Chapter 130: Second Spring of Career
Wu Chunyan didn't even have lunch at home that day and hurriedly left with the agreement.
Before leaving, he went to find his good friend Wei Minghua, and the two met at the door of Wei's house.
"Swallow, you're back."
"Ah! How come you've lost so much weight? Is college so tiring?"
Seeing his friend’s face becoming so thin that it was almost unrecognizable, Wei Minghua pulled Wu Chunyan’s hand with heartache.
After saying that, he thought for a while, then loosened his hand, took out a big unity note from his pocket and stuffed it into his friend's hand.
"I've almost spent all my New Year's salary. This is all I have left. You can use it first."
"Minghua, no need, I..."
"Oh, take it. Don't study too hard at school. Your health is the most important thing."
Wu Chunyan couldn't help but hug Wei Minghua who was still chattering.
"Yes, I know everything. Thank you, Minghua."
It was nice to have someone around who cared about her during her worst moments.
…
Fu Zhengze relied on Director Wang and now he has become a gangster and is away from home every day.
My career has ushered in a second spring. I have a big tree to lean on for shade, and I have a few minions under me to help me with things.
At this moment, he was sitting in a chair, gently applying cold cream on the back of his hand with his fingers.
"Boss, are we going to take action tonight?"
"Since the factory is closed now, it's a good time to make a big profit!"
The one who nodded and bowed was the cunning second of the three people who fell into the toilet earlier, Hu Ermao.
"Keep your voice down, it's not like I can't hear you."
Fu Zhengze frowned and glanced at Hu Ermao who was bending over.
"Yes, yes, yes."
He thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Are your two brothers reliable?"
He still cares about this, after all, he has been cheated.
Damn it, I thought of my stupid brother who is now being sent to labor camp.
unlucky!
"Of course, boss, don't worry about that. They are all honest people."
"If nothing else, he's got a lot of strength. Just the right amount for tonight's work."
"Okay then, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
Fu Zhengze looked impatient. He was following Director Wang now, and because of excessive indulgence, his energy was inevitably a little low.
He always makes up for his sleep when he has nothing to do during the day, and now he feels a little sore in his waist.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Hu Ermao smiled apologetically, carefully looked around, and then flashed out of an alley.
"What the hell, you're just a butt seller, why are you putting on airs with me!"
"A grown man is acting like a bitch, even putting on lotion. How disgusting!"
Hu Ermao started getting involved in gangs last year, originally hoping to make some extra money.
He didn't expect to be assigned to work under Fu Zhengze. He really looked down on such people from the bottom of his heart.
"Damn, if someone hadn't messed up last time, I would have gotten the gold bars a long time ago."
Hu Ermao was cursing as he walked.
…
The New Year is almost over, and Xie Yi is about to return to the team. The train back to Guangzhou is at 10:10 pm.
The Xie family of four arrived at the train station early, and Xie Yi was carrying a lot of bags.
Inside the bag were a few jars of pickled vegetables made by Gao Xiulan herself, a new set of clothes, dry food, and a few manuscripts.
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong copied books when they had nothing to do recently. They had almost finished copying the math book, so they gave it to him first.
Gao Xiulan put her hands in her pockets and looked at Xie Yi, who was wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, and gave him detailed instructions.
"Son, be careful when you're in the car, and don't sleep so soundly at night."
"Xiu Lan, he's grown up now, he knows everything."
Xie Da Jiao said this, but she moved forward and straightened her son's collar.
"Old Xie, let's go buy some oranges for our son to eat on the train. I just saw someone selling them at the entrance."
Gao Xiulan pulled Xie Dajiao and walked out without stopping, leaving the space for the young couple.
"Xiaotong, do you miss me when I'm not at home?"
There weren't many people waiting for the bus at this time, so Xie Yi took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to chat in a low voice.
"Of course, you have to take care of yourself outside."
Lin Xiaotong had a smile on her face. She secretly pulled Xie Yi's big hand, but quickly let go.
"Just study for a short while when you have time, and don't force yourself."
"Xiaotong, don't worry, I will definitely take a closer look."
Reluctantly? Not really.
To men, "reluctantly" means "not okay". There is no word "not okay" in men's dictionary.
"Health is the most important thing. I'll go to the island to see you in the summer."
As she spoke, she also wanted to go to the island in the summer to eat coconuts, go to the beach, and feel the comfortable sea breeze.
"Xiaotong, you are so nice."
Xie Yi didn't know what the person in front of him was thinking. He looked at Xiaotong who was looking at him, and his heart was pounding.
About ten minutes later, Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao came back. Xie Dajiao handed a small bag of oranges to Xie Yi and patted her son on the shoulder.
“Woo woo—”
The train roared, the conductor swung open the carriage door, and everyone waiting for the train stood up and squeezed into the car with their luggage.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaotong, I'm leaving."
Xie Yi also picked up the luggage on the ground and strode onto the train, waving to his family before leaving.
Gao Xiulan, Xie Dajiao and Lin Xiaotong also rushed to the platform and waved vigorously at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi sat by the window, poked his head out and shouted, "You guys go back too."
As the train sped past, the figures of my family gradually became smaller and finally disappeared from my sight.
He touched his left chest and found a small family photo in his inner pocket.
His heart was beating non-stop, and everything he was doing now was to protect his family who lived peacefully in the alley.
He is an ordinary man who only wishes for the stability of the country and the health of his family.
…
The three members of the Xie family also went back, wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets, with their hands in their pockets, walking back side by side.
It was almost half past ten, and the temperature was very cold at night. The air I exhaled turned into white mist.
Gao Xiulan shrank her neck and said, "It's freezing cold in this damn weather."
Xie Da Jiao held a flashlight in his hand and squinted his eyes as he said, "There's still some mutton soup left on the stove. Let's heat it up and drink it to warm ourselves up when we get back."
Lin Xiaotong echoed: "I also want to roast a sweet potato by the stove."
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
The three of them quickly walked towards the alley. At this time, every household was asleep.
The alley was dark and quiet, with only the occasional barking of cats and dogs.
The three of them quietly entered the yard without disturbing the people in the compound.
…
Somewhere in Beijing, someone was working hard, and intermittent voices could be heard from time to time.
A voice urged: "Big Brother and Third Brother, did you dig it up?"
Someone got impatient: "Don't rush me, aren't we digging?"
"That's right, second brother. You asked us to dig a hole in the middle of the night. Is this what you call a big deal?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Third brother, please use more strength!"
Most of the soil was frozen in the winter, making it difficult to dig. After digging for a while, my palms felt burning.
But we have to dig even if it is difficult, step by step.
A flashlight emitted a faint light, shining on the ground, and you could vaguely see a hole dug in the ground.
"Second brother, your flashlight isn't bright enough to see clearly. Don't dig in the wrong direction."
"Tsk, I forgot to change the batteries for this flashlight today. I hope it can last longer."
"Brother, is there something good buried under this tree?"
It was late at night and the wind started to blow. The leaves on the trees made a rustling sound, which was a bit scary to hear late at night.
"How would I know that? How could I possibly guess what the higher-ups were thinking?"
After saying that, the flashlight in his hand flashed several times in succession and then went out completely due to lack of battery.
This time they really had to work in the dark, and the three of them could only rely on the moonlight to continue digging the hole with shovels.
"Big...Big Brother, Second Brother, did you hear any strange noises?"
"Third brother, are you trying to slack off again?"
"Really not, listen carefully!"
