Chapter 233
Director Yang almost laughed out loud at what he said. He pushed the door open and came in, kicking Yang Xiangdong on the butt. "You idiot! I've called you so many times. Why don't you just come out and take a look?"
Yang Xiangdong was in his early twenties, at the peak of his rebelliousness. After being kicked like this, he immediately lost his temper.
He was just about to take the book off his face to show his anger, but the next moment, someone was faster than his hand and directly pulled the book off his face.
"Dongzi."
Yang Xiangdong's irritable face instantly died down when he faced Liang Rui.
It's like a raging fire encountering a heavy rain.
For a moment, Yang Xiangdong almost thought he was hallucinating. He raised his hand and pinched his arm hard, then turned to look at Director Yang, "Dad, am I dreaming?"
"My brother Rui came to see me?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
It’s a bit sad to talk about it.
Yang Xiangdong's rebelliousness in his youth was not as great as Liang Rui's, but now he has become like this, a look Liang Rui has never seen before.
"It's not a dream."
It was Liang Rui who answered him, "Dongzi, long time no see."
Liang Rui stood in the narrow bedroom of the tube-shaped building. He was so tall that he had to lower his head to speak.
After hearing this, Yang Xiangdong was in a trance for a long time. Then, his body reacted faster than his brain. He almost reflexively stepped forward and hugged Liang Rui tightly.
"Brother Rui, why did you come to see me just now?"
He was already crying a little.
"They all said that you've made it big now and won't bother with a little dog like me anymore. They told me not to be a toad wanting to eat swan meat and come back to find you."
In fact, Yang Xiangdong went to Liang Rui's school many times. Every time he failed the college entrance examination, he would go to find Liang Rui, but he never went in.
He didn't dare to see Liang Rui.
The friend he used to play with was so outstanding, so outstanding that it burned his eyes. Whenever he looked up and saw Liang Rui's school and Liang Rui's appearance, he would feel inferior.
I feel so inferior that I feel ashamed.
Mingming Rui Ge told him to study hard and find a way out, but he didn't do it.
Coupled with his father's accident, he grew up, failed the college entrance examination repeatedly, was unemployed and lived off his parents. Yang Xiangdong almost became a negative example of the tube building.
How could he have the face to see Liang Rui?
Liang Rui was hugged by Yang Xiangdong. He did not resist but just stayed there quietly, listening to Yang Xiangdong talking little by little, waiting for him to say enough and cry enough.
Liang Rui then pulled him away and said, "Dongzi, since you are not suitable for studying, then don't study."
"Come and do it with me, okay?"
Yang Xiangdong barely hesitated. He didn't even ask Liang Rui what he wanted him to do. He agreed directly, "Okay, Brother Rui, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it."
Fifteen-year-old Liang Rui ordered Yang Xiangdong to set a fire.
Yang Xiangdong went there, but he was not very smart and not very skilled. Liang Rui had clearly asked him to watch the fire and put it out in time, but he messed it up and let the fire spread.
But 21-year-old Yang Xiangdong won’t do that anymore.
He went through the most difficult years, and also went through the years without Liang Rui's protection.
Yang Xiangdong will seize every opportunity to be with Liang Rui, because he knows very well that it is difficult for him to turn his life around with his brain, but by following Brother Rui, he can turn his life around.
Seeing him agree so readily, Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, "Don't you want to consider it? Or ask me what exactly I want you to do? What if I ask you to kill someone or set fire to something?"
Yang Xiangdong said seriously, "You won't."
"And if that day really comes, Brother Rui, as long as you tell me to, I'll go."
Yang Xiangdong only recognizes Liang Rui as his elder brother in his life.
He did whatever his elder brother asked him to do.
Liang Rui looked at him for a moment, unable to say a word for a long time. He just raised his hand and patted Yang Xiangdong on the shoulder, "Good brother."
After the photo was taken, he clenched his fist and held it in front of Yang Xiangdong, who also clenched his fist and bumped it in with him.
The two people smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
"Uncle Yang, let me talk to Dongzi alone."
The implication is that Director Yang is willing to leave. The better the relationship between Liang Rui and his son, the more at ease he will be.
After all, Liang Rui is a good student at Tsinghua University. With Liang Rui around, there is no need to worry about his son Yang Xiangdong going astray in the future.
Director Yang not only left quickly, he also stood guard outside the door and drove away the neighbors who wanted to watch the fun.
"Let's go, let's go. My brother Xiangdong is here. What's there to see?"
"Director Yang, your words are a bit biased. That person looks familiar to me. Do you think he's the one from Director Liang's family?"
When Liang Rui was young, he often came to Director Yang's house, and gradually became familiar with these neighbors.
Director Yang didn't want to say it, but since the other party had asked so much, he could only say, "Yes, but please don't ask anymore. The other party is no longer someone we ordinary people can contact."
The rebellious and fighting Liang Rui was admitted to Tsinghua University, which was a shock to the entire meat processing plant staff compound.
Who could have thought of it? No one could have thought of it.
That rebellious boy was able to strive to this extent.
"Director Yang, I think good luck is coming to your family."
Yang Xiangdong has been in decline for several years, but if he were to meet Liang Rui's support, he would probably rise like a rocket.
Yang Xiangdong dispersed the crowd, "We haven't even started yet, everyone, stop talking nonsense."
inside the house.
Liang Rui looked at the unshaven Yang Xiangdong. He was trying to find what Yang Xiangdong looked like in the past, but it was difficult to find. The Yang Xiangdong in his memory had a pair of fangs, was very sunny, and smiled whenever he saw someone.
Now Yang Xiangdong's hair is a little long, covering his eyes, and his look is a little gloomy and depressed.
Liang Rui, "Dongzi, go get a haircut later."
"Okay, Rui brother, I'll listen to you."
Yang Xiangdong, who hadn't gone out for a long time, actually changed his clothes and was about to go out.
Liang Rui said as they walked, "I asked you to come here, not to follow me, but to go to Yangcheng."
At this moment, Yang Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, "Brother Rui, if I don't follow you, what am I going to Yangcheng for?"
"Business."
Liang Rui said directly, "Because of academic problems, Liang Feng and I can't go to Yangcheng for the time being, so we need your help to go to Yangcheng to run business. Please contact us from time to time when you return to the capital."
"To put it simply, you are my eyes and my legs. When I can't go out, you see the outside world for me."
As soon as he said this, Yang Xiangdong became excited. "Brother Rui, don't worry. I can definitely do this."
He had a feeling that Liang Rui had entrusted him with an important task.
"Well, it all depends on you."
Liang Rui pressed his hands on his shoulders, and for a moment, Yang Xiangdong wanted to die for him.
After Yang Xiangdong finished cutting his hair, the two of them had almost finished their conversation. "That's basically it. You stay home for the next few days and wait for my news."
As for what to do next, Liang Rui hasn't actually figured it out yet, but as someone who has been traveling between the south and the north for a long time, he knows very well how important it is to have someone he can trust by his side.
Yang Xiangdong naturally agreed. After cutting his hair into a buzz cut, he felt as if he were reborn and looked more energetic.
"Brother Rui, I'll wait for your news."
Liang Rui nodded and left the Yang family before going back. Because it was only the third day of the New Year, Liang Feng and Jiang Nanfang were both at home.
With Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun also present, more people means more solutions to discuss.
Taking advantage of the night, he found all of them and said, "I have recruited Yang Xiangdong to work for me. I want him to do some work for me and run around the markets in the north and south, but I haven't figured out what specific job I want him to do."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Meishu almost laughed out loud when she heard this. "You haven't even chosen a business yet, and you've already recruited all these people?"
Liang Rui argued confidently, "It's easy to find business. There's no business in the South that's not profitable. The key is that it's hard to find your own people, and it's even harder to find your own people you can trust."
"You say so?"
This question was specifically asked to Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun. They had also been leaders, so they naturally knew the benefits of having someone they trusted.
Jiang Meishu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Liang Qiurun asked, "What kind of business do you want him to help you with?"
"Didn't Liang Feng and I go to the Yangcheng market before, buying goods and selling them up north? But then he and I both went to school, so we really didn't have time to pursue this path. But I was envious of this way of making money, so I wanted to call Yang Xiangdong over for help. I can't trust others, so how can I trust him?"
Jiang Meishu, "Let him purchase the goods alone and then deliver them to the capital?"
"How much cargo can he bring in by himself? By train or by truck?"
Liang Rui hadn't thought about these things, but when Jiang Meishu asked, he thought on the spot, "In the early stages, he will definitely take the train to transport the goods manually, but in the later stages, if he can become familiar with the route and can drive a truck independently, I will let him run the goods independently."
"Besides that, I also plan to sell the goods shipped to the capital from a stall in the early stage, but setting up a stall is not a long-term solution. Later on, when I have a stable customer base, I want to open a store, preferably next to a department store, and tell customers that we also have goods here, no tickets are required, and they are cheap."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Meishu took a breath and said, "Liang Rui, are you going to challenge the department store?"
Liang Rui glanced at Shen Mingying, who had a gloomy look in her eyes. He wasn't afraid. "I want to challenge the department store. Second Aunt, don't look at me like that. We're all family, and we know better than anyone else what the department store's biggest weakness is. First, the prices are high, and second, the salespeople are so arrogant. They have no sense of service at all. This is completely different from what we've encountered in Guangzhou and Hong Kong."
"Second Aunt."
Liang Rui studied business, and three years of training at Tsinghua University made his mind much clearer than that of ordinary people.
"I can tell you directly that if department stores don't correct their mistakes, they will soon be defeated by the private economy."
Liang Rui just finished learning about market economy, private economy, and planned economy last semester.
He is one of the few who can put the knowledge he has learned into practice.
When Shen Mingying heard this, she paused, "No way?"
"After all, the department store is a state-owned enterprise, and our sales alone account for a quarter of the entire capital."
What a concept! It can be said that the sales of more than ten supply and marketing cooperatives combined are not as much as that of a department store.
So far, the department store is the best unit.
"I studied Western economics and also looked at China's historical economic development."
Liang Rui's voice was calm, and at that moment, his thin face was filled with professionalism and seriousness. "Everything that rises must fall. This is the law of nature. The department store's heyday has created arrogance and conceit in every salesperson there. Second Aunt, do you think this is a good idea?"
Shen Mingying didn't say anything.
Liang Rui continued, "Besides that, the reform and opening up in 1977 and 1988, which liberalized the planned economy and shifted to a market economy and private enterprises, was already a signal."
"Second Aunt, if I were you, taking advantage of the current market economy before it fully takes off and grabbing a piece of the pie, I would also want to get away from the department store, this rotten ship."
"This is the best policy."
The boy who was once rebellious and only knew how to fight, now found that every analysis he made was in conflict with the future.
Jiang Meishu felt a little emotional. Liang Rui had grown to the point where she had to look up to him.
She came from the future, so she knew where the future was headed, while Liang Rui was born and raised in this era, but he could see the future of the era.
At some point, Liang Rui and Liang Qiurun overlapped.
Both father and son have amazing forward-thinking vision.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has a far-sighted vision.
As Liang Rui finished speaking, the scene instantly became quiet.
"Are you telling the truth?" Shen Mingying swallowed. "You didn't lie to Second Aunt, Liang Rui. You can't lie to me about this kind of thing."
Because once she leaves the department store, it will be difficult for her to get back in.
"No."
Liang Rui: "During my vacation, I read through more than 30 books on economics. The cases they discussed were different, but the underlying trends were different.
"Second Aunt, if you don't leave the department store, you'll be laid off in the future."
Shen Mingying's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Meishu, because Jiang Meishu had said the same thing to her before.
But she didn't take it to heart.
Although Shen Mingying also longed to develop in the south, as an employee of a department store, she was still proud and she knew the characteristics of the department store.
She was proud of her good job in the department store, so she couldn't make up her mind.
Now, Liang Rui sounded the final wake-up call for her.
"Did Xiao Jiang tell you about this?"
Shen Mingying suddenly asked.
"say what?"
Liang Rui was a little confused.
Looking at his reaction, Shen Mingying knew that it was over. At this moment, she made a complete decision in her heart.
"Xiao Jiang, after the New Year, when Mom's medical treatment is over, I'll go to Guangzhou with you guys."
Jiang Meishu asked, "What about your job at the department store?"
"I'm going to get a suspension."
At this moment, Shen Mingying was more decisive than ever before. "If I can't even make a decision on this, then I'm no better than a child."
Twenty-one-year-old Liang Rui is more decisive than her.
"It's time to make a decision."
Jiang Meishu sighed, "But, if you leave with us, what will happen to my second brother?"
Liang Lao Er has always been inseparable from his wife Shen Mingying.
"My wife has left, so I will definitely go with her. I don't want to stay alone in the capital."
Everyone present couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"My job is dispensable anyway, so I might as well apply for suspension."
This is the benefit of working in the unit. In addition, many people have been laid off within the system and the business conditions are not good, so suspension but retention seems to have become a trend in this era.
"Then let's arrange it this way."
Jiang Meishu said, "Liang Rui, think carefully about what kind of business you are in. Arrange Yang Xiangdong, but I have a suggestion for you."
"What?"
"Yang Xiangdong alone is not enough. You need to find him a partner so that he can have someone to talk to along the way. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for him to do it alone."
Liang Rui took this suggestion to heart and said, "Okay, I know who to look for."
At the beginning, he had two lackeys, the first was Yang Xiangdong and the second was Xiao Hou.
Jiang Meishu hummed, "Let's arrange everything."
"Mom, we'll have at most two more injections to do. If it goes well, it'll be done by the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If it goes slowly, it'll all be done by the end of the first lunar month. We'll all be gone by then, so you better think it through."
Shen Mingying and the others looked at each other in confusion. "What will happen to Mom if we all leave?"
Jiang Meishu waved her hand and said, "Let's take them to Guangzhou. It's like spring there all year round, which is especially suitable for the elderly to retire."
"Will Mom agree?"
This is the first thought in everyone's mind.
"Yes, I'll convince her."
Jiang Meishu still had some ability. She actually found Liang's mother and said, "Mom, I came back this time and persuaded my second brother and second sister-in-law to go to Guangzhou with us."
Liang's mother was stunned for a moment, "Do you agree to let them follow?"
You have to know that the eldest and the third brother both came to her at that time, but she did not agree, and Jiang Meishu did not agree either.
"Of course I agree."
Jiang Meishu smiled and gave her a massage. "My second sister-in-law is different from my eldest and third sisters-in-law. I brought my second sister-in-law to Yangcheng to do business. I was willing to do this, and no one forced me."
"Even if we all leave, you——"
She finished speaking in one breath, "I want you to come with me. Guangzhou is like spring all year round, which is suitable for you to retire. Secondly, there is a famous Lingnan Chinese Medicine Hospital there. I want to take you to see both Chinese and Western doctors for your illness."
"Mom, what's your opinion?"
Liang's mother was silent for a long time as she saw how Jiang Meishu was thinking about her. "Xiao Jiang, have you been tired these past few years?"
She remembered Jiang Meishu when she first got married. She loved to eat, play and sleep, and she always had someone taller to hold up the sky when it fell.
She wouldn't worry about these trivial matters.
Jiang Meishu was stunned by the sudden question. She walked around from behind Liang's mother to her front, lying on her legs, and whispered, "If you want to talk about being tired, who in this world is not tired?"
"It was just easy before. I felt relaxed then because Qiurun was carrying the burden for me. Now I walk side by side with him. It's a bit tiring, but the rewards are good."
Looking at the house and money in hand, this is the guarantee of Jiang Meishu's stability.
Mother Liang touched her face and said, "You are a good child. It is precisely because you are a good child that I cannot drag you down."
"Xiao Jiang, if you were my daughter, I might have gone with you without saying a word, but you are not my daughter-in-law. I didn't give birth to you or raise you, but I have to live with you in your old age. To be honest, I have no face."
She has four sons, but in the end she has to rely on her youngest daughter-in-law for her retirement. What is this?
This would be unfair to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu looked up and said, "Mom, filial piety doesn't depend on this, and we can't talk about fairness, because it depends on one's heart."
"Over the years since I got married, you've been good to me and my family. I'll always remember that."
Even though she and Liang Qiurun did not plan to have children, Liang's mother, as her mother-in-law, could understand.
Jiang Meishu dares to say that there is no better person in the world than her mother-in-law.
Liang's mother was still hesitant.
Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll call Uncle Lin along. He's worked hard all his life, and it's time for him to enjoy his life."
"Don't hang around the tailor shop all the time. Don't ruin your eyes."
"If you leave, he will definitely follow you."
"I just don't know if Uncle Lin agrees?"
Uncle Lin, who was guarding the door outside, raised his hand and said, "I agree."
Wherever Wanru is, there he is.
He had sworn this a long time ago.
Jiang Meishu thought Uncle Lin was so cute. She turned around and said to Liang's mother, "Look, Uncle Lin has agreed. If you don't agree, it would be a shame for Uncle Lin."
Liang's mother asked, "Is the house over there big enough for me to live in?"
"That's enough."
Jiang Meishu said, "Qiu Run is the factory director at Hongtai, so the Qiao family arranged a small white building for him. Since Qiu Run and I often go to Pengcheng, the house is empty, so you can live there. I tell you, the small white building is very beautiful, you will definitely like it if you move in."
Liang's mother went to see Liang Qiurun without saying a word.
Because she didn't want to embarrass Jiang Meishu about this matter.
Liang Qiurun knew what his mother meant. "What Jiang Jiang said is true. The Little White Building is somewhat similar to the Western-style building you lived in before you got married. It has a flush toilet, an open-air balcony, and a living room and bedroom. It's all integrated, so you don't have to go out to the bathroom in the middle of the night."
Now, Liang's mother was completely moved. "I'm old now, and I don't know if I can take the train."
Jiang Meishu said gently, "We will stay with you for three days in the sleeper berth, there will definitely be no problem."
have to.
All the worries were solved by Jiang Meishu, so it would be difficult for Liang's mother to agree even if she didn't want to.
Liang's mother had her last acupuncture treatment on the 17th day of the first lunar month. The national acupuncturist prescribed some medicine. Jiang Meishu and the others were worried that Liang's mother wouldn't be in a good condition for long-distance travel, so they specifically asked the national acupuncturist. The national acupuncturist gave an answer, "It might be good to move to a warmer place. In my experience treating patients over the years, I've found that the cold winter is the most prone to problems for the elderly."
"If the patient's condition allows, you can take her south for the winter and come back after the winter."
Jiang Meishu uttered a sigh.
"However, if you take her out, you must keep an eye on her. No one can guarantee that she won't have a relapse. If she develops Alzheimer's disease again, it will be troublesome if she gets lost."
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun were startled and took this to heart.
After leaving the hospital, Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu discussed it, "When we go to Guangzhou, in addition to Uncle Lin, we need to arrange for a female comrade to stay with Mom at all times."
This is the only way to ensure that Liang's mother will not get lost.
Jiang Meishu hummed and asked him, "Then we'll make arrangements once we get there. It would be best to bring someone you know from the capital with you, right?"
