Chapter 15 The Poor Student
The helicopter made a loud roar and slowly ascended.
Fang Fang put her arms around Lin Fengyu's waist and chattered about the experience of the past two days.
Lin Fengyu patiently listened to Fang Fang's boundless bragging, with a gentle smile on his face.
After a long time, Fang Fang finally stopped talking.
At your feet are the rolling mountains, the stream of Huaxi is crystal shining, and there is only the sound of the whirring wind in your ears, maybe the wind from the helicopter propeller, maybe the natural wind in the air.
Fang Fang then looked at the back of the man sitting in front.
White Dream Tower.
He sat facing forward, not saying a word, his eyes fixed on the undulation of the mountains beneath his feet.
Is this the man?
At least, for now, this remains an enigmatic man.
The story about him could be written as a book. Even if it's a rumor, it's a very inspirational rumor! What's more, a few days ago, this man's life reached its peak, he married Lin Fengyu, and his wedding made all the young people crazy
Sichuan is located in the southwest hinterland and has a warm and humid climate. In March of the Western calendar, the northern country is still frozen land, and it is already full of flowers, and a group of warblers are flying wildly. Huanhuaxi was originally located in the western suburbs of Chengdu, but now it is in the urban area, all as a result of urban sprawl. However, the authorities heeded the advice of the private sector and strictly prohibited large-scale construction for 3 kilometers near the Huanhua Thatched Cottage, so the natural resources of the area were protected to a considerable extent.
There are very few people who can enjoy villas on the banks of Huanhua Creek, and going there will generally attract scolding.
Bai Menglou will not. Because he is not an ordinary person. With his experience, his financial resources, and his contributions, what kind of life he enjoys in Sichuan and in the southwest is what he deserves, and almost everyone who knows him thinks so.
The experience of Bai Menglou is legendary, and almost all women and children here know it.
China's 2012 was the best year in history. At that time, the economy was already relatively developed, GDP growth had lasted for many years, and the total economic volume was the largest in the world. It was also the worst of times, while economic development was accompanied by more and more huge social problems, the most important of which was the growing gap between the rich and the poor, according to the data of the Wall Street Journal survey, the Gini coefficient was as high as 4.3 in 2007, and social problems became increasingly prominent. So, at this time, if you see someone who spends 100 million yuan to marry a daughter, you don't have to be surprised, they are much richer than you think; Don't be surprised if you see people dying of hunger and cold under a city overpass, and the shelter keeps saying that those who are starving and freezing to death have refused their assistance, and you should not be surprised that there are probably many more people starving and freezing to death like that than you see in the news.
Bai Menglou was born in such an era.
He was born in a peasant family in the mountainous areas of western Sichuan, his family was extremely poor, and when he was born, the family still lived in an old-fashioned wooden house, and it was his father's lifelong dream to live in a building, and now this dream fell on his head, and his father named him "Dream Tower". When I was young, I didn't know that there was the word "suffering" in time, but I was happy. When she was seven years old, her mother suffered from liver ascites, and because she could not afford to go to the hospital, she struggled at home. Two years later, my mother couldn't bear the severe pain in her abdomen and made an amazing move: she used a kitchen knife to open her stomach to find the cause. She certainly didn't succeed and finally died two days later, completely freed from her pain. Bai Menglou witnessed the tragic death of his mother, and since then he has become calm and well-behaved. He studied hard, his grades improved rapidly, and he soon became the first in his class from last place, and by the time he graduated from elementary school, he entered junior high school first in the whole school.
At that time, the junior high school was located in a town far away from home, and it was necessary to live on campus and pay for food, which would incur a lot of expenses in a year. His father was sick and his family was poor, and in this case, his father still wanted him to go to school, but the family had no money, so he had to borrow from others. Throughout the village, not a single person was willing to lend him money. Looking at his father's guilty eyes, Bai Menglou said softly: "Dad, I'll borrow it!" ”
Bai Menglou put on his shabby clothes neatly, and then came to the house of Bai Shigui, the richest man in the village and a distant uncle. Bai Shigui was also polite to this distant nephew who was poor but had excellent grades.
"Uncle Shigui, if you have another 100,000 yuan now, how much can you earn in ten years if you deposit it in the bank?"
"The bank interest rate is low, and you can earn 20,000 yuan."
"How much can you make in 10 years if you invest in the stock market?"
"The stock market is fickle, you can make a million, or you can lose 80,000."
"Then let me ask you another question, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, can you guarantee that in ten or twenty years, your family will still be the richest man in the village?"
"Well, it's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business, and besides, your cousin and cousin only know how to spend money, not make money, and it's hard to say what will happen later."
"Then, let's make a deal, you borrow 10,000 yuan for me to study. With this 10,000 yuan, I will continue to go to school, and I can get into the best university. In the future, this village will be my world! ”
Bai Menglou said it categorically.
"At that time, I will pay you back a hundred times the interest. Isn't that better than holding a few dollars in your hands? ”
Bai Shigui stood up violently, stared at the ragged child, and sat down on the sofa after a while: "How could Shifu raise such a child!" ”
After reading it several times in a row, he turned and went into his room, returning with a thick stack of bills in his hand. He stuffed the money into Bai Menglou's pocket and hugged him tightly, with tears in his eyes: "Why aren't you my child?" ”
With the support of this 10,000 yuan, Bai Menglou entered the middle school.
Bai Shigui often helps Bai Menglou. With the support of Bai Shigui, Bai Menglou successfully completed his junior high school studies.
When the news that Bai Menglou was admitted to the county No. 1 middle school with the first place in the county reached Bai Shigui's ears, he muttered: "This son is not a thing in the pool, I should do my best!" He did what he said, took his two sons to Bai Menglou's house to congratulate him, and once again studied to sponsor 20,000 yuan for his studies.
Two years later, Bai Menglou's father died.
Three years later, Bai Menglou was admitted to the School of Electronic Science of Tsinghua University with the first grade in the county to study electronic communication.
He relied on scholarships and work-study to complete his college studies.
Four years later, Bai Menglou studied in Japan and entered Waseda University, a famous university in Japan.
Four years later, Bai Menglou completed his master's and doctoral studies and returned to China – with a patent in the field of electronic communications.
After returning to China, he did not apply for jobs in large companies or units, or ask relatives and friends to recommend job hunting, like other turtles. He returned to that faraway village.
He went to visit Bai Shigui, the distant uncle. He put a check for five million dollars in his hand. In order to raise this money, he transferred all the patents, except for that one.
Then he went to the graves of his father and mother. He sat quietly in front of the tomb
From the rising sun to the middle of the sun.
From sunrise to sunset.
From the setting sun to the twilight.
He just sat quietly.
The jade rabbit rose in the east, the starlight sprinkled all over the mountains and rivers, and the sound of insects around him fluctuated, but he still sat quietly.
Occasionally, someone passed by, also gently, for fear of disturbing him. He is already a legend in the village.
No one knew that this once strong boy, a student with excellent grades, shed his tears on the ground in front of his mother's grave.
When the sun rose again, he stood up, shook the dirt off his body, and turned to go down the mountain.
From then on, until the last moment of his life, he never returned to this village.
Therefore, even if Bai Menglou has an elegant villa on the bank of Huanhua Creek, he is also understood by people. His childhood and teenage years were too hard, and when he was able to live well, why not? What's more, his achievements are not earned by fighting his father, not by nepotism, but by his unremitting efforts.
People are even happy to come to the banks of Huanhua Creek.
Parents are willing to take their children to see the elegant little building, enjoy the splendid cherry blossoms in front of and behind the building, and by the way, tell the experience of Baimenglou as a classic story to their children. A father with a bit of culture will look up to the sky and sigh: "At the age of 29, he is worth 100 billion, is in charge of the largest company in Sichuan, and concurrently serves as the vice chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Giving birth to a child should be like a white dream building! ”
Young girls are also willing to pass by, and they will reach out to catch a fallen petal that floats by, lamenting the passing of their youth. They imagined that there was a man like Bai Menglou, who came to them on a colorful cloud and whispered in his ear: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time..."
Winter goes to spring, the weather is warm, the cherry blossoms in front of the small building are like snow, the grass is green, and even the stream flows very happily. But today, the girls will not come again, because it is a time that breaks their hearts, and their dream lover is here today for her wedding.
The wedding pomp of Baimenglou is big enough, the grade is high enough, and almost all the heads of famous large enterprises in the southwest have arrived. Deputy Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee personally sent a congratulatory letter and witnessed the marriage, and senior political officials in Chengdu gathered together.
This is not necessarily unprecedented. The real dazzle is the flight show of military aircraft!
Yes, when three groups of six Su-35 fighter formations swept over the lawn at an ultra-low altitude, the crowd erupted in loud cheers; But when a large Y-20 transport plane flew by, 10 paratroopers jumped from a height of 800 meters and opened a huge banner in the air: Xiaolou dreams of wind and rain, and this life will depend on each other forever.
At that moment, people were completely speechless, and they believed that such strength was incomparable.
Such connections are unparalleled.
Such a romance cannot be replicated.
They have nothing but blessings.
At that moment, as a woman, Lin Fengyu's heart suddenly couldn't help but be moved, this man, maybe he really cares about himself, tears couldn't help but flow out, she went to the bathroom.
When she came back to makeup, the aunt in charge of bathroom hygiene handed her a note and whispered, "A gentleman just asked me to hand it to you." ”
She unfolded the note, only to see that it was written: All this he did was for his first girlfriend. Don't forget your mission!
Lin Fengyu woke up suddenly, and quietly returned to Bai Menglou's side, no matter how difficult her mind was to concentrate on the performances of the popular superstars on the stage in front of her, she didn't understand, how could such an affectionate and gentle person be like they said?
At this time, Bai Menglou was chatting and laughing with military dignitaries and deputy commander Yang of the provincial military region. Bai Menglou looked back at Lin Fengyu and said, "Fengyu, your face is not very good, is it cold?" ”
Lin Fengyu shook his head.
"Wind and rain, let me introduce you, this is Deputy Commander Yang, and he will be Commander Wang soon!" Lin Fengyu politely stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "General Wang is here, and he is shining." ”
Deputy Commander Yang laughed: "My younger brother and sister are so self-contained, greet me when you are in a bad mood, and show four teeth when you smile!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Fengyu and Bai Menglou were stunned.
"That's right, when did the wind and rain smile beautifully, I remember when you used to laugh, you could see the tonsils!" Fang Fang next to him continued.
At that moment, Lin Fengyu really wanted to find a rag to stuff into Fang Fang's mouth.
