I suddenly remembered something, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked those two people to see you off."
"No need." Ding Xiang said.
But I suddenly felt that this was the best, so I stretched out my hand to Kang Demao, "Isn't it just a good day to lend me your mobile phone? Let Ding Xiang and Director Qiao get to know each other better. Wouldn't it be more convenient to do examinations and other things in the future?"
And she can come to your home to check you in the future."
Kang Demao hesitated for a moment and then handed me the phone.
I remembered Jordan's number and immediately called her, "Director Qiao, could you please come back and pick up Kang Mi's wife?"
"Okay, I'll be right back. Lao Mu happened to have a social event and he just got off the car. You are still where you were just now, right?" she said.
I said: "Yes. Thank you then, we will wait for you here. I will trouble you from now on about my classmate's wife."
"Why are you so polite to me?" she laughed on the phone.
"She'll be here soon." After hanging up the phone, I said to Kang Demao and Ding Xiang, but I was thinking: This Muzi Li seems to be really busy.
"Brother, thank you." Kang Demao came over and patted me on the shoulder.
Ding Xiang also said: "Thank you, Feng Xiao."
Jordan arrived soon, and Kang Demao helped her get into the car. In fact, Ding Xiang's abdomen was not obvious at all yet, which made Kang Demao's attentiveness a bit funny. I went to say to Jordan: "Thank you, Ding Xiang
I’m going to trouble you. Haha! I don’t think you will become good friends.”
"Definitely." Jordan said with a laugh.
Kang Demao immediately expressed his gratitude to her. After a few polite words, Jordan drove away.
"Feng Xiao, is there anything delicious around here?" Kang Demao turned around and asked me with a smile.
At this moment, my state of mind feels much better. This shows that it is not the best way for a person to be alone when he is extremely sad or lonely. What he needs most at this time is friends, true friends. So, now I have one
I really wanted to drink. So I said to him: "Let's stay away from here. How about the riverside?"
He said, "Okay, whatever you say will happen today."
"Then let's take a taxi instead of driving," I said.
"Okay, let's take a taxi." He answered simply.
So we soon arrived at a restaurant by the river and sat down by the window. Kang Demao was ordering food, and I turned sideways to look out the window.
The scenery outside the window is a bit desolate, with few pedestrians, and only a few appear occasionally. They are all wearing heavy clothes, but the trees on the street don't seem to be afraid of the cold, because they actually have to take off their green coats in such a season.
The remaining naked body was swaying in the cold wind. The river surface in the distance seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness. The green water surface in summer has now turned into a gray-green color. The passing ships were moving awkwardly, swaying.
The water waves soon returned to calm.
To be honest, I don't like winter, because it is too desolate, and because it seems a bit clumsy everywhere, making people in our city the same, as if they are tied up by an invisible rope.
"Feng Xiao, what are you looking at?" Kang Demao had already ordered the food and asked me, "It has happened. What you need now is to cheer up. Governor Huang is very optimistic about you."
I shook my head and thought: Isn't that necessarily the case? That matter was originally an arrangement of Lin Yu. But it was impossible for me to say such a thing, so I said to him: "Demao, tell me the truth.
Am I really suitable for the job you have now?"
He smiled and said: "There is no question of whether you are suitable or not. There is only a question of whether you like it or not. For anyone, you will only know whether you are suitable or not after you sit in that position. But then again,
Whether you are suitable or not is not something we can determine by ourselves. Just as long as the leader thinks you can do it. Feng Xiao, let me give you an analogy. Maybe my analogy is not appropriate and may be arrogant. I think, if the organization allows me to be a local
As for the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of a first-level city, I can still do it. Administrative work is actually not that complicated, but it is just a matter of the butt that determines the head. In other words, you will naturally know after the superiors ask you to sit in a certain seat.
How should I do it myself?”
I said: "Of course I believe you can do it. But I don't completely agree with what you say. For example, if you ask me to sit in the position of municipal party committee secretary now, I definitely don't know how to do it."
He smiled and said: "Of course, what I just said is predicated. It is impossible for the organization to directly promote a doctor like you to be the secretary of the municipal party committee, and it is impossible to promote me like that. Haha! By the way, Feng Xiao,
You’re not a party member yet, are you?”
I smiled bitterly and said, "If someone like me becomes a party member, wouldn't it bring discredit on the face of our great party?"
He looked at me and after a while smiled, "You, you are really very innocent sometimes."
I smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I originally thought."
He said: "Well, how about you join the Jiusan Society? You have a senior professional title, and they are willing to recruit people like you."
I shook my head, "Forget it, I like freedom."
He said to me seriously: "There are limits to freedom. The status of democratic parties in our country is getting higher and higher, and there must be one in the leadership team of the provincial government. The same is true for local governments at all levels.
Feng Xiao, you listen to me and you must try your best to obtain a political identity, which will be more beneficial to your future development."
When I saw what he said, although I didn't completely agree with his point of view, I felt that he was also concerned about me, so I thought about it and said, "Okay."
He raised his glass to me and said, "Come, let's drink. The past is in the past. Each of us will encounter a lot of unpleasant things in our lives. Just let it go."
"De Mao, I want to ask you, do you believe in ghosts after death?" I drank it, but suddenly remembered the incident, so I asked him immediately.
He looked at me in astonishment, "Feng Xiao, have you recently..."
I immediately told him what happened yesterday, and then said, "De Mao, could it be that my child really saw his mother's soul?"
Of course, I didn't tell him what Lin Yi told me.
He shook his head, "It's hard to say. Anyway, I haven't seen it myself. But when I was a child, I lived in a rural area and heard a lot of stories like this. In fact, I was very scared at that time and didn't dare to go there at night.
Peeing outside. However, it’s hard to talk about such a thing. I wish I had that thing, so that at least I wouldn’t be too desperate. Haha! Think about it, if a person really has nothing after death,
Wouldn't that be too tragic? Today's society is becoming more and more impetuous. People are desperately trying to get benefits for their own interests, even at any cost. If everyone believes that there is such a thing, it will be beneficial, because in this way
At least everyone has something to fear, and they will be more restrained when doing things. Don’t you think so?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you go so far as to talk about that? I'm asking you, do you think it's possible for something like that to really exist? We are old classmates. Tell me the truth."
Mao, this is not a superstitious thing. Maybe there are some things that our current science cannot prove whether they really exist. Now, I am also very doubtful, because there were problems in both of my marriages, which made me unable to
Don’t start believing in fate.”
He looked at me and said, "Feng Xiao, you are a doctor, you shouldn't believe it."
I said, "But how do you explain what happened to my child?"
He smiled and said: "You are still a doctor. Children are so young, and their brains may not be fully developed, so it is difficult to say whether they will have hallucinations. Children cannot speak, and we always use adult thinking to understand some of their
Behavior itself is unscientific. Don’t you think so?”
"Maybe." Although I think his words still seem a bit far-fetched, at least it makes me feel that this is a more reasonable explanation. So, I felt a lot more relaxed.
"Feng Xiao, maybe it's not appropriate for me to tell you some things today, but I have to say it. Regarding your marriage, I don't think it is a life-or-death issue. Look at me, my marriage
Wasn't it the same in the past? And everything I had in the past. So, I feel that the most important thing a person should believe in is himself. Only he can completely believe in himself and believe that the world is fair. No, fair is not a big word.
The appropriate word should be balance. In other words, there are always gains and losses in our lives. When we gain something, we should think more about what we have lost. When we lose, we should think more about why we lost it. In this way
You can become calm. In fact, it is very simple to say that a person's life is only a few decades. But think about it conversely, since each of us is like this, everyone's life is only a few decades, at most more than a hundred years.
, has been like this since ancient times, so we should think more about how to live well in these decades. If your career fails, then work hard, if your marriage fails, then look for a new lover. This is what we should do most.
Why do you have to dwell on the past? Some things have to be let go, and learning to let them go is the most important thing." He said to me sincerely.
I was silent because I knew what he said was right, but it would not be so easy for me to actually do what he said. What a person needs to defeat is often ourselves, and defeating ourselves is by no means only
It's as easy as just shouting a slogan.
"A Zen master asked the monks what to do when a pot of water is about to boil but there is no more firewood. Some of the monks replied that they should go chop the firewood immediately, and some said that they would use the temple's firewood.
sesame oil, anyway everyone talks about how to find firewood.
Later, the Zen master said, why don't you want to give up? Can't you just pour out part of the water in the pot? Feng Xiao, do you understand my story? Some things must be given up, so that you can achieve yourself.
the most fundamental purpose.
We are men, and men should realize their biggest dreams instead of settling for the status quo. There are not many opportunities that a person can encounter in his life. I am the first person like you who encounters opportunities but refuses them instead.
Saw it once.
Of course, you can say that being a doctor is your biggest dream. So Feng Xiao, let me ask you, do you think you are really that qualified a doctor? Are you really willing to be a doctor for the rest of your life? I think,
It’s not that you don’t want to make progress, but that you are afraid of taking on more responsibilities and trying new things.
As the saying goes, kindness from acquaintances should be repaid by a spring. If a person can be appreciated by the leader, that is the greatest opportunity and blessing. Do you think so, Feng Xiao?" He continued to say to me.
Although I felt that his words obviously contained his personal subjective consciousness, my heart was moved by his sincerity. I knew that if he did not truly regard me as a good friend, he would never say these words to me.
