VIP Volume 364 - When I Was a Child (I)



Zhang Kun really couldn't imagine what could lead to this outcome.

However, after being silent for a long time, Liu Chengde's gloomy face finally slowly dissipated, and with a slow sigh, Liu Chengde spoke with a bitter face.

"Zhang Kun, do you know what my greatest wish in this life is?"

Zhang Kun, who was in a state of thought, was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while: "Yes, keep your father's inheritance, and then carry it forward?"

Thinking back to the contact with Liu Chengde, this is the most impressive sentence that Zhang Kun has said, and it is also the sentence that Liu Chengde has said the most, and Liu Chengde is indeed doing this, so it should be this.

However, Liu Chengde shook his head silently, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Kun: "My greatest wish is to surpass my father." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Kun was obviously stunned.

"It's weird, isn't it?" Liu Chengde smiled bitterly.

"No, no. Zhang Kun shook his head and hurriedly said: "Surpassing your father, the blue is better than the blue, isn't this what many people want." ”

"It's not that kind of transcendence!" Liu Chengde shook his head silently: "The transcendence I am talking about is victory." ”

"I will overcome my father, I will tell him that I am better than him. Liu Chengde's voice rose sharply, and the high-pitched voice strongly echoed throughout the room.

And after saying this, Liu Chengde gasped violently, as if the exit of the sentence just now had exhausted all his strength.

At this time, Zhang Kun looked at Liu Chengde blankly, the sentence just now, it seems that Liu Chengde seems to regard his father as an enemy, as if he is an object that he wants to defeat no matter what?

He's your father.......

As if sensing Zhang Kun's suspicious gaze, Liu Chengde gasped for a while, then smiled bitterly and spoke again.

"Zhang Kun, maybe I told you before, when my family was a child, they were very poor, very hard, and had a very difficult life, so at that time my father taught me that people can't rely on others, because others are unreliable. ”

"You can't rely on the sky, money won't fall from the sky, you can't rely on the ground, the earth won't give you food for no reason, and even your relatives can't rely on it, and there are fewer things that happen when disaster strikes? ”

"This is what my father repeatedly emphasized to me when I was a child, and it is because of these words that my father said that he wanted me to experience it firsthand, so from the age of 10, my father will never give me any help except for the most basic guarantee of food and shelter. ”

"I want to study, I have to earn my own tuition, I want snacks, I want to earn myself, I want textbooks, pencils, I want to earn myself, I want new clothes, I earn ....... ”

"Everything, anything, except for food and shelter, anything I want, I have to work on my own. ”

"But I was only ten years old at the time...... ”

Speaking of this, a hint of gritted teeth flashed on Liu Chengde's eyes, but soon, he sighed slowly.

"Yes, I'm only ten years old, what can I do?"

"But if I want to go to school, then I have to earn my own tuition, and for that money, I started working, and I did almost everything I could. ”

"Helping restaurants wash up, selling newspapers, delivering milk, delivering things to others, etc., in short, I can think of and can do it, I have basically done it. ”

"But I was so young, even if I had to do something, how much could I do? And I had to go to school. ”

"Sometimes, I see other children of the same age, holding lollipops in their hands, eating fragrant bread, drinking sweet milk, but I never dare to buy it, I don't have no money, I have earned some money selling newspapers and working part-time, but I have to endure it for tuition. ”

"There were no snacks, no new clothes, no time to play, I worked hard just to earn my own tuition, but half a year later, when it was my turn to pay my tuition for the first time, I found that my money was still not enough. ”

"Yes, it's not enough, and it's far from enough, not even half of the tuition fee. ”

"At that time, my father sneered, 'Look, this is your ability, you have worked hard for half a year, but you can't even earn your own tuition, this is still me to feed you and live for you, what if you don't have these?'"

"When I heard this, my heart was really bitter, sore, and painful. ”

"Why, when other children my age are living carefree lives, I need to do this? They can play happily, they have lollipops, new clothes, bread and milk. ”

"And what about me? I'm going to work, I'm going to deliver milk, I'm going to wash dishes, I'm going to sell newspapers ....... ”

"Those hardships are actually nothing in my heart, I don't complain, but why, even if I work hard, in exchange for not a word of praise from my father, but cynicism?"

I really didn't believe it, but it was then that I finally remembered that sentence. ”

"Don't rely on the sky, don't rely on the earth, don't rely on your family, you can only rely on yourself!"

"Since then, I've learned **, the first tuition problem, and in the end I borrowed half of the money from my father, and then I paid it!"

"That's right, it's borrowing, although my mother tried to give me money quietly many times, but I didn't ask for it, because I wanted my father to know that even if I didn't rely on them, I could do it. ”

"Then, I worked harder, originally I went out to work for about four hours a day except for school, but since then, I have been doing at least seven or eight hours a day, going out to deliver milk and newspapers before dawn every day, and I don't go home for dinner until it gets dark and ** o'clock. ”

"In the beginning, I was tired every day and cried in bed, but every time this time, the words that my father used to say would ring in my ears, and then I continued to insist on it the next day. ”

"That's it, a month, two months, half a year....... ”

"I was able to earn more and more money, the debt I borrowed from my father was paid off in the third month, and when I paid the tuition for the second time, I was finally able to pay the full amount myself. ”

"When I paid the tuition myself, I was full of joy, although half a year of hard work made me physically and mentally exhausted, but I felt that it was worth it because I did it. ”

"When I happily took the tuition bill to my parents, but my father took a look, then threw the bill on the table and gave me a faint look. ”

It's been half a year, and I can only earn my own tuition, and if I were you, I would be able to support a family so hard. ’

With such a fluttering sentence, my hard work of getting up early in the morning and feeling dark for half a year seems to be worthless in an instant. ”

On that day, I finally understood the meaning of my father's words again, and from then on, there was less talk between me and my father, and I was busy working every day to earn my own tuition, while my father also worked hard to support the family. ”
