Chapter 22: Thoughts
Gong Baorou's internship at the Haicheng Hotel was sued by Zhao Xiuxiu about Liu Yingai, and then the whole family knew about it. The next night, at the dinner table, Lin Zhishen suddenly spoke: "What has Arou been busy with lately?" โ
Gong Baorou was stunned for a moment, and said with a light smile: "I found a job in the summer vacation and want to exercise more." โ
Liu Yingai couldn't help but say, "It's in Haicheng Hotel, right?" That's a big hotel in Haicheng, Arou is really amazing. โ
Gong Baorou couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She knew that Zhao Xiuxiu would definitely support her, but she didn't know what Liu Yingai's attitude was, and now listening to Liu Yingai's words, she was also relieved. This is a family, able to tolerate each other and understand each other.
"There's nothing wrong with being a chef, at least it's a craft, and it will be of great help to your later life." Lin Zhishen is a well-mannered man, and he speaks slowly and logically, without being impatient.
"I just hope that Arou can live a healthy and happy life." Zhao Xiuxiu touched Gong Baorou's head, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Arou is still not good for a girl in the back kitchen." โ
Gong Baorou wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she still didn't speak, just a little gloomy.
Zhao Xiuxiu is a married woman, so naturally it has nothing to do with it. Gong Baorou is a girl, in the back kitchen, she really knows how to attract people, even her mother doesn't think so?
After dinner, Gong Baorou read a book in her room. When she was reborn, her biggest reliance was not only on her abilities, but also on experience. The experience of a fifteen-year-old cannot be compared with that of a twenty-five or thirty-five-year-old, and the more people I have seen, the more things I have experienced, and the more I think. Gong Baorou learned the importance of knowledge when she was in her twenties without a diploma and when she was old. Living to learn is not just a casual thing to deceive the world. What she has in her hand now is a book of miscellaneous conversations, telling the stories of some chefs and the origin of some words, off-the-beaten-path, but interesting.
"Tuk-tuk." Three gentle knocks on the door interrupted her thoughts, Gong Baorou got up to open the door, and it was Lin Shuping standing outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Gong Baorou turned sideways and let Lin Shuping in, then moved a chair over, and sat on the bed by herself.
Lin Shuping sat quite upright, his back straight, and he looked very strict.
The two of them sat wordless for dozens of seconds, and Lin Shuping spoke first.
"You...... You cut your hair yesterday, don't you like long hair? โ
Gong Baorou touched the end of her hair, because it was short hair, it was a little warped. She smiled helplessly: "Although I like it, I have to cut my hair short as a chef, otherwise it will be very troublesome." "Compared to long hair, she doesn't care about her dream of being a chef.
Lin Shuping's hands were crossed on his laps, looking a little more majestic in the future, and he lowered his eyes and asked, "Do you like to be a chef?" โ
"Well, I love it, it's my dream." Gong Baorou said with a smile, her heart was suddenly a little dull, she continued, but she was a little dazed, "My father is a chef, and my mother also lives by cooking, I can't think of anything else to do besides cooking." I met a teacher who said I was very talented in cooking, so I wanted to be a chef. โ
Both of them were silent for a moment, Gong Baorou laughed, and changed the topic stiffly: "What about you?" What do you want to do in the future? In Gong Baorou's view, Lin Shuping has a calm personality and a long-term vision, and he must have planned for his future a long time ago.
"I ......" Lin Shuping hesitated, but still said, "I want to be a doctor." After thinking about it, I still added a suffix, "Chinese medicine." โ
"Chinese medicine?" Gong Baorou was really a little surprised, she remembered that Lin Shuping ended up in business, "Then why don't you tell your uncle?" He wouldn't object to you studying medicine, would he? โ
Although Lin Zhishen doesn't often care about the Lin brothers, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love them, he is even very accommodating to them, maybe he feels guilty because he is too busy with work.
Lin Shuping's face suddenly appeared a little embarrassed: "My father didn't stop me from studying medicine, and we also consulted the teacher." Gong Baorou suddenly felt that there was a โกโก, and she didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, but now she had to know the answer.
"I ...... I can't remember the acupuncture points. Lin Shuping couldn't grind her, so he could only give up and say, "Although I remembered it at the time, I quickly forgot it after one night at most, and I still couldn't remember all the acupuncture points completely after three months, and the teacher said that I didn't have the talent to study medicine." โ
How could it be?! Gong Baorou wanted to laugh a little, but felt sympathy for him. I wanted to study Chinese medicine but found that I couldn't remember the acupuncture points, which is the same as when she was a chef and found that she couldn't remember the names of every ingredient, right?
"If I had to continue studying medicine, I might not be able to achieve anything in my life, so I decided to give up." There was no frustration in Lin Shuping's voice, but Gong Baorou knew that he must have had no choice but to be helpless. Imagine how painful it would be if you were forced to give up your dream of becoming a chef, and would you have the despair of having your life's wish shattered? It's scary to think about.
"What I want to tell you is that many people can't realize their dreams for various reasons, so when you have the conditions to achieve it, you must not give up." Lin Shuping looked directly at Gong Baorou, "As long as you think for yourself and don't give up, I believe you can." โ
Gong Baorou's eyes widened, a little incredulous. It turned out that all his expressions at the table were seen by him? His determination to become a chef, and the gloom caused by his mother's words, were all remembered in his eyes! That's why he knocked on her door at night, you must know that in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Shuping almost didn't come to her; That's why he told his story, even at the expense of exposing his embarrassment and regret and helplessness buried in his heart! It's all about comforting her and encouraging her!
Gong Baorou forced herself to look away, not daring to look at those bright eyes.
She didn't believe that Lin Shuping would say such a thing to a person who might as well be in her heart, so what did he think of her? Family? Still is......
Gong Baorou was taken aback by her last guess. She knew that Lin Shuping had different feelings for her, could it be so early? Now she is only fifteen years old, she looks average, has an introverted personality, does not like to talk, and does not have the cheerfulness and liveliness of girls of the same age, so she can also get his heart?
"IโI know, thank you." Gong Baorou stammered, I don't know why I felt a little ashamed in my heart, and my face was a little hot, and the small room that I didn't feel was a little suffocating. Sure enough, my mind changed, and so did my feelings. Gong Baorou stood up suddenly, her fists clenched tightly, and her palms felt slippery.
Stop! My mental age is already thirty or forty, how can I be confused because of a sixteen-year-old teenager! Gong Baorou's cranky thoughts made her brain completely a mess. She wasn't a smart person in the first place, she was the same and still is.
"It's late, I'm going to sleep." made an excuse indiscriminately, Gong Baorou just wanted to send this great god away.
Lin Shuping was not an aggressive person, even though he knew that this was an excuse, he didn't say anything, just got up and said goodnight. Gong Baorou replied a few words and closed the door.
"Go to bed early."
The very soft sound quickly dissipated into the air, and the people who hurriedly closed the door did not know if they heard it. Lin Shuping walked upstairs with a deep gaze.
