After dinner, the grandparents and grandchildren went to bed early, but they didn't say anything all night. Li Fengzhu was busy in the newspaper office until dark, and by the time the page was lined up, it was already past twelve o'clock.

Even though it was this hour, the weather was still stuffy and sweaty. If you want to go back to the apartment, although you can sleep comfortably, but you are too far away from your son, you always can't miss it. If you go to the attic to sleep, it's more stuffy than the newspaper office, and touching it home in the middle of the night will disturb people's dreams. Li Fengzhu watched his colleagues leave one after another, but he only made a few turns in the yard.

The lights in the editorial office were extinguished one by one, and only a few small lights were left in the end. Li Fengzhu followed the glimmer of light, stretched out his head and went in to take a look, and saw that among these people who took the initiative to work overtime, there were also Xu Xinqi and Jiang Yiyao, so he asked, "Aren't you going yet?"

Jiang Yiyao yawned first, then stretched her waist, supported her waist with one hand, hugged the back of her neck with one hand, and said: "Our newspaper office is really full of disasters and difficulties, and the few machines that we desperately keep are not old. No, the ink that was printed two days ago is getting more and more blurry. A few of us who are responsible for it will not be at ease to go home if we don't see the finished product. ”

"Then you don't have to sit in it and wait, it's a little cooler when the wind blows in the yard, so you can move a chair and wait. Li Fengzhu said, took a step inside, and helped move two bamboo chairs out.

For the sake of coolness, two of them were dressed in short clothes, and they sat in the yard for fear of mosquito bites, so they didn't dare to go out. Jiang Yiyao walked ahead, and Xu Xinqi followed with a folding fan. Another veteran adviser Dong Yishi, who is over half a hundred years old, is among them, and he is Xu Xinqi's old-timer in terms of qualifications, and when he celebrates his 50th birthday, he retired from the position of director of the information department and assumed a relatively easy position as a consultant. But he is retiring and not retreating, even if he is only idle, it can be seen that the recent printing effect of the newspaper is always unsatisfactory, and he can't go home to rest with peace of mind, so he waits for the results with several people in charge of the page.

The four of them sat on two sides, first to talk about the news of the press, and then to discuss the important news of the world. After chatting for a while, the topic somehow led to family education. Li Fengzhu couldn't help but sink in his heart because of this, and sighed: "I really envy you, the family has lived in one place, even if there are ups and downs, each other's hearts are tightly connected." Unlike me, after so many years of separation, my family has always been respectful to me and not close, and my son is even more like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees me. I think about it, if I feel sorry for him and want him to live happily, the best way is to disturb him less and let him feel at ease. ”

Dong Yishi, the oldest here, is of course the most qualified to criticize family issues. I only heard him smile indifferently, and then said: "The family doesn't know about the family." In my opinion, there is no relationship in the world that is more likely to fight and get angry than close relatives. I watch family movies that are always very real at the beginning, the mother and son quarrel after the father and son, the father and son quarrel after the husband and wife quarrel, and the husband and wife quarrel after the children quarrel, and so on But at the end, in order to cater to the audience's wishes, everything ends successfully, which is a kind of beautification that is higher than life. ”

"Who says it's not!" Xu Xinqi "snapped" the fan that was unfolded, patted his thigh, and expressed his deep agreement, "The eldest son in my family, the more he raises it, the more he has no rules." I don't care, that's not fulfilling my duty as a father, and I have to take care of it, and the more I manage it, the more arrogant he becomes. At that time, my wife comforted me that the boy had grown up to eight or nine years old, which was the age when a dog was too old. At first, I believed this, but after two years, I realized that the girl did not want to be close to me. They always thought I was covered in stinky sweat, and I couldn't get their smiling faces when I came home without taking a shower. I have doubts in my heart, I'm afraid it's not eight or nine-year-old children who are afraid of dogs, but middle-aged parents, dogs too. After that, he smiled bitterly for a while.

When Li Fengzhu heard this, the facial features that were originally wrinkled in one place not only stretched out, but also added a little smile to his face. After another thought in his heart, he condensed his eyes again, and said, "Don't you have the heart to comfort me." ”

Jiang Yiyao opened his mouth and said: "I testify that the words of these two are very true. Because my experience is more or less the same. ”

Saying this, the more Li Fengzhu listened, the more relieved he became.

Xu Xinqi shook the fan again and quipped: "There is a sentence that Misi Jiang is inconvenient to say, but it is convenient for me to say." Mi Sili, if you don't believe this, I'll leave the humble house and invite you to live for a while, and see if what I say is true. ”

"Why don't you go home yet, but here to take advantage of the cold. Gao Jian walked forward alone when he spoke, followed by two colleagues who were doing sales. The three of them all wore slick hair, dancing shoes, and straightened suits, and at first glance they knew that they had changed their outfits after work, and were ready to go to the casino.

Because Gao Jian's eyes went straight to the position where Xu Xinqi and Dong Yishi were sitting, Li and Jiang didn't have to and didn't want to talk to each other out of thin air.

However, Gao Jian laughed a few words, and when he turned around by chance, he saw the two ladies sitting on the other side, so he laughed and asked: "Yo, the two Miss are also there, it's rare to finish work on time today, don't you go out and be happy?"

I don't know if this question is deliberate or not, the same person who sits in the yard and doesn't leave, on the right side asks how to enjoy the cool, and on the other side asks why not to go out and be happy. In particular, the word "happy" is used on the two ladies, which inevitably shows a bit of frivolity.

Xu Xinqi thought about it like this, and secretly turned his eyes to look, and sure enough, he saw that the faces of the two people on the other side were not very good. Because he hit the fan, stood up and laughed to round the scene: "Isn't it fun enough to admire the moon?"

However, this affection seemed to the aggrieved two ladies that he was too good a person. He first snorted, and it seemed that Na Li and Jiang couldn't return the words to Meng Lang's frugality, and his heart was even more depressed. As for Gao Jian, if he is successful, he may have to go back to the words after haha, and if he does not become unwilling, it seems that Xu Xinqi will not have the intention of interrupting. Therefore, no one on either side bought the account of this good old man.

I saw Gao Jian raise a hand, pointed at the moonlight in the sky, and said, "It's okay to say that the full moon of the first two days is okay, but today the moon is half broken." ”

Dong Yishi half-closed his eyes, as if he understood and didn't understand in his heart, so he just twisted his beard and replied with a smile: "Flaws are also a kind of beauty." ”

After talking like this for only a minute, Gao Jian and his party walked out with a smile.

Jiang Yiyao snorted coldly in her nose, her eyes turned upward, she shook one foot and shook it, and then vented her complaint: "If he goes home, he should turn left when he goes out, but he clearly turned right, and it is clear that he is looking for a happy person, but he buckles the basin on our heads." You, a good gentleman who keeps saying that the overall situation is important, can now understand why we women are always overly sensitive? Sensitivity is forced out by prejudice. You used to criticize me, and you talked about discrimination and injustice whenever you encountered something, and today I want to ask you to comment, is this our heart as women, or is it forced by the situation?"

Li Fengzhu listened, although he agreed very much. Helplessly, she is an embarrassing character whose reputation has just turned around in the pile of colleagues, and she is not as confident as Jiang Yiyao when she speaks and does things. So he just smiled and nodded heavily, his mouth open and his words squeezed on his tongue, thought about it and swallowed it back.

The good old man Xu Xinqi saw Jiang Yiyao talking louder, and his hand unconsciously pushed his waist up, and he had a posture of getting more and more angry the more he talked. It seems that this can't disappear automatically, and someone has to come out and perfunctory. With a smile, he was ready to make a quick decision with one or two sentences: "In the position of a senior manager, whether he likes to have fun or not, he must go around in the social field." If you don't have fun, you won't have acquaintances, and if you don't have acquaintances, you won't be able to expand distribution channels. ”

Li Fengzhu has a stomach full of words to refute these two sentences. It's just that she is the most willing person in the whole society to buy Xu Xinqi's face, so she raised her hand, pinched her lips with two fingers and twisted it, trying her best not to say anything. I couldn't help it, so I got up and went to the porter to find a few newspapers, and picked out the places I was interested in and read them word by word.

Jiang Yiyao didn't have so many worries, and said bluntly: "Lao Xu, your words are even more wrong. He is a regular customer in the casino, and he knows best who likes to play and who doesn't in the club. There are no two of us in the fun-loving group of people, and his heart is like a mirror, so it can be seen that his words are not casual, and he is deliberately trying to embarrass us. ”

Xu Xinqi listened to it, but was moved by Jiang Yiyao's words, and really felt that Gao Jian was too disrespectful to treat female colleagues. However, he didn't want the people of the same society to hate each other like a needle, and there were no good words to say peace, so he turned his head to look at Dong Yishi's face. Don't look at it, the old gentleman gave Li Fengzhu a look and asked her to let a copy come out. The two of them simply don't want to care, so it can only be seen if Jiang Yiyao can automatically dissipate his anger. Xu Xinqi's eyes straightened slightly, and when he saw Jiang Yiyao's face becoming more and more red, he knew that this hope had been dashed again. I had to bite the bullet and carefully persuade it: "People who are used to playing tricks, go happily, their hearts are full of jokes, just say it by the way, don't think so seriously." The newspaper office is the place with the strongest civilized atmosphere except for the new school, that is, a piece of elm lump has been here for a long time, which can also reverse the old concept. ”

When Li Fengzhu heard this, he thought in his heart that this person was too fond of being a peacemaker, and he maneuvered like this, forcing people to stand up and refute it. Because he folded the newspaper and said with a smile: "Director, don't say this kind of bodhisattva talk." The most innovative type of people in the newspaper are the journalists, but not all the journalists are in favor of the new civilization. People like Senior Managers, and things like Fang Cai, we professional women inevitably endure every day. I have two principles: one is not to accept interviews with others, and the other is not to show off my photos in the newspaper. Guess why?"
