Chapter Twenty-Four: Wuhan

After dinner, Chen Mo specially left a big bowl of haggis soup for Grandma Wuhan, plus a small bowl of mixed noodles and a small plate of green vegetables, and asked Wuhan to send it back to his grandmother.

But before they could clean up their things, he turned back and helped clean up the table and sweep the floor. If Aunt Hu hadn't insisted on refusing, he would have almost gone into the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

When Aunt Hu finished the hygiene, he carried the garbage in one hand and helped his mother back with the other. "Come over when you send your mother back, I'll send you back to school."

Uhan turned and nodded, and then continued walking.

Chen Yizhou looked at the backs of their mother and son and sighed: "This Wuhan is really good, Aunt Hu will enjoy his blessings in the future." ”

Chen Mo deliberately said with a sigh: "I'm not bad, I don't see you praising me......"

Chen Yizhou couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you don't praise you, you will have to warp the pole, and if you praise you again, you will fly into the sky." The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and laughed.

The old man is over seventy, and when he reaches the age of doing whatever he wants, many times, he is more like an old child, and the grandfather and grandson occasionally quarrel and become more intimate.

It was dark, and the cool air in the yard was getting up, but the old man was reluctant to enter the house, so Chen Mo put his chaise longue at the door of the main house, sat down with him, and helped him turn on the TV. He doesn't watch TV either, he just listens to the sound with his ears, especially the news broadcasts, which is an essential homework every day.

"Grandpa, Aunt Hu still has an old man to take care of at home, and I can't take care of you full-time. In my opinion, I want to find a way to find a retired doctor from the hospital, and I can also chat with you and play chess or something. I'm relieved that there are two people who take turns taking care of you. ”

"My own body knows that it's not that step yet, otherwise, I wouldn't have driven your second uncle away."

"But Aunt Hu can't take care of her alone, if she is not there, you have what you need, and you don't even have someone to greet you."

"There are so many people in the alley, and our yard is like a vegetable market during the day, when has there been a shortage of people? I know you're worried, but there's no need. ”

Chen Mo wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Kang Xuedong and his wife walking in with them one by one. Although I can see Liu Xia once every two or three days, every time I see her, I can always feel that she is quickly emaciated.

Chen Mo knows very well that his godmother is really loveless about life. Since Roujia died of illness, her health has not been very good, and then she reluctantly asked for Yiyi, I thought it would be a hope, but Yiyi's body is not even as good as Roujia.

From the examination, it was found that it was the genetics brought about by her poor health, which caused the illness of her two children, and she collapsed all at once. Guilt, self-blame, gnawing at her heart all the time, if it weren't for one by one, she might not have been able to hold on a long time ago.

No one can do anything about this, and now I just hope that one by one will not go down the back road of Roujia, which can give her a little hope of survival.

The stone slab in the yard has just finished raining, and there is still a little standing water. One by one, he deliberately ran to the water's edge and stomped on the water with his feet, with a happy smile on his face. "Grandpa is good, Brother Da Mo is good."

Chen Mo stood up, brought them a chair, and asked Kang Xuedong to sit down. "Yiyi, let my mother take you to play for a while today, and my brother will go out for a while, and then I will teach you to play the piano when I come back later."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to send another brother to school, you have to be obedient at home." He turned his head to Kang Xuedong again and said, "Uncle Kang, don't leave too early today, I'll come back in a while, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Kang Xuedong laughed and said: "This is the first time you have taken the initiative to ask to talk to me about work, yes, there is progress." ”

"It's also a matter of work, and we'll talk about it in detail later."

He looked at the time and decided not to wait for Wuhan to come, and took the initiative to go over to find him. As soon as I reversed the car out of the garage, I saw Wuhan and Aunt Hu walking over.

Aunt Hu smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you, Xiao Mo." ”

"What's the matter, Wuhan is the same as my brother, why should I send my brother once when I am an elder brother?! Mainly because we don't have a direct bus to their school, if there is a direct bus, I won't bother to do this! Get in. ”

Although in front of Aunt Hu, Wu Han has always looked indifferent, but out of Aunt Hu's sight, Wu Han's expression showed a kind of gloom, and there was a lot less smile on his face.

Uhan is a Mongolian, and although he is not yet twenty years old, he has a rough face and looks relatively mature. In front of Aunt Hu, he disguised that innocence, and now he seems to have become several years older.

Chen Mo glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter, you seem to be under a lot of pressure, and you can't keep up with your studies?" ”

Wuhan shook his head, and after a while, he said, "There is no problem with studying, but I can't see where the future lies!" Brother Mo, did you say that I chose the Department of Finance by mistake?! ”

"Why? Didn't you choose it yourself? ”

Wu Han sighed and said: "At that time, I only heard that I studied finance, and it was easy to find a job when I came out, whether it was a bank or a multinational company, I needed people in this area, but now I have figured out that the finance department I studied is mainly engaged in traditional financial theory, and if you want to develop in this area, it is not enough to only have an undergraduate, at least a graduate student, and then you can take it." Instead of that, I might as well transfer to another discipline so that I can get a good job after graduating from my bachelor's degree. ”

Chen Mo pondered for a while and said, "I can't give you any advice on this, but I can give you some advice." In terms of development potential, the potential of the Department of Finance is greater than that of other disciplines, because finance is the general outline of modern social and economic development, and if you have achieved something in this area, it can also be applied to other industries. However, if you transfer to other professional disciplines, it will limit your future development. ”

"If you want to change departments, you can do it, but you must consider what your specialties are and what industries you are suitable for, so that you can have a target. For example, when I was in college, my grandfather and my aunt gave me a lot of advice and made me choose to major in international economics and trade. You see, I can work at CNPC now, even if I don't work at CNPC, some trading companies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can go directly to work. The fact that I was able to have so many options was that my path in life was not limited. ”

"Do you mean that if I change departments, I will be easily confined if I change departments?"

"Not necessarily, I'm just reminding you. Mizuki University is a comprehensive university, but it is still mainly in science, and if you limit yourself to that aspect, it will have a significant impact on your future life, so you must be cautious. ”

Uhan nodded, his eyes looking out the window. Chen Mo said again: "Actually, I can understand your current mood, you think that you have grown up, and you can't wait to help your mother reduce the burden and even create your own life value." But why are you in such a hurry?! ”

Without waiting for Wu Han to speak, Chen Mo said: "Actually, in the past few years, your family's life has slowly improved, although you are not rich, but your basic life is guaranteed, right?!" You won't be short of food and clothing anymore, and with this award of going to college, you don't have to worry about tuition fees anymore. Your mother is hard, but with your hope, she is full of confidence in tomorrow. If you make yourself anxious for quick success because of this urgency, this is the biggest harm to your mother, and it is also irresponsible for yourself. ”

At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly thought of Lang Yufu, if he didn't rush for quick success and slowly accumulate strength, he would definitely be able to develop into an admirable existence in the future.

Wu Han turned his head out the window, not wanting Chen Mo to see his red eyes and the tears that were about to fall. "But I don't want her to suffer anymore, she has suffered all her life, and she has not enjoyed a single day of happiness."

Chen Mo said unceremoniously: "You are wrong! What is Happiness? What is suffering again?! Do you think it's a blessing to let her live in a small courtyard now, and a few more servants to serve her?! Do you think she's suffering by being busy every day now?! I can tell you that suffering and happiness are not defined in this way, she is used to the current life, you really want her to do nothing now, a few people are waiting every day, there is no hope in her heart, she will not be able to stand it. You see, in our alley, so many people were fine when they went to work, but when they retired, they had nothing to do all day, and their bodies collapsed. That Uncle Wang, who is on duty at the mouth of the alley every day, you should also know about him, right? Why didn't he enjoy the happiness in the United States and come back and volunteer to patrol the alleys every day? ”

"He said he wasn't used to life in the United States......"

"That's right, you think your mom is used to a different life all of a sudden? It is still necessary to take it step by step, let her improve step by step, no matter when, there must be hope in her heart. ”

When it comes to this Uncle Wang, his story is almost unknown in the hutongs, and it is also an interesting topic that everyone likes to mention. When he was young, he carried a big bag, pedaled three wheels, and later went to work in a mane factory. Although he has been at the bottom all his life, several children are very successful, especially the eldest son, the first batch of college students after the reform and opening up, the first batch of publicly-funded international students, and later settled in Philadelphia, USA.

After stabilizing over there, he wanted to take his old father over to enjoy the blessings, but Uncle Wang couldn't stand the life over there, as he said, there was not even a person to talk to, and he completely became a deaf and dumb person. He can only say a few words when his son and daughter-in-law come back. After living for less than a month, he couldn't stay anymore and ran back alive or dead.

Now, he and a group of old men and old ladies patrol the alley regularly every day, and there are also large troops stationed at both ends of the alley. Therefore, although Chen Mo and his family kept a lot of valuable things, they never worried, even if there were thieves, it was difficult to hide from their eyes.
