The old building where the Gu family lives was the collective housing shared by Gu Daqiang's father and mother.
The old neighbors from the past, those who passed away and those who moved away, there are not many left.
An old lady with white hair came to the downstairs of Gu Daqiang's house carrying a stick. This old lady and Gu Daqiang's mother were co-workers when they were young, and they have always had a good relationship. After spending most of their lives together, they have developed a sisterly relationship.
.
The old lady was carrying a bag of fruit in her hand. A relative from the countryside came to the city to sell fruit. He specially came to visit her cousin and gave her a basket of fruits with not very good fur. These were all things that could not be bought at high prices in the city.
, but they are definitely all fresh and good stuff.
The fruit's skin was not good, but it tasted sweet and sour, so the old lady thought of bringing some to Old Madam Gu to have a fresh taste, and there were two children at home.
"Sister-in-law Gu..."
The old lady climbed up to the third floor, already out of breath, and found the Gu family's door open and several people gathered around the door, all of whom were neighbors who lived in the same building as the Gu family.
The old lady felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly walked over. The neighbors all knew the old lady and knew that she was close to the Gu family, so they all moved out of the way.
"this……"
When the old lady saw the mess in the house, she looked very unhappy. She quickly entered the house with a stick and called Sister-in-law Gu twice. She had already arrived at Old Lady Gu's room.
"Gu...Sister-in-law Gu!"
Bang...
The old lady screamed, her voice trembling a little, and the bag of fruit she was carrying fell to the ground. The apples, peaches, and plums were scattered all over the floor.
…
In the evening, a bonfire was set up in the courtyard of Yuehu Villa. On the bonfire was a fat whole sheep. On the other side of the open space, there were also some buffet meals.
Everyone was singing and dancing around the bonfire, and it was a joyful time.
With the Family Health Organization performing a program, the remaining singles and those in love work on their own.
Lin Kun sang a local song from Mobei. Even without musical accompaniment, the song was powerful and beautiful. There were other performances in various programs.
Little Chuchu was lying in the stroller, and Mother Wu sat aside to take care of her. Lin Kun and Chu Jingyao were also with her, while Chengcheng was playing with Geng Lele and other children.
The whole sheep was placed on the bonfire and roasted until it became fragrant. Drops of mutton fat fell on the bonfire with a sizzling sound.
The temperature is a bit low after nightfall, so sitting by the campfire and eating roast lamb is a unique experience.
Lin Kun's cell phone vibrated. He drank the wine in his glass, took out his cell phone and saw that it was Cao Gang calling.
Lin Kun came to the side to answer the phone. Cao Gang on the phone didn't say anything, his tone was a bit hesitant, and finally said that he accidentally dialed the wrong number.
Lin Kun didn't think much, put his phone in his pocket, and continued to sit next to the bonfire.
Chu Jingyao gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and the warm firelight shone on the two people. Chu Jingyao had a warm smile on her face, shining with the light of happiness.
For a woman, what kind of life is considered successful is nothing more than finding a person who loves her, having two smart and lovely children, and being able to stay together as a family every day, just ordinary and happy.
Lin Kun is also enjoying his life at this time. The children are having fun and his wife is close to him. For him at this time, what is the wealth of the family, the young master of the Zhu family, the No. 1 leader of Mobei, etc., etc.
None of it matters anymore.
But think about it from another perspective, without these material guarantees in life, there would be no relaxation and comfort at this time.
He thought of the majority of people in Mobei who worked hard from dawn to dusk, but still lived a life of poverty and hardship, just like Gu Daqiang and his wife.
I picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the bonfire, causing small sparks to fly...
The two little gangsters I met in the morning, who collect management fees in the name, are no longer available in the Northeast and Yanjing. It is because this place is poor and backward, and because the social relations here are complicated, so this bad habit still exists.
exist.
Mobei is a big mess. The deeper you understand it, the more problems you find.
"Do you regret it?"
Chu Jingyao looked at Lin Kun and asked suddenly.
"No……"
Lin Kun said with a smile.
"You were obviously thinking about something just now. Was that call you answered about work? If you have something to do, I won't blame you."
"The driver was the one who made the call just now. He hesitated and said nothing, and finally said he had dialed the wrong number."
"Maybe I really made the wrong call." Chu Jingyao said with a smile: "It may be that I have something to ask you, but you are embarrassed to ask. Don't be too harsh on others. You are the leader now, and the leader must have a heart."
A loving heart.”
Lin Kun smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, you were right just now. I really regret it. This Mobei is a mess from top to bottom. It is difficult to clean up. If I shouldn't have done this,
Let’s lie down on the hot kang after dinner in Yanjing. It’s such a relaxing and comfortable little life.” (10)
Chu Jingyao said: "You want to lie down on the hot kang and feel relaxed and comfortable, but you don't know how many people will feel uneasy if you lie on the hot kang in Yanjing. In the past, the four major families checked and balanced each other.
At that time, the big shots above didn't think that now that the four major families have put aside their prejudices against each other, some big shots have begun to make their own plans in their hearts. It should be the best for you to come to Mobei as a big leader.
Choose.”
Lin Kun smiled bitterly, "Daughter-in-law, let's put it this way, I made the mistake of letting the four major families turn their feud into friendship, but why didn't grandpa stop me?"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "You really don't know in your heart? If we divide for a long time, we will unite and we will unite. Everything will continue to develop in the process of division and unity. If the four major families continue to be in opposition, it will create trouble for other forces.
Opportunity, now is a good time for the four major families to move forward together. When the development momentum reaches a bottleneck, it will be many years before we can check and balance each other."
Lin Kun picked up a piece of dry firewood, threw it into the fire, stretched out his body with his hands behind his head, and said: "So, if you want to live a good life, it's useless to think too much. It's still those four
Word: Let nature take its course."
…
Outside the morgue of the hospital, the siblings Gu Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaoleng were already crying together. The siblings hugged each other tightly, and their tears wet each other's shoulders.
Not far away, Cao Gang clenched his cell phone, and after hesitating for a moment, he called Lin Kun. (Zero One)
After the call was connected, there was a lively voice on the other side. He hesitated and said a few words, and finally hung up the phone on the grounds that he had dialed the wrong number.
Before that, he called Li Yuancai, but no one answered Li Yuancai's call.
Things had happened and there had to be a solution. He took a few calm breaths and dialed Li Yuancai's number. At the same time, he silently said in his heart that he must get through...
"Hello?"
Li Yuancai's voice came from the phone... (To be continued)
