On the evening of May 31st, in the opening match of the World Cup, the defending champion France faced Senegal, the new African team that entered the World Cup for the first time and was nicknamed the French second team.
Liang Jiangtao watched this game at home. He was very impressed by this game in his previous life because France's top star Zidane missed the game due to injury and ended up losing 1-0 in an upset, which paved the way for the final failure to qualify for the group stage.
After the start, everything was very similar to his memory. Zidane was absent and the game started with countless fans cheering for the Gallic Rooster.
In the 30th minute, Senegal midfielder Diop fell to the ground and shot the ball into the net. Senegal led France 1-0.
The whole place was in an uproar!
Liang Jiangtao breathed a sigh of relief, just as he remembered, and his clenched fists couldn't help but sweat.
France stepped up its offensive in the second half, while Senegal threatened its opponents with counterattacks.
But no one scored again.
The score was finally fixed at 1:0!
The next day was the Brazilian team's game, and then the Chinese team's game. The results were the same as in the memory!
Liang Jiangtao breathed a complete sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
The first big money-making business is basically completed!
There was no news from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He quietly called Sun Ping and asked when he would be able to join the company. Sun Ping said he would have to wait a little longer.
Personnel issues involve very complicated procedures. In addition to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the Human Resources Department also has to go through the procedures. During this process, we will inevitably have to wait for other provincial Party committee departments. According to usual practice, it is estimated to be early July.
Liang Jiangtao knew what he was doing. This way, he could basically take care of the money matters and then work with peace of mind.
Before going to work, I had to rent a house near the provincial party committee compound.
The computer he bought was already installed, and Liang Jiangtao went to China Unicom to get dial-up Internet access.
After traveling for so long, he finally went online for the first time. Liang Jiangtao was so excited that he almost cried.
However, the Internet speed in this era is really crazy, and it takes some time to get used to it.
Liang Jiangtao checked the US stocks and found that NetEase has now risen to US$1.37. When the sports lottery money is available, he should open a US stock account as soon as possible and buy NetEase stocks.
Then I visited the Tianya community and registered an account called "Ren Yida". In this era, the Internet did not have a real-name system, and people could post whatever they wanted. Liang Jiangtao felt a little uncomfortable.
He thought for a while and posted, "Prediction: Brazil wins the championship, South Korea advances to the semi-finals, and China loses all three games and scores 0 goals."
In addition to predicting the results, he also made a decent analysis and then went offline to the vegetable market.
Taking advantage of this period of time before going to work, Liang Jiangtao prepared to honor his parents. He went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables every day, and cooked at home, making delicious dishes in various ways, such as tomato stewed beef brisket, pork knuckle stewed ribs, chicken soup... ...
Liang Jiangtao likes stew, which he started to learn after he was 30 years old in his previous life. As long as the ingredients are fresh and simmered slowly for two or three hours, the meat will be soft and tender, which is the best taste in the world.
My mother Wang Ying was stunned. When did my eldest son become so sensible?
Moreover, the cooked food tastes really good.
Coupled with the Jinshan series of high-end wines, dad Liang Wei said it was a fairy-like day.
A few days ago, Liang Jiangtao went to the mall and bought two boxes of fine wine and four sticks of Yuxi cigarettes to honor his father.
Dad has worked hard all his life to support their family. He has suffered too much and has never enjoyed happiness. His only hobby is drinking wine and smoking cigarettes. Now that Liang Jiangtao has money, he must eat and drink well.
Originally, he wanted to buy Maotai, Wuliangye, Zhonghua, and Suyan according to his temper, but he gave up after thinking that his father would definitely feel uncomfortable.
As expected, Liang Wei immediately complained after seeing these cigarettes and alcohol: "You can't even use such good things to treat guests. Isn't it a waste if I drink! No!"
At Liang Jiangtao's insistence, Liang Weicai accepted it half-heartedly. However, the good wine still tasted good, and he beamed with joy after a few glasses of wine.
Liang Jiangtao was filled with joy when he saw his parents happy. In his previous life, he endured the pain of his son wanting to support him but not being able to get close to him, and he had to make up for it in this life.
This is family happiness!
"Dad, let me have a drink with you!"
Liang Jiangtao took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, with a blush on his face.
He is a very light drinker and is born without hangover enzymes. He only drinks 2-3 taels of 53-proof liquor.
Of course, this is the amount of alcohol I drank after training in my previous life. Now I will probably vomit in less than 2 taels.
"Hahaha! My son bought me wine, so I have to drink it!" Liang Wei also drank it in one gulp, then lit a Yuxi drink and puffed away.
"Stop smoking. If you wake up in the morning and vomit every day, be careful of heart and lung problems!" Wang Ying was nagging at the side.
"Nothing, I just slept a little late recently. As for whether something goes wrong, it depends on life. What's the point of a man not drinking or smoking? Besides, the boss bought this for me. I have to smoke it all. I won’t give up my son to anyone else!” Liang Wei was in a surprisingly good mood and said with a red face.
"Okay, okay, you have got Shang Fang's sword, be careful that your son learns from you!" Wang Ying nodded Liang Wei's head with his hand.
They have been married for so many years, and their relationship has not faded, but has become deeper and deeper.
Liang Jiangtao looked at his parents with a smile, smelling the smell of cigarettes with envy on his face. In his previous life, he started smoking after he went to the county party committee research office. After writing materials for many years, he has never left his hand and is a famous smoker in the office.
At most, two packs a day are not enough.
But he knew that smoking was not a good thing.
Therefore, after rebirth, I did not pick up cigarettes immediately, but wanted to see if I could quit.
The last few times someone asked him to smoke, he couldn't control himself, but he still managed to restrain himself.
Alas, no wonder people say that the difficulty in quitting smoking is not only physical dependence, but more importantly, mental addiction.
Liang Jiangtao completely understood this truth. He had never touched a cigarette in this body, but he still wanted to smoke when he saw a cigarette. The reason was the addiction he brought from his previous life...
Forget it, just take it as long as you can, but if you really can’t help it, you’ll break the precept...
In addition to spending time with his parents, Liang Jiangtao also insists on exercising. He gets up early every morning and goes for a run. This is a habit he has developed since high school. Sometimes he goes to the nearby basketball court to play basketball in the afternoon to stretch his muscles.
The body is the capital of revolution!
Exercise for one hour every day, work healthily for fifty years, and live happily for a lifetime!
Liang Jiangtao took it upon himself to practice the purpose of "civilizing his spirit and barbarizing his body".
He knew that his health was even more important when he entered an organization like the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
It is normal to work overtime and stay up late to push manuscripts and go on emergency business trips. All kinds of urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks are commonplace.
How can I take on a big responsibility if my body can't bear it? How to talk about progress?
