At noon on New Year's Eve, inside a cemetery on the outskirts of the provincial capital. {Free novel}
Tong Yao helped us contact us about the cemetery. When we got here, we found out that it was actually one of the rows of tombs that had been repaired. The cemetery was built in separate areas, and the sizes of the tombs in each area were different.
Smaller tombs in remote areas can be purchased for only a few thousand yuan. The one Tong Yao contacted for us is the double tomb on the right side of the center of the cemetery. It is actually not very big, covering an area of only three to four square meters.
There is no writing on the tombstone yet. In front of the tombstone is a tomb, which is just big enough to put two urns.
"How is it?" I asked Azhu.
"This is it. Feng Xiao, please help me advance the money today, and I will give it to you later." She said.[
I didn't say anything because I felt she should pay the money.
The procedure was completed very quickly, and in the final analysis it was just a matter of paying the money. The staff asked us: "Do we need a mage?"
I didn't understand what he said, "Mage? What to do?"
"Some people believe in this kind of thing. They ask the mage to bury you and do the burial at the same time. Only in this way can the deceased rest in peace and everything goes smoothly for the living." He said.
"How much does it cost?" I asked, mainly because I was worried about being cheated.
"It's only two to three hundred yuan," the staff member said.
I went to see Azhu, meaning I wanted to ask for her opinion. She nodded slightly, so I said, "Okay."
"Wait a minute, I'll call him right away," the staff member said.
This is the office area of the cemetery, at the entrance to the cemetery. I don’t want to stay here because I feel depressed. I said to A-Zhu: “You take a rest inside, and I’ll go out for a walk.”
"I'll go too," she said.
I didn't say anything and walked outside. After leaving the formality room, I took a few deep breaths.
Just now, when the staff took us to see the proposed cemetery, I didn't pay special attention to the environment here, but now, I feel that I should take a good look at this place. Because I thought in my heart: This is also the place where I will come in the future.
Ah. No one can escape this natural law. There is a joke that says: Now that I have come to this world, I have no intention of going back alive! Although this sentence seems funny, it is actually a kind of frustration.
The gate of the cemetery is simple and grand, somewhat like an archway. Above the middle are four vigorous and powerful characters: Jiangnan Cemetery. The calligraphy is simple and simple, which is definitely everyone's calligraphy.
After entering the gate, there are three arch bridges, the one in the middle is faster, and the ones on both sides are half narrow. There are withered lotus leaves in the turquoise water under the bridge. After passing the arch bridge, there is a corridor with stone sculptures on both sides.
, the contents of the stone carvings are the stories of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety. On both sides of the end of the corridor are the statues of Guanyin and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Directly opposite the corridor is a round hill. Far behind the hill are rolling hills.
Mountains. This is a natural geomantic treasure land. There is no place more suitable for a cemetery than here.
Directly in front of the corridor are stone steps that climb to the top of the hill. This stone step looks wide and majestic, very similar to the stone steps at Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. However, Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is exclusive to Ying Zheng.
But here is the habitat of many people. In addition, there is another difference: Qin Shihuang was buried in the mountain, and there were countless others buried with him. But the residents here are on the surface of the mountain, and there are only the dead in the tomb.
Just the ashes.
Today is the New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar. I didn't expect that there are still many people coming to this place to sweep the tombs. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood: these people want to celebrate the New Year with their deceased relatives. This can be seen from this that our country
The deep family affection that exists in the hearts of ordinary people.
Therefore, the cemetery, which was supposed to be deserted, turned out to be very lively. The deceased have passed away and they are buried here. The people who come here to sweep the tombs have long forgotten their sorrow, and they have made this place have a festive atmosphere.
But there was one person who was different. She was crying. She was Azhu next to me. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the grave sweepers came here to commemorate, but she was facing an eternal farewell.
The person we were waiting for came. He turned out to be a Taoist priest. He was wearing a black Taoist robe, his hair was tied up in a bun on the top of his head, his beard was very long, and he was dark and thin. I felt that this man looked uncomfortable because
He gives people a very dirty look.[
He actually has an office! Now, A-Zhu and I are sitting in his office.
"Pay the money first," the Taoist said.
"How much?" I asked.
"Three hundred. This is a cemetery. The place where dead people are buried cannot be even numbers." He said.
I didn't care about it and immediately gave him three hundred yuan. I thought it was good, right? But he continued: "I still need five ancient copper coins, the best ones from the Yongzheng era. I need to use such coins to set the price."
tomb."
I suddenly understood: it turned out that I had to charge money again. So I asked, "How much is it?"
"Fifty yuan a piece,.
Yes, give it.
"I also need a rooster. A big rooster." He said, "I have it here. You can buy it yourself."
I felt a little bit cheated, but I still asked patiently: "How much does it cost?"
"One hundred yuan. The roosters here are different. They are so roosterous. Only in this way can evil be suppressed." He said.
This time I paid attention, "What else do you need? Just tell me."
"Money paper, incense candles. These are very cheap. Fifty yuan is enough." He said.
"Do you need anything else?" I asked again.
"That's all. I won't charge money randomly." He said to me seriously. So I gave him another hundred and fifty. Then he went out with his things, carrying a box on his back and carrying a bag in his hand.
Holding a big rooster. Azhu held her mother’s ashes, and I held her father’s urn in my hand. We followed closely behind him.
Now, I finally understand why the cemetery makes so much money. When I think about Song Mei and Si Weimin, I sigh. At the same time, I also feel that things are normal: Si Weimin went to jail for the cemetery project, and Song Mei died.
But it was Ning Xiangru, Kang Demao and I who benefited.
The Taoist priest's words made me aware of the crowding here. He said: "The tombs here have been almost sold out for a long time. This tomb was ordered by someone else a few years ago and was recently withdrawn. It is said that this person settled abroad.
Already."
I see. It seems that Ning Xiangru’s project will be very profitable in the future. I thought to myself.
In front of the tomb, the Taoist priest began to practice. He was chattering in front of the tomb, like a monk reciting sutras. He then placed five coins at the four corners of the tomb, and the last one in the middle, and then killed the chicken.
Azhu was a little scared, and she grabbed my arm tightly. "Don't be afraid, there are so many people around during the day," I comforted her.
Immediately, the Taoist priest put the ashes in the urns respectively, and the two urns were close to each other. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: I hope they won't quarrel anymore, let alone hurt each other.
The Taoist priest plucked a feather from the rooster's neck, dipped it in the rooster's blood and sprinkled it on the urn in the tomb. He was mumbling words that I couldn't understand. After the Taoist priest finished doing this, he immediately put a cement lid on it.
board, and then took out a jar from the box. After opening it, I found that it was filled with cement mixed with water. He used cement to paste the edge of the cover board, exactly like a mason, and his movements were very skillful.
"Okay. You can burn the money paper and burn incense yourself." The Taoist priest said, and then he picked up the big rooster and prepared to leave.[
"Wait a minute." I called him immediately.
He looked at me in confusion.
I looked at the rooster in his hand and said to him: "Since we spent money to buy this chicken, it should belong to us, right?"
He suddenly became embarrassed, "I thought you didn't want it."
I said, "Who said we don't want it anymore? You put it here. We will take it away later."
He reluctantly put the rooster down. If it weren't for seeing Ah Zhu's sad look, I would have laughed.
Ah Zhu lit the incense candles and kowtowed in front of the tomb. She burst into tears. The people sweeping the tomb all around looked at us, because we were the only ones crying.
It was already past three in the afternoon when I left the cemetery. I was holding the big rooster in my hand. Azhu asked me: "Do you really want to take it back?"
"Why not? With such a good chicken, our family can have a big meal." I said.
"Feng Xiao, don't take it back. It's used to honor my parents." She said in a low voice.
I thought to myself: The Taoist priest almost took it away just now. Who knows if he took it back and cooked it for himself? But I felt that it was not right to take this thing back, so I said to her: "Well, just now
When I came here, I saw a beggar in the town ahead. Let's give this chicken to him."
She said nothing more.
When I drove into the town, I saw that the beggar was still there, so I gave him the chicken in my hand. The beggar looked surprised and then grinned. I thought he must have found it strange, because giving a chicken to a beggar was like this.
Things are too incredible.
"I'm hungry." Azhu said to me. Then I remembered that we hadn't had lunch yet, and I suddenly became hungry. "Let's just eat something in this town. We'll have dinner soon," I said.
She nodded and said, "Yeah."
I saw a noodle shop and got off the bus.
"Azhu, can I eat noodles?" I asked her.
She came to me and looked at me but said nothing. I asked her in surprise: "What's wrong?"
What I didn't expect was that she hugged me suddenly and kissed me deeply on the lips. I was stunned. Although she had left my lips, I was still stunned.
Standing there, because my lips and my mind were filled with the taste of her kiss just now.
"Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you?" She stood in front of me, looking at me in panic. I suddenly woke up, "Azhu, you..."
Her face immediately turned red and she said softly: "Feng Xiao, I'm very grateful to you."
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out to be just gratitude to me. But the ripples in my heart caused by her kiss just now still existed, so I said calmly: "Come on, let's go eat noodles."
Azhu is very beautiful, and her beauty has an exotic flavor. Because she looks like her father, she has a straight nose, big and slightly sunken eyes, big lips, her skin is as white as snow, and she is nearly 1.7 meters tall.
She looked like that, so when she gave me a fierce kiss just now, it really moved my heart. But I immediately reminded myself: She is the daughter of your tutor, and she has the character of a high school girl.
Don't have any other ideas.
But I am still embarrassed and still worried in my heart, because I know that I am the kind of man with very weak willpower.
Fortunately, her words made me feel relaxed immediately. She was just grateful to me.
Now, she and I were sitting face to face at a small table, and I said to her: "Azhu, you should go back to work early after the Spring Festival. Recently, you should think more about your future life."
Her eyes suddenly turned red and she whispered: "Yeah."
"You go back in two days and clean up your things at home." I said again.
She was very obedient and well-behaved, "Yeah."
I laughed immediately and said, "That's right."
"Feng Xiao, can you accompany me to my house now?" she said suddenly.
I looked at the time and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you and take a look first."
Everything in Ah Zhu's home was as before, but there was already a thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs. Ah Zhu stood in the center of the living room and looked around, looking a little at a loss.
"Azhu, let's do this. Take your mother's diary and take a good look at it first. In a few days, ask someone to come and help you clean it." I said. Because I found that it was already getting late, and I was thinking about the evening.
I'm a little anxious about the reunion dinner.
But she suddenly burst into tears, "Feng Xiao, I don't want to come back and live here... Oooh! I feel so uncomfortable."
I was stunned for a moment, "How can that be done? Where will you live if you don't live here from now on?"
"I'll stay at your house," she said.
"No. My parents will go back after the year. How about you staying at my place?" I said.
"Isn't Su Hua going to your home?" she said while crying.
"She works at my house. She has to take care of Chen Yuan," I said.
"I, ugh! I don't want to live here anyway. I feel bad when I see everything here," she said.
I was immediately embarrassed, because I felt that the problem she mentioned did exist, "Maybe we can rent a house to live outside. Then we can talk about it after the year, okay?"
She glanced at me and said, "I don't want to live outside alone. I'm scared."
I felt that it was of little significance to talk about this matter at this time. Because I didn’t have much time to convince her, and the effect of persuasion was not necessarily very optimistic, so I said to her: “Azhu, let’s go back outside. Chen Chen will be there tonight.
Yuan’s parents are coming over to have a family reunion dinner with us. Don’t make us wait.”
"Do you agree for me to live in your house?" she asked, looking very happy.
"I mean we can wait until after the Spring Festival. Azhu, please understand me. Look at my current home. Chen Yuan is in a coma and the child's condition is not good. Aren't you causing trouble for me?" I said.
.
"I just saw the situation at your home, so I wanted to do something for you. Feng Xiao, I know you are usually very busy and have a lot of social activities. If you are too busy in the future, don't you still have my help?" She
But he said this.
"Su Hua is here. She and the nanny are taking care of her, that's enough." I said.
She suddenly stopped crying and looked at me with a very special look, "Su Hua is a divorced woman, and your wife is like this. I am very worried about you two."
I didn't expect her to suddenly say such a sentence, and I felt embarrassed immediately, "Azhu, where did you think you were?"
"I've noticed a long time ago that something is wrong with the way Su Hua looks at you. She likes you," she said.
Then I suddenly thought of a question: Although Ah Zhu is a little childish in nature, she is a woman, and women are all sensitive.
"I asked her to take care of Chen Yuan, and she will be paid." I said, and I couldn't help but wonder: Is this arrangement appropriate for me? You know, after all, Su Hua and I had that kind of relationship.
"I'm studying medicine, why don't you invite me?" she asked.
"You majored in imaging, and you have a formal job. Su Hua has no job now, so she has to work in the orphanage temporarily. She has a master's degree in obstetrics and gynecology, and she loves her major very much.
That's why I thought of letting her take care of Chen Yuan for the time being, and find her a job as a doctor when I have the opportunity in the future. Azhu, she is also your mother's student, I should take care of her, don't you think so? And
This is also related to my wife's recovery. I think there is no other person more suitable for this job than Su Hua. What do you think?" I said. Now, I really feel that my original decision should be
This is very correct, because I found that there is really no one more suitable for this job than Su Hua.
She looked at me, "Feng Xiao, let's go."
I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's go. Bring what you need."
"I still want to live in your home. I will pay you living expenses. Feng Xiao, I feel very warm living in your home. Feng Xiao, don't worry, from now on I will never act like a child again. I
I will try my best to do a lot of things for you, promise to listen to you, and at the same time help Su Hua take good care of your wife and children. Is that okay?" she said, looking at me weakly.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "Let's go, we'll talk about it later during the Spring Festival."
It was already dark when I got home, and laughter was filling the house. It turned out that my parents were having a lively chat with Lin Yi and his wife.
"You're back? How are things going?" my father asked me.
"It's all done. Please update as soon as possible." I said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." What I said next was to Lin Yi and Shi Yanni.
"It's okay. Your father's opinion is right. Some things are best done before the end of the year. Azhu, don't be sad anymore. Life is like this, and you will always encounter various problems. In fact, I am better than
You are even more unlucky. My parents passed away when I was very young, and Xiaonan, but you are much happier than her. Azhu, when a person encounters something unpleasant, think more about others. In this case, you
The mood will be much better. We living people need to live more wonderfully, do more things, and help those who are less fortunate while living wonderfully. Only in this way will our lives be more meaningful. This is not
Slogan, because this is how I got here." Lin Yi said.
"Boss Lin's state of mind is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. I admire him," his father said.
"Brother, what kind of realm do I have? That's what I thought, and then I did it. Life is like this. Pessimistic people will think that life is just a few decades. If you count the days, you will be a hundred years old.
More than 36,000 days. Optimistic people don’t see it this way. They will effectively use this limited life time to do what they like to do. People who are more responsible will think more about others. In fact, everyone
The purpose of living is different. We have no right to interfere with other people's lives, but we should understand and understand what we ourselves should do. For example, Feng Xiao, he has told me many times that he wants to be a good doctor
, it is also a good ideal to treat more patients and relieve more patients from their pain. To be honest, I have mobilized him to come to my company as the vice president several times. This is not because of his relationship with Xiaonan.
After I got married, I just met him. But he didn't want to because he just wanted to be a good doctor. I understood him, so I didn't persuade him anymore," Lin Yi said.
I smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I think I can't do it well. I'm a medical student, and being a doctor is my duty."
"Actually, you can do it well. But it will take a period of training. Didn't I know nothing before? Didn't I accumulate it little by little and learn slowly?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"He is suitable to be a doctor. It's not that complicated." My father also said.
"It doesn't matter if he is a doctor, our health is guaranteed." Shi Yanni said, "Okay, the food and wine are on the table. Let's talk while eating. We are a family anyway, so you can talk whatever you want."
The dinner was very sumptuous, and the utensils and dishes were very different. The chef was invited by Lin Yi, and the utensils were brought from outside. The situation on the table was exactly the same as in the hotel, but this was at home, so the atmosphere was completely different.
.
It’s Chinese New Year.
(Here, I wish readers and friends a happy Spring Festival in advance!)
"Brother, please make an opening statement. You are the elder of this family and older than me. You said we should start drinking." Lin Yi suggested.
"You better tell me. You are the big boss and you are better at talking than me." My father said.
"Dad, Uncle Lin..." I said suddenly. This was the second time I called Lin Yi this title, because after careful consideration, I felt that this title was the most appropriate.
"Feng Xiao, what do you want to say?" Lin Yi smiled at me. I suddenly felt strange, because I had always called him "big brother" before.
"I want Chen Yuan to come out and spend the Spring Festival with us." I whispered.
Lin Yi went to see Shi Yanni.
Shi Yanni was crying and said: "Feng Xiao, I know what you mean. But today is the Spring Festival, and having her here will make everyone feel uncomfortable. Well, just go and open the door so that she can hear us.
It’s the New Year today, and we have to have a New Year atmosphere, right?”
I thought so, and then I stood up and opened the door of Chen Yuan and I's bedroom. After staying at the door for a while, I went in. I saw Chen Yuan still sleeping, and then whispered to her: "Yuanyuan,
It’s the New Year. Can you hear me? You are celebrating the New Year with us. Yuanyuan, it would be great if you could wake up now. Yuanyuan, wake up, wake up quickly. Okay?"
However, she remained the same. I sighed and turned around and went out.
"Feng Xiao, you and Xiaonan are so miserable..." Shi Yanni said to me, and her tears couldn't help but begin to flow.
"Okay, don't be like this." Lin Yi went to say something to her, and then said to my father: "Brother, please speak. We are all waiting."
The father raised his glass and said, "I won't say anything. First, I hope Xiao Nan wakes up soon; second, I hope my child will be healthy; third, I wish Brother Lin a prosperous business; fourth, I hope all the young people here will have a successful career."
Success; fifthly, I hope us old guys are in good health. That’s it? Okay?”
"That's great." Lin Yi laughed, "Then let's raise a toast together. Let's do it."
After everyone drank, Lin Yi said to Shi Yanni: "Are you ready?"
Shi Yanni had stopped crying. She smiled lightly, and then took out a few things from her bag. "It's Chinese New Year, and we give out lucky money to the children. The first is the grandson's. Feng Xiao, you accept it for your son."
It was a bank card. I stretched out my hands to take it, "Thank you, grandma." I said. Everyone laughed.
"There is still me." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"By the way, I also want to thank grandpa." I added hurriedly, but in my heart I said to Chen Yuan in the bedroom: Did you hear it? Our son is collecting new year's money.
"This is from Feng Xiao. We hope you will make further progress in your academics this year and your career will get better and better." Shi Yanni handed me a red envelope. I took it and felt that it was thin inside, so I didn't care, thinking that anyway
That's what it means.
"Thank you, Aunt Shi." I said.
"Feng Xiao, why do you still call me Aunt Shi? You call your nanny the same name, isn't that bad?" Shi Yanni said with a smile.
I also felt that I had gone too far, "Mom, thank you."
Lin Yi didn't say anything at this time, but I felt that I should change the name of him from now on, so I immediately went to call him, "Dad."
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt goosebumps on my back all over the floor.
"You should call me Uncle Lin. I'm not used to you calling me that. You used to call me Brother Lin, but suddenly calling me that makes me very uncomfortable." Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Okay." I said. To be honest, I was very grateful to him, because calling him "Dad" made people feel very uncomfortable.
"You are such an old naughty boy. How can you call your father-in-law uncle?" Shi Yanni glared at Lin Yi, but there was a smile on her face.
"The title is just a symbol. Feng Xiao thinks it sounds natural and it sounds good to me." Lin Yi laughed.
Father said: "Feng Xiao, what should I call him? If you call him uncle, people outside will laugh at you for not knowing the rules."
"Yes." I said, and then I took a look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "You see, this is the power of public opinion and tradition. Sometimes we have to act this way no matter how unaccustomed or disgusted we are."
Immediately, Shi Yanni took out another red envelope and handed it to Ah Zhu, a thick red envelope, "A Zhu, I wish you a happy Spring Festival. Your parents are gone. If you have anything to do in the future, you can always come to us. Feng Xiao's parents
, and me and your Uncle Lin, we are all your elders."
Azhu came to see me and I said, "Take it, it's the new year's money. If you don't accept it, everyone will be lucky for you."
"Take it. This is the wish of your Aunt Shi and Uncle Lin. Come on, this is the New Year's money we prepared for you. You can accept it too. But we don't have much, so it's just a wish." The father said, and the mother immediately
He also took out a red envelope and handed it to her.
Ah Zhu immediately started to cry, "Thank you..."
My father then looked at me and said, "Feng Xiao, where is the gift you prepared for your father-in-law?"
I hurried to the bedroom. This was the first thing I did after getting up this morning. I had to pay a high price to have it made by others. I only went to pick it up after I came out of Azhu's house in the afternoon. The pair were made of gold.
of persimmons.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaonan and I wish you a happy New Year." I said, and then put a beautiful box on the table, then slowly opened it, "It's on the market!"
A pair of beautiful golden persimmons suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Feng Xiao, I like your gift very much. Thank you!" Lin Yi was overjoyed.
I clearly heard my parents making surprised sounds at this moment.
Everyone drank a lot of wine in the evening.
I remember that of the years I spent growing up, the one I remember most was when I was a child. At that time, there were New Year’s money, new clothes, firecrackers, guests, and delicious food. Later, as life got better and better,
Those precious things that I once felt are no longer remembered in my heart.
Before Lin Yi left, he handed something to his father, "Brother, this is a little thought from me. Please accept it."
What he was holding was a pile of documents, and I didn’t know what it was. Of course my father was also surprised, “What is this?”
"This is an off-road vehicle I bought for you, a Cherokee. It's cheap, but very practical. It will be very convenient for you to go fishing or something like that on weekends. Once the procedures are completed, you can pick up the vehicle in your county.
The license plate is also from your local area." Lin Yi said.
My father was stunned, "How can this be done? How much will it cost?"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I originally wanted to buy you a better car, but I was afraid that you wouldn't want it. The Cherokee is very cheap, costing tens of thousands of yuan. But now it is more convenient to have a car. Don't you think so?"
My father was very emotional, "Brother, you have thought too carefully. You actually sent someone to go to our place to go through the formalities."
"Brother, we are a family. Please don't be too polite about this little thing. Think about it, our daughter has become like this now, and Feng Xiao has never left her. We are also very grateful." Lin
Easy to say.
The father didn't want to say anything else, so he immediately took the things in his hands. Lin Yi and Shi Yanni left immediately.
"Feng Xiao, do you know why he gave me this car?" my father asked me.
"He is a generous and generous person. Tens of thousands of dollars is a small thing to him. It is mainly for your convenience." I said, feeling ashamed: I should have handled this matter, but I never thought of it at all.
.
The father shook his head, "No, he wants you to treat his daughter better. I am your father, and he thinks I have a better say in how to treat his daughter."
I shook my head, "Dad, you are overthinking, that's not the case. A Cherokee is really cheap. It only costs more than 70,000 yuan on the market now. After the formalities are completed, it only costs more than 80,000 and less than 90,000 yuan."
.”
"Your father-in-law thinks very carefully about everything. No wonder he was able to build the company to such a large scale. His success is no fluke. This man is really different!" my father sighed.
"Yes. He really considers things very carefully and always makes people feel comfortable, making it difficult for others to refuse easily." I nodded.
"Take this car for example. It's really not that valuable, but that's just from the perspective of the car. But as he said himself, if he gave me a car worth hundreds of thousands, I would really
It’s unacceptable. He is a very powerful person who analyzes each other’s psychology at every turn. Feng Xiao, he has just said that he is grateful for your persistence in leaving his daughter. Haven’t you understood his intentions?
"?" My father looked at me and said.
I didn't take it seriously, "I never thought of giving up on Chen Yuan."
"It's really hard on you." His father sighed, but his eyes were looking at Azhu who was clearing the dining table with his mother.
I suddenly understood: It turns out that what my father said just now might have been meant for Ah Zhu. Could it be that he felt something?
Immediately, his father said something else, "Feng Xiao, why do I feel like I have returned to the legendary old society? Your classmate gave me a gift made of gold, and the gift you gave to your father-in-law was also gold. Could it be that you
Are you really too rich to tolerate other things?"
I hurriedly said: "Dad, am I still following your idea? But after all, he is the big boss, and I am his son-in-law and a junior. I really can't get rid of a basket of persimmons."
But my father said lightly: "As far as I know from Chinese history, any dynasty in which all the people pursue luxury will not last long."
I disagreed in my heart, "Dad, some things have nothing to do with us. We don't need to take care of such big things, and we can't. But as a junior, I can't really give him a basket of persimmons, right? After all, he is our Jiangnan
The richest man. Although the thing I gave him was made of gold, it was not worth much. It was only tens of thousands of dollars, which is almost the same as the car he gave you. Things are not important, as long as they feel valuable.
Just make sense."
The father sighed, "I wonder if I am falling behind or the society has really changed? Alas! But I really can't stand your luxurious lifestyle."
I think I should have a serious discussion about this issue with my father, "Dad, how can this be called luxury? What is the difference between putting money in a bank and turning it into gold? It is not necessarily true that gold can preserve its value better."
The father shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about. Think about it when you were a child, you were so happy when I gave you ten yuan as a lucky gift. What about now? I think even if I give you a thousand yuan, you will get ten thousand yuan."
You won't be so happy, right? Because your expectations are completely different from before. The higher a person's expectations, the less happiness he will feel, which is a very sad thing."
I said: "High expectations are not necessarily a bad thing. As long as my money is earned reasonably and legally, the process of making money itself is a sense of happiness."
"There is only so much wealth in society. If you have more, others will have less," my father said.
"Modern society should encourage everyone to struggle and fight hard. If everyone is waiting to eat from the big pot, how can this society progress?" I suddenly laughed, because I felt that my father's ideas were really backward.
"I think Feng Xiao is right. What's wrong with making more money? Doesn't that just mean that this person is capable? Don't educate him with your old ideas." At this time, the mother came over and said.
"You guys..." Father sighed.
Later, when my father left, he left behind the gifts that Kang Demao gave to him and his mother, but took away the things that Lin Yi gave to him. I found that my father was really a very realistic person, because he could never combine gold with that
Equivalent to the value of the car.
Azhu also came over, holding the red envelope in her hand, the red envelope given to her by Lin Yi, "Feng Xiao, there is a lot of money in it. I'm really embarrassed."
"How many?" I asked her with a smile.
"It seems like eight thousand, and there is a shopping card." She said.
"It's okay. Just take it. This little money is nothing to him." I said.
But my father gave me a meaningful look. Of course I understood what my father meant. He must have thought that Lin Yi did this to remind Azhu that Xiao Nan is Feng Xiao’s wife.
I don’t know why, but I also think that Lin Yi may have such an intention. But I think A-Zhu is very bad at dealing with things, because my father also gave her a red envelope. I just noticed that the red envelope that my father gave her contained at most
Two thousand yuan. So, I think Ah Zhu shouldn’t talk about the red envelope in front of my parents.
A person's naivety and tragedy lies in his unawareness.
Fortunately, my father is more generous, or he understands Ah Zhu's naivety, and maybe it's because of my dead mentor and Ah Zhu's parents that he doesn't care about her.
"Feng Xiao, look how much he gave you?" my father said to me.
I took out the card Lin Yi gave to the child from my pocket, and the envelope he gave me.
"There must be a lot of money in this card." I said, "He gave it to his grandson. I don't want to check it. Let's wait until the child grows up."
"The child is still our grandson, but it's a pity that we don't have that much money," the father said.
Only then did I realize that I had made the same mistake as Azhu, and I hurriedly said: "Dad, why are you saying that? Isn't the New Year's money just for the sake of it? It can be any amount. Look at what he gave me, it seems that there is at most only
Two hundred yuan. That’s what it means.”
As I said that, I opened the envelope, but I found that it didn't contain any money at all!
"What is it?" My father also saw it and asked me immediately.
I hurriedly took a look at Azhu. I guess she didn't see what I pulled out of the envelope just now, so I smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's only two hundred yuan."
My father immediately understood, "Yes, it's just a meaning."
Inside the envelope were two receipts, shopping receipts.
I took a quick look and saw that one bill contained everything from coats to shirts, two sets in total. There was also a bill for leather shoes worth hundreds of thousands.
After Azhu left, my father asked me: "What is this? Is it so valuable?"
"Clothes. New clothes." I smiled bitterly.
My father was immediately surprised, "How can you wear such expensive clothes? You are a doctor. If you wear such clothes to work, others will gossip about you."
"I am his son-in-law, and he wants me to dress tastefully. You see, he has already bought it. I can't return it, right? I definitely won't wear it when I go to work. I will attend banquets and other events with him in the future.
It comes in handy. I understand, he felt that I was too poorly dressed when we went out to eat with him before, which damaged his reputation as the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River." I replied, feeling a little strange: he wasn't
Have you always been very low-key? Why did you buy me such expensive clothes?
The father shook his head, "I really don't understand these rich people. Is it necessary to buy a set of clothes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's such a luxury. Feng Xiao, I'm really worried about you."
"You old man, really. What are you worried about? I heard that those who are leaders, a pair of glasses costs millions. They are made of tortoise shell." The mother came over and said with a smile. She came out with the child in her arms.
Feed the child milk.
I went to see the child, "Mom, have you noticed? The child seems to have grown up a lot."
The mother looked at the child, her face full of kindness, "Yes. Children grow up when the wind blows."
I nodded and said, "It seems that the pediatrician's suggestion is right. He suggested giving the child an injection of immune globulin. You see, the child rarely gets sick."
“So, the medical conditions in big cities are much better,” my mother said.
I took the opportunity and said: "Then you should move here. Then we will move to the villa."
"Let's talk about it in a few years," his father said immediately, "Feng Xiao, what will you do in the future? Chen Yuan is like this. Hey!"
"I believe she will wake up." I said.
Father and mother looked at each other and fell silent.
Later, it was my mother who broke the silence, "Nowadays, the Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more ugly."
"Call A-Zhu out and watch the party together. This is also part of the Chinese New Year," said the father.
So I went to call Azhu.
When I knocked on the door of her room, I found that she had turned into a tearful person. Then I found the diary in her hand, and I immediately understood.
"Azhu, don't watch today. Let's spend the last day of this year happily together." I said to her softly.
"No, I don't want to leave my sadness until next year." She said and gently took me out of the door.
I couldn't help but sigh.
My father, mother and I watched TV together until early in the morning. The new year has begun.
However, what I didn't expect was that just when my father proposed to go to bed early, I suddenly received a call from Su Hua, "Feng Xiao, I have already boarded the train and will arrive early tomorrow morning."
"What's the matter? What happened?" I asked.
"I wanted to endure it and stay at home until after the Chinese New Year, but I really couldn't stand their nagging anymore and it made me so angry," she said, and then she started crying.
"You must be going to argue with your parents. Otherwise, how could it be possible?" I said. I know her character, and I guess this must be the reason why the conflict intensified.
"Feng Xiao, why don't you understand me? Do I have to die to make you all happy?" she said loudly on the phone.
I was immediately shocked, "Su Hua, stop thinking like this. Okay, I understand you. Tell me when the train will arrive? I will drive to pick you up."
"It's half past five in the morning," she said.
I was startled and then said, "Okay, I'll pick you up on time."
After I put down the phone, I realized that my parents were looking at me in surprise.
The purpose of Su Hua's call was obvious, which was to ask me to pick her up.
I set an alarm on my phone and took the time to rest. Looking at my parents’ surprised eyes, I only said one sentence: "My senior sister will arrive early tomorrow morning, oh, no, early today. From now on, she will take care of Chen Yuan."
.”
The mother seemed to want to say something but was interrupted by the father, "Okay, go to bed early."
I got up before five o'clock on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. After getting up, I only felt cold, but I could only insist on going out and driving.
It was still dark outside, and under the street lamp I couldn't tell whether it was morning or night. When I went downstairs, I felt the surroundings were quiet, and I suddenly felt lonely and uncomfortable. But when I thought about Su Hua's current situation,
Thinking that she might feel this kind of loneliness more than me, I felt a lot better. After getting out of the elevator, I quickly walked outside. The outside of the car was wrapped in a layer of frost, and when I opened the door, I felt a biting chill.
It hit my bones. I hurriedly started the car and found that the engine was working a little slowly. I immediately knew that it was also affected by the cold, so I waited for five minutes until the engine's running sound became normal before slowly driving the car.
Out of the community.
It was so quiet that no one else could be seen on the street. I was the only car driving on the whole road. I increased the accelerator and drove towards the train station. Suddenly, I saw a car beside the road under the dim street lights.
There seemed to be a man jogging on the sidewalk in the morning. He was a man, because I could see his head from a distance. He was wearing a red sportswear and was running slowly forward at a constant speed. I couldn't help but admire him.
This person: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this person got up so early to exercise. It is obvious that this is a person who insists on exercising. Even on a day like today, he did not lazily sleep in bed.
When passing him, I lightly stepped on the brakes to slow down my speed. I wanted to see the face of this persistent man. I saw clearly that he was an old man. I couldn't help but sigh: When a person reaches this state,
Only when you are older will you cherish your life more. Exercise is also an effective way for people to stay healthy.
Suddenly I remembered something: When I was a graduate student, I insisted on getting up in the morning and running for a while. At that time, my purpose of running was not only for health, but more to vent my strong energy. One day,
When I was running, I met a person, a teacher in the physical education department of the school. He always insisted on running in the morning. After meeting him, he said that he had been running long-distance for decades. Later I learned from the side that he was running in the morning.
I am over sixty years old and have never been married, so I feel a little emotional: Why does such a person pursue longevity? How interesting is that? Of course, that is just what I am thinking. But from now on, I still have to say hello to him every day when I run.
However, half a year later, I didn’t see him one morning. I thought he was sick, so I didn’t pay attention to him. However, in the next half month, I didn’t find any trace of him, so I went to ask. Someone told me
I told him that he died of bone cancer. I was very shocked and stopped running in the morning.
The reason I stopped running in the morning was because someone said something to me: When a person is dead, you can’t escape no matter how much you run. Later I realized a truth: exercising in this way has no impact on a person’s lifespan.
On the contrary, since plants are not performing photosynthesis in the morning, the carbon dioxide content in the air is much higher, so this kind of exercise is harmful to the human body. We think the reason why the air is good in the morning is just because the air contains
There are just more negative ions than during the day.
Of course, the reason why I decided not to run in the morning is just that. The precise reason is because another friend who likes to run in the morning told me something: one morning he went for a morning run as usual.
As a result, he ran into the dead physical education teacher. At that time, he didn't think of the fact that he was dead, so he didn't feel scared. He greeted the physical education teacher as usual, but what he didn't expect was that
But a teacher ran up to him and said to him: Do you have a lighter? I'll light it up and smoke a cigarette. He then took out the lighter and leaned towards him... However, it was at this moment that he realized that he
There was no shadow of the physical education teacher in front of me! He immediately reacted and was frightened.
"It's really him, wearing that red sportswear." The man told me.
I stopped running in the morning because I was afraid of meeting that physical education teacher like that person. Who said that people who study medicine are not superstitious?
Later I found out that that person was lying to me because he was looking for a reason why he couldn't continue because he was married. However, it was difficult for me to continue this sport. People are inherently lazy and once some things stop
Once you get down, it will be difficult to continue.
And now, when I drove past this old man, I suddenly remembered that he seemed familiar to me. I suddenly thought of the dead physical education teacher. Goosebumps suddenly appeared on my back, and cold sweat suddenly soaked through me.
He hit his back. He hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror and was shocked to find that there was nothing behind his car.
What the hell?! I stepped on the brakes suddenly and the car stopped. I sat on the driver's seat and found that my body was stiff.
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?" Suddenly, an old man's face appeared outside the passenger car, wearing a red sportswear. What kind of ghost was there! There was white mist from his breath outside his mouth, and there was also
He didn't look like that physical education teacher at all. I immediately understood that when I looked in the rearview mirror just now, this person should have been at the rear of my car, which was the blind spot of the car.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's okay. I really admire you for persisting in exercising in such a cold weather."
"I'm used to it." He said with a smile, while jumping on the spot with a very strong figure. "Young man, don't sit in the car all the time. More exercise is good for your body."
I drove the car slowly, "Thank you for the reminder. I'm going to pick someone up."
"Young man, let me tell you something. When you are young, you use your health in exchange for money. When you are old, it is not cost-effective to use money to gain health." He said loudly behind my car.
His words shocked me for a moment, "Thank you for reminding me!" I answered loudly and drove away, thinking: This is another wise old man.
Su Hua was stamping her feet in the cold outside the train station because I was a few minutes late.
"Sorry, I got up a little late." I apologized to her.
"It's okay. I'm sorry that I asked you to pick me up so early on the first day of the new year. The main reason is that I don't know where you live. Also, I'm worried that it's not safe so early." She said, and after getting in the car, she suddenly picked her up.
Her hand touched the inside of my neck, and I immediately felt her hand as cold as ice into my bone marrow. Her hand suddenly aroused a layer of goosebumps all over my body. I hurriedly broke away from her, "
I've turned on the air conditioner, please put your hands on the vents."
"Feng Xiao, you don't like me like this?" she asked me.
"Su Hua, do you know? I have concerns about asking you to take care of Chen Yuan. We can't do what we did before. Otherwise, I won't be able to face Chen Yuan, let alone her parents.
."I said.
"I understand, you just think of me as the nanny you hired." She was stunned for a moment and then said in a low voice.
Her words made me feel a little ashamed and embarrassed, so I hurriedly said: "Su Hua, I understand your current state of mind. But please remember, I never mean to treat you as a nanny, but I need your help.
I said that I will find a way to arrange another job for you in the future. Let you continue to work as a doctor. You know, professional things will be lost even if they are not used for a short period of time, so I thought of letting you temporarily
Do the job."
"Thank you," she said, "and the treatment you gave me is not low."
I shook my head, "Chen Yuan's father said that your previous salary and benefits will continue to be given to you, and you will still be an employee of his company. Of course, the agreement between us will also take effect. Su Hua, I think you can take advantage of it now."
Take this opportunity to read more books, wouldn’t it be better to take a PhD or something this year?”
She shook her head, "I will definitely fail the political review in the future."
I immediately laughed, "Isn't that simple? Just change your file then."
"I understand, you don't want to continue looking for a job for me," she said.
"Don't get me wrong. I think you can find a better job. As long as you get a doctorate, you can work in any hospital across the country. Wouldn't that be better? Because then you will
You can start your life again." I said hurriedly.
"I'm already in my thirties. Are you interested?" she said in a low voice.
"If you retire at the age of sixty in the future, you can still work for at least another twenty years, right? Of course it's worth it," I said.
"I'll think about it," she said.
I immediately laughed, "What else are you thinking about? That's it."
"If I want to take the exam, I will take it from another province. I want to leave this city," she said.
"Okay. Your grades should be fine." I encouraged her.
"Okay, I've decided. Feng Xiao, thank you." She said.
I'm very happy because I know that as long as she has confidence, nothing will go wrong in the future. She should be relatively outstanding professionally, but sometimes she is too sloppy.
Therefore, I think it is worthwhile to pick her up today. At least several problems have been solved. These problems were the ones I was most worried about.
The room at home is limited, so I arranged for Su Hua to live with Azhu temporarily. Although the study is currently empty, I think that would be very inconvenient, because the study is also a public place for everyone.
Su Hua is very good. The first thing she did when she arrived at my home was to see Chen Yuan's medical records, and then she also checked her basic condition.
"No bedsores, that's the most important thing," she said.
I nodded and said, "Yes. Now my mother is wiping her body every day. She also uses talcum powder."
"I understand. I will do these things for her every day from now on. But Feng Xiao, I looked at her treatment medications and did not use nutritional solutions. This is very expensive. How can it be done in the long run?" she said,
"Let's do this. I don't need my salary anymore. You just need to take care of my food."
I was a little moved, shook my head and said, "It's okay. Her parents are so rich that they don't care about this expense. And I can also support this expense myself."
"I feel that I am very unlucky, but it turns out that you and Chen Yuan are even more unlucky than me. Alas!" She let out a long sigh.
"You can't say that." I said, "As long as a person has friends who care about him at all times, he is the happiest. So, I hope you can cheer up and don't let us all down."
She suddenly laughed, "Feng Xiao, I never thought you could speak with such skill. You are really like my teacher."
I also felt that what I just said was too similar to the tone of a leader or a teacher, so I laughed and said, "I just said this as I thought of it."
"It seems that you have spent a lot of time in contact with the leader recently, and it has become natural to be influenced by what you hear and see." She smiled.
I personally cooked a meal that night. This is what is good for the Spring Festival. Sausage, bacon and other dishes can be used to make several dishes. Because everyone eats meat every day, I specially made some more vegetarian dishes. As a result, these vegetarian dishes were eaten by everyone.
Sold out in one fell swoop.
"Don't be complacent, it's not that your food tastes good, it's that everyone wants to eat it." Su Hua said after looking at my proud look.
Everyone burst into laughter.
After dinner, my father said to me: "The two of us go out for a walk."
I figured he might have something to say to me, so I followed him out of the house.
"Your mother and I are going back tomorrow." This was the first thing my father said to me.
I was shocked, "Why? It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow? No matter what, I have to go back after the 15th day of the New Year."
"We feel heartbroken to see your current situation, but there is nothing we can do about it. Of course, we can take care of your children, and we can take care of Chen Yuan for you, even if we are asked to retire early. But we thought about it and felt that you
This arrangement is best now. After all, we are not professionals. Feng Xiao, you don’t know how many times your mother has cried secretly in the past few days. She said you are suffering too much. Although you are not short of money now, you
She is a human being, a person of flesh and blood. Chen Yuan is so pitiful, and she also gave birth to a son for you. We can't persuade you to give up on her, right? Therefore, in order not to affect your future life, we decided to go back early.
This prevents you from having to take care of Chen Yuan and the child on the one hand, and on the other hand, you have to think about our life here at all times. Now that your child is still young, our medical conditions there are very limited, so we hope that you will send your child to the hospital after he is one year old.
Come back, and we will help you bring up your child." The father said.
"Dad, you're overthinking it. It's okay as long as you guys live here. Now I have three houses. Zhao Menglei left one house and a villa. I have no right to sell Zhao Menglei's house, but you and
It should be okay for mom to live there. You can live in a villa too. If you feel lonely, I will let Ah Zhu live with you. Anyway, she doesn't want to go home now." I advised my father.
"She doesn't want to go home? She can't live in your house forever, right?" My father asked me in surprise.
"I tried to persuade her, but she said she was afraid of living in her own home. Thinking about it, after all, the place is full of the atmosphere of her parents, and she will definitely miss them." I sighed.
"But, she is a woman after all. If you have so many women living in your home from now on, it will have a bad impact on others if they know about it. Have you thought about this problem?" said the father.
"Yes." I nodded, "I have thought about this issue too. However, it will be better if the nanny is here and Su Hua is here from now on."
My father looked at me and said, "I understand what you mean. This is okay. But your place is still too crowded."
"I'm considering moving to the villa after the new year. It has just been renovated. If you and your mother don't go back, you and Azhu can live there. By the way, you can help me take care of the children. Chen Yuan and I will live there.
This way, it won't affect you. You and your mother live here, and it's very convenient for me to visit you." I said.
"Let's talk about it later. When we retire," my father said.
"Dad, why are you so stubborn? What's so good about your class? Retire early." I said, suddenly feeling a little excited.
"Even if we are moving to the provincial capital, we have to deal with many things at home first, right? We will talk about it after we go back. Feng Xiao, to be honest, we are not used to your current life. You live too luxuriously, and I always
I have a trembling feeling." My father sighed, "Maybe I am too outdated and can no longer get used to the lifestyle of your generation."
I said nothing more, I thought to myself: Maybe they also need time to adapt to this lifestyle in modern society.
Early the next morning, I sent my father to the train station. Although it was during the Spring Festival travel period, soft sleeper tickets were not difficult to buy. What was difficult to buy were hard seat tickets. Ordinary people's lives are always the most difficult.
The train station is crowded with people, and every corner is occupied by people. There are many children here. Of course, the children are taken by their parents. However, I can see from the eyes of these people, including those of the children.
I saw a kind of sadness and helplessness.
I don’t understand: why bother doing this? Instead of staying at the train station on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it’s better to spend the New Year here as a family. I found that the Chinese people’s Spring Festival complex is too strong.
My father began to feel uncomfortable when he saw these people in the station. When he left, he said to me: "Feng Xiao, when you are living a luxurious life, think about these people."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that my father was sometimes too "left-wing". I am a doctor, and speaking for myself, I am fully capable of trying to find ways to reduce the medical expenses of poor patients when I encounter them, and I also try my best to
to treat them carefully. But I feel that social problems like the one in front of me are not my responsibility. Otherwise, why would we support those officials? I have seen my tax bill and the taxes I pay every month.
Quite a lot.
As a citizen, I have a responsibility to pay taxes, and the work of poverty alleviation has little to do with me. This is my truest thought. Of course, I will not say my truest thought in front of my father.
, because I dare not.
After sending my parents away, I found that I actually felt relaxed. Although I knew I shouldn't feel this way, it really happened to me. I thought to myself: Maybe my father is right, he
Thinking that I might be more tired with them in my house.
The majesty of my parents exists in my bones. I always have to look perfect in front of them to show them. This is actually a kind of tiredness and a kind of heart fatigue. So, now I feel my father’s dignity.
Open-mindedness and wisdom.
When I walked through the waiting room, I slowed down and slowly observed the people with expressions of sadness. But I left quickly because I found that I was easily attracted by the sadness and sadness they showed.
Infection. Now is the Spring Festival, what I need is a happy mood.
When she got home, Su Hua was wiping Chen Yuan's body. She was doing it very carefully.
"Feng Xiao, now I feel that being a nurse is really tiring." She said to me with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work." I said to her gratefully, "I'll do it while you prepare the infusion medicines."
"No, you invited me here." She said to me with a smile, and then whispered to me: "Remembering what we did before, I feel very guilty towards her."
I stopped her hastily, "Su Hua, she might be able to hear you."
"How is this possible? She suffered a brain injury, not a coma caused by other reasons," she said.
"I think she should be able to hear it, because I believe she will wake up." I said seriously.
She sighed, "I hope so."
I immediately said seriously: "It's not a wish. Su Hua, I hope that you, like me, will give her a message at any time: she can wake up, she will definitely wake up. You are a doctor, it is important to know this hint."
She was silent for a moment.
Ah Zhu is changing the baby's diaper.
"Feng Xiao, this kid is so awesome, he pooped a lot of shit." Azhu said to me with a smile.
I also laughed, "Dry or watery?"
"It was a bit dry, period after period. The child cried loudly for a while just now. It was probably because it was difficult to poop," she said.
"I'm going to buy honey for my child right away. Honey will make it no longer difficult for him to defecate," I said.
"Feng Xiao, I'll buy it later. You have to buy real honey. There are too many fake honeys now." Su Hua said loudly in the bedroom. It was obvious that she heard what A-Zhu and I were talking about.
"Can you tell the real thing from the fake one?" I asked.
"It's very simple, just buy the most expensive one. Money can tell the difference between genuine and fake." She said with a smile.
"I'll go." Azhu said.
I shook my head, "Forget it, I'd better go. Or I can buy honeysuckle."
"It would be better if the child is older. You can let him eat bananas. Bananas also make the stool soft," Su Hua said.
"You two are so good, you might as well become godmothers to your children." I said with a smile.
They were immediately overjoyed, "Okay. When will you ask him to kowtow to us?"
"What are you kowtowing for? Just agree. Chen Yuan is here, so I agreed on Chen Yuan's behalf." I smiled.
Azhu immediately went to kiss the child and said, "It's great, I have a son."
"You should find a boyfriend as soon as possible and then give birth to a child yourself." I said to her with a smile.
"Feng Xiao, I want this son. I'm too lazy to give birth." Azhu glared at me and said.
I laughed, "I've only heard of people being lazy about other things, but I've never seen anyone say they're too lazy to have children."
Su Hua was also laughing inside.
I don't think we would have made such a joke if my parents were here.
After dinner in the evening, the three of them were watching TV together. Su Hua suddenly said: "It would be great if there was one more person. We can play mahjong."
I burst out laughing immediately, "Su Hua, what kind of mahjong are you playing?"
"You want to read a book, and A-Zhu wants to surf the Internet. You only have a study room, how can you do that?" Su Hua said.
"If you are determined to take the Ph.D. exam, I will give you the study room. I believe Azhu will agree," I said.
"Sister Su Hua wants to take the Ph.D. exam? OK, I support you," Azhu said.
"You guys make me feel so stressed. What if I fail to pass the exam in the future?" Su Hua said with a bitter smile.
"It's very simple. I'll punish you if you fail the exam. Let you treat us to seafood." I said with a smile, and then went to look at Azhu and smile. I knew she would definitely agree to my plan, because she seemed to like seafood the most.
Sure enough, Azhu also said: "I want to eat abalone and drink foreign wine."
"Oh my god. Am I going to go bankrupt?" Su Hua exclaimed. We laughed. I know that Su Hua needs not only confidence, but also pressure.
"Then I'll start reading from tomorrow." Su Hua then said.
"Don't talk about tomorrow again tomorrow. A-Zhu and I have both heard tomorrow's story." I reminded her with a smile.
"No. It will be tomorrow." She vowed.
However, she regretted it the next day because Zhuang Qing came.
Zhuang Qing arrived in the provincial capital on the third day of the Lunar New Year. She didn't ask me to pick her up. She said she had just gotten off the bus and took a taxi directly to my home. She asked for the specific address of my home.
"I want to come and see Chen Yuan. Then I'll stay in a hotel and go back to Beijing tomorrow. The main reason is that I don't want to cause any trouble to you." She finally said to me.
"Let the taxi driver talk to me later, and I'll tell him the address." I said.
"When I arrived, you had to come down to pick me up. My father killed the fat pig and said he would bring you some pork that was not fed with feed. He also brought you two chickens. You don't know, he killed me along the way.
I was exhausted, but luckily I hired someone for help. It was too expensive to hire someone during the Spring Festival, and it cost fifty yuan to move. The pork became the price of tiger meat," she said with a laugh.
I couldn't help but be horrified, "You wouldn't have brought the whole pig here, would you?"
"Half." She smiled. "It's more than a hundred pounds. Okay, I'm getting in the taxi. You tell the driver."
I immediately told the driver the address and said to him: "Let her answer the phone in person."
"Zhuang Qing, please ask the person you just invited to come with you, and I will give him the money as well." I said.
"Let's go. You can move with me when we get here." She said and hung up the phone immediately. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What's going on?" Su Hua asked me.
"Zhuang Qing came from the countryside. She brought more than 100 kilograms of pork and two chickens." I said.
Su Hua and Azhu laughed, "So many?" Azhu asked me, "Who is Zhuang Qing?"
Su Hua glanced at me, "The former nurse in our department was very beautiful. Now she is an actress. She is Feng Xiao's good friend."
Ah Zhu then looked at me with a strange look, "Feng Xiao, how good is your relationship with Zhuang Qing?"
I said politely: "Aren't we just good friends?"
Azhu glared at me and said, "It seems that you are really not a good person."
I hurriedly looked at Su Hua, and it was very obvious that I wanted to ask for help. Su Hua then smiled and said, "Azhu, I'm joking. But this little nurse is really awesome. You'll know it when you see her soon."
I suddenly remembered Su Hua's previous holiday with Zhuang Qing, and hurriedly said: "Su Hua, don't be like this. She has gone out now, and she didn't mean to get into trouble with you before. And Director Qiu, maybe you misunderstood before.
She got it."
"I'm already like this, why do I still care about the past? Forget it, I'll just avoid her. I'll go shopping right away," Su Hua said.
Azhu also said: "Sister Su Hua, I'm going too. Leave the house to the two of them. Out of sight, out of mind."
I couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't make such a joke? Now that you are gone, what will happen to the child and Chen Yuan?"
"Aren't you worried about us being light bulbs?" Azhu asked me.
"What kind of light bulb? Chen Yuan and the children are both here." I replied with a wry smile.
Azhu looked at me with a strange expression, "It seems that the relationship between you two is indeed not an ordinary one? It's just because your wife and children are here that you don't dare to do that."
Only then did I realize that I had been deceived by her, and I felt embarrassed and angry at the same time, "Whatever you think. Go ahead, both of you."
"No! I want to see what this beautiful nurse looks like." Azhu said angrily.
"Yes. I won't go out either. I also want to see what this little girl turns into. As for the actress, she said she may not become a big star in the future." Su Hua also said.
I couldn't laugh or cry, so I couldn't help but shake my head. I thought: Why are women like this?
Zhuang Qing arrived half an hour later.
Azhu said: "Let's go, I'll help you get your things. I want to see the little nurse right away."
"I'll go too." Su Hua said.
"You are left alone at home. No one is watching your child and Chen Yuan," I said.
"You stay at home, A-Zhu and I will go down." Su Hua said to me with a smile.
"You can't carry so many things." I said hurriedly.
"Are you worried that the two of us will bully her?" Azhu asked.
I became even more embarrassed, "What did you say?"
"Then you stay at home. Sister Su Hua and I will go down. Don't worry, we won't bully her." Azhu said, then laughed and went out with Su Hua. I originally wanted to chase her out, but I thought of the child.
I was at home with Chen Yuan and I didn't dare to leave for a moment. So I had to sit on the sofa and sigh.
They went down for twenty minutes but still didn't come back. I was very anxious and wanted to call several times to ask about the situation, but I didn't want them to laugh at me for a while, so I had to pace anxiously in the living room.
Nothing will happen to them? They won't quarrel, right? I feel uneasy.
Finally, I heard laughter from outside, Zhuang Qing's laughter. I hurriedly went out to see... I was shocked to see Zhuang Qing and Su Hua appearing outside arm in arm. The two of them
Behind him is A-Zhu, and behind A-Zhu is a man who looks like a migrant worker.
I was very surprised: How could this happen? I really don’t understand this woman!
