see you in spring

Chapter 159 Make up for three mistakes

Liu Quantao took the express delivery back and looked for scissors to open the box.

"In the small wooden drawer box on top of the shoe cabinet." Sun Yan said after watching him linger there for a long time.

"Oh." Liu Quantao hurriedly looked for the drawer box. Sun Yan had done this kind of thing before. He had never done it before, so he didn't know where to put things.

Opening the box, Liu Quantao was a little surprised when he saw a stack of masks inside: "Are masks available online now?"

In front of the child, Sun Yan couldn't ignore him, so she could only explain: "Dongqing and Jia Lie sent it to us."

"Can they buy masks?" Liu Quantao saw that Sun Yan had finally talked to him. Of course, he couldn't miss this opportunity and quickly continued the conversation.

Sun Yan glanced at her two sons and said patiently: "The Desheng Group where Jia Lie works has established a new branch company specializing in medical equipment. Now Dongqing is the technical manager of the branch. These masks are made by Dongqing and R&D The team made them together, their internal staff supplied masks, and Dongqing and Jia Lie sent us some."

Liu Quantao was stunned. He was more surprised that Dongqing became the manager than the mask.

Liu Quantao found it incredible that a person who had been away from the workplace for so long became the technical manager of a branch company as soon as he took up the job.

"I didn't expect Jia Lie to be quite capable." After a few seconds of silence, Liu Quantao suddenly said this.

Sun Yan understood the meaning of his words, and she looked disgusted.Liu Quantao's words are like saying that people like her and Dongqing who have left the workplace are as useless as waste. There is no other way to return to the workplace except relying on others.

She retorted: "What does this have to do with Jia Lie? This is Dongqing's own ability. He took out the drawings of the mask machine and worked with the company team to build the mask production line. He did it with his own strength." Not everyone in this position has to rely on relationships and connections to gain a foothold.”

Her words stung Liu Quantao. He really relied on his immediate boss, Mr. Wang, for everything. In order to keep his position and salary, he even had to take the blame for Mr. Wang's cheating.

Seeing the disdainful look on Sun Yan's face, Liu Quantao felt mixed emotions.

"That Holly... is quite powerful." He added nonchalantly, as if he was apologizing for his previous words.

"A capable person can stand up again at any time." Sun Yan raised her head and said every word.

"Well, Dongqing... was a top student when I was in school." Liu Quantao's voice was a little dry. A few years ago when he was flourishing in the workplace, Dongqing was the house cook at home.At every New Year's gathering, Liu Quantao looked down on Dongqing from the bottom of his heart when he saw Dongqing, who was once proud and arrogant, now could only hang around his wife and children, and couldn't even support himself.I thought that Dongqing's life would be over like this, but I didn't expect that an epidemic would change Liu Quantao from a regional manager to an ordinary salesman, and Dongqing from a house husband to a manager of the technical department.

It's really unpredictable.

Liu Quantao carefully concealed his disappointment. After experiencing this epidemic of escaping death, he had already opened up a lot.He silently put the mask away, went to the toilet to wash his hands, and came back and sat at the dinner table.

Seeing that Sun Yan hadn't eaten yet, he consciously went to bring out all the food: "Eat quickly."

Sun Yan had just played with her two sons for a while, and now she was really hungry.She glanced at the food Liu Quantao brought out, walked to the dining table, and ate it politely.

She has been serving him and their whole family all these years. Now he just cooked a meal for her. What can she do to be polite to him?

"Are you... looking for a job?" He looked at her and asked cautiously.

Sun Yan stopped her chopsticks and glanced at him: "Is there any problem?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I, I mean, you don't have to force yourself too much. Although I am no longer the regional manager, if the salesperson at the headquarters does a good job, his income will not be less. You don't have to worry too much."

Sun Yan put down her chopsticks: "I am looking for a job to support myself and my children. It has nothing to do with you."

He originally wanted to comfort her, saying that even if he couldn't find a job, there was no need to worry, he could still continue to support his family.Now that he heard what she said, he could only shut up.

There was a chill between the two of them.

"Dad, it's been a long time since you rode a horse with us." The youngest son suddenly ran to Liu Quantao and said.

Liu Quantao, who was silent, paused: "Okay, daddy will play with you."

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground, propped his hands on the floor, and greeted his two sons, "Get on the horse."

Sun Yan looked at Liu Quantao, who had lost almost a quarter of his weight on the ground. He had been playing this game with his two sons before, and he was lying on the ground like a fat seal, with every corner round.Now the shoulder blades and spine are bulging. When her two sons sit on it, she is worried that his waist will be broken.

The younger son excitedly ran over and rode in front. Liu Quantao looked struggling, but he still raised his head and said to the older son: "Lele, come up quickly."

Naturally, the eldest son also wanted to play, but he still took a look at his mother first.

Lele has a delicate mind. In his heart, he has divided his father, grandma and uncle who bullied his mother into one group, and he and his mother are in the same group.If he plays with his father in front of his mother now, it would be tantamount to betraying his mother. He doesn't want to make his mother sad, but he really wants to play this game with his father and brother.

"Lele, your weight and height have increased now, and dad can't support you." Sun Yan was worried that Liu Quantao wouldn't be able to hold up his eldest son if he sat on it, and would fall down and crush the child, so she didn't let Lele go.

Lele stopped obediently, but could not hide the disappointment on his face.

Liu Quantao didn't want to see his son disappointed, so he quickly said: "Dad is fine. Let's just ride slowly. Come up."

Sun Yan still wanted to speak, but Liu Quantao winked at her. Sun Yan glanced at her eldest son, who was looking at his younger brother with envy on his face.

Sun Yan thought that since she gave birth to the second child, the eldest brother in the family has changed from being the center of everyone's attention to the elder brother who has to let his younger brother do everything.He was forced to grow up, but he couldn't show his dissatisfaction, otherwise he would be ignorant.He obviously wanted to play so much, and saw that his younger brother could play as he wanted without any scruples, but he could only stand aside and watch, because he was the older brother, so he had to be obedient and sensible.

But the more sensible he is, the more injustice he suffers.Isn't this like her?
Thinking that whenever she was bullied, her eldest son was the only one who stood by her side to help her.Sun Yan's heart tightened and she finally relaxed: "You can play if you want, but be careful."

With Sun Yan's consent, the eldest son finally happily ran towards the "big horse" on the ground and stepped on it.

With the weight of his eldest son, Liu Quantao was so pressed that he could not move.His hands and legs trembled for a few times before he stood still.

The youngest son was already impatient with waiting. He held Liu Quantao's hair on his back and said, "Drive, drive, drive! Go, go, go."

Liu Quantao moved his knees with difficulty, and the place where they were in contact with the ground felt as if two steel needles had been inserted into him. The pain made him stagger.

Seeing him gritting his teeth and moving forward, Sun Yan was afraid that the children would fall, but also didn't want to spoil the children's fun, so she could only follow him, waiting to lend a helping hand at any time.

After walking around the room, the two children became more and more excited and had no intention of coming down.Liu Quantao, who was on the ground, had turned pale.

"Okay, come down here. Let dad rest for a while." Sun Yan was really worried.

"No, I still want to play." The youngest son was having fun, but he was unwilling to give up. He kept pulling Liu Quantao's hair, making him grin.

The eldest son looked at Sun Yan's face and hesitated whether to come down.

Liu Quantao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, daddy, let's make one more turn. After the turn is over, you guys can come down, okay?"

"Okay." The younger son was so excited that he clamped his legs on top and urged him to leave quickly.

Liu Quantao endured the excruciating pain in his knees and hands and crawled forward step by step.

Sun Yan slowly followed behind them. Just when Liu Quantao climbed to the door between his mother and brother's room, a heartbreaking pain suddenly came from his lower back. He couldn't hold on and leaned forward, falling down.

Sun Yan, who was behind, had quick eyes and quick hands. She grabbed a child by the collar and pulled them down directly.

Liu Quantao lay on the floor, unable to move.The pain in the lower back spread from a small origin just now to the entire waist in an instant.At this time, he was like a trapped animal that had fallen into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The eldest son ran over and pulled Liu Quantao off the ground.

The features on Liu Quantao's face wrinkled together: "Don't, don't touch me, let me slow down."

Sun Yan quickly pulled her eldest son away, squatted down and asked, "Are you having cramps?"

Liu Quantao was speechless, shook his head, and broke into a cold sweat.

The old woman who had been hiding in the room finally couldn't bear it anymore. She put on a mask and opened the door. When she saw Liu Quantao lying on the ground, she wanted to help her but didn't dare. She could only yell at Sun Yan: "What are you still doing?" Why don’t you help him up quickly?”

Sun Yan judged that Liu Quantao probably had a muscle cramp. She knew that she couldn't touch him right away. At this moment, hearing the old woman's tone, Sun Yan simply pulled her two sons and turned back to the room.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" the old woman shouted anxiously from behind.

Sun Yan closed the door forcefully, shutting out the noise.

"Look, this is the wife you married with all your heart. She doesn't care about you falling to the ground." The old woman cursed and didn't reach out to help her son.

"Mom, you... stop shouting." Liu Quantao, who was on the ground, endured the pain and was very angry.

The old woman was anxious and ran over and knocked hard on her youngest son's door: "Come out quickly and help your brother up."

Liu Quanhai has been hiding in his room pretending to be dead, but now that his mother has done this to him, he can no longer pretend.I could only put on my mask and the raincoat I had kept behind the door, and slowly opened the door.

With Liu Quanhai's support, Liu Quantao finally lay back on the sofa.

The old woman's curses at Sun Yan's door became more and more unpleasant. Sun Yan covered the ears of her two sons in the room to prevent them from hearing the dirty words.At this time, she made up her mind that no matter how high the price was, she could not leave her two sons in this home.

Liu Quantao, who was lying on the sofa, couldn't bear it anymore. He endured the pain in his back and shouted at his mother: "Shut up!"
