Chapter 67: Promotion

After Xiao Hongyan returned home, she didn't let Wang Licheng do anything and stayed by his side after getting off work, handing everything he needed to him and never letting him get up.

Before taking a shower, he couldn't wash himself well, so he just took a shower and wiped it off. Now that Xiao Hongyan is back, she helps him bathe every day. He feels that he has returned to his childhood and almost didn't feed himself.

It's not a big deal, every time Xiao Hongyan helped him take a bath, she would accidentally get wet herself, and later she took a bath with Wang Licheng. We take the mandarin duck bath together every day; we can only watch but not touch, so he is angry.

To supplement calcium for him, Liu Fengzhen stews bone soup every day. Wang Licheng eats a lot every day, does little exercise, and is very irritable. He is tragically constipated. In the end, medicine had to be prescribed.

From that day on, Xiao Hongyan would massage Wang Licheng's stomach every night. She slept far away, with her hands still on Wang Licheng's stomach.

Xiao Hongyan likes to sleep next to Wang Licheng, but she is afraid that her movements will touch his chest. Although they are far away from each other before going to bed, she will return to Wang Licheng's side when she wakes up in the morning, with her head still resting on his shoulder.

"Why didn't you wake me up; did you pull your chest?" The doctor said that it would take three months for the bone to fully grow, and he couldn't let his chest be injured again before it grew well. She was already paying attention and for this reason, she even thought of sleeping in a separate room but Wang Licheng refused, and she didn't want to sleep without him.

Xiao Hongyan didn't think much about Chen Derong's liking for her, but because of Wang Licheng's injuries, she hated Chen Derong.

"It's okay; it isn't relevant. Do you want to sleep a little longer?" In taking care of him and her daughter, her dark circles came out.

"Don't sleep anymore; are you going to get up now?" It was getting late, so she was going to find out the clothes Wang Licheng was going to wear today and put them on for him. She just heard their daughter next door, as if her daughter had woken up.

After Wang Licheng was injured, his daughter slept with Liu Fengzhen. The husband and wife can only spend more time with their daughter during the day, Xiao Hongyan will put her daughter to sleep every night, and she will bathe Wang Licheng after putting her daughter to sleep. Busy at work and at home after work, she would scold Chen Derong in her heart every time she felt tired.

When her daughter's kindergarten started, Xiao Hongyan took half a day off to bring her daughter to enroll. In the past, it was Wang Licheng who signed up for his daughter, but now Xiao Hongyan won't let Wang Licheng go out, let alone bring his daughter to sign up.

Wang Licheng felt that his health was much better recently, his chest pain was gone, and his body was relaxed. He told Xiao Hongyan that he was fine, but Xiao Hongyan didn't believe it, so she still took a bath with him every day.

Xiao Hongyan said that he can go outside for a few hours after he rests in bed, but it is unbelievable for him to say that he is in good health.

At that time, didn't he insist on going to her unit just to take her home, and now it has become the reason why she doesn't believe him?

By mid-September, Wang Licheng was able to go out for a stroll, but Xiao Hongyan refused to let him go to Jiangcheng. Those clothes are still in the factory, and if they were not brought back, they will not be able to wear them this year.

The Hang Seng Index fell below 7,000 points as in history, and Mazi was overjoyed when he called.

After Wang Licheng left, his mother gave him 1 million yuan, and Mazi invested it all in the stock market, earning more than 1 million Yuan. He remembered that Wang Licheng told him that he would move out with his mother when he was able enough.

When he was excited to buy a house; he was overwhelmed by reality. The housing price was too high, and even 2 million Yuan could only buy a small house of fifty or sixty square meters. He went home in despair and returned the 1 million to his mother, and the matter of moving out was put on hold. He also called Wang Licheng about this matter and asked him to help him out.

Wang Licheng didn't tell him about being beaten by Chen Derong. Every time he called Mazi to ask about the stock market, he also wanted to know if Chen Derong had contacted him.

After earning money, Wang Licheng told Mazi to invest all the money he earned in several stocks and also helped him analyze some investment methods. In this way, he could contact Mazi from time to time and inquire about Chen Derong's news.

At the end of September, Xiao Hongyan got the opportunity to train in the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Party School of the Municipal Party Committee. When she was attending the training, Wang Licheng secretly went to Jiangcheng, and Luo Zhongyong said that if he didn't come again, he would quit.

Wang Licheng hadn't come to the factory for more than a month. Seeing that Liang Lixue's months were getting older, he had to wait for Wang Licheng to hand over the work to him so that he could go home and accompany Liang Lixue to give birth.

Luo Zhongyong had not been told about Wang Licheng's injury, nor had Xue Zhiyong and Fan Yecheng. It was not an honorable thing, it would be embarrassing for him to say it, and he would be ashamed to say it when others asked why.

The night he went to Jiangcheng, Xiao Hongyan's call came after him.

"Wang Licheng, what on earth do you want? Do you think I'm not worried enough?" He drove to Jiangcheng alone; his injuries were not healed. How could he be so self-willed and frighten her?

"Calm down, I'm really fine, the doctor said I can move about normally, and I'm not doing strenuous exercise while driving."

He could understand Luo Zhongyong; he was also so nervous when Xiao Hongyan gave birth to his daughter. Moreover, Luo Zhongyong didn't own the clothing factory alone, and he couldn't ignore it completely.

"Then you should pay more attention to yourself, don't go out, just sit in the office during the day, and I will call you at any time." Everyone else is already in Jiangcheng, and she knows that Liang Lixue is about to give birth, but Wang Licheng's body is not healthy. She worried.

Since Wang Licheng went to Jiangcheng, Xiao Hongyan called Wang Licheng almost every hour to make sure that he was indoors and did not go out.

Luo Zhongyong didn't know his situation and always laughed at him, saying that Wang Licheng was a strict wife and that Xiao Hongyan called him because he missed him.

Wang Licheng didn't explain too much; he could say whatever he wanted; Xiao Hongyan called so frequently because he was nervous and cared about him. He is willing to bear this kind of sweet burden.

"Hongyan, go and buy a mobile phone! Don't worry about saving money; I won't spend my money on your mothers." Xiao Hongyan was still training at the party school, and every time she called him, she had to find a public phone booth, saying in a few minutes, I have to go back to class again, which was too hard.

"Well, we'll buy it together when you come back." Having a mobile phone is also more convenient. You can call him at any time and know where he is.

After Wang Licheng went to Jiangcheng, he returned to Pucheng every Friday afternoon and went to Jiangcheng again on Monday morning. This lasted until the end of the year. Liang Lixue gave birth to a child and was confined.

In January, good news came from Xiao Hongyan. She was promoted again; to the head of the Secretary Section of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and became a full-time cadre.

She performed very well during the cadre training period. As a representative, she gave speeches several times during the inspection of the city leaders. Mayor Fan knew Xiao Hongyan and praised her a lot. After the training was over and she returned to the Propaganda Department, she received a promotion announcement.

Xiao Hongyan never thought that she would be promoted so quickly. The Jiang University graduation certificate she received after training promoted her to a full-time official right after graduation. When she told Wang Licheng, Wang Licheng was very happy; she heard his laughter on the phone.

"When will you come back?" The Chinese New Year is early this year, the Chinese New Year is in January and now it is only eight days away from the Chinese New Year.

"I'll go back in a few days, Liang Lixue is also in confinement; next year I won't have to come here often." In the past six months, he was often in Jiangcheng, and Xiao Hongyan had to study and train again, so the two of them spent very little time with their daughter.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back." It snowed heavily a few days ago and the road was closed. Wang Licheng didn't come back last weekend, and they hadn't seen each other for ten days.

Fan Changjiang, deputy secretary and mayor of Pucheng City, is the old man Liu Hongmei talked about, the father of her husband Fan Yecheng, and the grandfather of one of the boys rescued by Wang Licheng.

Xiao Hongyan entered the Propaganda Department as a person who registered with Mayor Fan. He remembered Xiao Hongyan's name and knew that Xiao Hongyan was the lover of the young man who saved his grandson. He thought it was just a repayment to arrange work, but he didn't expect her performance to be so good, so he just praised her casually.

The accompanying people didn't think so; they are used to speculating on the leader's thoughts and knew that Xiao Hongyan joined the Propaganda Department because of Mayor Fan. You have a degree, ability, and a good background, so the promotion will naturally be fast.

After the Chinese New Year, Wang Licheng stays at home with his wife and children; sometimes he goes to the garment factory, and keeps in touch with Mazi. The stocks they bought are going up very well, and the housing prices in Hong Kong are also falling. Mazi wants to wait if the housing price fall a little, get some of the money in the stock market out to buy a house and move out first.

He has been studying Hong Kong's economy for the past six months. His mother invited an economics teacher for him and he often communicates with Wang Licheng on the phone.

It has been half a year, and Wang Licheng has not heard about Chen Derong yet. Chen Derong didn't contact Mazi and he couldn't find any news from his wife and mother.

Xiao Jiandang and Xiao Jianjun went to Chen Derong's house later and told Chen Derong's mother and wife what Chen Derong had done. Chen's mother kept apologizing, and Ma Hongying sat beside her crying.

Chen Derong likes to call her Hongying very much, especially at night; he called her Hongying, asked her to call him Derong and kept calling her by that name. This time, she thought that Chen Derong also liked her, even if she has not received the certificate yet, and she believes that as long as he still likes her, he will get the marriage certificate sooner or later.

Now she knew that the Hongyan Chen Derong was talking about someone else, and it was his boss' wife, and she felt disgusted when she thought that every time he vented on her, he called someone else's name.

In the past few years, she had two children for Chen Derong, and her health also broke. She often suffered from back pain and couldn't do heavy work. Now she knew from other people that Chen Derong had never liked her, and she didn't know what to do in the future.

She thought about leaving here with her son, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let her go. The mother-in-law said that the three of them would be a family in the future, and Chen Derong never appeared.

Chen Derong took most of the family's savings and left. He left for half a year without contacting his family.
