Chapter 74: The Legend of Small Fish Eating Big Fish
Tao Tao took another step forward, "Second brother...... Good morning. ”
Yuan Qian glanced at him, and then buried his head in eating the porridge and side dishes in front of him, "Come and eat." ”
"Mother and second sister-in-law ......?"
"The second young grandmother and Mrs. have already eaten, and it rained all night last night, and the old lady was afraid that you wouldn't sleep well, so she didn't call you." Li's mother filled a bowl of millet porridge and put it in front of her.
"Oh....." It seems that she got up late, and she took a nap at this time.
Yuan Qian peeled an egg and put it on the plate in front of her, she raised her head and smiled slightly, wanting to say thank you, but she couldn't open her mouth. It's something that she usually gets used to, but now she suddenly feels awkward, looking at the peeled eggs in front of her, she can't eat it anyway.
Yuan Qian put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the newspaper in front of him, Tao Tao saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he lowered his head and ate porridge in small bites.
"What is there to ask? Just say it. ”
Tao Tao almost choked on a mouthful of porridge, she coughed softly, "It's okay....." but there was still some weakness.
Yuan Qian folded the newspaper, and Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was leaving, but he didn't want him to sit there motionless. I didn't look at her, my eyes were fixed on the newspaper, but I seemed to be able to see through her.
"The ticket to go back to Chengyu has been completed."
"Second brother......" Tao Tao stirred the rice porridge in front of him, he had no appetite at all, "Mother plans to go abroad ....."
Yuan Qian put away the newspaper and raised his eyes to look at her, "Eat first, eat without speaking, and sleep without speaking." ”
Tao Tao put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm done." ”
Yuan Qian looked at her, as if he really had no appetite, and he didn't force her, "I know." ”
"Do you and Big Brother agree?"
"What do you think?" Instead of answering her, he threw the question at her again.
"I ....." she was speechless for a while, and inevitably swallowed, "I ...... After all, it was her old man's intention, and there was nothing wrong with going to the third brother's place, he had long wanted to take his mother over. ”
Yuan Qian got up from the chair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, at this time the sun was just right, shining on the person's body warmly, but she didn't feel any warmth at all when he said it.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Before she could reply to him, he continued: "Blame me, you were forced to learn something at the beginning, but in the end you were not proficient in anything." ”
She had never thought about it, and she had only thought about it last night about the future. In the past, she always said that she wanted to go abroad, but that was all angry talk, she really wanted to go abroad, and she didn't know what she wanted to do or what kind of person she would become.
"I ....." she hesitated, but still didn't say why.
"Think about it......" he turned back and walked away from the window. I was not in a hurry at this time, and my mother came to Nanjing to check her body. She had this idea, and we naturally wanted to do it. But...... It's still a long-term perspective. ”
"Oh....."
Yuan Qian thought she had something to say, so he waited for her, but after a while, she didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and counted the patterns on the carpet. In the past, he would definitely ask, how many auspicious clouds are there, and how many flowers?
But now, she retracted into the turtle shell and hid it, and he sighed in his heart. She doesn't understand anything. In fact, it is precisely because I know a lot about everything that I seem a little pitiful.
"Don't let your heart float because of this, I still have to take the test for my homework."
He didn't wait for her to answer, and left the restaurant......
Since that morning, after a brief exchange with Yuan Qian, she has not spoken much.
Later, her vacation ended, she had to go back to school, and on the day she left, Yunyi and Yunhe sent her together, in fact, she planned to leave quietly, but she couldn't stop Yunyi's kindness, so she agreed.
The three sisters-in-law chatted all the way in the car, and they didn't know why, but no one mentioned anything about the Air Force officer. This has to start with the banquet that day.
At that time, there were a few young officers, Tao Tao didn't care much, just one of them, Tao Tao was extremely impressed, because of the eldest brother's wedding, that person also came, and he was also flying a plane, taking the lead, she also saw his interview in the newspaper, and in these battles of the Chu department, he is the number one hero. At a recent military parade, he won praise for his low-altitude flying skills. It is regarded as an idol in the hearts of many girls.
He is hearty and hearty, with the straightforwardness and enthusiasm of a Northeast man. Maybe it's because he has a nostalgia for that homeland, Tao Tao and he can talk a few words.
During the days when Tao Tao was in Nanjing, he often asked Tao Tao to come out together. This person is also funny, so Tao Tao has an excellent impression of him. In the past few days that Tao Tao has been in Nanjing, he has also attended large and small banquets. Once, just in time for the rain, her skirt was a little longer, and she couldn't get used to wearing high heels, and the wet ground, she accidentally slipped a little, and he happened to be by her side, so he helped her. I don't know if it was slapped by someone with a heart.
On the second day, the scandal between the two spread in Nanjing, but the gossip tabloids did not reveal her true identity, only that she was a mysterious woman with a special identity.
After this incident, Tao Tao was very annoyed, it was a misunderstanding, she didn't say hello to anyone, she found the newspaper by herself, but people didn't eat her at all, it was also a coincidence, this air force officer was also looking for a tabloid theory, and the two met again. On the contrary, things are getting darker and darker.
I don't know how, there are rumors that he smiled for Bo Hongyan and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy that photo. Actually, he bought it, but the eldest brother was afraid that the impact would be bad, so he sent someone to buy it back.
This incident has also become the last thing she wants to mention in Nanjing.
And this officer, because of the mission of the aviation school, was later transferred back to Jianqiao. She also had to go back to school, so the matter was over. Later, when she returned to school, she received a letter from him, probably sorry for causing her trouble. That's another story.
"Mother's business, you are wrapped up in me." Yun Yi took Tao Tao's hand and said softly.
Tao Tao pulled her mind back from the scenery outside the car window, and she smiled at Yun Yi in response.
"I'll take care of the formalities for going abroad."
"And me." Yunhe also smiled and gestured to Tao Tao.
"You also have your busyness, Yuan Qian is the director of the Jurisdiction Bureau, and your entertainment must be more."
"Oops...... No matter how busy you are, can you have your busyness. Don't worry. ”
Tao Tao whispered, she always had to respond to the enthusiasm of her two sisters-in-law.
It's just that Yuan Qian would actually agree to be the director of the four counties of Yudu, which made Tao Tao incredible. At first, she was bothered by her own affairs, and she didn't notice his reaction, and also, he barely showed up when it happened. Although I am in Nanjing, I almost don't see each other.
Listening to Yunhe, he has been busy with the acquisition of a steamship company, how can these little things distract him.
However, she could also hear that her family, especially Yongqian, was very pleased with Yuan Qian's appointment as the director of the Yudu Four Counties Jurisdiction Bureau. can also see the importance he attaches to Yudu.
"This time Yuan Qian can agree, and Yongqian also has sacrifices." Yun Yi glanced at Tao Tao, "Your two brothers are also weird and interesting." ”
"yes, or he wouldn't be so easily convinced." Yunhe also knows Yuan Qian's temperament very well.
As for how Yongqian persuaded Yuan Qian, or what conditions he agreed to, none of them said. Tao Tao was still thinking about it on the ship, but in the end he didn't come up with a reason.
People will change, as the so-called time does not wait, no matter what the reason, Yuan Qian agreed to be the director of the Jurisdiction Bureau, which is a very correct thing for him to the people's livelihood and even for the four counties of Chongqing.
At the beginning, with the help of Chen Shunong, the bandits in Fuling were eliminated, but it was not thorough, and hidden dangers were also buried. So, it became the blueprint for his dream again.
Railways, coal mines, weaving mills, canals, farms, factories, parks, stadiums, old cities, hospitals, libraries, museums, and schools in towns and cities. He painted one picture after another in the four counties.
The first thing Yuan Qian did after returning to Fuling was to take over a British steamship company, and his principle was that as long as he was willing to sell the ship, whether good or bad, the people's livelihood would buy it at the price. Those who are willing to merge with Minsheng, no matter how much they have, Minsheng will help them pay off their debts, deliver as much cash as they need, and add the rest to Minsheng as equity capital. When the ship is sold to Minsheng or merged into Minsheng, all crew members will be transferred to Minsheng work, and no one will be unemployed. Receive a boat, and that boat will operate according to the system of people's livelihood.
At the beginning, it was Fuchuan Company that took the lead in merging with Minsheng, and "Fuquanlun" was renamed "Minfu" since then. At that time, Minsheng put forward a business policy: "The United Nations wheel, unanimously to the outside world, avoid the real and the virtual, and break each one."
After the completion of the school in Beifu, Yuanqian established various training courses to train a group of talents with "ideals and skills". The first and second student teams were formed. set up a youth volunteer team, and these people have become the backbone of Beifu Construction and Minsheng Company.
Yuan Qian's livelihood company flourished, and he gradually gained a firm foothold in Chongqing, and many newspapers praised him. Yuan Qian, who is getting busier and busier, naturally has no time to take care of Tao Tao, even if he often comes to Shanghai, he can't find time to come to see her. But she always brought some Yudu specialties to her. Since the farewell in Nanjing, Tao Tao has never contacted him, he and Yunhe, she dare not ask, she is very happy to see him can have such a great achievement.
There was no news about going abroad for a while, and she didn't bother to ask. Just walking alone on their own tracks.
Meng Ruihua went to Yudu, and also facilitated the cooperation between Minsheng and the Commercial Press, and also became a volunteer. Occasionally, in letters, I would tell her something that happened in Fuling.
will also send her a few photos, today's Fuling is not the same, because of Yuan Qian's relationship, now, not only the village has built roads, even the electric lights have been installed, and several surrounding villages, counties and cities, all use the equipment of the Hechuan Power Plant.
He had invested earlier, and now it is a small return. I heard that recently I am advocating the construction of Jialing Hot Spring Park, if this is completed, it is really a major event that has never been done before.
Seeing that the people around her were making progress one by one, only she was standing still, Tao Tao couldn't help but feel sad.
