Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2637 I want to tell you a story

After secretly sighing, Niu Xiaoqiang raised his glass with a smile: "To wish Wang Jun and Wang Xia success in the new year, let's toast together."

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses, then drank it down.

In the next banquet, everyone was more relaxed, especially Wang Yumei. Today is the happiest day she has ever had since her lover passed away due to illness.After finishing two bottles of soda, Wang Yumei offered to drink white wine.

Mountain people, regardless of gender, basically drink alcohol, and Wang Yumei is no exception.

The others did not dissuade them, everyone could see Wang Yumei's mood, and they didn't want to dampen her interest.

Wang Yumei poured herself a glass of wine, and toasted Fang Dongping first.

The two had established a relationship, looked at each other and drank the wine with a smile, everything was in silence.

Then Wang Yumei toasted Niu Xiaoqiang, thanking him for solving work problems for her children.

Niu Xiaoqiang said a few polite words, then raised his neck and drank his glass.

He hadn't drank Baogu Shao from his hometown for a long time, and he had already drank a lot before, so after this glass of wine, Niu Xiaoqiang already realized that he was a little drunk.

He took a few mouthfuls of food to relieve his discomfort, and then chatted with everyone.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Niu Xiaoqiang felt that everyone had drunk enough, so he got up and said goodbye.

Fang Dongping and Wang Yumei didn't stop him, they could see that Niu Xiaoqiang was a little dizzy, at this time, Niu Xiaoqiang should go back to rest earlier.

Fearing that something might happen to Niu Xiaoqiang on the road, Fang Dongping offered to personally escort Niu Xiaoqiang home.

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly declined, but turned to look at Li Lu: "Mr. Li, my master is getting old. It's not very safe to walk at night. I'd better give you a hard time."

Li Lu could probably guess that Niu Xiaoqiang wanted to get close to her tonight. Although she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, she nodded with a smile on the surface, reached out to hold Niu Xiaoqiang's arm, and helped him go out.

Wang Jun and Wang Xia originally wanted to escort Niu Xiaoqiang home, but considering that it was the first time they met Niu Xiaoqiang, they were embarrassed to say so.

When Li Lu helped Niu Xiaoqiang away, the siblings also bid farewell and left Fang Dongping's house.

After everyone left, Wang Yumei made Fang Dongping a cup of tea: "Old Fang, you sit down and drink tea to sober up, and I'll wash the dishes."

Fang Dongping nodded with a smile, looking at Wang Yumei's busy figure, he couldn't help thinking of Fang Mubai's mother.

Fang Mubai's mother is also a woman who is very good at housekeeping. She has a very good temper and supports her husband in his career.What's even more rare is that Fang Mubai's mother is also a high-level intellectual, and her thoughts and personal preferences fit her very well, making her an excellent match.

It's a pity that Fang Mubai's mother sacrificed her life in order to protect her reputation and safety during that turmoil.

Not only did my family suffer misfortune, but most of the professors in the university did not escape this catastrophe at that time, and more than 30.00% of the professors' families ended up with their families broken up.

Those who escaped by chance are also trembling all day long, for fear that they will say a wrong word or do a wrong thing, because this will make them the same as those colleagues who have already encountered misfortune, and eventually their families will be ruined.

Although Fang Dongping had recalled these things countless times, every time he thought of these things, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.

Fortunately, in the end, the clouds opened to see the moon, and everything returned to the normal track.But for those who have already suffered misfortune, there are some people and things that never come back.

"Old Fang, you, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Yumei glanced back inadvertently while washing the dishes, but she found that Fang Dongping was sitting on the sofa crying for some reason.

Wang Yumei hurriedly turned off the faucet, wiped her palms on the apron, walked quickly to Fang Dongping's side, and stretched out her sleeves to help Fang Dongping wipe away tears.

Fang Dongping sighed, and pulled Wang Yumei to sit down beside him: "Yumei, sit down, I want to tell you a story."

Fang Dongping wanted to tell each other the real reason why he and his daughter fell in love with Wang Yumei, and he didn't want to hide it from Wang Yumei.Since the two are going to be married, of course they have to be honest with each other.

Seeing Fang Dongping's solemn expression, Wang Yumei nodded nervously: "Speak, I will definitely listen carefully."

Fang Dongping hummed, sorted out some confused thoughts, and then slowly opened his mouth: "This story happened more than 40 years ago. At that time, New China had not yet been established. I still remember the summer of that year..."

Next, Fang Dongping told the story between himself and Fang Mubai's mother in the third person. Wang Yumei was very moved by this story, and couldn't stop crying after hearing it.

At the same time, she had already realized something, vaguely felt that the heroine in the story was actually Fang Dongping's former wife, and the hero in the story was Fang Dongping himself.

Thinking of the tragic experience of Fang Dongping and his wife, Wang Yumei suddenly felt that she was much, much luckier than him.At least her husband died of illness, and was not forced to death like Fang Dongping's wife.

From Wang Yumei's point of view, Fang Dongping's wife's death was so miserable that it was no different from the tragic events in the feudal society in the drama.She is a kind-hearted woman, out of pity and sympathy for Fang Dongping's tragic experience, Wang Yumei reached out and held Fang Dongping's palm unconsciously.

After Fang Dongping finished telling the story, he let out a long sigh: "I think you should be able to tell that this story is actually about my experience with my ex-wife, and I don't hide it from you. The reason why Mu Bai and I treat you so differently The main reason is that you look very similar to Mu Bai's mother. Seeing you now, I will unconsciously imagine what Mu Bai's mother would look like if she could reach your age. The reason why I tell you this story is mainly because I don't want to deceive you. I hope we can be honest with each other. Of course, if you can't accept this, I will never force it. I don't know what you think ?”

Wang Yumei smiled and patted the back of Fang Dongping's hand: "Old Fang, although I haven't read any books and don't have much knowledge, I can feel that you are a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. Only such a man is worth relying on. On the contrary, if you don't even miss such a good wife like you, then I will have thoughts about you, if you are really this kind of person, no matter how good your conditions are, I will never be willing to follow you. "
