Fortunately, Huang Jinghua came to stop him at the right time, so the atmosphere of the meal was not ruined.

"Stop talking, Yanping, today is the weekend! It's rare for our family to get together, so we should thank our daughter."

The dishes were served one by one, and Huo Xin's dining style was very expert.

"Mom, no, it has to be like this! Real French people use their forks like this..." She even corrected her mother's technique while eating.

Huo Yanping took a sip of wine and wanted to say nothing more, but when he saw his daughter behaving like this, he felt very uneasy.

So he couldn't help but speak again, "Xinxin, you are still young. You have to know that society is very complicated and people are also very complicated. Now our country is open, but because the changes are too fast, okay

The bad ones are swarming in. We must distinguish between right and wrong, but we cannot learn everything. We still have to maintain our fine traditions..."

"Hey hey hey..."

Unexpectedly, Huo Xin couldn't help but laugh. The more she laughed, the harder it was to suppress it. She even stopped eating.

He just wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Dad, I'm impressed by you. You're actually giving a report while eating! Who asked you to engage in foreign affairs work? You're really dim-sighted. He should let you stay in China as a secretary.

…”

Even Huang Jinghua felt that these words were meaningless and dry.

"Okay, it's a big weekend, don't keep telling your children these big principles."

"What's the big deal?"

Huo Yanping retorted firmly.

"What I'm saying is right. Don't be disinclined to hear it. This matter is very important. People are affected by their environment. If I leave my daughter alone, I will harm her. Why do I care about her? I also want to ask her

What kind of friends do you have around you?"

Huo Xin became serious now.

She put down her knife and fork completely, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and rested her arms on the table.

"Dad, I don't understand. Ever since I was a child, you have told me to broaden my horizons, increase my knowledge, stop being closed off, and stop being self-conscious. You have told me to watch more TV, read more newspapers, and make more friends with active ideas.

, interact more with capable people. You should even have more contact with foreigners and learn more about foreign affairs, right?"

"Yes. Don't you think this is bad?"

"It's not bad, it's just that you make me confused. Look at it now, you actually want me not to learn this, not to learn that, and to maintain some fine traditions. You also say that society is complicated and you wish the world would suddenly become dangerous.

.I don’t understand, what kind of person do you want me to be? Should I be fashionable and avant-garde, or should I be traditional and conservative? Should I make more friends and be a good communicator? Or should I be independent, stay true to myself, not care about others at all, and do my own thing?

And for foreigners, do you require that the people I come into contact with are all people of your age, status and status?"

This question left Huo Yanping speechless.

Because to be honest, even he himself is conflicted about his daughter.

When the child did not grow up, he hoped that his daughter would become an adult soon, become independent and self-reliant soon.

But now that I see her growing up, I don't feel comfortable with it.

I'm afraid that she will be influenced by bad friends and live her life with a determined attitude.

What to say to the child?

"That's right," Huo Yanping swallowed a sip of wine, "I think that when it comes to family values ​​and ethics, our tradition is better. This means that in these aspects, you should have your own opinions and stick to what you should stick to.

.Apart from these, I don’t want to interfere in other aspects..."

"Of course I have my own persistence. But I feel that you will never trust me to take care of yourself."

"You can't say that. I'm just afraid of you because you're young...I'm afraid of you..."

"What are you afraid of me for?"

"Suffer!"

"What's the disadvantage?"

"Suffering from girls."

"Humph," Huo Xin sneered, "You are such a feudal head. So this is what you are worried about. Do you think you can feel completely at ease only if I don't make friends of the opposite sex? Let me tell you frankly,

It really makes me sick..."

"Xinxin!" Huang Jinghua stopped Huo Xin with stern words, "You can't talk to dad like that!"

At this time, a melodious violin sound came from the other end of the restaurant.

It turned out that it was the birthday of one of the guests at the table, and the musician in the restaurant played this tune on the violin.

The guests at that table immediately became excited. Not only did they applaud together, they also sang along with the music.

Then a chef wearing a tall white hat pushed a dining cart and delivered a cake.

This invisibly eased the language conflict between Huo Xin's family.

Huo Xin took the opportunity to leave and go to the bathroom, leaving only her parents in their seats.

"My daughter has grown up." Huo Yanping looked at Huo Xin's back and sighed.

"Um."

"Her personality is very different from before."

"Why is it different?"

"She has become so stubborn that she no longer has any docility. She is also too smart and capable. If she is not guided well, something may happen."

"This child is not like you when you were young. You are receptive, quick to react, impetuous, and disobedient. You are impatient and stubborn!"

These words made Huo Yanping laugh, he also liked hearing this.

As a father, of course he would be satisfied because his daughter's personality is close to his own.

"But," he said, "haven't I changed now? Apart from the fact that I can't help being anxious about my daughter's affairs, when have you ever seen me lose my temper? There's no need to treat my family. Of course,

I am also concerned about chaos."

"You have to talk to her carefully about what's on your mind. I believe that as long as you have patience, your daughter will understand us..."

"I don't think so." Huo Yanping said, "I think that after living apart for so many years, my daughter's trust in us is far less than her trust in the friends around her. I have to find out who her friends are.
