"It would have been difficult for anyone to remain rational in the frantic environment at that time."
"If it were me, I might not be as good as you."
After hearing these two words from Li Manjun, Wang Xiaochan finally let out the breath she was holding in her heart with relief.
Ask Sister Zhou to bring the plate, put the dishes out, and shout into the living room with a smile: "The meal is ready! Let you try the specialties we brought from the southern province."
Zhao Yong took his daughter and called Zhang Fuhai. The two had just talked about something else, and Zhang Fuhai's mood finally improved.
But the specialty dishes on the dinner table seemed to remind him of unpleasant memories, and he found it difficult to swallow after two bites.
Seeing this, Li Manjun winked at Zhao Yong and pointed to the wine cabinet, "Uncle, would you like some drinks?"
Zhang Fuhai was rarely moved and joked: "If you have good wine at home, you should have told me earlier!"
Wang Xiaochan wanted to stop her, but Zhao Yong raised his hand to tell her not to be nervous. He got up and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of Maotai.
The wine was stored by Li Manjun, and she still had a lot of Moutai at home. Some of them were given away to others, and most of them were stored in special boxes, saying they would last for decades without going bad.
Zhao Yong didn't quite understand this, so he just regarded it as his wife's special hobby and let her do whatever she wanted.
Li Manjun thought to himself, if you want to buy these wines in the future, you will not be able to buy them. If you travel back to the 1990s, your life will not be complete without stocking up on Moutai.
But she didn't know whether it would be possible to put it aside decades later. Anyway, if it was good wine, she wouldn't be afraid to let it go. At worst, she would drink it by herself in the end.
After two glasses of wine, Zhang Fuhai's emotions suddenly came over. He grabbed Wang Xiaochan's hand with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs:
"Honey, I'm sorry for you. I should have listened to you a long time ago and made you suffer with me..."
Wang Xiaochan was embarrassed and sad, but the matter was over. Just like what Manjun said just now, "It's good that everything is fine. Fortunately, we haven't resigned yet. We have returned to the unit and things will get better slowly."
"We are all ordinary people. We can't do these twists and turns. Let's live a good life with a fixed salary from now on."
Zhang Fuhai nodded wildly, with tears streaming down his face. Zhao Yong hurriedly handed him the first piece of paper and raised his glass in a toast.
"Uncle, let's drink our worries away and wake up tomorrow to a brand new day!"
Zhang Fuhai hummed and wiped his tears, remembering that he had lost all his belongings for most of his life. He cried and drank, one cup after another, and no one could persuade him.
However, if a person vents his emotions and takes a nap, he will wake up the next day and be a good man again.
Nian Nian looked at her uncle with tears streaming down his face, his mouth slightly opened in surprise, his little hands scratched his face twice, and he made shy gestures towards his mother.
When she fell down and was about to cry, Sister Zhou would do shy movements, so she learned how to do it.
Li Manjun and Wang Xiaochan looked at each other and were amused by the little girl's actions. Wang Xiaochan held her on his knees and looked at the child's innocent smile, feeling that the future was still very bright.
"Time!" Nian Nian pointed at the yuyu on the table and tugged on her aunt's sleeve, her mouth watering with greed.
"You little greedy cat." Wang Xiaochan nodded her pink little nose lovingly, then picked up a small piece of squid and fed it to her.
She deliberately didn't stir-fry it spicy, so she soaked the dried squid in water and stir-fried it with sauce. It wasn't spicy even for children.
She likes the taste of Yuyu Q bombs every year. This is her first time to eat seafood, which is very novel.
"Speaking of which, that place in Nan Province is really beautiful. When Nian Nian gets older, you can take her to the beach. It would be fun." Wang Xiaochan suggested.
Although this place in Nan Province made her sad, it also had many good memories. She thought that she would never forget this place in her life.
Li Manjun nodded, "That's good, I haven't seen the sea in every year."
Even she has never been there. It is obviously in the next province, very close, but she is busy with work and has no time to travel.
Speaking of travel, Li Manjun suddenly had an idea.
Now that all the aluminum ingots she has on hand have been sold out, the next plan is being prepared, and there is still some time before it is implemented.
It just so happens that Zhao Yong is going to Haishi on a business trip, and Lijun is also going to report at the university. Why not go to Haishi with the whole family?
When this thought came to mind, Li Manjun was secretly excited.
After dinner, the couple took Zhang Fuhai and Wang Xiaochan to a nearby guest house with their daughter in their arms, and then the family of three took a walk home.
Zhao Yong drank a lot, and Li Manjun didn't let him go out together, but Zhao Yong insisted on coming out. Seeing that he was walking steadily, Li Manjun let him go.
It happened that the family of three took a walk and chatted.
Every year, my parents lead me along the way, jumping up and down, using the tiles on the ground as a grid, as if I have endless energy.
It's just that my parents are a bit useless.
As a tall adult, Li Manjun had to bend down, and Zhao Yong felt even more uncomfortable. After walking a few hundred meters with his daughter in hand, he felt like his waist was about to collapse.
"Come, daddy, hug me." Zhao Yong stretched out his hand towards his daughter, and said with a tilt of his head, "No, daddy stinks."
Li Manjun stretched out her hand in a funny manner, and Niannian obediently fell into her mother's arms. She asked her mother to hold her, and her mother smelled good and didn't stink.
Zhao Yong was stunned, what was going on with that little girl's disgusted look in the movie?
Li Manjun found a position that saves effort, held her daughter on her shoulders, told Zhao Yong about the family's trip to Haishi, and asked for his opinion.
"Are mom and dad going together?" Zhao Yong asked.
"Forget it, they won't be gone for a long time. Dad can only take three days off at most. Jianjun also has to go to school. It's a critical moment in the senior year of high school. Mom will definitely keep an eye on him."
Hearing his wife say this, Zhao Yong smiled, the opportunity for the two of them came!
"When the time comes, let Lijun take care of our children. How about we go out on a date alone?" Zhao Yong asked excitedly.
Li Manjun raised his eyebrows and looked down at Nian Nian, who was lying on her shoulder and staring at the street lights. The little girl didn't seem to hear her parents wanting to leave her and go live happily on her own.
】
He looked up at Zhao Yong and nodded quickly.
Zhao Yong was very happy, but he had to restrain himself because he still had something hard to tell his wife.
"Um, how much money do you have in total now?" Zhao Yong asked tentatively when he returned home, put his daughter to sleep, and the couple were alone.
Li Manjun applied skin care products to the mirror, "Didn't I tell you before?"
The first person she shared this good news with was him.
Zhao Yong said awkwardly: "I can't remember it all at once. I just remember that you said you made 16 million." But how much was the total, he forgot to ask.
Li Manjun gently applied the remaining cream in his palm to his neck, raised his hand and gestured, "I have a total of 24 million in my hand now."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Yong still couldn't help his heartbeat speeding up, and his voice became hoarse from the stimulation, "So many?"
He might as well just follow her!
However, this idea of having a soft meal only lasts for a moment. His wife is so rich, and if he doesn't work hard, his family status will be in danger.
