Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Sister Li called me to ask when she would come, and I thought about it and told her that she would not use it this year.

Sister Li was a little lost: "Why?

I'm a little sorry: "I want to spend time in a different environment." "I was disturbed by Zhao Yijing, and now with Dr. Xia, I really don't want to stay in Beijing, a place of right and wrong.

Fan Ling heard me finish talking to Sister Li on the phone, and asked me with some regret: "Do you really want to transfer to Jiangsu?"

"Hmm. I nodded, "Keep the house here in Beijing, and let Zhang Fan be stationed in Beijing to contact Si Zhiheng's business." I'll go to He Xi and take Garbo down. Although He Xi's town is not far from Nanjing, Si Zhiheng does not have any business there, but it is not like in Beijing, where it is inextricably linked and cannot be avoided.

"If he wants to find you, can you hide from you?" Fan Ling sighed.

"What then? Let's take one step at a time. I can't stand it so entangled. "Staying in Beijing is inevitably a lot of dealings with Si Zhiheng, and apart from He Xi, where can I hide?

"You go to explore the way first, and if you can really take Garbo down, I'll go too. Fan Ling looked at me as if she had made up her mind, she might also want to be calm and calm with Xiao Bin.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I packed my things, brought simple daily necessities, took the plane to Nanjing with my daughter, and changed buses for two hours. Zhang Fan helped me rent a one-bedroom apartment less than 2 kilometers away from He Xi. Picked me up when I arrived and took me to the house.

The environment of the community is very good, the new building, there is a green space and a small bridge pavilion between the buildings, the house is on the second floor, the north-south transparent pattern is very good, if such a house is placed in Beijing, my home is located in the third ring area, a month to 5000. But in this small city, it's only a thousand months. I feel the difference in housing prices.

"Sister Song, this house is okay, right?" Zhang Fan touched his head and smiled.

"Very good. I nodded gratefully, "I didn't expect it." ”

"That's good. Zhang Fan put his mind at ease, "My house is near here, Sister Song, if you have anything, just call me directly." Zhang Fan is a local and lives with his parents. I said hello in response.

"By the way, I heard that the home of Zheng Zhao, the marketing manager of Garbo, is here, is it convenient for you to help me inquire about his situation?" I asked Zhang Fan, this place is very small, Zhang Fan's family is an old resident, relatives and friends are neighbors, and it should not be worrying to ask.

"No problem, Sister Song, you wait for my news. Zhang Fan readily agreed.

After Zhang Fan left, I took Nuan Nuan to walk around the neighborhood, the small city is leisurely, full of New Year's flavor, walking through the quaint streets and alleys, looking at the Spring Festival couplets of every household, drinking "Yuanbao tea" in the small shop, greeting each other cordially is also my familiar tone, and my heart is also a lot of peace, this kind of taste is the taste of the year that I am familiar with. I somehow fell in love with life here.

Zhang Fan was very efficient, and told me in the evening that Zheng Zhao's parents lived not far from my community, and the unit number was told to me. There is not only these hard news, but also a lot of soft news: "His wife and children also live with their parents, Zheng Zhao usually himself is at Jiabao's Suzhou headquarters, and this time he came back to stay after the Lantern Festival." His father went to the park every morning to exercise, and his mother played mahjong in the chess and card room in the community every afternoon. "Even the place where my wife works and the children's school are found out.

I couldn't help but be surprised: "So detailed?"

"Hey, it's such a big place, the east asks two questions, the west asks two questions, and you know it when you inquire about it. Zhang Fan said, "Sister Song, do you want to visit him?"

"Can someone you know bring an introduction?" I asked.

"This, I'm afraid, is not easy. Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, "Zheng Zhao is quite a marketing manager of a state-owned enterprise, and he is very good when he comes back." Not to mention looking for him to do things, even relatives and friends are gone. ”

"Is there any place that Zheng Zhao often visits?" I asked, even if it doesn't work to go to see each other, you might as well try a chance encounter.

"When he came back, he stayed at home, he didn't go anywhere else, and he couldn't even invite him to a friend's party. Zheng Zhao is absent all the year round, but his hobbies are not easy to inquire. Zhang Fan was also a little embarrassed, the trajectory of Zheng Zhao's parents was clear, but Zheng Zhao himself was mysterious and couldn't inquire.

"Oh. Then I got it. I hung up a little disappointed. Sure enough, it's his style, how many times I've called and made appointments, it's harder than meeting national leaders.

I'm here to see him, and it's a shame if I can't see him at this point. After pondering and meditating all night, I went through the situation of everyone in Zheng Zhao's family described by Zhang Fan in my mind, looking for a breakthrough. I laughed at myself secretly, if this kung fu is used to chase boys, it is estimated that male stars will be chased.

With an idea, I called Zhang Fan the next day: "Can you please help me watch my daughter for 2 hours in the afternoon?"

Zhang Fan smiled: "No problem, my mother likes to take children the most." "After a while, I came to pick up Nuan Nuan, I only felt ashamed of my daughter, but I was helpless for the sake of business, and repeatedly told Nuan Nuan to be obedient, and went straight to Zheng Zhao's community with the door.

It was only a five-minute taxi ride away, and I got out of the car and walked around the neighborhood three times, and finally found a chess and card room in a row of stores on the south side. The chess and card room is not big, there are two stalls of mahjong, and there are a bunch of cards playing. The boss looked at me as an unfamiliar face, and his attitude was not particularly enthusiastic: "Do you play cards?"

I smiled: "Wait a minute, I'll touch two mahjong." ”

The boss eased his face: "I haven't seen you before." ”

"The new move from the neighborhood next door, I heard that there is a chess and card room here, and I joined in the fun. "I took it in stride. Opening a chess and card room is a delicate matter, looking forward to a lot of people, but also afraid of strangers.

I moved a stool and sat next to one of the stalls, watching the battle and listening to their small talk. After a while, one of the aunts received a call that a guest from the house had come to the door and got off the mahjong table. Three missing one, I went to the table smoothly. Needless to say, there was no need to say much among the players, and I quickly entered the state, and in addition to playing mahjong, I also had to figure out which would be Zheng Zhao's mother.

After a few fights, I asked, "How is the elementary school?" I just moved in and want my child to go to that school. "**The school is the school where Zheng Zhao's children study.

Sure enough, one of the aunts said, "It's okay." By the way, Sister Wu, isn't your grandson in that school?"

The one called Sister Wu said while stacking cards: "There is a lot of homework to die, so small, only the first grade, leaving so much homework." ”

After a few rounds of chatting, I determined that the aunt surnamed Wu must be Zheng Zhao's mother. continued to chat with her for a while, and after four laps, it was 2 hours since I came out, so I hurriedly went back and called Zhang Fan to pick up my daughter.

I bought some fruit at the door and brought it to Zhang Fan's house, and I was really sorry to trouble people when I met him for the first time. Zhang Fan's parents are almost sixty years old, Zhang Fan has not yet started a family, and he is very fond of children, when I went in, I was chasing Nuan Nuan to give her a snack, and my guilt for my daughter was slightly better.

In the next few days, I continued to trouble them to help watch my daughter for 2 hours every afternoon, I went to the chess and card room to play cards for five days, and Zheng Zhao's mother chatted more and more familiarly, I would ask her how to make soup and raise flowers and other things, knock on the side to ask her about some of the situation at home, and she was also happy to chat with me hotly. Speaking of raising flowers, I asked her quite sincerely if she could cut a few branches for me, and I went back to plant them to feed. She replied casually: "Okay, I'll give you a few sticks tomorrow." ”

It snowed lightly overnight, and the next day it was all water and thin ice. When I passed, she didn't go, and the aunts who played cards together said: "Last night the sky changed, and it is estimated that the old cold legs are not good again." Other than that, she doesn't fail to have itchy hands. Looking at me and curious, he said, "You young man, you are not a small addiction." "I had to laugh and say that I was just bored. After a round trip that day, I went back with the excuse that I had something to do.

When I went back the next day, I brought a box of plasters, and when I was chatting after four laps, I handed it to Aunt Wu: "You can try this medicine, it works very well when you put it on." I happen to have it at home. ”

Aunt Wu picked it up and looked at it, a little hesitant: "How embarrassing is this." ”

I pushed her: "It's useless for me to keep it." You try it first and it doesn't work. ”

She was a little embarrassed to accept it: "How much? I'll give it to you." ”

I smiled: "It's not expensive, everyone is in the neighborhood, give me money and you'll see outside." Don't you still have to prune and raise flowers for me? ”

Aunt Wu patted her head: "Ah, I forgot." He said and took my hand enthusiastically: "Go to my house now and see, which pot you like, I will cut it for you." ”

I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart, I thought that sending medicine was just a step forward, but I didn't expect to reach the sky in one step and reach the goal. When I arrived at Zheng Zhao's house, there was an old man and a middle-aged man playing chess in the living room, my heart was beating a little fast, and Aunt Wu introduced to me: "The old man and son of my family. He pointed at me again: "Our neighborhood, Xiao Song." It was so polite and gave me a box of plasters. ”

I nodded and smiled at them, the middle-aged man was undoubtedly Zheng Zhao, slightly fat, with a little beard, I had seen a photo of him at their company's station. I absentmindedly followed Aunt Wu to the balcony to see the flowers, but I didn't know how to get to know Zheng Zhao in my heart.

"Which flower do you want?" asked Aunt Wu. I ordered one casually, and Aunt Wu cut it for me.

It stands to reason that I should go, but my heart is entangled. Zheng Zhao was right in front of me, but I didn't know how to seize the opportunity to sell myself and He Xi to him.
