Chapter 916 A man
"No, what can I remember."
Xia Xin replied lightly.
Wang Yunzhong smiled and said, "Maybe, if you go back to Xia's base camp, you will remember it."
“…”
"Do you remember the last sneak attack by that bodyguard? Have you ever thought that if you can also have your own power, will he have this opportunity?"
"..." Xia Xin certainly didn't know, and he had never thought about what kind of power he wanted.
Wang Yunzhong continued, "Even if the Xia family is not as big as before, it is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. If he can take charge of the Xia family, no one can stop you."
“It’s very risky.”
“High risk and high rewards.”
"If I find that I am not a heir in the end, I am afraid I will not be able to find the bones."
"No, this is impossible."
Wang Yunzhong shook his head with certainty. "Sometimes, it's really hard for me to understand. How could there be people who don't desire money and power."
“…”
The two chatted casually until Yan Mei came back with the porridge again, Wang Yunzhong stood up, glanced at Yan Mei, and smiled, "You are quite polite, so you can rest. I'm going to see someone later, so I'll leave first."
Xia Xin nodded, "Thank you for saving me."
Wang Yunzhong waved his hand and went out.
Yan Mei carefully put the porridge on the table and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Xin smiled gently, "I want to thank you for your care these days. Just call me Xia Xin."
Xia Xin is really not used to calling him a gentleman, and it sounds so old.
"That's what we should do." Yan Mei replied softly.
"Then thank you, I should be you."
After all, they don’t sleep in the middle of the night. They have been taking care of themselves for two days, so Xia Xin of course has to express his gratitude.
Yan Mei chuckled, scooped a small spoonful of porridge, blew carefully and said, "Mr. Xia, you are too polite."
Yan Mei leaned over her little lips and touched it gently. She felt cold, so she handed the spoon to Xia Xin's mouth.
"Just call Xia Xin, I'm leaving soon." Xia Xin tasted it and found that, "It seems to be much sweeter than the one I just did."
Yan Mei smiled and said, "Because this is medicinal porridge, it will make your body better, but the taste is not very good. I wonder if adding some sugar will taste better, because when I was a child, I especially liked to eat sweet porridge...Is it because I was troublesome?"
Yan Mei looked at Xia Xin carefully.
Xia Xin smiled gently and said, "No, it's quite delicious. My sister also likes to eat sweets."
For example, sweets such as Coke chicken wings are especially popular on summer nights.
Xia Xin accepted a wider range of flavors.
Seeing Yan Mei with a careful expression, Xia Xin added with a smile, "It's indeed much better than just now."
Yan Mei then showed a relieved smile.
"Yes, when I was a child, I was particularly envious of other people's children who had a lot of delicious food. At that time, my biggest wish was to eat porridge with sugar, oil cakes, etc., which made me feel delicious."
Xia Xin found that Yan Mei had spoken a lot more than before, and she also lacked the formulaic charming and sweet smile, which seemed a little natural.
These words actually reminded Xia Xin of his poor time.
A look of memory appeared in his eyes and said, "Yes, I'm about the same. My biggest wish at that time was to have two meat buns for each meal, which would be very satisfying."
Yan Mei seemed to have found a common topic, and her little face showed an excited look, "Yes, right? I was so envious of my classmates at that time. I could go to the breakfast shop to eat meat buns and sweet soy milk for breakfast. I think it is the best breakfast in the world."
She still regarded Xia Xin as a poor relative who came to gain wealth, but she no longer had any insults. Listening to Xia Xin's words, she felt that she had found her childhood and had a very common topic.
"Did you come from the countryside too?"
"It's almost the same." Xia Xin smiled, "I was quite poor when I was a child."
"So too." Because Xia Xin saved her just now, Yan Mei felt that she was very close to Xia Xin and dared to speak, "But our family doesn't have much money. Usually, it's a little bit better than water, because rice is very expensive, so it's better to add some sugar. And if the sugar is added too much, it will be thug on the back, which is a mess."
"..." Xia Xin didn't know what to say. In love, this little girl was in a worse situation than herself when she was a child. Fortunately, looking at her current appearance of famous brands and cosmetics, she should have lived much better, "How old are you?"
“20.”
Only then did Xia Xin realize that the other party was only one year older than him.
Yan Mei gently stirred the porridge because she recalled the past. Her voice became much lighter. "There is no way to go in the countryside. She always prefers boys over girls. She thinks that her daughter is a money-losing product, and eating an extra grain of rice is a waste. My parents said that everything should be left to my brother. Then when my brother was 13 years old and in junior high school, there was no money at home. That year, I was 14, so my parents decided to marry me to a native boss in the village to exchange for my brother's tuition. After all, he is the only hope of the family to be prosperous."
"The boss is in his 40s, with a big head and ears, and his belly is bigger than an oil barrel. I heard that he has three little wives. I thought that if I marry him, I would be ruined in my life. So I stole 50 yuan from my family at night and ran out alone. I took the train to pick a city and came to this bustling metropolis. I was only 14 years old that year. I still remember the smell of the wheat cake I had eaten all the way. I ate it when I was hungry and ate it when I was hungry. Later, it was so bad that I had to swallow it."
"Uh... I really have the courage, what happened later?"
Xia Xin felt that this girl's experience was just like hers, and she was quite miserable. She also admired her determination to run to the metropolis for 50 yuan, but she was very curious about what happened later.
"Later, I was looking for a job here. I was in the second grade. I knew no more than 100 Chinese characters. I could only calculate the addition and subtraction within two digits. What kind of jobs can I find? I first go to a restaurant to serve plates, become an apprentice, and have enough food and clothing, and then I changed to a few jobs. I would do whatever I earn, and finally I changed to KTV and became a private room princess. The money was quite fast."
Yan Mei said with a confused look on her face, "I don't know why, but the men seemed to like me very much. Maybe I'm pretty. I always thought about saving money to send it to my home and going to school for my brother. After all, I ran away and I'm very sorry for him. I have been saving money and sending money, but I have been cheated many times one after another. I found that people in society are so scary. I'm stupid. I can't write and can only make half of the calculations. The money was cheated out for no reason. Some were not sent out, and some were not sent. It was probably a year later, and I finally sent 5,000 yuan to go home."
"Then they called me to ask where I live. I also gave them some other things. I could earn 7,000 or 8,000 a month, so I kept 1,000 yuan by myself, and sent the rest to my family for my brother to go to school."
Speaking of this, Yan Mei blinked her eyes and looked at Xia Xin, "Guess what happened later?"
"Your parents finally found out that you can make money, have you changed your mind? And they still ran over to see you?"
Yan Mei smiled bitterly, "It's right to run over to see me, but I came to catch me back. My parents called me too selfish because I ran away, which made my brother not learn, and our whole family had no food to eat. We raised me for 14 years in vain and asked me to go home with them and marry that native boss."
"Because I sent back the photos I had recently dressed up. At the beginning, I was only worth 30,000 yuan. Now after looking at my photos, the local boss has increased the price. I am worth 300,000 yuan. My parents are moved and dragged my hair to pull me back. No matter how I cry, it's useless."
“…”
"But, the foreman of KTV is also very fierce and refuses to let me go. He led people to chase me to the train station, beat my parents, and took me back. Later, I was afraid that my parents would catch me again, so I hid and hid in Mr. Wang's entertainment city, and didn't send any money back."
Of course, the monthly earnings have also gone from 4 digits to 5 digits, and now it has been 6 digits.
Yan Mei said this and looked at Xia Xin, "Am I quite selfish? I just think about myself, because I ran away, my brother didn't learn, and my parents had no food to eat."
Xia Xin smiled, "...Whoever says that, you should slap him to death. The incompetent one is your father. Can't a man even take good care of his own home?"
Xia Xin was stunned when he said this, and his eyes widened, because he was so familiar with these words that he had never thought that they would say them out of his mouth.
He was very impressed by this. His father said the most to him with a stern face, "Because you are a man."
No matter what questions he asks, no matter what unfair treatment he receives, complain to his father, no matter what he doesn't understand, ask his father, and the answers he gets are usually this sentence. Or it's a beat.
This led to his random thoughts that he either paid for the phone bill or picked it up in the trash can.
Since childhood, Xia Xin's biggest relationship with his father was that he was afraid and even hated him.
However, just as the words were spoken, Xia Xin suddenly understood. He understood the mood of his father when he said this.
It was like a sudden enlightenment. This simple sentence contained my father’s expectations for himself!
yes.
There are many fathers who never said their expectations!
What Xia Xin often thinks is that without expectations, there will be no disappointment. Anyway, no one has expectations for himself, so he doesn’t have expectations for himself, just do what he should do.
Thinking that it was all the same anyway, it didn't matter what the result was.
Until now, compared with Yan Mei's parents, he suddenly understood.
My father has long held too much, too much, and countless expectations on me.
But my father had a stern face and never said it. (First released by Heiyan.com)
