Chapter 286: There is no cave
Tu Cheng, who is now in the position of vice president of a shoddy company, has a hard time taking care of his family in addition to his work. However, his salary has increased more than tenfold compared to the original.
Therefore, everything about the children and the family is basically handled by Hao Lili alone!
Originally, Tu Cheng's father lived alone in his hometown, considering that the old man was at home alone, and he was getting older, and it was inconvenient for each child to be around.
And Tu Cheng's sister's family, there were originally two old people, and the pressure was also very high.
On the other hand, rural people always like to say: "A daughter who marries out is like water spilled out." To a certain extent, this matter of taking care of elderly parents should naturally fall on Tu Cheng, a son or an elder brother.
Therefore, Tu's father, who was originally just willing to stay in the ravine, followed his son to this noisy big city - Guancheng.
The original butcher was very unaccustomed to a life where he had nothing to do for a day.
So, Tu Cheng's father, Tu Zilong, who couldn't stay idle, would go to the street every day to pick up some corrugated boxes, mineral water bottles, etc., and take them to the scrapyard to sell.
At first, Hao Lili didn't know what her father-in-law was going to do this morning.
Until one day, Hao Lili, who went downstairs with a big belly to buy vegetables, happened to see her father-in-law rummaging in the garbage can on the side of the road. That's when I realized what was going on.
After seeing this scene, Hao Lili did not directly communicate with her father-in-law, but told her husband Tu Cheng about it.
However, what neither Hao Lili nor Tu Cheng expected was to face their son's inquiry. Father Tu Zilong actually said: "Seeing that you two are working hard all day and night, I am still good at feet, how much I will save for you, and I will feel at ease even if I go to the underworld!" β
Until the end, Tu Cheng didn't know how to convince his father. In desperation, he had no choice but to change his words and say: "Dad, there are many ways to make money, and we can do other things." I'll help you find a job, okay? β
As soon as I heard that my son was going to find a job for himself. Tu Zilong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "This is so good, I am idle all day long, and I am really panicked." β
However, after all, the son goes out early and returns late all day long. Time passes day by day, but my work is always not accurate day and night.
In the end, Tu Zilong was very anxious, and he said to his son Tu Cheng: "You little rabbit cub, you actually deceived your father." You see, it's been a long time, what about my job? You only know how to keep busy with you all day long! Did you lie to me that you said that you were looking for a job for me? β
Seeing that the father-in-law and the husband and son couldn't hold each other. So, Hao Lili came up with an idea: "Dad, the dishes in this city are sprinkled with medicine and preservatives, and they are not fresh to eat." We have such a big open-air balcony. Otherwise, you can grow vegetables at home. In this way, our family can eat fresh vegetables! β
"Well, that's right, I'll just say that the cabbage in this city doesn't taste like cabbage at all, and the lettuce doesn't taste crispy at all. But, Lili, if we grow vegetables on our balcony. It stinks so much that the door or downstairs comes up, and people come up to make trouble, so what's the problem? Also, where to get this farmhouse fertilizer? β
"Dad, you only need to use some fertilizer to grow vegetables on the balcony, as long as you plant a little cabbage, green onions or tomatoes, which are not deeply rooted and have little fertilizer demand. There is no need for farm manure at all. Tu Cheng's explanation completely broke the embarrassment in Hao Lili's heart.
Just now, she was still worrying about how she should explain to her father-in-law!
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Hao Lili came to her home through a nanny hired by a housekeeping company to start her official job.
The nanny is an aunt from Guangyuan, Sichuan who is over fifty years old and looks quite down-to-earth, her name is Zhao Xingyun.
Both Tu Cheng and Hao Lili politely addressed her as Aunt Zhao.
Tu Cheng's father called her "Sister Zhao!" β
The reason why Hao Lili fell in love with her was because the accents of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan were basically the same, and there was no language barrier. I drink my husband's usual time at home is relatively small, and my father-in-law is not very good at speaking Mandarin.
Nanny Zhao Xingyun is a very discerning person. On the first day I came to the house, I cleaned the house inside and out.
watched Tu Cheng's father carry a basin of water to water the green vegetables that had just sprouted on the balcony. Zhao Xingyun hurriedly ran over and took the basin and said, "This is what a woman does, you do it first!" β
When the nanny Zhao Xingyun's eyes looked at Tu Zilong's slightly hollow eyes. Deep down, there is no cave.
"Mom, I dreamed about the past years again last night!" Qiu Shuang said while sitting in a wheelchair while helping his mother, who was cooking, remove the yellowed leek leaves.
"Daughter, let it go in the past, it's been so many years!" Qiu's mother didn't dare to look back at her daughter's eyes. Because, she was worried that she would see the tears in her daughter's eyes.
"But Mom, I often wonder if I deserve to be in such a field. Looking back, I often feel like my heart is stuffy in those years. Really ......"
Immediately after, Qiu's mother heard her daughter's whispered sobs.
Originally, Qiu Shuang returned to his hometown after an accident in Guancheng and worked as a teacher in a special education center. But in the last two months, due to being confined to a wheelchair for a long time, her muscle atrophy has become more and more severe, and she has some problems with her cervical spine. In desperation, now she has to temporarily take leave to recuperate at home. Her mother, who is now retired, is at home 24 hours a day to take care of her.
Over the years, getting along with those children who are not completely normal in the special education center, Qiu Shuang has become more and more aware of what fate is.
Some of the children taught by Qiu Shuang were abandoned by their parents from birth. Some of them were sent by the aid station, and the children who had not yet found their parents were abducted by bad people, and in the process of being trafficked, they were inhumanly abused by traffickers and left with lifelong disabilities.
There are also children who are born with an apple that God has eaten once.
During his years in the special education center, Qiu Shuang treated every child seriously and attentively. The children affectionately call her: Teacher Qiu or Mother Qiu!
"Teacher Qiu, you are so loving, fate is so unfair to you like this!" A college student volunteering at a special education center said to Qiu Shuang
Qiu Shuang smiled and did not answer.
In the first year or two of being taken back to his hometown by his parents, Qiu Shuang often dreamed of those days in Guancheng. Every time she dreamed, she was almost shocked to the point that she was covered in a cold sweat or woke up with tears on her face.
In fact, as early as when he was in Guancheng, when he was finally forced to jump down from the downstairs of the hotel, Qiu Shuang had already figured it out: all the mechanisms are exhausted, and in the end it is just a void.
Ultimately, man must also pay for all his evils. All the goodness is ultimately bland.
There is no regret medicine in this world, otherwise all the pain or unhappiness will never happen.
Today, Qiu Shuang just hopes that he can return to the special education center as soon as possible and healthily, and can continue to do his best to provide some help to those children in need.
Occasionally, in her spare time, she would also think in her mind, how is Feng Tianyu in those years now?
Is Hao Lili, who has always dreamed of surpassing her, still in the Good Mood Group? Which position did she get promoted?
And what happened to Qin Yang, who had always been very stupid and naΓ―ve, and only had a first Chinese basis?
Although many years have passed, the figures of these people will always be imprinted in Qiu Shuang's mind like an indelible number.
In the past year or so of raising a baby and raising a child, Hao Lili has not let herself be idle. In addition to the most necessary walks in the morning and evening, as well as cooking for the family. She spends almost all of her free time in the library.
In between borrowing or returning books, or when she needs help finding books, Hao Lili will also communicate softly with the librarians in the library. Over time, the librarians in the library all knew her.
Until the first three days of her due date, Hao Lili was still nestled in the library. In addition to reading almost all the books related to the clothing market in the entire library, she still does not refuse books about clothing design and production.
Combined with some of the problems she experienced in the clothing market before, Hao Lili almost found evidence of most of the previous problems.
At the same time, she also used the reading level to write a "Clothing Notes" based on the actual situation of her previous work.
It's just that due to the taboo on computers during pregnancy. Hao Lili's entire 270,000-word notebook is all handwritten.
"When Tu Tu grows up, I'll take it out and publish it!" On a small long vacation. Finally, when Hao Lili and Tu Cheng had time to get together and sit in the small vegetable garden on the balcony of their home, Hao Lili hugged Tu Tu and said to Tu Cheng.
"Wife, if I have time, I'll knock it for you!" Tu Cheng, who was slightly blessed, said to his wife Hao Lili with a smile on his face.
"Daughter her father, you just pull it down, wait until you have time? It should be after the Year of the Monkey, right? Hao Lili smiled helplessly.
"Wife, when is the Year of the Monkey?"
"Year of the Monkey plus the Month of the Horse!"
.......
Whether it is Tu Cheng or Hao Lili, although the work between the two of them can be regarded as smooth, they are still busy in addition to being busy! The days between the two are still fulfilling.
The Los Angeles branch of Good Mood Group has finally ushered in a complete recovery after the tragic fire one year ago!
Some of the workers who had left because of the fire have now returned.
Whether it is Qin Yang, Jack, Weisie, or even Gifrey, they all said: Welcome home.
They even made such words into banners and hung them on the exterior walls of the company.
Such a move regardless of previous suspicions has won the trust and encouragement of new and old employees. As a result, there are many other companies where employees have jumped to the job to get in a good mood.
For a time, the Los Angeles branch of Good Mood Group was prosperous.
As the most important part of the company, talent is guaranteed.
"Suny, can I have dinner with you in the evening?"
Just as he was getting off work, Qin Yang's mobile phone rang with a text message prompt tone.
Qin Yang picked it up and saw that it was actually sent by Jack, the financial director.
It's weird, isn't there anything this guy usually calls directly? Why did you suddenly remember to send a text message? Qin Yang thought to himself.
