When it was time for dinner, the old couple insisted on going back, because they were worried that Xiao Linzi's dinner would not be settled, especially Zheng Shujun.

Jiang Heshui called Xiao Linzi, which made the old couple sit down again with peace of mind. Jiang Huaijun urged Su Chunyan in the kitchen vigorously, saying that he was already hungry.

When Su Chunyan finished the dinner, Xiao Linzi and his family also entered the house. The two received a lot of good food: fruit, two bottles of wine, a smoked chicken, and two cans of imported milk powder with a unit price of more than 200 yuan.

Su Chunyan picked up the milk powder and looked at it, and handed it to Jiang Heshui.

When Jiang Heshui saw the price of milk powder, he was obviously a little unhappy, "What are you talking about, just show that you are taking advantage of it?"

Xiao Linzi smiled greasy, glanced at the daughter-in-law beside him, and then looked at Su Chunyan: "This is what Shujun bought for his goddaughter." ”

This was said so clearly that Su Chunyan completely lost her curse: "Okay, don't say anything." Hurry up and eat, my son has been hungry for a long time. Her conversation and demeanor were very calm, which made Xiao Linzi and his family breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Heshui has always eaten on the coffee table, and he thinks that sitting on the sofa drinking and watching TV is the only way to enjoy life, even when the two of them are at the dinner table. I don't know what year Su Chunyan went to the city with her, and the table showed that the room was much more spacious.

In this family, only the little casual in the old lady's arms does not drink, and the atmosphere in the house has always been strong.

Su Chunyan looked at her son and always felt a little regretful: "Son, my mother originally planned to let you study abroad, but when your sister came like this, you didn't think about anything, ah." ”

"Eh—" Jiang Huaijun chewed on his chicken wings, with a completely indifferent look: "If you can't go abroad, you can go to heaven if you go abroad." My classmate told me that he had a cousin who had studied abroad and had been coaxed into bed by a gringo just after graduation, and was kicked by someone a few days later, and now he has no face to return to China. What do you guess later?" this kid is like a storyteller, and he actually makes a suspense.

"What happened next?" asked Xiao Linzi with interest. All eyes were on the kid's face.

"Later," Jiang Huaijun wiped his hands with a tissue, "and then he was even more shameless—he was coaxed away by an old foreign man." He amused everyone, "If someone like me wants to go abroad and doesn't want to be offended, he has to have a rich father - a father who is a big official." The boy glanced at his father's face, and then said to his mother, "Who knows what virtue my father has, and who doesn't make enough money to spend on others, so pull it down! "This kid seems to be a little drunk. "Mom, to be honest, it's just about my sister, I still have to be on my dad's side. As the saying goes, life is the foundation, and nurturing is the heavens, and what my father did was doing the right thing for heaven, and if you objected, wouldn't that be against the principles of heaven?"

"Oh mom, this is really a kind of father. Zheng Shujun has always been silent, but at this time, she didn't know why she was also bubbling up.

Su Chunyan's face was gloomy, but there was still a bitter smile hanging from the corner of her mouth: "Don't drink it, I don't know what to do!"

Jiang Huaijun is not very old, but he is involved in the world and says: "Mom, don't get angry." Actually, what I said is true. But don't worry, once the critical moment comes: if I had to choose between you and my dad or something, I would definitely choose you, okay?"

When Su Chunyan heard her son say this, she felt a lot more comfortable. "Okay, it's useless to be poor, it's better to read well in the future than anything else. ”

Xiao Linzi was already drunk and a little incoherent: "Huaijun said it well, his head is good, this book is not in vain." His hand began to point, "When you graduate from college in the future, follow your uncle, and your uncle will teach you everything; don't listen to nm, she dreams that you will get an official or a half-job in the future, so what's so good? Since ancient times, officialdom has been the darkest, and nine out of ten officials are greedy." According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 10 million corrupt officials in the country, and 95 percent of them keep mistresses. At this, he smiled dumbly. "When the time comes, if you don't learn badly, I'll fucking walk backwards. Ha ......"

Xiao Linzi's almost gaffe looked, and no one thought it was funny. The old couple was a little nervous, but they couldn't help laughing.

Su Chunyan's cheeks flushed slightly, "There's no serious thing." With that, he went into the kitchen.

"It's going to be a full moon in two days, I'm thinking about what to arrange?" Jiang Heshui deliberately bypassed the topic.

"Xiao Suiyuan?" Xiao Linzi glanced at the little guy in the old lady's arms, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Heshui told him that the name of Xiao Suiyuan was given by Director Lin.

"This name is good, not bad. Xiao Linzi praised it greatly, "Oh mom, the wife of the secretary of the municipal party committee, you will personally name my daughter?

After nine o'clock, Xiao Suiyuan had already fallen asleep. Xiao Linzi was really drunk at this point, and he talked more and more, all repeating in a trembling manner, making everyone a little tired. Zheng Shujun, in particular, has poked his head many times.

When it was time to disperse, everyone refocused the topic on the "full moon" of Xiao Suiyuan. Jiang Heshui plans to call back all the people closest to him, including Sheng Xiangyun. Sheng Xiangyun is Xiao Linzi's own sister and the only one. She has already started a family in Shenzhen and has a daughter.

"Let's pull it down, how busy Xiangyun is in Shenzhen, and it's not a New Year's holiday. Boss Su Chunyan said reluctantly.

Why is Su Chunyan unwilling? In fact, there is another hidden reason. However, the old couple also felt that she was right. It's not a New Year's holiday, isn't it just a full moon wine, and there is no need to stir up the people.

Because of this, Jiang Heshui and Su Chunyan's eyes collided again. We know each other.

The old couple lived in a four-story house in the seventies of the last century, with a total of three units. The communal balcony on the second floor of the middle unit has a door at each end. Go upstairs to the left door and enter, and there are two doors opposite to each other inside: on the right is the old couple's final home, and on the left is the current love nest of Sheng Xianglin and his wife. The rooms are all one-bedroom, one-bedroom, one-bathroom and one-kitchen. At that time, people almost had almost no concept of a hall, in fact, there were two rooms, one large and one small, with a total area of less than 40 square meters. Especially the bathroom is small and pitiful, that is, half a meter square;

Jiang Heshui is the third of the four siblings, plus the Xiaolinzi sisters and brothers, there used to be six young boys and girls here, like a nest of chicks. Now, except for Xiao Linzi alone, the others have already flown away with full wings.

Although the house is smaller, it is filled with decades of warmth and happiness, and of course, there are also human sorrows that are gradually drifting away and unforgettable.

One day in the middle of summer 1972, a young couple who graduated from a prestigious polytechnic institute were conducting geological exploration in the dense forest and mountains. Suddenly, the sky was filled with eerie black clouds, followed by a rare heavy rainstorm. At the foot of a boulder, the couple hugged each other tightly, terrified,...... The earth-shattering landslide ruthlessly merges two living beings with nature in an instant.

This young couple, who sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of national geological exploration, are Xiaolinzi's biological parents. At that time, Xiao Linzi was only eight years old, and his sister, Sheng Xiangyun, was twelve years old.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and the sister and brother sat at the dining table in a daze, looking at the scrambled tomatoes with eggs, dried tofu with sharp peppers, four pairs of chopsticks and a small wine cup, waiting for the familiar and friendly knock on the door,......

Jiang Heshui's eldest brother, Jiang Heshan, has a wide range of interests and has a job of fiddling with the radio. He scraped together a nine-inch black-and-white television in his home, which was a real rarity at the time. Therefore, whenever there is a good program on TV, the children and adults in the neighborhood will fill the Jiang family with it. Among them, of course, the sisters and brothers on the other side are indispensable.

Two full days passed. That night, when all the people watching the TV had dispersed, the old lady suddenly remembered something. "Why didn't the two brothers come over tonight?" she asked her wife.

The old man also suddenly realized, and hurriedly urged the old lady to hurry over to see what was going on.

It was Xiangyun who opened the door, and she was full of joy thinking that her parents had returned. But when she saw the old lady standing in front of her, her face sank and she burst into tears.

Seeing this, the old lady panicked. She took Xiangyun in her arms after a few "What's wrong!?" in a row, and reached out to drag Xiao Linzi, who was standing aside with tears in his eyes. The sister and brother snuggled in the old lady's arms and wailed for a while, which alarmed the old man and the Jiang Heshui brothers. After some persuasion by everyone, the sister and brother entered the house. Sheng Xiangyun sobbed and said what he missed and worried about his parents in the past two days.

"You kid, why didn't you tell Jiang Niang earlier. The old lady was not without blame, "Did you go to the unit to inquire?"

"Go. Sheng Xiangyun seemed much calmer, "The leader said that they didn't know what the situation was, so let me and my brother wait at home." ”

Even the leaders didn't know what the situation was, which made the old couple deeply uneasy. After that, Jiang Heshan took his sister and brother to the unit to inquire many times, but to no avail. It wasn't until a week later that several relevant leaders of the unit came to the door to announce that Sheng Xiangyun's parents had died in the line of duty and were posthumously recognized as "martyrs". Before the age of 18, the siblings can go to the unit to receive child support - 18 yuan per month each.

Since then, the siblings have been taken care of by a relative, and they have to leave early and return late every day. The so-called relative is an aunt of the sister and brother, and the uncle-in-law is the head of the administrative section of an enterprise. This section chief is a talent, and he seems to have a bright future. The position of section chief was prominent at the time and was a sweet dream for many women.

In winter, when the old lady looked at the little jacket on Xiangyun's body, which had long been out of shape, she couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion, and sewed one for her overnight. Xiangyun wore it on his body warmly. One night, the old lady went to see the siblings as usual. I don't know why, Xiangyun plunged into her arms, tears flowed vigorously, and she didn't let go for a long time. The old lady's heart suddenly softened, like a cotton ball. The two children were very wronged at a relative's house, she had heard of it for a long time, and many people knew about it.

The old lady first wiped away her tears, and then held Xiangyun's tear-stained and expectant little face, "If your sister and brother don't dislike it, let's live together in the future." You can eat whatever his brother eats, okay?"

Sheng Xiangyun burst into laughter and nodded frequently, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

The old lady read her eyes, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to your aunt and uncle, maybe I can do it somewhere?"

Sheng Xiangyun nodded again and breathed a long sigh of relief.

On the evening of the weekend, the old couple prepared a table and banquet to feast on the section chief's family. After negotiation, the section chief's wife finally made a decision: the two children can come over, but they must save the living expenses of one child - 18 yuan. The section chief was silent about this. Jiang Heshan was angry, but he wanted to speak, but was stopped by the old couple.

This result is much better than the old couple expected, "Okay! Even if the living expenses of the two children are given to you, it is better to save others from making irresponsible comments in the future." The old lady said. The old man agreed.

"How can that be. The section chief spoke, "The living expenses of the two children will be kept half. You are afraid of other people's opinions, and I am also afraid of others poking your backbone. Okay, just do what his aunt says. He made a final decision like a justice, and explained: "Leaving a share of the child's money is a responsibility for our relatives in the future, please don't misunderstand." ”

Since then, the wall between the two families has disappeared.

At a dinner table, the siblings changed their minds and finally had their own father and mother.

A few years later, the section chief came together with Jiang Heshui by accident, and the two were in the same unit. However, the former section chief was already a department-level cadre. Just when he was proud of the spring breeze, he never thought that he would be planted at the foot of the river and end up with a "double opening and one judgment".

This is Jiang Heshui's first performance since joining the company, and has been praised by superiors. Especially Secretary Xu, he specially invited him to his home for a meal. That meal was cooked by Director Lin himself. Of course, some people say that he is a personal vendetta, and some people say that he is a righteous murderer. "Fuck it, it's all out of reach. "He didn't care.

However, Jiang Heshui also encountered an unexpected trouble: Sheng Xiangyun cried and made trouble at him, and he almost hanged himself. Jiang Heshui had sheltered her since she was a child, and she had never seen her like this, so he said to her tepidly: "What's the matter? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the evening? It's really good to have a scar and forget the pain." Okay, let's not talk about personal grievances. Do you know how greedy your aunt must be? If he had been a little less greedy, he might still have a report now. Nearly 200,000 yuan! What a fat bold! Seriously, I always think that those people in the court are not good things, so why should they give him such a light sentence? If I were replaced, hum, it would be strange if he didn't collapse!"

Sheng Xiangyun also felt that he was unreasonable, "Then my aunt, my cousin, what should they do in the future?"

Jiang Heshui pointed at her, his face full of disdain and helplessness, "It's my mother who spoiled you." Do you think your uncle-in-law is really stupid—can he spit out everything he eats? "He said it as if it were true.

Sheng Xiangyun had nothing to say. Indeed, as Jiang Heshui said, she is the most painful thing for the old lady in a group of children. Jiang Heshui's sister, when she got married, the old lady only spent less than 1,000 yuan. But when she Sheng Xiangyun got married, the old lady actually spent five or six thousand for her, which can be said to be all she had. When the sister is unhappy, it is unfair to count the old couple, and often says some angry things, such as Sheng Xiangyun was born and raised by the old lady; In a fit of anger, he didn't come back for several Spring Festivals.

Sheng Xiangyun often sinks into her warm and happy teenage years.

The river water went to the countryside of Jiangxi in 1975, and since then this big family has gradually become deserted. In 1977, the eldest and second children had already gone to Yunnan and Heilongjiang respectively, and later the fourth child also went to Xinjiang in 1977 with a roll of bedding, leaving the family with the two brothers and sisters and brothers. However, every Spring Festival, the house will be unusually lively for a while. When Xiangyun is old enough, the educated youth of the whole country are busy returning to the city.

After the Spring Festival in 1978, the rivers returned to the countryside within a few days. The excitement on his face was like he had survived the hardship - he was lucky to enlist in the army, and the whole family cheered for it. In particular, Sheng Xiangyun has reached the age of sixteen, and the water is clear, charming and eye-catching. Her eyes often stayed on the face of the river, and she felt red and hot from time to time. In this regard, the rivers and rivers with unfamiliar emotional intelligence were completely unaware of it, and they were completely immersed in the joy of joining the army.

Sheng Xiangyun and Su Chunyan were best friends in high school, especially Su Chunyan, who was a well-known school girl. Jiang Heshui knew Su Chunyan, and she was introduced by Sheng Xiangyun. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes. Sheng Xiangyun never thought that after Jiang Heshui became a big hero, he let Su Chunyan, who was good at words, take the lead and take the love he has loved for many years in his arms. She was annoyed by this, her liver and intestines were broken, and she didn't know when it would be. It wasn't until they got married and had children that she rationally decided to give up that bitter relationship. Although I think so, there is still a dry and barren desert in the depths of my soul.

She went to Guangdong for this reason, and finally decided to settle down in Shenzhen. A hard-working, loyal husband and a beautiful and lively daughter seem to bridge the shortcomings of her previous life. When she first arrived in Guangdong, she didn't want to see that unkind guy again, but no matter what, she couldn't let go of her reborn stepmother who had treated her as her own and loved her for many years. Two years later, she and her then-fiancé returned to the home that haunted her dreams. Later, she gradually understood: In fact, Jiang Heshui has always regarded herself as a sister.

Just yesterday, Jiang Heshui also called her and said about Xiao Suiyuan, but he didn't say that Xiao Suiyuan was going to pass the full moon.

Subsequently, Sheng Xiangyun gave Xiao Linzi a thousand yuan, saying that he was buying something for Xiao Suiyuan.

In the past two days, Xiao Linzi has often been depressed. I don't know when, he fell in love with Xiao Suiyuan again. But no matter how he coaxed and persuaded him, Zheng Shujun just didn't get in - he didn't dislike this or that, so he made a detour to avoid Su Chunyan all day long. He took the 1,000 yuan from his sister and decided to take advantage of the situation to find Su Chunyan to talk about the matter.

Su Chunyan took the money, heard that it was Sheng Xiangyun who called, glanced at Jiang Heshui, polite on her lips, but a little vinegar in her heart.

"It's all a family, so what's polite. Jiang Heshui said.

Su Chunyan's little bit of caution is the old yellow calendar. She put the money away with a smile on her face, "What's the matter, Shujun doesn't care about it when you're old?"

"Oops," Xiao Lin smacked his mouth with a helpless look on his face and said, "It's not okay." This girl is also so strong, not to say that she can do it, but also to say that she can't give birth to something to die without turning a blind eye. When I said she was bad, she tickled me. He lifted his shirt, revealing a few scratches on his chest.

Jiang Heshui and his wife were happy, "You deserve it, how can you talk like this?" Su Chunyan joked.

"Okay," Jiang Heshui rushed at Su Chunyan, "don't talk about uselessness." Then he said to Xiao Linzi: "This child and you two are not in love, and if you don't get married, you can't do it." ”

Hearing Jiang Heshui say this, Xiao Linzi's heart was at the bottom.

But Su Chunyan poked Xiao Linzi like a joke and like a gamble, "Okay." When you go back, tell Shujun that she won't give me any more if she wants me in the future, and I will regret killing her in the future!"

June 2nd is the joy of the moon with a small fate, and the rivers naturally don't want to have any regrets. Xiao Linzi advocates doing a lot of things, and suggests that he shine in the Imperial Hotel not far from the "small jasper". Su Chunyan attached to Xiao Linzi, she wanted to return the etiquette that had been with her over the years. Helplessly, the river water is an alternative, and it is low-key and unassuming. In the end, it was decided to do it at home and bring the people closest to you together.

Jiang Heshui looked at Su Chunyan with an unhappy face, "The child just has a birthday, leave a souvenir, and know that she is the same as other children in the future." What do you say?" he turned to look at Xiao Linzi again, "Your sister-in-law has been working hard these days. I don't know how to cook. When the time comes, you will be a return cow, and let Shujun be a return horse. Anyway, you two can't be in vain, godfather and godmother. ”

"Okay, but I have one condition: you and my sister-in-law don't care about anything at that time, just let me show myself. ”

Xiao Linzi's words are full of confidence, and he has always been generous when he should spend money. This guy is shrewd and capable, he has already been worth millions, and everyone knows about it. Ten years ago, he stumbled into an off-the-beaten-path industry – working for a Hong Kong management consulting firm, which specializes in the certification of so-called "ISO9000 quality management systems". Once an enterprise obtains the certificate, it will cross a threshold to the world and truly connect with the world economy. At that time, the registration of such a company in China was a half-claw, and it was the patent of Hong Kong and Taiwanese. Therefore, if an enterprise wants to obtain this certificate, it generally has to pay more than six figures in RMB. Twenty-five percent of them are commissions from so-called consultants like Kobayashi. There are a lot of unspoken rules in this industry: consultants will be picked up and sent by car when traveling, accommodation is a hotel, red envelope gifts, and "KTV" are chic...... All expenses are paid by the company. In addition, for Xiao Linzi, this profession is respected and has a high degree of freedom. In fact, he is an authentic freelancer. At the same time, he also made some friends in the industry, especially a gentleman surnamed Huang in Hong Kong. Mr. Wong is currently a shareholder of a trading company in Hong Kong and has a close relationship with Xiao Linzi. Although the two have no business contacts, they also have the intention to meet and drink happily from time to time. If it weren't for Jiang Heshui's persuasion, he Xiaolinzi would have changed cars and moved out a long time ago.
