Chapter 3174 This Is Growth

Sure enough, Zhou Ping took a bite of the food, but didn’t eat it again. He stared at it for a long time, put down his chopsticks and said, “Later, it’s nothing later. Didn’t my father get sick later? The car was hit, and there was no surveillance at that time, and the perpetrator could not be found. What can I do? I think I am unlucky, and I have been lying in the hospital for three months. I have borrowed all the relatives and friends at home. At least he saved his life, but it was impossible to stand up, and he couldn't even think about doing the work on the boat.

"The conditions of our family were not bad, not bad, really, at least we don't have to worry about food and drink, so it won't work. My dad can't move, and my mother can't take care of such a big barge by herself, so I put the boat on the ground. I sold it and went back to my hometown to open a grocery store. Since then, our family has never touched a boat again.”

"oh……"

It was the first time Li Yao and the others had heard Zhou Ping mention his father's health, and the three of them didn't know how to comfort the boss.

"It's okay, it's all in the past, isn't the day getting better and better?"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "The first few years were really difficult. Really, the feeling of having no money was so fucking uncomfortable. At that time, I was about thirteen or fourteen years old. I thought I would stop going to school and go out to work to help the family. , and my mother beat me like crazy and insisted that I go to school, saying it was the only way out for our family, um, the only way out.

"I'm actually not very smart. You should be able to see that I'm not really a 'scholar', and I haven't studied hard since I was a child. I'm not interested in anything other than things on the ship. I'm not really good at studying.

"However, every time I read a book and my head starts to hurt, the picture of my mother beating me while crying will appear in my mind. Alas, when I think of this, no matter how painful my head is, I can't help it.

"Later, what is there to be later? Later, I was admitted to our school. Although I wasted a few years more than others, I have laid a solid foundation, and now I have found a job. Just now I called back to talk to my parents. There are also brothers and sisters announcing the good news, they have not been so happy for many years, seeing them happy, I am also very happy, really, really happy!"

"and you"

Zhao Kai drank a little too much and asked, "Don't you want to be the captain of an aircraft carrier?"

"That's just a child's wild imagination, how is it possible?"

Zhou Ping grinned, "I don't know what to say, anyway, ever since I put my mind on my studies and haven't touched a boat for many years, the...'feeling' or 'spirituality' in my body has gradually disappeared. ,Disappeared.

"Gradually, I seldom have messy dreams about spaceships, and I seldom think about boring things like Star Wars and star sea jumping. Strange, just a few years, seems to be as long as decades or hundreds of years, it really seems like a lifetime away."

"It's normal."

Yu Xin said, "Everyone grew up with this feeling! By the way, you didn't want to go to a ship school or something later?"

"No."

Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "You have been admitted to such a school, and it is impossible for you to become a captain as soon as you graduate. You have to start from the bottom. Even if the salary is higher, it is normal to not go home for a year or so. , My dad looks like this, my mother is getting older, and she is also suffering from various ailments. She refuses to push her to the hospital. It will be even worse if I am not at home all year round.

"So, let's just do this as a boyhood dream. How could it be possible to return to an aircraft carrier? Even if my dad hadn't been hit by a motorcycle, I wouldn't be able to be the captain of an aircraft carrier. It's just a child's imagination. You say yes, don't you? I wouldn't have been a captain, would I?

"In short, the current job is located in our provincial capital, and the salary is not bad. I often have the opportunity to go home. If I work harder, I might be able to buy a house in the provincial capital and take my parents over here. That's my biggest dream right now."

"good!"

Li Yao, Yu Xin and Zhao Kai gave Zhou Ping a thumbs up, "Ambient, boss, buying a house in the provincial capital is a hundred times more difficult than being the captain of an aircraft carrier or even a spaceship. You really are an investment tycoon, a financial tycoon!"

All four of them laughed for a while.

"Boss has already talked about this, let me also talk about my childhood dream!"

Zhao Kai hiccupped and said, "The vivid dream that the boss talked about, I have actually had it, really, it's not a nonsense on the wine table, but I forgot what cartoon it was, it may not be a cartoon, something else.

"In short, when I was a child, I also had a lot of weird and colorful dreams. In the dream, I seemed to be a... explorer didn't know the role of a special soldier. I didn't even look like a human being, but I had four arms. There is also a tail, and then I run in all kinds of extremely harsh and dangerous environments, such as jungles, cliffs, volcanic lava, etc., running desperately, and there are many vicious alien monsters chasing me coming.

"I thought, if people really have a previous life, then my previous life was probably a strengthened super special soldier, going out all day to take risks, scouting, fighting, haha, very exciting, right?

"Then, under the influence of these strange dreams, I have been very lively and active since I was a child, and I couldn't sit down for a second. My parents and teachers said that I had needles in my buttocks, and I stabbed them every time I sat down.

"I just like to take physical education classes, or go out to run wildly in the street after school, climb trees, climb stairs and so on. Once, even my parents didn't know about it. Once I jumped from a tree more than ten meters high I fell from a big tree, it was more than ten meters high, at least three or four floors high, and guess what, I seemed to awaken some kind of power in mid-air, and I saw all the bones and muscles in my body at once, just like a cat I adjusted my posture in mid-air, landed lightly and deftly, except for sprained feet, nothing happened at all, really nothing!"

The three of Li Yao exclaimed.

However, speaking of Zhao Kai's physical fitness is really good, the person who usually lives in the dormitory has excellent sports performance, and has long hands and feet, but his torso is not clumsy at all, just like a big spider.

"Well, if I was born ten or twenty years later, I should have known, I should have been a parkour athlete or a rock climber, or an explorer or something in my life."

Zhao Kai sighed, "At that time, we didn't know about these professions, we only knew about gymnasts."

"It's not bad being a gymnast."

Yu Xin said, "Your athletic talent is so great, why haven't you tried it?"

"Indeed, a gymnastics coach came to our elementary school to pick out good seedlings, and he also took a fancy to me."

Zhao Kai spread his hands and said, "Do you think my parents can agree? How can a bowl of gymnastics be so delicious? Winning the championship is of course beautiful, but you can't win the championship. You are injured, and you can't get up or down in practice. What will you do in the future? So , let’s study honestly. Later, there are more and more books to study. Our school’s physical education class has changed beyond words. After school, we don’t have time to climb trees and run wildly on the street, just like what the boss said , the strange dreams of adventures on alien planets are becoming less and less, and the 'spirituality' will naturally disappear!"

"Yes, it's not easy to engage in sports."

Yu Xin thought for a while, "Then do you like gymnastics, rock climbing, or parkour?"

Zhao Kai raised his head, downed half a bottle of beer, rubbed his eyes with a wet towel, and said, "Is it important?"

"That's right, hahahaha, although childhood dreams are interesting, but people have to grow up and face reality!"

Yu Xin smiled and said, "I also had dreams when I was a child. I often dreamed of many colorful paintings, some of which were as big as a whole planet. I thought I had an artistic talent. In my previous life, I was famous all over the world. No, it was famous for many people." Artists in the world, my paintings even have various...'capabilities', oops, why do I feel ashamed to say so!

"In short, I didn't realize until I grew up that every child thought that he was a unique existence when he was a child, that he always had a special mission when he came to this world, and that he once had countless messy and colorful things. It was not until I grew up that I realized that I was nothing special at all, and that all I dreamed were daydreams that were impossible to realize, at this time, I really matured!"

"Yeah, everyone is the same, all the same."

Zhao Kai murmured, "Hey, didn't we start talking about Li Yao's affairs? Why did we talk about nonsense 'dreams' and 'growth'? Anyway, you understand what we mean, right? Yao, everyone has experienced your state, but you must get rid of it, you must not indulge in these nonsense networks!"

"That's right, Li Yao, everyone cares about you."

Zhou Ping said sincerely, "Talk to your brothers if you have any problems, we will accompany you to see if you feel uncomfortable, don't always be bored in the world by yourself and can't get out, well, they are all fake, made up, Things that don’t make sense, the real life in front of you is real, right?”

"right."

Li Yao nodded vigorously, and he also felt the same way, "I understand what you guys mean, something was wrong with me in the past, but today I drank and chatted, and I think I'm fine, really, I know what's going on, thank you With everyone’s enlightenment, I really can’t post this kind of daydream anymore.”

"They're all my brothers, don't say such nasty words, okay, it's not as serious as you said!"

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Again, it's really true these days, why everyone's childhood dreams are colorful and full of flowers, and when they grow up, they want to be captains, artists, athletes, and scientists Now, when you really grow up, all the fucking people have only one dream left to make money!"

"Yeah, it's really boring."

Zhao Kai said, "Otherwise, you can help me realize my dream, I will make money, and you can become a gymnast, okay?"

"fart."

Yu Xin said, "Why don't I go to make money, you help me realize my dream of becoming an artist, and by the way, you also become the captain of the boss's aircraft carrier?"

"So, making money is the first, making the most money, long live making money!"

Zhao Kai was completely drunk, leaning on the back of the chair and dancing, "What a shitty dream, go fuck it!"

The four people in the 610 dormitory were all drunk that night.

Anyway, just like all the college students who had a breakup meal, they hugged each other and talked a lot, cried and laughed many times, mentioned money, dreams and women, career, ambition and love, and made countless unrealistic promises Promise, sent countless rhetoric that will be forgotten tomorrow.

In the end, the four supported each other and stumbled out.

Li Yao was slightly sobered up by the breeze blowing at the door of the fly restaurant, and one or two colorful bubbles appeared in the back of his mind.

"Boss, you go first."

Li Yao said to Zhou Ping, who was still a little sober, "I want to blow some air, sober up."

In fact, Zhou Ping didn't have the consciousness to speak, so he waved at him, and left with Yu Xin and Zhao Kai.

"Boss!"

Li Yao suddenly called out, "Where's your homework?"

Zhou Ping stopped.

"What homework?"

He turned around suspiciously.

"That's what you said, the homework book full of space battleships, the homework book when you were a child."

Li Yao didn't know why he asked such a question suddenly.

"have no idea."

Zhou Ping was indifferent, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered what Li Yao asked, "Probably the barge fell into the water when I sold it, or I burned it myself. It took so long, who knows!"

"Then do you remember how to draw a spaceship?"

Li Yao said, "It's the spaceship that appeared in your dream."

"I haven't had that kind of dream in a long time."

Zhou Ping thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember the last time he had that kind of dream, so he could only say, "It's been a long, long time."

He waved his hand vigorously, not knowing if he was driving away Li Yao or something emerging from the depths of his soul, and walked into the black and white lights and shadows illuminated by the street lamps.
