After Yu Yang finished eating, he put down his rice bowl and listened to his mother tell stories, occasionally raising his questions.
"Mom, according to you, Uncle Xiaofeng, Grandpa Yusheng, and Grandpa Yuyong are all working in the city now, living as migrant workers?"
Chen Hong nodded: "Yes! That's why it's not easy for them to earn money. As children from rural areas, you should study even harder."
Remember that every penny you spend is earned through your parents' hard work and sweat. Cherish it, and be grateful!
Yu Yang said with a serious little face, "Mom, I will write a letter to tell Wang Xin and Xiao Hao about this."
We will study hard, go to university, make a lot of money, support you in your old age, and let you enjoy a comfortable life.
Chen Hong laughed uncontrollably: "Son, I'm telling you these things not to put pressure on you to take care of us in our old age."
Mom wants to tell you that no matter what, a person must have a skill and the ability to survive.
To live a good life, you need to acquire more knowledge and skills than others.
Actually, given our family's current financial situation, you could live a life of plenty even if you did nothing.
However, just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does life bring unexpected joys and sorrows; one cannot live off past glories.
Even maintaining what you have requires ability. If you lack ability, you can't hold onto a mountain of gold and silver.
So your only way out is still to study! Learn all the skills you like and are willing to learn.
Mom won't restrict what you study. While completing your basic academic courses, you can study whatever interests you and what you love.
As long as you like it and are willing to study hard, Mom will definitely find a way to ask a teacher to teach you.
It is said that there are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert! There is no distinction between high and low, noble and base, in any kind of knowledge or skill.
Learning to the extreme can bring unexpected rewards. Son, do you know that?
Your IQ is higher than average, and Mom believes that as long as you study hard, nothing will be too difficult for you.
But Mom emphasized one thing: we absolutely cannot get involved in prostitution, gambling, or drugs. We won't do anything illegal or break the law!
Yu Yang stared wide-eyed at his mother as she spoke, nodding repeatedly. "Mom, I remember! I want to be a soldier when I grow up!"
"By the way, Mom, learning guitar won't be of much use for joining the army, right? Why don't you find me a teacher and I'll learn martial arts instead!"
Chen Hong rubbed her son's head and said with a smile, "Son, didn't you watch TV? There's a saying now: no matter how good your martial arts are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!"
Don't rush, first master the military boxing that your father taught you. Modern warfare is information warfare and technology warfare.
No matter how good your skills are, they can't withstand modern weapons! Study hard and try to get into the National Defense University so you can both serve in the military and develop high-tech weapons with great destructive power.
Those are countless times more enemies than you could defeat with martial arts. Don't give up the guitar if you like it; it's very useful for cultivating your character and regulating your mood.
Besides, look at the special forces soldiers in movies and TV shows, don't they know a thing or two about everything? When they're disguised as undercover agents, the more they know, the more advantageous it is!
Keep it up, son! There are so many interesting and useful skills waiting for you to learn!
After fooling Yu Yang, leaving him sitting on the sofa lost in thought, Chen Hong began to clear the dishes and clean the house.
It wasn't until the mother and son went downstairs for a run that the son insisted on practicing for an extra twenty minutes. In his words, Xu Sanduo was selected to join the army because he ran fast.
Running is the most basic form of physical exercise, and he must persevere with it, gradually increasing the intensity to improve his physical fitness.
Chen Hong was speechless and could only run with him for more than an hour, and then practice military boxing with him in the small square for forty minutes.
Yu Yang was drenched in sweat. Chen Hong handed him a towel to wipe his sweat and asked, "How are you, son? Can your body handle it?"
Do you feel palpitations, shortness of breath, or any discomfort? If you feel unwell, tell your mother immediately.
Exercise should not be too aggressive; it should be done gradually, allowing the body to adapt slowly.
Otherwise, not only will you not get exercise, but you'll also harm your body.
Yu Yang shook his head, "Mom, I feel really good after sweating a little!"
It's good that everything is alright! Chen Hong took the child home, gave him some water and fruit, and arranged for him to take a bath and rest.
Her son was asleep, but she couldn't sleep; she needed to go into her spatial dimension to farm at night.
The crops have all been harvested, but the land needs to be plowed and prepared for replanting. The fruit harvest isn't finished either; the farm work in this space continues endlessly in a never-ending cycle!
If Chen Hong doesn't slack off, she'll have work to do every single day of the year.
I'm truly born to be a workaholic! God has been so kind to me! I've been unable to escape labor and work in both my lives!
Other people's online spaces either allow for automatic harvesting with a single click, or they allow for harvesting with a thought or mental effort.
But for her, it meant going back to the old ways of farming, putting in a lot of effort to plant and harvest!
Although she felt a little envious and longing, she had no dissatisfaction whatsoever. She was incredibly lucky to have this fully manual space.
I wonder how many lifetimes of good deeds they accumulated to receive this reward from God.
She should be content. Sigh! Take it slow! If she can't finish during the day, there's always the evening, right?
No rush, there's plenty of time! She's only in her thirties, she's still thirty years away from being unable to work!
Work harder now so you can have an easier time when you're old. Save up more food and vegetables while you're young and strong so you can just lie down and eat whatever you want when you're old.
It sounds wonderful! Chen Hong no longer felt tired, and she no longer got bored with the repetitive cycle of farming and harvesting.
Let's work hard for a better retirement life!
