The sleet, the roads were icy, slippery and difficult to walk, and the gusts of wind made people shiver.

Tao Xueming stood on the street, with a shovel in his hand, leading the staff and security guards of the store to clean the ice on the street.

As the boss, he also took the lead in the work, and the employees under him were motivated, and when they were done, everyone was giving out an apple to eat, and the employees not only did not complain, but also were very happy.

Even if he is a big boss, he has to have a good relationship with the employees below, otherwise, his store will not last long.

Many bosses don't understand this truth.

"Mr. Tao, I made an appointment with Sun Lebang to eat together today, are you still going?"

Manager Liu walked over and asked.

"Go, then I'll leave it to you, just let them dispose of this piece of ice. ”

Tao Xueming took off his gloves, the hot air on his palms was steaming, and he worked for a while, and his whole body was hot.

Back in the store, Tao Xueming changed into a coat, put on earmuff gloves, and turned around.

In about twenty minutes, I came to a small restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Lebang happened to come over.

It's not the first time the two have met, and there's nothing strange about seeing each other again.

Tao Xueming ordered a bottle of soju, asked for a plate of pig's head meat, and peanuts.

"You want to talk to me?" Sun Lebang said indifferently.

"Hmm. Tao Xueming laughed and said: "It's been so long, you can't find people, and a lot of manpower and financial resources have been wasted." ”

"Even if you have a background, if you continue to toss like this, there will always be some people who will complain, right?"

Sun Lebang said in a deep voice: "Then what are you going to do first, if you don't hand over the people, I won't give up!"

"Perhaps, we have another way to save it. Tao Xueming glanced at the watch on the wall, people should be coming soon.

At this time, the curtain outside the door came first, and Yao Liangce came.

"It's all here, I'm still late. ”

"Comrade Sun, we met last time......"

Sun Lebang snorted and didn't get up to shake hands with him, Yao Liangce smiled and sat next to Tao Xueming.

"Drink, full. ”

Tao Xueming poured Yao Liangce a full wine glass, and the two picked up the glasses and touched one.

After a glass of wine, after eating a few peanuts, Tao Xueming had a smile on his face: "Uncle Yao, it's the end of the year, busy?"

"Busy. Yao Liangce let out a breath and said, "Recently, many laid-off workers have come to me to intercede, saying that they would arrange a job or something, and they have slept in the office for several days and have not gone home. ”

Tao Xueming said: "I don't have a new store to open here, so I can't help for the time being, but which of the public toilets I mentioned last time can solve the employment problem of some people." ”

"Well, we're working on this in one fell swoop, and we should be able to start it in a year. ”

After the two discussed, Sun Lebang next to him looked a little unpleasant, and he drank a glass of wine by himself.

"Uncle Sun, I'll get down to business. ”

Tao Xueming didn't intend to hide anything from the other party, today, he came to explain the situation clearly.

"I want you to let go of Xiang Yuhang, and you will open it. Tao Xueming said.

"My only son is dead, why should I let him go. Sun Lebang said with a cold face.

Tao Xueming said: "Your son's death was an accident, and you don't know, isn't the cause of death the two stabs my brother stabbed?"

"What do you mean!"

"Uncle Yao, did you bring the hospital information?"

"Brought it. ”

Yao Liangce took out the information in his bag and handed it to Sun Lebang.

Sun Lebang took the information and took a closer look, and after reading it, his face was shocked.

"The real cause of death was excessive blood loss and being taken to the hospital too late. ”

Tao Xueming said with a smile: "The billiard hall to the hospital is only five minutes away, but your son is almost half an hour late." ”

"The cause of death was a sharp weapon piercing the abdomen, bleeding from excessive bleeding and shock. ”

"At that time, your son's brothers had to have five or six people to carry them, and they could carry them on their backs in a maximum of ten minutes. ”

"Why is it half an hour late to get people to the hospital, have you ever thought about this question?"

Sun Lebang's face became ugly little by little, and the doctor only told him that it was caused by trauma, and did not mention anything else.

But looking at the information now, it seems that it was because it was sent to the hospital too late?

"My friend's two stab wounds were not critical, and they could have been cured by going to the hospital. ”

Tao Xueming said calmly: "I thought about a few questions myself, first, maybe they didn't mean it, they were all stupid at the time, and they didn't know how to send them to the hospital." ”

"Second, that is, some people are deliberately delaying time, your Sun family is also a big family, and the death of your son will be a heavy blow to your Sun family, so that some people can get benefits. ”

"Shut up!"

Sun Lebang was angry, he stood up and said angrily: "I will find out this matter, you don't have to guess by yourself." ”

"This meal, just like I haven't eaten. With that, he turned away angrily.

Seeing Sun Lebang leaving, Yao Liangce asked in a deep voice, "Do you think he will believe what you say?"

"Yes. Tao Xueming said calmly: "I have checked him, Sun Lebang is a person who can do things, and he can get to this position today not because of his brainlessness and impulsiveness." ”

"He knows that it doesn't do me any good to have a vendetta against me, and if someone really makes a fuss about my son's death, it doesn't have much to do with us. ”

"Xiang Yuhang is at most a crime of negligence and injury, pay some money, and the relationship will be fine. ”

Yao Liangce nodded slightly, hoping that this was the case.

More than an hour later, the two finished eating, separated, and Tao Xueming returned to the store.

As soon as he came back, Manager Liu came in with a charged BP machine and had news of him.

Tao Xueming opened it and took a look, it was sent to Yuhang.

"I'm getting married, I can't come. ”

Seeing this message, Tao Xueming was stunned for a long time, thinking that he had read it wrong.

This kid went out and ran for his life, and then he was going to get married?

Is this running for your life, or flirting with your sister.

"Mr. Tao, what did you say?"

Manager Liu asked.

"See for yourself. Tao Xueming smiled.

Manager Liu took a look at it herself, and she also smiled after reading it: "It's okay to always Xiang, I have found the person I love again." ”

"Well, that's good. Tao Xueming smiled, after going out for so long, he could still find what he liked.

Proof has come out of the pain.

"Do you think I should go?"

Tao Xueming asked.

Manager Liu pondered for a while and said, "I don't recommend you to go, now Sun Lebang is still checking on you, and there are people staring outside, if you leave, you will definitely be exposed to the general position." ”

"Hmm......" Tao Xueming nodded slightly, maybe he really couldn't go over.

……

On this sunny day, preparations for Xiang Yuhang's wedding began.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare in the countryside, just the big guys sit together and have a meal, and it is good to be lively.

Xiang Yuhang went to town and bought sweet potatoes, corn, and some meat.

These things are rare in the village, especially meat, which can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Xiang Yuhang bought hundreds of catties of meat and put one or two catties of meat on each table to eat, it can be said that he is the most generous in the village since he got married for so many years.

In the afternoon, the villagers have packed up the dishes and chopsticks, sat in the yard and chatted, today there is about 20 degrees here, it can't help but be hot, they all sit together and eat melon seeds.

Xiang Yuhang entered the house with a bowl of beef, and when Xiuxiu saw him, she immediately turned her back with a red face.

"Eat something, you haven't eaten in a day. ”

Xiang Yuhang put down the dishes and chopsticks, Xiuxiu was hesitant, not daring to look at him.

"I went out to talk. Xiang Yuhang turned around and walked out, and the little brother ran over with cheers and pulled him to play outside the yard.

At night, the lights in the courtyard were on, and several young people played cards with Xiang Yuhang, and after staying up until the early hours of the morning, it began.

Although he is not the son-in-law here, because the process is simple, there is no need to do too many complicated things.

first went to the ancestral hall in the village to worship the ancestors, and then under the witness of the chief housekeeper and matchmaker, Xiang Yuhang walked around the village and gave candy to children from door to door.

At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, when they returned to Xiuxiu's house, the big housekeeper took a loudspeaker and began to give the two of them a marriage ceremony and read the oath.

Xiang Yuhang glanced at the door, the wedding was about to start, but the person he wanted to see didn't come.

sighed in my heart, at such an important moment, there was no relatives or friends around, and I felt extremely lonely and uncomfortable in my heart.

At this time, several children, holding flower petals, sprinkled on the heads of both of them, meaning to bless them.

After reading the marriage vows, Xiang Yuhang took out a necklace from his pocket.

This necklace was bought by him in the county, and it was not expensive, only two hundred yuan, gold.

Although it is only two hundred yuan, this thing is already sky-high in the countryside.

Seeing him take out the gold necklace, the people in the courtyard were surprised, and Xiuxiu was also incredulous.

Putting on the necklace, the two of them poured some red dates and peanuts at their feet, and then began to kneel and worship their parents.

Xiang Yuhang has no parents, he only needs to bow down to Xiuxiu's father.

"Dad, drink tea. ”

handed the tea to Yuhang, and the old father was moved to tears and cried excitedly.

After the old father took the tea, he kowtowed to Yuhang and Xiuxiu together.

After kowtowing for the third time, Xiang Yuhang stood up and bowed to all the relatives behind him.

Bowing, in about fifteen seconds, many relatives threw some money into the box, a few cents, a few yuan, the largest no more than ten yuan.

It's all money.

Suddenly, a red man's head appeared inside the box.

Xiang Yuhang was surprised, subconsciously raised his head, and a smiling face appeared in front of him.

"Happy newlyweds, congratulations. ”

"Tao, Brother Taozi ......"

When Xiang Yuhang saw the comer, he burst into tears and hugged him excitedly.

"Brother Tao Zi, why are you here. Xiang Yuhang's voice was trembling, as if he was dreaming, and he couldn't believe that it was a real person.

"You get married, can I not come. ”

Tao Xueming had tears in his eyes and patted the other party's shoulder hard.
