Xiao Na tossed and turned, and her brain cells were extremely excited.

Over the past 21 years, she has become accustomed to the planning and arrangement given to her by her parents. Now, it's risky to make your own choice and find a way to convince your family to agree with your choice. Xiao Songna, she is half sure that she can persuade him to support herself, but for her parents, she thinks that there is no one percent possibility! If her parents don't agree, what should she do? It is impossible to have a cold war with her parents like Xiao Song, her parents are also old and can't withstand such a toss, if there is another accident, then she Xiao Na will not become a sinner?

She thought about these questions over and over again all night, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that she fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up in the morning, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and there was no one at home.

When washing, Xiao Na looked at herself in the mirror very seriously, she also wanted to know the real heart hidden under this beautiful appearance, and she even rehearsed the plan she had thought of last night. Then she drank a bowl of rice porridge with kimchi, the porridge was very thick, the kind she had liked since she was a child. There is also kimchi, her favorite pickled carrot cut into small pieces, mixed with chili red oil and a little monosodium glutamate, it is a very authentic taste, and she never gets tired of eating it. Although several of them were not born in SC, after all, they grew up in SC, and they have not been afraid of spicy since they were children, and they have long been assimilated into SC people.

Today is Sunday, Mom and Dad should get up early to exercise, Dad likes Tai Chi, Mom likes jogging and dancing, the two meet at ten o'clock and go to the market to buy groceries together. When I got home, my father read the newspaper, and my mother began to have lunch. Xiao Na sometimes envies her parents' stable and quiet life, and even hopes that she can do this when she is old in the future, she really can't bear to destroy this peace, especially her father, who finally let go of Xiao Song's affairs and didn't ask. Every time she thinks of this, Shawna will always waver a little, and want to go back to the old traditional saying: a thousand roads at night, and the same road during the day.

The sun is early and hot in July, the wind is quiet, and the leaves outside the living room window are not moving. There are several cicadas in the trees that are chirping endlessly, tirelessly: know -------------- know -------------, because they are so close, it seems that they are noisy in their ears so that people will only be inexplicably irritable, and the others do not know anything.

Xiao Na's eyes pierced through the thick foliage, trying to find the location of these guys, and she felt the urge to blast them away. She suddenly remembered the biology class in junior high school, these guys had been underground for several years, and they had only been able to scream so happily in the sun for two months, and they were eaten by birds before they could squeak when they climbed the trees, and the lucky ones didn't live for a few more days and then died in the ground. Thinking about it, these cicadas are really not easy, so Xiao Na's mood is relaxed and her mentality is much more balanced.

She decided to go to Xiao Song.

Change your clothes and tie your hair into a ponytail. I went downstairs, got on my bike, and like a gust of wind, I decided to go straight to the photo studio.

In the distance, she saw the words "natural years", and the words sparkled in the oblique rays of the sun.

There are customers in the store, and Xiao Song is busy taking standard photos. Two people, ten minutes is fine. There should be more business on Sunday today, Xiao Na thought to herself.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Song finished dealing with it, he was very professional, and his movements were especially sharp. After seeing Xiao Na coming, he said to Xiao Na: "Help me divide the photos, which were developed last night, and write the name on the paper pocket." ”

"Long-winded, I know how to do it, and it's not like I haven't done it. Xiao Na saw a lot of photos on the table, "Brother, business is not bad during this time, shouldn't you also pay me a salary, I am always doing handymen for you." ”

"You still need a salary? It's really a face longer than a leg------"

"How can this be, besides, I just gave you a big gift yesterday. ”

"Okay, now let's talk about the big gift. Figured it out last night?"

"Well, didn't I come to ask you for help?"

Xiao Song moved a chair over and sat down next to Xiao Na, "Say, what's going on?"

"Let's go to the river opposite, and it's cooler under the willows. With that, Xiao Na picked up her chair and walked out the door.

Ten meters on the opposite side is the river dam.

On both sides of the river, every five meters away, there is a green willow tree, with thick branches, and the willow branches hang low down the river, in the middle of summer, like a green avenue, sheltering the people who enjoy the shade under the trees. Especially in the evening, walking, dancing, practicing Tai Chi, no matter the young and old, men and women of all kinds, etc., this is undoubtedly one of the most lively areas in Dujiangyan. It is also one of the most popular places for cicadas, because the juice of the willow tree is the favorite delicacy of the cicadas, so the cicadas here have also become a sight. Outsiders who have just arrived in Dujiangyan may be annoyed, but the ears of the locals have already formed a habit after years of tempering, and if there is no cicada song one after another, there will be a little discomfort. At this time, it was noon, accompanied by the roaring river, the cicadas were happily playing the Minjiang March, quiet, and there was not even a little gap here at this time.

The two sat down facing each other. Xiao Na continued the topic and said: "This is a long story, you promise to be patient, and also, don't get angry. ”

"Don't be angry, it seems that the situation is a bit serious, you won't sell yourself as a slave for a BP machine, right?" Xiao Song said in a slightly joking tone.

"Seriously, I'm not joking with you, this is related to your sister and my future life events. ”

"Life events! Are you really selling yourself into slavery?"

Xiao Na stopped what she was doing and began to plan and proceed step by step The rhetoric she had thought about all night last night, she had to keep the initiative and not let Xiao Song disrupt her rhythm.

"Brother, you used to go to CD a lot, do you think CD is good?"

"Of course it's better than Dujiangyan, do you still need to ask?"

"I think I've heard you say you want to go to CD development. ”

"How do you ask this? It's my business, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with yours?"

"It's okay, now that I'm asking, you just have to answer truthfully. ”

"How do you feel that you are interrogating me? Instead, in the opposite direction!" Xiao Song protested reluctantly.

"Didn't you always want to be a businessman in the art world?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"You like to do business?"

"Yes, otherwise what would you do when you open this store? Business is used to make money to support my family, art is to cultivate myself, I hope that I will be an artist in the field of business in the future, and I want to run the business like art, this is my biggest dream." Every time Xiao Song talked about this topic, he always looked pious and proud, and his expression was inviolable.

"I don't understand this, and only you understand your art. ”

"Girls, it's normal not to understand. ”

"Do you want to go to CD to do your art business. ”

"I used to want to go to the past, and I went to investigate it several times, but now is not the best time, my interest is mainly engaged in landscape art photography, CD is the plain, there are no mountains, there is no water, it can only be a cultural monument. Unlike Dujiangyan, it is very convenient for me to go to Aba and Ganzi, which is the paradise of photography. Also, commercial photography is not very mature now, it needs to be cultivated for a while, and now to go to CD, the cost will be too high, from a business point of view, the conditions are not mature, maybe it will be better in a few years, I will think about it then, anyway, not now. ”

"But......" Xiao Na still hesitated a little to say.

"But what?"

"But ......"

"Don't stutter like that, just say what you want. "Xiao Song is a typical acute child, and the name of a sabotage expert is not innocent.

"I want to go!" Xiao Na mustered up her courage and finally said these three heavy words under Xiao Song's stimulation.

"Do you want to go?" Xiao Song's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you go?"

"Yes, I want to go to the CD. ”

"No, just stay for a month, and you'll want to go to CD. Xiao Song looked at Xiao Na in disbelief and said.

Xiao Na took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, but before she could say anything, Xiao Song continued: "It's not easy for me to see, CD is good, people with ideas want to go, but you also know that Luoyang Mi is expensive, your current job is entrusted by your father to several people to let you in, do you want to transfer to the CD bank? According to your current qualifications, just a team leader who has just worked for a year, it is unlikely!" As far as I know, my parents don't have CD friends, they don't have anything to do with it, they only have so many friends who are engaged in technology in their lives, and you're a little embarrassed for them------"

"I didn't say I wanted to go to the CD bank!" Xiao Na was reversed by Xiao Song's long sentence.

"Then what are you doing on CD?" Xiao Song didn't understand.

"Do ------ life ------ meaning------" Xiao Na said very slowly and clearly, these words are now like a thousand pounds of burden, after unloading it, I feel relaxed, as if there is no burden anymore.

"Doing business?" Xiao Song took a few seconds before he suddenly reacted, this curve was indeed sudden, and then the reaction was as Xiao Na expected, Xiao Song's voice suddenly raised an octave, "What kind of business do you do?"

"Keep your voice down, don't be angry as you just said. Xiao Na looked at Xiao Song with a smile.

"How can you not be angry, you are a girl's ......" Xiao Song's tone was still very high.

Xiao Na interrupted and said in a very calm tone: "I am studying accounting, and the foundation is fine." ”

"Accounting is accounting, not business, you have to understand that. ”

"At least I'll settle the score, and others can't fool me. ”

"Forget it, according to your logic, anyone who is an accountant can be the boss? You don't do such a good job now, and you have a good future, and the leader also attaches importance to it, what kind of business do you go to do? It's crazy! It's crazy! Don't toss your parents, it's hard enough to have me toss them. Okay, don't block them anymore, they won't agree!" Xiao Song became emotional, his speech quickened, and his hair stood on end.

Xiao Na had to calm down, wait for Xiao Song's mood to calm down, and then continued: "You are my brother, and you are also a businessman now, so I will ask for your opinion first, as long as you support, we will discuss with my parents." ”

"I don't agree, I resolutely disagree, how can you change your head when a girl goes to CD?" Xiao Song patted his head as he spoke, Xiao Na's idea was so sudden, he was not mentally prepared at all. He got up and prepared to leave, apparently not wanting to continue the conversation.

Xiao Na was silent for a few seconds, she rehearsed Xiao Song's various reactions last night, including this one. She reminded herself at any time that no matter how fierce Xiao Song's reaction was, she couldn't be in a hurry, she had to stay calm.

Xiao Na also stood up and pressed Xiao Song to the chair and sat down again. Then he said: "Brother, don't be angry, let's discuss it calmly, for your sister's future life." You are the person who loves me the most, and you are also the most reasonable person, as long as you are right, I will listen to you. ”

Xiao Song sat on the chair, looking at Xiao Na mumu, without words, he knew that as long as his sister made a soft move, he would have no rut, and he would never be angry again. Of course, he also knew that Xiao Na also knew his weakness.

"Brother, then you help me analyze and analyze, why can't I do business?" Xiao Na asked.

"Because you have a good job right now. As long as you have a breath left, the state will take care of you. ”

"No, there are two main contents of our study this time: one is to emancipate the mind, invigorate the economy, and encourage everyone to go to the sea and participate in business activities; and the other is to reform the system, and we must break the iron pot of rice, and we will never be able to go to the end in the future. ”

"It's a joke, it's okay to scare people, you're a bank. Xiao Song looked indifferent and disdainful when he saw through the three lives and three lives.

"It's not a joke, our leaders have started to have a meeting!"

"That's okay with you anyway, your business is good, and besides, the person your parents are looking for can be counted. ”

"But I've only been working for more than a year, and I already feel like a machine, repeating and repeating every day. ”

"Isn't that all work? A lot of people do. Me too, taking pictures every day. Work is simple repetition!"

"I see you're happy every day. ”

"Me, happy?"

"Yes, because you're doing what you love, you're happy. ”

Xiao Song was wondering if he was the kind of happiness that Xiao Na said, and he hadn't seriously thought about it all along. He takes landscape photos because he likes them, and he takes pictures of people to make a living.

"Brother, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to be the president of a branch at the age of forty. ”

"Girl, why do you have to think so much, why do you have to work so hard, it's easy to work and live a happy life, isn't it great?"

"I didn't think about it before, so I thought that I would be very happy like this, get married and have children according to my parents' plan, and this life will be like this, which is also good. ”

"It's good, I think it's good. ”

"If I hadn't gone to the CD this time------ Xiao Na said thoughtfully, suddenly reversed, "but I'll go sooner or later, sooner or later I'll find this contrast, and there is no harm without comparison!

Xiao Song is now starting to calm down, and he also wants to understand what happened to Xiao Na's CD line this time, and how there was such a big mutation. So, he began to listen to Xiao Na.

"Brother, we're all ZJ people, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't they all say that ZJ people are Jews in China? ”

"Not necessarily, aren't all parents engaged in technology?"

"Haven't you always wanted to, and you've always been in business?"

"No, I'm a man. Girl......" Xiao Song wanted to speak and stopped, he was still a little worried that it would hurt Xiao Na's self-esteem.

"Girls, girls, what's wrong with girls? Girls can't do business?" Xiao Na expressed disbelief, but she found that her emotions were a little excited, and her tone was high, so she immediately calmed down and continued, "In the end, it's not that you men look down on women, or you think that women can't do this or that, so you can only get married and have children, and then take care of the children, and then take care of the children's children, and then wait until you die of old age." Right, I'm not wrong, right?"

"Not exactly. Xiao Song said lightly.

"Why?"

"You still don't understand a lot of truths, and you only see the superficial appearance. ”

"Superficial?" Shawna was puzzled.

"Yes, you have to see the core essence through appearances. Do you know why men don't want women to work so hard? Because men don't want their loved ones to be too tired and let women earn money to support their families, they want their loved ones to have a simple job, and live happily without much pressure, which is the most important reason. As for dirty work, hard work, and tiring work, these are the things that men should do more, and men should earn money to support their families. This is a matter of course, and it has been like this for thousands of years. Do you want to find a man who is very poor in the future, and you need to earn your own money to support your family?"

Xiao Na stopped talking, she was thinking about what to say, Xiao Song's words were unplanned.

Xiao Song then continued: "Why did your parents ask someone to let you enter the bank with great difficulty, it is because they love you and hope that you will not be too tired in your future life, and you can be simple and happy. It's really good for girls. I don't agree with you going into business, and it's the same thing, you're my sister, and I don't want to see you work so hard in the future. ”

"Swallow, and her sister, they're doing just as well now. ”

"What you see now is only the surface, you don't see the other side of them that is not easy. ”

"I'm not afraid of hard work, and I'm not afraid of being tired. Xiao Na is very persistent, since she has decided, she must go on bravely.

"There's a lot of things you can't think of now, and you'll face them later. ”

"Anyway, I just don't want to live such a static life now, and I'm going to be unhappy. It's okay if there is no comparison, I don't know if I don't know, the problem is that now that I know, I will be even more unhappy!"

"Do you want to do business to make more money?" Xiao Song asked.

"?!------" Xiao Na muttered, she really hadn't thought about it.

"And what are you for?"

"Challenge, I want to prove that I can, just like you. ”

"But I'm just as helpless now, I have no ideals. So, you only see the surface, you won't see your brother and me, and you will cry secretly in the bed at night. ”

"Since I have decided to do it, I will definitely face it strongly. ”

"There is a more serious reality. ”

"How serious?"

"Let's assume that if you don't do well and come back in a few years, your current job will definitely not be kept, where can you find a better job?"

"I can do a good job, brother, Yanzi and they will help me, don't you still have you, you don't help me if I have a problem?"

"If you do it well, the problem is even worse!"

"It's even worse if you do it well! What kind of robber crooked theory are you?"

"Yes, if you do it well, your marriage will go wrong, and that's the most serious thing. I am a man, and from a man's point of view, no man wants to find a woman who is stronger than himself as his wife and find guilt for himself. Even if this man is a coward, he will only find a woman who is weaker than himself to be his wife. It doesn't matter if you women are happy or not, this is the reality. ”

"???" Xiao Na definitely didn't expect that there would be a problem at this level, she hadn't even thought about her boyfriend.

So, if you do well, your marriage won't necessarily be good. What will you choose, career or family?"

"This is a bit exaggerated, I think Yanzi and her sister are also very good. Shawna was skeptical.

"We all want you to be happy, not financially satisfied. ”

"It's still too far away, a lot of uncertainties, and besides, I'm sure I can handle it. ”

"I also hope that you can handle it, I am here today to help you analyze any situation you may encounter. ”

"I can't do nothing because I'm afraid of this and that, then I can't do anything in my life, what's the point of being a human being?"

Xiao Song looked at Xiao Na and didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

The wind blew, and Shawna's hair danced messily------

"Brother, I've been thinking about it for a long time. When I was on CD, I started to think, I really want to do business, you help me. Shawna broke the silence.

"So what do you want to do? Follow the swallows to make a costume?"

"No, I make communication products, telephones, BP machines. To open a store on Taisheng South Road, we have all gone to inspect it many times, and Sister Fang also invites you to take a look again, and have one more opinion. Really, this industry is very good, and it will definitely develop very quickly in the future, and it will be a good opportunity to enter now. "Shawna did her best to show her confidence.

"I know the industry, I've been there twice in April or May. ”

"Twice! You didn't say it. Shauna was surprised.

"I just wanted to buy a BP machine, just take a look at it by the way, your brother and I are also businessmen, we have to see what suitable business opportunities there are." But the BP machine is really too expensive, and I am still reluctant to buy it!"

"What do you think of the industry? I'm not wrong, right?"

"Who took you?"

"Sister Fang, that is, Sister Yanzi, she encouraged me to enter this industry, took me several times, gave me analysis, and taught me how to do it. She knows a lot. ”

"Then why didn't she do it?" Xiao Song felt strange, and Liang Xiaofang's figure immediately flashed in his mind.

"She said that she has no energy now, and she has to take care of the children and teach the swallows to make clothes, but she said that she can help me in the early stage until I can run my own business. ”

"This woman has a poisonous eye------," Xiao Song said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean...... , this industry can do it, right?" Xiao Na immediately understood what Xiao Song meant.

"Yes, as it stands, this is indeed an emerging industry, and the future will develop very quickly, and there are many opportunities. ”

"Then you're agreeing with me to do it. Shawna was excited.

"Your brother is a reasonable person, you are you, I can only give you advice, but I can't help you make decisions, and I don't have the right to stop you from doing anything, I just want you to live a simple and happy life. That's ------."

"You're still the best, support me in everything. Shawna smiled happily.

"Don't be too happy, even if I support you, there are still a lot of things?" Xiao Song then analyzed, "Mom and Dad, what do you say? You know my original situation, my dad is still not completely relieved, and they can't agree." ”

Xiao Na was silent with a solemn expression.

Just like Liang Xiaofang said, Xiao Song is also a businessman, and she will support her if the reason is reasonable, and she also knows that Xiao Song will support her sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time before she is stalked. But Mom and Dad, there's really no way to do it now.

"Do you have a solution?" asked Xiao Na unwillingly.

"No way. Xiao Song replied very simply, he really couldn't help it. After a few seconds, he continued, "Let's move on to the second question, what about the money? I don't have much savings, so I don't have much to give you." ”

"Regarding investment, Sister Fang said that she helped me, which is not very worrying. ”

"What kind of woman is this Liang Xiaofang?" Xiao Song became more and more confused, "Why is she so good to you? There must be an attempt, sooner or later!"

"Because the swallow has a good relationship with me. "Xiao Na is actually not sure why Liang Xiaofang is so good to herself now," she said, if I make a decision, we will discuss specific matters together, anyway, she said that she will support me. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you then. Xiao Song wanted to meet the woman Liang Xiaofang.

"Well, she said she wanted to see you too. ”

"She wants to see me?"

"Yes, we've been together this month, and every time we talk about you. ”

Xiao Na has received Xiao Song's greatest support now, and she should be very happy. But she still can't be happy, now the biggest obstacle is her parents, in the face of this level, she really can't think of a way, how to talk to her parents about this matter? Thinking about Xiao Song's original situation, it is also very scary now, not to mention that Xiao Na is still a girl, a quiet girl who has been very obedient to her parents for 21 years.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky------

It seems that the parents have a hard time getting through. It's impossible to ignore the feelings of their parents, and both of them are silent. In the end, Xiao Song said that the work of parents should be slowed down first, and then find a suitable opportunity to communicate later. Now, Xiao Song needs to adjust his work first, and he has decided to go to the CD next week with Xiao Na for an investigation. Then communicate with Liang Xiaofang to clarify whether it can be done.

Xiao Na looked at the Minjiang River beside her in a daze, the waves of the river roared thousands of miles away, but was forced to moor into a weir by the dam, and when it was quiet without a trace of wildness, she then opened the stream and went away peacefully.

The philosophy of Li Bing's father and son made her suddenly feel as if she understood something, isn't life the same?
