Liang Qiurun, "..."
Liang Qiurun fell into a strange silence.
"What? You're not convinced, are you?" Liang's mother sneered, "If your lover doesn't accompany you, then you should be prepared. Other men will accompany your lover."
"If you don't even have this much awareness, how can you be a factory manager?"
this--
Liang Qiurun tightened his jawline and spoke in a low voice, "Mother, tomorrow the directors of three factories are going to Tianjin to discuss business."
"If this business succeeds, our meat processing plant will have extra pork by the end of the year. Not only will the workers at the meat processing plant be able to keep their jobs, but ordinary people throughout the capital will also be able to get extra pork at the end of the year."
"What does that have to do with me?"
At this moment, Liang's mother was extremely cold, not at all like the kind and funny mother-in-law in front of Jiang Meishu.
But it is an unprecedented clarity.
"Qiu Run, all this work you do is just for a paycheck, but that paycheck requires you to sell all your time, even your family and your future."
"You have to understand that you are not just one person. You also have a lover in your future. Have you ever thought about how he or she feels?"
"From the moment you agreed to marry her, Liang Qiurun, you should be responsible for her."
"Otherwise, you shouldn't agree to marry him."
This silenced Liang Qiurun for a moment. After a long pause, he said, "I did discuss this with Comrade Jiang."
He is too busy with work to take care of the children.
So he hoped Comrade Jiang could help.
He used to hand over all his wages in exchange.
Liang's mother was a little disappointed. "But Qiurun, people can't decide everything just by discussing it. What you did was unfair to Xiaojiang from the beginning."
"Since you can't fulfill your responsibilities in marriage, then you shouldn't get married. Do you understand?"
She seemed tired of saying it and tired of waiting.
She and her youngest son had quarreled countless times about marriage and family.
Her youngest son is capable and intelligent, and is devoted to his work, but the child is not smart and has no heart.
He always puts work above family and love.
Even including Liang Rui.
"Liang Qiurun, think about it carefully, are you really doing the right thing?"
"You want to get married so that someone can discipline Liang Rui for you, but is this really fair to Liang Rui? His father entrusted Liang Rui to you back then. Have you really fulfilled your fatherly responsibilities?"
"You were busy with work and neglected Liang Rui, which is why he developed his current personality. Even your original intention of getting married was for Liang Rui, hoping that someone would take over your position and discipline Liang Rui. But, Liang Qiurun, is there such a good thing in the world?"
"Do you think I don't know that Liang Rui opposed you getting married? Do you think I don't know that Liang Rui was instigated to burn down the factory on your wedding day? No, I know everything."
"Liang Qiurun, you're too conceited. You were born a child of destiny. If there was only one setback over the years, it was the years you served in the army. That taught you to respect life, but that alone isn't enough."
"In addition to work and career, there are many beautiful things in life, such as marriage, husband and wife, and children."
"Liang Qiurun, when you walk, don't walk too fast. You should also stop and stand still appropriately to look at the scenery around you. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will regret it."
"You'll definitely regret this."
Just like Liang Rui now, he has a bad temper.
Just like Xiao Jiang now, she hasn’t married yet, but Liang’s mother can already see her future.
If Liang Qiurun continued to do what he does now, he would still maintain his original enthusiasm for work and would not be at home for long periods of time.
In such a situation, Xiao Jiang will be the second Liang Rui.
The relationship between husband and wife is essentially the same as that between family members.
They all need to operate.
However, her son is the only one who is smart, conceited and capable, but he does not have the ability to manage parent-child relationships and husband-wife relationships.
This is her son's biggest shortcoming.
Mother's words echoed in Liang Qiurun's ears over and over again, you will regret it.
You will definitely regret it.
Will you regret it?
Liang Qiurun didn't know. He only knew that when he woke up in the middle of the night, he thought of the rebellious Liang Rui, and he felt more powerless.
Liang Qiurun had a vague answer in his mind.
But he was unwilling to go deep into the sound.
Liang Qiurun has his own rules and methods.
He pursed his lips tightly and said, "Mother, if I hadn't worked so hard, where would Liang Rui and I have this big house now?"
"Also, Liang Rui has the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. Where does all this come from?"
"When Liang Rui was sick, I could take him to the best hospital and find the best doctors."
"Even more, with the engagement, betrothal gifts, house, and salary that Comrade Jiang and I will pay after marriage, I can guarantee that she will never have to work and will have no worries about food and clothing."
"Mother, this isn't caused by the wind."
When Liang's mother heard her son say this, she knew that he didn't listen to her words. "Liang Qiurun, everything should be done in moderation and within your ability."
"What's past is past."
"For these material possessions, you sacrificed your relationship with Liang Rui. For these material possessions, you sacrificed your relationship with Xiao Jiang. I even think you still plan to do this after marriage."
"Liang Qiurui, I can tell you very clearly, if you don't change, Xiao Jiang will be the second Liang Rui."
"I can see the end of your marriage at a glance. It's unfortunate. Not only is Xiao Jiang unfortunate, but Liang Rui is also unfortunate. And the instigator of this misfortune is you, Liang Qiurun."
Liang's mother put the movie tickets on the table and clapped her hands. "It's up to you whether you go or not. The choice is yours."
"But if you really want to take your marriage to this point, then I might tell Xiao Jiang in advance. If Xiao Jiang still wants to marry you, then after marriage, don't blame me for taking advantage of your business trip to introduce other men to Xiao Jiang."
"Anyway, I'm a very open-minded person. I can recognize Liang Rui, a grandson who is not related by blood, and I can also recognize other grandchildren."
"As long as he's Xiao Jiang's son and his last name is Liang, that's enough."
"As for you, it's up to you!"
Liang's mother slammed the table and turned away.
I really don't even bother to look at him.
People say she gave birth to a father, and he is truly a living father.
Liang Qiurun looked at the two movie tickets on the table and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
"dad."
Liang Rui appeared from behind the door. It was cold, so he wore a pair of blue plaid pajamas, which were very thin and made him look even taller and thinner like a bamboo joint.
Hearing the sound, Liang Qiurun looked up, sweeping away the annoyance in his heart. His voice softened a bit, "I woke you up."
Liang Rui nodded and walked to Liang Qiurun's side.
"Actually." Liang Rui hesitated for a moment before speaking, "What grandma said makes sense."
"If, I mean if, after you and Jiang Meilan get married, you still stay away from home all year round, that would be quite cruel to Jiang Meilan."
He had been used to being alone since he was four or five years old.
The house was empty, with no one in it. The thing he looked forward to most every day was his father getting home from work.
But it was hard for my father to wait.
He got out of school at five o'clock and waited until eleven o'clock, but he fell asleep and his father still hadn't come back.
It was as if he was the only one in the house, and later on, he didn't like to go home anymore.
Liang Rui felt that life outside was better than home. He had endless pocket money and endless tickets. As long as he had something in his pocket, his friends would compliment him.
This is something Liang Rui has never told Liang Qiurun about.
He opened his mouth, his throat a little hoarse, "When I was on a business trip and Mei came back, didn't I ask you to go to grandma's house, or ask Wang Ma to stay with you?"
Liang Rui shrugged indifferently, "I don't like them."
He doesn't like grandma's house.
I don’t like Wang Ma either.
Liang Qiurun pursed his lips tightly, his voice hoarse, "Liang Rui, I'm sorry."
Liang Rui waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's all in the past."
"I'm all grown up now, and I don't need you to accompany me anymore."
"However, Dad, although Jiang Meilan and I don't get along, I think what grandma said makes sense. Since you married Jiang Meilan, you should be responsible for her."
After a pause, he added, "Just giving money is not enough."
When he was young, he had a lot of money and tickets, which was really great. While others were starving, he could eat endless white steamed buns and pork belly.
It's really enviable.
But after the envy, I feel really empty.
It is hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of the rebellious Liang Rui.
Liang Qiurun raised his hand, wanting to touch the fifteen-year-old Liang Rui. He stretched out his hand halfway and was about to retract it, but met Liang Rui's expectant gaze.
He put his hand back and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Rui, you have suffered so much over the years."
As soon as these words fell.
Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, his nose felt a little sour, he turned his head to the side and said stubbornly, "No."
“I am much happier than others.”
They are all children of martyrs.
After their fathers died, some children were sent back to their hometowns. Liang Rui had heard about the fate of these children.
Having lost their parents but still receiving pensions, these children become the blood bags of the whole family when they return to their hometown.
Do the most work, eat the least, and still have to please others.
He had never experienced any of these, and what's more, Liang Rui had only eaten, worn, and used the best things since he was a child.
But at the same time, he received the least companionship.
He also knew that he couldn't and shouldn't resent his father, but if it happened again, he would rather accept the fact that he ate less and still hoped for his father's company.
Liang Qiurun stared at him. It was the first time he had so much time to look at someone.
Look at this little kid who used to just cry and is now as tall as his shoulder.
"I see."
"Xiao Rui."
Liang Rui was in a better mood. He touched his nose and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose a little. "Then I'll go to rest."
"You should rest early too."
Liang Qiurun nodded, and after watching Liang Rui go to his room, he sat alone in the side hall for a long time.
at last.
He picked up the two movie tickets.
Maybe he should make a change.
Early the next morning.
When Secretary Chen drove to the door of the Liang family on time, Liang Qiurun appeared. The first thing he said after getting in the car was, "Go buy breakfast and send it to the Jiang family."
Secretary Chen, “???”
He thought he had heard wrongly.
"What?"
Liang Qiurun looked over and repeated, "Take me to the state-owned restaurant to buy breakfast and send it to the Jiang family."
This time, Secretary Chen understood. While driving, he couldn't help but look up and secretly glance at Liang Qiurun through the rearview mirror.
But he was caught accurately by Liang Qiurun.
Secretary Chen's scalp tingled. "Boss, can I ask why you went to the Jiang family to deliver breakfast?"
Liang Qiurun said in a gentle voice, "To please my future lover."
He is learning to love someone.
It's not just about money.
There is also the investment of time.
Hearing this, Secretary Chen was suddenly startled and looked at Liang Qiurun with some surprise.
"lead."
Liang Qiurun, "Why? Do you think I've changed so much?"
Secretary Chen nodded.
Liang Qiurun turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the car window. It was almost six forty at this moment, and the sun was beginning to rise after breaking through the morning mist.
The pedestrians outside were riding their 28-inch bicycles in a hurry in the biting cold wind.
He sat in the car and looked outside. The sunlight shone through the glass window onto his face, making him look even more handsome and elegant.
"Chen Zhen, what do you think is the meaning of life?"
As soon as these words fell.
Secretary Chen was startled. He subconsciously glanced at Liang Qiurun through the rearview mirror and asked, "Leader, why do you ask that?"
Liang Qiurun's usually resolute expression was now a little confused, just like the fog outside the window, which seemed to envelope him completely.
"I used to think that working hard, shouldering my responsibilities, and making sure my family had a good life was the meaning of life."
"But now I think it's not the case."
Words of mother and son.
It broke Liang Qiurun's previous cognition.
It turns out that just working and making money is not enough.
Secretary Chen didn't have that many profound thoughts. He gripped the steering wheel and said carefully, "I'm just thinking about my wife, children and a warm bed."
"I don't have any other ideas."
Liang Qiurun murmured, "A wife, children, and a warm bed?"
This was something he had never thought of.
The car arrived at the state-owned restaurant and Secretary Chen parked the car. "Leader, I'll go down and buy it. Please sit here and wait for me."
Liang Qiurun, "No need, I'll go by myself."
"By the way, I remember that each person can only buy a limited number of items. You can come too."
"It takes up two places."
this--
Secretary Chen felt that the leader was not like a leader at all.
However, he still followed the other party's advice. It was not yet seven o'clock in the morning, and two large chopping boards were placed in front of the state-owned restaurant.
Next to it is a tall steamer with seven or eight drawers, but not many people buy it.
Among the passers-by coming and going, even fewer are willing to stop and buy.
A meat bun costs 20 cents, and two buns cost 40 cents. If that were the only price, everyone would grit their teeth and buy it.
But the meat buns were made of Fuqiang flour, which is a fine grain. Two meat buns required half a pound of grain coupons. With that money and coupons, if you exchange them for coarse grains, it would be enough for a family to eat for a day.
Who would be willing to do this?
Only those who wear blue work clothes would be so extravagant as to buy one.
Liang Qiurun and Secretary Chen arrived at this time.
"Comrade, how many meat buns can one person buy?"
The chef at the state-owned restaurant glanced at him and said, "Boss, each person can only buy three at most."
Of course, if there are too many, ordinary people will not be willing to give them away.
Liang Qiurun, "Then I want three."
He went to see Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen, "I want three too."
"Okay, that's one dollar and twenty cents, plus a pound and a half of food coupons."
Liang Qiurun nodded and went to pay for the ticket.
"Do you have soy milk?"
After paying, he asked again.
"have."
"Five cents a bowl, how many bowls do you want? This is two bowls at most."
Liang Qiurun, "Then I want two bowls."
He gave an extra dime.
After buying buns and soy milk, we returned to the car.
Liang Qiurun said to Secretary Chen, "Take me to Qudeng Hutong."
Secretary Chen sighed.
It was cold, and Secretary Chen was afraid that the meat buns and soy milk would not taste good if they got cold, so he almost stepped on the accelerator to the maximum along the way.
It would normally take fifteen minutes to drive from the State-owned Hotel to Qudeng Hutong, but he arrived in just six-tenths of the time.
Rushing all the way.
"Leader, we've arrived."
"Should I do it, or will you?"
In fact, Secretary Chen was more inclined to believe that he was the one who delivered it. After all, his leader had never done this kind of work before.
His leader's hands are either signing contracts, negotiating business with people, or approving orders.
Where have you ever delivered food?
Liang Qiurun straightened his clothes and said, "I'll go."
"Wait for me here."
Secretary Chen watched Liang Qiurun leave, feeling a little worried.
Is his leadership good enough?
He had seen his leader shoot people to death.
I've seen leaders chop people with one hand.
I've seen photos of leaders walking through hail of bullets.
I have also seen a leader single-handedly save a sugar factory on the verge of bankruptcy and change the fate of thousands of laid-off workers.
As a result, he was transferred to the meat processing plant.
He has seen countless types of leaders, some who work tirelessly, some who are powerful and some who are gentle and elegant.
The only thing I haven’t seen is a leader delivering breakfast to female comrades early in the morning.
Secretary Chen was a little restless, worried that his boss would mess up, so he got out of the car and quietly followed behind his boss.
Liang Qiurun is a very perceptive person, but the timing of his arrival is very good.
Winter, around six in the morning.
The entire alley was filled with people, forming a long line, holding chamber pots, and lining up at the door of the official toilet.
He was wearing a black coat and suit pants, and was holding a large, flowery meat bun and two bottles of soy milk.
He was receiving the gazes of the entire alley, men, women, young and old.
Fortunately, Liang Qiurun was accustomed to this kind of gaze.
He went straight to the innermost part without looking around.
"Are you Director Liang of the Meat Processing Plant?"
Liang Qiurun was blocked.
"It's me."
"Why are you here in our lantern alley?"
Liang Qiurun, "Something happened."
"Are you looking for the Jiang family?"
Aunt Li suddenly asked.
"yes."
As soon as these words fell, Aunt Li perked up. She fixed her eyes on the big meat bun in Liang Qiurun's hand, paused for a moment, swallowed her saliva, and then asked, "Are you here to see Jiang Meilan?"
Liang Qiurun nodded.
When Aunt Li saw the big meat bun in his hand, she immediately understood and called out to Jiang Meilan who was queuing behind him.
"Meilan, your Director Liang is here to bring you breakfast."
The extremely penetrating sound instantly spread throughout the alley.
Jiang Meishu originally wanted to sleep in early in the morning, but she had to urgently go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it any longer, so she ran out. She happened to be queuing up, so Wang Limei asked her to come out carrying the urine bucket.
That's not the point.
The point is that Jiang Meishu didn’t brush her teeth or wash her face. She just woke up, her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing slippers.
Then.
And just like that, Liang Qiurun found it so magnificently.
Their eyes met.
Liang Qiurun was dressed respectably, carrying a large, white, steaming meat bun.
Jiang Meishu was wearing a tattered jacket that her mother had discarded. She hadn't brushed her teeth or washed her face, and her hair was unkempt. She was even dozing off while waiting in line with a urine bucket in her hand.
Jiang Meishu, "..."
who I am?
Where am I?
She wished she hadn't heard Aunt Li's reminder.
until.
When she saw Liang Qiurun appear in front of her, Jiang Meishu's sleepiness disappeared instantly!!!
A wave of shame washed over me.
Jiang Meishu wanted to scream inwardly and bury herself in a brick, but she couldn't.
Her marriage partner was right in front of her, staring at her.
Jiang Meishu's heart hardened, she closed her eyes and pretended to be blind, "Comrade, you've got the wrong person."
"I'm not Jiang Meilan."
He pretended to be blind, raised his hands and felt around, found the exact place to turn around, and ran away with the urine bucket.
But he just ran two steps.
Someone pulled the torn coat on her arm.
With a click.
After wearing the same worn-out jacket for twenty years, it’s time to retire completely.
Liang Qiurun pinched the half sleeve, and cotton wool flew all over his face. He could hardly open his eyes. "I'm sorry."
After a pause, Liang Qiurun looked at Jiang Meishu, who looked like she wanted to die. With a hint of smile in his eyes, he handed over the big meat bun and soy milk and said, "Please pass it to Comrade Jiang Meilan. Thank you."
Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very fortunate that he did not reveal her identity.
After all, she has to save face!
"OK."
Jiang Meishu accepted the things, pretended to be blind, and stared blankly in one direction.
"Is there anything you want me to tell her?"
Liang Qiurun looked at her cross-eyed appearance and suppressed a smile, "Just say I'll treat her to breakfast."
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Then I'll ask her to take you to the bathroom."
etc?
What did she say?
