8 PM, Jiangshan Dormitory. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. The quiet dormitory was shocked by the sudden ringtone. Jiang Shan was shocked. As Jiang Shan was focused on reading, he was the only one in the dormitory. Li Feng was still working overtime. Seeing that the caller ID was his boss, Jiang Shan picked up the phone and greeted him in his hometown dialect.
At this stage, Jiang Shan would call his family every two to three days. Father Jiang asked Jiang Shan in his hometown dialect if he had worked overtime today. Jiang Shan was busy with work. Now, Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, Brother Jiang Shan, and sister-in-law knew about it. Although they said that Jiang Shan should rest well and not tire himself out. However, in private, Father Jiang said that it was good to be busy. It would be dangerous if he wasn't busy with work. Only a company that was busy every day had a future. At this point, Mother Jiang even laughed at Father Jiang as if he had a lot of work experience. Mr. Jiang retorted. He was a small self-employed person. He worked so hard every day and did not eat idle food every day. He could still understand some principles.
"What a coincidence," Jiang Shan said."Tonight is the only night I haven't worked overtime this week.”At this moment, Jiang Shan heard his mother calling his father for dinner. "Why haven't you eaten at this time?" Jiang Shan asked.”Jiang Shan found himself ridiculous. He knew his parents 'working environment. They had three meals a day. Other than waking up at five or six in the morning and eating breakfast, the other two meals were basically not fixed. When they ate depended on the work at hand.
" Shanzi, hurry up and tell your dad," Mother Jiang said." Every time it's mealtime now, you have to urge him to eat." Every time, he would say,"Let's do it a little longer." Now that the weather was cold, the food would get cold easily and they would have to re-heat it. The key was that it was not healthy. I see that he's working even harder than he was playing mahjong back then.”
When Mr. Jiang was young, he was obsessed with mahjong for a period of time. Mr. Jiang was an ambitious man. Back then, in order to quit gambling, he even swore that he would cut off his own fingers if he played mahjong again. Although he still played occasionally, he soon had a career and stopped playing. This part of history could be considered Father Jiang's dark history and Mother Jiang's trump card. She could use it to remind Father Jiang whether she was happy or not. All these years, although Father Jiang had heard about this matter until his ears had calluses, he had never explained or retorted. Jiangshan's sister-in-law had always said that her father had a good personality. However, in Jiang Shan's impression, his father was a soldier and had a strong personality. Why did he suddenly become so docile?
How could Jiang Shan not know about his father's problem? Sometimes, he was not like this. He remembered that he was working in Shanghai during the winter vacation. Sometimes, he would send messages outside at noon. When he was busy, he would skip lunch. Jiang Shan was still habitually advising his father to eat normally. It was the foundation of maintaining health.
"Son, you don't know how much more money you can earn if you work a little longer. Earning more in a day would accumulate over time. Who knew when someone would encounter special circumstances, such as a serious illness or buying a house.”Mother Jiang said," Listen, listen. Your father is a money-grubber now. When business is good and he earns money, he will hum a tune. If you can't earn money, you'll look sad."
Jiang Shan tried to reason with his father." Dad, it's not wrong to make money. However, it's not worth it if you sacrifice your health to make money.”"Son, you still don't understand. This is how society is. When you have the chance to earn money, you have to earn it crazily. Because there would be many times when there was no chance to make money. At that time, you wouldn't be able to make money even if you wanted to. Regarding this topic, didn't we exchange it before? There aren't many opportunities to make money in life.”
Jiang Shan didn't know when it started, but there was a clear boundary between who he talked to and what he talked about at home. For example, Jiang Shan would talk to his mother and brother about some family matters, especially about the relatives in his hometown. Jiang Shan would talk to his father about the philosophy of life and his understanding of life. Actually, Father Jiang felt the same way. In the past few years, he had only talked about the cultivation of human nature and the value of life to Jiang Shan at home. During this process, Father Jiang could clearly feel that Jiangshan was growing very quickly. He remembered that when he graduated from university, Jiang Shan only sent a box of books and notes back to his hometown. Most of them were given away.
Jiang Shan said," That's true, but when it comes to health, making money is secondary. Didn't you always say that the body is the capital of revolution?”"Son, do you know how much I earned today?" Mr. Jiang asked mysteriously.”Jiang Shan thought to himself that he had earned more than usual today. He casually said,""A thousand." "Guess bigger," said Father Jiang.”"Three thousand?" "That's not right. I told you that your mother and I earned nearly 5,000 yuan today."”
Jiang Shan was also shocked when he heard this number. He subconsciously said,""It can't be. It's so amazing. If only I could stabilize this income every day.”Father Jiang said," I'm just trying to solve the problem of supply. There's no other way. We came late, so we can't compare to those who have been doing business for many years. They already have a lot of old customers, so we have to pry food out of their mouths. Right now, it was in short supply.”Jiang Shan said," Dad, you can't suffer anymore at your age. Also, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health. It's very important to eat on time. Don't take it to heart." Business and money have to be taken slowly. If you have the right idea and the right way, it will definitely get better.”
Father Jiang said," This bit of hardship is nothing. Do you still remember when you were young? We worked in the fields much harder and more tiring than this. The key was that no matter how hard it was back then, we didn't have the chance to earn money. Now, it was good enough that he could earn more money by working harder. Oh, by the way, Shanzi, how's your work recently? Such a good company, you must cherish the opportunity and work hard in it. When I was young, it was too late for me to understand this.”
Jiang Shan originally wanted to tell his father about Zhang Wei's resignation, but when he heard his father say this on the phone, he swallowed his words. Jiang Shan said," Dad, I understand. I won't bother you guys anymore. You guys should hurry up and eat."”Then, Mother Jiang gave Jiang Shan a warm reminder, reminding him to pay attention to eating, covering himself with a blanket, sleeping early at night, and so on. Jiang Shan agreed one by one.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shan thought to himself," Everyone says that this year's financial crisis is not good for business. It seems that there is no negative impact in the country except for the real estate industry." Whether it was his company or his father's business, they were all doing very well. It seemed that the good and bad effects of the environment were also divided into different regions and industries.
