Chapter 764: Gains, Losses.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Shuo went to the homes of several teachers in elementary school, junior high school, and high school to pay New Year's greetings...... This is not because Wen Shuo has a deep affection for the teachers, but because of the rather helpless reality.
Wen Shuo has always boasted that he has one thing to say, and he has never liked to play falsely. But when a person has a deeper contact with society, he will be shackled by all kinds of favors, reputation, wealth, status, and identity, and he will have the personal feeling of "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes", so it is difficult to live completely true, so there will be more hypocrisy.
This is not denial, let alone a deliberate attempt to discredit the friendship between teachers and students.
A deep teacher-student bond does exist, but it doesn't exist between every student and teacher.
Gratitude and feelings for teachers may be in the minds of most students, but their thickness, at best, is that in the days after leaving the campus, or even extending for decades, they will still respect and be enthusiastic when they occasionally see teachers, but it is difficult to visit teachers during the New Year's holidays, which is unrealistic.
It is true that there are cases of deep friendship with teachers, and as a result, they have been in contact for many years, but they are only very rare.
The life experience from childhood to adulthood makes Wen Shuo grateful for individual teachers, if a teacher encounters any difficulties in his life and seeks Wen Shuo's help, then Wen Shuo will definitely do his best.
But it is not so much that you have to visit and visit every New Year's holiday.
But this is no longer the case.
Wen Shuo is very good at understanding people's hearts, good at interpersonal communication, and emotional cultivation and maintenance...... However, there are also some omissions and flaws.
For example, when he went to visit his former teacher, Ma Xiaobin reminded and suggested him to do so.
When Ma Xiaobin went to Wen Shuo's house in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, he said to Wen Shuo in private: "First brother, you have to visit the teacher who has helped you in your mind and has a good impression." If you don't go back to Shinonome, or if you go back to Shinonome for a day and a half and then leave, it's fine. However, if you stay in your hometown for three or five days during the Chinese New Year, but you do not go to the teacher to greet the New Year, it will cause gossip and have a bad impact on your personal reputation. ”
"Because now the whole Dongyun knows your fame, the top student in the college entrance examination of our Linguan back then, and now a well-known young entrepreneur in Beijing, a student of Beijing University, ......"
"You are a model of a poor family who studies hard and then succeeds. In some related interviews, several teachers also gave you a very high evaluation, and the news will naturally appear similar to the teaching and help of schools and teachers, so that you have today's success and other statements, and the public will naturally think so. Then, when you returned to Shinonome after becoming famous, you didn't visit the teacher who had helped you a lot, and you didn't give them New Year's greetings, which is not appropriate. ”
Admittedly, this is hypocritical, and perhaps the school and teachers have not helped you much behind your success, but society must think so. ”
"I'll take a closer look at it for you......"
babbled a lot, so Wen Shuo almost couldn't help but want to beat Ma Xiaobin - this kid is better than his mother's fat man's brain, and he thinks and analyzes more thoroughly!
This is the bystander, right?
The fat man must admit that Ma Xiaobin is right and practical.
So he understood more and more why even Zheng Wenjiang, Liu Mao and people like him were stunned by Ma Xiaobin's mouth.
This guy has a broken mouth, but he is extremely reasonable.
It makes you angry, makes you scratch your head, but makes you embarrassed to play tricks......
But if you are a sensible and intelligent person, if you think about it carefully, you will feel that if you have an assistant like Ma Xiaobin and a think tank by your side, you can undoubtedly bring great help to your life and work.
To put it simply, this guy was born to be a military advisor!
Driving around this house, looking at that house, the morning time passed.
The family in the cotton mill community, because no one has lived for a long time, and I haven't been able to come back in advance to clean up and prepare for the New Year, so don't talk about living, there is no firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea for cooking, so I eat at my uncle's house on the first day of junior high school and stay, and the second day of junior high school is to agree to go to my aunt's house for lunch, and come back in the evening to eat and live at my uncle's house.
Wen Shuo received a call from her mother in advance, picked her up at home at noon, and she went back to the community in the morning to clean up the house.
This house has been uninhabited for a long time, and if it is not cleaned, it will fall into decay quickly.
Driving into the community, I saw the door of my unit from a distance, groups of old and young masters stood there chatting, some children ran in and out of the unit door to play, saw a majestic and domineering large "jeep" driving over, everyone looked over, and the children who ran back and forth to play also quickly hid to the side and stood still.
In these years, when the children of Shinonome saw the car, they still knew to be afraid and avoid it.
Most of these old and young masters, Wen Shuo recognizes them, they are residents of this community, and the relationship in the past is not bad......
The fat man's popularity in the community is really good.
He remembers that when he left home to go to the capital, many residents in the community spontaneously gathered to see him outside the community and saw him board the public bus bound for the train station.
He remembers that he had brought a lot of food from his neighbors that day.
"Fuck, Ma Xiaobin is a human spirit, he can think of anything!" Wen Shuo parked the car with emotion, and picked up a bag of candy placed on the passenger seat - this is also Ma Xiaobin's reminder to him, it is convenient to take it at hand at any time, the candy was purchased by his mother early when he was in the capital years ago, and all kinds of New Year's goods have been piled up in the trunk.
Ma Xiaobin told Wen Shuo: "Brother Yi, it's rare for you to go back to Dongyun, and it's during the Spring Festival, so you can use cigarettes and candy at hand." ”
No, it's going to be used now.
As soon as Wen Shuo got out of the car, he greeted the old neighbors with a smile and said Happy New Year, and the uncle, uncle, and eldest brother kept calling and beckoning the children to come over, handing the bag full of candy to an older child and letting him share it with the children.
Immediately, Wen Shuo took out a cigarette and distributed it to everyone.
Naturally, the neighbors were also happily chatting with Wen Shuo, and they were all in high spirits, as if they had encountered a great joy.
And they do rejoice.
Although everyone understands in their hearts that no matter how well Li Qin and Wen Shuo live as a mother and son, it has little to do with them, but human nature is like this, seeing that the people they know are so promising, they also feel that they will have a light on their faces, and they can also say a few words when chatting with people: "Hey, Wen Shuo, that kid, I watched him grow up, he was too skinny when he was a child......" "I also kicked him in the ass twice." And so on and so on.
In the morning, I heard that Li Qin had returned home, and many neighbors came to catch up with Li Qin, and the old and young masters couldn't wipe their faces and went into the house to sit around and talk nonsense like the old ladies, so they chatted outside, and some "inexplicably" hoped that Wen Shuo would come back, and after saying hello and chatting a few words, they felt that their faces were bright, and they would have a very strange sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
Wen Shuo is very clear about the mentality of his neighbors at the moment.
It doesn't have to be that you want to slap him and touch his light, it's just a natural approach psychology.
Among them, half of them are really good to him, and they will talk about the little fat man finally having a chance, so that his mother, who has suffered for many years and has been widowed for many years, is now living a good life. Half, if not more, is not entirely for this.
The human psyche is actually very strange.
In life, if your conditions are worse than those of your neighbors, ordinary friends, colleagues, and even some of your own relatives, some of you will sympathize, some will disagree, and some will feel proud and feel that you are better off than you; if your conditions are better than theirs, some people will be resentful and unjust, and when you encounter some problems, they will even secretly gloat, and in private they may slander, curse, and scold you.
However, if you are in much better condition than theirs, so good that they will not even have the idea of comparing and chasing......
People will regard you as their dearest friend, take what you have said as a wise saying, and when they talk with others in life, they will treat you as their proud talking point, and they will forget all your shortcomings, even bad things about him, but expand your advantages infinitely!
To Wen Shuo's relief, this kind of human flaw, which is difficult to appeal, at least among the neighbors who have taken the initiative to come to the present, occupies a minority.
Because most of them still keep their good and moral hearts.
"Hey, let's go into the house and sit, it's such a cold day......" Wen Shuo politely and familiarly invited everyone to the house, while turning his hand to the car and opening the trunk, took two bags of cigarettes, sugar, and various nuts, and walked home with the neighbors.
With Wen Shuo here, it is convenient for the old and young masters to enter the house and chat.
When I entered the house, I found that there were many more people in the house than outside, and there were more than 20 women of different ages in the living room, and several children were also running back and forth in each room to play.
"Everyone is there?" Wen Shuo squeezed through the crowd with a smile, greeting everyone for the New Year, and putting the snacks he was carrying on the coffee table, "Come on, come on, don't chatter, eat some melon seed candy or something...... That, I haven't lived at home, I lack everything at home, and I don't take good care of it, so forgive me!"
"Hey, look at how much this kid can talk!"
"It's not, playing small is a good person, and the little mouth is too sweet......"
"Shuo looks a lot taller than when he first went to the capital, right? Look at this body, this style, it really has the style of a big boss!"
"How can you talk, Xiao Shuo is originally a big boss!"
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Everyone chatted enthusiastically, forgetting all the time.
I don't know who couldn't help but remind everyone that it was noon, and everyone seemed to have just come back to their senses, and saw that Wen Shuo had no preparations for cooking at home, so they all warmly invited the mother and son to eat at home.
Wen Shuo and his mother politely refused and explained, and then sent the neighbors away one by one.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Shuo drove the car and asked with a smile, "Mom, are you tired?"
"I was a little tired, and at first I was a little happy and happy, but there were more and more people, and the time was getting longer and longer, and I felt tired. Li Qin sighed softly and said with some emotion: "In the past, our family didn't see neighbors a few times throughout the year...... Well, Mom is not complaining about anything, most of the neighbors are actually very good, and there has been a lot of help for our mother and wife in those years, Mom just thinks that there seems to be something missing now. ”
"yes. Wen Shuo nodded.
"What's missing?" Li Qin's face was full of confusion and helplessness, as well as regret.
"Less earthy sincerity. ”
"Oh......"
