My Xiangshan

Xiangshan packed up the house and quickly moved the things to the dormitory of the factory.Before leaving, he borrowed a camera and took pictures of the whole house, inside and out, with many details. He has lived in this place for more than 30 years, and now he leaves suddenly, and there is an indescribable sour taste.It wasn't long before someone came in for a formal survey, and the bulldozers ripped the house apart in a matter of seconds.He won't last long if he stays.

After an early morning, he took the intercity bus to the nursing home to visit his mother.After getting off the car, he had to walk for a long time on the mountain road. It rained last night and was muddy everywhere. It was almost noon when he arrived, and his shoes were covered with muddy water.

The mother was in a good state of mind, and she pulled Xiangshan to talk a lot.

Ever since those incidents happened at home, my mother has been sober for a while and confused for a while.Later, Xiangshan was imprisoned, which was the last straw that weighed on her body. She collapsed immediately, and she couldn't remember many things in the past.

"Mom, our old house is about to be demolished, so I took some photos as souvenirs." Xiangshan took out the developed photos and showed them to her mother one by one.

"I'll take you over when the new house is built. By the way, I also have a dog. I love to play with people, but I can't bring it here today."

Mother still touched his head as he did when he was a child, and then shook his head again, meaning there was no rush.Since she fell ill, she has been unable to speak very much, and it is particularly difficult to speak.

She finally got up and went back to the room, took out a pair of knitted cashmere gloves, and tried the size on Xiangshan.

"Mom, it's still summer, so you don't need gloves."

"Prepare in advance, you... were injured a lot last year." Touching his son's hand, the mother gestured on it.Because Li Xiangshan often works outdoors, his hands are not free, from his fingers to the back of his hands, he is full of chilblains every winter.

When Xiangshan came out of the nursing home, it started to rain again, and he ran all the way to the platform, his body was soaked, but fortunately he caught the last train.

Go back to the dormitory to boil water and take a bath. This place is small and stuffy. Although Xiangshan lives alone, the situation is not much better.In addition to the bed, there is only room for a writing desk and a wooden chair, and there is a musty smell in the closet all the year round.The kitchen is shared on the first floor, but most of the people who live here eat in the cafeteria, so Xiangshan can feel at ease.The toilet is on the first floor, and the water can only be boiled in the house for bathing, which is fine in summer but not in winter.

When taking a bath, he always circles around him every day, lying on the edge of the tub and wagging his tail.Xiangshan sprinkled water on it, and its pointed and beautiful ears were soaked. It shook its head, and when it became cooler, it lay quietly on the ground and exhaled with its tongue.

"Mr. Gu, Xiangyu's side has been loosened. It is true that the capital turnover is not working well, but it is said that everything is ready for the new product, and now it is only a matter of money."

He Ping has been very busy with the annexation plan for the past two days. He contacted Xiangyu in the name of IAC, and the progress of the matter has indeed become much smoother and clearer.

"That's good, we can put it into the market directly after the acquisition."

Gu Xi was looking at the proposal while expressing his opinion.

"It took three to five days to finally negotiate the price. Xiangyu's young boss had an accident, and the person he offended was very important, so he was eager to use the money to save his life, otherwise his father would not have agreed in such a hurry. Most of our conditions, ready to sign."

"The conditions we offered for signing the contract are generous enough, and now I need to see their sincerity."

"what do you mean?"

Gu Xi smiled:

"Tell CRIS that before signing the contract, you must ask Xiangyu to bring the original design drawings, otherwise we can wait. He Ping, remember, sometimes the value is raised by yourself, not by others."

He Ping nodded:

"I know Mr. Gu, I will immediately ask CRIS to negotiate with Xiangyu."

Gu Xi waved his hand:

"It's not a negotiation, it's a request."

After dinner, Gu Xi rested in the villa.Just after taking a shower, while brushing his hair, he saw CRIS' car parked outside the gate, and the housekeeper went to open the door. Soon he walked across the yard and grass, around the promenade, and walked this way.

Gu Xi knew that the thing he had doubted for a long time was about to be answered, but he became anxious for no reason, put on his bathrobe and went downstairs, where CRIS was sitting in the hall waiting.

"It's fast."

Gu Xi sat down, lit a cigarette, smoked it after two puffs, and then didn't speak again.

"It's rare to see you like this, so don't be nervous. Xiangyu is very straightforward, it seems that he is determined to cooperate with us, and immediately gave me the original design drawing."

"Three?"

"It's quite a lot, take a look." CRIS and Gu Xi have known each other for many years, and they are both subordinates and friends.

Gu Xi reached out to pick it up, but when he got it, he put it on the table and didn't look at it. He lit another cigarette and smoked it until his hand was burning. Then he woke up like a startle, opened one, and looked carefully.

How could he not recognize Xiangshan's strokes, he remembered every drawing habit clearly.That's why I looked at two or three places. Even if it wasn't the original copy, I could be sure it was him if I brought a photocopy.

The person standing in the dark is indeed Li Xiangshan.

CRIS had already left, the hall was silent, and Gu Xi looked at the picture for a long time by himself.

Xiangshan was awakened by a knock on the door. He was taking a nap at that time, the blades of the old table fan whirred, and the cicadas couldn't stop singing outside. Someone knocked on the door, so it was inevitable that he was a little slow, and it took him a long time to hear it.

Opening the door, it turned out to be Dongzi. Xiangshan was surprised:

"Dongzi, you are in a hurry, how did you find here? It's a long way, and it's hot, so hurry up and sit in the house."

Dongzi was sweating all over his face, he waved his hands and said:

"No, Brother Li, let me tell you something. Our company was acquired by someone the day before yesterday, and the boss took his son to go abroad. Now the company is in panic, and I don't know what's going on. Today, the manager of the personnel department suddenly found Me, I said that the new boss is going to have a banquet for the company's top management at night, let me invite you too."

Li Xiangshan pondered this matter in his heart for a moment, then declined politely:

"I have something to do at night, so I won't go."

Dongzi is in a hurry:

"No, I've already pushed you, and they insisted on letting you go, otherwise, can I come all the way here?"

Xiangshan thought for a while, then said:

"I'm a technical person myself. It would be embarrassing to go there. Dongzi, you can help me tell your leaders that I really have something to do. Can this be avoided?"

Dongzi patted his thigh straight:

"My brother! The leader is waiting for my reply, aren't you forcing me to die?"

Xiangshan couldn't resist him, asked the time and place, and promised him that he would be there on time at night.
