Chapter 218: The Family Education of Zhao Guan's Family
"Official family, Zhao Qian has returned from Jiangning."
After hearing the report, Zhao Jiaren raised his head and smiled, "Let him come in."
It is now May of the Song Dynasty, and the plum rain season is almost over. Zhao Qian is about to graduate. Seeing his son holding an umbrella and stepping in from outside, his movements are showing that he is very healthy. Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile.
"Dad." Zhao Qian walked up quickly, "I miss you very much."
Zhao Jiaren gave his son a hug, then pulled his son into the house and sat down. Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "I don't know if you can use what I taught you."
Zhao Qian said with some shame: "Dad used to say that an expert is a hiding sentence when watching the fun. Most people in this world are incomprehensible white necks that they can't understand. This time, the dam is really like this. I am self-righteous and have been deceived by others several times and offended many people. Even if I didn't cause a big disaster, I was so scared that I didn't dare to talk nonsense."
Zhao Jiaren smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's normal. When I was a child, I was self-righteous, and then I got a bruised face. If I no longer want to be the other person's decision, I can make progress. If I can make my own decision, I will continue to make progress. If I dare to let others be their own decision, I will make progress even more progress."
Hearing that my father was so open-minded, Zhao Qian also relaxed a little, and he sighed: "Dad, I used to think that doing things is just about making decisions."
"Well, I used to think so."
"But I have worked so hard to do so much, but the world cannot revolve around me. I feel unhappy."
“I have had that stage, too.”
"I don't think Dad has thought so much."
"When you really have a look at the world, you have to be six, seven, seven or eight years old. At that time, I was almost thirty years old. Even now, every time I encounter failure and setbacks, every time my predictions are different from what I think, I can't help but want to be the master of this world. But after this thought comes out, I feel that this thought is not good for me, so I give up."
“…Isn’t it not for the officials to make mistakes?”
"That's nonsense among literati. Officials are also people, and they also need to learn and make progress. Besides, the word "making mistakes" is wrong. In management, it is called "out of expectations". Right and wrong are final things. The influence of many things is far greater and longer than what we expected when we did it. Of course, there are many things that end sooner than we do."
Facing my father's tolerance and guidance, Zhao Qian was silent for a while and said under the pain: "...I think I can forget what others have done, but I can't forgive what I did. As a result, neither I nor others can forgive me."
"If you can't forget, take it. You will be in your arms more and more until you can't walk. If you are still trying to continue to make progress at that time, you have to learn to let go. As long as the pain is still there, you have to learn to be kind to yourself and others..."
"Official family, Dalang finally came back. You tell him so many things that are uncomfortable to listen to." Qin Yuzhen's voice sounded outside the door. As he spoke, Qin Yuzhen walked in from outside. It can be seen that his son rarely came back, and Qin Yuzhen liked it very much.
When Zhao Qian greeted his mother and sat back on the sofa, Zhao Jiaren ignored his wife at all and continued, "Dalang, when I was young, I thought it was the peacock feather on the peacock's body. It was dazzling when I stood up. I read the book and my predecessors were told that their virtues made people want to worship them. I felt that it was enough to die in the morning and evening. Later, I realized that virtues were not attached to my body. It was the sharp teeth that had to grow from our bodies to solve the problem. Two years ago, I saw you growing wisdom teeth, and you were so painful that you wanted to cut off the flesh wrapped around your teeth with a knife, and then pull out the wisdom teeth. Letting them never grow out is the process of possessing virtue."
This example made Zhao Qian nod his head repeatedly, and he felt that his father said that it was in his heart. It was not a short-term pain, but a long torture. Even if he endured so much torture, Zhao Qian felt that wisdom teeth were not only useless, but also made him even more uncomfortable.
Zhao Jiaren sighed: "Your wisdom teeth are not growing properly, and the new anesthetic is coming out. Wait for another year or two and your wisdom teeth will not grow at all. Go and remove them."
"Can you pull it out?" Zhao Qian became happy.
"The anesthetic technology has improved, and the level of anti-inflammatory drugs has also improved. Finally, you can perform surgery more safely. If you have been a soldier, you should naturally know that the location of your wisdom teeth is in the fatal area. After removing a wisdom tooth, a wound with a depth of nearly one centimeter and an area of more than one square centimeter will form. It is considered a minor injury."
Qin Yuzhen listened to Zhao Jiaren's description and inexplicably knew that the surgery to remove wisdom teeth seemed unsafe, so she felt uncomfortable. Looking at Zhao Jiaren calmly describing the pain, her son, a science and engineering man, listened carefully with an agreement on his face, which made Qin Yuzhen even more unhappy.
It has been bride with Zhao Jiaren for thirty years. What Qin Yuzhen dislikes the most is listening to Zhao Jiaren’s reasoning. Those cruel and cruel truths are particularly comfortable and love and hate by Zhao Jiaren, and are also told of a bloody and gloomy feeling.
"Eat, eat." Qin Yuzhen decided to end such a conversation.
"No need. Let Dalang go back. His family is pregnant, so let him go home and take a look."
"I'd better stay for a meal first." Zhao Qian said quickly.
Seeing his wife happily taking her son to the restaurant, Zhao Jiaren did not get up immediately, but lit a cigarette. The little lady Qin Yuzhen liked was really good, and Zhao Jiaren admired her very much. Although she reluctantly married Zhao Qian, at least the matchmaker married her. Zhao Jiaren's eldest daughter-in-law had a good education and graduated from the physics department of Hangzhou University. The girl's family is well-off, and her father's family is a big landlord. Her personal worldview is very materialistic and she is not afraid of Zhao Qian at all. Because his family accepted Zhao Jiaren's suggestion, she sold the 200,000 acres of land in the family and then switched to another industry. The child also received a very generous dowry. If Zhao Qian married her, she could protect Zhao Qian's safety.
Zhao Qian returned to Hangzhou this time and came to see Zhao Jiaren first. So Zhao Jiaren thought that Zhao Qian would rush home to have dinner first, and when can't he go back to his parents for dinner. It is best to build the emotional infrastructure better after getting married. However, Qin Yuzhen seemed to not consider this issue. Zhao Jiaren also felt a little regretful.
After extinguishing less than half of the cigarettes, Zhao Jiaren got up and went to the restaurant. Walking on the road, he felt that the nature of a doctor sometimes made Zhao Jiaren often at the level of a free society. As a psychiatrist, Zhao Jiaren knew that the feelings of most humans and the so-called thoughts in his mind were from physical reactions, not the so-called "that oneself thinks it out". If something really needs to be done according to facts, it is the so-called "anti-human".
However, he felt uncomfortable because Zhao Jiaren did not "anti-humanity". Human beings are such a difficult creature.
All the things said at the dinner table were happy. The situation at home and the changes in life. Qin Yuzhen asked Zhao Qian what was happy in Jiangning. Zhao Jiaren's hand was paused when he picked up the food. Then Zhao Jiaren pretended to be nothing and continued to eat and drink soup. Then he heard Zhao Qian talk about his experience of working with the best engineering experts in the Song Dynasty. It was not the same department, but the transfer of more than 30 experts, including the army. College students like Zhao Qian could only be a small construction site leader in the team.
When Qin Yuzhen heard the fate of his son, his smile disappeared a lot. Zhao Qian continued to tell happily about the amazing things of the experts and the great significance of the cross-river bridges built in Jiangning. They built deep steel and concrete piles in the river channel and welded the steel bars with aluminum heater. A steel and concrete bridge deck was built on the thick bridge piles, and the steamboat could easily pass under the bridge.
In addition to bridges, many heavy cement water gates are installed on the river dams that also build cement piles. When closing the water gate during the dry period, the water level inside the Qinhuai River channel can exceed seven meters. When opening the water gate during the flood period, it can easily discharge floods.
Halfway through hearing this, Qin Yuzhen said, "Hurry up and eat, you have to go home after you finish it."
After Zhao Qian left, Zhao Jiaren asked Qin Yuzhen, "Or do we have time to go to Jiangning to have a look?"
"No." Qin Yuzhen immediately refused. His son worked so hard in Jiangning, so Qin Yuzhen didn't want to go to that place.
Zhao Jiaren didn't say much. Jiangning's recent situation has developed very well in the eyes of the court. It is undoubtedly a disaster for the landlords. Last year, Jiangning moved 10,000 poor people, and they sold more than 10,000 acres of land to the court when they left. The landlords were forced to sell 30,000 acres of land this year. The tenants looked down upon the most were the tenants, and the tenants were the tenants the most. But without the tenants, who would rent the landlords' land?
More than 10,000 people are in the Great Plain area, and Jiangning has moved to more than 20,000 poor people this year. In addition, some middle-aged and upper-level landlords who were originally studying sold land to the city, and Jiangning's government farms have added many contiguous land. It won't take long before the self-sufficiency rural old economic system will be eliminated. Jiangning is just a representative.
However, Zhao Jiaren did not think that this process would be warm and affectionate. At least at this stage, a cruel war was being carried out in the northern battlefield. Thirty thousand cavalry still went upstream along the river to suppress the Mongolian tribes that drove away the herds. After experiencing the wars of the past year, the number of tribes that went to those rivers was much smaller. The report shows that the number of people killed by the Song army's cavalry was even higher than last year.
Zhao Jiaren was not surprised. There were fewer enemies, but the Song cavalry was not worried about being beaten up and could fully perform.
