Early the next morning, Hu Zhong came to pick up Huo Hui and went to Jingshan.

Originally, it was said that it would be a good evening, but who knew that Hu Zhong called and said that Xu Huaimeng was anxious to think about the girl, and he was anxious to wait, so he simply arranged for someone to come, Huo Hui asked the newspaper for half a day's leave, and after packing up, the two went to the suburbs together.

Huo Hui didn't speak in the car, Hu Zhong was afraid that the atmosphere in the car would be dull, so he told her about the changes in the form of Beijing in recent years, and chatted a few more words, and the door of the dry rest house gradually appeared in sight.

The doorman recognized Hu Zhong's car, and he didn't check it, so he let him go directly.

The car turned around again and again, and finally stopped in front of a small white building. Hu Zhong went to open the door for Huo Hui, and instructed her like an elder: "You go in, I won't follow, you two talk more, don't worry." ”

When she arrived at the place, Huo Hui hesitated, Hu Zhong took a fancy to her thoughts, stretched out his hand and pushed her: "Go quickly, see what your own father can't erase." ”

Anyway, Huo Hui used to dare to slap the table with Xu Huaimeng, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, but he was not as bold as before.

Xu Huaimeng was watching the fish in the lotus pond behind the house, and when he saw him from afar, Huo Hui felt very uncomfortable. Hu Zhong is right, in the past few years, he has seen a lot older.

In the past, Xu Huaimeng's back was always straight, and his expression was stern, unlike now, he was slightly rickety, his temples were white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had deepened a lot, the only thing that remained unchanged was his expression when he looked at himself.

In fact, Xu Huaimeng is the same.

The girl is thin and thin, and when she thinks of the hardships she has suffered outside over the years, she forgot all the shelves when she was a father, and she wanted to take a good look at her.

He put his hands behind his back and asked, "Coming?" ”

Huo Hui didn't say a word, Xu Huaimeng looked at the fish pond with interest and smiled, and continued: "The conditions here are not better than those in the south, the water is cold, and the fish are not happy. ”

Huo Hui called him: "Dad." ”

Xu Huaimeng's hand shook, for this father, it was really difficult for him to wait!

Turning around, Xu Huaimeng didn't look at her, compared the chairs in the courtyard with his hands, and said to Huo Hui: "Sit down, sit down and talk." ”

He had just finished the operation, and he was still recovering, so he didn't dare to walk too fast, Huo Hui hesitated for a moment and pulled a chair for him. After the chair was pulled away, she didn't sit, just stood upright in front of Xu Huaimeng.

Xu Huaimeng took off his reading glasses and wiped them with the corners of his clothes, he knew that Huo Hui was admitting his mistakes for himself in the past three years.

He hasn't been with this girl for a long time, a father, no better than a mother, many things are afraid of being inappropriate, Huo Hui is a sensitive child, Xu Huaimeng is cautious when he speaks.

When Xiaohang was gone, she insisted on leaving, he was angry and gave her a slap in a rage, and then the person really left, Xu Huaimeng regretted it in his heart.

If she doesn't come back, the last time the father and daughter are together, the memory he gave her is a slap in the face, and Xu Huaimeng is uncomfortable to death.

Fortunately, people are now standing alive in front of themselves.

Xu Huaimeng pondered for a long time before he said, "I heard what your Uncle Hu said...... Have you gone back to where you came from? ”

"Yes."

Xu Huaimeng smacked his lips: "I haven't lived in it for a long time, is it cold in the house?" ”

"It's warm now, not cold." Huo Hui looked at his father, the temperature was twenty degrees, and he was wearing a shirt inside, and he was wearing Mao Kan shoulders outside.

"That'...... Xiao Cheng Siliang, have you seen them too? ”

"I've seen it."

Xu Huaimeng didn't know what to say now: "Why don't I ask Uncle Hu to find you a house again?" The place was full of acquaintances, and there were many people with mixed mouths, and they were afraid that they would not be clean. ”

He was protecting her, afraid that she would be bullied in the courtyard, Huo Hui was stubborn, and he didn't want Xu Huaimeng to worry about himself anymore, so he said: "It's good to live now, don't bother Uncle Hu." ”

Both of them are stuffy gourds, one can't ask, the other understands in his heart, and they both have their own ideas.

Xu Huaimeng sighed long: "Actually, it's okay if you don't move out, I don't feel at ease when you're out alone." If you really want to live outside, you don't rent it, and if you fancy a place, tell Sù Hu Zhong, and he will arrange it for you. ”

It happened that an orderly in the house came out to ask Xu Huaimeng to have breakfast, Xu Huaimeng stood up with the table and asked Huo Hui: "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

Before Huo Hui could speak, he immediately said, "After eating, you will eat with me a little." ”

He was in a good mood, stood up with a smile, and rarely had the energy: "The kitchen is very good for millet porridge, you drink it, it's very nourishing to the stomach." ”

Xu Huaimeng has lived here in Jingshan for a few months, and the orderlies who have been taking care of him saw that he had brought someone here, thinking that he was a guest, and was busy preparing tableware.

Xu Huaimeng smiled gently: "Don't be so particular, my daughter, just bring her a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

The orderly sighed twice, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to add two more side dishes. This Xu Huaimeng usually lives here to visit the sick are all work contacts, the family is rare, his ex-wife heard that the early years are gone, so he left a son, the relationship between the two is not very harmonious, occasionally come a few times to choke the popularity enough, cold and a daughter came out, everyone was surprised, and they all secretly looked at Huo Hui for a while.

The father and daughter ate at the table and rarely talked, Huo Hui lowered his head, put his hair behind his ear with one hand, and was very serious with a small spoon, drinking porridge is drinking porridge, Xu Huaimeng likes to watch her eat, and her thin body should be made up more, during which he took chopsticks and sandwiched two pieces of bamboo shoots for her, which was originally intended to be put in the plate at her hand, but paused again when he met Huo Hui's gaze.

"Oh, I forgot about it." Xu Huaimeng slowly put down his chopsticks and smiled apologetically: "Don't give you the sickness." ”

When people are old, there are some things that are disgusting to young people after all.

Seeing Xu Huaimeng's attempt to please himself, Huo Hui silently pushed the plate to his hand. Xu Huaimeng dropped the two bamboo shoots that were stopped in the air, and said softly and kindly:

"Don't leave when you come back this time, you still don't want to go to work in the house, you sue me, if you want to go to work, go on, study if you don't want to go to work, and recuperate for a while, someone introduced me a while ago that the foreign language college has developed well over the years, and your mother also graduated there, you still want to study again, and I'll let you go back?"

Huo Hui was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "I don't study, I haven't touched it for many years, I can't pick it up, and now it's good in the newspaper." ”

"Whatever you want, if you don't learn, you won't learn."

Although he said this, Xu Huaimeng still felt sorry in his heart, this child is like her mother, and she has a talent for speaking languages, if it weren't for the ...... I really ruined her.

The father and daughter rarely saw each other, Xu Huaimeng was ashamed of Huo Hui, so he naturally gave her all the good things, usually the supplements sent by others to visit the patient, bird's nest, he let the staff pack two large boxes, afraid that Huo Hui would not want it, so he directly sent it to Hu Zhong's car, Hu Zhong was smoking by the car, and when he saw the big bag coming out, he was happy.

Yes, looking at this posture, eighty percent of the father and daughter talked well.

Before leaving, while Xu Huaimeng was busy in the kitchen to find things, Huo Hui seized the opportunity to say to the aunt who took care of him: "Auntie, it's hot, you can find out his thin clothes for spring in a few days and change them, I'm sorry for you." ”

After eating, Xu Huaimeng sent Huo Hui out, and the father and daughter walked out along the promenade in the middle of the lake, during which he looked at this daughter again, and said that she was twenty-five or six, the eldest was not small, and she looked good.

Now, people are around, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, which is no different from before, but the original anger is gone. Once a person has no spirit and no soul, it is empty.

Xu Huaimeng secretly wondered if this would not work, but in his heart he had already silently planned for this girl. First of all, you have to settle her job, and secondly, find her a confidant and reliable person.

Xu Huaimeng walked very slowly, sometimes he needed to take a few steps to catch his breath, Huo Hui wanted to help him several times by Xu Huaimeng's side, but at the last moment he hesitated, and after a few times, he walked to Hu Zhongche.

Xu Huaimeng saw through Huo Hui's thoughts, stood on the corridor, and waved his hand to her: "Go back with your Uncle Hu, if you are free, come and see me." ”

Huo Hui walked a few steps with his back to him, and suddenly turned around and said the longest sentence of the day to Xu Huaimeng.

"If you're well...... Do you want to pay it back? Huo Hui was cramped, obviously not quite used to talking to Xu Huaimeng like this, her eyes looked away: "I mean, you haven't always lived here, have you?" When you are cured, you go home. ”

Although this place has mountains and rivers, it is not home after all. Huo Hui has always felt that only when there is a relative and a place to miss can he call home.

Xu Huaimeng understands that she is turning around to recognize him as a father and care about her illness!

Xu Huaimeng was excited, and hurriedly responded twice: "Go back, I'll go back when I'm sick." ”

Huo Hui nodded and said to Xu Huaimeng, "I'm leaving." ”

Hu Zhong took Huo Hui and gradually walked away along the path, leaving Xu Huaimeng standing alone on the corridor, full of emotion in his heart.

……

Shen Siliang's car went in, Hu Zhong's car turned out, and the two cars took a photo, and no one stopped.

As he passed by, Hu Zhong's driver stepped on the brakes in fright, looked at the Audi in the rearview mirror, and thought to himself! In the end, it's a person from two places, this car is driving, it's called a rush!

There is an old leader in the bureau who has asthma, and he was recuperating here a while ago, and Shen Siliang was instructed to send him an urgent letter today.

Coincidentally, the old leader was next to the small building where Xu Huaimeng lived, and he sent Wen Jiàn out, just in time to take a picture with Xu Huaimeng, who was going back.

Shen Siliang greeted him with a smile, with the humility of a junior: "Uncle Xu." ”

"Hey." I haven't seen Shen Siliang for a while, although the relationship between the two families is very stiff because of Xiaohang's matter, but the children respect you and take the initiative to say hello, Xu Huaimeng is also very old, and asked kindly: "Why did you come here today?" ”

"Come and deliver an urgent mail to Bureau Zhao."

"Oh." Xu Huaimeng nodded, "Lao Zhao's asthma is an old problem, I went to see him two days ago, and he is still sick." ”

"I've been busy all this time, I don't have time to see you, I heard that you had another operation in Xiehe after the New Year, how is your recovery?"

Xu Huaimeng smiled, and there was a lot of shelf behind his back: "It's not a big deal, it's hard to worry about you in my heart." ”

Shen Siliang helped Xu Huaimeng weakly: "I'll send you back." ”

Xu Huaimeng didn't give in, and walked back along Shen Siliang, obviously having something to say to him, Siliang is a smart kid, Xu Huaimeng didn't go around the bend, and went straight to the point.

"Huo Hui came to see me just now, and then I left, and I followed you with the kung fu of the front and back."

Shen Siliang said: "At the door, I saw it." ”

Xu Huaimeng's heart was shocked.

These two children are exactly the same, but they don't lie to him!

Seeing is seeing, not concealing, not playing those fancy intestines, Xu Huaimeng held his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Si Liang, I won't hide it from you, Huo Hui has suffered a lot outside in the past few years, and Uncle Xu is ashamed of her." ”

Shen Siliang listened and didn't answer.

Xu Huaimeng continued: "Let's not mention the past, I'm sick now, you also know that Daewoo's child, although it is her brother, is not born by a mother, the relationship is not close, and it can't be counted on, Huo Hui's temper is twisted again, and sometimes he doesn't say anything about the losses outside, so it's embarrassing for you to help me take care of me more outside." ”

That's to get to the point.

Shen Siliang understood what Xu Huaimeng meant, he was afraid that their Shen family would not be able to let go of Xiaohang's affairs back then, and he was afraid that his daughter would suffer, so he asked him for a guarantee here!

Under the big sun, Shen Siliang was still holding Xu Huaimeng, he was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled with him and promised: "Definitely." ”

Xu Huaimeng stopped and looked at him meaningfully: "Uncle Xu can take this seriously?" ”

The words spoken by the children of their Shen family have always counted. Shen Siliang nodded very briefly: "Don't worry." ”

"Go back...... Bring a good boy to your father, and say that I am out, and I will definitely come to see him in person. Xu Huaimeng's expression was solemn, and he stared at Shen Siliang for a while before breaking away from him and walking alone with his hands behind his back.

To say that the Shen family and the Xu family were originally related, although they didn't necessarily have a very close relationship, but in the situation of open and secret fighting, the two families have always been helping, otherwise, Xu Huaimeng would not have agreed to the matter of the two children at the beginning, right?

Near noon, the old leader wanted to do nebulization treatment, Shen Siliang waited for his instructions, just walked around for a while, he stood by the lake, sent a cigarette to his mouth, and was lighting the fire, only to find that the lighter was not in his pocket.

Touching left and right, he looked down and smiled.

That night, he gave her a lighter and never returned.

He used that lighter for many years, but after Xiaohang went to college, he used the prize money from his own game to buy it for him. He cherishes it.

Shen Siliang put the cigarette back, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and really enjoyed the scenery here, the sanatorium behind Jingshan is newly built, and the layout and greening are very good.

Looking at it, Shen Siliang gradually suppressed his laughter.

No wonder he felt familiar here, when he first saw Huo Hui, he was in such a place.
