I was lying on the warm quilt, Lonnie nestled in my arms, coaxing my daughter to sleep. Looking at the mother and daughter, I couldn't help but smile.
The years are quiet, men farm and women weave, and wives and children work hard. This is the life that many people dream of.
Compared to the intrigues outside, this kind of life is the real life of a fairy!
"Xiao Chengzi, I'm going to have an operation on my mother tomorrow. I still need 50,000 yuan. You should think of a way quickly."
I was immersed in wonderful thoughts when Lonnie suddenly poked my chest and whispered.
"Surgery? Mom is sick?"
I was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? You even forgot about mom's illness?"
Lonnie rolled her eyes at me and said, "I went to the hospital for a checkup last month. Didn't the doctor say it was cancer..."
"The doctor suggested that we go to the provincial capital hospital for surgery. I have inquired about it. The cost there is very high, at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan!"
Lonnie said with a sad face: "The family only has a total of 20,000 yuan now. Xiao Chengzi, you should think of a way."
I never expected that such a big thing would happen in the seemingly peaceful home, and I suddenly became anxious.
"Okay, I'll collect the money tomorrow. I have to let mom do the surgery no matter what."
The next day, I begged my grandfather to sue my grandma and borrowed money all over the village. In the end, I only borrowed less than 10,000 yuan. When I got home, I looked sad and didn't know how to explain it to my father.
Before she reached the door of her house, Lonnie walked quickly from outside the village.
"Xiao Chengzi, don't worry, I've already collected enough money!"
As she said that, Lonnie took out a cloth bag and after opening it, there was actually a thick wad of cash inside.
"Ni, where did you get so much money?"
"I called my hometown and asked my father to wire a sum of money. I just went to the bank to withdraw it!"
Lonnie said with a smile: "I think I have enough money now, so hurry up and arrange an operation for mom!"
Seeing Lonnie's tired face with a tired look on her face, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart.
I immediately realized in my mind that the nearest bank was more than thirty miles away from our village, and there was no vehicle access. Lonnie should have set off after breakfast and walked thirty miles of mountain road before withdrawing the money!
"Ni, thank you!"
I held Lonnie in my arms, feeling extremely moved.
"I will never let you down in this life!"
Lonnie smiled sweetly: "Okay, I know, I have never regretted it since the day I married you."
"Hurry up and arrange surgery for mom!"
"Um!"
I nodded, then pulled Lonnie and walked quickly home.
…
My mother's surgery was successful. After a few months of recuperation at home, she recovered as before. This made me gradually feel relieved.
Later, in order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Lonnie and I went to the county town and started working to earn money. Later, we set up a stall to do business. It actually grew bigger and bigger. Within three years, we established a trading company.
In this way, I transformed into one of the richest people in the county.
Somehow, I gradually got used to the life of working hard in the shopping mall. I spent every day in the wine shop, completely forgetting why I came here.
Every day when I got home, Lonnie would heat up the food and wait for me to eat it. Then she would help me take off my clothes when I was drunk, take a hot bath, and then help me go back to bed to sleep.
I didn't feel much about this, but took it for granted that Lonnie was taking care of me.
In fact, looking at Lonnie who was getting fatter and less dressed up, I even gradually became a little bored with her.
During this period, in order to expand the scale, I recruited a group of college students who graduated from provincial cities to join my company.
Among them, there was a female college student named Song Lili. She was young, beautiful, and tall. The first time I saw her, I felt inexplicably familiar, as if I had seen her before.
But when I thought about it carefully, I felt a headache again and couldn't remember it.
Song Lili is smart, studious, and very diligent, and she quickly gained my appreciation.
One night, I was reading dozens of files in the office. Then I stretched out and walked out, only to see that the lights in the office area were still on.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw Song Lili working at her desk. She was so focused on her work that she didn't even notice me walking over.
I wanted to see how her plan was written, so I quietly leaned over and craned my neck to watch.
At this moment, Song Lili is facing away from me, writing furiously, her long silky hair is lazily hanging behind her, and her white swan neck is looming under her long hair, which makes people dazzled by the sight.
Suddenly, a vague fragrance penetrated my nose, making my heart move and create a ripple.
The youthful aura exuded by a young girl is indeed tempting enough to make my heart beat wildly.
Song Lili seemed to feel something and turned around suddenly, almost bumping into me. She was so frightened that she quickly stood up and apologized to me in a hurry.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry..."
I smiled and waved my hands and said, "I didn't scare you. Why are you still working so late?"
Seeing my friendly attitude, Song Lili also calmed down and explained: "The project book you asked me to write has not been completed yet, so I thought about working overtime for a while and trying to finish it tonight."
I smiled and nodded: "Very good. Your work attitude deserves recognition. Bring it over and let me take a look."
After that, I picked up the plan, browsed it, and put forward my own opinions.
Song Lili stood aside, listening to my professional statement with admiration on her face.
"Mr. Cheng, your eloquent and confident temperament when you were imparting your experience to me just now is so charming!"
Song Lili said with admiration: "I think there should be no woman who doesn't like a mature man like you."
I was happy in my heart, but put on a humble expression.
"Lili, what are you talking about? There are many young talents who joined the company with you. Compared with them, I can only be regarded as a middle-aged greasy man."
Song Lili shook her head: "No, Mr. Cheng, you are too humble. Those young people are too impetuous and naive. How can they be compared with you?"
"In my opinion, not only are you not greasy, but you are full of masculine charm. You are my most admired idol!"
Song Lili's words made me feel carried away. I raised my wrist and glanced at the time. It was almost nine o'clock.
So I asked Song Lili to go home quickly and we would do the rest of the work tomorrow.
After finishing speaking, I walked out of the office area and went to the underground garage to drive out my Mercedes-Benz and prepare to go home.
But as soon as I got to the roadside, through the car window, I saw Song Lili standing on the roadside, looking forward to it.
"What, can't you get a taxi?"
I rolled down the window and said to Song Lili, "How about I take you back?"
Song Lili said quickly: "No need, Mr. Cheng. I'll wait a little longer and the taxi will probably be here soon!"
I saw her resolute attitude, so I didn't say anything more. I told her to be careful on the road, then I stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
