Chapter Seventy-Seven: The End of the World is at Hand

If you want to go up to a tall building to avoid sorrow, worry will go up to a tall building with me.

After several changes, how many relatives and friends have lost their heads!

Go to retirement, go to retirement, and if you are not sincere, you will always be a marquis.

The source of the floating cloud is uncertain, and it is like a floating cloud and free.

The atmosphere was very warm, compared to Sister Yongqing and Brother Ji Hu, and Aunt Wang's "Twilight Banquet" could not be compared.

Brother Dai's colleagues were extremely active, and let a couple perform various programs during the banquet. Especially a sister with a hot figure is particularly noisy, and there are many endless tricks. Wu Lao, who was sitting next to me, lowered his head several times, presumably sighing secretly at the young man now.

In this situation, I am not particularly adaptable, I can't really fit in, I just look at the occasional smile, embarrassed to follow. As an elder, Elder Wu is of course very serious on this occasion, but he doesn't seem to be angry, and he is obviously an old man who is open.

His eyes were seldom focused on the scene, and whenever he had spare time, he kept talking to me.

There was a lot of noise at the scene, and there was not much conversation, but after listening to a few words, I also roughly understood the intention, it turned out that he was curious about Uncle Cao's treatment of Sister Xu Yang, needless to say, it must have been Sister Yun Ruo who told him.

Wu Lao expressed great interest in the miraculous Chinese medicine applied by Cao Bo, and the content of the conversation was always revolving around this matter, and after being asked, there were many fewer opportunities to peek at the show.

By the time the song ended, he was still unsatisfied, and it seemed that he still had a lot to ask.

At this time, Yunxi came over and picked me up and accompanied a couple to see off the guests. When everyone was almost gone, Wu Lao still sat still. Director Yu invited him to go with him, saying that he was old and wanted to sit and rest for a while.

Sister Yun Ruo and Brother Xiangcheng sat down again, it seems that the two of them are not tired, at this time, the newcomer is like a doll, at the mercy of others, especially Sister Yun Ruo, and...

"Yun Ruo, I want to invite this young man to my house to sit down, you have no opinion."

Du Yunruo smiled and didn't squeak, her own mentor and leader, she only wanted me to make up my own mind. Listening to Wu Lao's conversation, he must have been quite fond of it, he must be a person who is obsessed with business, so I agreed without thinking: "I'm afraid of causing trouble to you." โ€

"Where, it's my old man who doesn't know the current affairs and bothers you young people. If you don't have an opinion, then I'm going to take them away. He looked at the people around him again.

Yun Xi didn't understand how this old man could be so interested in me. But they didn't invite her, and they didn't know what to say, so they just watched me be taken away.

"I'll ask Elder Wu some questions, and I'll be back in a while." Comforted her softly

"Then you go, I'll wait for you." Yun Xi didn't say much.

Wu Lao grabbed my hand and walked out, Yun Xi muttered softly to Yun Ruo behind him: "It seems that I can't go back today." โ€

๏ผŠ๏ผŠ๏ผŠ๏ผŠ๏ผŠ๏ผŠ

On the way to Wu's hometown, I asked curiously, "Elder Wu, why did you take off your burden at such a young age?" โ€

I have the impression that many specialists do not necessarily retire even after reaching the age of 70. With his age, it is never an exaggeration to be 60 years old in the position of director. Judging by everyone's respect for him, it doesn't seem that he was forced to come down for other reasons.

"Haha, you're still curious, I want to know why?" I quickly nodded.

"It's very simple, Zihan is something I have grown up watching, and I have the courage, ability, and means to develop faster with the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, which has been proven in the past two years. As for me, I was not too enthusiastic about these administrative matters, so I strongly recommended him to take my place. Someone can take on the burden, so I can concentrate more on the business, and this kind of life is more enjoyable. The Zihan in his mouth wants to be Director Yu.

It seems easy to listen to his tone, but it's not something that just anyone can do. Most people in the world are for fame and profit, and what kind of mind is needed to automatically give up the hot leadership position. The admiration for Wu Lao can't help but mention a new height, and the image in my eyes is getting taller and taller.

His house was very large, and his home was rather messy, and there seemed to be a lack of cleaning, which gave me a feeling of coldness.

"Old Wu, why don't you see your family?"

"Oh, I've always been alone." He replied casually.

was embarrassed, blaming himself for speaking out of proportion. I can't imagine that this seemingly enlightened old man is living alone, I don't know if he has no close relatives, or is he not around? I drew a question mark in my heart, but I didn't want to ask again.

"Young people, don't be restrained, I like to have something to say, I've been alone for so many years, I'm used to it. Seeing that I kept staring at him and listening to him, "What, is it strange? Indeed, I have never married or had children. โ€

"How so?" In a hurry, driven by curiosity, I didn't care about what I said. With Wu Lao's demeanor, even at his current age, it should not be difficult to find a good woman to be his spouse.

"Hey!" The old man let out a long sigh and groaned for a long time, as if he was looking for words to answer.

"Uncle Wu, don't say it if it's inconvenient to answer. It's all to blame for the little nephew's mouth. Looking at his appearance, for some reason, I suddenly felt a strong sympathy in my heart, seeing that he was about the same age as my father, and his title also changed unconsciously.

"Okay, it's good, it's much more comfortable than that bite of Wu Laoke. Since you called uncle, I won't hide it anymore. If you want to know, I'll tell you about it. I haven't said this to anyone in years. After saying that, he let out another long sigh.

"When I was young, I was as high-spirited as you are now..."

Uncle Wu's narration brought me into the passing of time, and with his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, my heart also fluctuated.

His appearance back then seemed to be right in front of him, he was still elegant at his current age, and he must have been majestic and heroic back then, I don't know how many young girls would fall for it.

"Our family is also a scholarly family, two brothers and sisters, I have good grades since I was a child, I started to leave home to go to school alone when I was a teenager, and then I rarely went home. I have traveled many places, and when I was less than 30 years old, I completed my doctorate in pharmacy abroad. After returning to China, he traveled for many years, and finally worked in his current unit.

I have walked a lot of places, and I have met many people of all kinds. The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, how can he not have a good woman? There have been a few girls who have had a good relationship with me. Oh, and they're all old women now, too. โ€

Uncle Wu smiled a little bitterly: "There is a girl from a foreign country who is also very fond of me, and chased me back to China from abroad, and stayed for three years. Young man, you don't know yet, there were very few strangers who could enter our country at that time, and she didn't know how much trouble it took to come in!

To be honest, the three girls are very exciting to me, and it is difficult to choose. Because of this, and for some other reasons, I kept putting it off and going around, and I didn't settle down with anyone.

Shaohua passed away, and in the end, they couldn't hold on anymore, and finally left me one by one, and the girl from Europe also returned to China alone sadly. Hey, they're all good girls!

Since then, I have never been attracted to other girls, and I have been living alone until now. When it comes to feelings, it's really exciting, and I can only bury myself in the pile of words and paper in order to get rid of it.

Young man, I really regret it when I think about it now, even if I left them by my side, even if I was not understood, I was always better than this age or alone, and there was no one around me to talk to, regret it!

I'd rather stay in the house with my children than go home and be lonely. But what can be done now? At this point, he smiled bitterly.

"The media also made a big fuss about this, saying that Wu someone is bent on research, I don't want to go home, I am afraid of being lonely. There is no interest in anything, only research.

Later, my father died, although it wasn't because of me, but I was really shameless to go underground in the future. My only sibling sister is thousands of miles away, and my old mother lives with her, and once in a few years she goes to see me, and the old man gets angry when she sees me. When she became ill, my sister called and cried, and she didn't dare to let me visit easily, for fear that the stimulation would aggravate her condition. What's the use of sending some money from time to time?

Fortunately, they live happily, and they have no worries. In the past two years, my niece, who went to university in Beijing, sometimes came to visit me, and I was very happy.

Child, some things seem to be your personal problems, but in fact they involve a wide range of things. โ€

After saying this, Uncle Wu raised his head, and if he was old, there were tears faintly flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and wiped his eyes: "Kid, I made you laugh." By the way, your surname is quite rare, I still remember your name, and I am quite close to you, you call you uncle, I will call you Yicheng, okay? โ€

"Good!" With his identity, he asked so humbly, suppressed the faint sadness, and was full of promises.

The story is very long, and he only talked about it in general terms, and many of the processes are not detailed, but I know that there must be many unknown experiences in it, and it is inconvenient to tell me about them. The sadness in it is afraid that only his own heart can comprehend it.

Uncle Wu's experience reminded me of my current situation, and I was not in a difficult situation. Looking at his sad appearance, it is a lesson from the past, can history repeat itself again?

I shook my head and opened my heart to accept all this, and I was not ashamed of the good life. To hell with any secular ideas.

"Yicheng, do you think I'm quite pitiful?" He looked at me and shook his head, and he didn't understand what was moving.

It's hard to answer, and it's not good to answer, not even worse.

"Okay, don't ask. You're a good kid, and from you, I vaguely see a glimpse of my youth. If you are big, you will be treated as a junior. Take my lesson to heart, and don't let it be a good year. You must be successful in your career, and you can't be sloppy emotionally. Remember, 'It is not terrible to be old, but it is the saddest thing when the heart is dead.' โ€

"Mourning is greater than heart death", the summary of the words, made my heart tense for a while, this kind of lesson is bought back with tears and long-term loneliness. No wonder he stepped down from the leadership position at such a "young age" and devoted himself to the business as one aspect.

"Don't talk about this, it will make you sad, it's not good for children to listen to this unpleasant topic. Let's talk about the miraculous Chinese medicine that can cure the broken fracture of the surname, where did I go. โ€

As soon as he talked about medicine, his mood immediately improved, and his spirit came.

He recounted the incident in detail, adding a lot of his own opinions. Because of the importance of the matter, I was extra attentive, especially during the period when Sister Xu Yang was in bed, she read a lot of books, read a lot of information, and memorized it, and the relevant knowledge was relatively rich. In fact, since Uncle Cao gave me medicine, I have been paying attention to it.

Hearing this, Uncle Wu nodded frequently and appreciated it. My understanding is that in the eyes of professionals, of course, there will be many deficiencies. He refused to let go at all, and pointed out anything wrong at any time.

It's good to admire, and what Dong has written down in a notebook, it seems that he doesn't know anything he doesn't know, and he analyzes it more thoroughly. You must know that I can memorize so much, it is by my own supernatural brain power, and it may take others months to memorize things in a day, but he relies on the usual accumulation.

"Great. The folk are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, I should really re-acquaint myself, it seems that although the West is developed, our nation has many treasures to be discovered. If you have a chance in the future, you must introduce me to this Brother Cao, what a strange person. Uncle Wu sighed.

"Although it's magical, it's a little troublesome, Uncle Wu, if the application can be simpler, say yes." I also like to drill the horns sometimes.

In fact, I have been stuffy in my heart for a long time, and this time I met such a persistent expert, of course, I have to put it forward in one go.

"Good idea." Uncle Wu praised, "It's just that it will be more difficult to implement." There are not many good Chinese medicine formulas that can be truly transferred to clinical application for simple and simple application. He thinks from the perspective of a researcher.

"I don't think it's just a technical problem." The key to the matter is that many good formulas are in the hands of individual people, and whether they are willing to take them out for research is a problem, so there are fewer relevant research methods.

There are many researchers who secretly buy Chinese medicine prescriptions prepared by others and analyze and study them, but in the end, they always return in vain. The holders of these recipes have also exhausted various methods in order to prevent "piracy". The more common thing is to add a few irrelevant herbs, and this formula will naturally not have any results if it is studied.

I think if we can get the recipe right, then a good research method can be successful. I looked at websites at home and abroad, and found a few ways that I thought were good.

When he told him one by one, Uncle Wu seemed to be very sincere at this time, and the more he talked, the more passionate he became, and when he discussed the problem, he didn't think about the difference between young and old, any insiders and laymen. Some methods are more interesting, while others are useless. After talking like this for a long time, Uncle Wu enjoyed it, and I gained a lot.

In the end, I finally reached a consensus and asked for a "gentleman's agreement": if I had the right recipe, Uncle Wu would help me.

With such an expert willing to help, how can he be unhappy, of course, it depends on what Uncle Cao means, and the decision-making power is in his hands.

Discussing problems with Uncle Wu is really time-consuming, and it is also very brain-developing.

Seeing that it was not early, he opened his mouth and asked, "Yicheng, can you have dinner with me?" โ€

"Where did my uncle come from, with you, I can't ask for it." After a heart-to-heart conversation, I felt that I was a lot closer to him, and it seemed to be very cordial. Sometimes the distance between people is shortened, and it is often just a matter of a moment.

Seeing that I agreed, Uncle Wu got up and went inside. I sat and waited to see what kind of tricks this single old nobleman could come up with, and took advantage of this time to make a phone call to Yunxi, saying that I would accompany her after dinner.

Yun Xi didn't say anything, she was walking around with her sister and brother-in-law, and she didn't plan to go back for dinner. I'm afraid that Brother Dai's brothers and sisters will make trouble again at night, which will make Sister Yun Ruo unbearable. She just told me to go back early, it was boring to listen to the sound. It seems that it is quite boring to accompany a couple of newcomers.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I saw that Uncle Wu had already come out of it, and sat down again to chat with me for a long time. I think it's a little strange, it can't be so real that you just invite me to porridge.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door, and it turned out to be a food delivery.

The little old man really has a way, and he actually used this kind of trick, and it seems that this cooking skill will not be much better.

After setting the plate, he turned around and took a bottle of liquor: "Yicheng, accompany me to drink two sips." โ€

The old and the young have lost the order of the young and the young, and they drink happily. It can be seen that Uncle Wu is very happy, but he doesn't drink much every time, and only takes a small sip of the small cup, which is more to my liking.

But because of this, the battle line was very long, and I talked more than I ate during dinner, and I understood why some people eat together from noon to evening. There was nothing to say, so the old and young casually started a family routine.

When I talked about the small city where my home was located, Uncle Wu's eyes suddenly widened with some alcohol: "Huh? I've been there, it's a beautiful city, and my sister's family lives there? โ€

"There's such a thing? Uncle Wu, what a coincidence. "The world is so small, I can't help but sigh, I can't help but hold his hand tightly.

"You came out of a place, you are also in college in Beijing, and you are also a sophomore, maybe you still know my niece." After pondering for a long time, Uncle Wu asked again.

"Your niece?"

"That's right, Tingting."

"Jiang Tingting??" I can't believe this coincidence, that's right, Tingting's mother is also surnamed Wu.

Uncle Wu nodded earnestly.

I can't express this kind of surprise in words, just now I sighed that the world is too small, and now it seems that it is not only small, it is simply ... In comparison, people in this world seem to live in Cao Yu's small mountain village, where chickens and dogs smell each other, and they can smell each other's fragrances when cooking.

"Do you know Tingting?"

"Of course, we're good friends." I've never heard of her uncle here.

Speaking of Jiang Tingting, Uncle Wu talked more, he had never married a wife and had children, so he naturally loved this niece. Especially in the past two years, Tingting went to college, and the two cities are not far apart, and after coming to see him a few times, this uncle likes it even more.

"My niece is good, smart, and beautiful, and you don't have that idea of her?" After drinking some wine and having a common topic, Uncle Wu seemed to be more open-minded, quite disrespectful.

"Wellโ€”" I was a little embarrassed, and I didn't know how to answer. Tingting has a good relationship with me, I..."

"Hey-" Taking advantage of the wine, Uncle Wu lost his scholarly demeanor, "Looking at your kid's appearance, you know that there are girls around you, but our Tingting is also a good girl in a hundred, if you like it, you like it, so why stick to..."

As he was saying this, there was a soft knock on the door.
