Chapter 1258 1260 [Things are not people]
"Don't mention the past." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, there is no point in arguing now. Let's talk about other things."
"Okay." Zhang Xueer sighed, "Do you still remember Nan Li and Xia Junshan?"
Xiang Nan nodded.
"They divorced in two or three years." Zhang Xueer said.
"Why, you are already forty years old, and the children are so old?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked in surprise.
"It's all for the high school entrance examination. Nan Li started to have a baby again, and had a conflict with Xia Junshan. The two had a quarrel, and finally ended in divorce." Zhang Xueer explained, "You are right, you can hide from Xiao Shengchu, You can’t escape the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination. The paper is still the paper, and the chicken is still the chicken.”
"I thought there would be a miracle. Huanhuan ran away from home, she should learn a lesson." Xiang Nan sighed.
"She also seems to be stimulated by being laid off." Zhang Xueer explained, "After the new crown epidemic, the company where Nan Li works has been in poor business conditions.
So as the marketing manager, she was pulled out as a scapegoat. This incident hit her hard. She told me that she didn't want Huanhuan to fail like her. "
"No wonder." Xiang Nan nodded.
Nan Li lived her whole life to save face. When I was a girl, my father was the vice president of the design institute, and my mother was beautiful and fairy, known as the eldest princess, stronger than other parents.
She lives in the family area of the Design Institute, and she has developed a good-looking personality since she was a child. But when she reaches middle age, she is demoted first, then laid off, and her children are not successful, so it is inevitable that she will be anxious.
"However, I don't think her choice was wrong." Zhang Xue'er continued, "Huanhuan didn't pass the high school entrance examination, she only passed the ordinary high school entrance examination, and passed the college entrance examination.
Her daughter is also sailing now, and likes singing and dancing like her. Now, like Nan Li, she is forcing her children to study every day. I also regret that I was ignorant at the beginning, and I should have focused on my studies. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so miserable after growing up. "
"Understandable." Xiang Nan nodded.
Young people don't know how to study hard early, but old people regret studying late.
When I was young, I always thought that I still had a lot of time, so I didn't cherish it at all and wasted it at will. But in fact, every step in life is followed by the previous step. As long as one step goes astray, and then go back to correct it, it will be very difficult.
…
"It's better than Mi Tao, who went to Tsinghua University after taking the college entrance examination. Now she works as an investment manager in a fund company in Jiangzhou, with an annual income of more than 10 million yuan." Zhang Xueer continued, "Besides, she found a very good husband, a rich second generation. "
"It's not surprising, Mi Tao has a strong mathematical thinking since he was a child." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
"Well, do you still remember Yan Ziyou?" Zhang Xueer asked again.
Xiang Nan nodded.
"After he dropped out of Fengfan, he went abroad to study. He returned to Jiangzhou in three or five years and is now a professor of the Biology Department of Jiangzhou University." Zhang Xueer said again, "His illnesses are also much better, and can be controlled by taking medicine. Everyone said he was Jiang University’s John Nash.”
"Actually, with this child's self-discipline ability, even if Tian Yulan doesn't force him, he can still become a talent." Xiang Nan sighed, "However, it is not bad to have such a result now."
"Well, Tian Yulan is not very good. After the new crown epidemic, she was also laid off. Later, she worked a few jobs sporadically, but they didn't work for a long time.
The main reason is that she has a bad temper, she always pinches her wherever she goes, and she doesn't get along with anyone she cooperates with. In the end, I didn't dare to use her anywhere, so I could only do odd jobs. In 1930, when Nan Jianlong passed away, she and Nan Li had filed a lawsuit over the house. " Zhang Xueer said again.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Character determines destiny.
Tian Yulan's personality is too bad, she is always greedy, and she always suspects that others will harm her. Such a character can't get better anywhere.
"Okay, let's not talk about them, let's eat." Xiang Nan nodded and said.
These people are just passers-by in his life, and twenty or thirty years have passed. To be honest, he only remembered a name for many people, and he couldn't even remember what they looked like.
He no longer wants to pay attention to their old affairs.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer were matched by their son and moved in together again.
The reason is that Zhang Xueer is getting old. Unlike Xiang Nan, her current physical condition is abnormal, and she is relatively lonely.
If there is no one at home, no one may know about his death.
Zhong Ming wanted to live with her so that it would be convenient for her to take care of her.
But Xiang Nan knew that his son was already twenty-six years old, and he had also reached the age to get married and have children.
Living with Zhang Xueer, although you can fulfill your filial piety, it is not good for talking about marriage.
After all, these days, which daughter-in-law would still live with her in-laws.
So Xiang Nan agreed to take care of Zhang Xueer for him.
However, although the two live under the same roof, they do not live in the same room, they live in separate rooms.
Under his company and care, Zhang Xueer's spirit and body are gradually recovering.
…
After returning to Jiangzhou, Xiang Nan did not stop studying.
He visited famous masters to learn the knowledge of cultural relics appreciation.
Although Ji Xiaolan is also a master of cultural relics appreciation. However, the cultural relics of the Qianlong period are limited after all.
Since the Republic of China, Yin Ruins, Han Tombs, and many relics of prehistoric civilization have been developed, greatly enriching the types and quantities of cultural relics.
What Xiang Nan knows is a drop in the bucket.
So he wants to make up for his shortcomings. From prehistory to after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he wants to learn about cultural relics.
Seeing that he is still diligent in his studies despite his age, even Zhang Xueer is amazed.
"Zhong Yi, do you think it's useful to learn this?" She asked suspiciously.
People say that one does not learn art at thirty, but Zhong Yi is already sixty years old, and he still learns so much, which is really amazing.
"Of course it is useful." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "My life has a limit, but knowledge has no limit. So I have to study every day, and I will have further joy."
If there is only one life in life, he doesn't need to learn any more. There are a few decades left, and you can enjoy it. But the point is that he is not only for a lifetime.
He had worked hard in this life, and it would be easier in another life.
"I'm not as good as you." Zhang Xueer sighed.
…
Seven years later, Xiang Nan has become an expert in the field of cultural relic appreciation.
Not only has rich theoretical experience, but also has a large collection of cultural and antiques in his hands, comparable to museum collections.
In "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth", Qianlong said that the most important thing in collecting antiques is to get started and play with them for a long time.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan has a lot of money. Even antiques worth hundreds of millions can be bought casually. Therefore, over time, his knowledge of cultural and antiques has naturally increased greatly.
After finishing Wenwan, Xiang Nan began to study the social development and changes in the past few decades.
Xiang Nan knew that he was running out of time, so he had to study hard so that he could keep all the changes in the past few decades in his mind.
So he began to study hard, memorize seriously, and try to keep all these in his mind.
