This was embarrassing. Zheng Pei'an laughed twice: "I'm Zheng Pei'an, you can't even hear my voice."
Xu Jiawen laughed: "Can you not hear it? I'm kidding you. Come over quickly, it's a little rainy." She sent the location.
Zheng Pei'an drove the car according to the location she sent. From a distance, he saw a mother and daughter dragging two large suitcases standing in the rain with stars falling.
As soon as the car parked, Zheng Pei'an opened the door and rushed out. He moved faster than Xu Chunliang. He appeared in front of Xu Jiawen for the first time and said with a smile on his face: "Jiawen!"
Although Xu Jiawen is middle-aged, he is well-maintained, has a gentle and dignified temperament, and every move reveals the intellectual beauty unique to senior intellectuals.
Next to her, Zhen Chun was wearing a white sweater with her head tightly wrapped, her hands in her pockets, but she was wearing a black short skirt, revealing two long, thin and straight legs.
"Is this Xiaochun? The last time I saw you, you were a child." Zheng Pei'an stretched out his hand to touch her head. This is the caress of an elder to a younger one.
Zhen Chun leaned back a little exaggeratedly to avoid Zheng Pei'an's hand: "What the hell!"
"Xiao Chun, please don't be rude, this is Uncle Zheng."
Zhen Chun rolled her eyes.
Xu Jiawen couldn't control his rebellious daughter and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this child has been spoiled by me."
Zheng Pei'an smiled and said: "It is a good thing for young people to have character."
Xu Chunliang also came over and called her sister-in-law.
The last time Xu Jiawen came back was two years ago. He looked at Xu Chunliang with some surprise and said: "Xiao Cong, you have changed so much. You are so handsome now!" If she met him on the street, she really wouldn't recognize him.
This precious nephew.
Xu Chunliang smiled at Zhen Chun and said, "Hello, sister!"
Xu Jiawen said: "Your brother!"
Zhen Chun grinned reluctantly, not in a friendly manner, it looked like she was sneering.
Xu Chunliang felt that this child was a little rude.
Zheng Pei'an was busy getting his luggage. Xu Chunliang asked them to get in the car first so as not to get caught in the rain. These two big boxes were really heavy. Xu Chunliang put the two suitcases in the trunk.
When he came to the passenger seat and sat down, Zheng Pei'an said: "Sit tight, I'll drive right now."
Xu Chunliang told Xu Jiawen that his grandfather had prepared a room for them and his wife at the Huichun Hall, but Xu Jiawen said that they had already booked it at the Marriott and would go to the hotel to settle down before going to the Huichun Hall to see the old man.
Xu Chunliang couldn't say anything, but his grandfather was waiting for them to return with full expectations, and he would definitely be disappointed now.
Zhen Chun was always looking out the window, looking indifferent to everyone.
Xu Jiawen asked about his father's health, and Xu Chunliang said, "You won't go back to see it by yourself? If you really care about your grandfather, you won't come back only every two years." He said a few perfunctory words and didn't bother to speak.
Zheng Pei'an felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little subtle, so he took the initiative to adjust the atmosphere: "Jiawen, Guowei didn't come back with you?"
"He's been busy with a new project recently..."
Zhen Chun, who had not spoken much, sneered: "Why didn't you say you were divorced?"
The car fell silent for an instant. A trace of anger flashed across Xu Jiawen's face. When he encountered his daughter's unruly eyes, he immediately softened. He took a deep breath to dispel the anger in his heart.
Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment. They didn't know about his sister-in-law's divorce. He glanced at Zheng Pei'an from the corner of his eyes. He couldn't hide the joy in his heart. The crow's feet in the corners of his eyes were dancing. He was really evil.
Xu Jiawen calmed down and said, "Alice, how did you promise me before you came?"
Zhen Chun said: "I can't be as hypocritical as you. If we leave, we will leave. Who cares?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Sister-in-law, don't tell grandpa about this." On the surface, he was telling Xu Jiawen, but in fact, he was slapping the rebellious little cousin. They only come back every two years, and they don't come back to cause trouble for the old man.
, grandpa will definitely be unhappy if he knows that his sister-in-law is getting divorced.
Zheng Pei'an said: "I didn't hear anything."
Xu Chunliang turned around and looked at Zhen Chun. Zhen Chun rolled her eyes at him. Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Xiao Chun, you don't want to make grandpa angry, right?"
Xu Jiawen gently pulled his daughter's arm: "Your brother is talking to you."
"Call me Alice!"
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't understand English." He didn't lie about this.
Zheng Peixin said that this little girl is a bit rebellious. You don't know how powerful your cousin is. He has subdued many medical troubles, let alone you, a little girl.
Zheng Pei'an first sent the two of them to the Marriott to check in. After waiting for a long time, Xu Jiawen came back alone. However, his daughter lost her temper and refused to go to Huichun Hall with her. She insisted on staying in the hotel to rest, so she could only
Go alone first.
On the way to Huichun Hall, Xu Jiawen apologized to the two of them. Since their couple divorced, their daughter has become rebellious. The reason why he brought her back this time is to let her feel the family affection.
Zheng Pei'an taught her that everything has a process. Everyone will be rebellious when they are young. Xu Chunliang almost jumped into the river this year.
Xu Jiawen was startled and quickly asked Xu Chunliang what was going on.
Xu Chunliang was also speechless. Zheng Pei'an was speechless when he saw Xu Jiawen, wishing he could take out all his heart, liver, and lungs and show them to her.
Xu Chunliang told her sister-in-law that she was fine and that she wanted to swim but was misunderstood.
Zheng Pei'an also realized that he had made a mistake and quickly corrected himself by saying that he was joking.
Xu Changshan had been waiting for his daughter at the door of Huichun Hall. When he saw the car coming back, he hurriedly greeted her.
Xu Jiawen was thinking carefully before getting out of the car, but when he saw his father's nose sore, tears flowed down uncontrollably. He called dad and threw himself into his arms and cried.
She cried partly because of what happened to her, and partly because of her guilt towards her father. If it hadn't been for the divorce, she probably wouldn't have come back this time.
Xu Changshan smiled and said: "Silly girl, just come back, just come back."
Back home, Xu Changshan was still concerned about whether his daughter had eaten. When he heard that she had not eaten, he immediately went to the kitchen to make dumplings for her. In the eyes of his father, his daughter is always a child.
Xu Jiawen took out a box from the travel bag he brought with him. Inside was an Omega watch he had brought for Xu Chunliang.
Zheng Pei'an also had a gift. Xu Jiawen gave him a Parker pen. Zheng Pei'an said it was too expensive, but he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't care what gift Xu Jiawen gave him, as long as she could think of him, it would prove that he was there.
It has a place in her heart.
Xu Jiawen asked him to go back and rest. He would definitely have to chat with the old man very late and might not go back to the hotel tonight.
Zheng Pei'an knew that people thought he was in the way. Although he wanted to stay with Xu Jiawen for a while from the bottom of his heart, the timing was not right tonight.
Xu Chunliang sent Zheng Pei'an out. Zheng Pei'an said: "I will come over early tomorrow morning. You tell the old man that I will buy the vegetables. He doesn't need to ask anything."
"Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" Xu Chunliang asked as he had a holiday only the day after tomorrow.
Zheng Pei'an smiled and said: "I asked for leave."
Xu Chunliang found that this guy was even more excited than during the Chinese New Year, so he couldn't help but remind him: "When you come back, don't have other thoughts."
Zheng Peian said: "Your sister-in-law is divorced and is in a bad mood. As a friend, should I enlighten her?"
Xu Chunliang put his hand on his shoulder: "Uncle Zheng, do you know Sima Zhao?"
Of course Zheng Pei'an knew that Sima Zhao's heart was well known to everyone on the road, and this boy was degrading himself.
Zheng Pei'an was not afraid of being shabby and said with a smile: "You are overthinking it. How old am I? How can I not see anything? My thoughts are very simple. Your aunt's family will be here tomorrow. I am asking for leave to help the old man."
Xu Chunliang smiled and patted his shoulder. Lao Zheng was a nice person. It would be great if he could be his second uncle. But looking at his little cousin's appearance, it was too difficult for him to cross the border.
The day before the holiday, Changxing Hospital was extremely lively, with a long queue forming in the parking area of the hospital ward building.
The reason is that the labor union gave employees a gift of 600 yuan in shopping vouchers in previous years. This year, under the new leadership, they actually issued a gift in kind: a bag of rice, a barrel of oil, two boxes of dry goods, and a box of condiments.
There was not much money, but the battle was huge.
The supplier drove two large trucks and lined up in front of the ward building. Early in the morning, retired employees came to collect boxing gifts.
After going to work, representatives from each department came over one after another. Small carts and emergency beds were put on the scene together. The queues were more than fifty meters long, causing patients to stop and watch. Changxing showed a long-lost prosperity and excitement.
Trade union chairman Zhang Junke and security section chief Yu Xiangdong were on site to maintain order. Retired workers on site complained a lot about the superficiality. These things didn't add up to much money, but they weighed a lot.
Not only did these old workers come to queue up to receive the gifts, but they also had to carry such heavy gifts back home. The euphemistic name of sending them warmth was just a waste of their energy.
The retired employees were very affectionate when they met, chatting in twos and threes, and they were all chatty. Some people complained that this year’s boxing gifts totaled less than 600 yuan. Originally, they went directly to the supermarket, but now there are more middlemen.
Another level of criticism has been revealed. This new dean is unreliable.
Someone teased Zhang Junke: "Xiao Zhang, is this supplier an acquaintance of your family?"
In front of so many people, Zhang Junke was a little embarrassed and explained with a smile: "I don't know, I don't know. The hospital leaders directly approached the wholesalers to supply the goods, striving to provide the greatest benefits to the employees."
Pan, the retired director of pediatrics, snorted: "Who are you kidding? The total cost of these few things in the supermarket is only 400 yuan."
When she said this, people around her also agreed.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Junke quickly ran away and got into the flower bed next to him. He found that Yu Xiangdong had been hiding there smoking a cigarette. The two looked at each other and showed a wry smile at the same time.
In fact, they also criticized the practice of sending physical goods this time, not least because it increased their workload, but mainly because they couldn't stand everyone's complaints.
Yu Xiangdong handed Zhang Junke a cigarette, lit it for him, and said meaningfully: "Aren't those retired employees difficult to deal with?"
