Chapter 201 The temptation to go home (monthly pass)
This afternoon when we returned to Jiangxia, Wen Liang was a little busy.
I stayed at ICBC for almost an hour, and cooperated with my mother, Wang Wanhua, to be shown off everywhere.
There is a saying that in such a long span of time, it was only today that classmate Wen Liang was good enough for Wang Wanhua to show off for the first time.
For the first time, Ms. Wang Wanhua's face felt bright.
Still...it's not easy.
There is no way, the old Wen family has a good foundation, Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua, two-employee young leaders, are decent.
In his previous life, Xiao Wen only became a civil servant at the end, and just like that, he was probably the same as Wen Ruiguo in the eyes of his uncle. He was nothing more than taking advantage of his father...
It's different now. Now Xiao Wen Zheng'er has broken out on his own.
I started a business while attending college!
so……
After cooperating with Ms. Wang Wanhua in ICBC to show off one after another, Xiao Wen drove to Jiefang Park, where Comrade Wen Ruiguo worked.
Visiting my old father in a decent manner.
Obviously, Comrade Wen Ruiguo was much more restrained and simply went through the motions.
The compound here is a little different from ICBC, and the words are less hypocritical.
Although it was mainly a large courtyard, Wen Liang went to the political and legal office area.
Many people knew Wen Liang, and some of them shouted directly: "Hey, Secretary Rui Guo, your son is back!"
"Not bad, Xiao Wen has broken out into the world at such a young age."
"If we meet each other outside, shouldn't we call Mr. Wen?"
"Haha, we can only envy Secretary Rui Guo for giving birth to a good son. He is already uniquely outstanding!"
"..."
Wen Ruiguo echoed a few words: "Not bad, but not very obedient."
"I prefer to venture out on my own."
"Just don't raise your tail."
Comrade Wen Ruiguo's work is quite satisfactory. He is quite Buddhist and has always been neutral. He does not have too many interests involved.
Anyway, Wen Liang knew that Wen Ruiguo retired several years earlier than Wang Wanhua in his previous life. The exact number of years was unknown because Wang Wanhua had not retired before his rebirth.
As far as Wen Liang is concerned, Comrade Wen Ruiguo may have begun to think about whether he can retire early.
Therefore, in both past and present lives, they actively advised Wen Liang to go to the system, quickly gave Wen Liang the all-clear, and then quickly quit.
Anyway, in Wen Liang's eyes, his mother Wang Wanhua is okay, and his aunt Wang Wanyu is not very interested in Wen Ruiguo's style.
After all, Comrade Wen is just an old salted fish.
The process of coming to the compound here is much simpler. I have seen the highest-ranking city secretary in this compound, and I have not seen the mayor. They don't work in the same compound.
…………
The setting sun shines on the high-rise buildings.
Wen Liang ended his daily routine of being pushed out by his parents to show off, and returned home with Comrade Wen Ruiguo.
Later, Wang Wanhua also came back.
Comrade Wen Ruiguo rarely cooked dinner.
The whole family doesn't like to talk too much at the dinner table, unless it's a dinner party.
After the meal, Wen Ruiguo sat on the sofa, turned his head to look at Wen Liang, and then looked at the TV, as if he said casually: "You must have something on your mind when you come back this time."
Wen Liang did not deny it and said frankly: "I want to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Lao Li Tou to express some of my views, some of which are quite radical."
"It's not wise." Wen Ruiguo gave a simple opinion, "But you have your own ideas, and the world you see is different from ours. Plus, he is an elder now, so it doesn't hurt to go a little too far once in a while."
Wen Liang nodded in agreement: "I think so too. You can only go too far once."
Wen Ruiguo looked at Wen Liang again and said in a gentle tone: "I can't guess the point you want to express. Since you don't mention the specifics, you probably don't want to be affected by my suggestions, or I can't give you appropriate suggestions."
At this point, Wen Ruiguo softened his tone: "There are many kinds of truths. When things are slow, you can do things right, and when things are urgent, you have to obey the authority. If you have thought about it, made a decision, and have the responsibility and courage to bear the consequences, you should be fearless."
"If you build a company of the size of Bolang in 9 months today, you can achieve greater results in 9 months tomorrow."
Wen Liang nodded and wrote them down one by one.
Looking at Wen Liang's young face, Wen Ruiguo thought for a while and then said: "I have worked in the political and legal system for so many years, and I have discovered an interesting phenomenon. People don't like real heroes;
A real hero is always full of fighting spirit, strong-willed, objective and rational, and is not afraid of criticism, slander and slander, or being stoned;
When there are real heroes, everyone will feel awkward and eventually resist because they cannot accept the nastiness and filthiness that will always exist in them."
Wen Ruiguo didn't say the rest.
Gentle and understanding.
As a father, Wen Ruiguo does not want Wen Liang to be a real hero. Neither the environment nor his peers will allow such a person to appear.
But at the same time, Wen Ruiguo also expressed his meaning.
Make a reasonable and firm choice, don't be afraid of various stumbling blocks, and don't be too hesitant.
…
After the 'casual chat' with his father Wen Ruiguo came to an end.
Wen Liang chatted with Wang Wanhua.
During the chat, Wen Liang thought for a while and finally mentioned whether to change his residence.
Wang Wanhua shook her head and refused: "It's very comfortable to live here. If you move to any commercial residential area, you can't compare to the cleanliness here."
"As for those better courtyards, we forced ourselves to live in them. We lost our original intention and made ourselves even more unhappy."
Wen Liang had known that this would be the result, so he nodded in agreement without surprise.
Wang Wanhua looked at Wen Liang and said softly: "We don't need you to worry about us in this life. Anything that can happen to us will be within our tolerance. Even fatal diseases are nothing more than trouble."
"Your dad and I don't like to argue. Recently, he has even been thinking about telling the organization to retire from the second line as soon as possible, so as to free up space and retire early."
At this point, Wang Wanhua paused and stretched out her hands to straighten Wen Liang's clothes: "Because of secular reasons, we finally interfered with your marriage. I only have one hope, that you can still live a truly good life in the future."
Wen Liang nodded gently: "Yes."
He felt that returning home this time was different from before.
It's different from any family gathering.
Because success recognized by the public also means maturity in a certain sense.
Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua are obviously a little worried about Wen Liang, who has become famous at a young age.
So they described their experiences that they thought were useful to Wen Liang.
And he gently removes all the worries of Wen Liang.
Give me the confidence to be gentle and fearless.
This is also the warmth and softness that uniquely belongs to the meaning of the word ‘home’.
In fact, in the past, present and future, Wen Liang’s greatest confidence as an ordinary person comes from his parents, who have 100% risk tolerance!
Unless there is a force majeure natural disaster or an unforeseen terminal illness, nothing else can affect the stable and high-quality life that Wen Ruiguo and his wife enjoy now.
They are not afraid of old age, illness, and death.
As long as Wen Liang does not rebel against humanity, the peaceful and peaceful days of Wen Ruiguo and his wife will last until a hundred years later.
This is also the reason why gentle people dare to be radical.
…
On the morning of the second day after returning home, Wen Liang went to his uncle's house.
I met Xiao Li Rang, who I had been looking forward to.
This time, Xiao Lirang didn't open his mouth to mention Sister Su Jian, he just hugged Wen Liang's thigh and shook it.
It wasn't until he was eating outside at noon that he had a belly again, when Li Rang mentioned Su Jian: "Is sister Su Jian back too?"
Wen Liang replied: "Yeah."
Li Rang raised his head and asked again: "Will she still go to Yangcheng during the summer vacation?"
Wen Liang was not sure: "I should go."
Li Rang nodded his head and said, "Then let's play with Sister Su Jian later."
Seeing this, Wen Liang looked at Li Rang strangely: "You stopped kissing suddenly?"
Li Rang's eyes rolled around, and he shook his head after a long time: "I don't know either."
Wen Liang somewhat understood.
Children will sort out priorities and distance.
In comparison, Wen Liang will have a closer relationship with her.
In the past few years, Wang Wanyu has been telling Li Rang that he can ask his brother for help when encountering problems.
In fact, Wang Wanyu hopes that Li Rang can feel protected by his brother since he was a child, rather than just teaching by words and deeds.
…………
After returning home, Wen Liang experienced a normal life that he had not felt for a long time.
Be worry-free every day.
It's still a little early to get down to business.
The two mothers, Wang Wanhua and Su Hongxue, started to be busy now and even asked for leave.
That night, Wang Wanhua called Wen Liang and mentioned something.
"Xiao Su had afternoon tea with me in the afternoon and deliberately mentioned their family affairs. I hope to tell you through my mouth."
Wen Liang: "?"
But as soon as his thoughts changed, he roughly guessed the reason.
The story is indeed very simple. Old Li Tou is only 56 this year, 13 years younger than Wen Liang's deceased grandfather.
Li Zhekai was born when Lao Li Tou was 20 years old.
It was also because Lao Litou's first son was born early that Lao Wen's family and Lao Li's family had such an old agreement. At that time, there were not as many restrictions as there are now, so the idea of having a second child was immediately obvious.
Lao Li Tou does have two children, but the younger one is also a son. He was born when he was 23 years old and he is 33 years old this year.
Uncle Su Jian's child is just 8 years old this year.
Once everyone's age comes out, things will become clear.
Namely: Li Zhekai fell in love freely with Su Hongxue very early, and then accidentally got pregnant with Su Hongxue, and he had Su Jian at the age of 18.
At that time, Li Zhekai didn't want to take responsibility for this thing, which almost made Old Li Tou angry to death.
I really hate that iron cannot become steel. Old Li Tou thinks this thing is too muddy to be put on the wall, and he has no sense of responsibility at all!
This is also part of the reason why Su Jian was later named Su.
The reason why Su Jian mentioned this matter to Wang Wanhua was to tell Wen Liang two things.
1. The relationship between Su Jian and her father Li Zhekai is not very good.
2. Old Li Tou despises Li Zhekai from the bottom of his heart. When Wen Liang greets Old Li Tou, he must not mention Li Zhekai.
Even if Li Zhekai became a full-time deputy secretary of the city in his thirties, it would still be bad luck for Old Li.
And if nothing else goes wrong, even if Li Zhekai is now the deputy director, he will only be able to retire in a non-leadership position in the main director in his lifetime.
In a word, maybe ten years later Su Jian will be the deputy director, and Li Zhekai will definitely still be the deputy director.
Wen Liang: "..."
Wang Wanhua finished the story in two or three sentences, while Wen Liang said nothing.
This is similar to his guess.
The difference is that Lao Li Tou feels that his eldest son is really unlucky.
So much so that if Wen Liang accidentally mentions himself as his future father-in-law when meeting Old Li Tou, it may affect his ability to express his views to Old Li Tou smoothly.
…………
On the morning of Saturday, the 7th, under the leadership of Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua, Wen Liang met Li Zhekai, Su Hongxue and Su Jian.
Li Zhekai is very gentle.
He is the kind of gentle person who, in Wen Liang's eyes, will immediately think that this person has no temper.
Even without any preconceived understanding, Wen Liang would not have a very good impression of his future father-in-law.
The reality is that this doesn’t work either.
Human beings are sometimes very strange creatures. The more desperately they try to prove themselves in a certain aspect, the more they will trap themselves in this aspect.
The two families directly negotiated the engagement this time.
Wang Wanhua and Su Hongxue found masters here and there to decide on a date that was most suitable for Wen Liang and Su Jian to get engaged.
September 26, 2013 in the lunar calendar is the month of Renxu and the day of Jisi.
It is October 30, 2013 in the Gregorian calendar.
It is said that this date can match the wedding date later, giving you more room to choose.
However, Wen Liang was not able to see Old Li Tou that day. He only met Grandma Su Jian, Old Li Tou's wife, during dinner.
Lao Litou is not pretending.
He is really busy.
I also knew that Wen Liang had opinions and wanted to communicate with him face to face, so I wanted to take a more relaxed time.
He also asked Grandma Su Jian to thank Wen Liang on her behalf, saying that the pen he gave was a good one.
…
Then, time quickly arrived on the 12th.
The two families have also been busy with some small things these days.
After the engagement date was decided, the two families respected each other's customs and went through some simple procedures.
For example, you cannot wait until the engagement day to give away the betrothal gift.
Even though Wen Liang is already very rich now, according to the wishes of both parents, he wrapped a red envelope of 9,999 yuan, a number that has far greater symbolic meaning than actual meaning, and has a long-lasting meaning.
Postponing it until the 12th is not because Lao Litou wants to test Wen Liang's patience or anything.
It is true that Lao Li Tou encountered some relatively important tasks, such as a trip to the capital on business.
It is estimated that some major events that have been held on certain dates are not far away, and necessary preparations were completed at the end of last month and need to be reported.
Although he knew some necessary information, Wen Liang did not take any action. He knew his own position. This kind of thing was not something he could dictate.
Perhaps Lao Li Tou felt that it was a bit procrastinating, so he did not insist on a time slot during the day, and arranged a time slot for Wen Liang after five o'clock in the afternoon on the 12th.
Usually Lao Litou doesn't go to bed until after 11 o'clock in the evening, which means he stays for a full 6 hours.
In the evening, Wen Liang was stunned for a moment when he saw Lao Li Tou, who looked actually very young.
Su Jian next to him nudged him with his elbow, and Wen Liangcai hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Grandpa Li."
"Come and sit." Lao Li waved to Wen Liang with a warm expression -
The February update ends here. The missing update today will be added tomorrow, sorry.
PS: I am promoting this book. The protagonist is trying his best to be bad, and the system is feeding him like crazy. "I Really Just Want to Be Bad" is written by Grauphon Chicken. It is said that he is an experienced driver~
