Chapter 08: Motherhood
"Toot ......"
Ding Li listened to the sound of "beep" on the other end of the phone, and was quite excited, he called his parents to tell him that he had found a job. Let them rest assured that although they still owe rent, they will be guaranteed a financial source if they have a job.
In the past, Ding Li always called his parents every weekend to ask if they were well. Sometimes he is wronged, and he likes to call his parents to chat, and every time his parents always ask for warmth, which makes him feel a lot better.
This habit lasted from the time he started using his mobile phone until he graduated. Came to Shenzhen alone, struggling for work, he didn't call his parents for almost two months.
It's not that he doesn't miss his parents, but he's afraid that he will leak out. If you let your parents know that they don't even have a job, how sad they should be.
He has always been the pride of his parents and a good example in the village. They all praised their parents for raising a pair of good children, who were not only filial and sensible, but also excellent in learning. No matter how poor his family is, this is enough to silence those who look down on his family.
Because he excelled in his studies, everyone paid attention to him. Some people always say that their parents and their sons should enjoy happiness after graduation. But in fact, Ding Li didn't let his parents enjoy Qingfu, and he didn't even find a job.
This kind of thing must not be known to my parents, otherwise, my parents will be extremely sad.
"Hey, is it Ali?" On the other end of the phone, a slightly choked voice came from the mother and asked, Ding Li's heart suddenly became sore, and he almost shed tears.
He adjusted his mood a little and shouted with a smile: "Mom, it's me!" How are you doing? ”
"I'm not the same as before, Ali, how are you doing? It's been two months, and I haven't made a phone call back. Your father and I want to call you, but we're afraid to disturb you. ”
Ding Li's heart almost collapsed, but he endured it and didn't let his feelings be around, "Mom, don't worry!" It's not that you don't know, your son is amazing, I am working smoothly now, and the leader values me very much. ”
"That's good, Ali, if life is not good outside, you can come back and take a civil service exam or something. You look at other people's civil servants, the work is easy and stable......"
"Mom, I'm young and have my own dreams. It's not that civil servants are bad, but I prefer the vast world outside. Ding Li had already expected that every time his parents called, he would nagging him to go back to the civil service exam.
Because parents are feudal traditional thoughts, learning and excellence are the same old ideas.
In order to decide whether to go back to the civil service examination, Ding Li and his parents have "communicated" again and again. Stubborn, he chose a distant place, through thick and thin, without hesitation.
"Every time I talk about you, you always have your statement, you don't look at it, the next door neighbor's Ah Mao, everyone is married. I gave birth to a big fat son last month, and you read so much that you still ......"
Ding Li knew what his mother was worried about, and every time he called, his mother always had to talk about two things: taking the civil service exam and marrying a daughter-in-law.
Then it was compared with the cats and dogs in the village, and these things came from his mother's mouth again and again, which made Ding Li a little frizzy.
But Ding Li would not be angry with his mother, so he had to interrupt his mother's words and said decisively: "Mom, if I compare with Ah Mao, then what are you and Dad doing when you send me to college?" I've been studying hard for nearly 20 years, isn't that in vain? I have my ideals, at the moment, I am inferior to others, but in the future, I will definitely get ahead. ”
"Alas, Ali, it's not my mom and I'm verbose, your father and I are old. You yourself are no longer eighteen years old, and you always have to think about your life's work. ”
Ding Li said "um", "Mom, don't worry, I know." By the way, what about Dad? How is he? ”
"It's all the same, I have old bone hyperplasia, sometimes my hands and feet are numb, and I have to wait a long time before I can move. Your father's lumbar disc herniation is also painful from time to time. But all get used to it, you don't have to worry about us. ”
Ding Li listened to his mother's story, and was stabbed into the heart by someone, and these old problems of his parents have tormented his parents for many years. However, his parents have never given up, and they are always working hard for him and his sister Ding Lin.
The years are like a carving knife, cutting across the faces of my parents and leaving traces of vicissitudes.
The burden bent my parents' waist pole heavily, and my parents no longer looked as "majestic" as before, and they grew old day by day. And Ding Li deeply felt that the speed at which he made money was far behind the aging of his parents.
"Mom, you and Dad pay more attention to your body, and don't do some heavy work anymore." Ding Li said with a little choked up.
"Got it, hehe, Ali, you're out alone, you have to know how to take care of yourself, don't eat too badly. If you don't have enough clothes to wear, you buy new ones, and if you don't have money, you call back. Your father and I will find a way for you to send you some. ”
Ding Li listened to these heart-warming words, only parents in the world will pay for their children regardless of returns, and they only worry about whether their children are well fed and warmly dressed, and they have never considered themselves.
This kind of love is incomparable. It's the greatest.
"Mom, I will, I'm already working. There is a salary, and there is basically no problem. You and Dad should also take care of your health, and I'll call you again when I'm free. ”
"Well, okay, you go get busy!"
Ding Li put down his phone and sat on the edge of the bed limp as he could no longer bear the tears pouring out of his eyes.
Who said that men don't flick when they have tears? Unless you are hard-hearted, no one can hold back their tears. He was unbridled in tears, but he also secretly swore in his heart: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my high hopes, I will definitely break out of the world, and I will definitely get ahead." I won't let you live a hard life again. ”
Then I thought that now I have the memory of "Ding Li of the Two Worlds", so isn't Ding Li, a disciple of Xuanzong in Longchen Continent, a strong martial artist? And the cultivation is at least at the yellow level.
From the perspective of Xuanzong's cultivation system, the levels are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, with the Heavenly Level being the highest and the Yellow Level being the lowest. If the heart of death can allow him to practice the exercises, maybe he can still reach the heaven-level cultivation, then, who will compete with him in the city?
If you can really practice the exercises and practice supreme martial arts, then I am afraid that it will be harmless to your career. Because in Shenshi, a place full of copper smell, people come from all over the world, which can be described as a mixture.
For the sake of the struggle for interests, it is inevitable that there will be some friction and disputes. Although the world is no longer dominated by fists and feet, having special abilities can be a great addition to a career, or rather, can accelerate the pace of success.
After thinking about it like this, Ding Li became extremely interested in whether the heart of immortality could cultivate the Xuanzong exercises. This is a blue ocean worth deepening, as long as you have special abilities and can swim in the bustling city, then success will not be far away.
