"Leave the palace and return to seclusion, ride a green ox, resign from Hanguguan, and travel west to Qin. Lao Tzu's career trajectory is really desirable!" Chen Rui slowly closed the "Lao Tzu Ancient and Modern Affairs" in his hand, his eyes closed tightly, and he seemed to be immersed in the world of the book.

"Jingle bell" The ringtone of the mobile phone came, and Chen Rui sighed and picked up the mobile phone helplessly. looked at the prompt on the screen, and sure enough, as Chen Rui guessed, it was a call from his father.

"Dad, what's the matter?" asked Chen Rui weakly.

"What can I do, you hurry up and come back to me, I have already registered you for this year's civil service examination. On the phone, my father's urging voice rang out.

Chen Rui really has a big head, and in order to let himself join the work army quickly, his father actually took his own documents to apply for the civil service exam privately.

"Didn't you say okay? Chen Rui excused.

"What half a year? The time for this exam doesn't wait for anyone, I don't care what you're doing now, I'll rush back before nightfall today!" Chen Rui's father gave an ultimatum on the other end of the phone.

Chen Rui didn't understand his father's anxious attitude, but it was really difficult for him to cross the hurdle in his heart. In the concept of 99% of the elders, children must find a job as soon as possible after graduating from college, intern for a year or two before thinking about marriage and having children. With Chen Rui's diploma, it can be said that it is very simple to find a light job, but the sense of restraint at work makes Chen Rui really difficult to accept, every time he quits after only about a month, and even once he ran away after less than a week in the company. This kind of performance many times made his father, who had always been open-minded, unable to stand it, so he applied for Chen Rui's civil service examination.

"Dad, why don't you talk and don't count, at the beginning..."Dong Dong Dong'" Listening to the busy sound from the mobile phone, Chen Rui knew that his father was really determined to go back by himself. My father has always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards himself, as long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, his father will never care. "It is estimated that my mother and little sister fanned the flames at home!" Chen Rui guessed in his heart.

"It seems that there is no way to hide. Chen Rui sighed, and then began to pack up his salute.

Chen Rui now lives in a remote countryside, not because the air in the countryside is better than in the city, but because the countryside has a unique secluded and peaceful atmosphere, which is difficult to find in the noisy city. Chen Rui is a person who greatly admires nature and simplicity, and has no special hobbies, except for reading and copying various ancient and modern philosophical classics, and among these philosophical works, he is particularly partial to Chinese classical philosophy books. Therefore, Chen Rui's room is full of classic scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, "I can go without eating meat for a hundred days, and I must not go without reading for a day." This is a sentence that Chen Rui often hangs on his lips. People who don't know each other think Chen Rui is a nerd when they hear it, but in fact, everyone around Chen Rui knows that his so-called "books" are all those jerky and difficult to understand scriptures, and even some books that are sideways.

In the eyes of his friends, Chen Rui is an unscrupulous "Buddhist youth", Chen Rui laughs at some of his friends' ridicule on weekdays, he doesn't care what others think, as long as he can enjoy it, it's enough. But now his only hobby is about to be deprived of his most respected father, with the last book and the last bus, Chen Rui embarked on the journey home with mixed feelings.

Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, in an ordinary house in Wen County.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back. At a quarter past five in the evening, Chen Rui came to the front of the house. "Strange, what about people?" Chen Rui pushed the door in, but saw no one. "Maybe it's in my father's training room. Without thinking about it anymore, Chen Rui put down his salute and walked to the back of the room.

"It's really here. As soon as he walked to the door of the martial arts training room, Chen Rui saw his father practicing the moves and steps of Taijiquan. Chen Rui's family lives in Chenjiagou and is one of the heirs of the Chen-style Taijiquan lineage. Chen Rui has been learning authentic Chen-style Taijiquan with his father Chen Shan since he was a child, but he has been busy with his studies in college until now, plus he is obsessed with the study of philosophy, thus abandoning the practice of Chen-style Taijiquan.

In fact, the reason why Chen Rui is interested in philosophy is also influenced by Taijiquan, which emphasizes both internal and external cultivation, and the combination of rigidity and softness, which is exactly in line with the dialectical unity theory in philosophical thought. As a new generation of students, it is natural to focus on theoretical learning, and over time, Chen Rui has departed from the practice of boxing and focused on overcoming the academic path.

"Dad, that's awesome! This punch is not lost at all, and it has the demeanor of a master! Mom, do you say it?" Chen Rui's little sister Chen Yu's sharp voice pulled him back from his thoughts to reality.

"Dad, Mom, little sister, I'm back. Chen Rui greeted the three people in the room. "Hmph, count you as acquaintances, otherwise Dad won't spare you. Chen Yu choked Chen Rui as soon as he came. "Xiaoyu, don't embarrass your brother, hurry up and pour a glass of water for your brother. Chen Rui's mother Zhang Lan commanded. After hearing this, Chen Yu made a face at Chen Rui and ran away. Chen Rui was already used to the naughtiness of his little sister, and he walked quickly to his mother and sat down.

"I thought you were wild and not coming back. Father Chen Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Didn't I come back from your shoes? Chen Rui replied with a hippie smile. "As soon as the child comes back, you don't want to open any pot and mention which pot. Chen's mother protected.

......

After listening to the mother's complicated greetings, the family officially sat down at the dining table.

"Come, Dad, I'll pour you a drink. Chen Rui filled the wine glass in front of his father. "Don't think that by toasting me, I'll promise you to keep wandering around. Chen Shan suppressed his throat, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. "Kid Dad, you see how sensible Chen Rui is, I will definitely listen to you this time. Chen's mother took the opportunity to praise her son. As soon as Chen Rui heard it, he knew that it was indeed his mother who led his father to arrange for him to go home.

Chen Shan glanced at his wife Zhang Lan, and said knowingly: "Chen Rui, you are also twenty-three or four, Xiao Liu next door is one year younger than you, his children are almost able to make soy sauce, you are still floating alone, white makes your mother anxious, how can you bear it." "Not only do you want me to work, but you also want to arrange for me to go on a blind date?" Chen Rui felt bad in his heart. Sure enough, his mother said again: "The last time your aunt came to our house, she said that her neighbor's daughter Sasha..." Chen Rui interrupted his mother's conversation.

Chen's mother looked at Chen Shan helplessly, "Hmph, you don't have a job, and you don't have a girlfriend, what do you want to do?" Chen Shan was a little angry and asked in a deep voice. Chen Rui was a little overwhelmed by the white face and black face of his father and mother, and only after repeating it did he say: "Okay, I will promise you to take the civil service exam first, but you can't urge me to do emotional things." When his father Chen Shan heard this, he knew his son Chen Rui's temper, and it was not easy to temporarily agree to this condition, so he agreed with his mouth.

"But I have one more condition. Chen Rui suddenly mentioned. "I said you don't have to make an inch, if there are any harsh conditions, I won't agree. Chen Shan pulled his face and warned. "It's not an unreasonable condition, it's just that I want to travel for a few days and concentrate on preparing for the exam when I come back. Chen Rui said. "What are the conditions?" Chen Shan asked with a relaxed heart. "Isn't there still a few months left before the exam? Chen Rui said, "I want to go to Hanguguan for a trip." ”

When Chen Shan heard this, he knew that Hangu Pass was not far from here, so he didn't stop him and agreed to Chen Rui's request.
