Chapter 303: It is better to be sad together than to be sad alone

Different from Uncle Ge who had a life of struggle and hard work, Uncle An had a life of pure victory. When he was young, he relied on his father, and when he was old, he relied on his son.

It is said that this Mr. An was the eldest son of the An family. The family had high hopes for him and he would establish a prominent family in the future. However, this eldest son of the An family was extremely different. He loved to pursue pleasure and could not endure any hardship. What's more, because he was handsome and had a sweet mouth, people who originally wanted to urge him to study were embarrassed to be too harsh on him.

Every time he uses his intelligence and talent to be lazy, competing with his family members in wits and courage. Anyway, he doesn't want to do anything and just wants to be a useless person. He was born into such a good family, why does he still work hard?

All the hard work of hanging his head on the beam, piercing his thigh with a needle, crowing of the rooster at midnight, and getting up at dawn were all unworthy of the good birth he was born into, so he would not learn, no matter what, he would not learn. He just wanted to enjoy himself and be a rich and idle person for the rest of his life.

His family had no idea what to do with him. They had never seen such a person who had no ambition and was only interested in pleasure, and yet he happened to be born into their family. Mrs. An even thought of stuffing him back into her stomach and giving him another life.

But if the eldest son is mediocre and incompetent, and only knows how to enjoy himself, how can the family trust him with important tasks and establish a family! It is said that because he refused to change his ways and made no effort to make progress, the family's title almost fell into his hands.

But who knew that he was so lucky? Although he was incompetent, his son was born smart since childhood. He didn't have a photographic memory, but he was well-informed and had a good memory. Old man An placed his hopes on his eldest grandson, who was much better than his father. Not only was he smart, but he was also hardworking. At a young age, he won the title of the youngest top scholar in Daning.

Old Mr. An was so happy that with such an outstanding grandson, his eldest son didn't matter anymore.

Therefore, the father with a high position and power and the smart and capable son have no use for Uncle An at all. With elderly parents and young children to take care of, Uncle An's life is so comfortable.

Moreover, although Uncle An is greedy for pleasure, he is also very sensible in his actions and will never cause trouble for his father and son without reason. He used to have fun on his own, and he was noble and cold, looking down on any playboy in the playboy circle, because those people at most had a capable father, but they were not as good as his son.

It was not until Uncle Ge showed up that he found the organization. He felt that only someone like Uncle Ge who had a glorious experience was qualified to play with him, and play elegantly and unconventionally.

Of course, given Uncle Ge's character, he would not lead him into the gutter. Uncle Ge was personally spoken to by his father and son, who said that he was a good and reliable person. Then he felt even more relieved. He didn't have to use his brain when he followed Uncle Ge out to play. He used to worry that someone would plot against or take advantage of him, but now with Uncle Ge around, he doesn't have to worry at all. After all, Uncle Ge's brain, as a second-rank official, is not for show. He feels so relaxed.

His father and son are powerful, so they are more justified in beating people up than Uncle Ge.

Shu Xiaoxiao: You guys are really nice!

But when it comes to beating people, Shu Xiaoxiao has to say that she was a little tempted. Although she had taken a leave of absence this month, she was busy and never stopped. This was because her master was well-read and knowledgeable, and he could talk about anything at will. Do you think farming is just farming?

Principal Chu casually threw out a question, and it would take her a week to flip through the books. So although she took a month off to farm, she still had to memorize everything. Her master would occasionally test her on her memorization, and Principal Chu would ask her a question, and she would have to go back and look it up, understand it, and recite it. So Shu Xiaoxiao had a very difficult month, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was physically and mentally exhausted.

Now if these uncles want to beat someone up, let them do it.

It is better to worry with others than to worry alone! At such a young age, it is the time to learn. The future is at our feet, so how can we indulge in pleasure?

"Grandpa Ge, Grandpa An, you don't know how hard it has been for me during this period of time as I had to study and train the eighteen scholars for my master. My hard work is a pity, but other people's happiness makes me even more uncomfortable." Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little unbalanced when she thought that while she was suffering from the pain of memorizing books, there were others who were enjoying life leisurely.

We are the same age, and I even have a higher status than you. Why should I suffer while you enjoy yourself? I just can't stand it! From today on, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven!

"We are all at an age where we should work hard. As the new generation of young people in Daning, it doesn't make sense for me to be the only one working hard while others enjoy themselves!"

This sentence, 'My hard work is a pity, but other people's happiness makes me feel even more uncomfortable,' may not matter to the other uncle, after all, he has always been so happy, but it deeply touched Uncle Ge.

That's right. When he was young, he worked hard to memorize articles and practice martial arts. It was very hard. Especially when compared with others who just had to eat, drink and have fun, the hardship seemed more profound. Otherwise, why would he retire early? He just thought that it was the first time for everyone to be a human being in this world.

Why do some people just eat, drink and have fun all their lives without any worries, while he works so hard but doesn't seem to live any more comfortably than those dissolute disciples!

A person's life is neither long nor short, at least a few decades. He works so hard but cannot enjoy himself. What's the point? So he works harder, and after he has given an account of his life, he begins to enjoy a different way of living.

Just because he repented in time and escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, his fellow disciples, although their status became higher and higher, the wrinkles on their faces increased, their hair became thinner, and their health became worse day by day. Now that they stand together, no one doubts that they are two generations apart. Every time he sees their hard work, his happiness doubles.

Work hard when you are young and enjoy life when you are old, this is life!

So he couldn't agree more with this sentence. Mr. Ye's summary was very good and very apt.

"So what Master Ye means is..." Uncle Ge asked humbly. He always felt that what Master Ye said next would not disappoint people.

"I mean, even if we want to beat someone up, we can't do it without a reason. No, we're not doing this to beat someone up. We're doing this to urge the next generation of Daning to become better people so that we can build a better Daning!"

"Does anyone among us know the Wucheng Bingmasi?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked.

"I know him. He is familiar with my son, and I can talk to him." Mr. Ge said modestly. He was not very familiar with the Wucheng Bingmasi, but he was familiar with the father of the Wucheng Bingmasi. The old man still owed him a favor. As long as it was not a big deal, just an ordinary little thing, he just gave a greeting, and the Wucheng Bingmasi refused to do it, he could not get past his father.

Of course, he would consider everything carefully and would never cheat others.

"Does anyone in the Imperial College know anyone?"

"I know him!" Uncle An said immediately.
