I found it, right between two weeping willows. I immediately got rid of Sun Lulu's hand and ran quickly towards the tree. This is a ginkgo tree about seven or eight centimeters in diameter. It stands tall and tall in the pond.
It was in sharp contrast to the nodding and hunched willow trees. I saw a small wooden sign hanging on this ginkgo tree. Under the moonlight, the words on the wooden sign were vaguely visible: Student Zhao Menglei.
I burst into tears and hugged the tree tightly. Its torso was like the body of Zhao Menglei I saw in the detention center, stiff and cold...
Just crying silently like this, no one knows the sadness deep in my heart. No one knows that the passing of Zhao Menglei is the destruction of the most beautiful fantasy in my heart. She was my first love, and all the good things I had were given to me by her.
However, I didn't cherish her so much, and she sadly left this world.
"Hey!" A long sigh brought me back to reality from the grief. It was Sun Lulu, she was standing not far from me. The long sigh was made by her.
I released my hands tightly hugging the ginkgo tree and left it. Then I went to Sun Lulu's side and said, "Let's go."
"Who is she?" she was asking me.
"My ex-wife. Her ashes are buried here." I said.
She took my arm again and asked, "Tell me her story, please?"
"Let's go and sit by the river, and I'll tell you everything about her." I said to her softly. In fact, she didn't know, and now I also need to tell you.
Riverside. Sun Lulu and I sat on a stone step by the river.
The distant mountains, nearby trees, jungles, and mounds are all hazy, as if covered with a veil. The dark night under the moonlight is not uniformly black. The mountains, woods, and hills each have different colors; some are jet black, and some are thick black.
, light black, light black, and silver-like black and gray, which are very similar to Chinese paintings with suitable shades. Below them is a piece of white, which is the river water under the moon. It is spring now, and the water in the river is still there.
It is relatively shallow, and the sound of running water is almost inaudible. Perhaps it is their gentle flow that gives them a mirror-like appearance.
We sat down, and she still held my arm and rested her head on my shoulder. I started to tell, starting from my middle school days and continuing to later, to the death of Zhao Menglei...
I didn’t shed any more tears and told it calmly, as if telling someone else’s story. She didn’t speak for a long time after listening, and just leaned on my shoulder. After a long time, I heard her voice, “Brother Feng, what are you doing now?
You still care about her, right?"
I felt a sense of sadness welling up in my heart, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Lulu, let's not talk about this matter. Now let me talk to you about another matter."
"Lulu, after all, you can be considered my woman. Don't you think so?" I asked her softly.
"...Yes." She replied, hesitating for a moment before answering.
"I asked you to manage the company for me entirely because I trust you and think that you are my woman. Of course, your ability is also the most important factor." I added.
"Brother Feng, what exactly do you want to say to me? Just say it straight, I don't like you beating around the bush like this." She said, her head had already left my shoulder, and her face was already in front of my eyes, under the moonlight.
, her eyes were sparkling.
I smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you think I don't trust you, and that you will be burdened with your thoughts. That's right, after you told me about the difficulties I've encountered so far, I immediately went to discuss it with my father-in-law.
He gave me a good idea. Didn’t my father work in the government department here for many years? He thought that my father should use his spare energy and use his many years of work experience and connections to coordinate some of the work.
.I talked to my father just after I got home today. He was very worried at first, but then he was finally convinced by me. I originally planned to come and talk to you tomorrow morning, but I thought that the earlier it would be better for some things.
The better it is, after all, we have invested so much money. Lulu, you have another project in operation now, and the two places are so far apart, which will make it very hard for you. So, I want to
My father came to be the general manager of the company here, and you still hold the position of chairman concurrently. After all, you already have a lot of experience and can grasp many problems from an overall perspective. And in this way, you can take care of both sides.
Lu, I really don’t mean to worry about you, and I am particularly worried that you will think that way. What do you think? Do you think my arrangement is appropriate? "
Her head rested on my shoulder again, "Brother Feng, this is your family matter. The company is also yours. I will have no objection to any arrangements you make."
I thought she still had some misunderstandings, so I hurriedly said: "Lulu, why don't you believe me? I really don't mean anything else. I also told my father today that his duty is to implement the board of directors' decisions. Don't worry.
, he won’t embarrass you. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly."
"The question is, is he your father? How should I control him in the future? If we agree, that's fine, but what if we don't?" she said.
"Let your opinion prevail. What else is there to say? The old man has a soft heart but a sharp tongue. Just make him happy. But you are currently in charge of two projects, so you must focus on this one. After all,
The investment here is too big. Isn’t there a general manager there? Let him do more things,” I said.
"Okay. I'll try my best to deal with it. But you said it yourself? I'm your woman. You can't completely favor your father when the time comes. This is work, not just about family ties," she said.
"Of course. I have already told my father that the money we invested here is not a small amount, and a lot of the money does not belong to me alone. He knows the powerful relationship involved," I said.
"I thought about it just now. Your idea is actually very good. This will reduce my pressure a lot," she added.
I was very happy, "I'm very happy that you think so. Lulu, let's do this. I'll ask my father to come to the company tomorrow, and I'll come with him. You can arrange his work for him right away."
"Okay." She agreed readily.
"By the way, has Dong Jie made arrangements? What do you think of her?" I asked again.
"A very smart little girl. She looks pretty good. Today I asked her to accompany your girlfriend. I will let her live in the hotel for the time being. Brother Feng, will this not affect you?" She asked me with a smile.
road.
I was a little embarrassed, "What did you say?"
She smiled and said: "Brother Feng, why are there so many beautiful girls around you? You are so lucky."
I immediately hugged her and said, "Are you praising yourself? I am blessed because I have you." This hug didn't matter, but the result was that a kind of passion suddenly surged in my heart, and I couldn't bear it.
Zushi kissed her on the face and said, "Lulu..."
She began to struggle, "Brother Feng, we can't do this. I..."
I suddenly remembered the fact that she was already in love, and I felt depressed. Then I let go of my hand and said, "Hey! Let's go back."
She hesitated for a moment before standing up and said to me in a low voice: "Brother Feng, I'm sorry."
I turned my back to her and waved to her, "Stop talking. It's okay. It's my fault."
In fact, I also hate myself for being shameless.
After I got home in the evening, I talked with my father about work-related matters, especially about how I hoped he would cooperate with Sun Lulu in the future. My father said cheerfully: "It's no problem, don't worry."
The child had already fallen asleep, and the mother said beside her: "Your father has thought about it and will go to apply for early retirement immediately."
I am very happy.
I got up early the next morning. The first thing I did was to run to the balcony to breathe fresh air. This was also my habit when I was in high school. Moreover, Zhao Menglei could be seen from a distance on the balcony of my house. In the past,
, every time I saw her figure on the balcony, I started running downstairs with my schoolbag on my back.
But now, I can no longer see that beautiful figure in my distant gaze. The places where she often appeared before were people I didn't know at all.
My father also got up, and I heard him saying to my mother: "Stop making breakfast. My son and I will go out to eat later."
I immediately turned around and joked with my father, "Dad, are you willing to go out to eat?"
"There is an old man downstairs. The fried dough sticks and soy milk he makes are delicious. We will go there for breakfast later." The father smiled.
"Then what does mom eat?" I asked.
"I won't go to work today. I will take care of your children at home. I told the people at work last night. I will just have something to eat at home," the mother said with a smile.
After going out, when he got downstairs, my father pointed to the sky and said, "Look, swallows."
So I went to look at the sky, and sure enough, I saw a few swallows flying across the vast sky. Some people say that swallows are amazing birds because they can inadvertently sew together the incompatible winter and spring seasons.
They are so invisible and integrated, and in the murmur of their swallow language, the hardships and ups and downs of the years are gently smoothed away, and then spring with red flowers and green willows comes.
My father said: "Swallows only occasionally fly across the city sky, but eventually they return to their small courtyards with green tiles and earthen walls in the countryside, find their old nests and are busy giving birth to their children. Just like the people in our hometown hurriedly go there
It’s like going to town to catch a market and then rushing home to do some work. Birds like swallows are the most likely to cause people to feel homesick. Son, remember my words, your hometown is the place where you were born and raised. You can make money when you come back.
, but don’t be too greedy.”
I smiled and said, "Dad, you are the general manager now."
He also smiled: "I'm just working for you. I know that you have the final say in everything from now on."
I immediately suppressed my smile and said to him seriously: "Dad, if you have any good suggestions in the future, you can tell me directly. You are right, I can't do anything that would disgrace my hometown. I think so, from now on
You can directly use the money I earn. I have no right to use other people’s money for good deeds.” (To be continued)
