between clouds and mud

Chapter 47 The Moon Will Sink ([-])
Author's Note: Friends, when you read the two chapters at the end, you can turn on the music and listen to Mao Buyi's "Give You, Give Me".

The development of Linxi Mountain is in full swing and has entered the final stage. The media of this project took advantage of the opportunity to vigorously publicize it, just to prepare for the opening of the scenic spot in the near future.

As a businessman, Chi Ye sensed a business opportunity.

The Avenue Group withdrew its capital back then, but now it seems that the potential cannot be underestimated.He wants to increase investment at the first step, but at this stage, Linxi Mountain has no shortage of investors who come here for fame.

The share left for him is very limited, and it is obviously not feasible, so the only option is to go underground.

This year, Zhang Jiaxiang and Zhang Fang were delighted to love their daughter, the little guy was very chubby and lovable, and his daughter's nickname was Xiaoshu.

At that time, China's second-child policy had not yet been opened, which meant that because of Zhang Fang's career, she could no longer have a second child.

Both the husband and wife are busy with work, and it is difficult for the daughter to take care of her.

Daxiang's mother was annoyed at having a granddaughter, so she didn't look good towards her little granddaughter. She helped take care of the children in the town, but Xiaoshu was often hungry, babbling and crying Didn't stop.

The sound insulation of commercial housing is not as good as that of rural detached houses. When Zhang Fang came home from work, a neighbor complained to her: "Your little girl can really cry. From morning to night, her voice is hoarse. How can your adults care about the children?" Yes, it sounds distressing."

The husband and wife had quarreled several times over this matter. Zhang Fang, who has always been careless, was very stubborn about her daughter and had no sense of affection.

She thought about it for several nights, with chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it was difficult to fall asleep. The things in Linxi Mountain in the past few years cannot be delayed. As a mother, she is ashamed of her daughter's upbringing and growth.

Zhang Jiaxiang wanted to take advantage of the birth of his daughter to ease the relationship between his daughter-in-law and his mother. The family will naturally become closer when they have a bond, but unexpectedly, this made the two women even more incompatible.

His mother has patriarchal thoughts, but Zhang Jiaxiang doesn't believe in child abuse.After all, it is a grandma, and it is not easy for the elderly to help take care of the children when they are old.

Marriage is just life, and the husband and wife are at odds with each other in this matter, and their faces are red when they argue.

Finally, Zhang Fang thought of an idea. She asked someone to install a camera in the living room. The old man didn't know what it was, and the black lens flashed red.

At the end of the day, Da Xiangniang went out to play cards after the husband and wife went out.

The three-month-old Xiaoshu was lying alone on the sofa in the living room, out of breath from crying, and his babbling and babbling made people feel distressed and frightened, for fear that something might happen.

Sure enough, the next second, the child fell to the ground because of struggling, and hit the parents' chests with a bang.

The little baby who can't talk and ask for help hasn't had a sip of milk for a day.

Seeing the video, Zhang Jiaxiang's heart ached. He was so careless as a father for the first time.

Da Xiangniang gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, Zhang Jiaxiang put the video in front of her, and the old man was also angry.

Zhang Fang is ashamed to blame her for not being able to give birth to a son, but you are guarding against my old woman like you are guarding against thieves. She was so angry that she packed her things and went home that day.

Da Xiangniang has high blood pressure, and she was already resentful because she didn't have a grandson, but now her son's elbow is also turned outward.

An old man over [-] suffered a stroke and became paralyzed in her sleep. She felt depressed and couldn't get over this hurdle.

But this disease needs money.

The family was not rich at all, Xiaoshu was waiting to be fed, and the old man fell down again. Even if he emptied his family, he couldn't raise enough money to treat the disease, and the disease was a bottomless pit, and basically it could not be cured.

But if he dies, let the old lady wait to die?
When Zhang Jiaxiang was at a loss, his friends were willing to generously donate money to help. Zhou Song was the first to know the news. She called after hearing what her parents said, but Zhang Fang refused to accept her money no matter what.

Don't say that people are willing to borrow money at this time, even if they are begging on their knees, Zhang Jiaxiang has nothing to say.

After Zhang Fang rejected Zhou Song, his younger brother Zhang Zhijun also came with the money. The money he borrowed now has to be repaid when the time comes, which is not a small burden.

Zhang Jiaxiang knew that his mother was indeed extreme, but could the hatred between women be greater than life and death?
After all, the wife still has a grudge in her heart, and she is unwilling to bear the burden of the elderly.

After a 10-minute phone call, Zhang Chengnian sent a sum of money without saying a word.This money was enough for his mother's early treatment expenses, but it also weighed heavily on his chest.

Zhang Jiaxiang stayed in the hospital for the past few nights and never returned home.Until Zhang Fang appeared in the hospital, he didn't know how to deal with his wife and son. On the one hand, he couldn't let go of his mother who had worked so hard to raise him, and on the other hand, he wronged a wife and daughter. As a man, he didn't take care of both sides.

He could understand Zhang Fang's selfishness, but he couldn't accept it.

Zhang Fang brought him food in a thermos bucket: "Your body stinks, go back and take a bath."

Zhang Jiaxiang's eyes were bloodshot, and he took the bowls and chopsticks that Zhang Fang had prepared with a numb expression, and the already hungry and unconscious man swallowed.

She took out a document from her bag, which was a letter from the bank and a house transfer contract.

Although Zhang Fang only paid a small amount of money for the new house they bought before their marriage, her name was written on the real estate certificate, which was Zhang Jiaxiang's dowry gift to her.

It is also the only property of the couple. The house is still paying off the mortgage, and the development of Linxi Mountain is coming to an end. Just waiting for the development of the scenic spot, the value of the house will rise.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows this, so many people want to snap up houses at this juncture, and the room for appreciation is immeasurable.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jiaxiang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the words on the letter.

"We sold the house to treat my mother's illness, so we can't keep lending money to others." Sitting beside him, Zhang Fang said with a sad tone.

Hearing this, he remained silent.

The old man on the bed was lying peacefully, his fingers moved slightly.

A man over [-] years old, with tears streaming down his face, he was still chewing on unswallowed food, scratching his hair and weeping bitterly.

He leaned in his wife's arms, and the original cares in his heart turned into deep guilt.

He wanted to take care of both ends, but he didn't take care of both ends.

Zhang Fang knows that the future will probably be more difficult, but the family is supported by the two of them.

If the husband and wife are of one mind, the profit will be cut off.

How many people in this world are worried about money. If they have not experienced suffering, they probably would not be so eager for fame and fortune.

And power is always tied to money.

Zhang Fang holds the real power in her hands. This is the most money she has squeezed into her current career. A total of 10 yuan is worth half the value of the house.

Zhang Fang is not a saint. Her mother-in-law is lying on the hospital bed. Every day when she opens her eyes, she spends money like water. When her daughter Xiaoshu needs money, she doesn’t even need better milk powder and diapers. rise.

The elderly in the ward and the children at home must be taken care of. Zhang Fang cannot do without his job, so Zhang Jiaxiang can only resign and become a full-time dad.

The expenses are the same, but the income is reduced.

Power ah, breeds human desire.

Faced with the temptation of people's words, Zhang Fang can directly refuse, but when a lot of money is really placed in front of her, how can people not be greedy in their hearts, as long as she moves her finger, the money is hers up.

Looking at the leather suitcase that fell from the sky, the husband and wife lost sleep all night. What they lack most at this stage is money.

This is not an unreasonable thing. It is just for investors to increase their investment. If they can do it, they can help. Who invests without money?
Keren's desire is a greedy beast, once it starts, it will silently devour it like a black hole.

Zhang Fang didn't sleep well. In the dream, her husband was sitting in front of the hospital bed and passed by. Then she heard Xiaoshu's cry. The family lived in a rented house and could not see the sun.

But how did she see the light again?

The endless snowy sea was empty, and in the vast white world, Zhang Fang stood there in bewilderment. She searched eagerly, and her eyes finally settled on a person.

It was the back of a man. He walked solidly and powerfully in the heavy snow, and every footprint he left was reflected in the mud.

Zhang Fang ran behind him, but saw that figure gradually disappeared into the ranks of workers without a trace.

That was Zhou Huaiming in the heavy snow in 2008, and it was a belief that guided her heart.

Zhang Fang woke up from the dream covered in hot sweat, feeling very anxious, she stood beside the crib for a long time with a dazed expression.

Seeing her daughter's sleeping state, she gently pinched her little face, feeling distressed and guilty.

Xiaoshu, mother can't give you a good life, but she can set an example for you, okay?

Xiaoshu in her sleep seemed to notice it, and slowly squirmed into her arms, continuing to fall asleep with a firm expression.

The money was finally transferred to Zhou Song's hands, and she was delayed to return it.

Zhang Fang couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few days, but this time her heart fell to the ground, and she finally felt at ease.

The money belonged to the Avenue Group, Zhou Song's identity went all the way to the vice president's office unimpeded, and she returned the original things.

Chi Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, the box was a bit glaring: "What does this mean?"

"Someone entrusted me to return it to the original owner." Zhou Song turned the box and carefully placed it on his desk: "It's very heavy, don't give it away next time."

This matter was obviously beyond Chi Ye's expectation, the veins on his forehead bulged.

Although Linxishan's project is a favorite, he has no shortage of investment projects, and most of them are people begging him.

He just wanted to smash Zhou Song's aloofness to pieces, her friend, her mountain is actually nothing more than that.

Chi Ye wanted to argue, and then pulled her closer to him.

But this time she was condescending, with her back straight.

They are two kinds of people, people with completely different thoughts, three views, and cognitions.

Chengyuan Design Office has gained a firm foothold in the market like a dark horse. At this time, if Zhang Chengnian persists, he can definitely go from earning capital to becoming capital.

With a resounding brand name and countless investors wanting to inject capital, Zhang Chengnian and Lao Gu discussed the establishment of a research and development team model for more than half a month.

If the company model is changed from offline to online platform, once it comes out, the impact will be immeasurable.

Because of an invitation, Zhang Chengnian has two choices, one is to continue his hard work and achievements in his career, and the other is to use his own fame to participate in the construction of his hometown.

Zhang Chengnian stopped when his career was about to enter the peak stage.

After arranging the work in Shenzhen, he went from north to south, like the flight route of wild geese, and chose to return home.

Fairytale booked two air tickets, and they landed at Changsha Airport.

"It turns out that this city is Changsha." Sitting in the car, Fairy Tale looked at the retrograde scenery outside the window. On both sides of the road were luxuriant camphor trees, and a boy riding a bicycle on the sidewalk shuttled in the light and shadow.

Zhang Chengnian could hear the longing in her tone: "When you finish your work, you can come and play for a while, and the company will reimburse you."

Fairytale nodded, feeling a little bit emotional while being happy: "I once knew a netizen who was from Changsha."

The homestay project in Linxi Mountain has started construction, and the renovation process has attracted a lot of attention, because the name in the design column of the official blog is Zhang Chengnian, the chief designer.

With his fame, it is quite expensive to invite him to design. There are rumors that a blueprint can be worth the last Land Rover.

But how much did Linxishan pay to invite him?

The onlookers didn't know the reason, but this man who disappeared from the scene was active again in the public's field of vision. Many netizens expressed their strong support, and even some fanatical fans came here especially to see him.

Fairy Tale follows Zhang Chengnian, and the world in front of him is his hometown.

In this small town, in this village, there are all kinds of people flocking, and cars and motorcycles are intertwined on the winding road.

The local dialect is also mixed with Mandarin. In the process of urbanization, the countryside is gradually declining, but this obscure town is still full of vitality.

The reason for this made Fairy Tale couldn't help exploring.

The further you go to the remote valley, the fewer people there are. The local villagers speak dialects, and they can't understand fairy tales. After half a month, they can barely understand some words.

For example, she knew that "Orange Fruit" was Zhang Gong's nickname, Brother Cheng.

On the road, I occasionally meet one or two old farmers carrying hoes to the field. They watch the time, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

This time I encountered a mountaineering expedition team, carrying huge luggage, wearing windbreakers, wearing sun hats on their heads, and holding a trekking pole in their hands.

The leader was a girl, and Zhang Gong said hello.

The word "Xiao Liu" can also be understood in fairy tales.

Fairy tales have had many imaginations about "sister-in-law". The one who can match Zhang Gong must be a beautiful and incomparable woman. She is probably as cold and arrogant as a noble lily flower on the branch, or as cold and elegant as a tulip in bud. In short She is a beautiful woman who does not eat fireworks in the world.

The girl in front of her was so simple, she was just a very ordinary woman.

But there are also differences. When she smiles, she has bright eyes and white teeth, as clear as a clear spring in the mountains. She exudes a free and easy vitality, like a natural and innocent mountain elf.

It turns out that the beauty of a person is not necessarily adorned on the outside, but also set off on the soul.

The sun was setting in the sky, and the light of dusk fell on Jinding. Zhang Gong and Xiao Liu walked side by side, and Fairy Tale silently followed behind them.

When encountering difficult road sections, Zhang Chengnian would stop and reach out to give a hand to those around him, but the girl named Xiao Liu jumped down, her steps were crisp and her physical strength was better than that of men.

Fairy Tale followed behind, a little stumbling, and Little Six's sister would also give her a hand.

The three of them passed by the foot of the mountain. On the hill next door, there were dense fruit trees, and the honey pomelo was plump and sweet. Fairy Tale had heard that Linxi honey pomelo was very famous.

Sister Xiaoliu said to pick one and try it.

Zhang Chengnian stood under the tree and observed for a while, then climbed up the tree in twos and twos. His movements were very skillful, and he sat on the branch of the tree and threw a pomelo down.

Is that the boss she knows?
At this moment, Fairy Tale saw the smug smile on his face, as if he was an ordinary boy in the countryside.

His smile was warm, and he looked at the girl who took the honey pomelo under the tree with lingering eyes.

Brother Cheng picked up a chirping Ticada between the leaves with his fingers, with a mischievous smile: "Xiao Liu, look."

Xiao Liu smiled knowingly, and climbed up in twos and twos. The two of them sat together on the solid tree trunk. Noisy.

When the young man grasped Cicada, he grasped the dawn of his entire youth.

Fairy Tale feels the breeze blowing on his face and smells the fragrance of the soil.

Fortunately, the night covered her sad emotions, and Lao Gu refused him to return, but Zhang Gong said: "People's cognition follows the flow of ideas. When I was not sensible, I thought I had read a few books and wanted to go outside. world. Now..." Mr. Zhang paused.

Then he said: "My life may not be too long, I should do something."

I always believe that the purpose of our higher education is to help our hometown get rid of poverty, not to get rid of poor hometown.

In the heart of fairy tales, the boss is such an excellent person.

But standing on this land, she could see what kind of customs and customs this great mountain has bred. It is a group of unknown people who participated in the construction of it, and Zhang Gong is only one of them.

They may be just auxiliary policemen who stick to their duties in ordinary posts, scientific researchers who measure the land with their feet, female secretaries who lead the masses out of poverty, designers who participate in revitalization and construction, and many ordinary farmers who return from the city to work together. the result of.

Fairy tales roam the world, but they stumble into a mountain by mistake.

She has seen the difference between clouds and mud in human nature. Human beings are complex and contradictory animals, which are full of selfishness and discrimination, but also full of hope and strength.

Only look at the future you, what kind of person you want to live.

With a new year and a new weather, Linxi Mountain 5A Scenic Area is officially open to the public. The winding mountain roads are crowded with cars, and the supply of B&B rooms is in short supply.

On the top of the mountain towering in the tumbling sea of ​​clouds, the warm sunlight shines on all the growing things, and the creator has left a magnificent and timeless stroke on the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The tourists' long guns and short cannons are mounted on the Golden Dome, and the magnificent sea of ​​clouds rolls on the electronic screen.

More than 20 years ago, Linxi Mountain was only hidden in an unknown place in the countryside, and its name and half traces may not be found in the limited national territory.

As a new generation of young people pack their bags and walk out of the mountains, towards the vast world, Linxi Mountain has entered the ranks of the famous from the unknown.

A group of such lovely people who built it can't reform the world with power, but they can shake the fate of this mountain.
