Rebel Demon King

Chapter 631 The graduation of youth is a reconciliation

(At the end of the month, I have the cheek to ask for a monthly ticket)

At noon, my uncle didn't come back from shopping, but drove to the school to pick up Cheng Haoyang, and called my aunt to tell my aunt not to cook, but to take Cheng Mo to the Xiangjae Restaurant in the International Finance Center for dinner, which made Cheng Mo very happy. accident.

Uncle and aunt are people who are very economical in every aspect except for being generous to Cheng Haoyang. They will never set foot in a place like the International Financial Center, which is so tall that it looks expensive.

Although according to my aunt, the vegetables made outside are heavy in salt and oil, and it is unhealthy to eat. The money spent is enough for her to cook a lot of dishes. There is really no need to come to this kind of place to eat out of face.But my uncle said on the phone how could I stay at home with Cheng Mo, my aunt happily changed into a decent set of clothes and dressed up, and when my uncle received Cheng Haoyang downstairs, she asked Cheng Mo to come out. the door.

Uncle bought a second-hand BYD M6. The wine red body was polished and the interior was clean. The seat was covered with a light blue seat cover. The irregular but dense wiring was my aunt's. craftsmanship.

Cheng Haoyang, who was wearing a school uniform, was sitting on the co-pilot, and seemed to be a little taller than when Cheng Mo left, but his expression was still the cool one he pretended to be, and he didn't speak when he saw Cheng Mo.

Cheng Jidong glared at Cheng Haoyang, and scolded, "Why aren't you called Brother Mo?"

Only now did Cheng Haoyang open his mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Mo."

Cheng Mo nodded, and said "hmm".

Uncle turned to look at Cheng Mo and asked, "How does your body feel? Is everything all right?"

"No problem, now I can run and jump, it's much better than before, it's as if I'm not sick!" Cheng Mo said.

The uncle seemed to be relieved, turned around and started the car, nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, and your mother still has a little conscience!"

Cheng Mo didn't speak, but fortunately, his aunt interjected and asked, "Cheng Mo! Don't blame your aunt for being talkative! Why do you go back to China to take the college entrance examination? Isn't it good to study in the United States? So many people have sharpened their heads to study in the United States, It’s not that your English is bad, why don’t you simply.”

The uncle interrupted the aunt angrily and said: "What are you talking about? Cheng Mo can study wherever he wants, and I want you to talk!"

But my aunt said confidently: "I am also concerned about Cheng Mo. If I can stay in the United States, of course I will stay in the United States! Now that the domestic economy is in such a downturn, it is impossible for Cheng Mo to find a good job after graduation. It's not that you're not smart, why don't you go to a university in the United States?"

Cheng Mo opened his mouth, and immediately thought of a suitable reason, "My visa is a B2 visa, not a student visa, and I cannot study in the United States."

The aunt said enthusiastically again: "I checked on the Internet. If your mother is of American nationality, you can change to American nationality! I think you have to fight for this matter. If you are embarrassed to say it, ask your uncle to talk to your mother. Let’s talk, she has to be responsible for studying anyway!”

Cheng Mo didn't expect his aunt to be so enthusiastic about this matter, he didn't know how to answer for a while, the car suddenly became quiet for a while, Cheng Haoyang was looking at Cheng Mo's expression through the mirror, his uncle seemed to be driving seriously, passing Seeing that Cheng was silent for a while, he said: "I don't mean to make your mother responsible. If you can really change to American nationality and study some kind of Ivy League, it will be easier to go back to China in the future! There is no gold plating these days. A domestic 985 graduate may not be easy to mess with. Have you seen news that graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University sell pork in the vegetable market? But I have never heard of graduates from Cambridge and Oxford selling pork in the vegetable market! "

Cheng Haoyang rolled his eyes at Cheng Jidong and said, "Dad! It's an ivy, not an ivy. Also, Cambridge and Oxford are from the United Kingdom, not from the United States. If you want to say that Harvard and Yale are about the same."

Cheng Jidong laughed, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's fine if you want it. Cheng Mo! I think your aunt is far-sighted in this regard. In terms of tuition fees, the money your father left you is enough! There is no need for your mother to pay tuition fees. If you have the opportunity and conditions, you still have to go to a famous university in the United States. Whether you come back in the future or not, the brand of American universities is better than that of domestic universities. Your uncle and I just didn’t study much back then. Loss! If you were as good at studying as your father back then, you wouldn’t be able to achieve nothing at this age and run away from Didi.”

Cheng Mo knew that Ivy and Ivy meant the same thing, but he didn't mean to correct it. He just thought that his uncle would persuade him to study in the United States, so he couldn't say anything. On the way, uncle and aunt began to ask Cheng Mo's mother's situation side-by-side, and Cheng Mo answered according to what he had thought up a long time ago.

Lord Xiang is on the fifth floor of the International Finance Center. It is a restaurant with a good taste and an ordinary environment. Cheng Mo heard that this is the second time for the uncle's family to come. The last time I came was when my cousin Cheng Xiuyan came to Star City.

Before the food was served, Cheng Jidong went downstairs to the IFC and bought two small bottles of Erguotou in a convenience store. When he came up, he complained that the things in the city center were expensive. 15 yuan, and you can earn [-] yuan. The convenience store in the city center is twice as expensive.

During the meal, my uncle began to ask Cheng Mo if he could keep up with his studies, and if he wanted to repeat his studies for another year.Cheng Mo said no, and his uncle began to worry that the school would not allow Cheng Mo to go back to school. Cheng Mo said that everything was fine, so the uncle felt relieved, and said that he would bring two good cigarettes and two bottles of good wine to meet the principal tomorrow.

Cheng Mo said again that there was no problem with returning to school, and he had already told the principal, so his uncle stopped talking.

After drinking, my uncle began to babble about the past again, talking about the things that happened with his father and him in the country. Cheng Mo had heard these words many times over the years, so he basically didn't listen to his uncle at first, until he sighed He let out a sigh and said, "Your child, your personality is exactly like your father's. You don't like to discuss anything with your family. You don't say anything good or bad. You always let others know when you think about it after you do it." I am also very ashamed. Your father is busy with divorce and your illness, but I still ask him to help find a job. He told me to study hard to take the civil service exam. I thought he didn't want to care about it. He gave me a sum of money and asked me to go to the city to be a vegetable vendor and collect things from the countryside to sell. But I felt that selling vegetables was not as decent as opening a canteen, so I said I couldn’t be a vegetable vendor and asked him to find a way to make more money. I went to the city to open Zhang Dongliang, who listened to his advice to take the civil servant exam in a canteen, is already a department-level cadre, and Hu Youcai, who sells chickens in the city, has really made a fortune, and I still look poor."

After a pause, the uncle said again with resentment: "Why do you think your father is so stubborn? You don't explain anything? Some things will be fine if you explain them clearly. He never explains. I'm not a genius like him. Really. Not so smart to understand his thoughts! What's more, he didn't even say that he was divorced and his son had heart disease, so he borrowed 2 yuan to open a canteen for me. It's very easy to explain to my brother. Is it difficult?"

While talking, Cheng Mo saw that his uncle's eyes were red, and Cheng Haoyang's chopsticks were raised in the air, trying to pick up vegetables, but in the end they didn't come down, and just took two mouthfuls of rice from the bowl.

The aunt pushed the uncle and said, "Today is a happy day, what do you say?"

"Fortunately, you have recovered from your heart disease. I think he will be very comforted by the spirit in heaven!" Cheng Jidong turned his head and wiped his wet eyes, and said, "Cheng Mo, maybe you think that uncle is not good enough, and you still think that uncle is not good enough." Uncles and aunts care about the money your father left you, but they really don’t. If your uncle really cares about your money, is he still a person? Uncles and aunts really want to help you save money so that you can have surgery. Of course they want It’s true that Yang Yang can transfer to a better school. I suffered from not studying much, and I don’t want Yang Yang to be like me. It’s a pity that my uncle really doesn’t know how to manage money, and he’s stupid. , I really want to use some money-making method to catch me blind again. You are too smart, so smart that I don’t know how to explain it. I always feel that the more I explain, the more guilty I am. After all, I still took advantage of you to some extent.”

Cheng Mo did not expect that his uncle would suddenly say something provocative, let alone that his tone was full of sincere apology. Cheng Mo felt that he might have read too much philosophy and history, so he thought too much about others. horrible.

If I read more fairy tales and comics like Yan Yitong, I will feel that the world is so beautiful and everyone is so kind. Even the villains are cute and charming villains like Musashi and Kojiro.

Cheng Mo didn't know what to say in this situation, he just kept silent and listened to his uncle babbling nonsense, and when the two bottles of wine were finished, his uncle jokingly asked Cheng Mo that the Rolls-Royce was rich. Does the other girl still have contact with him?

Speaking of Xie Minyun, Cheng Haoyang pricked up his ears.

Cheng Mo replied honestly: "There has been no contact."

The uncle sighed and said, "It's fine if you don't contact me. I think the other party's conditions are too good to be suitable."

"Chengmo's [-]th capital is not yet full, what are you talking about?" Auntie scolded.

The uncle, who was drunk, spoke to his aunt more rigidly than usual, and said with a snort, "In our country, there are many marriages."

"What year is that old calendar? It's too late to get married in the countryside, okay? If you don't build a small villa, buy a car, and prepare hundreds of thousands of gifts, you won't be able to find a wife in the countryside. You still don't make good money. You have to drink and smoke a few packs of cigarettes every day! This month is a few hundred, what will Yang Yang use to marry a wife in the future!"

Cheng Jidong laughed and said, "Don't you have words?"

The aunt stretched out her hand and tapped the uncle's forehead, and said angrily: "Look at your talent!"

Cheng Haoyang frowned and said: "Dad, how many times have you told Mom? I don't need you to take care of my future affairs, I will take care of it myself! And Dad, you should smoke less. It's not good for your health. Let Mom smoke second-hand cigarettes." Smoke is not good either!"

Cheng Jidong patted the table, "Yo! You've taught me a lesson! First you can get me into a good school in the college entrance examination, so I can save face by letting me go out. I promise to quit smoking and drinking!"

As soon as we talked about Cheng Haoyang's studies, the topic began to change naturally, which allowed Cheng Mo to finally take a breath, but at the end, the uncle said again: "Oh! By the way, Cheng Mo, when you went to see a doctor in the United States, There is often a girl who comes to the house and asks if you are back."

Cheng Mo said "Oh", he knew who it was without asking.

Cheng Jidong was afraid that Cheng Mo would not know, so he continued: "A thin girl with disheveled hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. What's her name?"

Cheng Haoyang said: "It's Sister Tongtong and Brother Zhuo, they always ask me at school."

Cheng Mo nodded, put down his chopsticks, and said softly, "Got it."

After eating, Cheng Mo paid the bill silently. Uncle was very unhappy and said, "How can I let you pay the bill? No, I have to ask my aunt to give you the money!"

Cheng Mo said: "No need, my mother gave me a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about living expenses, tuition fees, etc. As for the hundreds of thousands on the card, my uncle and aunt can use it to expand the fruit shop and hire someone to specialize for free. Delivery."

Cheng Jidong shook his head quickly, "How can I ask for your money? Originally, the purpose of opening a fruit shop is to help you earn medical expenses! Now uncle solemnly announces that the investment has returned to its capital, and now your illness has been cured. We If you transfer the fruit shop, your money can be returned to you, and you will earn a net transfer fee! We will not live in Xingcheng for long, and when Yangyang graduates next year, we will return to Wuling for retirement. Xingcheng is not familiar with the place. Usually I can’t find a single person for bragging and playing cards. To be honest, it’s not for you and Yangyang. I really don’t like staying here. Yes, I really like living in a small city, so our Wuling is better, although Wuling is not big, it is clean, convenient and livable.”

Seeing that his uncle was serious, Cheng Mo thought for a while and said, "Then uncle, you should think about it carefully! If it's about making money, Star City is better."

Cheng Jidong waved his hand, "Your aunt and I get up early and stay late every day. Selling fruits is purely to earn some hard money. It is a little more than opening a small store in Wuling, but opening a small store in Wuling is leisurely! You said hiring someone Specially for free door-to-door delivery, we also opened Ele.me and Meituan in our store, and I was also in charge of cutting and packing the boxes. I was exhausted, and the usual sales were just so-so! The platform also took a commission, so it’s nothing to do.”

The aunt pushed Cheng Jidong, who was eloquent, and interrupted him: "Listen to what Cheng Mo said, others said that they invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in you to expand your business, it must not be as simple as asking you to hire someone."

Cheng Jidong scratched his head, looked at Cheng Mo with a disapproving smile and said, "Okay, Cheng Mo, tell me."

Cheng Mo said: "Auntie is not very good at making our Wuling special snacks such as Jiangban edamame, Jiangban lotus root, and Jiangban beef? When it is delivered to your door for free, you can clip a leaflet and open your own WeChat group, fruit and sauce. As long as the quality is guaranteed and you do it with care, you won’t be able to make a lot of money, but you can be well-off.”

Hearing Cheng Mo's words, a light flashed in my aunt's eyes, "I think this idea is good!"

Cheng Haoyang also nodded and said, "I said a long time ago that we could set up a shop selling sauce plate snacks in Changsha! My father always felt that the investment was too big and risky."

Cheng Jidong smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, I really thought about it, but the risk is a little bit higher. If I don't do it well, I'm afraid of losing money."

Cheng Mo said lightly: "It doesn't matter now, I can afford it."

Cheng Jidong laughed "haha", "Then I will discuss it with your aunt!"

Cheng Mo nodded, because the IFC Center was not far from Dingwangtai, the uncle who had been drinking didn't drive, the four of them walked home, and the aunt made the bed with Cheng Mo, Cheng Haoyang asked Cheng Mo if he would go to school in the afternoon , Cheng Mo shook his head, saying that there is no rush for a long time.

Before returning to school, Cheng Haoyang hesitated for a while and asked again: "Brother Mo, do you want to tell Brother Zhuo and Sister Tongtong about your return, they still care about you."

Cheng Mo twitched his lips, "Anyway, I will go to school tomorrow, let's give them a surprise tomorrow!"

Cheng Haoyang answered "OK" and left the room.

Cheng Mo went to the living room, the old-fashioned record player left by his father was still in the original corner, and the order of placing records on the record rack was the same as when he left. It seemed that it hadn’t been used for a long time, but my aunt was a diligent The person who cleaned it spotlessly, the brass-colored horn floated with a faint luster in the sun.

Cheng Mo walked to the front of the record player and randomly pulled out a record, Rachmaninoff's "Piano Concerto No. [-] in C Minor". Cheng Mo took the record out of the protective case, put it into the record player, and the turntable started Slowly rotating, the faint piano solo sounded, until the moment when the violin cut in, there was a majestic feeling of thousands of rivers flowing into the sea, and there was an indescribable magnificence.

The theme of this piece is "Duration" and "Contemplation". Cheng Mo closed his eyes and remembered a sentence that Takeshi Kitano said.

The most important ending in life is: one day we will learn to reconcile with our ordinary and imperfect parents.

One day, we must learn to reconcile with ourselves and the world.

Whether it looks beautiful to you, or ugly.
