Liao Gufeng said slowly: "The second thing is very similar to Xiao Qiao now... At that time, the top leader was the head of the trade union in the unit who asked me to mention this marriage. At that time, the trade union head told me that it was my great luck to say that the top leader could fall in love with me from a rural poor family. It was my ancestor who burned Gao Xiang and said that as long as I got married to his daughter, it would be like to take the ride-hailing career of progress, and I would ensure a bright future in the future and I would be promoted soon..."

Mrs. Liao looked at Liao Gufeng intently.

Liao Gufeng continued: "At that time, I was young and energetic, and I had a pure and clean idealistic feeling for my career and love. When I heard the matchmaker's words, I felt that this blasphemed sacred love and was also a kind of harm to my strong self-esteem caused by my involuntary inferiority. In addition, I liked you at that time, so I immediately refused, saying that I was from a poor and humble family and was not worthy of that kind of noble family. I was willing to work hard on my own abilities, and I was as capable as I could, and I didn't have any ride-hailing..."

"Oh? And this is also the case? You haven't told me about this for so many years. Your self-esteem and pure idealistic sentiment seem a little stupid." Mrs. Liao smiled.

"If I weren't stupid at that time, could we still be together? You should thank me for being stupid!" Liao Gufeng said.

Mrs. Liao smiled again: "Yes, I want to thank you."

Liao Gufeng said: "Of course, my stupidity at that time saved me, otherwise I would definitely be implicated after the accident of that leader. Of course, several years later, I also thought about whether I would regret it if I couldn't bear it and became successful..."

"Will you regret it?" said Mrs. Liao.

"No, absolutely not, never!" Liao Gufeng said simply.

"Why?" Mrs. Liao said curiously.

Liao Gufeng said slowly: "Because if I regret it, I will lose myself and I will not be today. In fact, I am grateful for the self-esteem I brought because of my inferiority complex. In fact, whether you are willing to admit it or not, most people's self-esteem comes from inferiority complex. I was at that time, and so is Qiao Liang now.

However, some people will transform this self-esteem into self-confidence and strive forward in self-confidence, while others will maintain their pitiful self-esteem in long-term inferiority complex and do nothing for life. I belong to the former, and I believe Qiao Liang will also belong to the former in the future!"

Mrs. Liao pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Old Liao, are you talking about this to me? Are you trying to tell me that Xiao Qiao is comparable to you now?"

"Yes, from this kid, I can see my shadow from time to time!" Liao Gufeng's tone was filled with unconcealed appreciation.

"Is this why you like him?" said Mrs. Liao.

"It should be said that it is part of the reason why I like him."

"what else?"

"And his evil, this kid is an alternative in the circle, good and evil, very special!"

"Then, is Xiao Qiao's current behavior in this matter also because of evil?"

"There's a little bit!" Liao Gufeng smiled, "The more this kid is like this, the more I like it."

"If...I mean-" Mrs. Liao paused, "If Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qian can't be together in the end, will you still like Xiao Qiao?"

"Of course, I like Xiao Qiao, it has nothing to do with whether he can be with Xiao Qian!" Liao Gufeng nodded.

"You old man..." Mrs. Liao smiled bitterly, "Actually after experiencing this incident, I think it doesn't matter whether they can be together or not. What about Xiaoqian in our family? We have to have a look, a status, and a family. What about him? Besides excellent quality, what else? And it's a second marriage..."

Liao Gufeng shook his head: "Hey, Lao Lu, your idea is wrong, it's very wrong! The reason I just told you about my past is to let you know that love in my youth cannot be mixed with too many utilitarian factors. It should be pure and sacred. For young people, what is the most important thing for love and marriage? Of course, it is quality. As long as the quality is good, everything else is secondary.

Marriage mixed with utilitarian factors cannot be guaranteed to be stable and long-term if the quality of a person is not guaranteed. There are many such examples around: for the marriage of the father-in-law, there will be no accident in the father-in-law's position, and the marriage looks harmonious and happy. Once retirement or something happens, the marriage will then break down. The man who married for the father-in-law will then find another new goal that is beneficial to his future..."

Mrs. Liao thought to herself: "That's true. There is such a young man from the countryside in my unit who pursued the woman when she was chasing her father-in-law. As a result, less than two years after getting married, his father-in-law made a mistake. Just one month after entering, he divorced the woman... So, shouldn't I blame Xiao Qiao?"

Liao Gufeng nodded: "Not only should you not blame Xiao Qiao, but you should also reflect on yourself. At the same time, we should also be happy that Xiao Qian has made friends like Xiao Qiao. If you change to young people in other systems, if you flatter Xiao Qian, it will make me uneasy, because the purpose of chasing Xiao Qian is likely to be impure. He may not be Xiao Qian, but me. I hate this kind of person from the bottom of my heart."

Mrs. Liao curled her lips: "So, is Xiao Qiao's doing this just right? "

Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "This is not true, because based on my understanding of Xiao Qiao's quality and character, I really hope that he can be good with Xiaoqian, but because of your troubles, like me back then, it is obviously understood. In fact, Xiao Qiao's performance is still good now. If I had met Xiao Qiao's current situation, it might be better than him!"

Mrs. Liao curled her lips again: "You two are so angry that you might as well become sworn brothers."

"Non-no, I can only be his father-in-law at this age, how can I be a brother!" Liao Gufeng glared.

Mrs. Liao couldn't help laughing, and then sighed: "Okay, today, I know I was wrong. I really shouldn't say that. I shouldn't think so. I should think deeply and reflect on myself. Alas, Lao Liao, I seem to feel that as our position changes, my mentality and consciousness are a little fluttering, and I have forgotten my original intention..."

Liao Gufeng patted his wife's shoulder: "It is a good comrade to be able to recognize. We are all farmers' children. We have all come step by step from the bottom. We have experienced simple and clean youth and youthful years. Forgetting the past means betrayal. When we face young people, we should think more from the perspective of others, think more about us back then, and think about what we would think and do when we encounter this situation..."

Mrs. Liao listened intently.

Liao Gufeng continued: "Also, Lao Lu, I suggest you and I don't interfere with Xiaoqian and Xiao Qiao in the future, because once you get involved, you will easily get mixed with utilitarian factors. This is something I don't like. With Xiao Qiao's personality, he will also be disgusted. I believe in a saying about the marriage of children: Everything will come naturally. Whether the two young people can be together in the end depends on their fate. If they are destined to be destined, it will be useless if they don't work hard!"

Mrs. Liao nodded: "Okay, listen to you, I try not to get involved."

"Hmm? Try to do what it means, but still unwilling to give up?" Liao Gufeng frowned.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this. This is my relationship with my daughter. It's not okay to talk to my daughter in my heart?" said Mrs. Liao.

Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Of course this is OK, it's accurate!"

"You are the one who is right. I'll go up and see my daughter. I'll sleep with my daughter tonight!" Mrs. Liao then stood up and went upstairs.

Watching his wife go upstairs, Liao Gufeng lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, then laughed silently, and said to himself: "Boy, okay, I'm more and more like me back then..."
