Chapter Seventy-Four: Uncle Wu
"How can this be, when we call them to pay New Year's greetings, isn't it okay? My aunt has been asking me to go shopping, why don't they tell us when it's so difficult? ”
"Xiao Yuan, what should we do, can we do something to help them?"
"The difficulties they are facing now are not something we can help with, don't you see that they don't want us to know?"
"The only thing we can do now is pretend that nothing has happened, and I'm sure they'll come up with a solution."
"Even if it can't be solved, I don't think it's a big deal, they're almost old enough to retire. I've worked hard for most of my life, and it's good to rest. ”
I threw the words I used to comfort myself and Wu Kai to Yaoyao again. Now we can't give them anything but innocuous comfort, so we can only choose to be invisible.
But this is obviously not the result that Yaoyao wants, in the emotional face of the woman will always choose to be irrational, I can already see it from her panic just now.
"No, we have to find a way to help them, we can't just give up. You're right, they may need to rest, but it's a successful retirement, not a forced choice like the one they have now. ”
When Yaoyao said this, her tone was obviously more assertive, she didn't lose the panic just now, and her eyes were surprisingly resolute.
Before I could explain it to her, she had already pulled out her phone and dialed it. This girl is like this, vigorous and resolute, and execution is always before ideas.
"Dad, how much money do we have in our family now?"
"Can you lend me a million?"
"Ah, no, no, it's not for me."
"It's Uncle Wu's company that is in trouble and now needs capital turnover."
"Oh, well, I'll ask my uncle and uncle again."
"Uh-huh, um-hmm, I will, thank you dad."
"Hey, little uncle, how much money do you have now?"
"Five hundred?"
"No, I'm asking how much money your family has. Alas, forget it, let me ask my aunt, forgive you and don't know how much money your family has. ”
"Hey, auntie. Oh, Xiao Yuan and I came to Uncle Wu's side today to pay New Year's greetings, tomorrow, tomorrow to accompany you shopping. ”
"Well, well, well, I told him, let him take Tingting, okay."
"Auntie, let me ask you, how much money does your family have now?"
"Huh? Oh no, no, it's not that we need money. It's Uncle Wu, and there's something wrong with their company's business, so I want to borrow some money from you to help them. ”
"Okay, auntie. Let's do it first, I'll get it from you if I need it, and I'll ask my uncle again. ”
"Well, okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Hey, uncle....."
"Uncle...... Grandpa"
"Uncle ...... Three Cousins"
......
"Okay, okay, thank you Uncle Chen, thank you Uncle Chen."
"Yes, great, Xiao Yuan, I got 1 million for Uncle Wu."
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu......"
Before I could reach out to stop her, she had already jumped out of the kitchen, and I groaned in my heart. hurriedly finished the work in his hand, untied the apron tied around his waist and chased out.
In just a few steps, I was so apprehensive in my heart, I kept praying that Yaoyao didn't do anything drastic.
When I saw Uncle Wu and Aunt Xie sitting on the sofa, their faces full of red light and smiling, the boulder hanging in my heart finally fell.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm done. Hurry up and sit down and rest for a while, they all said that you don't need to get it, you have to rush to get it. ”
I haven't approached yet, Aunt Xie has already spoken, and it is true that every time we come over for dinner, we rush to help, but every time it ends in failure.
But today, Yaoyao and I didn't let them join hands no matter what, and in the end, our stubbornness prevailed, and even Wu Kai was kicked out of the kitchen by us.
"Have you ever seen a child who doesn't do housework when he comes home, since he was a child, you have taught us to help the family do what we can, why can't we wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen?"
"That's it, Auntie, every time we come over, you make us feel like you're going back to your own home, and every time I go home, my mother directs me to do this and that. How can anyone go home and just wait for dinner, and don't care about anything after eating? ”
"Besides, you see that this guy is tall and energetic, and if he is not allowed to do some work, he will be uncomfortable."
"So if there is anything in the future, you will let him do it, he has the strength, you don't have to worry about using him badly."
"You kid, if you want to say that the cow is tall and the horse is big, you see that Kai Kai is not even taller and bigger, you see that as soon as he comes home, he sits there like an uncle, and he doesn't want to move his buttocks."
"It's you and Xiaoyuan, every time you come over, you rush to do this and that. I also joked with your Uncle Wu that Xiao Yuan is like our son, and Kai Kai is like we picked it up. ”
"Ahem, ahem, that, mom, your own son is still here, it's inappropriate for you to say this in front of me, right?"
"You still have the face to say, look at yourself, as soon as you go home, you will be like a big young master, and you don't know how to help the broom when it falls."
"When I say this, you are already giving you face, if I change my previous temper, I will directly beat you out."
After listening to his mother's words, Wu Kai was also speechless for a while, so he could only touch his nose in embarrassment, and then lowered his head silently.
Several of us were also amused, and Uncle Wu's brows, which had already opened, bloomed like flowers at this time.
"Okay, okay, don't squeeze your son anymore, aren't you afraid that he will be angry with you and run away from home?"
"I can't ask for it, I'm glad he really has that temper. At least a little backbone, like a man. ”
Wu Kai just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but as soon as he thought of something, he raised his head and buried it deeply.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Xiaoyuan, Yaoyao, thank you. I discussed it with your aunt before, so I won't tell you about these things. ”
"I didn't expect Kai Kai to have such a bad mouth, but he still told you about it. Now that I know, I won't hide it from you."
"Indeed, our company has encountered some challenges in the past two years, and your aunt and I have been trying to find ways to solve them."
"So you don't have to worry, we've been in business for almost 20 years, and we've all experienced all kinds of ups and downs. This little difficulty at hand is nothing, and we will take care of it. ”
"You're young now, you don't have any savings, and you're going around borrowing money from us. Let's not talk about whether we are really in such a difficult situation, do you think that the money you borrowed is difficult for me and your aunt to use? ”
"Anyway, your aunt and I thank you. I wish I was a teacher more than a successful businessman. ”
"I don't have much knowledge to impart, but I hope that my life experience can help more people."
"So it's the same in business over the years, I care more about how many people I can help than how much money I make."
"Your aunt has always said that I am a woman's kindness, and even she understands the truth as a woman, and I haven't understood it after reading it for so many years."
"Actually, how could I not understand what they said. It's just that I can't get past this hurdle in my heart, wealth never belongs to anyone, it only belongs to those who are good at using it. ”
"The reason why we can have more wealth than others is only because we have seized more social resources than others, so we can't treat wealth as our own private property, but should use it to give back to society."
"Now that the company is running a problem, I don't think it's so hard to lose my wealth, the only thing I feel uncomfortable is that we may not be able to help more people."
"As you know, we've had a lot of opportunities over the years. Whether it's going to Southeast Asia or moving back to a mainland city, we all have the opportunity to do better. ”
"No matter how bad it is, I learn from others and relax the quality requirements, then we can also live well."
"But if I do that, I will lose my original purpose of doing business, and no matter how much wealth I accumulate, it will be meaningless."
"So, you don't have to worry about me and my aunt, even if one day the company can't do it. We don't have any regrets, and we've helped a lot of people over the years. ”
"And Yaoyao, hurry up and return the money you borrowed from your relatives. You are still young, and it is very bad for you to carry such a large amount of debt. ”
"Xiaoyuan, my uncle has always said that he wants you to come to the company to help, and now it seems that there is no chance. You have to work hard yourself, and with your ability and talent, you will definitely make a difference wherever you go. ”
"By the way, I also wrote a piece of writing for you, and I'll take it back when you get back later. Uncle didn't have much success in this life, but I'm proud to see that you all have your own futures. ”
"Uncle, look at what you are talking about, you are already an insurmountable mountain for us, and we still have a lot to learn from you."
"Okay, Xiaoyuan, let's not praise each other. Don't worry, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I and your aunt, we will not give up. ”
"You and Yaoyao just take good care of yourself, don't worry about me and your aunt."
"And Kai Kai, you too, you should have a little bit of your own thinking. Mom and Dad have been trying to protect you, but now it seems that we can't protect you anymore. ”
"You'll have to go all the way on your own, and your mother and I are limited in what we can do for you now."
"However, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, our requirements for you are to be healthy and safe."
"As for how much money you make, how big a house you buy, what kind of car you drive. These are things outside of my body, and I haven't cared about them in my life, and I hope you don't care about them. ”
"In this life, we will pursue a lot of things, and there will be a lot of value to be realized. So don't make more money as a goal, but rather make your own growth and value a goal. ”
"Xiaoyuan, Kaikai, you two have the current relationship, which is what we are willing to see. In this life, people will know many people and connect with many people. ”
But there may not be one who can really be called a friend, or even a confidant. Although the two of you are fighting all day long, I can see that you are all sincerely hoping for each other's better. ”
"It's a great thing, and sincerity is the most important cornerstone of any of our relationships. The two of you have similar personalities, but Xiaoyuan is more meticulous, and you also bear more. ”
"This uncle and aunt are all in their eyes and are very grateful to you. We haven't been by Kai Kai's side since we were young, and he is lucky to have a friend like you, a brother, who helps him everywhere and maintains him. ”
"Seeing you like this now, your aunt and I actually have nothing to worry about, especially Yaoyao. Uncle and aunt really want to thank you, you stupid boy, don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future. ”
"Although Xiaoyuan is not our child, your aunt and I have watched him grow up. He has had more hardships and twists and turns than others along the way. ”
"It's good that now you are by her side with her, you two are kind-hearted children, and you will think about both of you, and I don't worry about you on this."
"But you also have to pay attention to the fact that communication is very important when two people get along. Sometimes it's okay to think about the other person, but you have to express it, you have to say it. ”
"Communication is a two-way street, and if you don't feel the need for what you're doing must be understandable to both parties, then it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong in your relationship."
"Of course, if there is a conflict between two people, if there is a disagreement, you must also say it. Something is on the table so that the problem can be solved. ”
......
Later, he said a lot, but I couldn't listen to it. Looking at this man who was once as majestic as a mountain, he explained to us word by word.
That feeling made me unable to breathe, Wu Kai also sat next to him, trying to calm the emotions in his heart.
Finally, after the two of us looked at each other for an unknown number of years, we got up together and chose to get up and leave.
Ran out of the living room, out of the house, out of the neighborhood. We don't remember how long we walked, and by the time we finally stopped, there were no pedestrians in sight.
After enduring the tears of the afternoon, he finally couldn't hold back, Wu Kai sobbed while desperately pressing the lighter in his hand.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it to shine in the end, so I pulled out my lighter and lit the cigarette in our mouths.
After silently smoking a cigarette, we got up and walked back again. A few hours of walking, in addition to exhausting our physical strength, also released all the pent-up emotions in my heart.
When we got home, the three of them were still sitting in the living room whispering something. However, it is no longer Uncle Wu's personal performance, but three people who are discussing back and forth.
When they saw us back, they just raised their eyelids and looked at us, and then went back to their discussion.
