Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Gangyu in shock, "Dad, what are you doing here? You tortured my eldest brother last night, and you used me to operate again this morning, are you forced to marry and force you into a habit?"

Xiao Gangyu said: "What are you and that person called? Zeng Yue, you've been talking for a year, right? It's time to talk about marriage, right?"

"Dad, why do you always want to force us to get married? Your thinking can't keep up with the times, what age is this? The marriage of the children is in their own hands, do we have to get married when we fall in love?"

Xiao Gangyu glared at Xiao Lin angrily, "Do you fall in love or not?" How do you say that "love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan", I think you are a hooligan!"

Xiao Lin smiled weirdly, "Okay, okay, you're right, I'm playing hooligan!"

Xiao Mo and Xiao Xuan also laughed. At this time, Yang Qingtong walked over, happened to hear Xiao Lin's words, and scolded angrily: "Xiao Lin, you can't be a hooligan! Your father is serious with you, and you look like a hanger." ”

Xiao Lin said: "Mom, life is tired enough, how boring is it to be serious?"

Yang Qingtong said: "You are poor!"

Xiao Mo looked at his phone, the time had come to 7:50, Xiao Mo said, "Mom, is breakfast ready?"

Xiao Qingtong said: "It's done, let's start the meal now." ”

The family sat at the table and prepared to eat, Xiao Xuan said excitedly: "I really haven't had breakfast at home for a long time, I haven't experienced this kind of happy time for a long time, thank you Dad, thank you Mom!"

Xiao Mo said: "Xuanxuan, you will be in the country forever when you come back this time, and we will share a lot of happy times with our family in the future." ”

Xiao Gangyu said: "Xuanxuan, if there is nothing else to do today, will you go to the company with me and your second brother?"

Xiao Xuan said, "Okay, I was just about to tell you about this." "Glance at Xiao Lin, who was watching her. Xiao Lin said: "Xuanxuan, you just came back yesterday, take a few days off and then go to the company, what's the hurry?"

Xiao Xuan said: "I know too little about the company's business, so I should have intervened earlier." Xiao Gangyu said: "I think so too." ”

Xiao Mo finished eating, and he said, "Dad, Mom, you eat slowly, I'm going to work." ”

Xiao Xuan said, "Big brother, do you have another operation to do today?"

"Yes, two major surgeries. ”

Gao Yuan arrived at the company's office, he looked at the time on his phone, it was already 9:15 in the morning, he estimated that Xia Qing had already gotten off the plane, he called Xia Qing's mobile phone, got through, but she didn't answer.

Gao Yuan put down the phone, Liu Xiaolan suddenly opened the door and walked in, Gao Yuan looked at her nervously, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that we kept our distance these days?"

Liu Xiaolan's eyes are still a little red and swollen, and she didn't sleep well last night. She said: "I told you in WeChat that I am going to resign. ”

Gao Yuan looked at Liu Xiaolan, "Do you really want to resign?"

Liu Xiaolan stared at Gao Yuan with charming eyes, "Yes, I can't meet you anymore, it's unfair to Sister Qing, Sister Zhang Yue is right, you are so affectionate, I shouldn't destroy you." Liu Xiaolan put her resignation application on Gao Yuan's desk, "You sign it, and I will pay back the salary advanced to me by the company." ”

Gao Yuan glanced at the resignation application, and pondered. Liu Xiaolan stared at Gao Yuan nervously. Gao Yuan said: "That's it, I still have to discuss with Xu Zheng, Pan Fu and others, do you want to go to work today, and I will give you an answer before getting off work in the afternoon." ”

Liu Xiaolan thought for a while and said, "Okay." After speaking, she turned around and walked to the door, and was about to open the door to go out, when Gao Yuan suddenly stopped her. Liu Xiaolan turned around, "Is there anything else?"

Gao Yuan said: "If you leave here, you will have to find a new job, right?"

Liu Xiaolan's expression was melancholy, her eyes were sad and weak, "Yes, what if I don't look for a job?" I still have to live, I have to send money home every month, and I have to provide for my younger brothers and sisters to go to school, ...... she said, she suddenly choked up, and tears fell like beads.

Gao Yuan's sympathy protruded, and he sighed and said, "You go to other companies with a salary that is not as good as mine, I suggest you think about it seriously." ”

Liu Xiaolan wiped a handful of tears, forced a smile and said, "I know, thank you Mr. Gao." She opened the door and walked out.

Gao Yuan had mixed tastes and fell into deep thought.

Xia Qing got off the plane at 9:20, she walked in the arrival hall, pulling the suitcase in one hand and turning on the mobile phone in the other, and saw a missed call, it was Gao Yuan calling, she didn't call back. Walking out of the airport lobby, she flagged down a taxi at the door.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Gu Tong's house. Xia Qing's family lives in a dormitory building at the Gutong Forestry Bureau, where his father was deputy director before his retirement. Xia Qing's family is in room 502 on the fifth floor of Building 3 in this community, Xia Qing carried a suitcase and climbed to the fifth floor, exhausted and out of breath.

After ringing the doorbell, her mother Wang Yulan opened the door, Xia Qing called "Mom!" and walked into the house, Wang Yulan closed the door, "Qing'er, this journey is going well, right?"

Xia Qing sat down on the sofa, "It's okay." Mom, come and sit down, I'll take a look at you. ”

Wang Yulan is 60 years old this year, 1.57 meters tall, a little thin, her face and facial features are more standard, her face is kind, she was a big beauty when she was young, she combed her short hair, and her temples were gray. She was a middle school history teacher before she retired, and she was a typical intellectual, and although she had been retired for five years, the intellectual beauty in her body still existed.

Wang Yulan sat next to Xia Qing, and the two looked at each other. Wang Yulan said: "Xia Qing, you have lost weight and your face is not good, are you working too hard?"

Xia Qing remembered that her marriage had hit the rocks, and her heart couldn't help but sink, she said: "I've been very busy with work recently. Mom, you've lost weight too, is it because my dad is not in good health, and you're worrying too much?"

"Yes, your dad is not doing well, mom is a little worried!"

"Mom, where is my brother? Did you go to the hospital to take care of Dad?"

"He went, he took turns with me, he was busy with work, your sister-in-law is pregnant again, it's been nine months, next month is the due date, and you have to take care of your nephew. ”

"Mom, I only have two days off, I can only stay until noon tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon I will fly back to You'an, tonight I will go to the hospital to guard Dad. ”

"Okay, how are you and Gao Yuan?"

Speaking of Gao Yuan, Xia Qing's mood became gloomy, but he couldn't tell the truth to his mother, it would increase his mother's psychological burden, Xia Qing said: "We are the same. ”

Wang Yulan felt that something was wrong with Xia Qing, and immediately became sensitive, she looked at Xia Qing's eyes, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Xia Qing looked away, "It's just that they are all busy with work, and their feelings are indeed a little lighter than before." ”

"You should have a child, and the relationship is strong when you have a child. Xia Qing, you will be thirty-third at the end of the year, and you can't wait any longer. ”

"Mom, I don't want to have a baby yet, I'm busy with work, and I don't have the heart to think about these things. ”

"Silly child, it is necessary for a woman to have a child, when I was your age, your eldest brother would already run on the ground. ”

"Got it, Mom, let's stop talking about this topic, let's talk about Dad's illness, what's going on?"

Wang Yulan's eyes were red, "All of your father's examination reports came down yesterday, and it was an advanced stage of lung cancer." ”

Like five thunderbolts, Xia Qing was stunned, she looked at Wang Yulan sadly, tears flowed down from Wang Yulan's eyes, Xia Qing's eyes were red, she hugged Wang Yulan and cried.

The mother and daughter cried for a while, and Xia Qing let go of Wang Yulan, "Mom, how did my father get this disease? Could it be a misdiagnosis?"

"I was afraid of misdiagnosis, so I went to another big hospital in Gutong for examination, and the result was the same. ”

Xia Qing cried very sadly, "Dad just smokes too much, and he doesn't listen to any persuasion!"

"He has been coughing since the end of last year, at first he said that he smoked too much and had an itchy throat before coughing, and then it got worse and worse, and he also had chest pain, and I persuaded him to go to the hospital for a check-up in May this year, but he couldn't go to check it out, alas! ”

"Did the doctor say how to treat it?"

"The doctor said that he was too old and that the risk of surgery was too great, so he could only treat it conservatively. ”

"Is there a shortage of money? ”

"Money is not tight, he has medical insurance that can reimburse more than 80%, and we buy other self-financed drugs ourselves, and I want to buy imported drugs for him, and now I mainly have to do chemotherapy. ”

Xia Qing took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Wang Yulan, "Mom, there are 80,000 yuan in it, I specially prepared it for Dad's treatment, you can take it." Wang Yulan pushed back, "Your dad is a little, he doesn't need your money, you keep it for giving birth." ”

Xia Qing forced it into Wang Yulan's hand, "Mom, Dad's money is Dad's, mine's is mine, this is my heart, I have not been at home for many years to fulfill my filial piety, shouldn't I give some money? Wang Yulan burst into tears, "Okay, Mom will accept it first, and you need to spend it again." ”

At 9:35 a.m., Xiao Gangyu, Xiao Lin and Xiao Xuan arrived at Gangtai Group. They first passed through the public office area, which was the most crowded, and the employees were dazzled when they saw the returnee beauty Xiao Xuan, especially the male employees, who all stared at Xiao Xuan and forgot about their work.

Xiao Lin glared at them, and they hurriedly pretended to concentrate on their work, but they still looked at Xiao Xuan sneaky. Xiao Xuan's expression is gentle, neither humble nor arrogant, and his demeanor is elegant.

When Mei Chao came out of the finance department, he saw Xiao Gangyu and Xiao Xuan, his eyes focused on Xiao Xuan's body, and he couldn't help but blow a sharp and frivolous whistle, which attracted Xiao Xuan's attention, Xiao Xuan looked at Mei Chao, and when the two looked at each other, Xiao Xuan's heart fluttered, thinking: You'an can have such a handsome man, even more handsome than my eldest brother.

Mei Chao knew that he had successfully attracted Xiao Xuan's attention, and he was a little proud in his heart, so he nodded and smiled at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Lin glared at Mei Chao fiercely, and then said to Xiao Gangyu: "Chairman, I'll go to my office first." Xiao Gangyu said: "You go to work, I'll take Xuanxuan to various departments for a look." ”

Xiao Gangyu introduced to Xiao Xuan: "There are four departments in this office area, and there are the most people, because there are more connections between these departments, so it is beneficial for them to communicate and work together." Xiao Xuan nodded, "Chairman, I understand." ”
