Chapter 34: About Dreams
Ouyang Lan got into Qiao Bin's car and looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, she knew that Qiao Bin would take her to see Grandpa Qiao.
"It's not a weekend."
What Ouyang Lan said was a declarative sentence, but the meaning of the inquiry was naturally contained in it.
"Grandpa asked us to go back to dinner, and Grandpa Zhang was there."
Ouyang Lan "Oh"
sighed and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
Unconsciously, it has been almost a year since she came to City A, and she was dizzy when she got in the car, and now she has learned to ride in the car, and she suddenly found that some things that she thought she was born with and thought could not be changed have changed imperceptibly.
I remember that in the nature class of junior high school, the teacher said that people with motion sickness are more sensitive because the boat in front of her ears is more sensitive, so for a while, she would wear headphones when she was in the car and listen to songs, which seemed to have improved a little, and it seemed that it had not changed.
But in the days when she stepped into City A, she actually learned to ride in a car, as long as the road is not very bumpy, as long as the road conditions are not very congested, she can sit in the car without changing her face, and she can reach her destination safe and sound.
It's like the people around me who get along day and night, and suddenly leave, it's really a little unaccustomed.
Yes, Ouyang Lan misses Zhang Zhibo very much, wants to know what he is doing on the other side of the ocean at this time, wants to know his return date, and wants to hear about him.
The car drove smoothly into Qiao's villa, Qiao Guoan and Zhang Junping were playing chess in the yard, and when they saw Ouyang Lan and Qiao Bin coming over, they hurriedly greeted, "Binbin, come, accompany your grandfather Zhang to play chess, Zhang Lao, my old bones are a little unable to sit still, borrow your girl to accompany me to the garden for a walk." ”
Qiao Bin happily sat down in Qiao Guoan's place, "Grandpa Zhang, you have to let me order." ”
Zhang Junping raised his eyes to look at him, "Old Qiao, if this kid wins me today, you can make him a wish." ”
Qiao Guoan, who was on the side, agreed with a smile.
"Really, grandpa, you have to talk the talk."
Qiao Bin was very excited about Zhang Zhibo asking for conditions for him in front of Qiao Guoan.
"With your grandfather Zhang as a witness, I'm afraid that my old man won't be able to cheat."
After speaking, Qiao Guoan greeted Ouyang Lan on the side, "Come, girl, accompany Grandpa Qiao for a walk." ”
Ouyang Lan hurriedly took Qiao Guoan's arm obediently.
"Girl, do you have a dream?"
Walking on a path full of sunflowers, Qiao Guoan suddenly asked.
"Yes, I want to have a stable job in the future, have a house, it doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to have floor-to-ceiling windows, and then on a winter afternoon, the warm sun shines in, boils a pot of flower tea, and reads a novel."
Ouyang Lan depicts the life of her dreams in simple language.
"Girl, you are the life of an old man, you are still young, what you need is struggle, not pleasure."
"But grandpa, that's the life I dreamed of, I don't need too much money, I don't need fame and power, I just want to be simple."
"Then do you know what Binbin's dream is?"
Ouyang Lan shook her head, she suddenly realized that she had been living in her own world, and she really didn't know much about Qiao Bin.
"He wanted to be a famous doctor, and he insisted on applying for the medical department despite his parents' opposition, and for this reason, he reached an agreement with his parents."
Ouyang Lan looked at his slow progress and listened carefully to Qiao Guoan's statement, "If he can get an offer from a higher university abroad before graduation, then they will support him to continue to study medicine, if he can't do it, then he will have to give up medicine and start business." ”
"Then has Brother Qiao Bin got it now?"
Qiao Guoan nodded, "I got it, and there was more than one, but he hesitated." ”
"Why?"
"Girl, smart as you are, can't you guess the reason?"
Qiao Guoan sat down on a bench by the lake.
"Girl, grandpa knows that where you grew up, there is no deceit, no vicious competition, and the people around you are content with their own happiness and will not covet the happiness of others, so you have created this indifferent you now. However, one day, you will grow up, and you will find that life is far from being as simple as you think, and you will find that there are some things that you can't help and you have to choose to fight for. You're not like girls who grew up in big cities, because they've seen the brutality of competition since they were young, so they're going to try to get what they want. What you appreciate politely is your indifference. However, have you ever thought that one day, you too will be assimilated by this city. ”
For a long time, Ouyang Lan always thought that the happiness she wanted was very simple, however, under Qiao Guoan's bloody analysis, she suddenly found that the so-called happiness was really difficult and difficult.
In this competitive society, if you stagnate, you will only be eliminated.
She doesn't know if she will become like Li Mengdi after many years, and will do whatever it takes for herself.
