For the next period of time, stability was the main theme.
Wang Yuxiu suddenly wanted to go back to Xijiang and planned to live there alone for a few months.
"Mom, the New Year will be here soon. Why are you shouting that you want to go back to Xijiang? Will you come back then?"
Du Shaojie was a little puzzled. He didn't know why his mother suddenly wanted to go back to her hometown.
In recent years, Wang Yuxiu's health has been good. She rarely gets sick and her chronic diseases have been controlled. It can be seen that she has adapted to the climate and diet in the south and there is no problem of not getting used to it.
"Alas, I often dream about your father recently. He blames me for not visiting him for so long. I want to go back for a while, talk to him when I am free, and come back after Qingming Festival next year."
Hearing this, Du Shaojie's heart was also moved.
"Mom, wait for me for a few days, and I will go back with you then."
Du Shaojie did not continue to struggle and agreed to accompany Wang Yuxiu back.
This was a pleasant surprise for Wang Yuxiu. All of her children have a promising future, but it also means that they are all very busy. Her
son has created a career and often needs to travel all over the country. The two daughters work in state-owned enterprises and government agencies respectively, and they don't have many holidays.
Now the busiest son is willing to accompany her back. He is happy but also a little worried: "Xiaojie, I will go back alone, you do your own things, don't delay the business."
"Mom, I will arrange the time, don't worry."
Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile. In fact, he always has time, it depends on how to arrange the time.
After a few days.
He arranged some trivial matters and accompanied Wang Yuxiu to fly back to Xijiang.
Now the yard at home is gone, but he bought two adjacent buildings. The house compensated for the demolition has also been cleaned up, just right for Wang Yongli and others.
After returning home to rest for a night, he accompanied Wang Yuxiu to buy some incense, candles, and paper money the next day to sweep the grave for his father.
Wang Yuxiu sat in front of the tombstone for a long time, talking non-stop, as if chatting with the other party.
Du Shaojie walked away after paying homage. His mother must have a lot to say, so just let her say enough.
They left the cemetery at noon.
"Mom, I want to buy a new cemetery for my father. What do you think?"
He neglected this matter first. He had no feelings for his original father, unlike his mother and two sisters who had lived together day and night and had long cultivated deep feelings.
But as a son, he should have considered this issue earlier.
"Yes, it is time to change his place. Back then, your father almost went to the Martyrs' Cemetery, but in the end it didn't work out because it was not approved. Let's ask more and see which cemetery is good now."
Wang Yuxiu was very relieved to hear her son say this.
Maybe it was because of her mood today, she couldn't help but talk about the past. Du Shaojie didn't know about this before, and it's too late to know now.
At noon, they ate something outside casually, and in the evening, a group of people went to a local restaurant and had a delicious meal.
Let's not talk about Wang Yongli and others, anyway, the mother and son had a very happy meal.
After returning home, Du Shaojie called Liu Ying and made an appointment to have lunch together tomorrow at noon.
Thinking that they were about to meet, Liu Ying didn't ask about her nephew's situation. Her nephew Liu Dongfang currently works for [Dingxin International (Shencheng) Company]. Although the aunt and nephew talk on the phone from time to time, they rarely talk about work.
"Okay! See you tomorrow."
The two quickly ended the call, and Du Shaojie called the store manager of [Xichuan Restaurant] and asked him to inquire about the cemetery.
Unexpectedly, the store manager was very clear about the situation in this regard. A relative of his family passed away some time ago, and he helped to understand the matter in this regard. He
recommended two places to the boss on the spot.
The next day.
After breakfast, Du Shaojie went to the two cemeteries mentioned by the store manager to take a look. The conditions are definitely better than the current cemeteries. He didn't know much about this, and consulted a lot of talents to make a decision.
The location must be the best. He reserved a piece of land and planned to pay after Wang Yuxiu saw it.
At noon, he went back to take a shower and then went to see Liu Ying.
"Dongfang has done well for me and is now the head of the department. I didn't give him special care for you. He got all this through his own efforts."
Du Shaojie is very good at speaking, and Liu Ying was very happy after hearing this.
After finishing the meal, the two left the restaurant and got into the car. Du Shaojie asked about the cemetery.
"Your father should have been qualified to enter the Martyrs' Cemetery. Maybe your family didn't understand it very well and didn't take the initiative to fight for it. It's really a pity. However, the cemetery you just visited is not bad."
Du Shaojie had a basic idea in his mind after hearing what the other party said.
The next day, he took his mother Wang Yuxiu to the cemetery to take a look. The other party was very satisfied with the environment and facilities here.
Du Shaojie paid all the money on the spot. There are still many follow-up matters. It should be moved here before Qingming Festival next year for reburial.
"That's good. When I die, I will stay with your father."
Wang Yuxiu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.
Du Shaojie did not respond to his mother's words, but he understood her intentions and would keep this in mind.
Next, he accompanied his mother to Chunfeng Lane for several times. The resettlement houses were all put in the hands of the demolished households. Wang Yongli and his family are still living here these days.
I also saw a few old neighbors, but after the demolition and relocation, many people no longer live here.
Liang Meiqin's parents are not at home. The old couple are said to have gone to Rongcheng for a trip and have not been seen for several months. As for Qi Yan's parents, they are both in Beijing and cannot be seen either.
"Xiaojie, go back. Come back when your father moves his grave."
Wang Yuxiu didn't want to delay her son's time too much, so she asked Du Shaojie to leave quickly.
Du Shaojie actually had nothing to do when he went back, so he explained to his mother and continued to stay there.
Before she knew it, it was the coldest time of the year. Wang Yuxiu might not be used to the cold in the northwest, so she got sick and it took her half a month to get better.
Du Shaojie didn't dare to let her stay here alone, so he took her back to Yangcheng. The two agreed to come back before the Qingming Festival, and then they would get their father's affairs done at once.
From the snowy world of ice and snow, back to the warm spring-like south, Wang Yuxiu became energetic again.
As the New Year was approaching, Du Shaojie received a call from Pang Weidong, Xu Bo and others, saying that this year's New Year's Day was a cross-century day, and they should find a place to get together.
At the turn of the century, people probably only encounter it once in their lifetime.
"Why don't we go to Hong Kong for a few days?"
Du Shaojie made up his mind. There are many ways to celebrate, and it's also good to change places for a few days.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo had no objection. He told Ye Weiming about this, and the other party was willing to join in the fun. Then he contacted Qin Lu again, and more and more people were linked together, including Cai Jing and Yu Mo, who were willing to go.
He thought about it and told his two sisters about it.
It's a pity that it's not easy for them to go out. They have to ask for leave and report, which is very troublesome.
"Xiao Ya, how about this, let's get together as a family during the Spring Festival. If it's not convenient for you to ask for leave, my mother, Xiao Mei and her family can go to Shanghai."
"Brother, I'll just ask for leave in advance. Don't worry, I can still do this."
Xiao Ya agreed to the Spring Festival party very happily. At that time, she and Shen Rui will bring their children to Guangzhou.
Two days before New Year's Day.
Du Shaojie and others arrived in Hong Kong one after another, and Qi Yan also came with her daughter to welcome the arrival of the millennium together.
He asked Liang Meiqin and Winnie to book the banquet hall of the Harbour Hotel in advance. On the last day of the year, he will hold a welcome banquet here and welcome the millennium with his friends.
Here, you can see the grand fireworks show through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain, which can add to the festive atmosphere.
In the evening of the 31st.
Du Shaojie, Qi Yan, Liang Meiqin and others came to the banquet hall first, and the company's senior management also arrived at the same time.
Next, Ye Weiming, Pang Weidong, Xu Bo, Cai Jing, Yu Mo, Qin Lu and others arrived one after another, and the whole banquet hall suddenly became lively.
Du Shaojie is a person who doesn't like to talk about ostentation, and such activities are rarely held. Perhaps this day is too special, even she joined the carnival.
When the time was almost up, Du Shaojie took the lead in saying a few words of blessing, and everyone opened champagne.
Today's banquet is a Chinese buffet, and white wine, red wine, beer and various drinks are also prepared. Those who can come today are all our own people. Except for the company's executives who are a little restrained, everyone else can let go.
Cai Jing looked at Du Shaojie, who was different from usual, and suddenly remembered the past.
Back then, when Du Shaojie was still a young boy, she and Director Luo knew each other. In the blink of an eye, Director Luo has passed away, and that young boy has grown into a towering tree.
Yu Mo also has the same feeling. She still remembers clearly today that it was Du Shaojie who took the risk to send her away.
If the other party had not acted decisively, Yu Mo might have turned into a pile of yellow earth.
Only a few people present knew about Du Shaojie's past, such as Qi Yan, Liang Meiqin, Yu Mo, Cai Jing, etc. Most people saw his glory today.
Although he can't even make it to the rich list, people who know him don't think so.
Du Shaojie also drank a lot today. No matter who clinked glasses with him, he would drink it in one gulp. Even though he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, he was a little dizzy in the end.
"Bang! Bang!"
Outside the window, fireworks were lit, and the sky was full of fireworks, making everyone even crazier.
When the clock struck midnight, everyone came to the street and indulged their passion like ordinary people.
Maybe everyone's wishes are different, but the yearning for a better life is exactly the same.
After having fun, everyone returned to the banquet hall to continue drinking. It's just that when the passion faded, these people returned to their former calmness. (End of this chapter)
