Zhou Yiren's vision of giving Yang Dongxu a happy childhood and more friends of the same age is obviously difficult to achieve.
But he is not a rigid person, and he knows that the precocious Yang Dongxu seems to be unable to play with his peers. The past few years have also proven this.
Therefore, since it was useless, Yang Dongxu did not show the loneliness after having no friends of the same age, or develop any paranoid character. Zhou Yiren knew that his godson's education model really needed to be changed. Otherwise, going to school will no longer be for your grandson's benefit, but will waste his time.
Fortunately, he discovered this before it was too late. After experiencing Wan Jun's accident, Yang Dongxu really began to pay attention and wanted to learn more. Instead of using his smart brain to eat more and seize more opportunities, it was just right.
"As expected of the leader of the reform room, he has a unique vision. He not only knows how to look forward, but also knows how to look down at the road." Yang Dongxu came to the university courtyard at the weekend. Yang Dongxu concentrated on adjusting his classes and preparing to learn more and lay the foundation. Old man Xuan obviously I knew it, and I couldn't help but admire Zhou Yiren's gaze.
"My godfather is naturally very good." Yang Dongxu looked proud.
He admired Zhou Yiren from the bottom of his heart, so sometimes he would talk to his godfather about the direction of the times. But he just talks on paper and only knows what is happening, but not why.
But Zhou Yiren kept his feet on the ground and crawled forward. His control of the development of the times and the plans and methods that could be put into action often made Yang Dongxu feel bright.
Therefore, in just a few years, Zhou Yiren became the leader of the reform room and also held several other important jobs. He often goes in and out of Zhongnanhai to discuss national and international affairs with those at the top of the power pyramid, which is highly appreciated by some leaders.
"Why does he care so much about you? If you were half as cautious as your godfather, you wouldn't have gotten yourself into trouble now." Old Man Xuan snorted.
"Who doesn't know how to think in hindsight? Aren't you smarter than my godfather? We two eldest brothers don't talk about the second brother." Yang Dongxu curled his lips.
"I admit that Xiao Zhou is indeed talented and learned. Even in ancient times, he was qualified to be a prime minister? But do I have poor vision? If I had poor vision, would I teach you the methods of figuring out people's thoughts and plans? ? "Old man Xuan seemed a little unconvinced that he was being compared to Zhou Yiren.
"This..." Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
At this time, when I think back on the use and control of people's hearts that Old Man Xuan taught me, as well as some of the layout methods of the 'Thousand Sects', and other various skills and techniques, it seems that they are not just random things.
If Zhou Yiren wants to bring back Yang Dongxu, who has gone astray, from the right path, then Old Man Xuan wants to make Yang Dongxu have a skill that will not make him worse off than others even if he goes astray. .
Although the two people have different starting points, they are both for his own good and they both use their thoughts.
"Boy, I was reckless before. Thank you Grandpa Xuan for your concern and love." After figuring out the reason, Yang Dongxu stood up and gave a big salute to old man Xuan. Only now did he realize that behind Old Man Xuan's seemingly stern look, he actually hid such care and concern for himself.
Yang Dongxu's gift made Old Xuan stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You are a dog, and you wag your tail only when you see bones?" Old man Xuan seemed very grateful to Yang Dongxu, but he was still rude in his words.
"No matter who you belong to, I will support you till the end of your life. To scold me is to scold yourself." Yang Dongxu snorted.
"You are just a bastard." Old Man Xuan became furious instantly.
But when he heard Yang Dongxu talking back to him, although old man Xuan was furious, his heart that had been in a state of panic when Yang Dongxu said "Grandpa Xuan" instantly fell back into his stomach.
He was really not used to Yang Dongxu's respect for a while. He clearly felt the change in his mentality. Old man Xuan couldn't help but cursed his bad temper in his heart.
"What's for lunch?" Yang Dongxu ignored Old Man Xuan's anger and became more concerned about what to have for lunch.
"What the hell! I've been with you for so long. I'll lose at least ten years of my life." Old Man Xuan stood up angrily. Although he said it was too much, he still got up and walked to the kitchen.
Yang Dongxu followed behind him. He remembered that in the morning, Old Man Xuan brought back a pheasant that he had cleaned and soaked in a jar. Chicken in the Royal Concubine Jar was definitely Old Man Xuan’s specialty, and he did not often share it with Old Man Nalan. It's as good as the Buddha jumping over the wall.
"Although you were born in a rural area, your personality is a bit too domineering. You want to get involved in everything and make a fortune. Even if you become an emperor, you are not as greedy as you. There are so many good things in the world, how can you get them all in your own home? "Lifting the lid of the jar and taking a look inside, Old Man Xuan nodded and spoke to Yang Dongxu at the same time.
Yang Dongxu on the side scratched his head in embarrassment. He had only recently discovered that he who was just an otaku was actually a greedy person.
Before rebirth, he was just an ordinary person and did not show this aspect of his character, mainly because conditions did not allow him to do so.
This is just like those people on the Internet who hate the rich and hate officials in later generations. The reason why these people curse so fiercely is not because they really hate the rich and officials, but because they are scolding themselves for having no money and power.
If they have money and power, they may do more than the rich and officials they hate. Now Yang Dongxu undoubtedly has money and the ability to influence power. Therefore, a greedy character emerges, and he wants to take advantage of everything he sees.
Fortunately, Yang Dongxu is lucky enough to have Zhou Yiren, his godfather who can guide him on the right path. There is also Old Man Xuan, an elder who allows him to live a good life even if he takes a wrong path. Otherwise, even if he is a reborn person, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.
After all, his greed has begun to swell, and he only sees benefits, but does not see the potential dangers around him. If you don't know, you will definitely fall into trouble later if you step back from the cliff.
He is just reborn, not immortal. If he is not clever enough and is tricked by others, or digs holes to make things difficult, his reputation will still be ruined. What this world lacks most is smart people, and what is most in short supply is also smart people.
Can you be proud of the world just by being reborn? Then you are really overthinking. Even the great people who influence the world sometimes make mistakes. You, a reborn otaku, dare to say that you can comfortably live to the age of 80 without any illness or disaster in your life?
Yang Dongxu swallowed his saliva while standing aside to reflect. Two hours later, when the jar was taken off the stove, Yang Dongxu could no longer bear it.
He is not a blind person, nor is he an arbitrary person who cannot listen to other people's opinions. So now that he knows he is wrong, he will correct it with his heart. With a clear direction, he can be said to be refreshed. At this time, coupled with a delicious jar of imperial concubine's chicken, it is simply a life like this. What else can I ask for?
"Old man, there are a lot of Chinese medicines in this. It should be for children like me to take a little more to help them grow taller. Why do people like you, who are half buried in the loess, eat so much? Do you want to find it for me? Grandma Xuan?" Yang Dongxu shouted as he watched old man Xuan pick up the meat with his chopsticks and gnaw on the chicken leg, and quickly took a chicken wing into the bowl.
"If I had the same temper before, I would slap me to death, do you believe it?" He sucked the wine from the wine cup into his mouth with a slurp. Old man Xuan threw the bones of the chicken leg aside without any politeness, and put the other chicken aside. Scoop wings into medium bowl.
"Slap me to death, and you will really become a homeless person. Kick the widow's door at night and dig the grave of the homeless family. You are one of the two classic ways for a gangster to become famous. Do you know that you have become one of the two classic methods in one fell swoop?"
"Xiao Zhou is such a sinner. How could he bring a brat like you out of the ravine?" Old Man Xuan stretched out his hand to hit Yang Dongxu.
But Yang Dongxu, who was scooping meat into the bowl while talking, instantly ran away with the bowl in hand. Logically speaking, after being beaten by Old Man Xuan for several years, he should be used to it. But it’s hard to get used to the fact that old man Xuan has such skills. Every time he beats Yang Dongxu until he screams without leaving any bruises or hidden injuries.
"My home is a plain with no mountains, not even a mountain, only a river..." Yang Dongxu, holding a bowl, squatted on a stone bench in the flower garden not far away, gnawing on bones and talking to Old Man Xuan without delay. bicker.
This kind of scene often appeared in the past few years when there were only two people, Yang Dongxu and Xuan. Although Yang Dongxu respects Old Man Xuan as an elder in his heart.
But when getting along with old man Xuan, the two of them seemed more like bad friends. It seemed that both of them felt uncomfortable if they didn't ridicule each other for a day.
Going to class one day a week was the result of discussion between Zhou Yiren and the soldiers and civilians, but Yang Dongxu, who didn't have to go to class six days a week, became even busier.
Originally, I only occasionally consulted the teacher for half-baked German lessons. Zhou Yiren also had an acquaintance at the Central Academy of Art, so Yang Dongxu had several full-time teachers with a complete range of skills and types from music creation to musical instruments to singing.
In addition to this, Yang Dongxu also often goes to the acting department and the directing department. Acting is just a matter of learning more and knowing something. Old man Xuan asked him to learn this. Life is like a play. If you can’t perform, you won’t live. So even if Yang Dongxu doesn’t have the dream of becoming an actor, acting is a must. Learned.
Since he had learned all about acting, Yang Dongxu simply learned some knowledge about directors or screenwriters. Don’t overwhelm yourself with many skills. Take advantage of your young age and good memory. If you can, learn as much as you can. You’ll be able to use it in the future anyway.
In addition to these, Yang Dongxu also applied for the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Architecture. In short, Zhou Yiren brought out the enthusiasm of future generations of parents for enrolling their children in interest classes, or he was afraid that Yang Dongxu would have free time to ponder those messy things, so his enthusiasm was a bit too much.
He didn't sign up for Yang Dongxu's interest class at all, but went directly to the all-rounder class. Compared to Old Man Xuan, who taught everything, he only needed to be proficient in a few things and understand others. Zhou Yiren's requirements for Yang Dongxu must be learned, otherwise the meat will be fried on a bamboo board and served.
So for a long time Yang Dongxu felt that he had finally escaped from the edge of a big pit, but fell into a bigger pit, and he was not allowed to climb out of this pit for a short time.
