"Don't bring up the past." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "What is right and what is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, there is no point in arguing about it now. Let's talk about something else."

"Okay." Zhang Xueer sighed, "Do you still remember Nan Li and Xia Junshan?"

Xiang Nan nodded.

"They divorced in 2023." Zhang Xueer said.

"Why, you are already forty years old and your child is so big?" Xiang Nan was stunned and asked in surprise.

"It's all for the high school entrance examination. Nan Li started to have sex again, and had a conflict with Xia Junshan. The two had a heated argument, and finally ended up getting divorced." Zhang Xueer explained, "You are right, you can avoid being promoted to junior high school.

You can't avoid the high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination. The paper will still be the paper, and the chicken will still be the chicken."

"I thought there would be a miracle. Huanhuan ran away from home, she should learn a lesson." Xiang Nan sighed.

"She seemed to be stimulated because she was laid off." Zhang Xueer explained, "After the COVID-19 epidemic, the company Nan Li worked for has been in poor operating conditions.

So as the marketing manager, she was pulled out and used as a scapegoat. This incident hit her hard, and she told me that she didn't want Huanhuan to fail like her."

"No wonder." Xiang Nan nodded.

Nan Li has lived a life of dignity. When she was a girl, her father was the vice president of the design institute, and her mother was beautiful and fairy. She was known as the eldest princess and was better than other parents.

She lived in the family area of ​​​​the design institute, and she developed a good-looking character since she was a child. But when she reached middle age, she was first demoted and then laid off, and her children were not successful.

Anxiety is inevitable.

"However, I think her choice was not wrong." Zhang Xueer added, "Huanhuan did not do well in the high school entrance examination. She only passed an ordinary high school and passed the second level in the college entrance examination. Now she works as a clerk in a company at home and her income is very average.

Her daughter is also sailing now and likes singing and dancing just like her. Now, like Nan Li, she forces her children to study every day. She also regrets that she was not sensible at the time and should have focused on studying. Otherwise, she would not be able to grow up when she grows up.

So miserable."

"Understandable." Xiang Nan nodded.

It’s too late to learn diligently when you’re young, and it’s too late to learn when you’re old.

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 based on the previous step. As long as one step goes astray and you go back to correct it, it will be very difficult.

It's difficult.

…

"It's better to have Mi Tao. She went to Tsinghua University in 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." Zhang Xueer added, "Moreover, the husband she found is also very good, he is a rich second generation.

"

"It's not surprising. This kid, Mi Tao, has been very strong in mathematical thinking since he was a child." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Well, do you still remember Yan Ziyou?" Zhang Xueer asked again.

Xiang Nan nodded.

"After he dropped out of Fengfan, he went to study abroad. He returned to Jiangzhou in 35 years and is now a professor in the Department of Biology of Jiangzhou University." Zhang Xueer added, "His symptoms are much better and can be controlled by taking medicine.

Everyone says he is John Nash from Jiangsu University."

"Actually, with this child's self-discipline, even if Tian Yulan doesn't force him, he can still become a talent." Xiang Nan sighed, "However, it is pretty good to have such a result now."

"Well, things are not going well for Tian Yulan. After the COVID-19 epidemic, she was also laid off. Later, she worked several jobs sporadically, but none of them lasted long.

The main reason was that she had a bad temper. She always wanted to be criticized wherever she went, and she always got into trouble with anyone she worked with. In the end, she was not dared to be used anywhere and could only do odd jobs. When Nan Jianlong passed away in 1930, she and Nan Jianlong

Li also filed a lawsuit over the house." Zhang Xueer added.

Xiang Nan nodded.

Character determines destiny.

Tian Yulan's character is too bad. She is always greedy and always suspicious that others will harm her. Such a character will never get better anywhere.

"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore, let's eat." Xiang Nan nodded.

These people were just passers-by in his life, and twenty or thirty years had passed. To be honest, he only remembered the names of many of them, and he almost couldn't even remember what they looked like.

He no longer wanted to pay attention to their old affairs.

…

Later, Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer were matched by their son and moved in together.

The reason is that Zhang Xueer is older. Unlike Xiang Nan, her current physical condition is different and she is relatively lonely.

If there is no one at home to accompany you, no one may even know about your death.

Zhong Ming then thought of living with her so that she could be taken care of more easily.

But Xiang Nan knew that his son was already twenty-six years old and had reached the age to get married and have children.

Living with Zhang Xueer can certainly fulfill your filial piety, but it is not good for marriage discussions.

After all, no daughter-in-law would be willing to live with her parents-in-law these days.

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 and 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 people and learned the knowledge of cultural relic appreciation.

Although Ji Xiaolan is also a master of cultural relic appreciation, the cultural relics of the Qianlong period are limited after all.

Since the Republic of China, the 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 only a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, he wanted to make up for his shortcomings and wanted to understand cultural relics from prehistory to after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Even Zhang Xueer was amazed to see him still studying diligently despite his age.

"Zhong Yi, do you think learning these is useful?" she asked doubtfully.

People say that you don’t learn art when you are thirty, but Zhong Yi is already sixty years old, and he still learns so much, which is really impressive.

"Of course it's useful." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "My life has a limit, but my knowledge also has no limit. So I have to study every day, and I will have further happiness."

If there is only one life, he does not need to study anymore. He can fully enjoy the remaining decades. But the key is that he does not only have one life.

He has worked hard in this life, and it will be easier in the next life.

"I can't compare to you." Zhang Xueer sighed.

…

Seven years later, Xiang Nan has become an expert in the field of cultural relic appreciation.

Not only is he rich in theoretical experience, but he also has a large collection of antiques and antiques, comparable to those in a museum.

In "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", Qianlong said that the most important thing in collecting antiques is to get started and play with them. Only by immersing yourself in them for a long time can you become a master.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan had plenty of money, so he could easily buy antiques worth hundreds of millions. Therefore, over time, his knowledge of antiques and antiques naturally increased greatly.

After finishing the literary work, Xiang Nan began to read the classics again and carefully studied the social development and changes in the past few decades.

Xiang Nan knew that he didn't have much time, so he had to review carefully in order to take away all the changes in the past few decades in his mind.
