There is no airtight wall in the world. In just a few days, a rumor spread among the high-level circles of Qingjiang City. Generally speaking, Anping in the suburban county leaned against the big tree, and his hands and eyes touched the sky.
The four major Qingjiang families, represented by Mayor Hong, collapsed because they provoked Anping and made the forces behind him furious. This also led to the purge of the entire Qingjiang officialdom.
The speaker was serious and the listener was doubtful. However, most of the people in the officialdom were smart people. They all knew the simple truth that groundless rumors may not necessarily be justified. With a cautious attitude and the thought of being cautious of big mistakes, they all turned their suspicious eyes to Anping.
, and some people who were good at exploiting camps even made tentative contacts with Anping. As a result, guests in the welfare home welcomed the door, and Anping was exhausted to cope with it.
"Dean, please put this glutinous rice away and organize everyone to make some rice dumplings together. Anyway, Director He has this idea, and we can't let down his kindness. However, dean, our family is living a good life now.
Now, you are getting older, shouldn't you..." After seeing off Director He of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Anping felt as if he had fought a tough battle, with exhaustion in his bones. He looked at a few sacks left in the yard.
, and I felt like I couldn’t laugh or cry.
In the past few days, people have been coming and going in the welfare home. Some people they know, some they don’t know, some they are familiar with, and some they are not familiar with. They jump out at once, and carry large and small bags into the welfare home, all under the banner of caring for the lonely elderly.
, but all the insinuations were inquiring about Anping's situation. The old dean was greedy for petty profits and pulled Anping out without politeness. Anping could guess what the guests were thinking, although he had some feelings for these speculators.
Disdainful, but this is the reality of society. It is impossible to say who is right or wrong. In line with the idea of expanding our network of contacts and broadening our social channels, we greet every customer with a smile.
However, people take money and things, and what they bring are all real money. There are really no small-minded people like Director He who can carry a few bags of glutinous rice. He also doesn’t think about the elderly people in the welfare home, all of whom are in their 70s or 80s.
Yes, someone has to be able to eat the rice dumplings. Who can enjoy this kind of glutinous rice that is not easy to digest?[
More importantly, Director He acted like this, which made Anping a bit embarrassed, helping relatives but not caring for children. No matter what purpose Director He had in mind, he came up with such a chore.
The care was enough to move Anping to a complete mess. This kind of formal contact simply hindered the deep feelings between each other, so it was unnecessary.
However, no matter whether you laugh or cry, Director He's words hit the point, that is, at the age of the old dean, even if there are all kinds of reluctance and inability to let go, when people reach the age of retirement, they should also take good care of themselves.
I took a break. And this is exactly what happened. I don’t know since when, the old dean’s back has become slightly hunched, and Qingzhe’s eyes have gradually become cloudy. He often takes a few more steps before he has to stop.
After breathing for a long time, the facts told Anping that the old dean was getting older and his energy was not as good as before. He was really no longer young. He had been running the welfare home for half his life, and it was time to let go of this burden.
"You bad boy, when you say this, it sounds like I'm in my late seventies and dying. Well, you don't have to worry about my affairs anymore. You should just go deal with those noisy women in the main room. Oops, a big
I have been so noisy for a long time that my head is getting big, but I really can't stand it anymore..." Raising a son to protect him in old age. Although the old dean has no sons, he has always regarded Anping as his own. Thirty years ago, a father respected his son. Thirty years later,
The son respects the father, and he can hear Anping's heartfelt and filial care, and a faint smile can't help but appear on his face. However, the old dean is an old-school person after all, even if he is full of happiness in his heart,
Not wanting to show anything in front of the child, he waved his hand gently, turned around and left.
"One woman is equal to five hundred ducks. There are eight women sitting in the main room. If there is a quarrel, wouldn't it be four thousand ducks? Oh my god..." The old dean's words just hit Anping's weakness.
He raised his head and looked helpless.
Early in the morning, the orphanage seemed to be in a boiling pot. A large group of women of different ages rushed into the orphanage. The leader was a graceful and elegant middle-aged woman who exuded everyone's demeanor. As soon as she entered the hospital,
He held Anping in his arms and cried bitterly, bursting into tears. The two slightly younger ladies next to him also pulled Anping, crying and laughing uncontrollably, while several young women following them did the same.
She covered her face with tears and cried, and a sad atmosphere echoed throughout the yard.
Suddenly, his body was held tightly in the arms of three ladies, and his towering breasts squeezed Anping's head, which made people feel very embarrassed. However, judging from the tearful expressions of everyone, there was not a single distracting thought in Anping's mind.
With tears streaming down her face, she also found out that the lady in charge was Qin Chuyue's wife Li Ruping, who was also his eldest aunt. The two ladies next to him who were about to cry were his aunts. Although his parents were gone, his uncle
, uncle, and aunt are the relatives that he can never kiss again. With so many relatives surrounding him, Anping feels as happy as lying in his mother's gentle arms.
However, Anping's sense of happiness was soon replaced by the noise of endless arguments, and his whole head felt as if it was about to explode. As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama, and the Detachment of Women who fought from the capital to Beijiang had an aunt,
The two aunts, the sister-in-law, the older sister and the younger sister, plus Sister Chunhong and Li Hongjia, the eight women gathered around Anping's wedding. They unanimously turned over Anping's plan.
After a heated discussion, the roof of the orphanage was almost blown open. If guests hadn't come to visit from time to time, Anping would have had the urge to sacrifice his life for righteousness.
"Anping, according to your uncle, you still plan to stay and work in Beijiang. This work matter is related to the development of your whole life. A woman can't say it, even if she doesn't want you to stay here and suffer, she will respect your choice.
.However, this wedding room, wow, my poor child has had no parents or mother since he was a child. He has suffered for more than 20 years. The bride has to suffer when she gets married. She doesn’t even have a decent nest. This
No. Hongjia, my aunt has been busy for most of her life, but she hasn’t saved anything. She has a small courtyard in the capital. Although it’s not too big, fortunately it’s a private courtyard, and she will have a place to settle down in the capital in the future..."
Back in the main room, the row of women stopped arguing and all turned their attention to Anping. But before Anping could say a polite word, his aunt Li Ruping wiped away her tears, her pityful face full of sadness.
.
Li Ruping is a descendant of martyrs. She has been raised in the Qin family since she was a child. She is two years older than Qin Chuyue. Even if she does not marry Qin Chuyue, she can still be the majority of the Qin family. Even with this relationship, she treats
The younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law are like brothers and sisters. If she had not been pregnant with Liujia and was inconvenient, she would not have been able to let Qin Chuyuan go to Liaohekou in place of her husband.
Especially after knowing that Qin Chuyuan died in a foreign land and his body was found, Li Ruping was extremely sad and had been worried about her for more than 20 years. She had always been in charge of the search for Anping. Although she did not see the results, 20
Over the years, Anping has persisted and refused to give up. You can imagine the hard work involved. Now that Anping is about to start a family and start a business, it is inevitable that her aunt will take over the leadership of the wedding.
Like all parents of newlyweds, the housing problem is the most urgent thing that needs to be solved.
"No, aunt, I work in Beijiang. I can't go to the capital a few times throughout the year. Even if I go, I'll stay at your place. You won't welcome me..." Seeing Li Hongjia's look of help and help,
, Anping knew that in this discussion led by the three ladies, Hongjia, the new daughter-in-law who had not yet married, had no personal opinions at all. However, Anping was also helpless when it came to this matter, so he could only test it out.
Don't hesitate to refuse. After all, everyone's opinions are considered from their own perspective. This family relationship is very valuable.
"My child, how can I not welcome you? I grew up in the Qin family. Even if I don't marry your uncle, I am still a member of the Qin family. You are not the flesh that fell from my body, but you are no different from my biological child.
Now that your parents are gone, of course I have to take on the responsibility of taking care of you. This matter is up to my aunt without any discussion. Dafeng, Xiaofeng, do you think this is the case..." As expected, it was pretty much what Anping thought. When Anping heard that
When she refused, Li Ruping's face tightened, she let out a long sigh, and there were signs of tears. She even pulled her two aunts together to build up her momentum.
"Okay, it's given by the elders. I don't dare to say goodbye. Just do whatever you say, aunt..." Anping discovered that the rules of the Qin family are very strict. As soon as the aunt spoke, the two aunts immediately stopped arguing, and her rhetorical question was,
The two aunts agreed in unison without any objection. This shows that the aunt has a very high status and prestige in the Qin family. If she refuses too firmly, it will easily hurt the caring heart of her elders.
"Haha, that's right. There is no need to be outsiders with the aunt. Okay, this matter is settled. Now let's talk about the wedding. Xiaolian, your younger brother is getting married. You, the sister-in-law, should help with it.
I'll leave it to you to take care of it. You must do it thoughtfully and gracefully. If you don't understand anything, please ask your aunt for advice..." Seeing Anping no longer insisting on accepting, Li Ruping's face showed a trace of satisfaction.
Smile, in her opinion, whether it is a house or a gift, it is just a formal thing. As the top red family, the most important thing is material things. The important thing is that Anping can accept this.
The gift is equivalent to emotionally recognizing her as her aunt, which is what she looks forward to most in her heart. As for the rest of the things, she leaves it to the younger generations to complete. Although the starting point is good, she and the two
The aunt didn't realize that after hearing this arrangement, the pupils of her daughter-in-law's eyes suddenly tightened.
