Lost (novella) Zhang Baotong

In the evening, my mother and Xu Bin returned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As soon as she entered the door, her mother took a cardboard box and shouted to Qiu Wen, "Qiu Wen, do you think this dress is beautiful?" Qiu Wen came out of the bedroom, opened the box, and saw that it was a light blue short skirt, so she tried it on herself, and then shouted in an exaggerated tone, "It's so beautiful, Mom, you really know how to buy clothes." The mother said, "I bought it, it was Xu Bin who bought it." Qiu Wen pursed her lips and pretended to be angry and said, "Xu Bin, you are so eccentric." I've known you for so long, and you didn't say anything about buying me decent clothes, but I just met my mother today, and I bought my mother such a noble and beautiful dress. You're really eccentric. ”

Xu Bin laughed while drinking water and said, "You still have few clothes, and the cabinet is almost out of place." But Qiuwen said, "There is no one in the closet full of clothes that is so beautiful." Qiu Wen's mother thought that Qiu Wen really fell in love with this dress, so she said, "If you think it looks good, I'll give it to you." Qiu Wen said, "People bought it for you, why am I embarrassed to ask for it?" Qiu Wen's mother said, "You can take it, anyway, I'm old, and I wear the same thing." Qiu Wen saw that her mother recognized the truth, so she put her arms around her neck and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm joking with you." ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Wen hadn't started to cook yet, and Xu Bin was about to go into the kitchen to cook. Qiu Wen's mother hurriedly said to Qiu Wen, "Qiu Wen, Xu Bin has been running all afternoon, and he is tired enough, you should make dinner." From this sentence, Qiu Wenwen could clearly feel that her mother's attitude towards Xu Bin had changed, and it had become so fast, so fast that she was a little unexpected and surprised, so she squeezed her eyes at her mother and teased her mother and said, "Seeing that people bought you a set of skirts, you will protect people from letting them cook." ”

My mother was a little embarrassed by her, so she said, "Why don't you rest, and I'll cook." But when Xu Bin saw that Qiuwen's mother was going to cook, he said, "Aunt is tired all afternoon, how can you let her cook." I'll do it. Qiu Wen immediately burst out laughing and said, "You two have also learned to sing double reeds, and they cooperate quite well." Then he said, "Mom, how can I let you cook the rice, you haven't heard that someone is feeling sorry for you, afraid that you will be tired." So saying, he took his mother into the bedroom. Mother angrily tapped her with her finger and said, "You dead ghost, you will say strange things to your mother." ”

Seeing her mother's excited appearance, Qiu Wen felt that her mother was suddenly much younger. For many years, she had rarely seen her mother so excited and happy. So, she pulled her mother into the bedroom and asked her to tell her about their visit to Weiyang Lake. My mother said, "When you walk on the meadow by the lake with the breeze blowing and the sun on the sunny day, you will feel in a very good mood and the scenery will be very good." Several speedboats carry tourists across the wide expanse of the lake, and a small seaplane glides briskly across the water. Everywhere you go, there are bright smiling faces and happy laughter everywhere. The most interesting thing is that when a girl jumped from the top of the bungee jumping tower more than 70 meters high, she screamed desperately in the air, which scared my heart to jump out. ”

Qiu Wen knew that her mother was usually very lonely and lonely, so every time she was with her, she talked a lot and was very good at talking, so she made a look of listening and relishing and listening to her mother's story. The mother said, "Xu Bin asked me to take a speedboat, and I said that I was scared and scared to death." But Xu Bin said it didn't matter, so he just pulled me onto the speedboat. The speedboat started on the lake, accelerated, and the waves splashed in all directions, and the hull of the boat was as fast as if it was about to fly out of the water. I was so frightened that my soul was about to fly out, so I grabbed Xu Bin's hand desperately. When Xu Bin saw that I was scared like this, he hugged my shoulders tightly, which made me feel safe and relaxed. ”

In the end, my mother told me about how they went to the mall to buy dresses together after they left Weiyang Lake. She said, "I fell in love with a light blue summer skirt in front of the clothing counter, so I asked the salesperson to take it and try it, and when I tried it, I thought it was good, so I wanted to buy it, but when I asked for 200 yuan, and I didn't have that much money with me, I said it was too expensive." Xu Bin saw that I was too expensive, so he immediately paid for the skirt. ”

It is rare for the mother to be so happy and happy, and the mother's happiness and happiness are also a recognition of their relationship, indicating that the mother already has a good impression of Xu Bin. So, Qiu Wen took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, my dad is gone early, you are always alone, and there are few happy and happy times, in the future, Xu Bin and I will take you out to play more, so that you can be happy." ”

After that, no matter whether she had time to go home or not, Qiu Wen always asked Xu Bin to go to the southern suburbs once or twice a week to visit her mother, sometimes to send some things over, sometimes to help change the gas or do some heavy work. So, every time Qiu Wen went home, she could hear her mother praise Xu Bin.

July is the hottest month in Xi'an. At this time, some manufacturers want to invite Xu Bin and the owners of their shops to go to the summer resort for vacation. That night, Xu Bin took out a picture of this invitation to Qiu Wen, saying that the building materials manufacturer that he had cooperated with all the year round wanted to invite them to Taibai Villa for a vacation for half a month, including food and accommodation, and they could also bring a lady to accompany them, and wanted Qiu Wen to ask for leave to go to Taibai Villa with him for a vacation to escape the summer. Of course, Qiu Wen wanted to go to the summer with Xu Bin, but she asked the boss for leave, but the boss said that the mall was not staffed enough, so there was no leave. But although Qiuwen couldn't go on vacation with Xu Bin, she didn't want Xu Bin to save this cost for other manufacturers, so she proposed to let her mother go on vacation with Xu Bin, which could not only improve the relationship between her mother and Xu Bin, but also prevent Xu Bin from encountering accidents outside. Because she knows that it is easy for men to lose their feelings and mess with flowers and grass in such an unattended situation. However, this must be agreed by Xu Bin, because she does not know if Xu Bin is willing to take his mother out. Unexpectedly, Xu Bin actually thought the same way.

After Qiu Wen met and fell in love with Xu Bin a year ago, she never left Xu Bin. This time, I left Xu Bin for a long time, I felt very unaccustomed, I was very busy at work during the day, and I felt that time passed very quickly, but when I got home from work, such a big house was empty, and she was alone, and she always felt scared in her heart, and always felt that there were bad people hidden behind the door or in the corner, so that she didn't dare to sleep with her eyes closed at night. In desperation, she called her friend Chunxia, who lived in the village opposite the residential complex, to accompany her. Chunxia used to work as a waitress in a Cantonese restaurant, but when a township party asked her to help sell clothes on Rehabilitation Road, she left the Cantonese restaurant. But their relationship remains close.

Chunxia had never seen such a big house, so she asked Qiuwen with envy to find her a boss like Xu Bin. Qiu Wen knew that Chunxia had a target, and she worked as a chef in a restaurant in the western suburbs, so she thought Chunxia was joking with her. But Chunxia scolded her boyfriend angrily in order to make Qiu Wen believe her words. said that he had no ability, his family was so poor that he couldn't even afford to build a house, and a man like him would not only suffer and suffer poverty with him for a lifetime, but even his children and grandchildren would have to suffer and be tired. Then, she once again begged Qiu Wen to introduce her to a rich boss, and it doesn't matter if she is older, as long as she is rich.

Qiu Wen certainly understood Chunxia's situation and her thoughts. She is a girl who came to Xi'an from northern Shaanxi to work, and the disparity between the rich and the poor in her hometown and the city, as well as the reality that fate did not give birth to her in the city, but scattered her on the loess slopes with turbulent wind and sand all year round, often makes her sad and sighing. Therefore, in order to change her fate, she went to Xi'an to work before graduating from junior high school, and the experience of working made her realize that if she wants to change her fate and live a rich life in the city, it is impossible to work alone, and she must find a way to marry a rich man or a big boss. However, all she usually comes into contact with are some migrant workers, or some poor people from her hometown. Because she works alone outside all the year round, she also needs spiritual comfort and emotional sustenance, and she can't live without a boyfriend, so she had to make do with finding a township party who is in charge in the western suburbs. But this does not mean that she has given up that wish and dream, because she is not in a relationship with the boss, and once there is a better candidate, she can kick the spoon away at any time.

Qiu Wen also hopes that Chunxia can live a stable and prosperous life, but asking her to find a big boss or a big money like Xu Bin for her is indeed difficult for her. Because although she knows a lot of big bosses or big money, everyone has a family, and she also thinks that finding a partner often depends on fate, such as her and Xu Bin. What's more, she always has to go to work early in the morning and can't get home from work until dark, so how can she have time to help her find a big boss or a big money. Therefore, she told Chunxia that she might not have time, so she should wait for Xu Bin to come back and let Xu Bin think of a way for her again, because Xu Bin has been doing business in the building materials market all the year round and is familiar with those who do business.
