"Oh, home!"

Su Hong and Wang Weiliang brought back large bags and small bags from Europe, and piled them on the sofa in one go, as if they were trophies captured on the battlefield, which was enough for people to show off.

After Su Hong came back from Europe, her whole temperament was very different from before. She has handsome and flowing hair, a short skirt suit that perfectly flatters her perfect figure, and gold glittering high heels under flesh-colored stockings. From head to toe, it's a famous brand. That rustic peasant girl is no longer to be found, and she has become an urban white-collar worker!

Wang Weiliang looked at the new changes in Su Hong, and was secretly happy in his heart. The trip to Europe was a success, Su Hong's vision was greatly broadened, and his clothes and demeanor were all foreign. Su Hong is really a material that can be made, and she is developing in the direction of young beauty, elegant temperament, and dignified manners that Wang Weiliang wants to create. Wang Weiliang hopes to bring Su Hong with him on important occasions, and he can also earn enough face for himself.

"How did you feel about your trip to Europe?" asked Wang Weiliang with a smile on his face.

"It feels so good that I still haven't tasted it yet. You have to promise me that if you go abroad in the future, you will definitely take me with you. Su Hongdao.

"That's for sure, with you by my side, my heart is at ease. Wang Weiliang said.

"It's good to go abroad, but you can't understand foreign languages, and when you go abroad, you're like a deaf person, and you don't know what those foreigners are muttering. When you go out to the store, you can't even read the trademark or street sign, and it's almost the same as a blind person. Those statues, paintings, and monuments can't be seen as good or bad, and what others think is a treasure is a bunch of clay figurines, porcelain bottles, and clay pots. Liang, do you think I'm too uneducated?" said Su Hong with a little regret.

This sentence reminded Wang Weiliang at once. Europeans love to read, and Wang Weiliang was also deeply impressed. In Europe, you can always see people sitting in a café and reading quietly. Moreover, Europeans love art, and museums and art galleries in cities are always full. It seems that it is not enough to have a change in external clothing, it is necessary to recharge Su Hong's mind.

"Su Hong, how about you go for an MBA?"

"What is an MBA?"

"It's an MBA, you go to graduate school. ”

"Graduate school? I'm a junior high school student who hasn't even studied in high school, so how can I get into graduate school?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll take care of everything for you, you get ready, and then you can go to school. However, this is a long-term plan. Currently, you need to take a self-admitted undergraduate first. ”

"Oh, I really don't want to go to school, when I see the textbook, my head goes numb, I really don't have that material. Weiliang, do you think I have a low education and embarrass you. Please, just spare me, don't let me go to school. ”

Wang Weiliang laughed and scraped his fingers on the plain red nose. "What a silly girl, like a child. I think studying is a very pleasant thing! If I can have time to put down all the things in the company and find a place to read and listen to lectures, it will be a great pleasure for me! Didn't you say that when you go abroad, you are like a deaf and a blind person? If you don't study, you are a prisoner of ignorance. I hope you study more and get a degree, not because you have a low academic background, but because I hope you will have more choices in the future and live a more dignified life, which requires knowledge, understand?"

Su Hong was still worried, "Understood." It's just that I'm really stupid, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn anything. ”

Wang Weiliang cheered up: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't learn anything, you can get a diploma." ”

"If you can't learn anything, it's useless to just get a diploma. Su Hong still didn't understand.

"Of course it worked. You can't just do housework at home in the future, I'll arrange a position for you in the company, and you have to be justified, otherwise people will gossip behind your back. If you get a bachelor's degree, you can be offered a good position. If you finish your MBA, you will be given important leadership positions. Also, many of the students in the MBA class are executives of large companies, and some of them go with the purpose of accumulating contacts, which is good for your future development. ”

"Oh, well, then it's up to you. ”

Su Hong hasn't been home for a long time, and she has been thinking about going home to visit her parents. A lot has happened in the past two years that has broken the hearts of parents. Su Hong wanted to take Liang home and let her parents see it, so that they could rest assured.

"When are you free? I want to go back to my hometown. ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget. We're just going to play in the mountains and rivers, and I've never seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so it's rude. Let's go back to your hometown tomorrow. By the way, can you help me think about what gifts to bring to your parents, and what do they like?"

"My parents don't have any preferences, they are reluctant to eat or wear all day long, they just talk about me all day long. I think it's easy to buy a mobile phone, it's convenient to call me in the future, no one in our village has ever used a mobile phone. Su Hong said.

"Okay, just buy a phone. ”

The next day, Wang Weiliang drove to Su Hong's house.

The car bumped forward on the bumpy mountain road, circled the mountain a few times, and finally turned into a village, at the entrance of the village stood a stone tablet, engraved with three big characters - Potou Village.

Several rows of stone houses were scattered irregularly, and weeds were emerging from the walls. Some of the courtyards are very low-walled, and at a glance you can see the barns where the yards store grain, and the golden corn cobs hanging from the trees. The small village is not very big, but the road in the middle of the village is crowded with people. Some old men sat on their horses and smoked dry cigarettes; some old ladies held dolls in their arms; some middle-aged men pulled up their trouser legs, their hair fluffy, and the burdens on their shoulders swayed and trembled, as if they had just returned from the fields; some peasant women kept flying with knitting needles in their hands, outlining the general outline of women's satchels; and some children timidly grabbed the hems of adults' clothes with their small hands when they saw the living people...... As soon as the car entered the village, everyone's eyes were focused.

Wang Weiliang asked Su Hong: "Is there any important activity in the village today?"

"Probably not, everyone is usually like this. You see that there are a lot of idlers, there are no industrial enterprises here, there is no place to go to work, so you have to stay at home. Su Hongdao.

The car slowly stopped at the mouth of an alley, Wang Weiliang and Su Hong got out of the car, what they didn't expect was that the men and women, old and young who were originally on both sides of the road, also gathered over.

"Oh, second aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're in good health!"

"Good, good!"

"Oh, third uncle, hello!"

"Well, good!"

"Isn't this Doudou? It's time to go to elementary school, right? Oops, they've grown so tall. ”

"Is there sugar? Is there sugar?"

Su Hong felt very happy to see so many villagers there, so she greeted them warmly. But when I thought about it, I didn't think something was right. Su Hong pulled the second aunt aside and asked, "Second aunt, what are you all doing here?"

"Everyone heard that you married a big old man, and they all came to see what was going on. The second aunt said.

Su Hong's face, which was still pleasant just now, sank instantly.

The second aunt found that what she just said was not appropriate, so she quickly explained: "Su Hong, don't get me wrong, the second aunt has no other meaning." I'm really happy for you, this man doesn't look old at all, he looks like a big boss, your life is really good! When you were young, I used to say that you have a good face, and you will definitely enjoy happiness in the future, I told you, right? I heard that this car alone is worth more than 1 million, is it really fake?"

Su Hongqiang squeezed out a smile, "um" and "ah" twice, and led Wang Weiliang to go home.

Someone in the back was chattering, "Good car, good car!" "Very bossy!" "At first glance, he is a big leader!" "People are really blessed with girls!" "I heard that this man is in his 50s and doesn't look old, but people in the city are different." "Are you really married?" older than his father!" "I've really found an old man!" "I'm a bad junior!"

Walking to the center of the alley, I saw four tall cement tile houses, new and beautifully highlighted, completely different from the surrounding low and dilapidated stone houses, which stood out in this small village. "I'm home!" Su Hong pointed to the vermilion iron gate and led Wang Weiliang into the house. Passing through the iron gate, there is a spacious courtyard inside, and the main house has just entered the stove room, and two large black and shiny iron pots are lying on the stove on both sides.

Su Hong pushed the back door and saw that her father was making tea on the kang. Su Hong's father was wearing a clean gray earth-colored suit, in his forties, but his face was full of vicissitudes, and he behaved like a steady old man. Mom was busy wiping the table, dressed in good clothes and pants, with a bun on the back of her head.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Su Hong shouted happily.

"Girl, I hope you back. Su Hong's mother smiled.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my object - Wang Weiliang. ”

Wang Weiliang stretched out his hands and stepped forward to shake hands with Su Hong's father.

"Dad. ”

"Alas. ”

"Mom. ”

"Alas. ”

Su Hong's father and Wang Weiliang sat in the kang, and Su Hong's mother and Su Hong sat on the edge of the kang.

Su Hong's parents looked at the son-in-law in front of them and looked at them from head to toe, although they were older than both of them, they were full of heaven, without wrinkles, and they had an elegant temperament all over their bodies. Su Hong's parents liked it, but they didn't know where to start for a while.

"Drink tea, drink tea!" After a few seconds of silence, Su Hong's father remembered to greet Wang Weiliang for tea.

Wang Wei took a sip, feeling fresh and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth, and praised: "Good tea!"

Su Hong's father said: "This tea is our famous sea green tea here, and Su Hong's mother personally went up the mountain to pick it." This water is the sweet spring water on our mountain, and I specially went up the mountain to pick it up this morning. ”

"Oh, what a bother, it's the best tea I've ever had in my life. Good tea, good water, good people, and good hearts, together can brew the best tea in the world!" Although the countrymen are not very rich, their simple hearts make Wang Weiliang feel warm.

"The level of your people in the city is high, and what you say makes sense. Su Hong's father said.

Su Hong's mother said, "You drink first, I'll cook." So he pulled on the plain red and went to the stove together.

Wang Weiliang said: "Actually, I am also from the countryside, I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and then I went to the city. My parents are still in the countryside, and I often want to take them to the city, but they are used to living in the countryside and are reluctant to go to the city. The countryside is beautiful, the neighbors know each other, everyone goes to the door, and they are homely together, and life is quite comfortable. ”

"Comfortable? Hey, I really didn't realize it. Now, none of the young people want to stay in the countryside. Rural children study well, and after being admitted to university, they will stay in the city to work. Babies who don't study well will also go to the city to work. The rest of the village are all old men and old ladies, and there are people like me and her mother, who are neither too old nor young, have no skills, and have no head, just messing around in the village. Go out to work to earn more, and just farm at home, you can't get through. Sometimes when I see people going out to work, I am also hungry, but I just don't want to leave my hot kang head. A few acres of land, a cow, a wife and children are hot on the kang, don't our ancestors live like this?" Su Hong's father sighed.

In the stove, Su Hong's mother looked at her daughter, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, the eighteenth change of the female college was really more and more peugeot.

"Su Hong, how is this Wang Weiliang treating you?

"Mom, look at what you said, people are cultural people, and they are good to me!"

"I heard that rich people have big tempers, and my mother is afraid that you will be wronged. ”

"Bing Liang is a very sincere person, very good to me, I just fancy him, so I follow him. ”

"Su Hong, to tell you the truth, since you and Li Qiong divorced, my mother has not slept a single night, thinking about you all day long, thinking all day long, how will I live this girl's life in the future? Now you have found a good family, even if you are older, as long as it is good to you, it will be fine. ”

"Mom, don't worry about it, I'm doing well. ”

"By the way, he's so old, can he still do it?"

"What doesn't work?"

"Silly boy, you two...... At night...... That ...... "Su Hong's mother gestured with her hand.

"Oops!" Su Hong's face turned red, and she lowered her head and smiled silently.

"Is it okay?" asked Su Hong's mother eagerly.

"It's ok. Su Hong spit out two words in a low voice.

The meal was quickly ready, and it was served hot on the kang, but Su Hong and her mother came to eat for a long time. Wang Weiliang went down to the stove and beckoned: "Mom, come and eat, it's really hard for you, you've been busy for most of the day!"

"You eat first, and I'll steam some dry food for you." Su Hong's mother said.

Wang Weiliang had no choice but to return to the kang.

Su Hong's father said: "Forget about them, let's drink it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Su Hong's father felt a little awkward, and quickly changed his words: "Oh, let's drink, let's drink." The rule here is that men can't drink alcohol, women can't serve the table, and when the men finish drinking, they can bring the table down before women can eat at the pot. Come on, leave them alone. ”

"When we're done, won't the food be cold? Wang Weiliang said.

"It's cold, it's cold, don't worry about it. It's been like this for thousands of years, let's drink ours. You see, the original liquor of Yaoyatai has been put aside for several years, and I have never been willing to drink it. Today, let's drink this. Daddy Su Hong took out a box of wine from under the cabinet and wiped the dust off the box with a rag.

Wang Weiliang looked at it, and sure enough, it was a box of 70-degree Yaoyatai, and the packaging had been yellowed, and it seemed that the treasure time was not short.

The two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and gradually got better. Su Hong's father was drunk and hazy, and even began to stutter when he spoke.

"You...... You...... How did you coax my daughter?" Su Hong's father had a gloomy face.

"Dad, I didn't ......," Wang Weiliang quickly explained.

Before Wang Weiliang finished speaking, Su Hong's father laughed, "Oh, Lao Wang, it seems that you are also an honest person, a man, there is no woman around you who knows cold and hot, how can you do it? Su Hong, this girl, has been sensible since she was a child, and she got along with Li Qiong's kid at the beginning, but somehow, she divorced the marriage in a daze...... Hey, it's hard to find a good guy again. Therefore, I told my wife that as long as I can remarry, don't have too high eye sockets. Now follow you, and I and the old woman will be at ease. At your age, you know how to hurt women, I don't have to say anything about this girl, you have to treat her well. Su Hong's father was overwhelmed by the alcohol and began to talk nonsense.

"Dad, don't worry, I will treat Su Hong well. Wang Weiliang said.

Su Hong's father drooped his head, waved his hand, and said in a slurred voice: "Brother, Su Hong follows you, and there are also people in the village who gossip, what a sugar daddy, what a little wife, and the idle girls make up a smooth slip - with the old man, eat a good meal...... These quacks are piercing to the ears. I said, that's because they can't eat grapes, and when they say that grapes are sour, they're red-eyed. In fact, now the brains of rural people are also very active, this kind of thing, most old and young masters can see it, and there are many people who covet my daughter. In the new society, you can't always turn over the old calendar, those unpleasant croaks are just a bunch of stinky farts, and they will be blown away by a gust of wind. You have to treat Su Hong well, let the old and young masters in the village see, my daughter is finally living a personal life!" Su Hong's father was saying, rolling his eyes and falling down on the dinner table.

Wang Weiliang was startled, "Dad, Dad!" Wang Weiliang shouted while shaking Suhong's father's arm.

Su Hong's mother heard the sound and came over to take a look, "Hey, this old man, he can't drink, but he just loves face." Every time a guest comes to the house, he can drink, for fear that he will not entertain others, so he gets drunk every time. It's okay, he just gets some sleep. ”

Immediately, they heard snoring on the table, and Wang Weiliang and Su Hong smiled knowingly.

In the afternoon, Wang Weiliang and Su Hong were ready to go back. The two of them were nagging together again. Su Hong's mother told Su Hongqian: "On the table, in front of outsiders, you must give a man face." When a man comes home, make him feel light. If we women want to live a good life, we have to rely on men to earn money outside, and if they work outside for a day, don't let them go home to work again. If a woman serves a man well, a man will always have you in his heart. Women must not show off, but leave the vacancy of show off to men. When your man is out, so are you. ”

"Got it, Mom. Su Hong listened one by one.

"Bing Liang came in the car, I asked your father to clean up some greens for you, cabbage, radish, eggplant or something, I can't eat so much at home, and peanut oil, and I also carried two buckets. Su Hong's mother said.

"Mom, you don't have to clean up, it's very convenient for us to buy groceries there. Su Hong said.

"Silly boy, what you bought, how can it be delicious to grow at home. The vegetables in the city are all irrigated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and even those who grow vegetables in our village divide the vegetable garden into two parts, one piece of land uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the vegetables grown are sold to the people in the city, and the other piece of land is not fertilized or pesticides, and the vegetables grown are eaten by themselves. You always eat pesticides and fertilizers in the city, can you get better? I'm not afraid that you will spend money, but I am afraid that you will eat badly. Su Hong's mother said earnestly.

"Then let's clean up a bit. ”

Su Hong took out a box from her bag, "Mom, look, this is the mobile phone that Weiliang bought for you, as well as cosmetics bought from Europe, you can use it to try." ”

"This person is good, and he has a good heart. I really don't know how to thank people, it's all your blessing. The last time you sent back the 80,000 yuan, our family has only built four new houses, which is already the best house in the village, and the neighbors are hungry. Now that you've bought so many things, where have I ever enjoyed this kind of blessing? Even if it's this mobile phone, I won't use it. ”

"I'll teach you. Su Hong took out her mobile phone from the box, and after turning it on, there was no signal. "What's going on?" Su Hong took out her phone again, but there was no signal at all. Su Hong understood, it should be that the mountains are relatively remote and cannot receive the signal.

At this time, Wang Weiliang walked into the house, "Su Hong, it's time to go." ”

Su Hong hummed and got up.

Wang Weiliang took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Su Hong's mother's hand. "Mom, this is for you. ”

"What's so embarrassing about this? I can't help it, I can't help it!" Su Hong's mother repeatedly refused.

"Mom, you can take it!" Su Hong said.

Su Hong's mother had to reluctantly accept it.

In the car, Su Hong told Wang Weiliang: "Weiliang, the mobile phone you sent to our mother can't be used." ”

"How is that possible? I bought a new one, it should be fine, I tried it at the time. ”

"No, it's no signal, there's no signal on the mountain. ”

"It's easy to say, just install a signal tower. ”

In the evening, Wang Weiliang returned home and picked up the phone: "Mr. Lin, you have made a fortune recently." ”

The other end of the phone said, "Oh, Chairman Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have time to get together." ”

Wang Weiliang said: "Recently, I have changed my secretary again?

The other end of the phone laughed, "We laymen are so good, let you figure it out." It's still hello, married to a 20-year-old Xiaoyan, who eats meat and meat every day, and we look greedy. Brother, my life is bitter, and if I am hungry and full, I can only open meat occasionally. ”

"Hehehe, I'll tell you about business. Today I went to my mother-in-law's house, Potou Village, there is no mobile phone signal, and your service is not in place. ”

"That place, in the ravine, where rabbits don't, no one uses mobile phones, and installing signal towers is a loss of money. ”

"If you don't pretend, no one will use it, and if you do, won't someone use it?"

"Okay, you've spoken, little brother, I'll do it, I'll send someone to choose a site tomorrow, and within half a month, I promise to let your mother-in-law use your mobile phone, what do you think?"

"Okay, brother is interesting. That place is the old revolutionary area, after a while, I will call Director Zhao and ask him to send a film crew over to follow up and report on the whole process for you, so that Jiaohe Satellite TV can publicize it well, you have done a good thing for the people of the old area, and the people of the old area will not forget you. ”

"Hehe, Chairman Wang, my little brother has something that I have been trying to trouble you, but I don't know whether to open my mouth or not. ”

"After so many years of friendship, what else can't you say?"

"My sister-in-law is in the financial department of your company, has always been an ordinary accountant, my sister-in-law often runs to my house, let me say hello to you, want to mention it, my wife also blows the pillow wind every day, I know that you implement an international management model in the company, and there are strict procedures for employee promotion, so I have not mentioned this matter. You see, it'......"

"It's easy to do, I'll give her a chance to behave. ”

"Chairman Wang, you are so interesting! Little brother, I thanked you first!"

"Thank you, too! ”

After a while, Wang Weiliang touched the phone again: "Hey, Manager Li, I'm Weiliang." ”

"Oh, Chairman Wang, hello!"

"I want to ask you something, is the tap water supply in Potou Village also under the control of your company? When I went to the village today, I found that the people still had to go to the mountains to fetch water to drink. ”

"The situation in this village is more complicated, and it can be said that it is under the control of our company, or it can be said that it is not under the management of our company. You know, the people in the village live too scattered to collect running water. Some villages have money, and if they find a spring in the mountains, they can install tap water themselves, which has nothing to do with us. In some villages, there is no money, so people can only dig wells or carry water by themselves. The company is also short of money now, and there is no way to solve the problem all at once. ”

"How much does a village's water supply project cost?"

"Because of uncertain factors such as terrain, distance, and households, I can't say how much it will cost, but generally speaking, it will cost about 8 to 150,000 yuan. ”

"Our company has a poverty alleviation fund, I will allocate 150,000 yuan to you to help the poor at a designated point, and install tap water for Potou Village, what do you think?"

"How embarrassing is this? It's all our job, and I'm ashamed to charge your company this money!"

"Hey, it's just to do something practical for the people, I will contribute money and you will contribute, and this thing can be done. ”

"Chairman Wang, to tell you a word from the heart, in our business world, I will serve you. Chinese entrepreneurs, if they are like you, our entrepreneurs will be more respected. You're so generous, I can't be too far behind. I assure you that all the later maintenance costs will be borne by our company. ”

"Well, okay, we did a good thing together. However, it is best to keep a low profile in this matter, and do not disclose that it is donated by our company, and treat it as a livelihood project of your water company. ”

"You're adding points to my political achievements. Chairman Wang, I will definitely do this well and beautifully!"

On this day, Su Hong's father, as usual, went up the mountain to fetch spring water.

I saw a few people pulling ropes on the edge of the spring, measuring something, and some people fiddling with something on a tripod, looking into the distance.

Su Hong's father asked, "What are you doing here?"

"We're measuring on the ground and we're going to install tap water for you, so you don't have to fetch water every day, and the water will flow out as soon as you turn the faucet at home. ”

Su Hong's father was very excited and asked, "Is this true? I really can't dream that I can't dream that my ancestors have picked up mountain spring water for many years, and I don't need to pick it anymore when I come here?"

"It's true, you don't have to pick it again in the future. ”

Su Hong's father said: "Back then, the * army fought guerrillas here with us, and they also drank mountain spring water. * The army has lived in our house, and he has also carried water miles for my father. Now, I'm in time for the good times. Two days ago, someone came to install the signal tower, and today they came to install tap water, and I thank you for the old and young masters of the whole village......!

A month later, the water supply project in Potou Village was successfully completed, and the completion ceremony was held on the hill behind Potou Village. The men, women and children of the whole village came, and the sweet smiles on everyone's faces were written, and the joy in their hearts was mentioned. This is a major event in the history of Potou Village, and it will forever be recorded in the village chronicles of Potou Village.

After a bumpy journey, Manager Li came to Potou Village in the poor and remote countryside just to participate in the completion ceremony of the water supply project in Potou Village. It is rare for people in Potou Village to see big officials, especially good officials who do practical things like this. They knew in their hearts that the fact that they could drink tap water today must be the credit of this official.

Manager Li stepped onto the podium and looked around at the crowd. Looking at the smiling masses, Manager Li truly felt that doing practical things and doing good things for the people is the greatest happiness for officials. "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am very happy to come to the beautiful scenery of Potou Village, on behalf of all the staff of Jiaohe Water Supply Company, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the successful completion of the Potou Village Water Supply Project!"

"The rural tap water supply project is a noble social undertaking that embodies the ardent love of the people of the city. In line with the attitude of being responsible to the people and the spirit of seizing the day, the engineering team successfully completed the project after a month of arduous construction. This is a real project to benefit the people, a people's project, and a practical project, which is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future!"

Reporters from all walks of life are working hard, and the flashing lights are flashing non-stop.

"It is hoped that the two village committees will manage this tap water facility well, use it well, guarantee it well, give full play to the radiation driving effect of the tap water project, get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, and live up to the ardent expectations of caring entrepreneurs and the people of the city. Whether it is me or people from all walks of life who are enthusiastic about public welfare, I will continue to care, support and serve the development of Potou Village!"

Manager Li's sonorous speech wafted in the air, which boosted the hearts of all the villagers. Even Manager Li himself can't remember how many completion ceremonies he has spoken at over the years. But today's speech will be remembered for the rest of his life, because every sentence of today comes from the bottom of his heart. The villagers reveled in Manager Li's speech, and after a short silence, applause suddenly rang out. At this time, firecrackers also crackled, and several large bundles of colorful balloons floated into the sky, spreading joy in the small village.
