Chapter 310: Freedom
"Yes, a family of eight, on my own. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In Lu Ran's opinion, this is by no means an easy task, it should be said that in the eyes of most people, it is an easy task.
Even though Mr. Leung's income may be large enough to support his family, his mental condition does not seem to be easy.
"Can you be more specific?" Lu Ran asked.
"Hmm...... Specifically, where do you start? Mr. Liang remembered something and sighed lightly, "When my wife and I first got married, the conditions in her family were good, and I was considered to be a high climber.
I worked very hard to give my wife a better life and to prove my abilities to her family.
My work was recognized by my superiors, and I was promoted faster than my colleagues in those years.
Finally, I climbed up to the management level, which is more or less an executive of the company.
I had a car, a house, a loan, and I bought it.
The two old people are urging to hold their grandchildren, and we gave birth smoothly in the first two years, but the first child gave birth to a girl.
After his wife gave birth to her first child and returned to the company where she used to work, her place had already been replaced.
She still wanted to find a job again, so I advised her to simply stay at home and take care of the children, so that she didn't have to worry about it two miles away, and the family was still looking forward to us having another one.
She couldn't resist me, so she agreed.
As a result, the expenses have become a little bigger, and my burden has become heavier, which is considered stable. ”
Judging from Mr. Liang's description, on the whole, his life can be said to be relatively complete.
However, Lu Ran heard some doubts from his words.
First of all, it is still the question just now, what is his economic income compared to his expenses, to put it bluntly, how big is his ability to make money.
He said that he is in the top management of the company, and the salary of a manager is related to the scale and efficiency of the whole company, and there is a big difference between different companies.
He just described that he bought a house with a loan, and he has not yet paid off the money.
It sounds like his living conditions are well-off, but maybe he is not rich.
And out of the idea of making it easier for his wife, he has asked his wife to leave his job at home, and the old people in the family may no longer work, and now the situation has become that he supports all the expenses of the family alone.
On the surface, his ability was enough to support these expenses, however, Lu Ran felt that he was like a rope that had been tightened.
Those expenses proved his ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also consumed his ability.
Pull his ability like a rubber band from both ends until it tightens more and more and loses its elasticity.
In Lu Ran's opinion, once another pull is applied to this tight rope, it is very likely to break.
However, Mr. Leung has always stressed that there is no problem with his work.
"But I've been in a bit of trouble lately. ”
Lu Ran was thinking about it, when Mr. Liang suddenly said this.
"What's the trouble?"
"One year my father-in-law suffered a stroke and fell and was hospitalized in the hospital.
In this way, he always said pessimistically that maybe he couldn't see the birth of the second doll.
Our husband and wife summed it up, and while we were young, we gave birth to another one.
The old man was happy.
However, the expenses at both ends have also increased.
I...... I don't have anything to be dissatisfied with, except that when I come home occasionally, I see my wife tired of coping with two children, and I can only help myself.
There was a lot less happiness in her eyes.
In the past, neither she nor I looked at each other like this.
What did I do to make her lose these joys?"
"Do you think you've made her unhappy?"
"I ...... There used to be happy times, but now, I don't have that much time to feel happy or unhappy. ”
"You're busy at work right now, maybe you'll be better off after this time, and you'll have more time to spend with your family?"
Lu Ran tried to guide Mr. Liang to think on the positive side.
"Hey......" Mr. Liang let out another long sigh, "I hope." ”
There was a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his tone.
This seems to be a slight departure from his previous statement that he was sure that there was no problem with his work.
"Hopefully, what do you say? ”
"This year, there will be a new change in my career. There are some changes in the company, there is a reorganization of personnel, and I can choose to stay, but ...... You can also choose to leave. ”
"Choosing to leave?"
"Hmm. I thought about building my own team, but I didn't have a chance, and now the time is ripe, but, you know, there's a risk. ”
Lu Ran understood.
Even if Mr. Liang did not explain what he meant by risk, Lu Ran could understand.
Mr. Liang is in the position of an executive in the company, and although the original treatment and remuneration are not enough to make him completely free of the pressure of life, but they are still stable in all aspects, just like the rope that is tightened, although it is tight, the tenacity of the rope is enough to withstand such a pull.
Now we are facing some changes.
How to deal with yourself, or take this opportunity to seek the unfinished pursuit in your heart.
For him, this question is no longer just a career choice.
It's a common choice about career, family, and loved ones.
Will he be able to give up a steady income and invest in a fresh start, and to some extent gamble on the supply of this family of eight?
Today's life is his own choice, and it is his confident choice of his own abilities as always, however, when he carries the burden on his shoulders one by one, it is more difficult to let go of any of them.
It is good for a person to have requirements for himself, but because of this demand, he fills up his life completely, and does not allow himself to make any mistakes, or even lose his freedom because of this, so how can he make himself happy from this life?
This may also be the problem that Mr. Liang will inevitably face at his age.
There is an old one on the top, and a small one on the bottom.
I want to be free, but I can't move.
Immovable ......
Lu Ran suddenly remembered Mr. Liang's previous description of that dream, and there was a word that appeared frequently, that is, "unable to move".
Lu Ran recalled the "disappearance" experience that Mr. Liang said from beginning to end.
In his heart, there was an inference.
This inference gave him a more thorough understanding of Mr. Liang's absurd encounter.
