Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 149 The ideal of life

Yangcheng, the streets and alleys.

In one day, Zhao Wenmu and his party roamed freely in the streets and alleys of Yangcheng.

Experience the different southern style to your heart's content.

On the busy water of the Pearl River, cruise ships, cargo ships, and timber fleets come and go.

In the distance is the Yellow Swan Hotel that is still rising.

The viaduct under construction heralds the imminent change, and the tradition and tranquility of the city will quietly pass away.

In the Guangxiao Temple that has gone through thousands of years, the little girl still tilted her head and looked around when she kowtowed.

The cute appearance of falling down on the futon made everyone laugh.

In front of the food stalls, the inexplicable words such as "cooking dog meat" and "selling cats" once frightened a few ladies to turn pale.

In the small square, there are groups of girls roller skating.

At the bottom of the Renmin Bridge, there are small vendors selling watermelons.

The train station and bus station are full of backpackers from all over the country.

Everyone has different looks, heights, and accents, but they all have the same purpose:

Pursue a better life.

Everyone is full of longing to come to this bridgehead of reform and opening up.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Wenmu suddenly became a little confused.

All people have goals.

What about him?
What is his goal?
Let Zhao Jing and Xiaonannan live a good life?Then he has achieved it, and in the days to come, these will not change.

Going one step further, let the people you care about and those who care about you live a good life.

He is doing it and will continue to do it.

The future will be better, that's for sure.

Because born in this era, as long as you work hard, it is impossible for life to get worse.

But it always feels like these are not enough.

Letting everyone live a good life is something that needs to last for a long, long time.

It may even last a lifetime.

It seems like a great cause.

But again this is not a cause.

It's just a natural thing.

Just like you need to drink water when you are thirsty and eat when you are hungry.

As long as he lives in this world, these things must be done, should be done, and he is willing to do them!
So, these are not goals.

It cannot be called an ideal life.

So, what is his ideal in life?

Make more money?
It doesn't seem to be the case, he made a lot of money in his previous life and didn't feel fulfilled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenmu suddenly lost interest.

Even a little unhappy.

Aware of his situation, Zhao Jing took the initiative to hold his hand with some worry.

Back at the hotel, Rong Renyi sent 2 Hong Kong dollars.

"Uncle Rong, what does this mean?"

He was puzzled.

"Xiao Zhao, this is today's consultant fee, don't think it's too little."

Zhao Wenmu hastily shied away.

"How is this possible! Uncle Rong, I'm just giving you an idea. If you have to charge money for this, isn't it too much?"

He doesn't hate money.

But there is really no reason to accept the money.

"Xiao Zhao, just because I regard you as a friend and relative, I only sent 2 yuan. If it wasn't for you, I would have sent 20 yuan!"

"Xiao Zhao, I have a principle. I never eat alone. All those who have helped me, I must repay them!"

As soon as Rong Ren made a firm statement, Zhao Wenmu had no choice but to accept it.

And Rong Renyi made it very clear that it was because of his friend that he only gave him 2 Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, his suggestions are indeed worth 20.

In this case, everyone feels comfortable accepting the money.

"Xiao Zhao, do you want to go to Xiangjiang for a few days? It's already here, why don't you just go and play for a few days."

"Don't worry, I will take care of all the formalities!"

Rongren once again invited them to Xiangjiang.

This time we have arrived in Yangcheng.

It only takes a few hours to go to Xiangjiang, Panyu or Nansha.

As for the entry and exit procedures, Rong Renyi naturally had a solution.

Zhao Wenmu thought about it.

Go to Xiangjiang to see it.

Maybe the questions that bother me will have answers there.

He looked at Zhao Jing and the others.

Zhao Wenqiu and Rong Xinyi immediately tried to ask excitedly and nervously:

"is it okay?"

Zhao Wenmu nodded slightly.

"yeah!"

"I'm going, I'm going!"

The two little girls almost jumped up and shouted.

Zhao Wenmu looked at Zhao Jing again.

Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, but nodded with a smile.

Zheng Guangming has no expression.

Zheng Xiaowen was a little embarrassed.

"Brother Zhao, I'd better not go, I've troubled everyone for too long."

After leaving the capital, she never spent a penny again.

In Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing took them to eat crayfish, a wild vegetable banquet in a state-run restaurant, and various snacks.

Properly treat her little guest as a guest of honor.

When they arrived at Shanqian Village, they lived and ate at Zhao Wenmu's house.

This time I came to the south, Zhao Wenmu bought the ticket.

After arriving here, Uncle Rong took care of all the expenses.

They stayed in a big hotel that they had never experienced in their life.

All the things to eat, use, and play, Rong Renyi instructed the secretary, all of them are the best.

Gifts were also prepared for each of them.

Her one year, no, four years of university living expenses may not be as expensive as those gifts!
If you go to Xiangjiang again, wouldn't it cost more money.

She is a girl who knows how to advance and retreat, she never thought of deliberately taking advantage.

So, don't follow along.

"Xiaowen, if you have nothing urgent, you should go with us!"

"Otherwise, there will be no one to take you home."

As soon as Zhao Wenmu opened his mouth, the little girl choked back all the words that followed.

She didn't know what to say either.

What Zhao Wenmu said was the truth, and now there is no one to send her home.

It is also impossible to let her go back alone as a girl.

"Miss Zheng, you are all Xinyi's friends. I welcome you to Xiangjiang as guests. I have a son and a daughter who are about the same age as you. I believe they are also looking forward to seeing you."

Rong Ren said with a smile.

"Uncle Rong, I'll trouble you then."

"You're welcome, Xiao Zhao, you can play in Yangcheng for a few days first, and when the formalities are completed, I will arrange for someone to take you there."

Zhao Wenmu thanked him and collected the money.

The group went back to the room.

Zheng Guangming made a very witty excuse to visit the night market.

"Amu, I'm going to do some shopping, and I may not be back until around ten o'clock."

He also specifically emphasized that he would not be back until ten o'clock.

Zhao Wenmu would be a fool if he still didn't understand what the other party meant.

Not long after, Zhao Jing knocked on the door of the room.

She left her little girl in the room.

Zhao Wenqiu, Rong Xinyi and Zheng Xiaowen were playing with the little guy in the room.

"Little brother, what's the matter with you today? I see that you are preoccupied."

Zhao Wenmu nestled on the sofa.

Zhao Jing simply sat up.

Sitting right behind him, gently pressing his temples.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what my life ideal is, and I'm a little confused."

Zhao Wenmu closed his eyes and said softly.

Zhao Jing didn't quite understand for a while.

After a while, she spoke softly:
"What is ideal?"

"Yes, what is ideal?"

Zhao Wenmu repeated her words in a low voice.

"I used to think that it was my ideal to let you and your daughter live a good life."

"But that doesn't seem to be enough."

"Shouldn't the ideal be the kind of thing that can't be obtained after working hard? Taking care of you and my daughter is my daily life, just as essential as breathing. It is not a phantom that can't be expected."

Zhao Jing's fingers are slender and slender, but the strength in her hands is just right.

Worried that she was too tired, Zhao Wenmu simply refused to let her be pinched, and leaned back directly into her arms.

"Well, we take care of each other and raise the little girl together. This is just an essential daily routine."

"It's not ideal in life."

Zhao Jing put her hand in Zhao Wenmu's palm.

Then he said:

"In terms of ideals, becoming a literate person and writing some good articles and books is probably my ideal now."

In this regard, she has really been working hard.

"I still have to work hard so that I can help you."

"Maybe it can help you and take good care of you and your daughter. That's the most important thing for me. After all, I'm just a little woman."

"And you're a big man, a big hero."

Zhao Jing spoke unhurriedly.

The gentle and soft voice calms people unconsciously.

"Little brother, in my eyes, you are an omnipotent hero. I am very satisfied to marry you and have children for you."

After finishing speaking, she gently bent Zhao Wenmu's body and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

Zhao Wenmu also returned a kiss on her forehead.

"Let me read a passage to you."

Zhao Jing continued to speak softly:

the hardships of life,
Like the endless river,

Although I have the ambition to go east to the sea,

But the process is slow,
How difficult the journey is,

However, there is always a time when rivers and rivers flow into the sea,

And the ambition of life,
is often difficult to achieve,
Regret for life.

"Little brother, do you know where these words come from?"

Zhao Wenmu shook his head.

"This is what Zhou Yu said after the Battle of Chibi, when Zhou Yu failed to chase and kill Liu Bei, and was so angry with Zhuge Liang's 'Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world, he lost his wife and broke the army' that he was so angry that his arrow wound recurred. He said this when he was recuperating while playing "The Song of the Long River" on the piano at home."

Zhao Wenmu didn't quite understand.

This passage is too depressing.

After listening to it, not only did I not feel relieved, but I also unconsciously wondered if I am too old to accomplish nothing?
Zhao Wenmu was originally just confused about the future.

Now the doubts are gone!

Unexpectedly, at this time Zhao Jing got up and stood under the sofa.

Facing him, press your right hand on your left hand, raise your hand to raise your forehead, bend over and bow, then stand up, and at the same time, your hand is aligned with your eyebrows again, and then your hand is put down.

Standard salute.

I don't know where this girl learned it from.

"The heart of a general, my concubine can understand a thing or two. The general is talented, assists the master, and yearns for the great cause of unification, which is indeed the ambition of Kunpeng. However, it is not easy for the trickle of water to merge into a river. When it flows forward, it merges into the sea. , and will feel even more insignificant.”

Zhao Jing's words, like a spring breeze, caressed Zhao Wenmu's heart.

Zhao Wenmu followed suit and bowed in salute.

said with a smile:

"My wife's words are like gold and stones, and I am relieved a lot."

He already knew what his ideal in life was.

Life is too short to make meritorious deeds.

In this great age, how can we do nothing?
