However, Shen Zhuru was very displeased: "You are such a good company, so you resign as soon as you say you want to. Even if you don't resign, if you take such a long leave, by the time you come back, your position will have been taken by someone else. You are such a pig." !What are you thinking? Those are not Chang Xing’s parents. Even if they are Chang Xing’s parents, it’s enough if Chang Xing goes back. What’s the use of you going back?”
"Although Master is not Chang Xing's parents, in Chang Xing's mind, perhaps even his biological parents cannot be replaced. For me, Chang Xing has paid so much, and Master has also paid so much. Now it's my turn to pay, shouldn't I Is there any reason to escape? We are husband and wife! If I can't be by his side when he needs me most, I will never feel at ease in my life." Wu Wanyi said.
"Son, dad is on your side this time. Go back. Don't think about anything. Your brother will send you back. Otherwise, if you take Chang Xing with you, I won't be able to rest assured." Wu Duming said firmly. .
"Wu Duming! Are you crazy?" Shen Zhuru looked at Wu Duming dissatisfied.
Wu Duming glared at Shen Zhuru: "Long hair, short knowledge! You know you are only interested in profit! Do you know that eighty or ninety percent of the reason why our family is where we are today is thanks to Chang Xing. You Do you think that just with Wanyi's university diploma, you can enter such a good department in the education system? Can it be so smooth? Can Xucheng have the life he has now? I can't be as valued as I am now. I thought about it carefully. Like I am not the only researcher of my level in our institute, there are ten or eight who can be found. Why can I get to where I am now? The help from above is very important. I have nothing to do with it. Why do I always get there at critical moments? , always helpful? Later I found out that it was because my family has a good son-in-law. All the smart heads in the city are interested in Chang Xing's reputation. Don't think that Chang Xing doesn't have a bad temper and can be rounded or flattened by you. He I know better than anyone else that once I let him feel cold, there is no way to get it back."
"Dad, thank you." Wu Wanyi did not expect that her father, who was usually tolerant to her mother, would stand up for her at a critical moment, and she was extremely grateful.
"Son, it should be. This is the most difficult time for Chang Xing. You are his wife and should be by his side. Chang Xing has been dependent on the old Taoist priest since he was a child. The old Taoist priest is more important to him than his own life. You go back and enlighten him properly so that he can get out of the pain. If there is something that you can't bear, just call and dad will come and help you." Wu Duming said.
Shen Zhuru was severely refuted by her husband for a while, and she felt aggrieved and cried all night. When Wu Wanyi left, she became quiet.
Wu Wanyi originally wanted to say a few words to her, but Wu Duming stopped her.
"Don't wake her up, or she'll have to make trouble again."
Wu Xucheng drove the lumber shop's small four-wheeler over: "Sister, get in the car. Chang Qing, come and hold me."
Wu Duming sent Wu Wanyi and others to the train station. Wu Duming told Wu Xucheng: "Xucheng, you must send Wanyi and Changqing to Xianji Bridge properly. See if there is anything to help over there. There are many. I'll stay here for a few days and I'll keep an eye on things here for you. If anything happens, call back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry. I've always wanted to visit my brother-in-law's hometown, but I didn't expect that I didn't go there until now. My sister and Chang Qing have been handed over to me. I will definitely send them to my brother-in-law's house safely." Wu Xucheng carried most of his things in the In his own hands, Wu Duming hugged Chang Qing and kissed Chang Qing on the face a few times.
Chang Qing woke up too early and didn't fully wake up.
Not long after Wu Wanyi walked out of the house, Shen Zhuru climbed up from the bed. In fact, she had figured it out a long time ago, but she just couldn't save her face. In her heart, she really wanted to give her daughter and grandson a gift. Seeing Wu Wanyi and her group walking away, Shen Zhuru Ru felt bad in her heart.
After getting off the train at Qingshui Railway Station, Wu Wanyi was already very tired. Wu Xucheng had to take care of the large and small boxes of luggage, so naturally he couldn't take care of Wu Wanyi's mother and son. Chang Qing slept all the way and didn't wake up when they arrived at the station. Wu Wanyi had to carry Chang Qing on her back. Chang Qing is quite tall now, and Wu Wanyi is having a hard time carrying her back.
"Sister, can't you just wake this brat up? Don't spoil him." Wu Xucheng said with a frown.
"This child has taken such a long train ride and is already tired. Let him sleep a little longer. He is still growing," Wu Wanyi said.
"Okay, okay, just pamper your son." Wu Xucheng said helplessly.
Wu Wanyi carried Chang Qing on her back and struggled to get out of the train following the bustling crowd.
Wu Xucheng looked after the package and had to worry about Wu Wanyi and her son.
Just as he was about to leave the station, he saw Chang Xing striding over.
"Wanyi!" Chang Xing waved to Wu Wanyi.
"Brother-in-law!" Wu Xucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and put all the packages in his hands on the ground.
Chang Xing seemed not to have seen Wu Xucheng, and strode past him. He reached out and took Chang Qing from Wu Wanyi's hand: "Are you tired? Come on, the car is waiting outside."
"Why are you here? Master, who is taking care of you?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Master is worried about you, so follow me to Qingshui to greet you." Chang Xing said.
"Master, are you okay now?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"It's fine now. But this time when I came back, something seemed wrong." Chang Xing's expression immediately showed a hint of sadness.
"Don't worry. When the old man reaches this age, his health will get a little worse. It's not a big deal. Let's pay more attention. Master will definitely live a long life." Wu Wanyi said.
Chang Xing nodded: "Let's go out first. Master knew that Chang Qing was coming back, and he was so excited that he couldn't even sleep. He told him not to follow him, he has to come."
"It's all my fault. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have been separated from us for so long." Wu Wanyi said apologetically.
"How can I blame you? Master has always praised you in front of the villagers. Please behave cheerfully in front of Master later, otherwise Master will think that I have made you unhappy." Chang Xing said.
Wu Xucheng quit: "Brother-in-law, sister, you two are going too far. I mentioned so many things, but you just didn't see it. It's a blessing that I worked so hard to send my sister and Chang Qing back."
Chang Xing smiled and said: "Xucheng, I just want to see how long you can endure it. Oh, you really can't keep calm."
Wu Wanyi also smiled: "You have the nerve to complain about such a small thing."
"There's really no benefit in doing things for you two. I won't be too lazy to run errands for you two in the future," Wu Xucheng said.
"You're such a tall person, you still have the nerve to complain when you take such a small thing. Put the thing down, I'll do it with just one hand." Zhang Dalei reached out and took the thing from Wu Xucheng's hand.
This frightened Wu Xucheng. He thought he was here to steal his luggage: "What are you doing? Are you robbing it in the open?"
"Xucheng, give it to him. He's from our village. Do you think I really don't care about you? Dalei, Jin Lin, take the things and lead the way." Chang Xing said.
"Okay." Zhang Dalei and Xiao Jinlin said in unison.
"With so many people here, can we sit down?" Wu Wanyi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. My car is big." Chang Xing said.
Xiao Jinlin and Zhang Dalei drove over the Dongfeng Motor that was loading goods from the machinery factory. The Dongfeng Motor installed a tarpaulin and placed stools inside. They were tied and fixed with ropes. The sitting position is not much different from that of a long-distance bus. The train arrives in Qingshui.
It was already night. The shuttle bus had stopped long ago. If you didn’t drive, you would have to wait until dawn before you could go to Xianji Bridge. The area near the train station was full of people and it was not particularly safe at night. So Chang Xing received the call and knew
When Wu Wanyi and the others arrived in Qingshui, they drove over in a Dongfeng car with Xiao Jinlin and Zhang Dalei.
When we arrived at the exit, we saw the old man waiting anxiously.
"Master!" Chang Qing, who didn't know when he woke up, recognized Lao Dao at a glance, broke free from Chang Xing's hands, and ran over quickly.
Wu Xucheng looked at Chang Qing blankly, pointed and said: "This brat was definitely pretending just now. Sister, look, this kid has been spoiled by you."
"I'm happy!" Wu Wanyi smiled.
"Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their sons." Wu Xucheng said.
"Are you talking about our mother?" Wu Wanyi held Chang Xing's hand and kept looking at Chang Xing.
Wu Xucheng said with a sad face: "It seems that the person in our family who was beaten the most since childhood was not me. I always thought that I was the child of my father and someone else."
"Actually, I always thought you picked it up." Wu Wanyi giggled.
The old Taoist hugged Chang Qing who rushed towards him, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Master, I miss you so much!" Chang Qing threw herself into Lao Tao's arms.
The old Taoist wanted to pick up Chang Qing as before, but Chang Xing quickly stopped him.
"Master, Chang Qing has grown so big now, it's better to let him go on his own."
The old Taoist hugged you for a while, feeling a little strenuous. After hearing what Chang Xing said, he put Chang Qing down: "Chang Qing, you have grown so big. Master can no longer hold you."
"Master, when I grow up, I will carry Master." Chang Qing said.
"Okay, okay. Chang Qing is the most filial. Are you hungry? Master, there is something to eat here," the old Taoist said.
"I'm hungry." Chang Qing took the food from Lao Tao's hand and started eating it.
Watching Chang Qing take the food into his mouth, the old Taoist was extremely happy: "I know Chang Qing likes to eat this. Don't worry, don't worry, there are still many here, Master. After you finish eating, you can go to your father's place."
take."
Chang Qing nodded repeatedly.
Wu Wanyi looked at Lao Dao from time to time, and the more she looked at it, the more sad she became. Lao Dao had indeed changed a lot this year, and was very different from previous years. She secretly wished Lao Dao a healthy life, otherwise, if something unexpected happened to Lao Dao
, Chang Xing's heart may be broken.
The old Taoist's face was full of smiles, and Wu Wanyi could only see joy on the old Taoist's face. She was even happier than before when she came back.
After a few hours of jolting in the car, we returned to Xianji Bridge. The old Taoist said that the conditions at the foot of the mountain were better. Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing were back, so it was more convenient to live at home in Xianji Bridge. After all, Wu Wanyi and Chang Xing were
I got married at my home in Xianjiqiao. I have lived here for many years, so I should be more accustomed to it.
Chang Xing always obeyed the old Taoist's request: "You can live wherever the master says. It's also good to live in Xianji Bridge, so that the master can walk more with the old people in Xianji Bridge."
This time, the old man didn't ask Wu Wanyi how long she planned to come back to live, nor did she urge Wu Wanyi to go back to Donghai to work. The family just got together every day.
"Are you really willing to give up everything in the East China Sea?" Chang Xing asked.
Wu Wanyi nodded: "Chang Xing, I really regret it now. If I didn't go to college and work in Donghai, maybe everything would be different from what it is now. Master might be able to overcome the hurdle of refining."
often
Every peck is destiny. Don't blame yourself too much. Master has never complained about you. When a family is together, someone always has to pay. How can you care about everything?"
"But when I see Master become so old, I feel heartbroken. Chang Xing, let's treat Master well so that Master can live healthily. I'm tired of the days of intrigues in the Donghai Agency. Come back here.
, I feel that the whole person is much more relaxed." Wu Wanyi said.
Wu Xucheng stayed at Xianji Bridge for a few days and then returned to Donghai.
When Wu's father and Wu's mother learned that Wu Wanyi was determined to give up her job and return to live in Xianjiqiao with all her heart, they had different attitudes. One sighed and the other lamented. One was relieved and the other was resentful.
The Chang Xing family is enjoying family happiness. The old man is happy every day and seems to be several years younger than before. On the other hand, the Chang Xing family's neighbor, the old branch secretary Zhou Maolin, is in frail health and seems to be dying soon.
When the Chang Xing family went to visit, Zhou Maolin, who was seriously ill, actually sat up.
"Old Taoist Priest, Chang Xing, you all came to see me, and the stone weighing on my heart finally fell. I know that you have always blamed me for being selfish, and almost ruined the great future of Xianji Bridge because of selfishness. This is my
It's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. I shouldn't have done such a thing!" Zhou Maolin burst into tears and knelt on the ground.
"Maolin, don't be like this. Your contribution to Xianji Bridge's prosperity today is not small. Although you have made some small mistakes, they have all passed. Now Xianji Bridge is developing very well. In the future
It will get better and better. Your disease is caused by your heavy thoughts. If you take off this burden, you can cure the disease with medicine." The old Taoist said.
Zhou Maolin smiled: "When I'm like this, I can see life and death clearly. I'm about to die. I have no regrets if I can hear you say this about me before I'm alive. Today I want to drink.
"
Zhou Maolin's mother-in-law, Huang Yuchun, hurriedly went to prepare. She knew that Zhou Maolin had been reluctant to stay in the world because of this depression. Now the knot has been untied, and the time of departure is not far away.
Chang Xing's family stayed at Zhou Maolin's house for dinner, and Zhou Maolin happily sent Chang Xing's family out.
Huang Yuchun hurriedly called his son and daughter back. After breakfast the next morning, Zhou Maolin basked in the sun in the yard. After talking to his family, he said he was tired and went into the house to take a nap. Zhou Maolin's son and daughter did not dare to take a step.
Leave.
"Old Taoist Priest!"
The old Taoist heard someone shouting outside and walked out.
"Maolin?"
"Old Taoist Priest, farewell forever!"
"Well, I have to go after all. It's a good journey."
Zhou Maolin waved to Lao Tao, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Not long after, the sound of crying rang out from Zhou Maolin's house.
