The question of what means of transportation to choose for the return trip from Lingang took half a day.

"If you take a plane, the time to get in before and after is no less troublesome than taking a high-speed train. Wenwen suggested.

The reason why I prefer to take a plane in my heart is because the flight time of the plane is less than an hour, and the hours before and after can be broken down into the chores of waiting for the bus, taking a taxi, and going through security.

If you take the high-speed rail, it is different from when I was in the hospital, at that time I didn't realize what Wenwen's pregnancy had to do with me, and now I didn't say that it had anything to do with me, but I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and I was alone with Wenwen for a few hours, I didn't know how to face it, and I didn't know what kind of ** Wenwen would throw.

Without waiting for me to express my opinion again, Wenwen continued: "You see that I am pregnant, it is not easy to bump, how can the take-off and landing of the plane be as smooth as the current high-speed rail, and it is quite scary to catch up with the air flow during the flight." ”

This is obviously not a reason, but it is the best reason.

On the way of the high-speed rail, Wenwen still didn't mention the child in her belly, but as two older colleagues of the company, they chatted about the journey they had gone through with the company all the way.

Wenwen's first job after graduation was at my company, when my wife had just passed away and my daughter was in the second grade, which was my lowest emotional point. On the one hand, the sadness of my wife's departure made me sluggish, on the other hand, the home that my wife ran by her suddenly fell on my head, and I was a little at a loss.

At that time, Wenwen was new, and her work was not very suitable, so she could only start in business. The private company is not so formal, I can't take care of my family affairs, so I asked Wenwen to help me tutor my daughter, sometimes I can't leave or can't go back outside, I let Wenwen pick up my daughter for me. After a long time, she was almost more familiar with my daughter's life and study than me, and she was only ten years older than my daughter, both of whom were girls, and my daughter was happy to stay with Wenwen.

Gradually, Wenwen's involvement in my housework went beyond tutoring and accompanying my daughter, probably because I really didn't adapt to life without my wife, and the family was very chaotic. When Wenwen was doing her daughter's homework or watching TV, she helped tidy up the house, clean, laundry, and cook, which made me embarrassed.

In the first days, because my wife had just left, everyone was more understanding and sympathetic to me, and as time went by, I gradually had some discussions and even some strange eyes.

For those discussions, Wenwen didn't seem to care at all, and she still enjoyed it. But I thought it might not be good for a young girl, and since she was quick to get started with work, I had to slowly reduce her involvement in my housework, mainly staying at my daughter's school and school tutoring.

"What's wrong, am I doing something wrong?"

Wenwen was sensitive to this change, and she once asked me about it.

I said, "You've been here for 2 years, and you're already on your own at work, and my daughter is a few years older, and I'm getting used to it, so you can focus on your work." ”

Seeing that she was not very happy, I added: "Actually, if you do your job well, I can also worry less about snacks, and you are also helping me." ”

She reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Since then, although Wenwen still takes the initiative to accompany my daughter on weekends, my daughter also likes to be with her, after all, without a mother, women still feel different about their children.

But in her usual work, Wenwen is more focused and devoted, the office and the residence are two points and one line, and she takes the lead in the work, never counting the gains and losses. When I promoted her to department manager, no one expressed dissatisfaction.

Looking back now, Wenwen has been in my company for almost 10 years, and she has also grown from a young girl who has just left the campus to a dignified, mature, and charming woman, but unfortunately she has become an older leftover girl.

Wenwen has not left since joining the company, and I know that a large part of this is due to her affection for me, in her former words, until the day when my choice is settled, she is willing to self-intoxicate in the watch and smile in sweet dreams.

"Since it's a dream, you have to wake up after all, so why bother?" I advised her.

"You yourself are not in a dream. I was happy until I woke up, and you started out with bitter daydreams. It is impossible for a man to be resurrected from the dead, so why should you?"

All right. I can't talk about you.

People don't want to go, people are conscientious and capable at work, in addition to trying not to give her an illusion, I can't take her away, as a little comfort in my heart, I can only quietly tilt her more on the year-end bonus.

But while chatting, I talked about my dead wife.

"Your wife has been dead for so many years, and you still think about her so stubbornly that you can't extricate yourself and will not marry again, do you really love your wife? What is the touching love story between you?"

The traces of my attachment to my wife can be seen everywhere in the house, and Wenwen often comes to the house to accompany my daughter, so naturally she will not feel it. But she had never asked such a straightforward and sensitive question before.

I was speechless for a while, I didn't know how to answer, I think Wenwen's "very love" should be the kind of overwhelming love between adolescent men and women.

"Yes, I think it's love! But maybe it's not the kind of love you understand. The acquaintance between us is not romantic at all, it is a blind date, and there are not so many mountain alliances and sea vows, and there is no very exaggerated and flamboyant behavior deliberately created by many young people today for romance. So the kind of 'very love' I am talking about, although it also includes the passionate love in the early days of men and women's acquaintance, but it is more about the fading of each other, the sharing of honor and disgrace, the support and responsibility between each other, mutual tolerance and companionship, and the joys, sorrows and sorrows of raising children and running a family together. ”

Wenwen glanced at me with a little disdain: "If I don't understand, if I don't understand what kind of person you are, I won't be stupid enough to be as tendoned as you are, stupidly waiting for a dust to settle and may end up in nothing." ”

I know what Wenwen meant by crazy waiting, but she said that she also understood the kind of relationship between me and my wife, and I still doubted it, after all, I had not experienced the ups and downs, shared hardships, and gone hand in hand.

This disbelief in my heart is probably written on my face.

Wenwen glanced at me again, and her voice was gentle, as if she was talking to herself: "Two people live together, isn't it just to share the joys and sorrows, advance and retreat together, respect, care, tolerance and companionship with each other? How many unfortunate men and women, after the curtain is over, the song is really over, only those couples who have been holding hands and refusing to relax after the tide has ended, and the audience has left, are the real lucky ones. ”

Also, Wenwen is no longer a recent college graduate, and I don't know if she had a boyfriend later, but her infatuation over the years alone is enough for her to think about such a question upside down hundreds of times and thousands of times.

But this issue is too sensitive for the two of us, and it is also awkward to talk about.

Remembering that Xinya told me on the phone that Wenwen would not have to rush to work in the company after she went back, and that she would go home and rest for a few days, I thought this should be an opportunity to divert the topic.

I didn't think it would make me more passive.

I didn't even fully convey Xinya's meaning, Wenwen asked me: "Xinya is also a leftover girl, you let her live in your house, don't get married and don't admit to being in love, what do you mean?"
