It's time that hurts people so much.
I grabbed the photo with both hands, trying to tear it in half. I hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't do it. Forget it, just think of it as commemorating those twenty years together.
I tucked the photos away and went back to bed to sleep.
The pace of Jiangcheng always feels surprisingly slow. When the hair of the fifth-grade students has turned white, it is finally time to return to Haicheng. My parents prepared their luggage early in the morning and brought a lot of local specialties from Jiangcheng. I leaned on the dining table bored, holding the lard in my mother's hand, and said, "You don't cook, so bring grandma's lard with you." Why are you leaving?"
My mother glared at me: "Who said I won't cook?"
I immediately became interested: "Hey, has the sun come out from the west? You actually have the consciousness to cook." As soon as the words came out, I felt that this tone was very similar to Liang Sheng, and the smile at the corner of my mouth slowly froze. .
"Young poor man, you don't know how to cook." My mother had no choice but to fight with me for this kind of thing.
I nodded: "Okay, let's both start learning when we go back, okay?"
My mother nodded with satisfaction, and then murmured to herself: "The lard your grandma boils is so fragrant. Even if you don't cook, it's delicious if you put it in when cooking noodles."
I ignored her. After breakfast, my uncle came down from upstairs and asked me: "Yanyan, Jiang Duo really likes reading your books. Can you take a few books to Haicheng for her to read when she has nothing to do?"
It was rare that Jiang Duo had the same interests as me, so I waved my hand: "Take it as you like, just remember to exchange it back."
Those are all memories from my student days, and I couldn’t bear to throw away a copy.
The uncle snapped his fingers: "Okay, no problem. I'll thank my niece for her."
"Screw you, you're already a niece before you even know your horoscope." I rolled my eyes at him, then turned back to watch my mother tossing the bottles and jars on the table.
Jiang Duo originally bought a bus ticket for tomorrow, but her uncle thought it was unsafe for her as a girl, so she had to refund the ticket and take our bus back to Haicheng. Before leaving, I patted my brother-in-law on the shoulder: "When will we move to Haicheng?"
What I mean is that it's easy to be with Jiang Duo, and that I'm a safe and secure partner.
My brother-in-law smiled sheepishly: "Who will take care of your grandma when I leave?"
"Okay, courtesy is reciprocal, and I will help you take care of Jiang Duo."
The uncle nodded: "It's just what I want."
Jiang Duo and I were sitting in the back row. She was reading "The Old Man and the Sea" while she was holding it in her arms. I glanced at it a few times and couldn't help spoiling the plot behind it. Judging from Jiang Duo's expression, she probably If you don’t like my spoilers, I turned my head and looked at the street scene outside in a daze. Before long, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
When my parents woke me up, Jiang Duo just got out of the car. I glanced at the street outside the window. I had already reached Haicheng, but it was still on the eastern outskirts of the city. I asked Jiang Duo: "Do you live here?"
Jiang Duo had already stepped out with one foot and looked back at me: "Well, the rent here is cheap."
"Isn't it inconvenient for you to go to work?" I asked.
"Fortunately, it's only two bus rides away." Jiang Duo replied softly.
For someone like me who just takes a taxi when it's troublesome, I said without hesitation: "Then you can move in with me. I live near the China World Trade Center and it should be more convenient to go to your workplace." .”
In fact, I have other thoughts. With her living with me, my parents will not object to me continuing to live in a rented house. Occasionally, when I don't come home at night, she can hide it for me.
Jiang Duo glanced at his parents in the front row and said awkwardly, "That's so embarrassing."
My mother was happy and said, "It's okay. We don't worry about Yanyan living alone. Although her place is not big, it is still enough for two people to live in. If it doesn't work, I will change it to two bedrooms and one living room for you."
Jiang Duo hesitated, and I knew she was shaken, so I continued: "Do you have a lot of stuff here? If there is a lot, pack it up and tell me, and I will drive over and help you move it."
Jiang Duo replied directly: "I have nothing."
"Then I'll come directly over tomorrow to help you move, and introduce you to a good job by the way." I winked at her.
Jiang Duo asked: "What job?"
"The position is not certain yet. The platform will definitely be better than your hotel, and the benefits will be much better." Although I haven't spoken to Liang Sheng yet, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a position for Jiang Duo. If Yuan Sheng headquarters can't do it, the branch office will also be able to do it. no problem. Jiang Duo is handsome and a college student. It is better to be a company clerk than a hotel public relations officer.
"Thank you Yanyan." Jiang Duo is not very good at talking, so I smiled, "Shouldn't you call me niece?"
Jiang Duo smiled awkwardly.
It's almost lunch time when I get home, but I've eaten too much breakfast and still haven't digested it very much. I just want to go find Liang Sheng and the others right away. But my dad was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the coffee table had been replaced with a new one. My mom was in the kitchen sorting out the bottles and cans she brought back from my grandma, and I was leaning on the chair, spinning around in boredom.
When I heard my dad's cell phone ring, I was instantly hopeful.
"What?" My father's shocked voice suddenly came from the living room. My mother and I rushed out almost at the same time. My father held the phone and looked pale: "Which hospital is it in?"
"Okay, I'll be right over." He just said these few words, picked up his coat, walked out, and said to us: "Lao Gao had an accident. I'm going to the hospital."
My mother asked anxiously: "Has something happened to Lao Gao? Was it a car accident?"
"No, I fell from upstairs. I'm in the hospital for rescue now. I'll take a look and talk about it when I get back." My dad said a few words and hurriedly went out.
I frowned and became a little nervous. I asked my mother: "My dad's colleagues are getting into trouble one after another. Is there someone deliberately taking revenge?"
I always feel that this matter is not that simple. I have always suspected Mr. Jin. That time in the restaurant, he made such a vow that he must make those people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau look good. I don’t think he was speaking cruelly while drunk. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau was ordered to do so. In order to do things, he was blocked from several places. He deserved to hate them, and it was not impossible to retaliate one by one.
My mother glared at me: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just an accident. There's no such thing as revenge. Don't you want to go find Liang Sheng? Why don't you go quickly at this time?"
My eyes lit up and I suddenly lost all other moods. I said sweetly: "Mom, you are really the most understanding and righteous mother in the world."
"Go, go, remember to come back early, so your dad knows he'll be scolded again."
"Know it."
I ran to the room with joy, changed into a brown dress, paired with a small and exquisite cross-body bag, and went out.
I called Liang Sheng on the way, and Liang Sheng said that Chu Jin and the others happened to be there. They knew I was coming back today and were waiting for me at the Hot Spring World.
I thought it was just Chu Jin and Xuan Xuan, plus Director Qin at most, but I didn't expect He Feimo was there. Seeing him, I was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. Because there are always some unsightly images flashing through my mind.
According to the normal process, it should be eating, soaking in hot springs, and then playing cards.
He Feimo sat opposite me, his eyes light. This seemed to be the first time he participated in our event alone, that is, without Fang Ying and Liu Dawei.
Everyone here made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened that day, as if everyone was cut off. Since they all pretended to be nothing, I treated He Feimo as usual.
When they were talking, I would chime in from time to time.
Later, when I mentioned that Feiye Real Estate might expand its scale in the New Year, I remembered my grandma’s advice. I turned my head and smiled at Liang Sheng, who was smiling. Liang Sheng frowned and said, “If you have something to say, tell me something.”
I smiled and said, "Can I use the back door? My brother-in-law's girlfriend wants to change her job. Do you think you can give her a position?"
"Oh, Mr. Liang dare not respond to your girlfriend's words." Chu Jin teased with a smile.
Liang Sheng pretended to be hesitant and pretended to weigh the importance: "It depends on the conditions."
I subconsciously understood what conditions he wanted me to give in exchange. I glanced at He Feimo opposite, and I lowered my voice and said, "What do you want?"
Thief Chu Jin smiled and said: "Hey, this is a posture that can give you anything you want. Boss Liang, you are very lucky."
I can't understand the thinking of these men at all. I don't know if I'm a prostitute or if they are just slutty. Liang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "At least you have graduated with a bachelor's degree. It is enough for the company to have you as a special case."
