Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Back to morning.

When Gu Guangsheng heard the good news at breakfast, he was so happy that he was bubbling with happiness.

His funny appearance made everyone in the family laugh.

Gu Mingwei looked at his youngest son's happy expression and remembered what Mingyue had said.

Thinking secretly, I asked my child to do this and that.

But how can he expect his children to be obedient if he himself did not fulfill his promise?

Maybe it's really the wrong method?

Thinking about the beatings my youngest son has received since he was a child, I feel sad and guilty at the same time.

He whispered to his wife, "Remember to give Guangsheng more money."

Liu Caixia rolled her eyes at him and said, "By the time you remembered, the flowers would have gone cold. Your son has already come to ask for them, and he still thinks a whole big unity is not enough."

Well, the fatherly love that he had finally mustered was instantly shattered by his son’s loud mouth.

He felt that it was better to have a strict father and a kind mother. At worst, he would be beaten less in the future.

I don't require good grades, as long as he stays on the right track and doesn't spend money.

Oh, I am so tired...

While eating, Gu Mingyue noticed that her uncle had a lot more white hair on his head, and she felt a little worried.

He took the initiative to say, "Uncle, why don't you go with us?"

Gu Guoqiang was stunned, and noticed the worry in Mingyue's eyes. He comforted her and stopped thinking about those trivial things.

He smiled kindly and said, "Uncle is old and can't walk anymore. You guys go."

Gu Mingyue said it several times, but seeing that her uncle really didn't want to go, she stopped arranging it.

I just made a note of it and decided to find a wheelchair in the future so that if my uncle couldn't walk, I could push him around town.

Her uncle was sincere to her, and she was happy to give him some feedback.

Finally set off...

When we got to town, we went to pick up the photos first.

Master Lu Ping saw Gu Mingyue and the other two dressed up and asked curiously, "Are you going out?"

Gu Mingyue simply replied, "Yes, I am going to Harbin."

Lu Ping didn't ask much, but thought of the bag of clothes he asked the old woman to pack, and he was hesitant to speak.

Gu Mingyue thought something was wrong with the photo and asked hurriedly, "Master Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Ping remembered what the old woman had told him to do, and he should ask people whether they mind the old clothes.

Don't do something with good intentions but bad results, making people think you look down on others.

It is not difficult to see from such suggestions that Master Lu, a technical talent, must have shortcomings in interpersonal communication.

Otherwise, my family wouldn’t have given me such instructions.

Lu Ping said unnaturally, "I asked my family to pack some old clothes. I wonder if you need them."

Gu Mingyue was a little surprised. She thought that Master Lu would at most give her a cheaper price when developing the photos.

I didn't expect this person to be so kind-hearted.

I noticed the package in Master Lu's hand. It seemed that it was not a spur-of-the-moment thing. It must have been prepared in advance and he was waiting to give it to her when they met.

Afraid that Gu Mingyue would dislike it, he added, "They are all clean, but my family can't use them now, and it would be a waste to leave them there, so..."

Gu Mingyue felt a little warm. Who would complain about having too many clothes nowadays?

Even if it is torn into a piece of cloth, it will be kept to make shoe soles.

Even if Master Lu's family was relatively well-off, he would not give away clothes for free. Cloth coupons are so precious nowadays.

Gu Mingyue didn't say much, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master Lu."

Master Lu waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you don't mind. But I didn't know you were going out with this, so it might be inconvenient to carry it."

Gu Mingyue pondered and said, "Can we leave it here with you first? We'll get it back when we get back from Harbin. To be honest, this time we're mainly taking Xiao Shitou for a checkup, which will take at least two days and at most a week."

When Lu Ping heard that he had to go for a check-up, he remembered what the villagers said about the child having brain problems.

He didn't notice anything different, and didn't ask any questions. He nodded and agreed, "It's okay. Leave it here first. There's room over here. You can pick it up anytime when you come back."

Gu Mingyue deliberately said, "You have to keep it for me. Don't regret it someday and be reluctant to part with it."

Lu Ping suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, pretending to be annoyed and said, "Who are you looking down on? Don't you have to catch the car? Let's go quickly."

As he said this, he waved his hand and chased the person away.

On the way, Gu Guangsheng said with emotion, "Master Lu looked cold and indifferent, but I didn't expect him to be so nice."

"Indeed, he looks cold but his heart is warm." Gu Mingyue said this and said what she had guessed. "It's probably because he felt embarrassed after eating meat in the village last time. Also, he felt a little sympathetic after learning about my and Xiao Shitou's life stories."

Gu Guangsheng stuttered as he asked, "Aunt, do you feel that being sympathized by others will...?"

Gu Mingyue understood what he wanted to say and continued, "Would you feel embarrassed or ashamed?"

Gu Guangsheng touched his head unnaturally and said, "I kind of think so."

Gu Mingyue understood. In her previous life, she also thought that face was more important than anything else.

She thought about it, when she was in school, her teacher asked her for tuition fees in front of everyone, asking her why she always delayed paying the tuition fees? It wasted her and everyone else's time.

While working, he was scolded in public by the team leader because of his unskillfulness.

When I was doing my own business, I found out after purchasing the goods that they were not what I ordered and the seller was selling inferior goods as good ones.

I went to argue and was scolded a few times. I felt embarrassed, so I started arguing with the other party in public, and finally ended up going to the police station.

I have had my face stepped on by others countless times. Whenever I think of it in my dreams at midnight, I feel indignant.

But after getting through that difficult period and becoming stronger, I looked back and realized...

Unconsciously, she had not cared about the issue of face for a long time, and she lived a better life this way.

She couldn't help thinking:

If I were in school, I wouldn't keep silent because I felt embarrassed.

Instead, he directly said that his family favored boys over girls. There might still be doubts, but at least he would not be punished in public every time he paid tuition.

If at work, you choose to admit your mistakes directly instead of losing face.

Will the team leader lose the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and stop finding fault?

If I had not taken the initiative to purchase the goods because I felt embarrassed when being criticized in public.

Instead, you should collect evidence and argue your case based on your arguments. The result will definitely be much better than going directly to the police station.

Thinking of this, she said to Gu Guangsheng seriously, "Face is earned by oneself, not defined by others. I asked Master Lu to take pictures first, and then to treat guests;

Master Lu was embarrassed to return some of my things to me. Even if there was some sympathy in it, we had a give and take relationship. The process was not important, but the result was.

The result is that I got a benefit. Maybe you don’t think this benefit is insignificant now, but there may be a moment when this benefit may become your last chance.

When you are strong enough, you won’t care about losing face. Only the weak and incompetent will care about the face they don’t even have.”

Gu Guangsheng frowned and thought...

Gu Mingyue patted his shoulder and teased, "Young man, let me tell you that only what falls into your pocket is real, everything else is fake;

As long as you don't feel ashamed, no one has the right to judge you. Instead of wasting time, you might as well think about how to enrich yourself. "

Gu Guangsheng couldn't help but ask, "What if others are just laughing at you?"

Gu Mingyue held up two fingers and said, "There are two situations. The first one is that he is your bread and butter. It's no use laughing at all, after all, you rely on others for support;

The second type is looking for trouble. I would like to say four words to him: It’s none of your business.”
