Chapter 290: Pain in the depths of memory
In Zuo Jiang's memory of his previous life, his grandfather's seventy was very beautiful, but he didn't have anything to do. Uncle Li Zhiguo was the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City, Central Plains Province at that time, the second uncle Li Yuguo was the director of the East China Provincial Department of Communications, and the aunt Li Shuxian was the deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Tianyang City, which was adjacent to Zhongzhou City, where the uncle served. They are not lukewarm to Zuo Zheng, in their minds, the railway is like a rural production team, not a cadre of the regular sequence of the state, and Zuo Zheng was removed from his post and assigned to the school because of the "7, 27" major accident, Li Dalun's 70th birthday They did not notify him at all, and his father Li Shuyuan also called her to let her go when her grandmother saw that she did not come that day, and after she went, she was angry, Li Shuyuan didn't say anything at the birthday banquet, and when she returned home, she lay on the bed and cried, and the sad cry made Zuo Jiang's heart tremble.
Liaodong Railway Bureau is the merger of Liaodong, Jincheng, Songjiang three railways, is the country's largest railway bureau, although now Zuo Zheng is at the department level, but there is news that the Ministry of Railways is ready to Jinghua and Liaodong two large railway bureaus to raise half a level, to the vice-ministerial level units, if the situation is true, Zuo Zheng will soon become a vice-ministerial-level official, undoubtedly squeezed into the national high-level cadre sequence, extremely snobbish Li Zhiguo and Li Yuguo can personally call this time to invite Zuo Zheng's family to participate in it is also normal, because Zuo Jiang's rebirth changed the fate of his father Zuo Zheng, It also improved his social status.
What makes Zuo Jiang even more intolerable is that they don't even care about the life or death of their siblings, and they are cold-blooded to the point of outrageousness. At that time, Zuo Jiang's grandparents passed away one after another, his father Zuo Zheng was also depressed because of the accident, he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at the age of fifty-one, and his mother Li Shuyuan also fell ill because of a series of blows, Zuo Jiang was in the critical period of the third year of high school, in order to treat his mother, and finally even sold the family's house, Zuo Jiang had to take care of his mother while going to school, when the money from selling the house was exhausted, Zuo Jiang had to ask his uncle, second uncle and aunt for help, and when Zuo Jiang called to borrow money, the attitude of the three people was good, said to Zhang Luo, and then called and said that the children go to school, employment and marriage or something now really have no money in their hands, and finally they simply didn't even answer Zuo Jiang's phone, Li Shuyuan couldn't get timely treatment without money, and finally died, Zuo Jiang hated the garbage of these three human faces and beasts, and cut off all contact with them, and later Li Shuxian's conscience found that when he wanted to pay tribute to his sister Li Shuyuan, Zuo Jiang didn't let her see the ashes of her parents.
Of course, this happened in the previous life, it is very normal for the uncle to find Zuo Zheng to celebrate his grandfather's seventieth birthday, two uncles and an aunt are working in other places, and they usually don't have much contact, and Zuo Zheng can't feel how they are, after all, it is something that has not happened now, and the deep pain in Zuo Jiang's soul cannot be erased.
Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, is Li Zhiguo still the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City?" "My mother's uncle is big, but Zuo Jiang didn't say uncle but called him by his name, because in his heart, he didn't deserve the word uncle at all.
Zuo Zheng said: "Xiao Jiang, why are you so ignorant, how can you call your uncle's name directly!" ”
"......" Zuo Jiang was silent.
Zuo Zhengleng paused, and did not blame Zuo Jiang again, but said: "Your uncle took another step forward at the beginning of this year, and now he has become the executive vice mayor of Zhongzhou City, and his future is very promising." Your second uncle is not in the East China Provincial Department of Transportation now, but sent to Donghua City as the director of the transportation bureau, belongs to the real power faction, your aunt is now also right, become the director of the industrial and commercial bureau of Tianyang City, he said, he has not come back to visit his parents for several years, this time just by taking advantage of his father's 70th birthday, the whole family came back to celebrate the New Year together. ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, you have just become the new director of the Liaodong Railway, the Spring Festival is the busiest period for the railway, can you get out?" ”
Zuo Zheng said: "If you can't get rid of your body, you have to squeeze time, your grandfather's seventieth birthday must participate in no matter what, I have to come back to duty in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, if there is nothing important in the first and second days of junior high school, I will go back, after all, your uncle and they have come back from afar, and I have to accompany them when I have time." ”
Zuo Jiang suddenly remembered his most displeasing uncle's eldest son Li Zhengyang, relying on his old son is the deputy mayor to open a company in Zhongzhou, a few stinky money I don't know who I am, flying all day long, because my grandfather's seventieth birthday mother Li Shuyuan didn't know in advance, he went in a hurry and didn't prepare, and he didn't pay for the birthday banquet, so he sneered at his mother, so angry that Li Shuyuan almost shed tears at the birthday banquet, of course, this was all heard secretly by Zuo Jiang when his mother chatted with his father when the birthday banquet came.
Thinking of this, Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, I heard that Li Zhiguo's eldest son Li Zhengyang opened a company in Zhongzhou, and it is said that he earned a few dollars by virtue of Li Zhiguo's relationship?" ”
"Ugh!" Zuo Zheng almost choked when he heard Zuo Jiang call his uncle's name like this again, thinking to himself what happened to Zuo Jiang today, how did he have a grudge against his uncle, why was he so disobedient? I wanted to say a few words about Zuo Jiang, but I endured it and still didn't say it, after all, Zuo Jiang was no longer a child in the traditional sense in his eyes. So he said: "When your uncle called, he mentioned to me, saying that your son Li Zhengyang had set up a grain and oil import and export company, and the effect has always been good, but the transportation of grain wagons from the north to the south is too nervous, let me take care of it, and tell me specifically when I come." ”
"Oh!" There must be demons in it! Zuo Jiang listened to Zuo Zheng's words and thought, I said, why is Li Zhiguo so concerned about his grandfather's 70th birthday, it turns out that this is the case! People like them can ask you to go forward, but if they can't ask for you, they don't bird you, and now they ask for their father's head, and they are enthusiastic about their father.
Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, when will you be home the day after tomorrow?" ”
Zuo Zheng said: "I can't say for sure now, but I won't be able to get home until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the earliest." ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, what do you have to prepare for grandpa's seventieth birthday, it just so happens that I have time these days, I will help you prepare." ”
Zuo Zheng said: "Your uncle said that he would let Li Zhengyang go to Tongjiang in advance to arrange the birthday banquet, saying that the money was all paid by him and your second uncle, so there was no need for your aunt's family and our family, I didn't want to arrange a banquet It didn't cost much, so I didn't fight with him, but how can we prepare a gift for your grandfather's 70th birthday, but now I haven't thought about what to give your grandfather." ”
Zuo Jiang thought for a while and said: "Dad, I brought back two Rolex starry watches from the United States this time, which are all gold and diamonds, and I originally wanted to give you a piece and I will keep one piece, so give my one to grandpa as a birthday gift!" ”
Zuo Zheng asked, "Xiao Jiang, such a watch is very expensive, right?" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "It's not very expensive, it's worth more than 300,000 yuan!" ”
"Ahh Zuo Zheng was very surprised when he heard that a watch cost more than 300,000 yuan, he thought about it and said: "Xiao Jiang, let's do it, you keep your piece and give my piece to your grandfather, it's not appropriate for me to wear a watch of more than 300,000 yuan for a railway director!" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Dad, don't fight with me, I will often go to the United States in the future, and I will buy another piece myself!" ”
At this time, Zuo Jiang heard the sound of a car downstairs, and knew that it must be his mother Li Shuyuan who was back, so he said to Zuo Zheng: "Dad, my mother is back, you wait a minute, I'll let my mother talk to you." ”
"Okay!" Zuo Zheng said.
Zuo Jiang put the phone on the table, went out and went downstairs, when he went down to the hall on the first floor, Li Shuyuan happened to walk in with a big bag, Sun Qiaomei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Aunt Li, you are back!" He took what she was holding.
Li Shuyuan said: "Qiaomei, that big bag contains Xiao Jiang's favorite pineapple wood grilled sausage, you can cut more in a while, so that Xiao Jiang can eat enough!" ”
Sun Qiaomei agreed with a smile, and walked into the kitchen with her things. Only then did Zuo Jiang step forward and grab Li Shuyuan's arm and say, "Mom, you came back so quickly!" Come with me, Daddy is waiting to talk to you!" ”
As soon as Li Shuyuan heard Zuo Zheng's call, she followed Zuo Jiang to the second floor, the day after tomorrow, her father's seventieth birthday, she still had some things to discuss with Zuo Zheng, and when she entered Zuo Jiang's room, she picked up the phone and talked to Zuo Zheng.
Zuo Jiang saw his mother talking to his father, so he opened another big suitcase, most of the things he bought for Li Shuyuan, this time he bought for his mother is very complete, from studying necklaces and expensive fashion, to brand-name leather shoes and leather bags, everything Zuo Jiang can think of He bought back, took out the gifts he bought for Bai Xiaoyi at the end of the big suitcase and put it aside, and then dragged the big suitcase to Li Shuyuan's side.
When Li Shuyuan put down the phone, Zuo Jiang pointed to the open big suitcase and said, "Mom, these are all gifts I bought for you in the United States, do you like it!" ”
"Ahh Li Shuyuan was very surprised when she saw that her son had bought such a thing for herself, she was very happy to reach out and look at the things in the box, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. At this time, Zuo Jiang reached out and took out the box containing the diamond necklace, opened the lid of the box and handed it to her eyes and said, "Mom, you see this is the diamond necklace I bought for you!" ”
