Lin Xiao didn't go upstairs directly after sending the message, and before she could continue to send messages to Huang Lu, she heard a knocking sound from the stairwell, and then Huang Lu stood in front of her.

"Long time no see. Lin Xiao burst out laughing.

"Well, long time no see. Huang Lu nodded, and after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but be happy.

"Let's go?" Lin Xiao gestured to the path next to him and proposed.

The community where they live is all newly built houses after rural demolition. Originally, several teams and even villages around were gathered together. The community is very lively, and the surrounding area is full of neat farmland.

Although spring has not yet officially arrived, the surrounding farmland has turned into a green patch. The breeze blows, and the wild grass that grows so fast as a person's calf is gently swaying in the wind, and the scenery is not much worse than the park landscape in the city, and there is an indescribable sense of relaxation just by looking at it. It was only not long after noon, and there were already people walking in pairs on the side path and ridge.

"Well, that's fine. Huang Lu glanced back at the fourth floor, thought for a while and said, "But I have to count some time, and I will come back for dinner later." ”

"Dinner?"

"yes, but this time I didn't just buy some food outside to fool around. When Huang Lu mentioned this stubble, there was an obvious smile in his eyes: "Qin Yueyue's girl proposed that everyone should make a vegetable to show their hands, which should add to the atmosphere of the festival." ”

Lin Xiao sighed: "Yes, you can really do it." The festive atmosphere of the company depends on the spontaneous and voluntary support of colleagues, and you will win by lying down. ”

"Originally, I also wanted to try to show my hands, this is not ......" Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xiao next to him a little absently, and his voice was a little inexplicable: "Isn't this here to hang out with you." ”

Lin Xiao originally wanted to say something to tease the other party, but now he couldn't say it at all.

"Do you still know how to stir-fry?" the two were silent for a while, and Lin Xiao asked stiffly.

"It's okay, a few years ago, this community was still quite desolate, not to mention fast food restaurants, but there were few small restaurants. At that time, the nearest restaurant from here, five or six kilometers, was still unpalatable. There is no other way, if you don't have time, you can only buy them for them, and if you have time, then I will be the only one. Otherwise, when people come to work, they have to learn to cook? I did it more often, and gradually became proficient, but later there were more people, and I didn't have time to cook for so many people, so I served pure fast food. ”

"It's still Qin Yueyue's life now, when they come, what do they want here. If there are a few more clothing stores, it would not be too much to say that it is a small business district in the countryside. ”

Lin Xiao found that compared to the usual look of Huang Lu, who looked like 2580,000, today's words are really much. Since the two met, they began to chatter, and there was no theme, so they chattered endlessly. A few words about the industry, and a few words of emotion about the rural community where they are now, interspersed with a few words from time to time, who are the people who set up stalls to sell clothes here at night.

It seems that in this area, there are no things that Huang Lu doesn't know, people he doesn't know.

Gradually, Lin Xiao also realized that what Huang Lu was talking about was almost all before. Before Vantus, his thing.

Lin Xiao didn't ask He Qixin about Huang Lu in detail, including Huang Lu said last time that she had a debt of millions, and she didn't ask again. I just vaguely knew that Huang Lu had a shop before Fantes, which should be much bigger than the current Fantes, but I didn't know what went wrong behind it and suddenly went bankrupt.

The layers of window paper and distance between the two seem to be being torn apart step by step. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao didn't have any thoughts of refusing and perfunctory.

"Brother Lu, what about you?" Lin Fang's voice came from the earpiece, and his tone was full of anxiety: "It's time for you to play soon, you won't sneak out to buy vegetables, right?" That's really too much, what kind of fish and meat you said before, it's all ready for you, if you escape, I despise you!"

"I despise you too!" Qin Yueyue and Zhao Qingran's voices also followed.

Huang Lu took the phone away with great disgust, and when the people on the other side of the earpiece stopped and were almost quiet, he took the phone over again, still in the same tone as if he was twenty-five or eighty-thousand: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a matter of cooking a few dishes, as if you owe the company and can't run away immediately." I'm already downstairs, I'll be upstairs later. ”

"Then hurry up and keep an eye on you. ”

Huang Lu immediately hung up the phone mercilessly, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

"What's fun?" Huang Lu looked at her amusedly and said, "Sure enough, Fantes is hell, I haven't been here for a few days, and my mood is as good as winning the lottery." ”

"Your metaphors are quite peculiar. After Lin Xiaole finished, the two happened to slip downstairs, she looked upstairs, and said a little nervously: "Do you want to go up now?"

Huang Lu shrugged: "Otherwise, if you are not afraid that we will be hunted down and killed if we have no food to eat, it is not impossible to walk around a few more times now." ”

Lin Xiao didn't stay and was happy again.

"I am ......"

"Willow isn't here today. ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect Huang Lu to suddenly mention this stubble, Lin Xiao was still a little stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why isn't she here?"

"Don't want to come. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he thought about it and added seriously: "Today, everyone in the studio has a half-day holiday, and she doesn't have to broadcast live, she said that she would have a dinner together, and she didn't come if she had something." ”

"Oh. Lin Xiao nodded, then laughed a little embarrassedly, and explained: "Actually, I don't think she's embarrassing to me, it's just ......."

It's just that some don't know how to explain it to other people.

When she went to VISION, she didn't think about what it would be like to face her former colleagues. It seems that there, because of their different choices, it is not a big deal to leave the company or return to the company. Each has its own needs, and there is nothing worth gossiping about and responding to.

But Fantes is different.

Everyone in Fantes is not just a colleague, and it is impossible for her to be unwilling to be as indifferent and detached as she did with her former colleagues.

"Everyone else is waiting for you to come back, and they look at me 800 times a day, but they don't dare to ask. ”

"And what did you say?"

Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xiao, smiled and didn't answer directly: "Let's eat." ”

"Sister Kobayashi!"

"Sister Xiaolin, you're finally done with your vacation!"

"Do you know that Brother Lu is going to show his skills today, so I came over to see if he was bragging. ”

"Xiaolin is here, I'm about to go out, my daughter is about to go to the gate of the community, wait a minute." ”

"Hehe, Brother Lu is really too much, he hid us to death. Just now I thought he didn't want to cook and was about to run away, but I didn't expect to pick you up. Misunderstood him, misunderstood him. ”

......

Everyone happily came up to say hello, but no one tacitly agreed that no one would ask the bottom line. There was a lot of noise, and Lin Xiao was surrounded in the center, but he unexpectedly didn't feel any noise and noise, or even the embarrassment and helplessness he imagined before.

Those long-standing troubles and depressions seem to have disappeared without a trace at this time.

Unlike when she was in VISION, Qian Ming politely and restrainedly did not ask deeply, several people in Fantes were sincerely worried about their curiosity, and they were also sincerely suppressing their curiosity, and only happiness and joy were exposed.

"It's good to be back," Zhao Qingran had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was full of teasing: "Pinch a little bit, especially because you don't want to cook." ”

"I'll make it up next time. Xu Yuanhang walked over, bumped Lin Xiao's shoulder lightly, and asked softly, "It's decided?"

"Hmm. Lin Xiao also laughed, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's still suitable for me here." ”

It is such a gray rural community, a small and crowded area, far from being as tall as an office building with bright windows. But here, it is full of fireworks in the world. The comfort brought by Lin Xiao couldn't help but integrate into it wholeheartedly. And I am extremely firm in my belief that even here, as long as I am with these people, I can also have a brighter future.

It doesn't matter where you are, it's always who you're with.

"Pack up and start eating right away. Huang Lu leaned out of the kitchen and shouted to the people outside, "Sister Chen? Sister Chen didn't say that she was going to pick up her daughter? ”

Zhao Qingran said with great disgust: "Didn't you just start doing it? Why did you shout to eat so quickly, is the dish cooked? Is there a silver needle, take one and try the poison first." ”

Huang Lu pointed at Zhao Qingran angrily, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Yu Guang glanced at Lin Xiao who was standing on the side, and changed his words extremely stiffly: "Zhao Qingran, I said can you still do it, can you do it? ”

Qin Yue happily ran in to get the rag, regardless of the cause and effect, he seized the opportunity and began to damage Huang Lu: "Yo, Brother Lu is quite gentle today? And now that's it?"

"Go and go, don't delay me cooking. Huang Lu waved his hand impatiently, trying to blast them out of the kitchen. Lin Xiao watched the interaction of several people with a smile, his eyes intersected with Huang Lu, and each other unconsciously showed a smile.

As if a tacit agreement had been reached, the original impatience and anger disappeared without a trace at this moment, making people involuntarily become gentle.

Soon, Chen Su received his daughter. Zhang Xiaoya is in her third year of high school this year, and she looks about the same height as Chen Su, with a shy smile on her face. When Chen Su brought him in, he greeted everyone timidly.

Everyone had no resistance to the well-behaved and obedient little girl, and after greeting her, they all smiled and shouted that they would buy candy for Zhang Xiaoya to eat.

Xie Yiyi looked at Zhang Xiaoya, who was even a little taller than herself, and then looked at the people with a motherly and fatherly smile, and couldn't help but say with some doubts: "At this age, do people still eat sugar?"

Huang Lu happened to come out of the kitchen, and when he heard this, he was immediately unhappy, looked at Zhang Xiaoya seriously, and said, "I don't know what your temper is, anyway, I can't help it." Are they coaxing you like a three-year-old?"

"Yes, I can't bear it. Lin Xiao also laughed along, and everyone immediately began to refute it.

You are noisy and shouting back and forth, making a mess, just like a cross talk conference.

Zhang Xiaoya, who was originally a little restrained and uncomfortable, was amused by this group of people, and covered her mouth embarrassedly so that she would not laugh too exaggeratedly. The other hand, which had been nervously holding on to his clothes, gradually relaxed.

It turns out that when I grow up, I can be so happy at work.
