My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 99: Unwilling to be mediocre
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
The shantytowns are all low wooden houses. They are messy everywhere, but they are full of life. Children run around naked, and women carefully wash thick clothes in muddy alleys. Usually the men in the family only have one or two pieces. Every time clothes are washed and torn and patched after going out to work, the life of the clothes will be shortened even more.
The wooden house where Gao Xiaoli and his brother Gao Dali lived had two other workers. One was a bachelor like Gao Dali, and the other was a couple living here. There were only thin curtains between the beds.
The wooden house was very clean today. On the low table with a missing leg was a pot of steaming cabbage stewed meat slices and boiled longevity noodles.
Several close workers were also called, and it was very lively and full of laughter.
Gao Dali was especially happy. He was very kind to his brother's two college classmates, and he was like a real distinguished guest at home.
Lu Ming originally wanted to prepare a gift, but in the end, he and Sun Jingjun jointly bought a birthday card. Thinking about it now, it was indeed a wise move. On a happy day, eating cabbage stew makes it even happier. I am very much looking forward to it, but instead of preparing expensive gifts, you just want to prepare a birthday cake. Not only will you overwhelm the guests, but it will also change the taste of the simple happiness of the family.
There were also a bunch of children laughing nearby. In addition, there was a handsome girl named Gao Xiaoli, "Brother Xiaoli", who seemed particularly attracted to Gao Xiaoli.
Both come from the same village. The girl went out to work with her parents. She is one or two years younger than Gao Xiaoli. She looks about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a red flowered jacket and blue trousers, with long braids. She looks like a typical simple girl in the countryside. In fact, Except for her darker skin and calluses on her hands, she is still very delicate and has the unique slenderness of a country girl.
You can tell at a glance that "Brother Xiao Li" who has been admitted to college is her admirer and secret crush, but an uneducated country girl naturally feels ashamed of herself.
Today's college students are just like the number one scholar to country people.
At the table, Gao Xiaoli insisted on drinking a glass of wine. His brother Dali indulged him and didn't care. Moreover, for this college student brother, it was obvious that he had no confidence in being an older brother. Whatever his brother said would be whatever he said.
Gao Xiaoli was very happy and toasted to his brothers and uncles. He also toasted to Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun, thanking his two good friends for coming.
He also talked about his participation in the school's performing arts club, saying that his original ideal was to be a big star, but unfortunately his family did not have the conditions, so he could only listen to his brother and take a major that could make money, but you don't understand, brother. This is a **** major. All you learn is nonsense. You can make money by studying economics. Brother, do you understand what economics means? This shabby school is patchwork, and my family has no backing. I will only be a clerk in a bank in the future. What if I study medicine or law?
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Sun Jingjun quickly stopped him, "You've drunk too much!"
"I, I don't have much..." Gao Xiaoli struggled, and suddenly he collapsed on the table, still muttering, "I want to make money, I want to make money..."
Gao Dali hurriedly helped Gao Xiaoli to the bed with others, and a woman took care of him.
Coming back, Gao Dali sighed, "Xiao Li, this kid, has never drank much. I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhang, you two are laughing!"
Although Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun are students, they always address college students, Gao Dali and others as "sir".
"Haha, Xiaohua, the gift you prepared is no longer needed. This child has been practicing singing for several days!" Gao Dali said to the little country girl. It was obvious that he liked Xiaohua very much.
"Brother Xiaoli, are you okay?" Xiaohua asked with concern.
"It's okay, come on, let's continue eating." Gao Dali smiled at Lu Ming and Sun Jingjun and said, "Do you want a drink?"
Sun Jingjun said: "Okay, come here, I'll pour you a drink. Today is not only Xiao Li's birthday, but also Brother Dali, you have worked so hard for a year. Today is your holiday! Nineteen years ago Today, God sent a good brother to you, right?"
Lu Ming looked at Sun Jingjun in surprise. This army, hidden deep inside, turned out to be a talent with a high emotional intelligence.
Of course the atmosphere was very awkward. It would be even more embarrassing if they just broke up. He was trying to smooth things over.
With Gao Xiaoli as the center, Dajun and Gao Dali quickly became animated and started making noises, asking Xiaohua to sing.
What Xiaohua sang was a folk song, which was quite clear and pleasant.
"A Ming, as the representative team of our business school, you also have a talent, sitting there with your head down, what are you doing!" Dajun pushed Lu Ming and blinked.
Gao Dali and others also cheered, "Mr. Zhang, come here!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let me hum a song!"
Pick up the kuaizi, knock the bowl, and sing in a low voice: "Old men have to be stable, but who knows, sometimes they are as naive as a naughty boy..."
In my previous life, I could feel my ears tingling when I listened to Internet famous songs, but at that time, I just felt annoyed when I listened to them.
Now that we are two generations old, today we are looking at the lives of Gao Dali and others, and their joys, sorrows, and joys, and this song suddenly comes to mind.
This song expresses the heartfelt feelings of middle-aged men under the pressure of life. Only those who are old can understand it, right?
"It's all your fault that time is rushing and letting the edge leak through your fingers. Time cannot be controlled by you. The choice may not be a soft spot..."
"Who is not unwilling to be mediocre, cursing the tricks of fate, sweating profusely against the cold, afraid of the ridicule of reality, and feeling that he is almost different..."
Gao Dali and others gradually fell silent as they listened.
When you were young, who didn’t feel so heroic and heroic that you were the protagonist in this world?
But gradually I will realize that I am just an ordinary member of all living beings.
But life must go on, and we must work hard to make the lives of those around us better.
Walling in mud and water every day, I just hope that there is still light ahead.
"...Strongness is a deliberate makeup..."
After Lu Ming finished humming, Gao Dali waited in silence for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Mr. Zhang, don't say anything. Come on, I, I must have a drink with you!" Gao Dali's face was full of excitement, and his eye circles were a little red.
Lu Ming clinked glasses with him with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
Gao Xiaoli is lucky to have a good brother who protects him from wind and rain, but Gao Xiaoli is still young and does not yet understand what is most important to his life.
Soon, the army over there also started talking nonsense.
Lu Ming looked at it and smiled.
"Mr. Zhang is different from Da Jun and Xiao Li." Gao Dali suddenly said.
Lu Ming glanced at him and said, "Brother Dali, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Gao Dali was startled, shook his head and said: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "Brother Gao, you can't go to the construction site in Longbei? Have you ever thought about going to the Heishan concession area? There are a lot of projects there now, and the cotton spinning factory is also recruiting people."
Gao Dali smiled bitterly: "How can we Anshan people get into a big factory like that? No big factory wants it. Mr. Zhang, you are in school, so you shouldn't know what's going on outside."
Lu Ming nodded, and the army over there stood up unsteadily, clamoring to go back to school now.
Lu Ming is funny, this guy only climaxed for a short time, even after drinking.
Then he stood up and left.
