Chapter 2: Faith
The middle-aged man who slipped away, Qi Zhenghai, is the only son of the old man and an ordinary magazine editor.
The old man looked at Qi Zhenghai who rushed out of the gate in a panic, and helplessly spread his hands at Xia Lan, and said to himself: "I want me Qi Qingyun to educate people all my life, I don't know how many crooked melons, cracked dates, and rotten trees have been cultivated into pillars, but the trees I planted, hehe, have become ...... in the end I'm really ashamed of my immortal board. ”
Looking back on the long river of history, how many powerful people have a set of statements about the emperor, the big education bureau, and others, but they are helpless in the face of the education of their own children.
In mid-July, Paradise City was enveloped in persistent heat, and most people had to hide in their homes to blow air conditioners.
It was late afternoon, when the heat was caressed by a slight breeze and quietly subsided a little, and the people hiding in the house rushed out of the house, to the bar, to the square, to the river.
People who have been at home for a day need to release their depressed mood to the fullest.
The old man Qi Qingyun's family, in their own small courtyard, was cooking wine with warm dishes, and they were all sweating profusely, but everyone's faces were filled with unconcealable happiness and pride.
Just yesterday, Qi Qingyun's only grandson, Qi Mozi, got the admission letter of Shangjing University in Shangjing City with the best results in the liberal arts of the Great Heavenly Kingdom this year.
There is no such thing as Seokyo University, the best university in the Great Heavenly Kingdom.
When Mr. Qi learned that his grandson had been admitted to Beijing University, he was excited and sleepless all night.
For more than half a year, the old man has been worried about his son and daughter-in-law, and he can't sleep at night because he can't eat or eat, and the whole person is anxious and out of phase.
Finally, the well-behaved and sensible grandson lived up to the expectations of his family and won the top score in the liberal arts of the Great Heavenly Kingdom in this year's college entrance examination. This is a great happy event, and the old Qi family should definitely celebrate.
The ancients often said that the four great blessings in life are: a long drought and nectar, meeting old acquaintances in other places, spending candles in the cave room, and when the gold list is inscribed, one of them must be celebrated.
At the wine table, Old Man Qi was happy, and while he was drinking, he patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "Mozi, you are about to go to the highest university in the Great Heavenly Kingdom to study, and grandpa will give you a few words." ”
Mozi is sixteen years old this year, handsome and chic, with clear eyebrows, fair skin, and a tall figure. I usually like to dress up as an ancient.
"What's the word, grandpa?" Mozi asked, putting down the chopsticks in his hand and habitually brushing the hair behind his ear.
"Indifferent and bright, fat and mourning. The old man squinted his eyes while holding his glass.
Mozi glanced at his old father Qi Zhenghai, and said meaningfully: "Dad, do you know the true meaning of these words?"
Xia Lan took over the conversation: "Good son, if your father understood the meaning of these words, our family would not be what it is now." ”
"What's the matter, what's our family like? You don't have to stir up trouble today!" Qi Zhenghai, who was immersed in eating vegetables, glared at Xia Lan viciously, looked at Mozi again, and said with a fierce expression.
"Dad, pay attention to the tone, this is at home!" Mozi raised his wine glass and said to Xia Lan: "Mom, you have worked hard all these years, I toast you with a glass of wine." ”
Because of love, Xia Lan resolutely married Qi Zhenghai despite the opposition of her family.
In the first two years of their marriage, the two were under the moon, by the riverside in the park, on the mountain path, and at the gathering of friends, and they really left their proud romantic love everywhere.
Since having Mozi, I don't know when the two of them seem to be as honest as they were when they first got married, and occasionally they will quarrel a few words.
At first, Xia Lan threw herself on her son, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong. But as his son grew up and had more time for himself, he found that his husband, who loved him deeply, became so strange. Occasionally, when I come home, I also look reluctant and cold.
Until this spring, Xia Lan saw that her husband did not come home for ten days and a half months, so she became suspicious. After quietly asking someone to investigate, it was learned that Qi Zhenghai was renting a house outside. What's even more infuriating is that when Xia Lan found Qi Zhenghai's rental house, she was discovering that her good husband was crying wolf in the bed with a smart rubber woman in her arms.
At that moment, Xia Lan was stunned, her husband didn't come home, she thought she was raising a lover outside behind her back. Who knows, this perverted husband of mine is playing with a cold fake woman, and he is happy to be obsessed with it.
Looking at her son's sincere eyes, the fog in Xia Lan's beautiful eyes gradually rose, and tears rippled.
Xia Lan picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, choked up, and said, "Mozi, mother is not hard. I just hope that when you grow up, you will not grovel in front of others for pleasure, and you will not deviate from the original feelings and beliefs of being a human being. ”
Mozi also knows a little about his parents. But this sensible child buried too much pain in his heart. In order to save his father and save the family, Mozi didn't say anything, but quietly influenced his family with his words and deeds, showing the maturity and calmness unique to his peers.
"Grandpa, you have broken your heart for this family all these years, and I salute my grandfather for this glass of wine. Mozi took a sip gently, put down the wine glass, wiped his grandfather's white hair distressedly, and said in a tough tone: "I, Qi Mozi, swear: In this life, I must be a person with a bright heart, broad feelings, faith, benevolence and righteousness, knowledge of grievances, and not groveling for the greed for glory and wealth." ”
The old man looked at the handsome and smart grandson, glanced at the wife beside him, swept away the haze of more than half a year on his face, and smiled knowingly.
The old man took a drink from his wine glass, and said proudly: "It is indeed not easy for human beings to develop to this point today. Everyone has clothes to wear, a house to live in, money to spend, and has already realized the dream of the morning and evening, and everything is the same. It is said that it is time to slow down, cultivate one's self-cultivation, and repay nature. However, this greedy and arrogant Sima Lao'er for his own selfish desires is now colluding with aliens, and in the name of pursuing the ultimate in science and technology, to develop outer space, and to better serve mankind. Hehe, that's pure. ”
The old man poured another glass of wine when he said that he was excited, and continued: "Look, look, what else is there for mankind today? Even the most basic values, outlook on life, world view are gone, faith is gone...... Look, look, people nowadays are like walking corpses, with no dreams, no bottom line, no pursuits, even human feelings, family and friendship, and love are fake, is this the result of human development?"
The old man said this, waved his hand, and said as if to himself: "That's it, I can't tell whether this society has progressed or regressed, hehe! Drink, drink......
Mozi understands his grandfather's feelings, but now he can't do anything, so he can only complete his studies quietly.
Mozi secretly made up his mind that when he had the ability, he would return a gorgeous sky to mankind, so that everyone could live and work in a state of ideals and pursuits, that is, to live with interest and faith.
