The Audi parked at the entrance of an office compound not far from the lake. In the far end were the misty mountains, and in the near distance were the lakes and streams surrounding the city. There were also many modern high-rise buildings. The whole city looked beautiful and beautiful.
Clean, good mountains and good water - this is the best way to describe this place. Just thinking about being able to work and live here is a very wonderful thing and will make you feel happy.
In the car.
Dong Xuebin sighed: "Jing'er is so good, I want to transfer him here."
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "The good thing about the south is that the scenery is nice, haha, but winter can be a bit harsh, it's wet and cold, and northerners can't adapt to it."
"That's better than the capital city."
"The north also has its advantages."
"Come on, I didn't see it. If it doesn't work, let's change."
"Haha, let's wait until you get your qualifications from the Discipline Inspection Commission first."
"The municipal party committee compound is in front of you, right? Why did you bring me to your unit? Is it appropriate for me to go in?"
"I didn't say I would let you in. You, Sister Xie, still have a lot of things to deal with, but I can't accompany you. I just took office and it's a busy time."
"What's the matter? Where can I go if I'm unfamiliar with this place?"
"You go and see the child first. He's at Aunt Wang's house. I'll go back to the municipal party committee family home in the evening."
"Okay, okay, I'm busy with you. Then give me your address and write it down in detail. I'll be blind if I get lost. I don't think the road here is the right one, and I can't tell the direction."
"They are all built along the river. It is not as clear as the capital city is divided into southeast, northwest and northwest. Okay, I have finished writing. This is Aunt Wang's house, this is the family courtyard, and my house number." Xie Huilan said.
She dropped the paper and threw it to him, touched her pocket, and took out a bunch of keys to him. "The key to the family home. Your sister Xie will get home at about seven o'clock tonight. You kid, please prepare a meal and wait for me, okay?"
"I will still serve you after confinement?"
"Who made you my little husband, haha."
"You will find nice words and say, come on, let's go, let's go."
"By the way, there's one more thing. Aunt Wang and her husband came here with me. I originally promised to buy them an apartment here, but Aunt Wang refused. I can't help it. It's my side.
I was busy, so I didn’t take care of it. They rent their own house now.”
"Sure, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
"Okay, I can rest assured that my little husband will do the work."
"The car was opened for me. You can find another one when you go home tonight."
"Well, if that doesn't work, just ask for directions. It's just nearby. It's only a ten-minute drive."
Xie Huilan took her bag and opened the car door, got out of the car and entered the compound. She could see the doorman and several department members or cadres coming out of the compound greeting her respectfully.
Dong Xuebin also got out of the car, got into the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
One minute……
three minutes……
five minutes……
Dong Xuebin had already turned around and no longer knew where he was. He didn't even know where he was at the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard just now, so he had to slow down the car. When he saw someone next to him, he stopped the car and turned off the car.
He looked out the window at an older lady on the side of the road. "Sister, please ask, do you know how to get here?" After saying that, he took out the address his wife had written for him and held it in his hand.
The eldest sister looked at him, shook her hand, and left.
Another elder brother came next to him, and Dong Xuebin asked in his exact words: "Brother, I want to ask you where I am."
The middle-aged man didn't even look at the address. He said he didn't know and walked away.
Dong Xuebin was speechless, so he had to get out of the car and inquired with a few people nearby. An old lady muttered a few words in the local dialect, which Dong Xuebin couldn't understand at all. When he finally asked the sixth person,
Only then did a young man point out the direction to Dong Xuebin.
It’s hard work!
It’s so hard to ask for directions!
Dong Xuebin was helpless. After knowing the way, he got in the car and drove there. He was actually not used to it. The scenery here was good, but the habits and atmosphere were still very different from those in the capital. Dong Xuebin was quite uncomfortable.
Adaptation, for example, if you ask for directions, if you stay in Beijing, people will definitely point it out to you in detail. It’s the same with anyone you ask, even those old men and women who were born and raised in Beijing. If they see that you don’t know the way, they will tell you the way.
The enthusiastic ones want to take you there directly, and will take the trouble to tell you how to get there. Only when you understand them can you leave with peace of mind. They seem to be more anxious than you. Even if they meet someone in a place that they don't recognize, they will tell you guiltily.
You said, "I'm sorry, I don't know you. I'm sorry if you ask others."
cultural difference.
Small circle awareness.
There is no way around this.
Dong Xuebin can feel that this place is quite exclusive. People can tell the foreign accent at a glance, so they won't particularly like to talk to you.
…
A little more.
On the right side of the river.
A residential area.
Dong Xuebin drove in, looked for the house number, and confirmed a place over there. He parked the car aside, got out of the car and went over. It was a three-story building, relatively short, and Aunt Wang's house rented it.
It's on the third floor. It's a relatively lively street. There are many stalls selling things by the river.
Go upstairs.
Dong Xuebin knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, the door opened inside.
It was Aunt Wang. She was holding Xiao Zhongzhong in her arms, and the child was crying.
"Aunt Wang." Dong Xuebin smiled.
Aunt Wang was startled, "Master Dong, are you here?"
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said: "Don't call me Young Master, it scares me to death. Just call me Xuebin."
"Well, that's okay." Aunt Wang quickly let him in, "The eldest lady didn't tell me that you were coming over. I am... there is a bit of chaos at home, you..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll come over and see the child."
"Did you just get off the plane? Have you eaten?" Aunt Wang asked.
"Eat, food on the plane." Dong Xuebin took the child from her hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but hugged his son and kissed him hard. "My dear son, do you miss your father?"
Little Dong Zhong was still crying.
Dong Xuebin held him and swayed around.
"How about I come?" Aunt Wang asked.
"I'll do it." Dong Xuebin didn't agree. He wanted to get more familiar with his son, but he couldn't always rely on Aunt Wang to coax him, otherwise he would no longer kiss his father. "How is the child?"
Aunt Wang said: "I eat a lot, and I can sleep very well."
Dong Xuebin chuckled, "That's a good thing, follow me."
After the door closed, Aunt Wang followed Dong Xuebin into the house. Because it was a downtown area, it was a bit chaotic outside, so she hadn't noticed it just now. Dong Xuebin heard it as soon as the door closed. There seemed to be someone talking in the bedroom, and there was more than one person.
, the bedroom is also a bit messy.
Dong Xuebin tilted his head and asked, "Are there any guests?"
When Aunt Wang heard this, she sighed and said, "It was my daughter who brought her boyfriend back."
"Isn't this good?" Dong Xuebin blinked and said, "You don't like that young man?"
Aunt Wang sighed: "It's not that we don't look down on him, it's that he doesn't look down on our family. My daughter has been talking to him for a year, and we don't have any objections here. It's up to the children to decide their own affairs.
Xiaoshan said to bring it back for us to see, we..."
In the living room.
There was a lot of dishes on the table, but not much was eaten and not much was moved.
Dong Xuebin said: "Did Huilan and I cause you trouble? We were staying well in the capital, and we asked you to come over and help us take care of the children..."
Aunt Wang said hurriedly: "No, it has nothing to do with this, it's... Xiaoshan may not have mentioned our family's affairs to him much. Her boyfriend didn't know that I was a nanny, so I didn't know until I came today."
, Xiaoshan’s boyfriend may feel a little...a little bad."
Dong Xuebin pondered, "Then we will cause you trouble."
"It's really not." Aunt Wang said quickly: "Mrs. Han has helped our family a lot. Mrs. Han also took care of Xiaoshan's school affairs. It can be said that if it weren't for your family's help, my wife, I, and Xiaoshan would be here now."
It's still like living in the countryside. You won't be able to come out for the rest of your life. Mr. Dong...Xue Bin, then you sit here for a while. I'll go into the house and say something. Auntie won't greet you for now."
"It's okay, you are busy with your business."
"Here you go, drink some tea first."
"OK, thanks."
Aunt Wang opened the bedroom door and went in.
Dong Xuebin sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and then teased the little baby with a smile. This little guy was not as naughty as Xiao Qianqian. Although he stopped crying after being coaxed for a long time, his eyes were still wet.
It was very quiet, without looking around. Dong Xuebin hugged him and lifted him high, and Xiao Zhongzhong didn't seem to react.
good!
Very calm, just follow me!
Dong Xuebin put gold on his face.
But here he was minding his own business playing with his children, and the sounds in the bedroom inevitably drifted into his ears, making it impossible not to hear them.
"Xiaoshan, let's forget it."
"Minghui, when you came here..."
"I don't think we are suitable for each other."
"What's inappropriate? You..."
"Then let me tell you this. My father and my mother are both intellectuals and both have urban registered permanent residence. But your family's... registered permanent residence is easy to talk about, but the other... How will I tell my parents when I go back?
? Even if I say it, they can’t agree, so there’s no need to ask.”
Aunt Wang's daughter and her daughter's boyfriend broke up together.
At this time, Aunt Wang's wife spoke up, "Xiaoshan! Look at your potential! Everyone has said so! You still keep chasing after me! Isn't it embarrassing for you?"
Aunt Wang also said angrily: "Go back, Minghui! Our Xiaoshan doesn't have to marry you! You think our family's conditions are not good! We still look down on you!"
Xiaoshan said anxiously: "Dad! Mom!"
Xiaoshan's father said: "No need to say anything! It's settled!"
"Dad, I, I beg you!" Xiaoshan seemed to be crying.
Aunt Wang didn't listen either, and said to the man named Minghui: "You are not welcome here! Just leave!"
That Minghui also seemed annoyed, "You asked me to keep you and I'm still not willing. I'm just a nanny. Why are you kidding me?"
After hearing this, Dong Xuebin couldn't listen anymore.
