love across mountains and seas

The period before the annual vacation is the day for Chongshi to go out for team building over the years.This year's two-day, one-night trip to the ancient town really made many people look forward to it.

"Chu Ran take it for me, I'm going to lie down in the bathroom."

Putting the small backpack in his arms into Chu Ran's hands, Lu Yang ran away in a flash.This team building is divided into three groups. The first batch will come back and the second batch will go. Lu Yang, as a newcomer in the design department, could not keep up with this batch. In the end, he did not know who operated what. The entire design department There is no need to stay on duty, and everyone follows the first batch.Chu Ran's establishment is affiliated to the Administrative Office, and she has the youngest and youngest qualifications among the group of general secretaries and assistants, so it is inevitable that she will help run errands before and after running.After arranging the luggage of everyone in the administrative office neatly, Lu Yang came back slowly, took the bag in Chu Ran's hand and fiddled with it for a while, then ran to the bus with her.

As soon as he got in the car, he saw Yan Zhiwei waving at him. Chu Ran turned his head to wink at Lu Yang, and walked to the back row of Yan Zhiwei to sit down with great interest.

"Miss Zhiwei, when will Mr. Tong come?"

Tong Yuyi, as a representative of the leadership, also participated in this team building.It's just that she didn't go with the big team, but drove over later by herself.

"Little Tong always has some things to deal with, and it will probably be here in the evening."

"Oh, that's it." Glancing at Lu Yang who was taking out something from the small bag, Chu Ran reached out and snatched a bag of prunes, ignored the owner's eyes, peeled off the paper and stuffed it into his mouth and said vaguely: " Hey, Mr. Tong has been very busy recently."

Yan Zhi smiled, and took the prunes Lu Yang handed over.She is a little dizzy on this kind of bumpy long-distance bus, so she always takes some motion sickness medicine and some sour food beforehand, and this brand of candied nuts is her favorite.

"It's the end of the year, and there are always more things." He frowned slightly as he spoke, as if feeling empathy.

Chu Ran also noticed her small movements, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Tong, is she alright?"

Tongjia.

"Xiao Yi, our family is going to Maldives for vacation this Chinese New Year. My mother said that she wants to meet you. How about you go with me?"

In the lobby on the first floor, Tong Yuyi was sitting on the sofa watching Tong Xining playing video games, while Jiang Han on the other side was chattering non-stop.

"I have other things to do this year. I can't get away from my family in the company. I don't have much time to go on vacation."

After hearing Tong Yuyi's answer, Jiang Han's face was a little embarrassing, but he quickly returned to his smiling face, "I know you are busy with work, no matter how busy you are, you have to rest, or someday when you are not busy, I will Let's take you home for dinner, my mother and grandma miss you very much."

Tong Yuyi frowned lightly, but said nothing after all.

In the study on the second floor, Jiang Kuo got up and brought the brewed tea to Tong Boyuan.

"Uncle Tong has a lot of experience, and his resourcefulness is not something us juniors can compare to."

Tong Boyuan took the tea but didn't drink it, his eyes flashed a gloomy coldness, but his face showed his usual expression, "You juniors are the ones who come out of the blue, and I want you to push me away."

"Hehe," a hoarse laugh came from his throat, and he put down the empty teacup, Jiang Kuo picked up the cigar on the table and turned it slowly on the fire, "Uncle Tong, we have cooperated for so long, the benefits are of course We need to share together. After all,” he took a puff of the lit cigar, and slowly spit out a circle under his eyes, “after Xiaoyi married my second brother, we are a family. Naturally, I have to think of good things first. My family, so Uncle Tong will remind me a lot in the future."

Picking up the teacup in his hand, touching the still warm tea with his lips, Tong Boyuan's cheeks moved, and he smiled, "Let's go, let's see what the children are doing."

Tong Yuyi disliked such naked family dinners very much, and she disliked Jiang Kuo even more than Jiang Han.Jiang Han is not considered smart, although he has some bad habits of dudes, but the essence is not bad.But his elder brother Jiang Kuo is different. Every time he sees Tong Yuyi, he will unconsciously feel a sense of rejection, especially when communicating with him face to face, there is always a sense of danger of being targeted.Jiang Kuo gave her a feeling of hunting on the hunting ground, as if if she didn't cheer up, she would change from a hunter to a prey in the next second and be eaten by the hyena in front of her.

Hyena, this is Tong Yuyi's definition of Jiang Kuo in his heart, although he can be said to be as strong as a cow in terms of appearance alone.

"Dad, there is an event in the company today that requires me to be present, so I have to leave first."

After afternoon tea, Tong Yuyi was about to leave first.Tong Boyuan knew that today was the day of team building, so he didn't have to go, but Tong Yuyi was going to show his face.

"Well, let's go."

The father and daughter didn't say much, Tong Yuyi got up, greeted Jiang Kuo and his brothers, and was about to leave, but when she just stood up, two people blocked her way at the same time.

Jiang Han: "Xiaoyi, let me take you there."

Tong Xining: "Sister, take me there."

Outside Tong's villa, the driver Xiao Zhao drove the business car early and waited for Mr. Tong to finish his work so that he could send her to the ancient town.He adjusted his new hairstyle from the car mirror. As the only driver in the administrative office, Xiao Zhao was happiest to see the new assistant of Vice President Sun.

Facing the mirror, he snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and when he turned his head, he saw his boss approaching aggressively, followed by two people on the left and right.He hurriedly jumped out of the car and opened the door for the boss, only to realize that the little girl on the left was the second young lady of the Tong family, and the one on the right was very familiar to him. Isn't this the second young master of the Jiang family?Xiao Zhao still has some disdain for Jiang Ershao in his heart. As Tong Yuyi's full-time driver who followed her on the first day he entered Chongshi, he still knows more or less what Jiang Ershao is like, and he can also see that the boss treats him badly. See.But these are things he can't control as a driver, so no matter what he thinks in his heart, he still has to be respectful on the face.

"Hello, Mr. Tong, Mr. Second, Mrs. Jiang."

Both Tong Yuyi and Tong Xining nodded at him, while Jiang Han glanced at him, and said to Tong Yuyi with some reluctance: "Xiaoyi, do you really not need me to see you off? I am a little worried that you two sisters are going so far away."

Tong Xining, who had endured the noise for a whole day, finally couldn't take it anymore, rolled his eyes and got into the car directly, "Sister, let's go, don't mess with him there."

Jiang Han was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He had long felt that the second young lady of the Tong family was a bit spoiled. No matter how big or small, he never told his brother not to say anything, and what he said at a young age was always embarrassing.

"Xiao Zhao has been a soldier. He has zero accidents while driving, and he can't get close to several grown-ups in kickboxing. There is nothing unsafe."

Glancing at the upright and handsome Xiao Zhao standing beside him, Jiang Han felt a little upset. Why did one or two people around Tong Yuyi make him so uncomfortable? Also, you don't need to find someone who looks like this to find a driver, right?

"Then don't forget to go to my house for dinner when you have time. My mother and grandma really miss you."

Tong Yuyi lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "See you another day."

"Okay! I'll pick you up another day."

The car finally drove out of Tong's villa area, and Tong Xining moved to the middle and bumped into Tong Yuyi.

"Sister, it's just such a person, have you really thought it through?"

Tong Yuyi glanced at his younger sister, "Why did you only score 91 in Chinese in the final exam?"

Curling her lips, Tong Xining stretched her waist, "Oh sister, you have passed with a score of 91, okay? Besides, education should be encouraged. You have to say: Xiao Ning is awesome, she got 140 in math."

"I went to the parent meeting, and the teacher said that there was only one student in the whole grade who failed Chinese, and the second one was you. The foreign children in the next class all scored higher than you."

Seeing the expressionless face of the old lady in front of her, Tong Xining sat up a little bit, "Reading comprehension is too stupid, people just say a word, you have to think of loving life and noble ideals, what's the matter, I don't like writing, I didn't do anything." At the end, his voice gradually dropped.

Tong Yuyi sighed softly when she heard the words. Her younger sister was still young when her mother had an accident. During that time, both she and Tong's family were in chaos. She and her father were a little negligent in educating Tong Xining and take care of.Now she wants to make up for it gradually, but it is so easy to discipline children who are in adolescence.

"Xiao Ning, if you don't know how to do the questions, we can ask the teacher or a tutor to teach you at home, but if you don't do well in the exam simply because you don't like it, then it's a matter of attitude. If you don't have the ability, we can take it slowly. Cultivate, but don’t have a bad attitude.”

"Sister," Tong Xining leaned on the back of the chair with an expression of indifference that did not match his age. "I don't have a bad attitude, I just think those topics are very strange. Why do flowers bloom because they feel the beautiful call of happiness? Creatures in the natural world live and die according to the laws of nature, and go round and round. Metaphors symbolize these are strange, born Does a symbol necessarily mean a good beginning? Just like the birth of a newborn must be the birth of hope? Maybe he is not expected by his parents, maybe he will be an extremist who endangers society in the future, and he has no right to choose his own birth. Is it right to define him as hope, endow him with beauty, and place future responsibilities on him?"

It was the first time Tong Yuyi heard Tong Xining say this, and the words she wanted to refute were pressed against her throat. She was shocked by the meaning of her sister's words, but at the same time worried.Getting closer to Tong Xining, Tong Yuyi took her hand.

"Xiao Ning has grown up and has her own views and opinions on things. I know that everyone has their own different worldviews and values, but Ning Ning, people still have hope, expectations, and hope for beauty in life. Yearning, you will love life and love the world, and you will be happy because of this love and expectation, won’t you?”

Tong Xining didn't answer for a long time, bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head to look into Tong Yuyi's eyes.

"Sister, Dad didn't let you dance and gave you a financial report. So many years have passed, what is your real expectation and love now?"
