Lao Tzu is a toad

Chapter 145 Winter Grass
It turns out that Zhao Sanjin guessed wrong, and Zhao Jiadi just asked to lend him the "waste paper" regularly.

Zhao Sanjin froze for a moment, and said that's all?Zhao Jiadi nodded.Zhao Sanjin said no problem, then pointed to a stack of materials on the desk in the distance, and said that I just finished reading it, and I haven't had time to throw it away. It is about some draft real estate policies that will be officially introduced next year at the earliest.Zhao Jiadi rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but say that a real estate developer like you, who is just a gamer, doesn't know how much money he makes every day, so think about how much for the common people, and cut corners less.

Zhao Sanjin smiled and said, okay, I will open a group meeting later, and call the bosses of the two companies to Yanjing. After this topic is settled, I will say that this year will benefit the people.Zhao Jiadi almost collapsed. He was full of slander for the nouveau riche, so he hurriedly took the information and fled.

Zhao Sanjin has a little habit that makes people laugh and cry. Once he is interested in a certain project or a certain unfamiliar field, he disdains or is too lazy to explore it himself. His mantra is to cross the river by feeling the stones, which is the most stupid What a businessman does, the first thing he does is to ask the authoritative person in that field to submit information and experience, at least two copies, one of success experience, one of failure experience, of course, the price is astronomical, often a ten thousand By estimating the industry, he will be able to shell out hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, which can be called a real deal, and it has been agreed in advance that if this industry brings profits to Jinhai, there will be dividends afterwards, God knows In the past 20 years, how many poor scholars and schoolteachers got rid of poverty and became rich overnight because of Zhao Taizu's whim, or went straight from the well-to-do class to the middle class.

There was once a joke that was widely circulated among Jinhai’s senior executives. About seven or eight years ago, a professor from Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business gave Zhao Sanjin a hype marketing plan about scarce resources through some means. He made a lot of money on the bloodstone, except for the 40 cash given earlier, and then he sent two BMWs over.Therefore, Zhao Jiadi often speculates whether Zhao Sanjin has privately established a large-scale think tank that is relatively loose but powerful enough over the years. This organization may never surface, and it may be mixed, but maybe one day it will be able to give Jin Hai The power point of industry creation.

Zhao Jiadi returned to the room with the materials. The child bride-in-law had already filled the bathtub with water. He was lying in it, flipping through the expensive materials that cost six figures or seven figures. For an hour, it wasn't until Qi Dongcao knocked on the door that he realized that the water was a bit cold, so he quickly covered a certain part with materials, and Zhao Jiadi laughed and said, "I'll get up right away."Qi Dongcao blushed slightly and went back to the bedroom. Zhao Jiadi wiped his body indiscriminately, put on a bathrobe, and went outside. The sister-in-law of the child daughter-in-law was sitting at the desk reading Zhao Jiadi's "Twelve Lectures on Power". There is a notebook specially used for writing excerpts and post-reading reflections. The pen is still the one used to correct homework in Guanyin Village, and the paint has peeled off.

Zhao Jiadi moved a chair and sat on the side, Qi Dongcao put down the book, and complained softly that she didn't wipe her hair clean, she was about to get up to get a towel, but was pulled into her arms by Zhao Jiadi, but Zhao Jiadi didn't follow up Move, just hug her gently, close your eyes, and smell her unique body fragrance. She never wears perfume or shampoo, at most she uses a kind of soap, which is said to be mixed with many traditional Chinese medicines. In the beginning, it was only used in small circles. Two years ago, a top-level private club was opened in Yanjing specially for rich wives. It was well received, and then it gradually spread.

Every inch of Qi Dongcao's body and skin is like creamy jade. She pays attention to every detail and treats herself well. She doesn't wear high heels, fur, overeating, smoking, drinking or staying up late, so she doesn't care about appearing in any public place , always flawless, like a piece of porcelain kept in the Forbidden City with red walls, you can only look at it from a distance, and you will be amazed by the flying fairy of Dunhuang.

In Zhao Jiadi's world, what makes Aunt Cai strong is her aura, what makes Pei Luo stand out is her young woman's charm and charming figure, what makes Yuan Shu with ponytail endearing is her persistence and simplicity, and she is no longer as she was when she first saw her. Tailed red carp, what Zhao Jiadi recalls most is that she sat on a stage far away, holding a guitar, singing the song "Children" with the sound of nature, and her pair of ethereal eyes.

As for the woman he was holding, Zhao Jiadi was already taller than her when she was in high school, but at 1.6 meters five, she would never wear high heels to create an aura. In Zhao Baliang's heart, she seemed to be a lifetime Sister, winter grass, winter grass, small grass in winter.

This night, they lay face to face under the quilt, Zhao Jiadi said, and she listened.

Later, when she really didn't feel sleepy, Qi Dongcao said that I brought you a package, which was a letter sent to you by the children of Guanyin Village.Zhao Jiadi smiled and said, "Why don't I read it to you?" She nodded. She was wearing pajamas on her light bed and went to unpack the package. There were a total of 30 letters. Zhao Jiadi went to the county for the last time before leaving Guanyin Village. With the little salary left, I bought stamps and envelopes, more than 180 copies, and all the stamps were stamped, six per person.Because for the children there, a few or a dozen yuan is not an amount that can be hypocritical or ignored. The address Zhao Jiadi gave was Zhaojia Village, because if it is sent to the school, Li Feng is responsible for getting the letter, and it is inevitable that they will find out With clues and clues, Zhao Jiadi didn't want anyone to talk too much about this quiet teaching experience, and he didn't want anyone to use it as someone's talking point.

His stubbornness is not only towards the red carp, his elder sister Wang Banjin, but also the child bride-in-law and even grandma beside him. Stay wholeheartedly on that barren land, only talking to a certain girl, drinking, smoking, in a daze, teaching, playing tunes with leaves.He was even willing or dare not call Wang Banjin and Qi Dongcao, because that little fox has always been a silly kid who likes to eat sour grapes. First, he didn't want to make her sleepy feel a little wronged, not even a little bit.

When he was in Guanyin Village, Zhao Jiadi recalled many things that he hadn’t thought deeply about before, such as when his biological mother insisted on giving birth to Zhao Sanjin when he went to the Northeast, and was poked on the spine and splashed with dirty water. I don't like this daughter-in-law, and she has been reduced to such an accident that even her own family members are not treated well. This is the root cause of Zhao Jiadi's lack of affection for his grandparents' family.

Zhao Sanjin has been gone for so many years, never sent a letter, never made a phone call, as if he died.But mother still gritted her teeth and persisted.Going forward, grandma, Lafayette of the Zhao family, after grandpa Zhao Shanhu brought the second grandma back from Shanghai, was still willing to fight with those revolutionary young generals who wanted to put a high hat on their men with a big belly and a kitchen knife.Zhao Baliang lived in such a family that was full of absurdity, exaggeration, treachery, but also not lacking in warmth, so he was willing to devote himself to the ponytail and made a sensation in the whole school. Only the buddies like Sparrow knew it. Love letters are the most among the crowd, even more than the good-looking Shang sparrow and the little boy Huang Hua. The eight-year-old uncle and ponytail in high school were once recognized as talented scholars and beautiful ladies. A talented man who can fight, in those youthful years, after Zhao Jiadi was stabbed, whenever he walked in the corridor, it was a sea of ​​attention, coupled with a bunch of bold schoolgirls booing, it was spectacular and exciting. brilliant.It's a pity that all the love letters back then were stopped by a certain girl and burned to ashes.So Zhao Jiadi was willing to fall in love with a girl with eyes similar to his mother's at first sight, thinking that such a girl would be a good boy who could persevere to the end, just like he said that if he didn't talk to Zhao Sanjin, he would be a stranger for six years.

Which one of the old Zhao's family is not ruthless?
Even brother Zhao Yan is the kind of stubborn guy who can go to Yanjing alone to sleep in Zhao Sanjin's office and eat instant noodles for a whole week when he is wronged at the age of six or seven.

He has not moved Yuan Shu, just watched her grow.I'm afraid Emperor Yang Qing looked at Aunt Cai in the same way back then.

Hu Li Zeng grinned, showing her small canine teeth, and asked Ba Liang with fluttering eyes, didn't you always say that you can only love one, you can like a basket, or you also like me one, one more is not much.Zhao Jia was the first to reply in a serious manner and said, get out of here, I don't harm you because I like you, don't be dissatisfied.In case you can't think about it in the future and become my mistress Xiaomi's stepmother in a fit of rage, you have to call your mother even with me, it's no big deal.That time Hu Li just let out an oh and stopped talking.

After returning from Sichuan, Zhao Jiadi would occasionally be in a daze.

This is the case now, Qi Dongcao patiently waited for him to come back to his senses.

Zhao Jiadi continued to read those letters full of childish innocence.

The children in Guanyin Village are very sensible because they are poor, especially because of Mr. Hu. If they were not simple and kind, these children would not have followed Mr. Hu for such a long distance when he was sent to the county town. , followed the tractor, and finally on the streets of the village, looking at the bus in the dust, weeping together.Zhao Jiadi doesn't know whether they will all be successful in the future, but he hopes that these 30 smart or not, obedient or not obedient children can keep their simplicity.

Before leaving, he was asked by the children to attend the last lesson on the playground of Brand New Hope Primary School. Zhao Jiadi, who is not good at speaking and speaking, told them that you will go out of the village first and then out of the countryside like Teacher Zhao. , When you walk out of the county town and go to big cities, you will work hard, you will be bullied, you will give but you will not be rewarded, you will cry but no one cares, maybe one day, you will feel that it is stupid to do what Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhao do. If there is such a day, it means that you have grown up. At that time, no matter whether others call you worldly or snobbish, Mr. Zhao wants to tell you a truth for Mr. Hu. Only when a person is responsible for himself can he be qualified to care about his parents and himself The responsible person is responsible, and you live a good life, which makes Teacher Hu happier than visiting her on Teacher Hu's grave every year.

After saying those last words that day, Zhao Jiadi felt his whole being was hollowed out, empty, like a wandering ghost.

Now reading the children's immature letters, talking about the most common little things, Zhao Jiadi gradually became fuller.Feeling that there is something to say, she put the letter away, put it on the bedside, put her hands on the back of her head, and said softly: "Hu Li joked before that if she becomes my wife, if she finds out that she is having an affair one day, she will kill her." Go find the father of my affair partner, be a vixen, break up her family, no matter how old her father is, marry him, and then make me and the person I am having an affair call her mother. I just thought this girl was really crazy, It’s unreasonable. I’m willing to do this kind of act of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating ten thousand. Later, I felt that some women are also the same. I said at the beginning that I could give her happiness and asked her to wait for four years. In fact, some aspects did it. , but there are other things I can't do. A girl, especially a girl like her who is always proud and high-spirited, it's too late for ordinary men to hold her in the palm of her hand. How can she disappear for a whole year for another girl? Sister Dongcao, put your heart into it ,dont you agree?"

"Yes." Qi Dongcao nodded and said, "But there are always some things. It's not good to always think about comparing your heart to your heart. Grandma said that when it comes to feelings, one of two people will always suffer. A lifetime is a long time. A good man you like suffers, and such a disadvantage is a blessing."

If you don't say this, Zhao Jiadi will feel that it is too illusory and empty, but it is golden and jade good words to say from the mouth of the grandma who has never been willing to endure hardships all her life.

"Baliang, will you still struggle in the remaining two and a half years of college?"

"Yes. I've decided to go to Hangzhou to do private equity. But it doesn't have to be done by myself. I have an impulsive idea now. I won't talk about it for now. I will tell you when I make up my mind. I will be the first one with you." Say."

"For yourself this time?"

"kindness."

Zhao Jiadi nodded.

"Ba Liang has not only grown up, but also matured." Qi Dongcao smiled softly.

Zhao Jia said solemnly for the first time: "The other thing is to show people like Wang Chunfeng, Xu Zhenhong, and Wang Shufeng, so that they don't think about you. Especially that Wang Chunfeng, no matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye. If it wasn't for Uncle Wang's son, I would have died a long time ago." Swing a brick up and shoot him."

"..."

"Sister Dongcao, why are you still wearing pajamas?"

"I've always been like this."

"It's a bad habit."

"..."

For a long time, for a long time, it seemed like a few lifetimes had passed.

Qi Dongcao looked at Zhao Jiadi who was breathing slowly with his eyes closed, and asked softly, "Are you still asleep?"

Zhao Jiadi opened his eyes and smiled, "You are not the same."

Qi Dongcao hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Actually, she still likes you. I know."

Zhao Jiadi closed his eyes and said, "I know too."

Qi Dongcao lowered her eyebrows, unable to see her expression clearly, and said, "Are you actually waiting for her to explain?"

Zhao Jiadi shook his head and said: "She won't, she's such a proud girl. Besides, she really didn't do anything wrong. This is what I say in my heart, but I can only tell you, not grandma and Zhao Sanjin. , because they are afraid that they will be even more resentful towards her and her family."

Qi Dongcao murmured: "Baliang, do you blame me?"

Zhao Jiadi rested his chin on her head, smelled her unique fragrance, and said, "It's not strange, not at all, no matter what Sister Dongcao does, I won't be angry. Hehe, if Wang Banjin is here If not, it must be too much today."

Qi Dongcao hugged him tightly, like a silent grass, no matter the wind, snow or rain, it took root deeply.

But it seems that the only woman who can compete with this seemingly fragile grass is a vixen named Wang.
