Liu laughed and didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it.

"In the past, when the old commander Zhuang was still in Southern Province, I worked under him for a period of time, he was my old leader, and I had an old friendship with the Zhuang family, and I grew up watching the army. Teacher Zhao didn't hide it, "This kid is down-to-earth and calm, responsible, and a good man, I have seen so many young offspring, and there are few who can compare to him, and Mr. Liu really took great pains to choose this marriage for you." ”

"Yes, my grandfather has been worrying about me all the time, Zhuang Lijun is so good, he is really wronged. Liu sighed with emotion, "Mr. Zhao, don't be in a hurry to deny it, before you met me, I heard that he had such a marriage contract, I must feel sorry for him, right?"

Teacher Zhao laughed dryly, "At that time, I didn't know about you, it was normal to have misunderstandings, after all, no one would have thought that Mr. Liu could cultivate a child like you, it is good for you to marry into the banker's family, leave here, go to the capital to see more of the world, learn more things, and the future is limitless." ”

"You don't have to rely on the dealer to leave here and go to the capital. She held the teapot casually, looking indifferent, but with a sense of certainty.

Teacher Zhao didn't know where she got her confidence, "Oh, do you have any other way to go to the capital? You have even been robbed of your qualification to go to university, you don't think that you will be able to go to the commune next and soon be able to go to the county seat and then the provincial capital...... No matter how smart you are, it's not that simple. ”

"Who knows, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future, just like you never thought that you would spend a lot of time on research in the past, you may miss the leisure time you have now in a few years. Liu Hao smiled faintly and turned the topic back to Mr. Zhao.

Teacher Zhao was countered by her again, and her words made him feel an indescribable melancholy in his heart, but his mood seemed to be inexplicably much lighter.

Even he couldn't say why he felt this way, maybe he was really unwilling to waste his life on this kind of marginal research, maybe he felt that even if he was seen through by this little village girl, it would be okay, he needed someone to confide in his resentment.

Teacher Zhao sighed, "I wanted to do more, but in the end, I ended up in this field, researching this topic with no future at all, and those children followed me in vain." ”

"How could it be a waste of time?" Liu Hao heard his deeply suppressed dissatisfaction, shook his head and smiled, "You have been in our southern province for so many years, how long has it been since such a production team has gone through one commune after another? If it weren't for your research on this topic, how could you know so many grassroots social conditions and public opinions? You really want to do something practical for us, it's not enough to just sit in the room and imagine it out of thin air, you have to go down step by step." Accumulate steadily, and what you pay now is to lay the foundation for the future. ”

Teacher Zhao was dumbfounded, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he was actually educated by a teenage girl? This child's age is not as long as his own working experience!

"I don't believe that Old Man Liu can teach a ghost elf like you!" Teacher Zhao was speechless, with such living conditions in the countryside, with such an old man as Old Man Liu who has little culture, can he really teach such a child?

Liu laughed well, "Teacher Zhao, don't underestimate my grandfather, he is a well-known smart person." ”

"Then your father is still an only son, why can't he teach it?" Teacher Zhao made it clear that he didn't believe it.

"Talent is limited, don't you know that there is a kind of person in the world, she is a genius, she learns everything faster than people, and thinks deeper and farther than ordinary people, people like me, I can only thank God for being willing to reward me for eating, you don't have to envy ...... too much"

"You girl, you are so thick-skinned!" Teacher Zhao stroked his palms and laughed, feeling that this girl was really amazing, he had never seen anyone boast about himself like this.

This is called self-knowledge. ”

"Who did you dare to say? Who just said that he wasn't doing research?"

"I said it," she nodded solemnly, "those who do research must endure loneliness, withstand temptation, have a heart like water, and only read the books of sages, I can't do it, my temperament is the most unsitable, and the red dust is the place I yearn for." ”

"Fortunately, Zhang Liang knows the goods and digs you to work in the commune, you cherish the opportunity and don't be easily buried. "Mr. Zhao has never seen such a little girl full of aura in his life, if he was still in the seat, he would have found a way to poach her a long time ago, and it would not be Zhang Liang's turn to be a little child, it's a pity.

"I will, after all, the commune is on a level higher than the production team, and the contact is also wider, some of the production teams of our Jinhua Commune are backers, and some are facing the sea, the situation is different, I don't want to be a frog at the bottom of the well, I want to see more and listen more." She said sincerely.

"Actually, when you go to the commune, it's just a small paperwork, what role can it play?" Teacher Zhao just asked her to cherish the opportunity, and now she is pouring cold water on her, in fact, it is not aimed at her, although this is asking her, it is more like asking yourself, he has fallen into today's field, a down-and-out poor scholar, what is the use of the society?

"Broaden my horizons, there will definitely be a broader stage waiting for me in the future, I have to be prepared. She grinned and said, "Isn't that what you just said?"

"You're so confident and optimistic. Mr. Zhao didn't know what to say, he has always boasted of being determined, but the ups and downs over the years still inevitably made him feel self-pitying.

"It's Mr. Zhao, you are too pessimistic, the ups and downs of life are inevitable, how can you lose your original intention because of a moment of frustration?

Teacher Zhao was blocked by her words again, can this girl read minds?

"Don't forget your original intention and keep going!" Liu smiled and raised his glass to him.

He read a trace of loneliness in her eyes, it was a kind of loss similar to him, with unwillingness and helplessness to reality, but she had a little more vigor and courage to make a comeback than him.

He was stunned, this little girl is not the fearless optimism of the ignorant, she is more transparent than anyone else, but she is a nineteen-year-old girl, her life has just begun, how can she really understand the feeling of falling from a height.
