The kindergarten opened after the new year, and there were nearly a hundred new children in the kindergarten. The kindergarten also recruited five kindergarten teachers at the last minute and opened three new classes. Du Bolao couldn't stop smiling. Every time he reported to Boss Jia, he would brag about how he worked and how the teachers loved their jobs. Boss Jia was happy to hear this and said,"Director Du, I know that all of you have worked hard. I'm not a stingy person. I want everyone to share the money I earn. How about this?”" Boss, there are two things that we need to do right now," Dubrou said hurriedly." First, the school buildings need to be improved, especially the three new classes. They need to be renovated inside and out so that the parents can look at them comfortably. This is the hardware." Second, I want to go out with Vice Director Shang to study and learn some advanced management experience. I want to strive to improve the management level of our park. This is the software. "Also, can the teachers 'salaries be increased appropriately? You see, the prices of goods are also rising now. The teachers don't feel at ease with their work and often complain in front of me.”Boss Jia said," The first thing to do is to do it immediately. We must give the parents an impression that we place the children in the most important position. We must use the parents to gain a good reputation for us. "It's easy to raise the salary. You can calculate the salary of the teachers in the other kindergarten and see how much it needs to be raised. How much money will be needed in a year? Write a report to me. Although the second matter also needs to be done quickly, both of you can't go out for inspection at the same time. It's definitely impossible for no one to be in charge of the garden. Why don't you take turns to go out according to the situation?”"Okay, I'll contact the staff immediately about the renovation of the school building. As for the salary increase, I'll go to the other kindergarten in the city to inquire about the specific situation before we calculate it. I'll definitely arrange for the inspection trip. I'll definitely guarantee your safety.”
After putting down the phone, Du Bolao went to the street to contact the renovation workers. They agreed that the renovation would be done on Sunday and that it would not affect the class on Monday. When he returned, he saw that Shang Liu Xin did not have classes, so he called her to his office.
"Just now, I reported the current situation of our garden to the boss. The boss was very happy and praised us for doing a good job, especially you.”"It's all what I should do." "Now that the scale has expanded, if this continues, the scale will definitely expand in the future. The boss is worried that our management can't keep up, so he asked us to go out and train.”"I think we should also go out for training. Our current management is based on our own experience and there is no theoretical guidance. I'm worried that if this continues, it will have a negative impact on our garden.”"So you're willing to go out and study? I was afraid that you wouldn't be willing to go out.”"Of course, we can't wait to have the opportunity to go out and see the world. Why wouldn't we be willing? I think not only do we have to go out for training, but we should also let the teachers go out and see. It will definitely be beneficial to improve their work ability.”"That's a later step. First, we have to improve the management level of the leaders. Then it's settled. I'll hurry up and contact the training unit or the inspection unit, and then we'll go out together, okay?”"I'm afraid it's not good.”"Who cares who's talking? There are people behind the Emperor who are talking about it. If you can stab a pig's mouth, can you stab a human's mouth? After I got together with you last time, I missed you so much. I want to be with you every day. Now that there's such a good opportunity, we have to grab it. It'll be a pity if we miss it.”"I don't know." Du Bolao heard Shang Liu Xin say this and knew that she didn't reject him. He couldn't help but feel lustful. He stretched out his hand to hug Shang Liu Xin, but Shang Liu Xin hurriedly pushed her hand away and said,"No, no, not here. People will see.”With that, he walked out. Du Bolao stopped her and said,"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. We'll have fun again in the future." I suggest that you buy a mobile phone so that you can call and answer wherever you go. This way, it's convenient to contact each other and won't delay things.”"I have the same idea. There are so many things to do now. It's really inconvenient to not have a phone. I'll discuss it with Zheng Qinglan when I go back today.”"You need to discuss with your family to buy a phone with your salary?”"Of course, I have to say it. A cell phone costs at least a thousand yuan. It's not a small amount. I'm sure he won't object.”"Are you that confident?" "Of course, I know his character. If he really objects, I'll buy it too. It's not up to him.”"That's you. You're tough.”
Just as Shang Liu Xin expected, Zheng Qinglan said,""Buy it. You have a lot of things to do now. It's more convenient to have a phone. Let's go to the phone shop after work. Think about it first and see what you want. There are straight phones, flip phones, slide phones, and different brands.”"How would I know? I've never used it before. We'll see when the time comes.”"Withdraw the money. I'll wait for you at the museum after work. Call me and I'll go with you.”
After work, Shang Liuxin called Zheng Qinglan and the two of them went into a phone shop. "Boss, what brands do you have?" Zheng Qinglan asked the boss.”The boss pointed at the phone in the counter and said,"There are many brands. There are foreign brands and domestic brands. Foreign brands include motorola, ericsson, noika, and domestic brands include bird, changhong, and capital letter. In short, there are many brands. It depends on the price you want.”"If you want to buy one, then buy a better one. It looks good too." Zheng Qinglan said to Shang Liu. What do you think of this one? Look, the body is sapphire blue, and the buttons are black. The color combination is very good. It feels very stable and generous, and it looks very classy. The body is slender and small, and it fits well in your hand.”The boss said," You really have good taste. This is indeed a good cell phone. This is a motorola from the United States. This cell phone was sold out a few days ago. This one just arrived today.”"How much is it?" "There's a price on the sign, 1,800." Shang Liu Xin shook her head when she heard that," It's too expensive, I don't want it!”Zheng Qinglan said," Good things are definitely expensive. I think we should just buy this one. It's convenient and comfortable to use good things. Boss, we'll buy this one."”Shang Liu Xin was still complaining about how expensive the phone was and how it would cost her several months of salary. Zheng Qinglan had already taken out money from her bag and handed it to the boss.
The moment she entered, Shang Liu Xin used her phone to call her family. Zheng Qinglan said,""What a coincidence. I got a call as soon as I entered the door.”"Hurry up and pick it up!" Zheng Qinglan quickly ran into the room and picked up the microphone." Hello, who are you?”Shang Liu Xin deliberately didn't speak. " Who are you?" Zheng Qinglan asked again." Can you hear me?"”"I can hear you. The voice is very clear.”After saying that, he laughed loudly. "Try calling someone else." Shang Liu Xin took out her phone book from her bag and dialed a few numbers to test it out. The results were all very good. Shang Liu Xin said," A phone is really good. It's so convenient. When I get used to it, I'll buy one for you too."”"I don't have many phone calls, and I don't go out often. I don't need them, so it's better to save them. " Ouch…" She covered her cheeks with her hands and frowned. "What's wrong with you?" " My tooth hurts a little. This damn tooth, ouch, it really killed people. Ouch…"”"No, it's late today. I can't go even if I go. Yaya will be back soon. I'll go to the medicine shop to buy some medicine first before I go.”Zheng Qinglan's teeth had been bad since she was a child. When she was in primary school, her teeth suddenly hurt on the way to school. She couldn't even walk anymore. Later, she cried all the way to school. The teacher saw it and said that it was a decayed tooth. She needed to smoke it. A male teacher gave him a cigarette and asked him to take a puff. Then, he held the cigarette in his mouth for a while and spat it out. After a few puffs, it really didn't hurt anymore. However, Zheng Qinglan's teeth often fell off one by one. It was like a weathered stone. Zheng Qinglan didn't like to complain in front of her parents, so she didn't tell them about it. Later, her parents found out about it from Zheng Qinglan's friends. When his mother asked him if it still hurt, he said it didn't. Since then, it had hurt a few times, but it would be better if he found a local doctor or a doctor in the health center to get some medicine. This time, the pain seemed to be different from before. It was so painful that his entire scalp was numb. Even if he pulled hard, he would not feel much pain. It was like an ant biting him.
Zheng Qinglan went to the pharmacy and asked if there was any special medicine for toothache. The people in the pharmacy said that there was no special medicine, only ordinary ones. They suggested Zheng Qinglan to take the Zengxiao Sulfuric Acid Tablets and Metronidazle together. However, this would have a great impact on her stomach. Zheng Qinglan couldn't care about anything else. She took the medicine and tore open the package. She swallowed a few tablets and then took the rest of the medicine home.
"Are you feeling better?" Shang Liu Xin asked. "How can it be that fast?" Zheng Qinglan answered with a frown. "Can you eat like this?" Zheng Qinglan shook her head and moaned in pain. "Then I'll make you a bowl of egg soup.”"No, it hurts. Stop talking and let me lie down for a while.”Shang Liu Xin lifted the blanket to let Zheng Qinglan lie down, then covered him with it, saying,""Lie down for a while. When you're better, I'll make something for you to eat.”Today, Shang Liu Xin's attitude was exceptionally good. Zheng Qinglan felt uncomfortable no matter how she lay down. The indescribable pain seemed to come from all directions and wrapped him tightly in the middle. He couldn't break free. He only fell asleep after midnight. After a while, he woke up again. He was hungry. He sat up and felt dizzy. He leaned against the back of the bed for a while and felt more awake. Then he groped out of bed and went to the kitchen to heat up some food. Shang Liu Xin had been sleeping soundly the whole time and didn't know that Zheng Qinglan had woken up.
When Shang Liu Xin was cooking noodles in the morning, she realized that there was not much food left. She asked Zheng Qinglan if she had gotten up to prepare food, and Zheng Qinglan said yes. Shang Liu Xin said,"Why didn't you tell me to get up and help you?"”"I can heat up the food myself. It's so cold, so I didn't want to disturb you.”"Take a leave of absence and go to the hospital to have a look. Try to treat your broken root. Toothache is not a joke. Toothache is not a disease.”"I'm much better now. Maybe the medicine is effective. Let's finish the medicine first.”"Then do as you please. Don't say that I didn't warn you.”
Zheng Qinglan had been thinking about the manuscript in Jin Ling's hands, but Xiang Lan had just left, so Jin Ling must still be in pain. She couldn't ask about the manuscript at this time. He had called Jin Ling a few times, and every time, he would tell her something happy. Jin Ling would smile occasionally, but she couldn't help sighing as she spoke. Zheng Qinglan felt so uncomfortable, but she couldn't do anything about it. Jin Ling had taken the initiative to tell him about the manuscript. She said that she was reading it and had asked him how he was doing several times. Every time she asked this question, Zheng Qinglan would either remain silent or reply that it was alright. Zheng Qinglan was also wondering why Jin Ling kept asking him that. Could it be as Teacher Luo said, that she had seen something from the manuscript? Logically speaking, she wouldn't. After all, she was so far away from him and didn't know much about his life. He didn't know that Jin Ling knew him much better than he did. Jin Ling was actually suffering from many things. The first was naturally Xianglan's death, the second was her deep sympathy and regret for Zheng Qinglan, and the third was her helplessness and helplessness towards her own fate.
Zheng Qinglan couldn't concentrate because she was thinking about Jin Ling and her own manuscript. The few short stories that she had planned to write were delayed again and again. Although he kept telling himself to calm down and scolded himself again and again, he still couldn't calm down. On this day, he was sitting at his desk scribbling when someone called his name from outside. When he saw it, his eyes immediately widened in disbelief. The man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile,"What's wrong? You can't believe it, right?" Zheng Qinglan came back to her senses and said,""Big Brother Dong, why is it you? I never dreamed that you would find me here.”"It's not just me. Look who else is there.”As she spoke, she pointed at the door. Zheng Qinglan walked to the door in a few steps. She looked out and saw Baogen smiling at her. Zheng Qinglan took his hand and led him into the house.
"Brother Dong, why are you here today?”"Brother Qinglan, you don't know yet, right? Big Brother Dong is no longer the Big Brother Dong from back then.”"Quickly tell me what happened. Come, I'll pour you some tea.”Bao Gen said,"Big Brother, you should tell Brother Qinglan yourself."”"There's nothing much to talk about. I'm mainly here to see my brother. I'm here to eat and drink. Brother, you're a good drinker. Back then, you used teacups as wine glasses.”"I don't drink much now. After all, I'm not a young man anymore. I don't have that much energy.”"I have a lot of opportunities to drink. As long as I want to drink, I have wine to drink every day.”"Are you still in the coal mine in the Black King Village?”"I've been back to my hometown for seven or eight years. My hometown also has a coal mine. I'm working in my hometown's coal mine now.”"Big brother, just tell Brother Qinglan directly. Brother, our big brother is very successful now. He is the general manager of our mine and manages thousands of people.”"Big Brother, congratulations. Tell me about your experiences over the years, okay?”"I came here to drink and chat with you. I'll tell you anything you want to know.”"Big Brother, a few years ago, I went to the Black King Village to look for you. However, something happened midway and I couldn't go. At that time, you were still in the mine.”"Oh, yes, I went to ask once. What is Shang Liu Xin doing now? Are you guys doing well?”"She works in a private kindergarten.”"Aren't we disturbing your work here? Why don't I go find a place with Baogen first? We'll talk when you get off work.”"Big Brother, don't worry. A unit like ours needs to have more contact with the outside world and understand as much information as possible. Therefore, the leader doesn't restrict us from receiving people from outside.”"Alright, we won't disturb you. Brother Baogen, go to a hotel on the street and book a table. We'll treat Brother Qinglan to a meal later.”Baogen agreed and walked out. Zheng Qinglan grabbed him and said,""How can there be such a reason? Since you're here, I'm the host and you're the guests. How can I ask you to treat me to a meal?”"Brother, don't say that. We treat you like a brother and just turned around to see you. After all, we're running a business and making money. It's normal for us to treat people to a meal.”
After Baogen left, Zheng Qinglan refilled Dong Liming's cup and the two sat down to chat. "Big Brother, I heard that you were locked up by the police back then. They said that you would be sentenced to a heavy sentence. Why were you released after a few months?”Dong Liming didn't say anything. He just took a sip of tea. Zheng Qinglan saw that his hands were trembling and the tea almost spilled out of the cup. She thought that this question might be a little abrupt. She couldn't help but regret it and thought about how to change the topic. "Big Brother, how did you become the general manager?”"To answer your question, we still have to talk about the question you raised earlier.”"What? They're actually still connected?”"Yes, there is a connection. That year, my father called me and said that my sister was bullied by a hooligan and had committed suicide. I rushed back to argue with that heartless dog. I didn't expect that the guy who deserved to be killed not only didn't admit his mistake, but also shamelessly said that he was capable and that my sister was pestering him. When I heard that, I was so angry that my lungs exploded. In my anger, I attacked and knocked out four or five of that guy's teeth and broke three or four of his ribs. If it wasn't for the people beside me running over and holding me back, I'm prepared to take that bastard's life on the spot to avenge my sister. That guy was not convinced and went to the police station to report me. The police station arrested me. When the villagers heard that I was arrested, they jointly wrote a letter to seek justice for me. They also helped me to pay for the medical expenses of that dog. This matter was reduced to a small matter and a small matter was resolved. I always felt that I owed the villagers a favor, so I thought that I had to repay this favor in my life. Later, our village also opened a coal mine, so I went back. I didn't have any other skills, so I tried my best to think of ways to mine more coal and make more money so that the villagers could have an extra income. In recent years, the coal market has been good, and the income of our village has increased a lot. We have become a well-known wealthy village near and far. The villagers also recognized me and made me the general manager of the mine. There's nothing to say. The villagers trust me, so I'll continue to work. I won't be greedy or take advantage of them. I'll manage everyone's property well so that everyone can rest assured and repay the villagers 'kindness.”"Big brother, I always thought you were a man of indomitable spirit. I was right about you.”"What man? I only have two rules. One is that I can't look down on others, and the other is that I can't let others look down on me.”
"Big brother, your words are of a high standard. They're even better than mine.”"I'm just a boor. I can't say anything fancy. I just say what I think. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We have to look up to others and look down on ourselves. As the saying goes, the more you praise someone, the better. The more you step on someone, the worse it is. However, if they bully me, I will definitely not let them off. People have to live with backbone. For this, I am not afraid even if I have to go to jail and be shot.”Zheng Qinglan admired Dong Liming more and more. She felt that she lacked Dong Liming's boldness.
"Big brother, the banquet is ready." Baogen came in and said. Zheng Qinglan quickly stood up and poured tea for Baogen. Dong Liming said," Brother, stop pouring. We'll go over first. Come over after work and bring Shang Liu Xin and the child over. I want to see them. The child is already in his teens, but I haven't even seen him yet." Also, see who else you want to treat to dinner. Bring them over too. I'll treat them to dinner for you.”"How can that do?" "Brother, don't worry about this and that. Just think of us as brothers. Don't worry, this is a private treat. I'm using my own money. I won't use a single cent of the public money on myself. I've already told you just now that our village's income has been very good these few years.”"Big Brother Dong, you're overtaking the host by doing this. You have to let me play the host." Zheng Qinglan said.”"We're brothers, so don't talk about guests or hosts. I have many opportunities to run around outside, so maybe one day I'll come to your place again. If you invite me again, I won't refuse.”"Since big brother said so, I'll accept it shamelessly. You guys go ahead first, I'll come over later.”
After sending Dong Liming and Bao Gen off, Zheng Qinglan was thinking about how to tell Shang Liu Xin about this. Based on his senses, Shang Liu Xin and Dong Liming didn't have any deep relationship. They were merely acquaintances. He even felt that Dong Liming didn't have a good impression of Shang Liu Xin back then. This was naturally because Shang Liu Xin had been gossiped about when it came to relationships. Thinking of this, Zheng Qinglan felt a little uncomfortable. Forget it, it was better not to tell Shang Liu Xin, just say that he had something on and could not go home for dinner, but what about Ya Ya? With that said, Yaya couldn't go either. It's better to tell her directly. If she wants to go, then go. If she doesn't want to go, it's best. Anyway, I won't force her. Everything is up to her. Seeing that it was almost time, he closed the office door and went downstairs. He came to the place where Shang Liu Xin had to go to work and waited for her. After a while, he saw Shang Liu Xin riding her bike over. Shang Liu Xin saw Zheng Qinglan standing there and said,""Why aren't you going back after work? Are you waiting for someone here?”"Waiting for you." Shang Liu Xin got off the bicycle and was slightly puzzled." You never waited for me to go home. What's wrong today? Did the sun rise from the west?"”"No, there are guests coming from the west.”"What guest?" "Big Brother Dong.""Tell me clearly. Which Big Brother Dong?" Do you have any relatives with the surname Dong?" "He's not a relative. He's Dong Liming, the captain of your village's coal mine.”"Oh, it's him. What's he doing here?”"He's working in their mine now. This time, he was originally in Henan to discuss business. We're not far from Henan, so he turned around to take a look. He booked a banquet at the hotel and invited us to dinner. He wants to see you and Yaya.”Shang Liu Xin thought for a moment and said,"No, I still have something to do in the afternoon. You can take Ya Ya."”"Then I'll go and stop Yaya on the way. If I'm late, I'm afraid she'll go home.”After saying that, she hurriedly left. Just as she reached the intersection where Yaya went to school every day, she saw Yaya and a few classmates walking over while talking and laughing. Zheng Qinglan waved and shouted. Yaya heard it and ran over after saying something to those classmates. "Daddy, why are you here?" "Waiting for you." "What's the matter?" "It's like this. Dad's old friend came over from Shaanxi today and invited us to dinner. I'll wait here for you to go over together.”"Shaanxi is so far away. How did you guys meet? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?”"He used to work in the coal mine in your mother's village. I met him when I went there to collect wind. After that, he returned to his hometown, so I didn't tell you about him. He's a good person.”"Is he older or younger than you?" "Older than me. I didn't ask him how much older he was.”"Then let's go quickly. I also want to see this uncle and listen to him talk about what happened there.”
As soon as they entered the private room, Zheng Qinglan said to Yaya,""Ya Ya, this is the Uncle Dong I told you about. Quickly call him Uncle Dong. This is Uncle Baogen.”Ya Ya walked over openly and called Uncle Dong and Uncle Baogen. Dong Liming and Baogen came up and looked at Yaya carefully. Dong Liming couldn't help but praise,""Aiya, brother, you're really lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. Daughter, come and sit. Tell me how your grades are and what your hobbies are.”Ya Ya just smiled and did not speak. "Daughter, why are you smiling and not saying anything?" Dong Liming asked.”" She's too embarrassed to say it," Zheng Qinglan said with a smile." She could only smile."”"What's there to be embarrassed about? Your father and I are like brothers. You are my niece. What's there to be embarrassed about?”Ya Ya was still smiling. "Just tell the uncles the truth," Zheng Qinglan said.”"Uncle, there's actually nothing much to say. His academic results are so-so, and his biggest hobby is reading.”"Ya Ya, why did you learn to be humble today?”"Daughter, you're still lying in ambush with uncle.”"Big Brother, this girl has never been humble in front of me. Today is the first time we meet, so she has restrained herself a little. Let me speak for her. Her academic results are not bad, but she has never been in the top three.”"Aiya, I knew you were a smart kid the moment I saw you. I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You'll definitely be the top female scholar in the future. Brother, your luck is really good. Sigh, didn't I ask your family to come over for a meal? Why didn't Shang Liu Xin come?”"I told her to come. She said that there was an event in the garden in the afternoon and she had to host it. She really couldn't get away. She asked me to send her regards to you and invite you to visit her when you have time.”"It's fine if you can't come. There's still a long way to go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Come, it's getting late. Serve the dishes. After dinner, my precious daughter still has to go to school.”"Big Brother, there are only four of us. Don't order too much food. It's a waste if we can't eat it.”"I know. Since Brother Baogen has already booked it, we won't return it. How about this, we'll eat four meat dishes and two vegetables. The hotel will prepare the remaining dishes later. You guys can bring them back for dinner.”"Then I'll thank you on her behalf." "You're here again. Scholars really have more etiquette. You can talk about this to outsiders, but don't talk about this to me. Come, the dishes are all served. Drink and eat. Daughter, drink Jianlibao. Uncle will pick some food for you. Eat well and strive for better results. In a few years, you will be a real top female scholar. Uncle will come over to drink your promotion wine.”Dong Liming picked up the food for Ya Ya and said,""This is the first time we've met in more than ten years. We have to finish this first cup of wine in one gulp, just like we did back then.”Zheng Qinglan and Bao Gen also raised their glasses. The three glasses clinked against each other, making a crisp sound. Then, the three of them drank it all in one gulp. Ya Ya looked at Zheng Qinglan in confusion. She had never seen Zheng Qinglan drink like this. Zheng Qinglan knew Yaya's doubts and said,""What's wrong, girl? Do you not understand Daddy? Daddy is happy today. He has never been as happy as he is today.”Dong Liming also said," Yes, I'm happy. A thousand cups of wine is little when it comes to meeting a bosom friend. My daughter, don't think that I've not studied much. I admire people who study the most." Don't think that your father is a scholar. He's usually indecisive when he does things and speaks. But I know him. He's actually a responsible person. No matter how heavy the burden is, he can carry it on his own. No matter how big the grievance is, he will carry it on his own. He's a good person and definitely a good father.”"Yes, uncle. I've never seen my father lose his temper or heard him complain.”"Yes, this is called being a man. It's your fortune to have such a good father.”Zheng Qinglan had tears in her eyes. No one had ever thought that he had suffered any grievances over the years, but many people had said that he was stupid. He felt that it was not good to say this in front of Ya Ya, so he raised his glass and said,""Big Brother, Big Brother Baogen, I'll offer you a toast.”He knocked it again and drank it in one gulp. "Daddy, Mommy said you shouldn't drink like this," Ya Ya said.”"Dad is happy to see a good friend he hasn't seen for more than ten years. Don't tell Mom.”Dong Liming also said," Daughter, let's toast to each other. After that, we'll drink slowly. Don't worry, I promise not to let your father get drunk. If you come back from school and see your father drunk, write a letter to criticize me."”"Uncle, it wasn't easy for you to come here. I'll pour you a glass of wine on behalf of my mother.”Dong Liming and Bao Gen said at the same time,"Sure, sure."”Dong Liming continued," This child is too sensible. Brother, how did you raise him? How did you raise him to be so smart and sensible?" You have to tell me so that I can teach my grandson in the future.”Zheng Qinglan laughed. Ya Ya finished pouring wine for the three of them, put down the bottle, and said to Dong Liming and Baogen,""Uncle Dong, Uncle Baogen, enjoy your meal. I'm done eating and have to go to school.”Dong Liming and Baogen took out red packets from their pockets and stuffed them into Ya Ya's hands. Dong Liming said,""Daughter, Uncle Baogen and I don't know what you like, so we didn't buy you a gift. You can use this money to buy books and study hard. Uncle is still waiting to attend your graduation banquet.”"Thank you, Uncle. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take your money.”"Daughter, you have to take it. Otherwise, uncle will be unhappy.”He turned to Zheng Qinglan and said," Brother, let your daughter hold it."”? Zheng Qinglan said to Yaya," Yaya, Uncle Dong and Uncle Baogen really want to give it to you. Take it. Remember what they said. Study hard."”Ya Ya took the red packet and thanked Dong Liming again. They went to school and the three of them continued drinking. After a while, Baogen said that he couldn't take it anymore, so he took his leave, ate, and left. Dong Liming said," Don't stay here. Go somewhere else. It's not easy for you to come here. You can check the ticket at the station. We have to go to Henan today."”"I'll just sit here and see if you need anything else," said Bogan.”"Alright, we're two good men. Why do we need you to take care of us? Go ahead. I'll call the waiter if you want anything.”"Then I'll be leaving. You guys can drink and chat slowly. I'll be back after taking a stroll."”
"Big brother, isn't Brother Baogen a good drinker like you? Why did you drink so early today?”"He was afraid that the two of us would be drunk and no one would take care of us, so he retreated first. It's good that he retreated. One of us has to be sober. This Brother Baogen is really a good brother. He's even better than a real brother. If it weren't for him back then, I wouldn't have been released from the police station so quickly.”"How did he help you? Could it be that he has a powerful relationship?" "He's not related. He's just like me. Three generations of poor farmers from our ancestors can't be compared to an official's relative. At that time, I injured that dog and the police station locked me up. When Baogen heard that I was locked up, he asked for leave from the mine and rushed back. He invited my brothers to that guy's house to reason with him. He forced and coaxed him until that thing relented. He said that as long as the police station didn't pursue the matter, his family would promise not to say anything else. Later, Baogen contacted the villagers to write a joint letter to vouch for me and even took out his savings to compensate for that thing's medical expenses.”"He's really a person worthy of deep friendship. Big brother, it's really good that you can have such a brother.”"Yes, I'm lucky. I often think to myself that I don't have any money or ability. Why am I so lucky to be able to marry such a good person? Sometimes, I don't even understand myself.”"Big brother, that Song Jiang, in terms of martial arts, not to mention Lin Chong, Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and the others, he might not even be comparable to Li Kui and Shi Jin. In terms of intelligence, he can't compare to Wu Yong, and in terms of wealth, he can't compare to Chai Jin. But why do so many Liangshan heroes admire him? Brother, aren't you the same as Song Jiang? You must have something that makes people admire you. Big brother, I think you're kind, honest, and generous. You're a trustworthy person.”"Brother, you flatter me. How can I get any benefits? I think you're a man with a broad mind and boldness. To put it bluntly, back then, I never thought that you would get together with Shang Liuxin. Lan Guiying told me that she warned you not to get too close to Shang Liuxin, but you didn't listen. Later on, I thought that you and Shang Liu Xin wouldn't be able to continue growing. Seeing how lively and sensible your daughter is today, I know that your family is doing well. Otherwise, your daughter wouldn't be so lively and cheerful.”Zheng Qinglan smiled." I can't win against her," she said." I can only stay away from her. I can't afford to offend her, but I can also hide from her."”"Brother, how are you hiding? You're clearly giving in on purpose. I know Shang Liu Xin's personality. If you go against her, then the family will be in chaos all day long. This man should have some tolerance sometimes.”
Zheng Qinglan had a stomach full of grievances. In the past, he had never told anyone because he felt that no matter how bad Shang Liu Xin was, she was still his wife, the closest person to him. No matter how close an outsider was, she was still an outsider. Only a fool would tell an outsider about his family. He had drunk quite a bit today. In addition, he had always admired Dong Liming and treated him as his own brother, so he started to talk non-stop. "Big brother, this brother also has a belly full of bitterness. In the past, I never had the chance to fall. Now that I've met you, big brother, this brother is going to fall.”"Brother, if you have any other problems, you can tell big brother. But if you want to talk about the things between you and Shang Liu Xin, I advise you not to say it. It's not that big brother doesn't want to hear it from you, but big brother feels that you're not a vulgar person. You're a kind person and never want to hurt others. How about this, brother? This is my number. If you really want to talk, just call me in the future. I'll listen to whatever you say. I'll definitely help you if I can.”
Hearing Dong Liming's words, Zheng Qinglan calmed down a little. Indeed, although he was extremely dissatisfied with Shang Liu Xin's actions, and he was even a hundred percent sure that Shang Liu Xin had cheated on him, he had never thought of telling these things to outsiders. If he wanted to say it, he would definitely say it to Shang Liu Xin face to face. Outsiders weren't afraid of the audience. There were many people who wanted to see him raise a fuss. He didn't want to become the topic of gossip for others, and he didn't want to damage his dignity because of these messy matters. Although this dignity had been destroyed by Shang Liu Xin, he naturally didn't want others to talk about Shang Liu Xin.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother. I drank too much today and couldn't control myself.”"It's okay, brother. I know exactly what kind of person you are. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come so far to see you. You have such a good daughter. Good days will definitely come.”"I know, big brother. There are some things I won't tell anyone. Even if I'm not responsible for myself, I have to be responsible for Yaya.”"Brother, I'm relieved that you think this way. No matter what happens, think about your daughter.”"Yes, big brother, I know. You don't have to worry.”
At this moment, Baogen returned. As soon as he entered, he took out two tickets from his pocket and said,"Big Brother, the tickets are already bought. It's 4:30. We have to spend the night in the car.”"So be it. At this time, the further north we go, the colder it gets, unless we go south. Brother, it's getting late. Let's bid farewell here. Call me when you have time. I want you to take the time to come to our place. I'll treat you to mutton soup and listen to Qin opera.”Zheng Qinglan held Dong Liming's hand, and Baogen followed behind. The three of them went downstairs together. Looking at Dong Liming and Baogen's gradually fading backs, Zheng Qinglan felt a pain in her heart. She looked up and sighed, then staggered toward the cultural center.
