Chapter 38, Cherish Home and Country
Li He was beaten, but his words worked after all, and his father Li Jie finally heard his words in his heart. He just didn't understand why Li He specifically mentioned his little brother Wu Yanzhuo, who had been a little depressed recently, as if Li He was more optimistic about Wu Yanzhuo than Gu Wei'an, who was now in full swing in the criminal police detachment.
It was difficult for Li Jie to say to himself that this was just a child's nonsense, because Li He's words really made him think a lot. Especially the metaphor of Xiao Feng and Wei Xiaobao's Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, as well as the remarks that "Journey to the West" is a workplace novel, Li Jie himself also likes to read Jin Yong's novels very much, but when he reads it, he just feels enjoyable, but he didn't expect Li He to pull out so many truths from it, and they are all very real truths.
Although Li He's words about "Journey to the West" are old many years later, in 98, reading "Journey to the West" like this is still very shocking.
For his son, Li Jie really can't understand it.
On his 16th birthday, Li He and his father chatted heartily for a whole morning.
Fortunately, Li Jie doesn't have enough control of Li He's state of mind on weekdays, otherwise he will find a lot of unexplained loopholes because of the difference between Li He and the two people, you must know that he is a veteran investigator of the Criminal Police Detachment of Faith City, and he is the best at reasoning through details. If you change a person, you will find that there is a cat in it, but it is dark under the light for his son, and he only feels that his son is different from the past, a bit of a demon, especially what "the prescribed immortal is brought to the specified place to continue to cultivate", who taught him this?
Li Jie relied on his intuition to think that there was something wrong with his son, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. He didn't dig into it, because he felt that his son's change was changing in a good direction after all, and this kid could say so much truth, and his own future must not be too worrying about his father. is that these remarks are good or thoughtful, in Li Jie's opinion, they are too utilitarian and a little slippery, and they are not what he likes. He doesn't really want his son to be a big hero like Xiao Feng, but don't be a scoundrel like Wei Xiaobao, right?
But so what? Even his son has seen so many problems, Li Jie knows that he really can't do his own thing like in the past, when he is alone, he is called chic, and if he has a family and a room, he still does his own thing, and he is irresponsible.
For Li He, this long talk is still very rewarding, at least Li Jie has always felt that Li He is a stinky fart child who can't even fight, but now he feels that he has really grown up, and even the father and son can communicate some issues equally. This is very important to Li He, if his father always thinks that he is a little child, then a lot of the information he brought back from his rebirth will not be used by his father.
Regarding Li He's preparation to switch from science to liberal arts in his third year of high school, Li Jie is now in favor of it with both hands. In the 80s and early 90s, people's slogan was "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world", and the atmosphere of emphasizing science and ignoring literature was very common, and even after the new century, it was the applied practical disciplines that were more valued, while the basic disciplines of literature, history and philosophy were generally considered useless, and they were the most useless and useless.
But Li Jie saw the essence of the view of "literature is human studies" in his son, and felt that the set of truths that Li He told him, if he could apply what he had learned, he would have a very good foundation in science, and finally open up the second line of arts and sciences and become a ...... The Demon King of the Mixed World, that's just around the corner.
And Li He's expectation of his father about the "Demon King of the Mixed World" is also drunk, this is his father...... What kind of realm is this? That is, the so-called marrying Bai Fumei, becoming a CEO, and walking to the pinnacle of life is not enough, not only to achieve fame, wealth and status, but also to be relaxed and freehand, enjoy life, willful and free, only such a realm can be worthy of Dad's so-called "demon king of the mixed world". But such a goal, to be honest, Li He doesn't know if he can achieve it even if he is reborn again. It's not that there is no confidence, but this world is a relative world, what you gain is often what you lose, you want to grasp everything in your hands, and rebirth is not omnipotent.
However, to seize this life all over again and try everything as much as possible, Li He feels that it is feasible.
Li He said: "Dad, I want to be admitted to a comprehensive university in liberal arts, and I don't necessarily have to go to a first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but also the provincial city of Everbright, which is also a national focus." The important thing is that Everbright has always been known as a beautiful woman, and when she accidentally bumped into a sister while walking, other schools are all class flowers. I heard that Everbright has a saying called 'Everbright has no school flower', that is, because there are too many beautiful women, no one obeys anyone, so there is no recognized school flower. I'm going to be admitted to such a school, and I'll find you a daughter-in-law at the school flower level. ”
Li Jie nodded and said, "I agree, but my daughter-in-law doesn't necessarily have to be a school girl." Your mother is a school flower, but she is not as good as a pure mother in life. ”
Li He said: "Then find a few more to prepare, you and my mother and Aunt Ya will watch, who is virtuous and picks whom." If you're all satisfied, that's all right......"
Li Jie glanced at his son and gave a thumbs up, this cliff is every man's ideal, it depends on whether you dare to think about it or not.
Li He laughed, this means that Teacher Mia is not at home, otherwise Dad would have to pretend to beat him with righteous words. Then Li He said: "No matter what university I go to, what major I study, I have to start my own business during my schooling." Note that I'm not talking about work-study, I'm going to start my own business, I want to make money, make a lot of money, and help my mother realize her life dreams. ”
Li Jie has no concept of entrepreneurship and making money, but he still nodded and said: "This is okay, let me change to a big house first when I have money, your sister has grown up, and she always lives on the balcony outside our bedroom." In addition, buy me a top-of-the-line Passat, the Santana in our group will fall apart if he really wants to chase the suspect. ”
Li He said disdainfully: "Dad, that's all you have to offer, okay, I'll work hard to give your group, no, donate 20 top-of-the-line Passats to your detachment, and give you a separate Lamborghini painted police car, and you can chase the fugitives as much as you like." ”
Li Jie laughed, the picture of chasing the fugitive in a Lamborghini police car is not too beautiful, and then he said with a straight face: "I agree with you if you want to make money, but there is one thing, you know what your father does, if you are a traitor, I will throw you into the number with my own hands." ”
Li He stared at his father's eyes and said, "Dad, don't be too surprised if what I said comes true." ”
Li Jie nodded, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely: "There is really a day when I leave a little bit of family and country and a little responsibility in my mind." ”
Li He was stunned for a moment, whether it was in his previous life or now, Li He always felt that his father was not very good, but when his father told him to keep a little bit of the words family and country in his mind, why didn't he feel that his father was poor and hypocritical at all? Li He didn't have such feelings as his father, but suddenly, he was also in awe of his father.
Li He smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Dad, don't you think what I think is unrealistic?"
Li Jie took a deep puff of his cigarette, spit it out gently, and asked rhetorically: "Don't you think it was unrealistic when I just talked about my family and country?"
Li He smiled, shook his head and said, "I really don't think it's unrealistic. ”
Li Jie also smiled and said, "At your age, no matter how whimsical you are, you are justifiable." In any case, as long as people have ideals, it is always possible, and of course, I am very pleased that you can think about whether it is unrealistic. Let's talk about something practical first, how to say it today is also your birthday, what gift do you want? Don't deal with me with your mother, what kind of discount, the discount is to give you ten yuan to eat mutton powder yourself. ”
"Then," Li He thought for a moment and said, "you can buy a guitar." ”
Li Jie said: "I don't understand this, how much does it cost?"
Li He didn't know how much it cost to buy a guitar, and he didn't have a score for musical instruments, like his sister learning violin, the price of the violin ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions.
Li Jie thought for a while and said, "That's it, the pure violin cost 2,000 yuan, and I'll give you 2,000 yuan to buy a guitar, and that's all I have for my little vault." ”
Li He smiled and said, "That's not necessary, give me 1,000, and leave 1,000 for you to buy cigarettes to smoke." ”
Li Jie glared at his son, and scolded and said stinky boy, I thought you would refuse, I just said it casually, you can really do it. Scolding and scolding, he still took the money out of his pocket. Li He saw through at a glance that he had been prepared, what a private small treasury, it was obvious that Teacher Mia left the money to him and deliberately asked him to say so. Their family is also a working family, and in 98 years, they had to take out 2,000 yuan to buy birthday gifts for their children, and the cliff was gritting its teeth fiercely, so it really couldn't be refused, and if you refused, you would be divided. It is estimated that Li He also saved money to buy a bicycle by himself, which made Teacher Mia feel that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a stepmother, and 16 years old was also a special birthday, so she gritted her teeth and took 2,000 yuan out to ask Li Jie to buy a gift for her son.
However, Li He knew that the expenses of their two children were not small, and the income was so small, so his father said that Teacher Mia was better than his own mother Qiao Chu, which Li He had to admit.
Li Jie also wants to take some more money for Li He to invite his classmates to celebrate his birthday with him in the afternoon, this time it is estimated that it is really his private money, you can see from his face and eyes, Li He pushed his father's hand back empathetically, Li Jie hypocritically insisted for a while and happily took it back. Li He was secretly proud while despising his father, in fact, he still had some money left from gambling that day, so he couldn't report it truthfully.
