768: Dad is really back!
Shao Xia had a look of great shock on her face. She wasn't pretending, she really felt that she was short-sighted and knew too little.
After a moment of hesitation, Shao Xia continued to ask:
"Brother Lei, after all this talk, what is this Ban Ye's extraordinary relationship?"
Seeing Shao Xia's lack of understanding, Brother Lei whispered in Shao Xia's ear:
"I just made some inquiries. The husband of the younger sister of the daughter-in-law of this Mr. Ban is from the Public Security Bureau. In other words, Mr. Ban's son and the Public Security Bureau are brothers-in-law. With this relationship, of course he can get a good job.
This is just the relationship I found out. There are many more that I don’t know. It is said that they have a very good relationship with the Ministry of Supply and Marketing. They can falsify their origins and are not afraid of investigation.
To put it bluntly, these people rely on nepotism, but what I'm telling you is just for your own good, don't spread it around, I'm telling you this because I don't treat you as an outsider."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother Lei----"
Without waiting for Shao Xia to think about it, Brother Lei returned to the topic:
"So, does your friend still have any stock? If so, give me some. Don't worry, as long as you broker this deal, Brother Lei will definitely benefit from it!"
Shao Xia came to her senses and was not attracted by the benefits promised by Brother Lei. She shook her head and said:
"Brother Lei, my friend has really left the capital and is no longer here. I'll contact him later, okay?"
"Well, all right then."
"Um, Brother Lei, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. See you later."
"Okay, see you later. Don't forget what I told you."
"Yeah, I can't forget it!"
Shao Xia agreed readily and walked away quickly.
When they got to the road, he pulled Yu Xiaoye into the crowd.
After walking a distance and getting away from Brother Lei, Shao Xia told Yu Xiaoye the inside story she had heard from Brother Lei.
Yu Xiaoye was not surprised to hear this. She had already guessed that this boss had a complicated network of relationships, and she was right.
It seems that the capital is a complicated place, with many more tricks than their Great Northern Wilderness.
I thought of Zhou Ziheng again, and was glad that Zhou Ziheng's work should not involve these conflicts of interest. Otherwise, given Zhou Ziheng's disregard for money and his upright character, he would definitely block the financial path of many people.
It’s better to stay away from such deep water as much as possible, otherwise it would not be fun if you accidentally fall in.
Yu Xiaoye made up her mind that she would never ship goods to this boss again. She didn't want to have anything to do with this group of people. With her small fry, she was no match for them. It was better to stay away from them.
Through today's incident, Yu Xiaoye's horizons were broadened and he saw the methods used by high-end players.
The two expressed their feelings along the way and arrived at the primary school staff quarters.
Shao Xia, holding new cotton and new cotton cloth, quickened her pace and hurried towards her bungalow.
She looked up towards the door of her house and suddenly found a man standing there, bending over and stacking honeycomb coal.
Shao Xia thought that her mother had bought some honeycomb coal and asked someone to help bring it over. She was wondering why her mother hadn't mentioned buying coal when she left in the morning, and she had bought the coal in just half a day?
And buy so much at one time?
I felt curious, but when I looked closely at the man's back, I felt that he looked familiar.
When the man stood up, Shao Xia saw his entire back clearly. Her head buzzed, her arms loosened, and the cotton in her arms rolled to the ground.
dad?
Why does this person's back look so much like my father whom I haven't seen for six years?
Although I haven't seen my father for six years and my impression of him has become vague, the sense of familiarity hidden in my memory was inexplicably triggered, and the first person I thought of was my father.
Is it really dad?
At this moment, the man seemed to be aware of the eager gazes behind him, and slowly turned around, revealing his weathered face.
They hadn't seen each other for more than six years, almost seven years, and Shao Xia almost couldn't recognize the person in front of her.
She vaguely remembered that when her father left home, he was still young and tall with black hair. Although she knew that her father might have grown old after so many years, Shao Xia was still shocked to see how old he looked and could not recognize him.
The man in front of her not only looked older, but also seemed to have shrunk. He was completely different from the tall father in her memory.
In less than seven years, could a person become so old?
Why is time so cruel?
Shao Xia's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and the word "Dad" was stuck in her throat.
Shao's father, Shao Kaimin, also narrowed his eyes and stared at Shao Xia for a long time, comparing her with the fourteen-year-old daughter in his memory.
As Shao Kaimin watched the skinny girl grow into the graceful young lady she is today, he also sighed in his heart at the power of time.
But the father and daughter had completely different moods.
The daughter is heartbroken that time has made her father grow old, while the father is happy that time has made his daughter grow up.
So, when he saw the changes in his daughter, Shao Kaiming smiled and called out her nickname:
"Yunyun?"
"dad--"
At this time, her younger sister Shao Juan came out of the house and shouted to her excitedly:
"Second sister, Daddy is back! Look, Daddy is back!"
Shao Xia wiped her tears and walked towards her father with tearful eyes. She wanted to ask why her father came back, but her throat was choked and she couldn't speak. She would cry as soon as she opened her mouth, so she simply didn't say anything.
Shao Kaimin, on the other hand, looked at his daughter with gentle eyes, took off the dirty glove he had used to carry coal on his right hand, and touched his daughter's hat with his calloused hand, as if gauging her height, and said with emotion:
"You two sisters have grown up. When I left, you were only as tall as your father's neck, but now you are almost as tall as me." Their words were filled with the pride and honor of being a parent.
Shao Xia heard that her father's voice had aged, and her tears became even more intense. She cried and asked:
"Dad, you're back, why don't you write us a letter in advance?"
Shao Kai
Min seemed to be at a loss for words and smiled slightly.
"It's a surprise for you guys."
Shao Xia nodded vigorously. Yes, it was a surprise. This was indeed a huge surprise for her.
From childhood to adulthood, this is the biggest surprise I have ever had!
Shao Xia was suddenly surrounded by a huge sense of happiness. She felt dizzy and light-headed.
This was even more fantastic than the 980 yuan she had earned.
The father I haven’t seen for nearly seven years is really back!
Shao Xia turned around and shouted at Yu Xiaoye:
"Xiao Ye, did you see that? My dad is back. My dad is really back!"
Yu Xiaoye came over with a big bag of cotton in his arms, smiling and saying hello:
"Hello Uncle Shao, I'm Shao Xia's friend, my name is Yu Xiaoye."
Shao Xia took Yu Xiaoye's arm and introduced him to her father:
"Dad, this is my best friend in the Great Northern Wilderness!"
When Shao Kaimin heard that it was Yu Xiaoye, he looked at her carefully, and his smile deepened:
"Really? So you are Xiao Ye. Yunyun often mentioned you in her letters. The box of snacks she sent to me from the capital last time was also sent by you, right?"
Yu Xiaoye almost forgot about the box of snacks and said with a smile:
"Uncle Shao, do you still remember this?"
"I remember. How could I not remember? I was so happy to receive snacks from the capital from such a faraway place. The memory is so profound and I'll never forget it. It's cold outside. Don't stand there. Come inside. It's warm inside."
