Chapter 587 Provocation
Children are always so carefree. It is still bright after dinner. The children from four to eight years old are wearing vests, shorts, slippers and sandals, exposing their dark little feet. It’s not that I don’t wash my feet, it’s that I can’t keep them after washing them. There was still a dirt road outside the alley, and the dust raised while running mixed with the sweat produced made the feet dirty.
There was a child facing the wall, with his hands folded on the wall, his head pressed against his arms, his eyes open and looking at the ground under his feet. From time to time he would pretend to be uncomfortable and move his body, peeking at the situation on both sides. He was still talking loudly, counting from one to a hundred.
The other kids ran away in a hurry, hiding everywhere in the alley, which was not very long, and some even climbed up to the house, making the chickens and dogs jump. He also warned the counting boy not to look around, otherwise he would be called like this next time.
In this situation, one can tell at a glance that they are playing an ancient game that has been passed down for thousands of years, hide and seek.
As the counting boy struggled to count to one hundred, he ran away, but after a while, there was a burst of laughter. There are also children who have been caught, pouting and winking at the place where others are hiding, hoping that with this help, they will not be the first to be caught out next time. They already knew how to break the rules at a very young age...
Children have children's games, and adults have adult fun. On such a midsummer night, people are basically not bored at home, most of them stay outside.
Under the telegraph pole with a streetlight hanging not far from the door of Lao Guan Tou's house, there were still Lao Guan Tou, Uncle Guo and others, and they were inextricably killed. There were women holding small children, holding fans in their hands to fan mosquitoes and flies, and chatting with others. Talking about how life is, talking about the gentlemen in the family, talking about how the mother-in-law and father-in-law are doing, and talking about how the uncles and aunts in the family are doing.
Su Meng stared at the furry kid running on the roof with dangerous eyes. She stood chatting with Cai Xiaoli. The unlucky kid she was counting with was Han Chunming's son Han Yi. The one hiding on the roof was Wang Yan's son, Wang Bin.
Not far away, Wang Yan was sitting on his own horse by the wall, leaning his head against the wall, smiling and looking up at his son who was running happily on the roof without feeling any danger at all. Running on someone's roof is not only annoying, but also dangerous. For such a small child, if the fall is successful, the bones will be broken. If the fall is not successful, the neck will be crooked on the ground, and it will be gone with a bang. So no matter what, you can't run away from this high and low game.
Wang Yan is very happy to cultivate children's adventurous and brave spirit, but he also wants children to know what danger is. The reason why she didn't say anything now was because the child had already gone up and she couldn't scare the child at this time. It was obvious that Su Meng thought the same. But if it's really a bad fate and he fell down, there's nothing wrong with that. Bury them when they're dead, treat them when they're injured, and raise them when they're paralyzed. Although this is a child who died halfway, becoming his first child who did not grow up. But it doesn't matter. It's definitely uncomfortable, but it's definitely not life-threatening. After all, he didn't even know how many grandchildren he had given away, let alone sons...
He shook his head and turned to look at Han Chunming, who had just squatted beside him: "I went to Cha Piao Xiang to pack meals at noon today, and I happened to meet Xiao Ma there. This kid is getting married next month, and the place is right with you. The tea is fragrant. Save your time, don’t worry about finding someone when the time comes. Xiao Ma will have a lot of work to do. "
"Don't worry, how could I be so stupid?"
The two of them chatted all the time, either about antiques or business.
Or because of the change in trajectory, Han Chunming no longer picks up rags, nor does he follow Cai Xiaoli and Tao Zi to contact customers and earn the price difference by taking advantage of their work. Now that I am doing big business, I am traveling all over the place. Of course, I make more money and receive more things.
The children are getting older, so they don't have to worry too much, so Cai Xiaoli has already resigned. What she does every day is to run a business in the capital and keep a good home for Han Chunming.
This time Han Chunming's wealth will not be exposed so easily. To be honest, he is even richer now than he was two years later, in 1985, when he started selling cars. Until now, their family members don't know that Han Chunming is rich, and they don't even know much about the current situation. I always thought that Cai Xiaoli worked in a trading company and Han Chunming worked in a hardware company, but their schedules did not change much. Cai Xiaoli went to work as usual, leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. Han Chunming had to travel from time to time to run business when he was working in a hardware company.
If their family's living standard wasn't relatively high, it would be hard to tell how rich they were. Even if the standard of living is relatively high, people only eat meat every three to five days, and their families eat meat every meal. Of course there are problems with this, but it means that Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli can't survive. After all, the child is growing and I want to enjoy the blessings, so that's all. As for Han Chunming's two brothers, the old lady lived with them in the past, and they would not be as good as they are now.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Han Chunming's two brothers are unfilial. They give Han's mother some money every month so that her biological mother can eat and drink. This is also the right thing to do. Regardless of whether you can live well or not, your attitude must be there. In addition, Han's mother didn't want to live with them. Han Chunming, who had never had a good reputation since he was a child and was only a filial player, naturally didn't want his mother to suffer like that with his two brothers.
Just because it won't be exposed easily doesn't mean it won't be exposed. Humans are social animals. No matter how old they are or how powerful they are, they will inevitably have thoughts of arrogance, wanting their achievements to be seen, wanting to be recognized, and wanting people to praise them. This is A spiritual need that needs to be met.
Success will give people confidence and make them float. I don't know if Han Chunming had a convulsion and wanted to scream, or if he was proud of his words, he made people listen and watch, and then the news reached the old Han family. What's more, there is still a big-mouthed Meng Xiaoxing. At some point, I will hear some news, and there will be a meeting when I return to Lao Han's house.
In fact, Han Chunming was also in a dilemma. He didn't expect to make so much money at first, so he didn't speak up. Later, when he made more money, it became harder to speak up. At this moment, his brothers and sisters have not taken over his restaurant and divided his money. In fact, he is still okay with his brothers and sisters, and he is not deliberately hiding it. In the 1990s in the original drama, it was really deliberately concealed. It’s normal. As for what happened before, no one will make it public…
While the two were chatting, Cheng Jianjun appeared at the corner on his bicycle. Looking at the neighbors and Han Chunming's mother and wife who were outside, he rolled his eyes and realized this plan.
He deliberately pedaled a few times, stopped in front of Wang Yan and Han Chunming, and said loudly: "Chunming, I have told our team leader about the batch of goods that were detained. Don't worry, I will help you." Just keep an eye on it and I’ll give you news in the next two days.”
Wang Yan smiled. He had just thought that Han Chunming would not be exposed so easily. He also thought that even if he was exposed, Meng Xiaoxing would have to be a big mouth. He really didn't expect that Cheng Jianjun, who had been silent in the past few years, would take action.
Of course Cheng Jianjun has changed a lot. Instead of getting together with Cai Xiaoli, they both got married and had children. But as for the rest, the changes are relatively limited. I still went to a normal university and studied political education. Cheng's father asked his grandfather and grandma to help him get into the Audit Section of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He has been working there for a year now.
As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing can do it. Cheng Jianjun couldn't deal with Wang Yan and had nowhere to start, so he naturally turned to Han Chunming, whom he knew very well. He knew very well that with his job at Han Chunming Hardware Company, he would never be able to afford a motorcycle or provide for his family to eat meat every day, so he must have other livelihoods. But it has not yet reached that point of relaxation, and everything in business is gray. If you don't catch it, you won't catch it, but once you catch it, you will be right.
Also known as catching thieves and stolen goods, Cheng Jianjun deliberately kept an eye on Han Chunming, followed and monitored him. Although he could not figure out Han Chunming's details, it was not a big problem to know his general movements. There are too many people doing this job now, and these people still have some energy, and the market has indeed been active, so the government basically turns a blind eye, observes the situation, and sums up experience. So after Han Chunming became bigger, although he was still cautious, he was still not as good as before.
In such a situation, Cheng Jianjun deliberately targeted it, and it was not surprising that a batch of goods was detained. He has both merit and ability to manipulate Han Chunming, which is a good thing...
Suddenly hearing Cheng Jianjun's words, Han Chunming was about to cry. He quickly turned his head and glanced at Cai Xiaoli. The couple looked at each other, and then looked at Han Mu who was already stunned not far away. After such a circle, his Only then did his eyes fall on Cheng Jianjun, who looked concerned and loyal, and he could only smile awkwardly: "Thank you for your trouble, Jianjun."
"Hey, it's okay. You said that we live in the same hospital and grew up together. Now that something has happened to you, and I happen to be working in the Inspection Department, can my brother just ignore it? Don't worry, this matter "Call me." Cheng Jianjun said very openly, his chest thumping loudly, and then he turned to greet Wang Yan next to him: "Your Majesty, please cool down. I'm going back first. I'm busy. Since Chunming’s incident, I haven’t even had a bite of food.”
Of course he didn't get a response, and he didn't respond at all, so he pushed the cart back to the hospital.
Immediately afterwards, Mother Han came over from not far away and said with an old face: "Call your eldest brother, eldest sister, second brother and second sister and ask them to come back."
After that, he turned around and entered the courtyard. Cai Xiaoli shrugged helplessly at Su Meng and hurriedly followed her mother-in-law.
She didn't mean anything else. She just heard that something happened to her old son, and that he had something to do with the Inspection Department and had his goods detained. She was panicked and couldn't make up her mind. She wanted to get the whole family back.
But she wasn't too worried. After all, Wang Yan was sitting next to Han Chunming, so he could definitely help...
"It's just a batch of electronic watches and game consoles. I made them together with Yang Huajian. They were detained when they were sent to Fengtai. Yang Huajian was trying to find a way and didn't want to trouble you. Come on, my lord, just stay here. I have to call and be criticized. This Cheng Jianjun is really..."
Han Chunming sighed, stood up on his knees, went back to the courtyard to get a phone book, and ran to the alley to call every house...
"What's going on?" Seeing Cai Xiaoli and Han Chunming leaving, Su Meng ran over to find out the truth.
"What else could it be? You didn't know that Han Chunming was doing business outside before. Although it is much more relaxed now, there is no clear policy, and there should be risks in making money on the side. It's just a batch of goods being detained, no matter how normal it is But that’s it.”
"Then what I heard from Cheng Jianjun seemed to be quite strenuous? Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli can't be caught, right?"
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's not that serious. Chunming just said that Yang Huajian is trying to find a solution. Even if there is no solution, even if I don't help, the worst that can happen is that the goods will be gone, or another fine will be paid. It's not a big problem."
"Xiaoli is in trouble now. You said that over the years, the couple has made such a fortune without telling their family. Then Han Chunming's brothers and sisters have to blame Xiaoli, the daughter-in-law of a different surname. It was Xiaoli who hid it and didn't let Han Chunming tell his family, alienating the relationship between the brothers and sisters and destroying the stability and unity within the old Han family. Xiaoli is not a good person either. I guess there will be excitement later."
Su Meng shook her head, sympathizing with what Cai Xiaoli was about to face, but also feeling lucky that she didn't have parents-in-law, let alone uncles and younger brothers-in-law, and didn't have to face these messes.
She sighed, "You said Cheng Jianjun, he is the same age as you and Han Chunming, he is already 31, how can he do such a ridiculous thing? How can he yell like that in public? Now, with his voice, what do you think of Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli in the eyes of the neighbors? I think he did it on purpose."
"Do you need to see? Who would yell when talking seriously, afraid that irrelevant people can't hear it?"
If Han Chunming went to Cheng Jianjun to ask for an explanation, Wang Yan could tell with her toes that Cheng Jianjun would have a face that said, "I'm doing this for your own good, I'm worried about you, and you still have to say that you won't blame me." Han Chunming was a person, even if he knew that Cheng Jianjun was pretending, he couldn't say anything.
This is how it is when you are out there, you don't have to be shameless, you are used to being high-sounding, you always do things that hurt others and benefit yourself under the guise of doing good for others, you always get the upper hand, you live your life with that mouth.
There are many people like this...
No one spoke, and the mosquitoes became more numerous. Su Meng went back to the backyard to look after her father, while Wang Yan went to the chess stall and squatted beside Lao Guantou to watch chess.
"Admiral, Xiao Ma is getting married next month, and Cha Piaoxiang will hold a banquet. Are you going?"
Lao Guantou glanced at Wang Yan: "This kid is not polite. He didn't come to tell Grandpa Jiumen Admiral about such a big thing in person, but you kid told me?"
"He just decided to get married yesterday. He wanted to come in the evening. I met him at Cha Piaoxiang at noon, so I didn't let him run another trip. Broken Monkey doesn't know yet. I told Taozi to tell him when Broken Hou goes to eat free food."
"Okay, tell him to get a big-butt jeep to pick me up. I won't sit in your three-wheeled kick. Don't tell me halfway before you drink the wine."
Wang Yan nodded and agreed with a smile. The old guy cherishes his life. In fact, according to the original drama, if it weren't for the fact that Han Chunming's brothers and sisters opened a restaurant and Guan Xiaoguan got mad, causing the old guy to get angry and get thrombosis, he should be able to live a few more years, and it is not impossible to hold on until 2008...
But after a while, when it got dark, the children and wives of the old Han family arrived one after another, and it was also a big family. It was also at this time that the children who were playing crazy were called back home.
Without playmates, Wang Bin and Han Yi ran back with unsatisfied intentions. Wang Yan waved at them with a smile: "Han Yi, come here and watch chess with grandpa."
"Sun thief, come here, grandpa will teach you how to play chess." Old Guantou obviously heard what Cheng Jianjun said before, and saw the big family who came back, so he naturally understood the situation of his beloved disciple, and it was better for children not to join in the fun.
After rubbing Han Yi's little head, Wang Yan walked to his son with a smile, grabbed his collar from behind, and lifted the struggling kid in front of him. The father and son looked at each other, and the amiable old father asked kindly: "Son, have I ever told you not to do dangerous things and to ensure your own safety? Have I ever told you to try not to hinder others?"
Wang Bin gave up struggling, looked at his father pitifully, and smiled awkwardly: "Dad, I know I was wrong. Next time I will never run on other people's roofs again."
"Let's go, let's go to the stadium to practice."
Ignoring the kid who looked like he was going to die, Wang Yan put him on the ground and kicked him in the butt, making him stagger: "A real man should admit his mistakes, don't be fussy, run quickly."
Wang Bin sighed helplessly, resigned himself to his fate and ran straight to the stadium, and Wang Yan, his father, trotted behind him.
Arriving at the stadium and finding a bright spot, Wang Yan started fighting with his own son. The little boy gnashed his teeth, charging again and again, attacking desperately without thinking, and was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by his own father again and again.
Wang Yan was very measured, and the hits on his body only hurt, but not too much. When he fell to the ground, the child's skin was tender, so it was inevitable that he would be scratched a few times, just a little skin breakage, and there would be no scars, so it was not a big problem.
Now I have begun to teach my son to practice martial arts while standing still. Of course, the main focus is still on health and fitness, but at this time, health and fitness have already been lethal. The little boy is still very good at fighting among his peers. He has achieved the achievement of kicking the preschool class in Dongcheng. The next step will be to unlock the task of kicking the primary school in Dongcheng...
Children, they are not as precious now as they were later, how can they not be naughty and fight. Especially since the family planning was just implemented not long ago, they were only encouraged to have one child, but they did not say that they could only have one child. So few people listened to the encouragement. Most children of Wang Bin's age have several brothers and sisters. If they don't fight or compete, they will suffer at home. Only the crying children get milk, and they are not good people.
Finally, after enduring a beating, the little boy became honest, limp, grinning, and dejected, walking on the wide road where there were fewer people. Wang Yan was behind him, holding a cigarette in his mouth and swaying leisurely.
The street lamps gave off a dim light, stretching the shadows of the father and son from time to time, constantly changing...
After returning home, Su Meng complained about Wang Yan's cruelty, washed the sweat off her son with warm water, and naggled about the truth with the sleepy little boy.
Su Meng is always like this. She can't beat him when asked to. She feels bad and unhappy when Wang Yan beats her. They keep conflicting like this.
So, Su Meng bathes her son in the house, while Wang Yan washes his clothes outside, listening to the noise in the old Han's house to relieve boredom.
There is nothing unexpected. At the beginning, everyone interrogates Han Chunming about what goods were seized, where did he get the money to buy the goods, who did he work with, when did he start working, whether he made money or lost money, why didn't he tell them before, etc.
Han Chunming respects his mother and his brothers and sisters. He basically doesn't hide too much, but he doesn't tell them how much he made because he is afraid of scaring them.
But Cai Xiaoli is annoyed by Han Chunming's submissiveness. A group of people with old traditions and old ideas use their experience to teach Han Chunming what to do and what to do and what not to do. She doesn't think these people are concerned about Han Chunming. She just thinks that these people are too lenient. Han Chunming is over 30 years old, and his son is already 7 years old. Is it necessary for them to scold the couple like a grandson?
And this is not the first or second time, it has been since she married Han Chunming until now. Whenever there is a big or small matter, they will come and point fingers.
In her eyes, Han Chunming is very powerful, and these people are not qualified to teach him. So Cai Xiaoli, who has been holding back for so many years, turned her face for the first time.
Of course, he did not make a big fuss, after all, she is not that kind of person. It's just hard words and soft words, expressing her dissatisfaction in her words.
Now Wang Yan came back, just in time for Cai Xiaoli to reason with these people. She is a daughter-in-law of another surname, and they have been in harmony for so many years. Now it's hard to stab them with a soft knife. It's hard for these people to say anything. Just like Han Chunming can't say the same thing about his sister-in-law, others can't say Cai Xiaoli. So what is going on in the house now is that Cai Xiaoli protects her husband and Han Chunming's status at home rises. But after that, there will be no shortage of messy things, and it will be a serious mess for a while...
At this time, Cheng Jianjun turned out from the moon gate in the backyard and greeted Wang Yan with a smile: "Prince, I'm washing clothes."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile and ignored him.
It's always like this, Cheng Jianjun is used to it, but this time he didn't leave, but carefully came over: "Prince, there is something I think I should tell you."
Seeing Wang Yan looking at him, Cheng Jianjun carefully looked at Han Chunming's house, then looked back at Su Meng who was bathing his son in the outer room, and moved closer to Wang Yan, whispering: "Prince, let me tell you, before you and Su Meng got together, Han Chunming and Su Meng had a special relationship..."
