far and near

Baizhou entered 2004 with the roar of mixers, cranes, and muck trucks. Yu Ren, who had only one day off on New Year's Day, was brought to the scene of a friend's dinner by his mother.

Yu Xiaomin intends to compete for the position of vice president, and the management of the relationship seems more urgent at this time.In addition, Lao Zuo, who is in a competitive relationship with her, is also working hard recently, and Yu Xiaomin has compared herself with Lao Zuo countless times in her heart.

In terms of professional titles and business achievements, Lao Zuo is on par with her.However, judging from the quality and quantity of published papers, Yu Xiaomin did not lose the face of being the third place in the county's science department back then, and became a class of his own in the Municipal Central Hospital.One of the disadvantages is the relationship: Lao Zuo's two generations have been deeply involved in the medical and health system for many years, and many of his relatives are scattered in various real power units in Baizhou City.Relationship network is a business card, it is the endorsement of strength, and it is also the weight of people's hearts to measure gains and losses.In this regard, Yu Xiaomin is much worse, she is only the daughter of the village party secretary after all.

If he hadn't divorced Ren Songhong, he would be able to give himself an invisible weight based on his current position as the director of the city government office and the deputy secretary general of the city government.But after a few years of divorce, Ren Songhong has already married another family, and gave birth to a son with Liao Hua, whom he brought home, and was transferred from the county to Baizhou City. From the outsiders' point of view, it's a good thing.

Yu Xiaomin also has another natural disadvantage: she is a woman.The hospital already has a female vice president in its leadership team, and the new union president is also a woman.She had heard this saying, "How can the yin be strong and the yang be weak? Such a large hospital needs more gay men to support it."

But she would use [-]% of her strength if she had a [-]% chance, but she didn't believe in evil and wanted to fight.Any details that may give her extra points cannot be missed, and Yu Ren is her extra point.

Although he failed to enter the experimental class of the No. [-] Middle School, Yu Ren was still admitted to the top [-] in the grade and the first in the class in the final exam.On the contrary, Zuo Heming, the son of Lao Zuo who entered the experimental class with extra points, was very uncomfortable with the teaching style and progress there.Relying on five tutors terribly dragging ahead, Zuo Heming ranked [-]th in the final exam of the whole year, and ranked last in the experimental class.

Yu Xiaomin, who went to No. [-] Middle School to hold a parent-teacher meeting, had a red face that day. After listening to the teacher's praise and encouragement humbly, she said, "This child is still very playful, and he didn't try his best." Yu Ren's head teacher agreed, "Yu Ren Ah, sometimes I have to read novels after evening self-study, how good would it be to spend this time on chemistry? With five more points in her chemistry test, she would be able to enter the top ten of her grade."

After listening to this conversation, Yu Renyou couldn't tell, why are these adults playing cards, eating and singing endlessly, and blame the children for not doing their best?Yu Ren asked herself never to relax when it comes to studying, except for the two days after she was kissed on the cheek by Bai Maosheng, she was dizzy and distracted in class.

After being demoted in front of the teacher, Yu Xiaomin still praised her daughter on the way home, "Just to let them see how strong my daughter is! What if I didn't enter the experimental class? It's gold that blinds them everywhere."

Arriving at the appointed restaurant "Fulinjiang" with extra points, Yu Xiaomin and the proprietress hugged and greeted politely at the door of the store. After being introduced, Yu Ren knew that the proprietress surnamed Zhang was a medical representative in the early years and made a lot of money , but she was very tired from staying in the hospital day and night to make connections, so she took her savings and opened a restaurant in partnership with others.The restaurant, which specializes in Huaiyang cuisine and eclectic Sichuan cuisine, has a good business in recent years. Yu Xiaomin reserved the largest private room one week in advance.

Yu Ren, with Ben Maugham on his body, raised his face to say hello to the proprietress, and heard a waiter say, "Please come this way to private room No. 1." Yu Ren turned his head, and unexpectedly met Yin Xiu's eyes.

Yinxiu was wearing an improved Chinese-style jacket, and a bright red festive cheongsam that fell close to her body. It was strange that she was not rustic in this outfit, but looked pure and pure.When she saw Yu Ren with a warm smile, she only froze for a moment, then the corners of her eyes and lips sank deeper, and she said to Yu Ren, "Please follow me."

Yu Xiaomin glanced at Yinxiu, and praised the proprietress, "Hey, the foreman has changed again, so pretty."

When Yin Xiu heard this, she smiled generously and calmly at Yu Xiaomin, "You have won the award, is this your daughter? I really can't tell that your child is so old." This kind of talk has a lot of people, it doesn't matter whether it is the truth or flattery, the important thing What matters is the occasion and timing.

Yu Xiaomin really smiled at the proprietress, "Old man, look, you, the foreman, have got your true biography."

"Where is it old? It's still like 25 or [-] years old. She will be in the box for a while, so you can tell Xiaoyin directly if you have anything to say." The proprietress winked at Yinxiu, and she immediately stretched out her hand gracefully to lead the way, and made love while walking, " Eldest sister, I am Xiaoyin. After all the guests arrive, I will serve the dishes, and I will make you our best Mingqian tea first."

Big... big sister?Yu Ren looked at Yinxiu, saw that she had become his aunt in a short while, and thoughtfully brought him a fruit plate, "What would you like to drink first, little sister?"

Yu Ren said no trouble, I'll just pour the water myself.

Yin Xiu still brought hot tea to Yu Ren with a smile on her face, greeted Yu Xiaomin and went back to the restaurant lobby to welcome guests.

Because of Saner's relationship, Yu Ren and Bai Maosheng went to Yinxiu's residence several times.San'er already knew dozens of Chinese characters and memorized the nine-nine addition table, while Bai Maosheng took several afternoon naps in Yinxiu's small room.But Yu Ren and Yin Xiu didn't have many chances to communicate alone, and they were just nodding acquaintances after many contacts.

Yu Ren had a small knot in his heart: Yin Xiu, who was two years older than her, had kissed Bai Maosheng's face.Although Bai Maosheng said it was a joke, Yu Ren's narrow-mindedness secretly broke out: I haven't kissed yet?

Apart from this pimple, she had a good impression of Yinxiu.In addition to her tidy and warmly furnished hut, there is also the food bag she stuffed for herself every time, "This is a special dish of our restaurant, and it can be steamed for 5 minutes at home." Yinxiu is careful, and every time the entertainment is not for the guests Yu Ren would bring food instead of just leaving it for Uosheng.Even if she should see that they went to Yuan Huifang's house for San'er, not for her as a friend.

Yu Ren envied and admired Yinxiu's kindness and decency, she didn't arrive, her expression and tone were mature like 24, and the cheongsam outlined a thin but delicate figure.Compared with Yin Xiu, Yu Ren, who was wearing a sweater and down jacket, felt that he was still a child.

Yinxiu, who has stepped into the adult world, is already familiar with this kind of dinner. She smiles and stands behind the host holding the wine bottle. She also smiles when she listens to the jokes during the banquet. Refill wine gracefully.Standing on the edge of the banquet, she seemed to be outside the bureau, and she was able to intervene and contribute to the flames without losing the opportunity.Until during the banquet, a man with a face flushed from drinking grabbed Yinxiu's wrist when she was refilling wine, his drunken eyes were full of long-awaited teasing, "Little sister, how many times have you poured wine for brother? Brother If I'm drunk and can't walk, I want to find you."

This man who calls himself "brother" is Yu Ren's junior high school classmate, Zhu Chaoyang's father who now has more pimples.

This is the most disgusting thing about Yu Xiaomin when eating and drinking with men, but it can't be unpleasant.She smiled at the man, "What's the matter? The old sister asked the younger sister to add wine to you. If you get too drunk and can't walk, do you want to trouble the old sister besides the younger sister?" , but she still cast a glance at Yu Ren when she said this.

There was a lot of laughter during the dinner, and the man even said, "Don't dare."

Yu Ren already understood this kind of side-scrolling joke.She felt very embarrassed, even though she realized that there was no other meaning in what her mother said.

Drinking talk is called "art", the promises on the table are half-truth and half-false, the sincerity is also strong, and the "sentiment" is people's imagination.But there is an unspoken rule: at the banquet, women are the natural underdogs.Men can mop and flirt, but women can't "take it seriously".It is easy to turn over the table, but it is difficult to continue the "love".

Yu Ren only saw the man grabbing Yin Xiu's wrist while drinking, Yin Xiu had a smile and embarrassment on his face, and poured him another glass of wine while struggling.

The man finally let go of his hand, Yin Xiu still looked at the drinking guests at the table with a smile, and went to add if necessary.Her wrists were red from being grabbed, as if she had just been released from the cold handcuffs.But she doesn't have time to look at her wrists, her job is to hide herself while the client is ready for the next climax.

The topic came back to the troublesome matter of children's studies, which was first mentioned by the drunk Zhu Chaoyang father, "Although my kid also entered the No. [-] Middle School, he still didn't care about it." After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Ren again. His face became amiable, not at all confused by the drunkenness just now, "Although Xiao Caicai is not in the same class as our Zhu Chaoyang now, but you two have a relationship for three years in junior high school, and you can help uncle persuade him when you have time."

Because Yu Ren and Zhu Chaoyang were in different classes in No. [-] Middle School, the chances of meeting him were greatly reduced.But Zhu Chaoyang was still reluctant to give up buying snacks and gifts for himself at the beginning, Yu Ren didn't bother to tell Bai Maosheng and Yu Xiaomin about these things, and he took care of them together.The way to deal with it is very simple. After school, send the things to Zhu Chaoyang’s class teacher’s desk, and leave a note: Hello teacher, this is given to me by Zhu Chaoyang in your class, because it is inconvenient for me to go in and out of your class, please also ask the teacher Return it for me.One girl stays.

Seeing back and forth three times, Zhu Chaoyang was honest. Recently, he changed to a female student in his class and started giving gifts.

But Zhu Chaoyang's father is the youngest third-in-command in the system, and Yu Ren knew the advantages and disadvantages, so he nodded obediently, "Good uncle."

Everyone asked Yu Ren how he was studying again. Yu Xiaomin's face darkened slightly, and she shook her head and said, "That's it. I didn't enter the experimental class, so I got the twelfth place in the grade. But it's good for her to be happy, and she can learn a lot." How much depends on her, I will not put pressure on her."

Hearing this, Yu Ren sighed in his heart. When will Yu Xiaomin be able to say it openly, "The child worked very hard. I am very happy to learn this level."

Others would not follow Yu Xiaomin's wishes. The top [-] in the eighth middle school meant the potential for Qingbei to resume diplomatic relations. Everyone praised Yu Ren for his smart brains, and he must be a star of a prestigious school just like her mother.In the heartfelt words, Yu Ren found that Yin Xiu, who had hidden herself very well, took a deep look at her.

Yu Ren smelled the smell of wine and vegetables, and felt dizzy sitting in the box with the air conditioner turned on at [-] degrees. When he wanted to find a chance to slip away, Zhu Chaoyang's father kept holding Yin Xiu, saying "brother and sister".

Yinxiu still smiled politely but did not break free, which stimulated the man to climb up the pole even more. He wrapped his other hand around Yinxiu's palm, "Sister, what should I do if brother is dizzy?" Someone laughed, "Old Zhu Ah, why are you acting coquettish with the little girl again?" Old Zhu was the person with the highest position at the meeting, and no one dared to spoil his interest.

They had seen such things too much, no one paid attention to Yin Xiu's embarrassment, only Yu Xiaomin was a little unhappy - her daughter who was only in the first year of high school was still sitting in the banquet, and Lao Zhu was so disrespectful in front of the child.

"Uncle, I would like to offer you a toast." Yu Ren stood up, held a milk cup to toast the old man, the old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then happily let go of his hand and held the glass, "My niece, the former leader of that kid in my family, toasts me , can you not drink it? Come on, uncle, thank you Yu Ren." He drank a cup happily.

Yu Ren also took a sip of the milk, and before she sat down, she peeked at Yan Yinxiu, and was slightly relieved to see her retreating to the wine table in the corner.

Yu Ren strikes while the iron is hot, looking at his mother Yu Xiaomin, "Mom, Uncle Zhu has always been good to me. Zhu Chaoyang and I have also been classmates for three years, and we get along very well. Should you also toast uncle?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Yu Xiaomin's eyes, and then he toasted Lao Zhuye according to his daughter's words.

Old Zhu laughed, "Yes! You should drink."

After drinking this cup, Yu Ren personally brought hot tea to Lao Zhu, "Uncle, too much alcohol hurts your health, you should also drink some tea to sober up." After hearing this, Lao Zhu gave Yu Xiaomin a thumbs up, "Oh, Xiao Min, you daughter!" His old saying popped up again, "It's better to be a daughter! Good to be a daughter!"

Yu Ren looked back at Yinxiu, smiled at her, and said, "Sister, can you please help us rush for a meal?" Yinxiu's eyes were mixed with gratitude and surprise, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll go and rush to eat later. kitchen."

After finishing his work, Yu Ren returned to his seat and sat down, and suddenly found his mother giving him a playful look.She pretended not to know, and kept the good tutor of the outstanding students in the No. [-] Middle School with a smile on her face.

A thought suddenly popped up in Yu Xiaomin's mind, "It's really a bit like Ren Songhong."
