Shui Qing is Shui Qing, absolutely different from ordinary vulgar people.
Her extraordinary and clear mind allows her to easily see the essence of life.
So soon, she asked another question that most people would not think of or care about.
"Xiao Wu, what about you in the future? What else do you think about life? Do you just keep making money like this? I think people can't do it without money, but if there is too much money..."
"I want too much money and can't spend it. Then I will lie in bed with you and count the money all day long."
Hong Yanwu's playful smile immediately made Shui Qing spit.
However, she also knew Hong Yanwu's temper and knew that this was just teasing Mengzi.
Sure enough, the latter part was what was really in his heart.
"Don't worry, how could I be so worthless? In the past, I was really confused. I thought that a good life meant eating, drinking, having fun, spending lavishly, and making everyone envious of me. That was when I was the most vain and the most bastard.
.”
"But things were different when I came back from Chadian'er. Seeing the state of my home, I realized that for a person, family is the most important, and feelings are the most precious. But for a long time, I have been the black sheep of the family.
, I owe this family too much. From this moment on, all I want to do with money is to save my dad’s life and let my family live a good life.”
"Now, it's different. I've smoothed things over at home. It's easy for me to meet the needs of my family, and I'm able to take care of more people I care about. For example, I can do what I can.
Help your relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues, so that everyone around you can live a happier and smoother life."
At this time, Hong Yanwu smiled at Shuiqing and started to yell.
"Mencius said, 'If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are wealthy, you can help the world.' This is probably the goal I am pursuing. But Mencius's words are a bit exaggerated. Our abilities are limited and our personal qualities are not high. We really can't be as good as '
Comrades are so philanthropic and selfless in giving back to society. I only treat the people around me based on how close I am to you and how close I am to you."
"Also, although I don't expect anything in return, I will not be a 'land master' who responds to every request. As the saying goes, there is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. It must be someone with whom I have a good relationship and who is worthy of my efforts.
, I will help. So, do you think I am stingy?"
Unexpectedly, Shui Qing said without hesitation.
"No. From your words, I know that you are better than many people. You are a person who knows how to give back, which is a very noble virtue. And nothing is achieved overnight, and the same goes for being noble. If you can treat wealth correctly,
Then the richer you are, the better you will become. So in my opinion, your self-evaluation is too modest and not enough to describe how good you are."
Hong Yanwu was really touched by these words, and he couldn't help pouring out some more thoughts.
"Qing'er, you think too well of me. But now that I have money, at least I can guarantee that I won't get into bad habits. In addition, I really want to use my money to do something more meaningful.
"
"For example, because we hired someone to repair our old house, I met Mr. Shan, who retired from the Forbidden City. From then on, I learned that the beauty of ancient buildings and the current situation of civil engineering craftsmanship were about to be lost. So I contributed money to help the old man complete the project.
His wish led to the publication of the only monograph introducing the traditional craftsmanship of ancient architecture to date."
"Similarly, by organizing a wedding for my second brother, I realized what an amazing waiter our "Polar Bear" janitor Uncle Li is. His skills and knowledge are the valuable experience accumulated by countless generations.
This should be learned by all experienced caterers, but unfortunately no one knows the goods. So I also helped him publish a book, which will be printed soon."
"There are also my cousin, Tailor Su from the east courtyard, my eldest brother's master, and even Master Zhang from our small canteen. All of them are capable people with real talents and learning. Almost all their abilities are based on the wisdom of our ancestors.
The crystallization of knowledge. Unfortunately, due to the changes of the times, they appear to be out of date at the current stage, and they are not valued and recognized by society."
"To be honest, I really feel sorry for them. In my heart, they are worth more than the stamps and jewelry I spent money to buy. They are the real pearls covered in dust, living treasures that have been buried. So I'm afraid,
I'm afraid that if they don't wait until society rediscovers their value, their knowledge will be lost in the gaps of time. So I have to think of some ways to retain their skills as much as possible."
"To be specific, I'm afraid it's not enough to just publish books for them. I also plan to buy audio and video equipment. It would be better to leave some audio and video materials. But I have to tell you, this is probably a thankless task.
The profit may not be at all, and the money spent is not a small amount. If we really start to do this, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands to complete it, and it may even be more. In that case, can you understand me? You still have to do it?
Will you support me?"
What does it mean to be in love with each other and have the same heart and soul? This is all reflected at this time.
Even though she heard it would cost hundreds of thousands, Shui Qing still didn't hesitate.
"I understand. Xiao Wu, I especially understand. What you did is a serious matter, and I am very touched by what you said. You are really better than I thought. So I will support you unconditionally and always."
No wonder people say that behind a successful man, there must be a good woman.
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but be excited.
But thinking about some recent situations, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Finally I couldn't help but ask.
"Stop talking about me. What about you? Qing'er, what is your ideal? I mean, do you feel satisfied with your current work and life? Do you envy your classmates who graduated successfully? Have you thought about it?
What will it be like if you become a reporter? If you really have regrets, you might as well say it and I will help you try to think of a solution."
Hong Yanwu was actually a little worried when he said these words. He was afraid that hearing some kind of answer would aggravate his guilt.
But he didn't expect that just clearing the water would put him at ease.
"Are you regretful? It seems a little bit that I didn't become a reporter. But life is destined not to be repeated, just like water can't be recovered. Some things just happen when they happen. Even if you go back and do it again, it's not the same as that time.
That's it. In addition, although I didn't become a reporter, I joined the Polar Bear and got the compensation of life. The work and colleagues here are very good. The key is that you are very good to me. I am very happy here,
It would be better if the two of us could be together forever in the future. If this is considered a pity, then I don’t know what is ideal."
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu was so elated at this moment.
However, even if he knew how good Shui Qing was, he never expected how good Shui Qing would be.
On this day, they sat here for a long time, and later talked about many practical issues to be faced.
What particularly surprised Hong Yanwu was that Shui Qing had no objection at all to his plan to transfer the house in his unit to Lan Zhaodi to make things happen for her and Zhang Baocheng.
He didn't even let him say that he would find a better house, and just nodded and agreed.
On the contrary, the only thing Shui Qing asked him to agree to was to keep the wedding simple and allow him to continue to hide his true wealth.
In addition, after marriage, she will only need half of Hong Yanwu's salary to spend on family matters.
The rest of his money is at his own disposal. If it is not necessary, it is best not to spend it on his family.
If the Shui family makes any financial demands, she must agree to it.
And her reason is that if people get used to enjoying the things that come to them, they will only end up raising beggars.
Her parents are in good health and her sisters are still young.
She does not want her relatives to become parasites in any sense, or to lose the ability to live independently.
Of course Hong Yanwu refused. Even if the truth was right, he felt that it was too sorry for Shui Qing and felt uneasy.
But after trying hard, he couldn't get Shui Qing to relent in the end. The only progress he made was that Shui Qing agreed to accept his entire month's salary.
Wanting to continue the fight, Shui Qing said that if they were not a couple, she would not even agree to this.
She also said that everyone's life is like this, and she only wants this ordinary life. What Hong Yanwu needs to do is just like an ordinary uncle in other people's families. Any more efforts will be superfluous. The test now is
Is he willing to live such a life with me?
What else can Hong Yanwu say?
He felt that having a woman like Shui Qing accompany him throughout his life was truly the greatest blessing he had ever encountered in his life.
For her, he also wanted to become a better person.
