Chapter 367: The Years Are Quiet
The mountains are verdant and the winter is warm. Ad-free site.
Liu Shasha, who was out of confinement, hugged her sleeping son, stood on the stilted building with yellow walls and black tiles, and looked at the father and daughter who were shooting and grabbing the ball in the sun-grain flat downstairs, and suddenly remembered the past a long time ago. It's fast, it's twenty years in the blink of an eye. The black boy who used to play with pig urine bubbles actually became his husband, and also became a professor and dean.
Just when Liu Shasha was in a trance, the third sister who came to see the child saw the smile on her face and quipped: "Jealous? ”
"Time flies, and the years are quiet."
The newly divorced third sister was stunned, and Liu Shasha, who came back to her senses, smiled, but the second sister who came with the third sister didn't know what she was talking about, and asked curiously: "Sasha, what do you mean?" ”
"Nothing".
"You people who read are just not good, and you talk about things like reciting poems, which makes people not understand."
"It's really nothing".
Nothing is nothing, and the second sister, who is much richer, doesn't want to understand this, so she stared at her younger sister and drank a big bowl of chicken soup and went downstairs with the rest to give to Li Jiaming's father and daughter, who were having a good time.
Somehow, Xinxin likes to eat chicken like Wanwan, and he still belongs to the kind that never gets tired of eating. Xinxin, who was sweating profusely, washed her dirty little hands after washing the dirty little hands of Xinxin, who was sweating profusely, and showed off the idiom she had just learned in a milky voice.
"Dad, this is called cold leftovers!"
Li Jiaming, who was sitting by the door and barely eating chicken, was very happy, and shouted upstairs: "Sasha, Xinxin said that this is a cold leftover, what do you think?" ”
"Born in blessings, you don't know blessings!"
"Xinxin, my mother said that you were born in the blessing and don't know the blessing."
After gnawing on the chicken legs, Xinxin didn't understand, and said curiously: "Dad, what does it mean to be born in the blessing and not know the blessing?" ”
"It means that you have not suffered".
"Is it like a medicine?"
This child, Li Jiaming touched her little head dotingly, and asked her to ask her aunt later.
"Oh"
After eating most of the chicken soup, the two father and daughter helped the second sister wash the casserole and chopsticks, and the impatient Xinxin Leg caught up with her mother and aunt, and followed them to the second mother-in-law's house to wait for food.
The houses in the countryside are sparse, and most of the houses are separated by farmland and vegetable fields, and the paths between the houses are mostly field roads. The Li family in Huangniping is rich, but the houses are still scattered at the foot of the mountain, but the former field roads have become bluestone slabs.
Li Jiaming, who was half-full, carried the clay pot and walked on the bluestone road behind the second sister, leisurely.
"Jiaming, what does it mean that the years are quiet?"
"Huh?"
"I ask you, what does it mean to be quiet and peaceful? Just now your wife said, 'Time flies, the years are quiet', and the third sister didn't seem to be very happy after listening to it. ”
"Oh", Li Jiaming thought about it and said uncertainly: "It seems that Hu Chenglan and Zhang Ailing said it when they got married, the first two sentences seem to talk about their marriage, and the back seems to be 'The years are quiet, and the present world is stable'." It means that peace and tranquility are good, and stability and health are better. ”
'Alas'.
The second sister's sigh, but Li Jiaming was not comforted. Being in a foreign country, the hardest thing is loneliness, how can love under loneliness withstand the mutual run-in of huge cultural differences?
"Jiaming, the third sister used to be in the school, did she have a boyfriend?"
It seems that no, when the two sisters and brothers were in Peking University in the past, they were both diligent and good students, and the third sister with ordinary talent was even more than three watches and five watches. But when he walked to the hall of the second uncle's house, Li Jiaming suddenly remembered Daniel Zhang, who had chased the third sister before, and it seemed that he had been chasing for three years until he graduated and went abroad.
It's a pity that something is missed, just missed.
With the reminder of this, after Li Jiaming finished eating, he took the initiative to call his little sister over and asked about her and the Singaporean boy.
"It's early".
"Divided?"
The graceful little sister didn't care, and explained: "He doesn't want to come to the mainland, I don't want to go to Singapore, and it's going to be separated after a long time." ”
"Oh"
Seeing that her brother was a little strange, the gentle little sister hurriedly said: "Brother, he is a Muslim, and we can't get along." ”
It's a cultural difference again, Li Jiaming doesn't say anything, love and marriage are like shoes, and only the parties know whether they fit or not. As long as the little sister thinks it is good, it is really good.
After drinking tea and chatting with the second uncle for a while, when to kill pigs for the New Year, Li Jiaming went to take a lunch break. After waking up, Li Jiaming, who came out of the bedroom to wash, found that Gui Ming had come here without making a single call.
"Head, I've got something."
It's almost the New Year, and if you still come here, there must be something. Li Jiaming, who was puzzled, nodded, motioned for him to go downstairs with him, and after washing in the kitchen, he said curiously: "Mingzi, is there something wrong with your company?" ”
"No, private matter".
Don't call, run over in person, no need for him to say, Li Jiaming also knows that the matter is not small. Li Jiaming, who didn't want to talk about things at home, thought about it, led Gui Ming out of the door, followed the cement road where there were no cars and no people, and walked to the ancient camphor at the end of the village, before asking, "What's the matter?" ”
It's not that big, it's still the last time Sohu Energy happened. That Vice President Huang didn't give up and found Gui Ming's brother-in-law, Director Min, who still wanted to cooperate with Sohu Energy. But this matter, even an outsider like Li Jiaming can detect something, let alone an officialdom like Min Ju?
Gui Ming told the ins and outs of the matter, and said helplessly: "Head, I can't help it, my brother-in-law helped when he turned positive." Now that people have opened their mouths, I have to come and run this trip. ”
This thing is not easy to do, and there is no way to do it, Li Jiaming asked: "Mingzi, what does my brother-in-law have to do with him?" ”
Yes, the Gui family and the Min family have a bit of a background, why does being promoted to a main hall have something to do with others?
"My brother-in-law has been in the queue with him, and he used to study together in Beiping."
People are warm and cold, Li Jiaming is not easy to say, and Gui Ming is not easy to explain, so the two walked back silently. When he walked to the door, Li Jiaming said helplessly: "What does my brother-in-law mean?" ”
With Li Jiaming, Gui Ming didn't dare to play tricks, and he had to explain some of the things he had heard clearly.
"Head, I also heard some rumors, what the hell is going on, I can't guarantee it."
Before the cup is revealed, who dares to decide whether to win or lose?
"You say".
It's still a factional dispute, the two factions have united, and they want to push people to the top, but some people will step on them. The key is not this issue yet, the key is political differences. After nearly 30 years of reform, everything that is easy to change has been changed, and what is difficult to change is all hard bones. Since it is a hard bone, you can imagine how many vested interests there are behind.
As a person in the officialdom, Min Ju will not explain everything thoroughly, but Gui Ming has to explain everything he knows. His brother-in-law is not him, so there is no need to get involved, and there is no need to use his favor as a lobbyist for others.
"Head, if you help him this time, your Sohu energy will definitely be smooth sailing in the future. If you don't help, I won't say the consequences, you can guess it. Of course, the premise is that they can succeed, and no one is sure of this.
However, as far as I can guess, whether you help or not, it will not affect Hanhua and Lifang. I'm pretty sure of that. ”
"I see".
I didn't say yes, I didn't say no, I just didn't do. Knowing Li Jiaming's attitude, Gui Ming no longer persuaded him, but he was also curious: "Head, you really don't bet?" ”
"What bet?"
After asking rhetorically, Li Jiaming said strangely: "Mingzi, let my brother-in-law take it easy." I don't understand their circle, but it's always bad to ride the wall. ”
"Huh".
