Chapter 18 Chapter 18 At that moment, the sky fell apart

"Okay, this name is good!" When Ouyang decided to use the name "Beautiful Homeland", it was well received both inside and outside the company.Those who stick to words, think about it carefully, and there is really no one who is closer to the citizens than the words "beautiful homeland".In Shenzhen, even those who are rich or not very rich, most of them immigrated from the mainland to the Special Economic Zone. After working hard for several years, they plan to settle down. Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful and warm home?In fact, many homebuyers don't really know what kind of house is good when they buy a house. The overwhelming real estate advertisements and gorgeous and dazzling adjectives make most homebuyers don't know where and what kind of house to choose as their ideal living room.A real estate name that suits the heart and can be accepted and satisfied by the whole family seems to be the "first impression" of buyers.Thousands of properties in the world are advertised as "beautiful homes", but none of them are actually named "beautiful homes".

Ouyang fell in love with "beautiful homes", so he positioned his career on the goal of building beautiful homes for his development targets, which also contributed heavily to his future glory. Beauty can make people associate, but beauty is enough to make people yearn for without association! In fact, Ouyang Xiangshan still has his own understanding and goal for the name "Beautiful Homeland": when he first came to Shenzhen, Ouyang was a rural child. I was excited and excited to live in the upstairs.Later, when he got married, he and his wife had to live in a warehouse with their children because they did not meet the conditions for joining the army and their position was low. At that time, he longed to have a home even if it was only a few square meters. It is also very beautiful.Later, he was promoted to an officer who was able to take his wife and children with the army. The army allocated housing. When he moved into his own house, he spent a whole month tidying up the inside and outside of the house until he thought it was beautiful. until.Later, when he witnessed the buildings in Shenzhen rising from the ground and becoming a sea of ​​buildings, he often took the opportunity of patrolling to walk on the streets and admire all kinds of buildings, especially when he saw the scattered buildings. When looking for a well-decorated and gorgeously decorated home, the ambition of "I also want to have a beautiful home" will inevitably arise in my heart.Later, he started building a house by himself, and he found that he could build a beautiful home!This made him excited and excited, and at the same time encouraged him to set the future development direction of Xiahai on the cause of building a beautiful home.Now he can really let go and work hard to realize this ideal!

"Beautiful homeland..." When Ouyang tasted these four words, he became more and more imaginative. This artistic conception makes the people feel warm and hopeful. This artistic conception also includes people's many pursuits for a happy life.In short, the word "beautiful" can make everyone feel bright and excited.Even people who are colorblind know what beauty is, and even blind people know how to straighten their clothes...Beauty is in everyone's heart. For the birth of "Beautiful Homeland", Ouyang was so excited that he couldn't sleep every day.He is the boss of the company, the general manager of the company, and even the gatekeeper of the company. He has to take care of all the big and small things—because he earns every penny with his sweat, so he cherishes it all the more. Every penny is being spent.With an investment of tens of millions of yuan, the huge construction site is a battlefield where bundles of money are thrown into it, and he cannot stop thinking about every detail all the time.In order to build a "beautiful homeland", Ouyang no longer remembers the color of the sheets in his home, let alone which clothes have been washed or not.Except for the project that has already started, Ouyang has already thrown everything else out of the blue.

That day, when he left the house early in the morning, as soon as he arrived at the construction site, his wife rushed over panting: "Run, run away from her..." Ouyang was busy having a meeting with the engineering department, and without looking back, he asked lightly, "What are you running for? Who is it?" "Eating tomatoes won't hurt like this!" "But I ate, 8 of them at once." "Ah? Eight? You, you..." Ouyang wanted to swear when he heard it, but his pregnant wife was profusely sweating, and she was so hungry that she ate these tomatoes to fill her belly because she was waiting for him to come back from the army for the New Year's Eve dinner. He swallowed the words back. "Hold on! Just hold on for a few more minutes! There will definitely be a car in a while."

"Tududut—" A beam of dazzling light pierced Ouyang's eyes. "Hey, isn't this the captain of Ouyang Squadron?" The three three-wheeled motorcycles stopped abruptly in front of Ouyang. It turned out that Wu Donghui, the deputy company commander of the Seventh Detachment's special agent company, led the team to perform the patrol mission. Ouyang took a look and was very pleasantly surprised: "It's you! Hurry up, send us to the hospital!" "Yes! Squadron leader!" Several soldiers quickly helped Ouyang and his wife onto the motorcycle, and went straight to the People's Hospital...

When the doctor saw it, he immediately waved to Ouyang: "Your wife is going to give birth!" Outside the delivery room, Ouyang looked nervous, surrounded by a few armed policemen, unsuspecting doctors and hospitalized patients walked back and forth to look at Ouyang, staring and asking in amazement: "Why did you arrest another one?" Thief?" The comrades-in-arms were puzzled: "Where are the thieves?" "Hey, isn't this the thief you caught?" Someone even pointed at Ouyang. "Nonsense!" the comrade-in-arms said angrily, and everyone laughed at Ouyang after he left.

"Wow! Wow--" In less than 10 minutes, a clear cry of a baby suddenly came from the delivery room. "Congratulations! Sir, you got a 'daughter'..." The doctor came over and congratulated Ouyang with a smile. "I really thank you guys, otherwise my wife would have given birth on the side of the road today..." Ouyang said gratefully to his comrades. "Haha, Squadron Captain Ouyang is going to treat you—!" The comrades surrounded Ouyang and cheered. The restless Tingting came to this world on the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this princess of the Ouyang family was doomed to have a restless character and a good fate in the future.

In the hospital, those who thought Ouyang was a "thief" got up very embarrassed, stood aside and whispered: "This man is really lucky!" Ouyang's fortune is indeed great, adding a "daughter" on the first day of the new year.Perhaps because the "daughter" was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the little one seemed extraordinarily precious.Now that they are all only children, which parents don't regard their children as the apple of their eye?However, Ouyang during his military career could not take into account the children's feelings and the environmental needs of their growth.After the daughter was born, because the mother was still a temporary worker, and Ouyang, as the father, was constantly promoted, the child did not get much peace in his infancy and childhood.Only three kindergartens have been transferred, and there are several elementary schools. Why?Because Ouyang was promoted once after working for one or two years in those years, and every time he was promoted, he had to change troops.Although the seven armed police teams are all in Shenzhen, they are stationed in different urban areas, so the children keep changing kindergartens and primary schools.At that time, the child was still young, and although she was unable to fight against the adults, her young heart was unintentionally hurt a lot.This kind of injury first made her feel strange about the surroundings. Those children just got acquainted, and she was thrown into another strange environment again.

In kindergarten, Xiao Tingting could accept this strange environment with silence, but after going to school, this kind of strangeness has become a serious damage to her young heart-children also like to be bullied and afraid of familiarity. Good learning partner.Although Xiao Tingting is talented and intelligent, she can't stand frequent tossing.Every time she changes schools, she always has to go through a period of several months of adaptation, and when she can confidently face many students in class and skillfully answer the teacher's questions, her father or mother is handling the transfer for her. School procedures... Tingting is actually very poor.Maybe it was just like this, Ouyang put Tingting in a "noble school" - Shiyan Public School when he had money on hand after going to sea, where he could eat and live at the school and let Ouyang and his wife work with peace of mind.Ouyang thought that this would make his daughter feel at ease and study hard, but he ignored a very important issue-how much the environment affects underage children.

Before the age of 10, Xiao Tingting almost lived a life of homeless study and life amidst the constant promotion of her father Ouyang. Now the "noble school" has made her living and study environment peaceful. When she no longer needs to communicate with those who often When the replacement new partner got acquainted with each other, the little guy's eyes began to focus on the clothes and luxurious lifestyles of his classmates-brand-name clothes, shoes and hats, and the "pocket money" of hundreds or thousands, All these made Tingting curious and envious, especially the spectacular sights of classmates and parents appearing at the school gate in all kinds of limousines every weekend when school was over and back to school, which made Tingting, who had been closed before, feel a sense of envy. What is "the outside world".

"The outside world is wonderful..." Little Tingting gradually learned to hum such songs and savor the world.In fact, children have very limited understanding of the "outside world", so Tingting's intelligent attention gradually shifted away from studying, and shifted to curious classmates and their "rich and colorful" lifestyles. She has changed.With his aesthetic vision of life from a bitter background, Ouyang keenly felt that the child's clothing, words and deeds have undergone tremendous changes since entering the "noble school". "This is unacceptable!" Ouyang became nervous and vigilant, and immediately took Xiao Tingting to Shenzhen Hongling Middle School with the reason of "for your own good".This is a public school. In Ouyang's traditional sense, only public schools can educate children well.For this reason, he specially bought a house near Hongling Middle School at a high price, in order to give his children more care or more supervision.However, it is difficult for the child who has become a habit to have peace of mind at this time. The temptation of the "wonderful world outside" makes her unable to escape, and her academic performance declines day by day, until finally she does not even want to take the exam. Ouyang can't accept such a child. "Why don't you want to take the exam?" Standing in front of a ten-year-old child, Ouyang asked with the majesty of being a battalion commander. "I'm not feeling well." The daughter said with a dismissive glance at her father. Ouyang's blood rushed to his forehead, his fists were clenched tightly, but then he reluctantly let go.He was still angry and said: "If you don't take the exam, I will beat you when you come back!" The construction site was very busy, and when he said these words to his daughter, the mobile phone rang several times.Ouyang glared at his daughter and hurried out of the house. He never imagined that his young daughter would pack up her things and run away alone not long after he left the house... "This child! Where will she go?" When Ouyang heard that his daughter had run away from home, his heart immediately hung in his throat - he knew when he was in the Armed Police Force that dozens of children and elderly people get lost in Shenzhen every year. , and the number of innocent people hijacked or injured by bad guys is even more shocking! "Stupid! How could a silly boy think of running away from home?" Ouyang seemed to be in dire straits. "If something happens to Tingting, I won't live! Huh..." His wife cried and shouted, which made Ouyang even more anxious. "What's the use of crying? Go find it!" Ouyang helped his wife up, started the car, and began to search for their "daughter" in the vast crowd... All day, no news. Night after night, still no clue. Ouyang and his wife were so anxious that they were about to collapse.It was hard to find out the names of two young classmates who usually play with Tingting, but they only know that the two classmates live in a certain garden apartment area in Meilin, but they don't know the specific building of their house.Ouyang had no choice but to knock on the door one by one to ask... "When did you knock on the door like that?" It was five or six in the morning, when Shenzhen people were sleeping soundly. Every time Ouyang knocked on the door, he was scolded like hell.No matter how he explained in a pleasant manner, the infamy of "crazy", "crazy", or even "call the police to the police", Ouyang could only listen to it, and kept saying "I'm sorry" and "Thank you".Finally, when they tried their best to find the homes of these two classmates, they said they had no idea where Tingting was. "This child..." After hearing this, Ouyang's legs went limp, and his body collapsed on the ground involuntarily... "Mr. Ou, a batch of materials must be brought in at the construction site today, why don't you come here quickly, if you can't make an order, the construction will be delayed." The company's assistant called over and over to urge. "Delay is delay! I don't want to do it anymore!" Ouyang slammed the phone off, his chest heaving so much that even he was surprised. "The sudden departure of my daughter hit me far more than anything in the world. At that moment, I thought, all careers and wealth are empty. Only children are my God, my life, my spirit and the foundation of my career. All pillars!" Ouyang said to me when recalling this incident. Where will the child go?The Ouyang couple searched everywhere they could think of, but their daughter was still missing.Ouyang continued to search for clues while calling the police to the public security department. Yes, will she go to her former classmates?Ouyang suddenly remembered that her daughter had a small notebook with phone numbers, which recorded the phone numbers of some of her close classmates.This phone number book is in his hands, and it was put away by Ouyang more than a month ago.At that time, it was because I saw that my daughter was not reading in her own small room when she came home, but she always called her classmates endlessly with a small book.When he got angry, Ouyang took away the child's phone book.At this moment Ouyang remembered it, but couldn't remember where to put it for a while, so he searched through boxes and cabinets at home, and finally found the small phone book sandwiched in a book on the bookshelf.With cold sweat on his forehead, Ouyang called the numbers one by one, but all failed. It's over!Ouyang began to despair.He sat slumped on the sofa, tears couldn't help gushing out of his eye sockets like the tide breaking a bank... Two days have passed.There is no news from the Public Security Bureau, and there is no response from all the students who have been contacted.When Ouyang called those classmates and their parents to ask questions, he always left a sentence: If Tingting calls you, please notify me immediately.But now there is no news on this aspect.Can this prevent Ouyang from getting sick? The child is still young, but also a girl.In the past, when Ouyang was in the army, he had to read the relevant police reports from the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau every week. He knew all kinds of girl murders like the back of his hand.Ouyang became a little numb after watching such vicious events.But now it was his daughter's turn. He couldn't help but see all kinds of murders of vicious women and children that he had seen and heard in the past. Those horrible and bloody cases seemed to be hurting him. ... The construction of "Beautiful Homeland" has entered the most intense stage. Ouyang, who used to be on the construction site for more than 20 hours a day, has not appeared at the construction site for more than two days now.The people in the engineering department and the company headquarters were in a hurry, but no one dared to disturb their boss easily. At this moment, Ouyang refused to answer all the calls from the construction site and the company, or even if he answered, the other party would not get any instructions , On the contrary, he will eat a meal of inexplicable anger. Ouyang fell into the abyss of pain. Time passed by every minute, and only Ouyang and his wife could feel that heartburning feeling. "Are you Tingting's father?" On the third day, Ouyang's cell phone rang suddenly, and the other party was a girl's voice.Undoubtedly Tingting's classmate. "It's me, are you Tingting's classmate? Is there any news about Tingting?" Ouyang almost held the phone tightly with both hands, for fear of missing a word. "Yes, uncle. Tingting called me just now and said that she is outside alone now, and she said that her parents should not take care of her..." said the classmate. "Do you know where she is? Is she okay?" Ouyang wanted to know every tiny detail, from which he wanted to get information about where his daughter was, whether she was in danger, and so on. But his daughter's classmate's answer disappointed him: "No. She didn't say anything else, and she didn't tell me where she is..." "Thank you! If she calls again, please tell me immediately." Although Ouyang didn't get any more information, this news has made his heart hanging in the air a lot more at ease-the child has not yet Danger. where is sheOuyang immediately picked up the phone again, and he dialed a comrade in arms at the Public Security Bureau... Soon, he knew where his daughter was.The monitoring equipment of the public security system immediately determined that the call made by Ouyang's daughter was in Pingshan Town. "What is she doing there alone?" The wife cried again in anxiety. "Don't worry, as long as there is news of her, it means that she is still safe. You wait at home for further information, and I will drive to Pingshan Town immediately..." "No, I want to go with you!" "You're about to collapse, you'd better stay at home and wait for the phone call." The husband said with concern. "No, I'm going!" Before Ouyang finished speaking, his wife had already gone out first. The couple boarded the car and went straight to a place tens of kilometers away from downtown Shenzhen.Looking at Pingshan Town, where cars were coming and going, Ouyang thought hard: where would this child be? Yes, she must be in a restaurant!Ouyang judged his daughter in this way because when the child was arguing with him, he would suddenly say something like "I go out to work in a restaurant to earn money and support myself".Now she is running away without much money with her. She can last for 3 days. She has to eat and live, and she may only work in a restaurant.Holding on to this idea, Ouyang quickly asked his friends from the Public Security Bureau to find out the address of the phone call made by his daughter.However, there are so many small shops and stalls in Pingshan Town, and the house number of a street cannot be determined whose home it is.What's more, Ouyang couldn't disturb his daughter, he was afraid that if the child ran away after seeing him, he might never find her again... What should I do?There is no other good way, only to search carefully, and once you find it, "catch" her and never let her disappear from sight! In this way, Ouyang searched along a row of restaurants... Finally he found the restaurant that matched the phone number.But what about the children?Not at all!Ouyang rushed into the restaurant to search inside and out, but he didn't find his precious daughter.Turning around and asking the owner of the restaurant, the owner said that the girl Ouyang described had never been hired in their store. "However, there is a girl who is similar to what you said came here and called." The shop owner's words made Ouyang Xuanqi's heart drop a few more feet. "Tell me, where is she?" Ouyang's heart was pounding. "Here, the one with a few shops..." The owner of the small restaurant pointed to a small restaurant in front of Ouyang. "Thank you." Ouyang handed over a few hundred yuan to the boss, and approached the small restaurant with light steps... It was around 7 o'clock in the evening, and it was also the peak time for dining.The lights flickered and the figures shook, which made it easier for Ouyang not to be exposed. see!I saw my daughter Tingting!Ouyang couldn't hold back his beating heart at that moment, and with a sound of "Tingting", Tingting, a "child laborer" who was busy in the small restaurant, woke up... "Father——" Xiao Tingting didn't run, nor did she hesitate at all. She threw down the tableware in her hand, and like a lost lamb suddenly returned to her mother's arms, she opened her arms and ran towards her father—almost At the same time, Ouyang stepped forward quickly... The father and daughter hugged each other tightly.The mother standing aside followed Feibu and hugged her daughter tightly, crying and crying: "Tingting! Tingting... I finally found you!" At that moment, the child cried so that his two little shoulders trembled.Ouyang and his wife had already burst into tears. The lost world has returned.Although it was late at night, Ouyang felt that there was sunshine ahead... He didn't blame his daughter, and the three of them opened the car door and sat in the car together. When the car started, Ouyang and his wife turned their heads to look at the daughter beside them from time to time. Feelings of pity, love and helplessness hit him like a surging tide—— The daughter told him that during the few days when she was away, she had thoughts of dying, never wanting to go home, let alone recognizing her parents.In the end, she was so hungry that she didn't have the energy to speak, so she had to find a place to work and get something to eat.The reason why she didn't look for a job in Shenzhen was because she wanted to stay away from home and her parents.She has been tempted by the recruitment of those shops and small shops, but the bosses have to wait for you to work for a month or even 3 months before paying wages.What should I do if I don’t get paid?So in the end I had to find a small restaurant. "They are really dark. They only give them two meals a day, and they only let them sleep in a small dark attic without even a towel. , I feel like studying at school again... On the first morning of part-time job, I was asked to fry deep-fried dough sticks. Arms for parents to see.The eyes of the Ouyang couple immediately filled with tears. "Yesterday, the proprietress asked me to learn how to cut meat again. The knife is so sharp! I didn't cut the meat with my hand, but cut it on my finger. Look, it's still bleeding here—" The daughter held out her other hand , The blood oozing from the "Band-Aid" that was gently lifted dripped into Ouyang's palm, but it felt like pain on the tip of his heart... "Silly Tingting, you are not allowed to leave home again! Ah, did you hear that?" Ouyang He hugged his daughter distressedly. "En." The daughter nestled obediently on the right side of her father's body, and fell asleep sweetly after a while... Looking at the sleeping daughter, Ouyang felt an unspeakable sense of guilt.Yes, the child has grown so big, Ouyang has never looked at her daughter as much as today, and never paid attention to her daughter as much as today.For the first time, he felt that his daughter had such a heavy weight in his heart!Over the years, he has been busy working hard, and he has indeed lost his love for his daughter, neglected her education, and lacked a real spiritual communication with her.But the daughter is still a child after all.It's a child, who doesn't have such and such shortcomings?As a child, what shortcomings can't be forgiven?In fact, in Ouyang's mind, my daughter is a good child with many advantages, such as being smart, clever, kind, innocent, and capable of expressing things; also, after all, my daughter grew up in a military compound. Although she has a stubborn temper, she is eager to learn. Motivated, there is a spirit of being competitive and never admitting defeat in your bones. Even if you do something wrong, you dare to do it.So he couldn't help reaching out and stroking his daughter's forehead, and said silently in his heart: "Little Tingting, my good daughter, you are the pride of my parents, and my parents believe in you!"I believe that you will become a useful person to society when you grow up! Ouyang, with red and swollen eyes, suddenly drove back to the small restaurant, and asked loudly, "Who is the boss here?" The couple surnamed Luo were frightened and said again and again: "I am, I am." The restaurant owner did not expect that Ouyang was To thank them: "Thank you for taking in my daughter." Ouyang took out his pocket and gave the boss 800 yuan. This is really unexpected, ordinary people only have "hate" in their hearts at this time, how can they think of "grateful", from this point of view, it is really admirable. With this incident of running away from home, Ouyang was quite shocked.In order to keep the project and his daughter in balance, he discussed with his wife and decided to send his daughter to his hometown. They thought that this would allow his daughter to study quietly, and the second reason is that there are many relatives in his hometown so he can take care of him.The most important thing is that Ouyang thinks that Yunmeng's hometown in Hubei is a poor place, and children will not learn bad things there.Living and studying in such a remote and impoverished environment is a kind of training for her, but also a kind of spur and encouragement.So after some painstaking arrangements, her daughter Tingting was sent back to Jintan Middle School in Gepu Town, Yunmeng County. "Tingting went to study there, and she was placed in a rural school. I am a very face-saving person, and I didn't want people to know that Tingting was my daughter, so I changed her name to 'Zhang Ting'. The little guy was treated there. I have a lot of education and I am quite stable, but because of the limited educational conditions in the countryside, my child’s grades are still not improving. I was very anxious, and later I got my daughter back to Shenzhen, and transferred to the High School Attached to Shenzhen University through my relationship. This is a good middle school , after a year of living in the countryside, Tingting's heart is no longer so fluctuating, and her academic performance has improved significantly until the third year of junior high school. But when she was entering school, the child was afraid again, as if she had a test phobia, and I I'm so overwhelmed by the children's affairs..."
