Chapter 32

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

After the 38th National Congress of the Communist Party of

China, the 14th National Congress was held. During these days, he would get up

every morning and ride his bike to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy newspapers.

He knew that the 14th National Congress was still based on

what his master had to say. He found that the master's political sense was very

keen, and his views were relatively advanced.

In such an era of lack of information, and in such a small

city, it is really impossible for ordinary people to know about national events

so quickly.

He suspected that the master would buy and read newspapers

every day.

Wang Licheng now has a newspaper every day, and it was also

during this time that he developed the habit of reading newspapers every day.

Sure enough, the historical trajectory has not changed. The

meeting proposed economic reforms. Starting in May this year, the market

economy will be gradually implemented nationwide.

A month later, the list of the first batch of laid-off

workers in the city's knitting factory was released, and it was not unusual for

the master to have Wang Licheng in there.

The latest batch of laid-offs must be workers with poor

performance and short working years.

Wang Licheng found the master in the dormitory, and the

master had already started packing.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"You should have seen the list. I've been laid off. Of

course, I'm going to pack up and leave."

"No master, how could you possibly be laid off?"

He knew his situation. He asked for leave many times last

year, and the factory had long been dissatisfied with him, but the master was

different. He was an old master and did not make any mistakes.

"I proposed it on my own initiative. Licheng, the

master wants to go home."

The efficiency of this work in the factory was particularly

high. On the third day, he and the master received the compensation for

layoffs. Wang Licheng also wanted to invite the master to live in his house for

a while. He wanted to talk to the master about some of his thoughts and listen

to his opinions but the master insisted on returning to Tang Town immediately.

Tang Town is a small town in Pucheng, where the master was

assigned back then.

It takes an hour to go to Tangzhen by car. After getting off

the car, they walked for 20 minutes to a dilapidated house with a fence,

surrounded by weeds.

The master insisted on leaving, but he couldn't stop him, so

he could only send the master back.

The house was dilapidated and full of cobwebs. It took him

and his master two hours to sort out one of the rooms. The living room and

kitchen were only roughly cleaned.

An old man came in the afternoon, he stared at the master

and questioned directly. "Why are you still coming back!"

"Dad, this is my home. I'll come back to accompany

Huihui and the mother and daughter. I won't leave again."

This was the reason; why he come back.

When he went to the countryside to Tang Town, he was

unaccustomed to the soil and water and often fell ill. Afterwards, his health

recovered, and the village chief knew that he was a literate person and was

weak, and asked him to teach at school.

He somehow met Huihui, the village chief's youngest

daughter.

Huihui fell in love with this Baijing teacher, and often

came over to listen to lectures under the pretext.

In the second year of Shifu's arrival in Tangzhen, the

national college entrance examination was resumed. On the eve of the college

entrance examination, he was ill with a high fever for a month because he

stayed up all night to review continuously, and he missed the college entrance

examination.

During his illness, Huihuiyi took care of him for a month.

His illness was healed, but Huihui's reputation was bad. The

master went to the village chief's house to propose marriage to Huihui. At that

time, he was just an educated youth who had nothing, so why should he marry

Huihui?

The house under their feet is a new house built for them by

the village chief.

In the second year of the resumption of the college entrance

examination, the master successfully participated in the college entrance

examination. He was admitted to Jinghua University in the capital with the

first grade in Lanzhou.

In August, the master set foot on the train to the capital

with the travel expenses raised for him by the village chief's family.

He didn't know that, as soon as he walked on the front foot,

Huihui found out that she was pregnant. Huihui happily wrote him a letter to

announce the good news, and the aunt next door told him every day in the

village that the educated youth from the next village had left his wife and

daughter after he was admitted to university.

Huihui did not believe it, and insisted on writing to the

master, but the letter was lost in the sea, and there was no reply.

When Huihui was about nine months pregnant, she gave birth

prematurely and died of dystocia. The letter she was thinking about never came.

She gave up on her own during the delivery, and she died in the end.

After the master arrived at the school, he sent a letter to

the village, and the return address was not his own address.

He had thought about not going back to Tang Town again, but

he was afraid that Huihui would have a bad life in the village.

When the freshman semester started, he went to that address

to get all his letters back. He was overjoyed when he opened the letter and

learned that Huihui was pregnant. He immediately replied to the letter, and

when he received the letter again, it was the news of one death and two lives.

The letter was a week late, just a week late.

He went back to Tang Town that summer and lived in their

tiny house for two months.

After graduation, he went back to Tangzhen and cut off contact

with his former home.

Now that he's back, he just wants to take good care of

Huihui's mother and daughter.

"Licheng, go back! Treat your wife well and don't

regret it in the future."

When Wang Licheng came out, the village chief was waiting

for him on the road to the town. He asked about some of the masters and left

with tears in his eyes.

He was waiting on the side of the road for the car back to

the city. A man who claimed to be Brother Huihui came over and asked about his

relationship with his master, then turned to leave. Wang Licheng took him to

ask about the master, and he told Wang Licheng the story of the master and

Huihui.

After the Lantern Festival, Wang Licheng and Luo Zhongyong

kept in touch by phone. Yesterday, Luo Zhongyong called and said that Liang

Lixue asked him to buy skin care products and send them to her.

This is good news, at least it shows that Liang Lixue has no

objection to Luo Zhongyong and is not unwilling to have any contact.

He learned from Xiao Hongyan that Liang Lixue did not dress

the same for a week, and he knew that Liang Lixue paid great attention to her

appearance and loved to dress up. Beauty-loving women like clothes and skin

care products the most, and make-up is not yet popular.

Wang Licheng asked him to send a few more latest fashion

dresses to Liang Lixue together.

Let Luo Zhongyong slowly infiltrate Liang Lixue's life and

be pervasive.

After being laid off, Wang Licheng stayed in Jiangcheng for

half of the time, and he needed to find new business opportunities. The opportunity

to make clothing has not yet come, and he must accumulate a certain amount of

funds before that.

When Wang Licheng went to Jiangcheng every week, something

happened to Chen Derong's house in their store.

Ma Hongying packed up and went to Chen Derong's house.

That day, Chen Derong was still helping Xiao Hongyan order

goods in the store. When he returned home, he found that Ma Hongying was at his

house and even lived in his room.

"Derong, I'm pregnant, you haven't been here for half a

month, I'm afraid someone will find out if my belly is big..."

He was stunned when he heard the word pregnancy, how could

it be, Xiao Hongyan was not pregnant, how could Ma Hongying be pregnant.

"Gouji, why are you still standing? You still don't

help your daughter-in-law come over and sit down."

She was a little confused at first about this

daughter-in-law who suddenly came to the door. The girl looked older than her

son and looked so-so, but does things quickly, is a diligent person. For the

sake of her grandson and her diligence, she quickly accepted Ma Hongying as a

daughter-in-law.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" How

could Mom say that Ma Hongying is his daughter-in-law? He just felt that it was

a good day now.

"What nonsense, is it your son in Hongying's

belly?" It was her daughter-in-law, and she would never allow her son to

be abandoned.

"Yes, but..."

"No but you make some arrangements these days and the

wine will be done first." The villagers had a lively meal together, and

let them all get to know her daughter-in-law.

This matter was settled. The wedding day was scheduled for

June 1st. Chen Derong didn't tell Wang Licheng and Mazi, only the people in

their village knew that he was married.

At the end of June, Wang Licheng saw a piece of news about

"Master Wang" investing in instant noodles to build a factory in a

small section of the People's Daily. He jumped up excitedly.

If you can get the distribution right at this time, think about

the market share of this brand in later generations.

Wang Licheng immediately called Luo Zhongyong, who was still

in the capital. He decided to go to the capital to find Luo Zhongyong first,

and then diverted to Yanjing.

He knows how capable he is when he wants to get the agency

distribution rights in Lan Province, whether it is manpower or funds, he is too

far behind.

He can't do it, someone else can do it. Luo Zhongyong has a

powerful person in Jiangcheng. If you bring him to join the team, the chances

of winning will be doubled.

That night, Wang Licheng told Xiao Hongyan that he was going

to the capital and then to Yanjing.

"When will I go? I'll have a vacation in ten days. Can

I go with you?" The school is about to end the summer vacation, and she

wants to go with Wang Licheng.

Since Wang Licheng was laid off, he spends half of the week

in Jiangcheng, and sometimes spends the night in Jiangcheng and does not come

back.

In addition to going to work every day, she often sees the

store to sort out the goods list when she goes home without others.

"What if we've all left the store? It's the peak sales

season for Xeli Li, and I can rest assured if you look at me."

Wang Licheng asked his uncle Xiao Jianjun to find a

relationship to buy a card and go to the capital on the evening of July 3rd

by hard seat train ticket. Before leaving, he settled everything at home and

spent two days with Xiao Hongyan.

After getting married, except for the period of marriage

leave, there are many things every day after that. After being laid off, Wang

Licheng lost an income. At the end of last year, the basic salary of Chen

Derong and Mazi increased to 100 Yuan and did not drop this year. He was under

increasing pressure.

He didn't know when Xiao Hongyan would start her career. On

the one hand, he was worried that she would go too high and too far, and he

would not be able to keep up with her pace. On the other hand, he is worried

that his appearance will affect her career.

The only way out is to work hard to make money.

The two had a good time at night, and tomorrow Wang Licheng

was leaving.

"Will I accompany you to Jiangcheng?" He was a

train ticket for the evening. Wang Licheng would definitely not agree to watch

him get on the train. It is always possible to accompany him to Jiangcheng!

"No, I don't worry about you coming back by car alone;

I will come back as soon as possible."

How to do it as soon as possible, the eldest brother said

that it would take more than 30 hours to go to the capital by train, and Wang

Licheng had to go to Yanjing. It took several days to go back and forth by car,

and I didn't say that I had something to do.

"Well, you pay attention to safety outside, don't worry

about your home." What else can she say; is it unreasonable to make

trouble and not let him go?

She felt that the family was doing fine this way, and the

business in the store was stable, even if he was laid off. Why should you care

about the opinions of outsiders?

Not long after they set up the wine shop, Wang Licheng was

laid off. During this time, she always heard some gossip, laughing at her, and

causing her man to lose his job just after getting married.

Dad also called her home and asked her to comfort Wang

Licheng more. He also said that men need to save face. He might be in a bad

mood during this time, so she should follow him more.

The outsiders said it as if the sky was falling, and the

mother-in-law and Wang Li looked like they were all right. She couldn't tell if

Wang Licheng was really in a bad mood.

In the past, gift orders from the factory were shipped

directly from Jiangcheng to the factory. Wang Licheng's store looked livelier

during the New Year's Eve. Usually, it was mostly wholesale. There were no

crowds in the store and it was relatively deserted.

Outsiders may not know the profit of their store, thinking

that if Wang Licheng loses his job and receives less salary; their family life

will be much more difficult.

It happened that Wang Licheng's actions verified their

ideas. After being laid off, I run outside all day, not running for life but

doing something.

She also can't be humane to the outside world. Can you tell

everyone that the store is very profitable, they live well, you think too much.

"Well, wait for me at home."
