Chapter 21: Reunited Lovers after a long absence
Xiao Xiao breeze, timidly returning home, dare not ask anyone!
Back to the long-lost hometown, the stove chimneys stretched out of the roof of every household are still the same as the old place, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats seem to know Min Haoran, and they shouted casually when they saw Min Haoran.
"Which one is tender. The child running on the ground ran to Min Haoran and paused, asked a question and ran to him with a hippie smile.
The field is still familiar with the busy work.
Under the warm sun, by the wall of the house, several elderly people chatted about family life, looked at Min Haoran, felt unfamiliar, ignored it, and looked into the distance.
"Uncle, I'm Haoran, your old health is fine. Min Haoran greeted him and shook the old man's hand.
"Oh, oh, Haoran, I've been back for a few years, and I've gained a lot of weight, and I can't recognize my forehead. I heard that Nen is an official in a far away place, yes, he has a good life, and he has won glory for the Min family. The uncle stroked his white goatee and put his arms around Min Haoran to look at it.
At this time, the people around the village heard that Min Haoran and Wan Qingguo were back, and they all ran over to ask for warmth.
"There was green smoke on the ancestors of the Min family, and an official came out of the ravine. The second old man on the side looked at Min Haoran kindly with his body bent, his mouth that had lost his front teeth leaked from the wind, and a few long residual hairs flew to the side with the wind.
"Cub, Nen is finally willing to come back to see the forehead, and I haven't been in the house for more than ten years. Min Haoran's mother saw them from afar and staggered with crutches.
"Mother, I'm back to see you. When Min Haoran saw his mother, he hurriedly greeted his mother and choked up, and Wan Qingguo also followed and called 'Auntie'.
"Qingguo, poor child, Nen is back, okay, go back to the house quickly. The mother walked into the house with one in her hand.
"Look at the tenderness, the hair is gray, and I'm so busy over there. The mother stroked Min Haoran's head as she walked.
"Don't be busy, in a few years you will be a grandmother, and I will also be a grandfather, of course my hair is gray, mother, you are in good health. ”
"Okay, okay, everything, my granddaughter has grown taller. Nen and Qingguo sat down and went to the garden to cover some vegetables. The mother sat down for a while, got up and picked up the basket and walked out.
"Mother, I'll go with you. ”
"No, Nen and Qingguo will talk, and they will be back in a while. Mother stopped Min Haoran and walked to the vegetable garden by herself.
Life is easy to grow old, the years are rushed, and some people disappear as soon as they turn around. When Min Haoran left his hometown, Wan Qingguo, Zhao Ruyan's parents and father were so strong, and now they are guests outside the world, the second master can support the majestic body of a blue sky, and now he is also clumped waist, and his mother is also old enough to need crutches to support. Time flies, fleeting, 'once upon a time' has been like a dream, I can't go back, the memory is like water, but it is stronger than wine.
Min Haoran felt the most guilty in his heart because he was sorry for his family, especially his father. There is a custom in my hometown that the old man must observe filial piety as a child after his death, but because of his work, he stepped on the train to the west on the second day of his father's burial.
also said that when he was stable and took his parents to Xinjiang to enjoy happiness, he never thought that his father would be separated by yin and yang before he waited for this day, and every time he thought of this, Min Haoran could not suppress his grief in his heart. What especially hurts his heart is that at some point, his mother began to look at him.
Our parents' world is small, our hearts are only filled with us, our world is big, but we often ignore our parents. Once when his mother was nagging beside him, he raised his voice impatiently and complained, and his mother left hesitantly, Min Haoran was shocked to find that his mother was restless beside him, cautious in words and deeds, and his heart was wandering.
The family sits idly and the lights are amiable. Min Haoran imagines that when he was a child, when something was slightly wrong, he was beaten and screamed by his mother, and hid in another family's cowhouse; he imagined that when he was a child, his mother made a few dishes, stretched out his dirty hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and then stuffed it into his mouth and ran away; he imagined that when he was a child, he was so rebellious that his mother couldn't control the scolding and couldn't control it, and she hugged and cried together helplessly, but her mother never cried again. Min Haoran even wanted to kneel down and beg his mother to scold and beat her again, so that her mother knew that in her eyes, she would always be a child who had not grown up, and her mother was still the pillar of the family.
During his few days at home, Min Haoran went door-to-door to visit his neighbors and villagers, and gave him Xinjiang's special dried fruits.
Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives, Wanqingguo's stormy home is like a city, know the unknown, near and far, eight poles can not hit the relatives one after another, squeezed through the threshold, shh
When you fail, the first to look down on you is your relatives, and when you are strong, the whole world will be kind to you, relatives everywhere, friends everywhere. Wan Qingguo remembered that his parents passed away coldly, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and sighed why human feelings were so sophisticated.
The day before they returned, Min Haoran and Wan Qingguo made an appointment to meet a few old classmates, and they came to Zhao Ruyan's garment factory. Zhao Ruyan's garment factory is no longer called a garment factory, but Sijiao Clothing Co., Ltd.
At the wrong time and in the wrong place, he fell in love with Min Haoran by mistake, and inadvertently had Zhao Siji, who was also sad and happy. Zhao Ruyan spent her whole life to forget, she wanted to marry Scareye and be able to live a dull life, but her youthful dream was crushed by Scareye again.
Winter hides spring buds, people always grow up in an instant at a certain moment. Since having Zhao Sijiao, the ones who gave birth to her and those who gave birth to her are all worries that she can't let go, for them, Zhao Ruyan did not bow to the ups and downs, did not admit defeat to life, but was brave and strong, incarnated as a fighter of fate, fearlessly became strong in an instant, and all difficulties and obstacles were shattered in front of Zhao Ruyan.
Starlight doesn't ask passers-by, time pays off, Zhao Ruyan stirred up waves in the rough sea, reefs and dangerous shoals.
Min Haoran never thought that Zhao Ruyan, who would scream when she saw insects, didn't dare to sleep with thunder and lightning, and was as gentle as chopsticks and tofu, would run a small workshop into a decent company. The company's hall displays a variety of fashionable clothing, customers listen to the waiter's introduction, the sewing machine that used to be pedaled has been replaced by advanced motors, and more than 200 employees are skillfully bowing their heads and running water.
Zhao Ruyan has changed from a little girl in the countryside to a rich proprietor, dressed fashionably but frugal and dignified, mature and steady, if it weren't for the waiter's introduction, Min Haoran might not be recognizable for a while, and he really sighed that the years are unforgiving.
"Ru Yan, it seems that my previous worries are superfluous, I really didn't expect you to have such an achievement today, it's not easy, I'm really happy for you. At noon, Zhao Ruyan entertained Min Haoran and Wan Qingguo in the private room of the staff canteen, and Min Haoran raised his glass and toasted Zhao Ruyan.
"Have you ever worried about me? duplicity, worried about why I didn't come to see me for so many years. Hey, you only see the glitz on the surface, and you can't appreciate the ups and downs. The market is very cruel, the competition is fierce, and we have no way back but to fight forward. The bigger the business, the greater the responsibility, the more you move forward, the more frightened you become, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Zhao Ruyan smiled after speaking, and she was even more charming in her maturity, and her smile was not only lamenting the ruthlessness of the years, but also lamenting the ruthlessness of her former lover.
Zhao Ruyan knew that others envied his success, but who could understand the pain and hardship when he hit the south wall, and how much pain and injury he endured!
"By the way, the family is okay, how is your daughter?" Min Haoran asked a little sadly.
"You say Si Ji, she studied business administration in Singapore. As for the family, I am so focused on running the company that I don't have time to think about the relationship between my children and daughters. Speaking of Zhao Sijiao, Zhao Ruyan endured the pain and picked up the wine glass and dried herself.
"It's still hello, you have a successful career, your daughter is angry, it's good that you didn't go with me at the beginning, otherwise you would have suffered a lot. Min Haoran sourly glanced at Zhao Ruyan affectionately.
"What about you, I heard that you are doing well in Xinjiang, and the officials are not small. Zhao Ruyan saw Min Haoran's dark skin and gray hair, and thought that she must have suffered a lot.
"What kind of official, a little civil servant, the people's orderly, come, Qingguo, go one. Min Haoran didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Ruyan's complaining eyes, picked up the wine glass and drank with Wan Qingguo.
"I haven't been back for many years, is it really so busy over there? Although time has passed, Zhao Ruyan still blames Min Haoran for not greeting him for many years.
"This time I came out mainly to attract investment. Wan Qingguo's business in Shenzhen is also not small, and there is some development in my county, thanks to Wan Qingguo's introduction, I have met a lot of people who do your business. Min Haoran removed the topic and resolved Zhao Ruyan's unbearable eyes.
"Congratulations to you Wan Qingguo, you were naughty when you were in school, but I didn't think you would toss a successful person. Zhao Ruyan also picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup.
"What kind of successful person is tossing around outside, eating with a mouthful of food. Wan Qingguo didn't know what happened to Min Haoran and Zhao Ruyan, it sounded like there was a story, and he couldn't interject anything, so he beckoned his mouth to himself, and when he heard them talking about himself, he casually responded to the harmony.
"How's the business going?"
"It's not as good as it could be. There are a few entrepreneurs in Shenzhen who have said that they will go to inspect and inspect for a while, but they are not accurate. There is a silk Ruyi brand enterprise in Zhejiang, with a large number of orders, and the boss intends to go to our side to investigate, but we don't have a garment factory there, so there is not much hope. Min Haoran looked at Zhao Ruyan in disappointment.
"What a coincidence, you also know him? The business owner you mentioned is surnamed Sun, I know, and he also approached me and asked me to make clothes for him. But it is difficult for me to recruit workers, and our young people here have all gone to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and they would rather earn less money than stay in a rural factory like ours. Zhao Ruyan looked at them in surprise. Her clothes are mainly sold to Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and she also has many contacts with Boss Sun.
The Boss Sun in their mouth is Wan Qingguo's old friend Sun Yonggui, who met in Shenzhen. The world is originally very big, but sometimes it is so small, Min Haoran and Sun Yonggui just met by chance, who would have thought that Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan were also friends.
"Really, you know him too! Sun Yonggui has been my best friend for many years, why is the world so small, there is fate, it is really fate. You said that it is difficult to recruit people here, there are many people in southern Xinjiang, especially in the rural surplus labor force, and young people have nothing to do. The businessman's brain is turning fast, Wan Qingguo continued the topic: "Otherwise, you can build the factory in Jiangnan County and get orders from Boss Sun, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"
"Ru Yan, what do you think?" Min Haoran suddenly realized, and tentatively looked forward to Zhao Ruyan.
"If you say that, you can try it, I also want to make my company bigger, and the market is still good. Zhao Ruyan thought about it and said.
Since Zhao Ruyan divorced Scareye, she just wants to cultivate Zhao Sijiao well, and she is dedicated to her career. Min Haoran's sudden appearance caused ripples in her heart, and although it had happened for many years, her feelings for Min Haoran were still the same. She didn't want to disturb Min Haoran's life, but it was also a happiness to be able to silently watch over him. Now there is no concern around me, my parents have passed away, and my daughter is also studying abroad, so the company can be handed over to others to take care of.
"I think so, let's go back and postpone it, I and Sun Yonggui have also been friends for many years, I'll call him now, and I'll go to Zhejiang tomorrow to discuss with him, Ru Yan, what do you think?" Wan Qingguo was excited, and his heart for success was more eager than Min Haoran.
"Okay, you see he's not here, if he's here, we'll go over, and I also have to go to Zhejiang to do some business. Zhao Ruyan readily agreed.
Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan are old acquaintances. In the clothing foreign trade circle, Sun Yonggui has a great reputation, he is not only engaged in foreign trade, but also domestic sales. Foreign trade is mainly from the garment factories to order some low-end products, exported to Africa and other countries, domestic sales are mainly to create a high-end brand of silk Ruyi clothing.
Coincidentally, Sun Yonggui was originally working in Shenzhen. Shenzhen was engaged in construction at that time, and Sun Yonggui's brother-in-law built a brick factory in Shenzhen, and the business was booming, and Sun Yonggui helped his brother-in-law run the export market. The bricks of Wanqingguo Construction Company are all Sun Yonggui's bricks, and the two of them come and go, like-minded, and slowly become close friends. Sun Yonggui saw the business opportunity of joining the WTO, and with the help of his brother-in-law, he established a garment factory in Zhejiang, and became a listed company in just over a decade.
In Sun Yonggui's office, Min Haoran gave him a rough idea of his initial idea.
"County Magistrate Min, just said goodbye and reunited, I really didn't expect you to be classmates with my two friends, we are really fated. Your idea is good, I also have the idea of building a production base in Xinjiang, our company wants to build a garment production company with more than 10,000 people, but it is difficult to find technical personnel there, and technical personnel here are not willing to go over. Sun Yonggui said with embarrassment.
Sun Yonggui is modest, dressed casually, his hair is a little 'dirty' on his head, his speech is crisp and neat, and his speech and demeanor do not have the 'local heroism' of some bosses.
"You see, Mr. Sun, in comparison, our production efficiency is much higher than here, because the state has given Xinjiang many preferential policies, such as tax reduction, freight subsidies, employment subsidies, wage subsidies, training subsidies, electricity subsidies, etc. Our county also has its own policies, for example, water circuits and other ancillary facilities have been built, if you go to invest, we will also tailor personal services according to your clothing production, you only need to 'screw the bag to move in', the most important thing is that you don't have to worry about employment. Min Haoran tried his best to introduce the advantages and policies of southern Xinjiang as comprehensively.
Min Haoran especially wants to win this project, if this project is won, it will solve the employment of 10,000 people, and I am excited to think about it, the key is that it can also affect many other industries. Once the project is implemented, it will be a groundbreaking event in Jiangnan County.
"Mr. Sun, I also went to southern Xinjiang a few years ago to develop. Although southern Xinjiang is located in a remote area, the cultural environment is very good, and the young people there are just like us back then, there is no way to find employment, and someone needs to hold hands and take a hand. If you invest there, you will bring many jobs to the local people, and they will have hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. At present, the state is focusing on supporting the development of the western region, and we, as the first batch of beneficiaries of the country's reform and opening up, can be regarded as making some contributions to the country. Wan Qingguo and Sun Yonggui are old friends, they speak casually, and they also started the ideological work of attracting investment for Jiangnan County.
"Mr. Sun, we have also been familiar with each other for many years, and we are all people who can trust each other. We work together, and I am responsible for the technical staff, but if it doesn't work, I will close my company, and all the employees will go over there to be technicians, what do you see. Zhao Ruyan feels that there is room for development in this project, and this is also a good opportunity to wait silently by Min Haoran's side.
"That's it, County Magistrate Min, I am very touched by your sincerity. When I'm done here, Mr. Zhao and I will go to your place to inspect it later. I'm very new to Xinjiang, we'll discuss it later, how about leaving, I'll take you on a tour of our company, and I'll arrange dinner after that, it's rare that we are so fateful. ”
The next day, Min Haoran did not return to his hometown, and pulled Wan Qingguo directly back to Jiangnan County. He must rush back immediately to report the matter to Yuan Jing and make preliminary preparations. Since Sun Yonggui promised to investigate, he must let this project land, and Min Haoran returned to his heart like an arrow.
