Then in the kitchen where the service staff had left, Yang Weifan actually brought in a sack of seafood and let Moody look at it one by one. While no one was around, the mother and son also began a heart-to-heart talk.
dialogue.
"Son, you have to tell me the truth. Did you do anything you shouldn't have done in Bincheng?"
Moody looked at those sea treasures again and again, touched them again and again, and suddenly asked.
"Mom, what do you mean?" Yang Weifan was completely confused.
"I'm asking you, have you done anything to help those people in Bincheng in our name? That's why they gave you such good things. Don't be afraid, tell mom. Can mom still stand by you?
This side? Mom is afraid that you don’t know the depth, so if there is any trouble, I have to help you deal with it first."
"Mom, I didn't tell them about our family in Bincheng. What can they ask of me? Besides, didn't your ears tell you all the troubles I got into, Mom? Just to save people, force a person to
A fishing boat has gone to sea!"
"That's it? Is there anything else?"
"Also, I lent them a small building in Bincheng to live in for a few days. And... and then I gave them some cans and let them go into my defense area to fish for sea cucumbers. That's all, it's all me
I brought it up on my own initiative, not because someone asked me..."
"That's all?" Moody looked at Yang Weifan seriously. "That's why I don't believe it. How can these ordinary people's children thank you so much? Are they so down-to-earth and so generous? These things are worth a lot of money.
.”
Yang Weifan was a little unhappy. "Mom, how can you say that! What happened to the people? Not to mention others, you always know how my grandma Feng treats me, right? And Feng Yuan..."
When this was mentioned, Moody's color changed a bit.
"Okay, okay, I guess mom was wrong. Son, I just find it unbelievable and unreasonable. Do you know that these things are enough to pay a worker for ten years..."
"Tch, what's this! Mom, there are no absolutes in anything! Do you remember that I told you that I have money and can support you? I'm not kidding. I tell you, the two brothers who came here today were in
Bincheng also gave me 40,000 yuan."
"Ah?!" Moody yelled and froze.
"Mom, don't be afraid. Let me tell you, didn't I agree to them fishing for sea cucumbers in my defense area last year? Later, they fished out 800 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers and insisted on giving me 300 kilograms. I don't understand this either.
I didn't take it seriously and kept it in their hands. Later, the price of sea cucumbers increased. When they actually gave me the money, I was shocked. And I was very lucky.
Not long after the over 100 yuan was sold, the market failed..."
"Mom, actually I know that you have always been worried about me making friends. You are afraid that others will approach me with impure motives. But think about it, if you want to give away such a large sum of money to others, I am afraid that they will not mention it for a long time. They will not mention it.
What kind of human nature do you think it is to give it to me? Besides, you saw it today. Not to mention that I kept the situation at home hidden from them all the time. Even if they now know about my father's official position, they have nothing to ask for from our family.
, You really don’t care about us. Aren’t you still worried?”
"On the contrary, there are also some 'big courtyard children' who are not open-minded. Look at the fat son of Commander Liu, our courtyard boy. Apart from showing off his father's family medals all day long, there is nothing serious about him. He spends all day hanging out.
In 'Old Moer', even if you are not casual, you will say bad words and hurt others. I don't understand, where does this kind of second-rate person's sense of superiority come from? Are you willing for me to make such a friend?"
"Okay, let's not talk about what's in front of us from afar, but what about my brothers and sisters? Don't look at them. They all have a lofty attitude, looking down on all living beings. Look down on this, look down on that. But the reason why they can
"Having the motherland in mind and looking at the world" means being "detached" to the point of not being down-to-earth. That's because when they were children, they basically had no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation. That's why they can be "detached". Just like in sports, when they are "unlucky" they are
How about it, why don't you keep your eyes on a few eggs and a handful of firewood?"
"Moreover, what do they do in the face of real money? Aren't they jealous of the 20,000 yuan in back wages from home? Some time ago, Dad's situation was not good. They were afraid that they would be short-handed and lose you.
What have they been forced to do? There is no love left! How can they compare to friends like me who help them in times of need?"
At this point, Moody had no choice but to admit that she sighed helplessly.
"Looking at it this way, your friends are all kind-hearted. However, their jobs, experiences and identities are not very nice... If you associate with them, it is not in line with your identity, and it will definitely cause gossip.
, you have to consider your own future..."
"Future?" Yang Weifan interrupted with a smile, quite disapproving.
"Mom, do we lack a future in our lives? What we lack is love and righteousness. What's more, these things you are worried about are nothing compared to some guys who are smiling on the surface and stabbing you in the back. I advise you
In a word, you might as well discuss it with dad and give all the money to my brother and sister. Why don’t you become a mother if I give all my money to you? We, the two of you, will not fight with them for that small amount of money. We don’t want a cent and let them fight for themselves.
Let's go. Let's save our worries and have a good time..."
"You, don't think I'm worthless in the future. In fact, what my buddy said today is exactly what I feel. How good he said it is. All life is about feelings. I am the only mother like you! You
You are the most important person to me! I just ask that you and my dad are in good health and live happily. You don’t get sick, don’t have disasters, and live a long life. If you can do that, my emotions will be complete..."
This is true, and it makes people even more emotional when listening to it.
Moody's eyes were red, and she slapped Yang Weifan.
"You kid, are you eating honey? You will fill your mother's eyes with nice things..."
The last conversation took place after Han Shan drove back.
In the small living room on the second floor, Han Shan, who drove back, reported to Yang Yaohua what he saw and heard on the way home from sending Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan home.
I heard that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not go home directly, but asked Han Shan to get out of the car and buy roast duck on the way. The old general was very strange.
"Why did these two boys go around to the front door to eat roast duck again? Could it be that they haven't had enough at our house? If others know, why don't they say that I, Yang Yaohua, am stingy?"
Han Shan explained.
"Hey, we actually didn't go to the front door. We went to the Peace Arch. Didn't this coincide with the completion of the 15,000-square-meter new building of the 'Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant' today? The boy named Hong passed by the Peace Arch and saw the bustle.
I stopped and went in to buy roast duck. They said it had historical significance and I wanted to take it back to my family to eat. I couldn't beat him, so I waited for a while. Unexpectedly, this guy was quite generous and bought four for 40 yuan.
He actually gave me half of the duck. He said he would give one to me and one to you..."
"Ah? Do you still have my share?" Yang Yaohua couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head. "I have never seen such a person. Fresh."
"Yes..." Han Shan also echoed. "This kid has a strange idea in his mind. He is a temperamental person with no ambition and no discipline. He is young and has the taste of seeing through the world of mortals. He is greedy for enjoyment. It can be said that he has a lot of personality.
His bad habits deserve the title of 'Beijing Youzi'. However, he is not stingy, knows etiquette, is quite optimistic, and has a sense of being strong without desire. It is really indescribable, and it feels very strange..."
"Humph, it's a good thing that the soldiers in our army are not like this. People like him cannot abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. His faults are so deep-rooted that even if he is put into the 'Red Ideological University Hall', he cannot change them.
If you don’t have desires, you will be strong? Then what’s the point of being enterprising..."
At this point, Yang Yaohua pondered for a moment.
"However, I am relatively relieved that he is friends with Xiao Liu'er. Because he is very self-aware and understands himself very well. If he is really like what he shows, he will not have any delusions. This way
People who do things are very measured. In addition, it is a good thing to have a little temperament, which also represents sincerity from another perspective. No matter who you are, it is rare to have a few true friends in your life..."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yang Yaohua suddenly stared at Han Shan's face and said something very abruptly.
"Xiao Han, let's talk about your work next. I plan to transfer you. Do you have any ideas that you can talk about?"
These words were too big of a leap. Han Shan was completely unprepared and his eyes widened.
"You, you want me to leave you? I did something wrong..."
Yang Yaohua's eyes remained calm as he explained for him.
"No. It's because I'm destined to be relegated to the second and third tiers. My name will also be placed in the first tier of old comrades. I know very well that after the handover is completed and power is completely delegated, I may only be called to participate once in a year and a half.
A face-saving activity. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of others, Yang Yaohua’s name has long been outdated! What future do you have if you continue to follow me?”
Han Shan became even more anxious and couldn't wait to express his loyalty.
"But, but... don't say that. You are not mean to me, and I have no intention of trying to reach a new height! I am willing to follow you!"
These words were unexpected by Yang Yaohua, but he was still very moved, and a soft light shone in his eyes. But his decision never changed.
"No, listen to me. Xiao Han, Xiao Liu'er's friend is right. When you are old, you will not care about anything but your feelings. You have been with me for ten years and you have always been conscientious and devoted to your duties.
, not only did I not make any big mistakes, but he also helped me solve a lot of problems in life, and I also get along well with my family members. It’s not easy! We are not grass and trees, and after being together for such a long time, in my heart,
In fact, you are already a member of our family. How can I not think about your future?"
"That's why you have to leave! Now it's no different than before. On the surface, my situation hasn't changed much, and I still have people to give me face when doing things. But this is just the beginning, and things will change slowly. How about I do it for you in time?
Arrangement, even if I want to arrange it for you in the future, it won’t be so easy.”
"I can give you two directions. One is relatively affordable, but there is no room for improvement. That is, I will transfer you to the local government and become a grass-roots king. Should you be the leader of a regiment or the leader of a military industrial enterprise?
, it’s up to you to choose. There is another direction, which is relatively miserable, but has a larger room for improvement. Then I will transfer you to the Naval Warship Academy for further studies. In one or two years, you will not have any real power, nor any special treatment.
The only thing you can do is study. This is as hard as going back to casting in a steel furnace! I remember you yourself said that your father failed to become a general when he was awarded the title, which he cited as a lifelong regret. What will happen to your family in the future?
Whether you can create a general depends on your own choice..."
These words made Han Shan feel a warm feeling in his heart. In his excitement, he performed a standard military salute completely instinctively, and his throat became choked.
"Chief, you have thought so well for me! I remember you said that professional knowledge and skills are the future of the Navy. So I am not afraid of hardship, and I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Although at this time, the trees in the yard were already covered with a layer of silver, and the branches frozen by the ice and snow were swaying in the cold wind.
Although, this day may be the coldest day in the new year in Beijing.
But both Yang Yaohua and Han Shan's faces were red.
At this moment, they felt excited, relieved, warm, and spiritually connected.
They all fully realized the true meaning of what Hong Yanwu said, "Career is also a form of expression of feelings"...
This day will be remembered by them forever.
This day is New Year’s Day in 1979!
