The sky is full of stars; At night, everything is silent. Rows of tall poplars in villages and roadsides are silent under the dim starlight, as if asleep. The yard was as quiet as an empty Yuan Ye, and only one or two crickets were warily chirping in the dark corner. The curtain of the lighted room hangs down and covers the window tightly, and a faint halo emerges in the curtain, indicating that the owner did not sleep or stay up late.
The woman in the room looks in her early forties and smart. Her surname is Gao, and everyone calls her General Manager Gao. She sat at the computer desk, looked at the data in the electronic table on the computer, checked one by one, stood up from time to time to look at the construction drawings on the desk, and sometimes thought hard. She is about to contract a project, which is bigger than previous projects and is sure to win. Therefore, she attached great importance to it and personally reviewed the bidding documents for fear of negligence or mistakes, especially being cautious about the quotation. If the quotation is low, it will be in vain. If Party A is unwilling to improve, it cannot win the bid. Only by choosing a suitable price acceptable to both parties can we be sure of winning the bid. She rubbed her tired eyes, stood up and patted her on the back. After sitting for a long time, her back hurts. Open the curtains, open the door, walk into the yard and stretch. It's autumn now, and the night in the north is chilly, so I can't help shivering. She took a deep breath of the stagnant air at midnight, refreshed and refreshed. Looking up at the deep sky, thoughtfully. The night is quiet, and I can hear my heartbeat. She suddenly remembered something, crept to the diagonally opposite window, put her ear close to the window, and there was no sound in the room, then quietly returned to the room and sat in front of the computer.
After a while, another door opened diagonally opposite, and a tall figure appeared at the door. That man is her husband, surnamed Li. The emperor did not call him by his name, but called him Li Shifu. Li Shifu stood in the yard, looking at the lights on in the opposite room, shaking his head and sighing. Since his wife started a construction company and became the boss, he took his son who was in junior high school back to his hometown in Hunan. He took his wife to the northern metropolis to work hard and help her, but he knew nothing about the company and could not help. She is so busy all day that she hardly has time to rest. He sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart, but his heart is willing but unable to do so.
Li Shifu walked softly to the door with the light on and stopped when she lifted the curtain. He went back to his room, turned on the light, made a cup of coffee, took the coffee into Mr. Gao's office and put it on the table. Mr. Gao is absorbed in checking the quotation. When he heard the sound, he turned and looked up and saw his husband in pajamas standing behind him. He said softly, "Why don't you sleep?" Li Shifu scolded his wife: "How can I sleep when you stay up late every day? Come on, drink your coffee and warm yourself up. Go to sleep, I don't want to sleep too long. " Mr. Gao took Li Shifu's hand and said apologetically, "Go ahead. I'm almost finished. I'll come later. " Mr. Gao looked at the steaming coffee on the table, picked up the cup and tasted it slowly. He took a deep look at the back of her husband's departure. He drank not only coffee, but also moved and happy, and his heart was warm.
It is another sunny day, and the sky is clear and vast. This is a typical northern farm courtyard. A low wall with a doorway in the middle divides the courtyard into front and back rooms, which was rented by Emperor Gaozong as the office and accommodation of the company. Before moving here, no one lived here for a long time, so they sent someone to redecorate and redecorate the yard to make it look brand new. A tall poplar tree near the partition wall is flourishing, and there is an exquisite lounge chair below, which can be shaken constantly and is very reassuring. Large glass windows, grass-green window lattice, white or pink curtains are elegant and fashionable, which complement each other with white walls and gray tiles. There are many flowers and plants planted under the walls of the hospital, and bloom is in full bloom. On the right side of the gate, on the side of the partition wall, there are two small vegetable plots, which are planted with peppers, eggplant, loofah and cowpeas, with fruitful results. In my spare time, I grow vegetables, flowers and grass, so I don't have a taste. They like the environment here. This is a suburb and a demonstration village for new rural construction, with convenient transportation, beautiful environment and fresh air. There are supermarkets, hotels and markets in the village, which are popular once a week. Usually you can go for a walk in the wild, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside, stay away from the noise and feel comfortable.
Mr. Gao got up early, stood in front of the mirror and simply cleaned up, only to find that wrinkles climbed up the corner of his eyes, his eyes were black and his face was dim, and he sighed gently. Into the yard, ready to drive to the city construction site, there are many things waiting for her to do. Get off as soon as you get on the bus and walk into the diagonally opposite room. "Mom, how do you feel?" She asked her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law gave her a look and said sadly, "Nothing, don't worry. Did you stay up late again last night? " ? Look, your eyes are swollen. "
"It's okay, mom, I'm leaving and let Li Shifu take care of you." Mr. Gao said as he walked out of the room. When he was about to drive, Li Shifu heard the car start and ran out of the room. He chased the car and said, "I'm ready for breakfast." You can eat before you go. " Mr. Gao poked his head out of the window and said, "Stop eating, there is no time." Li Shifu asked again, "Why don't I go to the construction site for you?" "Don't be like a bitch. I have to go. There are other things you can't do. " The car went out of the gate, drove into the morning glow and disappeared.
Li Shifu stood in the yard, most of the time leng, don't understand the wife is completely different during the day and night, gentle at night, strong during the day, the in the mind is not a taste. But it doesn't matter if you get used to it.
Another night. The moon has climbed to the top of the mountain, and the courtyard is full of moonlight like water. Mr. Gao just drove back and felt a little tired. She called Li Shifu and asked her to move the food she bought in the car into the kitchen and cook some home cooking. Some friends are coming here to attend the party tonight. Then she went into the office and put a pile of materials on the table. She went out and went straight to her mother-in-law's room. I haven't seen her all day. She is thinking about her mother-in-law and can't help worrying. When she entered the door, she was hale and hearty, and she couldn't show any fatigue in front of the old man, so as not to worry him. A few years ago, my mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed and needed care. I have been working hard outside these years and I am not at home all the year round. I didn't take good care of my mother-in-law, and I didn't fulfill my filial piety. I feel deeply guilty. Since she brought her mother-in-law to this city the year before last, she has taken care of her mother-in-law personally as long as she is at home. This is her compulsory course in the evening. She and her mother-in-law have deep feelings.
When I just opened the door and left the room, I found that my mother-in-law's room was dark. She complained to her husband that she didn't serve people so well and didn't turn on the light for her mother. As soon as the light is turned on, the light fills the whole room, full of warmth. She put away her tiredness and stood in front of the bed, turned over her mother-in-law, brushed her body with water, massaged her whole body, and changed clothes and sheets. Everything is so focused, and every movement is so gentle. After that, I still took my mother-in-law's hand and asked questions while rubbing. My mother-in-law looks at such a daughter-in-law every day, and a warm current rushes all over her body, staring at her with a pity smile, and tears of happiness fill her eyes. ......
In the hospital, the lights are brilliant. There is a big round table and a dozen green plastic stools in the middle of the backyard, and there is a barbecue iron stove in front of the front yard window. Company employees Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang are making a fire and preparing for a barbecue. Li Shifu is busy in the kitchen. Cooking is his specialty. Although he is tired, it is also a kind of enjoyment. There are many wives and friends, especially after moving here. Those friends come here every once in a while and often get together here, which is also the time for him to show off. It is worthwhile to watch his friends eat with relish and listen to their compliments.
After friends arrived one after another, hometown dishes and delicious dishes were put on the table, and the aroma was overflowing and filled the whole courtyard. A dozen people gathered around a table, which was crowded but lively. The dinner began, presided over by general manager Wu, of course. Wu is always the boss of a company, in his early thirties, young and promising, eloquent, sweet-talking, and very popular. On the table, he spat lotus flowers, made witty remarks, and was humorous, which made everyone present laugh. He is not only generous in drinking, but also good at persuading people to drink. In a word, there will be no ice when he is present, but only climax after climax.
After three glasses of wine, I got up and went to the kitchen, served my meal, went into my mother-in-law's room, and came out to call the kitchen. High total face unhappy, blame Li Shifu, "chicken pieces didn't stew rotten, call mom how to eat? You know mom has a bad mouth, why don't you stew for a while? " Li Shifu felt very wronged, the time was too short, it was too late. I muttered, hey, so good to my mother, so fierce to me. However, grievances are wronged, and she is also good for her mother. At this thought, the resentment in her heart vanished and she was calm again. She quickly put some chicken pieces in the pressure cooker and stewed them for a while.
A few minutes later, Li Shifu went back to the kitchen to see if the chicken was cooked. If it's too bad, it's tasteless. General Gao followed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, husband!" Don't take your attitude to heart. " Li Shifu's heart swelled slightly, but he still pretended nothing and said, "You are also doing your mother good. I am not so stingy, nothing. " After that, I gave my wife a deep look.
When Mr. Gao came to the wine table again, the wine was drunk, and Mr. Wu was persuading them to invite Mr. Wang, their eldest brother, to drink. Manager Gao immediately stopped it on the spot. Don't persuade Wang Ju to drink. Don't let him drink too much. Don't you know his capacity for liquor? Mr. Wu said disapprovingly, "Sister, don't worry about me. I advised my brother to drink some wine, because our brother is happy today and you can't spoil our fun. " Mr. Gao's attitude is very firm. "You can't be happy. If you are unhappy, you will be happy every day. If you are drunk, you can ignore everything tomorrow, and Wang Bureau will have to work tomorrow. You have to listen to me here and drink less. "
Mr. Wu heard that Mr. Gao was a little unhappy and had to accept it as soon as possible. He respected the elder sister very much and squinted and said, "Well, I'll listen to her and do what she says." Every time you come to my sister's house, you take good care of me. Why are you taking care of me? Because you are my sister, you are closer than your own sister. Sometimes I have a problem with my sister. I am too strict, but too mean. I always want to get together with my sister and have a drink, just like going home. Such a quiet yard, such a good sister, I didn't go anywhere, so I came ... "Mr. Wu is very talkative. He talks too much when he drinks too much, and he is emotional and has tears in his eyes.
Mr. Wu is absolutely right. Everyone is willing to come here whether invited or not. No matter how busy they are, they will come as soon as they hear about the party. If they don't have a chance, they should create an opportunity to get together under some excuse. The pace of modern society is too fast and the pressure is too great. We need to find a place to relax our nerves and adjust our mood. It is the general high affinity and environment here that brings everyone together here. It has become an "entertainment center" and feels at home.
It was late at night and the party was over. Mr. Wu still seems to be in a state of excitement. He excitedly said to Mr. Gao, "Sister, I can't go back tonight. Where do I sleep? " Mr. Gao suspects that they drink too much and don't care about their health. He pretended to be angry and said, "There are too many people to sleep tonight." Mr. Wu didn't care about Mr. Gao's "anger" at all, but still smiled and said, "Then I'll sleep in my car. It's very comfortable to sleep in it." Mr. Gao finished packing and saw Mr. Wu and them sleeping in the car one by one. Mr. Gao was surprised. Hey, I really slept in the car. That's obedience. I don't even listen to me when I drink. It's really worrying. In autumn night, sleeping in the car is easy to catch a cold. High total call Li Shifu will help them to the bed, cover the quilt.
I am a distant relative of Wang Ju, and I admire and envy Wang Ju very much. He is the most accomplished among us. Once we went to his city, Mr. Gao warmly received us and let us live in the city for a few days. One night, she gave a banquet in the yard to entertain Wang Ju and us, and invited some of her friends. The lights in the yard are like day, which is a sleepless night for us.
Mr. Gao told me something about the Wang Bureau while they were sleeping. She said solemnly, "As a friend, I have to tell you the truth."
"Don't look at the important position of Wang Ju. He was very successful. Everyone envies him. In fact, his heart is very bitter. Only two or three of our very good friends know about him, and he is deeply hidden. "
I asked, "Why?"
General Gao said calmly: "Wang Bureau used to lend money to his friends to do business, and borrowed more than 600,000 yuan. As a result, business failed, Yang Zong was heavily in debt and people disappeared. The relationship between Wang Ju and his wife is not good. After his wife found out, she made trouble with him, sent text messages to every relative, including the leader of the unit, and sometimes disturbed others in the middle of the night, saying that the Wang Bureau was wrong. It's ugly. It's endless. Even often go to the unit of the Wang Bureau to make trouble, making the Wang Bureau "notorious" in the unit and unable to lift its head. Leaders avoid it for fear of getting into trouble and affecting his work and career. His wife's behavior is simply unreasonable. "
Speaking of this, Mr. Gao is a little excited and resentful, and his face is more rosy because of excitement.
Mr. Gao continued: "Their marriage has existed in name only, and there is nothing he can do. For the sake of his daughter and face, he can pretend to smile and continue. He has no place to talk about his sufferings, so he can only talk to me from time to time. On several occasions, he said that he wanted to become a monk and spend the rest of his life in an unknown place. A man, a man who seems to be very successful, would not have this idea if he was not extremely disappointed with life. " Mr. Gao's eyes are full of tears, shining in the light. In order not to let me find out, he lowered his head and pretended to blow his nose.
After a pause, Mr. Gao said, "A few friends and I took the lead in collecting more than 600,000 yuan, plugging his' hole' first and trying to save him from his pain. But Wang Ju said he wouldn't do anything because he was too proud to be pitied by others. I said I would lend it to him first and then pay it back slowly, but he just disagreed and didn't want to owe me this favor. Well, I can't help it. It pains me to watch him go on like this every day! " Tears blurred General Gao's eyes again, and she turned to wipe them away. ...
Finally, Miss Gao told us: "Don't tell anyone. This is what Wang Bureau told me repeatedly. Because you are his relative, I must tell you. "
……
It won't light up until morning, because we are going to play far away and have to get up early. This can disturb the high manager with the light on in his office. She arranged for the driver to take us to the scenic spot. When the car drove out of the yard, I saw the lights in the rearview mirror. The bright lights lit up the yard together, and the light of humanity shone into everyone's heart. ...
