Mr. Han looked a little sad.Even though he never mentions it on weekdays, the departure of the eldest son is still a wound in his heart. Every time he touches it, he feels like his heart has been gouged out by a knife.One is the son he has high hopes for, and the other is the son of his comrade-in-arms whom he has grown up to look forward to. His palms and backs are full of flesh, because he lost both of them with that one decision. How can he not feel heartbroken.

"I was taken aback at that time, and of course I objected in my heart. I know that some old friends had a crush on their comrades-in-arms when they were young, but didn't they also marry wives and have children later? As long as they don't see each other, the relationship will fade," Han said. The old man said, "So I thought of a way to separate them."

Mr. Zhang has also heard about this past, and he calmly listened to Mr. Han's analysis of the past mentality, and added some tea to Mr. Han's cup from time to time.

Mr. Han took a sip of tea, his expression was full of bewilderment: "I gave them two tasks."

Mr. Zhang was taken aback.

Mr. Han saw Mr. Zhang's expression, and smiled wryly: "I called our boss over first, and said that I would give him two choices. One is that he goes out on missions and comes back to gain a firm foothold after making meritorious deeds. I agree with them." together; the other was to let the kid go. Our eldest chose the first one without hesitation."

Mr. Zhang nodded.

Mr. Zhang understood the rest even if Mr. Han didn't say anything.Young people at that age are at their most vigorous, even if Mr. Han is obviously a fierce general, the boss of the Han family will agree without hesitation.

The same is true for fame, wealth and status. Since I still want to follow the path I chose since I was a child, dangerous tasks are equal to opportunities for meritorious deeds!Moreover, the education he received from childhood made the boss of the Han family absolutely not run away because of danger.

"After the boss left, I went to the boy again and told him the choice of the boss." Mr. Han said, "I don't need to say the rest, the kid took the initiative to say that he also went on a mission."

Mr. Zhang looked at the pain on Mr. Han's face, but didn't say anything to comfort him.

People like Mr. Han don't need comfort from others, otherwise they wouldn't have kept their mouths open to clarify the rumors outside for so many years.I remember that the person that the boss of the Han family likes is also the person that Mr. Han watched and took good care of. For Mr. Han, that accident was equivalent to losing two children at once.

Although Mr. Zhang is not a sentimental person, but if you think about it, losing any child is unacceptable to him. Otherwise, after Zhang Xiuming was washed away by the flood, they would not have searched for him with the slightest hope. for many years.

"Before arranging the tasks, the difficulty of the two tasks is about the same." Mr. Han said, "No one will let the good seedlings in their hands die for nothing. Those two tasks are very dangerous and require people to do them. After considering their previous performance, I think they can handle it well, so I will arrange them to be responsible. I didn't expect that there was something wrong with the child..."

Mr. Zhang listened quietly.He knew that Mr. Han had hidden these words for many years, but this time the matter of Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning finally brought back deep memories.

Mr. Han said: "I didn't know there were traitors there until a while after the child left. After I sent the support and rescue people there, I found out that it was too late. Their landing place had been blown into ruins. Even Not a whole body was found."

Mr. Zhang said: "Then—"

Mr. Han seemed to know what Mr. Zhang wanted to say, sighed and said: "We also had a glimmer of hope, but the people who went to rescue found a stump with the child's logo, which was so burned that it could not be recognized as a hand. It looked like that. At that time, we went to St. Lorenzo for a DNA comparison and found that it was indeed that child."

Mr. Zhang also sighed.

Both fell silent.

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan came out of the kitchen and noticed the strange silence in the living room.Yuan Ning pulled Zhang Xiuyan to bring the food to the dining table, asked Mr. Han and Mr. Zhang to serve, and served a bowl of rice to Mr. Han himself.His rice is Huaiqing rice improved by the ginseng babies. It is very fragrant, and even the old man Han who doesn't like food has a little appetite.

Mr. Han and Mr. Zhang are both people who can control their emotions. In front of the two juniors, they quickly put away the disappointment just now, and watched Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan tacitly serving food and vegetables calmly.So what if you like men and women, as long as you can live a good life.

Mr. Han said: "It is not easy to take this road well. You must be many times stronger than others, and no one can replace you to do what you do." The so-called secular restrictions are all restrictions. For capable people, no matter how strict the rules are, they will be lenient to irreplaceable people, let alone just a small sexual orientation.

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other, both surprised and happy.For Mr. Han to say such a thing, it is tantamount to nodding his head!

Yuan Ning said: "We will work hard!"

Mr. Han choked on Yuan Ning's serious answer.This kid can really climb up the pole!

Mr. Han said with emotion: "It's not easy to find someone you can get along with these days." He casually talked to Yuan Ning about what happened in the capital recently, "Isn't that girl from the Yu family who wants to marry a young boy despite her family's opposition? Now that kid is up, and he is bullying the girl from the Yu family. Such a strong child, crying so sad when he got home. Your grandma happened to be a guest at their house at the time, and she sighed for a long time after she came back, feeling very sad. Speaking of the marriage of one or two of you, I'm afraid that if you can't find a suitable one, if you fail to get married, you will end up with enmity instead."

This year is no better than it was back then. There were few divorces due to disharmony in the past. Now that the economy is getting more and more developed, young people’s personal awareness is becoming stronger and stronger. The divorce rate is increasing year by year. Even if the children get married, it is difficult to truly rest assured.

Mr. Zhang said: "You are talking about Hua Shichang, right?" The Zhang family has no friendship with the Yu family, and what Mr. Zhang knows is another protagonist in this story.Originally, the marriage between Hua Shichang and the daughter of the Yu family was a good story. The daughter of the Yu family was born well and capable, and she controlled a large company; Hua Shichang worked hard enough and had good skills. relatively fast.

In the end, after spending so long in harmony, something like that happened.Even if you want to take care of a friend's child, wouldn't it be good to give some money or pick up the child alone?Hua Shichang took his good friend's wife home, no woman could bear it, let alone the strong personality of the daughter of the Yu family.

Yuan Ning frowned when he heard the name "Hua Shichang".Listening to the conversation between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Han, it seems that the fact that the child was stolen was not known to others, and even Mr. Zhang did not know the inside story.

Mr. Han said: "That girl from the Yu family has a decisive temperament. She settled all kinds of affairs for more than a month, and she divorced not long ago."

Yuan Ning was about to speak when the phone at his residence suddenly rang.Zhang Xiuyan had already gone to Huaiqing, and none of his acquaintances knew how to make calls here, so Yuan Ning got up to answer the phone as soon as it rang.

"Hello," a soft and pleasant female voice came from over there, "Are you Yuan Ning?"

Yuan Ning was taken aback, feeling that the voice sounded familiar.He asked in surprise: "Yes, I am Yuan Ning. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Yu Qiushuang. You rescued my child at the train station two months ago. I wrote down your name and phone number from the duty booth at the time. I should have looked for you long ago, but the family matter has not been dealt with yet. Finished, I heard that you have gone to Huaiqing to look for your elder brother, so I delayed calling you until now." After the divorce, Yu Qiushuang seemed to feel a lot lighter, and her voice sounded cheerful and light, "I want to invite you Have a meal, let Xiao An thank you well, are you free tonight or tomorrow? If not, you can set a time."

Yuan Ning glanced at Zhang Xiuyan and the others, and said, "I'm free tonight." He frowned, and added, "But my elder brother is back, can I go with him?"

Yu Qiushuang was very welcoming: "Of course." She originally wanted to thank Yuan Ning, but she had gone to get to know Yuan Ning and knew that this child had everything he needed and was excellent in everything. On the contrary, there is nothing that cannot be taken out.She also learned about Zhang Xiuyan by the way. She knew that this young man gave up the good situation in the capital and went to Huaiqing. situation.

Yuan Ning made an appointment with Yu Qiushuang, and returned to the dinner table to talk to Zhang Xiuyan about Yu Qiushuang's invitation.

This time even Mr. Han was a little surprised.

Mr. Han said: "Old Yu has a daughter, and the one who loves her the most is this little girl. Some of the boys in the Yu family also love this little sister as a baby bump. It would be great if you can make friends with that girl."

Zhang Xiuyan and Mr. Zhang were more concerned about how Yuan Ning was invited by Yu Qiushuang.

Yuan Ning honestly told what happened at the station that day.He was anxious to meet Zhang Xiuyan, and waited at the station ahead of time, but he didn't expect to run into the couple who stole the child.However, since he was a child, encountering this kind of thing was as common as drinking water and eating, and accidentally peeped into other people's family affairs, so he didn't specifically mention it to Zhang Xiuyan.

Mr. Zhang and Zhang Xiuyan have long been used to Yuan Ning's physique in the accident, and they didn't blame Yuan Ning for not mentioning it.This is the first time Mr. Han heard such a thing, he felt a little strange: "You can save a child while waiting for the car?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "He ran into a gang of human traffickers when he was six years old."

Yuan Ning: "..."

Mr. Zhang also told all the things that happened to Yuan Ning since he was a child, some things they never let others know in order to protect Yuan Ning, even Zhang Xiuyan, who was studying outside, didn't know.

Yuan Ning was taken aback by the gazes of Zhang Xiuyan and Mr. Han.He never thought that there would be a day when Mr. Zhang would reveal his background. After all, Mr. Zhang usually doesn't talk much.

After listening to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Han finally understood how special the grandson he recognized was.Simply put, you can make something happen no matter where you go!Thinking about it, it's only half a year since I arrived in the capital, so I've already encountered a lot of things?This is still the city center of the capital with strict law and order, not other places.

It's no wonder that Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning dared to approach him directly last year, probably because they were used to dealing with these things.

Mr. Han didn't feel that Yuan Ning liked to take care of things. Instead, he agreed with Yuan Ning's approach: "When something happens, you should reach out."

After eating here for a meal, all four people are very satisfied.Mr. Zhang still has something to do, so he returned to Huazhong first, and then Mr. Han also returned home.

On weekends, Mr. Han seldom did not go home for dinner. Ms. Li was a little puzzled, so she asked a few more questions while lying down together to rest.Mr. Han paused, hesitating whether to tell Ms. Li about Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan.

Over the years, he has seen too many separations and reunions, life and death, and many things have been overlooked, but can Ms. Li, who comes from a scholarly family, accept such shocking things?Knowing that Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan have chosen the most difficult path, will they worry day and night?

Ms. Li noticed Mr. Han's hesitation, so she quieted down, turned her back to Mr. Han and stopped talking.

Mr. Han froze.He suddenly asked, "Haven't you been in touch with Dalian all these years?"

Once the eldest son left, he didn't even know whether the son was alive or dead, let alone know how the son was doing well.

He never mentioned it in front of others, let alone said a word in front of Ms. Li, pretending that he never had this son.

Ms. Li was silent for a long time.

She said, "No."

Ms. Li turned around and looked at her husband beside her: "Why did you suddenly ask about Wei Hua?" The son and her husband had a big quarrel and left the house.Everyone said that it was the husband who knew the danger and sent the child there, and lost a good seed for nothing...

Although I know rationally that no matter how dangerous things are, someone has to do them, but when things really fall on people close to me, I still feel that the decision-maker is too ruthless.

Ms. Li knows her husband's temper, and she also knows that her husband is guilty, but if the matter is repeated, her husband will still make the same choice-Mr. The two children who came out flinched.Over the years, she and her husband have used their own methods to maintain this crumbling home. He kept things from her, and she pretended not to know anything. At least it could make the family look peaceful.

Ms. Li opened her eyes, but there was still a vast expanse of whiteness in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly the expression of her husband beside her at the moment.

After a long time, Ms. Li heard Mr. Han say, "At that time, the boss told me that he wanted to be with that child."

together?Ms. Li was shocked.

Mr. Han told everything about what happened back then.

At that time, everything seemed to be agreed upon, one after another.Ms. Li was also stunned by what Mr. Han said. After she heard everything, her hands shook slightly, and only then did she know how many years the person next to her pillow had hidden all this.

Ms. Li was in tears and couldn't say a word.

Seeing Ms. Li crying, Mr. Han froze for a moment, hesitatingly reached out and patted Ms. Li on the back.

Ms. Li covered her mouth and said with a choked voice: "At that time, I ignored Wei Hua too much..." Ever since she knew that her youngest daughter would never come back, she has been living in a daze and never found out what happened between the eldest son and the child. .After the eldest son resolutely left home, he never contacted the family again. It must be because he was completely disappointed with them. What is there for the eldest son to cherish a domineering father and a mother who doesn't care about the children?

Mr. Han said: "The reason why I mentioned this is because of Yuan Ning and the others."

Ms. Li's heart skipped a beat.

Mr. Han said: "Didn't you always say that Yuan Ning and his eldest brother have a good relationship? I, too, came back from Yuan Ning to realize that they are not only in a good relationship, but also like the person who grew up together just like the boss. Yuan Ning thought With his eldest brother, their father also agreed." Mr. Han said, "They are destined to encounter many difficulties in choosing this path, I think if we disagree, we will be the first to hinder them..."

Ms. Li said: "How could I disagree..."

Hearing what Ms. Li said, Mr. Han knew that she must have figured it out, so he immediately felt relieved.He said, "Then I'll ask them to come see you tomorrow."

Ms. Li nodded.

Seeing that Ms. Li was a little depressed, Mr. Han paused, and he bought and sold all the "brilliant deeds" that Mr. Zhang said to coax Ms. Li.Ms. Li was apprehensive and drowsy, so she sat up and listened carefully to Mr. Han's story about Yuan Ning's encounters since she was a child.

On the other side, Yuan Ning didn't know what happened to him and was told again.It was rare for Zhang Xiuyan to come back, so Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan to go shopping.After leaving home, Zhang Xiuyan was not so particular about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. After all, he went to work, and he often went to the countryside to go to the grassroots level.

Yuan Ning was afraid that Zhang Xiuyan would be too busy to prepare seasonal clothes, so he went with Zhang Xiuyan to pick out autumn clothes in a store that he usually thought was good.None of the brands are famous for being expensive, and the designs are all mediocre, but the fit and fabric are very good, and they are very comfortable to wear.

Zhang Xiuyan knew that Yuan Ning liked to choose clothes for himself since he was a child, and he cooperated very well along the way, Yuan Ning let him try which one to try.Ever since Zhang Xiuyan became an adult, they couldn't choose the same clothes they usually wear. When Zhang Xiuyan went to try on the sportswear, Yuan Ning quietly took his own size, went into another fitting room, and swiftly put it on. Change your clothes.

Yuan Ning's face was still a little red even though he had worn the same sportswear many times since childhood. He patted his cheeks and walked out with a smile.Zhang Xiuyan had already come out and was asking the clerk where Yuan Ning had gone.Seeing the door of another locker room opened, Zhang Xiuyan heard the sound and looked over, and saw Yuan Ning who was dressed exactly like himself, and immediately understood Yuan Ning's careful thoughts.

Zhang Xiuyan didn't have much expression on his face, but his ears felt a little hot.In the compliments of the two shop assistants next to him, he did not change his face and commented solemnly: "It fits well."

Yuan Ning took Zhang Xiuyan to look at it in front of the mirror, and then went into the dressing room with Zhang Xiuyan to change it with satisfaction.

The clerk next to him happily packed the clothes Yuan and Ning bought, and couldn't help boasting again: "You two brothers have such a good relationship."

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan returned to the car with the big bags and small bags, and headed for the next destination: the seed market.It is said that it is a seed market, but in fact there are also flowers and fruit seedlings for sale. The variety is very rich. Yuan Ning will come over if he has nothing to do, and buy some novel flowers or seeds for the ginseng babies to grow.Planting is the joy of ginseng babies. Except for what Yuan Ning asked them to study, what they like most is watching the seeds grow into all kinds of strange plants.

Yuan Ning walked around the seed market with a smile, and the harvest was not small. He bought more than ten kinds of seeds that he had never seen before.The sellers are all boasting, saying that what kind of flowers and fruits are they, which are very rare, and they can make a steady profit if they grow them.Yuan Ning heard too much, and basically didn't believe it, so he bargained with the other party with a smile, but all the rare seeds were all rounded up.

When passing by the Jiekou Agricultural Research Institute, a middle-aged man in his forties grabbed Yuan Ning, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and dragged Yuan Ning inside.This is Wang Chang, the person in charge of the Agricultural Research Institute. Wang Chang has been obsessed with plants since he was a child, and he likes to study all kinds of flowers and plants. Yuan Ning has only been in the capital for a year, and he has come to him many times to formulate seeds and culture media.

Last time he got a few ancient seeds from an old friend, and Yuan Ning begged for two of them. This time, after returning from Central China, he gave him a pot of live plants.

Wang Chang studied and studied day and night, but he didn't find out the specific planting method, so he carefully offered it as an ancestor.Just now Wang Chang saw Yuan Ning wandering in the seed market again from afar, so he immediately arrested Yuan Ning and asked Yuan Ning how he planted it.

Yuan Ning used to happily tell Wang Chang about Luo Yuanliang's improved planting method, but in fact he has been digging a hole and waiting for Wang Chang.Yuan Ning said with a smile: "I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't have time to ask in detail. Now that I'm starting school, I'm very busy. If you have time, you can go to my pasture in Central China. I asked you before. The seeds are all planted by me, Luo Ge, to help study the planting method, you can discuss it with Luo Ge after you go."

Wang Chang has been bewitched by that "ancient plant". He dragged Yuan Ning and asked Yuan Ning to write down the address of the ranch. He planned to bring a few students and colleagues to kill him in Central China in a few days. .

Yuan Ning didn't have the guilt of cheating a high-end talent at all. He waved goodbye to Wang Chang and left the Agricultural Research Institute with Zhang Xiuyan.There are so many new methods and varieties in Luo Yuanliang's place, Wang Chang must not be able to move his legs when he goes there, even if he can't keep Wang Chang there, it would be good to abduct some of his students.

The abacus in Yuan Ning's heart was crackling, and his eyes were rolling.

Zhang Xiuyan had long heard that Yuan Ning likes to fool people to go to the ranch when he has nothing to do. He is almost developing the ranch into a large-scale research base. There are people who study animals, plants, forest composition and the environment. Yes, I didn't expect Yuan Ning to set his sights on the Capital Agricultural Research Institute just a year after he arrived in the capital.

Zhang Xiuyan rubbed Yuan Ning's head: "I'm very skilled at digging people."

Yuan Ning was a little embarrassed: "Didn't I see Brother Luo working hard alone? And the ranch has beautiful mountains and rivers, so it's very suitable for people to live in!" If there were not so many things to do, he would want to spend more time in the ranch live there!

Yu Qiushuang made an appointment to meet at 05:30, Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning walked around for an afternoon, returned to the residence to put down some things, and then set off to the agreed place.Yu Qiushuang's appointment is still in Shuiyunjian. The food here is delicious and private. Many people like to eat here.

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan are very familiar with Shuiyunjian, and they quickly found the private room that Yu Qiushuang had reserved.Yuan Ning saw the five or six-year-old child at a glance. The child had a fever last time, and his eyes were closed. Now he is much healthier and his face is flushed. After seeing Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan, he is not afraid of life. He glanced at the two of Yuan Ning with his flickering eyes, jumped off the stool, ran to Yuan Ning's feet, and shouted: "Brother!"

The little boy is still young, his voice is soft, and there is a bit of a baby voice.The appearance is also cute, the hair is neatly cut, black and soft, which makes the face pink and lovely.After calling Yuan Ning, he tried his best to reach out his hands to Yuan Ning: "Hug, brother, hug."

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Yuan Ning reached out and picked up the little boy.

After fulfilling his wish, the little boy stretched out his short and soft hands to hug Yuan Ning's neck, and made a further request: "Kiss, I want to kiss."

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

The little boy glanced at his mother, feeling that his mother was not angry, and suddenly became bolder, and slapped Yuan Ning forcefully on the face.

Yu Qiushuang smiled and said, "Xiao An likes you very much."

Yuan Ning used to go to the orphanage as a volunteer, quite used to taking care of children, and didn't take the little boy's hugs seriously, let the little boy sit beside her and coax him to sit and eat by himself.

Seeing her son's obedient, soft and cute appearance, Yu Qiushuang was very surprised.She was not a dedicated mother before, because she was busy with work, and the nanny took care of her son most of the time.How dare the nanny put on a straight face to correct some of her son's habits?For example, my son loves to run all over the ground every time we eat, and the nanny dared not attack him, so he had to chase his son to feed him with the food.Even if she spends more time with her son now, it is difficult for him to sit down and eat obediently.

Seeing that her son really liked Yuan Ning, Yu Qiushuang spoke to Zhang Xiuyan with confidence.This time she prepared a very special project for Zhang Xiuyan. If the Zhang family is willing to cooperate with the Yu family, they will open up a vast market that no one else has ever set foot on.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yu Qiushuang got straight to the point: "Do you know that there is a new thing that has appeared in country M in the past few years? It is a portable mobile phone that can be carried with you. In fact, this thing was developed more than ten years ago. Waiting for approval from country M. I have been fighting for their technology, including the mobile phone itself and base station construction, and now they want to enter the Hua country market, and finally agreed to cooperate with the Yu family." Yu Qiushuang went abroad for exchanges when she was a teenager. At that time, after learning about the concept of mobile phones, she never forgot. After the mobile phone passed the approval of country M, she immediately discussed cooperation with that country.Yu Qiushuang said, "If you are willing to cooperate with the Yu family, we can use Huaiqing as a test site first, and build the first batch of base stations in Huaiqing first."

Zhang Xiuyan keenly sensed the opportunity.The emergence of a new thing and the development of a new market are always accompanied by high risks and high returns, but with the support of the Yu family, it means that someone has taken the risk, and he just needs to implement the matter.And as long as it works well, he can even use this shareholder wind to drag Huaiqing up from the bottom of the valley!

Such a good deed is a thank you gift from Yu Qiushuang to Yuan Ning.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "I'm so happy."
