Tao Tang experienced Xu Deyu's pain in an instant. Compared to Xu Deyu, his loss of Fang Lan is not worth mentioning...... At least his parents are still alive, and his daughter is growing up healthy and happy, and this woman not only lost her brother and parents, but was also abandoned by her husband! I don't know how stoic she is to face this family photo more than 20 years ago...... What kind of comfort and strength did this group photo give her?

"Mr. Tao, please drink water...... Sit down......"

"Thank you......" Tao Tang sat down on the other side of the corner sofa, "Xiao Xu, can I take a look at your home?" ”

"Don't, it's too messy......" Xu Deyu hurriedly stopped.

"I can understand you, if I were me, I would have been a pigsty a long time ago...... I'm sorry, I mean, women are the pillars of the family......" Seeing the woman's flustered demeanor, Tao Tang sat down again.

Xu Deyu suddenly remembered that the man in front of him, who held the fate of tens of thousands of people in the company, was widowed...... She remembered what Lu Qi had told her, but she didn't know how to speak, and now she wanted him to leave quickly.

"I suddenly thought, I shouldn't actually recommend this set of books to you, it's not because the writing is not good, well, I don't know if you've read Gao Yang's book, I think the best one he wrote is "The Red-Top Merchant", and it's the first three, and the last four are almost meaningless...... Know what I mean? You should read a little bit of sunny, happy and comedic novels, this set of books is based on the decline of the Cao family, which is not suitable for you...... and "Dream of Red Mansions" is no different. ”

"Masterpieces are generally tragic ......"

"Yes. Because life is a tragedy, everyone is the hero of the tragedy. Tao Tang picked up the teacup and took a sip of boiling water, "So every child is born and cries, and many old people leave with a smile when they pass away...... I mean, we're all looking for our own share of happiness in a miserable world. For you, even more so. Wait until I recommend a few more books to you, this set of books is not suitable for you to read......"

"No, I love tragedy. It's true. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know......" Xu Deyu didn't understand why Tao Tang talked to her about this, in fact, no one talked to her about literature or life, never, "probably comedy-themed works are easier to forget......

"That's right! Oblivion! Learn to forget. Because forgetting is the greatest happiness, and memory is a kind of torment. ”

Xu Deyu didn't say anything. She thought, "You're right, memories are really tormenting. But what do I have but memory? ”

"Xiao Xu, apart from reading, what other hobbies do you have?"

"I don't have any hobbies...... Xu Deyu thought, in fact, reading is not a hobby, right? It was all about spending some lonely time.

"That's not good...... I don't have many hobbies, except for reading, I like sports, when I was young, I liked to play basketball and football, but now I can't do it, and I can't run badminton. Maybe it's time to practice table tennis...... Oh, and I still like to travel, and I don't go to the so-called tourist spots, just carry a camera and walk around. But there is no time. I think you probably don't have much outdoor activities......"

Xu Deyu still didn't say anything. Her problem is time, my problem is economics, she thought. Any hobby needs financial support, just like the original favorite of stamp collecting, I can only give up, just like visiting a bookstore now, more can only be seen.

"I know what you're thinking...... In fact, hobbies don't have to cost money. Just like reading, Mr. Qian Zhongshu once said, 'Books are not borrowed or read', and this is really the case, because they are borrowed, so they must be read quickly, even if it is a library book. The same is true of physical exercise, each of which brings the same result - physical fatigue and mental pleasure...... My wife died unexpectedly, and I hypnotized myself with high-intensity physical exercise, otherwise I would have lost sleep. As a result, my body is better than before. Running, biking, and taking long walks on Sundays don't cost anything. ”

"Thank you...... Maybe it's because of my personality, I don't like outdoor activities very much......" Xu Deyu thought, it turns out that men also lose sleep because of women.

"I can see it. So I brought you "Xu Xiake's Travels" on my own initiative. It's a book I really like, and it's a great treat to sit on my bedside and read a paragraph or two at any time. I don't know if you've seen it? ”

"Thanks, I really haven't seen it. However, my level of ancient Chinese is not good, and I am afraid that I will not be able to read it. ”

"Travelogue, it's probably okay to appreciate it, and it's not a scripture, you have to seek the correct understanding of every word. Follow in the footsteps of others and let your mind fly, is it fun? Tao Tang rarely dropped his book bag.

"Then I'll take a good look at ......"

"Don't read this kind of book with an exam-taking attitude. In my experience, some books are meant to be read roughly, and intensive reading loses the pleasure. Oh, and there is another book, I guess you will like it, it was written by an American, Walden, have you read it? ”

Xu Deyu was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I don't read many books......"

"A spiritual journey through the seclusion of an American who graduated from Harvard...... I also remembered it suddenly. It was a book I loved, not very long, but it was a good read. If you like it, you can read it, this time my family sent me a lot of books that I often read, and I have this book. ”

"I'll definitely take a look...... You've read so many books. ”

"It's not much. In the past few years, I have rarely read new books, and I always pick up old books and reread them, which is probably an inevitable process, and the books will become narrower and narrower the more I read......"

"I still like ...... in comparison"

"Try to change it! Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer good novels, probably because the pace of society is getting faster and faster, and readers are reluctant to sink their hearts into those readable works. Secondly, the author also has to eat, and he will not spend a few years or more than ten years to experience life and dig out materials like Liu Qing, Lu Yao and other older generation writers......"

"By the way, Brother Sun, is Sun Dunquan's affair over? The murderer has been found? I didn't go to see him, I should have goed, but I didn't...... I heard Sister Lu say that thanks to you, you took care of ......," Xu Deyu suddenly remembered Sun Dunquan.

"Have you read that book written by Lao Sun?"

"No...... I just heard about it......"

"The man was not caught. I guess it's hard to catch. Not every case can be solved, this matter is very complicated, but Lao Sun's book is attentive, you can take a look. Can I use the Internet at home? ”

"It's okay to ......" But Xu Deyu won't sue Tao Tang, she never spends money to read a book.

"You just talked about character. In fact, personality can be changed! In this world, there is nothing that cannot be changed! All we have to do is enjoy each day as much as possible without violating accepted morality. In fact, it is not easy for people to live for 30,000 days, and we not only have to face the pressure of work, but also suffer from diseases and various accidents, right? Let's get down to business, and I mean work. Tao Tang saw Xu Deyu's indifference, and the weak-looking woman dressed herself in a thick bulletproof vest, so she changed the subject.

"What's the arrangement, you say."

"It's not an arrangement, it's just a casual question, has the pamphlet been handed out? How many were printed? Tao Tang had already seen the pamphlet about the relocation of the Red Star that he had revised.

"A total of 10,000 copies were printed, and they were printed at the printing house of the labor company. According to the figures given by the Human Resources Department, all of them have been sent......"

Is there any reflection below? Well, I'm asking if anyone has called you? ”

"Yes, but not much. Maybe the calls were made to the ministers, right? I took a few, but I didn't ask about relocation, but about retired workers asking if they were going to renovate shantytowns next......"

"What did you say?"

"I said I don't know."

"You're right, I don't know. I don't know. I would love to do it, but the difficulties are great, not just the financial issues......"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Xu Deyu paused, because very few people came to her.

"Go open the door......" Tao Tang whispered.

Xu Deyu went to open the door, and it was a neighbor who lived opposite, a female worker who worked in the foam factory of the labor company.

"Ah, Deyu, do you have a guest......" The woman saw Tao Tang sitting on the sofa drinking water, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "You are Mr. Tao?" Is it really Mr. Tao? The woman recognized Tao Tang, she didn't talk to Tao Tang, but there were often images of Tao Tang in the factory, and she still recognized it at a glance.

"Yes, I'm Tao Tang." Tao Tang stood up, "Deyu, you greet the guests, I'll ...... go."

"Don't, sit down, I won't disturb you......" the woman said hurriedly.

"I'm sending a few books to Deyu. There's nothing else to do......" Tao Tang Dynasty walked to the door.

Xu Deyu didn't stay, "Then you slow down, the road is slippery......"

"It's okay......" Tao Tang had already gone out.

"Sister-in-law Lin, is there something wrong?" Closing the door, Xu Deyu asked the neighbor.

"Ah, it's really unfortunate, I didn't expect Mr. Tao to be in the ......" The fire of gossip in the woman's eyes was burning.

"I borrowed a few books from Mr. Tao, but I didn't expect him to deliver them in person. He was my brother's classmate......"

"I've heard of ...... Oh, look at me, what a good opportunity, I just came to ask you to plead with Mr. Tao, look at me, I don't know how to say it to my face......"

"Then you better go to his office and talk about it......"

"Oh, how dare I, besides, I can't enter someone's door...... Deyu, isn't my Xiaofei working in Yanjing? No, the money he earned is not enough for him to rent a house, let alone buy a house in Yanjing and get married. You know what little income I have from Brother Lin...... finally made sense and agreed to return to the factory, but Ren Lao said that only undergraduate graduates were accepted, and he was a junior college...... I heard that Mr. Tao takes good care of you, so you can help your sister-in-law with this, Mr. Tao will say a word, and the matter will be ......"

Xu Deyu was very embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse. She didn't like this woman and thought she had a bad mouth. But Lin Shuisheng, who lives opposite, that is, the woman's husband, is a rare good person, and he has helped her many times, such as repairing a faucet and other work, which is troublesome......

"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to Mr. Tao, but it may not work. I know that Mr. Tao is very principled, and it is not easy for him to do it if he does not meet the regulations......" Xu Deyu remembered an incident that he shouted recently, Tao Tang's nephew Tao Youdao built a garage, and Tao Tang forced it to be demolished......

"You said it would work! What do you mean by principle? It's not a matter of Mr. Tao's words? Xiaofei doesn't want a good job, just arrange a management position, even if you go to the workshop in the development zone......" The woman thought, who is Tao Tang? Whose door will it go to?

"Let's talk about entering the factory first...... Sister-in-law Lin, I really can't guarantee it. (To be continued.) )
