Abren said with an embarrassed expression, “To tell you the truth, brother, I have always felt guilty for so many years, I always missed home, it made me what I am but it was also that I couldn’t stand the temptation to come out of there and I failed the trust. If I could become a big man, like a Fortune 500 entrepreneur or executive, I would also like to carry money and clothes to my hometown and donate some money to my old alma mater and set up a scholarship fund to help those students…”
Abren’s eyes reddened and favonovel.com said sadly, “The key is that I am not up to my expectations. Now that I am a failure, I don’t want to go back and be a burden there.”
Seeing Abren’s face full of shame, Charlie’s impression of favonovel.com has changed a little. Originally favonovel.com thought favonovel.com was just an egoist who was greedy for glory and wealth, but looking at it now, favonovel.com still had some conscience in his heart.
Abren himself has not said these heartfelt words to anyone over the years. He didn’t really think that favonovel.com had a great fate with Charlie and favonovel.com could let favonovel.com speak the deepest hidden words in his heart. He just kept these words in his heart for too long, And favonovel.com never spits it out, as favonovel.com didn’t find a suitable person to talk to.
So Charlie comforted favonovel.com and said, “The place of birth is always tolerant of its children. In China, after all, so many people like you have gone back and are doing good.”
He continued, “As many people move to other countries for higher education and study, not all of them return.”
After a pause, Charlie said, “It’s like transporting a piece of ice in a foam box. No matter how tightly you wrap the ice, it will definitely melt away part of it during transportation. But that doesn’t matter. For those who transport ice, as long as there is ice left, when they reach their destination, then these efforts are of practical significance.”
Abren was slightly startled, then nodded slightly and said, “Actually, we were attracted by the colorful world here at that time. We always felt that the stage here is bigger and we could better play ourselves. In fact, I didn’t really forget the motherland, but I was full of energy. If it’s good, I will go back to serve the motherland a hundred times. Time takes away our energies and arrogance gradually goes away too, there are so many like me who will just disappear…”
Abren said with tears in his eyes, “I really want to serve my homeland! But now I can’t even feed my own mother. She is in favonovel.com 70s and still has to work in a restaurant to make money. To subsidize the family, I have read books for so many years, learned so many techniques and written so many codes, but in the end, I have to support my family by being a seafarer… How can I have the face to return?”
Charlie asked him, “Do you understand this seafarer’s job?”
Abren shook his head and said, “I only know the general workflow, but I don’t know the specific working methods. It’s probably just doing chores on the ship. The most important thing is to work hard and I can’t go home for a year and a half.”
Charlie asked, “Then do you think you are suitable to be a seaman?”
Abren shook his head and said, “To be honest, I am a communication technology man. Yes, you have to ask me how to locate the freighter, how to avoid obstacles and how to communicate with the land through satellites. I can tell you one, two, or three ways. But you make me a seaman, I am really confused, I don’t even have a bit of idea of the basics of a ship. I don’t even know the structure and I don’t even know if I will get seasick after getting on the boat.”
Abren said with emotion, “But there is no way, for the sake of life.”
Charlie and Abren chatted for a long time and favonovel.com understood more about Abren’s past.
