Jiang Hua made a move to pull out the Hermès belt from his waist. Although it was much less powerful than an armed weapon, it was still a handy weapon to coordinate with Zhong Shanyue's performance.
Zhong Yuemin leaned back and said, "You two performed well at the double act. You sang and harmonized each other. I came all the way back to celebrate the New Year with you. It's so cold to my heart to do this."
Zhong Shanyue said politely: "Heart? Do you have a heart? If you really have a heart, don't let me, an old man, worry about it. There is no certainty all day long. If you want to change careers, I will follow you, but if you change careers, come back and find a job."
, as long as you can go to work conscientiously, I, as a father, will respect you, as my son."
Jiang Hua nodded: "This is a kiss for me. You can see through Zhong Yuemin's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys at a glance. In the end, this guy has never thought about living quietly. What he wants is stimulation, the crazy secretion of adrenaline."
."
Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "Dad, didn't you tell me that it's enough for a family to have a mature child? I'm an underachiever, so just leave me alone."
Zhong Shanyue's eyebrows were so angry that he reached out to the belt around his waist with one hand, and pointed at Zhong Yuemin with the other hand and said: "I have been raising children for more than thirty years, and I gave birth to a thing like you.
Everyone hopes that their children will become successful, okay, my son volunteered to be a loach in the sewer, tell me what happened to your father's face?"
Zhong Yuemin laughed and said: "You can't always act based on other people's faces in your life. I don't care what they think of them. Besides, how mature your eldest son is, but if you look around the whole compound, there is nothing
There must be someone more promising than him, he has a bright face."
"If I don't make progress, how could I have a son like you? My reputation will be ruined in one day."
Zhong Yuemin said nonchalantly: "Okay, dad, I've complained, so don't go on acting. You don't know all about my virtues. It's useless to talk too much. I can only say, try not to be blind."
Isn’t it okay to just mess around without causing trouble?”
"This is what you said." Zhong Shanyue immediately changed his face: "I remember your words, a man must speak his mind."
Zhong Yuemin stood up, walked around Zhong Shanyue twice, and said in confusion: "Where is the comrade Zhong Shanyue who would rather break than bend, and was so courageous? He is obviously an old fox."
"Okay, stop yelling, let's cook the mutton in Donglaishun tonight."
Zhong Yuemin clapped his hands and said, "This is good. It's very cold. The meat is cooked in a copper stove. It's hot."
Zhong Shanyue objected: "Eat at home and go out to restaurants all day long. If you don't have enough money, you can't afford it."
"This is not a waste," Jiang Hua said with a smile, "I am here to stimulate domestic demand and contribute to the economy."
Zhong Yuemin pulled Zhong Shanyue to stand up: "My brother is right. This is to contribute to the economy. Old comrades must support it. At this moment, your second son is particularly eager to cook meat. Don't get discouraged. Besides,
Your eldest son has a lot of money, but he still cares about a meal of hot-boiled meat."
Although Zhong Shanyue was pulled up, he still said reluctantly: "Everyone is a prodigal. It is a glorious tradition to be hardworking and simple. I remember when I grew up like you, I had to eat chaff to build a new society.
How can we build the country if we are as bad as you are? Besides, does Zhong Yuemin, a brat like him, deserve to be boiled with mutton?"
The old man got a little into the act today, and he still can't extricate himself.
Jiang Hua supported Zhong Shanyue and said, "Okay, old comrade, if you want to see it, you can leave it alone. You won't be comfortable eating shabu-shabu in the winter. Zhong Yuemin will pay for it today, and you can also enjoy the filial piety of the second son."
Zhong Shanyue looked at Zhong Yuemin and asked, "Are you treating me today?"
Zhong Yuemin squeezed the thick stack of banknotes in his pocket and nodded with a smile: Yes, I'm treating you today, as a courtesy to you.
Zhong Shanyue nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll accept it. You are my son, and what I eat is absolutely justified."
Jiang Hua also chimed in: "Yes, it's absolutely natural. It doesn't matter whether he eats or not, he can be beaten."
"That's right." Zhong Shanyue said as he walked: "I am his father. I can whip him if I want to. There is no need for any reason to whip him."
On the way to Donglaishun, I kept hearing Zhong Shanyue criticizing Zhong Yuemin, as if this kid had committed a heinous crime that was unforgivable. The old man had completely taken on the role.
When they arrived at Donglaishun, Zhong Yuemin said: "Dad, for the sake of my treat and the sake of the mutton, please stop scolding me during the meal and let me eat a few pieces of meat in peace."
Is that possible?"
Zhong Shanyue knew his son so well that he hit the nail on the head as soon as he spoke: "Is this your treat? Can you spare 100 yuan?"
Zhong Yuemin took out the money, waved it around for a few times, and said proudly: "Take a look and see if this is money. Why do you still have questions about my treat now?"
"Haha." Zhong Shanyue said with a smile: "You have to take out one hundred and two hundred, and I can still believe that it is your money. You have taken out so much at once. I definitely don't believe that you can save so much."
The money, this is the pocket money your brother gave you, right?"
Zhong Yuemin even laughed: "No, you are my biological father and you have so little confidence in me. Can't I save some money for my wife?"
Zhong Shanyue retorted unceremoniously: "Because I am your biological father, I know you very well. Since you were young, when have you been able to save enough food? When you have wine today, you will be drunk the next day.
No matter what is right or wrong in the Ming Dynasty, do you want to save money for your wife? Do you have any plans to marry a wife? "
Jiang Hua interrupted and said: "Yuemin, you better stop being so stubborn. You are definitely your biological son. Otherwise, if I can't understand you so well, you just have to accept your fate. The higher the Tao, the higher the demon."
The steaming pot was brought to the table. The father and son took the mutton and cooked it in the pot, dipping it in various toppings. It was so delicious that they threw it away with a slap in the face.
"Dad, I said today that we should streamline our troops and streamline our administration. This is my chance. I will try to come back professionally after the Chinese New Year."
Zhong Shanyue shook his head: "It's not very realistic. Although there is a need to streamline the army and streamline administration, there has not been a large-scale operation. Young elite officers like you have basically no way to change careers."
"Then when can I become professional?"
Zhong Shanyue said: "It won't be long. There has been news that there will be major layoffs. I estimate that it will only take a year or two. Wait patiently. Your brother said that if you want to change careers, you have to show some shamelessness.
I have to sharpen my spirit every now and then to leave an impression on my superiors."
Zhong Yuemin nodded: "Okay, isn't it just shameless? I'm familiar with this matter."
