Chapter Thirty-Nine

My mother looked at me there with worry on her face.

I went over to comfort her and said, "It's okay. I talked to Dad and he didn't have that idea."

My mother looked at me doubtfully, "Really? What did he say?"

I replied: "Mom, do you remember? Dad has never lied to me. Do you think so?" [

The mother was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Yes."

Then I said to her: "Mom, there is something I haven't told you and my dad. You also have a grandson, Yuanyuan's younger brother."

My mother immediately looked at me in astonishment and was pleasantly surprised, "Really? Then hurry up and pick her up and let your dad see it."

I hurriedly said: "I'll go right away."

At this time, the mother suddenly remembered something, "Xiao'er, who is the mother of that child? You also brought her for us to see her?"

I was embarrassed and said, "Mom, don't ask. She is already married to someone else."

The mother was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sighed: "Hey! You..."

I guess my mother thought about this wrongly. She must have thought that I had been abandoned by the mother of my child. But I didn’t want to explain too much to her, because this matter made it difficult for me to open my mouth again.

Then I quickly walked out the door. But now what I was thinking about was: how to convince Yu Min.

I guessed that Yu Min's husband must have gone to work at this time, so I called her directly, "Yu Min, I want to meet you."

She whispered: "Feng Xiao, didn't I tell you last time? Please don't disturb our lives. Okay?"

I apologized: "Yu Min, I really don't want to disturb your and your child's current life, but I can't help it. Can we talk about it after we meet? I'm begging you. Really, there is something I must ask you to help me with."

Just a favor."

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "Okay."

I was overjoyed, "I'll come downstairs to pick you up. Please hold the baby, please."

At this moment, she suddenly felt strange, and her voice was alert, "Why do you need to take care of the child?"

I think the only way to tell her on the phone is, "Yu Min, my father has terminal liver cancer and he wants to see his grandson. Yu Min, I beg you, let the child and his grandfather see each other for the last time. Okay.

?"

She immediately exclaimed, "Ah..." Then she suddenly asked me, "Why did you tell your father about the child?"

I said: "The situation is very complicated. Let's talk about it after we meet. Okay? Yu Min, I really beg you. You know, I have never asked you for anything. Please, okay?"

"

She hesitated for a moment again, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the department store not far outside our community."[

I was overjoyed and hurriedly drove towards the place she mentioned.

When I drove outside the department store, I saw Yu Min holding her child and waiting for me. Today she was wearing a dark red dress, her hair neatly tied back her head, and she was holding her child in her arms.

The child was wearing shorts and shorts, which looked like a new set of clothes.

Yu Min looks very young today, as if she looked a bit like she did when I first met her.

I stopped the car, quickly got out of the car and ran towards her. She saw me and immediately smiled at me.

"Give me the baby. I'll give it to you after we get in the car." I said to her, with a flattering look on my face.

She was startled for a moment, and then put the child in my hands. I held the child and looked at him. I found that the little guy in my hand was very cute, and I also thought it was amazing: Why does he look like me so much?

Seeing that I was holding the baby and not moving, Yu Min hurriedly said to me: "Get in the car quickly, this is very close to my home."

I looked at her apologetically, then carried the child to the car. After she sat down, I handed the child to her and asked her casually: "He didn't go to work today?"

She said: "I'm at work. But I don't want anything to go wrong. Now my children and I need such a peaceful life."

I was silent for a moment.

She immediately said to me: "Drive forward, I want to ask you why."

I nodded, then quickly turned the car into an alley and stopped. Then I told her about my father's situation, and finally I said to her: "Yu Min, I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have done this.

But I think that this child is my father's grandson after all, and now that his time in this world is short, I think he should be allowed to leave happily. That's why I shamelessly come to ask you."

She was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Let's go."

I was very grateful to her, "Thank you, Yu Min."

She said softly: "After all, the child is your flesh and blood, and he should also see his grandfather for the last time. But I really don't want you to disturb our lives anymore in the future. Brother Feng, you must promise me. Okay?"

"

I nodded, feeling a mixture of emotions in my heart.

However, when I stopped the car in front of my house, Yu Min immediately handed the child to me, "You can take the child in, I'll wait outside."

I looked at her in astonishment.

Her face immediately turned red, "I am someone else's wife after all. Please understand me."

I looked at her and couldn't help but feel extremely guilty, "I'm sorry for embarrassing you."

Immediately, I saw her starting to cry, "Brother Feng, I will do anything for you. Don't say that."

The child was in my arms, and he stretched out his little hand to touch my face, and immediately let out a "giggle" laugh. The child's laughter was very pleasant. [`Novel`] I was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "I seem to recognize this child."

I."[

She immediately smiled, "The child is very smart and can now walk slowly. I am very happy to see the child getting better day by day."

I suppressed the urge to kiss the child and said softly to Yu Min: "Yu Min, I sincerely hope that I can help you and the child. Maybe you will think I am hypocritical, but this is what I feel in my heart

The truest thoughts.”

She shook her head slightly and said: "I said, I will not come to you unless I have to. We have the ability to raise our children."

I sighed and got out of the car with my child in my arms.

Before I entered the house, I turned around and took a look at the car, but I found that Yu Min had already gotten out of the car and was running out from behind the car. I immediately understood: she didn't want my parents to see her.

she.

At this moment, my mood suddenly became complicated, and I suddenly felt deeply guilty towards her.

I carried the child into the house and found that my father, mother and Meng Yuan were in the living room, but the nanny was not there. I immediately understood: my parents must not want the nanny to know that I have another child, so they found something.

She left the house on an excuse.

My parents saw me coming in with my child in my arms. They immediately became excited and ran over to take a look. My mother was surprised and said: "This child looks exactly like Xiao'er when he was a child! Old Feng, look...

..really exactly the same.”

Father smiled and nodded, "Well, it really looks like it."

My mother's hand stretched out towards the child in my arms, "I'll give it a hug."

I gave the child to her. The mother immediately went to kiss the child and said, "This child is so good. Xiao'er, why didn't you tell us about this earlier? I like him so much. Why don't you just take the child back?

I will bring you up together. Lao Feng, give me a hug too. You see, he looks exactly like Xiaoer when he was a child. When I look at this child, I feel like I have returned to my youth."

The father was grinning, but shaking his head at the same time, "I will scare the child if I act like this. Now Meng Yuan hides when she sees me."

At this moment, Meng Yuan, who was playing with toys just now, suddenly burst into tears next to him. It was probably because he noticed that we had diverted our attention to him.

I hurriedly picked him up and said, "Stop crying, Yuanyuan is a good boy. Come and see, this is your brother."

Yuanyuan looked at the child in her grandma's arms with a very surprised expression. But then something unexpected happened.

Yuanyuan suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the hair of the child in my mother's arms. He pulled hard! The child was frightened by the sudden attack and burst into tears.

stand up.

At this moment, my heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then a kind of anger surged into my heart. Without thinking, I stretched out my hand and hit the child in my arms, "Yuanyuan, you

Why are you doing this?!"

The child in my arms suddenly burst into tears, and the cries of the two children filled my entire home. My mother immediately criticized me and said, "What are you doing? What do children know? You

Why are you beating the child?! Really!"

At this time, I also regretted it. You know, I was an older child for the first time. And at this time, my heart hurt even more, because I suddenly remembered that Chen Yuanmengyuan was also a miserable child...

The child in my arms struggled violently, and I had no choice but to put him on the ground. His crying stopped, and then he shouted loudly toward the child in my mother's arms, "Shemy Grnmother!"

I was shocked immediately.

My mother was also stunned for a moment, and then asked me: "What was he talking about just now?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Nothing. He said you are his grandma."

The mother's face suddenly changed, and she began to cry, "My dear, you are all my good grandchildren..."

My father’s face also became ugly, and he asked me: “Where is this child’s mother?”

I replied awkwardly: "Outside. She doesn't want to come in."

The father sighed and said, "Hey! Look at what you did. It doesn't matter, I saw the child, and I am very happy. You can take the child and return it to others, and don't disturb her and the child's life in the future."

I nodded hurriedly, and now I felt even more uncomfortable.

The mother reluctantly returned the child to me, "Xiao'er, can I visit him often in the future?"

I was stunned for a moment, but then my father suddenly said, "No! From now on, you should not disturb other people's current families! That will harm the child! Old woman, go and take my

Bring me your bank card, the one from ICBC."

I was very surprised, "Dad, what are you doing?"

My father glared at me and said, "Don't worry about it. He is also my grandson, and he is still raised in someone else's home. I was very happy to see him today. Anyway, you are not short of money, so I can give this child my own money."

?”

My mother was also very surprised. After hearing what her father said, she immediately agreed and said, "Yes, yes! I'll get it right away."

I handed the child to my father, but he didn't take it. He just reached out and touched the child's hair and face, "He really looks like you when you were a child. From now on, you should pay more attention to this child in secret, as long as you don't influence it."

This child is always yours. You cannot give him fatherly love. When he grows up, you should give him more opportunities to receive the best education. Or help him when his career is not going well.

This is also your responsibility as a father."

My father's tone was gentle and cautious, which made me feel guilty and pertinent after listening to it. In fact, I knew that this was one of my father's expectations and instructions for me. I choked and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will do it."

.”

My father looked at me with kind eyes, "Son, remember what my father said: Nothing is important in this life, what is important is peace and security. Although a smooth career is a sign of success, it is impossible for a person to

When you are an official for a lifetime, your family is the one you should truly cherish."

I choked and nodded. The child in my arms looked at me with his black eyes, seeming to be surprised as to why I was so sad.

At this time, my mother came out and handed a card to my father's hand.

The father held the card and said, "There are more than 300,000 yuan in this card, which is all the savings of your mother and I over the years. Yuanyuan is supported by you, so we don't have to worry about his education in the future. That's right.

This kid...hey! Let's give him this money. It can be regarded as our grandpa's and grandma's thoughts on this kid. My name is on the card, and the password is...Okay, you

Don't let the child's mother wait outside for too long, go ahead and return the child to others."

As he spoke, he handed the card to the child's hand. The child's hand actually grasped the card tightly. Maybe he regarded it as some kind of toy.

I was about to go out with my child when I suddenly saw a round toy on the ground. I immediately picked it up and was about to hand it to the child in my arms. But then Yuanyuan found out and he ran to me angrily.

Looking at me, "Dad, that's mine!"

I sighed in my heart and put the toy back on the ground.

After making the call, Chen Yuan told me that she was waiting for me at the gate outside the community. I held the child in one hand and drove to the outside of the community.

"This is the money given to him by the child's grandfather and grandmother. Although the money in it is not much, it is their life savings. This is also my parents' feelings for their children, so please accept it." I pointed to the money in the child's hand.

Ka said to Chen Yuan.

She looked at me and said, "Well, since it is given to me by the child's grandfather or grandmother, I have the right to refuse. I will save the money for the child."

Afterwards, I sent her and the child back.

When Yu Min hugged the child and left, I suddenly felt a sad feeling of "loss" in my heart.

Then I drove towards Kuzen Temple.

In my heart, although the abbot of Kuchan Temple once lied to me, I still feel that that temple is relatively better in our Jiangnan Province, at least it is not fully commercialized yet.

The abbot of Kuzen Temple looked very uncomfortable when he saw me. I felt apologetic to him, "I'm sorry, it was my fault last time. You are the abbot here, and it is understandable that you have to consider the development of the temple, so I

You should understand."

He sighed and said, "I am a Buddhist, but I am greedy for worldly things. I am ashamed of myself. Amitabha!"

I said: "Although you are monks, you must first consider the issue of survival. Master Abbot, what happened last time was that I was wrong. Because it involved myself, I spoke indiscriminately and clashed with Master. Please also ask

Please forgive me."

He smiled slightly and said, "The donor is too polite. Tell me, why did the donor come today?"

It doesn't surprise me that he can guess that I came here with a request today. Because I apologized to him in such a low voice, I already expressed that I have a request for him. Although he was born in Buddhism, he has nothing to do with the world.

Your mentality may see things more clearly than ordinary people. Otherwise, how can you relieve the troubles of the world?

I hurriedly said: "Master Abbot, I came here for two things today. One is to apologize to you for what happened last time."

He smiled lightly, "That's not necessary."

If it were normal, I would probably be a little embarrassed, but today I really came here to ask for something from him, so I had to bite the bullet and continue, "Master Abbot, I have a very important thing to do today.

I would like to ask for something from you..."

Then I told him about my father's situation, and then put the bag containing one hundred thousand yuan in cash in front of him, "Master Abbot, this is my little incense money, please accept it. I don't have anything else."

What do you mean, I just want to fulfill my father's wish and ask the abbot to fulfill it."

He glanced at the bag, and then said calmly: "Donor, I'm sorry, this is not a hospital. Life and death are serious matters, and the poor monk dare not accept it."

I immediately became anxious, "Don't you believe in Buddhism that you want to save all sentient beings? My father's only wish now is to spend the rest of his life in a temple. I don't have any other high requirements. I just need a clean room every day.

One day, a monk recited sutras to my father, which brought him peace of mind, that's all."

But he still shook his head, "If everyone in the world had such a request, wouldn't our place become a sanatorium?"

I suddenly became secretly angry, but I tried my best to keep myself calm. I said: "Master Abbot, isn't what your Buddhism emphasizes about saving all sentient beings and transcending them to the Western Paradise? In the final analysis, this is a sanatorium.

Ah? It’s a sanatorium where people’s souls can be purified. Master Abbot, do you think so?”

He was startled for a moment, and then recited the Buddha's name loudly, "Amitabha! Donor, you are right, the poor monk is narrow-minded. Since all the benefactor needs is a pure room, it is the duty of a monk to save the world.

It's our responsibility, so we'd better ask the donor to take this thing back. The money for incense donated by the donor before is enough."

I was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Master Abbot, please don't say that. This time I am truly paying respect to the Buddha. So please accept my offer."

The abbot smiled slightly and said, "So the donor didn't really worship my Buddha before?"

I couldn't help but laugh, "Master Abbot, I always like to tell the truth."

The abbot laughed and said, "Amitabha! Since the donor is so sincere, the poor monk accepted it. I hope the donor's father can live in peace and tranquility in the small temple, and be guided by my Buddha to the Western Paradise. This is also considered an item of the small temple.

Great merit. Amitabha!"

I was immediately grateful and said, "Master Abbot, please ask someone to help me clean up the clean room. I will bring my father here in a few days."

He said to me: "Amitabha! Donor, please rest assured."

After returning home, I told my father that I had arranged the clean room in the temple. My father sighed and said, "That's great. Son, you should pay more attention to your mother in the future, especially in the period just after I left."

During the time, you should spend more time talking with your mother, or take her out for a walk."

I am most afraid that my father will talk about such a topic, because such a topic is too uncomfortable and sad, but I can also imagine how sad my mother will be in the future, "Well, don't worry."

My father sighed and said: "The most regretful thing in my life is that when party and government cadres were allowed to stay without pay, I did not make up my mind to go into business. I was too timid at the time, and I was always worried about my career.

I have fantasies. Alas! Now that I think about it, I was so stupid. In the final analysis, it was because I didn’t have that courage. Son, thank you for giving me that opportunity after I retired. If I could turn back time and start my life over again, I would

I would never do such a stupid thing that makes people regret..."

My father's words shocked me because I didn't expect that my father had ever had such a plan, and I didn't even expect that my father was already disappointed with his career. What shocked me was that I had always thought that my father was motivated by his faith.

I was holding on like that, but now it seems that I was wrong. The idea I had was too childish and ridiculous.

From this, I also understood where my mistake occurred: I had always overemphasized the selfishness of my father’s generation in my mind, but in fact, they were ordinary people like me.

This is the most common mistake that sons make. I also believe that many sons have the same understanding of their fathers as I do. This is actually the result of looking up to my father since childhood.

The next morning while eating, my father said to me: "You go to work, I will talk to your mother at home. Although you are the number one, you should take the lead and don't let your subordinates act behind your back."

Talking about you."

I thought about it and felt that I really should go to the work unit and make arrangements with the people below about my recent work in advance, because I might not go to the office often. So I nodded and called immediately.

I called Xiao Sui to pick me up at home.

After arriving at the unit, I held an office meeting. This meeting was mainly to listen to the work reports of the following deputy directors, because I needed to understand the current working status of the unit and discover some problems.

In fact, for a unit like ours, apart from the annual enrollment tasks, many other things are in a state of leisure, so there are not many important things in the unit currently, that is, other batches of exams, such as *

*Education.

The most important thing at the moment is the project at the Admissions and Admissions Center.

"The preliminary design is nearing completion. All the members of the team have read it and put forward some opinions and ideas. Director Feng has also read it, but now we still need to ask Director Feng to sign for confirmation." Ruan Jie

After introducing the entire work progress, he said.

I said: "Well, maybe I have some personal matters to deal with in the next period of time. Director Ruan, please ask the design unit to come over immediately and ask them to introduce the preliminary design plan for the last time. Do you have any specific details?"

Put forward all the opinions together, and then we will finalize it as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed for too long, because if the design matters are always blocked here, the subsequent work will not be able to proceed at all. "

Ruan Jie called immediately.

After the people from the design unit came, they introduced the revised design plan to us in detail using a projection in our conference room. From the perspective of the entire renderings and functional design, I personally feel that I am quite satisfied.

Several other deputy directors also felt quite satisfied. I said: "Then let's make a preliminary decision like this. Next, Director Ruan has to carry out the following work quickly. The design unit can do the architectural design and the site leveling plan at the same time. We have to

Speed ​​up the construction progress, otherwise it will be very difficult to move in next year.”

Ruan Jie said: "There is still one biggest problem, which is transportation difficulties. Since the place we are building is an island, it will be very difficult for construction machinery to enter in the future."

I smiled and said: "You can build a simple pontoon or something first, and then include this part of the budget into the construction cost. It won't cost much."

Ruan Jie said: "If you build a simple pontoon bridge, you have to go to the Waterway Bureau to register. This takes time."

I said: "Anyway, you are already familiar with it. Treat guests when you need to treat guests, give gifts when you need to give gifts, as long as they are not too outrageous. For a project with an investment of tens of millions, spending tens of thousands more is nothing. Everyone said

Yes or no?"

No one has any other opinions. In fact, I know why Ruan Jie said such a thing. It’s because I didn’t delegate power to her. It’s not that I don’t want to delegate power, but that I can’t. Some things may seem trivial, but once they really happen

After delegating power, it is likely to create huge loopholes: tens of thousands here, hundreds of thousands there. If every deputy director is like this, the funds will probably be a big number in a year.

This is why many units are like this. The top leaders always tightly hold the signing power in their own hands.
