Chapter 241 The hero’s blood is boiling
Central Plains Province, Pingshan City.
Xu Jiaying sat in front of the sofa, the teacup in his hand frozen there, looking straight at the TV.
What was playing on the TV was Xia Chuan singing "Sea Breaker" on that simple open-air stage.
He concluded that it was an absolutely impromptu singing, with no trace of rehearsal, not even a band. As for the soundtrack, in Xu Jiaying's opinion, it could only be a post-production.
Xia Chuan used his passionate and passionate shouts to encourage the sea-crossing people to work hard, full of deep sympathy.
The weeds in Xu Jiaying's heart are growing wildly.
He worked as the workshop director of a steelmaking plant for seven years, won six awards from the Ministry of Metallurgy, and filmed feature films, but no matter how good he was, he could not get a promotion.
This system makes him more and more disappointed. It doesn't give you a chance to display your huge ambitions.
He had the urge to smash it all and start over.
At this time, his wife Yumei came out, glanced at the TV, sat next to him and said:
"Why are you so dazed? Don't think about the steel mill on Sunday. Take your children out to play."
She is a very virtuous person. If her husband is happy, she will never let him do anything.But when her husband was worried, she would find something for him to do, so that he would not be depressed all the time and hurt his health.
When Xu Jiaying came to his senses, the TV had changed to an advertisement. He didn't explain, he just asked:
"Yumei, if I resign and go to sea, will you support me?"
Yumei was frightened, her heart was beating fast, and she said after a minute:
"Do you think our life is too stable? Although we are not rich, we are better than the worst. The child is only six years old. If you quit your job and make money, what will you do if you lose?"
Xu Jiaying began to count in his mind, and he could not speak until he counted to sixty.
This is a common habit between the two of them. If they have different opinions, talk about it after a minute. This way, they can always stay calm and avoid many unnecessary quarrels.
Therefore, although the two have gone through countless ups and downs hand in hand, and although they have also quarreled, their feelings have never been hurt.
"Yumei, if I stay in the steel factory, I will only be the workshop director for the rest of my life and will never have a chance to be promoted. Because I can't flatter, don't know how to bribe and I don't have the money to do so, I can only die of frustration.
If this is the case for everyone, I have no other ideas.
However, the times are changing dramatically, just like a giant ship roaring forward, the noise is as harsh and startling as the Charge. Are we just going to wait and see like this for the rest of our lives?Look at Xia Chuan, he just graduated from high school and activated his hero blood because of the pressure of life.
What man doesn’t dream of being a hero?
I am content with being mediocre here today, just because I can still eat and my salary is higher than most people.But compared to the idiot Nian Guangjiu, a man who can only write five characters, how can I, a first-generation college student after the resumption of the college entrance examination, be reconciled? "
Yumei held it in for ten seconds before she couldn't help but said angrily: "You envy someone who married four college students, don't you?"
Xu Jiaying trembled all over and almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood into the sky. He endured it for five seconds and said angrily: "I'm telling you something serious, can you be more serious?"
Yumei's head became hot and she slapped the coffee table: "Why am I not serious? If you have money, you are a hero? Just tell me what you are going to do with all the money you make!"
"I..." Xu Jiaying almost continued to argue, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. The money hadn't been earned yet. What a quarrel.
He decided to divert his attention first to calm his wife's resistance, and pointed at the TV:
"Did you see that ad?"
Yumei turned around and saw that an advertisement for Lenovo Group was playing on the TV, accompanied by the powerful voice-over: "What will happen to human beings if we lose Lenovo?"
"What do you mean, do you think beauty is still reasonable?" Yumei asked back.
Xu Jiaying smiled helplessly and sighed:
"Yumei, you actually trust me, but you just don't want me to go to the sea. Because you have a fear of uncertain things, or going to the sea will make you lose your sense of security. But can a job without risk really lead to a safe life? ?
I don’t know how to reform state-owned enterprises.
But I know there will be a lot of layoffs.What is a market economy?It is free competition and survival of the fittest.There must be free competition in any industry, any field, anything, or any occupation.This is the general direction of reform.
I don't know if I'll be laid off, but you're certainly in danger, and that day isn't far away.
Suppose you are laid off now and only rely on my salary. Your children have to go to school and the expenses are getting higher and higher. How difficult our life must be. Will you still be so content with poverty? "
Yumei thought about it seriously and shuddered.
After a minute, he said blankly: "Jia Ying, we have been here for so many years, and I have never stopped you. Although I object to some things, the decision-making power is yours. As long as you accept it, I will accept your fate." ”
Xu Jiaying was speechless for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart. His wife had no confidence at all, but she was willing to live and die with him.
"How much savings does your family have?" Xu Jiaying finally said the most difficult sentence.
Yumei shuddered, that was the guarantee of life. She turned around in pain and went into the bedroom. She quickly took a bankbook and handed it to her husband. Then she sat on the broken sofa with a straight face and said nothing.
Xu Jiaying took the heavy bankbook and slowly opened it. Inside was all the savings the two had accumulated for seven years of marriage, only more than 3000 yuan.
He closed the bankbook and said softly: "Take out one thousand and fifty."
Yumei was stunned for a moment, what is one thousand and five dollars enough for?
"Aren't you in business?"
"No. I'm going to the island and I have to get there as soon as possible."
"why?"
"Xia Chuan is there. I want to find him. He will definitely need someone when he arrives."
"He needs you to make steel?"
Xu Jiaying smiled and said, "Yumei, everything in this world is done by people. What others can do, I can do too. Of course he can't go to that corner to make steel. Building a house is almost the same, but He needs management talent, right?”
"Isn't this the same as changing a job?"
"It's different. If he reuses me, he will give me a high salary. If he doesn't reuse me, I will have a place to stay and look for opportunities to start my own company."
"What if he doesn't use you at all and you can't find a job?"
Xu Jiaying suddenly smiled: "Yumei, those who watch the sky can't sow, and those who watch the clouds can't harvest. We just need to work hard towards a good place, work hard, and leave the rest to fate."
Yumei's eyes were blurred with tears, and she asked with a choked voice, "When are you leaving?"
"Go to the airport now!" Xu Jiaying's eyes were as bright as lightning. He found that once he made up his mind, the torch would burn and he could not calm down for a second.
Finally breaking away from this ordinary and oppressive life, he felt that his heroic blood was boiling. This feeling was so wonderful.
In this life of a man, he either lights up the whole world, or he burns and perishes.
