Chapter 391: It’s up to us peasant children to strive for success, right? [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly pass!]
Maybe it was because he won the bet against Mr. Yu, or maybe he was proud of Zhao Weihong's achievements during this period.
Deputy Chief Wei seemed to be in a good mood and spoke a lot for the first time.
Old Yu just sat there with a smile on his face. When his kind eyes met Zhao Weihong's, he nodded very gently to her.
However, the fisherman's approachable appearance put Zhao Weihong under tremendous pressure, and even made Zhao Weihong, the "living father" who frightened countless people, feel a little panicked and even afraid!
"Old Fisherman, what do you think?"
Throwing the conversation to Mr. Yu, Deputy Chief Wei suddenly stood up and took out a pack of cigarettes from Mr. Yu's pocket with ease.
Zhao Weihong's attention was immediately attracted by Deputy Chief Wei's actions. With a casual glance, she found that the cigarette in Deputy Chief Wei's hand was very different.
The outer packaging of this box of cigarettes does not have the fancy patterns like ordinary cigarettes.
Yes, it is just the simplest white.
Apart from this, there is no decoration on the soft pack cigarette box, not even any text indicating the brand of the cigarette.
"Wow."
The match rubbed against the sandpaper, illuminating Deputy Chief Wei's old face and allowing him to light his cigarette.
However, Deputy Commander Wei was not in a hurry to enjoy this hard-earned pleasant moment. Instead, he put the extinguished matchstick under his nose, took a deep breath, let out a very satisfied sigh, then took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled a large cloud of hazy white mist.
"Commander, didn't we agree to quit smoking?"
As soon as Deputy Chief Wei took a puff, a male medical worker in a white coat strode over from the corner, his tone full of deep dissatisfaction and worry.
"Hey! Xiao Wu! Didn't I tell you I'd give you a day off this afternoon?"
"Why are you still here?"
Caught in the act by medical staff, Deputy Commander Wei scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed like a child who had done something wrong.
But even so, Deputy Commander Wei still couldn't bear to throw away the cigarette in his hand, but instead begged for mercy from the medical staff.
"Xiao Wu, just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"
"Lao Yu is here today, and Wei Hong also came all the way here to spend the New Year with me."
"The old man is happy, can we make an exception?"
After he finished speaking, the nurse did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at Mr. Yu who was silent and just smiling faintly.
As for Zhao Weihong, she was simply ignored by the medical staff.
Only after Mr. Yu nodded did Xiao Wu reluctantly express his opinion.
"All right."
"But Chief, we have to make it clear!"
"This is the only one you can have today. You will only have three cigarettes left after the Chinese New Year. This means you can still have two more."
"If you don't agree, I will report it to Aunt He!"
"Why are you still thinking about complaining?"
After glaring at Xiao Wu, Deputy Chief Wei smiled from the bottom of his heart the next second.
"Okay, okay! As you command!"
After Xiao Wu left the living room quietly, Deputy Chief Wei was just about to have another bite of this rare pastime, so he met the eyes of Zhao Weihong and Yu Lao who were looking at him.
Upon seeing this, Deputy Chief Wei suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly handed the white cigarette and matches in his hand to Mr. Yu.
"What are you looking at! It's not like I won't return it to you!"
"Come on, Wei Hong, have one too."
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong quickly stood up and took the cigarette handed to him by Deputy Chief Wei.
Just as Zhao Weihong was about to take out a lighter from his pocket to light a cigarette.
The next second, the fisherman who had just lit a cigarette narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched the still burning matchstick in front of Zhao Weihong.
Good guy!
Deputy Chief Wei handed over a cigarette, and Mr. Yu lit it!
From a certain perspective, Zhao Weihong can be said to have brought honor to the family!
Seeing this, the flattered Zhao Weihong immediately came over and lit the cigarette with the flickering flames.
As the smoke rose, a mellow aroma spread from Zhao Weihong's throat. And it was not the kind of ordinary cigarettes with added spices, which had a strong "industrial smell" and seemed very artificial.
Instead, it is as refreshing as tea, with a soft and dense taste. When you taste it carefully, you will find a hint of sweetness. Together with the increasingly long-lasting aroma, it lingers in the mouth for a long time, making people feel relaxed and happy, with endless aftertaste.
For a moment, neither the old man nor the young man spoke a word. They just sat there quietly, enjoying this rare and pleasant moment together in the warm afternoon sun in the cold winter.
This was the first time that Deputy Chief Wei smoked in front of Zhao Weihong.
At this moment, Zhao Weihong suddenly realized it belatedly.
It turns out that both Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu are just like ordinary people, with their own likes, dislikes and hobbies.
In private, they would also beg the younger generations who care about them for the chance to smoke a cigarette.
Think about this.
Zhao Weihong, who was originally very nervous, still maintained a serious appearance, but he had become relaxed in his heart.
In front of these two elderly people, Zhao Weihong can be respectful, serious, and even nervous.
But alone, you should not be "afraid."
The cigarette burns out.
Old Yu smiled faintly and finally spoke to Deputy Chief Wei.
"Don't always think about making decisions for young people."
"Each generation has its own ideas. How can it be enough if you think something is good?"
"You still need to ask for the young comrade's personal opinion!"
After criticizing Deputy Chief Wei's "overbearing" style, Old Yu turned his gaze and looked at Zhao Weihong who had already sat down.
"Little comrade, tell me what you think."
"I've read all the stuff you wrote. It's very well written and insightful!"
"I heard that you are a teacher at HKUST? I think this appointment at HKUST is a good one." "Talent should be put to the best use, regardless of age, but only based on ability!"
"Wei Hong. I'll call you that, just like Lao Wei."
Old Yu looked directly at the increasingly excited Zhao Weihong, and asked Zhao Weihong what he thought in a very "equal" tone.
"Do you want to stay in school and continue to delve deeper into the theoretical field in the future?"
"If that's the case, there's no need for Lao Wei's proposal."
"Work hard on your studies and stay in school directly after graduating with a ."
"You can take advantage of this time to learn more about other fields. You don't have to focus on the army!"
"Perhaps in a few years, our country will lose an outstanding military officer, but gain an excellent scientist!"
Different from Deputy Chief Wei.
Mr. Yu’s vision is very broad, so broad that it has begun to allow Zhao Weihong to jump out of the existing "rules and regulations" and look for more unknown possibilities!
Speak realistically.
Zhao Weihong is quite suitable for scientific research.
In Zhao Weihong's dream, his college entrance examination scores were not replaced, and he was very successful in the academic field.
Staying in school, teaching, being selected as a young outstanding scholar, and having my own research institute, everything happened so naturally.
From beginning to end.
Zhao Weihong is an outstanding talent in his field.
Always.
Mr. Yu’s suggestion might be a suitable choice for Zhao Weihong.
But Deputy Chief Wei, who put all his thoughts on the "troops", was not happy after hearing what Mr. Yu said!
"Old Fisherman! What are you talking about?"
"Wei Hong is doing well as a soldier, and you want him to do scientific research?"
"Isn't this just playing the piano nonsense?"
Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu have known each other for decades, so he would not hide his thoughts at all. He even dared to puff out his beard and glare at Mr. Yu!
But Old Yu didn't say a word, still maintaining his calm and kind look, and slowly spoke to Zhao Weihong.
"Wei Hong, what do you think?"
If it was a few years ago, or even a few months ago.
Faced with this problem, Zhao Weihong might really be troubled.
But for Zhao Weihong at this moment, he has already made his own choice.
"Master Yu, I have no intention of leaving the army."
"And after I graduate, I will definitely go to the grassroots level, or to other places where the organization needs me the most."
Originally, Zhao Weihong wanted to explain to Mr. Yu why he made this choice.
However, after hearing these two sentences, Mr. Yu nodded decisively.
"Then Lao Wei's suggestion is very good."
"The future military will be a world of young people and talented people."
“But a bachelor’s degree is a bit low, and a doctorate is too high.”
"Soldiers must be tempered in practice after all."
"If you study hard behind closed doors, away from the front lines and the troops, you will not be a good soldier, let alone a good officer."
"In comparison, a master's degree is neither too high nor too low, just right."
"In your case, there is no need to follow the academic system step by step. That would be a waste of talent."
"Let's do as Lao Wei suggested."
Although Mr. Yu repeatedly emphasized that he is now just a retired old man.
But in the end, this kind old man still exuded an extremely terrifying aura of majesty, and he kept his word!
Perhaps he sensed the atmosphere of the chat, and with the change in Yu Lao's aura, there was a slight change in the tone.
Deputy Chief Wei spoke up immediately and ended the conversation at the right time.
"Since Lao Yu has said so, Wei Hong, you should think carefully about how to arrange your future study plan!"
"As for where you should study for your master's degree, let's not rush. Let's eat first and then talk about it slowly after dinner."
"We need to have a good chat about this. In my opinion, this is called a talent training program specially designed for you!"
After hearing this, Zhao Weihong was terrified and kept declining.
But what Deputy Chief Wei and Mr. Yu had decided together would obviously not change because of Zhao Weihong's attitude.
Even if Zhao Weihong is the person involved, it won’t work!
that's it.
Zhao Weihong decided to pursue a master's degree while studying for a master's degree during his undergraduate years, striving to obtain it upon graduation.
Then, Deputy Chief Wei called his attendant and asked him to take Zhao Weihong to the place where they would be living for the time being to rest for a while and prepare for dinner.
After Zhao Weihong left the living room with firm steps, Deputy Chief Wei immediately spoke to Mr. Yu in a boastful manner.
"How about it?"
"It's up to us, the children of farmers, to strive for excellence, right?"
Looking at Deputy Chief Wei who was proud of it, Old Yu smiled and shook his head.
"You, you, you."
"But you are right. This child will definitely be a talented person who can take on important responsibilities in the future."
"It's just that his character..."
