On August 16, Han Bing and Gao Liangliang came to W City to compete as scheduled.

The Shoe Sample Design Contest in W City is divided into two parts, one is the production category, that is, the physical shoes are contested, and the other is the creation category, that is, the design renderings. There are five awards in the Production category, one Gold Award, five Silver Awards and seven Best Design Creation Awards in the Creation category.

In this shoe design competition, Yin Xiaoyu was accompanied by Zhou Jingjing and participated in the competition with a pair of white casual shoes made by himself working overtime at night.

Han Bing was accompanied by Gao Liangliang and participated in the competition with professional design renderings.

This shoe design competition in W City is the ninth time that the Z Provincial Leather Industry Association has held such a competition. This time it is more artistic, and many of the works effectively combine the traditional national culture and incorporate many popular elements. In particular, Han Bing's creativity is really impressive, and Han Bing easily won the award.

Unfortunately, Yin Xiaoyu's shoe design was too traditional and too plain to win the award.

However, there is an American student in W City who took leave to come back to participate in the competition, young, calm and steady, won the production award, and when he came to the stage to accept the award in a high-profile manner, he smiled very professionally, he is the only son of Duan Yiyu, the general manager of Duan's shoes.

Duan Yiyu and Han Bing received the award on the same stage, Yin Xiaoyu enjoyed the taste of failure, for this pair of shoes, she burned the sundial, worked overtime, tired to death, she wanted to be quiet, clean and elegant in line with her own aesthetic concept. But in the eyes of the judges, it was just a clear soup with little water.

Yin Xiaoyu was in great pain, and the misfortune was not alone, just when the host was saying decent and beautiful blessings, just when many people in the world were happy, Yin Xiaoyu received a call from his second brother, and Yin's mother died suddenly without illness.

Yin Xiaoyu held the phone, stared blankly at the bright smile of the victor on the stage, and burst into tears. Han Bing jumped off the podium despite the staff's obstruction, Zhou Jingjing and Gao Liangliang told him that Yin Xiaoyu's mother had passed away.

Han Bing's heart is like a knife, if he can bear the pain instead, he is willing to bear it for her. Yin Xiaoyu looked at him with tears in his eyes, I can't share the joy of winning the award with you, I'm sorry.

Han Bing suddenly jumped off the podium, which attracted the attention of countless media reporters, and Duan Yiyu on the podium also noticed Han Bing and Yin Xiaoyu, this girl with pear blossoms and rain, this tired shoe pattern designer, he Duan Yiyu remembered.

After Duan Yiyu received the award, he returned to the Americas to study with a sense of victory.

Yin Xiaoyu packed up his mood and prepared to go home for the funeral.

Han Bing was not worried that Yin Xiaoyu would go home alone, so he asked Gao Liangliang for leave to return to his hometown. Gao Liangliang is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, in fact, she is a person with a temperament, and she sacrifices her life to accompany the gentleman, anyway, her job is to bring Han Bing back to the company safely and intact. Gao Liangliang also wanted to see what kind of water and soil created this party and raised Han Bing, a stunner.

Zhou Jingjing learned that Gao Liangliang would also go to his hometown, so he picked up the phone on the spot and cried to his father, missing the taste of his hometown and his childhood friends, can he go back and see? Dad Zhou roared on the phone, I don't know you yet, for fun, right? There's nothing wrong with going to the countryside and seeing. Zhou's father thought about it for a while, Zhou Jingjing hadn't taken a day off since she went to work, and she was indeed too strict with her son.

After Zhou Jingjing asked for leave, she jumped up from the ground, she was tall and big, and she was still so active? He put his hands on Han Bing's shoulders, and he told Han Bing that he was going back to his hometown. Zhou Jingjing cheered, like a child.

Zhou Jingjing is so excited, what is it for? Do you miss your hometown? I haven't missed it for so many years, and today I suddenly miss it? In order to walk with Gao Liangliang, he can make up any complex.

Yin Xiaoyu is very grateful for the kindness of her companions, no matter what she is returning to her hometown for, at least the direct purpose is for her.

Zhou Jingjing drove off and said she would go.

More than 8,000 kilometers away, Gao Liangliang and Zhou Jingjing took turns driving, and the three friends took Gao Liangliang back to S Village, P City, J Province. Zhou Jingjing followed Gao Liangliang left and right, brought tea and water, and asked for warmth. Gao Liangliang suspected him of making noise, disturbing her curiosity about the beautiful scenery, and ordered him to either be quiet or get out of the way!

Zhou Jingjing got the true biography of Zhang Ruili, and she would suffocate if she didn't speak. But in order to get along with the girl I like, I held back.

Yin Xiaoyu's house is relatively small, with three rooms, two younger brothers, the second brother Yin Xiaofeng, and the third brother Yin Xiaolei are all back. Han Bing sent Yin Xiaoyu home, put a stick of incense in front of Yin's mother's coffin, and took Zhou Jingjing and Gao Liangliang back to Han's house.

It was almost dusk when they got home, and the Han family and his wife knew that their son was going home, so they had already prepared a large table of hometown dishes. There are Han Bing's favorite home-cooked tofu, the only scrambled eggs with shallots in P City, the special firewood smoked chicken thigh meat in P City, and the local firewood dried bean curd in P City and the fish raised by grazing in P City, the fish soup is delicious, even the five-star hotels are beyond reach, and the river shrimp in P City taste pure, and the aftertaste is endless.

As soon as Gao Liangliang entered the door, Han's mother looked up and down, this girl looked very good, this tall person, slender legs, wide pelvic bones, good fertility at a glance.

Han Bing saw that his mother was always staring at a girl, coughed twice, and signaled his mother not to look at the guests all the time. Mother Han realized that she was out of shape, and smiled at Gao Liangliang, but she hadn't let go of Gao Liangliang in her heart, she wanted to know everything about this girl, this type of girl was suitable to be her daughter-in-law.

Gao Liangliang has long been accustomed to being appreciated and sought after by tens of millions of people, what is an old lady doing to make a scene? It doesn't matter, the dishes on the table in front of her have aroused Gao Liangliang's interest, she has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, shark fin bird's nest, Manchu and Han full banquets, etc., but she has not had the opportunity to see the dishes in the countryside.

Unlike Yin Xiaoyu's brick-walled house, the Han family is a villa with a solar-powered roof and red glazed tiles around the edges.

Yin Xiaoyu's living room was sad in the room, while the Han family's living room was full of joy, and the Han family couple saw their son bring his friends back, talking and laughing, and eating happily.

Gao Liangliang found that the hometown dishes of P City, although the ingredients are commonplace, but the clever combination of colors is beautiful, which makes people more appetizing.

There is a dish that arouses Gao Liangliang's curiosity, slicing green and red peppers, steaming eggs and cutting them into circles with thread, frying them in an oil pan until browned, and stir-frying garlic, green onions, and green and red peppers. Because the shape of the cut egg resembles an ancient copper coin, the people of P City call it a money egg. Gao Liangliang praised Han's mother's good craftsmanship, and Han's mother listened to it like eating honey. Han's mother thought to herself, this girl is not only good-looking, but also has a sweet mouth.

At the dinner table, Han's mother asked Gao Liangliang what she does? Maybe it's because she has eaten the hometown food of P City that she has never eaten, Gao Liangliang's temperament is much gentler, and she has an expression on her face, telling the truth. Gao Liangliang said that she was Han Bing's colleague and worked in the company. Han Bing immediately corrected, what is the mess? Gao is always my boss, she is the vice president of Liangliang Shoes, and she is also the daughter of my boss.

What?!Han's mother stared at Gao Liangliang unexpectedly, this little girl is too modest, she is obviously an executive, but she wants to say that she is a miscellaneous person, and there are very few young people who are so modest as Gao Liangliang. How can it be like that Yin Xiaoyu, just a shoe worker, and he also claims to be a shoe pattern designer to compete with Han Bing, Han Bing is a professional designer, what is Yin Xiaoyu? Isn't it just a nest with Zhang Ruili's snakes and rats?
