Chapter 1121 Regret
Before Jiang Xiaobai could enter, the people in the store came out.
"Director Xiaobai, it's really you. Why did you suddenly come back? I just glanced around the house and thought I had read it wrong.
I didn’t expect that you are really back. When will you come back... And Brother Mengzi, Beibei..."
The visitor said at a loss, looking particularly excited.
"Just arrived, Liu Laosan, did you open this store?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Yes, I run it. Now there are many people in the village and there are also people who come to work outside. It is inconvenient to go to the village to buy things. I just want to open one by myself, so I can make some money by myself while making it easier for everyone."
Liu Laosan touched his head and said, he was about the same age as Jiang Xiaobai and the others, but he got married early.
Now he is the father of four children, and older ones are already in junior high school.
"I see that you have a lot of customers here. You make a small amount of money. You kid are making a lot of money. Come and see, wow, good guy, you have a watch on your wrist." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile at Liu Laosan.
"It's all for you. Director Xiaobai is my sister-in-law, right?"
"Yes, Xinyi, this is Liu Laosan."
"Hello sister-in-law."
"Hello."
"This is my son, Jiang Langlang."
"Hello uncle." Jiang Langlang looked up and called out obediently.
"Oh, I'm so good." Liu Laosan said, and invited Jiang Xiaobai and others into the house.
"Director Xiaobai, come in and take a look. You're thirsty when you walk over. I'll bring you and a few guests."
Liu Laosan said, and soon brought a bunch of homes and herbal teas over.
"You are also buying the goods and herbal tea?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled.
"It is necessary, and it is placed in the most conspicuous position. This and herbal tea are also from our Huaqing Holdings Company. I must support it." Liu Laosan said with a smile.
"Okay, it's a good thing." Jiang Xiaobai praised. He didn't refuse, and opened the herbal tea and started drinking it.
"Several guests, sorry, the hospitality is not good..." Liu Laosan gave the herbal tea to Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Meng and others handed the herbal tea to Liu Aiguo and others.
"They are not customers." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and helped his wife and son unscrew the bottle cap, while looking at the furnishings in the room.
Liu Laosan didn't understand Jiang Xiaobai's words at all, and said with a smile: "Director Xiaobai, your guest is my guest, our guest in Jianhua Village..."
"No, I mean, they are half of Jianhua Village. They are educated youth who worked with me in the country, Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun, can't remember?"
"Liu Aiguo, Wang Xiaojun, remember how could I forget it? It's just that Brother Liu and Brother Wang have changed so much that they didn't recognize each other for a while. Sorry, sorry..." Liu Laosan apologized repeatedly.
Originally, Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun were a little disappointed. This place was the place where they had struggled, even if it wasn't long.
But they left an indelible impression in their lives. Liu Laosan opened his mouth and was a guest. They were imaginable.
And when Liu Laosan apologized repeatedly, they felt embarrassed again.
He quickly said, "It's not a problem, no need to apologize. We haven't come back for many years, so it's normal not to know each other."
"No, I must apologize. Uncle Huang said that you, the educated youth, were all benefactors of Jianhua Village. Without you, there would be no Jianhua Village. Now, we must remember it in our hearts and tell the next generation how Jianhua Village developed and how it has such a good life today..." Liu Laosan said solemnly.
Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun were both a little dazed, but they didn't expect Liu Laosan to say that.
He spoke with some guilt, "But don't say that, we actually didn't do anything."
"No, Brother Liu, Brother Wang, I'm telling the truth. What is our Jianhua Village like? It's all within a radius of ten miles and eight villages..."
After walking out of Jianhua store, Liu Aiguo suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaobai turned around.
"Brother Xiaobai, I regret it. I regret not staying there." Liu Aiguo looked at the familiar and unfamiliar place, thinking about what Liu Laosan said just now, and suddenly felt very regretful.
"So too." Wang Xiaojun on the side was also in a heavy mood.
Looking back on what I have done over the years, I am busy all day long, and now I am a director.
But how many things have I really done? Looking back on the years before, I suddenly felt that the most meaningful thing I had done was the things I worked hard in Jianhua Village when I was an educated youth.
"Okay, it's all over." Jiang Xiaobai turned around and walked to the two of them, patted them on the shoulders.
"Let's go, go forward." Jiang Xiaobai said in a pun.
The news of Jiang Xiaobai's return soon spread throughout Jianhua Village.
Of course, Li Laosan, Huang Zhongfu, Li Xiaoliu and others knew that Jiang Xiaobai was coming back to hold a gathering of educated youth in the first month.
"The director of Xiaobai is back, I guess it's not bad. I'll get together tomorrow. As long as I have time, Director of Xiaobai will definitely come back today."
"Let's go, let's go and welcome. I'll arrange someone to notify Lao Huang and ask him to come over tonight and let's have a meal together." Several people said, walking outside the factory.
"Director Xiaobai..."
"Oh, Lao San, Xiao Liu, Lao He..." Jiang Xiaobai looked at the few people coming towards him not far away, waved his hand and greeted him.
"The director Xiaobai is back..."
Many families came out on the way to say hello to Jiang Xiaobai and others.
"Director Xiaobai, sister-in-law, Mengzi, Beibei..." A group of people gathered around and greeted him lively.
"Langlang, come and let uncle hug you."
Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun stood beside each other and greeted a group of people, which made people pay attention to the two families.
But I didn't know each other, and thought it was a guest.
It has been more than ten years since they left in 1978 and now in 1991. How could they recognize them?
"This is Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun, the third brother, you can't remember the educated youth we had together..." Jiang Xiaobai introduced.
"Ann, I remember it, I remember it..." Li Laosan remembered that he was the first person in Jianhua Village to come into contact with this group of educated youth.
So I have an impression of many educated youth, and Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun, two people with the best relationship with Jiang Xiaobai, were even more impressed.
It's the time for the educated youth gathering, so when Jiang Xiaobai mentioned it, he and Liu remembered this person.
Li Xiaoliu also quickly greeted Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun, but he had no impression of it.
He Guanghua didn't know even more, and he had no impression at all. He just thought, oh, one of the fifteen educated youths.
But it seemed that something happened in the middle, and there were only fourteen left. Except for Director Xiaobai and Director Wang Meng, there were only twelve left.
