Chapter 263 Gratifying, Father's Humiliation and Grievance

Looking at Wang Ming on the rostrum, these family members were full of relief and excitement. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Which young man of Wang Ming's age can achieve today's achievements? Who can do what Wang Ming is doing now?

Very few.

Finally, when the medical lecture meeting was over, and the two central-level officials were seated in front of him, Wang Dingguo woke up from this dream-like reality.

"Mr. Wang, Wang Ming's ability has been recognized by everyone. Those of you who are parents should be happy and proud. There are very few outstanding young people like Wang Ming now. ”

As Vice Minister Zhang Weilin spoke, he took out the relevant documents that had been prepared long ago and handed them to Wang Dingguo.

"It's all this kid who is capable of fighting for himself, and we haven't done anything for him."

After receiving the document handed by the central official, Wang Dingguo took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This document was issued by the Central Ministry of Health and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the two central departments notified Wang Ming's deeds and rewarded them accordingly.

Looking at the documents issued by these two central departments, Wang Dingguo's hands trembled a little.

Having worked in the government when he was younger, he knew how much weight it had.

"He could have won more if he wanted to. I envy you for having a good son."

Deputy Director Li Yueping, who was sitting on the side, said with some envy when he saw Wang Dingguo say these words.

Hearing his words, the old principals in the office couldn't help but laugh kindly, and the eyes of everyone looking at Wang Ming also changed a little.

Wang Ming looked at a room where everyone looked at him, and he smiled at everyone a little embarrassed.

"Old Dean Liu and the old principals have given me too many honors for this junior, and I really can't afford it. Some of the old-timers in the medical field have not been able to obtain these honors, and I am really afraid that I will be so honored and hired by universities when I am young. ”

Looking at the thick handful of employment certificates and related documents from major universities in front of him, Wang Ming glanced at these old principals with some embarrassment, and then said.

"We're relieved if you think so. Half of this glory is what you deserve, and the other half is what we old fellows expect from you. Wang Ming, you are an understanding person, and you are also a relatively down-to-earth and calm child. You should know the weight of these things best, you still have a long way to go, and I hope you will not disappoint the expectations of all of us. ”

Hearing Wang Ming's words, Old Dean Liu and the old presidents of these colleges and universities here glanced at each other, and then stared at Wang Ming and said in a deep voice.

With the words of Dean Liu, the old presidents of several other colleges and universities also made some exhortations to Wang Ming.

The simultaneous hiring of more than a dozen colleges and universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Capital Medical University, University of Political Science and Law, and University of Science and Technology in Huajing City is not child's play; although there are some reasons for external factors, Wang Ming's future success or failure also represents the honor of these colleges and universities to a large extent.

As these old principals said, this great honor brought Wang Ming countless dazzling halos, and at the same time, it also gave Wang Ming a heavy responsibility.

The greater a person's power, the greater the responsibility he bears.

Listening to the advice of these old principals, Wang Ming nodded in agreement while pondering.

For these things, he knew in his heart, and he didn't dare to be sloppy and lax.

……

After the medical lecture meeting, after a private conversation, there was a drinking banquet.

While celebrating the successful completion of this medical lecture meeting, everyone took the opportunity of the banquet to win over each other and lay the foundation for further development in the future.

Of course, in this banquet, not only Zhang Weilin and Li Yueping, two central-level dignitaries, were the guests of honor, but Wang Ming and his family were also one of the guests of this banquet.

Looking at the unusual attitude of the two central officials towards Wang Ming, the positioning of Wang Ming in the hearts of all the old principals present changed again.

After having a position in their hearts, these old principals have a stronger desire to woo Wang Ming, and are more optimistic about Wang Ming's future development.

And Wang Ming faced these old principals and Zhang Weilin, a central official, and he also showed considerable sincerity to drink with everyone.

In the end, a wine banquet ended happily.

At the time of parting, Zhang Weilin and Li Yueping left phone calls with Wang Ming to facilitate future contact.

The reason why the two of them made such a big effort to do these things for Wang Ming this time was that from a certain point of view, they also wanted to gain some favor from Wang Ming, so as to facilitate some things in the future.

Now that these two prescriptions are taken back, I am afraid that they will inevitably trouble Wang Ming, a doctor. If the relationship between the two parties is not very harmonious, it will also cause some inconvenience to them.

It was late at night, and everyone dispersed slightly drunk.

Sitting in the car and driving towards his residence, Wang Dingguo looked at Wang Ming, who was slightly drunk and rested with his eyes closed, and felt quite emotional in his heart.

The cool breeze blowing outside the car window made Wang Dingguo's somewhat scattered thoughts gather a little.

Seeing Wang Ming's achievements today, Wang Dingguo slowly reassured him.

"Dad, are you relieved now? My brother is so capable, you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Wang Xiao saw that her father was a little distracted, so she held her father's arm and persuaded softly.

Seeing his younger brother's glorious scenery today, Wang Xiao was also very relieved.

She even thought that if her younger brother was really capable and could solve all the difficulties in the family, would she, as an older sister, not have to work so tired? Don't have to pay too much for your family?

Thinking of these possibilities, Wang Xiao felt a little contempt for escaping responsibility in his heart, and a little expectation.

Just when she was thinking about these things, Wang Dingguo smiled and said: "I'm not qualified as a father, and seeing that you all have a chance, I feel a little inferior and uncomfortable." ”

Wang Dingguo spoke, looking at Wang Xiao and Wang Ming with love.

He has achieved nothing in his life, but his two children are extremely sensible and capable. Thinking of the debt to these children over the years, and seeing that they have made a difference one by one in front of him, Wang Dingguo felt relieved and happy, but also guilty.

"Dad, don't think nonsense, we'll be home soon."

At this time, Wang Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard his father's words, he opened his eyes and said softly.

The reason why I brought my family to this medical conference today is just to let my family see some of my abilities and feel more at ease. Wang Ming didn't want to bring any unnecessary burdens to his family, these were not his original intentions.

"I'm not cranky, I'll tell you something when I get home later."

Seeing that his son spoke, Wang Dingguo said with a smile.

Hearing his father's words, Wang Ming and Wang Xiao glanced at each other, a little curious about what their father would say later.

……

After everyone returned home, Wang Dingguo settled Wang Ming's mother and then returned to the living room.

After taking the tea brought by his daughter, Wang Dingguo lowered his head on the sofa and thought for a while before he spoke: "I want you to go to the wedding of your second aunt and cousin in two days." ”

While speaking, Wang Dingguo looked up at Wang Ming.

"I'm going alone? Didn't you go with your family? ”

Hearing his father mention this matter, Wang Ming asked with some astonishment.

When he asked his father about these things, Wang Ming glanced at his sister on the side, wanting to know what was going on.

When he looked at his sister, he saw a sudden look on her face.

"I'm a girl, you're a boy in our family, and you should go for this. Dad still has to stay at home to take care of Mom, and Dad hasn't been involved in anything in the family for years. So you're really going to have to go on your own this time. ”

Seeing that his younger brother didn't quite understand, Wang Xiao thought about it for a while before explaining slowly.

When explaining these things to Wang Ming, Wang Xiao glanced at his father who was sitting on the side.

Sure enough, a trace of loneliness was seen on his father's face and disappeared in a flash.

Thinking of what happened to his father and his second grandfather's family before, Wang Xiao sighed heavily in his heart.

If your family is weak and bullied, even if you are a clansman or a family member, you will be bullied for being weak and powerless.

"But I'm alone, I don't know some of my relatives at all, what should I do then? Besides, isn't there a sister-in-law Zhang to take care of ** things? When I went to my cousin's wedding, my father didn't take me over, so I went alone, and I didn't say much about the past. ”

Hearing his sister's explanation, Wang Ming, who reacted, glanced at his father a little strangely, and then asked.

Although he has been thinking about this major event of reuniting with a large family recently, Wang Ming really hasn't thought too much about these things.

Originally, by attending the cousin's wedding, I could get acquainted with a large family of 'surnamed Wang', and then I could really recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and really find my family.

This matter should be taken by parents and relatives to go together, but now that he heard that his father let him go alone, Wang Ming couldn't help but be surprised.

If you go alone, who knows what to call the seven aunts and eight aunts of the entire big family?

"It's okay, your uncle and your aunt will arrive in Huajing in the next two days. Just let your uncle take you there, and you don't have to worry about the rest. I don't want to go to these things. ”

Waving his hand, Wang Dingguo didn't seem to want to mention these things, he said so casually and stood up and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

"There's got to be a reason why you didn't want to go, right? Why not want to go? ”

Seeing that his father wanted to leave after saying half of his words, Wang Ming stood up and asked.

"There's no reason, I haven't been to anyone's relatives' weddings over the years, I don't want to be with this family, and I don't like this kind of occasion."

Seeing his son get up and ask, Wang Dingguo paused and replied in a cold voice.

Hearing the resentment in his father's words, Wang Ming opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.

He thought for a moment and looked at his sister who was sitting next to him.

"Dad, my brother is back now. There are some things that you have to tell him more or less, and when my brother goes to his cousin's wedding, he will be more or less truly recognized his ancestors and returned to our family. If he doesn't know anything about our family, others will laugh at him. ”

Seeing his younger brother's look of embarrassment and hesitation, Wang Xiao stood up and whispered to his father.

While speaking, Wang Xiao pulled his father back to his seat.

After she pulled her father back to the sofa and sat down, she walked up to Wang Ming and gently pressed him to the sofa.

Looking at his father, who bowed his head and was silent, Wang Xiao sighed softly and turned around and walked towards the house.

It involved a scar on my father, and the less people sat here, the more they could take care of his face.

Wang Ming saw his sister leave in silence, and he realized that there was something that these family members were hiding from him.

Looking at his father, who was a little unusually silent, Wang Ming lowered his head and thought about it for a while and asked softly, "Dad, even if you don't go, there must be a reason, right?" It's okay if you don't want to go, but tell me and let me know these things, so you can have a good idea in your heart. Otherwise, I'm confused, how to deal with these scenes? ”

Wang Ming's words made Wang Dingguo's body tremble slightly.

He lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I don't want to go, I'm afraid that I will go drunk and go crazy, and make them unhappy." ”

Although Wang Dingguo's words were low, the tone of his words was extremely resentful.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such an answer, Wang Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard his father's words.

"Tomorrow, you can relax and go, no matter whether I am there or not, you are our child, and you have your place at the wedding banquet. Back then, your grandfather was the eldest in our 'Wang family', and I was also the oldest in our generation. Now it's you, you're the oldest of your cousins. If I don't go then, you will sit on the 'upper seat' at the wedding banquet. ”

He didn't look up at Wang Ming, Wang Dingguo lowered his head and said to himself, not paying too much attention to Wang Ming's reaction.

Wang Mingzuo listened to his father's brainless words on the side, he was stunned and confused.

"Dad, I didn't understand what you meant. The 'seat' at the banquet or something, I don't have to look at the specific situation before deciding? This has to pay attention to the 'etiquette', I have to look at the elders of the same banquet, right? ”

After frowning and thinking for a while, Wang Ming said to his father suspiciously.

The customs and habits vary from place to place, but there are many rules and regulations at the banquet.

The elder and the younger, the difference between the main and the secondary, all kinds of subtleties can make people feel the problem of 'etiquette'.

In some places, the distinction between 'guest of honor' and 'guest' is determined according to the emphasis of 'sitting in the north and facing south', and the seats in the north are 'upper seats', while the status represented by the seats in the south is getting lower and lower.

However, in some places, the difference between 'upper seat' and 'inverted seat' is determined by the position facing the door, and the position directly facing the door is generally the position where the person with the highest status is seated at the banquet, and so on.

However, wedding feasts such as family gatherings are based on the 'seniority' or 'age' to determine the 'priority' position.

In short, from ancient times to the present, the etiquette culture on the wine table is also quite exquisite, and the slightest carelessness can offend people.

It was precisely after learning about these problems that Wang Mingfang had some scruples to ask his father about these things.

At that time, in the face of those strange clansmen, if there is no guidance from his parents, he will not know how to deal with it appropriately.

"You don't have to worry about it, you can sit in whatever seat they assign you. I didn't go, but this generation is here. At that time, there may be an elder at the table who sits in the 'main seat', and you should be sitting in the 'deputy seat'. When you were just born, your great-grandmother (great-grandmother, my father's grandmother) died, and she left you a sum of money, which she saved little by little. It's not much, but the meaning of this amount is very different. When she was dying, she took your second aunt's hand and told you to leave the money for you to use in college. It is because of her old man's words that she is here that your second aunt has not given up looking for you all these years, and has always taken care of our family so much. ”

Hearing his son's words, Wang Dingguo shook his head and explained.

There is no need for Wang Ming to worry too much about these seats, and everything will be arranged by itself when the time comes. But Wang Dingguo wanted to take this opportunity to mention some things at home to Wang Ming.

When Wang Ming heard his father talk about these old things, he was silent and didn't know what to say.

This is the elders, even if they are dying of old age, they are still worried about these younger children.

Even if they die, they still can't rest assured that these juniors want to leave something for them and do something for them.

Feeling these feelings, Wang Ming didn't know how to express his feelings to this grandmother who had never met.

What does it mean to 'want to raise a son, but the parent is not there', Wang Ming has a deeper understanding at this moment.

When she was still an infant, her grandmother cared for her so much, and even when she died, she still remembered herself, leaving behind the private money she had accumulated for many years to use for her to go to college decades later.

Now that I have grown up, I have the ability, I am sensible, and I understand these licking feelings of the elders.

It's a pity that it's late.

What can be used to repay the kindness of these elders?

What do you use to express your sincere feelings from the bottom of your heart?

It's just a handful of loess to add to the grave, just a few hell coins to burn the underworld, just half a bottle of old wine in my heart......

There is nothing else to do, no other way to express my feelings for them, and no other way to repay them......

When people are gone, what's the point of having more things?

What emotion in this world can be compared to family affection?

Camaraderie?

How rare is it to have a confidant and friend who is worth making for a lifetime? Interests, deception, materialism, and reality have long made people wear out too much of their conscience, and have long made people build one solid protection after another in their hearts. Don't make friends with others, and don't let others get in touch with you too deeply.

Love?

How hard is it to find a lover who truly loves each other for life? Virgin * girl, gold worshipper? Ignorant teenager, sophisticated and sleek? A simple girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, once innocent teenagers? Gone, old, never to come back. The youthful innocence of the past, the innocence and beauty of the past, have long since ceased to exist. had a true love with him (her), but had no choice but to break up for practical reasons. The two families are separated by thousands of miles from each other, which is intolerable to the actual conditions. His or her level of conditions is too far away from his or her own, and he or she is not recognized by the world. He (she) couldn't withstand the temptation of this worldly prosperity, and finally the two broke up. Rubbing shoulders with too many or too many of them (her), or hurting true love in each other. The heart has left one after another ruthless scars of the years, and the true love feelings in the heart are becoming more and more indifferent and rare.

Love? This is just a word that exists in legends, and the materialistic reality has long taught us this, slowly making us think that these things are too extravagant. Only those who are still innocent in their hearts, only those who are still full of hope and longing for the future in their hearts, will believe in the existence of these things, and look at them, as if they have seen their former selves, and even more so to see them after a few years......

The so-called 'friendship' and 'love', compared with the real 'family affection', the risks of these two are too great, and it is too difficult to find their true figure.

Whether it is a friend or a former lover, what will flash in their hearts at the moment they are really dying?

Perhaps he didn't leave too many traces in his heart at that time, and he had long been wiped out by the years in the cycle of memory.

Only the relatives who have been by their side for decades are what they are most concerned about.

Who in this world can remember you when you are dying?

Yes, only loved ones.

Thinking of the elders in the family and the memories of the past, Wang Dingguo also fell silent.

The night is as cool as water, and the lights in the house are dim, which adds a lot of sadness and coolness.

……

The atmosphere of silence in the room lasted for a while, and then Wang Dingguo took a deep breath and said softly: "At that time, you were a boy in our Wang family, and a girl from your second grandfather's family was born later than you. Your grandmother left this money for you, but she didn't leave anything for your second grandfather's cousin. After your cousin's wedding, you will accompany me to the ancestral grave to pay respects to your grandmother and your grandfather, and you will also accompany me to see a relative. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Dingguo couldn't go on anymore.

Thinking of his younger brother, who is still in prison, and thinking of the humiliation suffered by his family in the past, Wang Dingguo's throat was choked and unspeakable.

"Dad, I know, I will definitely go to my grandfather and grandmother's grave to burn paper."

Looking at his father, Wang Ming nodded seriously and said in a deep voice.

"At that time, when your grandmother passed away, your aunt and your second grandfather already had some important status in the province, plus some of the original relatives and friends of our 'Wang family', so there were many guests who came to pay their filial piety at that time. At that time, our family received a large amount of gift money, but it was in these gift money matters that I had some conflicts with your second grandfather and his family, and your second aunt and grandmother were also present at the time, so now I don't want to participate in these things. ”

After bowing his head and being silent for a while, Wang Dingguo mustered up all the strength to tell those past events.

"Because of the conflict with the gift money? Is it because of the distribution of these key money shares? ”

Seeing that his father had talked so much about the past, and finally talked about the main reason for not going to the wedding, Wang Ming looked at his father and asked in a deep voice.

Just hearing his father say this, Wang Ming faintly realized what these things were all about.

Undoubtedly, it all started with money.

"At that time, it was more than ninety years when your grandmother was gone, and we received a total of more than one million gifts, but later distributed to our family, only less than 10,000. Your second grandfather, they said that the money for these gifts was all for the sake of the relationship between him and your second aunt, because I had a quarrel with them about it. Your uncle wasn't around at the time, and your second grandfather's cousins and cousins almost came up and beat me when they were arguing. Your second aunt and your two aunts cried angrily and left overnight. That's how your second grandfather's family did things......"

Wang Dingguo lowered his head and said these past events silently, and in the end, he couldn't say anything, and his voice was sour.

The family is weak and bullied.

In the two generations of the Wang family, they are both the bosses of 'Changmen'. Back then, because of the loss of Wang Ming's child, his father died, and he followed the running around for the child's affairs, and he had no intention of fighting anymore.

Slowly, the relatives and friends in the family are thriving and entering the provincial circle, but their broken family is stuck in the provincial capital Yunzhou City, without the slightest development.

Being looked down upon.

This is the biggest thorn in Wang Dingguo's heart for so many years, and it is also the source of his resentment and self-blame

complains about others, but hates and complains about themselves even more

"I haven't mixed well over the years, and these relatives and friends in my family have all established themselves and developed one by one, so they look down on our family. Dad is old, nothing, but you're still young. You are the great-grandchild of our 'Wang family', and my father didn't do a good job as the boss of our generation, but you must be a 'boss' in your generation. We don't care whether we are rich or poor, we can't be looked down upon. ”

After being silent for a while and calming the emotions in his heart, Wang Dingguo told Wang Ming.

"Dad, I know, I remember this. I don't recognize this relative."

Listening silently to his father about these past events, Wang Ming's chest rose and fell violently. He was angry in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent

Such relatives are not uncommon for him

In all fairness, his father really didn't mix well, he really didn't achieve anything, and he used to live in decadence all day long.

But no matter what, this is a family after all, and they are all relatives. Is it possible to throw away all these family ties and blood relations for a little money?

If you can give up family affection for the sake of profit, then you don't want such family affection.

Thinking that his father was almost beaten and scolded by the so-called 'relatives' in the family in the past, Wang Ming clenched his fists tightly, and his body trembled slightly

If others dare to do this to their father, they will let the blood splash five steps

But how do these so-called 'relatives' start?

Under the extreme hatred, under the extreme anger, but there is no way to vent

Seeing Wang Ming's angry and abnormal appearance, Wang Dingguo was shocked and felt a trace of remorse in his heart.

"You're still young, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Although there has been such a thing before, we are still a family after all. The last time you were in Yunzhou City, didn't Uncle Wang Gang of your second grandfather's family still run around for your business and contribute to it? Although there are so many estrangements and troubles in the family, on the big picture, they can't be too stiff. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Afraid that Wang Ming would do something too impulsive, Wang Dingguo thought about it for a while and explained.

"When I get married, I won't recognize this relative anymore. By then, I would have gotten married and started a family, and I would have really grown up. Now I know what to do. Dad, don't worry.

Nodding, Wang Ming stood up as he spoke, not wanting to talk too much about this matter.

There are some things that are kept in mind and do not have to be revealed.

Seeing through without breaking it can sometimes make it easier to deal with something.

When Wang Dingguo heard Wang Ming say these words, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed lightly.

Wang Ming, this kid is good everywhere, but that kind of temper and personality sometimes makes people not feel at ease.

Now that things are like this, Wang Dingguo won't say anything more. Now that my son has grown up and is sensible, he also has a certain ability. He is happy as a father, and he is relieved to let the child deal with some things by himself.

……

After Wang Ming returned to the room, he couldn't calm the anger and hatred in his heart for a long time.

Opening the window and looking at the dark night outside the window, a gust of cold wind blew, making Wang Ming's thoughts drift into the distance.

After a while, we will have to take action against the 'Xu family', and at that time, all the personnel of the entire 'Wang family' will probably be involved, and it is not suitable for the entire family to have problems at the moment.

And now I don't know much with some relatives in the family, and my family's small family has not been properly handled, and I shouldn't go through too many ups and downs......

Standing by the window and thinking about these things, Wang Ming finally sighed heavily.

Life is sometimes helpless......

……

Just when the 'Wang family' was preparing for a big wedding, the contact between Xia Pengda and Song Yuanqing, sent by the old man of the 'Xu family', became more frequent.

From Song Yuanqing, Xia Pengda heard an important news

In the near future, the 'Wang family' is going to make a big move against the 'Xu family'

After learning the news, Xia Pengda hurried to the 'Xu family' to discuss this matter with the old man Xu Yaoping.

After Sima Qingyun, who was hidden behind the scenes, learned that Song Yuanqing had revealed these news to the 'Xu family', he slowly prepared to attend the wedding of the 'Wang family', so that the family could take the opportunity to mention the matter with Wang Xiao to some elders of the 'Wang family'.

When Xia Pengda rushed to the 'Xu family' to inform the old man Xu of this incident, the teacup in the old man's hand of the Xu family fell to the ground and shattered.

"Are you sure it's true?" The Wang family's going to act after the big wedding? ”

Staring at Xia Pengda, Old Man Xu asked in a deep voice.

I didn't expect the 'Wang family' to have such a bold desire to let the two families fight for the last time, and Old Man Xu was a little worried when he thought of that kind of consequence.

The comprehensive suppression of the two families will inevitably involve every clansman. And the final result is at least a lose-lose situation

Even if one side wins, the result is only a miserable victory.

didn't expect the 'Wang family' to have such a bold force to take the lead, and Old Man Xu was anxious to think about how to deal with it.

……

The 'Wang family' took the opportunity of the wedding to make a big move, and a new dark wave was slowly forming.

But what Wang Ming didn't expect was that he, who took care of the overall situation, was humiliated at the wedding banquet
