Chapter 57: Look up and don't look down in the future

Cheng Wei probably didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhou He walking behind.

Zhou He was afraid that he would say something again, neither advancing nor retreating. The girl who was with her was a little puzzled when she saw that she was standing still, and said, "Why don't you come in?"

Zhou He squeezed out a smile and walked in.

Cheng Wei stood in the middle of the left, and she specially stood on the door on the right farthest from him. In just a few tens of seconds, it was like spending days, and Zhou He didn't even dare to raise his head.

Fortunately, Cheng Wei never spoke.

When the elevator door opened, Zhou He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the first one walked out of the elevator quickly. Thinking about things has always been good and not bad, she didn't go far, and Cheng Wei behind her suddenly said: "The one in front, wait a minute." ”

His voice was slow, clearly deliberate.

Zhou He's heart chuckled, his body stiffened, he wanted to pretend not to hear, but who knew that the person who came up behind called her and reminded: "Call you." ”

Zhou He had to stop now.

They all came in together, and Zhou He was called to stop everyone. Cheng Wei walked over slowly, straightened the buttons of his shirt slightly, glanced at a few people, and asked, "Are they all new?"

He really asked knowingly.

There were people with eyes in the hall, and when they saw Cheng Wei stop to ask, they hurriedly walked over and introduced to a few people: "This is the president of our company, Mr. Cheng." ”

Those people didn't expect to meet the big boss for the first time, and hurriedly greeted each other.

Cheng Wei did it on purpose, his eyes swept over Zhou He, who was standing with his head down, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said to those people: "It's nothing, you guys go first." After a pause, he raised his chin and said to Zhou He, "You stay." ”

For a while, his eyes fell on Zhou He's body.

Zhou He was a little annoyed, and Cheng Wei said slowly: "I remember that you are from Professor Xu's side, I have some information here, and I am bothered to bring it to Professor Xu." ”

This excuse is very valid. Zhou He could only respond to a good sentence.

Since they asked Zhou He to bring things, those few people had nothing to guess, and they left one after another after politely saying hello. Only Zhou Hehe was left to introduce Cheng Wei's identity.

"You go and get busy with yours too. Cheng Wei said to the man, and then walked outside.

Zhou He followed behind him, and when she arrived at the door, she said coldly: "Mr. Cheng doesn't have to go back to the office to get the information?"

Cheng Wei turned his head, glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Who told you that the information is in the office?" The corners of his lips hooked up into a smile, and said, "I left the information in the car." ”

He stopped, leaned over, and deliberately approached Zhou He.

Zhou He closed his mouth and followed him to the parking lot.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Wei's mobile phone rang. He didn't look at it, he just pressed it, glanced sideways at Zhou He, and asked, "What did Secretary He ask you to do?"

Yes, he naturally wouldn't arrange this kind of trivial matter personally.

Zhou Ji wasn't sure if he had deliberately left herself, and she didn't want to speak. After a while, he replied lightly: "I didn't do anything." ”

The two had entered the parking lot.

"What did you do if you didn't do anything?" Cheng Wei asked with a hook of his lips and an eyebrow.

He clearly did this on purpose. It's looking for something to say.

Zhou He closed his mouth directly and didn't say anything more.

When he arrived at the car, Cheng Wei didn't immediately open the door to get the information. Stopped, looked around, and then realized that it fell on Zhou He's body, and said slowly: "Xiao Ahe, the company is so big, you won't see you when you look up in the future, you plan to work like this in the future?"

Yes, she's coming to work for his company now. Zhou He pursed his lips and said after a while: "Mr. Cheng, don't worry, I will distinguish between public and private." ”

Her tone was respectful. After a pause, he continued: "Can Mr. Cheng give me the information to leave?" In the end, it was still not smooth enough, and his voice was a little stiff.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, he chuckled after a while, opened the car door, took out a bag from the side and handed it to her, and said, "Give it to Professor Xu." ”

He really wanted her to bring the materials to Professor Xu.

Zhou He took it over and said hello. He politely said that I was leaving, and then turned around and walked outside. Cheng Wei didn't stop her again this time, looked at her back, and slowly took out a cigarette in place and lit it and smoked it. The phone rang again, and he spat out the smoke ring, picked it up, and fed it nonchalantly.

When I got back, it was rush hour, and the bus was crowded. Zhou He had no position, and pulled the ring to initiate a stunned take. Now she didn't know how to end it. You can only stay for a while and wait for an excuse to resign later.

There were a lot of people in the car, I don't know if the air was too stuffy or what, and the baby held by a mother next to me cried loudly. The young mother patted gently for a while, and saw that the little one was still crying, and hurriedly went to get the bottle, while coaxing the little one to arrive soon. He kissed the little guy on the forehead gently.

Zhou He looked at it, didn't know what he thought, and pinned his face to the side. The twilight outside the car faded, and the golden sunlight poured into the car through the window, which was inexplicably a little depressed.

She couldn't hide the fact that she went to Cheng Wei's company to work part-time, and she just came home from her part-time job on Saturday, and when she entered the yard, she saw Xu Yuanning and Aunt Qi choosing vegetables by the yard.

Zhou Yiyi was stunned and said, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

Xu Yuanning smiled slightly and said, "I didn't get through when I called you, I'll come and take a look." ”

Zhou He sighed, and when he went to get his phone, he found that he didn't know when it was turned off.

It was almost time to eat, and Aunt Qi asked the two of them to choose vegetables and go into the kitchen to cook.

Zhou He sat down on the small stool next to him and asked, "Aren't you busy today?"

Xu Yuanning will be a senior soon, and he is from the student union, so there are many things.

"It's okay, it's not busy these days. Xu Yuanning replied.

Zhou He nodded, just looking for something to say. Xu Yuanning suddenly asked, "I heard Professor Xu say ......?"

Although his words were not finished, Zhou He already knew what he was going to say.

She didn't dare tell him, but he knew it was sooner or later.

Zhou He nodded and told him what happened that day. After finishing speaking, he said: "After a while, I'll see if I can find an excuse to resign." ”

Professor Xu was so interested in her, and it would obviously be inappropriate for her to resign immediately.

She originally thought that Xu Yuanning would say something, but he didn't say anything. even comforted: "You don't have to feel uncomfortable, you will get a salary according to your own ability in the future." Let's go on first, and call me if you have something. ”

His tone was gentle.

Zhou He nodded in response. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "I don't know about him...... What are you looking for Professor Xu to do?"

Xu Yuanning put a small handful of cabbage picked in his hand into the pot, shook his head, and said, "I don't know much about this, Professor Xu didn't talk about it." I should ask him for some favor. ”

Professor Xu's personality has always been dislike to owe others anything. This time, it should be Cheng Wei who asked him for help, just like an exchange, so he recommended Zhou He to work part-time in the past.

Zhou He nodded and didn't ask any more.

The two didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Xu Yuanning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did Aunt Li call you after she left that day?"

Li Ying kept talking to him that day, and if she didn't know, she might think that he was her child. Instead of sitting quietly on the sidelines, Zhou He.

Zhou He shook his head and said calmly: "I have already asked my little uncle to tell her, and I don't need to come over again in the future." ”

Living in the same circle, Xu Yuanning's situation in Li Ying's family is clear. Xu Yuanning's face had a complicated expression, he knew that any comfort he gave was powerless, so he was silent.

They all have their own families, and as she said before, she is really the superfluous one.

Xu Yuanning's heart was sad and painful, and he couldn't even imagine how she managed to be so calm now.

The two of them did not speak for a while, and waited until they had chosen the dishes and went to the house together. Aunt Qi made some small biscuits, and Zhou He brought them out and asked Xu Yuanning to eat some to cushion his stomach first. She went to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

Xu Yuanning came over rarely, Aunt Qi fried the small crispy meat, made meatballs, and steamed the fish. Knowing that Xu Yuanning had a rice cooker in the dormitory, he didn't let him go after eating, and asked him to wait for her to wrap some fresh dumplings for him to bring back for everyone to eat.

Xu Yuanning would bring something every time he came over, and this time was no exception, bringing a lot of supplements and fruits. Aunt Qi's mind can only be to cook him something to eat.

Xu Yuanning didn't refuse, and when he was making dumplings, he heard Aunt Qi say that she wanted to turn over the vegetable garden behind and plant vegetables, so she simply stayed and helped turn the soil.

He had never done such a thing, and the whole person was clumsy, not even Zhouhe.

Zhou He couldn't help but smile and patiently taught him how to save effort. Knowing that his hands would have to be blistered for the first time doing this kind of work, Zhou He let him rest under the eaves after working for a while, but Xu Yuanning refused, and still turned the ground with her.

The sun was big at noon, and later Aunt Qi brought the two of them a chilled sour plum soup, saying that the aunt next door asked her to go over to help take a look at her little grandson, and she wanted to go over.

Zhou He should be fine, and said that she would sprinkle the seeds in a while.

Aunt Qi was afraid that she would not be able to do it well, so let her turn over the ground, and she would sprinkle the seeds when she came back.

Aunt Qi left soon, Xu Yuanning's forehead was already sweating, Zhou He washed his hands under the water pipe next to him, sat down under the eaves, poured sour plum soup, and let Xu Yuanning rest for a while.

In just a few moments, his hands were already red. Zhou He couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't do it later, you can help me sprinkle water." ”

Xu Yuanning sighed and was noncommittal. He's a man, how can he pick an easy job to do.

Drinking sour plum soup and resting in a cool place, Zhou He relaxed, and his feet dangled in the air.

Xu Yuanning's gaze fell on her mud-stained shoes, and the hand holding the cup paused. I don't know what came to mind, but after a while, I asked in a low voice, "Ahe, how did you get here at that time?"

Zhou He didn't expect him to ask about the original matter, and he was slightly stunned. Then he pretended to smile lightly and said, "I'm here by car." ”

Of course, she knew that Xu Yuanning wanted to ask more than that, so she paused slightly, lowered her head, and said, "At that time, I came here to find the old grandma who took care of me before." ”

She was only a teenager, and she had heard from her grandmother that she lived here, but she didn't know the exact address. She couldn't stay in a hotel with a child, so she had to stay in the waiting hall of the station at night.

She carries the pocket money that her parents usually give, which is not much. It was not easy to find someone in a strange place, and on the third day, she fainted at the gate of the small courtyard from cold and hunger. And the owner of the small courtyard is Aunt Qi.

Aunt Qi lives alone, is riddled with illness and has no children. Seeing that she was pitiful, he took her in. Help her find the old grandma.

In the vast sea of people, it is not easy to find a person who only knows the surname but does not know the name. Aunt Qi found a distant relative and sent her to school.

During this period, she had fantasies, thinking that someone would come looking for her, and that someone would be anxious about her disappearance. But in fact, no. Later, she thought, if a burden is gone, I'm afraid that everyone will be happy, who will go to find it?

It has been half a year since she found the old grandmother, and she is old and sick when she leaves the Zhou family. The last thing Zhou He saw her, all he saw was her posthumous portrait. According to her neighbors, she died three months after returning from the imperial capital. She also had no children and no daughters, and was buried by her mother's nephews.

Since then, she has lost even the person who loves her the most.

Speaking of the back, Zhou He's voice was astringent, but a smile appeared on his face. Make a look of nonchalance.

Xu Yuanning regretted bringing up this topic, and his heart was heavy as if he weighed a thousand pounds. Unable to find comforting words, he said in a low and dry voice, "It will be all fine in the future." ”

Zhou He's eyes were misty, he nodded, squeezed out a smile, and hummed.

It was quiet in the afternoon, and I hid in the trees and screamed. Xu Yuanning's hand raised and gently patted Zhou He's head.

Zhou He turned his head sideways and smiled at him, saying, "It's okay, I was sad before." After a long time, it gradually faded. ”

Xu Yuanning hummed, took a tissue and handed it to her.

With his help, the vegetable patch was turned over in the afternoon, drenched and sprinkled with seeds. Xu Yuanning's hand was also worn out in several places as Zhou He expected.

She brought a Band-Aid and wanted to put it on him. But he refused, saying that it was not much injured and not so hypocritical. Zhou He had no choice but to give up.

In the evening, Aunt Qi made dry pot shrimp, and the shrimp was given by the aunt next door, and their children went to the river to catch it. Aunt Qi took the wine she made herself last year and wanted to give Xu Yuanning a taste.

The three of them were about to eat when the door outside slammed open. The kick was so hard and heavy that it looked like he wanted to kick the door open.

I don't know if someone got drunk and went wrong. Zhou He immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and see." ”

Xu Yuanning couldn't rest assured, and when he saw her go outside, he followed suit.

Zhou He quickly opened the door, and it was not a drunk who had gone by mistake. It's Qi Jingran, who is like a ghost with a cloak. I haven't seen her for half a year, she has changed a lot, her face is yellow, and her whole person is so thin that she is about to lose shape.

Zhou He didn't say hello when she opened the door, as if she hadn't seen her, and walked directly inside.

Zhou He closed the door and quickly followed her into the house.

Aunt Qi also didn't expect it to be Qi Jingran, so she was stunned for a moment, stood up, and said, "Jingran is back." ”

The corners of Qi Jingran's lips hooked up with sarcasm, and he sat down directly at the table, glanced at Aunt Qi, and said, "What, this is my house and I can't come back?"

Aunt Qi choked, didn't bother with her, and said, "Let's eat, I'll go and serve dinner." ”

As she spoke, she hurried to the kitchen.

Qi Jingran was like a starving ghost reincarnated, and regardless of the presence of guests, he took the chopsticks and began to eat. I don't know if I don't like the taste of shrimp or what, she grabbed one, peeled the shell and put it in her mouth, she vomited, hurriedly ran to the bathroom, and then vomited.

It was obviously rude for a guest to be here, Aunt Qi apologized to Xu Yuanning, said I will take a look, and then hurriedly went to the bathroom.

Zhou He was also worried, but it was not good to let Xu Yuanning sit alone, so he had to sit with him. Instead, Xu Yuanning said thoughtfully: "Go and take a look, I'm fine." ”

Zhou He hesitated for a moment, but finally put down the dishes and chopsticks.

When she passed, Qi Jingran had already vomited and was coming out of the bathroom. Her face was terrifyingly white under the light, and Aunt Qi was very worried, and asked, "Where is it uncomfortable, do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?"

Qi Jingran was weak at this time and didn't speak. After slowing down, he said expressionlessly: "I'm pregnant." ”

It's like a bomb. Aunt Qi stayed where she was, Zhou He's face turned pale, and she said word by word: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Qi Jingran sneered and said, "Why don't I know what I'm talking about? I'm pregnant, two months old. ”

She hung on Luo Kaiwen's body wholeheartedly, and she didn't have to think about it to know that this child was Luo Kaiwen's, otherwise it would be impossible to stay.

Zhou He's face was hard to see, and he said, "He's sucking those things, it will affect ......"

She was powerless, and when she said this, she saw that Qi Jingran had already sat down at the table and couldn't say any more. Suddenly, I felt extremely tired, and I just wanted to find a place to sit motionless.

Aunt Qi was also at a loss, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "Xiao Luo, does he know?"

Qi Jingran paused when he went to pick up the vegetables, and said lightly: "I didn't find him." Her tone was utterly understated, as if she were saying that something had been put somewhere she couldn't find it.

Aunt Qi was even more at a loss now, and rubbed her hands. Subconsciously looked at Zhou He.

Now that the blame is meaningless, Zhou He quickly calmed down, and he didn't care that Xu Yuanning was still there, so he walked to Qi Jingran and sat down, and asked expressionlessly, "What are you going to do now?"

Qi Jingran looked casual and said, "Don't do it, give birth." She said it simply.

Zhou He couldn't help but clench his fingers, and then asked, "Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No, no money. This time the answer is even more succinct. Apparently he came back because he didn't have any money.

Zhou He was powerless for a moment, silent and did not speak again. No one can eat this meal except Qi Jingran.

He couldn't let Xu Yuanning sit with him, Zhou He quickly stood up and said, "Senior brother, I'll send you out." ”

After all, this is her family matter, and Xu Yuanning is not easy to interject. He said yes and stood up. I said hello to Aunt Qi and was about to leave with Zhou He, when I heard Qi Jingran, who had been eating, say lightly: "Don't you know that surnamed Cheng? Let him help me find out where Luo Kaiwen is." ”

What she said was like Cheng Wei was a servant for her to call.

Zhou He pursed his lips and ignored her. Just go outside.

As soon as I reached the door, there was a loud noise inside. Qi Jingran stood up like crazy and flipped the dishes and bowls on the table to the ground. A house full of messes.

She didn't wait for anyone to speak, she bent down and picked up a broken bowl from the ground and put it on her wrist, looked at Zhou He, smiled hysterically, and said, "If you can't find it, if you don't look for it, I'll die for you now!"

She wasn't joking, sharp shards pressed against her hands, and bright red blood soon flowed from her slender wrists.

Zhou He took a step forward and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy?"

Qi Jingran stepped back, her feet on the oil stain, she didn't seem to be aware, and said, "Don't come here." The shards on her wrists clenched tighter again.

Zhou He stopped.

Qi Jingran smiled miserably and said, "Anyway, I have no way out." If you don't find him, I'll die sooner or later. She screamed at the next sentence. It's like putting life and death out of the way a long time ago.

Zhou He closed his eyes, quickly opened them, and said, "I'll look for it, put the bowl down." ”

She tried her best to make her tone sound calm.

Qi Jingran didn't want to die yet, the bowl in his hand slipped to the ground, making a crisp sound and splitting apart. The whole person also closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Xu Yuanning kept paying attention, his movements were faster than Zhou He, and he stepped over quickly to support Qi Jingran, who had fainted.

Aunt Qi was panicked and confused, so she was helped to lie on the sofa first.

Qi Jingran was pregnant, and none of the three dared to touch her. In a hurry. I didn't know what Qi Jingran's situation was, and I didn't dare to rush to the hospital. Xu Yuanning reacted first, asked if there was a doctor in the clinic nearby, and asked the doctor to come and have a look.

Only then did Zhou He react, and he pulled his legs and ran outside.

There is a clinic at the entrance of the alley, and there is an old Chinese medicine doctor sitting for consultation. Aunt Qi invited him to come to the house to see when she was sick before.

Zhou He's luck is still good, and the old Chinese medicine doctor has not yet gotten off work in the past. I heard that Ren fainted, took the medicine box, and hurried over with her.

Qi Jingran was fine, with some hypoglycemia. After measuring her blood pressure and pulse, the doctor asked her to make a glass of sugar water and feed her.

But I don't know how, Qi Jingran never woke up.
