In the evening, after Wang Hong had a simple dinner by herself and had just tidied up the kitchen, her phone rang. She quickly put down what she was doing and went over to pick up the phone. It was a strange man's voice. "Teacher Wang, I found your home phone number.”His tone was very excited, causing Wang Hong to feel confused. Who was he? Wang Hong felt that the accent was unfamiliar. This was a man he didn't know. However, why did he call her so excitedly like an old acquaintance? Wang Hong was a little confused. "May I know who you are…"
" Hahaha," the other party couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wang Hong's question."Look, you intellectual, like us who do manual labor, no matter how hard you work, it's hard to leave an impression.”
Wang Hong was a little embarrassed when she heard him say that. She searched her mind for every piece of information, but she still didn't know who the other party was. "Actually, being a teacher is quite tough. It's not like what I told you," she apologized.”To express her feelings, Wang Hong added,""It's true!"
"Teacher Wang, I'm Tao Tao's father, Tao Daniu.”The other party did not blame Wang Hong at all and said,"It's the Tao Daniu who sent you off on National Day.”
Tao Daniu, Tao Tao's father? Only then did Wang Hong remember. It was him? He was stunned. To be honest, based on her impression, she didn't like this person, especially his carefree personality on the phone today. It was also difficult to accept. She didn't expect him to call home so soon, so she was a little unhappy.
Wang Hong rarely interacted with unfamiliar men, especially men who were about her age. She was more cautious. That day, Tao Daniu's pair of green eyes gave people goosebumps all over their bodies, and it was still fresh in their minds.
Tao Daniu called her home today, and she was a little unhappy. She really didn't like to associate with such people. However, Wang Hong had always advocated that family education should be coordinated with school education. He was a student's parent, and her professional habits made her try her best to control her emotions. She said happily,"Big Boss Tao, I'm really sorry.”
"Look at what Teacher Wang said." "My son Tao Tao came back. Guess what he said?”
"What are you talking about?" Wang Hong smiled.”
"He said that I didn't treat you to a meal."
"That's not necessary."
"Tao Tao said that it's common for parents to treat teachers to a meal. Moreover, my Tao Tao is too naughty. Now that he has suddenly changed his appearance, it's really a waste of your effort.”Tao Daniu said," Logically speaking, I should have thanked you earlier. It's indeed a little late to invite you now. I hope Teacher Wang won't take offense."”
" No, no, no," Wang Hong said hurriedly." This is what we should do. There's no need to thank us, let alone blame us."”
"Teacher Wang, please don't mind. The meal is on us, so you don't have to be polite.”"Alright, let's set a time. I'll come and pick you up."”
Wang Hong still wanted to dissuade him, but a beeping sound came from the other end of the phone. Tao Daniu hung up the phone.
This Tao Daniu did not wait for his approval before he hung up the phone. Look at how domineering he was! Nowadays, these wealthy men all liked to show off in front of women. Wang Hong didn't know Tao Daniu's character. Although he was polite, he actually gave people the feeling that he was trying to force someone to come. She had to be careful and ask a few more questions. Tao Daniu was so enthusiastic. Was it really for his son? Was there anything deeper?
In today's society, when a man was invited, he felt proud of his reputation in society, so he walked into the private room with arrogance. Women were different. When they were invited, they would be very careful when accepting the invitation. If they didn't know their limits, they wouldn't dare to agree rashly. Only in their own home could they relax 100%. Therefore, the family was the warmest harbor for a woman. Wang Hong, who was in her thirties, valued her family more and more. She felt that she could not lose this family. She had to protect her home. The most important thing was to be cautious in dealing with outsiders. Otherwise…
Thinking of this, Wang Hong felt that Tao Daniu's invitation just now had made her very annoyed.
Wang Hong began to wash the clothes that Zhao Guoqing had changed out of last night. Halfway through the shower, the phone rang again. Wang Hong wiped her hands dry and went over to pick up the microphone. It turned out that her cousin was looking for Zhao Guoqing. Wang Hong said that he was not at home. His cousin briefly told Red Wang Hong about the rumors that Zhao Guoqing couldn't go to the agricultural park in the government building. He also said that the key to the matter was Mayor Zhang. She wanted her to tell Zhao Guoqing that the situation was not good for him. She wanted him to look for Mayor Zhang and have a good talk with the leaders.
Zhao Guoqing came back exhausted after 10 pm. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Hong rushed up to him and asked anxiously,"Where did you go? Just now, my cousin called to look for you.”
"Cousin, you called me?" Zhao Guoqing was shocked when he heard his wife's words. My cousin works in the municipal office. He won't call unless it's something important. "What did he say?" he asked hurriedly.”
"My cousin said that someone in the building said that you had a big fight with Mayor Zhang because of the change in your work arrangement in the agricultural park.”"My cousin is very concerned and came to ask," Wang Hong said.”
There was a habit in Xuancheng that called the municipal government building " the building " for short, and " the building " was also used as a substitute for the municipal government.
I didn't argue with Mayor Zhang. How did it spread to the building? Zhao Guoqing was shocked.
"My cousin has repeatedly reminded me that it's best for you to sit down with Mayor Zhang. If there's any estrangement, you should have a heart-to-heart talk with the mayor and explain it properly.”
" Talk." Zhao Guoqing's face darkened when he heard what Wang Hong said."How?" He knew that this so-called " talk " was to say good things to the leader, beg for his concern, understanding, and charity. He didn't want to be promoted, nor did he want to get rich. He just wanted to do his own profession. There was no need to do this.
There was a barrier between them at work that needed to be cleared up. Wang Hong thought that her husband would be very happy to hear this suggestion. Who knew that not only did he not accept it, but he was also so disgusted. Wang Hong stared at his angry expression in confusion. Why did the usually gentle Zhao Guoqing change today?
Yes, in the past few days, Zhao Guoqing would be irritated whenever the agricultural park was mentioned. All these years, he felt that he had done his best in agricultural technology and had never slacked off. After the " Yonghong No. 2 " high-quality grape variety was promoted throughout the province, he planned to expand the scope of scientific research and prepare to focus on the cultivation of American red tart. Who knew that he would be transferred away as soon as he started working. He did not expect this project to die just like that.
After five years of hard work, she finally managed to get a place in the science park. Who knew that before she could enter the park, she would be thrown out for some reason. He was unwilling!
However, he thought about it again. It was good that he left. Even if he went to the agricultural park and worked hard day and night, even if he achieved results in the agricultural park, his political achievements would belong to the mayor and the bureau chief. It would bring glory to them. When it came to him, at most, he would say useless words such as "suffered" and praise him a few times to comfort him. Was it worth it to plead for mercy and put in a good word for them in such a job? She wanted to do her own profession, so why was she so cheap? Besides, he was involved in agricultural technology and relied on his own ability to make a living. There was no need to send things to the leaders and ask them for help. Don't think that you are worthless in Xuan City. If you go out, people will definitely treat you like a treasure.
"There are two bottles of Maotai at home.”Wang Hong saw that her husband didn't say anything. If he didn't object, it meant that he agreed. She said with concern.
Zhao Guoqing already felt that he was too cheap. When he heard Wang Hong say that she wanted to give him Maotai, he couldn't help but shout,"Why should I give her Moutai? I really don't understand. I can't eat with knowledge. Isn't this book a f * cking waste?”
"Don't make it sound so unpleasant!" Wang Hong said," What's the use of just relying on skills? In this society, relationships and feelings are the most important. Take you for example. You think you're good, but as long as there's a slight movement, others will attack you. This means that they don't understand you, don't trust you, or at least don't have any feelings for you! In such a situation, you have to be even more calm and calm. Giving something and getting in touch with the leaders was nothing more than strengthening the relationship and letting them understand you.”
"I don't need to use such a despicable method to win their understanding!”Zhao Guoqing said," I published a theoretical article in a national journal and have research results in practice. They don't know about it. Isn't that authoritative enough? They still want me to give them gifts, put in good words for them, and explain to them before they can send me to the science and technology post. Aren't I too cowardly?”
"This is your stupid theory!" Wang Hong said," There are many experts like you in the country. We can use a shovel to shovel. Without you, the construction of the country will still be successful."”
"That makes sense." "People don't treat me like a human, but I want to value myself," Zhao Guoqing said excitedly.”
"Alright, you're a great expert. It's precious. If you don't want to go, I'll go!”
As Wang Hong spoke, she went to the inner room and brought out the wine.
"Stop!" Zhao Guoqing was instantly enraged.”
"Go now!"
"How dare you!" When Zhao Guoqing heard his wife's words, he shouted crazily,"If you dare to walk out of the door with wine in your hand, I'll cut you with my saber!”As he spoke, he took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and rushed toward Wang Hong hysterically.
Facing her husband who was charging at her with a knife, Wang Hong did not move. She said gently,"Calm down first."
Zhao Guoqing rushed in front of his wife. Seeing that they were still standing there calmly, he froze. He looked at her in horror, dropped the knife in his hand, and rushed to the study, crying pitifully.
Wang Hong silently walked behind Zhao Guoqing. She saw her husband's shoulders shrugging and sobbing. His trembling sobs were very desolate. A string of crystal tears immediately rolled down her eyes.
"I'm doing this for you, for our family!”she choked.
"You don't have to worry about my matters!"
"I don't need to worry about your matters.”
Wang Hong saw her husband stand up in a daze, and tears poured out like water from an open dam. Yes, the husband was indeed wronged. Who else could understand it except his wife? She sat down beside her husband on the sofa and wiped her tears as she said calmly,"National Day, a real man can yield and stand firm. Can you just 'yield' once? Once your matter is settled, our family will be stable and harmonious. Your glory is also the glory of the whole family. Your happiness is also the happiness of the whole family. Have you thought of this? Cherish this family well. Can you let me go?”Wang Hong said as she stood up from the sofa.
"If you really want to go, I'll break this bottle!”Zhao Guoqing didn't listen to a single word of Wang Hong's words. He rushed in front of her and shouted at Wang Hong at the top of his lungs.
Smash the wine bottle? When Wang Hong heard Zhao Guoqing's angry words, she froze. Her heartfelt words were in vain. She did not expect her husband to not understand her painstaking efforts. Tears almost flowed out. They had been married for more than ten years, but they were still strangers. It seemed that this family that he had painstakingly built was still so fragile. What else could he say? Wang Hong couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She ran into the room and fell on the bed, swallowing softly.
Over the years, it had become a habit for the couple to break off their relationship after quarreling. Wang Hong went into the room after taking a bath sullenly. Zhao Guoqing had a messy dinner and watched the news before he went to the bedroom. He saw that his wife was covered with the red blanket that had been sealed for a long time, tightly wrapped around her body and curled up in the bed. He couldn't help but be stunned. She was giving him a red warning!
The red blanket was something that the couple had agreed upon on the night of their tenth wedding anniversary. At that time, Zhao Guoqing was less than thirty years old, and it was the romantic season full of fantasy. He took out the red quilt as a wedding gift, which puzzled Wang Hong."National Day, what kind of trick are you playing?”
Zhao Guoqing was passionate. He hugged his wife, Wang Hong, and said,"Take a guess."
Wang Hong said,"Your way of playing is outdated." In the past, the romance between lovers would mostly be a small question for the other party to guess, or one would run in front and the other would chase after them. Now, who's in the mood for this?"
" No," Zhao Guoqing said confidently,""I think it's very trendy, but you can't guess it.”
"Alright, I can't guess.”
"There's a saying now that couples face emotional problems after ten years of marriage," said Zhao Guoqing. Today, we have been here for ten years. I don't think this 'weakness' problem will exist for us. In order to test our relationship, if one day, anyone feels weak, they will separate and cover themselves with this red blanket.”
Hearing Zhao Guoqing's explanation, Wang Hong bent over with laughter. She thought it was funny and agreed. She snuggled into Zhao Guoqing's arms and said gently,"Hubby, do we need this red blanket?”
Zhao Guoqing hugged his wife tightly and said,"I don't think so. However, I dare to say this. If you feel tired one day, you can find another boy to be your close friend. I'll be your spare tire.”
Wang Hong didn't answer her husband's question directly. Instead, she asked her,""What about you? Would you find a girl to do this?”
Zhao Guoqing was a little embarrassed by his wife's question. He looked up at his wife and said,"Yes!"
Wang Hong thought that this answer was really funny, so she continued,""Me too."
In the end, the two of them looked at each other. This look was their trust in their relationship. After they understood each other, they hugged each other and laughed.
Since then, the red blanket had been tied up high and had never been used. What was wrong with Wang Hong today? Did she give him a red warning?
If she didn't agree to go to Mayor Zhang, how could it be that her relationship was weak?
The wine delivery wasn't a relationship crisis, but a difference in opinion.
According to the original agreement, after their relationship weakened, they could look for their own soulmates. Zhao Guoqing immediately thought of Tao Daniu. Would Wang Hong go to Tao Daniu?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guoqing's body heated up. Wang Hong was a girl who grew up in a very traditional family and was deeply educated by tradition. Now, she was also beginning to deviate from tradition. Was this the advancement of society or the retrogression of society?
Where was Jiang Feng? When Zhao Guoqing thought of Tao Daniu, he immediately thought of Jiang Feng. How could he explain Jiang Feng's appearance in his life?
Jiang Feng? Zhao Guoqing suddenly remembered the meeting between Jiang Feng and the designer. The outcome of the meeting would determine the existence of his relationship with Jiang Feng. To be honest, he could not bear to see Jiang Feng leave him. He especially did not want to see Jiang Feng cut off his feelings and build a relationship with another man. In the past two days, he had forgotten about this matter because of the agricultural park. She didn't answer her call. Why couldn't he call her and ask her? Thinking of this, he quickly grabbed his phone and pressed two numbers. He saw Wang Hong in the red blanket on the bed, and the red blanket that was warning him. Was it okay to call Jiang Feng like this?
He had no choice but to keep his phone.
No, Zhao Guoqing felt that he was dating Jiang Feng because he was not doing well at work. He wanted to change his environment and adjust his mood. Even if that kind of relationship happened in the future, it would be because their relationship had reached a climax. They would naturally reach that step without any coercion. It was what both parties needed. Ever since he had established a relationship with Jiang Feng, he had never thought of abandoning his family or Wang Hong. This kind of thing was not new in society anymore. He had not done anything wrong. Although it was not reasonable and legal, he was not surprised. Thinking of this, Zhao Guoqing felt calmer.
However, how could the word " good " explain the meaning of the good family that he and Wang Hong had painstakingly built? In the circle of acquaintances, people were all envious of their harmonious family. Now, was this family considered outstanding?
The more Zhao Guoqing thought about it, the more tired he felt. This " tiredness " was caused by the agricultural park. Agricultural park? F * ck! His mind was filled with a mess, and he did not feel sleepy at all.
