Chapter 7: Childhood Memories
Guo Tai heard his son's surprise question, so he turned his eyes to his wife for help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info He knows that his son and his wife have a deep relationship between mother and son, and it is better for his wife to tell him about this matter herself.
Li Suqin understood what her husband meant, so she said to her son: "You guessed right." Secretary Yang has always appreciated you. If you can marry Nan Nan, he can have no regrets. β
Guo Haodong said with a wry smile: "Mom, it turns out that the dying old man you mentioned on the phone that I need to 'save' is actually Secretary Yang?" It's... It's ridiculous. Am I saving his life by marrying his daughter? β
Li Suqin hurriedly explained: "What I mean by 'saving' is to comfort his concern." As parents, who doesn't want their children to have a good support. β
Guo Haodong disagreed: "This is his wishful thinking. Will he be considerate of his daughter's feelings? Not to mention mine. I will never do what he wants. β
When Guo Tai heard his son's refusal, he couldn't help frowning, and he tried his best to give his wife a look.
Li Suqin hurriedly persuaded: "Haodong, don't be angry. Nan Nan is also very affectionate towards you. Secretary Yang and our family are also world friends, and they are your father's old superiors for many years..."
"Don't talk about it!" Guo Haodong shook his head and said, "He is your old superior, not mine." I've only been in contact with that girl for a long time. How could she have feelings for me? This is simply nonsense. β
Guo Tai couldn't be silent any longer, and immediately reproached: "Haodong, you can't be a man without a conscience. You can't do it for your own selfish sake at the expense of other people's lives. Your mother and I taught you from a young age to be considerate of others. Have you forgotten all the principles of life that we have told you? β
Guo Haodong shook his head again and again: "But these are two different things." I can't sacrifice my life's happiness for kindness, can I? β
"Shut up." Guo Tai said angrily, "Since you haven't seen Nan Nan for many years, and you don't know that girl, how do you know that she can't give you happiness?" β
Guo Haodong retorted: "Even if she can bring me happiness, but I already have Lan Lan after all, I have to talk about a 'first come, first come, first come' when I fall in love, right?" β
Li Suqin said: "The Lan Lan you said is the girl you just met abroad, right?" You've only known each other for a few days, do you know everything about her? Why did that girl make you feel like you've lost your soul in just a few days? β
Guo Haodong said very awe-inspiringly: "I fell in love with Lan Lan at first sight, no matter what type of girl she is, she will not marry in this life." β
"You..." Guo Tai's beard puffed out again. He has been a leader for a long time, and he has developed a commanding spirit, so he naturally can't tolerate others saying no to him. He stood up and was about to attack his son.
Li Suqin saw that her husband wanted to be angry with her son, and she was worried that things would get out of control, so she hurriedly said to her husband: "Lao Guo, don't you still have business to do?" Now let's go. I'd like to talk to my son alone. β
Guo Tai also knew in his heart that this matter could not be forced, and it would be useless for him to have a seizure against his son. So he took advantage of the 'step' given by his wife and said, "Okay then." Let's have a good talk. I'll go to the office first. β
Guo Tai said that, turned around and walked out of the house.
At this time, he was also uneasy in his heart, and pinned his hopes of persuading his son on his wife. He knew in his heart that no matter how much resistance he encountered, he would promote the marriage between his son and Secretary Yang's daughter. I didn't want to tie up with my boss, because Secretary Yang's reign was running out. I did this because I and Secretary Yang had become a 'community of destiny'.
Li Suqin knew that her son's personality was relatively stubborn. In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, she deliberately asked her son about Chen Lanlan's situation.
Guo Haodong naturally thought about Chen Lanlan too, and when his mother asked about her, he naturally told her eloquentlyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
When Li Suqin heard that the girl was going to study abroad for another year, her eyes lit up: "Haodong, in this way, do you have to wait for that girl for a year?" β
Guo Haodong disagreed: "A year is nothing, it's just a flick of a finger." β
Li Suqin said patiently: "Child, a year can change many things. Aren't you afraid that she will meet the boy she likes more? After all, a girl's heart is erratic. β
Mother's words made Guo Haodong blush a little, Lan Lan already had a boyfriend, and she didn't snatch love by herself...
Li Suqin saw that her son lowered his head and hesitated, so he took the opportunity to preach again: "Even if that girl can wait for you for a year, then you can take advantage of this year to do something that can comfort Secretary Yang." β
Guo Haodong was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" β
Li Suqin said bluntly: "You can temporarily agree to this family affair with Nan Nan, and wait until her father leaves the West, if you feel that you really have no feelings for Nan Nan, it's not too late to break up with her." β
Guo Haodong was stunned: "Are you asking me to act to deceive that old man?" β
Li Suqin smiled indifferently: "As long as Secretary Yang leaves without regrets, even if he is a well-intentioned deception, why not?" Even if your Lan Lan found out about it afterwards, he wouldn't blame you. β
Guo Haodong's heart moved, and he felt that although his mother's suggestion was a bit ridiculous, it was also a good way to solve the current stalemate. If you don't pay for it, it won't look good on anyone's face. Besides, since Nan Nan is Secretary Yang's only daughter, she must also be a girl with the temper of the eldest lady. If she had told her the truth, she might have proudly rejected the business. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Thinking of this, he finally nodded, "Okay then." I'll promise to get in touch with Nan Nan first. β
When Li Suqin heard that her son finally relented, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "That's right." β
She then walked out of the living room and went to the bedroom, to call her husband as soon as possible to report the good news.
Besides, Yang Nannan, who has returned to China, is still in a stalemate with his father.
Yang Chongqi saw that he couldn't convince his daughter, so he fell down in anger.
Seeing this, Yang Nannan immediately panicked and hurriedly called an ambulance.
Yang Chongqi said in a weak voice: "Nan Nan, you want to kill your father with anger." As long as you don't agree to me, I won't cooperate with the doctor's treatment anymore, and I'd rather die at home. β
Yang Nannan cried: "Dad, why are you forcing your own daughter? β
Yang Chongqi said gloomily: "Silly boy, it's not your father who forces you, but you who force your father." Dad hasn't been around for long, and since he can't take care of you anymore, of course he has to entrust you to a boy who makes Dad trust the most. However, the kid you brought back is simply a guy who doesn't know how to learn. He will only cling to you, what can he bring you? I want to see that you are reconciled with him, how can you finally close your eyes? β
Although Yang Nannan is also a stubborn girl, she can't help but soften when she looks like her father.
She was entangled in her heart, and suddenly asked, "Since you don't like Zhao Wei, who do you want to marry me to?" β
Yang Chongqi saw that his daughter's attitude had softened a little, and his gloomy eyes suddenly lit up and said, "That boy's name is Guo Haodong, that is, the son of Vice Mayor Guo." β
"You're talking about Brother Haodong?" Yang Nannan couldn't help blurting out.
Yang Chongqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, yes, yes, it's him." Do you remember? When you were younger, he used to come to our house. At that time, he was still coaxing you to play. β
When Yang Nannan heard his father's reminder, he immediately recalled the pastγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
At that time, Yang Nannan was still a seven-year-old girl, because her mother had passed away. She was pulled by her middle-aged father. Because she lost her mother since she was a child, she was often ridiculed and bullied by the neighbors' children. Because at that time, her father Yang Chongqi was still a deputy bureau-level cadre, and he couldn't support her.
At that time, Guo Tai, who had a good personal relationship with Yang Chongqi, took his wife and son to her house as a guest.
At that time, Guo Haodong was a thirteen-year-old boy, who had just been admitted to junior high school, and was a boy full of sunshine and vitality.
At that time, his father accompanied Guo Tai and his wife to chat, so he couldn't take care of her. She went out to play alone, only to encounter several children from the neighborhood. Among them, the child's father has a higher rank than her father.
When they found that Yang Nannan was holding a shoe box on the side of the street outside his house, and fiddling with his other hand with many small stones of different colors and shapes, they deliberately broke it.
The child glanced at one of the boys who was about the same as Nan Nan, and the little boy quietly approached Yang Nannan, and took advantage of her inattention, snatched the shoe box from her arms, and ran into the pile of children...
"Give it back to me!" Xiao Nannan was angry, regardless of the strength of the other party, and bravely chased after him...
Those scoundrel boys naturally didn't take Xiao Nannan in their eyes. The child proudly took the shoe box from the boy who snatched the shoe box, and looked at the contents curiously, and then stared at Xiao Nannan with disdainful eyes and said, "I thought there was any treasure in it." It turned out to be just some rotten rocks. Do you still want it? β
"That's mine, why are you robbing me of something? Give it back to me soon. Xiao Nannan was a little angry.
The child's head was like an overlord, and he couldn't help but point to Xiao Nannan, who was much shorter than him, and said, "If you want to go back to the box, it's easy, hurry up and kowtow to Young Master Ben three times." β
"No!" Xiao Nannan shook her head stubbornly.
The child's head felt that his dignity had been violated, and he couldn't help but be very angry, so he threw the small stones in the shoe box one by one in different directions in the distance.
Xiao Nannan saw that her beloved little stones were ruthlessly thrown away one by one, and she couldn't help crying aggrievedly.
She was desperate to rush over and retrieve the box, but was stopped by the other boys.
At this time, the child's head pointed at the children and said, "Since this little girl refuses to kneel for this young man, then you can help her." β
The boys usually looked at this child's head, and after listening to the child's order, they immediately forcibly pressed Xiao Nannan to the concrete floor...
"Stop!" At this critical juncture, a loud voice shook the little scoundrels.
The child's head looked up at this time, and could not help but be startled, and a tall boy stood in front of them like a god.
He is Guo Haodong. It turned out that when Yang Chongqi was chatting with Guo Tai and his wife, he found that his daughter had gone out to play alone, and he was a little uneasy about her, so he asked Guo Haodong, who was sitting on the side, to go out to take care of his daughter.
Li Suqin also took the opportunity to say: "Haodong, go out and play with Sister Nan Nan for a while." β
Guo Haodong accompanied his parents to visit people's homes today, and he was bored listening to those adults say some difficult words. As soon as he heard the words of Uncle Yang and his mother, he walked out happily.
When he found that the little girl had walked out of the hospital, he followed and found out, just in time to meet Xiao Nannan being bullied by several little scoundrels.
"Who are you? Why do you care about Lao Tzu's business? Although the child's head was a little timid, he relied on his own number of people, so he pretended to be pretentious to Guo Haodong.
Guo Haodong was a few years older than them, so he naturally didn't take these little scoundrels in his eyes, and couldn't help sneering: "Who am I, is it necessary to tell you?" What are you bastards doing to bully a little girl? If you have a kind, come at me. β
The children who were bullying Xiao Nannan saw that Guo Haodong was tall and big, how dare they fight him, so they quickly let go of Xiao Nannan and cowered behind the child's head.
Xiao Nannan, who had been 'liberated', saw that the guests at home had come to help him, and immediately pleaded with Guo Haodong: "Big brother, help me get the box back." β
Guo Haodong just saw Xiao Nannan go out with the shoebox with his own eyes, and now that it is in the hands of the child's head, he knows what is going on.
"Give it to me." Guo Haodong took another step forward and stretched out his hand in front of the child's head.
How can the head of the child fall in front of these children? He immediately ordered the other children, "Help me teach this guy a lesson." β
However, those boys are just grass on the wall, they can obey the children to bully Nan Nan, who is weaker than them, but where dare to provoke Guo Haodong, who is stronger than them?
Although the children's heads had already given the order, they not only did not rush forward, but retreated.
When the child sees that his authority has failed, he can't help but be stupid.
Guo Haodong took a step further, touched the shoe box in the child's head, and unceremoniously grabbed the box, and then pushed the child's forehead with his other hand.
The child's head suddenly kicked and stared back a few steps, and then there was a heavy butt piercing.
None of the children dared to help him, and they scattered.
The child's head had to give up all his dignity at this time, and he didn't care about the pain of his buttocks, so he immediately got up and followed the other children's buttocks, and ran away...
Guo Haodong couldn't help but smile contemptuously at the backs of those children, and then leaned over the shoe box in his hand and handed it to Xiao Nannan.
Xiao Nannan couldn't help crying sadly when she saw that many of her favorite little stones in the box were gone...
"Nan Nan, don't cry, brother will help you find them back, okay?"
Xiao Nannan listened to Guo Haodong's persuasion, immediately wiped her tears, and nodded with satisfaction.
Guo Haodong is like this, accompanying Xiao Nannan to help pick up the small stones thrown out of the child's head one by one...
When he led Xiao Nannan back to her small courtyard, he found that Xiao Nannan's little face had been turned into a small flower face with tears and snot.
In order not to let his parents and her father see it, he used the tap in the small courtyard to help Xiao Nannan clean her little face.
At that time, Xiao Nannan was pampered and coaxed by Guo Haodong and felt extremely happy.
"Big brother, what's your name?" Xiao Nannan couldn't help but ask curiously when Guo Haodong helped her wipe her face.
"My name is Guo Haodong!"
"Oh, then I'll call you 'Brother Haodong' in the future, right?"
"Okay. Then I will call you 'Nan Nan' from now on. Guo Haodong said happily.
Xiao Nannan lost her mother's love since she was a child, and her father rarely accompanied her because of his busy work. This made her childhood extremely lonely. Now with Guo Haodong, I suddenly have a feeling of being favored for a long time.
She looked very attached at this time and said, "Brother Haodong, can you still come to my house to play in the future?" β
Guo Haodong obviously also liked this big-eyed little girl, so he nodded and said, "No problem." If my brother has time in the future, he will find Nan Nan to play. β
"That's great." Xiao Nannan said excitedly.
That day, when Guo Haodong went home with his parents, Xiao Nannan and Guo Haodong said goodbye reluctantly...
"Brother Haodong, Nan Nan misses you. You must have come to see me sooner. Xiao Nannan waited for Guo Haodong and his parents to go away in the car, and shouted after the back of the car.
