Tianxiong and Zhibing

Near the end of the year, Wang Tianxiong's uncle passed away suddenly, which caught people by surprise. It is not uncommon for an elderly man in his 70s to pass away. However, Wang Tianxiong's uncle was usually in good health. Disrupting the pace of life of relatives and friends, he had to hold a funeral for him with a complicated and regretful mood.

Speaking of Wang Tianxiong's uncle, when he was young, he participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and after he recovered, he has been serving as a village cadre in the countryside. Later, when he was older, he went to the city with his son to enjoy leisure.In Wang Tianxiong's mother's family, there are three brothers and sisters in total, and there is only this elder brother at the top, so the relatives usually have a very good relationship.There are two cousins ​​in my uncle's family. The eldest cousin is farming in the countryside. Now he has contracted a barren hill and has become a famous local fruit tree king. The other cousin works in the city and is currently a professor in a university. The family walks relatively close.This time when I went home for the funeral, I met many long-lost relatives by the way. Everyone heard that Wang Tianxiong was still single and had a child with him. They all expressed a lot of enthusiasm, wanted to introduce someone, and arranged for a blind date, so Wang Tianxiong didn’t know what to do. answer.

After attending my uncle’s funeral, I stayed at home for a few days. In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Day, and the company also has a three-day holiday. Wang Tianxiong plans to use this time to cultivate a relationship with his daughter, because he lives in Shenzhen all year round and doesn’t spend much time with his children. , feels a little strange.Wang Tianxiong tried his best to show a kind side in front of his daughter, after all, the child will not accept your wishes all at once.However, two days later, the daughter began to pester him, often asking Wang Tianxiong to hug her, or to buy something. Looking at his five-year-old daughter, Wang Tianxiong was a little worried. According to his original plan, when his daughter was six years old When I was young, I took her to live with her in Shenzhen, but I don't know if Luo Zhibing will accept such an arrangement. After all, a child suddenly came to the family, and both parties need some adaptation stage.In May, the newly purchased house will be handed over, and by then I will finally have my own home in Shenzhen, and I will be able to bring my parents to live here for a while when winter comes.Anyway, for a middle-aged married man with children, there are more than a lot of difficulties in front of him, each of which is a headache.

Jin Qiang didn't know where he heard that Wang Tianxiong was coming to visit relatives, so he drove from the local county and city to meet him.Since he was promoted to director, the opportunities to travel abroad have been increasing, and people have become more active, which is beyond Wang Tianxiong's expectation.When Jin Qiang stood in front of him glamorously, Wang Tianxiong felt a sense of strangeness. In just a few years, the old classmate in front of him had lost the simplicity of the past, and became similar to an ordinary official, with a fat stomach and a slippery brain.Why does the more power a person possesses, the more his appearance and temperament change?

"You're back, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jin Qiang complained.

"I've only been back for a few days, and my uncle passed away, so I came here specially for the funeral."

"Oh! That's right, how is the situation at home now?"

"Fortunately, it's just a little sudden. My uncle has always been in good health. This myocardial infarction is beyond everyone's expectation. It took only two days before he died. It was too fast."

"That's good, there wasn't too much pain. When my mother passed away the year before last, she had a gastric cancer resection. Not to mention the cost, the patient was in great pain, and in the end she couldn't be saved. Man's fate is destined by God, and many things can't be controlled. For us, it is more important to have fun in time."

"You think quite openly, and I should think so too."

"Yeah, I'm not going back tonight. I have a room in Taifeng Hotel. Come and chat with me? We haven't had a drink together for a long time."

"Okay, last time you went to Shenzhen, I didn't treat you well, I'm sorry, I must have a drink with you today."

The two happily came to Taifeng Hotel, asked for a private room in the restaurant on the second floor, and opened a bottle of 52-degree Yanghe blue classic.The process of drinking is very simple, while talking about their own troubles, while reminiscing about the beautiful past.After Jin Qiang became the chief of the department, he also faced the pressure of promotion. He was already in his 40s. If he didn’t work hard, he would have no chance. to the sky.In particular, the higher the position, the stronger the competitors.Fortunately, Jin Qiang once had an old leader who is currently serving as the deputy mayor of Nanchang City. He wants to obtain the benefits he wants through this relationship. This time he came to Nanchang, on the one hand to meet Wang Tianxiong, and on the other hand to visit Let's talk about the old leader, and make connections by the way.Hearing Jin Qiang's complaints, Wang Tianxiong felt very lucky that he didn't embark on an official career and didn't have to deal with those complicated people.Needless to say, people in government agencies are sinister. If you make a wrong step, you will lose everything. It is really a hard job.However, officials don't have to worry about money, and there are more ways to get money.

"I don't think you should work hard in Shenzhen. You might as well quit your job and come to work in our county. If you can contract any engineering project for you, you will get rich. You don't have to work so hard like now." Jin Qiang said to Wang Tianxiong sincerely , eyes full of anticipation, hoping to get an affirmative answer.

"Forget it, I appreciate your kindness. I'm a stupid person. I'm not very good at dealing with the world, and I don't know how to intrigue. People often say that 'the officialdom is dangerous'. Now I can do my job with peace of mind. I’m already very satisfied. In terms of material things, I don’t have much desire, and the current salary is more than enough, so there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"You are just too honest. You have been so honest since you were in middle school. Now you are in your 40s, and you are still the same, dead-headed."

"Yeah, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. I'm afraid this will be the case in my life. I don't like to worry about it."

"If you are satisfied with your current life, then forget it, and I won't advise you, as long as you live your own life well. It's just that I have some power in my hands now, and I can seek some benefits for people close to me. You don't know, A few days ago, our class monitor in middle school was that Jiang Lijun who came to our unit and begged me to contract him a project. To be honest, if it was you, I would have agreed a long time ago, but for him, I have to weigh Think about it, when he was in school, he was better at making money, and he was not very reliable."

"Then you promised him later?"

"Not yet. I said I'll answer him when I get back from Nanchang. After all, this trip to Nanchang is related to my personal future. If it can be done, it will indeed cost a lot of money. Let's see how Jiang Lijun is. .”

"Humans are meant to take advantage of each other. Since we are classmates, we all know the basics from childhood to adulthood. If you can do it with little effort, don't make things difficult for others."

"I have a sense of proportion, but when this kid was in school, he once reported me to the teacher, causing me to be punished by the teacher to stand on the playground. Later, I caught a cold and got pneumonia. When I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"This is the old calendar from so many years ago, why do you still remember it so clearly?"

"There are some things that you can't just forget."

Unexpectedly, Jin Qiang could still remember the past more than 20 years ago. After so many years, what grievances and grievances cannot be forgotten?Besides, we are middle school classmates, friends who grew up together.Wang Tianxiong finished drinking the glass of wine in his hand, looked up at Jin Qiang, and found that the man in front of him, since he was promoted and made a fortune, his complexion is much better than before, rosy and fair, and he has gained a lot of weight. It can be seen that he is living a good life now.

After drinking and eating, Jin Qiang proposed to go to the leisure club on the third floor of the hotel and enjoy a massage service. The foreman kept hinting to them that special services were also provided here.Jin Qiang asked loudly on purpose: "Do you want to find a woman to have a good time?" Wang Tianxiong shook his head quickly, thinking that it would be better to find a man than a woman, and he can't be hard on a woman now. .

After the massage, the whole person felt refreshed, and the two went to Jin Qiang's room to continue chatting.Jin Qiang asked the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine. After a while, the two of them drank up the whole bottle of red wine. Wang Tianxiong blushed a little and felt his heart pounding. Every time he drank red wine, he would have this reaction, especially when he had dinner just now. At that time, he had already drank half a catty of white wine first, and the two kinds of wine were mixed, and it was easiest to get drunk.Wang Tianxiong remembered that the last time he attended the class reunion with Jin Qiang, someone climbed into his bed after being drunk and touched him.Afterwards, Luo Zhibing helped analyze it, saying that it was not a dream, Jin Qiang took the opportunity to climb into his bed, but this time Wang Tianxiong didn't drink too much, his mind was clear, but he blushed a little.
