Chapter 251: Noble and Selfish
The night and the lights seem to compose the small Xitang into an ancient poem, and from time to time there will be a group of tourists looking forward to the passing of the year on the bluestone street, vying to appreciate the waking March flowers, but no one is willing to pay attention to our inn called "Inn".
I didn't want to wait any longer, so I took my guitar out of my room and sat down under the willow tree across the street from the inn and started singing to myself.
At the end of the song, some tourists gathered at me and asked if I was a singer, and when I told them that I was the owner of the inn opposite, the crowd immediately dispersed.
In the end, only one couple was left, and after I promised to give them a 7% discount, I agreed to visit our inn.
I also think it's good to be like this, after all, it's also a harvest.
After returning the guitar to the inn, I went to Ah Feng's "I'm waiting for you in Xitang" bar, asked for some beer as usual, and talked to him about the "perfect travel plan".
By the time the details were finalized, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, but I didn't want to go back to the inn, so I ordered two more beers and drank them.
Ah Feng comforted: "Don't be too anxious about the inn, I believe that after the implementation of this plan, business will improve." ”
I nodded, picked up the beer bottle and touched one with Ah Feng, and the two continued to chat, chatting and chatting before talking about the woman who was always dressed in red.
Ah Feng said jokingly: "Since she left Xitang, the income of our bar has plummeted by half!" ”
"I'll come back later."
Ah Feng asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you sure?" ”
"I met her the night before she left Xitang...... It was clear that the knot in her heart had not yet opened. ”
Ah Feng nodded and sighed: "This is a woman who has been seriously injured, since it is a serious injury, it is not so easy to heal!" …… It's just that I don't quite understand what kind of man can hurt her emotionally. ”
I smiled and said, "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it......"
"What do you say?"
I shrugged my shoulders, picked up the beer bottle and touched a glass with Ah Feng, and said, "It's just that you can't say it!" ”
Ah Feng made a helpless expression, drank the remaining beer in the bottle, and got up and walked towards the singing stage.
……
My world was temporarily quiet under Ah Feng's singing, so he put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes until his phone vibrate.
I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and looked at it, it was Ban Dad calling, and my heart and liver trembled immediately, knowing that I couldn't hide from it.
I answered the phone, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Daddy, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"Your mother and I will go to Xitang in two days."
"I'm fine here, so don't you rush here."
Ban Dad's tone was very cold: "You don't pretend to be confused, don't you know why we went to Xitang?" ”
"Of course I do."
"Men should be considerate and measured in doing things, you say it yourself, what's the matter with staying in Xitang now?"
"Staying in Xitang is the result of my consideration."
"People don't all live for themselves, you are 27 years old this year, think about your responsibilities!"
I didn't say anything for a long time, and Daddy hung up the phone in my silence.
Listening to the continuous hang-up sound, I felt anxious for a while, picked up another bottle of beer, and drank it all! The whole person also indulged in the night and swayed.
……
Back at the inn, I didn't even have the heart to wash up and lay on the bed, at this moment I really want to find someone to solve my puzzles, why always when I choose a life, I will encounter all kinds of resistance, is it my subjective deviation from the world, or the world objectively let me deviate?
I couldn't get an answer, so I sent a message to Mi Cai, throwing the question to her, hoping that she would solve my puzzles from the perspective of a bystander.
After a few moments, Mi Cai replied to my message: "You should care about why you deviate, not about the relationship between the world and you. ”
I don't seem to be able to let Mi Cai solve my puzzles, because she is clever enough to elevate the topic to the level of philosophy, which makes me even more confused.
After a while, I sent her a message back: "There are many outsiders who open inns in Xitang, and there are many people who have not married and started a family, why do I have to encounter resistance from my family?" ”
"How do you know they haven't faced resistance from their families?"
"You mean: they went through it, but they persevered, right?"
"Right...... People's gaze is always limited, and many times they are always accustomed to looking at problems from a position that is beneficial to themselves, so they always feel that other people's settings are problematic and they are wronged. ”
"How selfish people are!"
"But many people will regard their selfishness as noble!"
"Are you alluding to me?"
Mi Cai didn't answer clearly, she just said: "Regarding your stay in Xitang, it can be said that you are a good man, and it can also be said that you don't care about your parents' feelings, so this world is contradictory, there is no absolute right or wrong, it just depends on whether you want to be understood by them, whether they are willing to understand you!" ”
"So it's all about understanding, isn't it?"
"Yes, if they are willing to understand you, you can achieve a career in Xitang, and then give back to your family, and even society, then you are noble, if they are not willing to understand you, even if you achieve a career, it is always selfish."
Mi Cai's answer made me suddenly enlightened, if I really decide to make a career in Xitang, then I must ask for the understanding of my father and mother.
Just as I was thinking about how to make them understand my decision, Mi Cai sent me another message: "Will your parents go to Xitang to find you?" ”
"yes, I'll be here soon."
"They want you to have a stable career and girlfriend, don't they?"
"Both parents thought about it."
"Then you'll fulfill their idea."
It's possible that I'll turn running an inn into a stable career in the future, but what about my girlfriend? Where do I go to find a girlfriend who satisfies them at the moment?
I thought of rice color, but ...... In this situation, how do I talk to her?
"Zhaoyang, why didn't you reply to the message?"
"I don't have the power to fulfill their ideas right now."
This time, it took a long time for Mi Cai to reply to the message: "...... I know your dad has always treated me like your girlfriend. ”
I wasn't sure if Mi Cai was hinting at me, so I tentatively asked, "Then did you admit it in front of him?" ”
"Why not admit it? …… It was only later that we broke up. ”
"Then you're going to the United States!"
Mi Cai: "......"
"You don't have to be speechless, that's the way it is chronologically."
"You're really going to avoid the important and ...... lightly"
"Don't you think I'm cunning?"
"Yes, since you are so cunning, why did you consult me so much just now?"
"No fox, no matter how cunning, can fight a good hunter!"
This time, Mi Cai didn't reply to the message for a long time, maybe the above conversation was not what she expected.
But what was she expecting?
Could it be the phrase: "Honey, let's start all over again!" ”――
What does it mean that the plot is unreasonable? I also think that China's housing prices are unreasonable! But will the developer find it unreasonable? This is not a reasonable world in the first place, you are always used to looking at things from the position that is beneficial to you, so what is reasonable? Looking at this book from a different perspective, I don't think there's anything that is so unreasonable.
