Veterinarian: From unemployment to the top of life

Meijuan had already revealed some of my family background to her parents: it was a sensitive matter, and I was the illegitimate son of a senior leader.

Therefore, when Meijuan's mother asked me questions, she deliberately avoided related topics.

But Meijuan’s father was more “straightforward” and asked directly, which made me very embarrassed!

Meijuan's mother also frowned and winked at her old man to express her dissatisfaction.

But Meijuan's father completely ignored it.

"Uh...sort of," I replied awkwardly.

"Is your sister the mayor of Haicheng?" Old Sun continued to ask.

"Uh... yeah!" I nodded.

Glancing secretly, Old Sun's expression became even more stern.

After he read my face, he said, "In principle, I don't really agree with your marriage. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate. I just think that there is too big a difference in age between you. You are 7-8 years younger than her..."

Meijuan couldn't stand it anymore after hearing him say that!

"Dad, what do you mean? Why are you telling this to others?" Meijuan stood up angrily.

Her father gave her a surprised look!

I can feel that from her father's perspective: his little daughter is the most well-behaved and sensible, and never talks back. It was really unexpected that she dared to show her anger to him today!

I quickly frowned and said to Meijuan: "Meijuan, uncle is talking to me, please don't interrupt, okay?"

My words have always been extremely intimidating to Meijuan.

Meijuan immediately stopped saying anything, but still sat on the sofa, breathing heavily.

I said with gentle authority, "Juanzi, how about... you go sit inside for a while so that I can have a good chat with my uncle?"

Meijuan didn't dare to disobey the "imperial decree", and the eldest brother unwillingly picked up the pillow and went into the room.

Meijuan's mother watched the whole process and gave me a look of appreciation and approval.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. I can feel that this old lady is very satisfied with me!

Although I have never been liked by my father-in-law, my mother-in-law has always been very nice to me.

Even someone as treacherous as Cui Jinai praised me before she died...and agreed that Xinlin and I could be together.

Sister Sun once said that Meijuan is a very powerful person and not easy to control!

But her mother must have also seen that her daughter really likes me, so she is as obedient as a little lamb.

After Meijuan entered the room, her father adjusted his glasses and calmed down. He stopped asking questions about the situation between Meijuan and me and changed the subject to ask, "Do you like reading?"

"I love reading!" I answered, "When I was interning at a pig farm, I read books every day when I was bored!"

"Oh, what kind of books do you like to read?" her father continued to ask.

I answered: "I like to read all kinds of philosophy, Eastern and Western philosophy, history, military affairs, and literature..."

After hearing what I said, Old Sun's expression eased a little, and he continued to ask, "Then tell me, is the Confucian idea of ​​protecting one's relatives right?"

The question asked by this old man was very tricky. I knew he was hinting at something...

Since he is a big leader, he actually has an illegitimate child. How can this person have good character?

As his son, what do you think about the issue of "protecting one's relatives"?

There is a hidden meaning here: Will your family suffer misfortune one day and implicate my daughter?

If the answer is right or wrong, you will fall into his logical trap.

I frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Uncle, this is actually a misunderstanding. The so-called concealment of relatives is just a distorted interpretation of Confucius' original intention by the Confucianists after the Han Dynasty who were ignorant and unskilled..."

I told him the whole story and let him make his own judgment.

In fact, the origin of this incident was that Confucius and Ye Gong were chatting about a son in the State of Chu who reported his father.

This Ye Gong is the "Ye Gong" in the story of Ye Gong who loves dragons.

This guy was doing well in the State of Chu and became the CEO. After meeting Confucius, he boasted about how good his rule was and how everyone was upright. If a father stole a sheep, the son would report him.

But Confucius thought that this son must not be a good person.

After that, the saying "protecting one's relatives against one's own faults" was passed down and became a crime of shielding that could be forgiven in all feudal dynasties.

However, in reality, this is a case of only knowing one side of the story, just like the stupid director who went to Hanlong and gave blind orders, ordering the ultraviolet lights to be turned on during the day.

There was a historical background to what Confucius said at that time: During the Spring and Autumn Period, the punishment in the State of Chu was the heaviest and most inhumane. It was a completely evil law. If a son reported his father for stealing a sheep, the father would undoubtedly be put to death.

If it had been a different approach, where the father had returned the sheep, this tragedy could have been avoided entirely, and there would have been no need for her own father to die.

Confucius meant to mock Ye Gong for his inability to govern the country and his abuse of harsh laws, but the fools focused on "protecting one's relatives."

Therefore, this statement itself is wrong. There has never been any such thing as 'protecting one's relatives from each other'. There is only 'a monk with a crooked mouth cannot read the true scriptures'.

My explanation shocked Old Sun so much that he asked me several questions in a row. I answered them all fluently and did not fall into the logical traps he set for me.

For example, the topic of “being filial to the elderly”.

Everyone knows that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and that the worst is to have no descendants, but they know nothing about the first two.

Mencius mentioned the three unfilial acts, and the headline on the front page is: to flatter and obey, and to put one's relatives in an unjust position.

In other words, when parents do something wrong, you never correct them but just blindly obey them, letting them fall into unkindness and injustice. This is the first kind of unfilial behavior.

For example, a wicked mother-in-law bullies her daughter-in-law every day, and all the neighbors know that the old lady is a beast, but the son listens to his mother in the name of filial piety. This is actually the number one unfilial act in Mencius's words.

Because you let everyone in the neighborhood know that your mother is a beast, and you let her continue on the beastly path...making her the object of everyone's hatred and the laughing stock.

So, in the final analysis, it is all because of lack of knowledge and ignorance!

Confucianism has been distorted too much by later generations, so it has borne too much infamy.

If men want to get along harmoniously, it is important to have common topics.

The topic can be about women, sex skills, people you both hate, or even drinking and smoking, condom sizes, and comfort levels.

In short, as long as the two frequencies are "matched", they will become more and more harmonious.

The knowledge I have mastered cannot be acquired by reading one or two books, nor can it be taught by a teacher, because most of the teachers are just idiots who live for free!

You must calm down, read a lot, think and summarize, then you can accumulate something real.

I can talk about management with Li Jianglong, about wives with Wu Yinfei, about people's livelihood with Song Haiyun, about art with Wu Xinlin, about finance with Liao Ruxue, and about mathematics with Lin Pingping...

In short, a successful man must be diverse, and not every fool can sit in the position of general manager.

Only by continuous learning can you maintain the corresponding role in society.

A great guy can play with women and study at the same time, but many people only pay attention to when he is playing with women and don’t pay attention to when he is studying.

They don't play with women, they are honest and not scumbags at all, but they don't study either, they just muddle through the day, so they can only endure all kinds of "sexual repression" in their lives.

Because we had a common language, Meijuan's father and I became more and more engaged in the conversation, and our conversation became more and more harmonious.

It can be seen that this old man likes people with ideas, rather than those playboys who have money but no ideas.

Later, Lian Meijuan's mother joined in and discussed Russian mathematics with me.

I said why the science of the former Soviet Union was so awesome, it was because the king of mathematics in the 18th century, Euler, came to St. Petersburg from Prussia at the invitation of Catherine II and laid the foundation for the prosperity of Russian mathematics. This is why there were so many awesome "Nov" and "Ski" later.

This is what an intellectual family is like...

You have to talk about what people like to talk about.

Meijuan's parents really don't care about money, but the son-in-law must deal with their tempers and cannot be like Wu Yinfei or Liao Wei.

"Xiao Song, how long do you plan to take?" Old Sun asked with a smile. After spending an afternoon getting to know me, he already had a very good impression of me.

I said: "As soon as possible, the sooner the better..."

"I heard that you are the real boss behind the company that Meijuan is running now?" Old Sun looked at me meaningfully and asked.

"You can't say that," I replied with a smile, "Meijuan is the boss, I'm just assisting her..."

As soon as I finished speaking, my cell phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Mr. Mei calling me...
