BHBF Chapter 74.1

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 74.1: Playful Son (7)

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu immediately changed his pretended sickly look and looked visibly better.

“Good, good, you are really my good eldest son. You can protect your mother outside and be filial to your father at home.” Shao Yu was very excited.

Seeing Shao Yu’s look at this moment, Shao Jiashan was so excited as if he had done something great. Shao Jiashan couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that just saying he wanted to go home would make Shao Yu so happy. He even thought that Shao Yu’s definition of filial piety was too casual.

After hearing this, Shao Jialiang also said, “Father, I am at home every day too.”

Shao Yu also felt relieved, touched the top of his youngest son’s head and said, “You are both good and filial sons.”

Shao Jialiang’s face lit up with joy when he received the praise.

Shao Yu then asked, “Liang’er, where have you been in your studies recently?”

Shao Jialiang immediately answered respectfully, and Shao Yu nodded beside him.

Shao Jiashan, who was standing aside, wished he could find a place to hide. After all, he was uneducated. If Shao Yu asked him about his studies, he didn’t know how to answer.

He just hoped that Shao Yu would not remember him, so he shrank his neck and hid in the corner of the carriage.

Shao Yu just glanced at his timid eldest son and didn’t seem to want to ask him about his schoolwork.

Gradually, Shao Jiashan relaxed and had the patience to listen to his father and brother talk.

“It’s amazing that you have already learned this much at your age,” Shao Yu praised.

Shao Yu has always been a strict father at home. He is busy with official duties and does not have much time to pay attention to his children’s studies. In addition, he has a serious face most of the time and rarely praises his children, so he does not have a close relationship with his children.

At this moment, Shao Jialiang even felt that his father praised him more today than in his entire previous life.

But perhaps because of what Shao Yu said before, Shao Jialiang did not think of other reasons. He just thought that his father’s health was not as good as before, so he changed his usual behavior and was not stingy in showing good face to his sons.

Shao Jiashan, who was standing by, watched his father praise his younger brother from the beginning to the end of the check on his academic performance. He couldn’t help but feel a little jealous and thought to himself how great it would be if he was the one being praised constantly by his father.

The carriage soon arrived home, and a bright moon rose in the sky.

Shao Yu looked at his two sons and said, “You must be tired after going out today. Go back and rest early.”

Although the two men went out just to follow Shao Yu to cheer him on, in fact it was Shao Yu who really worked hard, but since Shao Yu had given such instructions, the two sons agreed together.

Shao Jialiang followed up and said, “Father has worked hard today, so you should rest early.”

Shao Jiashan would not say such a thing, so he quickly followed his brother’s example and said, “Father, take more rest.”

Shao Yu nodded.

The two sons were planning to watch their father go back to his room, but Shao Yu just stood there and watched them. The two were a little puzzled, so Shao Jialiang asked, “Father, do you have anything else to tell your sons?”

Shao Yu stared at him for a long time, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said, “Forget it.”

Shao Jialiang hurriedly said, “Father, please go ahead and tell me.”

Shao Yu could only say, “I don’t have to attend the morning court tomorrow. I will have breakfast at home. I don’t know if I can see you.”

The youngest son was well-behaved and sensible, so he said, “Don’t worry, father. I will wait for you outside your yard early tomorrow morning.”

Shao Yu looked at Shao Jiashan, and before his eldest son could speak, he said, “Forget it, your eldest brother will definitely not be able to get up. I always feel that the family is not together.”

Shao Jialiang quickly pushed his elder brother.

Seeing Shao Yu’s pitiful words, Shao Jiashan immediately said, “Don’t worry, father. I promise.”

Shao Yu immediately laughed and said, “Okay, I’ll ask Zhao Zhong to wake you up early tomorrow morning.”

Zhao Zhong was one of Shao Yu’s attendants. He always had a serious face, like a replica of Shao Yu. Shao Jiashan never liked dealing with this attendant, so when he heard the name, he felt a sudden shock in his heart.

Shao Jiashan wanted to suggest changing someone, but Shao Yu, as if he had already accomplished something great, turned around happily and went into the house, not even giving him a chance to refuse.

Shao Jialiang took the initiative to pull his elder brother.

The two brothers had always had a relationship that was not much better than strangers. Perhaps it was because they fought side by side today, Shao Jialiang suddenly felt closer to his eldest brother, and he pulled his eldest brother back.

The two brothers’ yards were separated by only a wall, so they were on the same way.

“Brother, father is in poor health. We should try to accommodate him more and avoid making him angry as much as possible.” Shao Jialiang said.

Shao Jiashan felt a little guilty at this time. His younger brother had always been sensible and never caused trouble. Unless something major happened, he would never make his father angry.

But he is different. Even if he feels he has done nothing wrong, others still like to come to his house to cause trouble, so he cannot guarantee that he will not make his father angry.

Shao Jialiang didn’t understand his brother’s situation. Seeing that he didn’t say anything, he thought he was unwilling, so he said helplessly: “If brother can’t guarantee this, can you stay at home more? After all, if father looks at you more, he will be happier.”
