Chapter 11, why don't you meet when you are not married
11. Why don't you meet when you are not married
One
Mi Xiaoqin did not impress Zhang Jiayong.
Zhang Jiayong knew in his heart that Mi Xiaoqin had a request for himself, and he set up a "Hongmen Banquet". He won't be fooled, eating is eating, and eating is nothing great, and nothing else, don't think about it.
However, Zhang Jiayong still felt a little pity in his heart.
He used to be a person, he was once lonely, and he was helpless, Zhang Jiayong knew the taste of loneliness, and he also experienced the pain of living alone.
Zhang Jiayong couldn't see the woman's tears.
Zhang Jiayong took a napkin and gently wiped away Mi Xiaoqin's tears.
Mi Xiaoqin cried even more fiercely, howling, in the past few years, all kinds of hardships, all kinds of pain, all kinds of grievances, all broke out at this moment.
Zhang Jiayong looked at Mi Xiaoqin, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and sighed: "Alas, it's really not easy for you." ”
Mi Xiaoqin suddenly stopped crying, and looked at Zhang Jiayong stupidly: "Brother, can I call you brother?"
Zhang Jiayong: "Of course you can, I am willing to be your brother." ”
Mi Xiaoqin burst into tears and laughed: "Great, I will have a brother in the future, you are my own brother." ”
Zhang Jiayong said: "Since you are my brother, then you should listen to my brother." ”
Mi Xiaoqin: "I am willing to listen to my brother's teachings." ”
Zhang Jiayong: "Don't invite me to dinner in the future, and don't think about sending money and things anymore, business, you must take care of it, and there is no way to take care of it when you can't take care of it." ”
Mi Xiaoqin looked at Zhang Jiayong fixedly: "Then you helped me so much, how can I thank you, brother?"
Zhang Jiayong: "This is what my brother should do." ”
Mi Xiaoqin suddenly felt mixed feelings: Why is this good man so shaft?
Mi Xiaoqin was speechless.
After staying for a while, Mi Xiaoqin suddenly grabbed Zhang Jiayong's hand and looked at him with affection.
Zhang Jiayong was a little dizzy, he pulled out his hand: "I'm your brother." ”
Mi Xiaoqin: "You are my own brother." My brother, my brother. ”
As he spoke, he came up again.
Looking at Mi Xiaoqin, Zhang Jiayong was a little embarrassed: Mi Xiaoqin was a bitter woman, and he didn't want to hurt her too much.
However, if the heart is too soft, then it will not work, not to mention that there is no room for business, and I am sorry for my wife: I have just married Huibei, and I can't hurt her.
Thinking of his wife and Huiru, Zhang Jiayong knew that he couldn't sit down anymore.
Zhang Jiayong: "It's time for me to go." ”
Mi Xiaoqin hugged him: "I don't want you to go!"
Zhang Jiayong: "I have a family, a wife, and children. ”
Mi Xiaoqin: "I don't care about this, I won't destroy your family, I just need you to accompany me, it's fine." ”
Zhang Jiayong: "We are good brothers and sisters, and we should be simple." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, pushed Mi Xiaoqin away, opened the door and left.
Mi Xiaoqin didn't hold it, looked at Zhang Jiayong's back as he walked out, motionless, collapsed on the sofa, and cried lowly, this time, he really cried.

After Lan Xiaohua and Zhang Jiayong met for the first time, they had a very good impression of him.
Lan Xiaohua believes that finding a good man is no less than investing in the stock market, and even more difficult than investing: invest, lose, and have a chance to earn back.
Marriage failure, the loss is not only feelings, but also energy, more youth, youth is gone, it is gone, it is gone, there are decades of life, good days are just a few years, very soon, can not be wasted.
If you like it, you must seize it, in today's society, people are very impetuous and impatient. Life is like this, and so is finding a partner.
Now, there are not many good men who live a down-to-earth life, and even fewer good men who have no vices, like Zhang Jiayong, who have a stable job, a fixed income, do not smoke, drink, play mahjong, and are a little talented.
I heard people say that now, as soon as a good man appears, there are many women who are trying their best to rush up, married, not afraid, have children? are not afraid, it is not uncommon for little girls to find uncles, look at people, that twenty-eight-year-old beauty, found an eighty-two-year-old successful old man, isn't it still enjoyable?
How can I catch the man Zhang Jiayong?
Zhang Jiayong said that his wife died in a car accident three years ago, and it has been three years, so he doesn't want women at all?
Lan Xiaohua looked in the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, well, it's still pretty good.
Lan Xiaohua thought so, and laughed to herself: The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, why are you thinking cranky, are you ashamed?
Lan Xiaohua thought of this, and felt a little fever on her face.
Unconsciously, another week has passed, and the summer vacation is about to pass, and Lan Xiaohua sent another invitation to Zhang Jiayong.
Zhang Jiayong and the director of the office proposed that they go to the provincial capital on Friday and run errands on Monday.
Chief of Staff: "Motion sickness again?"
Over the weekend, Zhang Jiayong dressed up and brought a philatelic album with him.
Lan Xiaohua received Zhang Jiayong at home.
Lan Xiaohua liked the stamp album given to her by Zhang Jiayong very much, and her face was slightly red: "Look at you, it's good to come, and you brought a gift!"
Zhang Jiayong: "It's worthless, you are a cultural person, I don't know what to bring to you, leave a souvenir, in case we don't do it in the future, when you see the philatelic album, you will think of me." ”
Lan Xiaohua: "Look at you, what did you say!"
With Lan Xiaohua, Zhang Jiayong felt that there were endless words, and he used to be with his wife Huibei, and he couldn't finish talking, but later, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar diluted Qingqing and me. There is less time to chat, more time to get angry, and although there is no big fuss, small unpleasantness still happens from time to time. Often, Zhang Jiayong was talking to Huibei about something new, and Huibei suddenly yelled: "There is no soy sauce at home!"
After eating, Lan Xiaohua picked up the stamp album and looked at it seriously, Zhang Jiayong pointed to the stamps in the stamp album and carefully told Lan Xiaohua.
As soon as he talked about stamps, Zhang Jiayong's topic suddenly increased.
Zhang Jiayong said that he liked stamps since he was a child, when he was a child, he was catching up with the "**", although his father was a senior cadre, but he did not get any light at all, "**" ten years, his father squatted in the "cowshed" for ten years.
My mother is also an old revolutionary, and during the Anti-Japanese War, she participated in the revolution: "Children's League", "Youth Resistance Pioneer", and "Women's Rescue Association". In 1947, when my mother was only 15 years old, she honorably joined the Communist Party of China and became a local government cadre in the liberated areas. At that time, people's minds were very simple, that is, revolution, revolution!
After the liberation of the country, my mother responded to the party's call and returned to her hometown of Shandong to participate in land reform and establish cooperatives.
Later, he met his father, fell in love, and got married. Then, he became a family member of the army.
The father was in the army, and after reaching the regimental level, the mother didn't have to do anything at home, all of them were orderlies and guards, including cooking and taking care of the children.
Later, my father transferred to the local area, supported the Great Northwest, and came to the mine.
Soon, "**", the storm broke out, the father was knocked down, and the family had no source of livelihood.
Three
Everything starts from scratch.
Without any source of livelihood, the father did not know what to do, and the mother was alone with four children.
What should I do? My mother went to the railway construction site, carried the rails, and smashed stones, but there was nothing to be surprised about, and most of the people on the construction site were "black five." ”
The school is no longer in session, and the principal and teachers are all knocked down: "Suspend classes and make a revolution." ”
My mother tied her little brother to her back and worked on the railroad site.
Zhang Jiayong was only nine years old that year, and he took his seven-year-old eldest brother and sister out to pick up rags, and sometimes, when he was hungry, he also went out to beg for food.
In those days, it was not easy to pick up the rags, there were too many people who picked up the rags, and there were many people who asked for food, and they really wanted to eat, just give a moldy dry steamed bun, unlike now, the one who asked for rice came, not to mention the dry steamed buns, the new steamed buns were not wanted, as long as the money was given, it was not okay to give less, and if it was less, I glanced at you: "Stingy ghost!".
At that time, unlike now, when you could pick up a lot of cardboard boxes, at that time, there were no cardboard boxes.
The most picked up are bones, and occasionally a thin wire can be seen, which is a pleasure, or a few old pieces of waste paper.
Once, I picked up a couple of envelopes with stamps on them, which were nice to see, and it was a couple of children playing table tennis.
Zhang Jiayong returned home, cut out the stamps on the envelope, carefully placed them in a basin of water, and soaked them.
This children's stamp became the first stamp in Zhang Jiayong's collection.
Later, the "Ten Years of Turmoil" ended, and there was no need to go out to pick up rags, and there was no need to go out to ask for food.
However, from then on, collecting stamps became the only pleasure in Zhang Jiayong's hard days, and stamp collecting has accompanied him all his life until now.
Four
Zhang Jiayong told Lan Xiaohua that stamp collecting is actually an elegant activity, not only to make a fortune, but also to have a greater meaning in it.
Zhang Jiayong said that stamps are the business card of the country, and every country in the world prints the best and most representative content of its own country on the stamps and sends them to all parts of the world by mail. There is a lot of knowledge on the stamps, small stamps, containing the whole world.
Zhang Jiayong said that since 1840, when Britain issued the "Penny Black" stamp, postal departments in various countries and regions around the world have issued countless stamps, which are as vast as smoke.
China's earliest, in 1878, issued the "Great Dragon" stamps, but also China's first set of stamps, after the Xinhai Revolution, the Republic of China government also began to issue stamps. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the liberated areas under the Communist Party of China also issued many stamps under difficult conditions.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the construction of New China as the theme, many novel and good-looking stamps were issued, among which "peony", "chrysanthemum", "Yellow Mountain", etc., have become the stamps that the majority of philatelic enthusiasts love very much.
Zhang Jiayong also said that all countries in the world have issued so many stamps, and it is completely impossible to collect them all, so the philatelic activities are becoming more and more professional today, and the distribution is becoming more and more detailed.
Lan Xiaohua was fascinated when she heard it, she didn't expect that there were so many stories about the small stamps.
Lan Xiaohua held her cheeks with both hands and looked at Zhang Jiayong: "How should I collect stamps?"
