20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3490 My Hometown Is Good
According to custom, when visiting relatives with a child during the Lunar New Year, a red envelope must be given. In recent years in Chongqing, the amount given in this situation is usually one or two hundred yuan, and of course, more is sometimes given.

The thickness of Zhang Lishan's red envelope was clearly over a thousand yuan, no wonder Jiang Jie was a little anxious.

You have to understand that the reason they came to our door was to use past favors to morally blackmail us into begging.

He didn't dare bring any expensive gifts when he visited. Instead, Lu Baosan brought a dog, saying it was a male dog that had come to the sawmill to fight with his dog. It couldn't escape and he smashed it with a stick. He then smoked the dog meat for over a month using pine wood from the sawmill.

The Lei couple carried wild boar meat, wild mushrooms, and a bag of acorn powder, while the Xia Changhai couple carried two bottles of Baofeng liquor and a case of pure milk.

It's definitely not appropriate to eat and take things now.

"Jiang Jie, stop talking. It's not for you, it's for Niu Niu!"

"But."

"No buts, if you think it's too little, then don't take it!"

While the two were arguing, Zhao Chang'an quietly patted Lao Lei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, on the shoulder, handed him an envelope, and winked at the back.

Old Lei looked at Zhao Chang'an with a face full of excitement and flattery, revealing a look that said, "I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Zhao Chang installed $1,000 here, which is equivalent to more than 8,000 yuan.

Today at the dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Xia Changhai didn't ask a single question about Master Wen, which means that their purpose for visiting was quite focused and clear. Yesterday at Pengzhou Hospital, they saw Lao Lei arguing heatedly with the hospital director about Xia Momo's matter, so it seems that the two families have a good relationship.

Looking at Xia Changhai and Jiang Jie, their godparents' graying hair, and the mink coat Jiang Jie was wearing that was still in very good condition, Zhao Chang'an decided to let it go and let Lao Lei go find Wu Yudong and do whatever he wanted.

His original intention was to tell Wu Yudong that since Lao Lei wanted to be transferred, the county archives, a clean and efficient government office, was perfect for someone like him. He suggested that he get a deputy director position there, which would be very comfortable.

-

Zhao Chang'an didn't delay any longer. That evening, he explained the situation and didn't drink. He then drove to the Shancheng Hotel.

We can't just stand Xiong Er up like this.

Previously, the daughters of Zhong Wei and Fu Xiaoling, Wang Deyuan and Ai Xiaomo, and Hu Qian, were all given gifts by Zhao Chang'an, each worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The difference between giving money to Xia Momo's daughter and giving money is quite obvious.

Of course, he could also explain it as the fact that what Xia Changhai and his wife needed most at that time was money.

-

The car first dropped off Lu Baosan, and then drove to the two-story storefront in Tiedong District that Xia Changhai had rented from Zhang Xiubing.

Jiang Yaode turned around and handed the envelope to Xia Changhai: "This is from Zhao Chang'an for Niu Niu."

The Xia Changhai couple looked on with surprise and astonishment.

Xia Momo, sitting alone in the last row, coldly said, "I don't care!"

The Xia Changhai couple and the Lei couple both changed color slightly, but they both held back and pretended not to hear what Xia Momo said.

-

Zhao Chang'an arrived at the hotel, and it wasn't until nearly 11 o'clock that he got into Xiong Er's wife's car and drove back to the villa community.

He had already told his family that he would be flying to Zhengzhou tomorrow morning and wouldn't be going home to sleep tonight. Although his parents' eyes were filled with reluctance, they knew their son was very busy, and while they couldn't help, they couldn't hold him back either. Shang Ling opened the door again, and Zhao Chang'an got out of the car at the entrance, letting Xiong Er's wife drive the car inside. Zhao Chang'an's villa was in the second row, and Xiong Er's was in the third row, on different roads.

As Xiong Er's wife drove the car to the third row of the villa and was about to turn in, she glanced at the gatehouse with its lights on through the rearview mirror.

His lips curved slightly downwards, revealing an indescribable meaning, and he was about to speak.

"Shut up, nobody thinks you're mute!"

Looking at the drunken Xiong Er, he suddenly whispered a rebuke to the woman: "If you can't speak, then pretend you're mute; if you can't see, then pretend you're blind. Guo Keke and Qiao Qinqin are examples of what will happen to them."

The wife was so frightened that she kept her mouth tightly shut, not daring to utter a single word.

However, deep down she was very indignant, thinking, "You men do such shameless things, and we women can't even say anything?"

Especially Shang Ling, although she is already eighteen or nineteen years old this year, she is still a high school student!
Even high school students who are repeating a year are still high school students.

Sitting in the back, Xiong Er looked at his wife's back with a cold gaze. Two years ago, he was extremely satisfied with his wife, and he loved and cherished her as much as he could.

However, in many cases, so-called true love, like the pair of birds in a tree, cannot withstand the test.

During his most difficult time, his wife, knowing full well that he was so poor he couldn't even pay salaries, and having a secret stash of three or four hundred thousand yuan, would still voluntarily offer him thirty or forty thousand yuan so he could pay his employees' salaries first.

However, he never brought it up himself, and neither did his wife.

Fortunately, Zhao Chang'an pointed him in the right direction at the most critical moment, telling him to go to Xu Wanrong and get the earthwork excavation project from her. Then he took the contract to the bank to get a loan, which allowed him to pay his employees' wages on time.

That prevented Xiong Er's reputation from being ruined in the mountain city!
At this moment, Xiong Er couldn't help but think of his brother-in-law's arrogant and obsequious face, as well as his sister-in-law's fair complexion and mischievous cuteness while nursing the baby.

A lewd and shameless smile appeared on his lips.

Men who have been heartbroken often become even more shameless and despicable after their hearts have changed.

-

Nothing particularly new happened that night. Shang Ling went into Zhao Chang'an's villa and slept in the same large bed with him. She left quietly at five o'clock the next morning, her steps faltering as she leaned against the wall.

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may," is Zhao Chang'an's motto and guiding principle; he never considers himself a savior.

Around 9 a.m., everyone gathered at the hotel. This time, Zhao Chang'an didn't invite Jin Shibao and his wife to come again; instead, the hotel arranged transportation to the North Suburb Airport. Actually, Duan Fengqing and his wife had returned yesterday morning and attended a meeting chaired by Feng Jianfei in the afternoon.

However, Zhao Chang'an did not call, nor did Duan Fengqing call.

Four years ago, Zhao Chang'an formally got to know Duan Fengqing and Su Zhengfan, as well as Shan Qiang and Niu Meng'en, starting with that large-character poster written in fluent and elegant small regular script. Later, he and Xu San reconnected with Chu Yueliang's family.

Four years have passed in a flash, but much has changed. If it weren't for the restraint on both sides, they would have fallen out and become enemies by now.

Sitting on the plane, watching it take off from the airport runway at high speed, Zhao Chang'an felt a pang of emotion.

My hometown is nice, but I should try to come back less often in the future.

Of course, before that, he would also do something within his power for his hometown, for the environment of Wenjia Village and Taohua Lake Scenic Area.

Feng Jianfei.
