Chapter 53: The Storm in the Teapot (3)
"Fourth uncle, a report from Commander Liu." When Wei Changrong went to see Wei Ze alone, he put a report in front of Wei Ze.
Weeser picked up the report and read it word by word, he wanted to put it down, but read it a third time. Wei Changrong has always been very comfortable in front of Wei Ze, he leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, and even yawned a few times. Read the book three times and realize its meaning, this is an old saying that Wei Changrong heard from Wei Ze, but Wei Changrong can really do this at the age of forty. Even Wei Ze can only really achieve this point after the age of thirty. Even if he can do this, the time it should take can't be saved for a second, so Wei Changrong waited very patiently at this time.
"Has the will to fight in North America been worn out to such an extent?" Weser finally began to speak.
Wei Changrong opened his eyes and looked at Wei Ze with a very surprised gaze. He really didn't expect Wei Ze's focus to be on this issue. Wei Changrong couldn't help but remind: "Fourth uncle, Wei Rui has encountered a problem over there. ”
"Is this also called a problem? Can this be called a problem? Weeser raised two questions in a row.
"Xiao Wu is not doing this authentically." Wei Changrong said.
"Then what do you think he does to call it authentic?" Weeser still used the rhetorical questioning mode.
Wei Ze's mode of expressing his true thoughts sometimes is too impactful, and Wei Changrong is not very accustomed to it until now. He sighed, "Fourth Uncle, I know that there is Commander Liu watching Wei Rui in North America, so we don't have to worry." But what you just said doesn't quite look like what a father should say? ”
"That's the difference between you and me about being a father, just like Xiao Wu's view of doing things is not the same as ours." Weeser finally made his point in ordinary terms.
"I'm worried about him, too." Wei Changrong said.
"Then you and I have reached today's position, and who is worried about us?" Weeser continued to ask rhetorically.
Wei Changrong fully understood this time, at least he thought he fully understood Wei Ze's thoughts. Indeed, those in high positions basically rely on their own efforts, no matter how much support their families can give them, the key to really deciding whether they are good or not is themselves.
Wei Ze didn't want Wei Changrong to guess, he also continued: "Fleas can jump to a height of more than a hundred times their height, and ants can drag a hundred times their own weight. We are all martial arts practitioners, and it is already a very terrifying thing to be able to jump to the same height as our own height and drag twice our body weight on the ground. But anything that a normal person can try to jump to, anything that can be dragged, fleas and ants can't do it anyway. Your daughter went to Europe, and there was a fairy tale named Hans Christian Andersen who wrote a fairy tale called "The Ugly Duckling", and I didn't pay attention to whether it was released in China. ”
"The ugly duckling becomes a swan?" Wei Changrong used the publishing house's fairy tales when telling stories to his grandson and grandson, and he still has an impression of this.
Now that Wei Changrong had read that story, Wei Ze also felt that it was easy to communicate, and he said seriously: "The ugly duckling becomes a swan not because of how hard it works, but because it was born to be a swan." ”
Wei Changrong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a crying and laughing expression: "Fourth uncle, you are still so poisonous in your words." ”
"Am I wrong?" Weeser asked.
Wei Changrong folded his arms around his chest and recalled the story again. In the end, I have to admit, "What you said is really right. As long as the ugly duckling is not killed by chickens and ducks on the road, if it can grow up smoothly, it will definitely become a swan. ”
How could Wei Ze not take his son to heart, he just spoke like that, in fact, he couldn't help but use ridicule to relieve the emotions and pressure in his heart. At this time, his mentality was adjusted, and Wei Ze sighed: "I know that many people have great expectations for Wei Rui, but what kind of road he can take, and whether he can choose the path he really wants to take, it is completely up to him." We have to let him come up on his own, into a place where we can reach him, so that we can reach out and pull like this. If we go back and reach out and hold him ......, alas, Changrong, we did such things when we were young, when did we do those things with good results? ”
Wei Changrong was silent for a long time, he recalled his past path, and how much regret he left behind for those things that he tried to pull with good intentions. Wei Changrong couldn't even count it himself.
Weeser continued: "The meaning of the road cannot be known until after it has been walked. Whether or not you can recognize the reasons why you chose the path is a watershed moment. Those excellent people understand these things at a young age, and if they can't recognize this kind of thing, they can't find their own way. And I'll be honest with you now, I've always suspected that Wei Rui joined the army in the hope of satisfying her mother, and perhaps hoping that I would identify with him. Of course, this is just my own suspicion. Therefore, we must not be rash in this matter. If we rush into this matter, I don't say if it can really help Wei Rui. All I can say is that doing so is a departure from what we expect from Willow. We expect Wei Rui to be an excellent person, for an excellent person, can this be counted? ”
After greatly expressing his educational philosophy, Wei Rui said again: "There is also Commander Liu watching, we don't have to worry." ”
Wei Changrong didn't know too well whether Wei Ze was saying this to make Wei Changrong feel at ease, or to make him feel at ease. However, since this is already the case, Wei Changrong also knows that it is indeed unnecessary to meddle rashly, so he continued the first topic and said: "Fourth uncle, what you said earlier is right. The North American side's will to fight has indeed been drained enough. This is beyond imagination. However, if there is not so much manpower in North America, all the development can only be carried out by the troops. ”
"There has always been a shortage of labor in industrial countries, and this has nothing to do with the size of the population of the industrial countries." Weeser elaborated on the facts proven by history, "So the operation of the state is very important. That's what I think, for the time being, the focus of our work here should not be on the rural areas, and the focus of personnel recruitment should be on the cities. ”
"Let these city people go farming?" Wei Changrong was shocked by Wei Ze's thoughts. Now it is the dream of many peasants in the countryside who desperately want to come to the city, eat public food, and become workers.
Weeser replied, "No, let the good people and desperate guys in the city get rich!" ”
