Tang Mingjia rented a very small house, with a one-bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom of less than 60 square meters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This building is quite old, and many similar buildings in the surrounding area have long been demolished, and high-rise apartments have been built in place, for this reason, even if the house is on the top floor, the light is not very good, and it is conceivable that it is difficult to get sunlight all year round.

The living room of the room is not large, and the first thing you see when you enter the room is a simple small square table and a few old plastic square stools.

In the place next to the square table near the window, there is a small bed, judging from the shabby plush toys and children's clothes on the bed, this should be Tang Mingjia's daughter's bed.

In addition to this, this room is filled with a large number of cardboard boxes that take up a large part of the space, and some of the boxes are open to reveal the semi-finished toy models inside.

This room basically integrates multiple functions such as a living room, dining room, warehouse, and little girl's bedroom.

All in all, cramped and gloomy were Meng Qi's first impression after walking into this room.

Du Ziming also sighed softly, he had heard a little about Tang Mingjia's current situation before, but he didn't expect him to live so miserably.

"For the Chinese New Year, we bought something, and it was a New Year's greeting for Uncle Tang......" Entering the house, Du Ziming said while putting a few bags in the corner of the wall.

Tang Mingjia and Lin Hui resigned again and again, and even said that there was no need.

"Most of them are things used by Linlin......"

As he spoke, Du Ziming took out a beautifully packaged angel doll from the bag, squatted down and shook it at the little girl, and said with a smile: "Do you like it?" ”

Linlin timidly took Tang Mingjia's hand, her body shrank back slightly, but her eyes were shining brightly, and she couldn't hide her love for this angel doll.

Tang Mingjia looked down at his daughter, his heart was slightly sour, and he said softly: "My brother gave it to you, take it......"

With her father's consent, the little girl happily took the toy from Du Ziming's hand, said "thank you", and then sat down on her own small bed, looking at the toy happily, and her two little legs kept dangling.

Meng Qi looked at the little girl's happy appearance, and suddenly remembered that he was a child, and asked, "Why don't you take it apart and take a look?" ”

The little girl shook her head shyly.

"Why?"

"Because if you dismantle the doll, it will become old, and it will always be ......new in the box," the little girl said, holding the box, "so that I will always have new toys......"

Meng Qi was stunned, and Tang Mingjia smiled awkwardly.

"Linlin is so smart, as smart as I was when I was a child, haha......" Meng Qi touched the little girl's head.

Linlin looked at Meng Qi with wide eyes and said, "Brother, didn't you dismantle toys when you were a child?" ”

"That's right." Meng Qi said.

The little girl seemed to have found a common language with Meng Qi, and opened the conversation box to chat with him, but under Meng Qi's guidance, the topic quickly changed from "no new toys" to others.

Of course, Tang Mingjia didn't believe that the new boss of Letoy had also suffered, but Meng Qi was helping him resolve the embarrassment, and he was also a little grateful in his heart.

After Lin Hui put the ingredients he bought into the kitchen, he quickly poured two glasses of water for the two guests, beckoned them to sit down, and then went into the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

"Ziming, let's ......go after eating at noon," Tang Mingjia said while letting Meng Qi and Du Ziming sit.

Even if you are poor, even if your life is not satisfactory, the etiquette and hospitality you should have are still indispensable, at least, you can still feel your dignity from this aspect.

Du Ziming was just about to resign, when he heard Meng Qi say: "Okay, try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship today......

You're welcome!

Du Ziming was a little surprised, their original intention was to come and leave after negotiating things with Tang Mingjia, but they didn't expect Meng Qi to change his mind temporarily.

He glanced at Tang Mingjia again, and saw the expression on the other party's face that was a little relieved and even slightly smiling, and instantly understood most of it in his heart.

Tang Mingjia's family is in this situation, how can you buy so many vegetables for a meal at noon? Isn't it because Du Ziming and Meng Qi are coming, people are not hypocritical and unpretentious to show the greatest sincerity they can, are you embarrassed to refuse?

Thinking of this, Du Ziming's admiration for Meng Qi deepened a little.

Du Ziming and Tang Mingjia had already sat down on the plastic square stool, but Meng Qi seemed to be unable to sit still, either playing with the little girl for a while, or just looking at those toy models, and not participating in the conversation between Du Ziming and Tang Mingjia at all.

After a few words of greeting, Du Ziming finally got to the point: "Is Uncle Tang still willing to play with toys?" ”

"Of course I want to, but can I go back?"

Tang Mingjia asked rhetorically.

In fact, when Tang Mingjia left, he had a very stiff quarrel with Le's toys, and some senior executives of the company were very dissatisfied with this, so Tang Mingjia asked such a question.

"The current boss is this ......," Du Ziming said, pointing to Meng Qi, who was playing with a model.

Tang Mingjia immediately understood, rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and said, "Okay, good." ”

"However, Uncle Tang, if you come back this time, the company may not let you get involved in those high-end toys for the time being......"

Du Ziming's words made Tang Mingjia stunned.

In other words, you still can't make your favorite toys?

Tang Mingjia's face was a little gloomy, and finally nodded in agreement with difficulty.

An hour ago, he had already made the decision to give up his dream of toys for the time being and go out and find a random job, and now there is a job related to toys in front of him, not to mention that he can't do what he likes, even if he is asked to do the food and toys he despises the most, puzzles or something, he will still agree.

"What? Feeling sick? ”

At this time, Meng Qi came over and sat down.

Tang Mingjia smiled bitterly.

"I heard Ziming talk about you before, and I think you have persistence, dreams, and are a very admirable person." Meng Qi said, "But when I see you now, I think you're stupid......"

This is a bit hurtful to say, although Tang Mingjia's character has been worn off a lot of edges and corners, and he is no longer as independent and special as he was back then, but Meng Qi's words still aroused his temper.

"What does Boss Meng mean by this?"

"I mean, I can't get enough to eat, and what dreams are you talking about!" Meng Qi's expression was a little serious.

"Dreams come first!" Tang Mingjia raised his voice.

"On the road to chasing dreams, isn't the first thing to solve the worries of chasing dreams?" Meng Qi said, "There are too many desperate and desperate people, how many are really successful? ”

"That's better than giving up......"

"As long as you have your own persistence, it doesn't matter if you're doing something related to it, right?"

The two were arguing at a very fast pace, but when Meng Qi said this, Tang Mingjia stopped suddenly.

On the way back, he said to his daughter, "No matter what you do, some things are always more important than money", and what Meng Qi just said was actually a reverse thinking of what he said.

There are no flaws in the logic, and the underlying meaning is the same.

Tang Mingjia looked at Meng Qi, frowned and said, "So I have been insisting, and I haven't relaxed for a moment." ”

"Didn't the persistence you said be exchanged for the sacrifice of my sister-in-law and Linlin? This kind of insistence is simply the most ridiculous and selfish thing......" Meng Qi continued to attack quietly.

"I've had sacrifices! And I've been working on it! Tang Mingjia stood up abruptly and roared loudly.

Linlin seemed to be taken aback, and looked at this side with some fear.

Lin Hui also faintly heard their conversation in the kitchen, she stopped the movement of her hands, thinking of the grievances of these years, her eyes were red.

He didn't understand why Meng Qi was saying this, and he didn't understand it himself.

Over the years, Lin Hui and Linlin have been doing their best to tolerate him and understand him, he is guilty, full of self-blame but helpless, and now, an outsider said these things bluntly, directly stabbing at the weakest place in his heart, which made him feel angry and felt that his dignity was trampled on the ground.

However, Meng Qi did not let him go easily.

"What is your sacrifice? Instead of trying to change the life of the family who supports you the most, staying in this old house waiting to be demolished and making a model that no one buys, is it your sacrifice? Meng Qi's words were as sharp as a knife.

Tang Mingjia opened his mouth and sat down on the stool.

"President!" Du Ziming couldn't stand it anymore, and he also felt that Meng Qi's words were a bit excessive.

But Meng Qi ignored it and continued: "Work hard! Do you think you can get everything you want with hard work alone, don't be too whimsical! Strive for something that everyone can do, why do you succeed if you work hard! ”

Tang Mingjia held his head in pain, still struggling, and arguing: "It's not my fault, it's the whole toy industry that's wrong." ”

Meng Qi gave the final blow without hesitation: "Are you starting to blame the entire toy industry again?" However, since you think so, it doesn't hurt, just follow me and watch how I change the industry! ”

Tang Mingjia raised his head and looked at Meng Qi in dismay.
