20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3000: Be a Good and Upright Person
"You are now successful, but you must be modest and not too ostentatious. You must know that there are always people who are better than you. Moreover, you are so young, so you must be humble and low-key, and not be too ostentatious. -"

Having finally seized this opportunity, Zhao Shubin began to pass on his life experience to his son.

Zhao Changan sat casually on the sofa, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, eating tangerines, watching Yan Zi and Li San, and listening to his father's insights on life.

Then the father suddenly stopped.

"Dad, tell me, I think what you said makes sense."

Zhao Changan encouraged Zhao Shubin to continue.

Zhao Shubin's face flushed with pride after hearing this, but he still changed the subject.

He said a little shyly, "The leaders of the township and village in my hometown came to our house some time ago and gave us wild boar meat, bighead carp, dried mushrooms, a lot of dried vegetables, and two bags of rice. They want you to invest in building a road, which is the dozen miles from the village to the township. You know that the road is paved with gravel. If two tractors meet, there is no place to pass. It is also bumpy and the cars can't go when it rains. It's not about how wide or good it is, just normal driving is fine. The budget is more than one million. Stones and sand are all ready-made in the river. Every household in the village will provide labor, that is, cement, steel bars, and the money for the trucks that pull the materials, the food money for the laborers, and the money for several bridges along the way to buy prefabricated panels as bridges."

"That's a good thing. Ask them to come up with a budget and tell you how much money is needed."

This kind of thing is inevitable, and building roads is a good thing. If Zhao Changan is reluctant to spend the money, his parents will be too embarrassed to return home in the future.

Hearing his son's agreement, Zhao Shubin became even happier.

Soon my mother finished cooking the dishes, and together with the stewed wild boar meat and fish head and tofu soup, the table was full.

"This bighead carp is from the reservoir in my hometown. It was brought here by a tricycle filled with water. There is no land at home to raise it, so I raise it in the fountain pool of the Construction Committee. Everyone who sees it says it is good."

The mother had already exchanged glances with the father, and knowing that her son had agreed to take the money, she was also smiling happily.

"If I don't get paid today, I won't be able to eat this wild boar meat, bighead carp, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, smoked meat, small river shrimps, and catfish."

Zhao Changan was joking and his parents laughed.

"By the way, aren't you going to deliver the festival gifts after dinner? Old Xia's place is too far from our home, and your father and I are very busy before the New Year. Why don't you drop by tonight to deliver it? His family rented Zhang Xiubing's house to make hot dry noodles. The bottom two floors are for business, and they live upstairs."

Zhang Lishan suddenly suggested it casually.

Zhao Changan was stunned for a moment. His schedule was already tight tonight, and he was not going to Tiedong District. The last time he saw Xia Changhai and his wife was during the summer vacation of his sophomore year. His parents, employees of the wood saw factory, went to Jiangcheng to take a cruise to sightsee the Three Gorges.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year and a half has passed.

When they meet, they must sit down and talk. When they meet, they give Xia Momo's daughter a red envelope. It only takes an hour to go back and forth.

"What is he going to do?"

To Zhao Changan's surprise, his father's expression changed immediately: "The two thousand yuan I borrowed from Lao Xia has been repaid, and he has also returned the favor with two bottles of wine. His and his wife's jobs have been restored, and they have been promoted. Xia Momo said that there was no job, and many people wanted to squeeze into the sawmill, so he let her in without saying a word.

Later, Xia Momo didn't want to work in the factory anymore and wanted to develop in a big city, so we helped her. When she had no money to buy a house for her marriage, Chang'an gave her 100,000 yuan without saying a word. When her son-in-law had no money for his business, we gave him another 200,000 yuan. When he came back and said he wanted to sell the house and buy out his years of service, I gave him as much as I could.

Xia Momo got divorced and came back with her family of four. They didn't even have a place to live, but we let him stay temporarily at our home in No. 1 Construction without saying anything. We knew he was in trouble and took the initiative to lend him 20,000 yuan. He first worked on the construction site, and when he had the opportunity, he learned Zhang Xiubing's skill in making hot dry noodles. Zhang Xiubing's house was rented at a relatively low rent, and he owed money to his family to open a shop. To go back a little further, he and his wife were introduced by us. It was your mother who suggested that Jiang Jie go to night school. I agreed to work at the sawmill without saying anything. He had no money when he got married, so our family lent him money.

I, Zhao Shubin, have to say something unpleasant. Our family was in a difficult situation in the past few years. Couldn't he see it? Of course, I can understand that he was trying to protect himself, so he didn't come to our house for three years. When he did, Chang'an passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. Li Yongzhang announced that I would be the director of the wood saw factory again.

That night, he and his wife came to our house, and Changhai said, "Brother Zhao, you have been wronged for us." What did I say? I said nothing and just let it go. "

Zhao Shubin picked up the wine glass, took a big sip of wine, looked at his son and said, "Changan, your father may be pedantic, but I'm not stupid. Today, the three of us are at home, so I'll just say everything at once. That Lu Feifei, she returned to China when she was in high school, right?"

"Yes, she is one realm higher than me and one realm higher than Chu Yourong."

"Our family was attacked and framed by Xia Wenyang a year after she returned to China, right?"

Zhao Changan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

"Do you know how much risk I took when I took her in and that Shang Qingqing, now Mr. Shang?"

"know."

Zhao Shubin picked up the wine glass again and drank the remaining half glass of wine.

Zhao Changan took the bottle and poured wine for his father.

"That month, I lived in fear and anxiety. Yin Wenxi was so angry that he slammed the table and scolded me for having no organization and discipline and being lawless! He had brought people into the construction site, but I couldn't chase him away, and I was afraid that if I kept him, he would cause trouble for the people on the construction site."

Zhao Shubin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said with a sneer: "Shancheng Yijian, Zhao Shubin, is it difficult to find? She couldn't find our house all these years. You need to pass the imperial examination to find her!"

"I see."

Zhao Changan.

"I know you understand, but I know you think I don't!"

Zhao Shubin lit a cigarette, not looking at his wife's unhappy look at her smoking: "And that Lao Zhou, I saved his life back then. Seeing that his family of three was pitiful, I found a place for him to set up a stall and make mutton soup. I still remember that Lao Zhou's family of three knelt in front of me and couldn't be pulled up no matter what. They said that I was his savior and saved his family. From then on, I would go through fire and water without frowning."

Zhao Shubin said calmly, as if he had seen through the human nature, "I don't need him to go through fire and water. I just want him to come to our house during the Chinese New Year as usual after our family falls into trouble. He doesn't need to bring anything. If he is afraid of being seen by Zeng Chunming, he can avoid coming at night. Just like Lao Xia, he also didn't come to our house for three years.

That time when you went to his shop to drink mutton soup, he forced you to put braised beef and a bucket of good wine. What do you think that was? That was because he felt guilty about me. That's why people like him can only be mediocre small businessmen, not ruthless and cruel enough. If I were him, I would not give you anything and would charge you for the mutton soup. "

"Dad, you actually have this side to you?"

Zhao Changan said with a smile. Zhang Lishan's eyes were red at first, but when she heard the man say this and her son say this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course I don't have this side, just like Xia Wenyang's side. It's not that I can't do it, but I don't know how to do it. It's just that I don't want to do it."

Zhao Shubin said: "I, your father, still want to be an upright and good man!"
