Chapter 38 Thoughts
Ding Yi silently returned to his bedroom. He did not dig out the treasures he had collected under the bed as before, nor did he read a book. Instead, he began to seriously think about his future for the first time in his life.
Ding Li came over and wanted to ask about the situation, but his parents had sternly explained it. Ding Yi also knew that this was for the sake of his brothers and did not tell him. This matter was an eternal secret among the three people in the family. Ding Yi knew that his father and his father had
Mom will definitely give Ding Li and Ding Yun a gag order, telling them not to ask Ding Yi to inquire about this matter again.
Ding Yi lay on his back on the bed, staring at the roof in a daze. Too many stories happened tonight, and even now Ding Yi still feels unreal. And he has received too many messages today, which makes Ding Yi a little overwhelmed. He wants to
Sort it out well.
It can be said that I lived a somewhat ignorant life in the past, and I was really a little too fanatical about cultivation. I had never really considered how I would go in the future if I could not be selected for the Transcendent Festival. In fact, to be precise, I was
I have always deliberately avoided this issue and never thought about it in this direction.
No matter how dazzling your dreams are, they must eventually return to reality. Now is the time to face it with a clear head, and really calm down and think about what your future should be like.
Now it seems that the road to cultivation is mostly unworkable. There has never been any monks in his family. He is counting on the probability of one in 100,000. To be honest, Ding Yi himself is not confident enough. Learning puppetry from Duoduo is also a way, but
The formation level almost destroyed Ding Yi's confidence and made him feel that this road was not easy to follow. How should he plan for the future and take a path that suits him? Do he want to continue Ding Zhaoding's old path?
, to be a small boss in a workshop? Ding Yi is very confused.
Lancôme's speech tonight also made Ding Yi confused. The enthusiasm for cultivation had faded a bit. The intrigues among cultivators made him tired. The attitude of his parents also affected Ding Yi to some extent.
I don’t know whether it was Mu Yanran’s half-assed performance of “Daigo Yin” that impacted Ding Yi’s soul, or whether it was the subsequent performances by various monks in the Mu Garden that stirred up Ding Yi’s soul. Ding Yi was so excited that he couldn’t sleep. He was so godless.
Staring at the roof, my thoughts were racing, but I couldn't come up with a good answer.
The mottled marks on the old ceiling slowly deformed in Ding Yi's pupils, turning into a goblin for a while, and then a ghost again. Ding Yi looked at it in a daze. A big tear slipped quietly, and his eyes were full of tears.
, fell into sleep unconsciously.
In the morning, Ding Yi, who was still sleeping, was woken up by his father. A new day began again. Poor mortals had no time to complain. No matter how much suffering they suffered, they had to wipe away their tears and continue their lives.
"Xiao Yi, your mother and I discussed it last night. You may not know the value of the things you got back last night." Ding Zhaoding considered his words.
"My mother's and my opinion is that you return it to the current owner of the ancestral house." This may be worth more than a thousand gold dollars, so Ding Zhaoding must be cautious.
"Oh? How much are those things worth?" Ding Yi still only thinks of silver and gold dollars as a huge amount of money. When his mother took out the items in the lucky bag yesterday, he recognized those items.
Things, but there is no concept of money. These things should not be worth several gold dollars, Ding Yi once thought this way.
"I estimate that it should be worth at least a thousand gold yuan." Ding Zhaoding told his son honestly. He believed that his son
You will understand the reason for doing this.
"What? A thousand gold dollars?" Ding Yi was shocked. Ding Yi had never thought that those three inconspicuous items would be so valuable. He thought they were only worth three or four gold dollars.
"I don't think the owner of Muyuan will accept it. Their family is very rich, and the eldest brother who took me in yesterday gave me a gift. I think he is the one I should thank." After calming down, Ding Yi
replied.
Cultivators look down on mortals. Who knows what kind of character the owner of Muyuan is. If returning the lucky bag is considered an insult to him, that would be terrible.
Ding Zhaoding also felt that his son's analysis was reasonable.
"Why don't you take these things first?" The father took out the few things.
"How about you sell them," Ding Yi said after thinking about it.
"First pay off the family's debts, and use the remaining money for my eldest brother to go to school. This way he doesn't have to borrow money for his travel expenses to Phoenix, and it also allows him to study with peace of mind at school, without having to work half-time.
, my uncle has also wanted to open a stall for a long time. I really don’t like the sarcastic words my aunt says every time. It’s time to buy some new things at home. Look at my desk, there are only three items.
The legs are the same length, and the remaining one needs to be padded with bricks. I haven't worn new clothes yet, so this time we all need to wear new clothes."
"What if the big brother who gives you gifts wants these things?" Ding Zhaoding was still worried.
"They will return to the capital in a few days, and brother Lan Xuan is very nice, so he won't care." Ding Yi said. Thinking of Lan Xuan's chance encounter with him, this cheerful and handsome brother may never be seen again.
When they arrived, Ding Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Ding Zhaoding's eyes were moist, "Xiao Yi, good boy." Ding Zhaoding tried his best not to let tears flow down. But he was so choked that he could no longer speak.
Ding Yi believes that his family will get better and better. He can imagine his sister Ding Yun wearing a beautiful pleated skirt and her cheerful laughter, his brother Ding Li reading in the study with peace of mind, and his father's gramophone has been replaced with a new model.
Mom no longer has to be unhappy in front of her aunt.
When I arrived at Xu Ji's Puppet Shop, there was still half an hour before work. Unlike yesterday, the only one who arrived at Xu Ji at this time was Ding Yi. Today, there are many more employees. It seems that Ding Yi's reforms have touched most of the people.
Human nerves, whether it's the stupid bird flying first or some other reason, the current working atmosphere is still good.
Duoduo just came back from outside. It seems that after digesting all day yesterday, Duoduo should be able to eat normally today. Because when Duoduo came back, he still had two pancakes in his hand and another in the other hand.
A jar of vanilla honey.
Ding Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet Duoduo. This was a friend whom Ding Yi recognized very much. Although his evil appearance, rude behavior, and irritable personality would disgust many people, Ding Yi did not find him annoying at all.
On the contrary, you will be willing to get close to him because of his frankness and simplicity.
"Here, eat quickly." Duoduo went to buy breakfast for him early in the morning.
However, Ding Yi had already eaten breakfast. Ding Yi expressed his gratitude to Duoduo for his behavior. Duoduo had no choice but to give breakfast to Xu Ji's handyman Xiaoye.
After learning that Ding Yi was in good health, Duoduo's uneasy heart was somewhat relieved. You must know that after Ding Yi left yesterday, Duoduo felt guilty and blamed himself all night. If such a good young talent for learning puppetry was ruined, he would never
Forgive yourself.
When Xu Rongfa saw Ding Yi walking into the store, he was extremely enthusiastic. This was an important pillar for his future success. He was also very concerned about Ding Yi's health. Seeing that everything seemed normal to Ding Yi, he asked about it
After receiving Ding Yi's assurance about Ding Yi's physical condition, Xu Rongfa felt relieved.
Duoduo impatiently dragged Ding Yi to his office almost forcefully. In fact, Ding Yi didn't really like dealing with Xu Rongfa. Although this was his boss, Ding Yi always felt that this person was too philistine, too shrewd, and too
Being scheming is not as good as being honest and straightforward.
Ding Yi rejected Duoduo's cramming memory request. Instead, he asked Duoduo about his experience in learning puppetry to see if there was anything he could learn from it. The answer he got was actually the conclusion that 'practice makes perfect'.
This is like an apprentice in a pharmacy. Over the past few years, he has memorized the characteristics of hundreds of herbal medicines, dozens of commonly used prescriptions, knowledge of pharmacology, principles of drug preparation, yin and yang and five elements, and five elements and six qi.
, I don’t know what monarchs, ministers, and envoys are. However, apprentices are used to seeing patients and taking medicines according to prescriptions. Based on their familiarity with medicinal materials, they have gained some knowledge of pathology and medication in the process, and they can also solve common minor problems.
Duoduo is like such a pharmacy apprentice. What can Ding Yi learn from him?
Is there no other way to memorize all these specious formation combinations by rote memorization? Is there no other way? Ding Yi fell into deep thought.
If I could enter the mythical world again and use the special functions of the mythical world, could I find a way? This idea popped into my mind.
If you think of it, do it immediately.
This is often the case. Unintentionally, he entered the mythical empire. However, he deliberately tried to enter, but he could not. Tossing and turning, Ding Yi changed several sleeping positions, but he could not enter the mythical empire.
Unknowingly, perhaps because of tiredness or other reasons, Ding Yi fell asleep in the end.
So when Duoduo came back again, he was surprised to find Ding Yi curled up and sleeping on his big swivel chair.
Duoduo put a thin blanket on his good friend to prevent him from catching cold, and then left the room.
Xu Rongfa was inspecting the workshop. He also wanted to see if he could tap into the work potential. Like all capitalists, extracting workers' surplus value is what they like to do most.
That kid Ding Yi must have other ways to improve his efficacy. It was really a wrong decision to ask him to learn Lao Shizi's puppetry from Duoduo. But facing Duoduo guarding Ding Yi like a calf, he had no choice.
.
He didn't want this secret weapon to be exposed. If the family knew about Ding Yi's existence, what would happen to Xu Rongfa?
Everything in the workshop runs very smoothly, and Duoduo will check the quality from time to time. Due to the increase in production capacity, he also has to play the role of an array master, helping Jia Shiyuan and Lu Shiji carve the array, inlay the elemental stones, and make the array base.
The workers were a little strange because the magical child did not come to work in the workshop today. This fast-growing young man is definitely a legend to them. Many people talked about it with their families when they went home, and they were all amazed, especially the
