Chapter 27 Bai Chong takes leave to return to his hometown

On the day off, Bai Chong returned to school alone, and it was close to the end of the summer vacation, so the school was much empty. There were a few people sitting sporadically in the reading room who were preparing for the graduate school entrance examination. The scorching sun outside the window was like fire, and gusts of wind blew through the treetops, making Bai Chong feel the illusion that the world was already dead silent.

Seeing that in the afternoon, Bai Chong was already a little sleepy, someone opened the window, and a gust of wind blew and gently hit him in the face. The mobile phone buzzed, and Bai Chong gradually woke up, only to find that it was his mother Qin Yu's phone.

"Mom!"

"Bai Chong, are you on summer vacation? Why don't you come to Mom's side, Mom misses you!"

"Mom, I'm ......" Bai Chong really missed his mother a little, so he responded: "Okay, Mom, you wait for me to clean up in the next two days and go back." โ€

Bai Chong asked Xue Kai for leave, and then asked for leave from the hotel, and then got up and went back to his hometown. Zheng Ai was puzzled by Bai Chong's performance during this time, but when he saw Bai Chong's preoccupied look, he left his thoughts behind him again.

"Honey, are you alright?" asked Zheng Ai, holding Bai Chong's hand and shaking him.

Bai Chong looked at Zheng Ai and whispered, "It's okay." โ€

"It's okay to cry and mourn?" Zheng Ai pursed his lips, and then made a grimace at Bai Chong.

Bai Chong was amused by her, and said lightly: "Ahem, it's the recent company incidents that make me a little confused." โ€

"Then you can talk about it, maybe I can help you analyze it. โ€

Bai Chong looked at Zheng Ai and saw that her face was full of cute smiles and a carefree look, so he gave up again.

"Forget it, it's a person's trouble, say it now, don't make you unhappy for a while!"

"Oh, just say it. Zheng Ai took Bai Chong's arm and begged.

"Okay, I say. Bai Chong was forced to have no choice, and finally spoke: "Our company has been facing a very serious problem recently, with a financial deficit and serious corruption, I am afraid it will go bankrupt!"

"That's it?" Zheng Ai wondered.

"That's it. โ€

"What does that have to do with you?"

"I'm an employee of the company, do you think it has anything to do with me?"

"But it's not your fault after all!"

Bai Chong nodded, stroked Zheng Ai's forehead, smiled and said, "Maybe you're right, it's that I value feelings too much." โ€

"yes, it's not a big deal per se. By the way, you said you were going to go home for a while, a few days?"

"Maybe a month. โ€

"Huh, stay so long!" Zheng Ai was surprised.

"What's the matter, why do you have this expression?"

"But what if I can't see you?"

"Can't see me?" Bai Chong wondered, "Why do you say that?"

"I told Lili that we would go to piano learning together in the summer and then work part-time. โ€

"That's great, but be safe!"

"Well, I'm not that vulnerable!"

Bai Chong went home and staggered back to Fanglin City on the train. But a week after returning home, Zheng Ai followed. Bai Chong ran to the train station to pick up Zheng Ai, and when he got off the train and saw Bai Chong for the first time, Zheng Ai rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Bai Chong wondered.

"What, I'm not welcome back?" Zheng Ai said with a pout.

"No, of course I'm glad you can come back. โ€

"There was a problem with the piano version, because a student had a dispute with the store, so the class couldn't be attended, so I came back. โ€

"Alright, let's go, I'll take you home. โ€

"Which home are you going back to?" Zheng Ai wondered.

"Back to your house. โ€

"No, I want to go to your house. Zheng Ai said coquettishly.

"No, it doesn't seem appropriate to go now, and it's not my house. โ€

"Look scares you, I just wanted to see your mother, I haven't seen her in a long time. โ€

Bai Chong saw Zheng Ai with a sincere expression, and finally agreed.

After arriving home, Zheng Ai followed Bai Chong to the living room and saw Qin Yu sitting on the sofa.

"Hello Auntie. Zheng Ai shouted cautiously.

"You must be Xiao Ai. When Qin Yu saw Zheng Ai, he sat up straight with difficulty, and then shouted enthusiastically: "Come, sit down." โ€

"Thank you, Auntie. Zheng Ai glanced at Bai Chong, then walked over to Qin Yu and sat down.

Qin Yu looked at Zheng Ai carefully, and then smiled: "This girl is really good-looking. โ€

After speaking, Qin Yu glanced at Bai Chong again, and then said, "You kid has vision!"

Bai Chong pursed his lips, put Zheng Ai's luggage aside, and walked to the tea table to pour tea for Zheng Ai.

"Auntie, you are also a beautiful woman!" Zheng Ai exclaimed.

"Yo, this girl has such a sweet mouth. โ€

Bai Chong saw that the two of them were chatting very closely, so he went into the kitchen alone and prepared to cook.

After a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in with some vegetables and fruits, and as soon as she entered, she shouted "Brother Bai Chong, Brother Bai Chong." โ€

Bai Chong walked out of the kitchen with an apron on.

"Brother Bai Chong, I bought all the vegetables you wanted, I'll come over and help you later." The girl handed the things to Bai Chong's hand, and went to put the schoolbag in the back room.

Zheng Ai looked at this fifteen or sixteen-year-old slim girl, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, Qin Yu hurriedly explained: "This is Bai Chong's sister, Zhang Xiaoyi, is the daughter of our family's old Zhang. โ€

Zheng Ai blushed and nodded.

"Xiaoyi met Bai Chong when she was 12 years old, and she was also very attached to this brother. Speaking of this, Qin Yu was moved to shed a few tears.

"Tell me about you, girl. Qin Yu wiped away his tears and said.

At the dinner table, Zhang Xiaoyi picked up the chopsticks excitedly, and couldn't help but admire: "Wow, Brother Bai Chong's cooking skills are really amazing!"

"Okay, why are you so excited to have a meal?" Qin Yu asked while helping Zheng Aisheng with the meal, "What about your father?"

"If you don't come back, you won't come back, anyway, I don't want to see him. Zhang Xiaoyi didn't care.

Zheng Ai looked at Zhang Xiaoyi, her face a little embarrassed.

"You are Sister Zheng Ai, my brother always mentioned you to me, saying that you are beautiful, but you are smart! When I saw you today, you are really a great beauty, and I will drink one alone with you later." Zhang Xiaoyi looked at Zheng Ai and said excitedly.

Bai Chong poured juice for them, then raised his glass and said, "Come, let's raise a glass together." โ€

"Bai Chong, after eating for a while, my mother has something to say to you, Xiaoyi will take your sister Zheng Ai to play for a while, okay?"

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Xiaoyi raised her hand and couldn't help but smile.

In Qin Yu's room, Bai Chong sat opposite his mother.

"Bai Chong, do you still hate your mother?"

Bai Chong shook his head, but Qin Yu could see that there was still a trace of complaint between his eyebrows.

"Now that your brother is about to be born, what my mother has been begging for in this life is that you can be healthy, healthy and safe. Qin Yu stroked his belly, and in that round belly, the child seemed to be a little lively.

Bai Chong leaned on his mother's stomach and listened for a while, and then said: "Damn brother, you must not be as disobedient as me!"

Qin Yu stroked Bai Chong's head and smiled knowingly.

"By the way, there's something I just remembered recently. โ€

"What's the matter?"

"Your grandmother had a few acres of self-reserved land before her death, and she didn't give it to your uncle, saying that it was handed over to you to take care of. โ€

"Good. Bai Chong nodded.

"In addition, about that Zheng Ai, my mother has two sentences, I don't know whether to say it or not. โ€

"Mom, you say, what's wrong with Zheng Ai?"

"Can't you see it? This child, she has a lot of thoughts, you should know more about her. โ€

The next day, Bai Chong and Zheng Ai went to his grandmother's house on a motorized tricycle to Wangtian Township.

Now that the summer harvest is over, autumn planting has begun on many fields. Zheng Ai looked at Bai Chong's windswept hair, and suddenly had a feeling of falling into a dream, she stretched out her hand and stroked Bai Chong's face, Bai Chong turned his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Ai smiled stupidly: "No, it's nothing." โ€

After a while, the car stopped at the head of the village.

"Go ahead and you'll be at your grandmother's house. The driver Chen Bo smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. Bai Chong said gratefully.

"You're welcome, you have time to come to my house as a guest!" Chen Bo said enthusiastically.

The car left, Bai Chong led Zheng Ai step by step, looking at this familiar scene, Bai Chong couldn't help but feel a little sad. When he was 6 years old, his parents were busy with work, so he had to send Bai Chong to his grandmother's house. Bai Chong followed his grandmother to cut grass and feed the sheep, and went to the field to plant vegetables. Now 15 years have passed, and there is still not much change in Wangtian Township, but the old lady who took her through the countryside back then has disappeared.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the street trees, leaving a dizzying shadow on the ground, and the creek next to the street trees is overgrown with weeds and insects flying around. Bai Chong took Zheng Ai's hand and stood by the river and stared at it for a long time, Zheng Ai gently hugged Bai Chong's waist and watched with him.

"What's that?" Zheng Ai asked, looking at the little dragonfly-like insects floating on the water.

"Mayflies. โ€

"Mayfly?" Zheng Ai wondered.

"Yes, mayfly, it is dying in the twilight of life, it has only one day to live, but it is still trying to accomplish the most meaningful things in life. โ€

"What's the matter?"

"Like, love. Bai Chong said lightly.

"Can you get back the lost love?"

Bai Chong responded lightly: "I don't know." โ€

Zheng Ai snuggled Bai Chong tightly and said firmly: "Then don't lose it again!"

In the office of the manager of the marketing department of the traceability group, An Jianguo received the French businessman Qian Berao, and the translator was carefully translating beside him.

An Jianguo naturally didn't understand French, and could only understand the words of the translator. Chambersrow is the president of the International Wine Industry Association for the Asia Pacific region, and the purpose of his trip is to hold a nationwide tour of cocktail parties in major cities in the Chinese market in 2007 to attract more Chinese customers.

"Mr. Chambersrow, please rest assured that Ms. Wang Hexiang recommended our group to you, and we are naturally responsible for providing you with every service!"

โ€œTrรจs bien. (Very good, what we need, is high-end quality, so, please!)"

Qian Berao shook hands with An Jianguo, and then walked out with the interpreter.

An Jianguo sent Qian Berao away, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Liu Mei walked over with a pile of materials and said with a smile: "Look at your nervous appearance, it's like this when you see a foreigner." โ€

An Jianguo said worriedly: "Director Liu, I think we still need to invite a professional who knows foreign languages to take charge of the situation! Otherwise, we don't know what they say." โ€

Liu Mei looked at An Jianguo, thought for a moment and said, "I have to invite someone who understands foreign languages." โ€
