Ordinary Road 2010

"My whole life has been a bit muddled."

"Your grandfather didn't come early. I was about the same age as you are now when I entered the factory. That's the quota given by the factory to take care of our family."

"Later, I will work in the factory down-to-earth, send your aunt to marry, and wait for your uncle to grow up and start a family and start a business. Finally, I will support your grandma until her death."

"When I'm done with all this work, when I look back, I realize that you are already this old, and any thoughts you had when you were young have disappeared."

"You see, most of my life is just a few words."

As soon as Lin knew, how many honors, disgraces and struggles were contained in such a few calm words.

In his previous life, when he was tortured by 996 and overwhelmed by the crisis of being unemployed at the age of 35, Father Lin, who was even older than now, mocked him like this after drinking:

"I think that's the way your big factory works. It seems that you give a lot of money, but it's actually buying your life."

At that time, what Lin Yi envied most was the sense of domineering and security of "your grandpa the worker" revealed in his words.

In fact, he should have thought that this sense of security has never been a charity from anyone, but has turned the turbulent waves of life into small waves countless times.

Lin Guoqing has never talked about his past like today.

Complicated thoughts echoed in Lin Yi's mind, so that he was a little lost: "Dad, what are you trying to say?"

"Lin Yi, what I want to say is that I have been like this in my life, but I hope you don't."

"I hope you can be free, do what you want to do, and pursue the life you want to pursue."

"I hope you don't have to look back and forth, don't have to shrink back, boldly go where you want to go, love the people you love."

"I want you to live the life I only imagined when I was young."

At this moment, Lin Yi's shock was indescribable.

He seemed to have just realized that he had never really understood the man in front of him.

Dad was not born with a beer belly, nor was he a taciturn middle-aged man from the beginning, who would only sit on the sofa and watch "News Network" and "Across the Straits".

He was also a teenager.

No one cared about what ideals and ambitions he had.

Has he also longed for poetry and distant places?

Even if it is so ordinary, he will never say the phrase "what is in front of him" lightly, because that is his life, and it is something he has always devoted himself to.

It took a long time for Lin Yi to escape from this shock, he could only say this simple reply mechanically:

"I see, thank you, Dad."

Lin Guoqing stood up from the bed, habitually brushed off the non-existent dust on his buttocks, and floated away like an expert.

Chapter 145 The Most Reasonable Answer

Lin stayed at home for one day, and the next day was Sunday. He took the bus back to school in the early afternoon, but left the school gate after leaving his luggage in the dormitory.

Last night, he made an appointment with Gu Caiwei on the phone in advance, and he will come to visit today.

One is born, the second is cooked.

He found his destination with ease, and it was Gu Caiwei who opened the door for him, and it was still Ms. Gu Changge sitting opposite the two.

"Have your parents talked to you?" As an elder, Ms. Gu Changge spoke first.

"Yes. My parents asked me to convey to Aunt Gu that they made some radical remarks that day, which was really offensive. Please don't take it to heart, Aunt Gu."

"Mom, when did you meet Lin Yi's parents?"

Lin Yi didn't elaborate on the phone last night, so Gu Caiwei didn't know why he came today, and only then did he hear something.

Lin Yi patted the back of her hand, signaling to be calm.

Seeing that her daughter immediately calmed down, Xiaowei treated this guy even more well-behaved than she did in front of her, and Gu Changge felt a little apprehensive.

"There's no need to apologize. I didn't think carefully about this matter. Your parents are also eager to protect their children, so it's not an offense."

"But Lin Yi, they must have conveyed to you my attitude on Xiaowei's matter. Do you have anything to say today?"

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "I came here today mainly for two things. First of all, of course I want to clarify the previous misunderstanding with Aunt Gu."

"What misunderstanding?" Gu Caiwei, who knew nothing about the situation, was at a loss beside her.

Ms. Gu Changge sat across the room by herself, clasped her hands with a stern expression, nodded slightly to show that she was listening, and motioned for him to continue.

"First of all, it's about my relationship with Peng Yuchen."

"On National Day, Gu Caiwei and I met Peng Yuchen at the Golden Arch on Hefang Street. It was indeed a chance encounter. Before that, I had never met this person. You can verify this at will."

"Secondly there was the claim that there was a relative who was a matchmaker."

"My family relationship, I believe my parents also introduced it to you in detail the day before yesterday. Of course, that so-called relative is also a non-existent person."

"The reason why I said that at the time was actually just a small joke with Gu Caiwei. I didn't expect such a big misunderstanding to arise."

"What joke, Lin Yi, are you kidding me again?" Gu Caiwei asked in a bad tone.

Ms. Gu Changge really wanted to support her daughter's reaction. She had such an overreaction because of her news. Could it be that she really lied about the military situation?

Xiao Gu also knew that he was in his own home, and it was not the time to argue with Lin Yi, so he turned around and asked:

"Mom, have you met Lin Yi's parents two days ago?"

Gu Changge nodded.

"What did you say?"

"That's what I said."

"Is this the misunderstanding he was talking about? Then there would be no such relative, and I was just asking nonsense at the time."

Gu Caiwei hasn't understood the terrible thoughts her mother had before, and Ms. Gu Changge doesn't intend to tell her, especially now that it seems likely that she is just suspicious.

In fact, Ms. Gu Changge has been introspecting for the past two days, and after she calmed down, she also felt that she had thought of Lin Yi too darkly.

Why is there such paranoia?

From childhood to adulthood, I have always been the person Xiaowei trusted and relied on the most. However, Xiaowei went against her will for the first time because of this boy, and gave up her plan to study abroad.

In order to respect Xiaowei, I agreed.

But now Xiaowei is preoccupied with becoming a trainee, and this guy has a strange attitude. Under Xiaowei's unintentional misleading, she regards him as a sinister and cunning person.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Ms. Gu Changge found that her daughter seemed to be getting out of her control because of the appearance of this person.

Why does Xiaowei only discuss such an important matter with him instead of with herself?

This is something that has never been done before.

It may be that under the influence of this subconscious mind, I had the idea that I must drive him away from Xiaowei. This is the underlying reason why Ms. Gu Changge went to Lin Yi's parents without thinking deeply.

After figuring this out, she had to admit that what Lin Yi said might be closer to the truth, because her previous guess was too unbelievable.

The jokes made by the boys and girls turned out to be the most reasonable answer.

Ms. Gu Changge has accepted Lin Yi's statement to a certain extent, but she will not let go easily:

"I'll check again."

Lin Yi was very sure that Ms. Gu Changge couldn't verify anything, because what he said was true.

The biggest information asymmetry is that the "unpredictable prophet" incident was bizarre in the past. The more Gu Changge thinks logically, the less he will think about it.

He really made Gu Caiwei and Peng Yuchen meet like "historically", so that she could have another chance to choose.But this cannot be proven. Even if he told Ms. Gu Changge that he only knew it because of the memory of his previous life, Gu Changge would not believe it, because her brain is not broken.

When a normal person hears this kind of words, they will only want him to go for a drug test.

And he and Peng Yuchen did not conspire, there is no doubt about it, the lives of the two people had no intersection before that.

Therefore, from the perspective of "facts", this matter can only be a "misunderstanding".

An accidental beginning is a very fateful thing, and it will have a subtle impact on the psychology of the person involved.

This is true for Lin Yi, who inherited the memories before rebirth, and it is also true for Gu Caiwei and Ms. Gu Changge at this moment.

As for the flaws that he inevitably revealed in a few words, only Gu Caiwei had the opportunity to find out, because Lin Yi didn't hide too much in front of her, so she could see some clues. In fact, she asked that question before. aware.

But still that sentence, she never doubted Lin Yi.

At this point in the explanation, this matter can basically be easily exposed, and he believes that Ms. Gu Changge has already accepted this answer in her heart.

This topic has come to an end, Lin Yi hesitated for a while and continued:

"Aunt Gu, I said before that I came here today for two things."

"In addition to explaining to you what happened just now, the second thing is that I would like to take the liberty of talking to you about Gu Caiwei being a trainee."

In Lin Yi's current capacity, he shouldn't have intervened in the matter between mother and daughter, and he knew that Gu Caiwei could convince his mother by himself, but he didn't want to have such a disturbance again.

The two other people in the room reacted very differently to this statement.

What Gu Caiwei thought was that Lin Yi was going to stand up for herself, and there was a tinge of sweetness in her heart.

Ms. Gu Changge was the alarm bell. She had just accepted his explanation in her heart, but she never thought that Lin Yi would dare to shoot the gun under such a violent reaction before.

Do you really think that the way Xiaowei obeys him now can be her own home?

Chapter 146 There is no easy way to go

"I don't need to worry about this matter."

"Mom!" Gu Caiwei called out dissatisfied first.

Lin Yi didn't care about her cold attitude, but first stated a fact: "I don't know if Aunt Gu has noticed that due to the delay of this matter in the recent period, Gu Caiwei's studies at school have been significantly affected."

"I guess it's the same for special students preparing for the exam."

"This matter cannot remain unresolved, it is time to make a conclusion."

Gu Changge actually discovered this too. Now that we've come to this point, it would be great if we can get it done once and for all.

"Okay, I agree."

"But I want to make a statement first, my attitude will not waver, I don't think Gu Caiwei will have any good future in that small company."

"I admit the chances are slim."

The two sides have exchanged basic opinions many times, and Lin Yi didn't throw out any shocking violent remarks, but first said some sincere nonsense:

"But Aunt Gu, every choice in life is inherently risky, and no one can promise a child a completely smooth life."

Gu Changge was displeased: "Risk is not the same as risk, and you don't need to teach me this."

"Lin Yi, I must remind you that Xiaowei has given up on going abroad because of you. Now you are asking her to be a trainee. Do you want to control her entire life?"

Gu Caiwei said first: "Mom, I don't want to go abroad. I also want to be a trainee. Don't blame Lin Yi."

Lin Yi also made a statement: "I didn't intend to control her life. But Aunt Gu, no one can control her life, including you."

Gu Changge suddenly felt that it was too ridiculous to talk about "life" with a high school student who was not yet an adult.

So she turned to her daughter: "Xiaowei, I told you that this road looks beautiful, but it's actually not that easy."

"You don't seem to believe it, so let me tell you again."

"When my mother was studying opera, her talent was not considered bad since she was a child, and she was willing to work hard to learn and practice hard. Ask yourself if you are not inferior in everything, but in the end?"

"You have studied for 12 years since you were young, and at least there is a college entrance examination for you to try your skills. But I have studied for more than ten years, but I don't even have a chance to be on stage!"

"Do you know what's the saddest thing? There's not even an explanation."

"Whether you lost in appearance, or in body, or in four skills and five methods, singing, doing fighting, hand, eye, body and step, no one can give you an explanation!"

"I'm not the only one who has suffered this kind of grievance. People are still talking about the five golden flowers for so many years, but how many newcomers on the stage have been able to stand out in the past few decades?"

"How much time it took me to accept this reality, in the end it can only be attributed to a fate."

"Ten years, how many decades are there in a lifetime?"

"Xiaowei, when you were young, you gave up halfway through learning opera. I didn't force you, but I thought it would be a good idea to take it as a hobby."

"That's because I have walked this road, and I know how difficult it is."

"I know that young people seldom learn opera. You may think that singing and opera are two different things. The opera world is declining and there are no successors, so there are those I just said."

"But in my opinion, no matter singing or singing, the rules of Liyuanxing have never changed."
