The day the two arrived home was Sunday, I thought they would be warmly welcomed by the children, but they didn't think about it, but the house was quiet, the big black and the black were very enthusiastic, and they kept circling around the two of them, wagging their tails, and from time to time they jumped up and pasted their forelimbs and heads on the two of them, which was very intimate.

In the kitchen, Li Suhua, who heard the voice, came out to check.

"Mom!" Zheng Juan and Wang Chong shouted in unison.

"You're back?" Li Suhua had a smile on his face, very surprised.

"What about dad and the kids?" Zheng Juan asked.

Li Suhua said: "Your dad and Little Tail are in the house, Congcong and they went to the hospital early in the morning!" ”

"To the hospital? What do you do in the hospital? Zheng Juan immediately became worried.

Li Suhua: "It's Dean Ma, I was hospitalized a few days ago, I just had surgery three days ago, my body hasn't recovered yet, and I have to stay in the hospital for a while. ”

"These two days are not weekends, Congcong took his younger siblings to visit them in the hospital early in the morning."

"Lao Ma is hospitalized?" Wang Chong was also a little surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

"Where can I say it, but the operation has been completed, the doctor said that it is out of the danger period, that is, the body has to slowly recuperate to recover, and the doctor also instructed that Dean Ma can only eat liquid food during this time, and it must be light, and you can't touch it with big oil and meat."

"It's just right that you're back, yesterday Dean Ma's son has gone back to Shanghai because of work, and now the hospital is guarding Secretary Qu alone, and I'm discussing with you how to help her." Li Suhua was indeed relieved, he and Zhou Zhigang were both old, and it was okay to accompany Qu Xiuzhen during the day, but it was a little unbearable at night.

But Qu Xiuzhen is not young anymore, and if she stays up late, it will be a big burden on her body.

Wang Zhong said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to me." ”

Li Suhua was worried that the two of them were too tired, so she hurriedly asked, "You two just came back, do you want to rest first?" ”

"It's okay Mom, we came back by plane, we slept all the way on the plane, and we weren't tired at all." Wang Chongdao.

"That's fine! I'll go cook first. ”

"Then Juan'er and I will go to clean up first, and you will call us when the meal is ready, and then Juan'er and I will drive to the hospital to see Lao Ma Laoqu, and take the children back by the way, you and my dad will stay at home and take care of the little tail."

"Okay, then you can go later, it just so happens that I can save trouble, and I can cook at home, and I will eat when you come back." Li Suhua saw it very thoroughly, anyway, she couldn't help when she went, so she sent a meal, and now that Wang Chong is here, she can drive over and go back and forth for more than 20 miles, which is much easier than her and Zhou Zhigang riding bicycles.

In the house, in the small living room, Zhou Zhigang and Little Tail sat on the sofa, and what was on the TV was the classic cartoon "Gourd Baby".

"Dad!" Wang Chong and Zheng Juan put down their hearts and walked to the small hall to greet Zhou Zhigang.

"You're back?" Zhou Zhigang was not as focused as Little Tail, and when he saw Wang Chong, he also had a smile on his face: "Didn't you say that you were going to go for a month or two?" ”

"This trip went very smoothly, the matter was almost done, and I didn't worry about the child, so I rushed back." Wang Chongdao.

Zhou Zhigang's attitude surprised Wang Chong, before he and Zheng Juan went out, although Zhou Zhigang had moved over for a few days, but when he was with Wang Chong, he still inevitably had a long face.

But now how long has passed, and this attitude has simply turned upside down.

"Dad! You don't have a fever, do you? Wang Zhong asked uncertainly.

Zhou Zhigang's old face stiffened: "You just had a fever." ”

"Humph!" As he spoke, he was still a little stingy and turned his head away.

"Dad, don't be angry, Bingkun is just joking with you." Zheng Juan hurriedly smiled and persuaded.

Zhou Zhigang's face returned to normal.

At this time, the little tail, who was focused on cartoons, finally found them, and immediately jumped up excitedly and threw himself directly into Zheng Juan's arms.

"Mom!"

"Ahem!" Wang Chong put his right hand into the front with a fist, deliberately coughed twice, and the little tail hurriedly called out to Dad.

Zheng Juan chuckled.

"Yo ho, I can still see my father, I thought you only had your mother in your eyes!" Wang Zhong said deliberately.

The little tail immediately let go of Zheng Juan and climbed into Wang Chong's arms: "Dad, why have you been going for so long, I miss you!" ”

The little guy also knows to avoid the important and change the subject.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "Little clever ghost." ”

"Mom and Dad are not at home these days, have you not listened to your grandparents?" Wang Chong removed the smile from his face and asked with a deliberately straight face.

Little Tail immediately said: "I'm obedient these days, if Dad doesn't believe it, you can ask Grandpa." ”

Zhou Zhigang also said cooperatively: "Little Tail is really obedient these days. ”

"What about at school? Did you listen to the teacher? ”

"Uh-huh! Dad, I'm very well-behaved. ”

"Then are there any classmates who bullied my little tail?"

Little Tail clenched his fists, puffed up his biceps, and said proudly: "Dad, I'm amazing, my strength is great, and my classmates don't dare to bully me." ”

The little guy because of his quiet temperament and delicate appearance, when he first entered the school, he was bullied by several boys together, but the little tail is only delicate, the little guy has been practicing boxing and kicking with Wang Zhong since he was five years old, and the talent is not bad, although the temperament is quiet, but also tenacious, how can there be a part of standing and being bullied, and he did it with those boys on the spot.

Although I didn't fight in the end, but the three boys didn't feel good, although I didn't pay these Wang Chong, but I couldn't run if I couldn't fight, guerrilla warfare kite flying, and I would sneak attack when I seized the opportunity, and the little tail was always in mind, especially the little guy learned very well in the yin.

Although the boys won the battle in the end, they no longer dared to provoke Little Tail.

The shadow of the flirtatious feet is too big.

Wang Chong said seriously to Little Tail: "That's good, but although we can't be bullied, we can't take the initiative to bully others." ”

"Dad, as I remember, we have to hoe the strong and help the weak, act chivalrous and righteous, and not bully the weak."

The little tail is a serious way.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "The idiom is good. ”

"Well, I'm number one in our class." Little Tail said proudly.

It made all three of them laugh.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Suhua's meals were ready, the staple food was steamed buns, meat buns, and the side dish was a fried sauerkraut with pork belly, not too much, and Lao Ma's tailor-made sweet potato porridge was also packed into a thermal lunch box.

More than 20 miles, it is only about ten minutes by car, and if you let the old car ride a bicycle, it will take 40 or 50 minutes.

The two rushed to the hospital, asked about the ward, and immediately rushed over.

Lao Ma lives in a separate ward, but it is spacious, Qu Xiuzhen and the children are in the ward, Zhou Cong sits at the head of the bed, chatting with Lao Ma, Feng Yue and Zhou Ling sit next to Qu Xiuzhen, chatting with her, but they don't see Zhou Ming.

The old horse still had a hanging needle in his hand, and he was infusion, and the bed board under it was adjusted to an angle of about thirty or forty degrees.

"Old horse! Old songs! The two of them held hands, Wang Chong carried the bag containing the thermos box in his hand, pushed the door open and greeted the two directly.

"Bingkun?"

"Juan'er?"

"Dad! Mother! ”

“……”

Seeing the two of them, everyone in the ward was surprised, unexpected and surprised.

Xiao Lingling was even more excited and rushed directly to Zheng Juan's side, holding Zheng Juan's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mom and Dad, you are back, I miss you to death." ”

"Mommy misses you too." Zheng Juan pinched Lingling's nose and said with a smile, with a little doting in her gentle eyes.

Wang Chong walked straight to the bed, looked at Ma Shouchang carefully, and then nodded, and said, "The face is not bad, and the spirit is also very good, it seems that the recovery is good." ”

"You kid still know to come back! Hum! The old horse snorted, turned his head, and got angry.

"Let's make it clear first, you were fine when Juan'er and I went out, who knew that it had only been half a month's work, and you would be like this."

"Humph!" The old horse snorted again, looking like an old child, but it made Wang Zhong laugh.

Take the thermos box containing sweet potato porridge to Zhou Cong: "Open it for your grandpa Ma." ”

"Okay Dad!" Zhou Cong's movements are very skillful, and he obviously has done a lot of work.

Ma Shouchang immediately turned his head, looked at the insulated lunch box in Zhou Cong's hand, and asked expectantly, "What are you eating today?" ”

The speed of attitude change is really faster than turning a book.

Wang Zhong looked at him, smiled slightly, and showed snow-white teeth: "Guess what? ”

"It won't be porridge again, will it?" Ma Shouchang's words were undisguised with disgust.

Seeing him like this, Qu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Then what do you want to eat?" ”

"Of course it's meat!" Ma Shouchang urged Zhou Cong: "Congcong, hurry up and open it and take a look." ”

It's a pity that he has a needle in his hand now, otherwise with the temperament of this old child, he will definitely rub his hands in anticipation regardless of the image.

It's a pity that Ma Shouchang's expectations are destined to be disappointed, and when he saw the porridge water exposed in the insulated lunch box opened by Zhou Cong, Ma Shouchang immediately became a bitter gourd face, looking disgusted.

"Why is it porridge again?" Zhou Cong picked up the spoon and stirred it in the lunch box, the porridge was not thick, the proportion of water was relatively high, it looked relatively thin, but the amount was quite a lot, of course, this was also prepared according to the doctor's instructions.

"Grandpa Ma, the doctor said that you can only eat liquid food now, and you can't eat anything else."

Zhou Cong smiled and patiently explained to Ma Shouchang that the old horse was still with a hanging needle, and the operation had only been done for a few days, although he was out of the danger period, his body was still very weak, he couldn't get out of bed, and he had to be helped to go to the toilet.

"Hey!" Ma Shouchang sighed, looked at Zhou Cong who was smiling, didn't continue to play a child's temper, and compromised: "Porridge is porridge!" ”

There is no way to compromise without compromise, looking at the posture, he is determined to eat this porridge.

With such a big bowl of porridge, Ma Shouchang would definitely not be able to finish it, Zhou Cong poured a bowl of lid, and Feng Yue took it to the small table next to Qu Xiuzhen's hand.

"Grandma Qu, you drink porridge!"

"Thank you, Yueyue." There are so many children, and they are all so well-behaved, even if they stay in the ward, Qu Xiuzhen feels very comfortable.

Zhou Cong scooped a spoonful, and it was always in the insulated box, the temperature of the porridge was still very high, and Zhou Cong carefully blew a few times before sending the spoon to Ma Shouchang's mouth.

"You taste it first and see if it's hot."

Ma Shouchang tried it cautiously, and then drank it directly.

"Grandpa Ma, is it delicious?" Looking at Zhou Cong's careful appearance, Ma Shouchang's face was filled with a happy smile, and he nodded: "It's delicious!" Fragrant! ”

The porridge was bland, but with Zhou Cong's feeding, it added countless happy flavors to it.

Wang Zhong walked in front of Li Suhua with a smile and took out a thermos box that was one size bigger than Ma Shouchang's hand, which was a three-layer thermos box that could be disassembled, the top two layers were filled with big meat buns, and the bottom layer was fried sauerkraut with pork belly.

Qu Xiuzhen's eyes lit up, she smiled, and she reached out directly to catch the leopard, but was knocked back by Wang Chongyi's chopsticks.

"What are you doing?" Qu Xiuzhen rubbed her hands and glared at Wang Chong, and the momentum of the former secretary and president was fully revealed.

Wang Chong had a straight face, glared back, and said solemnly: "Like a child, you have to wash your hands before and after eating, and you still need to be reminded." ”

"It's just that you have a lot of problems!"

Wang Zhong did not show weakness, met Qu Xiuzhen's gaze, and looked at him quietly, the chopsticks in his hand were ready to attack at any time.

Although Qu Xiuzhen was not convinced, her movements were very neat, she immediately got up and went to the toilet, washed her hands and came back, and did not forget to raise her hand in front of Wang Chong's eyes, and turned it over and over for Wang Chong to check: "This is going down!" ”

Wang Chong handed her the chopsticks, two large buns were stacked together, and a small bowl of fried sauerkraut with pork belly was also revealed.

Qu Xiuzhen started directly, grabbed the meat bun and took a bite, picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, and sent the pork belly with a piece of sauerkraut directly to her mouth.

After chewing a few bites, he immediately nodded and praised: "It's so fragrant, your mother didn't say anything about this bun." ”

"If you like to eat, eat more."

"This pork belly is also good, the sauerkraut is refreshing, not greasy at all, delicious!" Qu Xiuzhen commented while eating, looking like she was enjoying it.

Ma Shouchang, who was sitting on the hospital bed, straightened his eyes, and he originally thought that the porridge could barely enter his stomach, listening to the words that couldn't help coming out of Qu Xiuzhen's mouth, looking at the large pieces of pork belly, smelling the aroma of meat, and Qu Xiuzhen's appearance of enjoying the deliciousness, his throat surged uncontrollably, and he swallowed an unknown amount of saliva, and suddenly felt that the porridge fed by Zhou Cong himself in his mouth did not seem to be as fragrant as just now.

"Old song! Old songs! ”

"Let's talk about something!"

Qu Xiuzhen raised her eyes and looked at Ma Shouchang and didn't speak.

Ma Shouchang raised his left hand and pointed to the pork belly on the table, swallowed his saliva again, and then said, "Give me a piece of meat." ”

Qu Xiuzhen still didn't speak, just looked at her.

"Just one piece!" The old horse is still not giving up, he looks like he wants to wear it, and he clearly hasn't eaten in his mouth, but he still chirps.

Qu Xiuzhen picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly, walked to the hospital bed, the old horse subconsciously opened his mouth, but Qu Xiuzhen put the meat in front of the old horse's nose and slipped around, but stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Don't forget to joke: "You can smell it." ”

"Grandpa Ma, drink porridge!"

The old horse had a bitter face, sipping porridge with a loveless face, and his eyes never left the plate of fried sauerkraut with pork belly on the table.

Feng Yue and Lingling saw it, and they both covered their mouths and snickered.

As soon as he ate here, Zhou Ming came back with a thermos.

"Mom and Dad! Are you back? Seeing Wang Chong and Zheng Juan in the ward, this kid was so excited.

"Slow down, watch out for the thermos." Zheng Juan is afraid that this kid will be frizzy, don't drop the thermos.

Wang Chong said to Qu Xiuzhen: "I heard my mother say that Brother Jianguo went back?" ”

"Don't mention that bastard, Lao Ma has just come out of the danger period, and he can't wait to run back to Shanghai." In fact, Ma Jianguo was not in a hurry to return the injury, it was Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen who were afraid of delaying his work, and the situation on Lao Ma's side was also stable, and the rest only needed to recuperate quietly, so he was driven back.

However, this does not prevent Qu Xiuzhen from having different hearts, since the misunderstanding between the old couple and her son was resolved, the relationship has long been eased, but unfortunately now Ma Jianguo's work is in Shanghai, and his wife and children are also in Shanghai.

After all, at the age of her and Lao Ma, what she wants most is not for her children and grandchildren to wrap around their knees and share their families.

But both of them are old revolutionaries, with high consciousness, clean sleeves, and uprightness, compared to their own things, they would rather the son spend more time on work, contribute to the construction of the motherland, and contribute to the reform and opening up.

Wang Zhong saw through it but did not break it, but said very cooperatively: "Now is the critical time of reform and opening up, and the Shanghai market is the top priority. ”

"How can it be as exaggerated as you say, he is a small grassroots cadre."

Qu Xiuzhen said: "I look at him, I just want to reunite with my wife and children, he can't count on me and Lao Ma anyway." ”

Wang Chong didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "After eating later, I'll send you and the children back first, Juan'er and Congcong will watch here first, and I'll come over for them after sending them off, you go back tonight to sleep well, rest, and come back for me tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Shouchang was not discharged from the hospital in a day or two, Qu Xiuzhen slept in the ward for the past two days, and the meals were delivered by Li Suhua.

And she didn't treat Wang Zhong as an outsider, so naturally she wouldn't be polite to Wang Chong: "Cheng, listen to you." ”

sent Qu Xiuzhen home first, and then Wang Chongcai drove the children home, had dinner, and called Cai Xiaoguang again, asking him to drive to the hospital together and take Zheng Juan and Zhou Cong home.

It is more convenient to go back and forth for more than 20 miles, or it is more convenient to drive.

Qu Xiuzhen guards the day, Wang Chongshou at night, Zheng Juan is responsible for delivering meals, with Zheng Juan and Wang Chongzai, Qu Xiuzhen does not have to run at both ends every day, usually sleeps in the hospital at night, so as not to toss back and forth, an average of three or four days to go back home, take a bath and change clothes.

Although only two meals are delivered every day, but back and forth for more than 20 miles, twice a day, you still have to cook, take care of the children, fortunately, there is Li Suhua and the old couple, otherwise Zheng Juan really can't take care of it.

It's a pity that Zheng Juan can't drive, otherwise it would be easier.

Lao Ma has not been discharged from the hospital yet, and the two private detectives on the side of Shencheng have already inquired about what Wang Zhong wants to know.

Luo Shibin stayed in the hospital for three months, and spent almost all the savings he had in Shuiliu, but fortunately, he sold the metal wire drawing factory and got a lot of money from Artesian.

In eighty-four years, the two had not yet entered the garment industry, and it was not until the summer of eighty-five years that they caught the 'big boss' from Xiangjiang in the mouth of the artesian, and the specific process was not found by the four detectives, but the origin of the 'big boss' was clearly figured out by them.

The 'big boss' in Shui Ziliu's mouth is not a simple businessman, but a big brother among the many gangsters in Xiangjiang, who was engaged in smuggling business in the early years.

This big guy also has a bit of eyesight, knowing that mixing black is not a long-term solution, so he began to plan to change careers early, and took advantage of the convenience of the chassis and many younger brothers to start an OEM A goods business.

However, the labor cost of Xiangjiang is relatively much higher than that of the mainland, and after the change, the big man turned his attention to the mainland.

It was at this time that Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin got in touch with the big guy, and with the money they got from selling the metal wire drawing factory, the two started a garment factory.

It produces popular clothes, sneakers, and women's bags in the Hong Kong market.

Although Luo Shibin is not very good, but I have to say that he is indeed very capable, but also courageous, in just a few years, the scale of the two of their garment factories has expanded again and again, and now the market is not only limited to Xiangjiang, many inland coastal places are at the forefront of reform and opening up, there are their products sold.

It has also cooperated with several well-known brands in Xiangjiang.

In the garment industry, the cost is low, the profit is high, the threshold is not high, the time for Artesian Water and Luo Shibin to enter the industry is neither early nor late, and with the support of the Xiangjiang boss in their mouth, it is the brand of Xiangjiang.

At this time when domestic brands have not yet risen, the two have undoubtedly been at the forefront and are fighting on the outlet.

In just a few years, the assets have increased dozens of times, and the income can be described as a lot of money.

And according to the intelligence returned from two private detectives, Luo Shibin seems to be dissatisfied with the status quo recently and is planning something.

However, these more confidential things are only guessed by two private detectives based on the news.

Wang Chong is not very interested in these Wang Chong, what Wang Chong is most curious about is Shui Linglong, the daughter of Artesian Water.

Everyone has a heart for gossip, especially when it comes to understanding artesian water.

Sure enough, after more than a month of secret visits by two private detectives, they really found out a little information and found Shui Linglong's mother who was studying abroad.

The girl was not very old, just twenty-five or sixteen years old, a native of Greentown, because of family difficulties, she was not admitted to college, so she ran away from Shencheng early, and also met Luo Shibin by chance.

Luo Shibin was extremely generous, and the girl soon fell under Luo Shibin's money offensive, and then things were more bloody.

Through drugs, Shui Artesian had sex with the girl many times, and successfully impregnated the girl.

The girl gave birth to her daughter smoothly, got a lot of money from Luo Shibin, and had the opportunity to study abroad.

After that, Shui Artesian never had contact with other women again, not even a partner, and Luo Shibin bought a villa in Shenzhen to live in.
