"Dad, what do you think of me studying medicine in the future?" Zhou Cong suddenly found Wang Chong and said that he wanted to talk to Wang Chong, the father and son came to the study, and Zhou Cong asked straight to the point.

"Didn't you always say you wanted to be a scientist? How can you suddenly change your mind? As soon as Wang Chong asked this, he suddenly reacted: "Because of your grandfather Ma?" ”

Zhou Cong nodded and said: "Part of the reason, there was another time last time, grandpa suddenly fainted at night, grandma was anxious and at a loss, and several of us could only follow in a hurry, Zhou Ming and Little Tail were directly scared and cried, and even Lingling, who had always been bold, was frightened and pale. ”

Immediately, his eyes were firm, and he met Wang Chong's gaze and said, "I don't want to be helpless next time when I encounter this kind of thing." ”

Wang Chong still had a smile on his face, patted Zhou Cong's shoulder, and said, "As long as you want to learn by yourself, whether you study medicine or something else, Dad will support you!" ”

"Follow your own heart in everything, don't force yourself, only if you are really interested, can you do a good job, as long as you figure it out yourself, no matter what kind of decision you make, your father and mother will support you."

Wang Chong did not plan for the future of his children, to a certain extent, he felt that foreign education methods have certain merits and are worth learning and learning.

And with the current situation of their family, no matter what the children do in the future, as long as they are not defeated, it is enough for them to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.

Zhou Cong listened, a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "Thank you, Dad!" ”

Looking at the eldest son in front of him, who was already more than one meter seven tall and close to an adult, Wang Chong sighed with emotion, "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you are so old." ”

"You are the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, if I and your mother are not next to me in the future, younger brothers and sisters, you have to watch more."

"Got it, Dad." Zhou Cong agreed quickly.

"By the way, what's the matter with your grandfather fainting?" Wang Zhong looked at Zhou Cong and asked.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"At that time, Yueyue and I were reading in the study, and the little tail ran up to tell us." Zhou Cong said: "Later, I heard grandma say that it was because she told grandpa about the time in 81 years, you and uncle fell out, and then grandpa was so angry that he fainted. ”

"The doctor came to see, gave grandpa cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and soon grandpa woke up, the doctor said that there was no big deal, but he was old, some high blood pressure, and then when he was excited, his blood surged, and he fainted, nothing serious, just let us pay attention not to stimulate grandpa in the future."

"The doctor said there was nothing wrong, so grandma told us not to tell you and my mother yet."

Wang Zhong understood Li Suhua's considerations, but he couldn't help but ask: "No, although I don't have any contact with your uncle now, there is no contradiction, according to your grandmother's temperament, if it's okay, she won't tell your grandfather about these old things." ”

Zhou Cong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Maybe it's because we met with my grandparents and sister-in-law's mother a few days ago." ”

"Meet? What's going on? The alarm bell suddenly sounded in the king's heart.

Wang Chong has done a lot of things that are beneficial to others and harmless to himself, and he doesn't dare to say what kind of good people he is, but he can also be called helpful.

But Hao Dongmei's mother Jin Yueji has a precedent, and Wang Chong has to be vigilant.

And since the eighty-first year, she has never been to the door of the old Zhou family, even Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, most of the time they live in the Hao family, only during the New Year's holidays, Zhou Rong and his wife come back from Yanjing, they will go back to the old house to live for a few days.

"Here's the thing······"

Zhou Cong slowly told Wang Chong in detail about the meeting between Jin Yueji and Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua, as well as how they discussed and decided after a few of them knew about it, and how they finally launched a counterattack to strangle the crisis in the cradle.

At this moment, Wang Chong was stunned.

Immediately, he gave Zhou Cong a thumbs up in surprise: "It seems that I underestimated my son." ”

"Bold and careful, brave and strategic, not bad, at a young age, he already has the style of a general, he is worthy of being my son, hahaha!"

Although he didn't become Jin Yueji, but Zhou Cong scared people, a fifteen-year-old ignorant young man who didn't know the world, and turned an old fox who was old and old like this, Wang Chong couldn't help but be happy just thinking about it, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Dad!" Rao was based on Zhou Cong's calmness, and when he heard Wang Chong's words, he couldn't help blushing a little and was a little embarrassed.

"Seriously!" Zhou Congdao.

After laughing, Wang Chong was very happy, raised his hand and patted Zhou Cong's shoulder, with a serious expression, and said in a rather solemn tone: "Although you have done a good job in this matter, it is very in line with Dad's wishes, but many times, many things cannot be generalized, and frontal hard steel has never been the only way to solve the problem. ”

"After all, you're just a fifteen-year-old child, and although you're much more precocious than your peers, there's still a gap between you and that kind of person."

"Indeed!" Zhou Cong nodded, deeply convinced.

"What about the big truth, Dad won't tell you, it's all in the book, but it's useless to just know the truth, just like I said to Grandpa Deng, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

If you haven't experienced it firsthand, whether it's what you've seen in books or what Dad is telling you now, no amount of it will be of any use. ”

Saying that, Wang Chong suddenly paused, his eyes flashed slightly, he thought for a moment, and continued: "Just like this time, you did a good job, but if things are really as you think, do you think this matter is over?" ”

Wang Chong didn't dare to determine whether Jin Yueji really just wanted to meet Zhou Zhigang and his family and talk about the friendship between his in-laws, or if he was really just as Zhou Cong and the others feared, with the same purpose as they did in Bayi.

"It's all over yet?" Zhou Cong was a little unconvinced, he had already said it to that point, "Could it be that she really wants to make our family and uncle completely cut off the relationship and never get along?" ”

Wang Zhong sighed, turned around and walked to the window, looked through the glass, and looked at the snow scene outside the window: "If you want to break off the relationship, it's easy to get along with each other in old age and death, as long as you are ruthless, it's a matter of one word." ”

"When Little Tail was just born, I said those things you said to your uncle and Jin Yueji a long time ago."

Zhou Cong's eyes widened, his pupils were Zhou, and he said in disbelief: "Then she still dares to beat our little brother's idea?" ”

"If she really has this kind of thought, then it must be calculated that I care about your grandmother." Wang Zhong sighed.

If he had just crossed over, even if he had received the memories of the original body, it would only be a memory, not a subjective emotion, and Wang Chong would never have scrupled so much at that time.

But it's been 20 years, even if you raise a dog or a kitten, you have already developed feelings.

"Dad, is it possible that we misunderstood, after all, Little Tail is more than seven years old, and he has long remembered, even if you and my mother really agree, I'm afraid that Little Tail himself will not agree."

Zhou Cong remembered Zhou Ming's words, and he was a little uncertain.

After all, Little Tail is already seven years old, and he is no longer the little kid who can be easily deceived by someone for three years.

Wang Chong looked at the tangled Zhou Cong, smiled, and said: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, there's nothing wrong with that." ”

"And your mother's mother is not a simple character."

Jin Yueji has really experienced war, and she is used to seeing life and death, intrigue, and all kinds of conspiracies, how can her combat effectiveness be so little, if she really made up her mind, how could she be given up by Zhou Cong so lightly.

Saying that, Wang Chong shook his head: "Actually, I can't say it well." ”

Then he laughed and said: "Your father and I can't read minds, how can we know what others think in their hearts, besides, a person of her age, most of her life's experience, even if she really has any thoughts, it will not be so easy for us to see." ”

This is also the first time that the father and son have completely opened their hearts to communicate, and it is also the first time that Wang Chong has talked to his son about these bad things.

"Hey!" Thinking about it, Zhou Cong also sighed: "If she really plans to do this, isn't she sure that we are soft-hearted and don't want to fall out with the uncle!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Cong was a little resentful.

"Actually, the real key to this matter is not in your aunt and her mother." Wang Chongdao.

"Not on her?" Zhou Cong was a little puzzled, and then a familiar figure appeared in his mind: "Dad, you mean uncle······"

"That's right!" Wang Zhong sighed and said: "Your uncle is a fair and strict person, with clean sleeves, talent and ability, and he is a good official, but I have always looked down on him on family matters. ”

Zhou Cong's eyes also showed a bit of recollection: "At this point, the uncle is indeed a little too selfish. ”

"People have their own aspirations, but there is no way to do it, whether it is your uncle or your aunt, in their eyes, love is their faith, it is worth them to give up family and friends, give up the future, give up the future, give up some things."

Saying that, Wang Chong suddenly looked at Zhou Cong, and said in a rather solemn tone: "The reason why I tell you this is because I want you not to be too blind in dealing with feelings now or in the future, and don't learn from your uncle and aunt." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I won't." Zhou Cong said firmly.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Don't be too complacent, you will say this, it is because you have not met the girl you like." ”

"I hope that in the future, if you really meet a girl who makes your heart pound and even give everything to her, you can calm down and think about what Dad said to you today."

"In this life, it has been decades, it is not long, but it is not short, love is indeed beautiful, it is easy to make people intoxicated, and it makes people yearn for it.

But love is not the whole of life, in addition to Aiqing, there are also family affection, friendship, teacher-student affection, robe love, etc., these are also precious.

Love can be had, or it can be pursued, but if you want to give up something else for the sake of love, Dad hopes that when you make a decision, stop and think about it, think about your family, think about me and your mother, think about your grandparents, think about your younger brothers and sisters, think about your uncle and aunt. ”

Zhou Cong didn't nod immediately, but lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Dad, did you and Mom get married because of love?" ”

The corners of Wang Chong's mouth raised slightly, showing a smile, and the eyebrows were slightly raised: "Want to know?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Cong nodded seriously.

Wang Chongdao: "Okay, then Dad will talk to you today." ”

Zhou Cong immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Wang Chong with curiosity and anticipation.

Wang Zhong walked to the side of the bed, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the snow scene outside the window, and said slowly: "The first time I met your mother was in the winter of 69, outside the movie theater, it was snowing that day, the snow was very heavy, the north wind was very cold, and your mother followed your grandmother outside the movie theater to sell rock sugar gourds and popsicles.

At that time, your mother was only nineteen years old, and she was very beautiful with two long braids, and I was fascinated by her when I first saw yours.

At that time, I had the idea that I would not marry her in this life, so I began to try to inquire about your mother, her personality, and character······"

Listening carefully to the story of Wang Chong from acquaintance to love and then to marriage between him and Zheng Juan, Zhou Cong looked at Wang Chong and stopped talking.

Wang Zhong said: "Say whatever you want." ”

Zhou Cong took a few breaths, thought about it seriously, organized the language, and asked, "Dad, if, I mean if, if my mother wasn't so beautiful, virtuous, and not so kind, would you still marry her in the first place?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Of course not. ”

"Both men and women, always have a strong possessive desire for beautiful and beautiful things, when I first saw your mother, I thought that I must marry her home, at that time I didn't even know what your mother's name was, where she lived, what character, do you think this is love?"

"It's not!"

Wang Chongdao: "It's just a simple possessiveness, the desire to take good things for yourself, in my opinion, the so-called love at first sight is just a desire to see color." ”

Zhou Cong nodded and said, "So after you inquired about your mother's character and character, you determined that she was the person you were looking for, so you went to pursue your mother!" ”

Wang nodded, then turned to look at Zhou Cong, and said earnestly: "The reason why we are human is not only because we have an IQ that other animals do not have, but also because we have learned self-discipline and self-restraint, so as not to let ourselves be controlled by the desires in our hearts, and gradually derive morality and civilization." ”

"To be a man, you don't necessarily have to get ahead, but you must have a bottom line and persistence in your heart."

"I understand Dad, I won't let you down." Zhou Cong said with a firm expression.

Wang Chong said: "It doesn't matter if you let me down or not, the key is not to let yourself down, so as not to regret it when you are old in the future and look back on your life." ”

It was a bit too much to say at once, Wang Chong realized it later, raised his hand on Zhou Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "This topic ends here." Dad has one requirement for you: to be a person with a bottom line and morality, to be a person worthy of himself, the people of the country, and the world. ”

Zhou Cong clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with a bright glimmer: "I will work hard and work towards this goal." ”

"Good!"

praised Zhou Cong, Wang Chong changed the topic and said: "Also, don't think so badly about people, although people's hearts are in prison, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, but in this world, in addition to the wicked, there are still good people." ”

Zhou Cong nodded and said, "Just like Grandpa Ma and Grandma Qu, like Uncle Sun and Uncle Xiao, like those uncles and uncles in Xiaoshan Village." ”

Wang Zhong returned to his desk and sat down, and continued: "In fact, most of the good and evil are really difficult to judge, sometimes, we think that things are evil, but in the eyes of some people, they may not be evil, we think of good things, but in the eyes of some people, they are evil. ”

Saying that, Wang Chong shook his head, a little helpless: "Many things in the world are never black and white. ”

Zhou Cong seemed to understand something.

Wang Chongshu explained too much, but continued: "There is an old saying that suffering is a blessing, although this statement cannot be said to be completely true, it cannot be completely denied. ”

"Some losses can be eaten, some losses cannot be eaten, as for how to judge, it depends on the individual."

Taking this opportunity, Wang Chong simply said a little more, Zhou Cong nodded thoughtfully, he must have listened carefully, but only he knows if he understands it or not.

"I once saw a very interesting question, do you want to know?"

"Uh-huh!" Zhou Cong immediately nodded: "Yes." ”

Wang Chongdao: "Near a section of the railway, there are a lot of signs that are not allowed to approach the tracks, but in front of a fork in the road, on the normal tracks, there are more than a dozen children playing and playing, depending on the warning signs next to the reminder as if there is nothing, next to another long-abandoned track, there is also a child, and the dozen children are together, originally wanted to follow them to play, but saw the notice, did not dare to go down, and also dissuaded his friends, saying that it was very dangerous, but no one listened to him, He had to play alone on the abandoned railroad tracks while waiting for his friends.

At this point, a high-speed train is close at hand, and it is too late to dodge and brake, if you are the driver of the train, do you choose to let the train continue to follow the original route, or let it drive to the long-abandoned track? ”

After listening to Wang Chong's question, Zhou Cong lowered his head and fell into deep thought, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes flickered sharply.

After a long time, Zhou Cong raised his head and said, "If it were me, I would probably choose to let the train go to that long-abandoned track." ”

Wang Chong said with some emotion: "Yes! One life and a dozen lives, most people should choose this way. ”

"Dad, wouldn't you choose that?" Zhou Cong asked curiously.

Wang Zhong shook his head, "No! He didn't hesitate at all.

"Why?" Zhou Cong was puzzled.

Wang Chongdao: "More than a dozen lives are lives, but a life is also a life, everyone is born equal, there is no distinction between high and low, the child on the abandoned railroad track, he did not make any mistakes, and even reminded those children who ran to play on the normal railroad tracks, why should he bear the consequences that he did not have to bear because of the mistakes of others." ”

Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment, stunned on the spot, his mind was a little blank, as if only Wang Chong's words were left.

It's like a spring thunderstorm, deafening.

"Yes! A life is also a life, the child playing on the abandoned railroad tracks did not make any mistakes, while the dozen or so children on the railroad tracks ignored the warning signs and the child's advice. ”

But speaking of this person, Zhou Cong's face showed a little entanglement: "It's just ······ Just ······"

Wang Chongdao: "This is just a metaphor, not a fact, and there is no so-called standard answer, you don't have to be too entangled, Dad just wants to tell you a truth." ”

"Everyone is an independent individual, everyone has their own consciousness, at every stage of life, everyone will make their own choice, since they have made a choice, they must bear the corresponding consequences of this choice, others have no responsibility, no obligation, and will not bear it for you."

Zhou Cong instantly thought of Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Cong once heard Wang Chong and Li Suhua say that when Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei got married, it was completely voluntary for the two of them, and Zhou Bingyi already knew the fact that Hao Dongmei could not have children before the two got married.

But when things don't fall on them, many people always like to stand in what they think is so-called justice, to point fingers, to criticize others, to demand others, this or that.

Just like the child on the abandoned railroad track in that problem, knowing that the child is innocent, but most people still choose to let the train drive on the abandoned track, and it is a great good to sacrifice one life but save more than a dozen lives. ”

"In their opinion, it is better for one family to suffer than a dozen families."

But they are not the parents of the child, so how can they understand the pain? They are not the child, and how do they know that the child is willing to trade his own life for someone else's life.

Life is always equal and does not change by number, and no one has the right to deprive an innocent person of his reputation.

As the Analects says: Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if the child standing on the abandoned railroad track was their child, what choice do you think they would make? ”

Zhou Cong didn't know how to answer, and the answer had automatically appeared in his mind.

"Daddy, I'm ······"

"That's it!" Wang Chong interrupted Zhou Cong's words and said to him with a smile: "Having said so much in one breath, it will take time for you to accept it." ”

"In short, you don't care about your uncle's matter, with me and your mother here, the most important thing for you at the moment is to concentrate on studying, while there is still time, read more, study more, observe more, and since you have determined the major you want to study, then work hard and be admitted to the university of your choice."

"Although studying may not be the only way out, it is the easiest, easiest and fairest shortcut, people can not have a diploma, but they cannot do without culture."

"Look at me, it's been so many years since I graduated, but I still insist on studying."

"I got it, Dad! I will put all my mind on studying. Zhou Cong naturally understood what Wang Zhong meant.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's go back and rest, rest early, recuperate enough, adjust your state, don't think about these messy things."

"Dad, you should rest early, don't stay too late." Wang Chong often stayed in the study for hours before Zhou Cong said that.

"Okay, Dad knows it, you can rest quickly!"

Zhou Cong didn't persuade much, turned around and walked out of the study.

Looking at Zhou Cong's back, Wang Zhongzhong sighed again, time is like flowing water, passing away and not coming back, unconsciously, the eldest son has grown up and is sensible.
