Chapter 21 People who need happiness from others are not very happy
On weekends, the moon lookout looks particularly depressed.
I don't know if it's because of "SARS", even the door of the high-end club is closed, and there are no vehicles in the whole community, which seems empty.
The supermarket is just as deserted, and the babysitters who usually come to buy things are nowhere to be found.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was wandering around alone with a shopping basket, looking at the empty shelves and aisles, and she suddenly had the illusion that she was left alone.
Finally saw a figure wearing a mask, it turned out to be Xiaoru, Xiaoyuan walked over quickly to greet her.
Xiaoru was stunned for a moment when she saw her, and said, "Are you there?"
Xiao Yuan nodded and took off the mask, so that he was not so breathless and it was easier to speak.
"There are so few people today, what about the swallows?"
Xiaoru sighed: "I have asked for leave to go back to my hometown." ”
Xiao Yuan blinked and let out an "oh".
"A lot of them are gone, who knows when this illness will be a head. There are also a lot of people who go to other places with their employers, anyway, they have money, they can go anywhere. Xiao Ru said a little angrily.
"That'...... Are you going to leave too?"
Although she doesn't usually deal with these nannies much, it still makes people feel a little panicked when everyone is gone all of a sudden.
Xiaoru shook her head: "I don't know, I want to go, and my mother will let me go back, but I don't worry about Miss Guan." ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded, it was the first time she knew that Xiao Ru's owner's surname was Guan, that Miss Guan was usually not very good to Xiao Ru, Xiao Yuan had seen her reprimand Xiao Ru in public a few times, but Xiao Ru would still worry about her.
Isn't this feeling like I have quarreled and made trouble with Mr. Cheng, but in a special period, I have never thought of staying away from him and leaving him alone.
"Actually, Miss Guan is quite pitiful. Xiao Ru whispered while holding a bottle of jam.
Xiao Yuan didn't understand that Miss Guan had always been so beautiful in her impression, like a proud peacock, always so eye-catching.
Although, from her eyes, Xiao Yuan has read some loneliness and melancholy, of course, there are many more things that Xiao Yuan can't read. But the pitiful two words came out of Xiaoru's mouth, which still made people feel strange.
Xiaoru looked at Xiaoyuan and said as if she was ruthless: "Actually, I don't want to say it, but ...... Forget it, you're different from us, and I don't think it matters to tell you. ”
After a pause, she told Xiaoyuan: Miss Guan's Hong Kong boyfriend was here a while ago. Because of the SARS epidemic in Hong Kong, he didn't expect Beijing to start this time, so he left, and he never contacted Miss Guan.
"Didn't he take Miss Guan away?" Xiao Yuan was very strange.
Xiao Ru let out a long sigh: "He has a wife in Hong Kong, how can he take her away!"
"Ah!" Xiao Yuan shouted, she was too shocked: "Does Miss Guan know?"
Xiao Ru nodded.
"You know you're still with him, what are you kidding!" she couldn't have imagined that Miss Guan, who looked so arrogant, turned out to be someone else's second wife.
Xiaoru looked left and right, but fortunately, there was no one around: "You be quiet, in fact, everyone knows, but you don't know!"
"Oh my God!" Xiao Yuan covered his forehead, what is this?
Although this kind of thing is quite common nowadays, and it is also common in newspapers and television, it is still quite surprising to have such a person around.
"Have you persuaded her? Okay, why do you do this when you have hands and feet?"
Xiao Yuan remembered the old saying "how can a beautiful woman be a thief", and suddenly felt that it was a pity.
Xiao Ru pouted: "What qualifications do I have to say!"
In fact, everyone knows Miss Guan's identity, and even many people secretly envy her.
Young and beautiful, living a rich life, you want the wind to be rainy, and you don't have to do anything, just use a charming smile to naturally have someone to serve.
In this era of confusion and distorted values, having a beautiful face and a graceful posture is the biggest capital.
But who would have imagined that a sudden infectious disease made many things appear, and the original love was just a kind of pet love, and the first one would be abandoned and abandoned as soon as there was a stir.
Xiaoru put on a mask: "I'm going back." ”
Xiao Yuan nodded.
Standing at the door of the supermarket, Xiang Xiaoyuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she suddenly remembered the lyrics in "Love Letter":
People who expect happiness from others tend to live less happily......
Fortunately, she never needed happiness from others, she knew very well what she wanted, how to work hard to achieve her goals, and she was never afraid of being abandoned. Because she has never been left behind, she has a large group of good friends, and they are each other's backing and dependence.
Everyone is the same, they are all so determined, they are all so happy, and they are all so down-to-earth in life.
***
Xiang Xiaoyuan was cleaning up the cooking table in the kitchen, and Cheng Hao came in and handed her the cordless phone: "Xue Cheng's phone." ”
Xiao Yuan wiped his hands and took the phone.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly, and when she heard Xue Cheng's answer, she asked again, "When will the class be finished?"
Hearing Xue Cheng say that he would wait until April, Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Don't come back yet, wait a minute, the situation is not good here. ”
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Cheng Hao, and felt that she shouldn't say it herself, after all, Xue Cheng was Mr. Cheng's boss, and there might be a lot of affairs to deal with here in Beijing, but she couldn't help but say it.
Cheng Hao took the phone and continued: "It's okay, you listen to Xiaoyuan, don't come back yet." ”
Hearing him say this, Xue Cheng on the other side of the ocean is very uneasy, the news in the United States is also reporting on SARS in China for a while, and no one knows how long it will last and what situation will deteriorate.
So he said nervously, "Shall I go and see my uncle and them for you......?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Hao became angry: "Don't worry about it! I don't have to worry about other people's affairs!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone unceremoniously, which startled Xiaoyuan.
Xiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head, in fact, she vaguely heard Xue Cheng's words just now, and she didn't know what kind of conflict Mr. Cheng had with his family, how could he be stiff like this.
I can get calls from my parents every day, and I watch such news every day, how can there be parents who are not nervous......
It didn't take long for Xiang Xiaoyuan to receive another call, it was Zhong Yuan and the others who called, saying that all the preventive drugs such as banlangen were out of stock, and asked Xiaoyuan to help see if they were sold in Beijing.
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked for leave to go to the pharmacy.
Cheng Hao didn't say anything and drove silently and accompanied her to visit one pharmacy after another.
Sure enough, all of these medicines were sold out, and I finally found out that there was still some stock at a large pharmacy, but the queue at the door was already very long.
Cheng Hao looked at the long queue and said to Xiaoyuan: "You can line up slowly." ”
And he turned and left.
