Sure enough, Zhou Ping took a bite of food, but he didn't eat it. After a long time, he put down his chopsticks and said, "later, nothing happened. Later, my father was not in good health. When he went shopping in the town, he was hit by a motorcycle. At that time, there was no monitoring, and he couldn't find the culprit. What could he do? He thought he had bad luck and lay in the hospital for three months, I borrowed all the relatives and friends that I could borrow from my family. I saved my life, but it's impossible to stand up. I don't want to do the work on the ship.
"Our family's conditions were OK, OK, really, at least we didn't have to worry about food and drink. My father couldn't move. My mother couldn't take care of such a big barge by herself, so she sold the boat and went back home to open a grocery store. Since then, our family has never touched a boat again."
"Oh..."
It's the first time Li yaosan heard Zhou Ping mention his father's body, and they don't know how to comfort the eldest.
"It's OK. It's all over. Isn't it better now?"
Zhou Ping laughed and said, "it was really hard in the first few years. It was really hard to have no money. At that time, I was about thirteen or fourteen years old. I thought I would not go to school at all and go out to work to help my family. As a result, my mother hit me like crazy. She had to ask me to go to school. She said that this was the only way out for our family. Well, the only way out.
"In fact, I'm not smart. You can see that I'm not really a" Xueba ", and I haven't studied very well since I was a child. I'm not interested in anything except the things on the ship. I'm not the material to study at all.
"However, every time I see a book and my skull starts to hurt, my mind will come up with the picture of my mother beating me while crying. Alas, when I think of this, I can't help it.
"Later, what later? Later, I was admitted to our school. Although I wasted a few years more than others, I still have a solid foundation, and now I have found a job. Just now I called back to report my good news to my parents and siblings. They haven't been so happy for many years. I'm very happy to see them happy, really, really!"
"Then you --"
Zhao Kai drank a little too much and asked, "don't want to be the captain of an aircraft carrier?"
"That's a child's wishful thinking. How can it be?"
Zhou Ping grinned. "I don't know how to say it. Anyway, since I put all my heart on my study and haven't touched a boat for many years, the feeling or spirituality on me gradually disappeared.
"Gradually, I seldom have messy dreams about spaceships, and I seldom think about star wars, star sea jumping and other boring things. Sometimes when I pass by the river, I feel very strange to hear the" sudden "sound from the ship. In just a few years, it's as long as decades or hundreds of years. It's really like I'm a stranger."
"It's normal."
Yu Xin said, "everyone used to have this feeling - growing up! By the way, later you didn't want to go to a shipping school or something? "
"No
Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "you can't be a captain as soon as you graduate from such a school. It's not necessary to start from the bottom. Even if the salary for going to sea is higher, it's normal not to go home for a year and a half. My father is like this. My mother is getting older, and she is suffering from all kinds of diseases. She refuses to push her to the hospital. If I'm not at home all the year round, it's even worse.
"So, the dream of my youth is like this. Hehe, how can it be possible to return an aircraft carrier? Even if my dad wasn't hit by a motorcycle, I can't be the captain of an aircraft carrier. It's all children's imagination, right? I couldn't have been captain, could I?
"In a word, this job is now located in the capital of our province. Everything is OK. I often have the opportunity to go home. If I work hard again, I may be able to buy a suite in the capital and take over my parents. This is my biggest dream now."
"Not bad!"
Li Yao, Yu Xin and Zhao Kai gave Zhou Ping a thumbs up: "you are ambitious, boss. It's more difficult to buy a suite in the provincial capital than to be the captain of an aircraft carrier or even a spaceship. You are really an investment tycoon and a financial tycoon!"
All four of them laughed for a moment.
"Dadu said that. Let me also talk about my childhood dream."
Zhao Kai burped his wine and said, "I've actually had the vivid dream that the boss said. It's true. It's not nonsense on the wine table, but I forgot what cartoon was hooked up. It may not be cartoon, it's something else.
"In a word, when I was a child, I had many strange and colorful dreams. In the dream, I seemed to be an explorer. I didn't even know the role of special forces. I didn't even look like a human, but I had four arms and a tail. Then I was in all kinds of extremely harsh and dangerous environments, such as jungle, cliff, Volcanoes, lava and other places, running like crazy, there are many vicious alien monsters chasing me.
"I thought, if people really have a previous life, then my previous life is probably a strengthened super special forces, going out all day long to take risks, scout and fight. Ha ha, isn't it exciting?
"Then, influenced by these strange dreams, I was very lively and active since I was a child. I couldn't sit down for a second. My parents and teachers all said that I had a needle on my buttock, and I would prick it as soon as I sat down.
"I just like physical education, or after school, I go out to run all over the street, climb trees, climb buildings or something. Once, my parents didn't even know about it. Once, I fell from a tree more than ten meters high. It was really more than ten meters, at least three or four stories high. Guess what, I seemed to wake up in mid air, At once, I saw all the bones and muscles in my body. I adjusted my posture like a cat in mid air, and fell lightly and skillfully. Except for sprain feet, nothing happened.
Li yaosan exclaimed in surprise.
However, Zhao Kai's physical quality is really good. The people who usually stay in the dormitory to read novels do very well in sports. Moreover, he has long hands and feet, but his trunk is not clumsy at all. He is like a big spider.
"Well, if I had been born ten or twenty years later, I would have known that I would have been a Parkour athlete or a rock climber or an explorer in my life."
Zhao Kai sighed, "at that time, we didn't know these professions. We only knew gymnasts."
"It's good to be a gymnast, too."
Yu Xin said, "your athletic talent is so powerful, didn't you try it?"
"But a gymnastic coach came to our primary school to pick a good seedling, and he also took a fancy to me."
Zhao Kai said, "do you think my parents can agree? Gymnastics this bowl of rice where is so delicious, take the champion of course scenery, can't take the champion, injured, practice not up or down, how to do in the future? So, you'd better study honestly. Later, more and more books will be read. Our school's physical education class has changed a lot. After school, we don't have time to climb trees and run all over the street. As the boss said, there are fewer and fewer strange dreams of adventure on other planets, and the "spirituality" will be gone
"Yes, it's not easy to do sports."
Yu Xin thought, "do you like gymnastics, rock climbing or Parkour?"
Zhao Kai raised his head, poured down half a bottle of beer, rubbed his eyes with a wet towel for a long time, and said, "is it important?"
"Also, ha ha ha, although childhood dreams are interesting, people always have to grow up and face reality!"
Yu Xin said with a smile, "when I was a child, I also had dreams. I often dreamed of many colorful paintings. Some of them were even as big as a whole planet. I thought I had artistic cells. In my last life, I was a world-renowned artist. My paintings even had various abilities. Oh, how can I feel shame to say that!
"In short, I didn't know until I grew up. When I was a child, every child thought that they were unique. They thought that when they came to this world, they always had a special mission. They had countless messy and colorful dreams. When they grew up, they found that they were nothing special, What I do is a daydream that can't be realized. At this time, I'm really mature! "
"Yes, everyone is the same, everyone is the same."
Zhao Kai murmured, "well, we didn't talk about Li Yao's reading novels in the beginning. How did we talk about the bullshit" dream "and" growth "? In a word, you know what we mean, Li Yao. You've all experienced your state, but you have to get rid of it. Don't indulge in these nonsense network novels! "
"That's right, Li Yao. Everyone cares about you."
Zhou Ping said sincerely, "if there's anything wrong, just tell your brothers, we'll accompany you to see what's uncomfortable. Don't always be alone in the world of novels. Novels are all fake, fabricated and meaningless. The real life in front of you is real, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yao nodded hard and felt like this, "brothers, I know what I mean. I was a little bit wrong in the past. But today, after drinking and chatting, I feel that I'm ok. Really, I know how good it is. Thank you for your enlightenment. I really can't daydream any more."
"It's all my brothers. Don't talk about it. It's not as serious as you said."
Yu Xin said with a smile, "again, it's really true these days. When we were young, our dreams were colorful and blooming. When we grow up, we want to be a captain, an artist, an athlete and a scientist. When we grow up, all of us have only one dream to make money!"
"Yeah, it's boring."
Zhao Kai said, "otherwise, you can help me realize my dream. I'll make money. Will you be a gymnast?"
"Fart."
Yu Xin said, "why don't I make money? You help me realize my dream of becoming an artist, and by the way, you also become the captain of the eldest aircraft carrier?"
"So it's better to make money first, make money the most, long live the money!"
Zhao Kai was completely drunk. He leaned back in his chair and danced, "what a fuckin 'dream! Go to hell!"
That night, four people in dormitory 610 were drunk.
Anyway, just like all the college students who had dinner together, they hugged each other and said a lot, cried many times and laughed many times. They mentioned money, dreams and women, career, ambition and love, made countless unrealistic promises and made countless bold words that they would forget in the morning.
Finally, the four supported each other and stumbled out.
Li Yao was blown by the breeze at the door of the fly restaurant. He woke up a little, and there were one or two colorful bubbles in his mind.
"Boss, you go first."
Li Yao said to Zhou Ping, who was still a little sober, "I want to blow the wind and wake up."
In fact, Zhou Ping didn't have the consciousness to speak. He waved to him and left with Yu Xin and Zhao Kai.
"Boss!"
Li Yao suddenly called out, "where's your exercise book?"
Zhou Ping stops.
"What exercise book?"
He looked back suspiciously.
"That's what you said, the exercise book full of space warships, the exercise book of your childhood."
Li Yao did not know why he suddenly asked such a question.
"I don't know."
Zhou Ping was indifferent and thought straight for a long time. Then he thought of what Li Yao asked, "maybe when I sold the barge, I fell into the water, or I burned it myself, so long, who knows!"
"Do you remember how the spaceship was painted?"
"It's the spaceship that appears in your dream," Li said
"I haven't had that dream for a long time."
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Ping couldn't remember when he had that kind of dream last time. He could only say, "it's been a long time."
He waved hard. He didn't know whether he was driving away Li Yao or something that came out of his soul. He walked into the black and white light and shadow reflected by the street lamp.
