Chapter 170: A Little Farewell

Xu Ming's economic crisis lasted until the beginning of spring in March, when the second phase of the project had started, but some of the planned funds had not yet been secured. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Just when Xu Ming was anxious about his capital chain, an unexpected person called Xu Ming. It was Grandma Xu's personal driver and housekeeper before her death, Uncle Zhang.

"Xu Ming, I heard Xu Lie say that your company's capital chain has been a little tight recently." Uncle Zhang said straight to the point.

"Well, I'm trying to figure it out, and I'm considering whether to give up some of the planned projects and postpone construction." Xu Ming said helplessly. Uncle Zhang has been following the Xu family for many years, and in Xu Ming's opinion, he is like a relative of his own family. Although they haven't been in constant contact since they came to Shancheng to take root in Wujia Village, Xu Ming has never put Uncle Zhang outside the old Xu family.

In fact, since Grandma Xu's accident, Xu Ming knows that the lives of the two second-hand goods who caused the accident have been taken care of by Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang has always been low-key and cautious, and he takes care of the Xu family, whose reputation has been ruined, because Uncle Zhang himself does not regard himself as an accident of the Xu family. Although there has been no legally affirmed relationship between him and Grandma Xu, the relationship between the two is actually very harmonious and stable.

"That's it, Xu Ming, you want to find a way to come to my side, I'm old and my legs are inconvenient, people are lazy, I don't like to move around, you come here, I have something to explain to you." Uncle Zhang said euphemistically.

"Okay, I'll go over as soon as possible, just for a few days, I'll book my ticket and contact you when I arrive." Xu Ming knew that Uncle Zhang was measured, and in the case of his company being so busy and tight on funds, if there was nothing in a hurry, he would never have called himself over.

Is it grandma's business? Xu Ming thought to himself. In fact, Grandma Xu's death had a great impact on Xu Ming, and grandma, who had always taught her that her life was more important than everything, dropped her life at a critical moment and saved those two unsuccessful guys. This made him doubt the meaning of his existence. Can relatives be tolerant and tolerant without principle? Or even pay for their mistakes with their own lives?

Xu Ming has always valued his relatives, but he doesn't feel that he can sacrifice or sacrifice too much for his relatives who have done wrong. Even the people you love the most, when you make a mistake, you still have to pay the price after making a mistake. It's not up to someone else to help pay the bill. If Xu Ming handled this matter, if he was in Grandma Xu's position, he would send the two to prison without hesitation, but after they were released from prison, he would help them as much as he could.

He thought, doting is definitely not love, unprincipled tolerance is not love, if there is one day in the future, even if his dearest Xiao Xue'er makes a mistake, he will not hesitate to let her accept the punishment she deserves. People cannot always live under the protection of others, nor can they hurt others unprincipledly and betray social rules and norms of life. Defending such relatives is also irresponsible to society for its own justice.

Because it was a temporary arrangement to receive a phone call temporarily, even if Xu Ming arranged the travel as soon as possible, it still took three days to leave for Uncle Zhang. Because this time it was an emergency, and Uncle Zhang said that it might be delayed for a few more days, Xu Ming originally wanted to arrange for Mrs. Wu and Xiao Xue'er to go together, but because Xiao Xue'er had some signs of a cold recently, and Mrs. Wu's company was also expanding its staff, Xu Ming had to go alone.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that two people have been separated for a long time since they got married. Because no matter how busy and tired they were, the two insisted on going home to rest every night. Moreover, even if he was on a long-distance business trip, Xu Ming tried his best to arrange to go with Mrs. Wu. And since Xiao Xue'er was born, the two have tried not to arrange long-distance business trips, and will only go out in person when they have to go in person.

It is also thanks to the fact that Wujia Village has installed a fiber optic cable network in advance over the years, and sometimes, they have solved some problems with a video conference, otherwise, with Xu Ming's identity and workload, it is really difficult to accompany them every day.

"You must pay attention to safety on the road, by the way, it may be hot over there, bring two thin clothes. Also, the scar on your leg probably itches when it's hot, so I brought you a muscle-building ointment and put it in your bag, don't forget to apply it. Also, spring is the period of high incidence of the virus, you go to public places to wear a mask as much as possible, I bought you a disposable bag, and put it in your bag. By the way, pay attention when eating, don't eat bad stomach, spring, it's really troublesome. Mrs. Wu instructed while packing Xu Ming's luggage.

If it weren't for the recent recruitment difficulties and the lack of manpower in the field, I would have taken Xiao Xue'er and Xu Ming with me a long time ago. The two of them are used to getting along with each other day and night, and they suddenly have to be separated for several days, and they are really reluctant to do so. It is said that there is a lot of surplus labor in rural areas, but now many young people go out to work, and there is only one child, and many villages with better transportation have moved their families. The strong laborers of some poor villages still have a wait-and-see attitude towards Mrs. Wu's factory, fearing that the wages will not be paid, that the factory will be unstable, and that they will be busy in vain.

"By the way, when you go back, go to Grandma's grave and burn some paper money. This is what Wang's mother explained, we should have gone to the Qingming Festival, but we didn't make it, this time it's just right, you go back and kowtow to grandma, and tell her that the old man is all right. ”

"Also, Lin Yue said when she left, I want you to go to Xu Lie when you go back, and you didn't entertain you well when they came."

Mrs. Wu said without a word, explaining all the trivial things that Xu Ming would do without her explaining at all. I had a lot of things I wanted to say to him, and I wanted to hug him and talk about my worries, and say goodbye. But there are some words that come to my lips but I can't say anything. Originally, the two of them were together every day, and most of the time they spent talking took up to them. And Xu Ming only came back after a few days, how could he have so many words in his heart. Mrs. Wu just felt that it was not enough, but she felt reluctant.

"Well, I remember everything you said, don't worry. I will wipe the ointment on time, drink clean water, try not to eat out, and I will also go to see my grandmother, and then go to Xu Lie Xu Wan. Take advantage of this opportunity to give yourself a good vacation, change your thinking, maybe you can be poor and have no way out, and the willows and flowers will be bright and bright. Xu Ming put down the materials in his hand, hugged the chattering Mrs. Wu, and comforted.

He didn't understand why someone would dislike his wife and nag. The nagging words of the person he loves are all words of concern, and if he is warm, he loves to listen to Mrs. Wu's broken thoughts, and he loves her nagging around him. With her nagging, he felt that the world was much warmer, and he felt that his life was much more fulfilling.

"I, I have some, I am reluctant, I am not willing to you!" Mrs. Wu muttered. She crept her head around his neck and sniffed him fiercely. He has been sleeping with him in his arms for so many years, and with such a sudden separation, she will definitely lose sleep at night. It's just that in the bottom of her heart, she suddenly remembered when she was separated from Wuda. Who said that the past will eventually pass, and the past will always be a trace in your life.

The traces may become shallow and faded, but they will always jump out at some inadvertent times in life, swaying your thoughts, interfering with your judgment, disturbing your mind, and even breaking your dreams. Although he knew that Xu Ming was not Wuda, although he knew that the relationship between Xu Ming and himself was stable and solid, and although he knew that Xu Ming's departure was not comparable to the departure of Wuda, the trace in his heart jumped out, jumped in front of Mrs. Wu and shouted to her: "Don't let him go, don't let him leave, the man will become bad if he leaves, and he will never come back!" ”

Mrs. Wu thought about all this in her heart, and all the words that she couldn't say turned into tears in her eyes. Wrapped in all her worries, contradictions, and self-blame, she rolled out and quietly dripped onto Xu Ming's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's nothing, I'll be back in a week at most, and, what's the matter? Right? Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and I will come back as soon as Uncle Zhang's affairs are done. Xu Ming felt the slippery tears of Mrs. Wu on his shoulder, and he was also a little reluctant. I even wanted to take her with me, but the current situation really didn't allow it.

The baby's situation does not allow it, and neither does the situation of Mrs. Wu's factory. At this time, he hoped that she was not a person with her own hobbies and careers, but a housewife with nothing to do. That way, he could take her with him wherever he went, whenever he wanted.

"Well, I know, I know, I believe in you, but I am, I just don't have a solid heart." Mrs. Wu said softly.

"Tell you, let's say that Xiao Beisheng is newlywed, we haven't felt it yet, this time we should give us a chance to experience it." Xu Ming kissed the tears in the corners of Mrs. Wu's eyes and said softly.

"Although I feel like a newlywed every day with you, since you said it, I am willing to give you a chance to experience it." Mrs. Wu said a little teasingly. I feel as warm and happy as being in love with him every day, doesn't he? Are you still looking forward to Xiao Biesheng's new marriage?

"Well, I said the wrong thing, I'm just like you, every day together is as sweet and happy as a newlywed. No need for a small part. However, this time you really have to be separated for a while, and you should have a better life experience. We can't turn every day, even a second, into an unhappy moment. I want every day, every minute, every second of our life to be happy. Xu Ming's words were warm and firm, and a little warmth gradually rose in Mrs. Wu's heart. Although the separation is sad, Xu Ming's warmth always makes her happy.

Just when the two of them were tired and crooked, Mother Wang came back with Xiao Xue'er basking in the sun. Xiao Xue'er, who is almost one year old, has already recognized people and started calling Mommy and Dad. Occasionally, he would hold Xu Ming's head, pull his hair, and call his father affectionately. Seeing the baby come back, Xu Ming took it and hugged Xue'er in his arms. Gently kiss the baby's face.

smiled and said, "Baby, dad is out of the house, I can't coax you to sleep tonight and tell you a story." At night, you accompany your mother, tell stories to your mother, and sleep with your mother. ”

"Ahh When he grinned, saliva ran down the corners of his mouth.

"What can such a big kid understand!" Mother Wang took Xue'er and instructed Xu Ming, "You must go to the grave for grandma, you know." After that, he took the child to the baby's room to play with toys. Knowing that Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming are tired of loving crookedly, the two of them hug and kiss together all day long, and now they have to separate, let alone kiss and hug. She always felt awkward when she was an elder present.

In fact, if it weren't for Xiao Xue'er pestering her, she really didn't know what she could do. In other words, the eldest son's family, the eldest daughter's family, she is actually unwilling to live in her son's daughter's house. But since Wang's father died, she has been alone, day after day, night after night. She really didn't know what hope she would have for life if she didn't have children and children around her.

"Okay, let's go, the driver has been waiting for you outside for a long time." Mrs. Wu patted Xu Ming's clothes and stroked the collar of Xu Ming's shirt. I leaned on his chest and sniffed him a few more times, and said with a smile.

"Well, that's it, you take care of mom and baby at home. Turn on the lights and surveillance in the yard at night. You know what? Xu Ming instructed. It's not just that Mrs. Wu is reluctant, but in fact, he is also very reluctant. Just now, he could see the well-behaved and cute appearance of his baby daughter, and he couldn't wait to hold her directly and pull Mrs. Wu into the car and go together.

Xu Ming hugged Mrs. Wu tightly, gave her a long kiss, whispered I love you, and turned around to go out with his luggage. Because he was afraid that he would not be able to resist coming back, he did not let her go out to see her off, and he did not look back.

"Alas, isn't it just three or five days away, what are you going to do, with that, what is that called, called, yes, yes, yes, what is said on TV, it's like parting with life and death." Mama Wang, looking at Mrs. Wu, who was still standing at the door in a daze with tears in her eyes after Xu Ming left, said.

"Ah, Mom, your realm is getting higher and higher, and you know that life and death are parting, and you can speak idioms." Mrs. Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile.

"What, I am, I'm telling you, I just haven't gone to school, I haven't learned any idioms, but as long as I go to school, I'm definitely the best one to learn." Oh, our times were not good, and girls were not allowed to enter the school without status. You, at that time, the family was distressed, and they were reluctant to let you climb the ravine to go to school, otherwise, you would be a college student. Wang Ma said nagging.

When people are old, they love nostalgia, they love to think of the past, good and bad, light and heavy, and they don't play when they talk about it. At first, Mrs. Wu was not used to it, but now, she is used to it. If Wang's mother didn't nag quietly one day, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Mom, really, why didn't you be ruthless and let me go to school." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

"Besides, it's not your dad yet, I'm afraid that it's not safe for you to go back and forth as a girl. If it weren't for your brother's bad legs, he wouldn't be able to send you, otherwise, your dad would have asked your brother to send you back and forth to school. Your dad is a good man. It's not patriarchal at all, it's better to hold you than to you, you're a big baby in the palm of his hand. Alas, if your dad is still here, he can see our little Cher, I don't know what it will be. As she spoke, tears began to slide down the corners of her eyes.

"Alas, your father, that is, life is hard, you have never enjoyed any blessings in your life, and you ...... life of hardship and suffering."

"Mom, let's not talk about it, let's talk about something happy." Mrs. Wu comforted Mother Wang and said.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." Wang Ma said with some remorse. was originally here to comfort his baby girl, but why did he provoke his daughter's sadness. It's so old, it's old and confused!
