Sang Qing's decoration company opened, Long Dan specially asked the well-known painter Wang Zengxiang to paint an eight-foot painting, a flower and bird painting representing the auspicious and prosperous birds, and asked someone to frame it and send it over. Sang Qing smiled at his subordinates and said: "Brother, I knew that you would send me paintings, most of the gifts from others are 100 yuan in cash, and there are also 500 yuan, and you are the big brother who can be generous and not cheesy, this painting is not cheap", Long Dan smiled: "You have already guessed the feelings, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't send the paintings?" This drawing is auspicious, and the money that is not rich comes second, as long as the little sister is happy."

Sang Qing said: "Brother, you sit down and drink tea first, and when I finish entertaining the guests, I will talk to you, you are not allowed to leave, I will have something to discuss with you later", Long Dan smiled and said: "Of course I won't leave, I gave you a gift, how can I leave without eating your meal, won't I lose a lot of money?" "Brother, you still care about eating and drinking," Sang Qing glanced at Long Dan and said jokingly. Long Dan also jokingly said: "Don't look at me as a leading cadre, it's not easy for others to invite me, but if my sister invites me to dinner, I usually start not eating three days ago, and I'm going to eat you a big meal and get back some money to go back", Sang Qing smiled and went out to entertain guests.

After a while, Sang Qing came back and said to Long Dan: "Can you accompany me to the provincial capital tomorrow?" Long Dan asked puzzledly: "You just opened a business?" Still going to the provincial capital? "Even if it's business, one of my classmates gave me a door and window decoration project for an office building, and I don't know the bottom of my heart, so it's best for you to accompany me on a trip, and I'm so relieved," Sang Qing explained. As soon as Long Dan heard it, he agreed without saying a word: "Don't say it's okay tomorrow, even if it's important, I'll leave it behind, and I'll accompany you to talk about business first", Sang Qing heard this, and immediately said happily: "I knew that my brother would promise me, I'll drink a few more drinks with you in a while, thank you for your help first", Long Dan said: "You just take care of others, it's rude to snub a visitor, I don't have to accompany you here, I'll look around, you go get busy." Long Dan sent Sang Qing out and admired it in Sang Qing's office.

Sang Qing's office is very brightly decorated, and the walls in the living room are full of decorative doors and windows samples, at first glance, it looks like a passage leading to the distance, and the background behind the doors and windows samples is an endless sky. Under the world, there are many flowers and plants, think about it, it seems that a fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, maybe Sang Qing really sprinkled perfume, Long Dan smelled a strange fragrance of flowers. Long Dan pondered: "A woman is a woman, even the office is like a bedroom, and you can know that the boss is a woman at a glance."

Long Dan admired it for a while, and the guests came, basically they came who should have come, and those who shouldn't have come came, Long Dan looked at Sang Qing faintly unhappy, and he didn't care about it and came to the hotel with the guests.

Sang Qing opened, and others gave gifts, so Sang Qing had no choice but to treat people in the hotel and thank everyone. Long Dan didn't say much at the wine table, many people didn't know each other, and it was not easy to say anything, so he hurriedly ate some food, didn't drink much wine, and hurriedly went back.

The next day, Long Dan drove to Sang Qing's decoration company, and Sang Qing was already waiting in the office. The two got into the car and went straight to the provincial capital. On the way, Long Dan asked: "Sang Qing, yesterday was the day you opened, why do you seem to be a little unhappy?" Sang Qing explained: "Brother, there were a lot of people yesterday, and I was not embarrassed to tell you in detail, it's like this, a few of them are my suitors, and I don't know how they knew that I opened the business, and they all came to give gifts, and I didn't want them to go, so I was not happy", Long Dan said jokingly: "It seems that my sister is indeed loved by everyone, I think it is better to find a suitable one to marry, or the rose seller at your door will make a fortune." Sang Qing tilted his head, looked at Long Dan and said, "Okay, brother will introduce me to one" "Say, what are the conditions?" Long Dan drove the car and said without squinting. Sang Qing said: "The conditions, it's not easy to say, it's better to look for it than my brother."

When Long Dan heard this, he was shocked, and immediately guessed that Sang Qing might be interesting to him. Long Dan also knew that he valued Sang Qing very much, but he was already married, and it was absolutely impossible for him to have something happen to Sang Qing. Only pretending to be confused: "I can't do it like this, how can I be married, it's better to find a young one", Sang Qing looked at Long Dan pretending to be confused, so he didn't dwell on it anymore, leaned on the co-pilot's seat, and looked ahead thoughtfully, Long Dan glanced at Sang Qing outside, shook his head slightly, and continued to concentrate on driving.

"Who are you? Who are you? ......" A mobile phone rang, Long Dan subconsciously picked up the mobile phone: "Hey, ......" because he didn't look at the caller ID, just about to speak, he heard his mother's voice: "Fourth, come back soon, your dad can't do it......" Long Dan stopped the car with one foot, at this time Sang Qing was sleeping in the passenger seat in a daze, and when he parked the car, Sang Qing's head suddenly touched the windshield, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”。

Long Dan froze, his face was stern, and he said: "Little sister, I'm sorry, my dad is critically ill, I can't go to the provincial capital with you", Sang Qing heard it, and said with concern: "Then I won't go either, will I go home with you?" "Don't, it's useless for you to go back, I'll intercept a bus for you later, and I'll go back when you get on it" Long Dan pondered: What is the matter with you following me home? So, Long Dan got off the bus and intercepted a long-distance bus, sent Sang Qing to the car, drove the car himself, and rushed back home in a hurry.

Back at home, the family gathered around his father's bed, whispering, seeing Long Dan come back, he gave Long Dan a place, Long Dan rushed forward, held his father's hand, and tears flowed down.

Long Dan cried and muttered: "Dad, it's because I didn't take care of you", my father was speechless, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to say: "I don't blame you, it's my own life limit, you don't have to be sad."

Long Dan's father suffered from cerebral thrombosis in the early years, and after being rescued, he left a little sequelae, that is, his left leg was a little lame, but it did not affect his life. According to the doctor's instructions, Long Dan's father quit smoking and drinking.

But his father, who quit smoking and drinking, was depressed all day long, and then he smoked cigarettes helplessly, no matter how the family persuaded him, Long Dan's father always refused to quit cigarettes. Long Dan also persuaded him many times, but his father just didn't listen, so Long Dan had to buy some better cigarettes for his father to send to his father every month, which was also considered to be filial piety.

However, the cigarettes sent by Long Dan were secretly taken to the store by his father, and he still came back with some low-grade cigarettes. Later, when Long Dan found out, he was very angry and sternly said to his father a few times, but his father always smiled and said: "You don't understand, I smoke just to be not lonely, what are I doing smoking such good cigarettes." Long Dan was also helpless, so he had to rely on his father's temperament, and he couldn't say anything anymore.

Long Dan's mother can also drink, although she doesn't let her father drink, her mother can also drink some liquor, so the eldest brother and the second brother still give their mother 10 catties of liquor every month. Long Dan didn't stop sending a little better liquor to his home, but Long Dan found that the more he sent wine to his home, the less wine he had at home, so he asked his mother: "Mom, you have a lot of alcohol, why can you drink so much at home, and dozens of catties a month are not enough?" Mother said: "Although your two elder brothers are filial piety to 10 catties of liquor every month, but the two of them often come here to eat, and they don't have a good meal to drink, these dozens of catties of wine are really not enough for them to drink", Long Dan saw his mother say this, and he did not doubt him.

However, once, his father's illness was committed again, and Long Dan hurriedly sent his father to the hospital, and after rescue, he was no longer in serious trouble. However, the doctor's words surprised Long Dan. The doctor said: "Your patient's family is really irresponsible, the patient has a cerebral thrombosis, and he is the most afraid of liquor, but the patient's blood alcohol concentration is very high, obviously he has just drunk a lot of liquor" "Impossible? Long Dan was also suspicious. After his father recovered and returned home, Long Dan asked his father again and again, and his father told the truth.

It turned out that Long Dan's father had never quit liquor at all, and he was secretly drinking it, but no one found out. Therefore, it caused a second recurrence of the disease.

Knowing what happened, the family held a family meeting to discuss the father's abstinence from drinking. However, my father resolutely disagreed with the abstinence from drinking, even if it was death, and said: "I have suffered since I was a child, I participated in the revolution when I was young, and when I fought Japan, I almost took my life several times, am I still afraid of death?" After liberation, I have been tired of eating and crying for decades, and this life is all good, and my mind is over, and there is nothing to worry about. I know that I can't drink alcohol because of my illness, and drinking alcohol will lead to a recurrence of my condition, so maybe I'll go to see Hades one day. But now I don't do anything, it's like waiting at home to die. If I don't drink and smoke some cigarettes, I won't be alive."

Since then, the family saw that his father was resolute, and they only tried to persuade him to drink less, and never asked his father to quit drinking.

Although Long Dan sent his father to the hospital and invited the best doctor, he failed to save his father's life after all, and ten days later, his father died with a smile without a trace of regret.

The death of his father gave Long Dan a big blow, and since then, Long Dan, who was originally very able to speak, has become less talkative. There are fewer socials to go out to participate, and the things that can be done by your subordinates are handled as much as possible. He seems to have become an otaku, except for sometimes helping Sang Qing do something, Long Dan spends his days on the Internet and rarely goes out.

In addition, Long Dan went home more often, at least once a week, and wanted to move his mother to live in the city, but his mother was not used to living in the city, so Long Dan had to give up.
