Chapter 267 Little Joy 44

"Fang Yifan, come and eat." Fang Yiqian said gently after seeing Fang Yifan coming out.

"Sister, you're back." Fang Yifan looked at his sister and smiled, but the smile was a little forced.

"I just came back a while ago. By the way, I bought you some food. Lei'er has moved into your room, right, Lei'er?" Fang Yiqian looked at Lin Lei'er and confirmed.

"Oh." Fang Yifan was a little happy when he heard the news, but his mood was still not high.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Lin Lei'er sensitively noticed that his cousin was abnormal. He had never seen a cousin like this before. Usually, his cousin was always full of energy and enthusiasm.

"It's okay." Fang Yifan shook his head, sat down, and looked a little confused and lost.

"Sit down quickly and have a portion each. Qianqian, you should eat something too to keep Fanfan company." Fang Yuan was secretly worried when he saw his son's look, and quickly invited everyone to eat together.

"Cousin, you go first. Eat something first. Don't be hungry." Lin Lei'er hurriedly opened the packaged pizza and handed it to Fang Yifan.

"Fanfan, this is what you like to eat, have some." Fang Yiqian said softly, feeling sorry for her brother. She knew that the recent events had put Fang Yifan under a lot of pressure and made him feel depressed.

Fang Yifan took the pizza and took a bite, but he couldn't taste it at all. He chewed silently, his thoughts drifting far away.

"You still have to eat. Dad is celebrating for you and is proud of you. Eat your meal bite by bite and achieve results little by little, okay?" Fang Yuan comforted Fang Yifan.

Hearing this, Fang Yifan's mood did not improve. He lowered his head and whispered, "Dad, it would be great if you always had the final say at home. That would be great."

After hearing this, Fang Yuan patted his son's head and said with a smile: "Dad has always had the final say at home, right? Oh, it depends on the situation. Yes, dad has the final say. Sometimes dad doesn't have the final say, but today dad has the final say. Dad recognizes your progress, and your sister also recognizes your progress, right Qianqian?"

Fang Yiqian immediately nodded in agreement. She encouraged Fang Yifan and said, "That's right. I want to praise you, too. It's great that you've made progress."

Fang Yifan looked at his sister gratefully, then turned to Fang Yuan and said, "Thank you, sister. But dad, you are the one who affirms my progress, but my mom doesn't think I have made any progress."

Fang Yuan nodded in understanding, and he patiently explained: "Mom, you don't understand yet. Sometimes I just get anxious. Mom, yes, okay, then let me ask you, your grades have gone up..."

"Fifty-seven," Lei'er reminded in time.

"Fifty-seven points is an improvement, but mom doesn't see it that way. Mom doesn't compare scores. She compares horizontally to see if your ranking has regressed a little?" Fang Yuan said after hearing this.

"Well, it has regressed a little," Lin Lei'er nodded in agreement.

Fang Yiqian silently admired Lei'er in her heart. This kid was really amazing. He could always hit the right spot for Fang Yifan. He was simply a master of flattery!

"Yes, is this true? If it is true, we have to admit it and accept it. Mom's method may not be right, but her intention is good." Fang Yuan said to Fang Yifan earnestly.

Fang Yiqian secretly admired in her heart, what Dad said was really good! Perhaps it was because Dad had such an open-minded and optimistic character and was good at dealing with family conflicts that their family could be so happy! As soon as Dad said this, Fang Yifan's mood would definitely gradually improve.

"Yes, I admit that she has good intentions towards me, but she can't yell at me in front of so many people. How can I put my face down when so many people are watching me?" Fang Yifan said with tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved. He knew that his mother's love for him was sincere and deep, but he couldn't accept his mother's scolding him in front of so many people.

"You are like this. You look at yourself vertically, and feel that you have made progress from 399th to 456th. But mom looks at you horizontally, and feels that compared with others in the district, you have not made any progress. The two of you are looking at things in the wrong way. Looking at it vertically or horizontally has its own reasons. But mom really cares about you and treats you well. If you look at your mom, you can't look at it this way. Sometimes you should change your angle. Can you look at your mom horizontally?" Fang Yuan said to Fang Yifan earnestly.

Fang Yifan was touched when he heard Fang Yuan's words, but he still asked stubbornly, "Why am I looking sideways?"

Fang Yuan patiently explained: "If you look at your mother vertically, you will always think that your mother is mean to you today, scolds you tomorrow, is strict with you, and always criticizes you. You are looking at your mother vertically. If you look at her horizontally, you compare her with other mothers and you will think that she is a really good mother, a mother who really cares about you, and a very lovely mother." He described in detail his views on mothers from different perspectives, hoping to make Fang Yifan understand the truth.

Fang Yifan was silent for a moment, thinking about Fang Yuan's words, and his heart gradually began to waver. He realized that perhaps he had always only seen his mother's strict side, and ignored her care and love for him.

"Let's not compare ourselves with others. Take Aunt Song Qian for example. She is even stricter with Yingzi than mom is with you, right? Moreover, your sister has always been at the top of the class in her studies, but mom did not ask you to be as good as her. Since junior high school, the toys and action figures that you like, as well as the various magazines that you read, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Batman, etc., will be satisfied as long as mom's financial conditions allow, right? Now, even though you have grown up, mom still allows you to continue playing. Sometimes you even play games at home, such as PUBG. Although mom will object, she will let you play in the end, right? Aunt Song Qian doesn't even allow Yingzi to touch Lego. So, from this point of view, mom is sometimes very good. You should think so, Fang Yifan." Fang Yuan said to Fang Yifan earnestly.

Lin Leier listened to his uncle quietly, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement. He felt that what his uncle said made a lot of sense.

Fang Yiqian has always believed that her parents are very good parents. They never stop their children from doing what they like, and sometimes they even encourage them. It's just that now they are in the critical period of senior high school. For parents, grades are a tool to help them enter the society better, so they hope that their children can achieve excellent grades. Such expectations are understandable.

After hearing what his father said, Fang Yifan lowered his head silently and began to think.

Just then, Tong Wenjie came home from get off work. She walked in with a bored look on her face, took off her shoes and went straight into the room.
