C219 The Taste of Happiness and Happiness

"Don't worry, from now on, I will let go of my previous unhappiness and work hard. Not because you promoted me, but because I saw something in you that I don't have. Compared to you, I'm ashamed. You are a woman, you should be weak, but your heart is strong, even stronger than a man's, and I am a man, I should be strong, but I always pretend to be weak. In fact, we can meet a lot of people in our life, whether they love each other or not. We can spend a day, a month, a year or more together. But when it's time to leave, we should all be happy and separate. Then we spent it with the next person, another day, another month, another year. In this world, one had to be content, ordinary, and even more grateful. One could not be willful or forceful. Now I understand that I was willful and forceful before, and that I couldn't get along with myself. " Zhu Qingyun continued.

Du Ruiqi did not expect Zhu Qing to say this much in one breath. This was the most talk she heard from him in the past eight years, and also the most touching time. It was as if this man had suddenly grown up, gained enlightenment, completely understood the past and the present. He had become so wise and open-minded. If this advancement gave him such great enlightenment, then she felt that everything she had done for him was worth it.

For the past eight years, they had left the love that he had betrayed them, and this was also a huge burden pressing down on Du Ruiqi's heart. The feeling of letting him down, always weighed down on her heart, making her cry in her dreams so many times. She knew his pain, his escape from his hatred for her, she had seen it all. Every time she saw his displeasure, she felt the same pain. She had hoped that through her communication with him, she would be able to free him from the pain in his heart as soon as possible, but it had all been in vain. It was impossible for him to be free unless he had thought it through and comprehended it. She had thought that this day would come in a very, very long time. She hadn't expected that this promotion would cause such a drastic change in his attitude towards life. His release was also her release. Only when both sides were relieved did this matter come to a close. It was only then that their relationship truly entered a stage of completion and rebirth. Ending the past grudges, starting to understand the present, from a pair of former lovers, to a happy cooperation between the upper and lower levels, to be able to understand each other only by mutual colleagues and friends. The most regrettable thing in life is that you easily give up what you shouldn't have, stubbornly insisting on what you shouldn't have. Sometimes, giving up was the true beginning. Today, Zhu Qingyun's heart had been completely relieved and given up. For this day, Du Ruiqi had to wait for eight years.

"Qingyun, I'm really happy that you can think like this." She did not avoid his gaze in the least, and said: "I finally heard you personally say these words to me. I thought that in my entire life, you would never forgive me, and that we would never be able to sit together and talk. Qing Yun, this is the rebirth of both of us, the rebirth of our hearts. From this day onwards, we will be true colleagues, friends, and I believe that we will definitely cooperate happily! "

"Alright, I'll definitely cooperate with your work. Do whatever you need me to do. As long as you give me an order, I'll do my best!" Zhu Qingyun said.

Looking at the tears in Du Ruiqi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel moved and gentle in her heart. He was regretting it now. Why didn't she understand it earlier, comprehend it earlier, dissolve the knots in their hearts earlier, get along with each other, and work properly? Oh, I hope it's not too late!

Humans were actually emotional slaves most of the time. The thing they could not control the most was their inner emotions. He clearly loved a person, yet in his heart he hated her to the point of life, yet he wanted to use this method of hate to transmit his love. This kind of self-torture, Zhu Qingyun deeply understood, hating his own heart to the point of being riddled with holes and scars; this kind of feeling was too unbearable! People were like this. Sometimes, even though they said that they had let things go, they always lost to reality when they were smiling and intoxicated; sometimes, even though it was clearly the wrong decision, they still bitterly persevered; sometimes, even though they knew it was a love without results, they were still unwilling to let it go.

And today's conversation, had turned a whole new page in Du Ruiqi's and Zhu Qingyun's lives. To put down the burden in one's heart, without any debts in one's heart, to work and live with such a spirit, that was true freedom and happiness.

When Zhu Qingyun got home from work, he was in a rare good mood.

His parents had already prepared food at home and were waiting for him to come home from work. Wu Shufang also came back from the shop early and took his son to do homework. The rose in the garden was blooming, and the two small citrus trees were adorned with tiny yellow oranges.

This autumn was the harvest time for Zhu Qingyun's family.

Zhu Qing pushed open the door, and snorted as he walked to Wu Shufang's side.

Wu Shufang was sitting beside Zhu Tianliang. Seeing Zhu Qingyun come in, she raised her head and looked at him, only to realize that his face was flushed red with excitement.

"Did he get promoted?" So happy! " Wu Shufang said while smiling. She knew that her man hoped for a promotion the most. They were looking forward to making a fortune. He only looked forward to promotion.

"Hur hur, that's true too." Zhu Qingyun said with a silly smile.

"What do you mean 'neither'?" Is it true or not? " Wu Shufang asked, puzzled.

"I guess so!" Zhu Qingyun smiled and said, "It was just posted before the official announcement, so it might be time for you to take the position of vice minister."

"AHH!" It's true! " Wu Shufang immediately jumped up, and wrapped her arms around Zhu Qing's neck, and began to giggle! Was there anything more joyful than the fact that his man could be an official? No! In this family, she made money and Zhu Qingyun made money for the cause. In the end, Zhu Qingyun's career was just a step by step rise in rank. Their family did not lack money, but what they lacked was Zhu Qingyun's official position. Although Wu Shufang hadn't read any books, she still knew the principle of a rich wife being able to live a happy life. If a man became an official, then she would be the most proud official wife! What glory, what pride! Her man was only slightly over thirty years old and was already able to become the vice head of Ministry of Propaganda. At least among her classmates, she was the only one! The husband that she married is a promising one. He has already become a small official in the county council's department. Hur Hur, I'm so happy!

Zhu Qingyun happily hugged Wu Shufang and flew around the courtyard. For once, the two of them embraced each other and flew around again. However, others didn't know where this couple's happiness came from.

Zhu Qingyun's parents came out from the kitchen and saw that their son and wife were getting intimate with each other in the yard. They looked at each other for a moment, then opened their chapped mouths and smiled in gratification. Seeing that his parents were so happy, Zhu Tianliang put down the homework and also came to join in the fun. He ran to Zhu Qing's side and pulled his clothes, calling out: "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I want to transfer too!"

Zhu Qingyun laughed, and after releasing Wu Shufang, he picked up his son and started spinning happily!

The father and son duo burst out into laughter again!

This was the happiest day for Zhu Qingyun when he moved into this small room! It was also the happiest day since Zhu Qingyun left the Du Jia Village and entered the county city! He truly felt the taste of happiness! This was the feeling of happiness! What could be happier and happier than that?

During dinner, his parents' eyes opened wide in shock when they heard that Zhu Qingyun was going to be promoted to vice minister! This was a high-ranking official! In the small village of the Zhu Family Shop, there had not been any cadres from the county council! Aiyo, this little son of the Zhu Family who was previously disliked was really so promising! Zhu Qingyun's father suddenly felt that Zhu Qingyun had brought honor to his old Zhu Family! He immediately took out some wine from the cupboard and said, "Qingyun, let's have a good drink tonight and celebrate for the Zhu family! Son, good job! Father is the happiest today, happier than you were when you jumped out of the countryside for the Teacher Qualification Examination! "Do well, Father believes that you will bring greater honor and glory to our Zhu Family!"

The father and son duo filled their wine cups, clinked them loudly, and drank it all in one gulp!

The next day, Zhu Qingyun came to his uncle's office to tell him the good news.

He would come to work in the morning, read the newspapers, drink some tea, and then return home to take a nap. When he was late at night, he would return to sit in the hall, this was his daily lifestyle.

From the initial unaccustomed feeling, to the slow habit, to the numbness now, his heart had already died. In this lifetime, he might have been beaten into old age in this cold palace. The past no longer belonged to him. Everything had become plain, and everything had become memories. Anything could be accepted as long as it passed.

Seeing Zhu Qingyun come in, Wang Jiancai knew that he must be here to announce the good news.

"Uncle, I'll treat you to lunch today. Let's go out and have a good drink together, how about that?" Zhu Qing Yun sat across Wang Jiancai and said while grinning.

"I picked up a gold ingot or a black hat. I'm so happy!" Wang Jiancai said with a smile.

"I don't care for gold ingots, but I like black muslin hats." Zhu Qingyun said.

"Hehe, your luck is pretty good, kid!" Wang Jiancai said as he looked at Zhu Qing.

"Uncle, you already know about it?" Zhu Qingyun pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Silly brat, the public notice has been released, and everyone in county compound knows about it. No matter how cold my place is, there should be some information about it, right?" Wang Jiancai said.

"Heh heh, I know that too. Uncle must have already known about this news. However, I still want to share this happiness with Uncle. How about I invite you over at noon? " Zhu Qingyun said.

"Alright, let's go have a drink." Wang Jiancai said happily.
