Chapter 16 The first episode

"Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster comes, they fly separately." This is a manifestation of human survival instinct. In a special environment, although some people, as the saying goes, only care about themselves and ignore their relatives, but some People do the opposite. Among all living beings, the experience of most people is ordinary, and the daily life is calm, flowing quietly like a stream, slow and soothing like a river.The various business outlets of the Sichuan Branch of Guoxing Bank are operating peacefully and orderly year after year. The attitude of the employees is kind and friendly. Banknotes, customers lined up in an orderly manner, watching the bank staff busy.

The wheel of history turned to the spring of 2008. Suddenly, there was a horrible and strange sound in the business room, everything was shaking, and people were running away.Some bank employees shouted nervously amid the shaking, sorted out the money and receipts, and then quickly evacuated.Some people didn't have time to evacuate in the rush, and the disaster of landslides and ground cracks came! At 14:28 on May 12, 2008, a force equivalent to 100 Hiroshima atomic bombs slammed into the northwest edge of the Chengdu Plain in the hinterland of the motherland. Thousands of houses and buildings collapsed within ten seconds. When it collapsed, billowing sand and boulders poured down, rushing from left to right between the towns, hundreds of thousands of people were buried under the ruins!

The dormitory building collapsed, and the wife of Zhan Tianguo, an employee of Guoxing Bank Wenchuan Branch, was buried deeply under the rubble.That day, Zhan Tianguo was distributing Huinong Cards for farmers in a village. In order to let the villagers get more benefits, the village head tried to make him eat and drink well, and try his best to meet his needs, so that Zhan Tianguo had a good impression of the village. good impression.When it was almost noon, the village chief took him to a farm on purpose, and proudly introduced Li Xiantao, the housewife of this household, to him.Li Xiantao is one of the best rural women, her eyes are like streams flowing through the forest, bright and heart-piercing, and her figure is as slim as a birch tree.Li Xiantao's gentle greetings made Zhan Tianguo blush in a heartbeat: "What wind brought our God of Wealth here, oh, such a young and beautiful guy is here, no wonder two magpies flew here in our village today!"

Zhan Tianguo had never met such a beautiful, shrewd, and eloquent woman in his many years of experience in going to the countryside to benefit farmers. He was very reserved at the time, and wanted to have a few words with her but had nothing to say, and wanted to appreciate her carefully. Her appearance worried the village chief's suspicion.In remote rural areas, especially when men are not at home and go out to work, women still have scruples about socializing with men outside.Zhan Tianguo heard from the village chief that Li Xiantao's husband works in Shenzhen - this village is known as a "worker's village" in the town, and Li Xiantao is a well-known proud woman in the village, a master of "lonely self-admiration".But the moment Li Xiantao saw Zhan Tianguo, he was moved by the bank employee's appearance and demeanor.Zhan Tianguo is tall and slender, with fair cheeks, a hooked nose and a pair of inscrutable eyes, with the light of wisdom shining in his pupils.In this remote mountain village, Zhan Tianguo's appearance and temperament are unrivaled. Uncharacteristically, Li Xiantao, who is "Admiring Herself", was ecstatic about his arrival and insisted on keeping him at home for dinner.The purpose of the village chief brought Zhan Tianguo here was to keep him here for dinner, and he hit it off with Li Xiantao immediately. The village chief said on the spot, "I brought him here because the leader is handsome. As the saying goes, a good man Wear good clothes, good horses with good saddles."

The village head and the beautiful Li Xiantao are obviously very close, and the two flirted, and they started talking about serious business after they had had enough of their mouths.This is a custom in the local countryside. Farmers have worked together for many years, and their ancestors have lived on this land for generations. They play and laugh when they meet, which is also a way for the people to adjust their boring life.Time passed quickly amid the cheerful laughter, and before I knew it, it was time for lunch.The village chief warmly invited Zhan Tianguo to have dinner at Li Xiantao's house, which was exactly what Li Xiantao wished for.Zhan Tianguo understood at that time that he was here to be a "light bulb", but from his original intention, he was willing to be this happy "light bulb".Accompanied by the village head, Zhan Tianguo had a "light meal" at Li Xiantao's house.Stewed vermicelli with potatoes, pickled cabbage, bacon with bamboo shoots, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.These simple farm dishes made Zhan Tianguo and the village chief exchange cups and drink two catties of soil shochu.After Li Xiantao finished her meal, she joined the two men's wine fighting team and shared the nourishment of pure grain wine and "local vegetables" with them.After Zhan Tianguo drank, he admired Li Xiantao seriously. Li Xiantao's face was as white as a fresh peach in May, showing a natural luster, which made people who have lived in the city feel the simplicity and openness of nature. beauty of.Li Xiantao's complexion is that kind of milky white that can't be tanned, her slim wasp waist sets off her round arms, her curvy chest is indescribably enchanting.Zhan Tianguo thought, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters really produces beauties, how can such a remote place retain such a golden phoenix?Under the influence of alcohol, Zhan Tianguo reluctantly talked with Li Xiantao, and the two exchanged a lot of eye contact.It wasn't until the village head became jealous and clinked the cups and plates that Li Xiantao restrained his unrestrained words and deeds.Zhan Tianguo also realized the complexity of the problem, so he consciously changed the content of the conversation, and talked with the village chief about the implementation of various business developments in the village.When he left Li Xiantao's house, Li Xiantao and the village chief sent him a long way to the bus stop on the expressway back to the city.Due to a longer drinking time at noon, the car Zhan Tianguo was riding in encountered the disaster not far away.The driver was an old comrade with rich experience. He stopped the car immediately, and after the main shock wave passed, he drove faster. When the road ahead was blocked by a landslide and could not drive, the driver stopped the car again and let the passengers get off and go home. To help his relatives, he stayed in the car and waited for the company to come.
