Chapter 119: Meaningful

Every time her parents received benefits from her, they would be much more amiable to her than usual. In her previous life, because she craved this trace of warmth, she worked hard to earn money, putting her already fragile body under more stress.

However, when she was lying in bed with cancer, instead of her family’s concern, what she received was their anticipation to divide her inheritance after her death!

historical Therefore, she was used to being busy. Only by being busy could she feel at ease.

Yu Bing looked at Song Li and asked seriously, “Then what do you like?”

Song Li tilted her head and thought about it for a long time. “I don’t think there’s anything I like in particular.”

In the past, she had gone to school every day and didn’t have to think about anything. Now that she was suddenly asked this question after graduation, she felt a little lost.

Yu Bing asked again, “Then if you don’t want to be too idle, do you want to be very busy?”

Song Li was stunned for a moment. Then, she frowned and replied, “No, I just want to find something meaningful to do.”

Yu Bing smiled and said, “Every job has meaning, but it depends on what kind of purpose you want to pursue. Although working in the supply and marketing club is very idle, the purpose of this job is to let everyone buy things. For example, the cleaners. Their existence allows us to live in a clean and tidy environment. There are also teachers, doctors, and police officers. The purposes of these jobs are to teach, save lives, and uphold justice.”

When Wang Yun heard this, she agreed. “Yu Bing, you’re right. Whether it’s a big or small job, as long as you do it well, you’ll be serving the people and contributing to society. It just depends on which position you want to contribute through.”

After hearing Yu Bing and Wang Yun’s words, Song Li felt that her future plan was much clearer. “Then I want to become a doctor! Although other jobs are also meaningful, saving lives makes me feel more accomplished!”

In the end, Song Li told President Song her thoughts. President Song looked at Song Li with relief.

Out of a parent’s love for his children, President Song definitely wanted her to choose a job that was high-paying yet easy, and closer to home. Studying medicine was very demanding, but he was happy to see Song Li learn to be independent.

After all, one’s life was one’s own. The company of one’s parents only lasted for a phase. One had to rely on oneself to explore one’s path in life.

Because Wang Yun had acknowledged Yu Bing as her godsister, Yu Bing definitely couldn’t forget to give the Wang family a New Year’s gift.

According to tradition, the second day of the Chinese New Year was when a married daughter returned to her house to pay her respects. If she returned on the first day of the Chinese New Year, it would be inauspicious. Although the establishment of the new regime dispelled this feudal superstition, most people still chose to return the next day as usual.

However, the Wang family was a little special. After Wang Yun’s mother passed away, her father didn’t remarry. Every year, the number of relatives who came to visit the house was the highest during these two days. The two men, her father and brother, were too busy at home, so Wang Yun would go back to help during the day on the first and second day of the Spring Festival every year.

This year, Wang Yun specifically came to the Song family’s house to set off together. Yu Bing came early. After more than an hour, friends and family of the Song family began to come one after another.

Seeing this, Yu Bing said goodbye to the Song family and left first. The Song family packed many local specialties and candy biscuits for Yu Bing and even stuffed a can of malted milk. Malted milk was a precious nutritious product in this era. It could be seen how much the Song family cared about Yu Bing.

Yu Bing came with a pile of New Year gifts and left with a pile of gifts.

Wang Yun rode her bicycle back to the Wang family’s house.

The guests of the Wang family had already arrived. There were two groups of guests. One was an uncle from the countryside who had brought his wife and children to see Wang Yun’s father, Wang Qing. The other family was Wang Qing’s subordinate’s.

When Wang Yun saw her aunt, she frowned imperceptibly. Then, she led Yu Bing into the house to introduce him. Yu Bing greeted everyone gregariously.

The gift Yu Bing brought was the same as the one she gave the Song family. Because of Yu Bing and Wang Yun’s relationship, logically speaking, the New Year’s gift for the Wang family should be more important than the Song family’s. In addition, Wang Wei had helped her secure the loan from the bank previously, but Yu Bing and the Song family interacted more frequently. After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Bing finally decided to prepare according to the same standards.

Yu Bing took this opportunity to thank Wang Wei. The two of them spoke alone on the balcony.

In the Wang family’s kitchen.

Wang Yun was preparing fruits and snacks when her aunt walked into the kitchen. She said to Wang Yun seriously, “Xiao Yun, why did you acknowledge a sister?! You’re pure-hearted and kind, but since we’re family, don’t blame me for being blunt. You’re just gullible. How can you believe an outsider so easily?!”
