"I know. Just leave me alone. Just call me when you have time. I'll take a good look at your hometown these days." She said.
"If you have something to do, just take the car back by yourself. Just send me a text message when you leave." I said.
She shook her head, "No, I want to wait for you to go back together."
I felt very sorry, but had no other choice, so I kissed her and left.
However, the moment I came out of the hotel, I immediately remembered the Taoist priest's words, and the fear in my heart surged into my heart again.
After returning home, I saw my mother playing with her child. The child immediately became excited when he saw me. He yelled "Yiyiyiya" and laughed at me, and also stretched out a pair of little hands towards me.
I hurriedly picked him up, and the child touched my face. The fear and anxiety in my heart immediately subsided a lot. I asked my mother, "Where is Dad?"
"I came back at noon, had dinner, and then went out. I was dressed like a new uncle." My mother said with a smile.
I also laughed, "Those are the clothes I arranged for someone to buy for him. Dad's status is different now, so he has to pay attention to his image. Mom, you don't know, this morning I went to eat fried dough sticks with my father. The guy who sells fried dough sticks
The old man thought I was very unfilial because he saw the contrast between the clothes my father and I were wearing was too big."
Mother immediately laughed and said, "Actually, your dad still likes to wear good clothes, but he is reluctant to buy them."
Hearing what my mother said, I suddenly felt uncomfortable: Feng Xiao, what have you been doing before? Why do you care so little about your parents? Then I said to my mother: "Mom, you should also take the time to buy some better ones."
clothes. I have money now."
Mother smiled and said, "I am an old woman. I am not as monster as your father."
I smiled and said: "When dad comes back, I will tell him and ask him to accompany you to buy it. I have the card with me."
"No need, really no need. I can't put on my clothes. After putting them on, I don't even know where to put my hands and feet." Mother waved her hands hurriedly.
I didn’t want to talk about this kind of thing with my mother anymore, because the knot in my heart had not been solved yet. After thinking about it, I couldn’t help but said to my mother: “Mom, today I went to Guishan, where the Taoist temple is.”
"What are you doing there?" my mother asked me, looking unconcerned.
"Just go and have fun." I said, and then asked her: "Mom, are the lottery tickets there very good?"
"Some people say it works, but some people say it doesn't work. Anyway, I just heard it from hearsay. What? You also went to draw lots? What lot did you draw?" my mother asked me.
I do not speak.
"What? I can't sign well? What does it say?" Mother suddenly became anxious.
At this time, my father came back, and I saw that he was wearing a crisp suit, which seemed to be of good quality, so I smiled and asked him, "Dad, what brand did you buy?"
My father smiled and said: "I bought them all from the specialty stores in our county. They are very expensive. That grandson was also really good. He bought me several sets at once, including suits and jackets, as well as ties, leather shoes, and official documents.
It cost you a lot of money to pack it or something."
"Flow it. As long as you are happy." I said with a smile.
"You take the child out for a walk. I want to talk to my son about something." The father immediately said to the mother.
The mother took the child from my hands and said, "What's going on? So mysterious?"
"Don't worry about work matters," my father said.
The mother smiled, then hugged the child and went out.
After my father sat me down, he said to me: "Now I really understand the difference between doing business and our previous administrative work. The grandson you hired is very good."
I was a little surprised, because I knew that my father would not praise people casually, so I smiled and joked with him: "Dad, what did she say to you? You won't be like this just because she went shopping with you to buy clothes."
Praise her, right? You have to know, but what about the money I paid?"
"Am I that kind of person?" My father suddenly laughed. Of course he knew I was joking with him. "She said a lot to me today and made a lot of sense. Among them, she was particularly concerned about future house sales.
I explained the truth. She said, our place is a small county, and everyone's relationship is complicated. Maybe in the future I will meet relatives and friends who come to me for discounts. This is natural. As a company, the most important thing is to treat everyone equally.
, the price is fair and reasonable. If you take care of some people but not others, it may cause price confusion. I think what she said is very reasonable. In the officialdom, as long as a leader has the power, he will approve the note.
Don't think about what is fair or unfair. So when I heard her say this, I immediately accepted her point of view. Son, it seems that I still have a lot to learn in the future."
"Dad, I think you have a lot to learn, but you may also encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Think about it, what will you do if your acquaintances come to you in the future? I know,
You are a very face-conscious person, and you also care about other people's opinions of you. I thought about this matter too simply before, but now I am starting to worry. Because in the future, some leaders in the county will definitely ask us to give
Their relatives will definitely take care of them, and in this case you have to take care of them, which will put more pressure on you. So, dad, you have to be mentally prepared in advance and think of a solution.
"I said worriedly.
The father was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "At worst, I will just leave this place from now on."
I shook my head, "This is not a solution. Let's see it this way. Sun Lulu and I will take some time to study this matter."
The father shook his head and said: "I understand what you mean. The leader's relatives must get discounts, but our relatives cannot give them discounts or anything like that. Because then the leader's privileges will not be shown. This is indeed a problem.
Question. I think this is it. At worst, I will use part of my salary to subsidize those relatives. In this way, they will not say anything."
I found that my father had changed a lot in the past half day. He actually changed to think that giving privileges to leaders was a normal thing. I thought his method was good, but... I thought about it and said: "Dad,
Let's do this, I will pay for the subsidies to relatives from now on, and you can pay them. Only the money you earn yourself will be willing to spend it, otherwise you will become poor again."
The father smiled and said: "Now my thinking is different. You are my son. Isn't your money my money, and isn't my money also your money? How can the distinction be so clear?"
I laughed.
But my father immediately asked me: "Son, tell me, what is the relationship between this Sun Lulu and you? Why do I feel like she is like my daughter-in-law?"
I was shocked by his words, "Dad, she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is still a job arranged by me."
My father looked at me with suspicion. I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with my words, so I hurriedly added: "Her boyfriend's sister is a policeman. She handled Zhao Menglei's case before. She helped me.
A lot of work.”
My father glanced at me and then sighed: "Dad is from here, why can't I tell? You can tell the relationship between a woman and a man from the way she looks at him. Forget it, son, I don't care about your affairs.
.Your life is not good, Chen Yuan is like this now... ugh!"
I couldn't help but feel sad.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. It makes people feel uncomfortable to talk about it." The father added, "Let's have a drink tonight, so maybe you will feel better. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you about this matter.
, Mainly because I’m very worried about you investing so much money in this project, so I couldn’t help but ask you." Father said.
"Dad, you must not let Sun Lulu think that you are sent by me to monitor her. This will affect her enthusiasm. In fact, my father-in-law has already taken preventive measures for the company's affairs. Now the financial director of the company is sent by my father-in-law.
You just know this." I said.
"That's it. Then I'll feel relieved," said the father.
Just now, my father talked about my bad luck. His words immediately reminded me of the drawing of lots in the Taoist temple today, so I asked him: "Dad, where did the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple above Guishan come from?"
Where did it come from?”
To be honest, what happened on the mountain today has cast a shadow in my heart. This thing is so unbelievable and terrifying. Therefore, I really want to solve this mystery, because in my heart I don’t know how to solve it.
I believed in those so-called fortune-telling techniques. This immediately put me in a contradictory state, and what this contradiction brought was precisely a kind of fear, extreme fear.
Just imagine: What kind of psychology will a person have when he learns about his possible terrible fate in the future? What kind of complicated emotions will appear in the instinctive disbelief and instinctive fear? And this is my situation now.
It looks like this.
Therefore, I very much hope to know something from my father, preferably to explain this incredible thing. Otherwise, I will never feel at ease.
My father looked at me in surprise, "What? Where did you go today?"
I nodded, "I think the Taoist priests there are like demons, which is terrible."
The father said: "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
If there is anyone in this world that I can completely trust, then my parents may be the only ones. Moreover, even though I am in my thirties, I still act like a child in front of my parents.
The earth has a kind of dependence on them.
So, I told him the complete situation of my draw today. It was just my own situation.
"They want to defraud you of your money, that's for sure." After thinking for a while, my father said, "If you look at it from this perspective, then everything will be easier to understand. Fortune tellers must first have a minimum of psychology.
Knowledge and observation are their greatest abilities." (To be continued)
