Xue Ling's eyes turned red when she heard this, "It's over now, hasn't my sister-in-law recovered? You have to believe that you will be blessed if you survive a disaster, and you also have to believe that good people have their destiny."
"I believe it." Liao Zongnan whispered: "I have always believed it... but the doctor said that her life span will be greatly reduced if her head is tortured like this. In other words, if she could live to be a hundred years old, she would probably live less than a hundred years.
More than ten or twenty years, or even more. Xiao Xue, she is as old as me, and we are both fifty years old. We have worked hard together for most of our lives, and we just want to hold each other's hands for the rest of our lives.
, let her do what she likes, spend more time with her, and take her out more."
Xue Ling understood and nodded: "I can understand."
Liao Zongnan explained: "When I bought the land before, you also contributed money. You invested almost all the money in the project, and you gave me so many apartments. Not only did you save my career, but you also allowed me to be able to live my life before retirement.
Make a lot of money, and there are so many houses that can be used as backup funds. More importantly, you are still the savior of our family. If it weren’t for your help, my lover... might be gone. I, Liao, will be able to
I’m so lucky to have such a ‘long-lasting friend’ like you in this life.”
"Haha! I'm just as lucky." Xue Ling laughed.
Liao Zongnan smiled: "So, the land in the third phase is all given to you. If you want to calculate it carefully, I still took a lot of advantage. After all, in the second phase, you mainly invested money, and I almost didn't contribute anything.
"
"Where!" Xue Ling said: "You have done a lot of work! I later paid half of the money for the third phase of the land, and you paid for the other half. I still have to pay you back."
"What are you talking about!" Liao Zongnan lowered his voice: "It's only the price of two houses at most. You gave me so many houses in the second phase in one go, and let me sell most of them and still keep ten houses. I'm already happy enough
Yes. Xiaoxue, just accept it. I will take my lover back to my hometown next, and I may even buy a small apartment in her hometown to live in. I probably won’t keep it in Rongcheng. The remaining piece of land
, I won’t develop it anymore, just accept it.”
"Then - I'm not welcome. Thank you!" Xue Ling said with a smile.
The two of them were walking and chatting while enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the river.
"My hometown is in the north, and my wife is from the imperial capital. Have I told you before, right? We met when we went to the countryside. We have shared joys and sorrows together, and our relationship has always been very good."
"I remember." Xue Ling smiled and said, "I still remember that your eldest son is very handsome and has a nice name. His name is Liao Jinhan. It's a very poetic name!"
Liao Zongnan smiled slightly and explained: "Both sons were named by my lover. Although she returned to work after being discharged from the hospital, she was unable to do what she wanted and would forget things from time to time. I discussed with her and let her retire early. She has three
She took the hospital report and applied for retirement a month ago, and the unit leader quickly approved it. She handed over the work at hand and retired at home last month."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "I've always heard about my sister-in-law and met her in the hospital. Unfortunately, I don't even know her name."
"Her name is Cai Yunyan." Liao Zongnan smiled gently and whispered: "Her name was given by her father. Her family used to be quite famous in the imperial capital. In ancient times, there were many virtuous people, and they even reached eight provinces.
The governor is from a scholarly family."
Xue Ling nodded and praised: "It's a very nice name! It's also very poetic!"
Twenty or thirty years ago, those who could go to the countryside were basically high-level intellectuals. This sister-in-law Yunyan should also be quite knowledgeable, otherwise she would not have been able to become a big leader after returning home.
Liao Zongnan laughed and said to Yourong: "It sounds really nice. I call her 'Yan'er'. By the way, Xiao Xue, you and she are from the same hometown!"
"Yes! Fellow!" Xue Ling said: "We are very destined! So I must have a good meal with my sister-in-law at noon today and have a good chat. No, I also brought all the specialties of the Imperial Capital."
…
At noon that day, Xue Ling drove Boss Liao to their home.
Their home is still in the community of the work unit, and the environment is very quiet. The building is more than ten years old, four or five stories high, and it is considered to be the best building complex in Rongcheng more than ten years ago.
Boss Liao got out of the car and led her inside.
"This used to be the center of the city and very prosperous. She liked it very much. It was convenient for commuting to and from get off work and shopping for groceries. So after the first phase was built, I kept two units for myself. Unfortunately, she didn't like living there, so she stayed there. Vacant."
"It's okay." Xue Ling said: "Let's rent it out next. Let it be rented out with the second phase, and let Xiao Chen help you manage it and collect the rent on your behalf."
Liao Zongnan nodded and said: "The news has been released, and people are starting to look at the houses one after another."
The two went up to the third floor and soon arrived at the door of his house.
"Yan'er! I brought Xiao Xue here!" Boss Liao quickly picked up a pair for Xue Ling while changing his shoes.
Xue Ling bent down to change it, and the door opened quickly.
I saw Cai Yunyan dressed simply, with fair skin, elegant and quiet temperament, and he gave her a warm smile.
“Little
Xue Ling quickly stood up and held her hand, "Sister Yan! Hello, hello!"
Her hands are gentle and soft, just like her own person, giving people a loving and warm feeling.
Cai Yunyan led her into the house and explained gently: "I wanted to see you as early as summer. But he stopped me, saying that it was very hard for you to be pregnant with the child. Later I heard that you went back to your parents' home in the imperial capital.
I was still giving birth there, and I even thought that we would meet in the imperial capital. Unexpectedly, you came back, and we finally had the opportunity to meet."
She invited Xue Ling to sit down, prepared a pot of jasmine tea, and poured a large cup for Xue Ling to drink.
Xue Ling thanked him with a smile, and after a few sips he explained: "Winter has begun in the imperial capital, and the weather is cold. The factory just stopped working for a while, so I brought my parents over to spend the winter. The children are still young, so they came here to spend the winter.
a little better."
Cai Yunyan squinted her eyes and fell into memories.
"The winter in the Imperial City is really cold. It snows occasionally, and the snow is covered with snow, and everything is white. Brothers and sisters will wait and wait until the snow finally stops, and then rush out to make snowmen and have snowball fights. What I like most is making snowmen and giving snowmen
Prick a big nose. Then my mother will chase everyone out and ask everyone to go back and drink ginger water, laughing and scolding everyone for being naughty..."
Xue Ling looked at her appearance and knew that she missed her hometown.
"Sister Yan, I heard from Boss Liao that you are going to live in his hometown and also in the Imperial Capital. Your natal family in the Imperial Capital should have many family members, right? By the way, my family is on the east side of the old city."
"Oh! It seems that we are really destined." Cai Yunyan said with a smile: "My hometown is also over there in the east of the city."
