just said, but she couldn't understand what it meant.

"When the child grows up, it's normal to have this kind of thinking. Don't worry so much." After hearing this, my father relaxed and lay down.

"No, there must be something wrong. I'll call her head teacher tomorrow."

"Don't call the teacher all the time. It's not a problem that we can't solve. Always call the teacher. If you are particularly worried, then find time to have a friend-like chat with your child tomorrow."

"What are you waiting for tomorrow? I'll go now." With that, he got out of bed and walked to Lin Ying's room.

"You are so impatient." My father complained in the back.

"You keep your voice quiet and don't let the child hear you." Mother moved to Lin Ying's room like a thief.

"Qingqing, are you asleep?" The mother asked quietly through the door.

"None!"

"Is that mother coming in?"

"Come in!" When her mother entered the room, Lin Ying was sitting in ** reading an English magazine. She sat next to Lin Ying.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Lin Ying looked up at her mother, then lowered her head and continued to read the magazine.

"It's okay! Mom, will you sleep with me today?"

"Did you quarrel with my father?"

"When did it happen?" What Lin Ying said stunned her mother.

"I heard what you said in the room just now. I thought you had a quarrel!"

"Nothing is that I suddenly want to chat with you, such as study, life, stress and so on. Let's talk about it all. Mom knows how my good daughter's life has been recently!"

"Okay, that's right. I'm sleepy. Go to bed now!" Lin Ying turned off the table lamp and got into the quilt.

"Qingqing, what happened today?" The mother asked carefully.

"I went to the game hall today!" Although Lin Ying knows that her mother is a typical exaggeration, and the plot of her hope for her daughter to become a phoenix is particularly serious, and her emotions will be amplified in everything related to her, she does not want to lie to her mother.

"Game hall? Is that where you can go?" The mother raised the volume excitedly.

"Mom, don't be so excited, or I may not tell you anything in the future." After Lin Ying finished speaking, her mother quickly calmed down and listened to Lin Ying's words.

"In the past, I always thought that I was born to learn. I was even reading magazines to learn English, and I only watched science channels on TV. I never felt wrong. Instead, I thought that I had good grades and had an extraordinary sense of superiority. Until noon today, I didn't think there was anything wrong with me, even if everyone was in class. Talking about entertainment gossip, I'm just a listener. I never feel wrong. I just feel that they are wasting time on useless things, and I use it to learn!" Lin Ying looked at the ceiling in the dark, as if talking to herself.

"It was not until the afternoon when I went to the game hall that I knew that I had been too obedient. I had never crossed the boundary between the things you prohibited, but at the same time, I lost too much joy I should have. Mom, what should I do if there is only learning and self-righteousness in my future life? There was a little helplessness and confusion in Lin Ying's voice.

"Qingqing, my mother has always believed that as long as you study hard, become the top student in the class, and become a famous in society in the future, then your future will be very happy. So since you were a baby, I have paved the way for you, arranged a timetable for you, and made you my pride. But my mother, like you, never thought it was wrong, but when I heard your words today, my mother felt very regretful. Depriving you of your childhood to fulfill my dreams, and even sacrificing your self-feeling to make me feel the envious eyes of others. Mom is sorry for you. The mother choked and said these words.

"Mom, I never blame you. I just want to review myself. I don't want to live so numbly anymore."

"Then do what you want to do. There is only one time for youth. If you lose it, you will never find it back. Mom hopes that you can feel the happiness brought by life instead of learning and the depression you bring to you. Learning is important, but I still hope I have a daughter with mental health." Mother held Lin Ying in her arms.

"Mom!" Lin Ying got into her mother's arms like when she was a child, and she was very grateful to her mother.

"The wind is light, the moon is bright, and the shade of the trees is bright! Baby, go to sleep quickly..." Lin Ying leaned against her mother's arms and fell asleep. With her mother's hug, it was the most secure night.
