"Retire early. Dad, why bother? Make room for young people. Didn't I say it? Mom has worked hard all her life. You can take her out to have fun. Life is short, and once you come to this world
It’s not an easy trip, so we should take a good look at the great rivers and mountains in this world. Don’t you think so?” I advised.
Suddenly, Azhu stood up and ran inside. Only then did I realize that what I just said touched her pain.
The mother hurriedly followed. The father shook his head and sighed: "Feng Xiao, you don't understand the feelings of our generation towards the country."
I was silent for a moment. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It was Lin Yu, "Feng Xiao, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Huang tomorrow. He said he hopes you can come with him. Are you free?"
"Okay. I'll contact you tomorrow." I said.
She hung up the phone, and I smiled bitterly and said to my father: "Look, I'm going out again tomorrow night. Secretary Lin asked me to go with her to pay New Year's greetings to Governor Huang."
I said this with a sense of pride, but I never expected that my father would suddenly ask me: "Feng Xiao, what is your relationship with Secretary Lin?"
My father's eyes were serious, even a little sharp. I suddenly felt panicked.
I was silent. At the same time, I also hated my silence, because the meaning of this silence was self-evident. But I didn't know how to answer my father's question for a while. My heart was too flustered.
The father's eyes softened, "Feng Xiao, we are an ordinary family. Your mother and I are both honest and responsible people. You have read a lot, so you should understand some truth. Now you have become the son-in-law of our richest man in Jiangnan.
This is your fate. Although your mother and I were a little uneasy about this matter at the beginning, we think this is good. At least it will allow you to relax and engage in your academic studies instead of working hard for money.
To make mistakes. So, I hope you will never do some things again. I know people in the officialdom best, although I have never been an official in my life. The higher the official position, the more ruthless the officials tend to be, because such people are
Those who have gone through countless struggles, many of the things they have experienced can even be said to be horrifying. These people have often experienced a process of walking on thin ice and trembling with fear, so they are more ruthless and cruel than ordinary people. Feng Xiao, I have no other
What do you mean? I just feel that there is no need for you to have contact with such high-level officials. This will not do you any good unless you also want to enter their ranks. But I don’t want you to do this. How good is it to be a doctor? It’s safe.
, How good would it be to live a stable life for the rest of your life? Do you think so?"
My father spoke in a low tone and spoke with sincerity. However, I felt that his words were too extreme, so when he said these words, I kept thinking: How should I answer his previous question? When he said that senior officials are ruthless and cruel
At that moment, I suddenly thought of the way to answer.
But there was no other way, so I said: "Dad, you have misunderstood. Secretary Lin is actually a student of Governor Huang, and there is another relationship between them. I won't go into details about this, you should be able to imagine it."
Ever since Secretary Lin came to see me for medical treatment, she insisted on recognizing me as her brother, so I always called her sister. Also, Governor Huang used to be the principal of a university and later the director of the Provincial Education Commission. Although he and Lin
The secretary has that kind of relationship, but I heard that this man is very honest and very knowledgeable. And there is a reason why Secretary Lin has that kind of relationship with him. It involves Secretary Lin’s marriage. I also know Secretary Lin’s ex-husband.
We also had dinner together several times. He is now the commissioner of a region in our province and he is a pretty good person. He has a good relationship with Chen Yuan’s father. Dad, I don’t want to rely on them for anything, but I feel that I always
I can learn a lot from the first time I am with them. Recently I am planning to apply for a scientific research project. This project is relatively advanced in the country and even the world, but my seniority is too low, so I am worried that this project will not be approved.
When I came down, I thought, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to have dinner with Governor Huang this time?”
I was stammering at the beginning, but later it became smoother and my mind opened up.
The father's face slowly changed, becoming more and more kind, "That's it. It seems that I really misunderstood. But why does Vice Governor Huang want you to have dinner with him?"
I was shocked again: Yes, why? My mind was thinking like lightning, and I immediately replied: "I don't know either? Maybe Secretary Lin has something on his mind? What happened to my classmate Kang Demao?"
Secretary Lin did it all by himself, I have to give Secretary Lin this face, right? Oh, by the way, once Secretary Lin had a physical problem, and Governor Huang personally sent her to the hospital for me to perform the surgery. At that time, I thought
That incident had a bad impact on him, so I asked him to leave immediately. I guess that incident made him think I was pretty good."
I didn’t say specifically what went wrong with Lin Yu that time, because I felt that I could only go so far. You know, if my father hadn’t asked me about it, I wouldn’t even have said it.
of.
"Oh, that's it." Father said, "Then you should go tomorrow. Feng Xiao, I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see you have problems in the future. As the saying goes, parents in the world are pitiful, you have to understand."
I felt extremely guilty and moved at the same time, so I whispered: "Dad, I know."
"Okay, you are tired too. Go to bed early. The child sleeps very well and sleeps seventeen or eight hours a day, which means he is still very healthy. Don't worry, we will take good care of them while we are here.
In fact, we also know that it will be very inconvenient for you if we have been living in your home. We are too nagging. Let’s wait until we retire to take care of your children. There is one more thing I can only ask you quietly.
, Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about it? What if Chen Yuan never wakes up? Do you really want to stay with her like this for the rest of your life? Life only lasts a few decades, do you think it is worth it?" The father's words changed.
Be very soft.
"Chen Yuan is so pitiful. She has become like this just to have a child. How can I bear to abandon her? Dad, I understand what you mean, but I can't do it if you want me to leave her alone." I said, looking sad.
"That's okay. I understand. So, it's better for your mother and I not to live with you for the time being," said the father.
"It doesn't matter, does it? The house is so spacious, it doesn't matter." I said hurriedly.
"You are still young, you have to live your own life. We have seen some things, and if we don't care about them, we feel that we have failed to fulfill our parental responsibilities, but if we criticize you, we feel that it is too cruel to you. Hey! You child,
It's too painful. Okay, you go to sleep. I'm tired too. Your mother and Azhu don't know what they're talking about, and they haven't come out after so long. Azhu is a nice girl, but she's too simple.
.Okay, let’s not talk anymore.” My father said and stood up without coming to see me, and then went to the room where he slept.
I stood here in a daze, not understanding the meaning of my father's words for a while. I thought about it carefully, and after a while I finally figured it out, and my heart suddenly became filled with mixed emotions.
The meaning of my father's words was obvious. He was thinking that Chen Yuan has become like this now, but I am not only young and lively, but my personal life must be considered. In this case, if he and his mother live in my house,
Does the family take care of it or not? That’s why he decided to leave. And his last words had more profound meaning. Of course I understood it, but I felt it was completely impossible and even more inappropriate.
Poor parents in the world. Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. Yes, it is difficult to be a parent.
One thing is strange to me: Su Hua didn't come today. Maybe she was just impulsive? That's fine. I thought to myself. Of course I won't take the initiative to call her.
I went to the hospital the next morning. Director Zhang said that I would be fully responsible for the obstetrics and gynecology department soon, so I thought I should go to the hospital for a checkup before I felt relieved.
As the Spring Festival approaches, there are many fewer patients in the ward, and the outpatient volume is also smaller. I know that at this time, if it is not a last resort, these patients will not come to the hospital, let alone be hospitalized. So I asked to be on duty.
Doctors and nurses try to be polite and gentle to patients.
After inspecting the outpatient clinic and ward, I returned to the office. I wanted to take this opportunity to think about the scientific research project, and at the same time, I also carefully studied the information Zheng Dazhuang gave me. When I was immersed in it, I suddenly received a call. It was Ding Xiang.
The caller said, "Dr. Feng, Happy Chinese New Year! I wish you a happy New Year!"
Her voice was very nice, and my mood suddenly became happy, "Teacher Ding, I also wish you a happy Spring Festival!"
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you are so unfamiliar with me?" She suddenly became dissatisfied.
I laughed, "You called me Dr. Feng first? Why are you blaming me?"
"I'm a woman." She said, and then she laughed like a silver bell, and my ears were filled with a crisp and sweet sound. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Dingxiang, are you being too unreasonable?"
"This is the privilege of us women, haha!" She laughed, "By the way, let me ask you, where are you going to spend the Spring Festival?"
"I'm just staying in the provincial capital. What's wrong?" I said.
"Great, then you can treat me to dinner when I come back from my hometown." She smiled.
"No problem." I said.
"The sausages and bacon made by my parents are delicious. I will bring you some when the time comes." She added.
"No need. It's very troublesome for you, a girl, to bring things from such a distance. Where can't you buy those things now? No, really." I said.
"The taste is completely different. You will know when you taste it," she said.
"Forget it, let me thank you first." I said, and then ordered: "Bring less, it will be very troublesome."
"You think I want to bring you a lot? You think so!" She laughed. (To be continued)
