In the winter, at ten o'clock in the evening, on the deserted long street, women covered their heads and faces with red woolen scarves and wrapped them around their necks twice, carrying a big travel bag on their shoulders, and came to the cultural center step by step.

The snow was falling all the time, and through the falling snowflakes, the view was inevitably obstructed.

If it weren't for the fact that this woman was wearing a big red scarf, Xu Weiguo wouldn't have noticed her.

Red is a very bright color.

It is very eye-catching in the ice and snow.

The woman got closer and closer, and after a while, she came a few meters away from Xu Weiguo.

Seeing Xu Weiguo, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and her footsteps suddenly paused, standing in place and looking at Xu Weiguo fixedly.

Then, she took two steps back.

Her face was completely obscured by a scarf, revealing only a smooth forehead and a pair of eyes.

Judging by the skin on her forehead, her age should not be too big.

Those eyes were also a little familiar, and the moment they saw Xu Weiguo, the horror that flashed in their eyes was captured by Xu Weiguo, who was looking at her.

Although the horror quickly disappeared, replaced by embarrassment and suspicion, Xu Weiguo still recognized her.

Qin Lian'er.

Why did she suddenly appear near the Yanjiao Cultural Center late at night?

Qin Lian'er was a little hesitant, should she turn around and walk away before Xu Weiguo recognized her, or should she say hello and continue to go back to the staff dormitory of the cultural center?

Xu Weiguo felt that Qin Lian'er appeared too suddenly, and Qin Lian'er also felt that the timing and place of Xu Weiguo's appearance were sudden.

Xu Weiguo observed Qin Lian'er.

Qin Lian'er was also observing Xu Weiguo.

The two stood face to face from a distance of a few meters, through the fluttering snowflakes, and neither of them had the intention of speaking first.

Xu Weiguo went to many places this day, ran from the capital to Yanjiao, and then walked dozens of miles, the weather was cold, and he ran for so long but there was no gain, he would also feel tired at this time, and he didn't want to deal with people very much.

Qin Lian'er was carrying a bulging travel bag, and the contents of the bag were also quite weighty, and after standing for so many minutes, she was also a little overwhelmed, so in the end, she took the initiative to say hello to Xu Weiguo.

"Camp Commander Xu, long time no see. ”

Xu Weiguo nodded and asked casually, "It's so late, why are you here?"

Qin Lian'er smiled lightly and replied, "Camp Chief Xu may not know that after the incident with Director Xiao, I left the capital and returned to my hometown, stayed for a while, and was also decadent and self-doubting for a while. Later, I suddenly realized that I was still so young, and if I was so depressed, no one would be sorry.

So, I'm back again. ”

Come back, go back to work at the cultural center?

"The position of director of the Yanjiao Cultural Center is still reserved for you?" Xu Weiguo was slightly surprised.

Qin Lian'er shook her head, "The curator has been replaced by someone, I have been away for so long, how can I still be given an orphan girl to retain the position of curator? I need a job that can support myself, it is better to be familiar than to be cooked, and I have no other skills, so I still came back and became a cadre of the art department." ”

Cadres of the art department?

The cadres of the art department work under the director of the art department, make work plans, design and design cultural activities, assist the leaders in art creation, and collect some archival materials.

Compared with the previous curator, this job is much more tiring, and it is just a better name than ordinary employees, but it is actually a chorus job.

The curator doesn't do it, he comes back to do chores. This Qin Lian'er is indeed quite strange.

It's just that this is someone else's choice, Xu Weiguo doesn't have any position to ask, just chatters a few words at will.

"What is Camp Commander Xu doing here again?"

"My car broke down, so I went to the center of town to find out if there was a car that could take me back to Beijing. ”

Qin Lian'er looked around and chuckled again, "At this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the car." The cultural center has a car for the curator, and it is convenient for the director Xu to borrow the car, and the curator will definitely agree. ”

Xu Weiguo thought about it, if it was too much time now, he wouldn't be able to go home tonight, so he accepted Qin Lian'er's proposal, followed her into the cultural center, and found the new curator to borrow a car.

The new curator is a man in his forties, named Fu Song, tall, thin, when he was dug out of the hot bed, he was a little unhappy, but as soon as he heard that Xu Weiguo was going to borrow a car, his eyes began to glow, and that trace of displeasure immediately turned into joy and enthusiasm, without saying a word, he agreed directly, and personally took Xu Weiguo to the front of the car.

Xu Weiguo said that he would return the car tomorrow, and by the way, he repaired the broken down car and drove away.

Fu Song said politely: "The cultural center has been on holiday, and we will not go to work normally until the ninth day of the first lunar month, during this period, we will basically not use this car, Camp Chief Xu can drive with confidence, and you can come back whenever you want, don't worry." ”

Xu Weiguo hummed, said thank you, waved at Fu Song again, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

After opening the door of the cultural center, from the rearview mirror, you can still see Fu Song and Qin Lian'er still waving their hands here, both of them smiling.

After running more than 20 kilometers along Yanjiao Road, after crossing the Dawang Bridge, Xu Weiguo drove the car into Jianguo Road, and there was no traffic jam along the way, because he was driving the car on the road.

After the car turned into the main road to the military compound, Xu Weiguo suddenly braked, turned around, and galloped all the way to Songshan Xiaozhu again.

As it turned out, it was he who thought too much.

Matsuyama Kozuki is empty day and night.

After returning to Xu's house, it was already half past eleven.

The lights were still on on the first floor, and Sun Fengwu and Bai Lianyu heard the sound of the car and immediately opened the door.

Xu Weiguo looked at the two suspiciously, Bai Lianyu lowered his voice and told Xu Weiguo, "The kitchen also simmered a jar of soup for you, and my aunt and grandmother said that if you feel hungry when you come back, let me give you some noodles to eat." ”

Xu Weiguo was indeed hungry, and after a bowl of hot noodle soup was put down, he felt warm in his stomach.

When I returned to the room, I found that Lin Xiaoman was already asleep, but the tiger girl was spitting and playing with her eyes open.

The tranquility of a room.

That's what home tastes like.

There was a brazier burning in the corner of the room, Xu Weiguo ran over, warmed his hands, and felt the temperature on his face, then he came over to pick up the tiger girl and kissed a few bites.

Lin Xiaoman turned over, reached out and touched the side, and immediately opened her eyes after finding that it was empty, and when she saw Xu Weiguo coming back, she immediately turned over and sat up, and asked what time it was in a daze.

"That, Wang Dajun, oh, no, you should call him Chen Dajun now, after you went out today, Chen Dajun came to our house to play, saying that someone asked him to bring a box of things to you."

"A box of things, what kind of things? Just because it was sent by Chen Dajun, you didn't have the slightest suspicion and didn't open it to see it, so you just took it in your hand, what if it was a dangerous item?"
