Li Xu understood what she meant and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. If you feel you have shortcomings, just keep studying. When the situation changes, you can put your knowledge to use. As long as you can achieve something, I think your teacher will not be disappointed in you. Instead, he will be proud of you."
Li Mei thought about it and found that what he said made sense.
All I can do is try my best not to let my teacher down, otherwise I will have to give up the position of successor.
But the problem is that it took at least half a month for the letter to be sent, and by then the teacher's health could no longer hold on, and he might have passed away by now.
In this case, how could she write back to express her wishes?
Of course, she could choose to give up and not tell anyone.
But she couldn't get over this hurdle herself.
So she took a deep breath and said firmly, "I will try my best and will never let him down."
Then she turned to look at Li Xu, "Xiao Xu, if I don't understand something in the future, please teach me."
"No problem." Li Xu agreed readily, and then said, "Sister, give me the letter so I can see his predictions about the future economic situation."
He took the letter and looked directly at the predictions under Li Mei's guidance.
At first glance, he thought the handwriting was quite beautiful, with each stroke strong and powerful, and it didn't look like it was written by a dying person at all.
He was stunned at the second glance, because it said that domestic economic policies would change within five to ten years. It would no longer be the current planned economic system, but would become a market economy.
There is also a series of analyses above, which are really well-reasoned and well-founded.
After reading it, Li Xu's expression was very complicated. "Sister, if your teacher doesn't die, he will definitely be a big shot in the future."
Although there is some difference in time, we cannot say that the teacher’s prediction is wrong.
Because no one could have imagined that there would be a bigger storm coming.
Judging from the current situation alone, the time predicted by the other party is quite reasonable.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, the other party dared to make such a bold judgment. Li Xu really admired him.
"Do you agree with his idea?"
"I agree, but my guess about the timing differs from his. I think it should happen within ten to fifteen years."
At this moment, Li Mei suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "You said that my expertise wouldn't be useful for more than ten years. Could it be that you made this inference then?"
"About the same."
Li Mei: ...
She suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to continue this topic, so she said, "Let's go, let's talk while we eat."
In this way, everyone came to the table and chatted while eating.
In the end, everyone decided to pretend that nothing had happened, including Li Mei.
Of course, this is also what her teacher explained at the end of the letter.
Li Mei looked depressed for the next few days, even when she was on blind dates with others.
Naturally, she was often lectured by Sun Xiu.
So she felt even worse.
...
That morning, as soon as Li Xu arrived at the unit, he was stopped by Xiao Jianping.
Seeing his mysterious look, Li Xu was a little puzzled, "Old Xiao, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Xiao Jianping chuckled, pulled him aside, and whispered, "What you said has been resolved."
Li Xu was stunned. "What is it?"
"Find a partner for your elder sister."
"What's the point of this? I don't even know if my eldest sister will approve of it." Li Xu said unhappily, "Besides, this isn't something shameful. You could have just said it right there. Why dragged me here?"
He asked everyone in the car team to help Li Mei find a partner. This was something everyone knew, so there was no need to hide it.
Xiao Jianping shook his head. "It's different. This time it's really shameful."
"What do you mean?"
"This man has to be a live-in son-in-law."
"Ah?" Li Xu exclaimed, then quickly reacted, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is it true?"
"real."
Li Xu urged, "Tell me about his situation."
"This man's name is Yang Dong. His biological father died a few years ago, and his mother remarried with him. His stepfather didn't like him, so in order to save on wedding expenses and monthly food money, he wanted to make him someone else's son-in-law."
After listening to this, Li Xu pondered for a moment and asked again, "He doesn't care?"
"His mother had several children with this man, so why would she care about him anymore?"
"How old is this guy named Yang Dong?"
"22 years old."
"Why didn't his stepfather get him out earlier?"
"Before, he refused to agree, and his stepfather didn't dare to push him too hard. But now his brother is of marriageable age, and there's going to be another person in the family. His stepfather couldn't stand it anymore and told him to either agree or starve to death. He starved for several days and would have died if the neighbors hadn't found him. After this incident, he completely gave up on his family and agreed."
"What does he look like?"
"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He's about 1.75 meters tall, but he's very thin."
"What about your temperament?"
"Why do you even need to ask? If he had a bad temper, do you think he would be alive today? The most important thing is, he's been treated like a nanny since he was a child. He's proficient in housework and childcare. With him around, Sister Mei doesn't have to worry about household chores."
Needless to say, the more Li Xu listened, the more he felt it was appropriate, so he nodded and said, "When can you bring him to my house so that my sister can meet him?"
"The day after tomorrow we'll rest, and I'll bring it to him."
