good old days

Chapter 728 Ending
Jiang Xinyu took her children for a walk around the village. When she returned, she saw many villagers gathered in the yard, each holding tools to help clean her house.

The house had been cleaned after it was built, but a lot of dust had fallen within a few days.

The villagers came in to visit the yard when it was first built, and now they are still amazed when they see the large square second-floor villa covered with floor tiles, plain wallpaper, and a spacious and clean yard.

People in the village see Wang Sumei's life getting better and better every year, all because of her promising son.

"Su Mei, if no one comes back to your house all year round, do you still need to put furniture in the house? When no one lives here for a long time, will this yard be left here?"

Wang Sumei said happily: "We will bring all the furniture here tomorrow. If no one lives in it from now on, just leave it alone."

Her family bought a lot of yards, tidied them up and rented them out. As for this big yard in the countryside, I have no choice but to leave it empty.

Ma Meili enthusiastically invited: "Stay in my courtyard tonight, I'll cook more dishes, and we can get together."

Wang Sumei didn't like Ma Meili very much, and she had a ready reason for refusing, "It's no longer needed. Xiuyun's house has been cleaned. We'll stay there at night."

When Chen Xiuyun was mentioned, everyone asked her where she was.

Chen Xiuyun's fourth daughter is now two years old. Since she went to Jibei Province, she has never returned to the village once. Naturally, the villagers did not know that she had given birth to another child.

Wang Sumei knew what kind of people were in the village, so she only talked about Chen Xiuyun's current situation and only picked up the good news.

In the evening, Wang Sumei stewed a pot of firewood rice with bacon and beans, and the pickled cucumbers sent by others. The family ate very comfortably.

While sitting under the shed eating watermelon, Jiang Baoqin, who had opened the certificate, knocked on the courtyard door.

"Jiang Xinyu, I have news about Su Qingqing to tell you."

Su Qingqing?
Jiang Xinyu got up and followed her to the tree on the roadside.

In the past few years, she had been looking for Su Qingqing. She took Sun Jianwei's money and ran away. The police were also looking for her back then. They also went to the place where her father was reformed and her brother's place in Xinjiang Province to investigate, but she disappeared completely.

Jiang Baoqin avoided her eyes and looked at the green grass on the roadside and said: "What I told Chen Zhengyu is true. She was the one who stopped Song Minghan when you jumped into the river. You are okay after all. If you need to settle accounts with her, I will The little information I know tells you, if you don’t need it, forget it.”

Jiang Xinyu: "Just tell me."

The original owner's revenge must be avenged.

She took a large amount of money and left, and was caught and sent to jail.

"The last time I saw her was in March this year. She appeared in the wholesale market on Changqing North Road, Yangcheng City. She was surrounded by a man who pretended to be collecting protection fees from small traders. If you go to find her, be careful."

After talking about Su Qingqing, Jiang Baoqin took out a bankbook and said, "This is five thousand yuan. Please give it to Chen Zhengyu for me. I hurt him once in the past, and he helped me again in Yangcheng. This money is what I deserve." His, but I haven’t met him in the past few years, so please hand it over to him on my behalf. The password is."

Jiang Xinyu didn't answer, "I'll give you his address. You can send it to him directly."

Chen Zhengyu had just sent her a letter a while ago, saying that he wanted to go overseas to deal with real estate-related matters, and then his uncle called and asked her and Chen Yi to persuade him not to impulsively abandon his iron job. I haven’t contacted him for a month, and I don’t know what is going on with him now.

Jiang Baoqin nodded, "Okay, I'll send it to her myself."

Before turning around, she added: "I have opened two clothing stores in Shangdu. This is a discount card that gives you a 50% discount. You are welcome to go shopping."

Make some achievements and don't show off in front of the "old friends" of the past. It seems that the sense of accomplishment brought by any hard work is greatly reduced.

Jiang Xinyu thought that after she finished cleaning up the villa in the village and returned to the capital, she would find a way to find Su Qingqing's old photos, and then go to the police station to call the police.

There were so many mosquitoes in the village that Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yan had itchy bumps on their bodies when they woke up the next day.

Chen Yi filled the face wash for the mother and son, and when she heard the crying, yelling and cursing coming from outside, she almost lost the balance of the basin in her hand.

He didn't know what happened again. He sighed that the village was as lively as ever.

Wang Sumei poked her head out of the kitchen. She stopped cooking and went out to the yard to watch the excitement.

Jiang Xinyu said to Jiang Yan, "Let dad accompany you here to brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll go out and see what's going on."

Chen Yi was speechless. He also wanted to go out to see what happened, so he simply took his son and followed Jiang Xinyu out.

The source of the sound was in the fish pond over the public house. When I arrived, I saw Li Xiuhua's brother and sister-in-law sitting on the ground crying and cursing. People who came to watch the excitement saw the fish pond covered in white flowers.

The fine fish that were still swimming in the pond yesterday were floating on the water with their bellies turned over, and the white flowers looked shocking.

Li Xiuhua's sister-in-law still held two empty pesticide bottles in her hands and cursed: "What kind of unscrupulous person did this? It's so wicked, your whole family will die..."

Seeing this situation, Chen Yi simply walked back with the child in his arms.

Jiang Xinyu and Wang Sumei walked in front of him.

Wang Sumei shook her head: "I don't know who is so wicked, just like a fish in a pond."

Jiang Yan asked in confusion: "Why would someone be so bad?"

Jiang Xinyu: "Because some people can't bear to see other people's lives getting better and better, while their own family has not improved at all. Jealousy drives them to do bad things."

There are many people in this world who hate you for having, laugh at you for not having, despise you for being poor, and fear that you are rich.

Wang Sumei was still worried: "When we leave, no one will be jealous of us and destroy our house, right?"

Some people in the village were so bad that she regretted coming back to build a house.

No one can guarantee whether there will be sabotage. No one in the family can come back to develop the yard in the countryside, so they can only live like this.

After putting the furniture in, we cooked a meal in the new house to entertain the villagers with whom we had good connections, and drove to Shangdu the next day.

Zhang Hua works in the Bureau of Culture and Education, and Jiang Zhenzhen was transferred from the neighboring city to the Local Taxation Bureau in Shangdu in August last year. The couple and their two children are finally reunited, but the housing is not that spacious, and the family of four is squeezed into a thirty-year-old house. A few square meters of one room and one living room.

The TV was on in the small living room, and the group of people crowded the living room.

Jiang Zhenzhen looked at her watch and turned the TV to the Capital Channel. At this time, the Capital Channel was broadcasting a news program. Jiang Yuzhu, who was dressed in formal clothes, was broadcasting the news in a serious and orderly manner.

Today's programs are almost all recorded and broadcast. Jiang Yuzhu's ability to serve as the host on news programs is not only due to the Zhou family's relationship, but also her own abilities.

Unlike a few decades later, when everyone loved to watch various entertaining variety shows, the mainstream TV shows now are news programs in addition to TV series in specific time periods.

Jiang Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Yuzhu on the TV, turned to Jiang Xinyu and said, "I haven't seen her in several years. The people on TV look strange."

Not only the second sister, but also the younger sister Jiang Xinyu, these two sisters have changed quite a lot.

Compared to outsiders who don't like other people's good things, Jiang Zhenzhen naturally hopes that her two sisters' lives will get better and better.

But she used to be the best-married person in the village, but now among the three sisters, she seems to be the most inconspicuous one.

She felt a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged. Her job and future were not bad either.

Jiang Xinyu said: "You two should inquire carefully in the future. If you can buy a house, spend money to buy a bigger house."

Zhang Huadao: "When our level reaches a higher level and we can apply for a replacement apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, it will be spacious by then."

When Jiang Zhenzhen sent Jiang Xinyu out, Jiang Xinyu held her hand and said, "Whenever you are free, go and see your mother. My little sister is already two years old. Mom said she looks like you when you were a child, with a round face."

Jiang Zhenzhen nodded unnaturally, "Okay, don't worry about it, I know it all."

She has sent things to her mother during the holidays for the past two years or so. She didn't visit her because she didn't have time, but also because she was a bit embarrassed to go.

The fact has become a foregone conclusion. Her mother started a new family and gave birth to a daughter. She has not forgotten her in the past two years. Looking back on the past, she is a bit small-minded and indeed a bit selfish.

She has her own life, and she shouldn't ask for her mother to be around her all the time.

Back in the capital, Jiang Xinyu went to the police station and reported Su Qingqing's whereabouts.

The police comrade said: "Thank you for your cooperation. We will use her photo to find her for investigation."

Su Qingqing had been mixed up in many places in the past few years. After collecting the stolen money, she neither visited her biological father nor went back to join her biological mother and brother's family. She left the capital and went to the south.

She did have a good life with money in hand, but due to lack of social experience, she leaked money in other places and got into trouble. All the remaining money was robbed, leaving her penniless.

Later, I met a few social youths who specialized in collecting protection fees in the market, and I fell in love with one of them, and I lived a life of plenty of food and clothing without having to do anything.

He often followed his target around the market. It took the police much less time to go find Su Qingqing with the photos and Sun Jianwei than it did for Song Zhikun to catch Zhang Ling.

When Su Qingqing was arrested, she was "picking" clothes in the market. She was followed by a fool with yellow hair on the side of her neck. The stall owner could only consider himself unlucky but gave the clothes she picked out with a smile. she.

Although he lost a piece of clothing, it saved Huang Mao from bringing people to come to him for trouble.

Sun Jianwei's eyes turned red when he saw her. He grabbed her tightly and said with bloodshot eyes: "Su Qingqing, how dare you take all the money and run away. You have caused me so much pain. Are you still a human being?"

The plainclothes policeman was afraid that Sun Jianwei would do something irreparable, so he warned: "You are here to strive for meritorious service, don't be impulsive."

Sun Jianwei's rationality returned and his fists were clenched tightly.

Su Qingqing's face turned pale with fright. She tried to escape but failed. She could only be taken back to the capital by the police and paid the due price for what she had done.

...

Time flashed to 1987. When Jiang Xinyu was 28, her salary increased to 158 yuan per month. Due to her excellent work performance, her superiors gave her an opportunity to take charge of her own business.

Fu Qiaofa, who was sitting at his desk, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Go back and think about it carefully and discuss it with your family. This is a good opportunity and I don't want you to miss it."

Fu Qiaofa was undoubtedly satisfied with this apprentice.

He is able to endure hardships, learns languages ​​quickly, and has a good eye for things. He always tries his best to find out as much useful information as possible before negotiating with foreign guests. He is well prepared and can find other ways to save money for the country. Achieve their goals.

There are many advantages, and the disadvantages are also obvious.

This apprentice is hard-working, but her quality of life is clearly much higher than that of ordinary people. She is not low-key at all in her dressing and grooming. Her work unit always receives letters complaining about her, suspecting that she has stepped on a red line. As a result, after investigation, it was found that she does not live on salary at all. Her family has a rich financial background and all sources of income are formal. Moreover, the food company founded by her mother-in-law donates to the "Chunhe Foundation" every year, and was praised in News Daily. .

The social atmosphere is becoming more and more open. It is no longer the case a few years ago. Although bosses holding mobile phones and driving cars are not everywhere, households with ten thousand yuan are no longer new.

Jiang Xinyu went to school to pick up Jiang Yan after leaving work.

The young boy Jiang Yan got into the car with his schoolbag on his back, sat upright in the back seat and said, "Mom, don't drive the car to the school gate in the future."

Jiang Xinyu raised her eyebrows, "Why?"

Jiang Yan said seriously: "Not every student in the class has a car at home. I don't want to attract attention."

He had no idea how much money his family had before. Although he still doesn't know how much money his family has now, he knows that his family's life is pretty good.

Jiang Xinyu nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention in the future."

Compared with children who learn to compare at a young age, her children know how to keep a low profile. Jiang Xinyu feels that this child has a very upright character.

Jiang Yan had a smile on his face and talked about the trivial things that happened at school during the day.

Jiang Xinyu was not impatient at all and would answer words from time to time.

She travels abroad several times a year, and the time of each trip varies, but as long as she is in the capital, she tries her best to take her children to and from school.

When the little boy grew up, he was no longer alienated from her as a mother. Although he would not tell her everything in his life when he was growing up, there would always be endless things to say when he got along with her. Jiang Xinyu still Very satisfied with the parent-child status of the two of them.

At night, everyone in the family was together. After dinner, Jiang Xinyu said to everyone: "Now there is a good opportunity in front of me, and I would like to ask for your opinions."

Chen Yi was already in his early thirties, and his temperament became increasingly calm. He had no time to wait for her next step.

"Our unit has set up an office in Pengcheng, and the boss wants me to be the person in charge."

Wang Sumei's expression changed, "Then if you go, how long will it take for you to come back? If you don't come back for a long time, you and your wife will live in separate places. What will happen to Jiang Yan?"

Chen Yidao: "Mom, I'm going to take a leave of absence without pay and go overseas. I'll go with her."

In recent years, Jiang Xinyu has been very busy with work, and the time the couple spend together is not comparable to that in the past in the village.

After completing one goal, there is still another goal waiting for him, and the organization will not let him go at all.

She is busy, and so is he, but the two of them have a tacit understanding that they have the same attitude towards their children, and they will accompany their children whenever they are free.

Wang Sumei immediately objected: "I don't agree with your suspension and salary retention."

Compared with the important talents valued by the country, Wang Sumei hopes that her son will continue to be glorious, rather than chasing his daughter-in-law to a place as far away as Pengcheng.

"The family is not short of money. Our food company is busy enough. Why do you want to bother?"

Wang Sumei grabbed Jiang Xinyu's hand and asked seriously: "Daughter-in-law, do you have to go to Pengcheng?"

Jiang Xinyu felt somewhat hurt.

If it were Chen Yi who suggested this today, my mother-in-law would probably give her full support.

"Mom, I also want to make some achievements."

Pengcheng is one of the fastest-growing cities in the future. She will definitely make a difference there. In a few years, her level will rise to a big level.

She also has career ambitions now.

Wang Sumei took back her hand, "Okay, do whatever you want. I'm going back to the house to rest."

Jiang Xinyu knew that she was angry, but she didn't want to compromise.

Jiang Xinyu held Jiang Yan's shoulders and entered the study, followed by Chen Yi.

She asked directly: "Do you want to go to school in Pengcheng?"

Jiang Yan: "What about grandma? Should we leave her here alone?"

Jiang Xinyu said: "Of course I will take her with me. My family's company is on the right track. It's convenient to fly back and forth to deal with things. We won't miss her for a long time."

Jiang Yan was confused.

If I go there, won’t I be able to see my friends, classmates, and grandpa very often in the future?

Chen Yi touched his head and said, "Go back and think about it. I'll talk to your mother for a while."

The couple were the only ones left in the study. Jiang Xinyu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Your mother doesn't want me to go. She's angry. What do you say?"

She probably knew what her mother-in-law was thinking. It was human nature for people of the previous generation to pursue stability and not want to move. It would be quite troublesome to think about going there as a family.

Chen Yi, who is now in his early thirties, has not gained weight. His figure is still lean and tall, and his facial contours are a bit deeper because he is more mature.

He looked at her, whether she was seventeen years old, thirty-three years old, or twenty-eight years old now, her appearance was still the way he liked, and her temperament had become more confident and mature.

He grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, I told her not to worry about it."

Jiang Xinyu pulled out her hand: "The problem is not with me, but if you want to resign, she will definitely blame me."

She waited quietly for his answer.

If he said "going to the sea" was all for her, rationally she would think he was hypocritical.

But if not, she would definitely feel disappointed.

Chen Yi didn't know that there was a trap waiting for him ahead, so he said truthfully: "You don't have to worry about Mom. Your transfer to Pengcheng just gave me the opportunity to "go to sea". You don't have to worry about anything else."

"Most importantly, I think our family is always together."

His job is special, and she has to fly abroad several times a year for business trips. He thinks that their relationship has not faded over the years, but he doesn't want to live this kind of life anymore, with less together and more separation.

Faced with his honesty, she felt neither happy nor disappointed, so she slowly frowned.

He stretched out his hand to smooth her and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

She looked frustrated and her eyes were dull, "It's over, I feel like the relationship between us has turned into a family relationship."

Chen Yi was silent, and then said firmly: "I don't think so.

I will miss you when I can’t see you. I will think about buying things you will like when I go out and give them to you. I will worry if you are sick. If you are in a bad mood, I want to make you happy and have something happy. , I want to share with you as soon as possible, I am sure that I love you. "

Hearing what she just said, he felt a little hurt.

Her heart was pounding and she looked at him unblinkingly.

What he said also applies to her.

It turns out that the relationship has not faded, it's just that life has "distorted" it and caused her to have some kind of illusion.

When she slowly curved her lips, her body rose into the air and he held him in his lap. She subconsciously hugged his shoulders.

His breath came closer and closer until it engulfed hers.

"Don't love me anymore? Huh?"

Her face turned red, "I probably still like it."

"Just like it?"

Unable to escape his mischievous hand, she said bitterly: "I love you."

A bright moon hangs high in the dome, and the mottled shadows of the trees in the courtyard sway in the wind.

Wang Sumei stood in front of the window and watched the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind, and began to regret her previous attitude.

She is old after all and doesn't like an unstable life, but she shouldn't stop the younger generation in the family from trying to move forward.

Forget it, let them be.

On the eve of Jiang Xinyu's transfer to Pengcheng, Chen Jinhua celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday.

Feng Man and Wang Sumei had a tacit understanding and neither went.

Chen Jinhua's health has been bad in the past two years. It was not a birthday surgery, so there was no need to have a big event, but he was afraid that he wouldn't live for a few more years, so he decided to have a big event this year.

The TV series in the living room was playing "The Adventures of Duobao" which had been made into a cartoon and was very popular, and there were a bunch of children surrounding it.

Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu sat together and talked, watching Chen Jiajia appear with her husband and children, who were of the same family, to celebrate his birthday in front of Chen Jinhua.

Chen Jiajia got married three years ago and gave birth to a son a year ago.

When people's thoughts mature, it seems that they have changed a lot.

After returning to China, Chen Jiajia, who was annoying at first, carried her things and solemnly went to their house to apologize to her mother-in-law, her and Chen Yi. Her jaw almost dropped at that time.

It's really nice to see her again in the past few years. Although I haven't seen her a few times, she is much more polite than before and can communicate with people normally.

Time passes ruthlessly, and life is always full of trivial matters, but it is also filled with warmth and love. In such years with occasional small ups and downs, everyone spends their time steadily and peacefully year after year...

I wrote this ending quite emotionlessly. If it hadn't been for the recent accident in my life, I would definitely have been able to write hundreds of thousands more words. I've been so tired recently. I'm really sorry for the readers who have caught up to the end. Thank you for your support.
