Cheng Hao has always been generous in praising others.
He even praises himself several times a day, which makes him confident.
Now he lives with Danny and Lin Yuxun, and these two like his praise, so he always finds ways to praise them.
Danny couldn't hear, so he usually expressed himself through body language, but to Lin Yuxun, he praised him with words.
"You are the smartest person I have ever met."
"You clean up so fast!"
"Lin Yuxun, I think you will become a very powerful person in the future."
…
Lin Yuxun has always been disliked by others. His skin color and personality are incompatible with everything around him and he is not likable at all.
He always feels that he is useless.
Until I met Cheng Hao.
Even though he thought Cheng Hao said that just to comfort him, he still felt happy when Cheng Hao praised him, and he became more motivated to study. He always wrote the Chinese characters that Cheng Hao taught him over and over again, trying to learn faster and better.
At noon that day, they ate the extra bread they had bought in the morning and the hot dogs and milk that Lin Yuxun had bought. After they had lunch and worked for a while, Lin Yuxun had finished all his work.
It was only one o'clock in the afternoon!
Cheng Hao said, "Lin Yuxun, I'll take you home, and then I'll go to work. My boss runs a restaurant as well as a bar, and he asked me to help out at the restaurant early this morning... He pays me by the hour, so if I do more work, I can get more money."
Lin Yuxun asked, "Will this be too tiring for you? I'll go help you."
Cheng Hao said, "Who will take care of Danny if you go? Don't worry, if I go there to work in the afternoon, I can come back early in the evening. You know, some people like to work night shifts." In this community, many people sleep during the day and come out to hang out or work at night.
Hearing Cheng Hao say this, Lin Yuxun had no choice but to give up his plan - Cheng Hao had really made a decision, and he didn't dare to object, for fear that Cheng Hao would be unhappy.
Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun agreed, so he sent Lin Yuxun home. After returning home, he packed a set of clothes, found a plastic bottle and filled it with water, then looked at Lin Yuxun and said, "Give me one yuan so I can buy dinner."
Lin Yuxun took out a five-yuan note and gave it to Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao thought about it and took the money.
He planned to go to training immediately after helping Lin Yuxun finish his work on days when he was not boxing, so as to avoid staying up late.
Of course, if he does this, he will definitely have to buy food when he gets hungry, which means he will need money.
After going to school for exercise last night and finding that there were people there, Cheng Hao planned to run away so that Lin Yuxun wouldn't know what he was doing.
He first bought some food on the road, and then ran quickly along a road. After running about ten kilometers, he came to a deserted wilderness.
Here, he started a new round of training.
Some of these exercises looked pretty silly, like he'd draw some lines on the ground and jump around on them.
Of course, training such as skipping rope and push-ups cannot be skipped.
Cheng Hao trained for a while, ate something, and then continued training. He kept training until dark and then ran back.
He bought a lot of bread today, so he wasn't hungry anymore, but he brought too little water... Cheng Hao went to school first, took a shower, washed his muddy clothes, drank some tap water, and then went home.
He had heard that tap water in foreign countries was drinkable, but when he actually experienced it, he found that it didn't taste good and that even rich people wouldn't drink it.
But they have no money, can't afford to buy filters or drink special bottled water, and people here are not used to boiling water, so they just drink tap water.
It was just after seven o'clock when Cheng Hao returned home today.
Although he had a good recovery ability, he was still a little tired. However, even so, he still played with Danny for a while and wrote a few "compositions" for Lin Yuxun to read.
He was too embarrassed to call what he wrote an article.
Cheng Hao hasn't written something like this for many, many years. At first, it was okay for him to write a self-introduction, but now he doesn't know what to write. Finally, thinking that Lin Yuxun needs to broaden his horizons, he simply started looking forward to the future.
"The world is undergoing tremendous changes. Various high-tech products are changing the world..." Cheng Hao actually doesn't know much about the development of the United States in the 1980s.
But there is one thing he is sure of.
The level of technology here is far superior to that in China.
At that time, the country had just started its reform and opening up, and many people still could not get enough food. But here, in such a slum community, in the home of a poor man like Lin Yuxun, there was a refrigerator.
Of course, Lin Yuxun didn't turn it on to save electricity.
The electricity cost in the United States... after converting it, he felt that it was much more expensive than in China.
Yet, in a place where countless people live on relief, surprisingly few people save electricity... Many people are even unwilling to wash their own clothes. Even if they don't have a washing machine at home, they will take 20 cents to a nearby laundry to wash and dry clothes.
In addition, cars and other things are not uncommon.
People who don’t visit this place and only look at the facilities will think that it is no different from cities in China in 2000.
If it were a big city in the United States... maybe it would be no different from a domestic city in 2010, except that there would be no computers or mobile phones.
Oh, maybe computers were already available. He remembered that Microsoft was founded in the 1970s?
Cheng Hao was not clear about the history of computer development, but he felt that computers should already exist now. There was one thing he was sure of - the development of computers would be the fastest in the next thirty years.
If Lin Yuxun wants to change his fate, the best way is to take this express train.
Cheng Hao wrote: "I believe that in the future, computers will enter thousands of households and change everyone's life..." At the end of this article, he imagined everything that would happen after the development of the Internet.
The more I think about it, the more I look forward to it.
The Internet and smartphones change the world!
As someone who is used to mobile payment and likes to check everything online, he really feels uncomfortable after coming to such a place.
Lin Yuxun didn't know what Cheng Hao was thinking. He just asked, "What is a computer?"
Cheng Hao told him what a computer is.
Lin Yuxun was fascinated by what he heard, and thought that since Cheng Hao had access to these things, his family must have been very rich.
But Cheng Hao also said that he is homeless...
He is obviously a young master from a wealthy family, but he encountered an accident and became homeless... Even in this situation, Cheng Hao can still be happy every day, which is really admirable.
Cheng Hao had no idea what Lin Yuxun was thinking. After finishing his "homework", he prepared to go to bed.
When he was going to bed, he suddenly found a few more books and newspapers in his house: "Where did they come from?"
Lin Yuxun said: "When I went out to buy dinner, I stopped by to see one of my teachers. I borrowed these books from my teacher." In addition to the Chinese that Cheng Hao taught him, he felt that he should read more books... Didn't Cheng Hao always say that if a person wants to succeed, he should read more books?
Cheng Hao said, "So that's how it is! What books did you borrow?" If it was a novel, he could read it to kill time when he had free time.
Lin Yuxun said, "There are all kinds of books, and some old newspapers that the teachers don't want."
While Lin Yuxun was talking, Cheng Hao had already flipped through the top book among those books.
As soon as he turned it over, Cheng Hao's expression froze.
It turned out to be a math book...
A bunch of Xs and Ys made him dizzy just looking at them.
He actually didn't have much time to read... Cheng Hao silently put the book back and lay down to sleep.
When the sun rises again, a new week begins.
Cheng Hao and his friends can finally go to school for free meals again.
Not only that, Lin Yuxun can also receive last week's salary today.
It was only at this time that Cheng Hao found out that Lin Yuxun's weekly salary was 28 yuan.
In fact, for such a workload, it is reasonable to pay a higher salary, but there are too few job opportunities in poor communities. Even if the salary is low, there are always people willing to do it, so the salary naturally cannot be increased.
This day, Cheng Hao did the same as the day before. He helped Lin Yuxun finish his work in the morning, and then found a place to train in the afternoon.
It’s just that he went to training the day before and only bought bread, but this time he bought some more milk. Milk can replenish energy and water, and is a very good drink.
Most importantly, the milk here is not expensive at all!
Cheng Hao ran to the suburbs with food and once again increased his training volume, until he collapsed on the ground.
But soon he got up and started punching the air, while thinking about getting himself a sandbag.
Forget about a dedicated training dummy. Once he plays more games at the airport and rents a new place, he can get a sandbag at home...
Now, he is still too poor.
Cheng Hao played for a while, then finally sat down, took a piece of bread and started to eat.
He almost vomited from eating the bread, but he was very hungry and wanted to eat it anyway.
So, on a piece of muddy ground, there was a young man, covered in sweat and dirt and grass, gnawing on the cheapest bread and looking forward to the future.
Far away in Hong Kong, at this moment, a ship docked.
Cheng Yanqi got off the boat and took a deep breath.
He is back.
After his wife died, he left Hong Kong and went to Europe.
His wife had always wanted to visit Europe, and he wanted to fulfill her unfulfilled dream.
When he first arrived in Europe, he stayed in big cities. Apart from missing his wife and feeling sad, he lived a good life. But later, when he followed others to visit some small towns, he was robbed and even lost his passport.
Although he could speak English, he only knew English. After losing his money and passport, his life suddenly became miserable.
But he didn't care, he thought it was God's will.
He began a journey of physical and mental training.
He wandered around Europe for a year, sometimes living in poverty by selling paintings, and sometimes making friends and getting help...
Slowly, the sadness in his heart lessened, and he finally remembered... he still had a child in the country.
So, Cheng Yanqi found a way to get a new passport, found a job in a fleet, and finally returned to Hong Kong with the fleet.
Cheng Yanqi's behavior may seem incredible to ordinary people, but it is not surprising to him.
He and his wife both studied art.
The Cheng family had many children, and he was relatively young among them. Neither his father nor his brothers and sisters wanted him to jump out and grab the property, so in the end he learned painting and married a wife who studied music.
He and his wife are both strange beings in the Cheng family - they are obsessed with art and don't care about money.
Otherwise, they would not have moved far away and lived alone.
When Cheng Yanqi was young, he was one of the most handsome young men in Hong Kong. Before he left Hong Kong, he was still a very handsome and elegant man. However, after wandering in Europe for more than a year and enduring the wind and rain on the ship for several months...
He's totally rough now.
But Cheng Yanqi didn't care. He just wanted to see his son now.
Although he is sometimes unreliable, he still loves his wife and children deeply.
Cheng Jinhao was born in the United States. He and his wife raised him little by little. His love for the child is no less than his love for his wife.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yanqi felt a little guilty.
After his wife passed away, he was so sad that he didn't even take care of his children... He didn't know whether his children would be raised to be old-fashioned after returning to the Cheng family.
Probably not? His son has been smart since he was young, talented in both music and painting, and romantic. There's no way he'd end up like his father or older brother.
Cheng Yanqi carried his suitcase and took a taxi back to the Cheng family.
