"That's pretty much it." She immediately smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, my husband and I are in the reception room of the provincial government now. You should come over first. Kang Demao has already arranged for dinner in the evening."
I was very annoyed: Who are you? Aren’t you my elementary school classmate? Why do I have to come to accompany you now? Why do you think you are cooler than your County Magistrate Long?
Of course, I was just complaining in my heart, but I was saying with my mouth: "I still have something to do. Originally, the president of our university asked me to go to Beijing on a business trip tonight, but when I heard that you were coming, I had to postpone it until tomorrow.
The principal is still waiting for me to say something. I will definitely be there in the evening. I'm sorry."
"I see. You are really a busy person. Okay, let's see you tonight." She said and then hung up the phone.
So I cursed in my heart again: Damn! Why do you look like a leader?
Then I felt that I had gone too far: Didn't you seem a little arrogant when I first met you that day? Feng Xiao, are you too small-minded?
It’s okay now, I can’t continue the experiment because my heart can no longer calm down. I sighed and drove home.
When I got home, I saw Cai Cai holding the child and playing with him, and the child let out a crisp "giggle" laugh.
My mood immediately improved, "Cai Cai, the child seems to like you very much."
"This kid is very funny." She smiled.
I walked towards her, and the child immediately stretched out his fat hands towards me. I felt better, and then I went to pick up the child. I found that the child looked more and more like Chen Yuan.
Over time, the characteristics that resemble me are slowly weakening.
"My biological father is different. I teased him for so long, and he ran away as soon as he saw you." Cai Cai complained about the child.
I burst out laughing immediately, and at the same time a tender feeling rose from my heart. Yes, he is my son, of course he kissed me. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, it seems true.
At this time the nanny came out, and she asked me: "Uncle, what do you want to eat tonight?"
I smiled bitterly at her and said: "We can't eat at home today. An old classmate of mine is here. Oh, there's no other way. By the way, I have to go to Beijing on a business trip tomorrow, so Chen Yuan has to wait until I come back to pick him up."
Already."
"I haven't been to Beijing yet." Cai Cai said next to her.
I immediately smiled and said to her: "There will be many opportunities like this in the future. In fact, it is also my first time to go to that place. By the way, Auntie, have Cai Cai discussed it with you? How did you decide?"
"Since she wants to study, we have no choice but to support her," the nanny said.
"Are you having any financial difficulties at the moment?" I asked.
"...No, it's not difficult." The nanny replied. I noticed that she was a little hesitant, so I handed the child to Cai Cai for her to hold, and then took out four thousand yuan from her wallet, "Auntie, I asked
Yes, this semester requires nearly 4,000 yuan in tuition fees. You can take the money. In fact, I think the same way. As long as Cai Cai wants to study, we should all support her."
"How can this be done?" The nanny didn't come to take the money, and she looked a little flustered.
I smiled and said to her: "Auntie, you have been working as a nanny in my house for such a long time. In fact, I also know that the wages we pay you are relatively low. Consider this money my compensation for you."
"It's already a high enough price. It's the same price now," the nanny said.
So I said again: "Well, let me consider the money to help Cai Cai study. Cai Cai should call me uncle. This can be regarded as my wish as an elder."
After I finished speaking, I immediately put the money into the hands of the nanny. The nanny was immediately moved, with tears in her eyes. I couldn't help but sigh: Rural people are so honest, and a little money will make them grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
Then I called Yu Min: "Please ask someone from your company to book a ticket for me to go to Beijing tomorrow. Tomorrow, the time should not be too early or too late."
"Then tell me your ID number." She said, and then asked me: "Why are you going to Beijing?"
"Business trip. Meeting." I replied, not wanting her to know those things about myself.
"I want to go too. Is that okay? There's nothing going on in the company lately," she said.
I suddenly became embarrassed, "Yu Min, the company should be maintained first. You can't just wait and see. What if something happens later? Haha! I'm not talking about anything else, I'm just talking about what happens if there is a tender in the future.
What should you do if you cannot control the process? Such things happen often, you know it."
"With you here, it won't happen," she said.
"No one can guarantee that something like that will never go wrong." I immediately said to her seriously.
"You can't go wrong because you know I have to make money to support our children," she said.
I was speechless.
"Forget it, go on your own. It won't be good if I go to the meeting with you." She immediately said, "I will send someone to book a flight for you right away, and I will inform you of the time as soon as I make the reservation."
She had already hung up the phone while I was still in a daze.
I arrived at the restaurant on time in the evening. Lilac was also there. Then I thought that this must be inevitable, because Luo Hua came as a couple, and Kang Demao of course had to call his fiancée to accompany him.
.To be honest, I feel a little sad at this moment.
Luo Hua immediately stretched out his hand to me when he saw me, "Old classmate, you are finally here."
I pulled out of her hand and immediately went to shake hands with her man, "Director Peng, I'm sorry, I'm really too busy recently. I can't help it. I have to go to Beijing on a business trip tomorrow."
"Understood. We are really sorry for disrupting your schedule. Your principal won't blame you, right?" Peng Zhonghua said to me apologetically.
"It's okay. I've already explained it to him." I said with a smile.
"Feng Xiao, do you need me to find someone to accompany you? I have classmates in Beijing." Kang Demao asked me with a smile.
"No need. I like to act alone." I said with a smile.
"That's right. You are a handsome guy. I wonder if there is a beautiful woman waiting for you in Beijing." Ding Xiang glared at me and said.
"Ding Xiang, don't make such a joke." Kang Demao said immediately.
But I couldn't get angry with Ding Xiang, so I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I really went to a meeting."
"Feng Xiao, where is your lover? Why didn't you come today?" Luo Hua asked me.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "She is in the hospital."
"Ah? What's the disease? Let's go see her tomorrow." Luo Hua said immediately, with a very concerned look.
"Luo Hua, don't ask. Our Feng Xiao is a poor man. His wife suffered from cerebral hypoxia when she gave birth to a child and has been in a coma until now." Kang Demao said hurriedly.
"Ah? I'm sorry. I didn't know about this." Luo Hua said hurriedly.
"That's how you are, you like to ask random questions." Peng Zhonghua immediately criticized his wife.
"It's okay. This is all fate." I shook my head and said to Kang Demao: "Since you are the one making arrangements, why don't you hurry up and arrange the seats? We can't all eat standing up, right?"
Kang Demao laughed, "Today we are all fellow countrymen and friends, so we can sit wherever we want. It doesn't matter how you sit at the round table."
Although he said this, he still sat down on the main seat. Then he asked Peng Zhonghua to sit next to him, and then said to me: "Feng Xiao, sit here with me. The two women are sitting together. This
The table is too big and it won’t fit no matter how you sit on it.”
I smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll sit across from you. Let you two sit together. I don't want to be a light bulb."
"We are an old married couple now. It's okay," Kang Demao said.
Seeing Ding Xiang like this, I had no choice but to sit next to Kang Demao and said, "Okay, then I'll just be a lightbulb. Ding Xiang, we are all old friends, you don't need to be so shy. Anyway, you are going to get married soon."
No, it doesn’t matter.”
Kang Demao had a smile on his face and immediately ordered the waiter to serve the food. In fact, I know this guy must be a little embarrassed, but this is what makes him different: he can stay calm at all times and is very good at controlling such a situation.
The waiter was pouring wine for each of us. Kang Demao said: "Director Peng, Luo Hua, we fellow villagers are drinking together today. We must drink happily. It is best not to talk about things. We will talk about things tomorrow. Friends drink together
Just drinking and talking about things would be too boring. Don’t you think so?"
Peng Zhonghua smiled and said, "Just do whatever Kang Mi says."
I was extremely grateful to Kang Demao, and at the same time I was ready to get drunk, or pretend to be drunk for a while.
Luo Hua hesitated to speak, but was immediately stopped by her man's eyes. I could see it clearly.
I didn't expect that Peng Zhonghua and Luo Hua both drank so much, and Kang Demao and I were no match for them. Fortunately, Dingxiang came on stage later, and she toasted them both with a glass of wine.
"No. You have to come with Kang Mi." Luo Hua said.
"He and I are not married yet. This glass of wine only represents myself to you and your wife," Ding Xiang said.
"Anyway, it will be a matter of time for you and him." Luo Hua said again.
"He and I are not husband and wife without a marriage certificate. I only represent myself." Ding Xiang said.
"Luo Hua, we should drink this glass of wine. Teacher Ding is a university teacher, we should feel honored." Peng Zhonghua said hurriedly.
They drank it with Ding Xiang. Ding Xiang then poured another glass of wine, "I offer this glass of wine to you on behalf of Feng Xiao's wife. She can't come today. De Mao and Feng Xiao are classmates and good friends, so I can represent Feng Xiao."
The smiling wife gives you a toast."
Luo Hua came to see me, and I smiled and said, "She's right."
In fact, I was very dissatisfied with Ding Xiang for bringing up this topic to drink with them, but I seemed to understand what Ding Xiang meant: she was reminding me - Feng Xiao, you have a wife, so you should stop in moderation from now on.
In this way, all three of them drank two large glasses of white wine at the same time. Peng Zhonghua and Luo Hua suddenly became drunk, and Ding Xiang's body began to shake.
At this moment, I was a little jealous of Kang Demao: Ding Xiang had no choice but to come on stage when she saw that he was too drunk. After all, Kang Demao is in charge today. (To be continued)
