Mr. Zhuang didn't reply to my message until the early hours of the morning, and he replied with the same words: Xixi, thank you.

Strangely, I didn't say anything that night, he didn't send anything more, and when I called on the way, we were all silent and only listened to each other's breathing, and there was a feeling that a thousand words were not spoken. I seem to be able to understand why he said thank you to me, and I'm sure he can understand my thank you.

I may have been disappointed, and in the end, I reluctantly said goodnight to him in order to save money on the phone.

He didn't say when he would come to see me, and I didn't ask, but he happily went to town early the next morning to look for work. During the winter vacation, especially before the Chinese New Year, it is easy to find temporary jobs, because many outsiders are thinking about going home early for the New Year.

I found a temporary job in the factory where I used to work during the summer vacation, mainly helping the workshop director with chores in the office. Although the salary is not higher than entering the workshop, it is true that you can learn more than in the workshop.

After working for half a month, I have seen all kinds of intrigues, some people are lazy and always push their work to others, and some people do wrong things and love to put all their responsibilities away. The workshop manager is a middle-aged woman, and she has a good impression of me because I come over almost every year to work as a temporary worker.

She's a practical person, so she can't stand the intrigues in the office, but she never pokes them to her face, and when she's in a good mood, she teaches me some ways to survive.

Half a month later, there were not enough people in the workshop, and I was temporarily assigned to go up, because the temporary workers at the end of the year had high salaries, so I earned nearly 3,000 yuan in less than a month.

After discussing with my grandmother, I decided to celebrate the New Year with Aunt Tian Hua and them, and I also bought a lot of New Year's goods.

My grandmother blamed me for being too extravagant, but she didn't know how happy I was. Although I still didn't keep in touch with Mr. Zhuang often during this time, I was very happy every day, and even the workshop director said that I was like a different person.

On the 25th day of the lunar month, Mr. Zhuang called me and asked me what I wanted as a New Year's gift.

The first image that flashed in my mind was a picture of my daughter, and I almost blurted out the stupid thing that I wanted to see my daughter, but fortunately I kept it in time.

It was very cold in my room, and when I saw a hole in the gloves on the table, I casually said, "I want a very warm pair of gloves." ”

But Mr. Zhuang was suddenly silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little low: "Xixi, are you saving me money? After all, I ran the company single-handedly, and my dad didn't want to take over so quickly. You can give a wayward gift and don't have to be so wronged. ”

"Mr. Zhuang, there is really no grievance or grievance, my gloves just broke a hole, and I only need a pair of gloves now. "Actually, what I want is a hug from him, and it would be nice to see him on New Year's Day. But this request is a bit excessive, the end of the year is very busy, and I don't have a reason to let him run all the way to the Spring Festival.

He chuckled, "Okay, then buy gloves." Hee-hee, you're so easily satisfied. ”

"You used to talk little, but now you talk a lot. ”

Mr. Zhuang said "Huh?" suspiciously, and replied with a smile: "You too." ”

Then we laughed for a long time like fools, and before hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhuang suddenly said that he wanted to kiss me, and I quickly hid in the quilt and said "what" to the microphone.

Almost everyone in our village celebrates the birthday of the lunar calendar, and my lunar birthday is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and I don't care about this special day at all as before. Ever since I was sensible, I couldn't help but get goosebumps when I thought that my uncle had thrown me into the garbage heap near the hospital on such a cold day when I was just born.

On that day, I was on the last day of work before the year, and when I was returning home with the New Year's goods distributed to me by the workshop director, I suddenly received a call from the counselor.

He smiled and said to me, "Shen Xi, happy birthday!"

I was very surprised at the time, I didn't understand how he could know my lunar birthday, and I didn't understand how Mr. Zhuang knew: "Teacher, how do you know that today is my birthday?"

He was stunned: "I have a classmate who is a fellow countryman with you, and many of you have lunar birthdays over there, so I estimate that the date on your ID card is also lunar calendar." ”

I see, or I'm too stupid, Mr. Zhuang's thoughts should be the same as the counselor's.

But isn't it strange that the counselor called me to say that? So I thanked him awkwardly and was anxious to find an excuse to hang up. He didn't say anything like me, and I was too embarrassed to suddenly bring up my feelings.

After a short silence, the counselor suddenly seemed unnatural, but he quickly remembered what he wanted to say earlier: "Xixi, you did well in the exam this semester, and you will continue to work hard next semester." ”

"Thank you, teacher, I will ......"

There was a sudden scolding on the other end of the phone, interrupting my words: "Song Qianxiu! It's time to eat! I don't know how to find a girlfriend all day long, do you want to become a sperm? You are also a big ......."

The sound stopped abruptly at this point, and the counselor seemed to cover the microphone. After more than ten seconds, he spoke again, with a little panting in his voice, as if he had just run: "Shen Xi, it was my mother who was talking just now." My classmate will go back to his hometown tomorrow, and I will ask him to bring you something, and I will send you his number later. ”

"Teacher?" I was stunned for a moment, and then refused, "I can't accept it, have you brought things to other classmates?"

I don't want him to treat me specially, and that upsets me. But I didn't dare to tell him suddenly that I already had Mr. Zhuang or something, which would be too nervous, after all, the counselor had never expressed his liking for me.

The counselor called me out, and then didn't speak again for a long time.

I seemed to be able to feel that he was already blushing: "Shen Xi, I want to apologize to you. I didn't mean to kiss you when I invited you to dinner before...... Don't always avoid me, my friends are also fooling, don't take it to heart...... My dad has a lot of students who have sent things in advance, and the family really can't pile them up, so if you don't dislike it, take it for the New Year, and say hello to your grandmother for me, so be it. ”

He hung up after saying a lot of things in one breath, and I didn't even have a chance to refuse.

I felt that I couldn't accept his gift, and I couldn't get through when I called back, so I had to send a text message to refuse. But as if he didn't see it, Gu Zi sent me a text message, and said that the things had been handed over to his classmates, and it would be wasted if they were moldy and rotten at home, so I don't dislike them.

Where do I dislike it, his father is a professor at a prestigious university, and the world is full of peach and plums, and the students who sent things in the past should be successful people in their careers, can they send him bad things?

Thinking of this, I suddenly got a little angry, and I was the same last time, what was I doing in the drawer of my room by secretly stuffing money, what if I didn't find out? What if it was taken away by my uncle-in-law before I saw it?

I thought to myself, I just wouldn't accept it when his classmates contacted me, as if those things were given to his classmates by the counselor.

After dinner, I went with my grandmother to help make meatballs at Aunt Tian Hua's house, and when Mr. Zhuang called, it was half past seven and it was dark.

When I ran outside the door to answer the phone, my grandmother looked at me with a sigh.

"Mr. Zhuang, I just ......"

He opened his mouth and said something that made me dizzy: "Xixi, I'm lost." You don't have street lights here, come to the entrance of the village to pick me up, be careful on the road. ”

I didn't expect to see him a year ago, so I borrowed a flashlight from Aunt Tian Hua and rushed out excitedly.

But I calmed down halfway through, it had just snowed in the past two days, and it was easy to slip when the ground was icy, and it was really dangerous for him to come all the way. And listening to the voice on the phone just now, it was obvious that he drove over.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, two bright lights suddenly shot at me in the darkness in front of me. I subconsciously raised my hand to block my eyes, and I only heard someone stepping on the snow, and the crunching sound was particularly harsh in the night sky.

When I got used to the light and moved my hand away, a tall figure stood in front of me blocking the light.

I didn't need to make the face carefully to know that it was Mr. Zhuang coming, and I was about to rush over to hug him, but he suddenly conjured a bouquet of flowers from behind us and blocked between us.

Fragrant, bright red roses.

He wrapped his arms around the scarf I had given him and chuckled the roses into my arms, "Happy birthday, Hihi. ”

"You lied to me, I thought you were lost. My eyes were hot, and there were hot tears that wanted to rise up, so I quickly threw my head back and swallowed.

He took off his tweed jacket with a sullen smile and put it on top of me without saying anything: "Follow me." ”

I didn't know what he wanted to do, and seeing that he was thinly dressed, I always wanted him to put on his coat, but he squeezed my cold hands and complained a little bitterly that I didn't take care of myself: "Let's go, I'm not cold." ”

There are a few acres of land behind our village that have planted a lot of trees, and they have grown to three or four meters tall.

Mr. Zhuang took me behind the tree, and I realized that there were several large fireworks in the morning, and Mr. Zhuang told me to stand still and then set the phones on fire.

The fireworks exploded almost above our heads, and the colorful flowers left a deep imprint on my heart as they pierced the night sky. I was so excited that I couldn't speak, and it wasn't until the ashes from the fireworks fell on our heads that Mr. Zhuang pulled me back a little embarrassedly: "Little girls like this kind of romance, what about you?"

I've been secretly taking deep breaths, and the bouquet in my arms is the first bouquet I've ever received in my life, and I think it's so fragrant.

I didn't say anything, and took the initiative to give Mr. Zhuang a kiss in response to his question.

I heard someone walking towards me from afar, so I guess the people in the village thought it was strange to come and see this clearing.

I hurriedly pulled Mr. Zhuang from another path to the entrance of the village, and after shaking off the fireworks on his body, he wanted to drive the car to my door. But I hesitated, everyone in the village may have relatives with cars, but my family can't, so Mr. Zhuang's car can't be driven inside.
