my 27 year old female president

After four o'clock in the afternoon, I returned to my hometown, Q City. I didn't tell Lao Zhou that I had returned home, so when I arrived at the high-speed rail station, I took a car home by myself.

On the way, I got off at the vegetable market. There is a vegetable market near my home. I thought about buying some good vegetables and going home. I can’t go home empty-handed.

I bought a large piece of steak, two catties of oysters, some ribs, green vegetables, and a bag of fruit, which my parents like to eat.

The distance from the vegetable market to the home is only a few hundred meters. On the way home, there is a small vegetable field, and there are a few ducklings "quacking" leisurely in the small pond next to it. If it was in the past, I would definitely I find the sound of this thing annoying, but now I enjoy the country atmosphere of these things. In a big city, it's just car exhaust and horns.

I saw a middle-aged woman walking out of the door of the house with a small hoe in her hand. Who else could she be if she wasn't my mother.The sun at dusk fell on my mother's face, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Hey, Dong Li, you, why are you back now?" My mother was surprised and confused when she saw me coming back, "Hey, where is Xiao Shen? Why didn't she come back with you?"

I walked to the side of my mother, put away the small hoe in her hand, squeezed out a smile and said: "Mom, don't worry about it, I've already bought vegetables, let's go into the house and talk about it."

After entering the house, my mother poured me a glass of water, "Your father just left the unit for a while, but he has nothing to do, so he should be back soon."

My mother took the vegetables into the kitchen, and still kept muttering: "Hey, you kid, come back when you come back, why did you buy so many vegetables, can the three of us finish it? Isn't it a waste of money."

"Mom~ This dish is just for eating. How can it be called a 'waste of money'? Eat slowly if you can't finish it." After all, I'm afraid that my mother will continue to ask about Shen Yue and me later. Things, so I went up to the room on the second floor in a hurry.

When I was making the bed in the room, Lao Zhou came back, and I hurried down. I wanted to cook together, but Lao Zhou and my mother refused to let me into the kitchen, saying that they wanted me to clean up my room. , we can have dinner later.

Compared with my mother, Lao Zhou was not surprised to see me back, and he was as unsmiling as ever.

……

Dinner started, and during the meal, I knew I couldn't avoid it, my mother had already asked me about Shen Yue two or three times, so I simply put down my chopsticks and poured out the cups for Lao Zhou and myself liquor.

I took a deep breath and said frankly: "Well, Lao Zhou, Mom, I have something to tell you, don't worry about it later, it's just... I have already broken up with Shen Yue, and she will also leave No, I didn't stay in City A."

Sure enough, it was my mother who got excited first, "What?! Dong Li, what's going on? Didn't you bring Xiao Shen back last time? Why did you break up so suddenly?"

I smiled wryly and said, "Mom, there's nothing good about it. A lot of things just look good on the surface. In fact, only I know the real situation best. We really broke up. There is no turning back." Kind of, she also went to the imperial capital to develop because of a job transfer, so... don't mention her again in the future."

My mother sighed and continued after being silent: "Two days ago, your neighbor's third trial was still asking me about when you planned to get married. Just told me about the breakup between the two of you, alas...it's a pity."

At this time, Lao Zhou, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"I don't think it's a pity. In fact, Dong Li and Xiao Shen's personalities are not so suitable. Although we parents haven't seen her many times, we can see some things. I didn't tell you before, That's because seeing that you two have identified each other, the happiness of your children is the most important thing, if you two get married together, we two elders will definitely support it."

Lao Zhou's words made me very surprised, and then Lao Zhou put down his chopsticks and took a sip from his wine glass under my surprised expression, and continued: "I guess you just broke up with Xiao Shen too. Soon, otherwise, why would I come back at this time, I won’t say anything superfluous, since it’s irreversible, then put your mind on the place you just put it on.”

When my mother saw what Lao Zhou said, she just wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by Lao Zhou, so my mother had to pack up the dishes and go into the kitchen. Now there are only us father and son in the dining room.

We father and son drank two more glasses of wine, and I took out a cigarette from the cigarette case first and handed it to Lao Zhou. He gave me a glare and took the cigarette, muttering, "Stinky boy, smoke less." .

In the dining room, the smoke dispersed, and the feeling of alcohol came up, and that emotion came up again.I watched the smoke fluttering, and couldn't help but speak.

"Dad, we have read books for so many years, walked so many paths, and understood so many principles, but why do so many people still have trouble living their lives? Can you tell me why?"

The old man had a cigarette in his mouth, frowned, took a puff of the cigarette, and replied calmly: "Reading teaches you not only knowledge, but the most important thing is to let you learn how to study and think. You have read books for so many years. , Haven’t you heard of a phrase called “Learning without Limits”? It’s the same in life. The road you walk is learning, growing and experiencing. It is also a practice. The difference is: there is “graduation” in reading But there is no such thing as life, if you think that knowing a lot of truths is to help you live a better life, that is a wrong way of thinking.”

I seem to understand what my father said, but I don't seem to understand it.

I didn't want to make the topic so heavy, so I smiled and said: "Old Zhou, since everything has been said now, let me discuss something with you by the way, that is... I also quit my job, working in city a I have been wandering for more than three years, and it is still like this, or I will come back to Q City to develop, does your unit have any suitable positions for me, and see if you can squeeze me in."

Lao Zhou's expression remained unchanged, and he said in the same indifferent tone: "If you are not willing to come back to a small city to develop, then don't say such things. If you really want to come back to develop, then find a job yourself. Rely on yourself, don't always think about relying on others."

I opened my mouth and was about to continue talking, but Lao Zhou had already stood up, turned his back to me and said, "Go help your mother wash the dishes if you have time, there is a meeting in the village at night, I have to go out."

Lao Zhou not only works in the unit, but also serves as a village committee member in the village. In terms of relationship, there is actually a little bit of relationship, but Lao Zhou's character is impossible to help me do these things. Of course, I didn't take it seriously.
