The days back in the countryside are peaceful, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, you just walk around every day, waiting for a few meals a day.

The customs of the rural Spring Festival are very strong, the twenty-fourth to the thirtieth of the lunar month, which belongs to every family to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and the first month to entertain guests dishes, no one will go from house to house, at most to borrow some kitchen utensils and the like, entering the first month is different, there are many relatives at home, from the beginning of the first month, until the fifteenth day of the first month, the guests will not be disconnected.

Liao Fanmin, who returned to the countryside, felt more and more lonely in this calm atmosphere, and this loneliness was even more abrupt under the affection and care of his family.

Twenty-two-year-old Liao Fanmin, who has not graduated from college, but has a soul in his forties, this is his secret, his parents don't know, and it is this mismatch between age and soul that makes Liao Fanmin unable to find a true soulmate.

Since his rebirth, Liao Fanmin has wandered between the youth and the middle-aged class, and the wisdom he showed has impressed middle-aged people like Jia Yunmao, and the ability he showed made the young Jia Tianxing worship, but as Liao Fanmin himself, he has not been able to integrate into any group, just like a chivalrous man in the game world, always paying attention to everything around him with glasses, looking unusually detached, but in fact unusually lonely.

With a golden finger that is familiar with the future, Liao Fanmin has seized a lot of opportunities in just four years, made himself one of the rich, and changed the situation of his family and family, which is undoubtedly successful, but Liao Fanmin is not a god, and there will be major mistakes in many things.

Looking back carefully, Liao Fanmin left too many regrets in the handling of feelings.

The sweet first love between Xue Chuling and Xue Chuling, because of the sophistication and snobbery of Xue Chuling's mother Ma Guihua, was decisively given up by Liao Fanmin, and he didn't even fight for it, didn't think about changing Xue Chuling and Ma Guihua, and Cheng Yahui's sincere promise, but because of too much self-confidence, this relationship was caused by huge embarrassment, and now I don't know the final outcome of this relationship, and the integration of spirit and flesh with Qin Yuhua was left to Qin Yuhua because of selfishness and cowardice, and he didn't dare to make it public, leaving Qin Yuhua desperate, causing Qin Yuhua to make a lifelong decision not to marry。

If Liao Fanmin didn't have such a mature soul and still had the blood and passion of a young man, such a situation would not have happened at all.

Liao Fanmin has a smooth sail in the business field and has made enough money, but on the road of feelings, he has always stumbled.

This may be a providence.

January 23, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Sumptuous dishes are placed on the table, with liquor and drinks on the table.

After taking Liao Fanling and Liao Fansong to set off firecrackers, they returned to the hall, and the cup was already filled with liquor.

A glass with a print can hold four taels of wine, and a bottle of wine can pour less than three glasses.

Liao Tiangui, Liao Zexi, and Liao Fanmin drink liquor, and the rest are drinks.

Picking up the wine glass, Liao Fanmin first toasted his grandfather, grandmother, second aunt and aunt, as the eldest grandson of the family, Liao Fanmin must take the lead, but he can't get the New Year's money, including Liao Fanyao, because they all go to college.

Liao Fanling, Liao Fansong and Liao Fanwei once raised their cups to toast the elders, and they all got New Year's money.

Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao don't pay attention to the New Year's money, it doesn't matter if they have it or not, but Liao Fanling and the others are different, they cheered when they got the New Year's money, and carefully put the red package into their pockets.

The reunion dinner lasts for an hour, and the Spring Festival Gala begins.

Only Liao Tiangui, Liao Zexi and Liao Fanmin were left in the hall.

Liao Tiangui picked up his wine glass.

"Boss, Xiaomin, go to the party after drinking, once a year, don't miss it. ”

After drinking, the second aunt and the second aunt hurriedly came to clean up.

Liao Fanmin doesn't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala, he still chooses to go out and take a walk.

At night in the countryside, it was dark all around, and Liao Fanmin, who was holding a flashlight in his hand, did not plan to go far, and it was also a rare enjoyment to stay quietly for a while in this quiet night.

"Xiaomin, when I was drinking, I found that your interest was not high, what's wrong, are you not suitable for the countryside. ”

"Dad, no, I just feel too quiet, and my emotions are quiet. ”

"Xiaomin, did you think of Xiaohui's matter? ”

Liao Fanmin turned his head to look at Liao Zexi and nodded silently.

"Speaking of Xiaohui, she is a very good child, your mother and I are very optimistic, but it's a pity, why do you want to study in the United States, if there is no such thing, you are afraid that you will have to prepare for the wedding." ”

"Dad, even if Xiaohui doesn't go to the United States to study, we can't get married after graduation. ”

"Maybe, but the current situation is that you don't know if you have a future with Xiaohui. ”

Liao Fanmin nodded again and looked at Liao Zexi as he spoke.

"Dad, there's something I've always wanted to ask, but I don't know how to say. ”

"Whatever comes to your mind, just ask, don't have any ideas. ”

"Dad, the last time you went to Nanhua City, you said a paragraph, I didn't care about it at the time, and then I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, you warned me, some things, you can do your best, some things are really irreparable, you have to be willing to give up, I thought about it for a long time, these words seem to say that between Xiaohui and me, there may be a lot of problems. ”

Liao Zexi lit a cigarette, looked at Liao Fanmin, and let out a long sigh.

"Xiaomin, you are indeed mature, you can analyze everything I said, I know what you suspect, do you think I gave in to Mayor Chen, ask you to let out and quit, let Chen Wei and Xiaohui be together, I don't blame you for thinking like this, but you don't understand me, if Mayor Chen is coerced on such a thing, I would rather not be an official than give in. ”

"Dad, I didn't think so, I thought that you must have noticed something, and I was afraid that I couldn't bear it, so you didn't tell me. ”

"Xiaomin, I have experienced more things than you, a lot of things, I will carefully analyze, weigh the pros and cons, and then remind you, I don't want you to take a detour, especially on the emotional problem to suffer a blow, Mayor Chen, I have heard comments on him, consider the problem very carefully, go out and often be able to anticipate many steps behind, do any thing, as long as you make up your mind, you will definitely achieve your goal. ”

Liao Fanmin looked at Liao Zexi and suddenly understood something.

"Chen Wei went to the United States to study, I can conclude that it was Mayor Chen's decision, why did Mayor Chen make this decision, Mayor Chen has been promoted and reused in less than two years since he came to Fandu, and returned to Nanhua City as deputy mayor, it is said that he may also enter the Standing Committee, and he is so sure of doing things, will Mayor Chen let Chen Wei go to the United States to hit a wall. ”

"I remember you said that Mayor Chen's lover Tan Sufang went to the University of South China to find you, Mayor Chen must not know about this matter, Mayor Chen will never allow Section Chief Tan to do this, but I also believe that Mayor Chen later knew about this matter, since he knew, why did he let Chen Wei go to the United States to study. ”

"I heard a lot of rumors about Secretary Cheng, saying that Secretary Cheng has long attracted the attention of the upper echelons, and even the attention of the central leadership, at the beginning of these rumors, I didn't believe it at all, but with Secretary Cheng's step by step promotion, I had to pay attention to these rumors, just over three years, Secretary Cheng was promoted from the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to the secretary of the municipal party committee, Secretary Cheng is only forty-nine years old, who can say clearly about the future future. ”

"Since I can pay attention to this, shouldn't Mayor Chen pay attention? ”

"Thinking of these, and then thinking of the relationship between you and Xiaohui, I am very worried, Xiaomin, a lot of things, not so simple, sometimes we would rather think more complicated, be fully prepared, and don't be caught off guard and knocked down by a sudden blow. ”

Liao Fanmin's body trembled slightly, he really couldn't imagine such a deep relationship, some information was not available to him at this level.

"Therefore, Xiaomin, you have to be fully mentally prepared, where you should insist, you must insist on what you should give up, resolutely give up, indecisive and kill people. ”

"Dad, I see. ”

"It's good if you understand, once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, I didn't think I would become the mayor at the beginning, I always thought that I was an ordinary person, it was like this before, and it will be like this in the future, I live the life of an ordinary person, and you are actually the same. ”

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the sound of firecrackers sounded, which was a firecracker to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

The mobile phone rang, Shen Yaling, Qin Yuhua and Luo Yuanyuan called successively, Jia Tianxing, Liu Shijie, Liao Fugui, Shen Pengfei and Pang Shiyu also called, Yin Jian and Xu Xinrui sent messages to congratulate the New Year, Shen Zukang, Jia Yunmao, Zhou Xiaomei, Wang Ruotong, Yang Mingze and others also sent messages to congratulate the New Year, Xiang Jinjun, Chen Ping, and even Ren Li of the Legislative Affairs Office sent messages, Cheng Yijie's phone call was a little late, and he only shouted on the phone, saying that Liao Fanmin's phone was always busy.

Only Cheng Yahui didn't have any news.

The banquet was set up again in the hall, several children were watching TV with relish, not wanting to eat, Xu Wenqing and Liao Fanyao sat down for a while, moved their chopsticks and left, the second aunt and the second aunt wanted to greet the children, and they would not sit for long.

Liao Fanmin, who seemed to be calm, suddenly became active and raised his wine glass frequently.

In less than half an hour, Liao Fanmin drank three glasses of liquor.

Liao Fanmin clearly remembered that he carefully put down the empty wine glass, but he didn't know what happened later.

When his head rested on the pillow, Liao Fanmin faintly heard the voice of complaining, which seemed to be from his mother Xu Wenqing, and the other voice of explanation seemed to be from his father Liao Zexi.
