Wang Qingshan has been in a good mood these days, Wang Youmu has news of his son, and his younger brother called him the day after the child was born, which made him very relieved, and he felt that he finally had an explanation for the deceased uncle, husband and wife and father.

What I didn't expect was that I was almost forty years old, and it was possible to re-enter the official career.

Some time ago, Vice Mayor Zhou had a deep talk with Wang Qingshan, hoping that he could let go of his disability and give full play to his talents, so that he could display his ambitions in the position where he was needed.

Although he did not say the specific position, the meaning of Deputy Mayor Zhou was obvious, that is, to let him go to SD Province together, although leaving the great northwest where he had been living made Wang Qingshan feel a little lost, but thinking that he could make a career, Wang Qingshan couldn't help but be excited.

Before leaving, Wang Qingshan was actually worried about his younger brother, but now that Wang Youmu has his own children, he heard that the work is also going well, which makes him feel a lot more at ease.

The day before yesterday, Liu Qishan called and said about Liu Yusheng's ransom of the jade lion, which made Wang Qingshan surprised when he heard it, it turned out that his younger brother and Liu Yusheng had such an incident, and he was secretly a little dissatisfied with Wang Youmu in his heart, he felt that his younger brother was unwilling to tell him many things now.

Liu Qishan said on the phone that he hoped that Wang Qingshan would persuade Wang Youmu not to make the relationship with Liu Yusheng so tense through this matter, and secretly told him that Liu Yusheng's father-in-law was the former secretary of the JN Municipal Party Committee of SD Province, and although he had been gone for many years, he still had a lot of influence.

Wang Qingshan understood that this was an old comrade-in-arms reminding himself that Liu Yusheng was a friend who needed to have a good relationship, if his younger brother and Liu Yusheng were like enemies, and he and Liu Yusheng could have a harmonious relationship, wouldn't it be a joke?

Wang Qingshan felt that he was going to Honggou Coal Mine, first, he had been busy, and his little nephew had not seen it yet, and he had to talk to Wang Youmu in person about the things that Liu Yusheng had asked him to do.

Last time, Wang Youmu called him and told him a phone number, saying that he was in his work area, and he could call and leave a message at any time, and someone would tell him, Wang Qingshan dialed the phone and told the person who answered the phone that Wang Youmu and his wife would go to Honggou Coal Mine tomorrow.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Wang Youmu took a shower and changed clothes as usual, hurried home, and when he passed by the gate of the mining department, he was stopped by Li Laifu

"Youmu, your brother called just now and said that he and your sister-in-law would come to your house tomorrow to see the baby. ”

Wang Youmu was also very happy when he heard that his brother was coming, and said with a smile

"District Chief Li, I want to take a day off tomorrow. ”

Li Laifu nodded and agreed, Wang Youmu returned home and told Xu Qiuli the news that his brother and sister-in-law were coming.

The next morning, the husband and wife began to get busy, Zhao Wenbin went to work, Cui Li also rushed over to help, and a table of dishes was ready at noon, waiting for the arrival of Wang Qingshan and his wife.

Wang Youmu stood at the gate of Honggou Mine early, he was going to greet his brother and sister-in-law here, at noon a green 212 jeep appeared in his field of vision, and stopped beside him after a while, his brother Wang Qingshan got out of the car, ran over and hugged Wang Youmu tightly.

Wang Qingshan walked into the small courtyard, looked at the house in the courtyard and said

"There is wood, the house is nice. ”

"yes, I've only been here for less than three months and you've given it to me. Wang Youmu replied

Wang Qingshan felt that something was wrong when he heard it, his younger brother was a new worker, and he was still a temporary worker, how could he have such a good treatment, he felt that he was thinking too much, maybe there were fewer people left in this place, so the coal mine was so generous in order to retain people.

When she entered the house, her sister-in-law Zhu Ling couldn't wait

"Qiuli, what about the child, take it out and let us see, we ran so far to see him, come out. ”

Xu Qiuli went into the back room and took the child out, sister-in-law Zhu Ling snatched it and hugged it in her arms, the little guy was sleeping, maybe he was not used to changing places, and then opened his big eyes and looked at Zhu Ling in front of him carefully, maybe he found that the person in front of him was not his mother, nor his father, and he cried when he looked at it.

Zhu Ling said to Wang Qingshan with a smile

"Qingshan, look at him and he's not happy, this little guy, his eyebrows are woody, and the rest of the work is off a Qiu Li, you look at this white-skinned, I don't know that I think it's a girl, I look so handsome, I have to recruit girls when I grow up." ”

Wang Qingshan also looked at his nephew, and felt that his younger brother's family was harmonious and happy, and he could go to SD with confidence.

The family sat down for a reunion dinner, and then Zhu Ling and Xu Qiuli went to the back room to continue watching the children, leaving only the two Wang Qingshan brothers.

Wang Youmu refilled his brother's cup with water, and then handed Wang Qingshan a cigarette to light it, Wang Qingshan looked at Wang Youmu and said

"Youmu, you've been here for a few days, do you need my help with work?"

Wang Youmu is very satisfied with his current life and work, he doesn't have any big ideals and ambitions, he just wants to turn positive as soon as possible, and then pay a higher salary, and return Liu Qishan's money as soon as possible, but he doesn't want to trouble Wang Qingshan and Wang Youmu about these things

"Big brother, I'm very good here, so is Qiu Li, I feel that this is more suitable for me than in the Mining Bureau, although I am very busy and tired every day, but I am steady, and the salary is also very high. ”

When his younger brother came to the coal mine, Wang Qingshan didn't worry about anything, what he was most afraid of was safety, he worked in the municipal party committee, and he still knew a lot about the safety of the mine, and he was not without worries

"Youmu, when you become a regular, find a way to change your job, the coal worker is too dangerous, you also have to think about the child and Qiuli. ”

Wang Youmu's heart was warm, it seemed that he had misunderstood his brother before, but his eldest brother had not changed, he said with a little excitement

"Big brother, don't worry, our head of the work area said that in a few months, I will become a regular, and I will be a safety officer. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qingshan was relieved, he walked over and opened his bag, and then took out a box from it and put it on the table.

Wang Youmu already knew what was inside as soon as he saw this box, and he was a little curious about how the jade lion was here with his brother, Wang Qingshan looked at him and said

"I think you should know what this is, in fact, this thing has always been with me, the day after you mortgaged it to Liu Qishan, he brought it to me, but he didn't let me tell you, saying that when you pay it back, I will give it to you." ”

"But big brother, now that you take it, I haven't returned his money to him?" Wang Youmu asked

"The money has been returned to him, not by me, at the beginning he said that he would not let me pay it back, it was Liu Yu who paid it back, saying that you saved his wife and unborn child, and he repaid the money for you to repay you for this kindness. ”

As soon as Wang Youmu heard Liu Yusheng's name, he would think of the wolves in Lop Nur and the eyes of those wolves, which was already a piece of his heart, and even more remembered the words that Xiao He said to him lying under the boulder, Wang Youmu said coldly

"Big brother, I don't want this, you take it back, please tell Brother Qishan to let him return the money to Liu Yusheng, and I will pay back his money slowly." ”

Wang Qingshan didn't expect that his younger brother had gone through so many things, and he was still so stubborn and unsophisticated, and said in a cold tone

"Youmu, can you not be so tough, people are also kind, and besides, people are repaying the kindness, maybe you will still be friends in the future." ”

Wang Qingshan didn't expect that his younger brother had gone through so many things, and he was still so stubborn and unsophisticated, and said in a cold tone

"Youmu, can you not be so tough, people are also kind, and besides, people are reciprocating, maybe you will still be friends in the future." ”

Wang Youmu said a little helplessly

"Big brother, do you remember what your grandfather said when you were a child, if a person has wolf nature, then this person is no longer a person. ”

"Do you understand that people are putting down their minds and making friends with you, you don't know how to lift, I'm going to SD soon, it's impossible to take care of you, and you also need your own friends. Wang Qingshan said

"Be friends with him, trust him, now buried in Lop Nur, I don't want to be friends with wolves. "The king has a wooden way

"Why are you still so dead-eyed, there's nothing wrong with being selfish in that environment. ”

"Big brother, it's right to be selfish, but it's not selfish to kill people, watching your own people being killed, leaving your comrades and running away, would you throw Liu Qishan back then?" Wang Youmu also said excitedly

"Can this be the same? Isn't Liu Yusheng taking the initiative to show favor to you, what do you still want?" Wang Qingshan also said excitedly

"Big brother, why don't you understand, I am reconciled with him now, how can I be worthy of those people he killed in Lop Nur. Wang Youmu replied without concessions

At this time, Zhu Ling rushed out of the back room and pointed to Wang Youmudao

"Wang Youmu, you are selfish, do you know that your eldest brother is going to SD to serve, and when the time comes, you will have to ask Liu for the rest of your life, you are like this now, have you considered your eldest brother? You are the most selfish. ”

"Yes, you have grown up and you have a wood, you don't need me to take care of you from now on, this is the first time I have set foot in your door, and it is also the last time, from now on we brothers have nothing to do with each other. After speaking, Wang Qingshan pulled Zhu Ling and left Wang Youmu's house.

Wang Youmu stood in the house in a daze, and suddenly he picked up the jade lion on the table and rushed out to the gate of the courtyard, not far away Wang Qingshan had already started the car and was about to leave.

Wang Youmu rushed over to stop his eldest brother, but Wang Qingshan saw his younger brother running over in the rearview mirror, and still drove away......
