Back in Hua Nian, when he had just graduated from the School of Economics at Beijing University, the year he and Lin Sirer broke up, his father died suddenly in the winter, reportedly from pulmonary heart disease.
The mother, who is in her seventies, now lives in a fourth-tier city in northwest Anhui Province, living with her youngest brother.
Due to an accident, my mother was knocked to the ground by a child who was running around in the same hospital, causing damage to her femur. The surgery was unsuccessful and it was difficult to resume walking, so she has been bedridden, relying on her little brother to grow up.
Years of service.
If it had not been for this unfortunate fall accident, Hua Nianping firmly believed that his mother would have been in good health and live a long life.
Hua Nian suddenly returned home after several years. When he saw his skinny mother lying on the bed, he could not speak for a long time.
It was hard for him to predict how many years his mother would live.
My younger brother used to work in a company affiliated to a power supply company. He once contracted and operated the tertiary industry enterprise of the company and served as the manager of a cosmetics sales company. Unfortunately, he was not a good business person. Over the past few years, he suffered many losses and caused hundreds of losses to the company.
Ten thousand yuan of investment losses.
At the time when the province's tertiary industry enterprises of the power supply company were being cleaned up, my younger brother was terminated from his labor contract by his employer because he took the initiative to assume financial responsibilities. In the past few years, together with his laid-off wife and their children, the whole family relied on only the mother.
Pension expenses and life are very tight.
The electrical appliances used in my mother's home are still the TV and refrigerator that my father bought when he was still alive. The four people live in two rooms and one living room with an area of less than 50 square meters.
Hua Nianping felt guilty that he had been away from home for a long time and had never been able to take care of his bedridden mother. He also failed to use his authority to find a job for his younger brother and sister-in-law, or to provide some help to the family within his ability.
My mother is a loyal old party member. She participated in the land reform at the age of seventeen. In the early days of liberation, she served as the director of the rural women's committee and the head of the township. She has been diligent and thrifty all her life.
Since she retired, she has never had a decent organizational life, but she still saves a few yuan every month and puts it in a small bag on the bedside as the organizational fee she has to pay.
More than ten years have passed, and the little cloth bag has bulged with hundreds of dollars. No matter how tight the family's finances are, my mother is not allowed to use a penny from the cloth bag.
My mother's last wish, after a hundred years, is to be handed over to the branch where she retains her organizational affiliation.
Hua Nianping sometimes thought that the possible reasons why he developed a character of compromise and multiple contradictions were not only the psychological inferiority due to physical defects, but also the fact that his father, who was an honest man in the family all his life and never let anyone down until his death, and
Shang's mother, who was open-minded and extremely firm in her beliefs, had a personal influence on his growth as a child.
Since returning to his hometown in Anhui Province on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Nianping spent the entire seven-day holiday, and delayed it for a few days due to the tight ticket price. It was not until several days after the Spring Festival holiday that he said goodbye to his mother and took a more than ten-hour train ride.
We took the train and returned to Huaishang at noon.
Hua Nianping got off the bus and found that at the door of the dormitory, just after the Spring Festival, a guard box was suddenly set up, and there stood an armed police soldier in full military uniform with a gun in his belt.
He was unceremoniously blocked and asked to show his ID before he could enter.
"I live here and just came back from visiting relatives." Hua Nianping explained to the guarding soldiers.
"live here?"
The soldier stared at Hua Nianping with suspicion and expressed surprise at his disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes after a night's ride. "Are you the leader here? How can you prove it?"
"I'm Hua Nianping!" He had no choice but to announce his name.
"Chairman Hua?" The soldier opened his eyes wide, not wanting to believe it but not daring not to believe it.
Because he saw clearly just now that Hua Nianping limped off the bus at the bus stop not far away.
Probably no talkative person has told him that Hua Nianping, the chairman of Enyuan Group and secretary of the working committee, is actually lame.
At this moment, Tao Hailiang's new Audi drove out of the yard. When he saw Hua Nianping being stopped here, he immediately got out of the car and greeted him.
"Brother, when did you arrive? This post was only put into use yesterday, and you bumped into it today!"
After a while of ridiculing him, he reprimanded the soldier, "I arranged for you to stand guard, but why are you questioning everyone?"
"When I saw the chief like this and got off the bus again, I thought to myself that the big leaders who live here are always in and out of cars, how could they squeeze into the bus!"
Although the soldiers muttered in retaliation, they were full of respect for the lame Hua Nianping from the bottom of their hearts.
"Nianping, you are serious. You have to come back suddenly. You should make a call so that we can send a car to pick you up." Tao Hailiang complained about Hua Nianping and shouted into the car: "Xiangya——"
"Why!"
With a crisp promise, Qiu Xiangya got out of Tao Hailiang's car and greeted Hua Nianping: "It's Chairman Hua who's back. Give me some face and help you clean up the dust tonight."
In fact, when Tao Hailiang got out of the car and opened the door, Hua Nianping had already noticed that Qiu Xiangya was sitting side by side with him.
"Thank you for your kindness. I'm used to the canteen chef's skills and I don't like to eat out." Hua Nianping waved his hand and refused.
"I've been here for more than a month, and the place where I'm going to live is finally in good shape. I specially invited Shanya to come over today to help me with the decoration layout of the new house."
Seeing Hua Nianping's lukewarm attitude towards Qiu Xiangya, Tao Hailiang changed the subject, "After some time, I want to rearrange your residence according to my style."
"Yes, let General Manager Tao stay in the hotel. Although it is a big suite, it is really not a home." Qiu Xiangya agreed. "I heard that Chairman Hua's house is less than fifty square meters. If Tao is not there,
You just pointed it out to me, I really can’t believe it!”
When Tao Hailiang took up the post at Enyuan Group, he was initially arranged to live in a guest house just like Hua Nianping when he first arrived. However, he really didn't like the environment of the guest house, so he moved to the five-star Seven Degrees Hotel the next day.
Hua Nianping had previously personally selected Tao Hailiang's residence, which was once occupied by former executive deputy general manager Huang Chunrong. It was a suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms, a separate courtyard, and the area was twice as large as his own.
However, Tao Hailiang was not satisfied after seeing it. He chose a two-story activity center in the dormitory on the pretext that he had seen weasels there. He had undergone extensive renovations, demolished walls, and stripped out windows for more than a month. Now, now
The second wave of interior decoration has begun.
Without the construction work in another two months, he might not be able to move in.
Seeing Tao Hailiang getting into the car with Qiu Xiangya and leaving, Hua Nianping found it hard to understand how the two of them could actually fight so passionately. Moreover, when Tao Hailiang shouted the word "Xiangya" just now, his tone was very smooth and smooth, as if
Like a family.
"He's really become awesome!"
Hua Nianping thought about what Hou Yiying had revealed about Qiu Xiangya's origin that day, and he felt worried that it was not an auspicious sign.
He was really afraid that one day, Tao Hailiang's feelings would go awry and he would do something that would be sorry for Hong Fang.
And this Qiu Xiangya has good looks, is good at socializing, is young and beautiful, and will definitely be the first woman to seduce Tao Hailiang.
