Zhang Cunshun is a lot older, but at the age of fifty-three, he already has gray hair and a faltering look, which is not as good as Li Ergen, who is nearly ten years older than him.

After Qinglongping's secret maneuvers and activities, Zhang Cunshun quickly landed safely, but was expelled from the party.

Zhang Cunshun was grateful to Qin Ruhai and secretly apologized, and the two reconciled again.

After this incident, Zhang Cunshun felt shameless in the face of his father and fellow villagers, and despite the obstruction of Qin Ruhai and others, he forcibly sold the real estate and bought an affordable house with an area of less than 50 square meters in the suburbs of Changping City and settled down.

Qin Ruhai paid out of his own pocket to buy the furniture and household appliances needed for the new house, and also left a bank card with 100,000 yuan.

The turmoil subsided, Qin Ruhai returned to his normal work and life, and gradually devoted his energy to the work of the town government, entrusting the affairs of Xinglin Construction and Kangxin Tea Garden to Xu Qing and Wang Ergou and others to take care of, and only when there were major and urgent matters would he come forward to coordinate and solve them.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yaxin and Li Xiaoli have reached the graduation season.

In order to escape the cynicism of the villagers and relatives and friends, Zhang Yaxin took the postgraduate examination without Qin Ruhai. And Li Xiaoli returned to her hometown to take the employment exam.

On the night Zhang Yaxin came back, Qin Ruhai followed Chang Ping's residence.

"Uncle, aunt, I discussed something with you, and I plan to let Yaxin go to Xinglin Construction, and I have already reserved the position of the treasurer for her, so that Liu Ping and Chen Fang can go to Kang Xin to help with peace of mind. ”

Zhang Cunshun and Zhou Fang are now obedient to his words and deeds, and immediately said "good".

But Zhang Yaxin said: "Dad, Mom, Brother Hai, I want to go to graduate school, and then come out to work after graduating from graduate school, maybe it will be more professional, but I don't understand anything now." ”

Qin Ruhai was immediately choked by her and couldn't speak, but she still couldn't help but get angry.

Zhang Cunshun understood Qin Ruhai's expression, and began to reprimand sharply, "Yaxin, Haiwa has already reserved a place for you, and besides, what are you doing to learn so many things, just use it, don't mention anything about the postgraduate entrance examination, and obediently go to work in Xinglin Company." ”

Zhou Fang also blamed and stopped, "Yaxin, what do you think, Haiwa has been waiting for you for four years, and as soon as you come back, you say such hurtful things, what do you want to do? Okay, listen to your father's words, you are not allowed to go to graduate school again, and you don't have to take the employment exam, and you can go to work in the company in a down-to-earth manner, which can be regarded as helping Haiwa and them." ”

Zhang Yaxin insisted: "I have studied theory in the past four years of college, I want to improve myself through three years of graduate study, and then come back to work, I am professional and proficient in all aspects, now let me pass, I will only help more and more, you always want me to learn and improve, but now why do you suddenly oppose it?"

Zhang Cunshun saw her talking back and was about to fight, but was stopped by Qin Ruhai: "Uncle, don't be angry first, it is rare for Yaxin to have such an idea, although the company has just been on the track, and it is not mature and on track in all aspects, but one day it will go to the city and compete with other large companies in the same industry, if Yaxin can really learn the ability, it will also be of great help to the company's future development." I support her in going to graduate school, and I hope you don't force her to do things she doesn't like. ”

"Haiwa, how can this work? You have been waiting for her for more than four years, and you have already decided on a family affair, and many people are looking forward to drinking your wedding wine, but you will have to wait for three years!"

"Yes, Haiwa, we don't agree with this, the company is the time to employ people, Ping Yatou and Fang Yatou are both secondary school cultures, but they can do it properly, I don't believe Yaxin She can't do it, this is clearly evading. Yaxin, don't say it anymore, if it weren't for Haiwa, your father would have been in prison long ago, and I don't know if he is alive or not, you can't be so selfish and obedient, and we will choose a day for you to marry in a few days. ”

"Dad, Mom, don't force me anymore, the results have been announced, I was finally admitted to the graduate school of the national key universities, it is the public-funded kind, I and Brother Ruhai set a family affair, and you can come back to get married after graduating from graduate school, and then what you say is what, Xinglin company can not always stay under the extensive management of the family, I specially chose the financial management major this time, I want to maximize the problem for Brother Ruhai, now Kangxin is the same situation, or the original cooperative management model, the scale is a little smaller, but if you want to become bigger and stronger, you have to hire specialized management talents, I majored in economic and trade management during college, the minor is financial management, and only by further studying through graduate school can I solve problems for Ruhaige. I'm not running away from anything, I really want to learn my skills and come back to help Ruhai Ge develop the company's career. ”

"Don't say it, it's clearly escaping reality, and you are perfunctory with so many high-sounding reasons. Haiwa, don't be angry first, we will do her work, and we must not let her toss around by her temperament. What kind of family cooperative, managed by Xu Qing and them, there is no problem at all, and the sales performance has doubled month by month, plus Haiwa's connections, there is no shortage of projects and customers, if you have to hire any professional management talents, it is not something you think about worrying about, since you have graduated and gone home, you should fulfill your previous promise, obediently and obediently and Haiwa married as scheduled, so that we can also hold our grandson as soon as possible, Haiwa has been waiting for you for so long, can you bear to let him wait for another three years? And how long can your mother and I live? Don't say it again, even if you pass the exam, you are not allowed to go, and we will hold a wedding on the day when we and your aunt and uncle choose a date, so as to stop the mouths of the people in the village. ”

Zhang Yaxin saw that the plan was in vain, and she cried angrily.

Qin Ruhai agreed, but thought the same as Zhang Cunshun, and said: "Uncle, aunt, don't force her anymore, I can wait, three years will pass soon, and it will not be too late for us to talk about marriage when she returns from school." ”

"Haiwa, don't be so compromised, we have an agreement before, saying that Yaxin will have a wedding after graduation, and she can't toss around indiscriminately for this reason. Even if you agree, your godfather and godmother will have an opinion, what face do I have to see them again? No, you don't say any more, if she still wants to insist, unless she doesn't want to enter this house. Your aunt and I are half-buried people, and your godfather and godmother are also over sixty years old, and they have released words before, and your affairs will be delayed for three years, in my opinion, this is a superfluous move, Ping Yatou and Fang Yatou can do good things, Yaxin can also do well, and Xu Qing will guide from the side, and if it doesn't work, she will spend money to hire management talents, and it is not her turn to learn what skills for the company, it is clear that she is running away from marriage, which I will never agree with. ”

"Yaxin, you just listen to our advice and don't go to any graduate classes. Didn't you promise to get married as soon as you graduated? Why did you suddenly have to postpone it again? We all know Haiwa's thoughts, don't you run away and retreat, just say what you have and what you think, don't break everyone's heart because of this!"

Qin Ruhai saw that Zhang Cunshun and Zhou Fang were resolute, and he didn't dare to say any more, but he secretly doubted Zhang Yaxin's true purpose in doing this.

Zhang Yaxin saw that she couldn't persuade her parents, so she pulled Qin Ruhai out and said, "Brother Ruhai, you can help me persuade me! I finally got in, for the future development of the company, you can persuade them to agree to me to go to graduate school! Three years will pass soon, and the company's development will also reach a bottleneck at that time, so I must do something for your career." ”

Qin Ruhai hesitated for a while and said: "Yaxin, in fact, I don't agree with you going to graduate school, on the one hand, I don't have such lofty ambitions, I just want to do the things in front of me well, on the other hand, my godfather and godmother and aunt are old, I don't want them to wait for the day we get married, of course, if you insist on doing this, I won't say anything, and I will wait for you to graduate." ”

Hearing Qin Ruhai's clear attitude, Zhang Yaxin suddenly had nothing to say and fell into silence.

Zhang Cunshun saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he said to Qin Ruhai: "Haiwa, it's not early, you see that you can't live here, you can go back with confidence, tomorrow we will come to the village and find your godfather and godmother to settle this matter as soon as possible, there is no need to delay it any longer." ”

Zhou Fang also blushed and said, "Hehe, yes, there are only two rooms here, so we won't keep you, but don't worry, we will persuade Yaxin to be obedient." ”

Zhang Yaxin still didn't speak.

Qin Ruhai sat on pins and needles, hurriedly said goodbye and left their house.

After Qin Ruhai left, Zhang Cunshun and Zhou Fang began to persuade patiently again.

"Silly girl, what are you waiting for, how many chances can a person like him meet, have you ever wondered if he will wait for you in three years, and what will be the situation at that time, these are full of unknowns, you keep saying that you want to go to graduate school, but aren't you afraid that he will change his mind and regret getting married?" Zhou Fang persuaded bitterly.

"Girl, Dad has never begged you for anything, and he has always been against this before, but now the situation is different, if it wasn't for Haiwa, I would have entered the class room a long time ago, how can you still have the opportunity to take the exam? Besides, he is now the deputy mayor of the Yulin Town Party Committee, with Secretary Qing and Secretary Zhang on it, it can be said that the future is bright, and he secretly controls a number of enterprises, how can you still need your ability to study and study? I can also see that you must have something in your heart, have you heard something, say it and we will help you enlighten and enlighten. Zhang Cunshun was tentative.

Zhang Yaxin hesitated for a while before crying and said: "Dad, Mom, so many things have happened recently, I want to go out and hide, I really can't face them, I can't stand the sarcasm and sarcasm of the people in the village, and I can't stand such a big gap, even if I am reluctant to get married now, I'm afraid that someone will talk behind my back, I want to find a decent job through my own efforts, and I don't want to accept his arrangement to enter the company." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cunshun said with tears in his eyes: "Girl, Ah Fang, I have burdened you, so that you can't go back to your home, and you can't stand in the village, now you have such thoughts, it's all my fault!"

Zhou Fang couldn't help crying and persuaded him: "Cunshun, don't be like this, everything is over, everything will be fine, in the future, we will live a down-to-earth life, even if we eat bran vegetables, we will be at ease, don't say it, what's the use of saying this!"

The family of three all cried, unable to accept the huge gap during this time.
