You can also make contributions to the country as a town mayor now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two practiced for about an hour, and Elder Yu basically mastered the movements. He was also a bit tired. Su Xinghui said, \"Elder Yu, then let's rest today. I will come to consolidate it for you tomorrow. I also drew movement decomposition diagrams last night. After I leave, you can also practice by yourself according to these movement diagrams. After practicing for a few days, you will be familiar with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu said, \"Don't keep calling me Elder Yu. It sounds awkward. You should call me grandfather like Little Zhi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu's words made Su Xinghui's eyes a bit moist. Su Wenjun lost his father when he was young, and Su Xinghui had never seen his grandfather. He secretly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and called out respectfully, \"Grandfather!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu nodded with satisfaction, \"Then let's go and discuss calligraphy and painting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded, \"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi, Yu Ruoqiu, and Lu Xiaoya saw that Elder Yu and Su Xinghui were talking happily, and they were all very happy. They also saw Su Xinghui follow Elder Yu into the study, so they couldn't help but follow in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Elder Yu entered the study, he picked up a few of his own calligraphy and paintings and asked Su Xinghui to comment on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui looked at those calligraphy and paintings, and as he expected, these calligraphy and paintings were at most the level of amateur enthusiasts. The brushwork was childish, and the layout was also very immature. However, there was one advantage, which was that Elder Yu's brushwork was vigorous, penetrating the back of the paper, and the brush tip carried the heroism of fighting on the battlefield. One could tell at a glance that the writer was a great general who had experienced many battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu looked at Su Xinghui carefully, wanting to listen to Su Xinghui's evaluation well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, Su Xinghui said, \"Grandfather Yu, forgive me for being blunt, your calligraphy and paintings are indeed still at the beginner level. However, your calligraphy and paintings are different from those beginners. The brushwork is very remarkable, with the battlefield heroism of many years of military career. One can tell at a glance that it is the masterpiece of a great general!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu laughed, \"Fine, you are much more honest than many high-level cadres, daring to speak the truth. Many high-level cadres see my calligraphy and paintings and praise them endlessly, saying my calligraphy is better than Wang Xizhi's and my painting is better than Wu Daozi's, wanting to ask me for calligraphy and paintings, and also wanting to send some remuneration. Only you dare to say my calligraphy and paintings are at the beginner level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui couldn't help but be embarrassed. Actually, he also wanted to say something nice, but his face wasn't thick enough to that extent, so he still said some truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu said, \"How could I not know my own level? Let alone better than Wang Xizhi and Wu Daozi, it would be good if my level could reach one ten-thousandth of theirs. So, for those who ask for calligraphy and paintings, I not only don't write for them, but I will also severely criticize them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu's words immediately made Su Xinghui respect him. He is indeed worthy of being an old-generation proletarian revolutionary, with high integrity. Although he is over eighty years old, his thinking is still so clear, his mind is still so sober, and he will not be confused by a few flattering words. It is truly respectable and admirable!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Elder Yu smiled, \"Xinghui, then can you help me write a piece of calligraphy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded, \"Fine, then I will show my ugliness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui spread out the rice paper on the desk himself, and Lu Xiaoya ground the ink for him. Su Xinghui picked up the brush and pondered for a moment, then wrote a poem, \"Yong Yu Le: Thoughts on the Past at Jingkou Beigu Pavilion,\" by Xin Qiji, a hero against the Jin in the Northern Song Dynasty, on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A thousand years of mountains and rivers, heroes cannot find Sun Zhongmou's place. Dance pavilions and song stages, the romance is always blown away by the rain and wind. The setting sun, grass and trees, ordinary alleys, people say Jinu once lived here. Thinking of that year, golden spears and iron horses, the spirit swallowed ten thousand miles like a tiger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuanjia was hasty, sealing the wolf and living in Xu, winning a panicked look back to the north. Forty-three years, still remembering in the gaze, the beacon fire in Yangzhou road. How can I look back, under the Buddha Li Temple, a piece of divine crow and community drums. Who can ask: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xinghui fell the last stroke, Elder Yu also finished reciting this eternal masterpiece. This poem also evoked Elder Yu's heroism back then. He laughed loudly, \"Thinking of that year, golden spears and iron horses, the spirit swallowed ten thousand miles like a tiger! Good, good, good, this calligraphy is written well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui wrote the inscription at the back: For the elegant correction of the old General Yu, the junior Su Xinghui respectfully presents, in the Jiaxu year, Dingchou month, Jiachen day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said to Elder Yu, \"Grandfather, I didn't bring my name seal with me, so it can only be like this today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu nodded, \"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy. This comparison shows it, it is written much better than my calligraphy. I should be the one to give you some remuneration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled, \"You are joking. You are my grandfather now. I write a few words for you, and you still give me remuneration?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Yu laughed loudly. After laughing, he carefully put away the calligraphy Su Xinghui wrote and said to Su Xinghui, \"I'll go and rest for a while. You and Xiaoya will still eat here at noon. By the way, Little Zhi, Little Qiu, your parents will also come back for dinner at noon today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Elder Yu's words, Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu looked at each other. Their parents are also coming back for dinner at noon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu's father, Yu Yan'an, is the eldest younger brother of Yu Jingyan, the wife of Gu Shanmin, and was born during the Yan'an period, hence the name. He is in his fifties now and is the Vice Minister and Party Secretary of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a high-level cadre is naturally very busy usually, but he still returns to Elder Yu's house at least once a week to have a meal and visit the old man. This is also the filial piety that children should fulfill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mother, Fan Xinyun, is a deputy division chief of the Ministry of Education. Her work is quite leisurely, and her children are all grown up. She mainly takes care of her husband's daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yan'an is usually quite serious. Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu usually live outside by themselves, just a bit afraid of their father. Today, their parents are coming back for dinner, and they have to see their serious father again, so they can't help but feel a bit uneasy in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ruoqiu has another layer of trouble, which is that every time her parents see her, they will urge her to ask about dating. Her mother will also often help her arrange some blind date objects and let her go on blind dates. The reason why she doesn't like to go home is also to avoid her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it's not to blame her parents for worrying about her. She is twenty-three years old this year and hasn't dated yet. As a girl, it's normal for parents to worry a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that their parents were coming back for dinner, the brother and sister had the idea of escaping again. However, with Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya here today, they had no reason to leave, so they could only bite the bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just past twelve o'clock at noon, Yu Yan'an and Fan Xinyun came back together. Although Yu Yan'an was over fifty, his black hair was combed neatly, making him look much younger than his actual age. He looked very similar to Elder Yu, and his expression was very serious, which couldn't be blamed on Yu Ruizhi for fearing him like a tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xinyun was a graceful and luxurious middle-aged beauty. She must also be over fifty, but she looked like she was only in her forties, wearing some light makeup, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a graceful figure, and long hair tied into a bun. Seeing Fan Xinyun, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya finally knew why Yu Ruoqiu was so beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fan Xinyun were twenty years younger, Yu Ruoqiu would be exactly the same as her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yan'an and his wife first greeted Elder Yu and the old lady, and then looked at Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yan'an was a bit strange. There were not many guests coming to Elder Yu's place, let alone two such young men and women. These two young people looked like friends of his son and daughter. Why would Elder Yu keep them here for lunch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said politely to Yu Yan'an and his wife, \"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Su Xinghui!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaoya also said, \"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Lu Xiaoya!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui didn't think Yu Yan'an would have heard his name, but unexpectedly, Yu Yan'an raised his eyebrows and said, \"You are Su Xinghui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded, \"Yes, I am Su Xinghui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yan'an looked Su Xinghui up and down and said, \"Sure enough, you are heroic and a young talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1683,"2026-06-16T17:50:43.208Z","2026-06-16T17:54:34.477Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ff8423492531a141c1c7a989cc80c448b4aeb26bcedab19eefd05e6b7a6fbcd1","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-558","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-556",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
