The afternoon sun slanted into the ward, and although it was icy and snowy outside, it was warm as spring inside. Lao Zhao is about to be discharged from the hospital one day, he sat on the hospital bed and looked at a pot of begonias placed on the windowsill, the crystal begonia flowers are red like rouge under the sun, Lao Zhao, who usually likes to fiddle with some flowers and plants, was attracted by this pot of vibrant begonia flowers, he remembered that he put in the office for seven or eight years to raise the arrow lotus was not destroyed in the fire is really lucky, his first task after being discharged from the hospital tomorrow is to water this pot of arrow lotus, and then let Gui Fang also buy a pot of begonia flowers for himself. Lao Zhao, who had already died once, really realized that he still hadn't lived enough! He regretted his stupid suicidal act. But how do you live after being discharged from the hospital? Lao Zhao himself didn't know, he walked to the window and looked out blankly. A knock on the door outside the ward interrupted Lao Zhao's thoughts.

"Come in." Lao Zhao said weakly with his back to the door. As soon as the door was opened, he heard Gui Fang's loud laughter; "Hah! Dad, we see you're here! ”

"Just look at it, what are you happy about?" Lao Zhao turned around as he spoke, he was stunned as soon as he turned around, how could there be Wang Yunqing among the people who came in with Gui Fang and Hongxing! He couldn't believe his eyes, and after rubbing his eyes vigorously, he finally saw that it was Wang Yunqing.

"Sir, why are you here?" Lao Zhao hurriedly got up from the hospital bed and bowed to Wang Yunqing.

Wang Yunqing politely said to Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, this is a new society, your name for me should also be changed, if others hear it, they should scold me for being a stinky exploiting class!" ”

"Yes. Master. Lao Zhao is used to it, and his name for Wang Yunqing can't be changed for a while.

"Your Guifang is my daughter-in-law, what kind of system do you call my master? It's better to call it in-laws. ”

"Yes, it's called in-laws. But I'm not worthy to be your in-laws! I'm a despicable villain, I'm sorry for the Wang family, especially for you! Lao Zhao lowered his head embarrassedly and said.

"Hey! We are in-laws, and there is no need to mention the previous things again! ”

At this time, Wang Hongxing handed Lao Zhao a dim sum box, "This is what my old man personally bought for you." It's your favorite beef tongue cake. Wang Hongxing put the snack box on the bedside table.

"I didn't expect that! I still remember that I love to eat beef tongue cakes! Lao Zhao's tears flowed out uncontrollably, in fact, Wang Yunqing didn't say a few words, but this box of dim sum conveyed a signal of reconciliation and forgiveness. Lao Zhao was completely impressed by Wang Yunqing's generosity and benevolence. I remembered what I had done before. He felt that he was too small and shameful in front of Wang Yunqing. He was ashamed, remorseful, and blamed himself, he choked and knelt down in front of Wang Yunqing, slapped his face vigorously with his hand, and said, "Master, you don't care about villains a lot. I'm not a good person by comparison! I'm damned! I'm ashamed of you! ”

Wang Hongxing saw that his father-in-law knelt down for his father and wanted to step forward to help Lao Zhao. Gui Fang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't move." My dad was truly repentant. So he felt better. ”

Wang Yunqing stepped forward and gently helped Lao Zhao up with his hand: "What are you doing here?" Don't talk about the past again! Your body hasn't recovered yet, take care! ”

Lao Zhao asked Wang Yunqing: "Are you really an adult who doesn't care about villains?" Have you forgiven me? ”

Wang Yunqing said with emotion: "Lao Zhao, I work in the Literature and History Research Office. Several of his colleagues were former Kuomintang officials, and they now work for New China, and the government is not guilty of their past. Compared to them, a personal vendetta between you and me is nothing at all. ”

Wang Yunqing pointed at Gui Fang again and said: "I came to see you today to give Gui Fang an explanation, at the beginning, our Wang family did not agree to Hongxing marrying Gui Fang, and there were many twists and turns during this period. But I'm going to tell you now that our Wang family has accepted Gui Fang as a daughter-in-law, Gui Fang's child is very lovely, and I will treat her as my own girl. ”

Gui Fang and Wang Hongxing were very happy to hear Wang Yunqing say this, and Lao Zhao also had a smile on his face.

Wang Yunqing left not long after visiting Lao Zhao this time, and he didn't say anything superfluous, but his visit made Lao Zhao's mood much better, anyway, no matter how he faced life in the future, the Wang family's forgiveness of Lao Zhao gave him great spiritual comfort.

After Lao Zhao was discharged from the hospital, he had no place to live, so he temporarily lived in an office left in the printing house. The landlord heard that Lao Zhao had been discharged from the hospital and came to him early the next morning.

Lao Zhao knew that the landlord was not good at looking for him this time, so he carefully accompanied the smiling face. The landlord looked at the yard that had been burned by the fire in distress, and he asked Lao Zhao with a straight face to rebuild all the burned houses as they were in a short period of time. Lao Zhao said to the landlord with a bitter face that he had suffered great losses, and he still owed a lot of debts outside, and he had no money to repair the entire courtyard for the time being, so he begged the landlord to give him more grace. The landlord didn't agree, he pulled his face and said, "Lao Zhao, I'll give you two months to deal with it, and the rent you should pay must be paid on time, and no one will be missing." If you exceed that deadline, we'll see you in court! After he finished speaking, he didn't want to listen to Lao Zhao's begging, and left with a scolding and scolding.

In fact, this landlord is a wine and meat friend that Lao Zhao met in the business field, and when he has nothing to drink, the buddies are very affectionate, but when Lao Zhao has an accident, he immediately turns his face, and he doesn't mean anything at all, which makes Lao Zhao, who has nothing to do, even more depressed. During dinner, Wang Hongxing and his wife came to see Lao Zhao, they took Lao Zhao to eat in a restaurant outside, during the dinner, Gui Fang saw his father listless, tea and rice did not think about it, so he smiled and put his mouth to Lao Zhao's ear and said a few words, Lao Zhao opened his mouth in surprise and did not close it for a long time.

It turned out that Wang Yunqing decided to help Lao Zhao and others. One is to pay for the rebuilding of the burned house. The second is to invest in the Lihua Printing Factory to rebuild it, and the third is to use the West Cross Courtyard where his family's original servants lived as the new site of the printing house free of charge.

The decision to help Lao Zhao was made by Wang Yunqing after careful consideration, and he told Mrs. Wang his idea, but Mrs. Wang did not agree at first, she thought that the family had some money. But that was an asset left over from before liberation, and now there is no rent to eat. You can rely on your salary to maintain various living expenses, but you can't save too much money, and your previous family money will move a little less, and it will be gone when it is used up.

Mrs. Wang said: "Old man, it doesn't matter if our children lose some money, anyway, we will protect them!" They can't stand much grievance. That Lao Zhao is not our family after all, whether he loses money or makes money, it has nothing to do with our family, what do you care about him? ”

Wang Yunqing also has his own reasoning, he enlightened his wife and said: "Money is something that life does not bring and death does not take away." My salary is relatively high and it is paid to you every month. Shuzhen also pays you living expenses every month, which alone is enough for our family's daily expenses. Besides, I now work in the government department, and I have a monthly pension for my retirement, and my medical expenses are reimbursed by the unit when I see a doctor. There are all kinds of benefits. What do we do with so much money? Now Lao Zhao is in great difficulty. Our children are shareholders in the factory and have to bear the corresponding responsibilities, and this mess cannot be cleaned up by Lao Zhao alone. When we help Lao Zhao, we are also helping our own children. Of course, the money is not for nothing. It was lent to them. In the future, they will be able to make more money by restoring the factory, and they will pay us back when they make money. When our son is rich, he will honor his parents more, and we won't be able to suffer a loss after all! ”

Regardless of whether his wife agrees or not, anyway, Wang Yunqing feels that he has done the right thing, he must insist on doing so, and no one can change his mind.

Although she did not approve of it, Mrs. Wang, who had been a husband and wife all her life, had to obey her husband's advice in the end. She said helplessly: "Anyway, it's always you who are justified when we talk about it, this time, I still can't say you, come on, just do it according to your ideas!" So Wang Yunqing told his son, daughter-in-law and Shuzhen about this idea.

Lao Zhao was surprised when he learned that Wang Yunqing wanted to help him, and shouted: "I can't think of it!" Unexpected! He really never dreamed that Wang Yunqing would selflessly lend a hand to him, he pinched the flesh on his thigh with his hand, and only after feeling the pain did he know that he was not dreaming. After that, he poured himself a glass of white wine, raised his neck and drank it dry, he said with emotion: "My good in-laws, you rescued Lao Zhao from the dire situation!" I don't deserve you to do this to me! Lao Zhao, who was desperate for life, actually fell on the dinner table and cried loudly like a child! His cry contained gratitude to Wang Yunqing and deep repentance for the unkind and unjust things he had done before. The other customers in the restaurant looked at him strangely. There are also some people who complain that Lao Zhao, who cries loudly, affects their mood when eating.

While Gui Fang and Hongxing explained and apologized to the customers next to them, they kept persuading Lao Zhao to stop crying.

Under the persuasion of his daughter and son-in-law, Lao Zhao stopped crying, he wiped his tears and said: "It is said that the stone will not hit the foot when it lands, and there will be nobles to help you then." Looks like my life is really good! I feel like I've been reborn again, and I'm going to be a new person! If I can't do a printing shop again, I'm sorry for the people who helped me! ”。

"Dad, it's not your fate, it's my father-in-law's good character, and it's his help regardless of his previous suspicions that you can survive in a desperate situation. If he doesn't care about us, that rock will have to smash your feet. ”

"Not bad! Gui Fang said yes! The lord is a good man! Lao Zhao's kung fu was like a different person for a while, and his bitter face became radiant.

Wang Hongxing, who had not spoken, opened his mouth: "Gui Fang, if you don't marry into our family as a daughter-in-law, can my father help you like this?" Your father and daughter have said so much, why don't you thank me for a single word? ”

Gui Fang stabbed Wang Hongxing Hongxing: "What's the matter, you have also learned to play poor now?" ”

Lao Zhao hurriedly said: "Gui Fang, how can you meet such a good family if you don't marry Hongxing?" Thank you so much! ”

"If it weren't for the success of the beauty plan you designed at the beginning, how could I become the son-in-law of the Zhao family!" Wang Hongxing teased Lao Zhao.

"Hey! Which pot are you not opening and mentioning! Lao Zhao was said by Wang Hongxing with a big red face.

Gui Fang clicked on Wang Hongju's head and said, "Do you talk to your father-in-law like this?" Three glasses of wine in a while! ”

Wang Hongxing said with a smile: "I'm happy today, don't talk about three glasses of wine, even if I give me another bottle of wine, I can drink it dry!" ”

Gui Fang said: "Come, I'm happy today, if you want to drink, drink it!" I'll fill you two with wine! ”

The three of them were talking and laughing and drinking wine at the dinner table, and their mood that had been suppressed for a while was finally relaxed. (To be continued......)
