It is said that old children, old children, as people get older, their personalities will develop more and more in the direction of children. [No pop-up novel website]
Especially the current Mr. Chen, who is of the son generation (the weird third son who used to have to worry about is now being transferred to watch, staying in a semi-idle department, with a high position, and can be regarded as a powerful one) Several grandchildren are motivated and capable, and given time, they will be able to take over the baton from their parents. Apart from occasionally giving them some advice, he no longer needs to worry about the future of these children and grandchildren.
Mr. Chen has always been in good health. Now that Zhao Jinyu has taken good care of him and taught him a set of effective health-preserving boxing, his face is glowing and full of energy.
From this aspect, it is not an exaggeration to say that everything is going well for the old man now. Unfortunately, people will always have their own troubles, and the old man is no exception.
The place where the old man lives has fresh air and a quiet environment. It is a good place for health care. Those who are qualified to live here are not simple in any status. When they go outside, they are all frightened people.
No matter what they did before, these people have now retired, and therefore have a lot of free time. With this free time, they have developed some hobbies, such as playing chess, fishing, and practicing. Calligraphy, learning painting, or taking care of some flowers and plants, etc.
The old man came from a poor family in his early years and didn't read much. Later, he had his daughter-in-law who came from a scholarly family. Because he was always busy with work, he learned some culture and knew it. In terms of other aspects, even Mrs. Chen at that time was just. sigh. Only after retirement can I really concentrate on practicing calligraphy and learning to play chess. But, to be honest, my level is really limited.
Even if Zhao Jinyu said it against his will, the old man's calligraphy level can only be said to be passable, and his Go level is so-so. Of course, as a hobby, this is completely enough.
Those who can live here must be young and have a competitive personality, otherwise they would not take this step. Now that everyone has stepped down, there is nothing to fight about at work, so we can only fight in other areas.
There are many people here who like to play chess, and all of them have a personality that refuses to admit defeat. Every time they play chess, no matter whether they win or lose, they will blush and be embarrassed.
The old man of the Chen family retired from the army. He used to be a strong person. Now that he is older, he has become a little calmer, but it is limited. , the old man was not very good at playing chess, and he also liked to regret his moves, which was commonly known as the bad chess basket. In fact, it is not only Mr. Chen who has this problem, there are also several others who have this problem. Except for those who really can't find anyone, those who play chess in a polite way don't like to play with them.
In the past, due to his limited level, Mr. Chen won less and lost more when playing chess. Every time, he would wait for revenge next time. It can be said that he suffered repeated defeats. Occasionally, winning once would make the old man happy for a few days.
Ever since Zhao Jinyu was admitted back to the Chen family last year, the old man knew that he could also play chess, and would pull him to play a few games every time he came. Occasionally, other members of the Chen family would come here. Looking at Zhao Jinyu who was accompanying the old man to do the molding, he couldn't help but admire him and felt relieved.
They all know that the old man is a bad chess player. To be honest, if it wasn't to make the old man happy, they really wouldn't want to play chess with him. The idea of not regretting after losing chess is completely nonsense to the old man. But for them, if they win, they win, and if they lose, they lose. What’s the point of playing if they always regret their moves?
When playing chess with Jin Yu, the old man also likes to regret the game, but Jin Yu has a particularly good temper. Every time the old man says that he made a mistake just now and wants to regret it, he makes him start over. The old man even said, when should I make such moves? Zhao Jinyu has a very good memory, so he restored the chessboard to the way it was at that time, and asked the old man how he should make such moves to avoid falling into the same predicament as before.
Under the influence of Zhao Jinyu, the old man said that his chess skills have improved rapidly. It must be a lie for someone in his eighties, but it is true that he has improved. Now when he goes out to play chess with others, he can win at least ten times. Three or four times.
Every time I played chess before, if I lost, I lost, and I could only win back the next time, the next time, or the next time. It's different now. Every time Zhao Jinyu comes here, the old man will take him for a walk around those old guys. When he was playing chess, he asked Zhao Jinyu to be his adviser. After he won, he said that he deserved a beating, "Oh, the kid just doesn't understand, so he just made noises on the sidelines."
Although everyone was so angry every time that Mr. Chen was angry, they had a good impression of Zhao Jinyu. There are a few young people today who can sit still. The younger ones in the family all live in the city. They come here once in a while and just have a meal before leaving. Unlike the one from the Chen family, they are very good-tempered and play chess with the old boy from the Chen family every time they come over. He writes big characters and goes fishing with him. Mr. Chen was often laughed at and scolded when he played the lute. Finally, there was someone who could watch the Chen family's bandit den.
In addition, Zhao Jinyu has good medical skills. As he gets older, some problems that belong to the elderly will come. As long as Zhao Jinyu often helps them, the old doctor is still effective in many cases.
In fact, they knew many things about Zhao Jinyu. Even at such a young age, he killed two people without blinking an eye. They said that he had a good temper, how quiet and well-behaved he was, and no one would believe him. It's just that he has a good face and a calm demeanor. Even if he is with old guys like them all day long, he doesn't feel annoyed at all, but is very patient. Even they can't help but envy the Chen family's good luck.
When he was in school, Zhao Jinyu usually came here once every two or three weeks if there was nothing special. If possible, he would stay here for one night and chat with the old man, which not only relieved the old man's loneliness, but also benefited him a lot. When he was very young, he lived with Mr. Yang in a mountain that was almost isolated from the world, and he developed a very quiet temperament. Now that he lives in a suburb far away from the city center, he doesn't feel bored at all, and there is nothing strange about him.
I couldn't help it when I was in school. It's summer vacation now. When Zhao Jinyu came over, the old man couldn't bear to leave immediately. So after seeing Zheng Xiaojun from the Zheng family, he didn't leave immediately. He stayed here in the compound for three days before returning to Jinxiyuan. .
Originally, the old man was reluctant to let him go, but he said he had made an appointment with Chen Lihui and was going to go there, so the old man let him go.
After Zhao Jinyu returned to Jinxiu Garden, she gave Yan Chen a special call and asked him to come over and help check it again. According to the results of his last examination and the estimated recovery, it is time to make some appropriate adjustments to the prescription.
What he didn't expect was that before Yan Chen arrived the next day, Zheng Xiaojun from the Zheng family arrived first.
Summer vacation has arrived, and although there are still many faculty and students on the Kyoto campus, on a relatively normal day when classes start, the entire campus can almost be described as empty.
There were very few people left on campus, and even fewer people could get up early to exercise. Zhao Jinyu went to the playground at five o'clock to exercise and saw almost no one. This situation made him feel more comfortable and relaxed. Because there was no one around, Zhao Jinyu extended his exercise time this morning and ended his routine exercise just before seven o'clock.
As Zhao Jinyu walked, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with a towel. He glanced at the car parked on the left side of the community gate. When he was about to continue walking and entered the community, the front door of the car he glanced at just now was opened. As the car door opened, a sentence came at the same time, interrupting his pace, "Jinyu, good morning!"
Zhao Jinyu turned around and looked at the pale Zheng Xiaojun standing there leaning on the car body. Although he was full of questions, he did not ask after all. Instead, he followed his greeting just now and nodded to say hello, "Uncle Zheng, morning!"
"Good morning, Jin Yu. I originally wanted to come over and disturb you two days ago, but you have been living at Mr. Chen's place, so it's hard for me to come over and disturb you. I came here early this morning. I have something to ask you, no. Is it inconvenient to know?"
He was originally such an impatient person, but when he thought about what Zhao Jinyu said before he left, he always felt that there was something unknown in it. Occasionally, he had a fleeting thought, but he never caught it.
And Zheng Xiaojun always felt that he did not explain his condition in detail that day. When he wanted to ask further questions, he avoided him without leaving a trace. Because two old men were present at that time, he couldn't say much. He took this trip today to completely clear up the doubts.
At that time, Zhao Jinyu thought of reminding him secretly that she had a good first impression of Zheng Xiaojun, and it felt a pity to see him being harmed like this. What I thought at the time was that if he was really smart enough to understand the meaning of his words, it wouldn't be in vain for him to talk too much. If he was indifferent to those words, it would be better to have less contact with him in the future. That kind of person would be his if he was stupid. Life.
Now that he listened to his request, he regretted his talkativeness in the past few days, but people had already come to the door, so there was no need to dodge.
"I just came back from exercise and I'm still covered in sweat. Do you think this is okay? Wait a moment while I go up and take a shower. I think you haven't had breakfast at this time. Why don't we go have breakfast together later? Yes. We’ll talk about it later, Uncle Zheng, do you think this arrangement is okay?”
Zheng Xiaojun naturally had no objections. He came here today to ask someone for something. Now looking at Zhao Jinyu's intentions, he is obviously willing to have an in-depth conversation. As long as his requirements are met, everything else is not a problem.
Zhao Jinyu has never been the kind of person who works hard. In less than half an hour, he went downstairs and took Zheng Xiaojun to a porridge shop. Although it usually only takes him ten minutes to walk there, but considering Zheng Xiaojun's physical condition, he still took his car there.
At first, Zheng Xiaojun kept chatting with Zhao Jinyu about some current hot topics. After the driver who came in with them had almost eaten, Zheng Xiaojun found a reason to send the driver away, and then asked what he had always wanted to ask. .
"My health is getting worse and worse for some reason. My grandfather and I both asked what the reason was that day, but you avoided it without leaving a trace. We all thought that there was a way to nurse my body back to health. , we were so happy that this issue was ignored by us intentionally or unintentionally. Thinking about it now, you didn’t say it on purpose at that time. I know you must have your reasons for not saying it, but it concerns me, and I still hope to know. The real reason!”
Zhao Jinyu sighed secretly, "Since there is hope of cure here, why should I think too much?"
The expression on Zheng Xiaojun's face was unpredictable, but after a moment he returned to his usual calm self-control, "I have been very good at reading since I was a child. I skipped grades in elementary school, junior high school, and in the college entrance examination, I was admitted to Kyoto as the top scorer in science in our city. Tsinghua University. It was a smooth journey in college. After graduating from graduate school, I entered the government department. In four years, I was promoted from an ordinary clerk to the deputy director of a department in my unit.
I do not deny that this is due to my family background, but it is inseparable from my own efforts. In the past four years, I have never spent less than fifteen hours a day working, studying, and studying, including holidays. Never went to bed before twelve o'clock at night. "
Zhao Jinyu sat opposite Zheng Xiaojun, just listening to his story quietly, without thinking about what to say.
"Probably because he felt that my work performance over the years was good and recognized my future career development, my grandfather announced in front of everyone in the Zheng family on his 75th birthday, four years ago, that the old house of the Zheng family would be left to I."
Zhao Jinyu can guess the following developments without going any further. What makes him wonder now is where did the person who gave the drug get such a secret medicine?
This secret medicine can kill people silently, which makes many people change their minds after hearing about it. However, very few people really know and have seen it. Even Zhao Jinyu himself met one by chance. The patient who took this medicine was later inspired by a historical book and finally found the antidote formula.
I didn't expect to see this secret medicine again after more than 800 years. To be honest, I was a little bit happy. Of course, in this case, don't let Zheng Xiaojun know about it.
"I used to believe that my destiny was determined by God, but what happened to me in the past few years made me feel that people can't compete with God! No matter how smart and capable you are, God won't let you live. What's the use of being smart if you don't have your life?
In the past few years, I have always felt that God was playing a joke on me. The old man has announced in front of the whole family that he will leave the Zheng family’s old house to me in a hundred years, which means he indirectly recognizes my status as the head of the family in the future and transcends me. Father, uncle and four brothers. However, within three years, I became so weak that it was difficult for me to go to work, and now it is even more difficult for me to walk a few steps.
When I was leaving that day, you advised me to change my environment. I actually didn’t care at that time. By coincidence, I happened to see a piece of news that night about a man who ended up in a new house because he had used some toxic decoration materials. After living there for less than a year, I got cancer.
Thinking that you specifically asked me about the fragrance of my body and advised me to change to a new environment, what else do I not understand?
My mother died of illness when I was in fifth grade. My father remarried a month later. My stepmother gave birth to a boy eight months later. She was said to be premature! For this reason, my grandparents and three uncles have almost cut off all contact with the Zheng family except for their relationship with me.
I have never thought about this before. There are many brothers and sisters in the Zheng family, and there must be conflicts and fights between half-brothers. But I always thought that we are all one family, and there is a bottom line no matter how much we fight. It's limited, but it won't be fatal.
It turns out that I was too naive! "
