Chen Xiang never understood this big question: what do people live for? But he was always trying to figure it out.

Perhaps, as a wise man said, life is to constantly search for the meaning of life. But that answer was a hole in the air for him. For him now, running the factory well, making the factory earn money, paying wages, and allowing his family to live a good life is the greatest meaning of survival. He thought of Wang Yan, the woman who was his wife, strange, why did Wang Yan always want to go to graduate school, she really had perseverance, and she would have given up a long time ago if she was herself. He asked Wang Yan why he wanted to take the test. Wang Yan said: It was her dream. "What does her dream, hehe, look like?" Chen Xiang was a little curious.

However, since knowing that Wang Yan was admitted, Chen Xiang also had more hope in his heart, as if a seed had sprouted in his heart, and a new hope began to sprout in his heart, he looked forward to May more than that Wang Yan, because May 10 was the time for Wang Yan to go to school to take the re-examination.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiang arrived at the factory and told Wang Yan about the business trip, and Wang Yan was very happy after hearing it. Hurry up and prepare for contracts and brand licensing.

The days are busy again, and everything is going on in their selfless busyness. In the blink of an eye, it has arrived in the warm May.

It was a fresh morning, and yesterday a heavy rain washed the cement floor of the factory yard, and the branches and leaves of the fruit trees and willows in the yard grew more luxuriantly, and the unknown flowers exuded a fresh fragrance. The rows of garlic planted by Chen Xiang have already grown sharp green leaves.

Today is an important day for Wang Yan, she is going to school to take the re-examination. Wang Yan was a little nervous, she hadn't dressed up properly for a long time, she took out her favorite crimson dress from the closet and put it on, and found a long-sleeved belt to prevent it from being cold over there. It's late spring and early summer, and the weather varies from region to region.

"Wife, you prepare well and strive to pass. I'll be back when I'm done with the retest. Chen Xiang pushed the door in from the outside and saw Wang Yan about to zip the bag.

"Well, the re-examination should not be difficult, I heard that it is divided into a written test and an interview, and the question type is simple. I have already bought a return ticket, and I will retake the test at 2 pm tomorrow, if I pass, the school will arrange a physical examination the next morning, and I can come back the night after tomorrow. Wang Yan said.

"Well, is that girl going?" Chen Xiang asked another girl named Yan Bingbing, who was two years younger than Wang Yan, who learned about Wang Yan's contact information from the school's admissions teacher, called Wang Yan, and the two agreed to take a train together to attend an interview at a school in the far west of the country.

"Go, I made an appointment with her to meet her on the train. The ticket is fixed by me online, the same carriage, she should have taken the ticket. Wang Yan said.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Xiao Mu walked in slowly, Xiao Mu has been almost two weeks, this child is more independent, usually except when she is sleepy and wants to sleep, she has to be held by adults to coax her to sleep, usually playing with mud or small wooden sticks in the yard by herself, and sometimes she will play with the children of the Yaoyao family.

"Dad makes a cup of milk powder for Xiaomu, Xiaomu waits." Chen Xiang bent down and touched Xiao Mu's face and said.

Xiao Mu walked up to Wang Yan, inertly shouted 'Mom', and touched the backpack that Wang Yan put on the bed to take away with his little hand.

"Come, mom hug Xiaomu." Wang Yan was in a good mood, bent down, picked up Xiao Mu, and happily teased Xiao Mu: "Our Xiao Mu has grown taller, taller than my mother." “

Kogi giggled.

"Come, kiss Mom."

Xiao Mu didn't like others to kiss her little mouth, so she turned her face sideways and let Wang Yan kiss her little face. "Mother's little heart." Wang Yan kissed Xiao Mu's face hard and said.

"Mom is going to school, I'll be back in two days, come, Xiaomu come over to eat milk powder." Chen Xiang greeted Xiaomu with the soaked milk powder.

"Is the little brother in the house?" Tian Xiaobing's voice rose outside.

"Yes." Chen Xiang put the milk powder on the table, opened the door and came out, "Your sister-in-law is going to school today, and I will send her in a while." What's the matter with shouting at me? ”

"There is a shortage of materials in the cabinets ordered by Tiantongyuan customers, and I have to buy materials today. After you send my sister-in-law in a while, go and buy the materials back. ”

"Okay. What material and how many boards do you want? ”

"The cabinet is particleboard, rosewood-colored, 15 sheets of 18 thick, 6 sheets of 5 centimeters are enough. The door panels are all rubberwood, 22 thick, and I counted a total of 10 sheets. Tian Xiaobing said.

"Okay, I'll buy it after I send Wang Yan in a while. What's missing? Chen Xiang looked at Tian Xiaobing and asked.

"There's nothing else missing. That's all, then I'll go to work in the workshop. With that, Tian Xiaobing turned around and walked towards the workshop.

"Hmm."

When Chen Xiang returned to the dormitory, Wang Yan was already feeding Xiaomu milk powder, "Have you packed up all your things?" ”

"Packed up." Wang Yan wiped the milk powder from the corner of Xiaomu's mouth and said.

"Then let's go, it's four o'clock in more than an hour, it's late, it's too late." I'll have to buy the materials after delivering you. Chen Xiang urged.

"Hmm. What about Xiaomu? Wang Yan asked with concern. This child is not pestering, but after all, he is a child and needs to be taken care of.

"I'll take it, no one will look at the factory, I'm not at ease." Chen Xiang said. Xiaomu also likes to follow his father, and every time he hears his father's car, he runs to his father's car and wants to go out with his father. Chen Xiang is also used to taking his little daughter out to run errands.

"Where is Daddy?" Xiao Mu asked with a small face.

"Dad sent mom to the train station, Xiaomu and dad to send mom together, okay?" Chen Xiang covered Xiao Mu's two small hands and smiled kindly.

"Xiaomu sent Mom with Dad."

"Well, that's good." Chen Xiang gently touched Xiao Mu's little face and said.

"Let's go, help me get my bag, I'll hug Xiaomu." Wang Yan said.

The two of them carried Xiaomu out of the door, and when they passed by the door of the office, Chen Xiang shouted inside: "Chen Feng, close the door, I will send your sister-in-law to the station." Something, call me on my phone. ”

"Hey, here we are." Inside, I promised.

Chen Xiang drove out, and Chen Feng closed the door of the factory in the back. The door of their factory must be closed even during the day, otherwise, the idle cadres in the village will come to find fault, just to think of benefits, and sometimes pull a small cart to pick up firewood directly from the waste of the factory, as if the factory is open for them. Chen Xiang's only way to deal with this is to work behind closed doors, and he really has no energy or money to deal with their endless greed.

April has passed, and many of the roses on both sides of the road have fallen into color, and the trees that grow on the side of the road are verdant and green, blocking the sun that is not hot.

Wang Yan hugged Xiaomu, teasing Xiaomu to play, Chen Xiang focused on driving, when the car arrived at the West Railway Station, Chen Xiang in order to buy materials in a hurry, he didn't care about sending Wang Yan into the station, parked the car on the side of the road, hugged Xiaomu from Wang Yan's hand and said: "Xiaomu, come, dad hug." Mom is going to school. I'll go home in a few days and hurt my baby. “

"Well, mom will come back in a few days, and Xiaomu listens to dad." Wang Yan took the bag on her back, touched Xiaomu's face, said hello to Chen Xiang again, and turned to leave.

When Xiao Mu saw that his mother was gone, he vaguely realized the meaning of 'sending his mother', and cried: "I want to go with my mother, I want to go with my mother." “

"Mom will come back in a few days, Xiaomu doesn't cry, Dad takes Xiaomu to buy materials." Chen Xiang stroked his little daughter's head and coaxed.
