Picking mulberries

"He majored in applied biology. What can he do in the factory? He doesn't know how to design or make templates." Cui Dongxu expressed his objection to his father, deliberately using the wrong words to talk about things, thinking to himself You can't let him do physical work.

"I don't let him work as a front-line worker. Xiaoqiu, who is an administrative assistant, is still not competent. Why doesn't he have any confidence in his students." Cui Shicheng has a good insight into his son's mind.

"The teacher is strict with the students. There is a specialization in the arts, so I'm afraid I will be distracted." Qiu Yang is well-behaved and flatters both sides.

"If you really want to work during the summer vacation, you should go to the factory to help my dad. Anyway, my main job during the vacation is to write papers and give lectures to some administrative institutions. It doesn't matter without you as an assistant." See Dad When he asked him to do some administrative work instead of tiring or dangerous work, Cui Dongxu also supported him, but he still felt a little bit reluctant in his heart. He was used to this kid listening to his yelling and directing him to move bricks. Can't move stones, it's quite easy to use.But Dad has been in the business field for so many years, he is extremely shrewd, and he has already developed a keen eye. Since he offered to ask this kid to work in the factory, he must have his own ideas, which shows that this kid is a potential stock. It is valuable to the factory.

I don't know why, since Cui Dongxu got acquainted with this kid, he couldn't bear to let him go outside to take jobs that show off his natural capital. He couldn't find him last time. When Qi Zhuoran said that he went to a family As a doorman in the hotel, Cui Dongxu drove to find him without thinking.The hotel hired some handsome young men like Qiu Yang as temporary workers because there was not enough manpower to hold a large-scale event. Cui Dongxu brought him back under the watchful eyes of everyone.I don’t know if Qiu Yang’s dishonesty made the friend who introduced him to work angry or Qiu Yang himself was afraid that he would disappoint Cui Dongxu if he did that kind of work again. Incubated in Cui Dongxu's laboratory or office, An Anxin is his little assistant.Cui Dongxu was delighted to see that this kid came to report by his side whenever he was free, and from time to time, he would insinuate and warn him that he should stop thinking about running the field.

After thinking about it, Cui Dongxu found it most reassuring to let this boy follow his father, rather than go around outside to show off the capital given by his parents.But after thinking about it carefully, Cui Dongxu became a little puzzled again, what kind of mind does this kid have to work on as a part-time job after school.Although he is an amateur wild model, but other people can't ask for it. He finally established a personal network. With such a convenience, why should I worry about it? What kind of evil mentality is it to intervene with the authority of the teacher.

"Xu... the teacher also agreed, that's great." Qiu Yang looked very excited and satisfied.

"Is it so happy to let you do part-time private work? It seems that being my assistant has also given you a lot of benefits. You must be crazy." Seeing Qiu Yang's smiling face, Cui Dongxu suddenly felt sour. It was really easy. Contented guy.After thinking about it, if this kid continues to go around, maybe he will meet a scout. Based on his appearance, he may be a big star in the future, and young people nowadays are not very envious of being a star. what.Hey, so I may still have missed someone, shouldn't I compensate him, what should I give?At this time, Cui Dongxu had another voice of objection in his heart, pull it down, I don’t owe this kid anything, neither is his class teacher, nor is he his tutor, it’s just a part-time course of their class, it’s clearly this kid It's okay to rely on me for no reason, why would you want to curry favor with a brat like him.

"Yeah, is there any difficulty in your family? Do you have to earn tuition fees by yourself?" Su's mother also asked hastily, assuming that if you are short of money and just tell me, it's okay to cover your tuition fees.

"No, no," Qiu Yang blushed and shook his head quickly, "Although my family is not very rich, it is not a problem for me to study. All the food in the family is self-produced, and several acres of mulberry are planted to raise several boxes of silkworm eggs a year. , the economy is relatively generous.”

"Wow, that's great. Now you can eat what you produce in the countryside, you're a rich man. You don't have to worry about eating what is sold in the market. Your parents are so hardworking, and they have to take care of so many fields." Mama Su said with emotion .

"It's nothing particularly hardworking," Qiu Yang said with a smile, "The people's congresses in our township are like that. Since my country's traditional silkworm weaving art was included in the World Cultural Heritage List in 2009, it has been recognized from provinces, cities, counties and townships. They all attach great importance to the development of the sericulture industry, and also increase the protection of traditional silk weaving techniques. For those with special protection funds, the government distributes subsidies according to the area of ​​mulberry planting and cocoon production, which is much higher than the subsidies for rice cultivation. Now Our enthusiasm for planting mulberry and serving silkworms is very high, relatively speaking, the standard of living is much better than other villages and towns.”

"Then you are still thinking about going outside to earn some money. I thought it was because your family was poor that you were forced to go outside to work," Su Ma said with a smile, "What a good boy, he knows how to lighten the burden on his parents."

"Hey, what's the matter, I'm not doing my job properly." Cui Dongxu snorted.

"I just like the joy after earning money through my own labor. After getting the money, counting the hard money I earned, it feels wonderful." Qiu Yang said in a self-indulgent way.

"What an idiot, how could there be such a weirdness," Cui Dongxu gave him a sideways glance, "Then where did all the money you earn go, and did you send it home?" Through usual observations, Cui Dongxu found that Qiu Yang didn't care much about material things. Not very tall, although the clothes on his body are not cheap, but they will not blindly pursue famous brands and high-end grades like most students.He is not particularly particular about eating, although he keeps complaining in his ears how unpalatable the food in the cafeteria is and how difficult it is to swallow, but in fact he is pretending to be closer to the relationship between himself and the two disciples, His crooked thoughts have long been seen through by himself.

"I'm still a student, I'm still a consumer, okay? How can I support my family? My parents will send me living expenses every month." Qiu Yang was a little coquettish and obedient.

"Then where did all the money you earn go? Is it there that you are going to ask for a wife?" Cui Dongxu saw that the boy still put on such a cute cat in front of his father, and his face suddenly became slightly hot.You brat, you're going to die, you think you're my son, why are you selling cute in my house, you don't feel ashamed to be a big one.

"Academics are the most important thing, and it's time to consider saving money to marry a wife. Teacher, are you misleading your children?" Qiu Yang continued to play tricks.

Seeing his son's reaction, Cui Shicheng smiled wryly, but soon said to Qiu Yang with a pleasant face: "Then what do you do with the money you earn, helping others?"

"Wow, Uncle Cui is so powerful, how did you know?" Qiu Yang said with his eyes wide open.

"Is it really used to relieve difficulties?!" Cui Shicheng said that casually because Qiu Yang believed in Buddhism, but he really guessed right.Looking at Qiu Yang's sunny face, Cui Shicheng secretly sighed in his heart, if his son Dongxu got married earlier, his grandson would be so cute and big.In a blink of an eye, he looked at his son again, feeling sad again, forget it, let's not dream, people live a lifetime of grass and trees, and live a healthy and happy life as long as they are content.

"You...whom did you save?" Cui Dongxu was surprised, he didn't expect the brat to have such benevolence and kindness.

"I don't have a fixed partner either. If you see any need in the news report, you can send it to him." Qiu Yang said casually.

"Don't be afraid of being cheated, isn't it that many of them are fake?" Su Ma said with concern.

"It's not just donating casually. I have my own criteria for judging. If it is close, sometimes I will go to the field and donate directly to the person involved."

"Are there any records? If you donate it to someone who sits back and enjoys the success and doesn't think about making progress, you will be wasting your time." Cui Dongxu said.

"The donated ones will be recorded there like an account," Qiu Yang said heartlessly, "Doing good deeds does not expect to be rewarded, so there is no reason to record it there and wait to see if it is worth it. Let's talk about it , I am not a self-sacrificing heroic figure. It is just a hobby to like to donate. What I enjoy is the process of giving. It's none of my business, because I've already reaped the happiness at the moment of donating."

"Happy harvest? Heck, you're really a weirdo, a lot of eccentricities." Cui Dongxu was speechless after being told by this kid.

"How much did you donate to others?" Cui Shicheng asked.

"I haven't made any specific statistics." Qiu Yang thought for a while, "There are about [-] to [-]. Including those from high school and junior high school, there should be [-] to [-]."

"Hey, there are so many, it's so hard for a student to earn [-] to [-] yuan." Su's mother was deeply moved.

"I said, no wonder I love money so much. Seeing money is like seeing your own father. It turns out that I have earned a lot from odd jobs." Cui Dongxu laughed.

"Seriously, teacher, it's not like what you said. The reason why you are keen on money is just to enjoy the feeling of reward after giving." Qiu Yang puffed up his mouth.

"Okay, okay, you are noble, you are nobler than my many years of party members." Cui Dongxu saw the cute appearance of this living treasure, and felt a little itchy in his heart. If it weren't for his father and the others, if he was in the school's own office, he would definitely act like a teacher. Take the opportunity to pinch his mouth.

"It's not easy. The goodness of your line of work has touched even the Bodhisattvas. They will surely bless you for a lifetime of happiness and well-being." Mama Su recited Amitabha Buddha.

"Xiao Qiu, what is your ideal in life?" Cui Shicheng asked suddenly.

"Ideal?" Qiu Yang was stunned, unable to react for a while, "Ideal, it's really hard to say."

"Dad is really good," Cui Dongxu said with emotion, "Who else has heard of the word ideal now? It would be good if you say it without being laughed at by others. In today's society, materialistic desires are rampant, and young people are obsessed with their own ideals." In "Little Times", who would have any ideals?"

"Am I outdated?" Cui Shicheng laughed.

"Uncle Cui's words can't be called outdated, but the word ideal is not mentioned by many people now," Qiu Yang said while helping Mama Su put the zongzi into the pot, "The teacher's words also make sense, most people I only see the land far away in front of me, and I seldom think about which direction to go and work hard.”

"Are you short-sighted?" Cui Shicheng looked at Qiu Yang playfully.

"Well, I think so. Although having no ambitions is related to the level of thought and ambition of the individual, the cause of its formation is also influenced by social factors." Qiu Yang said with a smile.

"If life is not going well, you can blame the government. Tell me, the country is developing so fast, and the overall living standards of the people have improved so fast. How can it be caused by social factors?" Cui Dongxu said.

"It's like before. As long as you can study, you generally have a direction to strive for. After graduating from university, you will be assigned, and you can have a general idea of ​​what you will do in the future if you are admitted to a university. I will go in that direction. The so-called ideals are easy to come into being, and I can plan well to realize my ideals. But now, even if I study very well, the future is still bleak, and I may die. After more than ten years of fighting, it is not as good as those who have not graduated from elementary school, especially those in small and medium-sized cities. The phenomenon of fighting for parents and mothers is becoming more and more serious. High-quality social resources are firmly held by vested interests. Reading Hopeless, okay, then let's stop studying and enter the society early, is that okay? No, I didn't realize until I fell miserably that I was surrounded by a desperate society. It's not that everyone has no ideals, but that ideals are being crushed by reality After the scum is gone, it’s meaningless to talk about ideals. A bad mood will affect a lot of people. Over time, there will be a trend in society that does not talk about ideals too much. So we can’t say what this generation is There is no ideal generation, but a generation that suppresses ideals.”

"It's far-fetched to cover the face with points, and it seems to make sense. According to you, our society is getting more and more backward?" Cui Dongxu said with a smile.

"What you said just now is also one-sided. I'm just talking about the social atmosphere, and I can't generalize the whole thing. Although our beliefs are different, I really don't mean to attack your political party." Qiu Yang made a face at Cui Dongxu.

"If you really attack, I'll be the first to send you to jail." Cui Dongxu wished he could rub his cute face into twists with both hands, so as not to shake his heart.

"What about your ideal?" Cui Shicheng asked Qiu Yang seriously.Although this kid looks very tender, he is still quite thoughtful.

"My ideal..." Qiu Yang pondered for a moment, "My ideal has almost been achieved."

"That's right, so lucky." Cui Shicheng couldn't believe it.

"It's not that it has been achieved, it has never been done before." Cui Dongxu teased.

"Who said that?" Qiu Yang said unconvinced, "It's really achieved. I want to go to the county to study, and I have achieved it; I want to enter the best agricultural university in our province, and I have achieved it; it is meaningful to do a few things to help others. It's done."

"Aha, I'm really envious of you. You have lived a very happy life at such a young age." Cui Shicheng admired Qiu Yang's attitude towards life from the bottom of his heart. People with faith in their hearts are really different. Think about it.

"Is this the end of your life?" Cui Dongxu saw Qiu Yang put rice dumplings in the pot again, afraid of splashing water, he stepped back a few steps.

"There are ideals that have not yet been realized." Qiu Yang bared his teeth.

"Tell me." Cui Shicheng was more interested.

"First, I want to donate a lot of merit to Liukong Temple, and build a statue of Avalokitesvara in the side hall..."

"Work hard, this should be considered a great achievement for you." Cui Dongxu pouted.

"There is still one most important ideal in my life that has not been realized." Qiu Yang said again.

"The most important thing?" Cui Shicheng raised his eyes and asked.

"It's to be with my most beloved person and live an ordinary and happy life." Qiu Yang said cheerfully.

"The most beloved person, do you have one? The girl from which department?" Cui Dongxu blurted out subconsciously.
