Chapter 2483
The Fulfillment of Middle Age
Xu Damao was startled and looked directly at his wife.
If Jiu'er beats him up at the He family's house, he might as well not live anymore.
But Jiu'er smiled and said with her eyes crinkled after hearing He Yuzhu's words, "That's perfect, let's go and film one together sometime."
Xu Damao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that Jiu'er had saved face for him in front of He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu pursed his lips, but he wasn't disappointed.
He knew this would be the outcome.
He's very experienced with this kind of thing.
No matter how harsh a woman is to her husband at home, she must give him face when they go out.
He just said it casually, knowing full well that this would be the outcome. Otherwise, he'd be crazy to try and sow discord between Xu Damao and his wife.
Xu Damao was so frightened, which only shows that his mental fortitude is lacking, and has nothing to do with him.
"Look, look..." Liu Ting sighed several times as the He couple stood at the door watching the Xu couple leave.
He Yuzhu looked at his wife with a bit of confusion.
As if she had been waiting for him, Liu Ting rolled her eyes the moment He Yuzhu looked at her and said, "I'm talking about Jiu'er. You men are all the same, not a single one of you is any good."
"What did I do now?"
"What do you mean, what happened?"
snort···"
These seemingly random words are a common occurrence in the He family.
He Yuzhu looked up at the night sky, rolled his eyes, but had no intention of resisting whatsoever.
There's nothing we can do; it's all his fault.
Liu Haizhong left quietly.
Xu Damao came over and told He Yuzhu about this.
According to Xu Damao, Lao Liu had three sons, but in the end, it was his second son, whom he disliked the most since childhood, who wore mourning clothes for him and saw him off at his bedside.
This is also a great irony.
Xu Damao's statement is not unfounded. If we're talking about who Liu Hai likes the most, it's definitely Liu Guangqi.
When Liu Haizhong was in poor health, Liu Guangtian also sent a telegram to his elder brother.
But Liu Guangqi did not return.
Liu Guangfu is still inside, and it's estimated he won't be able to get out before the Asian Games.
Therefore, only Liu Guangtian and his family of three saw Liu Haizhong off on his final journey.
The Xu family also sent some condolence money. Xu Damao said that Liu Haizhong's departure was not too lonely.
Many of his former colleagues from the steel rolling mill came to see him off.
Liu Haizhong's disciples and followers now constitute a considerable force in the steel rolling mill.
There were dozens of people.
Furthermore, some of his grand-disciples, who were from different generations and had never even met Liu Haizhong, still came over to do their part.
When He Yuzhu heard this news, he was quite moved.
After all, in their past lives, there were Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui...
These three old men were important companions in his life.
Whether they were good or bad, they had witnessed most of his life.
Now, all three of these old men have passed away.
If we're talking about time, I left this world a few years earlier than in my previous life.
Yi Zhonghai committed a crime, and Yan Bugui's situation is also difficult to discuss.
But He Yuzhu always felt that the outcome in Liu Haizhong's life was better than in his previous life.
In his previous life, Comrade Liu ended up all alone.
In this life, at least Liu Guangtian was genuinely wailing and truly grieving for his father's passing.
Furthermore, in the years before Liu Haizhong passed away, he genuinely treated his second son, whom he disliked the most, with sincerity.
This should be considered a kind of luck, or perhaps it's a process of natural selection, a two-way journey.
In the end, Liu Haizhong still managed to raise a 'filial son'.
As parents, considering Liu Haizhong's previous parenting methods, the results he has achieved today are already quite remarkable.
One generation after another, new people emerge, old people pass away. Each family's sorrow is different, but the circumstances are similar.
As people get older, they always have aches and pains here and there.
Even He Daqing has been hospitalized several times.
But he was just scaring himself.
If I catch even a slight cold, I always make one of two phone calls: one is to He Yuzhu.
Even though He Yuzhu promised to take him to the hospital immediately, He Daqing would still call Miss 'Jinlian'.
Then, Miss Jinlian took it even more seriously than He Yuzhu, and wished she could invite the imperial physician to diagnose He Daqing.
This raises another question.
Is it the filial piety of one's children and grandchildren, or the power of personal gain?
It was obvious that Miss 'Golden Lotus' knew her own worth; she was good for nothing except for her beauty.
If she were to develop her career on Hong Kong Island, she would have no choice but to enter some less desirable industries.
If she were in a legitimate industry, she would just be a junior clerk, earning four or five hundred yuan a month.
In Beijing, she could earn three thousand yuan just by serving He Daqing.
If He Daqing were gone, Lou Xiao'e would probably fire her in a heartbeat.
Why keep such a glamorous woman by He Yuzhu's side?
If He Yuzhu really had no taste for meat or vegetables, and something happened between him and Miss 'Jinlian'...
Does she expect to take in a mistress?
Therefore, Miss Jinlian most hoped that He Daqing would live to be a hundred years old.
The key point is that she has tried before.
She also tried to have a little flirtation with He Yuzhu.
But He Yuzhu just wouldn't take the bait, which left Miss Jinlian with no hope.
All she could do was hope that He Daqing would live a few more years.
If He Daqing lives one more day, she can stay in Beijing and earn one more day of high wages.
Of course, He Daqing was also quite capable, although he would complain from time to time about this discomfort and that discomfort.
But every time he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that his physical functions were quite good.
Aside from advising He Daqing to eat a lighter diet, there were no other medical instructions.
Anyway, He Yuzhu felt that his old man should live longer than in his previous life.
To be honest, once you enter your forties, after middle age...
He Yuzhu had no idea what he was living for.
It's definitely more fulfilling than my previous life.
But when it comes to thinking about things for myself, it seems like I only have a few days left.
Needless to say, work-related matters...
In terms of living conditions, he has no worries about food, clothing, housing, or transportation.
The things he usually talks about and considers with Liu Ting are rarely things that are bothering him.
He has elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. He has to consider his children's growth, his father's quirks, and his wife's moods.
But he never thought about himself.
Of course, this doesn't mean that He Yuzhu wasn't happy.
He must have lived a much more fulfilling life than he did in his previous one.
At this time in his previous life, he was already feeling panicked.
At that time, he sensed that the Jia family children were not close to him.
He also realized that Qin Huairu probably had no feelings for him.
But things had already come to that point.
It seems there's no way back.
Looking back would seem to negate most of his life.
Therefore, there is no other way but to go down this path to the bitter end.
They could only cling to the Jia family, hoping for a miracle.
Now, although he rarely experiences a sense of self, he feels a profound sense of fulfillment in his life. (End of Chapter)
