Chapter 46: Men
In the end, Lin Xi and Jin Xiaolin helped Ling Lin pick a Humvee.
After buying the car, without saying much, Ling Lin and Lin Xi quickly left, and before leaving, Ling Lin didn't forget to glance at Zhang An'an, but Zhang An'an still looked at him indifferently, without joy or sorrow.
After accompanying Lin Xi and Jin Xiaolin to dinner, and sending the second daughter home, Ling Lin drove the newly bought car back to his home.
When he returned home, Ling Lin was a little surprised, because the house has been very lively recently, but he didn't expect that there was only 78 generations of ancestors left in the family today.
The 78th generation ancestor who was alchemizing in the living room, after seeing Ling Lin coming back, just wanted to say hello, but found that Ling Lin's expression today was a little strange, as if he was looking for someone.
Looking at Ling Lin suspiciously, the 78th generation ancestor asked.
"Xiao Linglin, who are you looking for?"
"Uh...... I didn't look for anyone, but I encountered something today, and I originally wanted to talk to my grandfather! ”
After Ling Lin finished speaking, the 78th generation ancestor smiled slightly, and then patted the futon beside him.
"Grandpa is not here, but I am also your ancestor, is there anything you can't tell me?"
Looking at the smiling face of the 78th generation ancestor, Ling Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and finally walked to the futon and sat down.
After seeing Ling Lin sit down, the 78th Ancestor smiled slightly and asked.
"What happened? Say it, and the ancestor will help you analyze and analyze. ”
Looking at the 78th generation ancestor, Ling Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly explained the matter.
After saying everything, Ling Lin was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't particularly care about this matter, thinking that I was young and ignorant back then, but when I heard Zhang Anan say this today, I really felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt as if it was really because of me that I ruined the other party. 78 generations of ancestors, do you think I want to give the other party any compensation? ”
Ling Lin looked at the 78th generation ancestor curiously, wanting to know the answer to this question.
However, this problem that had plagued Ling Lin for a night, the 78th generation ancestor didn't seem to particularly care.
After casually glancing at Ling Lin, the 78th Ancestor turned his head again and continued to look at the fire under the Dan furnace.
"You will feel guilty, it means that you have grown up, matured, and are a man. Men are like that, they should stand up to the sky and take responsibility for what they have done. But the ancestor still wants to tell you that it's good to be responsible, but you can't take care of everything. ”
The 78th generation ancestor's answer made Ling Lin fall silent. He understands what the 78 ancestors said, but he doesn't know how to say it, he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if as long as he lets go, he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
As if seeing Ling Lin's thoughts, the 78th Ancestor paused, and then continued after a while.
"If you ask me how to deal with this matter, I would like to ask you how to make yourself feel at ease?"
Hearing this answer, Ling Lin was suddenly stunned, what does it mean to be at ease?
Looking at the 78th Ancestor with a puzzled face, Ling Lin just wanted to speak, but the 78th Ancestor waved his hand and signaled him not to speak yet.
"I know you can't understand it all at once. Well, I'll give you an example. Many people think that kings are innate, and some people are born with the temperament of leadership. However, have you ever thought that the founding emperors of all dynasties, and even the earliest ancestors of our Ling family, they are just one of ordinary people, why would they inexplicably stand out and become kings? ”
"I guess it's because of your outstanding ability or your handsomeness, right?" Ling Lin thought for a moment and answered this, which he himself was not sure of.
Hearing this answer, the 78th generation ancestor smiled and patted Ling Lin's shoulder happily.
"Handsome, hehe, I'm sure the Third Ancestor will be very happy to hear your answer. However, what I want to tell you is that ability is only part of it, there are many capable people in this world, and some people's abilities even exceed their own bosses, but why didn't they become bosses in the end? ”
"There is a very important premise here, that is, it is not the person who has the ability to be the boss to be the boss, but the person who wants to be the boss, will be the boss!"
After the 78th Ancestor finished speaking, Ling Lin suddenly felt a little clearer in his mind.
It felt like seeing the light of day, and his thoughts, which had made him a little confused, gradually became clearer.
Seeing that Ling Lin's expression softened, the 78th Ancestor smiled and continued.
"You think you should be responsible for her, but in fact you just missed the vase, yes, this has a series of effects, but have you ever thought that although you are partly responsible for this problem, but her life eventually embarked on this trajectory, and most of the responsibility is her own problem."
"But that vase was ...... me after all," Ling Lin said with a little guilt.
At this time, the 78th generation ancestor suddenly turned his head and stared at Ling Lin with his eyes.
"Yes, that's what I'm talking about, it's actually that you feel guilty. You see, even the other party has been relieved, but you are not willing to let yourself go. ”
"Then the question is, if you want to reduce the guilt in your heart, then you can compensate her as much as you want, because what you want is your own peace of mind. Many times we help others and compensate others, not because others really need help and need compensation, but to fill our own inner turmoil. ”
"If you really feel that you owe her a lot, then you can make it up to her as much as you can in the years to come. However, I still want to tell you that the apologies in my heart can be gradually smoothed out, and don't blindly feel that it is impossible to compensate for it. Everyone has their own life, and you can't put your whole life into it, just to compensate each other. ”
The 78th generation ancestor turned his head to look at the Dan furnace. Turning back and saying,
"I know you're very mature now, a man, and responsible. But you have to know that manhood is not only responsible for one person, but also for many people, including your parents, your family, and even the entire Ling family.
Because you are the hope of our Ling family, you are the current ancestor of the Ling family, you can't put the entire Ling family and your life into it for the sake of a woman, in order to erase the little uneasiness and guilt in your heart. ”
"You have to balance yourself."
After the 78th Ancestor finished speaking, Ling Lin was actually a little shocked.
In his heart, he actually knew this truth, but when no one pointed it out, he didn't think of it, and the 78th generation ancestor just said the deepest thoughts in his heart, and gradually analyzed him clearly.
