Chapter 83: Jincheng

Wang Licheng lived in Jiangcheng for two days before returning to Pucheng. It was the weekend again, and he wanted to send his daughter to Jingshi to learn piano.

He didn't take any sleeping pills for the past two days, mainly because he couldn't find any sleeping pills. Fortunately, he was able to fall asleep for a while, but he always woke up in the middle of the night.

He decided to go to Jincheng.

Xiao Hongyan was in Jincheng, so it was impossible for him not to go all the time. After his daughter went to school, he set foot on the road to Jincheng again. This time, Xiao Hongyan was not told in advance.

He drove the car downstairs to the house in his previous life. Grandma is gone, and there will be no one at home at this time.

He went to his parents' clothing store again, just watching from a distance. Both of them were in the shop and he saw no change.

Grandma and herself are gone, they should be sad.

It was almost noon, so he drove into the city hall, parked the car downstairs in the office building, and waited until noon before calling Xiao Hongyan.

"Are you off work?"

People have come out of the office building one after another.

"It's off, I'm going to eat in the cafeteria, are you?"

At this time, it's almost time for dinner at home.

"I'm waiting for a beautiful lady and I want to have lunch with her."

"Have you come to Jincheng, where are you?"

There was joy in the voice, and the steps under his feet were much faster.

"It's downstairs."

Hearing her joy, he also smiled softly.

"You wait, I'll come down right away."

"When did you come, and how long have you been waiting?"

She thought he would not come to Jincheng anymore, and was planning to return to Pucheng on Friday night.

"Just arrived."

He rarely saw her smiling so happily in the unit. This time it should be a surprise.

He plans to stay here this time. Knowing that he would stay, the smile on Xiao Hongyan's face never faded all day.

Grandma and her body are still in the morgue, and the court can't take away the body for a day without a sentence. It's not good for them to stay in that cold place all the time. But he has no identity or reason to get involved in this matter.

The only relationship he can use in Jincheng is Xiao Hongyan.

Then he went to the clothing store twice more and he told himself that those were the last two times. The two most important people to him are gone, and his connection with the parents of his previous life has also faded.

The person who thought he had faded away suddenly got in touch with him again. The women's clothing brand of the clothing factory is running a specialty store, and they are the owners of the specialty store in Jincheng. He greeted Liang Lixue and asked the factory to take care of them.

They also opened a specialty store in the previous life, but it was not their factory's specialty store. Since they were laid off, they have been in the clothing business, and the stores they have opened are also stores of mature women's brands. Like their factory's young women's clothes, they seem to have never sold them.

In Jincheng, he didn't meet them by chance on purpose, nor did he avoid them on purpose, but he always ran into them. Jincheng is a county-level city. It is not big, but it is not small either. They are in the store all day long, and he is at home most of the time, so they can always meet each other.

In September this year, my daughter will start junior high school. Wang Licheng asked her for her opinion, and the junior high school transferred her to Jincheng to study. The best junior high school was also the one he attended in his previous life.

In March, Xiao Hongyan removed the word "on behalf" of the acting mayor title, and became the veritable mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of Jincheng. Her current dormitory is a newly built family building in the municipal party committee compound, a big house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

If Wang Licheng hadn't promised her to stay with her in Jincheng, she would have moved to a smaller house. Going back to the empty, cold house alone every night made her feel down, unhappy, and scared.

This summer, Wang Xi learned the piano for the last two months. When she arrived in Jincheng, her studies were heavy after entering junior high school, and she had to learn piano on weekends. He was afraid that his daughter would suffer.

Xiao Hongyan didn't express her opinion on his way of caring for her daughter. She didn't want Wang Licheng to be a good father to her daughter, and she would become a stepmother to her daughter.

After their daughter came to school, they lived a normal life as a family of three. Wang Licheng is responsible for picking up his daughter and earning money to support the family, while Xiao Hongyan is still working and studying.

After they moved to Jincheng, Wang Licheng discussed with his second sister and asked her to go home and live with his mother. The two of them would also have a companion, and he would feel more at ease. The family will also go back to see their mother once a month.

When returning to Pucheng on National Day, Wang Licheng almost ran into a woman in Jincheng District. When he saw that the woman was Mao Lijuan, his pupils constricted, and the surprise on his face could not be concealed.

"Licheng." She saw that Wang Licheng stood in front of the car and did not move after getting out of the car, and the person who just fell did not get up, so she rolled down the passenger window and called Wang Licheng.

"It's okay, you don't need to come down." She is now on the Jincheng News every day, and it is even more troublesome to be discovered.

"You're fine!" He didn't hit her at all just now, his speed was not fast in the urban area, and he stepped on the brakes immediately. I'm just afraid that she might get injured from a fall. She's such an adult, and she doesn't know how to look when crossing the road. Fortunately, he was not brought up by her.

"It's okay."

She just fell in fright and got up slowly. The business in the store is very good today. She just went to the bank to change some change and was in a hurry to go back to the store, not paying attention to the road.

"I have to go to the hospital if I have nothing to do, you know? You can't make money." He took a stack of money from his wallet and gave it to her.

Xiao Hongyan and her daughter were still waiting for him in the car, and he couldn't accompany her to the hospital. Seeing her anxious appearance, she might not be willing to go to the hospital now.

Mao Lijuan didn't take the money from Wang Licheng. She just fell and nothing happened. Wang Shimin was still waiting for her, so she got up and left quickly.

Wang Licheng watched her leave all the time, and he didn't even hear Xiao Hongyan calling him.

"Hurry up and drive back to Pucheng."

Xiao Hongyan got out of the car and patted him on the back, then returned to the car angrily. Isn't it just a younger woman? It's not that he is very good-looking, his eyes are straight.

That night, he suffered from insomnia again, his mind was full of images of grandma and her getting into a car accident, and then the image of him almost bumping into his mother in his previous life today. The two screens keep alternating. It made him doubt life again.

His wife and daughter are all in Jincheng, he can't go anywhere and he can't leave them.

The wind in the early morning of October was a bit cool, and it was very comfortable to blow on the body. He couldn't fall asleep, so he went upstairs to watch the stars and enjoy the cold wind.

Grandma and she have both been buried in the cemetery next to the funeral parlor. He went there once in July and a half, burned a lot of paper money, bought various things, and burned them all.

He knew that his appearance was a mistake, which hurt grandma and her. Mistakes have already happened, and there is no regret in the world.

He is Wang Licheng now, what he needs to do most is to play the role of Wang Licheng well.

The white hair is still white, and he insists on dyeing his hair every month after taking medicine. Don't turn off the lights at night and don't go to bed, and he must get up before Xiao Hongyan in the morning.

He wants to tell himself that nothing has changed but the hair that needs to be dyed black every month and the inability to sleep at night is telling him that what happened happened, and there is no way to pretend that you don't know anything.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" His eyes were a little red today, and he felt that he had woken up in the middle of the night.

"One thing, maybe it's because I'm not used to it just now." It seems that he needs to buy some sleeping pills.

"Do you have something on your mind?" He has been a little bit wrong since he came back yesterday.

"Of course there are things. Family matters, state affairs, world affairs, the most important thing is your business."

"Licheng, is there anything you can't tell me?" They have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and she would tell him whenever she encountered problems, but he never told her when he had something to do, and he knew how to change the subject every time.

"It's nothing; it's just that I didn't sleep well. Maybe it's the bed, or we changed the mattress at home." The bed at home is indeed not as comfortable as Jincheng's bed.

"Okay, you can change it if you want!" They seldom come back, and they don't have many chances to sleep, since he is making an excuse for the mattress, let him change it!

This time he returned to Pucheng and heard something. The husband of the hair salon girl came back as expected by Wang Licheng. He disabled Yang Jianxiong's third leg and he went to the police station because of this incident.

Yang Bo's grandma came to their house today and said she wanted to see her eldest grandson. Her son has already been abolished, and her grandson cannot be lost.

The Wang family was very reasonable. If the old woman wanted to see her grandson, they would let the old woman see him. Besides, Yang Bo was an adult, and no one would stop him if he wanted to see his grandma.

It's just that the second sister's former mother-in-law wanted to take Yang Bo back to Yang Jianxiong, but the second sister would never agree. They did such a shameful thing and wanted her son to go back with them to be ashamed, but she would never allow it.

Wang Xiamei didn't allow it, and her ex-mother-in-law started arguing at the gate of Wang's house, saying that the Wang family was bullying others, and even scolding Xiao Hongyan and Wang Licheng. Wang Xiamei was so angry that she fought with her ex-mother-in-law. Wang Licheng asked Yang Bo to fight and asked his mother to call the police.

If Yang Bo was underage, this matter may still need to be sued but he is an adult and free to follow whoever he wants. After he graduates, he can live alone if he wants.

The police arrived quickly, and Wang Licheng didn't want to take him back, but Wang Licheng asked to go to the police station to solve the problem.

Grandma Yang Bo would be unscrupulous in his family, but the police station is different, it is a deterrent, and she dares not make trouble in the police station.

"I'll just go with my second sister, and you and Mom and Xixi will stay at home." This kind of family conflict made it difficult for Xiao Hongyan to follow along.

"Well, I'm waiting for your call at home."

It would be even more difficult to solve this matter if she went. The leaders of Pucheng should know about her returning to Pucheng for National Day.

Mayor Fan has already retired, and Xue Zhiyong is now the deputy mayor of Pucheng, Wang Licheng and he are still in frequent contact, and the two families plan to get together this time when they come back.

The deputy mayor of Pucheng knew that she was back, so her return was no secret. Because of some family disputes, he went to the police station, and the influence of mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people was not good.

When they arrived at the police station, Grandma Yang Bo was still pestering Yang Bo to go back with him. This matter is very easy to solve, Yang Bo is an adult, just ask him directly.

His answer didn't save his grandma any face.

"My tuition fee, accommodation fee, and living expenses cost 15,000 yuan a year. Is my grandma or my father willing? If you help me, I will move back." After his father was laid off, he was raised by his mother. He was raised by his mother's salary and the dividends from his uncle. Without his mother, he would have no money to study even if he was admitted to a university.

Grandma Yang Bo was silent when she heard what Yang Bo said. Her retirement salary was not high, only a few hundred dollars a month, and her son didn't have a serious job, so they couldn't afford it. At the police station, she didn't dare to mess around.
