Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

Dayong walked quickly and trotted into the gate of the Far East Hotel.Before he could wipe the moisture off his forehead and calm down his shortness of breath, he asked Yue Pengcheng to be in the reception room No. 3, and went straight to the second floor at his original speed.Like all the cadres of the Far East Industrial Company, Dayong immediately left his fiancée Xiao Linzi and Aunt Xu Xiazi who were making noise after receiving Yue Pengcheng's summoning order, and left behind the master who specially invited to inspect the house foundation, and rushed to Yue Pengcheng as quickly as possible. The office hotel is here.

There are other reasons for Dayong's quickness today: because of what happened to Shuzhen that day, Yue Pengcheng has not been home for two days, and he has not seen his brother-in-law and confidant general for two days, and he is feeling uneasy. As a hotel in the vast Far East region, "Far East Hotel" can be included in the level, or what level should be included, we dare not speculate.But in Pengcheng County, in several areas adjacent to Pengcheng County, "Far East Hotel" should undoubtedly be among the best in terms of appearance design, interior decoration, and various other services and entertainment facilities.This is Yue Pengcheng's proud work.The seaside of Pengcheng is rich in products and beautiful scenery, and there are many tourists coming and going.Especially in summer and autumn in recent years, it is quite crowded.In the county, apart from a small courtyard and a few high-end rooms in the government guest house, there is not even a decent hotel.Yue Pengcheng saw the situation inside, invested 4 million at a time, and built this hotel as quickly as possible, which even guests from Beijing and Shanghai could not help but give a thumbs up to.This hotel is truly extraordinary.From the outside, the main part, milky yellow walls and aluminum alloy doors and windows, as well as the prismatic and bottle-shaped flower beds in the hall and corridor, form an almost fashionable modern atmosphere.On the upper part of the main body, there are several antique pavilions and pavilions.Leaning on the railing, you can have a panoramic view of the big mulberry garden, a blue bay with fishing sails and fine sandy beaches.This modern and stylish main part and the antique additional part make this building have a very contrasting but relatively harmonious style.The same goes for the interior of the hotel.The patio-style hall is an elegant world.Facing a rockery as high as the second floor.On the top of the rockery, between the verdant big-leaf plantains and the vigorous evergreen sisal, a silvery waterfall pours out; the waterfall flows through several steps, with the smooth and soothing melody played by piano and violin, flowing into the garden. In a clear pool.In the pool is a group of colorful fish.On one side of the fish pond are green spaces, bonsai and dance halls.On the other side, there are various restaurants and banquet halls with red lacquered nanmu walls.The ancient Chinese myths and legends are exquisitely carved on the red lacquered nanmu.A professor of psychology who tasted tea at Yue Pengcheng's home and had a long talk with him asserted that the layout of this hotel, like the furnishings in Yue Pengcheng's home, reflected the unique "psychological construction" of Yue Pengcheng. .

Regardless of his "psychological construction"!What Yue Pengcheng wanted was a profit target of 500,000 yuan a year, and what he wanted was an admirable and jaw-dropping style.Since the hotel was built, he has often held meetings here, met with guests, made various decisions, and issued various instructions and orders. When Dayong entered the reception room No. 3, Yue Pengcheng was squatting on the big sofa in the middle, listening to Qi Xiuliang's report on work. The shoes were on the carpet, and only a pair of nylon stockings were on.On the front or back of the socks, several small holes seem to be deliberately exposed, so that the toes, which are unbearably stuffy, can have a chance to breathe.This was Yue Pengcheng's usual attitude in front of his subordinates and acquaintances, but never in front of his superiors and guests.

Qi Xiuliang reported on the negotiations on Crescent Island.Crescent Island is more than ten miles northwest of Yantai, with an area of ​​only four to five square kilometers. It is connected to the land by a narrow sandy soil line.More than ten years ago, when Crescent Island was under the jurisdiction of the army, there was a period of prosperity.Since the withdrawal of the troops, it has become increasingly cold.Now the island is almost deserted, and there is only one electronic tube factory with no more than a hundred people alive.Two months ago, when the newly appointed Director of Electronics announced the public bidding, Yue Pengcheng immediately made the decision to bid.

"...I have been in contact with it a few times, and it has always been so lukewarm. I guess it is trying to force us to increase the contracting base." Qi Xiuliang reported. Yue Pengcheng seemed to listen casually, and said: "That's not the main thing. The main thing is to get the right to develop and operate." Qi Xiuliang said without hesitation: "It's just a small factory on such a deserted island, if their asking price is too high..." "You don't have to worry about that..." The phone on the coffee table in front of him rang loudly: Yue Pengcheng picked it up and said something, then put it down again.Wherever he goes, there is the center, and the phone carries all kinds of situations, requests, and instructions from up, down, left, and right to the center.But no matter where the call comes from, it can only be connected with Yue Pengcheng's consent.

There are several people in the room, either sitting upright, or standing aside.Dayong didn't dare to make mistakes, nodded to Yue Pengcheng, said "The secretary is looking for me", found a seat and sat down carefully, only half of his buttocks and half of the sofa, as if he was afraid of dirtying the white sofa cover like. The sofa covers of the "Far East Hotel" are all white, with the pattern of the Octagonal Pavilion in the Riverside Park woven in blue, and the first capital letter of the Chinese pinyin of the word "Far East" is added.The clean and white sofa is matched with the clean and white tea table, walls and zenith, making the tone in the reception room look very simple, harmonious and serene.In addition to a telephone, there is only a spacious decorative cabinet on the wall next to the corridor.The inside of the cabinet is framed with willow wood planks in several patterned layers, on which are several exquisite coral flower and shell carving works.

The reception room is large and grand.Handling work here has indeed invisibly added a sense of majesty and majesty to Yue Pengcheng. After answering the phone, Yue Pengcheng turned his attention to the two cadres standing aside—the deputy general manager in charge of energy transportation and the station manager of the gas station: "Have you two thought it through yet?" The deputy general manager said: "Think it over. My main mistake was being emotional and not handling the relationship with Station Master Sun properly." The station master said: "My mistake was mainly due to insufficient requests for instructions and reports."

"I think you two don't shed tears when you see a dead body, and you don't give up until you reach the Yellow River!" Yue Pengcheng pointed to the accountant in charge who rushed over bravely: "Report the two prices of gasoline to them." "The cheap oil is about 900 yuan per ton, and the high-priced oil is about 1,500 yuan per ton." "Are you selling at a fair price or at a high price?" "Based on par," replied the gas station manager. "Why the price at par?" "Because it was promised to them." "Why promise them?"

"Where are you?" "The supervision station often deals with our team, I'm thinking..." "Should I give eight tons at once for dealing with it?" "Stationmaster Sun said 20 tons, I just..." "He sold twenty tons and you sold eight tons, right? You should sell twenty-eight tons, right?" "I didn't say that." The deputy general manager muttered, his tone a little blunt. Enraged, Yue Pengcheng jumped off the sofa and put on his leather shoes. "You didn't say that, you just thought and did that!" The vice president, Wu Li, was timid, and still muttered: "I didn't think about it, and I didn't do it..."

Yue Pengcheng's face was livid, and he picked up the phone without even thinking about it. "Pick up the gas station. Gas station? I'm Yue Pengcheng. Just remember: from now on, the work of the gas station is in charge of the deputy station manager Jia Hongsheng. The station manager is suspended for self-reflection, and the deputy general manager is in charge of the leadership of the gas station and the car team. Termination—you must notify the car team of this item. From now on, the head of the gas station has the right to approve a barrel of oil, and if more than one barrel must be approved by me. Make sure! It’s me, Yue Pengcheng! There are three items in total, have you written them down? Repeat Once again!"

The other party repeated, Yue Pengcheng corrected a few things, and put down the phone. The house was as quiet as a cemetery. "Damn it!" Yue Pengcheng walked back and forth on the carpet with his hands behind his back, waving them crossed from time to time. "We spent a lot of effort to get back so much oil, and the related households can't take care of it. You open your mouth to 20 tons, 8 tons, at a par price, and even send a car to deliver it! What kind of business are you doing? Do it for the big mulberry garden. What good things come? The banknotes at home, the TV, the refrigerator, are you afraid of breaking the door? If you don’t delegate power, you say you don’t have power; Don’t tell me one, two, three once, hehe!” Yue Pengcheng seemed to feel that the words were boring, so he sat back on the sofa, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you two can go." The suspended gas station manager and the dismissed deputy general manager looked sad, but stopped moving. "Pengcheng, reflect on what I did, for the sake of your third aunt..." "Uncle Pengcheng..." Both of them were related to Yue Pengcheng, so they had no choice but to beg for spirits here. Yue Pengcheng sneered and said, "You don't need to use this trick! I don't owe you any debts!" The former deputy general manager in charge and the head of the gas station retreated sadly like two mice that had been taken away from their nest. There was a chilling atmosphere in the room.Dayong felt a surge of cold air rising from the spine. But Yue Pengcheng immediately turned to Qi Xiuliang and said, "I think that's what happened just now, so why don't you send him a soldier to go to Qishan (Qi) Mountain and go to the island!" "When?" "Go quickly. You go to adjust the car, and I will be there later." Qi Xiuliang stood up in response, and then disappeared with several others. Only Yue Pengcheng and Dayong were left in the reception room. "Dayong, come, sit here." For a moment, Yue Pengcheng's face was full of generosity.Peaceful smile. Dayong sat down on the seat next to the big sofa in the middle.Yue Pengcheng ordered the waiter who poured water to bring a bag of melon seeds, a plate of apples and oranges. "Eat!" He gestured to Dayong, grabbed an apple, and took a big bite without peeling the skin.This is also in one's own home, in front of one's own people, outside and in front of guests, so naturally it is another situation. Dayong only grabbed a few melon seeds and nibbled carefully. "Has Director Lu of the Taxation Bureau taken away the cement?" "Yeah." Dayong blinked his eyelids.Qi Xiuliang said this morning that the two tons of cement were sent by Yue Pengcheng yesterday. "There will be another tax inspection recently, are you ready?" The tax inspection was revealed when Deputy Director Lu came last time.This kind of thing happens several times every year, it's just a formality. There is of course a reason for this.A few years ago, relevant municipal departments sent an inspection team to inspect the Damulberry Garden.Checked for two days and found many loopholes.When he came back on the third day, Yue Pengcheng said: "All my accountants are unqualified, so let me send them all away!" The inspection team couldn't find the accountants and accounts, so they had to go back and report.The result of the report was nothing—Yue Pengcheng's backstage was tough, and if he made trouble, he would be found out on his own head. Now, who else is willing to do something that is not beneficial and unfavorable to him? "The common people are afraid of the second devil, and the second devil is afraid of Yue Pengcheng." The person who made up the rhetoric actually didn't really understand Yue Pengcheng.How could Yue Pengcheng be just scary?For example, the two tons of cement, such as the twenty barrels of gas per month, for example... In short, tax inspection is not something worthy of Yue Pengcheng's special attention. "How are you preparing for building the house?" Yue Pengcheng became more and more friendly, "I told Yang Dapao the other day, if you need materials, just go to him and get them. You can go there when you have time." Dayong was flattered.Regarding building a house, he never dared to expect to be consulted by this brother-in-law.Moving him to the village and entrusting him with important responsibilities, this Si De is enough for him to repay him for a lifetime, not to mention that my brother-in-law is indeed busy with many affairs and busy.What's more, the brother-in-law and sister are in such a special relationship right now. But he soon realized that all the good intentions of brother-in-law revolved around one goal, around his sister. Tell my brother-in-law about my sister's situation yesterday?But my brother-in-law didn't ask about this kind of thing, so how could he open his mouth? "Did you see Yinping today?" It was Yue Pengcheng who spoke. "See you." Dayong didn't wait to ask again, and said, "Yinping is fine, and I still want to take the college entrance examination class. My sister is sick and lying at home." "I've been busy for the past few days, and I have to go to 101 tonight—are you really sick?" "It's just a headache and palpitation. My mother will be fine at home." "Didn't his father, Yinping, say anything?" "No. Uncle Wu of Majiazhuang invited them to go there for a day yesterday. This morning, the county party committee sent a car to pick them up again." "Oh..." A trace of bitter relief flashed across Yue Pengcheng's heart.The day before yesterday and Shuzhen had a quarrel, in order to avoid further troubles, he never dared to enter the house again.But he couldn't get rid of the entanglement of that matter for a moment.What if Shuzhen messed up the matter?What should Shuzhen do if she wants to get a divorce?What will happen if Shuzhen tells the old man? If things go to the towns and counties again... As a person who has been educated in the "big school" of the People's Liberation Army, as a person who has been in the grassroots officialdom for several years, Yue Pengcheng knows the seriousness of this matter better than anyone else .scandal!Huge scandal!A huge scandal that can kill people!How could he forget that a talented military academy student who was praised by He Long, Chen Yi and other heroes, and the training director of the military region, was demoted again and again because of "style issues", and was finally removed from the position of deputy head of Yue Pengcheng's regiment , died of depression.Also in Pengcheng, Beigou Yujia used to be the secretary of the branch, a "general star" who rose at the same time as Yue Pengcheng, and the village was not much different from the big mulberry garden.Two years ago, because of this kind of problem, I almost went to jail.Shuzhen's madness that day confirmed his initial estimate of the seriousness of the problem.But the old man is at home again!But he is another orthodox person who is almost rigid!Once Shuzhen and the old man join forces... Every time he thinks of this, Yue Pengcheng will wake up from his sleep, toss and turn on Simmons, or stand on the balcony, facing the starry sky and sea breeze, feeling melancholy, annoyed, and regretful. Women are a wonderful thing!But sticking together with a woman is really hard to tell whether it is good or bad!Alas! ...There must be a way!The solutions are so limited: only rely on Dayong and the mother-in-law who respects me very much now. Dayong's answer reassured Yue Pengcheng. "The old man may cause some trouble when he comes back this time. You should be more careful." Yue Pengcheng said.That day when the old man asked about Mrs. Xiao Yun's situation, the reason why he was perfunctory was just to avoid confrontation.As for the relationship between the old man and Mrs. Xiao Yun, once the old man knew what the situation of Mrs. Xiao Yun's current situation would cause, he couldn't be more clear.The strange thing is that the old man still seems to be kept in the dark.Was it because Shuzhen fell ill, or was there no question at all?Or is it because of other reasons? "The old man hasn't come back for many years, you tell Jianzhong and Hu Qiang to buy some fresh seafood and let him taste it." He explained again.He has always been in awe of the old man's past, but now the old man is not comparable to the past, but because of this, he seems to be more willing to do his best as a son and daughter. Dayong nodded in agreement.Yue Pengcheng pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Actually, your sister was suspicious that day, and it was not without reason. I also had some indiscretions." Dayong seemed to be scorched by fire, and raised his eyes in surprise.Wherever he looked, there was a frank and regretful face. "Could it be..." How is this possible... "Qiu Ling is going to get married and wants to move He Zilei's household registration. He asked me for help. I thought that she would ask us, so no matter if it's bad, I asked the office to make a report..." He looked at Dayong attentively.Dayong didn't seem to understand much. "Hey! I don't care what to do with this kind of thing!" Yue Pengcheng patted hard on the armrest of the sofa, and wanted to jump up but didn't jump up. , and complained about me in front of Jianzhong. What am I doing? Things are not going well outside, and my own family is not happy! Damn it!On that day, I simply ignored it, or just said a few words on the street, and there were no such things! " Dayong finally understood what Yue Pengcheng was going to say, and finally understood the cause of the turmoil that day.He didn't know what attitude to express.Let me say a few words along the way?It doesn't seem to be going well.A few words of comfort or sympathy?It also seemed difficult to open his mouth. Yue Pengcheng obviously didn't expect Dayong to express anything, so he wiped his hands and stood up, saying, "That's it. For a while, I have to negotiate with Yueya Island. For family matters, you should spend more time with Yinping and her grandma. Your sister's Don't delay due to illness, if you need to go to Beijing or Shanghai, we will also go. If there is anything, please let me know in time." "Okay, big brother, with me and my mother, you just..." Yue Pengcheng waved his hand, Dayong stopped immediately, got up and went out the door. "For the tax inspection, prepare well." "understood." "Don't forget Yang Dapao's place, take the time to go there." When Dayong went out, Yue Pengcheng gave another sentence from behind. When Dayong returned home with a sense of mission, Aunt Xu Xiazi was still yelling at Xiao Linzi. Because of Dayong building a house, the family has not been peaceful for a while.In order to get married and a daughter-in-law, the old house was torn down and redesigned according to the fashionable style of the day to make it look good. Aunt Xu Xiazi didn't object.It is nothing more than insisting that the house where I live should be paved with a kang, so that I can sleep on the hot kang in winter; I insist that there must be a brick stove in the kitchen, so that I can put a pancake and pour a pancake to try something new; A few chicken coops and free nests, leaving a small garden so that she can make a living when she is free.Da Yong agreed to these conditions happily.The problem lies in the position or direction of the wing.Dayong wanted to tear down the two east wing rooms, which already stretched Aunt Xu Xiazi's face two feet long.Dayong thought that the east wing was backed by the sun and the light was dark, so he wanted to move it to the west, and Aunt Xu Xiazi was the ghost on the beam sticking out her tongue—death response. Aunt Xu Xiazi's reason was simple but complicated: there were insects in the east wing, and if it was moved to the west, the house would be ruined. Shuzhen had heard the story of the worm so many times when she was wearing two little goat horns.This time when the demolition of the east wing was mentioned, Aunt Xu Xiazi went on and on and on. "That was when your father was here. I was younger than the little girl of the Li family in the East Court who didn't go to school. At that time, our family was poor, not as poor as Xi'er, and her father could buy two red-headed ropes for the Chinese New Year. .Your grandfather has no land of his own, but rented ten acres from Xu Yimazi's house. After the wheat was threshed that year and sent to Xu's family, there was only a small pile of straw left on the field. Your grandfather took a bag and went to think about it. I carried it back. Unexpectedly, I didn’t see any shortages in a bag full. I went back and filled it, but I still didn’t see any shortages. Your father knew it in his heart: Sheng Chong must have been recruited. You didn’t see Sheng Chong, listen. It is said to be like a small long worm. It grows from a tusk, and it is golden and golden. It has a crown that is bigger than a rooster and looks better. Whoever gets the worm will send it out! Others say it is God of Fortune, God of Wealth, descended to earth. Let’s talk about it, it’s Little Dragon Master Li Long who sent out to help good people. Your master just kept his head shut and closed his mouth, just filled a sack and brought it back, and poured it into the tank in the East Wing. , and went to carry it again. The tank was full and the hoards were surrounded, and if the circle was not enough, another circle was made. After carrying it for a long time, the hoards were about to hit the top, and there was still no shortage of wheat on the field. It was getting dark, and your grandfather came home again with a bag on his shoulders. He happened to meet Qiaomei’s uncle, your sixty-one uncle. Your sixty-one uncle called your grandfather by his name and said, “It’s been so little Maizi, after carrying it for a long time, it's not over yet, did you meet Sheng Chong? "Only this sentence is bad! This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable! Your grandfather will go back, and the small pile of wheat will be gone as soon as he pretends. Your sixty-one uncle has only been dead for a few years, and this is still a fake Come on? The wheat on the field is gone, and Sheng Chong has entered our east wing. How much wheat your grandfather sold and how much pastry your family ate that year, there is no shortage of wheat! Your grandfather and your mother-in-law are in the main house There is a special seat for Master Sheng Chong, who burns incense and bows every day. Afraid of being rushed again, the door of the east wing is always locked, and only your mother-in-law holds the key. There is a bell on the wall outside the door Damn, every time your mother-in-law enters the house to dig wheat, she will ring the bell a few times and say, "Master Sheng Chong, you should stay away, I have to go in." After knocking and talking, you can unlock and open the door. "It was only in that year that our family turned around. How about I still live to be an adult? Can I still have your siblings? When your grandfather and mother-in-law died, they all told me by the ears, we You can move anywhere in this yard, even if you die in the east wing, you can't move it. It's easy to talk about how you are brave, but don't play that if you move the east wing! Dayong was not interested in the old sesame seeds and rotten millet that Aunt Xu Xiazi said.Although I was a little apprehensive about her last few words, I didn't take it to heart.Today, when his fiancée Kobayashi was off work, the two of them led their master to formally investigate the matter of remodeling the wing room.Seeing that Aunt Xu Xiazi quit, she had already yelled a while ago, and she became more energetic when she saw Dayong come back. "You little thing, are you saying that this wing room is really moving?" "Mom, stop shouting! I have something to say to you!" Dayong grabbed Aunt Xu Xiazi's arm and pulled it towards the room. Aunt Xu Xiazi shook it off: "If you don't change the regulations, you're still a fool!" "It's my sister's business!" "Ah?" Aunt Xu Xiazi was taken aback, clapped her hands, twisted her half-grown feet, followed Dayong into the room. "What's the matter with your sister? Huh?" Dayong's heart moved, and he pretended to be depressed: "I heard that my elder brother is going to divorce my sister. "What?" Aunt Xu Xiazi's eyes almost popped out, "Which nonsense are you listening to? "Who dares to talk about this? It's not that my eldest brother was angry. It was Qiuling who begged my eldest brother to change his household registration that day, and my uncle Jianzhong was there to see the gardening field. What's the matter? , Just say that my elder brother is not good and that is not good. Why can't my elder brother divorce her?" Aunt Xu Xiazi twitched the corners of her mouth when she was told, and after a while, she asked, "Are you telling the truth?" "I specifically asked my Uncle Jianzhong—oh, mom, don't you care? You don't care, just wait for my sister to get a divorce!" Dayong shook his hand and wanted to leave, but Xu Xia Zimei grabbed him, gouged out his forehead and said, "You heartless little thing! When did I say that I don't care about it? You go to your Uncle Jianzhong and ask him to persuade you Big brother. How did your sister feel bad about him? When he returned from demobilization, he was as poor as a little shit, and your sister..." "Mom, let me ask if you are going to persuade my sister?" "Go, how can I say no to it?" Aunt Xu Xiazi relied on Shuzhen for the rest of her life, so she naturally had no reason to ignore Shuzhen's affairs. But now, how could Shuzhen be able to leave that "Son-in-Law"! While Aunt Xu Xiazi and Dayong were talking in the room, Xiao Linzi and the invited master were gesturing and planning the relocation in the wing room.Aunt Xu Xiazi saw it through the window, and ran to the courtyard again in a hurry. "Yeah! Are you still dawdling in my east wing? You," she pointed at the master, "you don't have to go! Why are you so involved in other people's affairs?" Seeing her rushing towards the guests, Xiao Linzi quickly said, "Auntie, you have something to tell me and Dayong, you shouldn't tell my master..." "I don't care if he's master or not! Even you are included, let me go! Dayong, come here! See how well your daughter-in-law is doing! I'll train my old lady before I pass the door. Aunt Xu Xiazi grabbed her son and refused to let her go." When Dayong saw the master left, Xiao Linzi's face also changed color, he was annoyed, and he stretched out his hand to push Aunt Xu Xiazi staggeringly: "Mom!What are you doing! " Aunt Xu Xiazi was stunned by the push, then fell to the ground, hugged Dayong's leg, and grabbed the skirt of Xiao Linzi who stepped forward to persuade him, tearing and beating loudly.The three of them immediately got into a mess. In response to the sound of crying and shouting, a group of onlookers poured into the courtyard.Hu Qiang was also inside.He yelled and yelled, and finally tore apart the mess. "Stubborn bull head! Anyway, it's building a pig's nest, and what's in charge! It's fine if it can give birth! Really!" Hu Qiang lost no time in teasing Dayong.The two of them didn't talk seriously when they met, and they always shot each other, belittling each other and stinking bad.Dayong was not willing to suffer at a time like this, and replied: "The pig's nest can't be leaked, so you can just wait for the piglets to be born!" Both of them lowered their voices.Hu Qiang didn't take advantage of it, but still opened his mouth, and Shuzhen was led into the courtyard by Yinping.Hu Qiang had no choice but to swallow the harsh words that rushed into his throat, handed a smiling face to Shuzhen, and yelled at the spectators: "Let's all go! Let's all go! Let's discuss something at home, what do you want to see?" Weier!" Coaxed everyone, including himself, out of the courtyard. The three vajras in the courtyard each occupy one side, and no one seems to be relieved, and no one seems to be relieved. Shuzhen was summoned by Yinping because she was trying her best. Seeing the posture of the three of them, she was furious. "What are you guys doing? Are you afraid that you won't lose enough people? If you think you can do something big, go find a stage on the street and fight!" "Prodigal son! You little bastard is a prodigal son!" Aunt Xu Xiazi seemed to have her daughter's support, and bit her finger at Dayong again. Dayong didn't reply.Xiao Linzi continued: "You said your son is a prodigal son, and there are Sheng Chong in the east wing. How did the big mulberry garden become a 'big funeral home' in the past? Why did you go to the city?" She obviously tried to Convince the future mother-in-law. "That's his uncle's daughter-in-law. She moved Sheng Chong away from the east wing. If you ask anyone who doesn't know, she is the east wing that was shaken the first day. The next morning, she was caught by a small dragon the size of a water tank." I was scared to death by blocking the road!" Aunt Xu Xiazi spoke plausibly. "Who knows? Have you seen it with your own eyes?" "It's not true if I haven't seen it with my own eyes? You little boy has seen a lot of things with his own eyes!" "Even if it's true, Sheng Chong has already moved away, so why leave an empty house?" "Keep the house, Master Sheng Chong knows that people respect it, maybe he will come back in no time." Aunt Xu Xiazi's reasoning is in baskets and baskets, "The rice and white noodles can't be eaten all these years. Are the merits of the East Wing Room and Lord Sheng Chong in it?" Yinping couldn't help "puchi" on the side.Shuzhen glared at it, she hurriedly covered her mouth and giggled to herself. Xiao Linzi said: "Auntie, you are superstitious. In the past few years..." "What? You say I'm superstitious?" Aunt Xu Xiazi glanced at Dayong and Gu Shuzhen, "I respect Sheng Chong, is it superstitious if you don't let you act foolishly?" "You are superstitious." Dayong muttered. "Dayong, Linzi, can't you say a few words less? Mom is a person who has worked. How can you be superstitious!" Shuzhen winked, telling Dayong and Xiao Linzi not to argue. "After all, my daughter is my mother's caring heart." Aunt Xu Xiazi became enthusiastic: "Your mother is a hundred times stronger than you! Say I'm superstitious?Well, I am superstitious!If you dare to move the east wing for me, I won't let Master Li Long curse you with ninety-nine and eighty-one disasters, so it's a strange thing! " "Mom, come in and have a rest." Shuzhen motioned for Dayong and Xiao Linzi to leave, and she helped Aunt Xu Xiazi into the house. "It's all that little vixen! Dayong used to be quite an obedient child, but she messed it up so badly! You didn't listen, and you helped that little vixen curse me without getting married!" Aunt Xu Xiazi lay down on the kang, let Shuzhen hit her back, and kept saying ruthlessly: "Just like Pengcheng, what a good son-in-law! Isn't it the one from Peng Biaozi's family?" Has the coquettish vixen been confused?" She suddenly recalled what Dayong said a while ago, and said: "People said that that night, it was that coquettish vixen from Peng Biaozi's family who said that he wanted to change her son-in-law's residence, so he forced himself to go to Pengcheng's office. You're a sassy vixen with a knife!..." The beating on the back suddenly stopped.Aunt Xu Xiazi lay on her stomach and saw that there was no movement, she got up to see that Shuzhen had already left the courtyard gate like a wind. The most secret thoughts of women are always connected with men.Shuzhen seems to have no such most secret thoughts.In her mind, Yue Pengcheng seemed to have turned into ashes and smoke.But with a few words from Aunt Xu Xiazi, the hidden corner that seemed to be dust and smoke quickly emerged and expanded. After spending days and nights with pain and resentment, Shuzhen's heart became numb and hardened.The heart-piercing scandal that happened a few days ago seemed to be nothing more than a dream, a hazy dream that seemed real and fake.However, in the dead of night, when the moonlight climbed onto the sleeping faces of Yue Rui and Yinping, facing the lonely and indifferent lights, Caesar's guessing and barking, and the harassing noise of autumn insects, Shuzhen couldn't help but rummaged through the storehouse of memory over and over again. , trying unrelentingly to find the cause and condition of today's pain and resentment.Traces and ins and outs. Indeed, since when did Yue Pengcheng betray his wife?Since when.Since then, Yue Pengcheng has sowed the seeds of indifference and abandonment between him and his wife? Searching along the road signs of memory, Shuzhen finally came to the summer evening after the Tianjin order fair.That is the most pleasant time of the year in Yantai, a harbor city.The sea breeze illuminates the proud navigation lights of Yantai Mountain; the soft and lingering sea water of Zhifu Bay dyes the red building and jade pavilion on the top of the Jade Emperor blue; Musha.When the passenger ship from Tianjin docked, Shuzhen saw Yue Pengcheng's burly and strong figure at a glance across the courtyard corridor and gate that were tens of meters long.The news is so exciting!Due to the success of the trip to Tianjin, the career of Dasangyuan will reach a new starting point!Even after receiving the telegram from Tianjin, the cadres in the village specially sent Shuzhen as a representative to meet the "heroes" who returned in triumph. Yue Pengcheng also saw Shuzhen.When he faced Shuzhen's smiling face, for some reason, his face was suddenly stained with the color of sunset.And Qiu Ling, who was originally standing beside Yue Pengcheng, also seemed to deliberately distance herself, with a red cloud that only young girls can have on her face.When Shuzhen took Yue Pengcheng's clothes with one hand, and affectionately pulled Qiu Ling up to the door with the other, a look of embarrassment and hesitation flashed strangely between Yue Pengcheng's rough eyebrows and big eyes. Why didn't Shuzhen think that there was a hidden secret hidden in that flushed complexion and embarrassment! It was during the first few days of going home that Yue Pengcheng seemed to suddenly become attentive and tender.Usually, after dinner, he would walk away with a swipe of his mouth, or cross his legs to play with Caesar; in those few days, he not only cleaned up the dishes, but also picked up the broom to clean up and work for a while.Usually there is nothing to do at night, and it is rare to see him come in before ten o'clock; in those few days, he didn't even leave the house, and he took off his clothes early to go to the kang, and comforted Shuzhen with passion and love that he hadn't had in many years. "Hey! What's the matter with you these days? Didn't you take the wrong medicine in Tianjin?" Shuzhen jokingly said after that dinner when Yue Pengcheng showed his hospitality again. Yue Pengcheng was taken aback by the words, and blushed, as if he understood the meaning of Shuzhen's words.He threw the broom in his hand and said, "I would do you a favor with good intentions, but you..." After saying this, the hospitality and gentleness that had lasted for several days suddenly came to an end like a wild blow. and is gone forever. Why didn't Shuzhen think that what kind of disturbed heart was hidden behind the unreasonable hospitality and tenderness! If this is only the initial gap in the emotional life of Shuzhen and Yue Pengcheng, the disputes surrounding the ups and downs of Mrs. Xiao Yun's wife have cracked and deepened the gap.On the night when Yue Pengcheng broke into Mrs. Xiao Yun's house based on the secret report from Cai Heizi and others, Shuzhen and Yue Pengcheng had the most serious collision after their marriage. "Sister-in-law Yun saved the life of Lei Guan's father, and she is so kind to you, why can't you follow her? Why do you have to be so unkind?" Without eating or cooking, Shuzhen endured Full of displeasure, she insisted on dragging Yue Pengcheng to apologize to Mrs. Xiao Yun and take back those unkind "drunk talk". Yue Pengcheng replied with a cold and firm face: "You don't quack! It's better for you to take care of this kind of thing!" "Why shouldn't I care?" Shuzhen raised her head stubbornly, "Do you know that everyone in the village scolds you? It's useless to scold you! Are you making me see no one in the future?" "You want to see people and see people!" Yue Pengcheng suddenly jumped up violently, "I tell you, who wants to fart and fart outside, and at home, if you follow suit, don't blame my relatives for not recognizing them!" Shuzhen couldn't remember how, with her face full of humiliation and tears, she threw away the pots and bowls, slammed the door, ran out of the courtyard, ran into Mrs. Xiao Yun's house, and stayed there until midnight, until she saw that Mrs. Xiao Yun was safe and sound. until sleep. It seems that the bed was set up in Yue Pengcheng's office that day, and Yue Pengcheng often stayed out at night.That must have been fooling around with Qiu Ling.As soon as Shuzhen thought of the harsh word "fooling around", a scene of Yue Pengcheng shamelessly pushing a young woman into her arms seemed to appear before Shuzhen's eyes.That scene scorched Shuzhen's every nerve like fire, and all kinds of jealousy, humiliation, pain and shame surged up together, throwing her whole into a raging demonic fire. She hates Yue Pengcheng!Hate the man who cheated and betrayed him, the man who was so obscene and absurd! However, a few words from Aunt Xu Xiazi diverted the target of her hatred.不错，岳鹏程原本并不是那种没情没意的人，如果不是秋玲仗着年轻漂亮诱惑勾引，岳鹏程决不会坏到那种地步！当她瞅准这条道理重新追寻往事时，千刀万剐难能解恨的岳鹏程，被搔首弄姿、妖冶放荡的秋玲取代了。秋玲，那个小婊子，那才是一切罪恶、冤孽、耻辱甚至于可能家破人亡的根源！她暂时放弃了向老爷子告状伸冤的念头，拿定主意，要把秋玲好好教训一顿，解一解心头的怨恨。 只是为了避免让其他人知道造成不好影响，“教训”必须在没有第三个人的情况下悄悄进行。从昨天下晌起淑贞一直在寻找时机。现在，时机总算出现了一一村北那条狭长的胡同口外，秋玲正推着一辆自行车向这边走来。 秋玲今天休班，因为正赶上贺子磊补休，上午家里家外收拾了一通，下午两人约好去城里看一场电影。电影据说是得过奥斯卡金像奖的。更重要的是，看过电影他们还要去“浪漫浪漫”。她觉得，她和他现在特别需要这个不久前还十分生口、生硬的字眼。人生能有几多能够“浪漫”的时光？此其时也！ 秋玲今天穿的是一件天蓝色连衣裙。真丝绸面料，领口袖口镶着白边，斜开的领口下方还系着一个漂亮的花结。裙子好像是特意为她设计的，穿在身上，全身上下都洋溢着青春的光彩。这是贺子磊从深圳沙头角买回的，因为式样色彩都是内地绝难见到的，秋玲格外喜欢。今天穿上是特别高兴的意思，是特别为了让贺子磊高兴的意思。 时近中秋，正午的太阳依然热辣辣的。来到村外路口，秋玲在一棵芙蓉树下支起了自行车。芙蓉树不大，张扬浓密的枝叶还是落下一方树荫。约定时间，除非有特殊情况，贺子磊总是准时到达，对于这一点，秋玲格外满意。 离预定时间还有五分钟，秋玲把目光朝建筑公司那边望去。路上空空，不见人影。秋玲摘下太阳帽拥着，却忽然发现一个熟悉的身影，从旁边一条小路直向这边奔来。 淑贞！那正是岳鹏程的妻子淑贞！ 对于淑贞，从心里说，秋玲一向并没有什么不好的印象或者嫉妒怨恨，有时还带着几分敬佩。只是由于自己与岳鹏程背地里有过那么一种特别关系，往常她见了淑贞多是客气地打个招呼，很少说更多的话。如今她与岳鹏程干净了，从一种微妙的心理出发，秋玲很想把与淑贞的关系搞得亲热些。尽管如此，意外相逢，她心里还是禁不住敲起阵小鼓。 淑贞到这儿做什么来了？或许她也要去城里？秋玲心里嘀咕着，淑贞已经来到面前了。 “嫂子，你这是到哪儿去呀？”秋玲努力笑着迎上两步。 淑贞不应声，眼睛朝四下里瞄了瞄，站定了，把冰冷的目光落到秋玲身上。 “秋玲主任，你可打扮得真够漂亮的！你这是要到哪儿去呀？” “我……”秋玲支吾着。她并不想让自己与贺子磊的“浪漫计划”成为人们议论的话题。一个有过难言的感情历程的老姑娘，在这方面为自己和他人设置的“秘密”，比起初恋的少女不知要多出多少倍。 淑贞言语中带出雷电冰雹：“我知道，这又是和他约好了，要找个好地方去！他怎么不让车接你呀？那不是更方便、更没人看得见吗？” 秋玲被说得一懵一愣：这个贺子磊！怎么连两个人出去“浪漫浪漫”，也把底儿兜出去了？ 淑贞不容她懵愣，说：“别以为我是个瞎子聋子，整天让你们蒙在鼓里耍！你么时候和他勾搭上的，你们两个在一起干了些多么光彩的事，我清清亮亮！” 秋玲胸腔里仿佛突然爆炸了一枚手雷，她万没想到淑贞会在这种时候、这种场合挑起那件事，而且挑得直截了当，丝毫没有推倭和回旋的余地。她只觉得一阵血流猛地涌上头顶，涌遍全身，全身麻木得近乎失去了知觉。 “没……嫂子……你千万……千万别……”秋玲舌尖颤抖，颤抖出的是什么，自己也全然不知。 “没有？那跟他搂着亲嘴儿的是哪个？你去问问，村里哪个不知道你勾引人家男人？你为了朝上爬，为了那个彪爹，就豁出个不要脸去？你知道不知道岳鹏程有老婆孩子？你知道不知道，勾引人家男人、破坏人家家庭犯法？啊，你说，你知道不知道？” 淑贞气势凌厉，言辞尖刻。既是蓄谋而来，她自然没有容许秋玲有丝毫抵御和狡辩的理由。 秋玲见淑贞讲出这种话，知道隐瞒抵赖不过，心里越发惶惊：“嫂子……我对不起你……可我没……投破坏……” “谁是你嫂子？你没破坏对不起我么个？”对面路口有人经过，淑贞声音放低，语调却越发严厉起来：“我是可怜你一个大闺女家，还准备着找男人结婚，今儿个才特意来告诉你：往后你要是再勾引我们家岳鹏程一回——不勾引靠近乎也不行！我就到法院去告你！ 新罪旧罪一起究！别说是找男人结婚，不判你十年八年徒刑才怪！我这可不是吓唬三岁的孩子，你可听明白啦！ " 见秋玲嘴唇乌紫，只顾哆嗦，淑贞觉得目的达到了，踅身便向回走。走回几步，又掉转头睥睨地瞟过几眼，说：“那和尚尼姑的事儿，够让人恶心的啦！到了还是个没脸没皮的货！” 淑贞大获全胜，兜马回营。秋玲身上的颤抖却猛然停止了。多少年来她第一次受到这样的“礼遇”。尤其最后捎带的两句话，一下子把她深藏于心底的，往时遭受的一切歧视、侮辱和苦难所累积起来的仇恨，都翻腾出来。那仇恨结下的果实——不顾一切后果的报复欲，也随之升腾起来了。 “徐淑贞！你站住！” 一声喝叫，秋玲快马疾步拦住了淑贞的归路。 “你骂完了要走？我还没说话哪！你给我竖起耳朵听着！你说我勾引你男人了？ 不假，我就是勾引了！勾引了好多次、好多年！你说我破坏你的家庭？也不假，我就是成心要破坏！成心叫你们过不下去！你说你要到法院去告我？行，你前脚走我后脚就拉着岳鹏程去！让他跟你离婚，跟我登记！我这话也不是吓唬家雀的，你听明白啦！我就不信，他看不上我这么漂亮的姑娘，倒看得上你这么个半老婆子！ " 淑贞被这番突如其来且又凌厉凶猛的反攻打垮了。大张着嘴，成了一只木雕的呆鸟。 秋玲犹自汹汹地说：“我明告诉你：岳鹏程是个好样的，我就是喜欢跟他在一块儿！天王老子我也不怕！” 淑贞彻底垮了。捂着脸恸哭着，快步地、踉踉跄跄地朝来路跑去。 望着远去的背影，秋玲蓦然蹲到路边落满浮尘的草地上，呜呜地大哭起来。 因为有事耽搁了几分钟，带着满腹歉疚匆匆赶来的贺子磊，远远看到了方才的一幕。他来到路口，惊诧地打量着不能自制的秋玲和匆匆消失的那个背影，白净的面庞上骡然布起一重黑沉得吓人的云层。
