Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 297 Missing home

Back in front of the school building, Xu Lingjun saw Xu Jingyou taking his old classmate Xiao Gushun to take pictures together.

They have a suit and leather shoes, and a commoner straw hat, they look out of place.

Especially Xiao Gushun's bald head and white temples make people feel how difficult it has been these years.

However, the relaxed smile on Xiao Gushun's face quietly buried that period of history in the past.

It seems to be telling the world that everything will pass, and the future will be beautiful.

Not long after, Xu Jingyou and Song Jiaoying took a small wad of money and stuffed it into Xiao Gushun's pocket.

"Oh! What are you doing?"

Xiao Gushun hurriedly took out the money and handed it back.

"Take it, you take it! This is my heart."

Xu Jingyou pressed Xiao Gushun's hand involuntarily, and persuaded him in a deep voice.

Xu Lingjun looked at this scene with some amusement, thinking that those returning overseas Chinese might like to distribute cash like this the most!
Later, they became those big bosses with successful careers, and returned to their hometowns to distribute money.

However, this is actually not wrong.

If you don't send some money, how can you let people know that you are doing well!
If there is no accident, this scene will run through the entire 90s and [-]s, and it will not be slowly replaced by those real estate tyrants and Internet upstarts until after the millennium.

Not long after, Xiao Gushun accepted the money under half push and half consent.

Xu Jingyou bid farewell and left with a satisfied face.

They returned to the Capital Hotel for dinner, and then went back to the suite to wash up.

After taking a shower, Song Jiaoying wore a pink silk cardigan pajamas and combed her hair in front of the mirror.

She looked at her charming self in the mirror, turned her head to look at Xu Jingyou who was sitting in the living room, and couldn't help but said, "I don't think any of your children in America are as good as him."

"He was determined, determined and level-headed."

"If he is going to lead your chemical company in the future, it will definitely bring development to your career."

"You should pay close attention to his talent investment, inspire his competitive ability, and cultivate his management ability."

Xu Jingyou raised his eyelids to glance at Song Jiaoying, and said in a deep voice, "He may not be interested."

"This is impossible, right?"

Song Jiaoying was slightly taken aback, and said resentfully.

In fact, she also knew that it would be impossible for Xu Lingjun to go to the United States.

However, she still couldn't help but want Xu Jingyou to take Xu Lingjun to the United States.

She believes that as long as Xu Lingjun sees the strength and prosperity of the United States, he will definitely abandon his wife and daughter and indulge in pleasure.

"You grew up in the United States, you don't know their country!"

Xu Jingyou said angrily.

With that said, he put a watch in his pocket, sighed and said, "I'd better talk to him again!"

That's what he said, but he had faintly given up hope.

It's just that he still hopes for a miracle to happen.

At this time, Xu Lingjun was staring at the photos of Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi in a daze in the room.

Without Xu Yiyi's laughter, without Li Xiuzhi's tenderness and consideration, he always felt that his life was boring.

He is homesick.

Suddenly, there was a "creak" sound, followed by footsteps.

"Have you not slept yet?"

Xu Jingyou walked over slowly and asked softly.

"No, I'm homesick and can't sleep for a while."

Xu Lingjun shook his head and said frankly.

"Well, have you really decided not to go to America with me?"

Xu Jingyou nodded, sat down on the chair next to him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I've decided!"

Xu Lingjun said without hesitation.

"Why? Don't people work hard to improve their lives?"

Xu Jingyou asked a little puzzled.

"Father, although in your opinion, I have a rich father, I should really leave this country and follow you to the United States to live a life of prosperity.

However, after all, people do not live purely for material life. Now that I have a warm home and a group of simple and lovely folks, I cannot leave at this time. "

Xu Lingjun smiled and explained.

"So, I came back late?"

Xu Jingyou said with some discomfort.

"Yes, assuming you came back five years ago, I might go with you."

Xu Lingjun frowned, nodded and said.

Five years ago, he hadn't crossed over yet.

According to his understanding of the memories of his predecessor, if Xu Jingyou came back at that time, his predecessor would probably agree to go to the United States with Xu Jingyou!
"You have to know that domestic policies are easy to change. Moreover, there are two possibilities for everything, one is success and the other is failure. Have you ever thought about it?"

Xu Jingyou was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"I have thought about it, but I firmly believe that our nation will win."

Xu Lingjun said with a determined face.

In this world, no one believes more than him how great this backward country will be in the future.

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Jingyou, and then said: "Besides, I don't want to be a slave to money, I have no interest in your business kingdom."

Xu Jingyou frowned, then slowly relaxed.

He sighed and said, "Everyone has his own aspirations, and I won't force you."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xu Lingjun shook his head secretly, walked to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of wine, then handed it to Xu Jingyou silently.

Xu Jingyou reached out to take the wine glass, raised his head and took a sip, then exhaled the alcohol and said, "You can drink with me!"

Xu Lingjun nodded, turned around and went back to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass.

Xu Jingyou looked at Xu Lingjun's figure and said sincerely: "I am very happy to see you when I come back this time."

"I found you to be very determined and persistent, which is good."

"I finally saw you."

As he said that, he took a book from the table beside him, and continued: "This is an anthology of Maupassant, and there is a story about the reunion of a member of Congress with his son who was born in early years."

"Unexpectedly, his son became an idiot. This reminds me that you will stand in front of me in a miserable state."

"Seeing you like this now makes me feel relieved."

"Ah~"

He fixedly looked at Xu Lingjun's tall and handsome figure, sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Xu Lingjun silently raised his wine glass and took a sip, as an expression of understanding for Xu Jingyou.

After a while, Xu Jingyou raised his head to look at Xu Lingjun, and said hesitantly, "I have a request, can I meet little Yiyi?"

"For you, I have not fulfilled the responsibility of being a father, I want to be on her"

Xu Lingjun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Yes, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future, I hope you can come to the Grassland Ranch to have a look, and let Yiyi accompany you when the time comes."

Although he didn't really want to maintain a close relationship with Xu Jingyou, but his predecessor was Xu Jingyou's son after all, so he couldn't go too far.

In addition, he also plans to take Li Xiuzhi and Xu Yiyi to go abroad for fun in the future. With such a local snake dad around, many things will be more convenient.

"If so, I would be very grateful."

Xu Jingyou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he stood up holding the wine glass, shaking the glass, and said with some emotion: "I'm getting old! In property, I'm a billionaire, but emotionally, I'm penniless."

"To be more precise, I am a beggar."

Hearing Xu Jingyou's choked up voice, Xu Lingjun felt a little silent in his heart.

In this world, how many people are like this, with a glamorous appearance, but extremely lonely inside.

Xu Jingyou turned his head and glanced at Xu Lingjun, with an ugly smile on his lips, and said, "In the country of America, you have two younger brothers and one younger sister."

"However, they are all like the name of an American publication, Playboy."

"Ah!"

He sneered, walked back and sat down, and continued with a look of emotion: "Money cannot build a palace of family relationships."

Xu Lingjun silently nodded in agreement, then walked up to Xu Jingyou and sat down, quietly looking at the lonely old man in front of him.

If possible, he believed that Xu Yiyi's smile could heal the old man.

I just don't know, will Xu Jingyou really come to the prairie?

Xu Jingyou looked at Xu Lingjun and said softly: "Thank you for my wife, she is very beautiful and virtuous, she is very cute, she takes care of you for me."

"Well! I will."

Xu Lingjun nodded in agreement, with a happy smile on his face.

Xu Jingyou picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, then sat up straight, and said expectantly: "Lingjun, I want to ask you to do one more thing, can you buy me some wine on the mainland?" A cemetery that is two meters long and one meter wide?"

As he said that, his eyes were wet, and he patted his chest with some sobs, and then said: "My old bone, I still... still want to be buried in China."

"Don't be too sad, take care of your health, maybe Xiuzhi and I will bring Yiyi to see you soon."

Xu Lingjun sighed secretly, and spoke in relief.

As he said that, he suddenly thought of the gift that Li Xiuzhi asked him to give Xu Jingyou before he came here.

He got up and walked to the luggage cabinet, took out two bags of wolfberries from his bag and walked back, handed them to Xu Jingyou, and said with a smile: "This is a gift that Xiuzhi asked me to bring to you, you can usually make some tea , good for the body."

"Goji berries, I know, I know."

Xu Jingyou took the goji berry and smiled with relief.

Then, he hurriedly put the goji berries aside, then took out a watch box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Lingjun, saying, "Give this to Xiuzhi for me."

Xu Lingjun took the watch box and opened it, and found that it was a very delicate female watch. He guessed that Xu Jingyou should have asked someone to buy it temporarily.

He looked up at the sincere expression on Xu Jingyou's face, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I thank you for Xiuzhi."

"Well! Go to bed early! Go out with me tomorrow."

Xu Jingyou breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Xu Lingjun's shoulder and said.

After speaking, he got up and walked out.

On the second day and the third day, Xu Lingjun accompanied Xu Jingyou and Song Jiaoying to the Great Wall, Prince Gong's Mansion, the Temple of Heaven, and various scenic spots in the capital.

In addition, he also took the time to go to the place where the courtyard was before, and finally confirmed that these are two worlds at all.

Day [-], morning.

After breakfast at the Beijing Hotel, Xu Lingjun, Xu Jingyou, and Song Jiaoying rushed to the airport in the welcome car.

In the blink of an eye, he had been in the capital for almost a week.

If Xu Jingyou doesn't leave, then he also wants to go home.

In the car, Song Jiaoying put her head behind the co-pilot and asked, "Mr. Xu, what is your plane ticket?"

"Oh, it's 12 o'clock, it doesn't matter, I'll see you off first."

Xu Lingjun heard this, turned around and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Song Jiaoying nodded and smiled in agreement, then looked at her watch, turned to Xu Jingyou and said, "Chairman, you can close your eyes and rest for a while, there is still half an hour."

"No, I want to see the capital again."

Xu Jingyou shook his head and said.

Song Jiaoying smiled slightly, leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window.

After a while, she glanced at Xu Lingjun's back, and said with some emotion: "The capital, a week, is like a dream."

Although it wasn't long, she really gained a lot from Xu Lingjun and this ancient city.

At least, she understood a truth.

People really don't live only for material life.

"No, it's better than a dream!"

Xu Jingyou turned to look at Song Jiaoying, and said in a deep voice.

When he came back this time, seeing Xu Lingjun's outstanding appearance, all the nightmares he had before disappeared.

Although Xu Lingjun couldn't be brought to America, he had no regrets.

Soon after, they arrived at the airport.

While Song Jiaoying was going to check-in, Xu Jingyou pulled Xu Lingjun to sit in the waiting hall, giving some nagging instructions.

"Lingjun, write more letters in the future, communication is very convenient now, take some pictures of little Yiyi and send them to me."

"Okay, don't worry, I will."

Xu Lingjun nodded in agreement.

For this small request, he still doesn't mind satisfying the old father.

At this time, Song Jiaoying finished the formalities, came back and said, "Chairman, the formalities have been completed."

"Ok!"

Xu Jingyou nodded in agreement, picked up the luggage beside him and prepared to board the plane.

Song Jiaoying glanced at Xu Lingjun who was sitting next to her, walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, I hope to see you again."

"I also hope that."

Xu Lingjun said with a slight smile.

"Say hello to your wife for me."

A look of regret flashed in Song Jiaoying's eyes, then she smiled.

"Thank you!"

Xu Lingjun's smile suddenly became brighter, and he didn't pay attention to the change in Song Jiaoying's eyes at all.

Song Jiaoying looked at Xu Lingjun's undisguised happy smile, and felt a little sour for a moment.

She quickly packed her luggage, turned to Xu Jingyou and said, "Chairman, let's go!"

After speaking, she turned around and walked towards the boarding gate.

Xu Lingjun sent them to the boarding gate and stopped.

"Lingjun, let me see you again!"

Xu Jingyou paused, turned around, and said with a look of reluctance.

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, took a step forward, grabbed Xu Jingyou's hand, and said, "Daddy, goodbye!"

"Ok!"

Xu Jingyou firmly held Xu Lingjun's hand, nodded in agreement, then quickly turned around, and walked into the elevator on the landing pad with Song Jiaoying.

Xu Lingjun watched them leave, and then returned to the waiting hall to sit.

He looked at the plane ticket in his hand, and his heart instantly flew to the Qilian Mountain prairie.

Are they all right now?
