Take biscuit to preparing to tear apart when me plastic when packing, was made stop by father.
"Princes and dukes sends you Mom this. " father is saying, had accepted these provision cautiously, the cupboard that is put in me to be not worn quite most top layer. Because of the arrival of princes and dukes, father goes into the street bought wine pork, still asked for leave to the factory on a special trip. Because the mother weighs a cold, have no appetite for food, bedfast, did not appear all the time.
Think formerly eat lunch, princes and dukes can leave. Cannot think of, he is going back on his word not to go however, a little while ground of be pleased with oneself tells about those who remove him from alarm experience, it is with hands clasped behind back a little while in the courtyard pace, killtime.

Princes and dukes is aware of from the face of my Mom peculiar, turn and come with oneself example I and little sister learn encourage well, "Change poor life through learning ability only. I can have today, rely on to read conscientiously completely " .
He says the first his job is rustic Chinese teacher, unwilling later commonplace, make a determined effort the figure is strong, one's deceased father went up public security.

" the life that refer retires partly currently, he is very satisfactory also, "You say I still pursue a what kind of, children is grown already, work work, marry a person marry a person, I want to go to work to go up, do not want to sleep in the home " .
Perhaps be the sake that drank wine, conversation of princes and dukes begins to be muddy. He mentions oneself become rich classics -- open black store, "This year, normal retail sales does not make money. Normal retail sales does not make money..
"Still be you can be done, our crop common people which dare. " my Mom says.

He still says he uses his legal knowledge, modify a contract for many enterprises, increase of help enterprise implementation is the biggest change. Same word, he still is met the face before me, with Miaoyu repeat listens to my Mom.
The little sister listens fix eyes on, and I begin to suspect somewhat to this. After all I right now had read junior high school, experience and experience relatively widened before many.
