Brother De parked the car opposite the compound, and Jiang Hua paid to get out. Brother De said enviously: "The people who can live here are the ones whose ancestral graves are smoking."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "What did we say before? The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts to ask your children to work harder. Maybe you can live in it one day in the future."
"Forget it." The driver said dejectedly: "The boy in our family has no future and is not as good as me. I'd better work harder and save more money. It would be great to live in a unit building in the future. I hope our family can That kid, we will have to live in a large courtyard in the future."
Jiang Hua walked into the yard with his bag. The driver said enviously: "How can the children in the alley be so lucky? I can't even think about living here."
As Jiang Hua expected, no one was at home at the moment. His father went to work, his wife went to school, and Zhong Yuemin was in eastern Guangdong. He didn't know when he would be back.
He made himself a cup of tea and lay on the sofa to rest for a while, but the more he drank, the hungrier he became. He hadn't eaten anything yet, so he picked up his wallet and Jiang Hua walked out.
On the way, the uncles and uncles in the yard saw Jiang Hua and greeted him warmly.
"Hua Zi, when did you come back?"
"Didn't you just come back?"
"Hua Zi, why did you come back so early this year?"
"I'm going to Shanghai to do some errands, so I won't go back to Xiangjiang. I'll come back early to celebrate the New Year."
"Now that you're the big boss, don't you have to work?"
"Hey, I've become a big boss, and I still have to work? How can being a boss be so interesting?"
"You are not dedicated at all. How can you do this at work?"
"I just need to do the general direction. If you ask me to do everything, I won't be as exhausted as Zhuge Liang."
I randomly found a snack bar on the street and made steaming dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onions. I also made Erliang Laobaigan, a plate of enema, and a plate of mixed with three shreds. My little life was so wonderful.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Hua swung his arms and walked along the road. Life in the capital is still slow-paced now, unlike in Xiangjiang, even though he no longer cares much about things. But the pace of life forced him to speed up involuntarily. It felt like he was busy every day, and he himself felt that there were days when he was not so comfortable.
It is now mid-December, and the flower growers will soon sign a joint statement with John Guo. It is estimated that Zhong Shanyue has been busy with this matter these days, not because of the content of the joint statement, but because the joint statement will cause a series of chain reactions. , especially in Hong Kong, where the impact may be the most severe, and we must be seriously concerned.
It was still early, Jiang Hua stood at the entrance of the alley with his hands folded, watching a few old men playing chess there.
"Young man, today is not Sunday. You have been standing here watching us play chess for an hour. Why don't you go to work?" an old man said with disgust.
"Working, what kind of class do you work on?" Jiang Hua said like a street kid: "How can it be fun to watch you guys playing chess at work?"
"If you don't make progress," another uncle said, "if young people don't work hard, you will never make a difference in your life. My son already lives in a building, do you have it?"
Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "But I bought a courtyard house with two entrances."
The uncle shook his head and said: "What's so good about living in a courtyard? I've been living there all my life, and I don't think it's any good. If you don't make progress, just be like me and live in a courtyard for the rest of your life."
Jiang Hua asked back: "No, uncle, your son has already bought a unit, why didn't he take you over?"
"General." After sinking the car, the old man shouted, and then said in disgust: "Go, go, go, stay here wherever it's cool, it's affecting my chess playing."
There is no doubt that Jiang Hua's words are like a dagger, piercing into the pit of his heart. His son has started a family, has a wife and children. How can one unit building accommodate so many people? He can only let him, a father, continue to live in the alley. Retirement.
Jiang Hua smiled and turned around to leave. He heard the people behind him laughing: "Old Liu, you are hurting me. You deserve it. Your son has a unit and you are allowed to show off in front of me. I will do the same if you show off again." ask you."
"Go, go, general, if you have a trick, you can't. If you don't, just admit defeat. Please drink tonight. Don't deal with it with loose wine."
"Old Liu, you can bring this chariot to my horse's mouth. Do you still want the general, and you will get it? Eat the chariot."
Jiang Hua smiled. He must have been like this in his later years. He was sitting at the entrance of the alley playing chess with Zheng Tong and Lao San. The bet was a meal of wine in the evening. These days were dull and practical.
After walking around outside again and buying some vegetables, Jiang Hua went home in a swaggering manner.
Before his father and wife came home, Jiang Hua started working in the kitchen. When he was almost done, Lan Jieying finally went home.
"Husband, why did you come back suddenly?"
Lan Jieying was so happy when she saw Jiang Hua that she pursued a baby swallow and jumped into Jiang Hua's arms.
"Didn't I go to the Magic City with Young Master Huo to do some business? I simply didn't go back and went straight home. I will spend more time with you at home this year."
"Honey, you're so kind, give me a kiss."
Lan Jieying pulled Jiang Hua to sit on the sofa, nestled in Jiang Hua's arms, coquettishly, and told her thoughts.
A breakup was better than a wedding. Lan Jieying had a lot to say to Jiang Hua, so Jiang Hua just hugged her and chatted for more than an hour.
It wasn't until Zhong Shanyue came back that he reluctantly left Jiang Hua's arms.
Zhong Shanyue was also surprised: "Why did you come back so early this year? You are on a business trip to the capital again. What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Nothing happened in Xiangjiang. I just came back earlier. I thought about transferring some of the work to other colleagues. In the future, my focus may not be on CITIC Group. Let others exercise more so that they can take on their responsibilities. .”
Zhong Shanyue shook his head: "I am over sixty years old and will retire soon, so I am passing on my work to others. You are only in your thirties, do you also want to enjoy retirement life?"
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "If possible, I can retire now. I have made enough money in my life. I can enjoy retirement life from now on and live comfortably for the rest of my life."

"Nonsense, work is just to make money. If you are capable, you should take on more responsibilities. Now the country is full of waste. If you want to give up your job, I will be the first to refuse. Even though I am over sixty now, but It’s okay to discount your legs.”
"You also said that you are over sixty, why are you still so grumpy? I just want to shift the focus of my work to the north. The country should develop Central China and North China, right?"
