Chapter 163: A gentleman should pay attention to character cultivation

Lunch ended in a harmonious atmosphere, Gu Zhengshan, Chen Guoyun and Ye Yunqing met for the first time, in courtesy, at noon, according to Ye Yunqing's proposal, everyone drank Dynasty dry red. After the meal, Gu Zhengshan arranged for Yue Haohan and Tao Chunxiao to accompany Ye Yunqing and his party in the afternoon, and walked around Jiangyang County, and dinner was still in Yangjiang Hotel.

After dinner, out of the restaurant, Tao Chunxiao called a car to Yue Haohan from the county party committee office, Yue Haohan and Cheng Ziying greeted everyone, then took Cheng Ziying's luggage, got into the car of the county party committee office, and drove towards No. 1 Middle School.

The car drove to the gate of Yue Haohan's yard, Yue Haohan got out of the car and took out the suitcase from the trunk, thanked the driver, and then took Cheng Ziying's hand into the yard, and saw Yue Haojiang just walking out of the hall with a book in his hand, seeing Yue Haohan and Cheng Ziying holding hands into the yard, Yue Haojiang hurriedly turned around and returned to the hall.

At this time, I heard Wang Sulan hurriedly come out of the house with a loud laugh, and walked towards Cheng Ziying, saying to Yue Haojiang as she walked, Sister Ziying has arrived? Come in and sit down.

As she spoke, Wang Sulan stepped forward and took Cheng Ziying's hand, looked up and down with her eyebrows on her face, and saw that Cheng Ziying was very embarrassed, and shouted with a red face, Hello Auntie!

Wang Sulan took Cheng Ziying's hand and said, "Child, come into the house and sit, it's hot outside." Well, it's even more beautiful than in the pictures.

Wang Sulan pulled Cheng Ziying to sit on the sofa in the hall, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, Yue Haojiang poured a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Cheng Ziying, and said, Sister, you drink tea.

Cheng Ziying smiled, looked at Yue Haojiang, and asked, Haojiang, is this year a sophomore in high school, right?

Yue Haojiang said, well, I will be in the third year of high school in the autumn.

Cheng Ziying said, I bought you a set of clothes in the East China Sea, take it out, you try it first, see if it fits.

As she spoke, Cheng Ziying got up, opened the suitcase, found a short-sleeved top with plaid and a pair of jeans that she bought for Yue Haojiang, and handed it to Yue Haojiang with a smile, Yue Haojiang took the clothes and said, Thank you, Sister Ziying. Then I went to the inner room to try on clothes.

Cheng Ziying then took out a floral middle-aged women's shirt from the box, handed it to Wang Sulan with a smile, and said, Auntie, this dress was bought for you, I don't know if you like it or not, how big is it?

Wang Sulan took the clothes with a smile, gestured on her body for a while, and said, Well, this dress is very good-looking, but you, the child, why do you spend all this money on that salary a month.

Cheng Ziying said, Auntie, it's okay, let me tell you good news, do you know how much our stock is making now? Your 50,000 yuan has now become more than 500,000 yuan, I am afraid that the family is short of money, this time I came to Jiangyang to bring you the capital of 50,000 yuan, and the rest of the money earned is still in the stock account.

When Wang Sulan heard Cheng Ziying say this, her eyes widened, she looked at Cheng Ziying in surprise, and asked, what? 50,000 yuan earned 500,000 yuan in more than half a year? Aren't you printing money?

Cheng Ziying smiled and replied, Auntie, it's true, I plan to turn the remaining 500,000 into 5 million in another year, and where you want to use money in the future, you can use it, our family is not short of money now.

Wang Sulan looked at Cheng Ziying with a little surprise and confusion, and asked, child, is it legal for us to earn this money? What kind of panic is the aunt you are talking about, how much money is enough? Let's live a peaceful life, as long as the whole family is safe, healthy, and happy, let's not do things that go against national policies.

Cheng Ziying said, Auntie, you can rest assured, we are all legal income, with this money, in the future, Haohan can also put his mind to work, be a good official who is not greedy or bribe, and do more good things for the people.

As he was talking, Yue Yulin and Deng Xuanchang walked into the courtyard from outside, and Deng Xuanchang shouted in the courtyard and asked, I heard that Ziying's child is here?

Hearing the voice, Cheng Ziying hurriedly got up and went out with Yue Haohan, Deng Xuanchang saw Cheng Ziying coming out of the hall, smiled, said hello, and said, Ziying, is it so far, are you tired on the road?

Cheng Ziying's face was slightly red and said, godfather, it's okay, not tired.

Then Cheng Ziying looked at Yue Yulin again and said, Hello uncle!

When everyone arrived at the hall, Wang Sulan was busy pouring tea, Yue Haojiang finished trying on clothes in the bedroom, took a book and came out to Cheng Ziying, saying, Sister Ziying, you are at home, I will go to the classroom.

Cheng Ziying smiled and asked, how do you feel after trying on the clothes? Does it fit?

Yue Haojiang said that it fits perfectly, just like tailor-made.

Cheng Ziying said, just fit, you go and learn.

After Yue Haojiang left, Cheng Ziying took out a gray short-sleeved shirt from the suitcase and handed it to Yue Yulin, saying, this dress was bought for my uncle, and I don't know the size of my godfather's and godmother's clothes, so I didn't buy it, and I will buy it another day when I have the opportunity.

After speaking, Cheng Ziying took out a pound of Tieguanyin tea from the box, handed it to Deng Xuanchang, and said, Godfather, this catty of Tieguanyin tea is for you, this is the high-grade new tea that was only listed this year by Boss Ye Yunqingye.

Then, Cheng Ziying took out another catty of Tieguanyin tea, handed it to Wang Sulan, and said, "Give it to your uncle and aunt to drink."

Cheng Ziying finished distributing all the items she brought to everyone, Wang Sulan pulled Cheng Ziying and said, girl, come and see the room, this is the room where your Chunfang and Chunxia sisters live, I simply cleaned up yesterday, you live in this room, our family is in such conditions, girl, don't be wronged.

Cheng Ziying picked up the suitcase, and followed Wang Sulan to Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia's room, although the room is not big, but the layout is very warm, full of girlish atmosphere, the supplies on the two beds are all brand new, on a small dresser by the window, the small belongings of Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia sisters are neatly placed, Cheng Ziying looked around the room, and said with a smile, Auntie, I feel that this room is so warmly decorated, I like it!

Wang Sulan said, girl, if you like it, your aunt is afraid of wronging you.

Cheng Ziying said, Auntie, I like it very much, this home is the same as I imagined.

Put down the suitcase, come out of the room, everyone sat in the living room and pulled homely things, chatting, at about three o'clock, Yue Haohan's pager received a message from Tao Chunxiao, saying that he would immediately pick up Yue Haohan from No. 1 Middle School, and accompany Ye Yunqing and his party in the afternoon.

Cheng Ziying said, vast, I'll go there in the afternoon, I'll go shopping with my aunt later, okay?

Yue Haohan smiled and said, Of course you can! You and your mother go shopping in the afternoon, but we are small in Jiangyang County, and there is nothing to go to, if you feel tired, you can rest at home.

In the afternoon, Yue Haohan and Tao Chunxiao accompanied Ye Yunqing, Fu Rongsheng, and Zhang Haiming to go around several small scenic spots around Jiangyang County, and then took a small fishing boat on the Yangjiang River to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Yangjiang River; Everyone didn't return to Yangjiang Hotel until more than six o'clock. In the hotel, Gu Zhengshan, secretary of the county party committee, Chen Guoyun, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Liu Guosheng, deputy head of the county party committee, and Song Fusheng, director of the county party committee office, and other Jiangyang officials were already waiting for everyone in the hotel.

The evening banquet was very lively, and it did not end until almost nine o'clock; After dinner, Gu Zhengshan called Yue Haohan, went to Professor Zhang Haiming's room, sat and greeted for a while, and said something innocuous and innocuous words, Yue Haohan next to him always felt that Gu Zhengshan seemed to have something to ask Zhang Haiming, but it was difficult to open his mouth to say it in front of Zhang Haiming.

After drinking tea for a while, Professor Zhang Haiming said to Yue Haohan, Haohan, you should take my graduate exam this year, I am signing up recently, I think your traditional cultural knowledge is there, and it is a bit of a loss if you don't build it deeply.

Yue Haohan said, Mr. Zhang, I also want to apply for the exam, but there are many things to do in the township, and I have just started work, so I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with your course if I fish for three days and dry nets for two days.

Gu Zhengshan answered at this time and said, vast, it is a good thing to continue your studies, you can't let go of such a good opportunity, don't worry, I'm here, try to do both work and study.

Gu Zhengshan paused, took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Haiming, and asked, Professor Zhang, I have always been interested in traditional culture, I have an idea, and I also want to learn traditional culture from you under your name, I don't know if I can do it at my age? If there is no strict age limit, I would like to sign up for your graduate school with Haohan, and when I go to the lectures, I will also take care of each other.

After Gu Zhengshan finished speaking, Yue Haohan finally understood in his heart that since Professor Zhang Haiming came to Jiangyang, Gu Zhengshan has always been respectful to Zhang Haiming, and it turned out that Gu Zhengshan was also thinking about studying Zhang Haiming's on-the-job graduate students.

After Gu Zhengshan finished speaking, Zhang Haiming smiled heartily and replied, Secretary Gu, no matter your age, if you are really interested in traditional culture, then you can sign up with Haohan, as long as you can pass the exam, I have no opinion; I hope you don't come to study for the sake of getting a master's degree and paving the way for your future promotion.

Zhang Haiming's straightforward words made Gu Zhengshan's face flush slightly, Gu Zhengshan originally liked the knowledge of traditional culture, but it was not enough for him to pay attention to Zhang Haiming's on-the-job graduate school.

Gu Zhengshan wants to study Zhang Haiming's on-the-job graduate student, first of all, he lacks confidence in his identity as a "worker, peasant and soldier" college student, and on the other hand, because Professor Zhang Haiming is a well-known professor in the Department of History of Jianghan University, and the Department of History is the trump card major of Jianghan University. In addition, there is a more important point that Gu Zhengshan understands very well that as long as he can become Zhang Haiming's student, he will naturally become a brother and sister relationship with Yue Haohan, Gu Zhengshan has a very strong feeling in his heart with his understanding of Yue Haohan, Yue Haohan's future is limitless, especially the powerful and incomprehensible background behind Yue Haohan, which makes Gu Zhengshan definitely think that Yue Haohan is not a person who has lived under people for a long time, although he is not young, he does not expect Yue Haohan to carry him in the future. But in the future, it is very likely that his children will need the help of someone like Yue Haohan. All kinds of ideas are mixed together, which makes Gu Zhengshan's recent on-the-job graduate student who wants to read Zhang Haiming very happy.

Seeing that Zhang Haiming had no obvious objection, Gu Zhengshan was very relieved, sat down for a while, and then got up to say goodbye. Yue Haohan sent Gu Zhengshan to the elevator of the hotel and said, Secretary Gu, then you go home and rest first, and I will sit here for a while with Teacher Zhang.

Gu Zhengshan said, okay, vast, you have a few kind words in front of Professor Zhang, I hope to be able to work with you, and we will study for graduate school under Professor Zhang's name.

After Gu Zhengshan left, Yue Haohan turned back to the room, and after closing the door of the room, Zhang Haiming asked, Haohan, how is your character as Secretary Gu? Do you understand?

Yue Haohan said, from my contact with him and my observation, Secretary Gu's quality is still good. In my opinion, as long as a leader can keep the interests of the masses in mind, it means that the person's quality is okay.

Zhang Haiming said, vast, but how do I think he wants to study my on-the-job graduate school, a little speculative in his heart; One wants to be a real achiever. We must get rid of the "speculative" mentality and pay attention to our own character cultivation.

Yue Haohan said, Mr. Zhang, I understand, maybe Secretary Gu feels that his "worker, peasant and soldier" university is a little unconfident, plus he may really like the knowledge of traditional culture, I think, the most important thing is that you are too famous, he wants to study under you, this is also normal and understandable.

Zhang Haiming said, vast, as long as his quality is good, I will consider it, I have been a teacher for so many years, you should know me; I pay the most attention to people's morality, especially we study traditional culture people, a person's moral character is very important, I always believe that a gentleman should pay attention to the cultivation of character, moral character is the highest property of a person's life, it constitutes the status and identity of a person itself, it is all the property of a person in terms of reputation. Good character will make every branch and leaf in the society become glory, so that every post in the society will be inspired. The strength of one's character, which is more powerful than wealth, which secures all glory without prejudice. More than anything else, a person's strength of character affects the trust and respect that others have for him.

Yue Haohan said, Teacher Zhang, I have memorized these words of yours.

Zhang Haiming said, vast, you must know that even if a person is not well educated, has average ability, and has a small income, as long as his character is noble, he will also have a greater influence and win the respect of the world. Honesty, integrity, and kindness, these qualities are not closely related to every person's life, but they become the most important aspects of a person's character. As an ancient man said, "Even if there is little food and clothing, character is inherently faithful to its virtues." "A person with this quality, once he is integrated with a firm purpose, can be earth-shattering and overwhelming. Vastly, the teacher hopes that you will be such a person, and you should take having a good character as one of your highest goals in life.

Yue Haohan said, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I know that in real life, everyone has ideals and pursuits, and there are only a few people who have no ideals to pursue and live a chaotic life, but there are many people who do not pay attention to self-cultivation. Once a person's ideal pursuit contradicts his own thoughts, knowledge, and abilities, he will inevitably hit a wall in real life and even be eliminated by society. Many people feel that they are not talented and cynical, it may be that the society has buried him, or he may not really be virtuous and talented, but he has relaxed his cultivation and requirements, has great ambitions and is sparse in talent, or naïve and fragile, and treats the contradictions and setbacks in life, lacking the ability to adapt, bear and deal with them on the spot.

Zhang Haiming said, vast, you can understand this level, I am very gratified, in the modern competitive society, a successful person in the township, still to self-cultivation as the foundation, it is very important to improve their own quality in an all-round way. Especially if you are in the officialdom, with the increase of status and power in the future, self-cultivation is more important, a virtuous official, the bigger his official, the heavier the power in his hands, the greater the harm to the society, so the enlightened monarch in ancient times would rather reuse the virtuous and untalented people, rather than use the talented and unvirtuous people

The teacher and the student chatted late in the room, Yue Haohan said goodbye and went home, and when he left, Yue Haohan said to Zhang Haiming, Teacher Zhang, how about I pick up a few of you tomorrow morning to go to my house for the Dragon Boat Festival?

Zhang Haiming said, you can accompany your girlfriend at home tomorrow morning, we won't go, the secretaries of the county party committee will definitely come over tomorrow morning, we can't leave, you can come back after breakfast.
