The first time she saw Alvin, little Ginny screamed, dropped her schoolbag and rushed towards Alvin.

She ran into Alvin's arms in three steps at a time. Little Ginny grabbed her father's face and said excitedly: "Dad, why are you back?"

Alvin smiled and pinched little Ginny's face and said, "I want to come back early to see how you demolished the school.

It is said that Old Kent won the bid in the ‘School Demolition Bidding Competition’ with a price of 5,000 yuan. How much money have you got now?”

Little Ginny covered her face with a pair of chubby hands and said sadly: "Dad, why don't you launch the math teacher to an alien planet?

We just went back to school to have fun, and he arranged for us to take the exam..."

As she spoke, little Ginny whispered into Alvin's ear with a complaining expression, and said: "Dad, I think our math teacher looks down on me..."

Alvin frowned and looked at little Ginny and said, "Why do you think so?"

Little Ginny stared, holding up her palm as if there was a notebook inside, then imitating her teacher's expression, she looked at her palm and said: "Harry, 100 points, Lucy, 75 points, Emma, ​​93 points, Cathy,

62 points, Ginny, cough, cough..."

As she spoke, little Ginny seemed a little hurt and fell into Alvin's arms, and said uncomfortably: "The teacher doesn't want to read my scores, I think he must look down on me.

Dad, I don’t want to go to school anymore, I want to go home and be a waiter..."

Alvin let out a long sigh, carefully looked at little Ginny, whose self-esteem was hurt, and said, "Then what score did you get on the test?"

Little Ginny wrinkled her little nose and said seriously: "I scored 46 points, which is just less than half."

Alvin covered his heart, and after a long silence, he looked at little Ginny and said earnestly: "Dad can testify that your math teacher cares about you.

From now on, keep your math scores as a secret and don’t tell anyone, especially old Cage, otherwise that old guy will laugh at us.”

As he spoke, Alvin put little Ginny on the ground, then said hello to Ant-Man, Sandman, and Sam's daughter respectively, and motioned for them to go play by themselves...

After several little girls rushed to the back alley to toss Baymax and Wilde, Alvin took a depressed sip of whiskey, looked at him and cursed: "Are you fucking laughing?

Have you ever been to college? Do you know what calculus is? Have you heard of linear algebra? Do you understand probability theory and statistics?"

As Alvin looked at Shang Qi's confused expression, he sneered and said, "You still laugh when you don't understand anything. From now on, restaurants will need to show their academic qualifications when evaluating job titles, and the wages of people who haven't gone to college will be reduced by three levels."

Shangqi looked at Alvin in shock and said: "Boss, no one in our restaurant seems to have gone to college..."

Alvin glared and cursed: "I want to motivate you to make progress. Why the hell are you telling me this? It shows you are smart, right? You know I never went to college?"

Do you dislike Jessica for not going to college?"

Shangqi was slapped with a hat by Alvin indiscriminately, making him run away with his head in his arms...

Jessica, who had just returned to the restaurant, shook her car keys and hummed a tune to say hello to everyone, but she saw Shang huffing her head and hiding in the toilet.

Looking at Alvin sitting at the bar, Jessica screamed and rushed over, hugged Alvin's neck and turned around, shouting: "You are finally back, I have my eye on a car, but my deposit

It’s still a little short, you have to help me, otherwise I will sell the Bentley you gave me.”

Alvin pressed Jessica's head in annoyance to keep her away from him, then squinted and said, "If you can't drive a luxury car, what kind of car do you want?"

Jessica rubbed her hands and said excitedly: "Julie's hover car has been finalized, and I want to buy one.

With it, I won't even have to refuel in the future, which can save a lot of money for other things.

And it’s Julie’s stuff, so we have to support her no matter what, don’t you think?”

Alvin listened, nodded in approval and said, "That's right, how much does a hover car cost?"

"It's not expensive. You can buy an entry-level model with only 300,000 yuan. After all, I'm not rich either, so I can only support this much."

After hearing this, Alvin nodded appreciatively and said, "Well, that's a good thing. I'll make up for it if you still have any shortfall."

After Jessica screamed, she hugged Alvin's head and started kissing him. After calming down, she looked at Alvin carefully and said, "I'm still short of 298,000..."

"roll!"

After driving away Jessica who wanted to swindle money, Alvin held his head and looked at the busy old man, and said: "Is there anyone else among these young people who can make people worry less? How is your son Jiawen doing now?"

After hearing this, Lao Cheng raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Since I told him not to fool around with Nick, that kid's grades have skyrocketed.

I think the first college student at the Peace Hotel must be my son, haha..."

While Lao Cheng was talking, Nick's loud shouting came from the door of the restaurant.

Glancing back, Alvin saw that this kid was wearing clothes with the words "Hell Ghost Gang" printed on them and was selling Jurassic World specialties to passers-by.

Swift nails, Tyrannosaurus rex's deciduous teeth, Stegosaurus's bone spurs...

Those dinosaur metabolites used to deceive tourists in Jurassic World were all priced at a high price by Nick.

What's even more bizarre is that there are still people willing to pay the bill...

Lao Cheng looked at the sad-looking Alvin and said with a smile: "Every child is different. Nick is a natural leader. He can do well in anything he is interested in."

Alvin drank a glass of wine in distress and said helplessly: "It's a pity that he has no interest in going to school..."

Fortunately he is not my biological son, otherwise I would have beaten him to death."

As he spoke, Alvin looked outside and said curiously: "Where is Fox? The children are back, where are the Fox people?"

Lao Cheng smiled and took a sip of dragon bone wine and said: "Fox is probably still in school at the moment. During the time when you are not at home, Fox is assisting Nelson in handling school affairs.

Homecoming day has passed, and tomorrow is the official opening ceremony. She will probably not be back until very late today.

Would you like to go and have a look? She will probably be very happy to know that you are back!"

Alvin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'd better not cause trouble. Later I will take little Ginny and the others out for a walk, and see if I can pick out a gift for Fox.

This week must have been very busy, and she has really worked hard.”

Lao Cheng waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's okay to go out for a walk, you haven't been to Hell's Kitchen for a long time, let everyone know that you are back, and everyone can feel at ease.

You have been out for too long recently, and the price of the villa I bought in the dock area has not increased. It would be good for you to go shopping quickly and let my assets appreciate a little."

Alvin looked at the "money addict" Miao Cheng in shock, and said funnyly: "That house is bought to live in, what does it matter whether it goes up or not?"

Lao Cheng looked at Alvin like a fool and said: "Real estate is part of personal assets. The annual appreciation rate is less than 9%. Taking into account depreciation and bank interest, it is equivalent to me losing money.

Recently, my wife was reading financial books, and I suddenly realized that life would be terrible after digitizing all our belongings."

Alvin looked at the "money addict" Mingcheng with contempt, and said funnyly: "According to your calculation, ** is now a multi-millionaire, how do you think he is living?

I don’t even have any children, so I bought the house for my grandchildren.

You have to pay off the loan every month, and you have to hang out with your friends even when you drink. What do you think is the meaning of living this life?

If you change your mentality, you can retire and enjoy happiness now."

Lao Cheng didn't answer Alvin's words. He just said with emotion: "It's so hard. It's a bit humiliating for Temple not to work on Wall Street.

But I'll forget it. I'll just keep working until I'm 65. By then I can't do anything anymore and I can still take care of Jiawen's children.

What is happiness? Some people call it happiness when they live in and out of life all day long. I stay here for several hours every day and chat with the old neighbors, which is also enjoyment."

Alvin looked at Lao Cheng, as if he had seen countless Chinese parents in his previous life.

They have been busy all their lives. From the perspective of the new generation, they have not lived a good life, but they never complain about hardship and hope to continue to be busy.

Young people don't understand what they are aiming for, and can only view the efforts of their parents from a noble perspective. After all, everything they strive for will eventually be left to the next generation.

People are very strange things. Inner sustenance is sometimes more important than material abundance. This cannot be replaced by things like traveling or dancing.

The highly motivated generation in Alvin's previous life didn't even know what they should do after retirement. Work was actually their greatest inner sustenance and the key to proving their worth.

In his previous life, Alvin saw many old people urging their sons and daughters to have children. Sometimes it was not necessarily to continue the family line, but more likely to find a new spiritual sustenance after being "unemployed."

Then, in the process, they will "overcompensate" for the missing parts of their sons and daughters' childhood to their new little lives.

This is a kind of emotional substitution and an alternative expression of parents' guilt towards their children. It is also a unique living situation for some elderly people in China, the world in Alvin's previous life. After all, their children are adults, and it is impossible for the elderly to ask them to pick up the milk bottle again.

…

Of course, these are not absolute. Everyone's living environment is different, and it will be very different when they get older.

A bad person will remain a bad person even when he gets old, and a selfish person will not become a philanthropist even when he gets old.

Old people have different personalities, but there are generally only two kinds of happiness. One is when one finds new spiritual sustenance by oneself, and the other is when children provide new spiritual sustenance.

Of course, there are two other types, that is, those who are rich themselves, and those whose children are rich.

Looking at the blushing old man, Alvin sighed and patted his arm, took out a bottle of dragon bone wine and handed it to him, saying: "You still have to take care of yourself. Even if your son grows up, he will be able to fight in the future."
