When Uncle Li saw me staring at him, he laughed at me and said two words,
"secular!"
I was stunned, because I didn't understand his meaning, so my face was full of doubts for a moment.
"You can imagine that if someone comes to my study, do you think it's strange to see it empty or as strange as it is now?"
Li shuchao laughed at me again and continued.
"If we only talk about these two situations, I think it's more strange to be empty."
Although I didn't know what Uncle Li wanted to tell me, I answered honestly after thinking about it.
"Yes, it's called secularity. Although at my age, there are many things that should be taken care of, these two words can't be avoided. Just like when you just came in, you would not feel strange except surprised. But if I didn't put these books, you would wonder why I did it, and some strange ideas would follow in my heart. ”
Uncle Li nodded to me and explained.
Although I still wonder why he said this to me at the moment, I understand the secular meaning of what he said.
As Uncle Li said, although he is so rich and highly respected, there are some worldly things he can't avoid. Let's talk about family reunion without talking about the study. We know that ye Chaofan and I don't really want to be his chair adoptive daughter, but he still wants such a form.
I used to wonder why Uncle Li did it, but now I understand why when I hear these two words.
"Li Shugang just came to see me. I don't think he just told me this. Although you said that the secular world is very helpless, I think we are all laymen. Why should we regard ourselves as noble and avoid the secular world? After all, no one in the world can really break away from the secular world. Even if there is, I will not find his life interesting, let alone happy. "
Although I was surprised that Uncle Li said this to me, in the end I denied his point of view.
After all, the secular thing has always existed, so why do you have to do it.
Although I know it may be a bit bold to say these words, I feel that way, so I don't think uncle Li will blame me because he treats me as a friend. If I am polite all the time, I will be stingy.
"It's true that people can't live without the secular world. I'm not looking for you today to tell you the truth, but to know that you have doubts in your heart, so I'm helping you to solve your doubts. Now I'll give you a chance. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Uncle Li gave me a look of appreciation and asked me at the same time.
Although I had a lot of questions and anxieties before I came here, with the development of the airport, I am not in a hurry now.
But don't worry, don't worry, I have to ask the things, so think of this, I directly opened up.
"Two questions. One is that I asked you on the phone before. Why did you choose me? As for the second question, I'll decide whether to ask it or not after listening to your answer. "
When Uncle Li heard me ask, he didn't look surprised. He just laughed at me and invited me to sit down on the sofa.
I didn't refuse his request. I went there directly. Uncle Li saw that I didn't mean to be formal. He once again praised me and said, "I don't know whether you believe it or not. From the first time I saw you, I knew that we had a destiny in this life. So later I politely treated you and the idea of making you an adopted son came out."
Although I feel normal about this answer, I still shake my head because the answer is too vague.
"Although you are not perfunctory, Uncle Li, I think there should be other reasons."
"You're right. There are other reasons for this, but it's a bit shocking. I don't know if you can accept it or believe it."
Uncle Li looked at me kindly and said mysteriously.
Although I don't know what he said, I don't think there is anything more shocking than my power in the world. After all, this power really belongs to the super cheater. Of course, what surprised me more was the old man I met.
After all, because of him, I had powers later, which saved me from danger again and again.
So after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't think that there was anything more shocking than this.
"Although I don't believe anything other than science at all, I won't totally refuse some things, so you can say it, Uncle Li, because I'm really curious about the reasons."
Hearing what I said, Uncle Li looked at me in surprise and said slowly.
"It started 30 years ago. At that time, like you now, I didn't believe that luck could dominate everything in the world. But later, when I met a beggar, he told me that as long as I was willing to give him a full meal, he could give me luck all my life. My luck really changed."
"What? beggar? What kind of beggar? "When I heard Uncle Li's words, I was shocked and asked nervously.
"I can't remember his appearance clearly. Anyway, he is very old and broken. At that time, I called him old man when I met him. But what surprised me was that although he looked old, he gave me a strong feeling, so I was very strange at that time."
Uncle Li looked at me in surprise and explained.
Although I don't know if I was surprised to see anything from Uncle Li just now, I understand that I can't continue to ask this topic, because I suddenly thought of one thing. If the beggar I met with Uncle Li was the same person as I expected, how old is the beggar now?
Even if they are not 100 years old, they are at least 80 or 90 years old.
It's because I think of this that I don't think it's possible. After all, when I saw this beggar, he was not so old, so I decided to change the topic immediately for fear that Uncle Li might doubt me.
After all, some things, or do not easily come to a conclusion, after listening to say.
"And then?"
"Later I promised him, but at the beginning I didn't believe it. In order to make me believe it, the beggar told me to add ten minutes of luck to me, and then let me go to the roadside gambling place to try. At the beginning, I didn't believe it and didn't want to go, but at that time I was eager for wealth, so I couldn't help temptation."
When Uncle Li heard my question, he continued to answer.
"The result."
I looked at Uncle Li and asked nervously, because I knew that the result should be that what the beggar said was true.
"You must have guessed that in that short ten minutes, my luck was really against the sky. I not only doubled the money in my pocket, but also was suspected by the banker. However, because of my lack of greed, I lost all the money in my pocket after I ran out of luck. The banker was relieved that I left."
Uncle Li was embarrassed when he said this, but he was more fortunate.
"So you went back to the beggar? And believed him? "
I was surprised, because I didn't expect that there was such a ridiculous thing, so I'm looking forward to the next story.
"Yes, I did go back to him, but he told me that I couldn't help him, because my greed ran out of money to invite him to dinner, so he was going to leave. Seeing that he was going to leave, I naturally refused, so he finally gave me another chance at my request."
"What chance?"
"The chance is that if I can raise ninety-nine yuan in half an hour to invite him to dinner, he will promise to help me."
Uncle Li recalled for a while and continued.
"Ninety nine dollars? Or 30 years ago? I don't think it's forced. Uncle Li, you didn't have so much money at that time, so how did you do it later? "
I was surprised because it raised a practical question.
Although 100 yuan is much faster than 99 yuan for now, if the round value, the 99 yuan at that time should be an astronomical figure for the poor Uncle Li, so at this moment I am very curious about how he did it.
"You're right. In my time, although I couldn't claim more money, it was a huge difficulty for me at that time, because even before I gambled and didn't count money, I didn't have so much money on me, so I was worried at that time, and then I thought of borrowing it."
Uncle Li nodded and replied.
"Borrow? In the end, did you borrow your money? "
I was surprised because I didn't expect that Uncle Li could borrow so much money at that time.
"Although I didn't borrow the money, it was similar to what I borrowed, but when the beggar heard my attention, he immediately refused, and also limited me to stay in his sight. He helped him raise ninety-nine yuan to eat in half an hour, otherwise he would not help me any more."
He shook his head and explained.
"How did it work out in the end? At that time, even if we asked passers-by to give alms, we couldn't get all the money together, could we?"
I'm surprised to hear that again.
Because I didn't expect that the beggar at that time would have so many conditions. Of course, I didn't expect that Uncle Li at that time believed in the beggar so wholeheartedly. So speaking of these two things, I still think it was Uncle Li's luck.
After all, Uncle Li is talking about the past. According to the previous beggar, Uncle Li should be lucky now. Otherwise, Uncle Li's countless wealth will be really shocking.
"You're right. At that time, I didn't get so much money. Even in the last five minutes, I didn't even get a dollar. Seeing that the beggar was leaving, I came up with an idea. At that time, in the last five minutes, a rich little sister passed by and was just seen by me, so I made a bold decision."
Uncle Li looked at me and said with a proud face.
