Mu Chen

Chapter 118

118、Wake up

Back in N City, Mu Chen went directly to Gu Ning's house with the lamb chops he brought back.Gu Ning has been abroad for the past two days, and Ding Bowen hasn't left work yet, only Teacher Ding is at home.

Muchen familiarly divided the meat into small portions, bagged it and put it in the refrigerator, washed the last piece and stewed it. He stood by the stove and frothed, while Teacher Ding was also sorting out the dishes for the evening.

N City is hot and humid, although it is an open kitchen, the air conditioner is not very effective.

Mu Chen originally said that he would prepare dinner and let Teacher Ding go out and wait, but Teacher Ding disagreed, "I have nothing to do this day, so I can cook for them, and the fish and shrimp that Xiao Gu likes to eat are all gone. will do."

Mu Chen smiled, "It's okay, I only learned how to make those after working here, and only after I learned it did I realize that it's much easier than making meat. Brother is not picky about food, he can eat anything you make."

Teacher Ding also laughed, "Yeah, Xiao Gu is really good, really good, but seeing that they are both so busy, I also want to find something suitable for them to eat."

When Ding Bowen came back, he saw two people talking and laughing in the kitchen. The room was full of the smell of his favorite stewed mutton. He greeted him with a satisfied smile. When he got out of the shower, the food was already on the table.

After dinner, Ding Bowen was going to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Teacher Ding, Mu Chen smiled, "I'm going to bring Uncle Cheng here too, it's really a treasure to have a child with a father."

Teacher Ding laughed, and Ding Bowen also had a smug face, "Ah Ning has already given away half of it, no matter how envious you are, I can't give you any more."

The two left the restaurant laughing and went to the study on the second floor.As soon as he entered, Ding Bowen asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with you, you're out of your mind."

Muchen touched his face, "Is it so obvious?"

Ding Bowen said, "My dad can't see it, can't I see it?" He made a glass of Longjing for him and poured himself a glass of water.

Mu Chen talked about Yu Yong's current situation, and also put forward his own plan: If he wants to go back to Y City, even if he doesn't want to be a doctor, he must stay by Yu Yong's side.

Ding Bowen was surprised, "Haven't you been learning French to prepare for going abroad? Why did you suddenly make this decision? Did something happen when you went back or something happened to Yu Yong?"

Muchen shook his head, "Nothing, he's very good, works very hard, and doesn't give any hope to girls who like him. If I didn't stop him, he would like to tell the world about our affairs."

Speaking of this, I laughed first, and then fell down again, "It's just that I feel very distressed. He drank and vomited twice when I went back. I asked his colleagues and said that he was like this almost every day. He obviously couldn't eat three meals a day. , he is even fatter than before, but it’s all fake, he can’t even lift me up.”

When it came to this point, Mu Chen consciously made a slip of the tongue, and smiled embarrassedly. Seeing that Ding Bowen was listening seriously, and didn't intend to make fun of it, he continued,

"He used to run every morning, and his body was full of muscles. It's only been a few months, and his belly has come out. He used to be very good at housekeeping. He has been cleaning the second floor. Our silk quilts can be folded squarely. Of course, it can’t be compared with the army’s. Now the room is full of dirt. In the past, he was always clean and fresh, but now, when he entered the door, he smelled of cigarettes, alcohol, perfume, or he was covered in soot... ..."

Ding Bowen, "..."

Muchen, "Bowen, it's not that I don't believe him, but I feel sorry for him, especially. You know about his father. For several years, he couldn't touch alcohol. But now, he drinks every day, sometimes twice a day. , I'm really worried that he's starting to drink and won't be able to eat properly."

Muchen couldn't continue talking, he picked up his cup to drink tea, Ding Bowen didn't make a sound, and only refilled his cup when it was half empty.

After a while, Mu Chen calmed down, and said slowly, "In the year of his senior high school entrance examination, I was still in school, and his mother insisted on him working in a small restaurant during the holidays, killing chicken skewers in the afternoon, and working as a waiter in the evening. More than a dozen chickens a day, He killed it all by himself, cleaned it up when it was done, scalded it with boiling water before plucking it, that smell..."

Ding Bowen, "..."

Mu Chen, "Since then, he can't eat chicken. In the past two days since I went back, I thought, what's wrong with us, now we don't have to scald chickens and pluck their feathers, so why are we so competitive with ourselves? We must live like this! This time he said that he supported me to go out, and gave us three years to get a degree, and he would earn me 1000 million. But who cares about his 1000 million! Just because of this 1000 million, we will separate , he still broke his body, what's the point?"

Ding Bowen saw that he was agitated, and said softly, "Mu Chen, you will be confused if you care about it."

Muchen, "..."

Ding Bowen, "Mu Chen, have you ever thought about the pressure on Yu Yong?"

Muchen irritatedly said, "Why didn't I think about it, if I didn't think about it, I could let him live in Y City alone?"

Ding Bowen shook his head lightly, "You haven't thought enough, Mu Chen. In your eyes, Yu Yong is still the poor child who was abused by the family, or the orphaned boy who killed chicken skewers when he was a teenager, but Yu Yong has grown up, the unit he is in, and the medals he received can prove it.”

Ding Bowen drank his saliva and said slowly, "He has adapted well after leaving the army. He was able to open up the situation so quickly. Aning praised him more than once for his hard work and ability. His way of getting a sense of accomplishment."

Speaking of this, he felt a little emotional, "We often say that the current social values ​​are not good, and money is the only criterion for success, but this is a secular standard after all."

Glancing at Mu Chen, Ding Bowen said again, "In Yu Yong's heart, he must position himself as your man rather than your younger brother. He wants to repay you and let others know that you didn't love the wrong person. Be stronger so that others will not dare to bully you."

Mu Chen listened blankly, but didn't speak.Thinking of their beginning, apart from these, Yu Yong should want him not to regret it.

This silly boy, he has never regretted it!

Ding Bowen, "He is still young and his vision is limited. You have Uncle Mu to give you the bottom line. Don't you think that he came from a poor boy, and the goal of 1000 million is not ridiculous. On the contrary, he is very thoughtful and pragmatic."

Muchen anxiously said, "I'm not laughing at him, I'm just, just"

Ding Bowen, "You just think it's not worthwhile to buy your three years for 1000 million."

Muchen nodded, "Yes, it's not worth it. You know, my dad, his dad, both left very suddenly. I often think what if there is any accident. He used to have a dangerous mission, but now it's time to quit. Drinking and touching the car every day, didn't you say 'you never know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident', I was scared."

Ding Bowen, "Mu Chen, there is a principle in accounting called 'continuous operation', that is to say, if you want to make accounts, you must first assume that the company can continue to operate stably. This is the premise of building a set of accounts. We all read "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" when we were young, and we all heard "1 years is too long, just seize the day and night", but I think this is just a reminder to cherish the present, not to really cherish every day. Live it like it's your last day."

Muchen, "..."

Ding Bowen, "Although it is said that the concept of 'going concern' is too one-sided, because there are two types of enterprises, normal operation and liquidation, but if you apply the accounting treatment method of liquidation to normal business , must have been a mess."

Mu Chen pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I really convinced you, when did you even learn accounting."

Ding Bowen also laughed, "We have to have a financial report for each project from project approval to acceptance. If we do more, it will be a little bit."

Muchen was a little discouraged, "I know what you mean, I'm too impatient. Hehe, I only found out after this trip that Xiaoyong's earliest plan was to use his retirement money and salary to buy a second-hand car to test the waters. If it’s good, I’ll mortgage the house I’m living in and buy two cars, and work slowly.”

Speaking of this, I can't hide my frustration, "His ultimate goal is to be able to buy a small house for his mother in Jinxiuyuan, so that he can afford a nanny and see a doctor. As a result, I sold all the shops and stocks in the mall, and he said he You must do something famous and give me an explanation. Hehe, Bowen, do you think I shot myself in the foot with a rock?"

Ding Bowen laughed, "Do you still remember the text 'Maggie's Gift' we learned? You are like this. Sometimes you think too much about each other, and you will act a little stupidly. But isn't that what is valuable?"

Muchen, "I see, I didn't think carefully, and I'm putting too much pressure on him when I go back now."

Ding Bowen, "That's all I want to say, as long as you understand it. It's like you only know that Aning is good to me, but you don't know how grateful I am. I am so grateful that he thinks too much about me. There is so little that can be given to him, and this kind of happiness makes me feel that I can't repay him. To be honest, I wouldn't even blink if he wanted my life."

Muchen was a little surprised, "Have you told your senior brother? You don't feel well like this."

Ding Bowen laughed, "Why didn't you say it? He said too much. Whenever I said it, he said, 'You have to learn to get used to it. Anyway, it's impossible for me to treat you badly and not care about it'. You also know how overbearing he is."

Muchen also laughed, "Well, it's domineering enough, he's a 'dominant president' in the first place."

Ding Bowen also laughed, "I can understand Yu Yong's feelings because we are the one who gets more than we give in this relationship. Mu Chen, Ah Ning sometimes doesn't understand, and thinks I think too much, but I I also want to treat him well and help him, but he doesn’t lack anything, compared to him, I have nothing, I have nothing to give him, and I have nothing to repay.”

Muchen, "If you love someone, you want to give him everything, I understand."

Yes, I understand, I want to give you everything I have, and you want to give me everything and more, but now you think you have nothing, so you can endure the pain of separation and work hard for it.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen smiled, "Bowen, you're also on the edge of your head. You always feel that you don't give much to your senior brother, but in fact it's all you have. There may be differences in the absolute value of your contributions to each other, but they are all 100% in relative value." Yes, don’t seniors understand? In the final analysis, our hearts are not strong enough, we only dare to give, we dare not ask for it, and we can’t even accept it calmly.”

Ding Bowen was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "It's enough for the two of us to discuss this topic."

Muchen smiled, "Fuck enough? No, it's very important that we can clarify our thoughts. I know, I'll go to France as a visiting scholar first, whether I want to do a PhD or not, I'll see when I go."

Ding Bowen, "That's fine, I'll go and see the situation."
