Chapter 427 He is an ordinary person, both in his life
Ying Chengyu is in a very bad state recently.
If I want to let my mother know that he is very strong, very powerful, and will be fine, the difficulty is almost the same as reform.
He wants his mother to live well and live well. He also wants to change the world and make it closer to the world in his dreams. When reality and dreams collide, he wants to take care of both, but he can't think of a way.
He rode out of the city and asked no one to follow him, not even the Yue girl who had been secretly protecting him.
The morning sun rises from the horizon.
He heads towards the source of light and brightness.
The half-dry grass quickly retreated, and the strong wind kept beating in the face.
The horse under his crotch, which was raised in Yanmen County and had not been let out for a long time, ran away very fast. When the bit was restrained in its mouth, its front hooves rose more than one meter, and it neighed continuously.
He was riding a horse, and as far as he could see, the only blue sky and earth were vast and vast.
At the end of the eye, heaven and earth meet.
Meng Tian drove away the Xiongnu for 700 miles.
In these seven hundred miles, the Xiongnu did not dare to graze here, and the Qin people did not dare to live here - areas without cities and counties were not safe.
There is no human habitation for seven hundred miles, which is exactly what Yingcheng wants. He wants to be alone and talk to himself.
He jumped off the horse, led the horse, and walked casually without any goal.
Guessing the soft grass and the cool breeze, he smiled bitterly. The mess in his heart was still a mess, and he couldn't solve it at all.
He had made such a choice in his previous life. He had chosen a dream and regretted it to this day.
"I have been an ordinary person in my two lives. I will not be a hero in life, and I will not be a hero in death."
He muttered something suddenly, then stopped and spat hard.
"Damn! It's been too long since I traveled a long time. Why are you so sour when you talk when there's no one around?"
He continued to walk, and the horse followed suit. From time to time he would take a few mouthfuls of grass and spit out most of it. After summer, the grass was no longer tender.
In the sound of the horse spitting grass, Ying Chengji began to think about his previous life.
He was born in a small county in the north. Although his teachers praised him for being smart since elementary school, his grades were not outstanding and were above average.
More than one person has spoken about him.
"Do you know how many points you can get on the exam by reading those useless things? If you had focused on your books, you would have ranked first in the grade long ago."
His interests and hobbies are extremely broad. In a word, he is interested in things that are not useful for grades.
From how Qin Shihuang died, to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, to strange people and strange things in history, etc., he just likes to read books that his parents think are extremely useless.
Of course, this is no wonder his parents, who made him have such a wide range of interests?
Look at a little bit of everything, and only look at a little bit of everything, which is broad but not refined.
If you can get into a niche, such as history, read "Historical Records" and then read "Twenty-Four Histories", study it in depth, make headlines, and finally be admitted to the history department of a prestigious university, there is a high probability that his parents will not say anything about him
.
He has been talked about by his parents since he was a child. When he first entered high school, he was determined to study hard, get high scores, and go to a foreign university. It would take at least five days to go back and forth from home to school, and it was not suitable for him to come back during the 11-7 day holiday.
kind.
He persisted for two days, but boring mathematics, English that he didn't listen to, and physical education classes that he couldn't attend made him return to his old ways.
Every night before he goes to bed, he feels a little guilty, confessing that he shouldn't work hard. Every day before he closes his eyes, he tells himself that he will study hard starting from tomorrow.
As we talked, we talked about graduation.
In the college entrance examination, he was still above average, with more than two books but less than one. He wanted to apply to a university from another place, but when he filled out his application form, his first choice ended up being a university in the province.
His aunt, who was a teacher, persuaded his parents with professional knowledge that he did not understand, but his parents did not persuade him and directly made the choice for him.
"If you want to get enough points to go to Tsinghua University, you can pay whatever you like!"
He was not angry, just a little unhappy, but he quickly forgot about it. He cared about which university he would go to, but among the universities he could go to, there was no one he particularly cared about.
Is what his parents said wrong? His points are indeed not enough.
Who is to blame? It's because he was too playful in high school and didn't study seriously.
When it comes to regrets, he does have a little regret, but not much. He doesn't believe that he won't be able to survive if he doesn't go to a prestigious university.
There are 1.4 billion people in China. How many of them can graduate from prestigious universities? Even those who fail can live a good life.
Soon, the admission notice came.
He was admitted to his first choice, a provincial university, with a bachelor's degree. When his parents held a college entrance banquet, he stood on the stage and thanked his aunt so much that he shed tears.
If it weren’t for someone knowledgeable, how could my children have read this book?
Most local universities give preferential treatment to the local area and admit local students with low scores, except for Shandong and Henan.
He also said a few words of thanks, which seemed genuine and sincere.
His aunt was also moved, her eyes were red and she said to him:
"It's not easy for your parents to support your education. You should learn for yourself, not for your parents. How much money can your parents borrow from you? Look at your parents drafting dirty tricks every day just to make more money.
Isn’t this money all earned for you? After you go to college, study hard and look less at those useless things, otherwise you won’t be worthy of anyone!”
His father dropped out of junior high school, learned a trade, and worked part-time on construction sites.
My mother went to college and opened a breakfast shop.
He hummed heavily and didn't seem to take it to heart, but this time he was really sincere.
school starts.
Going to college for the first time, he looked forward to it very much.
Whether it was a primary school teacher or a middle school teacher, they all told them.
"Now study hard and go to a good university. No one in the university will care about you. You can play whatever you want."
The senior student who welcomes new students is very beautiful, and the senior student is very pretentious.
He was very excited the first night he moved into the dormitory. He still hadn't forgotten his aunt's earnest advice. He wanted to get a scholarship, join the student union, and join the party!
Soon, military training left him thinking about only one thing, rain.
After attending college for one year, he got his wish and spent a year in the student union during his sophomore year.
He quit the membership at the end of the year. He felt that the student union, regardless of gender, was really fake. If he hadn't promised to stay for a full year when he joined the union, he would have left long ago. He felt extremely uncomfortable with these idiots.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Go back and treat four good friends to a big meal to celebrate your escape from the sea of suffering. He invites everyone to stay overnight and have a good fight. He treats you.
Because joining the student union forced them to do too much, the five of them had only a handful of blackouts this year.
The four buddies cursed each other while eating:
"I asked you to retreat but you still won't retreat! What a joke! This broken student union doesn't even know why you're hanging around!"
He put on the expression of a man who promised a lot of money.
"When I joined the association, I said that I would work for a full year. This is called a commitment! A whole year! If you can't do it for one more day, you can't do it for one day less!"
He originally thought that his good buddies would call him awesome or stupid.
His guess was very correct. Three of the four people raised their thumbs and said they were awesome, and one person said he was stupid.
But what he didn't expect was...
The one who said idiot, the most slutty among the five of them, the scumbag who had seven or eight girlfriends in a year, said with a face full of hatred:
"You should finish welcoming the new couple before leaving! You are the only one among us who is still virgin!"
He suddenly realized it, regretted it, and drank a large glass of draft beer.
There is nothing commendable about the next three years of college life. It is just the daily life of an ordinary college student, falling in love, failing classes, and skipping classes.
If I had to mention something, it would be that he would go home not only on May Day, but also on National Day, and even on Qingming Festival, making those who took exams from other places envious.
The university is about an hour away from home.
At this time, he had long forgotten that he wanted to study at a university outside the province.
It's nice to be close to home, otherwise it would take three or four days to go back home, which would be a bit uncomfortable.
In his senior year, he took supplementary exams for five subjects before graduation and passed them all.
There are two invigilators, one is playing with his mobile phone in the back, and the other is sitting in the front sleeping. If this is not enough, then it is really heartless.
Graduation thesis, use a barbecue to ask experts for detailed guidance.
Go online and copy this and that, and start the Chinese-to-Chinese translation program. You will definitely not be able to deceive the teacher. You just have to deceive thousands of people.
In the final defense, there were seven questions in total, six were answered correctly, and I graduated successfully.
We invited experts to have a barbecue that night, and the topic was awesome!
The last person to settle the bill was the master, but he refused to let him go. He knew that the master's family was extremely poor and he had been born in poverty for four years.
The expert smiled and said:
"You always treat me to dinner, so why don't I treat you to this graduation dinner? I just got the scholarship and I have money."
He was really happy for the master, and the two had a drink.
As the yellow beer flowed into his stomach, he thought of his three goals when he was in college - joining the party, getting a scholarship, and joining the student union.
After graduation, he was not admitted to the Communist Party of China, and he was not eligible for a scholarship - he passed the exam with 60%, and he felt that even one extra point was a waste.
As for the student union, although he quit at the end of his freshman year, he quit on his own, so it should not be considered unfulfilled, right?
It's time to go to work.
He successfully found a job in car sales during the school recruitment process.
I went back and told my parents, but they didn't agree.
His parents also found him a job as a bank clerk.
In the eyes of my parents, this job that cost money and found someone is decent, stable and very good.
His parents hope that he can stay in this small northern county.
His parents are ordinary people who have worked hard in small counties all their lives and have a network of connections here.
These relationships, the money saved, and the house may not allow him to live a worry-free life, but it is enough to allow him to live a stable life.
He refused, very forcefully.
It's not that the job he found is good, or that he likes selling cars, but that the company that recruited him is in Shanghai, and he really wants to go out and see it.
Staying in this small county, he could see death at a glance, working in a bank from the age of twenty-two until retirement, getting married and having children.
Same and boring.
This kind of life is not what he wants. He is still young and he wants to make a breakthrough. He firmly believes that he can make a difference.
He felt that even if he died in Shanghai, it would be better than staying in a small county town.
He especially likes a saying:
The world is so big and I want to see it.
Having been made by his parents for more than 20 years, he made his own choice against his parents' wishes for the first time.
At that moment, he felt that he had grown up.
He embarked on the journey with the money he had saved from being a substitute teacher, tutoring, and delivering food for four years. He did not take the 10,000 yuan given by his parents. How could he still spend family money when he grew up?
The world is not what he thought.
He went not to Shanghai, but to a 4S store in Shanghai.
He has been here for a year. He has never been to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Disneyland, or the Bund where Brother Qiang hangs out.
He was so exhausted every day that when he finally had a day off, he just wanted to lie down in the rental house and play with his mobile phone.
I finally got into the mood and wanted to go out for fun and check the balance in my account. I silently ordered a barbecue takeout and used the free coupon. It cost me eighty-three yuan and I didn't have enough to eat.
He lost all interest.
In his house, mutton skewers cost one yuan a skewer and he could eat it for fifty.
He holds his mobile phone and reads things that are useless for his grades, but no one talks about him now.
A video call flashed on the screen, with the word "Mom" written on it. He hung up and made a voice call.
His mother asked him how he was doing and whether he was short of money.
He smiled and said that he was doing well, he was not short of money, he had just finished the barbecue and there was no need to worry about it.
His mother asked him to pick up the video, look at him, and miss him.
He looked around the ten-square-meter hut and said it was inconvenient to use the bathroom.
It was difficult to live in Shanghai. He couldn't afford to rent a single room, so he shared it with others. When renting, he chose the north bedroom because it was the cheapest.
After hanging up the phone, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to behave like a normal person and take the initiative to make a video call to his mother next time.
There was no future in car sales, so he submitted his resume while working, and resigned after three months.
Five years later, he has finally established a foothold in Shanghai, with a guaranteed monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.
Ten years later, he bought a house in the best neighborhood in his hometown. He thought he would never be able to afford a house in Shanghai.
The moment he paid the down payment, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but a sigh of relief.
Thirty years of mortgage payments sounded horribly long, and he was only thirty years old.
He worked harder and wanted to make further progress, but two years later, he was still in the same position and had made no progress.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He really tried his best, he really worked hard, but his salary just couldn't increase, and his job couldn't be promoted.
Is this my problem?
He asked himself.
More than ten years ago, he would have said that this was a social problem.
But now, he takes a sip of coffee, turns on the computer, and checks whether there is anything that needs to be improved in the PPT he will give tomorrow.
He spent less and less time looking at useless things, but his parents made more and more calls, and he became more and more impatient.
He is very busy and really doesn't have time to talk about family affairs.
What does the neighbor Uncle Wang's dog give birth to five pups have to do with him? What are you talking to him about?
He had to go home to pick up the wine he made every day. How much was the wine worth? He didn’t even have enough gas money to drive back.
He drove while fatigued, had a car accident, and died in Shanghai.
Before driving, he stayed up two nights making plans.
The night before, I received a phone call from home, and I only said two words.
He said impatiently:
"Yeah, yeah, I have time, I'm busy, I have nothing to do."
At the moment of the collision, his mind was in chaos, and two words lingered in his ears.
This sentence was said by my mother.
"When will you come back? Mom misses you, and your dad misses you too."
This sentence was said by my father.
"I didn't think so!"
Ying Chengyu let go of the horse's reins, lay on his back on the ground, closed his eyes, and put his hands to his ears making the sign of six.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I can't go back..."
He couldn't dispel his mother's doubts, and he really didn't want to go on an expedition.
He is an ordinary man, both in his life.
If his grandfather, King Qin Zhaoxiang, were alive, he would definitely be furious when he saw this scene.
"I imprisoned my mother for the Qin State, causing her to go on a hunger strike and die. I have no regrets! You, a bastard, hesitated and gave up on the great cause of opening up and expanding the territory because you were afraid that your mother would lose her life! You deserve your surname Ying!"
PS: I hope that the characters in my novels can make you feel that they are real people. People are contradictory and imperfect, and so is the protagonist. He is not a domineering emperor through the ages, nor a saint, he is just a lucky one
