Then Lao Li told the story of his childhood. When he was five years old, his father died, and his orphan and widowed mother lived in extreme distress, often starving. Sometimes when visiting a relative''s house, his mother would tell him repeatedly in advance: son, when eating, you must pay attention to your eating style. You can''t monopolize the dishes you like to eat alone. It will be ridiculed. Our family is poor, but we can''t lose our manners Lao Li kept his mother''s words in mind. Even in the face of a table full of delicious food, he would not lose his temper and always had control.
Lao Li''s words touched me a little.
Lao Li then said meaningfully: "Xiao Ke, don''t underestimate a pair of chopsticks. A small detail can show the accomplishments and character of the chopsticks holder. There are so many temptations in a person''s life, but we should control our desires all the time. We should not take good things for ourselves and share them with others. Refining the quality of life should begin with the abstinence of a pair of chopsticks. "
Lao Li''s words made me think deeply. After a common meal, Lao Li could find a way to educate me.
"Some people, though they can do wrong things, are not bad in nature and can be saved. But some people, though they are doing good things on the surface, are bad in nature and rotten in conscience. Such people are incurable." Lao Li said.
"You mean..." I said.
Lao Li smiles and then asks me, "wood Has anything happened recently? "
"Why do you ask that?" I said. It seems that Lao Li was alluding to wood.
"Why not ask that?" Lao Li asked me.
"What if I told you not?" I said.
"Ha ha..." Lao Li laughed and went on drinking tea.
I drink tea, too.
"He who plays with fire will burn himself." After a while, Lao Li said something.
"What do you mean?" I said.
Lao Li didn''t look at me and didn''t answer my question. He turned to look out of the window with a cold face.
I don''t speak. Looking at Lao Li, I seldom see a cold look.
It seems that I can vaguely guess the meaning of Lao Li''s words, but it seems that I can''t figure out the purpose of Lao Li''s words.
It seems that Lao Li has always been elusive to me. The more I ponder, the more confused I am.
Just stop thinking about the old man.
After tea with Lao Li, I left alone.
It''s gloomy and windy.
I walk alone on the road in the early winter of Xinghai. I can''t help thinking of the south. At this time, it should be quite warm there.
Think of the south, think of Haizhu, think of the parents of the South
Think of a prose: in the music of the southeast wind, my southern rain hit banana, lotus light, graceful and melodious!
In the sound of the northwest wind, my north is snowing in the wilderness, my waist drum is shaking the sky, solemn and arrogant!
My South and North,
my North and south,
my eternal hometown and paradise.
I can''t help feeling confused and melancholy. The south is my hometown, but is the north my paradise?
When I was in heat, a car stopped beside me, and someone called me: "Xiaoyi -"
when I stopped to have a look, Guan Yunfei''s smiling face appeared in the window of the back seat of the car.
I said, "Hello, Minister Guan."
"Ha ha I''m shopping by myself. I''m so excited! " Guan Yunfei said.
"Ha ha..." I also laughed: "you just came back?"
"Yes, I''ve just come back. I haven''t come home yet." Guan Yunfei said.
"Oh..." I nodded: "is minister Guan OK recently?"
"Good, very good, everything is very good:" Guan Yunfei hit ha ha: "how about you, are you still free recently?"
"I''m not happy. I''ve been busy with my work recently." I said.
"Well Has the big subscription started? " Guan Yunfei said.
"Yes, it''s in full swing." I said.
"Well If you keep a good eye on me, you must pay attention to the party newspapers and journals. If I don''t care about anything other than the party newspapers and journals, I will take charge of the party newspapers and journals, especially the party newspapers and journals at the central and provincial levels. This year is the first time I''ve given them to you. Success is only allowed, and failure is not allowed. If you mess them up for me, I will completely abolish you... " Guan Yunfei said seriously.
"Please rest assured that minister Guan will overfulfil the task and turn in the newspapers and periodicals in full." I said.
"Oh Can exceed Ha ha, how much more? Give me a clue. " Guan Yunfei laughed.
"No comment!" I said.
"You little thing, ambush me." Guan Yunfei laughed again.
I laugh.
"I''m relieved to have you take this piece. The reason why I dare to take this piece out of the post office and give it to you is to come for you. I don''t have the determination to take it out for someone else." Guan Yunfei said.
"Thank you for your trust in me!" I said.
"You can''t let me down." Guan Yunfei added another sentence, which seems to have a different meaning."Never let the leader down!" I said.
"How is Qiu Tong recently?" Guan Yunfei said.
"As usual!" I said.
"What about Ji Shu Ji?" Guan Yunfei said.
"Still like that, business as usual!" I said.
"Where''s dongkai?" Guan Yunfei said.
"Very good!" I said.
"Your answer is almost the same as no answer..." Guan Yunfei said.
"That''s all I can answer!" I said. It seems to me that Guan Yunfei asked these three people for a purpose, but I can''t find out what the purpose is.
"You cunning little thing." Guan Yunfei laughed: "by the way, have you seen your elder martial sister these days?"
"Once, by chance on the way!" I said.
My heart can''t help pounding, and I think of the night when I was struggling for a long time whether I did it or not. In the face of Guan Yunfei, my heart suddenly became a little nervous. If I did, how can I face Lao Guan? If Lao Guan knew, would he kill me?
"Oh..." Guan Yunfei nodded: "do you feel your elder martial sister''s mental state is OK?"
Lao Guan asked me this question. He asked me if my wife was in a good mental state.
I said: "elder martial sister is very good You''ll see it when you go home, and you''ll know. "
"Er..." Lao Guan seemed to think that his question just now was a little superfluous. He nodded and laughed: "after a while, our study class will organize overseas travel and allow us to take family members with us. I plan to take your elder martial sister out for a walk."
"Oh..." I nodded, feel a little strange, you take your wife to travel and I have what relationship, tell me why?
Then Lao Guan said with a smile, "I''m going."
"Go, Minister Guan!" I said.
Looking at Guan Yunfei''s car leaving, I shook my head in confusion
Then I took a taxi to leave.
When the taxi arrived at the road in front of the Crown Hotel, there was a traffic jam.
At this time, a taxi in front stopped by the side of the road, a woman in a windbreaker got out of the car, and then quickly walked to the crown hotel with her head down.
When I saw this woman, I stopped suddenly -
the woman who was walking to the crown hotel was Kong Kun.
Why did Kong Kun suddenly arrive at Xinghai? What is she doing in Xinghai? Crowne Plaza is wood''s home. What is she doing here A series of question marks swirled in my mind.
There was no time to think about it. I immediately got out of the taxi and went directly to a milk tea shop opposite the Crown Hotel. I asked for a cup of milk tea and sat by the window, where I could see the gate of the Crown Hotel.
At the same time, I also saw that Du Jianguo''s taxi was parked in front of the hotel. He was smoking in the car and looked at me from time to time.
Obviously, he saw me when I got off the bus just now, but he may not know why I got off the bus, because he seems to be unfamiliar with Kong Kun. Of course, Kong Kun did not know du Jianguo.
However, he must know that I acted like this for a reason.
I called Du Jianguo.
"Brother Yi..." Du Jianguo answers the phone.
"See the woman who just entered the hotel?" I whispered.
"I see it." Du Jianguo replied.
"Well, remember her!" I said.
"Yes -"
I hung up and continued to drink milk tea, looking at the street.
It''s getting late. I haven''t seen Kong Kun come out.
I felt out my cell phone and called Haizhu.
"Brother My husband Hee hee... " Haizhu''s happy voice came from the phone.
"Zhu, what are you doing?" I said.
"Working overtime at the travel agency." Haizhu said.
"Oh Isn''t there Kong Kun in the travel agency? Why did you work overtime in person? " I said.
"Kong Kun has gone to other places to participate in an activity. I''ll take charge of it temporarily." Haizhu said.
"Oh Where did Kong Kun go on business? " I asked, pretending I didn''t mean it.
"Yantai, to participate in a tourism promotion activity, this afternoon to report, tomorrow''s official activities I''ll be back tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow. " Haizhu said.
Yantai! Kong Kun went to Yantai on business, but he went to Xinghai and went to the Crown Hotel.
Obviously, there is something in it.
I understand that the last thing I want to see may come true.
Kong Kun most likely flew to Yantai to report, and then flew directly from Yantai to Xinghai. Yantai is very close to Xinghai, only separated by a Bohai Sea in the middle, which is only a few minutes away.
"Oh It''s such a tight round trip. It''s a tight schedule. " I said.
"Yes, I am very nervous I told her that it was not easy for her to go to the north, and it was OK for her to do any private affairs by the way, but she said that she had no private affairs and would come back after attending the activity Look, how dedicated she is... " Haizhu said with a smile: "by the way, just a moment ago, she called me back and said that the newspaper had arrived. She was taking a walk in Yantai seaside with several colleagues.""Oh, ha ha..." I smile, and I know what I know.
"By the way, I''m busy preparing for our wedding. We''re going to have a wedding in more than a month. You don''t have to worry about the wedding. Everything will be ready for me. You just need to come back. Our new house has been decorated and the furniture is ready. The wedding banquet will be held in our hotel I''ll inform your friends and relatives. I can send invitation cards to those you need to inform Haizhu said.
"Oh, all right." I said.
"Also, you''d better come back recently. We''re going to take wedding photos. I''ve already contacted the store." Said Haizhu.
"Well, I see! I''ll make arrangements to go back as soon as possible. " I said.
"Well How obedient, good husband Boo, kiss one Haizhu said happily.
"Ha ha..." I laughed.
Haizhu and the phone, just put down the phone, Lin Yaru called.
