Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

The night was getting darker, and the winter cold permeated the house. Chen Tianbiao felt the coldness he had never experienced before. His body was already shaking, and his heart was shaking immediately after.He tugged at the quilt, trying to wrap himself up tightly. Zhang Suyun, who came to the hospital to see him, silently filled the hot water bottle and stuffed it gently into the bed.He glanced at her gratefully. What a kind, human girl she was.In Hehua, how many people have been helped by him, and how many people have gotten what they want from him.But now, where are they?Where are those smiles that moved his heart, those flattery that could never be heard, and unsolicited concern?

Is this world really so cold and hard as iron? For the past few days, Chen Tianbiao has been thinking about some problems.He is confident that he is an upright person, and he has never hurt anyone, harmed anyone, or exploited anyone.He worked so hard, forgot to eat and sleep, worried desperately, worked desperately, for whom?But why did the higher-ups treat him like this, suspend his post, accept his authority, and now they want to drive him out of Hehua. Chen Tianbiao has heard from several sources that the city is studying the Hehua team recently, and it is very possible that he will be kicked out.Although it is not yet clear whether it is Li Munan or Lin Ziqiang who will succeed him as the chairman of Hehua, he himself will definitely never go back.

Can not go back. He can't figure it out, can't figure it out! liquor!He really wants to drink now, he wants to drink as fast as he can, and get drunk as fast as he can. "Go and buy me a bottle of wine." He said suddenly. Zhang Suyun panicked and looked at him at a loss. "Go, what are you doing in a daze?!" His voice became sharp. "Chairman...you can't drink. I know you feel uncomfortable, but...you can't be angry with yourself. Big winds and waves are breaking through. You can't bear this grievance?" Zhang Suyun walked to the bed, wanting to grab Chen Tianbiao's hand.She had a lot of things to say to Chen Tianbiao, but at this moment, all the words were so weak.She respects this man, understands this man, and is deeply grateful to this man.However, she couldn't say it, how could she have the ability to enlighten him, at this moment, Zhang Suyun felt that she was so small and so useless.

Not long after, the door of the ward opened with a "bang", Zhaodi stood at the door with a dusty face. Zhang Suyun knew that it was time to go, so she repeated the doctor's advice to Zhaodi, and left the ward sadly. The next day, Chen Tianbiao was resolutely discharged from the hospital. The younger brother did not agree with his life and death, Chen Tianbiao didn't listen to his younger brother this time, he went through the discharge procedures with a limp, and took a taxi back home. The room was dusty, the dust fell all over the room, on the sofa, on the coffee table, and even the floor was covered with a thick layer of dirt.Only then did Chen Tianbiao remember that Su Xiaoyu had left.She had been to the hospital when she left, put the divorce agreement in front of him, and said, "I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Her voice was very calm, and her facial expression was even more terrifyingly calm.After all these years with her, Chen Tianbiao saw her so calm and calm for the first time.He didn't say anything that day. He was a divorced person and knew what marriage meant to a man and to a woman.Once a marriage is about to break up, there is nothing to say.I wanted to ask where she was going and how much money did she bring?Thinking again, these words might cause her to misunderstand, so she simply didn't ask anything, turned her head and closed her eyes, and waited for her to disappear.

Now when I come home, I suddenly feel that the home is gone, gone again.A wave of sad emotions welled up, and Chen Tianbiao felt a failure he had never experienced before. After Zhaodi entered the room, he glanced at him and said nothing.My brother knew about Su Xiaoyu running away from home. She happened to be away that day. If she was there, she would give Su Xiaoyu a bad face, and it is possible to swear bad words.When she came from the village, Su Xiaoyu had already left.Chen Tianbiao was lying on the bed, holding the divorce agreement in his hand, his obsessive look was uncomfortable.Brother Zhao asked several times what happened, and then Chen Tianbiao said that Su Xiaoyu left without taking or asking for anything, and just left.

"It wasn't hers in the first place, what did she take, does she have the face?" Brother Zhao snapped.Chen Tianbiao smiled wryly. Only after losing something can one feel its preciousness.What's more, what Chen Tianbiao lost this time was a man, a wife who had been with him for five years.It was he who turned Su Xiaoyu from a girl with yellow flowers into a second wife, and Chen Tianbiao was filled with emotion.Thinking of the first time he divorced his aunt, he didn't seem to be so uncomfortable. Although there was pain, but after all, there was Su Xiaoyu waiting here, so the discomfort could be resolved.But this time, he couldn't resolve it.

On the day Zhaodi nagged and talked a lot, Chen Tianbiao became dissatisfied later, and reprimanded: "It's okay if you don't say a few words, everyone is gone, you still don't let her go!" Zhaodi immediately lost face and said angrily: "I didn't let her go, did she rob me or rob me? It's none of my business if she dies!" After cursing, she packed up her things and wanted to leave.Chen Tianbiao didn't stop him either.His heart was in a mess, he used to wish that Su Xiaoyu would disappear immediately, but when he really disappeared, he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.Zhaodi didn't leave, and she was just talking angrily.She hated Su Xiaoyu, hated it so inexplicably, hated it so much that she didn't know why.Su Xiaoyu really left Chen Tianbiao, but she was worried about her again. "Have you said that, where are you going? That man is a hot-tempered man, if someone dies, will Su Wancai and his wife let you go?" Chen Tianbiao was speechless.

This time, the same feeling hit Zhaodi.Looking at the extremely deserted home, full of dust, Zhaodi's heart ached a few times.As a woman, I have an instinctive yearning and love for the warmth and cleanliness of my home. Looking at the desolate scene in front of me, my younger brother sighs, so no woman's home is like this.When Su Xiaoyu was here, no matter what, this was a home.Chen Tianbiao had a busy day, and when he returned home, someone brought him hot tea and hot rice.But now... Zhaodi's tears fell involuntarily, and he couldn't control it.Afraid that Chen Tianbiao would see it, she secretly wiped away her tears, picked up a rag, and hurriedly cleaned up.The dust slowly left with her hands.Step by step, the house goes clean.The boiling water on the stove was also steaming, and the feeling of home was slowly rising in her hands.Just as it was about to be tidied up, there was a knock on the door outside. "Who is it?" Brother Zhao asked, and walked over to open the door.As soon as the door opened, she was startled.

Su Wancai led four or five people, including his wife Yao Guiying, and stood outside the door. "You..." Brother Zhao asked timidly. "Go away, you bastard, no wonder my daughter can't make it through, it's because of you, an old goblin." Yao Guiying took the lead in stepping over, grabbed Zhaodi's collar, and slapped her mouth without any further explanation.Brother Zhao had never been humiliated before, he was woken up by Yao Guiying's slap after two slaps, and he punched back, Yao Guiying's nostrils were bleeding, and the bridge of his nose was almost broken by Brother Zhao.

"Okay, you dare to beat my wife, you shameless old man, you don't say anything about grabbing my daughter's bed, but you dare to be cruel to my wife. Beat me to death, and I will be responsible for it." Su Wancai didn't do anything himself, and ordered to bring Some people are rough on Zhaodi.At this moment, there was a sound from the stairway: "Who dares?!" It turned out to be Dunzi.He went to the hospital to see Chen Tianbiao, and the nurse rushed to tell him that the patient had been forced out of the hospital.Seeing this formation, one knew what had happened.

"Su Wancai, you're so kind, you brought someone to the door." Su Wancai glanced at Tunzi: "Leave me alone with my housework." "Beating my wife is also your housework?" I'm afraid no one will believe it, but Su Wancai is not afraid of anyone, except for a prick in his arm.When they were young, the two quarreled over trivial matters.Once when Su Wancai made a move, Dunzi hacked wildly with a shovel, almost cutting off an ear.After that, when Su Wancai saw Dunzi, he avoided it from a distance. "Who beat your wife, did you see it?" Dunzi ignored Su Wancai, walked over in a few steps, and lay in front of Yao Guiying: "What did you scold just now, please repeat it for me to hear?" "I...I..." Yao Guiying shrank back in fright.Dunzi is famous in the village for daring to risk his life. As the saying goes, the evil is afraid of the evil, and the violent is afraid of death. Few people in Xiasiba Village dare to compete with Dunzi, let alone he has only one arm. "I scold the person who bullies my daughter!" Yao Guiying groaned for a long time, and choked out a sentence. "Tell your daughter about your daughter, don't be ashamed of yourself here." Dunzi said that he was about to enter the door, but Yao Guiying suddenly refused: "I have lost someone, did I steal or rob someone, why don't I tell you today?" Clearly, no one is finished." Su Wancai also answered: "Where has my daughter gone? If he can't hand over his rags to someone today, there will be no end!" As soon as the words fell to the ground, Chen Tianbiao's figure flashed at the door. "Get out of the way, let them in!" Unknown, Zhaodi and Dunzi looked at Chen Tianbiao for a long time, seeing that Chen Tianbiao didn't look like usual, so they flashed their bodies and let Su Wancai and his group in. "Tell me, come to my house, what do you want to do?" Chen Tianbiao looked very calm, not at all panicked by Su Xiaoyuniang's family coming to the door. "My surname is Chen, where is my daughter? Where is my Xiaoyu? You have to make it clear. If you live, give me a dead body." Yao Guiying started to play tricks again. "Don't worry, she won't die, she is alive and well." Chen Tianbiao said. "It's fine if you say yes, you have made her like this, and you have the face to say so. My poor daughter, Xiaoyu, I'm sorry." Yao Guiying burst into tears. "We won't see my daughter today, so we won't leave!" Su Wancai said aggressively as he landed on Chen Tianbiao's sofa. The two sides quarreled for a long time, but Chen Tianbiao stopped arguing and said: "I know why you came here. The things in this house belong to me and once belonged to your daughter. Whatever you fancy, just take it. You can tear down this building. Let’s take it apart too.” After speaking, he walked into the bedroom on one leg. "Really?" Su Wancai and Yao Guiying asked together, their eyes met. "Move, I will move everything that can be moved!" Su Wancai knew that the time would never come, so he waved his hand and directed the men who came with him to move things out.As he moved, he said, "This family has half of my daughter. No, more than half, and my daughter's loss of youth, I have to pay for it." The house that had just been tidied up was suddenly too messy to move. Brother Zhao looked at Dunzi sadly, and went to the bedroom to take care of Chen Tianbiao without saying anything.Dunzi was like a door god, guarding the door, but he couldn't stop Su Wancai and the others from carrying things outside. After nearly three hours of tossing, Su Wancai and his wife were finally satisfied.A Fengshi's home was tossed and emptied, as long as the family could be moved, Su Wancai left nothing for Chen Tianbiao.The TV, refrigerator, sofa, tables and chairs, tableware, including a calligraphy and painting on the wall were also taken down by his subordinates. They also said that it was Mr. Wen's painting, so it was very valuable.Evacuating the house didn't count, but before leaving, Su Wancai asked Chen Tianbiao for half a million.Saying that a big girl with a yellow flower made him ruin it like this, this little money still doesn't satisfy his hatred. After Su Wancai and the others left, the three of them just sat there without speaking.Tunzi lit a cigarette and smoked one after another.Chen Tianbiao also wanted to smoke, but Zhao brother stopped him with his eyes.After sitting bored for more than an hour, Chen Tianbiao said, "Go back, I will sit alone." Neither of the two said they would not leave. Normally, they would not be able to leave, but today, Zhaodi and Dunzi obediently walked away.As soon as the two of them left the door, Chen Tianbiao howled like a wolf. Su Xiaoyu's departure dealt a fatal blow to Chen Tianbiao. He was no longer in the mood to go to the city hall, let alone think about Hehua.It seemed that everything he had worked so hard for had gone away from him, and he was in a daze all day long, immersed in inexplicable difficulties.He is like an old tree, withered and withered in the autumn wind, more like a dead wood, waiting to die. Tunzi was worried, and came to see him every day. In the past, the two of them talked and laughed, making a lot of noise.But now, Chen Tianbiao was speechless, Dunzi was speechless, and both of them became dumb.This went on for a while, and Tunzi got scared. One day he finally said, "Why don't you call Wangcheng and ask his mother to come back." The Spring Festival is just around the corner. As in previous years, every Spring Festival, lower-level units have to send New Year’s goods to higher-level units or competent departments.This matter must not be sloppy at all, and it must not be stingy. If anyone messes up this matter, his life will be difficult.Some people say that delivering New Year’s goods is a war, but also a big drama.Everyone wants to stand out in this contest. Hehua is a big company, so it is natural to be grand in its New Year's goods.One month ago, Li Mu'nan arranged this work.According to the routine, each department first reports the business unit to the office, and after a unified summary, it is reported to the general manager's office meeting for research.This year is in a critical period of reform, and the number of business units has increased significantly compared to previous years. In addition to the big mouths of industry and commerce, taxation, and banking, the number of government departments has increased a lot.Such as the Economic Reform Commission, the Reemployment Office, the China Merchants Bureau, the Bureau of Letters and Calls, etc., and a large part is the news media. During the research at the general manager's office meeting, the leaders also proposed some units that had to be done.After summarizing everything, Li Munan was startled.The burden of this year's New Year's goods is really not small. After careful calculation, it is still nearly 500,000 more than last year. Where does the money come from?At this time in previous years, Hehua's financial situation is the best in a year, a large amount of money has been returned, and the bank has also supported it well.But this year, finances are surprisingly tight.The recovery of payment for goods has encountered the worst level in the past years, and the bank is only thundering but not raining.Not being in charge of the family does not know the price of oil and salt, Li Munan has realized what it means to be a smart woman who can't cook without rice. As a last resort, Li Munan started running to the bank again.But the bank is not what he wants to run. He is very friendly and enthusiastic, but just one thing, don't mention the loan.Not asking for interest is enough to save face, and the bank also has its difficulties, and those difficulties are more than what Li Munan encountered. Li Munan was disheartened after touching his nose a few times in succession.On this day, he called Minister Zhu of the Finance Department and asked, "Where can I get money after leaving the bank?"Li Munan asked several times, but Minister Zhu had to answer, gritted his teeth and said, "There are ways, but I don't know if it will work or not." "What way, say." "Borrow, borrow from the seller." Li Munan was delighted. The market sales of the products of the old Hehua factory are pretty good, and it is not difficult to borrow money from the seller. This method was used before when funds were tight, and Li Munan knew about it.However, there must be a discount when the price is supplied, and this is what the seller intends.But if this is not done well, there will be problems, such as whether they will eat enough food, and it will cause too much pressure on the production area.If production is endangered, the responsibility can be great.Li Munan called the vice president in charge of production, thought it over for a long time, and only asked the finance minister to borrow money when he was sure that there would be no problem with the production in the first quarter. Minister Zhu lived up to his high expectations and borrowed three million in a few days. The funds are settled, and the gift becomes a problem again.Before the festival, there is an endless stream of units and individuals contacting the gift business. Everyone is the first to stare at the fat of Hehua. Everyone who comes to the door has a background, and no one can be offended. Hold on to him till night.Forced to do so, Li Munan turned off his cell phone, hid in the second-story building, and pushed the matter to Director Zhang of the office. Director Zhang is very experienced in this area. He has been in charge of Chen Tianbiao's family for so many years, and he has managed a lot of tricks.He lined up the young masters according to their leadership positions, and talked in order.If you spend more than four or five million yuan, if you don't think about it, you can solve this problem. Li Munan said to Director Zhang with deep emotion: "It seems that managing a company is a university question. I thought it was too simple before." Director Zhang said modestly: "I learned this from the chairman." Mentioning Chen Tianbiao made Li Munan feel heavy. He hadn't visited Chen Tianbiao for some days, and every time he went, he was afraid again.I don't know what to be afraid of, but I am afraid. In the end, I had to stop. He knew that he was getting farther and farther away from Chen Tianbiao.Many people in the society have scolded him for being ungrateful and doing anything for power.Facing the criticism, he was very painful and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to explain it.The only thing we can do now is to ensure the normal operation of the enterprise. Gifts must be given, but the scope should not be too large. Focus on the main and the important, and save what should be saved.Li Munan revised the scope again, and decisively cut off the retired veteran cadres, let them feel wronged, and make up for them when the company's profitability improves in the future.At the same time, he cut off all his related accounts, in order to prevent the members of the team from speaking gossip. Once the scope is determined, act quickly.The gift-giving was divided into four groups, led by four factory leaders, and the soldiers were divided into four groups, traveling day and night.Li Munan took Bai Lin, the cashier, and two secretaries in the office, and ran to several family buildings of the municipal committee.Running upstairs is a test of willpower, and it feels no different from being a thief.You have to memorize which floor the person you are going to live on, whether you are left-handed or right-handed.I am afraid of running into acquaintances when I go upstairs, so I can't talk in the corridor, and my footsteps should not be too tight.These days, most leaders are not at home, and it is inconvenient to be at home. Who would wait at home to receive gifts?Only the wife or child at home, looking through the cat's eyes for a long time, and convinced that it is not a bad person, opened the door and asked who to look for?Your eyes are fixed on the things in your arms.If it is something with a big target and no value at all, the door will be locked with a "snap".At the entrance of the door, Li Munan met two gift givers carrying large cardboard boxes. Panting, they carried them up and let them back down.That hard work is really touching.They must be carrying mutton, old-fashioned.Seeing Li Munan and the others holding "Bo Bao", they said with emotion: "Look at them, the box is so small and the things are affordable, it's not like us, stupid." No one expected that "Bobo wine" was so popular this year that almost every family member was very happy to see it.Li Munan is really grateful to Director Zhang, the butler is a butler after all. After a night of seeing off, Li Munan realized something was wrong, the license plates of all the cars parked downstairs were covered, only Hehua, this was a big negligence.On the second night, the license plate was firmly covered, and Li Munan felt at ease. For a whole week, Dakou's New Year's goods were delivered, and the remaining ones were delivered by the leaders alone.That night, it was nearly twelve o'clock when Li Munan finished delivering the New Year's goods, and when he returned to the factory, he felt that his whole body was falling apart.After the factory leaders reported the situation, they returned home one after another. He lay in the guest house, not wanting to move at all.Tired, really tired, I simply made do with the night in the guest house. That night, Li Munan actually dreamed of Su Xiaoyu.Su Xiaoyu committed suicide!Waking up from the nightmare, sweating all over, he hurriedly called Su Xiaoyu.The phone was told that it was an empty number, and I dialed it several times in a row, but it was the same voice.No, she will never commit suicide!While comforting himself, Li Munan flipped through the phone book, but unfortunately, there was no Su Xiaoyu's new number in the phone. Where the hell is she and is she okay now? Xiaoyu... as if his soul had come out of his body, he sat numbly until dawn. On the day when the New Year's goods were about to be delivered, Director Zhang suddenly came and said, Ding Wanshou is here! Li Munan was startled and asked, "Where is it?" "The gate." Director Zhang wiped his sweat, feeling uneasy about his negligence. "What did he come here for?" Li Munan asked puzzled. Director Zhang groaned for a long time, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it's for the New Year's goods." It turned out that several celebrities in Heyang City had the habit of collecting New Year's goods, and the heads of the units always wanted to give some charity during the New Year and festivals for the sake of safety.If you accidentally forget, Di Yulan will give you a traffic jam without any discussion, and Ding Wanshou will sit quietly at your gate. It doesn't matter if he sits, but the beggars are the ones who are afraid, and they will follow suit.Dozens of beggars are lying in front of your door, what kind of scene is that? At this time, Ding Wanshou and his beggars were lying at the gate of Hehua, scratching their heads and ears, baring their teeth, and taking off their pants to catch lice.The workers gathered in the distance, not sure what was going on, but secretly excited. If the efficiency of the enterprise is not good, the employee benefits will be less.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, no one mentions employee benefits, and the workers are of course not happy.Seeing that there are gifts being given out every day, they are all earned by their blood and sweat. Of course, the workers put this account on Li Munan. Li Munan blamed Director Zhang: "Why didn't you say it earlier, and just send him a few copies earlier?" Director Zhang said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the few copies now." Li Munan said angrily: "How much you get, you can't give it all to him, can you?" Qi returns to Qi, and people have to get rid of it.He waved his hand at Director Zhang and said angrily, "You can figure it out." After the beggars left with a pile of presents, Director Zhang said to Li Munan again: "Di Yulan's house, I'm afraid you have to go there yourself." Li Munan exploded at this moment: "Let me give her a gift, are you finished?!" Director Zhang wanted to explain in detail, but when he heard that Li Munan made him angry, he became emotional at the moment. Don't blame me if something goes wrong. Li Munan's car was blocked by Di Yulan. At noon the next day, Li Munan invited a leader of the Economic Reform Commission to have dinner. He and Bai Lin had just got off the car when they found Di Yulan blocking the entrance of the hotel. Li Munan wanted to get in the car and slip away, but it was too late.Several beggars surrounded his car and shouted, "Everyone is a beggar, why should others have them or not?" Bai Lin had never seen such a battle before, she was so frightened that she trembled.The two beggars surrounded her mischievously, rubbing their eyes at her. Li Munan got angry, took out his mobile phone and called 110.After a while, the 110 car came, but Di Yulan's small horn also sounded.Hearing that Di Yulan was stuck in traffic, she drove 110 onto another street and left yelling. Di Yulan danced and danced, and walked up to Li Munan: Li Munan bastard dares to betray Chen Tianbiao benefactor wife you dare to steal You sold out Hehua's family business The power of Hehua is yours ... I say one thing, I leave one sentence save face for you today go home and reflect on yourself You won't be cheap next time Bai Lin was in a hurry, and shouted at Di Yulan in desperation: "You are talking nonsense, don't slander our chairman!" Di Yulan was about to leave, but when she heard Bai Lin yelling, she turned to face her and sang: This woman is called Bai Lin, she looks really like a bone spirit don't worry about work Exclusively for the factory manager to sell style ... Bai Lin was extremely ashamed, she had never been humiliated like this before, and she was in front of so many people.She covered her face and ran away from the crowd. This lesson made Li Munan understand that there are some things that he can't change if he wants to.Di Yulan, Ding Wanshou and the others dared to be so confident, and it wasn't something they developed in a day or two.It's really a place where the soil and water support the people!After thinking about it, Li Munan decided to go to Di Yulan's house. Di Yulan was lying on the sofa watching TV, her expression was no different from that of a normal person.Her little daughter politely gave up her seat to them and offered a cigarette.Li Munan saw that the smoke was actually Zhonghua.Looking at her house again, the small living room was stacked with gifts all over the floor, all of which were high-quality tobacco and alcohol, more than he had seen in the leader's house.Di Yulan glanced sideways at the gifts they brought in, and said indifferently, "You really have a long memory." Li Munan was really angry and hated, and was afraid of what she would say in front of Director Zhang, so he nodded with a smile and turned around before he dared to sit down. After leaving the door, Director Zhang asked, "Where's the God Baby's house?" Li Munan said angrily, "Go by yourself!" After saying that, he jumped into the car and returned to the factory angrily without even pulling Director Zhang away. . Although the New Year's Eve is approaching, the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve has yet to be revealed. Walking on the street, you can see depression everywhere.Heyang City is like a sad old widow, with a tired face and exhausted body. The owners of wholesale stores, large and small, all have sad faces on their faces, watching the new year approaching day by day, but the backlog of new year's goods cannot be sold out.They were all sadly nostalgic for those years when they first started business. As soon as they entered the Layue Gate, the frantic buying and buying began all over the city.People at that time seemed to have endless money to spend, and a lot of bills flowed past the door like running water, and they could pick up a hundred and eighty dollars with just a bend.But now, standing at the door and yelling all day like a free market, you can't get a few taels of silver. Due to the severe drought, the crops are almost completely destroyed, and there are very few farmers who go to the city to shop. Occasionally, one or two hens are picking eggs from their buttocks, and their eyeballs are stretched out. They are trying to lower the price for you, and the bosses are so angry. One is about to vomit blood. People in the city are even more stingy, as if the few money he pretended to be gold or silver, they pick and choose for a long time, say a lot of disgusting words, and finally give you nothing to like. Business is almost hopelessly flat.The wholesale market in the west of the city was crowded as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered a few years ago, but this year, after twenty-three years, there is still no sign of bustling.Farmers look forward to a year of yellow wheat, and businessmen spend a year busy in the twelfth lunar month. Even in the twelfth lunar month, they look so miserable. How can they do business? It is your business whether to do business or not, and it is the public's business whether to check or not.Industry and commerce, taxation, epidemic prevention, all kinds of gods have descended to the mortal world these days, wearing big caps and uniforms, holding documents in one hand and fines in the other, and began to check from house to house.If you find faults in size, we will open a list for you as soon as you close your eyes. The bosses know in their hearts that the inspection is a cover, and the New Year's goods are the purpose.In previous years, these people only need to wait at home or sit in the office, and the New Year's goods will go one by one.This year is too dull, they couldn't wait any longer, and came to the door by themselves, afraid that if they didn't ring the alarm, they wouldn't recognize their door that year.The bosses were on fire in their hearts, and they still had to smile apologetically, and kept saying: "I must, I must, I will never forget it." God is against people too.After twenty-three, the weather turns warmer, which is the rule of God.This year, the gods don't follow the rules. Once they pass twenty-three, they will be frozen to death.The sun is indeed shining, but is it the sun?The bottom of a bottle is so pale that it hangs for half a day. It doesn't matter if you don't have a fever, but you can't pour cold air down.Although it wasn't snowing, ice skates were frozen on the ground, and people on the street let the weather freeze and run away.Can such a day make people have a good year? Che Guanghui, the head contractor, has been extraordinarily busy recently.As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, the market for "bobo wine" suddenly opened up, not only in Heyang City, but also merchants in the provincial capital rushed to grab the goods.The four production lines in the two packaging workshops of Hejiu are running at full capacity, and the supply is still in short supply.Che Guanghui was afraid that the winery would make an old mistake, that the radish would not wash the mud soon, and the brand of the wine would be smashed, so he personally supervised the battle.Later, it was found that a batch of wine tasted wrong, bitter and sour.The workshop director said it was fine, the market was good anyway, no one could taste the slight taste change, and advised him to take it away as soon as possible.Che Guanghui insisted on not pulling it, and insisted on refilling it, and repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to play tricks on quality.This incident alarmed Hu Wankun, and he called the director of the wine storehouse, scolded him badly, poured all the wine into the wine storehouse overnight, and re-blended it. If you take care of this end, you can't take care of the other end.Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, and his New Year's goods have not been delivered to the family, Che Guanghui wished that he had the ability to clone himself. The winery was in a hurry, so Che Guanghui rushed to buy all kinds of new year's goods. Alcohol is definitely not a gift.Once the market opened, it became a treasure.Sending out by yourself is tantamount to grabbing your own market.Not only did he not give it away, but the winery also refused to give it away. Hu Wankun was so angry that he scolded him for not being loyal enough. People followed his ass to ask for wine all day long, so he had to give some away no matter what.Che Guanghui chuckled and said, "I don't mind if you give away the whole winery. Bobo, no way." Hu Wankun had no choice but to buy a batch from him. If you don't send wine, it will be more troublesome to do the New Year's goods.It's too light to handle, but it's too heavy to handle so many people.In the midst of a difficult situation, Chen Peiling, a woman from Zhejiang, came to her door and said that she had a new batch of tea drinks on hand, which was the exclusive agent of Zhejiang Building, and asked him if he wanted it?Che Guanghui thought that Chen Peiling must be using his network to open up the market.I wanted to refuse, but then I thought that Chen Peiling still owed him the project money, so I bought a batch by offsetting the account. The son who followed a major leader in the city found him and said that he had a batch of "soft China" on hand, so he could help with it.As soon as Che Guanghui heard it, he knew it was a fake, but he deliberately didn't expose it, and asked, "What price?" The young master hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about five hundred pieces?" Che Guanghui smiled and didn't answer.The young master blushed and said: "You can't cover it, one hundred, the lowest price." Che Guanghui said: "Okay." The young master was very happy, and said: "Let's sit together tonight, there is a project, let's talk to you. " Che Guanghui thought, the son's father had just returned from attracting investment from other places, and he must have a new project at hand, so he readily agreed. In the evening, he went to Xu Hong's place with the young master.Xu Hong was dressed flirtatiously, holding the young master in one hand, and Che Guanghui in the other, and coquettishly said: "I haven't come for such a long time, I want to die." Said: "I want to come, but my wife is very strict." Xu Hong replied: "Which wife is so strict, the owner of the car has also learned how to hide the beauty in the golden house?" After entering the private room, Xu Hong frantically arranged for the lady to go, and the young master said straight to the point: "The old man has brought in a big project, which is co-authored with the southerners to make medicine. The investment is about 80 million, and the infrastructure is 40 million. Are you interested?" Che Guanghui lit a cigarette for the young master, and asked tentatively, "Are there many people involved?" The young master said: "There is a construction company in the province, and someone has already asked someone to say hello to the old man, but the old man is still thinking about you." Che Guanghui remembered the many things the old man had done for him, and suddenly he became close to the young master, and said from the bottom of his heart: "The old man is a good man, thank him for me first, I will make a special trip to visit another day." The young master suddenly sighed and said, "I'm afraid the old man will not be staying in Heyang for long." "Why, change?" This news surprised Che Guanghui, and he hadn't heard any news about it until now. "The Provincial People's Congress is almost settled." "Oh--" The young lady sent a group in and let the young master send them away.Xu Hong hurriedly chased them in, and asked anxiously, "You don't like your age or your appearance, these are the best ones here." The young master said impatiently: "What are you pretending to do, send some second-class goods to deal with us, and get out of the way." Xu Hong was dumb, and walked out embarrassedly.The young master yelled: "In these years, the chicken mother-in-law has also learned to look down on people." It turned out that the princes of Heyang City were always looking for young ladies at Xu Hong's place.In the past, when the son had guests, Xu Hong always sent him the best lady.Recently, Xu Hong heard some rumors, but instead left the good lady to another son of the leader who is still under the old man for the time being, but who is likely to be in charge of Heyang in the next step.The young master couldn't get angry, so he got angry just now. Che Guanghui knew that for the leaders of Heyang City, it was Lao Tzu fighting against Lao Tzu on the stage, and son fighting against his son off the stage.Only he, who is also a friend with any leader, can sit and drink with all the young masters.Seeing that the young master was angry, he said: "Forget it, it's just Miss, who plays tricks every time, and doesn't ask her to be his wife." The young master said bitterly: "You son of a bitch, don't even think about how she got married!" When Che Guanghui scolded at these words, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, as if the young master was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai.But he asked himself that he is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered the relationship between Xu Hong and the old man, and I was shocked. The lady finally failed to make it.No matter how enthusiastic Xu Hong was, the young master was not satisfied, and deliberately found fault, which made Che Guanghui embarrassed.Later, the young master threatened to smash the karaoke hall, Xu Hong turned his face, put his hips on his hips and said, "Show me, my old lady, Heyang City, I've never seen it before, and I'm afraid you'll be the worst." Seeing that the two of them were going to fight, Che Guanghui was angry and anxious, if something happened, his reputation would be ruined.In the end, he hugged the young master down the stairs, and said angrily, "What kind of hero are you running here to play wild, you are not ashamed of yourself, old man, you are ashamed, come back with me!" In the end, he dragged the young master to the sauna room, and when he got angry, he sent two ladies to the young master to sit outside, feeling sad for no reason.I feel that there are always some places in life that I don’t understand. Different people are troubled by different things. Many people who seem to be vigorous and magnificent are actually so fragile in their bones.He couldn't figure out why he was living like this, was it just to make money endlessly and lose his smile endlessly?Until now, he still doesn't know what real happiness is, power, money, women?It seems to be, and it seems not quite.He couldn't explain clearly, but always felt that there was a kind of regret in life, a kind of regret that couldn't be made up and couldn't be filled. He suddenly thought of Lin Shan.Whenever I am depressed and confused and cannot resolve it, I always think of this living baby.He is poor, but he is happy. No matter when, he has a sense of freedom that transcends everything. After dialing the phone, Che Guanghui heard a mess of voices, and it took a long time for Lin Shan to say: "I'm almost drunk, why did you call me?" Che Guanghui thought to himself that being a reporter is really a good job. You eat, drink, and get money for nothing, so he sarcastically asked, "Where is the corruption?" Lin Shan said that drinking with a group of principals was boring and sour, and asked Che Guanghui if he had any arrangements. Che Guanghui thought for a while and asked, "What arrangement do you want?" Lin Shan said: "Playing mahjong is too tiring, Miss Pao is boring, and I can't sing, but chatting is the most exciting." The two then agreed on a good place and went to chat. After chatting, it was almost midnight, Lin Shan was so drunk that he scolded Che Guanghui.Scolding him for not being up-to-date, at best being a contractor, the most boring thing in the world is you rich people.How about getting rich first?The world belongs to the poor, the happiness belongs to the poor, and the pain also belongs to the poor. What do the rich have? 车光辉想半天，觉得这话太精辟，说到了要命处。 回到家，这感受便越发真实的让他绝望了。 老婆刘素珍气呼呼地坐在沙发上，双眼尽是仇恨。见他进来，劈头问：“又跟哪个婊子鬼混去了？” 车光辉被她噎得半天答不上话。刘素珍的猜疑已到了空前的地步，只要他不回家，就是跟婊子鬼混。这女人，走火入魔了。 他往楼上走，心说我懒得跟你解释。 “你给我站住！”刘素珍断然喝道。 车光辉止住步，心里连连叫苦，今晚又不得安宁了。 “车光辉，你眼里有没有人？我等你等了半夜，你一声不吭就想溜？你好歹毒呀……” “我累了，要睡觉。”车光辉压住心头的火，他不能先发火，他一发火，就中刘素珍计了。她这么等着，不就是为了吵架吗？ 吵架，已成为某些女人的职业。越是生活无忧的女人，越是喜欢吵架，这是车光辉在吵架过程中总结出的。 “你能不累，这个刚抱完，那个又来了，你到底想要多少个？”刘素珍怕的是打不开话头，一打开，她就不是她了。拉出的架势，骂出的话，就好像她是车光辉前世的仇人。 黄丫儿听见吼，从门里探出头，远远冲车光辉扮个鬼脸。自从知道他和姐姐大丫幽会，黄丫儿便没了保姆的拘谨，常常做一些他意想不到的动作，仿佛他们之间已达成某种默契。 “你想找碴是不，有话楼上说！”车光辉扔下话，果断地上了楼。随后便听到一连串摔砸东西的声音。他坚持着不让自己回头，说啥也不能让丫儿看他笑话。 楼下的声响一阵接一阵，他不下楼，刘素珍就不会停止。 这夜，车光辉家遭到毁灭性的破坏。刘素珍就差点一把火，把这个家全烧了。 家里的事再乱，工作不能耽误，这是车光辉多年坚持的原则，就是不让家庭矛盾影响到工作。眼下最重要的，还是送礼这档事。除过银行、税务等几个部门，车光辉把年货重点集中到政协委员上。这跟往年很不一样，往年他心里是没有委员们的，今年不，今年必须把委员们放在前面，而且送礼要大方、实惠。低价弄来的软中华正好派上用场，反正这烟也不是谁都能抽得起的，多数人并不知真假。就算知道，心里也是快活的。这就叫送礼的学问。果然，年货送到一半，河阳城就开始传他的好话了。 车光辉有点得意，看来，谋划已久的事，应该能成真。为那个政协副主席，他可是付出了很多啊。 年终于到了。 接二连三发生的事让老城里人黄风全然没了往日的精神，他浑浊着双眼，除了文老先生眼里那两个巨大的问号，终日别的什么也看不见。成日里忧心忡忡，神色黯然，对什么事也提不起兴趣。 先是叶开死了。 尽管谁都在心底里早就为叶开的死做足了准备，但当死亡真正降临时，还是感到莫大的震惊。 叶开是死在烂鸟二丫怀里的，这种死法让叶黄两家相当尴尬，甚至有种愤怒。 二丫自从那个早晨将气球放到通天柱顶上后，很快成为河阳城的新闻人物。新闻的最初制造者当然是蓝鸟广告公司的田二小姐。据说田二小姐眼睁睁看着气球飞走后，第一反应便是跟雷啸告状。她历数了黄二丫对她的种种不恭，还将气球放跑一事极力作了一番夸大，说河化老总李木楠已扬言拒绝支付广告费，最后的落脚点自然而然归结到开除黄二丫，而且是立即开除，否则她田二小姐立马走人。当时雷啸偏巧不在河阳，他在省城谈一项非常重要的合同，头一个反应便是黄二丫这事做得委实过分，她在毁蓝鸟广告公司的声誉，便毫不犹豫地答应田二小姐。当天中午，田二小姐便将白纸黑字的开除决定贴公司门口，她用的是“开除”，而不是惯常用的辞退。雷啸回到河阳，气球早已找不到，唯有条幅高高飘扬在河阳城的上空，把天空染成了一片红色。雷啸突发奇想，这是广告中的神来之笔啊。 第二天他去谈广告业务，一进门人家便问，你就是把气球升上天的那位？雷啸冷眉，不知作何回答。岂料对方爽快地掏出合同，签！就冲你这惊人之笔，签！ 一连几天都是如此，甚至几家从没打过交道的公司也主动打来电话，要把开张店庆的宣传交给他做。雷啸这才反应过来，自己上了田二的当，不该开除黄二丫。后悔已晚，田二小姐已将风声放遍河阳城，黄二丫的名字如同高高飘扬在通天柱顶上的红色条幅，令河阳城仰慕。 “太神了，这女人太神了，能把气球放到通天柱上，了得！” 广场里那些摆卦摊的，卖老鼠药的，拉板胡唱贤孝的，甚至丁万寿、邸玉兰这些名人全都发出类似的感叹。黄二丫一下成了人物，令人浮想联翩，激动不已…… 雷啸负荆请罪，来到贫民窟，叩响黄风老人的家门。二丫正在看书，雷啸奇怪二丫居然在看书，要在以前，这是打死也不敢相信的事。 “你来做甚？”二丫微微扬起头，面带粉色，样子楚楚动人。 “我……我来请你上班。”雷啸鼓起劲儿说。 二丫眉毛一抖：“上班？” 雷啸马上认出一堆错，把自己检讨了一番，而后，眼巴巴瞅二丫。二丫听过瘾了，这才放下书，缓缓将跷起的腿放下。她放得很慢，两条修长的腿在阳光里划出一道波浪，雷啸的目光在那波浪上一起一伏，心也跟着跳动。他一定记起了什么，一定是过去的某个日子或日子里的片段。记忆就这样被打开，瞬间，淌出许多的温馨来。 二丫笑笑，她料定有这一幕，说话间又把腿抬起来，更慢，就这样漫不经心地将院子划得哗哗响。雷啸的目光不只是跳动了，简直就像麦田里的鸟儿，扑扑腾腾，目光落稳时，心已让二丫搅成一片。 二丫居然没答应雷啸，说好几家公司请她，她想找家没女人骚扰的公司。 雷啸完全听懂了二丫的意思，回到公司，果断地开除了田二小姐。惊得田二小姐连眼泪都流不出，横着眼睛倒着眉，干着嗓子吼：“你……你想赶尽杀绝呀！”这一刻田二小姐一定想起了同胞姐姐，也终于意识到替姐姐夺回公司的梦想彻底破灭。 两天后，雷啸再次走进贫民窟，二丫正在梳妆，饶有兴致地摆弄着头发，看到二丫的发型，雷啸哦了一声，那是多么熟悉多么让他迷恋的发型呀。曾几何时，他就被这发型所迷，进而爱上了这个谜一般的女人。他轻轻走过去，拿起桌上的发卡，像电影里的慢镜头一样缓缓别在她的脑后。 这一幕以一种蒙太奇的手法，刻骨铭心地印在了老城里人黄风脑子里。黄风的印象里，这一天的天空格外晴朗，阳光有一种春天的味道，令他开心，令他落泪。他非常幸福地闭上眼睛，回味着跟妻子恩爱时的情景。 将雷啸折腾得差不多，二丫见好就收，装作勉强地应了他。坐上田二小姐位子的一瞬，二丫心头所有的愁容都化开了，她冲正往里走的雷啸说：“干吗打深蓝色领带，不好看，来，换上这条。”然后在众目睽睽下给雷啸换上一条真丝绣花领带，雷啸看上去精神了许多。 如果不是大丫再次找上门来，她是不会去医院看叶开的，或许叶开还能侥幸活过大年三十。可偏巧大丫这天发烧，烧得一塌糊涂，进门便倒在床上，昏昏沉沉冲二丫说：“你去一趟医院吧，就算我求你。”二丫盯着大丫看了半天，终于明白求她的是自己姐姐。她冲大丫微笑着点点头，便对着镜子细心打扮起来。如今打扮已是二丫出门前必做的功课，连一向对出门打扮深恶痛绝的老城里人黄风也宽恕了二丫这个坏毛病。他躺在门外，对二丫说：“去了嘴乖点，该叫姐夫叫姐夫，他可是只剩一口气的人了，经不住你气。” 事情或许就坏在黄风这句话上，只剩一口气是个啥概念？大年三十如此咒人，能不出事？ 二丫迈着轻快的步子走了，大丫心里惦着黄风刚才说的话，忍不住挣起身子问：“爸，你说他……能活过这个年吗？” 黄风两眼浑浊地瞅瞅天，半晌自言自语道：“他是属羊的，过了今儿就是他的本年，本年呀……” 大丫并没完全听懂父亲的话，懵懵怔怔中预感到自己害怕的一天就要到了，她流出两行冰凉的泪，迷迷糊糊进了梦乡。 二丫走进医院，许是大年三十的缘故，医院格外冷清，两个护士在楼道里迎住她问：“你是哪床的？”二丫非常霉气地啐了一口，说：“我是来看14床的。”两个护士叽叽喳喳走了过去。二丫从后面发现左边一个腿有点罗圈，右边一个屁股太瘦，再怎么发育也不会长成美人坯子。遂自信地昂首挺胸，在楼道里踩出一串清脆的脚步声。 叶开大睁着双眼，他的耳朵分明听到一种呼唤，一种来自遥远世界热切的呼唤。门一开他就认出是二丫，只有二丫才能敲打出那样动听的脚步。他挣扎着想从床上坐起，想让二丫看到一个健康的自己，但他的努力被虚弱的身子抵挡住了，只好强撑出一个惊喜而热烈的表情。他认为撑得不错，谁知这表情一下粉碎了他在二丫心中的形象。二丫直觉看到了一个鬼，一个奇丑无比狰狞可怕的厉鬼。她几乎要倒退出去，又见叶开软软地招手，示意她坐到床边来。二丫怯怯地挪着步子，她需要给自己不停地打气，不停地镇静，还好，她挺住了。 坐到床边，二丫调动所有想象，居然无法将这个皮包骨头眼若枯井的男人跟当年那个拿走她贞操的叶开联系起来，她怀疑自己是不是进错了病房，等看清床头上醒目的“14”时，明白是自己的记忆出了问题。这个男人或许原本就这样狰狞。她一下感谢起姐姐黄大丫来，是她用一生为自己挡住了一场灾难。她甚至感谢父亲在那个下午能及时赶到，把一场即将蔓延的灾难扼死了。她同情而又充满悲悯地望他一眼，发现他两口枯井似的眼眶在动。那里面还会有温情吗？她惊吓地在心里问。 叶开颤颤地握住她的手，他的手如同老公鸡干裂的爪子，她的手背立刻发出尖利的痛。她想躲开，却被这个可怜的人软了心。她任他握着，任他干柴棍一样划着自己细嫩温软的玉手。他分明是想说什么，但被她的无动于衷止住了。 她就这样干坐着，想不出一句合适的话表达此时的心情，后来她想起父亲的话，心里试探了几次，都没法叫出口。她想算了，何苦要在一个死人面前装斯文呢？叫不叫都一样，反正他是黄大丫的男人，很多年前的那档子事权当一场噩梦，今儿起彻底忘掉便是。 他像是不甘心。大约医院死一般的寂静让他怕了，非要弄出一点声音，嘴唇再次动了动，使着全身的劲终于说出一句话来。说得很轻，梦呓般，二丫听清了，真的听清了。 她的心猛就抖起来。 他说：“丫，你还……恨我吗？” 就这句话，一下打翻了二丫的心，把她猛地拽回到很多年前的那个下午，拽回到花一般的少女时光。瞬间，房间的空气发生了变化，充满了花的味道。透过这张脸，恍恍惚惚中二丫又看见那个才气横溢、自负狂妄的叶开。 那是一个多么生动多么能迷惑人的男人呀。 她怎能轻而易举忘掉！ 病房里顿时迷离，来苏水的味道都变得亲切可人。到最后，二丫竟辨不清是病房还是自己那间卧房了，反正味儿像，气氛也像。她不由自主地握住他的手，刚才还干枯如柴的鸡爪忽然就丰实起来，富有肉感，涌动着热量。很多年前的那股热猛地回到了身上，想象中她踮起脚，环着胳膊，将嘴唇连同身子一道递过去。 二丫俯下身子，她奇怪自己怎么就俯下了身子。她几乎贴着他的耳朵说：“你……害了我一生哪。天！你知道吗？” 叶开黑枯枯的眼里立刻涌出两汪清澈透明的湖水，黑眼珠在湖水里不停地打转，慢慢，便淹没到一片汪洋里了。他挣扎着，艰难地抽动喉头，说：“……丫，原谅我吧，我就要死了，没法赎罪了，只求……只求我死后，你不再恨我……” 她再也忍不住了，眼泪像决了堤的洪水，疯泄下来。她俯向他，整个俯向他，扯心撕肺地说：“原谅我，开……我来迟了……我不让你死，不让……” 叶开细若麻秆的胳膊伸过来，轻轻揽住她：“丫，好好活着，活着是多么好啊……” 二丫猛地抱住他，声音嘶哑地喊：“开……你不能走，不能走呀！” 叶开望着她，微笑道：“……丫，谢谢了……我……知足了。” “不——不！”二丫仿佛仿佛已经触摸到死亡，她拼尽全身的力气，想把他从死神怀中抢夺回来。见叶开微笑着闭上了眼，二丫疯了般地摇晃着他：“你这个欠债鬼，你得还完了再走啊！” 叶开奇迹般地睁开眼，面色如春。二丫忙忙抹把泪，转悲为喜道：“你没死呀，你可是吓死我了。” 叶开孩子般笑了笑，安详的脸上露出一丝羞涩，半天，像是很为难地道：“丫，我能唤你一声妈吗？” 二丫猛地将他拥进怀，将他的头牢牢搂在自己的乳房上，摩挲着他的脸说：“傻孩子，只要你答应不死，唤啥都行……你唤，唤……” “妈哎——” 仿佛从地层深处发出一声唤，牢牢地攫住了二丫的心。她泪如泉涌，身上的每个细胞都在悲恸。她早已忘了羞怯，忘了恨怨，柔柔地应：“开哎，我的娃，我的小亲亲，我一辈子的冤家……” 这一刻，他是多么的不想死呀，真想永远躺她怀里，但是他分明听到死神的脚步，由远而近，由弱渐强，他害怕，他哆嗦，他无力地呻吟道：“我不行了，抱紧我……” “开，你行，你行呀——你想要什么，我给你，我都给你——开，你挺住啊——” 二丫疯了，从没见过死亡的二丫一定是疯了！她不知道拿啥才能挽留住他，二丫忍不住再次哭出声来，哭的凄切，哭的伤情，哭的无奈，哭的悲绝！ 悲恸至极的哭声中，叶开沉沉地合上眼，软软地倒在二丫怀里。 叶开死了！ 而此时，黄大丫正幸福地闭着眼睛，沉浸在美梦带来的巨大快慰中。她梦见包工头子车光辉将她带到一片开满油菜花的草原上，满世界金黄的油菜花簇拥着她，她像一只蝴蝶，飞啊飞啊，总也飞不出这一片金黄。后来她累倒在一个男人怀里，那男人时而温柔如水，时而热情似火，撩拨得她通体难受，美妙无比。后来她同男人一块倒下去，倒在一大片金黄里，油菜花碎裂的声音中，男人给了她无比舒畅无比雄猛的一次。金黄色的光芒中，她看不清男人到底是谁，像叶开又像车光辉，她多么想两个同时拥有呀。 醒来后她便听到二丫的哭声。 三儿被抓了。 黄二丫还没从叶开死亡的阴影中挣扎出来，又听到三儿被抓的消息。 红红进来时，她还没起床，这些日子赖床成了她抵挡痛苦的唯一方法。红红见她面色苍白，像是害了一场大病，忙问怎么了？她披头散发，揉着红肿的眼睛说：“大丫那破鸟男人死了。”红红显然没听到这消息，惊了一声，恨说：“该死的不死，不该死的偏偏又死。”遂陪着二丫叹息。二丫见红红比金昌时瘦了一圈，眼圈青肿，脸更是憔悴，问她怎么成了这样？红红本已打消告诉二丫的念头，二丫一问，她又忍不住说：“我家三儿被抓了。” “抓了？”二丫一骨碌翻起身，“他做了啥事？” 红红极难为情地望住二丫，咬着嘴唇说：“他造假。” “造假？”三儿居然能造假？二丫一脸的不相信，重复说：“就三儿，也能造假？” 红红这才把实情告诉二丫。 三儿真的造了假，而且造的是“波宝酒”。 三儿是腊月初跟两个外乡人扯上瓜葛的。当时三儿做生意赔了一大笔，赔得这辈子也翻不起身来了。他心灰意冷，绝望得活不下去，路过农贸市场时买了几包老鼠药，又买了一瓶烈性农药，打算美美吃一顿腊肉后就着茯茶喝下去，从此离开这个烦人的世界。后来发现身上还装着八十块钱，就想最后潇洒一次，花完钱再走。他进不起歌厅，便去了“追忆似水年华”舞厅，一进门便被一个浓妆艳抹的女人缠住。跳舞时三儿脑子里闪出二丫，想起二丫第一次引领他做男人的情景，忍不住伏在那女人身上痛哭起来。他想他再也见不到好女人二丫了，往事便哗啦啦从脑子里倒出来。他记不清跟几个女人跳了舞，每次手放到陌生的乳房上，脑子里闪出的都是二丫那一对精美绝伦、柔嫩无比的奶子。有个女人甚至厚颜无耻地缠向他示好，三儿恶心地推开她。心说，你要是能跟上二丫一个脚指头，老子这辈子给你当牛做马都成！遂气恨恨离开舞厅。 三儿不想死在家里，怕这样会吓着母亲。活着没能孝顺上，死了也别再麻缠老人。更不想死在河阳城，这破城活着让他伤心，死了更会让他难受。他想找个空气新鲜，人烟稀少，清静僻背的地方死。这一走就走到离河阳城六公里外的双河乡二道村。村外河滩上有幢破房子，周围一片干枯的杂草，这地方不错，面朝河滩背靠田野，死后定能顺顺当当上天堂享福。他躺在背风处抽了一锅子烟，心里再次从头到尾想了一遍二丫，一辈子遇上这么一个好女人，也该知足了。于是他微笑着打开农药瓶，撕开老鼠药，吞咽幸福一样吞咽下去，然后舒舒服服躺开，无怨无憾地闭上眼睛，等着农药发作，
