Chapter 498 Humble

There was a silence in the car, as if no one knew what to say.

After a long time, Niu Er who was driving broke the dull atmosphere.

"Huzi, Second Brother has a question for you!"

Hu Liang sat in the back seat, his numb eyes scanned the scenery passing by the roadside, the bare branches and withered yellow weeds were lifeless, just like his mood at the moment.

Hearing Niu Er's question, Hu Liang withdrew his gaze and straightened his sitting posture, "Second Brother, may I ask you!"

Up to now, Hu Liang knew that this unattractive driver was not an ordinary person, but a legendary master of the rivers and lakes.

Don't dare to neglect.

Niu Er asked: "Do you know what it means for a man to kneel?"

Niu Er didn't want to say some things at first, and he didn't know Hu Liang well at first, so how did he live? But since he is following Xiaobai now, this must be said.

Hu Liang pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

Zhang Xiaobai lit a cigarette and said: "On the first day of college, because I had no money to pay the tuition, I went directly to the principal's office and knelt down to him and begged him to borrow money! It turned out that I was not wrong in my kneeling, and he was worthy of my kneeling." Huzi, I know this is your attitude towards life, but no matter how humble you are, you have to have a limit, right?"

Hu Liang was silent for a while, and said: "Second brother, Bai brother, I also ask you a question! If someone pointed to your nose and said, "You kneel down for me, and I will give you 10,000 yuan, would you kneel?" ?”

The two people sitting in front shook their heads.

Hu Liang seemed to have guessed the answer, and continued, "What about one hundred thousand? One million? Ten million?"

Niu Er smiled and said, "Huzi, the second brother told you from the bottom of his heart, if someone really dared to do this to me, would you believe me or not? Of course I have to keep the money. You have your attitude towards life, I also have my principles of life, I can be beaten to death, but no one can convince me!"

Zhang Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "Huzi, let me ask you a question. If someone buys your life for one million, ten million or even one hundred million, will you sell it? I believe you will not sell it?"

"Money is a good thing, but life is more important! Taking that money, for me, it is a bent back, without dignity, what is the point of me living? It means life is gone! So I really don't want to Will kneel!"

In Hu Liang's consciousness, no one should brag about how proud and loyal they are. It's not that they don't want to bend down and kneel down, it's just that they don't have enough bargaining chips.

But after listening to Niu Er and Zhang Xiaobai's answers, Hu Liang fell into silence. He suddenly felt that what he always believed to be true was just what he thought, and not everyone thought so.

After a long time, Hu Liang took a deep breath and said, "Brother Bai, do you still remember that I stopped studying in the second year of junior high school?"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Remember, you said you were going to the south to wander around, and you won't come back if you don't get along!"

Hu Liang's eyes fell out of the window again, a self-deprecating smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "I did go to the south for three years, and then..."

Hu Liang's smile gradually subsided, showing a painful expression, "I came back from begging all the way!"

There was silence again.

Zhang Xiaobai still remembers what happened at that time. Suddenly one day, Hu Liang called him out and climbed up a red tower mountain. I went to the south to make a living, and when I come back, I invite you to eat big fish and meat, and we smoke him every day, Hongtashan."

Since then, I have never seen Hu Liang again until this reunion.

Hu Liang will never forget that miserable time in his life. When he walked out of the school, he was full of ambition, thinking that the whole world belonged to him, until he went to the south.

I worked as a coolie, worked as a salesman, and did small business, and then I was cheated out of penniless people. In the end, even my ID card was stolen, and it was impossible to even work part-time.

He didn't know how to go, he just knew to go north and beg for food all the way back.

When I got home that night, I suddenly didn't dare to enter the house, and cried all night at the door!

Withdrawing his thoughts, Hu Liang said: "Brother Bai, Second Brother, I believe your answer, but do you believe it? Most people in this world will choose to kneel and ask for money!"

"Second brother, I don't have your good skills, and Bai brother, I don't have your brains or your skills. I'm just a poor kid in a small mountain village. I have no education, no background, and no mines at home, so I ask this Society is begging for mercy. It's not just me, many people are doing it."

"It's not that we don't have dignity, it's not that our spines are weak, but that we are riddled with scars from this doggy life."

"How many people are like me, humble, cowardly, and just living. We bow our heads, bow our heads and smile, kowtow to others and stretch out our hands to beg for food, just to support our family!"

After speaking, Hu Liang let out a long breath, and his eyes became firm again.

He always felt it was right to do so.

Niu Er did not refute, but sighed lightly.

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Life is forced, I can understand. Beard, follow me, I will let you stand and make money!"

Hu Liang smiled, this time from the heart, "Brother Bai, of course I have to follow you, now you are my big boss!"

Back at Tianyu Mining, Hu Liang drove back to Lai County.

When I got home, there was steaming food on the table, a pot of wine was boiling, my wife was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and a pair of twin girls were watching TV on the sofa.

"Dad, Dad!"

When the two girls saw their father coming back, they jumped off the sofa and ran over.

Hu Liang squatted down and opened his arms, hugging each other and kissing each other in turn.

"What a smell of smoke!" The boss said with a look of disgust.

"I think it's okay!" The second child said like a dog.

Hu Liang put down his daughter and hurried to the bathroom to wash his hands and brush his teeth.

The happiest days are when I go back home, chatting and laughing with my two daughters.

Only at this time, he will completely forget the troubles in reality.

Only at this time, he is not a grandson of this society, he is just a father of two children, a woman's man.

Everything I do is for them, for this family!

After dinner, Hu Liang watched TV with his two daughters, and his wife brought him a footbath to wash his feet.

"Are you tired today?" the woman said.

Hu Liang smiled and said, "Not tired!"

The woman said: "There is no time for you to say that you are tired."

In fact, she knows best that her man is so tired every day.

Hu Liang grinned.

After coaxing the two children to sleep, the couple lay on the bed.

Looking at the ceiling, Hu Liang said: "Daughter-in-law, I may be getting rich!"

The woman was feeling sleepy, and said in a daze, "Are you talking in your sleep?"

Hu Liang smiled proudly.
