Chapter 568: A Gift Before Parting
The two of them came to the restaurant together in silence, sat down, and ate breakfast by themselves.
After breakfast, one went to work and the other stayed at home.
Qiao Xihe returned to the bedroom and continued to sleep with his head covered.
However, she curled up in the bed, her eyes wide open, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, until a mobile phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.
I pulled my phone over and saw that it was Eric.
She picked it up and asked, "Eric, what's wrong?"
Eric said: "I'm a little nervous about my trip, and I'm going to go to the field today, and when I was packing my luggage, I suddenly found that when I left the village, Grandpa Yan gave me some things, some of which are yours, so I want to give them to you before leaving...... I said I was going to come back, but the itinerary changed a bit, so I won't necessarily come back, maybe I will stay until Christmas, and go home directly. ”
Qiao Xihe was stunned, "You ...... You're leaving?"
"yes. Eric smiled helplessly: "I didn't want to be in such a hurry, but with such and such arrangements, I can only decide for the time being." ”
"Okay, where are you now?" Qiao Xihe said.
Eric said, "I'm on my way to your community. ”
Qiao Xihe originally wanted to say that he would come to the house, or see him directly at the gate of the community, after all, if Eric wanted to leave here, he must be in the heart of a big bag, and it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. However, on second thought, those gossips, and the words of the aunt, if she and Eric met in public, then ......
The rumors will be even more hyped.
Qiao Xihe thought for a while, "Okay, let's meet at the fast food restaurant at the entrance of the community, right?"
Eric said, "It's fine." I've got about ten minutes to go. ”
"Well, okay. Qiao Xihe hung up the phone, hurriedly went to change his clothes, put on lipstick casually, took the key and went downstairs.
As soon as she arrived on the first floor, she almost bumped into Wang's sister-in-law head-on.
Sister-in-law Wang looked at Qiao Xihe in surprise, "Young lady, where are you going?"
Qiao Xihe said: "I'll go to the commissary to buy something, and take a walk in the small garden by the way." ”
Sister-in-law Wang said, "Young lady, will I accompany you?"
"Go upstairs and rest, you have so many things in your hands. Qiao Xihe said very considerately, "I can just take a walk by myself, it's okay, my lawyer has warned me, everyone doesn't dare to do anything." And ......," she pulled a disposable mask out of her pocket, "I also wore this, just in case." ”
Sister-in-law Wang said, "Okay then...... Young lady, you must come back early?"
"I will. Qiao Xihe felt that it wouldn't take too long to find Eric's thing.
Sister-in-law Wang watched Qiao Xihe walk out, and she was still relieved, but looking at the things in her hand, it would not be very convenient to follow the young lady......
"Forget it. "Sister-in-law Wang threw things directly in the stairwell, and there doesn't seem to be much of a person here, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to come back and get it later, and in comparison, the safety of the young lady is more important.
Qiao Xihe didn't know that Sister-in-law Wang followed behind him quietly, and after putting on a mask, she walked quickly to the fast food restaurant at the entrance of the community.
At this point, there were no people eating breakfast in the fast food restaurant, only two or three tables of customers scattered, and as soon as she entered the store, she saw Eric sitting in the corner. He had a travel backpack and a large suitcase beside him, as if he was going to travel far away.
The seat he chose was good, remote, and the flowers and plants around him just blocked the view from the window.
After she sat down, she smiled and asked, "Where are you going to go?"
"I'm going to go to the northwest to have a look, and I heard that the customs and customs there are different. Eric said, looking in high spirits.
Qiao Xihe asked, "You don't plan to climb the snow mountain, do you?"
"Well, I'm thinking about it, but I'll see if I can get used to it when the time comes. Eric said as he took out a cloth bag from his travel backpack, "This is the gift that Grandpa Yan asked me to give you." ”
The cloth bag is made of red non-woven fabric, and the festive patterns on it are echoed by the aesthetic preferences of the countryside, and it seems that it is indeed something given by Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan.
"What is it, let me see. Curious, she opened the cloth bag and found some seeds inside, "This is ......"
"Some herbs and seeds of flowers and plants, because Grandma Yan sees that you like the flowers and plants over there very much, so she got some seeds for you. Eric smiled, his eyes shining brightly, "They gave me some too, and I'm going to take them home and plant them again." ”
The seeds are actually not worth much, but Qiao Xihe held it in his hand as if he had obtained a treasure, "Thank you so much Grandpa Yan Yan, but it's a pity that I left unexpectedly last time, and I couldn't say hello before leaving." ”
"If we have time in the future, we can go to the small village together?" Eric said, touching his chin, "To be honest, I still like the life over there, it is very peaceful and comfortable, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, there is a lot less trouble, every day the sun rises and the sun sets, such a simple life, it should be very good for the body, I feel that I didn't enjoy it last time." ”
Qiao Xihe nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, we'll go together when we're free, so you can stay as long as you want...... Turn you......" she looked Eric up and down, "into a real little rural baby." ”
Eric said: "The image of a little rural doll ...... Well...... Maybe it's hard to try it, and life is a rare thing to try, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Qiao Xihe looked at him with a smile, feeling a lot better.
She actually likes optimistic people like Eric, unlike her who always likes to think cranky and let those unnecessary troubles haunt her.
Eric glanced at his watch, "Alright, the things have arrived, and I should leave too, otherwise I won't be able to catch the train." ”
"Okay, be careful on the road, and I wish you a good journey. Qiao Xihe stretched out his hand.
Eric looked at her face with a smile, reached out his hand, shook it and let it go.
In their eyes, it's just a friendship that is all too common.
Eric picked up his travel backpack, "I'm gone, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye. Qiao Xihe waved at him.
Eric nodded and walked out of the fast-food restaurant.
Qiao Xihe looked at the flowers and seeds, stretched his waist, and then put away his things and went home.
Wang's sister-in-law, who was hiding behind the flower bed outside the door, looked at the men and women who left the fast food restaurant one after the other in disbelief, "...... The young lady actually carried the young master on her back to see this man...... It's also a joke...... Isn't it......"
She couldn't believe what she was seeing with her eyes.
