Chapter 1149: Met an Acquaintance
On the way back, Liang Linan called and asked if his mother had arrived in Dongzhou. He still missed her.
After talking to his son, Xu Jiaan immediately realized that it was his son who revealed his itinerary.
Xu Jiaan came back this time just to be quiet. Some time ago, her family had experienced unprecedented changes. Xu Jiaan's heart was greatly hit. She began to reflect on her past actions and even on the education of her children.
She has always believed that she is successful in this regard. Her children all graduated from prestigious universities and have enviable jobs. However, in the face of reality, her so-called pride was torn to pieces. Xu Jiaan also saw some things clearly. If her nephew Xu Chunliang had not come to help, the dignity of their Liang family would be completely untied and thrown on the ground, and even trampled and spit on.
The reason why Xu Jiaan made such an extreme move at the beginning was because she saw that her husband and son were unreliable. If she wanted to seek justice for her daughter, she could only rely on herself.
Xu Jiaan sat in the back seat, recalling the incident, and sighed softly: "Chunliang, thank you for the family affairs of my aunt."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Aunt, we are talking about family affairs, is there any need to be so formal? Grandpa doesn't know what happened specifically."
Xu Jiaan nodded and said: "I know what to say."
Xu Chunliang said: "Is my cousin okay?"
Xu Jiaan said: "She has returned to work. It always takes a process to forget some things. This is the case for her and for me."
Xu Chunliang said: "Aunt, please stay for a few more days this time. I will go to Nanjiang for training tomorrow. You can just accompany grandpa when you come."
Xu Jiaan said: "Training?"
Xu Chunliang gave a simple explanation of his current work situation to his aunt. Xu Jiaan was secretly ashamed that she cared too little about this nephew. In the past, she had a prejudice against this only nephew, thinking that Xu Chunliang was not good at studying and was not motivated. This was also due to the psychological bias caused by the old man's preference for Xu Chunliang.
But now, Xu Chunliang is undoubtedly the most promising one among the younger generations.
Xu Jiaan said: "I heard that your father came back a while ago. Is he still in Dongzhou?"
Xu Chunliang said: "He is a mysterious person who is hard to find. God knows where he is."
Xu Jiaan laughed: "You know what, you look a bit like him when he was young."
Xu Chunliang said: "Aunt, don't be so shabby."
Both the aunt and the nephew laughed.
Seeing his daughter come back, Xu Changshan was happy and sad. He was happy that the father and daughter were reunited, but sad that his daughter was obviously old. Recently, he heard that she and her husband were getting a divorce, and a lot of things happened at home.
Xu Changshan always thought that his eldest daughter was a little selfish, but despite this, he also hoped that his daughter's family would be happy.
When Xu Jiaan saw his father, all the grievances during this period came to his mind. He called him dad, rushed over and hugged him tightly, and tears fell down uncontrollably.
Xu Changshan was startled, then hugged his daughter and said softly: "Jia'an, it's good to be back."
Xu Chunliang saw the look on his aunt's face and knew that what he had said on the way was basically useless. In fact, he could understand it. After all, she had experienced too many things during this period and suffered too many grievances.
Xu Chunliang went back to his room first, giving the father and daughter a separate space.
Tomorrow he will go to Dongjiang for training. Xu Chunliang plans to drive there, and some things still need to be packed.
While packing his luggage, Pan Junfeng called and wanted to invite him to dinner in the evening. The appointment has been officially made. Pan Junfeng knew very well that if it weren't for Xu Chunliang this time, the position of deputy director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital would not fall on him anyway, so he wanted to thank him and have a small private gathering.
Xu Chunliang told her that he was going to Nanjiang tomorrow, and that relatives had come to his house, so he must have a family dinner today.
After hearing this, Pan Junfeng postponed the party and waited until Xu Chunliang came back from Nanjiang.
Xu Chunliang gave Pan Junfeng a shot in advance, asking him to be prepared to face difficulties. Pan Junfeng used to be the vice president, and there was Zhang Yunqing above him.
Based on Xu Chunliang's experience dealing with Zhang Yunqing, this person has some routines, loves face, and has a strong sense of revenge. Pan Junfeng and Xu Chunliang both came from infectious disease hospitals, and their friendship is no secret. It is not ruled out that Zhang Yunqing may create obstacles for Pan Junfeng.
Pan Junfeng said: "Thank you for your reminder, brother. I am ready to face difficulties."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Zhang Yunqing is not a three-headed and six-armed Vajra Arhat. Although the previous counterfeit drugs in the Chinese Hospital did not shake his position, it also proved that he had big problems in management. The breakdown of cooperation with our Civil Affairs Hospital further proved that this person was blindly confident in doing things. Even a cooked duck can fly, his ability is just so-so."
Pan Junfeng said: "I will never let my brother down."
Xu Chunliang laughed. Pan Junfeng did not seem to be talking to his brother, but more like expressing his position to the leader.
Pan Junfeng himself smiled embarrassedly.
Xu Chunliang said: "Pan, do you know what I hope for you? I hope you can replace Zhang Yunqing."
Pan Junfeng himself also hopes so, but he has just arrived at the Chinese Medicine Hospital, and it is too hasty to replace Zhang Yunqing now.
When Xu Chunliang went downstairs, he saw that his grandfather and aunt were already preparing meals in the kitchen. Xu Chunliang said: "Eat at home?"
Xu Changshan said: "What if? Are you tired of eating out all day?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I am also planning to invite my aunt to have a meal in the spring at the lakeside."
Xu Jia'an said: "I'm not going. I brought some special braised vegetables from Shanghai and Hainan. Eat them while they're fresh. They won't taste good in the refrigerator."
Xu Changshan asked Xu Chunliang to call Zheng Pei'an over. Although Zheng Pei'an had not officially become his second son-in-law, Xu Changshan already regarded his only disciple as a relative in his heart.
Zheng Pei'an was obviously a little listless when he came over. He also brought dishes. He wanted to help in the kitchen, but Xu Changshan kicked him out. The father and daughter were having fun cooking together and didn't want him to ruin the atmosphere.
Zheng Peian went to the yard to smoke alone.
As soon as the cigarette was in his mouth, a hand from the side stretched out and lit it for him. Zheng Pei'an knew it was Xu Chunliang without even looking, and said with emotion: "He is the office director after all. He really has a good eye."
Xu Chunliang became happy: "I kindly helped you light your cigarette, why did you still scold me?"
Zheng Pei'an said: "I'm not scolding you, I'm praising you. Nowadays, society needs to be well-rounded, otherwise it's easy to suffer losses."
Xu Chunliang noticed something was wrong with Zheng Pei'an's mood: "What happened? My sister-in-law is ignoring you?"
Zheng Pei'an said: "I asked you, can you please be kind to me? I have lived for most of my life, my career is over, and you still want me to fail in love."
Xu Chunliang said: "My career has just begun, why is it over?"
Zheng Pei'an let out a long sigh and said: "The hospital called my name at the conference and said that I am in two different places. I don't understand. I have many practices, and I went to work at Changshan Hospital." During the break, I wasn’t late or absent from work, and I wasn’t slacking off at work. Why did they say that to me?”
Xu Chunliang said: "You want to take care of both sides, but in the end you don't want to please both sides."
Zheng Pei'an's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't be disinclined to listen to what I say. You have to learn from Sister Tang in this regard. She is very courageous. If she feels unhappy, she will leave immediately."
Zheng Pei'an said: "I will retire in more than ten years. It's a pity that I quit my job now."
Xu Chunliang could also understand his thoughts: "In the past, I didn't understand why you were so kind to my sister-in-law, but you could never move her. Now I understand."
"What do you understand? You understand nothing!" Zheng Pei'an was a little anxious.
Xu Chunliang smiled and left, and Zheng Pei'an chased after him: "Don't leave, you kid is suffocating me to death."
Pu Jian has been in Dongzhou recently. He heard that Xu Chunliang was going to Nanjiang, and he wanted to go with him. Xu Chunliang naturally agreed. Dongzhou is more than 300 kilometers from Nanjiang, so it would be good to have someone to accompany him.
Especially Pu Jian, his mouth was never idle.
Pu Jian recently accompanied Huang Wanglin to inspect many historical sites in Dongzhou. By chance, he also met Xue Anning and her father, Xue Renzhong, known as Nan Xue.
Xu Chunliang has not contacted Xue Renzhong since the last time he met him. Xu Chunliang put forward the condition of helping him treat his illness, but Xue Renzhong did not agree on the spot and still has not given Xu Chunliang a definite reply.
Recently, Xu Chunliang was busy with matters in the bureau and did not pay attention to Xue Renzhong's condition. He only occasionally heard his grandfather mention the progress of his condition. In short, Xue Renzhong did not leave Dongzhou, which also means that Xue Renzhong identified Xu Chunliang. Being able to cure his disease is still under consideration.
Xu Chunliang was not in a hurry, the initiative was in his hands anyway.
Pu Jian suggested that he get off the expressway at noon and eat fish fried dumplings, which he was most craving for.
Xu Chunliang was not in a hurry anyway, so he rushed to the hotel and arrived at the old store by the lake that Pu Jian said. When he arrived, he saw that the entrance to the farmhouse restaurant by the lake was already full of cars.
The two finally found a parking space. When they were about to drive in, a Buick commercial vehicle rushed into the parking space first.
Pu Jian became anxious, swore in his mouth, opened the car door, and went to argue.
Several people got off the commercial vehicle. Xu Chunliang saw that there was someone he knew inside. It was Jiang Qiyong, the top leader of Guquan Town.
Jiang Qiyong was happily talking to a few people around him.
Pu Jian rushed forward: "Is there anyone like you? We were here first, and you took the parking space."
The driver got out of the commercial vehicle. He was a dark and burly man. He looked at Pu Jian fiercely: "I saw it first."
Xu Chunliang lowered the window: "Secretary Jiang, it's you!"
