Chapter 73: Failed Surprise
Because of Xiao Hongyan's transfer to the township, her
daughter's piano lessons were shelved. If you want to learn piano, you can only
go to Jiangcheng to learn. My daughter usually goes to school and only has time
on weekends. Xiao Hongyan works in Tang Town and only has time on weekends. If
they send their daughter to Jiangcheng to learn piano on weekends, the mother
and daughter do not have much time to see each other.
Today is Xiao Wangxi's kindergarten graduation day. In
September, she will become a preparatory primary school student and enter
preschool.
The beginning of the summer vacation means that Xiao Wangxi
has a lot of time to attend training classes, and piano learning is also on the
schedule. My daughter's piano teacher is a third-year student at the
Conservatory of Music.
To reassure Xiao Hongyan and to allow his daughter to learn
piano, Wang Licheng asked Luo Zhongyong to vacate a room for him in the garment
factory and use this room as a classroom. He also bought a piano and put it in
the room.
When the female student taught Xiao Wang Xi, Wang Licheng
could not watch from the side, and if he wanted to watch, he could not be alone
by his side; at least one person should accompany him. All this stipulated by
Xiao Hongyan.
Wang Licheng did not dare to let Luo Zhongyong know, let him
know, and not be laughed to death by him. He promised Xiao Hongyan that he
would stay in the office every time his daughter learned the piano, and she
could call to check on her at any time.
Even then Xiao Hongyan could not trust him, so she insisted
on asking him to take a picture of the female student for her to see.
When he was looking for a teacher for his daughter, several
female students came to apply for the job. There must be beautiful ones among
them. He made a lot of determination to choose the ugliest one among them.
Since Xiao Hongyan went to work in Tang Town, every time she
left after seeing her off, Xiao Hongyan would remind him to keep a distance
from women. This is what he promised Xiao Hongyan, and he swallowed the bitter
fruit he planted.
In September, Xiao Wang Xi went to preschool; in the
elementary school where Xiao Hongyan taught before. The work and rest of the
preschool class are the same as the primary school students, and go to school
earlier and later than kindergarten.
Wang Licheng takes his daughter to and from school every
day, and he is a clear stream among the parents who take their children to and
from school. His clear stream flowed from the experimental kindergarten to the
experimental preschool.
Most people who pick up their children from school are the
elderly, but there are also young people. Not many but they all come by bicycle
or motorcycle, and leave immediately after picking up the children. Every time
Wang Licheng picks up his daughter, he always walks. He does not exercise much
now, and his figure will lose shape if he does not walk more.
He was the only parent like him who picked up their children
and walked home slowly.
Wang Licheng has always been in charge of Xiao Wang Xi's
studies, especially after Xiao Hongyan transferred to Tang Town.
My daughter was learning piano in Jiangcheng before, and she
had to come to school after the holidays so that she could not learn piano. Who
knew that Xiao Hongyan secretly hired a middle school music teacher to teach
her daughter the piano? He also said that she or Liu Fengzhen could only send
her daughter to learn piano every week, and he was not allowed to send her
daughter there.
Saying that the music teacher is beautiful; I'm afraid he
can't control his eyes.
Is it true that he has no self-control and makes her so
worried?
One day, Wang Licheng asked about her daughter learning
piano. She said that the teacher's sister played the piano very well, and the
teacher would cook food for her.
All kinds of revelations from his daughter made Wang Licheng
a little curious about the music teacher.
After her daughter learned the piano for a while, Wang
Licheng waited for an opportunity. This weekend Xiao Hongyan had no time to
send her daughter to learn the piano, and his mother, Liu Fengzhen, went away
to relatives. After Wang Licheng sent a report to Xiao Hongyan, she approved
him sending his daughter to learn piano. It is just that the three in the
teacher's family is not as beautiful as Xiao Hongyan said. Simply a couple in
their 40s with a teenage daughter.
After Xiao Hongyan came back, Wang Licheng asked her about
it.
"If you hear about a beautiful woman, you will always
remember it in your heart." This was all a month ago, and he still
remembered it so clearly, how could she let Wang Licheng go out without worry?
"No, I just find it strange." The agreed beauty
turned into a middle-aged woman, and Xiao Hongyan is not a person who likes to
joke.
"The introducer said that the teacher was a beautiful
woman when she was young." She didn't know she was only 40 years old and
he could not see the beauty at all. She doesn't know if she will become like
that when she is 40.
"Maybe it's because the teacher is getting old and
fat." Even her face was swollen.
"If I became like that when I am 40, would you be very
disappointed?" She doesn't know if his bad habit of looking at human faces
will change after ten years.
"No, it's not that you're the only one getting old. You
see, my belly is protruding, so do you dislike me?" It's he who should be
worried.
Another incident happened in September. Penguin received an
online lawyer's letter. Everyone was still immersed in the joy of the rapid
increase in the number of registrations and did not pay attention to this
lawyer's letter.
In November, the number of registered Penguin instant
messaging reached 1 million, and the matter of the lawyer's letter forgotten by
them.
At the beginning of the millennium, Penguin once again
received a letter from an online lawyer from an American company, saying that
the domain name of Penguin's instant messaging software caused infringement.
Immediately afterward, Penguin was entangled in lawsuits and finally entered
the litigation stage and ended with compensation after losing the lawsuit.
Since then, the Penguin instant messaging software has been
renamed Koukou.
Wang Licheng went to Shencheng after the new year. Penguin not
only encountered lawsuits but also encountered the first Internet bubble. The 1
million he invested more than a year ago has not earned any money, and he is
still facing bankruptcy.
At this critical moment, he invested another 3 million.
Fortunately, he knows the development of the Penguin Company in later
generations, and the 1 million is in vain, and he will feel distressed to
death.
As soon as the funds were invested, the number of registered
users of Koukou exceeded 5 million. This news made Ma Tengteng and Zhang
Dongdong regain their confidence.
Wang Licheng didn't know what setbacks Penguin would
encounter. What he could do was increase the capital investment and not allow
other funds to share the profits with him.
When he came back from Shencheng, Xiao Hongyan had already
gone to the neighboring Long County to serve as the assistant to the county
magistrate of the county government, the deputy secretary of the party
committee of Qingminghe Township, and the township head.
She is climbing higher and higher according to the track of
history, while he has no development except for food and clothing factories.
He thought about whether he would go south for a venture and
was afraid that his daughter would experience what he had experienced in his
previous life. He was worried about his daughter and was reluctant to leave
home.
After returning from Shencheng, Wang Licheng did not tell
Xiao Hongyan that he drove to Long County to find her. She is working in the
county government and only occasionally goes to Qingminghe Township.
He first found the county government and asked the doorman
Xiao Hongyan's office, but the doorman refused to tell him and drove him away.
He called Xiao Hongyan as usual and asked her what she was
doing, and she said she was going back to the county government.
Since he was coming back soon, he was waiting for her at the
government gate. As a result, after waiting for an hour, there was not even a
shadow of a car. He called Xiao Hongyan again.
"What's the matter with you today?" He called so
frequently.
"It's nothing, I miss you, okay? Have you returned to
the county now?" Why is it so difficult to surprise her?
He always opened his mouth when he said nasty words, and he
didn't know why he was so thick-skinned.
"Still on the way back to the county, I was delayed by
something just now, Xixi? Why didn't I hear her voice, isn't she by your
side?"
"No, I'm outside now, not at home."
"Why are you going out again?" Didn’t he just come
back? He went to Shencheng for so long, and he didn’t come back when she came
to work, let alone sent her here, and now he just came back and ran outside,
and he didn’t know how to stay at home with his daughter.
"I have something important to do. I will accompany my
daughter tomorrow. How long do you have to go back to the county?"
Wang Licheng fell asleep while waiting in the car. When he
was woken up by his mobile phone, he realized that it was already dark.
"Open the door." She had just returned to the
county, and a car was parked at the gate of the county government. It was very
conspicuous. When the headlights swept across the rear of the car in front, she
saw the license plate and found that it was his family's car.
She knocked on the car door for a long time, and Wang
Licheng slept like a dead pig, and only woke him up by calling him.
"You're back!" He smiled embarrassingly and
touched the back of his head as if he had screwed up the surprise again.
"Come back to the dormitory with me! Next time you come
here, let me know in advance. Have you been waiting for a long time?" She
felt strange that he called her twice this afternoon in such a short time
interval, and he should have made the first call. Here we go.
"I was going to surprise you, but I went to sleep in
the end." He caught the early flight back to Jiangcheng today, and when he
arrived in Jiangcheng, he drove back to Pucheng. All day travelling today,
either by plane or by car, he is indeed tired.
"Next time you come, let me know in advance. I'll
arrange the time." He waited here for a few hours, what a waste of time.
If she knew he was coming, she could arrange her work and come back earlier.
He could have spent a few more hours together, but now he
wasted it.
Since Xiao Hongyan worked in other places, Wang Licheng's
chances to eat meat have decreased a lot.
When I was first in Tangzhen, there were one or two times,
but she couldn't let go, saying that the sound insulation of the dormitory was
not good, and she would be heard by her colleagues next door.
After one or two times, she refused to do it in the
dormitory anyway, saying that if she wanted to do it, she could only do it at
home. She is also a workaholic, busy with work every day. It's even worse now,
Long County is farther away from downtown Pucheng than Jiangcheng is from
downtown Pucheng. It takes at least an hour to drive, and the chance of her
coming back is even less.
After eating in the cafeteria, the two went back to the
dormitory and lay on the bed just chatting. He just hugged Xiao Hongyan in his
arms, and she refused to put his hands on her chest, and always took his hands
away.
"I'm telling you something serious; can you not touch
with your hands?" People are living on the left and right of her
dormitory, the bed is against the wall, and there is only one wall between the
dormitory next door.
She heard it several times when she was in Tangzhen. She was sleeping on the bed, and she could hear the screaming and the sound of the bed hitting the wall very clearly. Later, Wang Licheng wanted to touch her in the dormitory, but she refused to let him.
