Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty Two

For several days, Yue Pengcheng concentrated on planning the development of Crescent Island.This is a big move that concerns the whole world.Personnel need to be re-deployed and recruited, financial and material resources need to be coordinated and arranged, and several projects to be launched on the island need to be inspected and planned in detail: how deep is the wharf, and how many boats can it accommodate?How to transform the oil tank and how to ensure the oil source?Where should the yacht go, and whether the sea tourism line can be opened smoothly? ... Yue Pengcheng is like a general who is about to fight, his spirits are high, and his brain is always in an unprecedentedly active state.

Sail along the river, but the wind is blowing again: the negotiation with the Northeast Laoke has been successful, and the two parties have decided to jointly build a large brewery with an annual output of 1,000 tons.Yue Pengcheng decided to build the brewery on Crescent Island as one of the main development and construction projects.In order to verify the implementation, Qi Xiuliang and Dayong went to several authoritative departments in the county and city, and came to a dangerous conclusion: due to the oversupply, the lack of guarantee of raw materials, and the fact that the water on the island is not suitable for brewing, after the brewery is completed, It is very likely that the big mulberry garden will bear a heavy burden.The two summoned up their courage and truthfully reported to Yue Pengcheng.However, Chen Dashuai tried his best to persuade him, and Yue Pengcheng was full of ambitions. He insisted that as long as he caught the other party, everything would be fine, so he resolutely signed the agreement.Qi Xiuliang and Dayong knew that the consequences would be disastrous, but they could only shake their heads and sigh secretly.

What unfolded in front of Yue Pengcheng was a piece of sunshine.He is confident in the development of Crescent Island.The joint operation of the brewery will surely write a new chapter in the development history of Dasangyuan.Yue Pengcheng is no longer a branch secretary in a small village. The word "farmer" on the crown of "farmer entrepreneur" is destined to be thrown into a museum showcase.Yue Pengcheng will set foot on a broader and magnificent stage of life with a more enviable image!Leaning on the sofa in the reception room, Yue Pengcheng seemed to see his promising future.

"Dinglingling!..." The phone rang several times before Yue Pengcheng woke up from the dreamlike intoxication.It was Silver Screen who called.She forgot to bring her keys at noon and asked Yue Pengcheng to go back and open the door for her. "Where is your mother?" "how could I know?" "Where is your grandfather?" "You keep asking me, who am I going to ask? Are you coming back? Are you responsible for being late?" "Wait, I'll be right back." Yue Pengcheng jumped up.He hadn't been to the house for a full week, and he happened to go back to have a look while Shuzhen and Yue Rui were away.

That day Qiuling suddenly asked for marriage, and Yue Pengcheng had no choice but to agree to get rid of the predicament.He put his hope on Qiu Ling calming down.Sure enough, Qiu Ling didn't look for him again these two days, nor did she mention the matter of getting married again.This made him secretly glad that he had won another good move.However, Qiu Ling's unexpected impact caused Yue Pengcheng to have a vague thought: Is that broken home really worth my nostalgia and maintenance?When will I and Shuzhen be able to reconcile?Even if they reconcile, will Shuzhen still be as infatuated and devoted to herself as before?Is marrying Qiuling really as serious and impossible as I imagined?Aren't there not many cadres who got divorced, found new happiness and got reused? ... These kinds of thoughts just popped up occasionally, circling a few times in my mind and then slipping away.However, Yue Pengcheng's attitude towards his relationship with Shuzhen is indeed undergoing a subtle change.

The home seems to be the same as before.Hearing Yue Pengcheng's footsteps, Caesar immediately came to meet him, shaking his head and tail in ecstasy, coquettishly expressing intimacy and protest—this master is not at home, and his status will be reduced many times.Especially this time, it was to the point of being abused! After arranging for Yinping to have a meal and giving Caesar some comfort, Yue Pengcheng went into the inner room.There was no obvious change in the inner room, but his and Shuzhen's bedroom seemed a bit messy.A small quilt was not folded, and it was pitifully left out on the kang; the pillow towel was gone, leaving only a pillow embroidered with white stone old man prawns.Yue Pengcheng could fully imagine Shuzhen's mood when she woke up: heartless and emotionless, she threw off the quilt, put on her slippers, brushed a handful of messy hair, and went out quickly.The usual Shuzhen is not like this.She has quick hands and feet, and after getting up, she folds the quilt, combs her hair, washes her face, wipes the floor, and cooks, all in good order.After all this was over, Yue Pengcheng was still lying in bed without opening his eyes.Sometimes after yelling twice but nothing happened, she climbed onto the bed and kissed her face first, then lifted the quilt, and slapped her bare buttocks twice.So Yue Pengcheng bounced off the bed, put on autumn clothes, put on pants, tie his shoes, go to the bathroom, and completed all the action procedures within ten minutes.Then he waited quietly for the hot milk and breakfast to be served in front of him, wiped his lips after drinking and eating, teased Caesar to dance a few times, and went out with open arms.After Shuzhen took care of him and the child, she had to clean up and wash up quickly, and then went to class without stopping.Since the completion of this new house, no, as early as when they got married and he became the branch secretary, he and she have often lived like this.

Yue Pengcheng was warmed by the joy of the married life that seemed to have passed away.When he sat on the sofa in the reception room, he closed his eyes slightly.Shuzhen's love for him is too much and too thick, it seems that she can't recall it anymore.But the two slaps that landed on the buttocks were surprisingly real and clear at this moment, as if they still had a crisp sound and a rustling pain, appearing in front of my ears.All the memories worthy of nostalgia suddenly appeared in front of my eyes; like a simmering fire, like a drizzle of rain... After sitting like this for about five minutes, when Yue Pengcheng opened his eyes again, he suddenly found a dazzling blank on the wall - that is exactly what happened. This is where the wedding photos were originally hung.Surprised, he searched around, only to find an empty frame in the corner behind the TV cabinet, the photo and the glass covering the photo were gone.His heart skipped a beat.Open the drawers and cupboards to see my own things, including the used teacups.The pipe, the pen, the seal, and the letter with his name on it all disappeared.This was obviously cleaned specially, and it was cleaned very cleanly and thoroughly.

His heart trembled.With the trembling, he smelled a smell, a smell that should not appear and exist.He searched and found a few pinches of ash and cigarette butts in an ashtray in the corner.If he is not at home, who will come?Could it be Shuzhen... Yue Pengcheng became alarmed and became alert.He went out to the kitchen. "Is your mother still sick these two days, Ping?" "Don't you know if my mother is sick or not? What a bureaucrat!" Yin Ping rolled his eyes. "Is your mother very ill?—I mean. What did she say to you the last two days?" Yinping didn't answer, just eating his own food.

Yue Pengcheng: "Ping, think about it, did your mother tell you anything?" Yinping: "You ask this! I'm still mumbling this morning!" "What are you mumbling about? You can learn from your father." "What else can I mutter? 'Study hard, you will be successful when you grow up!' 'Don't be too tired, don't be a four-eyed person!'" Yinping imitated Shuzhen's accent, not without teasing. Yue Pengcheng was slightly taken aback, then asked again: "Think about it again, did your mother tell you this morning?" "Oh, there's more." Yinping's ridicule changed direction, but she still imitated Shuzhen's voice: "When I grow up, I will learn from your brother and sister Xiaoyu, and don't be like your father!  … "

Yue Pengcheng: "Don't do anything to me?" "Oh, Dad! Why are you so annoying!" Yinping left his job and walked away.The college entrance examination class is a special rhythm of life. Apart from eating and sleeping, the classroom is the only place to go.Silverscreen is used to this rhythm. There was a bang at the gate, leaving behind an empty heart. ...the bed was messy...wedding photos and belongings were cleared...smoke that shouldn't appear...an exhortation to the silver screen...doubts and vigilance became real and clear. A woman with Shuzhen's personality would never let her husband's infidelity go.From the very beginning, Yue Pengcheng imagined all kinds of actions she might take, such as tracing, crying, appealing, and divorce.Shuzhen hadn't acted these days and hadn't caused any embarrassment to him, he was secretly thankful earlier.But now, Yue Pengcheng discovered a situation much more serious than his original assumption and worries—despair!Shuzhen is using a desperate form to retaliate and accuse him of his infidelity!

Every cell in Yue Pengcheng's body was shocked, and Shuzhen's expression of grief and indignation flashed before his eyes.The expression was fluttering, and it sank into the wide and deep water of the Maya River. Yue Pengcheng's head swelled, and he ran out of the courtyard immediately.sinner!Yue Pengcheng is absolutely unwilling to be looked at by thousands of people.Sinners cursed by all!He wanted to find Shuzhen as quickly as possible, stop Shuzhen, even if he knelt down, he wanted to snatch her back from self-destruction! He ran out of the village and came to the bridge over the Maya River.Nothing unusual on or off the bridge.It suddenly occurred to him that since Shuzhen was going to die, she would not choose such a place where people come and go.Immediately let go and run downstream where the water is deep and there is no one. Running not far along the long embankment of Hebin Park, Yue Pengcheng stopped suddenly: on a stone step by the downstream river, a familiar figure was washing clothes, and that was Shuzhen. Yue Pengcheng's tense heartstrings suddenly loosened, his body softened for a while, and he slumped down on a stone bench by the river. He suddenly remembered that Shuzhen suffered from joint pains in her legs and hands because she washed clothes by the river since she was a child.The washing machine at home had been broken for several months. Shuzhen asked him to find someone to fix it several times, but he forgot about it. "Immediately! Let the mall send a washing machine back immediately!" Yue Pengcheng said silently in his heart. Shuzhen made up her mind that she had to go to work tomorrow no matter what.One is that the flower company originally had few people, and I was the boss. After a few days, people were in a hurry, and my heart was empty; Tasteless, and the body is prone to problems.I tidied up inside and outside the house in the first afternoon. Seeing the sun was good in the afternoon, I persisted and dug out the debt owed in spring—the cotton clothes that the family hadn’t unpacked and washed, and a few pieces of clothing that should be put away.Naturally, there was nothing to say about other people's things, but Yue Pengcheng's things really made her feel sick for a while.You have lost your conscience!I don't care if it's rotten or smelly!She threw the few clothes on the ground.Even throwing it on the ground felt glaring, so I kicked it again, and "expelled" it to the porch outside the house.Her resentment towards Yue Pengcheng cannot be described in words.Single and lonely, waking up in the middle of the night, tears drenched the pillow towel many times, and I couldn't stop it.She had no choice but to get up, sit for a while, or run to the yard, and stand there under the autumn stars and cool wind until her mood calmed down before returning to the house.And once you close your eyes, you can't stop a nightmare or a sweet dream.The bad dream and the sweet dream gave her the same thing—resentment.As much as her love for Yue Pengcheng accumulated in the past, now her resentment towards Yue Pengcheng is also as deep as it is.She hated Yue Pengcheng, and also hated this year.If it hadn't been for the earth-shaking changes in the past few years, Yue Pengcheng would not have been as bad as he is now if he was still carrying big guns, drilling caves, and repairing Dazhai fields in the past.As a mass and flower company manager at Damulberry Garden, she couldn't help but acknowledge the benefits of this upheaval.As a woman and a wife, she would rather have Yue Pengcheng, a soldier and temporary worker who wears an old military uniform, gnaws corn cakes and dried sweet potatoes, has calloused hands and a sweaty body, and does not want this man who lives in a foreign-style building in a small car. The rich and powerful "Secretary Yue" and "peasant entrepreneur and reformer"! After unpacking Yinping, Leiguan Xiaoyu and her own cotton clothes, the cotton wool was hung up to dry, and the outer cover, inner lining and other laundry to be washed were put into the basin and carried away, but the few clothes on the porch outside the house caught her again.She finally had to close her eyes, pack up those few clothes, and move them to the river.Packing and moving, I felt hatred in my heart—hate myself for not having a good life, and fell in love with such a heartless man desperately; Didn't come out, but gave to the person who bullied him..."Stupid wife, heartless man", God, you are really fair! The autumn wind is cool, and the river water is also cold, but she still wants to go to the river to wash.That home made her sad and bored to death. And in the cool breeze and flowing water by the river, there are many beautiful and happy memories of her floating around. After washing the clothes, Shuzhen came home and just lay down when Aunt Xu Xiazi came in loudly: "I said you Zhenzi! You don't want to die!" During this time, Aunt Xu Xiazi came here several times a day.Come to make medicine for Shuzhen, come to relieve her daughter, and come to vent her resentment towards that future daughter-in-law-Dayong and Xiao Linzi did not change the blueprint for demolition of the east wing because of her obstruction. "Zhenzi, what's the matter with you! You dragged your sick body and ran towards the river! You want to unpack and wash things, but Mom won't do it for you? If something happens to you, you will let Mom... " Aunt Xu Xiazi sat on the kang, stroking Shuzhen's hands and head and counting, and the tides came out again in the shriveled sockets. Seeing her like this, Shuzhen comforted her and said, "Mom, it's okay. I just want to go to the riverside to cleanse myself. I'm so spoiled!" Aunt Xu Xiazi wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Zhenzi, I didn't say that, don't keep asking questions in your heart. Open up!Stop thinking about those things!Heroes love beauties in every dynasty and generation.Which capable person in the past didn't have three wives and six concubines?If Yinping's father doesn't leave the family behind, that's fine..." "It's these fallacies again! I won't listen!" Shuzhen pulled a pillow towel and covered her ears. "Okay, don't listen. I don't want to talk about it, okay?" Aunt Xu Xiazi got off the kang to make medicine, but she muttered again: "You are a virgin, you are more stubborn than your mother! It's good to be stubborn, I If it were you, just try to compete with that coquettish vixen! I don't believe it, you have been together for so many years, you have sons and daughters, Peng Cheng will definitely let that vixen compete?" "Mom, what are you talking about?" Shuzhen turned over and sat up. "Okay! Damn your mother, damn your mother!" Aunt Xu Xiazi hurriedly found Yao Chozi and went into the kitchen. ... Try to compete with that flamboyant vixen... Don't believe me... Pengcheng will definitely let that vixen compete... Aunt Xu Xiazi's words carried powerful electromagnetic waves, and suddenly opened Shuzhen's closed and dull head.Yes, why not fight?Yue Pengcheng is her husband, and her husband was snatched away, why can't she get it back? fight!Shuzhen sat blankly for a while, and an idea formed in her mind.She got out of bed to freshen up and went out, crossing the streets and alleys, heading straight for the construction company. When they came to the construction company, Shuzhen chatted with the clerk on duty for a while, and then opened the door of the "engineer's room". "Hey, Qugong is here." Shuzhen walked in, and handed a smiling face to Qugong who was busy at his desk, "I thought there was no one alive in your construction company!" Qu Gong was a classmate of He Zilei's in college, and he was recommended by He Zilei to come to Damulberry Garden. The two are close friends. He Zilei knew that Shuzhen was involved in the relationship between He Zilei and Qiu Ling. "Oh, it's Manager Xu." Qu Gong stood up quickly with an inexplicable anxiety. "I have something to do with your manager, but it's good, the doors are locked! Is Mr. He going to the construction site too?" Shuzhen had a completely casual expression. "Ok……" "You're busy, you're busy." Shuzhen pretended to go out, but stopped when she stepped out: "Hey, have you set a date for He Gong's wedding?" When Qu Gong asked about this matter, he hesitated and said, "I can't say that well." Shuzhen seemed surprised and said: "Aren't you a good friend with him? He has been talking with Qiu Ling for more than half a year, why hasn't even a day..." Qu Gong glanced at Shuzhen in bewilderment, but his heart calmed down, and said: "According to He Gong, it seems that there are some things that are not at ease. "Oh, no wonder! It's probably someone who is chewing their tongues behind their backs!" Shuzhen's anger was beyond words.After a while, he said reproachfully: "Hey! You Gong Gong is really knowledgeable! How old is he this year and what is his situation? How old is Qiu Ling and what is his situation? If I tell you, don't talk about him Qiu Ling may have those gossips, even if it was a big deal in the past, as long as he is sincerely living with him now, that is his blessing! You comment, I say this Is it okay?" Qu Gong was taken aback by the words, and then nodded approvingly.
