Chapter 56: The Misguided Uncle
Qian Lizhen didn't say anything, just ate silently on the side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, Zheng Nanxing looked a little serious, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zheng Long's return to the sea for too long.
The family was quietly eating pickles and porridge, but it was a little strange...
Zheng Long decided to strike first and not let this embarrassing scene last too long...
"Dad, Mom, I have been a little delayed for too long to go to the overseas market this time, I will apologize to you first."
Zheng Long said very sincerely.
"Hmph, you know it's back!"
Zheng Nanxing finally opened his mouth, it seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with Zheng Long going for so many days. After all, in China, mainstream parents still hope that their children can focus on their studies, and other things can be put aside.
Therefore, Zheng Nanxing is very worried that Zheng Long's going to the overseas market this time will have any adverse impact on his high school entrance examination tomorrow.
"Dad, I went to the sea market this time, met a lot of nobles, and a lot of things happened, so it was delayed. I promise that I will focus on my studies in the future, and I will not be so willful again! ”
Seeing Zheng Long's sincere appearance, Zheng Nanxing couldn't blame him, after all, in the minds of their generation, literature still has a very high status, so being invited as a guest to participate in a literary authors' conference is indeed a precious experience.
"Well, even if you want to pursue the path of literature in the future, you should also improve your own cultural literacy! All writers are knowledgeable! If you want to do literature after graduating from college, your father and I will raise our hands in favor! Now, you just give me an honest study, if you don't do well in the high school entrance examination next year, I see what you will do? As you know, our family has nothing to do with each other, and we can't send you a good study. ”
Zheng Long nodded sensibly:
"Dad, I get it!"
"It's good to understand!"
Qian Lizhen, who was eating silently on the side, also interjected:
"Okay, it's good to know what's wrong. This time I went to the sea market, and I didn't have a wild heart, right? It's much more prosperous than ours, and if you really have a chance in the future, you will have to go to a university listed in the sea, and after you graduate, you will stay there to develop, and you will be considered promising..."
Qian Lizhen has an almost obsessive idea of big cities, which is very common among their generation, because if they have not experienced it, they do not know that although big cities also mean prosperity and beauty, they also mean that it is difficult to gain a foothold and high housing prices.
Of course, Zheng Long won't tell his parents about this.
He just gently escaped with the red envelope that had been hidden in his pocket.
"Dad, Mom, this time I went to the overseas market, and the uncles and aunts of the magazine were very kind to me, gave me a lot of literary guidance, and gave me some money. I've saved all the money they gave me, and it's useless for me to take it, so I want to keep it better for you! ”
Listening to Zheng Long's words, Qian Lizhen and Zheng Nanxing looked at each other a little, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Qian Lizhen's eyes were a little moist, because she knew that her son was promising and sensible.
And when she took the red envelope, she was even more moved.
Because the weight of the red envelope is beyond her imagination.
She originally thought that a small child would write a small article, at best, give a reward and comfort of dozens of dollars. But the thick stack of banknotes in her hand still made her a little stunned.
After all, in 2001, Qian Lizhen's salary was only in her early 1,000s, which was equivalent to half a month's salary.
"So much?"
Qian Lizhen was a little surprised, so she asked Zheng Long:
"Where did you get all this money?"
"Didn't you just say that the people from the magazine gave it."
Qian Lizhen couldn't believe it, her eyes widened and she said:
"So many? Didn't you just write an article or two? It turns out that writing manuscripts makes so much money? ”
"You know now? You didn't let me write articles before, otherwise I might have been famous by now! ”
Zheng Nanxing suddenly interjected.
It turned out that his father Zheng Nanxing was also a standard literary youth in the eighties and nineties, and he wanted to chase his literary dreams many times, but after all, he was bound by life and did not give up everything to pursue his dreams...
"Okay, okay, I don't understand the affairs of your literary circle! Son..."
"Huh?"
Zheng Long looked at Qian Lizhen's expression and was a little puzzled.
"Then you can still write more manuscripts in addition to studying in the future, not too much, you can earn some extra money..."
"Hey, hey... Good"
Zheng Long smiled slyly.
Sure enough, many things don't need to be explained too much, as long as the solution is put in front of others, the matter will be solved naturally.
It's like many parents are against their children not doing this and not doing that, but when their children really succeed a lot beyond their parents' imagination, parents will still respect their choice.
The only criterion is whether you can actually succeed.
Qian Lizhen put away the red envelope, and the family returned to the old atmosphere and continued to eat happily.
However, it didn't take long for Qian Lizhen to sigh again.
"Hey, it would be nice if Xiaohai was as sensible as Long Long."
"Mom, what's wrong with Uncle Xiaohai? What's going on again? ”
Zheng Nanxing said:
"You don't have to worry about this matter, you study hard, and we will handle Uncle Xiaohai's affairs."
Qian Lizhen glanced at Zheng Nanxing:
"How can you say that he is also your own brother, tell your son what's wrong with this? Your Uncle Xiaohai, this time I don't know what's going on, I'm missing! ”
"Huh? What's going on? Missing? ”
Qian Lizhen let out a long sigh and said:
"Hey, doesn't he like to gamble, the last time he came to our house, he didn't borrow money, so he really had no choice, and he went to borrow usury. Is this loan shark fun? It's a murderous thing that doesn't blink! When the deadline came and the creditor came to the door, he had no choice but to hide and hide, and then look everywhere for ways to make money... A few days ago, I heard that I went to Zhangcheng City with someone to engage in some agricultural development, but then there was no news. I think I must have been deceived into a pyramid scheme! ”
"Ahh
"Hey, Xiaohai, this kid, it's really not growing. Now that there is such a big incident, and we have a job to do, who has the energy to go to him? It doesn't help to report the crime, because there are no clues at all ... Hey, what should I do, you said that if there are three long and two short, how can I explain to your deceased grandfather? ”
Zheng Long's grandfather died a few years after Zheng Long was born, and Zheng Long was still in kindergarten at that time, so he didn't have many memories. I only remember that my grandfather was a very kind old man, and he used to be a teacher who taught and educated people, and he had worked hard all his life and experienced the ups and downs of the great era, but he still lived very happily. Grandpa is the uncle Zheng Xiaohai who can't worry about the most in his life, because he has never grown up, he has been wandering around the society since he graduated from high school, and he has no formal job, and he is messing around with people all day long, and now he has finally reached this level.
Listening to his parents' words, Zheng Long also fell into deep thought.
