Chapter 342 The Temptation Of Uniforms

• "But Dad, I..."
• "Enough, stop talking. Let me tell you, son, your mom and I only have you as our son. We have raised you since you were young. Other families send their children to work outside after middle school, but we have worked hard to educate you. We wanted you to go to college. At that time, everyone laughed at us for being foolish, but we never thought we were. We just hoped you would study hard, get into a good university, and then leave this poor place to live a better life in a big city."
• "Of course, I don't deny that I have vanity, and I hope that you will succeed and come back to make our family proud, so that I can show off in front of our neighbors. But more than anything, I hope that you can live a good life, the kind of happiness they talk about on TV, living a happy life. But what is a happy life? It's working hard, having a home, living a stable life without worrying about food and clothing, eating well during the day, sleeping soundly at night - that's a happy life. Some things shouldn't be said by a father like me, but since your mother is gone, I have to say them. You're already twenty-seven, soon to be twenty-eight, and quickly approaching thirty. When you meet a suitable girl, get married and settle down, don't keep wandering around, or you'll waste your life. No matter how much money you make, it's just paper. Only family is the most important thing. You need to have a family, understand?" The old man spoke to Wang Wenbin with great seriousness, his words calm but carrying a hint of plea.
