Chapter 1552 The fork in the road of life (4100 words) Happy New Year to my friends in the south
Li Xiang was in a difficult mood this evening.
People who have crossed the 30-year-old threshold still have their parents to worry about.
Before, he really didn't take marriage seriously and never met the right person. Now that he calmed down, Li Hope suddenly started to consider this issue.
In fact, Li Xixi also knows that his father has paved the way for him in his career. Otherwise, even if he graduates with a doctorate, he can be sure that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will give him a smooth development path.
platform?
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. may have been short of talent before, but after so many years of development, it really has no shortage of talent now.
Li hopes that he is not so ignorant and naive.
"I really should think about it carefully." Li Xiang was lying on the bed, and this idea came to his mind before going to bed.
In another bedroom of the villa, neither Li Mumu nor his wife Huang was sleeping.
The warm orange bedside lamp was still on, and the two leaned back on the bed to discuss things.
"Lao Li, I happen to have nothing to do. If I can't do it tomorrow, I will go to a marriage agency." Huang Shuangshuang said this.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mumu scolded her: "Those places are not reliable at all. If you suffer a loss and are deceived, don't complain to me. If you ask me, you should give up the idea."
"Then what should we do? Your son is focused on his career and has no intention of finding a partner." Huang Shuangshuang became anxious.
She suddenly said: "This is all your fault!"
Li Mumu turned his head sharply and looked at his wife: "Tell me why you blame me. What did I do that wasn't for his own good?"
"What a heck, I graduated with a Ph.D., my family has plenty of cars and houses, and an annual salary of hundreds of thousands a year, but I can't even find a girlfriend. Are you doing this for his own good?" Huang Shuangshuang said.
"If you ask me, my son just lost his mind at work."
Li Mumu was too lazy to argue with his wife about this: "You bitch are just arrogant."
"Oh, you still dislike me, right? Please tell me clearly." Huang Shuangshuang's hand pliers have already pinched it.
The old couple had a fuss for a while, and Huang Shuangshuang said: "How about I tell our relatives and ask them to look for them, and if there is anyone suitable, we can arrange a meeting, just in case I hope to meet the right person."
Woolen cloth."
"You really think that no one wants our son, right?" Li Mumu didn't even bother to look at his wife. This woman was too anxious. She even thought about going to a dating agency instead of reading the news. Nowadays, dating agencies are just ordinary
Any news you get is deceived.
He said: "Our son should know it well. You said he is young and promising, and he is not too old. There should be some negative opinions, right?"
"That's for sure, my son is so good." Huang Shuangshuang's face was full of pride when he mentioned this issue.
But when she thought that her son had never brought a girl home, she was defeated.
"So it's up to him." Li Mumu sighed and said, "Didn't my son want to move to Jincheng Garden? You can find a housekeeper to clean the house when you have time. If he wants to go, let him go.
He is a 30-year-old man and he doesn’t want to live with our old couple. It’s right for him to want some space of his own.”
But when it came to this matter, Huang said he was really anxious: "How can that be done? My son has just come back, and I still want to talk to him more!"
"What are you talking about? Give him some freedom. If he brings a girlfriend home, you and I will be at home. With his virtue, he has the nerve to bring her back?" Li Mumu lay down on his side.
Huang Shuangshuang calmed down for a while and then said: "Old Li, what you said makes sense!"
"You only have long hair and short knowledge. Just look at it now..."
"Oh, I think you're just annoying me, right? Let's see if I can't kill you." Huang Shuangshuang rushed over.
…
In the courtyard next to Shichahai in the capital city.
From the outside, the walls are dusty, and it gives people a sense of history. However, this place is so private that you can't tell what's inside from the outside.
The inside and outside of the courtyard are two different worlds.
After dinner, I didn’t feel sleepy at all.
The two old brothers Xia Weiguo and Xia Weicheng were sitting under the tree in the yard, drinking tea and chatting, recalling things from their childhood.
I said that I was a bit poor at that time, but it was good to have a big family gather together.
When people get old, they like to talk about the past, euphemistically saying that they should not forget those things. In fact, they are most afraid that their descendants will forget their existence.
Afraid of being alone.
Brothers Chenchen and Jinglin listened with great interest.
Jing Ling, a naughty and mischievous man, ran away to nowhere. After a while, a drone flew over, and the buzzing sound annoyed everyone.
"Jing Ling, are you looking for a beating?" Tongtong roared, and the drone flew away immediately.
Several little girls gathered together and listened to the elder sisters talking about things in school.
Tongtong would occasionally talk about their participation in the "Five Good Youth Volunteer Service Team", which shocked these little sisters.
One by one, they said that Sister Tongtong was not only good at practicing Kung Fu and studying well, but she also did good deeds and was a role model for them.
"Sister!" Xia Rongting shouted while lying on the girl's lap.
The girl didn't know why, so she lowered her head and asked: "Tingting, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." The little girl said.
Xia Yuxi looked at her and suddenly said: "Tingting, if you go to a municipal primary school, I might be able to teach you."
When Xia Rongting heard this, she quickly said: "I'm not going."
"Why?"
Xia Rongting groaned and said: "I am controlled by my parents at home, and my sister at school. It's so boring!"
Xia Yuxi also didn't expect that this kid was not big but had a lot of ideas.
While they were talking, Jiang Ningning and the others brought over several plates of fruit, and the children started eating them.
The moon in the sky was slowly obscured by clouds, and the sky looked darker.
Some children started to feel sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to sleep one after another.
Xia Zekai originally hoped that the eldest brother and the others would stay for two more days, but after dinner on the second morning, the eldest brother took the initiative to return to Qicheng in the afternoon.
The eldest brother also said that things are better now. It is not like the past two years when it was difficult to get around. In the future, we can get together more often.
"That's right, brother, don't think about anything. You should take the time to go back to Qicheng to see more. The past few years have been quite good." The second brother Xia Yunhui also said.
After running around for half a life, they finally established a foothold in Qicheng and gained a certain degree of strength. They worked hard to live their lives as a wealthy generation, taking the elderly and children with them. Slowly, they regarded it as their second hometown.
.
Zhou Yinghong and Luo Xiyun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to prepare things, and asked the eldest brother, second brother and brothers to take them back.
During lunch, my words were full of reluctance, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull for a while.
After lunch, Xia Zekai arranged a car to take the uncle and eldest brother to the high-speed rail station.
Only then did Xia Zekai realize that his father, Xia Weicheng, and his uncle, Xia Weiguo, were holding hands, their eyes full of reluctance.
The uncle Xia Weiguo also said: "Brother, I am getting older. I am almost 80. I can't run back and forth for a few years anymore. You are still young. Come back and see me more often when you have time."
"The eldest sister in the family, the second sister and the others are getting older. They have to go back and take a look when they should."
Next to them, Xia Zekai, Xia Yunfei and their brothers felt a little sad when they heard what the two old men said.
I even think it is a sin to allow these old people to be scattered across the country in their later years.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun followed the car to the high-speed rail station. They didn't follow them in until they saw them entering the platform from the VIP waiting room.
When she turned around, Luo Xiyun saw that her husband's eyes were also a little red.
"Zekai, are you okay?" Luo Xiyun asked him nervously.
When Xia Zekai looked at his wife, the smile returned to his face: "It's okay, I'm just a little reluctant to leave."
"Let's go home. Aren't you going back to your hometown next month?" Luo Xiyun said, holding his hand.
"Well, while the old people are here, go back and take a look. If you go back later, maybe you won't even see anyone anymore." Xia Zekai said.
Inexplicably, Xia Zekai suddenly missed the small village on the edge of the Yellow River, and didn't know what it was like now.
How many of those friends in the village can still be seen now?
When he returned home, as soon as Xia Zekai entered the door, he saw his father standing in the yard, looking out the door.
Seeing his son come in, Xia Weicheng asked him: "Zekai, have your uncle and the others got in the car?"
"Dad, we're all in the car and leaving. I've made all the arrangements, so don't worry." Xia Zekai said to him.
The girl next to her and Tongtong shouted: "Dad, we have agreed with sister Amy to take the Beijing University entrance examination together."
"Okay, keep what you say!" Xia Zekai looked at Yatou and Tongtong. They were already taller than his shoulders, especially Tongtong, who was almost as tall as him!
He said: "How about I go to the school for a walk? It will be safer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtong stopped and came over to put his arms around Xia Zekai's shoulders, wanting to throw him over his shoulders.
"Tongtong, stop, stop, stop!"
Xia Zekai surrendered in time and gave up.
"Dad, you are annoying, you are so annoying." Tongtong said with a pout.
But Xia Zekai said: "I'm not worried about you two, I'm worried about your sister Amy. Our college entrance examination scores are too high."
This thing belongs to the national level, and Xia Zekai can't change it. He can only use his own method to change the people around him.
But the girl said: "Sister Amy said she can't be too different."
"Yeah, then you all come on!" Xia Zekai reminded the sisters: "You have 74 days left to take the college entrance examination!"
"Dad, I know, we have a countdown posted in the classroom." Tongtong said.
On the high-speed train from Beijing to Jicheng, Xia Weiguo and his group were sitting in the business class at the front, looking at the scenery outside the car window. Xia Weiguo said: "This place is really nice."
The boss, Xia Yunfei, was sitting with him and turned around and said, "Dad, why don't you stay for two more days?"
"What difference does it make if we stay for two more days? You still have so much work to do. Amy and the others have to go to school tomorrow. The college entrance examination is about to take place. We can't delay our studies." Xia Weiguo said this.
Although he didn't talk about many things, his mind was clear.
Amy, who was sitting behind, heard her grandfather say this and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely have no problem studying."
"Well, which school do you want to attend?" Xia Weiguo asked her with interest.
Then I heard my granddaughter say: "Grandpa, sister Jingya and sister Ji Tong and I have agreed that we will take the Beijing University exam together."
"Yeah, then you must study hard." Xia Weiguo said cheerfully.
"Grandpa, don't worry, it's not a big problem." Amy said this.
Then I heard his grandfather say: "As long as you think about it, it's really not a big problem."
"It will be convenient to stay in the hotel then. With Jingya and Ji Tong as company, your parents can rest assured." He babbled.
Xia Yunhui on the left heard his old father say this, and he thought to himself: "If Amy can really pass the exam, I will be relieved."
I have heard his cousin Xia Zekai talk about this in the past two days. Beijing University is 10 kilometers away from his home, and it only takes 20 minutes to drive...
On the way back, everyone had something on their mind.
…
The new week arrived. After Yatou and Tongtong entered the classroom, they saw that the students in the class were studying hard.
By this time, no matter Tongtong, everyone else also had a sense of urgency.
After all, my family has been nagging about getting into college, doing well in college, and even studying abroad. These things have almost become a curse for them during this period.
It doesn't work even if you don't work hard.
In some families whose academic performance is really not good, the elders say that even if they get into a better professional school, they will be fine.
Those with good family conditions began to promise various benefits in advance.
There is only one purpose, let them go all out.
"Sister Tongtong, I don't understand a question, please help me." Huang Ziyan took the initiative to come over and ask.
Tongtong saw that it was a math problem. She looked at it carefully for a while, checked it on the draft paper, and found the result. Then she explained it to Huang Ziyan.
The girl next to me saw that they had finished speaking and said, "There is another solution to this problem. Let me tell you about it."
After she finished speaking, she explained it again in another way. Huang Ziyan saw that the final result was the same, but the process was different. She was very impressed: "Sister Jingya, Sister Tongtong, you are all so amazing."
"Just like that, Huang Ziyan, you should hurry up and study." Tongtong reminded her.
"Okay, Sister Tongtong, please get busy." Huang Ziyan ran back to her seat.
Jiang Runhua came in with the textbooks in his arms. He was very pleased to see that the students in the class were reading the books and doing the questions carefully.
"Good morning, classmates." Jiang Runhua stood on the podium and greeted the students.
The students in the audience also shouted: "Good morning, Teacher Jiang."
"Okay, everyone, please turn to page 27 of the textbook. I will tell you something again..." The class started again.
There is an air of tension everywhere on the high school campus.
But there are also those who are naughty and mischievous. At this juncture, they have completely given up on themselves and are playing to their heart's content every day.
For this type of students, the school teachers have not actually given up on them, and are still trying to get these students to change their minds through persuasion and guidance, including communication with their parents.
But the result is obvious, and no persuasion succeeded despite my efforts.
In the end, I just had to let it go.
To paraphrase a sentence, the fork in the road of life begins to branch here.
