When it was time to get off work, Zhuang Suan, who had escaped from Zhuang Ning's clutches, took Bai Youxian to buy a car immediately. In order to be quick, he picked up the current car and went to the vehicle management office the next day to get a license plate and drive away.At this time, there is no such thing as lottery license plates in the imperial capital, and some shops can even handle the registration of cars on behalf of them.

That night, Bai Youxian drove a new car without a brand name, the two of them did not dare to go back to the villa, but lived in a courtyard in the city overnight.The next day the real estate company was on holiday, and Zhuang Suan was afraid that something would change if the night was long and the dream was too late, so he packed his luggage and put it in Bai Youxian's car, urging him to get the license plate, and he didn't go back to the city after getting the license plate, and went directly to SD Province.

It wasn't until we got on the expressway and changed to Zhuang Suan that Bai Youxian had time to ask: "San Suan, why are you out in such a hurry? We only brought a few clothes, and we didn't prepare for food and drink on the road, and didn't even look at the map carefully." .”

Zhuang Suan said in a serious manner: "My brother encountered a bottleneck in chasing his sister-in-law recently, and he didn't complain. He wanted to keep me in the capital to help him handle the group's affairs. I won't do it! Our real estate company is on vacation, I want to come out to play with you .I'll talk about it after the new year."

"President Dazhuang is usually busy with work, so he really ignored his sister-in-law's feelings. It's understandable for her sister-in-law to be angry and refuse to come to the company to work." Bai Youxian's tone was quite sympathetic.

Zhuang Suan said: "My brother still doesn't pay enough attention to his sister-in-law. When in love, he must be willing to spend time with him. Men can't always focus on their careers. My sister-in-law is an independent woman with her own preferences and ambitions. She is not free. My brother should Sacrifice your own time and spend more time with your sister-in-law. There is no such thing as work and life in this world, just find a balance between the two. Besides, there are so many masters in the group, he doesn't have to worry about doing everything himself."

Bai Youxian agreed: "Yeah, it's better for me to do the math. As soon as the holidays are over, I leave work and come out to play with me. Mr. Dazhuang should learn more from you. Usually seeing you is eating, drinking and having fun, but there is no delay at all. Keep silent Buxiang made so much money."

The second half of this flattering sentence made Zhuang Suan feel a little hurt, so he quickly changed the subject: "As for the luggage, we can just buy what we need along the way. If there is no sale in the service area, go to the big city to have a look. .It is convenient to go anywhere by own car.”

Driving alone on the road, lonely and boring, driving from the imperial capital to a small county in SD province, in one day, I guess I got tired of listening to car music or local radio stations.

But when two people take turns driving, the atmosphere is very different.

you one

Bai Youxian never knew that traveling by car was so fun.

Zhuang Suan has never tried such a relaxing self-driving tour in the real world. If he is driving, he must go to a place with inconvenient traffic to see and do projects. There may be a companion in the car, but there is no companion who is happy to talk about everything. .

However, the distance was not too long in the first place. After they got their licenses, they set off in the afternoon, and by nightfall they had already driven half of the way.In fact, by gritting your teeth, you can drive to the county seat before midnight.But Zhuang Suan didn't want to be so tired. Seeing that it was getting dark, he immediately went into the big city to find a place to sleep.

Zhuang Suan specially chose the most luxurious hotel in the area to stay in, and also went to the most distinctive restaurant for dinner. In short, he procrastinated until two or three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day before arriving at his destination.

This small county does not rely on the sea, nor does it have a train station. It relies entirely on land transportation, and its economic development is relatively backward.There is only one main road in the city, and public buildings such as the county government, post office, hospital, school, county bus station, etc. are arranged along both sides of the main road, and they are all old buildings with the highest four floors.Going back in time 20 years in a trance, it is completely different from the appearance of the big cities passing by, with a simple atmosphere.

The building of the county government is the most dilapidated, but the appearance of the county hospital and school seems to have been updated in recent years.

Bai Youxian pointed to the school gate and said: "Look, that's the middle school I attended, but it seems that the gate has been newly repaired, and the facade of the school building has also been repainted. It wasn't like this before. My father taught there. Oh, the school gate The appearance of the small store has not changed much, it was opened by my family back then, and it was more profitable than other grocery stores.”

"Oh, since you're making money, I don't see you developing a habit of squandering." Zhuang Suan joked.

Bai Youxian sighed: "At that time, my father already had signs of cancer, and part of the money my mother earned from running the small shop was saved for me to go to college, and the other part was given to my father for medical treatment. The two of them have been hiding it from me. Me, I’m afraid I’m worried. I also complained that since my family’s income is good, why don’t I buy a big house, and I don’t see my parents buying new clothes.

I'm not afraid of your jokes. Before I left my hometown, I never went to a barber shop to cut my hair. It was my mother who used a manual clipper to help me shave my hair.My mother wasn't gifted in this area.

When I arrived at Imperial Q University, the barber shops on campus were so expensive, and I dared not go to those shops outside.I bought a fader myself and adjusted it casually in front of the mirror. "

Zhuang Suan looked up and down Bai Youxian's current hairstyle, and said in admiration, "Your current haircut is the result of casual care?"

Bai Youxian pretended to be proud and said, "How about it, is my skill okay?"

"I believe you ghost! Why do you still work here if you can cut yourself like this? Open a shop by yourself to ensure that it will be popular." Zhuang Suan said seriously, "I remember that your hairstyle was obviously made to please me a few days ago. It was done by the expensive designer barber shop downstairs of the company, and you spent 300 yuan for washing, cutting, blowing, perming and dyeing, so you don’t want it if you feel distressed.”

Bai Youxian nodded cheekily: "Oh, it turns out that Suansu's memory is so good."

"I can't remember this anymore, it's not dementia." Zhuang Suan lightly pecked his ear.

Bai Youxian's whole body trembled, and a blush flew to his cheeks: "Don't make trouble, I'm still driving."

"Do you know why you put SLR film on the whole car?" Although Zhuang Suan didn't dare to tease Bai Youxian with actual actions, he kept talking about strategies, "Have you ever thought about parking on the side of the road and let's make out? ? We can see people coming and going outside, but they don't know what's going on in the car... Is it exciting?"

"Forget it, why are you so provocative?" Bai Youxian took a deep breath to continue to maintain his rational existence, but deep down in his heart, he was already eager to move, and he was looking forward to the entertainment time at night.

In the end, Zhuang Suan returned to his seriousness and said: "The county is so big, I don't think there are any high-end hotels, where are we going to stay tonight?"

"Go to the western cemetery to see my dad. Before the sun goes down, we will go to the nearby provincial capital, and we can drive there in an hour. The conditions there are much better than here. At night, we will stay in the most luxurious hotel in the provincial capital, a five-star hotel. Intercontinental hotel."

On the west side of the county seat, a cemetery was specially built for public officials. The scale is not large, but there is a sacrificial supplies store at the door.All urns can be put into the ground, and a tombstone can be set outside.But the shape of the tombstones is uniform, different from private cemeteries, square and uniform, clean and simple.

Zhuang Suan originally thought that there was still a chance to repair the tomb for Mr. Bai, but it turned out that unless he was moved out of the cemetery, he could only buy more sacrifices.

Mr. Bai, as a permanent public employee

"Axian, do you know the leader of the county party committee?" Zhuang Suan asked suddenly.

Bai Youxian was puzzled and said: "The previous leaders who didn't retire all went to the provincial capital, so they were promoted. I really don't know the current ones. What's more, I only knew them in turn when they were the provincial champions. However, so many years have passed, and there are champions every year, I am afraid that no one will remember it long ago."

"I see that the development of your hometown county is a bit slow, and you plan to invest in construction. For example, repair this main road, and repair various supporting facilities that are beneficial to people's livelihood, including the cemetery here. Who should I turn to for this kind of thing? Where is the doorway?" Zhuang Suan said very seriously.

Bai Youxian's feelings for his hometown are very complicated, especially after knowing that his biological father is not Mr. Bai.He has always had the low self-esteem of being an illegitimate child, and he has an evasive attitude in his thinking. He has never thought about this problem systematically before.

In this era, many successful and famous people return to their hometowns. They donate some money to help poor relatives, or build beautiful houses in the village to show off.His family is from the county seat, with urban household registration and no land in the countryside.Now I don't have any relatives anymore.My mother lives in a hospital in the provincial capital, and she is the only one left in my mother's house.The care of nostalgia is getting less and less.

Of course he was able to pass the exam because of his own hard work and studious efforts, and it was also indispensable for the care and help of the provincial and county leaders back then.He should really contribute to the construction of his hometown.

"According to what you said, I should do something practical for my hometown. Even if it is to repair the roads in the county, it is also a merit. But I shouldn't use your money. I have earned so much money myself, so I just invest in it myself."

"With only a seven-figure bonus, you think you can build roads and build houses? Are you treating me as an outsider? Do I count as your family?" Zhuang Suan asked "soul" three times, with a look of grievance.

Bai Youxian hurriedly coaxed him to the entrance of the five-star hotel in the provincial capital, only then did Zhuang Suan give him a good face.

Bai Youxian said again: "Tomorrow, I will take you to the hospital to see your mother, and then to the education committee. I will see if I can contact the teacher Lu who helped me at that time. He was transferred from the county to the provincial education committee." , has not retired yet."

Although it is the leader of the Education Committee, it is not a department related to urban and rural planning or housing construction, but some people say

Find a remote place to build a school, just build a school, without any compensation, it will definitely not be as profitable as the school built in the imperial capital.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Youxian and Zhuang Zhuang didn't count too late. After eating a buffet breakfast at the hotel, they immediately drove to the hospital where Baimu was.They specially bought local gifts from the imperial capital and brought them to several medical staff in the hospital.When passing by the big supermarket, Zhuang Suan bought another large bouquet of flowers, and the most expensive fruit baskets were all ready.

"Why waste money again? My mother is in a coma most of the time. When she wakes up, she can drink some fruit juice at most. She doesn't like fruits." Bai Youxian scolded, paused and then sighed, "When I was young, the county didn't grow fruits here. They all buy from outside, and the ones sold are more expensive than food and vegetables. My mother said that she doesn’t like fruits, and I’ve never doubted her after so many years.”

"Anyway, if my aunt can't eat it, I'll give it to the medical staff. Is it enough? If it's not enough, there must be a store selling things at the hospital." Zhuang Suan said sincerely, "Do you come back once a year? It must not have been so extravagant last year! This is the difference between being single and having a family."

"It's the difference between having a job and not working!" Bai Youxian tried to correct Zhuang Suan's misunderstanding.

Zhuang Suan said brazenly: "You are with me, our love and work are not delayed, right, Special Assistant Bai?"

"Yes, Boss Zhuang, I'm going to make sure that Mr. Lu is going to meet in the afternoon, and help you expand your business in SD province." Bai Youxian replied very attentively.

Through the previous projects, Bai Youxian deeply realized that even the investment in building bridges, paving roads, building parks and building schools is not completely useless, and can even bring unexpected excess returns, all depends on how it is managed and utilized.Zhuang Suan can always stand in a higher position by surprise, and naturally be one step ahead of others, and obtain profits that no one else could have imagined before.

Zhuang Suan nodded and followed Bai Youxian into the hospital.

Bai Mu's health is deteriorating, and she has been taking antipsychotic drugs all year round. The side effects caused are not only physical weakness, but also poor spirits. She sleeps for more than ten hours a day, and when she is awake, she is in a daze and refuses to recognize anyone.

Taking the gift, Bai Youxian first went to see the dean and the attending doctor, and then

The doctor in charge said to Bai Youxian: "Xiaobai, I have some sad news for you. After several consultations, we all think that Lingtang has no hope of returning to normal. Moreover, her health is getting worse and worse, and the time to stay awake is getting shorter and shorter. The response to the outside world is getting weaker and weaker. You have to be mentally prepared, she may not survive next year... Optimistically, she will last for three to five months at most...she will not be here."

Talking with the attending doctor on the phone this year, the other party has gradually infiltrated this meaning. Bai Youxian has long been mentally prepared, and he is not too sad. It is still an old question: "Did my mother mention me this year?"

The attending doctor shook his head: "No, she just chanted Teacher Bai's name, as if imagining that Teacher Bai was still alive and living with her."

Bai Youxian's expression became even more forlorn, recalling his mother's usual indifference and strictness towards him.When he didn't know the truth before, he always envied others to have a considerate and gentle mother, but later he realized that his existence might be the source of his mother's pain, and when his mother saw him, she would think of the insults she had received, and she would have a good face No wonder.

Now my mother is living in a fantasy. In that world, there is only Mr. Bai who loves her dearly. Without the existence of such a villain as him, maybe my mother would be happier, right?

Seeing that Bai Youxian's eyes were slightly red, Zhuang Suan knew that he was sad, so he made an excuse, pulled him out of the doctor's office, and comforted him softly: "Axian, this is not your fault, you are the most innocent person. You Don't always dig into the horns."

"If I hadn't been born, even if my father and my mother had no children, they would still be living together lovingly and harmoniously." Bai Youxian quickly wiped away his tears, and said in a choked voice, "If it wasn't for raising me, my father wouldn't have If you work so hard, you don’t need to have classes to teach others on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can rest leisurely and eat less chalk, maybe you won’t get cancer.”

"A person has a destiny. He taught you such an upright and talented child. He must be very proud and die without regret. It's just my aunt, alas, she can't think about it, and she can't get out of her knot."

"Liu Hong, that scumbag!" Bai Youxian scolded in a low voice, "Sometimes I hate myself too much, for the sake of money, I actually got in touch with that person, and settled every project for that person.

"How can there be so many opportunities to come back? Maybe it is because you did his project that you accumulated more practical experience and met me?" Zhuang Suan said wildly.

Bai Youxian raised his head, met Shangzhuang's sincere eyes, and said softly, "Yes, it's a good thing I met you."

Bai Youxian and Zhuang Suan waited in the hospital all morning, but they didn't wait for Baimu to wake up, so they had no choice but to leave the hospital, had a hasty lunch nearby, and then rushed to the vicinity of the Provincial Education Commission.

Bai Youxian made an appointment with Mr. Lu whom he knew before, to meet him in the afternoon.

"Ms. Lu used to be a special-grade teacher in the county middle school. He was the director of our third grade. He led the senior year every year. During his teaching, he taught several provincial champions. Originally, the position of principal of the county middle school was reserved for him. Later, his family helped him. He found an official post in the provincial education committee. After careful consideration, he finally came to the provincial capital. The provincial capital is naturally better than the county seat. The work is decent and the salary is high. Teaching is too tiring and earns little. He does not take classes in the provincial education committee and does some light work. Free up more energy to take care of your family."

Bai Youxian briefly introduced, "At that time, Mr. Lu knew the situation of my family best. It was he who helped me find various departments and units to coordinate, and finally solved the problem of my mother being admitted to the hospital for free. He only came to the provincial capital not long ago. Not deep, but not afraid of offending others, only working hard for my student. I have received these kindnesses from him, and I will never forget them in my life."

"This Mr. Lu has such a good character." Zhuang Suan admired, "Then we should give him more gifts, but it seems that there are not many special products from the imperial capital."

"Except for Mr. Lu, I can't get involved with other leaders. The gifts left in the car are all for him. I didn't make much money before, so I didn't dare to be so arrogant. Now that I'm rich, I don't care about my benefactor. Why not say thank you?"

Zhuang Suan teased: "Okay, you have taken all my lines. But civil servants are different from doctors, so you can't accept gifts blatantly, right?"

"So ask Teacher Lu to come out and give gifts to the place he designated. Haha, don't look at me like that. Teacher Lu is not that kind of person. He used to teach poor students, and the gifts are just some cheap and affordable food. Yes. I brought these things this time because I was afraid that Mr. Lu would dislike them because they were too expensive and would not accept them. At that time, I had to rely on my tricks to persuade Mr. Lu to accept my wishes."

"wrapped in my

As soon as the two parked their cars at the door of the coffee shop they had agreed upon, they saw a man in his 50s walking out of a Passatri.That car was a new model that was just released a few months ago, and it cost 50 million yuan. It didn't look like a means of transportation that ordinary people could buy.

Bai Youxian frowned slightly. When he saw clearly that the man was Mr. Lu who had gained a lot of weight, he couldn't help wondering whether he came out by bus?After meeting them in a hurry on the way, Teacher Lu still has to go elsewhere for business?

Zhuang Suan also suspected that it was a bus, and commented: "It seems that the education committee in the provincial capital is doing well, and can provide such a high-end bus? What level is Teacher Lu now, at least the director?"

"Well, the first two years were at the deputy division level, and it seems that they have been promoted. They have gained a lot of weight and lost their hair." Bai Youxian was slightly worried about Teacher Lu's body.

When a leader has to worry about too many things, what he is facing is not just pure students, but he shoulders greater responsibilities. I am afraid that he will be more tired than leading the students who are in the third year of high school. It's not easy.

Teacher Lu was able to take time out of his busy schedule to meet with them, it was already a matter of caring about the old relationship.

Entering the coffee shop, Bai Youxian and Zhuang Suan sat on one side, and Teacher Lu sat across from each other.

Bai Youxian ordered Zhuang Suan's favorite drink, and asked Teacher Lu what he wanted to drink.

Teacher Lu said, "Xiaobai, it's very polite of you to visit me every year. I'm really busy here today, so I don't drink anything. Don't always travel thousands of miles to give gifts. Our education committee is not as poor as you think. , the benefits are not bad. You just graduated not long ago, and it’s not easy to save more money, wouldn’t it be good to keep it for yourself to buy a house and marry a wife?”

Bai Youxian listened to the teachings, waited for Teacher Lu to finish, then echoed a few words, and then introduced: "Mr. Lu, I didn't come alone this time, but I invited the real estate company I work for. President Zhuang personally Come on. On the way, Mr. Zhuang also said that he wants to invest and contribute to my hometown."

The words "real estate" and "investment" successfully aroused Mr. Lu's interest. He originally wanted to talk a few more words before leaving, but now he was not in a hurry. He asked the waiter for a cup of coffee and asked with concern: " Xiaobai, what kind of project does Mr. Zhuang's real estate company work on?"
