Chapter XXVIII

This sudden decision surprised Zhao Wu and Li Yun, and Li Yun stared at Li Zhendong dumbfounded.

"We're going to the U.S. for five years?"

"What's wrong? Surprised? Five years is just the beginning, so you should cherish this short and intense growth process. Basically, I've already arranged it. The two of you just need to learn these things well during this time, learn them solidly, and when you come back, I will arrange for the company to let you practice. There is no room for negotiation in this matter, you know, the two of you together will cost more than a million dollars for five years. I didn't let you contact any position in the company before, but also because I didn't want to put so much pressure on the two of you, after all, you are still young, and eating well and having fun is my expectation for you. But now it's different, you should have to shoulder this burden on your shoulders, not only marriage Xiaowu, but also career. So I'll just say four words, hurry up and grow. Your father and I are both 60 years old, and we are still counting on you to retire in your old age. ”

"This..."Zhao Wu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Zhendong.

"Men do things, don't want this, that, that. There is only one condition, and that is to do everything to overcome and conquer the difficulties in front of you. There is no reason or explanation, if you succeed, this is the law, if you fail, then continue to look for the law of success. And there is no shortcut to this road, you have to eat bite by bite, and the road has to be taken step by step. If you work hard, I'll have enough time to plan. ”

"Then when are we going?" Zhao Wu didn't say any more nonsense, because he knew. As a man, he must shoulder heavy responsibilities and work hard for the country and his family.

"After the New Year, I will arrange for people and the school to connect with the cross-border recruitment, and once there is a place, the two of you will leave immediately. So be ready to go at any time. In the past few days, I have been asking someone to get a green card for you, and it should be coming down soon. I've wasted so much energy, and my intentions are clear. From then on, there was no backstage for the two of you. When you get there, you're on your own, and we expect a lot from you. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Dong, we will definitely do our best. This is your second elder's painstaking lifelong management of the industry, a lifetime of hard work. ”

"No, it's just your start, maybe a little bit higher than the others. It's not enough to just hold on, but the higher you are, the greater the obstacles and difficulties will be. As for how high it can climb and how far it can go, the next thing is for the two of you to consider. How can it be smooth sailing to be a person and do things, but things are done by people, as long as you are determined to do it, you will definitely be able to do it well. Let me tell you a story about two rocks that were lifted down from the mountain, but after different treatments, one was carved into a Buddha statue for people to worship. The other is made of steps for people to tread. This mountain stone is not happy, we are also all stones, from one. Why can you be admired and worshipped by others, while I am just trampled under the feet of others? The rock told him, "You have only been cut by a few knives when you have been built into steps, and what about me?" I have suffered thousands of cuts and countless polishes to get to where I am today. You should feel fortunate that you can make people step on me with these few knives, but if it weren't for my persistence and bearing, you are probably still an ordinary rock on the mountain. I won't talk about it anymore, I think you should figure it out. After Li Zhendong finished speaking, he drank the soup in front of him.

At this time, everyone here is quietly reminiscing about this story.

"Yes, after your uncle finished telling this story, I thought of the era when we worked hard at that time. That kind of taste, if you want to give it to today's young people, it is estimated that no one can bear it. I was sick and had a fever, and I didn't even have time to see a doctor, and I didn't say this at all. That year, I had a high fever, my whole body was confused, and I felt strained to open my eyes, but a belief told me that I couldn't fall, and if I fell, the family would collapse. I continued to carry the billboards on the streets, and it wasn't like now, when I could afford to buy a car and hire people. In the past, it was all by myself, all with two hands, and I put it on my back, and I gave 18 yuan a piece. Later, I met your uncle, how old were we at that time, graduated from high school? 15, 6 years old?"

Li Zhendong listened to Zhao Yanqing reminiscing about the past time, and nodded slightly, as if it happened yesterday, vividly, the sadness and sigh that leaked made his eyes contain tears.

"At that time, the family was poor, so they wanted to earn money and support their family, and today if they installed one less billboard, their family might be hungry for a day. At that time, who wanted to work so hard, but if there was a little way, it would not be like this. Now that I think about it, I am so much happier than before. Later, it was a coincidence, we met 'Zhong Lao', and taught us how to make money with our brains, and it was no longer the old manual work. 'Zhong Lao' has been all his life, without children and daughters, so he recognized the two of us under his door, pinched little by little, made little by little, at that time it was really, hey, the past is unbearable, I feel sad when I think about it. After Zhao Yanqing finished speaking, Li Zhendong picked up his words.

"Okay, then don't indoctrinate the kids with these ideas. It's not easy for our two families to get together, and when the two children leave next year, we will be left with a bunch of old bones, and we will slowly recall our past. Come, all raise a glass, everyone drink together. ”

"Come, come, for the happy life we have now." Zhao Yanqing then raised his glass.

After a clinking of glasses, several people raised their glasses and drank them all with their heads up.

The night is getting deeper, the silver-white moonlight is reflected on the lake, the fragrance of the night fills the air, and the twilight is like a big net, quietly scattering down, enveloping the whole earth. In the other pavilions, some people drank happily, and some sang loudly... All kinds of sounds are sandwiched by the water in the river, like a unique sports meeting. And the night sky in early winter is as elegant as chocolate, cosy and comfortable, and the cold wind sometimes blows across the earth... From time to time, humming a song floats past my ears... The sweetness of the scene can't help but make people envy beautifully.

The people who had eaten and drunk enough went back to their rooms to rest. Zhao Wu, who was tossing and turning, did not feel sleepy, put on his clothes and walked out the door. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hotel, I saw Li Zhendong sitting in a rocking chair on one side, with a stove in front of him and a wine jug on it.

Seeing Zhao Wu's appearance, Li Zhendong waved his hand and said, "Come to Xiaowu, it's warm here." ”

Zhao Wu responded and walked to Li Zhendong and sat down: "What's the matter, Uncle Dong, can't you sleep?" ”

"Aren't you too? Come on, we haven't talked for a long time. Saying that, Li Zhendong took out a wine glass from under the table next to him, put it in front of Zhao Wu, picked up the wine jug on the stove, and poured a glass for Zhao Wu, "Aged daughter Hong, drink a little to warm up." ”

"I said why did you hide here secretly at night, it turned out to be a wine to yourself."

"Haha... You're right, there are some things that you can't usually share with others, except for family. ”

"Thank you Uncle Dong for sharing, this wine is really good to drink, with an attractive aroma. It's just a little bit intense. Zhao Wu took a big sip of his wine glass and said.

"This wine is sometimes just like us, after years of precipitation and experience, it will have a strong Fang Gang. No matter how good the wine is, without the experience of time, it will not be able to drink the true taste it contains. The reason why I like to drink my daughter's red is that there are all kinds of wine in the world, but it has six flavors, including sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, fresh and astringent. And you only drank the sweet aroma, which means that your previous life was too comfortable, and you have to slowly experience and experience the next five flavors. I believe that time will carry you through all this. ”

"You're right, me. I've never thought about these questions before, what will I do in the future? How am I going to face my future life, and even what my future life will be like? I never thought about it. Because my life is too easy. ”

"Your comfort is what your father spelled out, and it feels good to sit back and enjoy it, but this day will always end, and we, as elders, can't take care of you for a lifetime. Since sooner or later you have to understand these truths, and sooner or later you have to start your own life, then take advantage of the present, while you are still young, at least you will not feel so bumpy to start now. You know, not everyone will have such a good opportunity like you. ”

"I understand Uncle Dong, so from now on I want to seize the opportunity and grasp my future life."

"How to say it, be prepared for danger in times of peace. The comfort of the present is temporary, and if you want your next generation, each generation, to live so comfortably, then you have to start from now and pick up the burden on your body. Since you have been reincarnated as a human being, you can live a personal life on your own, what the previous generation brought to you, everything is short-lived, and what you enjoy now is only the hard work of the previous generation. Li Zhendong picked up the 'Ninety-Five Supreme' from the table, took out one and handed it to Zhao Wu. Then I ordered one myself.

"Isn't it too heavy for us to talk about these topics?" Zhao Wu took the cigarette and lit it.

"Not heavy. When you get really heavy one day, you may really have no chance. A person may have five chances in this life. Too young, waste once; Too old to do it, waste it again; Negligence on the way wasted again; And you only have one chance left, because your other chance has already been used, and that is that you have a good start, and that is the most important opportunity. ”

"But I think it's really stressful."

"Feeling stressed before you even started? If people want to succeed, the right time, place and people are indispensable. You don't lack the right time and place, the only thing you lack is people, which needs you to create it yourself. The Three Kingdoms should be no stranger, right? Before Liu Bei died, he called Zhuge Liang to his side and said, If Adou can't help him, you can replace him. When Liu Bei Baidi Cheng Tuogu said this, Zhao Yun was standing next to him, if Zhuge Liang agreed, I am afraid that Zhao Yun would immediately cut off his head. And Zhuge Liang is shrewd, so he naturally understands the truth, and then said that he will be loyal to Shu and live and die with Shu. Adou indulged in wine every day, regardless of the government, and Zhuge Liang finally died of exhaustion. In the end, the Shu Kingdom perished. The reason is very simple, no matter how much others help you, if you don't create it yourself, everything is useless. ”
