After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 679 Worry
This snake was psychic. After becoming a little hairy god under the seat of the mountain god, it naturally realized that its previous offense to Li Qingshi was a misunderstanding, so it apologized.
When Li Qingshi heard what the Mountain God said, he immediately pointed to the arm that had just been bitten by the snake, and then said to Xiao Jin: "The Mountain God has helped me force out all the poison, and now I am fine. I also know that you hurt me to protect the Mountain God's temple, and I will not blame you!"
After Li Qingshi finished speaking, knowing that Xiao Jin couldn't understand Li Qingshi's language, Xu Bo'an switched to a language that Xiao Jin could understand and relayed what Li Qingshi had just said to Xiao Jin.
After hearing this, Xiao Jin immediately twisted his body happily and wrapped his body around Li Qingshi's upper body, as if giving Li Qingshi a big hug.
Li Qing looked at Xiao Jin's behavior and had no idea what it was about, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
Seeing this, Xu Boan explained to Li Qingshi, "This is Xiao Jin's unique way of hugging."
Then, he said to Xiao Jin with a hint of seriousness: "Xiao Jin, don't be so reckless in the future. Humans and snakes have different paths. The way you like may not be acceptable to humans. Fortunately, Li Qingshi is brave. If you meet other people and scare them, it will be your fault."
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Xiao Jin showed a trace of remorse and responded, "Xiao Jin understands. Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for your teachings."
After hearing what the Mountain God said, Li Qingshi showed a trace of relaxation on his face. He plucked up the courage to reach out and touch Xiao Jin's head, and said to Xu Bo'an: "Grandpa Mountain God, Xiao Jin is really very spiritual. When he thought I was an enemy just now, the ferocious look he gave me almost killed me.
Now that he knows I am a friend and not an enemy, he treats me so kindly. He is simply like a spirit snake! Congratulations to the Mountain God for adding such a powerful little hairy god to his command. He will surely be even more powerful and protect the mountains and rivers and bless the people!"
Xu Boan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Wow, this kid Li Qingshi, when will he be able to speak in such elegant and eloquent words? He has made great progress.
But why did this guy appear here? What is this new place?
Xu Boan was just thinking about asking Li Qingshi and Xiao Jin when suddenly, a pleasant music sounded. It was the song "Father" by Chopstick Brothers.
Hearing the music, Xu Boan frowned slightly. It seemed like this was his cell phone ringtone.
That’s right, this is the ringtone he set specifically for his father’s phone number.
Because there are so many harassing calls of all kinds these days, Xu Bo'an hates being disturbed by these junk calls when he is driving or in a bad mood.
Therefore, some important incoming call ringtones were set as separate special ringtones. For example, the incoming call ringtones for parents were music like "Father and Mother", and the incoming call ringtones for brothers were music like "Brothers and Friends". Therefore, when Xu Boan heard this music, he suddenly realized that it was his father calling.
Thinking that it was a call from his father, Xu Boan became a little anxious.
After all, usually when something happens at home it is the mother who calls, so if the father calls, could something have happened?
As he grew older, his parents also gradually aged. Xu Bo'an sometimes even worried about receiving calls from his parents, especially during the time when he should have been resting.
Therefore, Xu Bo'an said a few words to Xiao Jin, then quickly diverted his attention from the bonsai world, picked up his mobile phone and answered his father's call.
"Dad!" Xu Bo'an shouted hurriedly.
When Xu Jiancheng, Xu's father, heard that his son had finally answered the phone, he said unhappily, "What are you busy with, kid? Why did you answer the phone just now?"
Xu Boan became even more anxious after hearing this, and asked hurriedly: "Dad, is there something wrong?"
Xu Jiancheng said in a bad tone: "What's the matter? Humph, what's the matter?"
Xu Jiancheng's words stunned Xu Bo'an.
what's up?
How do I know what happened?
Did I miss some important festival?
That’s not right. This is not my parents’ birthday or wedding anniversary. Besides, the old couple never cares about these things.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
When I was a child, my family was not well off, but my parents never forgot to celebrate my birthday. Even if there were no gifts, they would still give me extra meals and snacks.
However, I have never remembered my parents’ birthdays since I was a child, let alone any verbal blessings or even gifts.
Later, when my family's conditions improved, my parents were more willing to take me to restaurants and buy me cakes, and they treated my birthday as an important holiday comparable to the Chinese New Year.
Although Xu Bo'an was more sensible at that time and began to care about his parents' birthdays, he was too shy to express it and never made any special expressions on his parents' birthdays.
Even after Xu Bo'an started working, he would only give his parents some not-too-much money on their birthdays or during the New Year holidays.
However, the parents never used the money to improve their lives, or to buy things that they would not afford to buy on normal days. Instead, they saved it up, saying that it would be used to help their children get married in the future.
Day after day, year after year, parents seem to give their children everything they can without regrets.
But I never ask for anything else!
At the moment when Xu Bo'an was sighing, his father Xu Jiancheng's unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Did you listen to me, kid? Why are you silent?"
Xu Boan was startled and responded quickly: "I'm listening, Dad. I'm just thinking about what I did wrong. Why don't you just tell me directly? I really don't have any clues and can't think of anything."
"Hey! You kid! What should I say to you!" Xu Jiancheng sighed helplessly. Xu Bo'an was confused and didn't know how to respond. Then he heard Xu Jiancheng continue: "I heard that you quit from Dongjiang Construction Second Company, Second Construction Company... Oh, anyway, it was your previous company. You quit, right?"
Xu Boan was stunned and a little surprised.
How did my parents know about this news so quickly?
This shouldn't be the case. This news should only be known by a few people in my company. My parents are far away in my hometown, how could they know it so quickly!
Who is so rude? It's typical that there are bad people among the masses! Xu Bo'an asked curiously, "Dad, who told you that?"
Xu Jiancheng said unhappily: "Don't worry about who said it, just tell me whether it's true or not."
Xu Boan smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I am no longer working in the company, but this is not what you think. It is..."
After hearing what Xu Boan said, before Xu Boan could finish the rest of the sentence, the other end of the phone exploded. Xu Jiancheng raised his voice by two notes, and said in a tone of disappointment: "What do you think? You are too arrogant, aren't you? You didn't even tell me and your mother about such a big thing! You know how important a job is to ordinary people like us, why are you so impulsive!"
Xu Bo'an did not interrupt his father. He knew that his father was old and needed to calm down first.
Although he did not like being interrupted when he was speaking, the other party was his father after all. It was a natural hierarchy and he could not have a temper even if he did not have one.
Xu Boan waited patiently for his father to finish speaking before continuing, "Dad, don't get excited. I didn't resign. The company just happened to have an internal retirement policy. I was planning to start my own business, so I went through the internal retirement procedures."
After hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Xu Jiancheng calmed down a little and was not as angry as before. He asked with some doubt: "Internal retirement? So, there is still a pension? It won't affect your life when you are old."
Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Yes, it's similar to the internal retirement policy of the former agricultural machinery factory in our county."
Xu Jiancheng was relieved and said, "See, a stable job is still reliable. But you are such a fool. You work well in such a good company and are a big leader. Why do you want to retire and start a business? How risky it is to do things on your own? Are you sure?"
Xu Boan consoled him, "Dad, I think we should give it a try while we still have the energy. Actually, the work pressure is quite high right now. Since we are all busy, we might as well do something for ourselves! It's better than regretting it later when we can't do it anymore!"
Xu Jiancheng said calmly, "It's better to have a pension anyway, but do you have enough money to start a business? Don't borrow usury. If you have financial difficulties, your mother and I have some savings, I will help you transfer it."
Seeing that his father was not as excited as before, Xu Bo'an declined his father's kindness and said, "Dad, it's okay. This business venture is a collaboration between me and my friends. I mainly provide technical support. Others will take care of the money. Don't worry about it if there is no loan. You can keep the money from you and my mom. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to, and don't take things to heart. Your health is the greatest help to me."
"Tsk! You're so talkative!" Suddenly, the voice of Xu Boan's mother Tang Rongzhi was heard from the microphone. Only then did Xu Boan realize that his mother was also listening to the conversation between him and his father.
Xu Boan hurriedly smiled and greeted, "Mom, you're here too, why didn't you just call me instead of asking my dad to ask me?"
In fact, on weekdays, Xu Bo'an and his mother Tang Rongzhi call each other more often.
I won’t talk about it when I lived at home before, but later when I went to school and lived in the school dormitory, I started to communicate with my family through the phone. Xu Boan remembers that he always called his mother.
It would be better if his mother answered the phone, she would just tell him what he wanted to say. But if it was his father, the sentence Xu Bo'an would say most often was: "Dad, my mom is home."
If his mother was at home, Xu Bo'an would definitely subconsciously say, "Let my mom answer the phone."
Xu Bo'an would only talk to his father if his mother was not around.
After mobile phones became popular, Xu Bo'an stopped calling his father. He always called his mother to ask about the family situation and express a few simple concerns about his father.
This is not only the case in Xu Bo'an's family, but also the situation of many of Xu Bo'an's peers.
That's why Xu Bo'an was curious. Since his mother was right next to him, why didn't she call him directly to ask about this, but let his father ask instead.
Tang Rongzhi on the other end of the phone said shyly, "You little brat, you're still asking me. Even if you've grown up and become successful and independent, you should have told us about such a big thing."
Xu Bo'an chuckled and said, "I'm just afraid that you two will worry. I was originally planning to tell you when I go home after some time. By the way, how did you know about this?"
Tang Rongzhi on the other end of the phone ignored Xu Bo'an and said to Xu Jiancheng, "I'm going to boil some water. You two can chat."
As they were talking, Xu Bo'an heard his mother's voice gradually getting smaller, and it seemed that she was really far away from the phone.
Xu Jiancheng then said to Xu Bo'an, "Haha, your mother is embarrassed to tell you. This matter was brought up by your cousin's child. Your cousin called your mother and told her that you had resigned and the gravel work she contracted for the company had been affected. When your cousin talked to your mother, she mentioned this matter. She sounded a bit complaining, as if she was disgusted that you had delayed her child's work. Your mother was so angry that she had a few words with her, but she was worried about you, so she asked me to call and ask."
Xu Bo'an then remembered that Lao Mao had called him once before and said that one of his relatives was too much and always provided substandard sand and gravel to make black money.
Just tell Lao Mao that the matter should be handled impartially and don't worry about your own face. It seems that the root of the problem lies here.
But I didn't expect that my cousin's family was so weird. The so-called contracted work her children got was obtained because of my face. They have made a lot of money over the years. Now I have no bottom line in doing things and I even have the nerve to be so rebellious in front of my mother.
I have made note of this. I will teach them to remember better when I have time later.
After knowing the real situation of Xu Boan, his parents were not so worried anymore.
After chatting about daily life for a while, the phone was hung up.
Xu Bo'an was just thinking about going into the bonsai to look for Li Qingshi and Xiao Jin and ask them about the situation when the phone rang again.
Seeing that the call was from Lin Kangtai from the pharmaceutical factory, Xu Boan did not rush to find Li Qingshi, but answered Lin Kangtai's call.
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Kangtai greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Xu, is it convenient for you to talk? I hope I won't disturb you."
Xu Boan said softly: "You say."
Lin Kangtai then said, "It's like this, Mr. Xu, the original solution of the hangover solution is almost used up. Can you tell me when you can send some more?"
So that's what happened. Xu Boan chuckled. Fortunately, he had asked the kids in Kaoshan Village to make some sour juice. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to provide it to the pharmaceutical factory in time. (End of this chapter)
