Chapter 430: Encountering Youth Chapter 430: Helping Dreams When they rushed to the hotel, snowflakes were falling from the sky. Halfway through the meal, the snowflakes were falling and nothing could be seen outside.

"What a heavy snow!" Ouyang sighed: "The latitude here is not high, but it snows a lot every winter."

"Because the cold air from Siberia passes over the sea, the air humidity greatly increases, and encounters the obstruction of hilly terrain on its way south, so orographic precipitation forms."

"You're really good at geography."

"I still remember what I learned in the first year of high school. I am a science student, and I haven't studied geography since I was in the second year of high school."

"Have you decided what major to study in the future?"

"No. If you have other dreams now, it would be disloyal to the dream of being a pilot."

"...It turns out that you are not only loyal to your friends, but also to your dreams."

Xie Chong buried his head in eating steak and didn't want to talk about his dream anymore.

"I have never experienced the college entrance examination, and I don't know how cruel it is. However, I really admire the way you work hard for the college entrance examination. When you get excellent results, the joy of success will come in droves, and then you can realize the meaning of struggle.

.”

"If I were born with a silver spoon in my mouth like you, I wouldn't work so hard. Who doesn't want to live an easy life?"

Ouyang smiled and said: "I'm not idle, I work very hard, right?"

"I work hard to have a better way out, to make my family proud of me, and to make them all live a better life. But the purpose of your hard work is to realize the value of life."

Ouyang stopped eating, raised his ears, and listened carefully to what Xie Chong said.

Xie Chong looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window and said: "I dare say that ninety-nine percent of my classmates are worried about how to get into a good university. Go to a big city and have a look, and then find a good university."

Better jobs. But outside the small town, our peers have

Some are worried that climate warming will affect the living environment of polar bears, some are worried that human activities will destroy the ecological balance of the Amazon, some are trapped by love, and some are worried about which dream to realize... Everyone is in a different class.

The needs will also be different.”

"Hey, at such a young age, you actually understand Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory?"

Xie Chong was confused: "What is that?"

"Ah...it turns out you don't understand."

Xie Chong really didn't understand, but he was not to be outdone: "I'm just a high school student with a short knowledge. If I understand everything you said, then you will have lived so many years in vain."

"Okay... I just want to know, will you be distressed by the distress you just had? Because your distress is just for a better survival."

"No." The lights in the western restaurant were dim, but Xie Chong's eyes were shining: "As long as I don't mess around, I can live a straight life."

Ouyang couldn't help but applaud: "You are more mature than I thought."

"Although we have met many times, you don't know me well."

Ouyang smiled and said, "Then how much do you know about me?"

"I came from a well-known family and grew up abroad. I rejected the opportunity to stay abroad and returned to China with my wife. Now I am a well-known host in the country and have a happy family... Isn't this level of understanding?"

"Then I'm proficient in four languages, translated and published collections while in college, got a double degree in art and law, practiced piano to a performance level, and also worked as an ice hockey player for a short time. Do you know this?"

Xie Chong was dumbfounded, while Ouyang was a little proud: "When I was in college, a newspaper did an exclusive interview with me, and the title was 'Which window did God close for him?'"

Xie Chong originally thought he was good, but after hearing Ouyang's words, he lowered his head. This is what Ouyang can call the all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, a typical flowering of both culture and style.

"Don't be discouraged." Ouyang pretended to encourage: "You will be very powerful in the future."

"What's the name of the collection you translated? I'll read it when I have time."

"Stop reading, you can't understand even if you read it."

…

Xie Chong couldn't help but get angry: "You can show off how awesome you are, but you can't look down on me! My Chinese reading comprehension is the best in our class!"

"But Latin literature cannot be understood through your reading comprehension thinking. It relies more on a sense of atmosphere." Ouyang wiped his mouth gracefully and said: "For example, you are very happy to attend a party now.

Your friends are having a great time, the music suits your taste, the wine is delicious, everything is very beautiful, so beautiful that you forget all your worries, as if there has never been such a beautiful night in your life. You are simply too happy, and then you

He jumped into the swimming pool and committed suicide."

Bangdang...

Xie Chong dropped the knife and fork in his hand.

His brain was working rapidly, thinking desperately - what is the function of the description of the scenery here? What psychological state of the protagonist is reflected? What contradictions are highlighted by the protagonist's sudden suicide?

Ouyang smiled slightly and understood Xie Chong's confusion: "I'm just telling you, even if I tell you, you won't understand."

"It's so confusing, how can I understand it?"

"These literary works cannot be understood according to conventional ideas. Many descriptions and dialogues are like fragments. You cannot piece together the complete pattern, only a vague outline. If you have to interpret the story just now, it is at the end.

Die in a happy moment. Can you understand this theme?"

Xie Chong shook his head decisively. He didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

"Don't waste your brain thinking." Ouyang no longer showed off his superiority, but said sincerely: "To understand what I translated, in addition to having enough reading, you also need to understand various modern literary and artistic trends. No

It’s impossible to understand with enough accumulation.”

Damn it, he pretended to do it again.

Xie Chong chewed the steak mechanically and said: "One day, I will also say something you don't understand, so that you can't get off the stage."

Ouyang smiled and said: "You can bury this goal deep in your heart, and when that day comes, you can laugh at me as much as you want."

"Hey, I originally wanted to admire you, but your attitude is too irritating and makes me seem very petty."

"...Okay, you are so petty and you will blame me for it."

Ouyang's cell phone rang. After he said a few words, he started to touch his pocket, as if looking for paper and pen. Seeing this, Xie Chong hurriedly handed him his paper and pen. But Ouyang spent a long time on the phone, and he didn't say a word.

None were written.

After hanging up the phone, drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xie Chong said: "Just remember it! I'm not a spy. Even if I see what you remember, I won't tell others."

Ouyang shook his head melancholy and muttered something, but refused to record it. He turned the goblet and said abruptly: "Did you grow up in Guangzhou when you were a child?"

"Well, from birth to ten years old."

"Oh...then after so many years, you must have forgotten Cantonese, right?"

Xie Chong said confidently: "How is it possible? Learning a language is like learning to ride a bicycle or swim. Over time, you will become unfamiliar, but with a little practice, you will become familiar with it. Don't you also know several languages?

?You should know this truth better than me!"

"Oh..." Ouyang was a little distracted: "You speak Mandarin so well without any accent. I thought you had forgotten Cantonese a long time ago."

"I couldn't speak Mandarin before I went to elementary school, so I couldn't communicate with others when I returned to my hometown. My parents enrolled me in a special class for young hosts. I hosted all the activities in the school."

Ouyang then said: "The phone call just now was made to me by a Cantonese. He agreed to my interview, but what he said..."

"You didn't understand?!"

Ouyang remained silent and drank a glass of wine melancholy.

Xie Chong laughed loudly: "Oh! No wonder you didn't remember a single word. It turns out you didn't understand!"

Ouyang's face turned slightly red. It's neither admitting nor denying. He said ambiguously: "It's okay. Just wait until I call him to confirm."

"Do you think it's embarrassing to beg me? It doesn't matter, I won't laugh at you! If you call me back, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?"

Ouyang risked his life: "I only need to figure out one thing."

"What?"

"He said that he came with his wife. His wife is disabled and has difficulty moving, so she needs me to prepare 'green crab beans' in advance. He emphasized several times that this should be a very important thing."

Xie Chong continued to laugh: "It turns out that you also have something that you don't understand. It's such a big circle, so I'm embarrassed to ask you!" Bayi Chinese Website

"You said you won't laugh at me." Ouyang's face turned even redder: "I heard everything else, but I didn't understand this one. And I feel it's very important, so I must understand it."

"This is simple, I can tell you, but you are not allowed to mention how prominent your family is in front of me in the future."

"...I didn't want to say it at first, it was you who asked."

"Green channel. Really, you can't understand such a simple thing. Didn't you say that your dad is from Hong Kong? You can't even understand such a simple Cantonese?"

Ouyang patted the table: "Ah! So that's what it meant! Sure enough, I guessed it right! My father is from Hong Kong, but I am not. I just haven't learned Cantonese. If I had, I would have learned it long ago!"

Ouyang is also a very proud person. Although he maintains modesty and grace on the surface, he is very competitive in his heart and will never be willing to fall behind others. Xie Chong guessed what he was thinking, but did not reveal it. He still gave it to this arrogant Zhong.

Young people, please save some face!

After paying the bill, I walked out of the restaurant. There was a thick layer of snow outside. There were no pedestrians on the road, and even taxis were nowhere to be seen.

Xie Chong was very worried: "How will I go back to school tonight? I can't walk back, right?"

"Come live with me!" Ouyang said, "The hotel I live in is not far from here. It only takes a few minutes to walk."

"Hey, I hope I don't delay my morning self-study tomorrow morning." Xie Chong pretended to complain: "As soon as you come to me, I will be unlucky. Although I ate well just now, I don't miss that delicious meal! I

I don’t want the teacher to scold me!”
