The neighbors near Chang Xing's house have all moved out and moved into new, more spacious and bright apartments. But Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing still live in this old house.
Since she lives far away from the furniture factory, Wu Wanyi has to drive for more than an hour to get to the furniture factory. Then after get off work, she has to drive for more than an hour to get home. She spends three or four hours on the road every day. Sometimes, if you are stuck in traffic occasionally, it will take even longer.
Although Wu Wanyi worked very hard, she never thought of moving away from here. The gate of the yard was remodeled and replaced with an automatic gate so that the car could be driven into the yard.
Early in the morning, the mother and son went out early and got into the car together. Wu Wanyi drove to a stall selling breakfast and stopped. Chang Qing opened the car door skillfully, got out and bought breakfast for one person.
One portion. The two of them finished breakfast in the car. Then the car stopped next to the entrance of Changqing School. Changqing picked up her schoolbag and waved to Wu Wanyi: "Mom, drive carefully."
"Hey." Wu Wanyi smiled, started the car and drove to the furniture factory.
Chang Xing's departure made Chang Qing mature much earlier than her peers. She was also more considerate of Wu Wanyi and basically did not need Wu Wanyi to worry about her. In turn, Chang Qing took care of her mother more.
Not long after Wu Wanyi's car drove out, someone stopped Wu Wanyi's car.
This person Wu Wanyi knew was Zhou Shaonan, director of the Donghai Religious Affairs Bureau. Zhou Shaonan's position had been promoted several times.
"Ju Zhou, what's the matter?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Comrade Chang Xing hasn't come back yet?" Zhou Shaonan asked.
Wu Wanyi shook her head: "I have been away for several years and there is no news at all."
"Actually, this is normal." Zhou Shaonan looked around. It was still very early at this time and there were not many people on the road.
So Zhou Shaonan continued, his voice very low: "Actually, this is also normal. It is normal for a monk at Comrade Chang Xing's level to go into seclusion and not show up for ten or eight years. Not to mention Comrade Chang Xing, our bureau
There is a comrade who went into seclusion in the small world and has not seen anyone for ten years. Everyone thought that he had been killed in the small world. Unexpectedly, he came out not long ago and his cultivation level also broke through. At Comrade Chang Xing's level, he should go into seclusion.
, Decades are nothing. I happened to be doing something here and saw your car. I came over to ask about Comrade Chang Xing. If you encounter any difficulties, just call me. What should I say?
He is also a member of the system, so there is no problem in handling small things." Zhou Shaonan was very polite to Wu Wanyi. Over the years since Chang Xing was away, Zhou Shaonan had also contributed a lot to Chang Xing's family.
Wu Wanyi knew that Zhou Shaonan was betting that Chang Xing would come back one day. But he did help a lot. So Wu Wanyi quickly thanked him.
"Okay, you go about your business. Last time you gave me such a good set of furniture, I haven't thanked you properly yet." Zhou Shaonan actually accepted a nice set of mahogany furniture from Wu Wanyi without paying a penny. Religion
The Secretariat is different from other agencies. Acquiring such a set of furniture is actually nothing.
Zhou Shaonan is not short of money. He collected this set of furniture just to make it easier for him to get close to the Chang Xing family. During the holidays, he sent a lot of things to the Chang Xing family. He also helped Wu Wanyi solve many difficult problems. If not
Without his help, this furniture factory really might not be able to survive.
Wu Wanyi's car stopped in a modern-looking factory area. Wu Xucheng just arrived.
"Sister, didn't I tell you not to come over so early? Everything in the furniture factory is on track now. Even if you don't come, nothing will happen. Are you afraid that my brother and I will be corrupted?" Wu Xucheng said with a smile.
"Since we are a formal enterprise, we must act in accordance with the system of a formal enterprise. There is no rule without rules. From now on, you are not allowed to call me sister in the factory. You must call me Mr. Wu." Wu Wanyi glared at Wu Xucheng. This younger brother was still careless in doing things.
Not practical enough.
"I understand, Mr. Wu." Wu Xucheng said.
"How are you doing with the sales channel?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Of course there is no problem with the channels, but the problem is that we can't supply the goods. Our furniture factory's orders can be scheduled until next year. We are a foreign-funded enterprise with a big name. Our furniture is several times more expensive than Donghai's furniture, and we are still being rushed to buy it.
"We not only have good styles, but the most important thing is quality. Sister, oh, Mr. Wu, our production capacity needs to be increased. We need to continue to recruit people," Wu Xucheng said.
"Don't worry. The head office has already ordered the machine and will send it to you soon. There is still a lot of idle space in the factory here. It's time to make use of this idle space." Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"That's good. As long as our output increases, I will visit a few more cities. You don't have to worry about sales. I have been in the lumber business for so many years, and I am very familiar with furniture. I used to do lumber with me.
Nowadays, many business people have switched careers to making furniture. In fact, I don’t even need to go to them, they will take the initiative to ask me. Our furniture is so easy to sell. Once our furniture is approved, we will wait to count the money." Wu Xucheng said.
Wu Wanyi and Wu Xucheng walked towards the office building while talking.
"Sister, has mom often gone to your house to cause trouble for you recently?" Wu Xucheng asked.
"Why didn't you go? I was so annoyed by her." Wu Wanyi said.
"Don't listen to my mother. How could a man as capable as my brother-in-law not come back? He might come back someday," Wu Xucheng said.
"Don't worry, I have my own ideas about your sister. It's useless even if mom stays at my house." Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, it's true that if you can't come back, you can just make a phone call or even write a letter." Wu Xucheng said.
"He went out all the way. If he was in contact with his family all the time, why did he go out? Besides, he was in the middle of nowhere at this time. How to make a phone call? How to send a letter? Could he find a homing pigeon?
Send the message back?" Wu Wanyi said and couldn't help but smile.
"Sister, you said that my brother-in-law has turned into a savage in some deep mountain and old forest at this time, right? Or he went to steal monkey wine and was detained by the monkey king and became the husband of the village." Wu Xucheng said with a smile.
"Look for a fight!" Wu Wanyi hit Wu Xucheng hard on the head.
Wu Xucheng stuck out his tongue.
****
Even in spring, the top of the mountain is still covered with thick ice and snow. The place where Chang Xing meditates has long been covered by wind and snow. Chang Xing's body is covered with thick ice and snow. Chang Xing
Covered in ice and snow, there is no trace at all. Chang Xing's breathing has stopped long ago, so even if he is frozen and covered in thick ice and snow, it will not have any impact on him.
A snow mountain climbing team is climbing hard to the top of the mountain. There are four people in this team, one female and three male.
Fan Kexin is the only girl among the four. Climbing such a steep snow-capped mountain requires not only courage, but also a strong body and a strong will, as well as good luck.
Fan Kexin climbed here, only a few feet away from the highest peak, and felt extremely excited.
"I'm so tired. I really want to sit down and take a rest." Fan Kexin said.
Han Yiqin was the leader among the four, and it was he who initiated this climbing operation. Of course, Fan Kexin was not included in his plan. It was Fan Kexin who strongly requested to join after learning the news. In order to prepare for this climbing operation, they
I made adequate preparations and even conducted physical training.
"Don't think so. The higher you get to the top of the mountain, the more dangerous it becomes. Many people finally climb to the top of the mountain and sit down on the ground, unable to get up." Han Yiqin said.
"I heard that there are snowdrops on the top of the snow mountain, but why haven't we even seen a shadow?" Fan Kexin asked.
"Do you think that snow lotus can be seen everywhere?" Zeng Zonglin said with a smile.
"That thing is hard to come by. But we, Ke Xin, are so proud. Maybe the snow lotus flowers will come after us for Ke Xin to pick." Pan Shaojie said with a smile.
"You can do it. Just besiege me." Fan Kexin said dissatisfied.
"Come on. We will reach the top of the mountain in a while. We will take a photo there and prepare to go down. The top of the mountain is too dangerous and we cannot stay for a long time." Han Yiqin said.
As they approached the top of the mountain, several people became excited and their speed of action also increased.
"Look! What is that?" Fan Kexin pointed forward and shouted excitedly.
"Hey, it looks like a flower! Did we really encounter a snowdrop?" Pan Shaojie said in surprise.
Fan Kexin immediately quickened her pace and ran over.
"Be careful! Don't run around!" Han Yiqin was anxious. This is not the foot of the mountain. If you don't pay attention here, something will happen. Han Yiqin quickly chased after Fan Kexin and grabbed Fan Kexin.
Fan Kexin's foot slipped, and the two of them fell to the ground together. A small piece of ice broke off under their feet, and they suddenly slid to the bottom of the cliff.
"I'm sorry, I almost caused trouble for you." Fan Kexin said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay. You have to be very careful when doing anything here." Han Yiqin said.
After learning this lesson, several people cautiously approached the snowdrop.
The rare snowdrops actually grow into a large area here. More than a dozen snowdrops are in full bloom, which looks spectacular.
"It's really strange. Snow lotus, which is rarely seen in ordinary times, can be seen in such a large area on the top of this snow-capped mountain. It's really amazing!" Han Yiqin sighed.
"Brother Yi Qin, have you never encountered snow lotus in the snow mountains before?" Fan Kexin asked.
"How could it be so easy to come across? Snow lotus is a sacred medicine. Even if someone encounters it, they will take it away. In addition, this snow lotus is relatively rare, so it is normal not to encounter it." Han Yi Qin Yao
Shake his head.
"Hey, do you feel something is different here?" Fan Kexin said suddenly.
"What's different?" Han Yiqin shook his head and couldn't see any difference here. Isn't it the same as other places? There is thick ice and snow everywhere.
"Yeah, I can't tell either." Zeng Zonglin looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything either.
Pan Shaojie also shook his head: "What's the difference? Are you teasing us?"
"Why am I teasing you? Don't you think it's not very cold here even though it's ice and snow? Can't you feel it?" Fan Kexin asked.
"Hey, I wouldn't have paid attention if you didn't tell me. From what you said, it's really like that. It's really not that cold here." Han Yiqin took off his gloves and touched the snow. It didn't feel that cold at all.
It's a bone-chilling feeling. Instead, it has a warm and jade-like feeling.
"Maybe we saw it wrong. This patch of snow is not snow at all, but jade!" Han Yiqin said.
Fan Kexin pointed to the arched ice cube in the center of the snow lotus and said, "Do you think that looks like a person?"
"It looks a bit like it. It should be a stone inside," Zeng Zonglin said.
"Well, it's possible." Pan Shaojie nodded.
Fan Kexin walked carefully through the gap between the snow lotus flowers. She wanted to see what the arch was.
"Forget it, don't go and look at it." Han Yiqin took out his camera and kept taking pictures of the snow lotus.
Fan Kexin refused to give up, and cautiously approached the arched ice block. At this moment, a beam of sunlight shone through, shining right through the ice block.
Fan Kexin suddenly discovered that there was a man meditating in the ice cube!
"There's someone inside!" Fan Kexin exclaimed.
Fan Kexin's exclamation shocked Han Yiqin and others.
"Don't shout! Do you want to kill us? Shouting on the iceberg may cause an avalanche. Once an avalanche occurs, all of us will be dead." Zeng Zonglin hurriedly stopped.
Han Yiqin also said quickly: "Don't panic, Kexin, what did you see?"
"There is someone inside!" Fan Kexin pointed at the ice and cried. Being frozen in the ice, according to common sense, he must have been dead for a long time.
Han Yiqin and others all looked sad.
"Kexin, come out, don't disturb him." Han Yiqin said.
"Are all these snowdrops blooming just for him? Being able to die in a sea of snowdrops is actually a very romantic thing." Fan Kexin said.
"Let's go. We have to hurry up and go down the mountain. The temperature at the top of the mountain is frighteningly low at night. If we can't go down in time and find a place to take shelter from the wind, it will be very dangerous." Han Yiqin said.
Originally, a few people wanted to pick some snowdrops back, but after finding someone in the ice, they gave up the idea of picking them.
"Climbing snow-capped mountains is really dangerous. I think I will never take risks again," Fan Kexin said.
"It's also very meaningful, although it's a bit dangerous. But we can see the most beautiful scenery. This is something you can never see hiding in a greenhouse. We can't see such beautiful snowdrops either," Han Yiqin said.
"But if a person dies, even if he is among the snowdrops, what's the point?" Fan Kexin sighed and took another look toward the top of the mountain. The corpse had an extremely shocking impact on her.
"Let's go! Find a place to shelter from the wind first," Han Yiqin said. (To be continued)
