After the meal, the family sat in the living room and chatted. Zhao Yuan took out the famous snacks of Jiangcheng from the suitcase and shared them with everyone.

She also bought a set of baby toys and clothes for her unborn nephew, and gave them to her sister-in-law happily.

After his brother and sister-in-law left, Zhao Yuan took out two coats that he bought for his parents and asked them to try to see if they fit. Zhao's mother couldn't help but count down while trying on clothes: "Far away, you and your sister-in-law are in the same year, you see, now your sister-in-law's children are about to be born, but you don't even ......have a boyfriend yet."

Zhao Chenggong frowned when he saw Zhao Yuan, and hurriedly interrupted Zhao's mother and said, "Don't nag, she is far away in a big city, busy with work, and life is stressful, so it is natural to get married later." ”

Zhao's mother was unconvinced: "No matter how big it is, it's not good for girls to get married too late." Didn't you say that your sisters were all concerned about taking care of Yuanyuan? Why did Yuanyuan stay in Jiangcheng for more than three years, and they didn't even introduce her boyfriends to her?"

Zhao Chenggong retorted: "Why didn't you introduce it? Some time ago, her little aunt also introduced her to a brain surgery doctor, but it didn't work out——"

Zhao's mother sighed: "It's always that the people they introduce are not good enough to be far away from our family." Alas, if only I could be far away......"

Zhao Yuan stepped forward and patted Zhao's mother on the shoulder: "Mom, you better try to see if the clothes fit." Getting married is like taking the college entrance examination, you can't get a good score if you don't prepare enough. So if you want me to marry well, don't rush me anymore. ”

Mother Zhao took a sip of her and scolded with a smile: "Okay, we won't urge you, so if you don't marry well in the future, it's all on us." But when it comes to getting married to friends, you have to hurry up no matter what, and don't delay yourself. ”

The next day, Zhao Yuan woke up to a gentle and crisp birdsong. She tiptoed downstairs and saw that the daffodils that her mother had planted in a porcelain pot in the living room had bloomed. The pale yellow stamens and white petals shine in the morning sun, giving off a refreshing fragrance.

Zhao Yuan's family lives in an old-fashioned fund-raising compound. There are only six families in the courtyard, all of which are small buildings on the first floor and one at the bottom. In addition to the shared compound, each family has its own small courtyard.

Zhao's mother planted pomegranate trees, flower mangroves, and a tall yellow cypress orchid in the yard.

Zhao's father raised a few thrushes and a starling and hung them on the branches of trees in his yard.

As long as you live at home and wake up in the upstairs bedroom, you can hear the moving call of the thrush and the cute learning of the starling.

Zhao Yuan was about to open the door to tease the starling outside, when his mother's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Yuanyuan, don't you like to sleep the most, why did you get up so early?"

Zhao Yuan turned around and said, "I haven't been home for a long time, I'm a little excited, and I can't sleep." Mom, I didn't argue with you, did I?"

Mother Zhao said: "No, no." We got up early. It's not easy for you to be out alone, but now that you're home, you have to take a good rest and don't have to get up so early. ”

When she was studying in the past, Zhao's mother couldn't get used to Zhao Yuan sleeping at home during the holidays. Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, the current Zhao's mother seems to have changed her perspective and become conniving with her daughter.

Zhao Yuan stroked his hair a little unaccustomed and said, "Mom, I have a headache when I sleep too much." In fact, as soon as I get home, I feel very relaxed. ”

Zhao's mother smiled: "Of course, it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out." No matter how good it is outside, it is not as good as your own home. Oh, by the way, what would you like to eat in the morning? I've made dumplings, or we're going to have dumplings and eggs this morning?"

Zhao Yuan said happily: "Okay, I like to eat boiled eggs the most." ”

After breakfast, Zhao Yuan went out for a walk alone under the pretext of exercising.

The sky in Longhang County is always as blue as a wash. Although it is early spring, magnolias, begonias, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms have all bloomed on the green squares along the riverside roadside, and the willow trees on both sides of the river have also sent out tender green new leaves, swaying in the warm spring breeze.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of his hometown, Zhao Yuan's mood was much better. She took a lot of photos with her mobile phone, sorted them out a little, and sent them to WeChat's circle of friends.

After a while, the photos were full of likes, and many people left messages envying her for coming to such a warm and flowery place in the cold winter.

Zhao Yuanzheng was a little proud, and suddenly the phone rang. It was Yang Feng who called. Zhao Yuan pressed the answer button and asked, "Brother Yang, is there something wrong?"

Yang Feng's voice sounded a little anxious: "Far away, have you returned to your hometown Longhang County?"

Zhao Yuandao said: "That's right, I came back yesterday." ”

Yang Feng said: "That's great. Didn't I tell you last time that I took over a batch of restoration projects for ancient buildings in Sichuan?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, you also said that our Jinlong Temple near Longhang County is also on the restoration list of this batch of projects, so let me work in partnership with you." ”

Yang Feng said: "It's the restoration of the Golden Dragon Temple near your Longhang County, and now there are some problems." ”

Zhao Yuan was curious: "Oh, what's the problem?"

Yang Feng said: "In the process of restoration, they found that the structural pillars of the old temple were cracked, which may cause the collapse of the temple. In this case, it stands to reason that the original main structure needs to be reinforced. But now that the Spring Festival is approaching, many workers are in a hurry to go home for the New Year, and the reinforcement can only wait until the New Year. ”

When Zhao Yuan was young, she often went to the Golden Dragon Temple to play, and now she heard that there were some problems with the safety of the Golden Dragon Temple, and she was also a little anxious: "Then in this way, isn't the Golden Dragon Temple quite dangerous now?"

Yang Feng said: "Yes, now that the project is half-cut there, there are some structural safety hazards. So I told them to take safety precautions before they could go home for the Chinese New Year. The project manager of this project is not a civil engineering graduate, so he doesn't understand structural matters at all. So far away, you are a structural engineer from a large design institute, you must help me go to the site of the Golden Dragon Temple to have a look, think of a good way to come out, so that they can ensure the structural safety of the temple, and then go home for the New Year. ”

Zhao Yuan immediately replied: "Okay, okay, I'll take a look right away." ”

Yang Feng said: "Oh, the project manager of this project is called Wei Xianfeng, who graduated from the Department of Economics and Management of our school. I'll send you his phone number right away, and you can contact him when you go. ”

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wei Xianfeng?" is that the same Wei Xianfeng from Guizhou?"

Yang Feng said: "That's right, it's him." Do you know him? That's even better. His management ability is okay, but he doesn't know how to be professional. I also called him and told him to follow your professional advice and ensure the safety of the site. ”

Zhao Yuan answered, but his thoughts drifted into the distance.

During the winter vacation of his junior year, after returning from Lake City, Zhao Yuan lay in bed for several days before he slowly eased his breath.

She no longer believes in love.

She interacts wantonly with the boys around her, listens to them say that she loves her, and then abandons them at will.

And Wei Xianfeng, who is one year higher than her, is one of these boys.

She met Wei Xianfeng at a school dance.

Since Qin Yiyu graduated, she has never found a dance partner who has a tacit understanding with her like Qin Yiyu. Sometimes when she arrives on the dance floor, she simply dances the male steps, and only dances with the female classmates who come with her.

But that day, she saw Wei Xianfeng at a glance - from height to face shape, from clothing to hairstyle, he was so similar to the person named Qin Yiyu in her heart.

Her gaze stayed on him for a long time, and she was in a trance for a while.

And he obviously noticed her, walked straight to her, smiled and stretched out his hand to invite, "Can I ask you to dance?"

He speaks with a distinctly southerner accent, a far cry from Qin Yiyu's standard northern Mandarin.

Zhao Yuan came back to his senses, but he still couldn't help but nodded, put his hand in his palm, and slid towards the dance field with him.

His dancing is very mechanical, and dancing with him can't experience the fun of dancing with Qin Yiyu before.

But since that time together, he has started asking her out for a walk. He likes to talk to her about philosophy while walking, and he learns English very well.

Hearing that Zhao Yuan had thought about level six, he gave her several English dictionaries.

He also wrote to her every week, in English.

Every time it was full of several large pages of English, Zhao Yuan's head hurt so much.

During the meeting, he explained that writing and reading letters in English can quickly improve his English. He encouraged Zhao Yuan to write a reply to him in English, which was an exercise for the English level 6 exam.

Zhao Yuan couldn't remember if he had replied to him in English.

She only remembered that Wei Xianfeng did not return to his hometown of Guizhou after graduation, but went to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. In Chengdu, he still wrote a few letters to her.

She didn't reply to a single one, and gradually forgot about this person.

After receiving the phone, Zhao Yuan immediately went home and rode his bicycle to Jinlong Temple.

Park your bike at the foot of the mountain below the Golden Dragon Temple. Zhao Yuan took out his mobile phone and dialed Wei Xianfeng's phone: "Hey, is it Manager Wei?" I'm Zhao Yuan, Mr. Yang asked me to take a look at the restoration work of Jinlong Temple, are you here now?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Wei Xianfeng's somewhat hoarse voice came: "Welcome, welcome, I will come to the gate of the temple to pick you up immediately." ”

After climbing hundreds of steps, Zhao Yuan finally came to the gate of the temple. The main gate of the temple has been restored and has been given a new look.

Wei Xianfeng is still the same as when he was in college, but his skin has darkened and he wears a hard hat on his head. Seeing Zhao Yuan, his eyes lit up.

Zhao Yuan gasped and waved his hand at him, "Hey, Manager Wei, it's nice to see you again." ”

As soon as Wei Xianfeng's gaze touched Zhao Yuan's, he immediately moved away. He turned his head a little panicked, handed over a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and said, "Far away, oh, Zhao Gong, it's hard work, let's go, let's go up and see." ”
