At four o'clock in the evening, Liu Yanhong and Xiaohu picked up Li Feng back.

said to Wang Zhiyong and Luo Xiaohan, Zhou Mufan: After breakfast tomorrow, you will go back first, and Wang Zhiyong will go back to see Su Pengfei's audit situation. Go and see how the supermarkets in the provincial capital are preparing?

After Luo Xiaohan and Zhou Mufan went back, they dealt with the work at hand and other orders.

If you can come over to report a year ago and go to Qihe City to sell marble, we won't be able to go for the time being. You call Li Feng and do it.

Tomorrow, I will meet with someone from the renovation company to negotiate the hotel. Just go and sell marble. I will definitely be able to go back around December.

Wang Zhiyong and the three of them all nodded in agreement.

At five o'clock, Tang Hui drove back, and Wanru introduced Li Feng to him.

Tang Hui told Wanru that the venue for selling marble had also been chosen. Let's go over tomorrow and have a look.

The renovation company has also been found. I'll see them tomorrow.

After dinner, Wanru and Li Feng sat in the small living room on the second floor, and Liu Yanhong brought them tea and sat down.

Wanru told Li Feng about selling marble in southern Jiangsu Province.

After Li Feng heard this, he said with mixed feelings: "Nine cities want our marble, and it is very good to hear it." However, this journey cost us a lot of profit just in freight. Can you add some more money? ”

Wanru smiled and said: I asked you to come over, first, I will go to various cities with you, and it will be determined to meet with the main person in charge. Secondly, you will have to rent a space with us in the future.

As for shipping, don't worry. I'll figure it out. Besides, it's better to earn a portion than to stop production, right?

Li Feng thinks that this is the reason, if the production is stopped, everyone will lose their jobs. Hurriedly nodded and said:

Good. You're right. There are so many things done in the factory, and everyone is worried when they look at it. In the second half of the year, there was a construction site that went to our factory to pass a part of the marble.

The number is pitifully small compared to the city, and eight cars can be transported in one trip.

Li Kui and the others are also worried that if this continues, they will not be able to pay wages in the future, let alone bonuses.

Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay." I'll wait until the nine cities here are done. The stone factory will not be able to stop production for a while and a half. ”

Li Feng said again: "When I came over, my sister-in-law asked me to tell you that your second uncle is dying, that is, in the past few days. His grandson was also married. ”

Wanru just bowed her head slightly and didn't say anything.

There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Wang Zhiyong, Luo Xiaohan, and Zhou Mufan drove back.

Wanru and Liu Yanhong, Tang Hui, and Li Feng went to the eastern suburbs of the city to see the venue for selling marble.

There are many small factories here that are very quiet, and they are all closed, as if they were secret units. They came to a courtyard with a three-story office building.

There are very few people working in it, and the site is indeed large enough, about more than 300 acres, and there are warehouses around it.

Tang Hui took them to the office on the second floor and met with the owner here, whose surname was Wang.

After everyone sat down, Boss Wang smiled and said to Wanru: "Listen to Tang Dashao, you sell marble, and you only need an office and a few dormitories. The main thing is that there is a place to store marble. Is that right? ”

Wanru nodded and said, "That's right." Do you have anyone else here who is using it? ”

"Yes, this is a warehouse, and there are three units that have rented several warehouses, which will not affect your use of the space."

Liu Yanhong asked: "How much rent a year?" ”

Boss Wang smiled and said, "The venue, office and dormitory, 80,000 yuan a year." ”

Wanru knew that this was for Tang Dashao's sake, and said with a smile: "Yes." Next year we will come over and sign the contract to pay, is that okay? ”

"Yes, it's the end of the year. Just do as you say. ”

Wanru asked for his phone number, and after Liu Yanhong paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan, they drove away.

Tang Hui called Manager Qi of the decoration company and made an appointment to meet at the hotel.

When he came to the hotel, Manager Qi was already waiting.

Liu Yanhong opened the door and everyone walked into the hotel.

Wanru Qi Manager said: "Before starting the renovation, the floor tiles must be replaced. Can you pry the floor tiles off in the first year? ”

Manager Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not an easy job to replace the entire building. It's better to lay floor tiles faster. ”

After discussing the price with him again, Wanru finally said:

"Then I'll leave it to you. After the floor tiles are laid, see how well you are doing, and next year we will talk about painting the walls and decorating. ”

Boss Qi said with a smile: "Our company has been doing it for many years. Will definitely do a good job for you. Leave it to us with confidence. ”

After Wanru paid them 100,000 yuan according to the negotiated price, Liu Yanhong handed them the key.

The four of them drove to a seafood city for lunch. Go back and rest.

In the afternoon, Tang Hui was called away by Xiao Liangzi. Wanru and they also took their leave to him.

Wanru asked Liu Yanhong to go to the bank and withdraw 30,000 yuan in cash.

took out the piece of paper given by Secretary Liang, found the phone number of Director Chen, the person in charge of the Urban Construction Bureau in Sunan City, and called.

Make an appointment with him to meet him at a nearby café called Red Rose Café.

At two o'clock, Wanru, Liu Yanhong, and Li Feng came to the Red Rose Coffee House with the promotional photos he took.

As soon as everyone sat down, Director Chen came.

Wanru greeted him and sat down. The waiters came over and ordered a latte and four plates of nuts each.

Director Chen is a very kind middle-aged man, less than 1.7 meters tall, slightly chubby, and has good facial features.

He peeked at Wanru from time to time, and when he saw Wanru looking at him, he grinned and said straight to the point:

"Haha, I heard Secretary Liang say that you will come over next year to develop vegetable greenhouses, which is a good thing. It is in Pingjun County, and my hometown is Daqin Village. Now Daqin Village has become lively. ”

Wanru used a small spoon to slowly stir the coffee in the cup.

Looking at him with a smile, he said:

"Yes, it is decided to build a vegetable processing factory near Daqin Village, since we are so fateful, after the vegetable processing factory is set up, some workers will be needed, please choose some."

When Director Chen heard this, he thought that such a good thing was a favor for himself, but this person said it so tactfully, he was really a shrewd person.

Hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha, that's great." I'll introduce a few of my friends and family's children. It is not easy for some young people to go out to work, and it is good to be able to return to their hometowns to work. ”

Liu Yanhong said to him with a smile: "Chen Ju, I saw that both sides of the roads in the urban area were paved very early, and they were all very regular. You don't need a lot of marble, do you? ”

Chen Ju said with a smile: That's why I came. The old town is not needed. Because it was laid before the liberation, and it was indeed very formal.

However, as the city continued to expand, the outer city areas required resurfacing as they resurfaced. The main thing is that the seaside has to be replanned, and the roads need to be widened and renovated.

It is necessary not only to create a sanitary city, but also to create a garden-style tourism city.

Li Feng asked: "What is the price of your marble here?" ”

Chen Ju thought about it, and after saying the price, he hurriedly added: "Someone came to contact me this year, and the price is two, and if the quality is the same, of course we use the cheaper one." ”

After Wanru heard the price, she glanced at Li Feng and knew that the price she used to sell was two yuan cheaper than here.

In fact, their price is understandable, and the consumption level here is generally higher than that of their own province.

Wanru smiled and said:

"It stands to reason that Secretary Liang is pulling the strings, and our marble should have been cheaper. However, because the distance is relatively long, the shipping cost is correspondingly higher, so I can only sell it to you at the lowest price you say. How is it? ”

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, thinking that they would choose the highest price. It seems that these people are not so aggressive.

Hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes." We need it in March after the start of spring. Can it be delivered in time? ”

Li Feng hurriedly said: "We have rented a venue in the suburbs, and we will soon deliver it here, and when the time comes, as long as we receive your call, we will deliver it to the designated place." ”

After speaking, he also handed him the introduction of the product he brought, and the photos of the laying and flipped through for him to watch.

Director Chen saw that the various products needed were complete. Nodding with satisfaction, he said:

"Okay. We will use your marble. Let's sign an agreement, I hope your quality must pass, if after laying, there is a problem is not good for anyone. ”

Li Feng hurriedly said: Some cities in our province use our marble, and if one is broken, we will pay five yuan.

Of course, in the process of transportation, if there is a mistake, it is inevitable, when the time comes, we will solve the specific problem, how?

Chen Ju bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

Li Feng exchanged phone numbers and WeChat accounts with him, and handed him some product introductions that he copied.

He took out the agreement sheet he had used before, and asked him to sign it after he read it.

Because Chen Ju still had something to do, he declined the request to eat together.

Li Feng took out two bottles of wine, handed him a paper bag containing 30,000 yuan, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's almost the New Year, I'll give you two bottles of wine to drink." ”

Chen Ju resolutely refused to accept it, Wanru sent them out of the coffee house, Li Feng sent him to the car, and put the wine in the car by the way.

The three of Wanru also got into the car and drove out of Sunan City.

It took them seven days, and all eight cities were contacted one by one, and only Qihe City was left to Luo Xiaohan when he took office.

When I returned to Fengcheng, it was already the evening of December 1.

Wanru asked Liu Yanhong to go back to the hotel and drive home by herself.

Wanru knew that when her second uncle died, her father would be very sad. I was also mentally prepared to be scolded.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her father looking at her with a dark old face and resentment in his eyes.

Wanru flattered him and said, "I'm sorry! I can't come back. Arrange for Wang Zhiyong to go over for me. Hehe, don't be too upset. If you are angry, you are the one who suffers. ”

Zhang Fakui glanced at her hatefully and said, "You have to go and see your aunt in the air." Our brothers are just one of your daughters, but you don't show up at the critical moment. People in my hometown are talking about it. ”

Wanru thought to herself, you always know that it is still too little. When Zhang Wangcai was the first young man in the village, the discussion in the village was even stronger. There is no such thing as you when you cherish your feathers.

But after thinking about it, I can't anger him anymore at this time.

At this time, Wang Cuiping walked down from upstairs, saw the surprise on Wanru's face, and hurriedly asked, "My daughter is back, what do you want to eat?" ”

Wanru hurriedly smiled and said, "What do you eat?" ”

Wanru diligently refilled the tea for her father and asked, "Are you okay with your heart during this time?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wanru's words attracted the anger of the old man.

He snorted angrily and said, "Stinky girl! Why didn't you take out the kind of medicinal wine you got earlier? If your second uncle drinks it, maybe he can live a few more days. You two are always mysterious, guarding me like a thief. ”

Wanru's face was blindfolded, originally she cared about him, but it caused him to complain again.

The old man glanced in the direction of the kitchen again, lowered his voice and snorted, "Your mother gave your uncle two bottles, can't you give your second uncle two bottles?" ”

Wanru looked helpless, so she told the origin of the medicinal wine, of course, it can't be said that the rest was distributed to the old people. Then he's going to be jealous again.

I had to say, "You can't buy this wine even if you have money." Even if there is a secret recipe, the cost is also frighteningly high. When we're busy for a while, we'll find a way to start a small brewery and try our hand at brewing. ”

Wanru looked at him and was deflated.

Hurriedly got up and walked into the kitchen to help my mother cook.

Wang Cuiping whispered to Wanru: After we drank your kind of medicinal wine, we slept better and felt a lot more comfortable.

I secretly gave your uncle two bottles, but your uncle had a big mouth and came to ask your father for it. Because of this incident, I had a big fight with your father, and I separated from him, and I slept on the second floor.

We've been in a cold war for days.

Wanru looked helpless after hearing this. I'm doing bad things with good intentions.

I had to ask in a low voice, "Is there anything else?" ”

Wang Cuiping shook her head and said: It's long gone. Your eldest brother also has high blood pressure and is not in good health. I'll give him a bottle too. As a result, your sister-in-law also rushed to drink it, and it was finished in a few days.

Your sister-in-law came back to me.

I told him that it is very precious, even if you are reluctant to drink it, what can I do. Your father and sister-in-law didn't believe it either, and they rummaged around.

Wanru faints when she thinks about it, her sister-in-law is a selfish ghost, and she can't always see the height of her eyebrows.

Hum! Be careful that I put little shoes on you!

As the eldest in the family, there is no sense of responsibility.

Wanru made four side dishes with her mother and asked her mother to bring a bottle of red wine.

After watching his parents sit down, he poured three glasses each, and said with a smile: "Dad, I'll have a drink with your second elder to relieve your troubles." ”

Zhang Fakui didn't want to be unpleasant at this time, so he took a sip of his wine glass. I picked up the chopsticks and put the shredded potatoes in my mouth.

Wanru and her mother also took a sip and put down their cups.

When a glass of wine was drunk, Wanru poured half a glass each, looked at her father, and said solemnly:

Dad, the greatest luck in your life is not to give birth to me and my two brothers, but to marry my mother.

Ask yourself, is my mother a good wife and mother?

It is true that you are the head of the family, but my mother gave birth to us, and not only had to go to work, but also dragged the three of us to school; When she got home, she did all the food and clothing. There was never a word of complaint.

Wang Cuiping listened to it, tears in her eyes, and soon tears of sadness fell.

Wanru continued: If you marry someone like my second aunt, you will suffer from it.

You are a good father to our brothers; However, we think that mom is the greatest.

For so many years, you have given away money and money, although she is not happy in her heart, but she has not stopped you.

A family, only a tolerant and open-minded hostess, can live a peaceful and harmonious life. You are just in the midst of bliss, and you don't know blessed.

At this time, Wang Cuiping cried directly.

Wanru brought her a tissue, but she didn't persuade her, and being able to cry was also a kind of venting.

Seeing that his father was speechless, he looked at his wife with a little apology in his eyes.

Wanru said again:

You used to watch us grow up, but now not to mention our brothers, even your grandchildren have started families.

One of my brothers is the deputy mayor and the other is the vice governor, and he listens loudly and looks brilliant. However, you have also been a leader for a long time, so you should know that with great power comes great responsibility.

They are also very competitive in their circles, so their daily work is not easy.

Let's talk about me. I have more children, so I have to work harder.

There are about 40,000 people who have followed me for a living. Let's be honest with you, I don't dare to relax for a moment in order to make a few enterprises run normally.

We may not be able to take care of you two elders, so you can be considerate of us, and in the future, we will take care of each other and love each other. The two of you are harmonious and healthy, and our brothers can work with peace of mind when they are outside.

I told you about the medicine and wine just now.

I was a little cautious, just in case you gave it to the second uncle. In my heart, you are the ones I care about the most.

You complained just now, give the second uncle two bottles and he can live a few more days.

I said something disrespectful, the second uncle died when he died, and no one had the power to return to heaven. It's not that there is a saying, 'Hades let people die in the third watch, and he can't keep people until the fifth watch'.

You did your best while he was alive. You once said that I was thinking of my brother, and you were not wrong thinking about your brother.

We didn't do anything wrong.

However, what I gave to my brothers was earned by myself and by my own own choosing; And what you give to your brother is what he asks for from you, and the funniest thing is that you ask me for it, and then give it to your brother, and you don't have to say a word of gratitude.

Do you think the two of us can be in the same mood?

You take it with your left hand and send it out with your right hand.

When my mother-in-law was alive, she once said, 'There are only eight buckets of rice in life, and I am not satisfied with the rise when I go all over the world'.

I'm sure that your old man only has eight buckets of rice. The reason why you live without worrying about food and clothing is all because of the blessings that my mother has brought to you.

I'll put my words here, if you still can't carry it like this, I will take my mother to the capital and make you a loner.

After Zhang Fakui heard this, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and this stinky girl was heart-wrenching and every sentence was to the bone. But if you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that.

Especially the last sentence, she can definitely do it. Rolled his eyes directly at her. Then he took a glass of wine and drank it all.

At this time, the old lady listened to her daughter's words and was glad that she gave birth to a caring little padded jacket. Being able to speak such a great truth not only fills my heart with sunshine, but also blooms with flowers.

Sweep away the haze that lingers in my heart during this time.

After a while, Zhang Fakui had a straight face and a sincere attitude, patted his wife's arm warmly, and said:

Wanru was right. kid, I was wrong. You dissipate your anger, and I will change it later. ”

Wang Cuiping wiped her tears, but at this time, what she wiped was not sad tears, but moving tears.

Glancing at him fiercely, his face was a little angry, and he said with some disgust:

"Stinky old man, over the years, I have repeatedly tolerated you, but not only did you not appreciate it, but also complained again and again. These days, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I become, if it weren't for the sake of the children, I would have the idea of divorcing you. ”

Zhang Fakui had a flattering smile on his face, his eyes were full of warmth, and he said flatteringly: Not really! We're old husbands and wives.

Wanru is right, you are indeed a good wife and mother.

I married you, and there was green smoke on our family's ancestral grave, and you gave me three good children, and I am very grateful to you. I'll get rid of my bad temper later.

Wanru saw her mother burst into tears and smiled, and a smile gradually spread on her face, so she struck while the iron was hot:

"Mom, you can also dissipate your anger, just say it. The two of you are in harmony, and my brother and their New Year's holidays can be regarded as a family reunion. Only if you live well, our brothers can do things smoothly. ”

Wanru raised her glass again, motioned for the two to raise her glass, touched them lightly, and drank a harmonious wine together.

Then he said to his parents with a smile: During the Spring Festival, when Chunqiu and Huashi came back from vacation, I took them to Mangshan to see my uncle and asked him to teach the two children martial arts.

If Uncle Shi brews medicinal wine, I will bring you some more.

There won't be many, though. Don't make any more unpleasant noise, you two keep it to yourself and drink slowly.

Four side dishes, a bottle of red wine, and after a meal, Wanru coaxed the two old children to release their suspicions, and her heart was full of joy.

While sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Zhang Fakui said to Wanru: "We have talked to Spring and Autumn and Huashi. After the Spring Festival, I will return to the United States with them. Your uncle and aunt also went with you. ”

"Okay. The biggest advantage of the United States is that the air pollution is lighter, and the four of you old people can be companions together. Uncle David was also there and got along well with him. ”
