Seeing that the old clothes that Zhiyuan took off yesterday were on the ground, Gui Ying picked up the dirty clothes basket that he threw into the room, lifted the clothes and went around the bed, and found that there were things in the pockets. When I opened it, it was the supermarket's dismissal of Zhiyuan. Gui Ying was nervous, quickly stuffed it into her pocket, left her clothes in place, wiped her sweat, and then pretended to be okay and took out the socks she needed for a business trip from the closet. It's Monday again, taking advantage of the old man's time to send the children to school, the couple discussed quietly and silently packing up the boxes for the business trip, Zhiyuan took the daily necessities, and Gui Ying packed the clothes, but they didn't expect to clean up this matter.

The old horse came back with breakfast, and when he came home, he saw the box standing at the door of their house, and knew that Gui Yingtie was going to go on a business trip today. Gui Ying's temperament has always been hard, he understands.

"Zhiyuan, your original job was good, but it's really not cooperative... Move the relationship, give gifts, socialize, pick up your own work, how good it is to be a teacher. The three of them had breakfast together, and the old horse suddenly made a peaceful suggestion from the bottom of his heart.

When Gui Ying heard this, she closed her eyes and raised her head, sighed and sighed, slapped the table and shouted, "Don't let people eat!" Yesterday you asked him to quit his job, he quit, and now you let him be a teacher, is he running a school? Is it that easy to be a teacher? ”

The old horse, who was full of meat buns, was almost choked by such a roar, and his cheeks puffed out and coughed several times. A plain and homely sentence has become a good fire again. Zhiyuan hurriedly brought a glass of water to the old man, and then complained to Guiying: "Dad, what are you doing!" ”

"I just quit my job yesterday, and I'm looking for a job today, who can stand it! Isn't it okay to let people slow down and be quiet? Seeing that the old man was so angry that his face was flushed and he kept coughing, Gui Ying turned around and slipped away first. On the way, I remembered that Zhiyuan was dismissed and panicked to resign, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.

Lao Ma choked so much just now, he almost squirted out a mouth full of buns, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, most of the buns were swallowed, and a few stars choked into his nose. The old man left the table and went to the bathroom to blow his nose, and only came out after blowing something and washing his face, and sighed.

Zhiyuan finished cleaning up the table and entered the house, as soon as he entered the room, he quietly closed the door and went straight to Gui Ying, sat on the edge of the bed and said with a slightly serious smile: "My dear, I will discuss it with you." In the future, Dad doesn't care what I do, can you listen calmly, don't talk back after listening, it will naturally pass. You see that Dad was obviously casual just now, and you reacted so much, making him so angry! ”

"You're too weak in front of him!" Gui Ying hugged her chest and got angry.

"That'...... Am I strong in front of you? Zhiyuan pretended to be aggrieved and glared at Gui Ying.

The couple stalemate for a few seconds, and Gui Ying couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not angry, why are you angry!" Zhiyuan made a grimace to tease his wife, not wanting her to be sick and angry and cause stomach pain.

"I'm just angry with you!" Gui Ying sighed.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, and you're not on a business trip? Still working or not working? Zhiyuan put his arm around Gui Ying's shoulders and comforted her.

Gui Ying tilted her head and grinned, and the couple continued to pack the box.

At half past ten, the phone to deliver the express made a call to Lao Ma's mobile phone, it turned out that Xingsheng sent two snakeskin bags of sweet corn and three boxes of winter dates, Zhiyuan just used a trolley to pull up more than 100 catties of things, and Xingsheng's phone also came. The old horse listened to the phone while looking through the things that had been sent.

"Is the bag of corn broken?" Xingsheng asked his father.

"No, it's fine. You've sent a lot, where can you finish eating! The old horse squatted on the ground and peeled a piece of corn with one hand to see if this year's grains were full.

"This year's corn cob prices are average, so I kept a good one. Bao Gu has buds, which can be put dozens of them, so that the dolls can eat them slowly! Oh, by the way, the price of these two peanuts has gone up again, to four or five yuan! ”

"Oh, who's the winter date? Where do you get so much? ”

Xingxing sent it, and her family planted several acres of winter dates this year. After seeing her mother-in-law some time ago, she pulled some of her winter dates over when they were ripe and gave them to our family to taste. As soon as the winter dates came yesterday, I immediately sent them to Shenzhen. There are also three or four catties of sun-dried acacia flowers in it, which were made by the second aunt. ”

"Oh, oh, see! Oops, Yingying's family has people who eat, but people who don't do it! Who will steam acacia flowers! The old horse rubbed the dried acacia flowers and was worried.

"Don't worry, that can be put. Great, did my brother call you recently? I called him when I mailed it, but no one answered! These two have not been answered. Xingsheng scratched his cheeks and wondered.

"Busy, huh...... Your brother has disposed of his factory and is busy putting the finishing touches on it. The old horse's eyebrows drooped.

"Is Yingying well?"

"Okay, okay, I'm going on a business trip today! She has a temperament like a finch and has a temper like a wild boar, who can control her! The old horse muttered under his breath.

After the old man stretched his face, Gui Ying, who was sticking out his ears and eavesdropping on the phone next door, saw that his old father described himself in his hometown dialect, and laughed in his belly, and couldn't hold back and hurriedly ran to the bathroom, hid in the toilet and laughed for a long time, laughing until his stomach throbbed and he didn't dare to laugh. With this smile, the depressed qi of the number was instantly enlightened.

At half past ten o'clock in the morning, on the thirteenth floor of Xinhui Building, in the large conference room with the window open to the north, the oval table with a diameter of 20 meters sat around the company's big leaders, and the old employees of the company sat on several rows of chairs densely packed on the east and west sides...... Black pressed two hundred people.

This is the last mobilization meeting before the opening of the 38th Anke Exhibition. It was Joden who was speaking at the moment, and his generous speech fell into the ears of a silent audience, everyone bowed their heads, was in a daze, played with their pens, and thought about it...... All of them showed a different look on their faces.

On the shelf on the south side of the large conference room, the large lattice is placed in the large medal of honor of the company since its establishment, which is spread all over the wall, and is now blocked by a dense crowd. Glory always belongs to the past.

"Now our Mr. Jiang will announce the latest exhibition policies and promotion methods, and I will invite Mr. Jiang." Joden pushed the microphone to an old man, who was a veteran of Anke Zhan - Jiang Minyi, who had followed Mr. Qian all his life. From a young man who could only do logistics and administrative work 30 years ago, he has worked all the way to the vice president of the company today, and almost all the company's internal affairs have to go through his hands.

"So, let me introduce the promotion measures from now on, one is to expand the whole staff, and the other is to be unlimited to industries. As you know, the cultural fair, the high-tech exhibition, the book fair and so on are all comprehensive, and the customers in them are not only enterprises in the cultural industry, high-tech industry or book industry, but also those who sell clothing, snacks, flowers, etc. Then the main thing we have today is to break the previous convention, any industry can enter, selling Vietnamese coffee, selling coffee machines, selling coffee-containing drinks and snacks, etc., all legal sales can participate in the exhibition haha...... The cost of participating in the exhibition is the same as that of enterprises in the Anke industry! ”

Lao Jiang swallowed his saliva, and everyone who could hear it moved their buttocks, and Lao Jiang's voice continued to come from the stereo in the conference room: "For example, there was a dental beauty company some time ago, and he asked me if they could participate in the Anke Exhibition, and I could!" No problem! Now is the era of diversification, the most popular cultural fair people can recruit people who sell silk scarves, foot washbasins, beef jerky, why can't we Anke Exhibition? Why can't we be flexible? This is the first item of the meeting that we have convened today. ”

Jiang Minyi looked at the stunned employees from afar, and continued to stretch out his index finger to slide up and down: "The second content is about the personnel of our exhibition, which is no longer limited to the sales or business of various departments, the sales of magazines can attract magazine customers to participate in the exhibition, the directors of the association can drive the members of the association to participate in the exhibition, and the staff of our other departments, as long as there are customers, no matter what industry, self-employed people who sell drinks in the exhibition can also do it!" As long as we can stretch, we will treat everyone equally in terms of commission! ”

The employees below will look at Lao Jiang shaking his head for a while, and then look at the level and silence of Lao Qian on the main seat, Mr. Li will hold his chest with his hands and bow his head, and Joden will listen to Lao Jiang's words with bright eyes and nod from time to time.

After a pause in the air for a few seconds, Lao Jiang continued: "This is the 21st of October, and our exhibition is officially launched on the 10th of November, and there are still 20 years before the exhibition!" Exactly twenty! Then we have also contacted the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, and there are still booths and space for everyone to play. The latest booth map has been posted in the company group, and everyone can talk to customers with the booth map. This year's situation is special, and under this special situation this year, Anke Exhibition needs everyone's hard work ......"

After Lao Jiang finished his rambling, Li Yubing said simply: "The current exhibition has reached the most urgent and critical time of the year, and even this year's exhibition is the most difficult in the past." Not only our Anke Exhibition, but almost most exhibition companies are facing this environment and pressure this year. At the end of the year, the watch exhibition, from the CEO to the business, from the administration to the logistics, is in the exhibition, which is worthy of our reference for the exhibition. The exhibition is everyone's exhibition, and the opening of the exhibition requires everyone to work together as one. ”

After Sister Li, Lao Jiang added a few more points, and finally Joden made a summary of the meeting.

After a while, the meeting ended, and after the leaders went out one after another, the employees grinned and rolled their eyes at each other.

"So, now I'm going to go out for a show as a finance person?" The financial Tang Sheng mocked.

"They also sell coffee! My buddy runs a bar on the high street, so could it be that he should be asked to exhibit? People ask me what exhibition? I Anke Exhibition; People ask me what is Anke Exhibition? I security technology and other industry exhibitions. What are you and my buddies doing selling alcohol at the Anke Exhibition? Drunk our customers one by one? Sun Quan, the director of the association department, made fun of today's new policy.

"I am very optimistic about this exhibition in the second half of this year, and it has been fully opened! There is no limit to the industry! My side business is selling bags, skirts and cosmetics, and if the company gives me a discount, I'll go to the exhibition too! The administrative Zhang privately ridiculed.

"I bring goods from Hong Kong in my spare time, and I don't know if I can open a grocery store at our own fair! Hahaha......" Li Guangjie, the last person to leave the conference room, said and laughed at the employees behind him.

"You dare to take it out for the exhibition if you smuggle it! Aren't you afraid of getting caught? Sun Quan turned around and teased Li Guangjie.

"Hehe......" Tang, Zhang and Li Guangjie all covered their mouths when they heard it.

The business manager of the exhibition department, who did not attend the meeting this time, already knew the content of the meeting, laughed it off, and continued to be busy with his own affairs. Before twelve o'clock, the three of them simply finished eating, Zhiyuan hurriedly washed the dishes, packed his things and carried a bag, and prepared to send Gui Ying out. Lao Ma has been looking at them from the balcony, unhappy that Gui Ying is on a business trip, but there is a look of love on his face. Gui Ying said hello perfunctorily, but the old horse pretended not to respond. After the couple went out, Zhiyuan sent Gui Ying to the station.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" While waiting for the ticket check, Zhiyuan suddenly asked.

"No need, spend more money, you just take care of your family." Gui Ying, who has always traveled alone, is used to it.

"But I've already bought a ticket!" Zhiyuan happily took out his mobile phone and asked Gui Ying to see his e-ticket.

Gui Ying grabbed her phone and looked at it, and said in shock: "When did you buy it!" Did you buy all of them in several places? ”

Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You bought it after you fell asleep last night!" I'll be where you go! ”

"But...... You can't be reimbursed - dear! Gui Ying patted the bucket waist, distressed about money.

"I can take care of you! You spent tens of thousands of dollars when you got sick, your body and this fare - which is more expensive? Then there is only the ticket money, and the accommodation does not cost money! ”

"Uh......" Gui Ying touched her forehead, happy and stunned, and smiled after a while: "How do you explain to your father-in-law?" ”

Zhiyuan lowered his head, then raised his head and smiled: "You confess!" I also brought my clothes and stuff in my bag! Yesterday I packed up toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels or something, and I brought all of them for two! ”

Gui Ying was surprised and delighted, a feeling of favor invaded her whole body, and the fat girl was very cute.

"It's time to check in, let's go!" Zhiyuan pushed the box and walked forward.

"Don't say a word to me!" Gui Ying was disgusted.

"I didn't want to go, but when I thought about how many things you had and how heavy your body was, and your body wasn't completely well, what should I do if I carried a big box everywhere and stretched my body? What should I do if I don't eat well outside and have stomach problems? For so many years, I have been taking care of Yangyang, and I have never accompanied you out, this time I finally had the opportunity, and I am excited to think about it...... Again, these two ...... Dad has an opinion on me, I don't like it, I came out a few times, let him be quiet, maybe he will be in a much better mood when he goes back. Zhiyuan explained painlessly, and Gui Ying had mixed feelings in her heart.

Five years ago, when she went on a business trip alone for the first time, she was afraid that others would trick her and rob her, so she couldn't wait to sew all her pockets. Zhiyuan wants to accompany her at this moment - he was accompanied on his first business trip after giving birth to the second child, and Gui Ying suddenly experienced the warmth of being pampered and held by him when the two fell in love for the first time.

"Hyosung is getting a divorce, and the agreement has already been written." got on the high-speed train to Guangzhou, and about half an hour later, Gui Ying suddenly spoke.

Zhiyuan said: "Zhong Li always drinks and does his hands, which is really unforgivable." ”

"Two people are not equal in all aspects, and after a long time, they will inevitably collapse." Gui Ying sighed.

"Hmm."

After being silent for a long time, Gui Ying suddenly asked, "Are you going to divorce two times?" ”

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, froze, and after reacting, he slowly faced Gui Ying and said, "Who wants you if you are divorced?" One hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, sleeping at night and turning over the bed creaky to make the neighbors misunderstand! You're a person with smelly feet below, bad breath above, fox odor in the middle, and a fart sound in the back - who wants you? If there are still people who really like you, then I will quickly give way! True love in the world! Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Gui Ying was angry and happy when she heard this, and suddenly raised her hands to beat Zhiyuan's arms. After the husband and wife made a fuss, their fingers were interlocked, and when the high-speed rail drilled the cave, Gui Ying leaned his head on Zhiyuan's shoulder, and the corners of his eyes were moist. In any case, their marriage survived eighteen years. In Shenzhen, a first-tier city with a divorce rate of nearly 40% and the highest in the country, the couple can walk through 18 ordinary years together, and have a son and a daughter. Whatever the future, the former is irrefutablely gratifying.

Seeing that there were a lot of things sent and a few people couldn't finish eating, Lao Ma turned his head and called Zhong Neng and made an appointment to send some to his house.

When he was out of school in the afternoon, the old man actually saw Fang Qitao in the crowd, today's Fang Qitao is not yesterday's Fang Qitao. Since Grandpa Yangyang came to settle accounts with him, Fang Qitao, who was originally the most arrogant and arrogant in the class, began to curry favor with He Yiyang like other friends. In the morning, he took the initiative to talk to He Yiyang, and in the afternoon, he boldly gave He Yiyang a piece of chocolate. Seeing Grandpa Yangyang at this moment, he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't dare to retreat.

Seeing grandpa glaring at Fang Qitao, Yangyang held up a chocolate bar: "Grandpa, this is Fang Qitao sent me!" He pointed at Fang Qitao.

The old horse was conquered by the well-packaged snacks, and seeing that Fang Qitao was a little pitiful, he took the initiative to beckon to him: "Come here!" ”

Fang Qitao walked over and lowered his head.

"Are you still bullying Yangyang?" The old horse pointed and asked loudly.

"Nope." Fang Qitao replied.

"You don't bully her, you give her snacks – that's not going to work out! Not enough! If other children bully her in the future, I will also settle accounts with you! If other children beat her or pinch her, I will beat you and beat you, do you hear? The old horse once again bared his teeth and claws to threaten.

"Hearing it, I will protect He Yiyang." Fang Qitao promised aggrievedly.

"That's a good boy!" The old horse bent down and touched Fang Qitao's hair, then pointed to his nose and added: "You protect Yangyang, you can be considered a good doll, you know!" ”

Fang Qitao nodded.

Yang Yang looked at Fang Qitao with a smile, Fang Qitao lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled. Seeing this, the old horse pulled up Yangyang and went home. Yang Yang was very happy along the way, Lao Ma took her to dinner, and then carried half a bag of corn and a box of winter dates in a trolley suitcase, and took the bus to find Zhong Neng. By this time, Zhong Neng had already gotten off work, and Lao Ma went straight to the Zhong family's cereal shop in the farmer's market, which had just closed down.

The two old men were gone, and they rejoiced when they met each other. Zhong Neng quickly prepared two cold dishes, Lao Ma took out Xifeng wine from his bag, and the two brothers made fists. Xuecheng, who was specially picked up by his grandfather today, took Yangyang to play with his toys in the room on the second floor. After three glasses of wine, the two old men opened their arms, and the topic of joy turned into sadness, one was worried about his daughter-in-law's divorce, and the other was patting his thigh for his son-in-law.

The second elder muttered at first downstairs, drinking and drinking, forgetting that the two children were still upstairs, and the eight-year-old Xuecheng heard his mother's divorce clearly and completely.

Gui Ying and his wife, who arrived at Guangzhou Station at two o'clock in the afternoon, took the high-speed train to Shanghai at three o'clock. Six and a half hours later, the couple arrived in Shanghai, and as soon as they left the station, He Zhiyuan moved boxes, looked for taxis, and contacted hotels...... There is a delicate person on the road to deliver medicine and water, contracting all the big work, Gui Ying, who took a car and stayed in the hotel at night, was really not so tired, and was busy with work after ten o'clock.

"Do you know how much He Dong's potato vermicelli makes a pound?"

"How much?"

"Three! Three pieces! As soon as he sells hundreds of catties of vermicelli, look at the profit! ”

"That's because someone opened a vermicelli factory in their hometown."

"You can open one too! You are so capable, you will open a vermicelli factory in the future and make a lot of money steadily. ”

The unkempt man in the vest listened to the person opposite, snorted and smiled, his face wrinkled.

Zhong Li and Lao Tao ate and drank food and wine in a newly opened barbecue restaurant, and the two came five or seven times before and after the 50% discount in the first month of the new store's opening. Busy people are busy to death, idle people are idle, it's twelve o'clock at the moment, and the brothers are still drinking.

"What? Don't look down on this business? It's too late for me to envy! What other way do you and I have? Our conditions and age are not as good as you, you are a cultural person! I can't! Die as a coolie! I envy He Dong's noodle business, if there is his way, I can also prosper! Lao Tao slapped the table and knocked on the plate.

"Well...... yes"

"Why don't we open a vermicelli factory together! I'm in charge of marketing, you're in charge of production transfers, what's going on? ”

"Hey...... Forget it! Zhong Li lowered his head and smiled bitterly, scratching his dandruff hair.

"What about you...... It's not a problem to be idle all the time. I want to drink with you at night, it's not allowed, there's work! It's okay to make money, but if you don't make any money, you will be so aggrieved! It's a pity to discard the tasteless food - chicken ribs! If the two of us work together, you have a management mind and I have entity marketing, and I will make a lot of money when I think about it! Lao Tao clapped his palms excitedly.

"Hehe......"

"Come, come, drink! The beer here is good! How cheap! Three pieces a bottle, how energetic it is to drink it coldly! Delicious! Fuck a bottle! Knowing that Zhongli didn't mean to cooperate, Lao Tao didn't want to spoil the fun, so he drank it all, and licked the bottle mouth for fear of wasting.

"Some time ago, I had back pain, backache, and I couldn't sleep at night! Moving hundreds of pounds of beans at night, who can stand it, wow, my father is almost sixty! I have to cherish this old life. MY RELATIVE IS NOW POPULAR TO SELL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES DIRECTLY FROM THE FIELD, HE PLANTED A FEW ACRES OF YAM, AND SOLD FIVE PIECES OF LAND ON TAOBAO AND PINDUODUO FOR A CATTY, AND SOLD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THREE MONTHS! Gluttonous! I still have land in my hometown, and if I want to think about it, I will also grow toons, apples, chrysanthemums or something, what is expensive, and then I will earn seventy or eighty thousand yuan a year! It's really not okay to raise pigs, and now pork is ...... expensive Ay! I've struggled all my life, and now I can't afford to eat a plate of pork kidneys! Cao doesn't fucking let people live! Drink and drink! Today, one person drank a few bottles of Jiang · White! The two touched a glass and drank most of the bottled liquor in their hands.

The dragon falls into the shallows and is played by shrimp.

The arrogant Zhong Li hated the old Tao Dog for seeing tenacity, and actually wooed him to open a vermicelli factory, is he Zhong Li, a former cadre of a state-owned enterprise, the person who opened the vermicelli factory? Angry, he knew that Lao Tao was not malicious, but now he was just disobedient by his daughter-in-law and came to him to be obedient. Life is tormented, why bother to think about it is more difficult for yourself.

Lao Tao is a person, enthusiastic, kind, and refreshing, but he can't get out of the agricultural market in his life, and his eyes are full of soybeans, vermicelli, garlic, and dried mushrooms. clamoring to go out, but he can't get out for the rest of his life. It is already rare for a farmer to run a grain shop with a decent business in Shenzhen, Pengcheng. Relying on that dirty and narrow shop, he took care of his hot and sick wife, and by that shop where the business was good and bad, he raised two mediocre children.

Lao Tao's parents died early, and he married a wife who also had parents who died early; His daughter-in-law spent 70 million yuan on entering the hospital at every turn; His son went out to learn technology, and he did his best to give his son the financial support he wanted; His daughter took the college entrance examination this year, and he took an extra job that was not profitable, very hard, but increased the turnover for this reason...... Zhong Li has always looked down on Lao Tao in his heart - rustic, blind, complaining, and whimsical, but it took Zhong Li more than twenty years to discover the rare qualities of this old man by his side.

Forever white vest, big pants, old Tao with blue slippers, under the ugly skin, deep perseverance and endurance, for a bad and difficult life, he is the most able to resist pressure, even great. The successful people and celebrities that Zhong Li longed for in this half of his life burst like a bubble, and there was dirt and dirt hidden under the halo. On the other hand, reflecting on himself, it is ridiculous that he has been commanding all his life, but he is far inferior to the half-old man in front of him who he has never looked down on.

Zhong Lijiu revisited the old Tao that he had been despising, ignoring and even often laughing at in front of him over the years, chubby, very vulgar but so cute. put others on the life path of picking a son early, but he walked very solidly and promisingly.

When Zhong Li was in the trough, the mud and the grass, the middle-aged man who bowed his head vaguely glimpsed the other side of life.
