After the meal, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi gave everyone a glass of juice to clear their stomachs. After a short rest, they put the packaged young bamboo shoots into the five-liang cart and told them to take one portion each.
Next, they returned to the foot of the mountain, and Zhong Yuxiu asked them whether they wanted to go up the mountain to continue their outing or just walk around at the foot of the mountain. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was also nice. The fields were planted with crops, and they were lush and green. Although they were not divided very neatly, it was a rare outdoor scenery.
"Yuxiu, I'll just walk at the foot of the mountain to see if they go up the mountain." Zhong Yuan was the first to speak.
Everyone started talking, but some people wanted to go up the mountain, while some wanted to stay at the foot of the mountain; some people couldn't stand the climbing in the morning and didn't want to continue climbing.
In the end, they split into two groups. Yan Rushan led his men up the mountain, while Zhong Yuxiu stayed with those who remained at the foot of the mountain. Yan Guofeng and his three children also stayed behind. Why did they go up the mountain with their children when they could have stayed at the foot of the mountain? Was that too much?
Zhong Yuxiu was also afraid that the children would cry and look for their mother, but she didn't want to carry them up the mountain again; carrying heavy meat balls would not be easy for anyone.
"Yuxiu, do you know what's on the other side of the mountain?" The group scattered and walked around at the foot of the mountain, trying their best not to trample on the farmers' crops; Zhong Yuan took a walk with Yuxiu. They had a good relationship to begin with, and it was not easy for them to get together. Zhong Yuan cherished the time she spent with her even more.
"I don't know, I've never been there." Looking up at the mountain, it seemed as if he was looking through the entire mountain to the other side.
Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "You seem to be even busier since you graduated. When you were in school, even though your schedule was very tight, we could still see each other sometimes. But now it's not the case anymore. You don't come back to school on weekdays, and I can't see you in the first courtyard anymore."
Perhaps this is the kind of sadness that comes with growing up and taking on responsibilities.
It is not easy to see each other because we are each working separately. No matter how good the relationship is, how close can it be if it becomes increasingly distant?
"I'm busy on weekdays, but I still live my life normally. It's just that there were some changes in my work. I can't say I was busier when I was studying or after graduation." It's just that I changed my position. There are more things to take on, and my free time is naturally squeezed.
In fact, she was not idle at all when she was studying. She had everything she needed to do and even had to return to BGI to teach temporarily. It was only after she took over the Medical Research Institute that BGI did not urge her to go back to continue teaching.
Zhong Yuan sighed softly, the smile on her face not fading. "Growing up, I have more responsibilities, and I've become more sensible. Worries and worries come with it. I still envy my childhood. Although having enough food and warm clothes was a luxury back then, it wasn't as tiring as it is now."
"As we grow up, we will naturally feel tired. Life is spent in constantly solving problems and growing." Although she said this, she felt that the troubles in life were caused by cause and effect.
She is not promoting superstition.
But the world has its own laws of operation, and cause and effect and karma really exist.
Like Wan Yutong, and Wan Xuetang, the adoptive father of the Wan family; they all paid the price for their choices. Wan Xuetang suffered a lot after being demoted, and after Wan Yutong reported her, her good days soon came to an end. Now she is still struggling for life.
If Wan Yutong had not been so stupid and had not reported the Wan father and son, and had lived a good life after the incident and managed her family relationships, with Wan Xuetang and his son around, her life would not have been bad.
The Wan family was reported, their house was ransacked and looted. Even if the government later returned their property to them, it was only the things that were visible. The real good things had been taken away, including the things that were hidden by the Wan family.
Who made Wan Yutong so stupid and vicious? The Wan family father and son did not hide from her where those good things were; losing them was also a necessary process in the cycle of cause and effect.
So, cause and effect really exist.
"Yes! She's grown up, working, and has to support her parents and take care of the weak. There are also people urging her to get married. Yuxiu, why did you get married so early?" But the man she found is first-class, handsome, good at making money, loving his wife, and has a good family background. "I don't even know what kind of person my future partner will be."
"So what's your ideal type?"
Zhong Yuan's expression froze, and her smile faded. "Ideal type?"
"Yes, it's right to choose the right person based on this standard. You have to try marriage to know whether it is good or bad. If it's a good one, you can continue to live it. If it's a bad one, just get divorced." It's funny to say, she didn't think so before. She would rather be single and never agree to get married even if people criticize her.
There were so many people coming to propose marriage and introducing her to other people, but she had no idea about any of them.
"My ideal type!" Zhong Yuan's mind was drawn to this point, and her thoughts involuntarily cleared as she muttered to herself, "My ideal type is good-looking, tall and straight, and considerate and caring. Preferably with a stable job. We can work hard together for our family, for our children, and for both sets of parents."
This is probably what many women think.
Zhong Yuxiu was wondering if there was a suitable man among the men who came today. Zhong Yuan should be 28 years old this year, which is considered an older leftover woman in today's society; but in the future, she would just be a college graduate.
"It's not hard to find people like that." Zhong Yuxiu glanced around at Lin Kai and Cheng Minglang, who were strolling at the foot of the mountain. They hadn't gone up the mountain, while the other three had followed Yan Rushan to accompany the guests. Pointing at the two, she said, "Look, what do they think?"
"The one on the left is Cheng Minglang, and the one on the right is Lin Kai. They have the physiques you require, and they're capable. They're now running a company on their own and making a lot of money every year. And if you can get them to really like you, they'll definitely be considerate and attentive."
Among the brothers, the only one who could meet Zhong Yuan's standards was probably Lin Kai; he was a bit quiet, but very attentive.
Zhong Yuan turned her head to take a look, then quickly turned away, "We are not suitable."
"Why aren't they suitable? You're a top student at a medical university, and they're not even university graduates. It's just that academic qualifications aren't the only thing that determines one's life." Zhong Yuxiu actually thought she and Lin Kai were a good match. "You're an independent woman, and you're not afraid of a bad relationship in the future. A woman who can support herself is never afraid of anything."
Equality between men and women is the greatest confidence for both sides; they have the right to fair competition and the right to pursue their own happiness. It is precisely because of this that they have the confidence to live independently in society.
"They have a good family background, right? I see they have a good relationship with your husband. I don't know all about your husband's background, but I do know a little bit about him. The fact that they have such a good relationship means their family background is not much worse than your husband's."
