I didn't expect this tape measure to be a personal item that Gu Xiao has used for ten years... Ten years, what have I kept by my side for ten years
Even if the pure hand-made violin that Franzand started buying ten years ago, the total time spent with him is probably only five or six years. But even if he left it idle at home for a long time, he was reluctant to give this piano away.
Not to mention that he will have feelings after a long time, it also means a growing memory for him. Seeing that violin, Zhang Siyi can recall the feeling of being in love with the violin when he first fell in love with the violin. I can't wait to sleep with my violin in my arms at night.
What's more, a tape measure that an architect can't do without is priceless, like a gamer's accustomed keyboard, a writer's accustomed pen, or a billiard player's accustomed cue.
But Gu Xiao actually gave such a meaningful thing to himself, and really expressed his birthday and career blessings...
Zhang Siyi thought of the lens photo he just posted, and hurriedly went back to delete it, but at this moment, the phone suddenly rang - it was his mother's call!
Zhang Siyi randomly pressed the answer button, and as soon as the call was connected, Zhang's mother's gentle voice came from the opposite side: "Sisi, I'm busy during the day, I didn't call you, happy birthday!"
Zhang Siyi is in a turmoil now, and he is not in the mood to listen to his mother's blessing. He just thinks of what Gu Xiao said in the daytime, and wonders: "Mom, did you call Gu Xiao yesterday?"
Mother Zhang: "Yes, he carried so many things for you. You told me yesterday that he confiscated the crab paste. I must make a phone call to thank him."
Zhang Siyi: "What else did you tell him? He took me out to inspect the underground parking lot today and said you told him I like to eat Colonel's chicken nuggets!"
Zhang's mother laughed "chichi": "Oh, he will take you to eat today!"
Zhang Siyi's mouth twitched, "We didn't eat Colonel's chicken nuggets!"
Zhang's mother explained: "I just wanted to thank him. I didn't expect to chat for a long time and said a lot of things."
Zhang Siyi was a little mad: "What do you two have to talk about, what did you talk about?"
Zhang's mother: "Of course we can talk about you, let's talk about some things about your childhood, how do you cry when someone pokes your nose through the mask when you learn fencing? Mu Tou was teased by your father that he was a carpenter, and you still got angry and didn’t talk to him. Later, I bought you Colonel’s chicken nuggets and you forgive him... Oh, by the way, you also mentioned that you worshipped him in high school, during that time I studied very hard, and I still posted the admissions poster of the Department of Architecture of T University on the wall of my room. I didn’t pass the entrance examination, and I was alone at home with red eyes and uncomfortable for several days. Later, I discussed with your father to send you abroad. , I asked what you think, you jumped three feet high, begging and making a noise, you must go... "
Zhang Siyi: "..."
Ahhh! Zhang Siyi was about to collapse, why did his mother tell Gu Xiao all these embarrassing things! How will he face Gu Xiao in the future? ! Why are his parents so cruel to their sons! ! !
Zhang's mother said again: "I accidentally told him that today is your birthday, and he said, since you admire him so much and like architecture so much, then he will give you a small gift at that time." Zhang's mother was curious. Said, "Did he send it? What did he send?"
Zhang Siyi: "..."
Is that where the tape measure came from? God!
Zhang Siyi said angrily, "You don't know! I won't tell you!"
Zhang's mother didn't get angry after hearing this, but laughed for a while, Zhang Siyi heard the laughter and thought of a cabinet of books that his mother hid in his room, the whole person got goosebumps, and quickly changed the subject: "Gu Xiao is usually very cold. Yes, Mom, how can you talk to him for so long? Are you pestering him to talk so much?"
It would be a shame if that was the case! Zhang Siyi now feels that having a rotten mother gives him more headaches than a tormenting boss.
Zhang's mother said strangely: "How come, he is very talkative."
… talkative? Gu Xiao? Zhang Siyi couldn't connect the two, it would be more appropriate to change talkativeness into vicious tongue.
Zhang's mother said with emotion: "He is also very funny, hey, such a good boy is rare now."
Zhang Siyi said speechlessly: "Hey! Mom! You already have father and me!"
Zhang's mother: "Hehe, Mom knows, okay, I won't be idle and call your boss every day, just this time, don't think about it. Remember to eat something good for your birthday today, and you will be going to work tomorrow. ? Rest early in the evening."
"Understood." Zhang Siyi hung up the phone, as if he had rolled around in a frying pan, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
After two seconds, he realized that he forgot to ask his mother if Gu Xiao had expressed his views on himself on the phone...
Forget it, he still has to delete that shot now, Zhang Siyi quickly switched back to WeChat Moments, and was about to start, but found that Fu Xinhui had already liked it!
"… @&￥… "It hurts!
Now, if Gu Xiao saw this news, would he feel that he was mocking him for only giving him a tape measure
Zhang Siyi felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he simply took another photo of the tape measure and posted it, racking his brains to think of a text description: "The tape measure sent by the boss, I will work hard. [Struggle]"
Then he liked the message that Gu Xiao sent, and replied with two words: "Thank you."
When I went back to look at the photo of the tape measure I posted, there were already a series of replies below—
Jiang Hai: "Hahahahaha!"
Ren Mengxuan: "Hahahahaha! [Candle] [Candle]"
Su Yuan: "Sure enough, it's time to work hard. I sympathize with you. [laughing]"
Tian Yujing: "Pfft, are you posting two photos in a row to highlight your friends?"
Fu Xinhui: "[smile]"
…
Uh, seems a bit self-defeating? !
After a while, colleagues in the company also gave Zhang Siyi a thumbs up, and everyone was still discussing in the group.
Lele: "Wow! Fourth Aunt! Gu Xiao gave you that tape measure?"
Fourth Aunt: "... um."
Xu Jia: "Ah, I'm so envious! Why does the boss always give you something!"
Xuan Xuan: "I'm so envious of woo woo."
Little Pig: "Although I don't lack a tape measure, what's wrong with seeing my fourth aunt being so loved and jealous?"
Chicken Wings: "I have been working with the boss for three years, and I have followed him from the x-yard to Wujing. I have seen this tape measure several times. He seems to cherish it. How can I give it away?"
Sister Qiao: "Too hateful!"
…
Zhang Siyi silently closed WeChat, daring not to bubble up anymore.
He took out the tape measure that Gu Xiao had given him, put it in his palm again, and observed it carefully.
I saw that the color of the outer edge of the tape measure had been ground away, revealing the gray-white bottom, and the lock was also worn a lot, but it would make a crisp clicking sound when it was pulled. The most comfortable is the iron ruler, which comes out as soon as it is pulled. It is very smooth. The numbers on the ruler have become looming due to long-term use.
Zhang Siyi played with it for a while by pulling out and retracting, pulling out and retracting, and then measured the length of his desk, 1200mm, depth, 720mm, height, 780mm... It's so easy to use, with this thing, I won't go to the toilet in the future. Need to measure the compartment size with your finger.
Putting the tape measure back in his hand again, Zhang Siyi's fingers carefully stroked every inch of the tape measure, as if he could imagine how many ups and downs it had accompanied Gu Xiao in the past ten years, how Gu Xiao used it repeatedly, through It remembers set after set of data.
Knowing its meaning, the ordinary old tape measure seems to have a soul and vitality between the invisible.
Zhang Siyi held it in his hand cherishingly, his heartbeat slightly accelerated.
If he went back to high school six or seven years ago, and Gu Xiao gave him such a tape measure, he would probably hug the idol's thigh with excitement, and fanatically said that he would follow to the end, right
What happened to him now? To be so picky, I don't know what to do, and I still complained about Gu Xiao's inattentiveness in giving gifts in front of Fu Xinhui.
Zhang Siyi's heart was sour and warm, and he was so moved and guilty that he almost cried.
At this moment, Fu Xinhui suddenly pushed open the door and came in and asked, "It's almost time to eat, have you seen the camera, how is it?"
Zhang Siyi blinked his sour eyes twice: "Not yet."
Fu Xinhui frowned and said, "Then why are you in the room for so long?"
Zhang Siyi: "Play, play with a tape measure..."
Fu Xinhui: "..."
After the meal, Zhang Siyi went back to the room and saw that Gu Xiao had not responded to the photos he sent or the "thank you" he said to him.
After a whole day of mood swings, Zhang Siyi was too embarrassed to harass the other party again. He thought, anyway, Gu Xiao said that he will be very happy if he works hard, and he will show his gratitude to Gu Xiao slowly in the future.
When he arrived at the company the next day, Zhang Siyi received employee birthday benefits, a 500-yuan supermarket gift certificate and a cake card from the personnel department.
When his colleagues learned that he was celebrating his birthday, they all expressed their blessings. Du Ruixuan and Xu Jia also came to visit Gu Xiao's tape measure and expressed their envy.
Zhang Siyi wanted to go to Gu Xiao's office to pick up his job as soon as he went to work, but Gu Xiao was called away by the director early in the morning. It was said that it was because the project in Z city won the bid. Rewarded.
After waiting for an hour, Zhang Siyi saw Gu Xiao coming back. He immediately got up and knocked on the door of Gu Xiao's office eagerly.
Gu Xiao was still the same as usual, hiding all his emotions under his indifferent expression, and didn't mention what happened yesterday.
Because he visited the parking lot, he naturally assigned Zhang Siyi the task of designing the parking lot. Zhang Siyi didn't have any complaints and nodded obediently. Next, he carefully found that the jack-o-lantern originally placed on Gu Xiao's desk had disappeared. .
Yes, it has been more than half a month, and the fresh pumpkin must have been thrown away by Gu Xiao soon after it was put away.
Although he knew that it was reasonable to be thrown away, for some reason, Zhang Siyi felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
