Zhao Feiyang felt that he had to come forward to explain: "Dad, where did you hear these rumors? Pei Lin has nothing to do with Changxing. She is currently working at Huanian Health. Although both Huanian Health and Changxing Hospital belong to
Huanian Group, but these two departments are in a parallel relationship, there is no overlap between them, and our income can withstand inspection."
The old lady said: "Old man, have you drunk too much again? Why are you doing all this during the Chinese New Year?"
Zhao Dapao said: "Let me say the last thing. There are two things that people are most likely to fail in their lives. One is money and the other is women."
Pei Lin clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms. After all, the Zhao family still looked down on her. Her father-in-law's words were clearly meant for her. Although she was married to Zhao Feiyang, in her father-in-law's eyes,
She is still shameful. She is the woman who caused Zhao Feiyang's failure and affected his son's future.
Zhao Feiyang quietly grabbed Pei Lin's hand under the table, feeling that her hand was as cold as a piece of ice.
Zhao Feiyang said: "Dad, I understand everything you said, just don't worry."
Pei Lin gently placed the card on the table and slowly pushed it towards Zhao Dapao: "Dad, we will never accept your pension money."

Although fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in Dongzhou City, many citizens are still challenging the ban.
Listening to the sparse sound of firecrackers outside, Tong Guangsheng couldn't help but sigh: "The city is just not as lively as the countryside."
Wang Jinwu said: "Hushan Town has also begun to ban fireworks and firecrackers this year."
Tong Guangsheng said: "There is no trace of the New Year at all."
Gao Hongtang said: "I heard the news, which was said to be the opinion of experts, saying that fireworks and firecrackers cause air pollution and can easily cause fires."
Xu Changshan said: "After the ban, we haven't seen any improvement in the air. Our ancestors have a saying that eating is a waste because of choking. Can't we throw away thousands of years of tradition just because of the opinions of some experts? Those so-called experts themselves
Their understanding is very limited, and if they are not good at academics, they will resort to the traditions of their ancestors. They say that good traditional culture has been turned into dross, and Chinese medicine is ruined in the hands of these so-called experts."
Zheng Pei'an nodded with deep sympathy and said: "The most annoying thing is that the experts here keep belittling their own culture and abandoning traditions. Several small countries around are busy stealing their lessons. Even the Dragon Boat Festival has been snatched away by South Korea.
Already."
Wang Jinwu cursed: "What bothers me the most is sticks, shameless things."
Xu Chunliang said: "Why do you want that thing? Their plastic surgery industry is so developed just because they are shameless. They are willing to go under the knife on their faces. Their body and skin are affected by their parents. What do you expect from something that even their parents don't respect?
Do they want face?"
Su Qing couldn't help laughing.
Zhen Chun also laughed and asked Su Qing: "Are they the angry young people in the mainland that we often call them?"
Everyone who was accidentally injured by Zhen Chun looked helpless.
Xu Jiawen couldn't help but frowned. This girl was really speechless. Angry youth is an angry youth, and it is easy to cause ambiguity.
Gao Xiaobai said: "Culture is like this. If you don't cherish it yourself and don't know how to inherit and develop it, others will learn from it and think of it as their own."
Ruan Xingmei said: "I think the problem should not be so one-sided. Chinese civilization is indeed extensive and profound, but Chinese civilization is also a part of the civilization of all mankind. You are not always saying that the Chinese Dream belongs to China and the world."
Shu Yuanhang smiled. His wife was not a native of the country, so her perspective on the problem was certainly different from others.
Zhen Chun nodded and said: "I think my sister-in-law is right. What time has it passed? Countries in the world should have broken down their barriers and integrated their economies and cultures. Only in this way can human civilization continue to develop."
Tong Guangsheng said: "I don't think so. The imperialists are determined to destroy me. There is not much difference between countries and between people. Most of the time, you can be better than me, but you definitely can't be better than me. Far from it."
Lao Mi, there are neon lights nearby, have they given us fewer stumbling blocks in recent years?"
Shu Yuanhang was worried that his wife would be embarrassed if his father continued talking, so he smiled and said: "Don't talk about state affairs." He glanced at Ruan Xingmei, who knew what her husband meant, and said softly: "I'm going to see the two children."
After Ruan Xingmei left, Gao Xinhua said: "Guangsheng, your daughter-in-law is from Annan, please be careful what you say."
Tong Guangsheng said: "Annan is also socialist. The transfer of manufacturing industry in the past two years has made it easier for them."
Xu Changshan smiled and said: "Don't talk about state affairs!"
Everyone laughed.
While he was still drunk, Xu Chunliang received a video call from his father, Xu Jiaxuan, who wanted to pay his New Year greetings in advance.
Xu Chunliang noticed that Xu Jiaxuan was wearing a red hat in the video, and asked curiously: "When did you wear a hat?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "It's not the New Year, China's red picture is very festive."
Xu Chunliang handed the phone to his grandfather and asked them to chat directly.
Xu Changshan glanced at his son on the phone and said angrily: "Is he bankrupt? Can't even afford a plane ticket back home?"
Xu Jiaxuan said with a smile: "Dad, don't curse me during the Chinese New Year. I wanted to go back, but there is some business here that I can't get away from. So, I will try my best to go back in the first half of the year. My son wishes you a happy new year. You
I sent you a red envelope on my phone, please keep it."
"I don't want it!" The old man doesn't want money.
Zhen Chun stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I want it!"
Xu Jiaxuan burst out laughing: "Uncle will never forget it, you all have a share."
Zhen Chun also included Su Qing and Gao Xiaobai in the shot: "There are also sisters Su Qing and Xiaobai."
Su Qing and Gao Xiaobai wished in unison: "Uncle, have a happy New Year and everything goes well."
"Haha, I also wish you a happy New Year and a good harvest in your love and career!"
Mobile phones were passed around among everyone, and it was very lively as everyone wished each other well.
After walking around for a while, it was returned to Xu Chunliang's hands. He wanted to hang up, but his father wanted to have a few words with him alone.
Xu Chunliang got up and came outside.
Xu Jiaxuan asked: "Are you and Su Qing in love?" Xu Jiaxuan had this idea. After all, he saw that Su Qing had already attended the family dinner.
"Nothing."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Don't let a good girl go."
Xu Chunliang said: "When did you care about me so much?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "I can't buy you such a big house for free. You are the only one in the Xu family, and they still expect you to spread your branches. Don't forget what I said. When you meet a good girl, you would rather kill her than let her go."
, it was because I was too traditional that I didn’t give you more younger brothers and sisters."
Xu Chunliang said that this is really an unreliable scumbag father, and teased: "You are in your prime, it's not like you can't have children, why don't you give me another brother."
"You kid, stop making fun of me, that... bastard..."
"Has it already been born? It doesn't matter. Just tell me, I can accept it."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "I'm divorced."
"No way?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Why would I lie to you about such a big thing? I have been going through divorce procedures recently."
Xu Chunliang said: "Did you do something to disgrace the mother and daughter?"
Xu Jiaxuan said with a mournful face: "She is the one who is sorry for me this time. Your sister...oh no...my daughter...is not the same, she is not my biological child."
Xu Chunliang now understood that his father had been cheated on. In fact, when he first saw the photo, he felt something was wrong. Anyway, he couldn't see any of Xu Jiaxuan's genetic characteristics from the girl.
Xu Chunliang said: "You are already so old. If you think about it, you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. Besides, you still have me." Why don't you sympathize with him at all? You even want to laugh a little bit.
, a son of man should not do this!
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Don't tell your grandpa or anyone else about this. I'm afraid of embarrassment."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "This kind of thing is not normal now, and this is not the first time for you. Okay, don't worry, I will keep this matter in my stomach."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "I have something to ask you. An old friend of mine passed away today. Can you take the time to go to Shanghai?"
"What?"
"A good friend of mine, her name is Chen Biyuan, passed away this afternoon. She should have a funeral on the third day of the lunar new year. Can you make time to go there in the next two days?"
Although Xu Chunliang had no feelings for his father, this was the first time a father had begged him. He could see that this person was very important to him. Xu Chunliang had nothing important to do in the near future anyway. He asked for the address and agreed.
Xu Jiaxuan reminded him that the sooner the better, and it would be best to go there tomorrow.
Xu Chunliang rarely saw his father take things so seriously. He decided to take a trip on the first day of the new year. While others were celebrating the New Year happily, he went to Shanghai to attend the funeral. This new year was really different.
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I first paid New Year greetings to my grandpa, and then went to the high-speed rail station. The high-speed rail transportation has become much more convenient. It takes three hours one way from Dongzhou to Shanghai. There is no problem in a day trip, but since I have gone, I will just hang around there.
, Zhen Chun heard that he was going to Shanghai and had to go with him. He planned to spend a few days at his aunt Xu Jia'an's house.
Tickets were not tight on the Spring Festival day. Xu Chunliang bought a round trip and planned to go there tomorrow.
Zhen Chun is on a one-way trip and plans to have a few days of fun in Shanghai.
At noon, the two of them had arrived at Hongqiao, and cousin Liang Linan was ordered to pick them up and stood at the exit waiting for them.
Zhen Chun rushed up and gave her cousin a hug: "Big cousin! Happy New Year."
Liang Linan said helplessly: "You two really came to Shanghai on the first day of the new year, and my morning activities were disrupted by you."
Xu Chunliang did not inform him, it was Zhen Chun who called her aunt on her own initiative.
Zhen Chun said: "Who doesn't have a holiday during the Spring Festival? What activities do you have? You won't welcome us, right? Let's take a taxi."
Liang Linan couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't mean that. I had an appointment with a friend to watch a movie this morning." He led the two of them to the parking lot.
"Girlfriend?" Zhen Chun asked.
"normal friend."
Xu Chunliang said: "Cousin, thank you for your hard work."
