When you grow up, the shortcomings of the older generation will be infinitely magnified. For this point, after a year, Wei Chenglin had a deep experience.

For example, Uncle Dong, a neighbor, thought he was quite kind when he was a child, he loved these children very much, and he was still warm-hearted, and he would help anyone in trouble. But as the children grow up, their shortcomings are revealed, that is, endless preaching, and self-confidence without a reason.

That year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the neighbors of Jixiang Road still gathered together to eat. During the banquet, Lao Dong drank a little too much, wiped his lips, and excitedly educated these children.

"Qiao Lu, how much money can you earn a month?—— enough to support yourself? That's okay. However, no matter how successful your career is, you still have to get married! After the New Year, 27 or 28?——28? Oh, that's really a big deal! If you don't get married after 30, it's difficult!"

"Sun Ruiyang! You still have a few years to graduate?—— you have to study for eight years in a row? That's still early! If you want me to say, you will return to Fortress Hill Hospital in Gangcheng after graduation! You have to make more contributions to your hometown! We adults are old, so we have something to rely on, right?"

"Jolene! You just go back to No. 2 Middle School to be an English teacher! Teaching and educating people is meaningful! Little girl, it's best to be a teacher! Don't go into the enterprise, it's still unstable to be tired and tired. In the future, I will take the exam and become a public family, and I will not have to worry about it for the rest of my life!"

"Wei Chenglin! Although you have poured a belly of foreign ink outside, you can't forget your roots! You have to always remember that you are Chinese! You can't stay outside in the future, you have to be like your sister Qiaolu, you can only do it when you return to China......

Wei Chenglin was yelled at by him and didn't want to pay attention to him. But Sun Ruiyang and Qiao Lin agreed with smiles, and he had to reluctantly nod his head.

Wei Chenglin forced himself not to show a look of disgust, but he couldn't do it. His thigh suddenly hurt, and it turned out that his mother had pinched him.

It could be seen that my mother was a little angry, but she still smiled and played a round game: "That is, Cheng Lin can't take his brothers and sisters as an example! After learning outside, come back to serve the country." ”

It's so official.

Wei Chenglin was noncommittal, his face was full of numbness.

But Lao Dong didn't see Wei Chenglin's impatience, and when he heard Zhao Yanfen agreeing with his point of view, he happily said a lot, what is it to stay away from the entertainment industry, you have to clean yourself, don't take drugs, and so on......

Before going to the United States to study, Wei Chenglin never thought that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner would be so tormenting. He even wanted to leave early, the Spring Festival Gala was not interesting, and what the adults said was not interesting, it was better to go home and watch the NBA highlights.

But my mother was not very happy, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he still persevered to the end. As a result, when he got home, his mother reprimanded him with a gloomy face: "It's great to study in the United States, isn't it?"

“......？？？”

"After drinking foreign ink for a few days, it's amazing, isn't it?"

“......”

"After a few songs, you look down on the people on this street, don't you?"

"I don't think so......"

"Your problem is, you obviously think so, you don't realize it yet!" Zhao Yanfen became more and more angry the more she spoke, pointing at her son and scolding: "Have a meal, you have a cold face from beginning to end, and let you, a big musician, accompany us to eat, it's really wronged to death you!"

......

Wei Chenglin was very aggrieved, he wanted to tell his mother that it was not like that at all. But when you ask yourself, Mom has a point—he really doesn't like talking to people on the street very much, and the common language is becoming less and less, but he didn't realize it himself until he was scolded.

"These old people, who have no education, don't understand what you young people are thinking in their heads. What can we talk about during the Chinese New Year? Isn't it just getting married, studying, working, and so on? If you don't like it, the smile will be over. Like what your Uncle Dong said, Qiao Lu, Sun Ruiyang, and Qiao Lin don't like to listen to it, but who is like you? Isn't it just to be happy during the New Year? Old Dong has a hard life, so he can talk to you children during the New Year. If you don't like to listen to it, it's nothing, but you don't even bother to play haha! At least when you were a child, he helped our family many times, and you forgot about it! Don't be too harsh on the elderly!"

Wei Chenglin was scolded by his mother and felt very uncomfortable. He pillowed his arms, opened his eyes until dawn, and thought silently—as if he was indeed a little floating.

As a young leader in the chemistry industry, Qiao Lu is not incompatible with such a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, or as she has been for many years, she naturally talks and laughs with every elder. Wei Chenglin thought to himself, compared to Sister Qiao Lu, he was too cold and not simple at all.

In the dark night, he beat his chest and asked himself - where did his original heart go?

Everyone will say "don't forget your original intention", but you always lose your original intention inadvertently.

Thanks to his mother's scolding and waking him up, he didn't say anything to his mother again, but he knew what to do. After a few hours of sleep, he got up, washed up, and went out.

Zhao Yanfen was afraid that he would run away from home, so she asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"New Year's greetings!"

“......”

"Called Qiao Lin, and Brother Ruiyang, let's go to Uncle Dong and them to greet the New Year. Wei Chenglin raised the collar of his coat and smiled slyly: "Go and ask for a few pieces of candy to eat, I haven't begged for several years." ”

"Oh, then you can go!"

Compared with Lao Dong's blind fingering, Lao Qiao is much more measured. He never interfered too much in the children's affairs. As soon as Qiao Lu and Qiao Nan called and talked about what they had done recently, Old Qiao would say, "You are all older, much more powerful than my old bones." If I have the money to contribute, I can still help, but forget about it!"

Qiao Nan gradually stabilized, and Li Lanzhi was left with two heart problems - Qiao Lu's marriage and Qiao Lin's work.

She probed Qiao Lu's tone and knew that she still wanted to have a home, but she couldn't find a particularly suitable one, and she talked with Xiaolin in Shanghai without saltiness. That kind of relationship is delicate, that is, there is always a connection, but it does not go further.

Li Lanzhi was afraid of missing this golden beetle son-in-law, and secretly asked Xiao Lin, how are the two of them? Xiao Lin told the truth - Senior Sister Qiao Lu is good at everything, but she is a little difficult to approach, so he is not sure, whether he wants to go further?

Qiao Lu is good to everyone and keeps her distance from everyone...... Li Lanzhi is very aware of this sense of alienation, but she can't change it for her. After all, her nature is difficult to change, and she has been hurt so much, it is difficult to talk to others about her heart and lungs.

As for outsiders, she only trusted Xu Wei with all her heart, but she was let down by that kid...... Alas, in the past few years, Li Lanzhi still hates him, and he delayed Qiao Luquan.

She worries about these things every day, but her husband doesn't care at all. Li Lanzhi got angry several times, but Lao Qiao said: "If fate is not enough, it's useless for you to worry about her! The children's ideas are big, so we don't need to make up their minds for them." ”

Qiao Jianjun is self-aware, but some people will still confide in him when they have an idea. For example, on the fourth day of junior high school, my sister-in-law came to the store for dinner. He said that after he finished selecting the site, as long as the Spring Festival holiday was over, he would submit an application for land use. According to his previous experience, this process will not be too difficult, and he also has to prepare for the follow-up construction procedures, so this Spring Festival is very busy.

Old Qiao smiled: "You are busy, you are busy making a lot of money." If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me. ”

"Alas, sometimes hectic and busy, when a little bit of leisure, he will be cranky. ”

"Your career is so successful, what are you thinking?"

"Hey, who knows, when you don't have money, you just think about making money, and when you make money, you think about more things. The sister-in-law drank all the wonton soup, as if he had drunk wine, and was full of pride: "Let's do it! Build a hotel first, then build a shopping mall!"

"Yi Zhi, you are doing a big business, and I don't understand what you told me. However, I, who is a big brother, still advise you to take it easy. Health is one thing, and so much money you put into it is also one thing. ”

Later, Lao Qiao thought about it, at that time, his brother-in-law was a little tired, but he was still in high spirits, laughed twice, said thank you, and left. Old Qiao thought, he is still nosy, people are doing big things, he can't understand what he is doing, what are you pointing at?

On the eve of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Shu suddenly came to visit Qiao's house. Qiao Jianjun was overjoyed and entertained him well. During the meal, he learned that Yang Shu did not simply come to see him, he planned to take the civil service examination in Hong Kong City, and first came to find out the news from his seniors.

Qiao Jianjun was slightly disappointed - or rather, it should be lost. Yang Shu was so alert, he was very good at comforting Old Qiao: "Uncle Qiao, don't I want to stay in Hong Kong City for a long time? If I can stay here, I can come to see you often." Otherwise, how difficult would it be to come here?"

"You kid, you can talk!"

Old Qiao scolded him with a smile and asked him about his life over the years. Poplar said everything was fine and had a girlfriend. "Uncle Qiao, if I can get into the interview, I'll bring her with me next time. ”

"Good, good. You are a top student of Peking University, you can succeed anywhere in the exam, and it is too condescending to be admitted to Hong Kong City. ”

"I like the port city very much, and the development momentum of the port city in the past two years has been very good. At first, I wanted to take the entrance examination for the foreign affairs office of the capital, but later I took the examination for the Hong Kong City Investment Promotion Bureau...... I'm just looking for a place where I can make a difference!"

Poplar clenched his cup, his eyes revealing a deep certainty. Qiao Jianjun still thinks that talents like him should stay in Beijing, but then he thinks about it, he is a minor language, and there are not many positions to choose from. He is such a smart person, he must have done a thorough investigation to make such a decision, a decision that is most beneficial to him.

During the time when he worked in the wonton restaurant, he experienced the rejection of local students in No. 2 Middle School, and also blocked those ups and downs for the Qiao family...... Old Qiao has always felt that he is not simple, but that kind of is not simple, and it makes him a little afraid-

This child will certainly not live under people all the time, his heart is very ambitious, and his ambition is great.

Not only does he feel the same way, but Xu Na, who is from the same school as him, also feels the same way. Most of the students in the second middle school of P University are very close (there are few people anyway), but they can't get close to the poplar tree, and over time, everyone is used to it, and the party no longer calls him.

Xu Na pondered: "Maybe in his opinion, we people ...... They're all kids!"
