The old Taoist who was once a heavy drinker drank one or two glasses of wine and went to bed. Chang Xing, Jin Lin, and Da Lei were left drinking until late at night. Jin Lin drank so much that he fell asleep on the table, while Da Lei drank
Lei Ze was so drunk that he slipped under the table. With Chang Xing's cultivation level, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but he couldn't solve a thousand worries by getting drunk.
Chang Xing's return this time was not without reason. Although he had taken the elixir, he had not been able to break through for several years. Instead, he was getting older and older.
In the past, if Chang Xing came back alone, he would be urged to go back quickly by the old Taoist. But this time, the old Taoist did not ask Chang Xing when he would return to the East China Sea. Instead, he talked about Chang Xing's life experience. Chang Xing believed that the old Taoist did not mention it casually.
This topic has changed, but it has a deeper meaning. Chang Xing did not dare to think further, but there are some things that cannot be ignored. When Chang Xing became a father and began to be responsible for a family and plan for the future of his children, Chang Xing
Understand the responsibilities that you should bear as an adult man.
He fished Zhang Dalei out from under the table, then hooked Xiao Jinlin, threw them together on the bed in the guest room, and covered the cup. The temperature in the mountains is very low at night, so if you don't cover yourself with a quilt, you will definitely catch a cold after one night.
.
After Chang Xing settled Dalei and Jin Lin, he walked out of the house alone and came to the rock that had been flattened to build the house.
In the misty night sky, the bright moon shines like water, pouring on the vast wilderness. A light mist is transpiring on the cliffs.
The scenes with Lao Dao when he was a child seemed like yesterday. Before he knew it, Chang Xing burst into tears. He didn't know how many years he had not shed tears. But this time, he couldn't help it.
The crow of the big rooster at Xianji Bridge came from afar, breaking the silence of the night.
Chang Xing actually stood on this rock all night, with dew already on his hair and a layer of white dew on his eyebrows. Chang Xing was also awakened by the crowing of the rooster. He waved his hand, and the moisture all over his body disappeared.
His body was swept away. At Changxing's level, it was impossible for the cold air to invade his body. Therefore, even if he was exposed to the wind and dew all night, there would be no problem.
Jin Lin finally woke up from his sleep and found two people sleeping in the Patriarch Temple like stacked Arhats. He pushed Da Lei with his hand: "Da Lei, wake up!"
"Don't disturb me, I'll sleep for a while." Da Lei soon snored loudly.
"Dalei, if you keep pretending to sleep, I'll stuff a sock into your mouth," Jin Lin said.
Da Lei stood up in a hurry: "I drank so much wine last night that I don't even remember how I got into bed."
"Needless to say, Chang Xing must have thrown him on the bed." Jin Lin said with a smile.
"I had a dream last night. I dreamed of sleeping with fairies. Who would know that I would sleep with you." Da Lei said with disgust.
"You didn't chew up my socks at night, right?" Jin Lin said with a smile.
"Get out!" Da Lei was very angry.
"Are you awake? When you wake up, come over and drink some millet porridge. You guys drank so much last night. Drinking some millet porridge can nourish your stomach." Chang Xing said.
"Where's Master, has Master eaten?" Dalei asked.
Jin Lin didn't make any move: "Let's wait for Master. We are not very hungry."
"Master had breakfast and got up early in the morning. Today, after breakfast, I will go to Xianji Bridge with you," Chang Xing said.
"Chang Xing, if you need anything, just leave it to us," Jin Lin said.
"I want to go to the village for a walk, can I leave it to you?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
"Then there's nothing I can do." Jin Lin laughed.
One person drank some millet porridge, and the three of them went down the mountain together.
"Chang Xing, Master, this year is different from previous years." When they were approaching Xianji Bridge, Xiao Jinlin pulled Chang Xing back.
Zhang Dalei also said: "Yes, Master has aged so fast this year. At one point, I felt that a gust of wind could blow him away."
"How come I don't know? In the past, when I came back, he rushed me back to the East China Sea. This time when I came back, he actually talked about my life experience." Chang Xing felt a little panicked.
Xiao Jinlin patted Chang Xing on the shoulder: "Older people, as long as we are sincere, don't let him have any regrets."
"I want Wanyi and Chang Qing to come back." Chang Xing said.
"It should be." Zhang Dalei said.
In Xianji Bridge, only the village headquarters and the machinery factory have telephones. Xiao Jinlin and Zhang Dalei are both the main persons in charge of the machinery factory and the main persons in charge of the Xianji Bridge brigade. Zhou Maolin handed over the two most important places in Xianji Bridge.
To Xiao Jinlin and Zhang Dalei.
Zhou Maolin knows that Chang Xing will not care if the future of Xianji Bridge is left to others. Now, the only two people who can establish a relationship with Xianji Bridge are these two. Without Chang Xing’s help, the Xianji Bridge Brigade
Sooner or later, Xianji Bridge will fall. After all, Xianji Bridge is too remote. No matter how early it starts, it will be difficult to maintain it. Sooner or later, it will be overtaken by others. But as long as Chang Xing helps, Xianji Bridge will not fall too far.
Far.
Xiao Jinlin brought Chang Xing to the village headquarters. The conditions here are now much better than before. The office obviously has a modern atmosphere. Xiao Jinlin and Zhang Dalei have been to Xiangjiang, and the furnishings in the office look like company offices in Xiangjiang.
Chang Xing dialed the number and waited for a while before Wu Wanyi received the call.
"Are you here? Master, is your health okay?" Wu Wanyi said.
The phone fell into silence for a while, and Chang Xing did not answer quickly. Wu Wanyi's heart immediately skipped a beat, and she had an ominous premonition.
"Not good. I may have to stay at Xianji Bridge." Chang Xing said.
"Then you stay at Xianji Bridge. Do you want Chang Qing and I to come back?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"I was just about to tell you. Master is very different this year. I miss you so much. Wanyi, do you think you can bring Chang Qing back to stay for a while? It may take a long time. I don't want Master to have regrets..." Chang Xing
My throat felt a little stiff and I couldn't continue what I said next.
"Okay. I'll take a long leave. If it doesn't work, I'll resign." Wu Wanyi said.
Wu Wanyi was answering the phone in the office, and her voice became louder and louder due to excitement. Many people in the office heard what Wu Wanyi said to Chang Xing. They were all shocked by Wu Wanyi's words. Wu Wanyi has been here for several years, and she has been calm.
She is rising step by step, neither too fast nor too slow. She has a university diploma and a solid background. She is the young cadre with the most room for advancement among them. Coupled with her strong ability and good image, her future is limitless. There is no limit to her future.
I thought she actually said she wanted to resign.
"Okay." Chang Xing didn't think too much about it anymore. He was too helpless at this time. In this world, there was only one person Chang Xing cared about most before, and that was Lao Dao. Later, Wanyi and Chang
Qing. Chang Xing is different from other people. Others have parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandparents, and relatives of various blood relationships. Chang Xing has nothing but his master. Even though his master was unreliable when he was a child.
, is also the only place where he can get warmth. Therefore, Chang Xing cherishes this emotion more than anyone else.
Chang Xing never thought that one day Lao Dao might leave. It was not that Lao Dao had never left before, but after all, he still retained a glimmer of hope.
"Chang Xing, don't worry. Master has always been in good health and will be fine. Just wait for us to come back." Wu Wanyi could tell that Chang Xing was in an extremely low mood. From the time she knew Chang Xing to now, she had never seen Chang Xing like this before.
She had been depressed. She could even hear the sobbing on the other end of the phone. Wu Wanyi felt her heart aching, and she felt a little regretful.
If she hadn't insisted on taking the college entrance examination, Chang Xing would not have brought her children to Donghai. With Chang Xing by his side, Master's cultivation might be able to improve and extend his lifespan again. But because he wanted to realize his ideal, he
Keep the family apart.
Especially in the past few years, when Master returned to the Ancestral Temple alone, Chang Xing wanted to go back to Xianji Bridge so much. If he could give up everything and go back with Chang Xing and Chang Qing, might the result be different? Why did he never
Didn't you think about Chang Xing? Why didn't you think about Master?
Wu Wanyi blamed herself very much, and suddenly realized that everything she had chased was so insignificant compared with what she was about to lose.
"Chang Xing! Wait for me! I'll be back tomorrow!" Wu Wanyi shouted into the phone hysterically, and then hurriedly put down the phone.
When everyone looked at Wu Wanyi again, they found that Wu Wanyi was already in tears.
Wu Yuting hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Wanyi, what happened at home?"
"Sister Wu, did I do something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Wu Wanyi was a little incoherent.
"Did you do something wrong? Wanyi, don't worry, tell me what happened at home?" Wu Yuting quickly comforted her. But it was of no use. Wu Wanyi ran out quickly.
Wu Wanyi ran directly to the director's office and walked in without knocking on the door.
Sheng Haoyuan looked dissatisfied at Wu Wanyi who walked in hastily and frowned.
"Sheng Chu, I want to resign! I, I want to go back." Wu Wanyi spoke too quickly and was a little unclear because she spoke too hastily.
"Is there something going on at home? I'll give you leave. Go back as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, go back and tell the office. Everyone has an idea." Sheng Haoyuan could tell that something big had happened.
"I, I'm not asking for leave, I want to resign. I won't be able to come back in the future," Wu Wanyi said.
"You go back first and deal with it slowly if there is anything you can't handle. If you can't handle it, we will find a way to help you solve it. Resigning is not a trivial matter, can it be done so casually? Our unit is not something that others can just come to. How rare is this job? How much is it?
People who want to come in can't. You are the young cadre we are dealing with. You have a high degree of education and your future development is limitless." The reason why Sheng Haoyuan persuaded her so patiently was mainly because of Wu Wanyi's background in the city. There are many difficult things to handle in the office.
If the matter is left in Wu Wanyi's hands, it can be solved smoothly no matter where she goes to any unit in the city.
If such a person leaves, there will be no one to deal with the difficult things in the future. People in the city will still wonder if you, Sheng Haoyuan, squeezed him away? You, Sheng Haoyuan, can't see a young man who is more capable than you, so why not?
They forced others to resign. When the time came, Sheng Haoyuan couldn't even cry even if he wanted to. As an old guy with no hope of promotion and waiting for a smooth retirement, Sheng Haoyuan didn't want to offend such a person.
"My family matters can only be resolved by resigning. I will leave Donghai City tomorrow. It may take a long time to come back. It may be a few months, it may be a few years, or I may even never return to Donghai again." Wu Wanyi said.
"Are you leaving Donghai? Are you going to Xiangjiang? What happened?" Sheng Haoyuan immediately became alert. Did Wu Wanyi's family want to defect? Didn't they hear any rumors?
"My lover's master may...may...be leaving. I want to take the child back to see the old man on his last journey." Wu Wanyi said.
"That's right. You don't have to resign, just ask for leave. You are too young and have never experienced this kind of thing. When the elderly are old, you should go back to accompany them. But you don't have to stay at home all the time. You
Let's go back for a visit. It's okay to go back then." Sheng Haoyuan was very puzzled.
Wu Wanyi shook her head: "I may not return to Donghai. From now on, I will be wherever my lover is."
Wu Wanyi had a hunch that if she didn't hold on to the line between her and Chang Xing now, and the master really left, the line between her and Chang Xing might break.
"You go back first. I will apply for a holiday for you. If you really decide not to come, you will make a decision then. Maybe you will change your mind in the future?" Sheng Haoyuan said.
Wu Yuting had followed her a long time ago and stood outside the door to eavesdrop. When she heard what Sheng Haoyuan said, she quickly walked in: "Sheng Chu has said so, Wanyi, just listen to Sheng Chu. You go back first. Sister, please help.
You apply for leave. If things at home are settled, you can come back and go to work. If you really can't come, it's not too late to resign then."
"Young people are impatient and act emotionally. Okay, that's it, you go and do your own business now. Wu Yuting, let your comrades in the department take over what Wanyi is doing."
"Okay. Shengchu." Wu Yuting quickly pulled Wu Wanyi out. Wu Wanyi originally wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Wu Wanyi rushed to Changqing School and asked for leave from Chang Qing. She told the teacher about the situation. Unexpectedly, the teacher in the school was very talkative and said that if Chang Qing really couldn't go to school, she could just take the exam at the end of the semester.
Anyway, it doesn't make much difference whether a student like Chang Qing stays in school or not.
Wu Wanyi didn't pay attention to understand the weirdness of the teacher's words. Anyway, she just asked for leave. Wu Wanyi went home and asked Wu Xucheng to book tickets for her and Chang Qing.
Everyone in the Wu family was shocked by Wu Wanyi's initiative.
"You finally became a leader in the education system, don't you think it's a pity that you just give up?" Shen Zhuru almost went crazy.
Although Wu Duming felt very sorry, he supported his daughter's decision: "It's time to go back. Although the old Taoist priest is not your in-laws, he is the closest person to Chang Xing. At this time, you should stay with Chang Xing."
