The next day, I just woke up and called Qin Miao before I had time to get out of bed and wash. Although this is not so humane for a pregnant woman, but the approval of the Education Bureau can not pass for a day, I will be stuck in my throat for a day, especially last night, I always have nightmares, dreaming that the piano shop and the former coffee shop suffered the same ending, and until now, I can not completely let go of the coffee shop on the road to success, and finally closed down in such a way, that is the hard work of me and Su Han's two generations of bosses!

After Qin Miao connected the phone, she yawned and asked me, "What are you calling me so early?" ”

"You haven't forgotten what the two of us agreed on yesterday, have you?"

"It's only a few o'clock, and people haven't gone to work yet."

I think it's a little too nervous. So after a little silence, he said to Qin Miao: "This matter is a big lump in my heart, you can get up now, I invite you to breakfast, we should have breakfast time." ”

"I can't stand you!"

I didn't stop nagging: "Hang up the phone and get up, I'll wait for you ......"

Qin Miao yawned, and hung up the phone after saying "life-urging ghost" impatiently, and I jumped up from the bed, quickly dressed and washed, and in the process of waiting for Qin Miao, I washed the dirty clothes I had saved in the past few days.

Women are naturally grinding, not to mention that Qin Miao is still a pregnant woman, so the time is already 8 o'clock, and she still hasn't shown up.

In a hurry, I took my briefcase and stood at the mouth of the alley waiting......

……

The temperature this morning was relatively high, and the wind was blowing strongly, so in addition to the morning exercisers, there were also kite flyers in the open space diagonally opposite.

I watched a little distractedly, the kites gradually merging with the blue sky, the sunlight passing through the gaps in the leaves, and a little warmth falling on my face, so that I could try to enjoy the morning.

I know that people who are alive in this world are a kite, no matter how high they fly, life will be like a thread manipulating you, and one day this thread breaks, which means that the end of life is not far away. So when you're flying, be sure to fly as high as possible, so that you can see some scenery that others haven't seen, and make your life worthwhile!

Pieces of clouds are blown by the wind, and they are blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye, just like some people come and go in my life, the sky with no end in sight is a huge production machine, the wind and rain are the designers, cleaning my past and nourishing my tomorrow.

Aside from all those trivialities, this world is actually quite beautiful!

"Jiang Qiao, what are you doing in a daze?"

I was startled, all the pictures of my brain were shattered, and when I turned my head, it was Qin Miao standing beside me, I immediately took out the milk and bread I had just bought from my bag and handed them to her, and said, "Please have breakfast, I will drive the car, and you can eat in the car." ”

"Aren't you tired when you're so nervous?"

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, I'm tired when I put this thing in my heart and worry about it!" I said as I pushed Qin Miao into her own car.

……

While driving, I said to Qin Miao: "There is a smoke hotel after the traffic light in front, what do you think is appropriate to buy?" ”

Qin Miao replied indifferently: "Looking for Chen Yi's father, you don't have to be so particular about buying things...... He's watched you grow up. ”

I was so excited that I immediately stepped on the brakes, pulled the car on the side of the road, and asked her with a straight face, "Are you sure you're not joking with me?" ”

"What you are thinking now must be that if you look for Chen Yi's father, I might as well go by myself, why do you want to get through you Qin Miao, right?"

"yes, that's what I thought, I really don't want you to treat this thing with a teasing feeling, okay?"

I was dominated by depressed feelings, and I unconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette, but remembering that Qin Miao was pregnant, I threw the cigarette case out of my pocket on the center console of the car in frustration, and then wiped my hands heavily over my face.

I know in my heart that what I am most afraid of facing is not Chen Yi's father, but I am afraid that I will inherit even the slightest favor from Chen Yi. I don't know when I started, I was already afraid to think of Chen Yi and the past that could make people die sweetly, so I was very conflicted and painful!

Qin Miao asked me again, "Have you ever contacted Chen Yi since she traveled abroad?" ”

"Nope."

"Not once?"

"Well, not once!"

Qin Miao stared at me for a while, and finally said, "I understand, you can drive...... I made an appointment with their big leader, not Chen Yi's father. ”

I glanced back at her, and then started the car, but suddenly remembered the short love between myself and Chen Yi. I still remember the scene when she went to Dongguan Street in Yangzhou overnight to look for me; I also remember that day she lived in my room, I was in bed, she slept on the couch, and used fish and rivers as a metaphor for every word of our relationship.

Looking back on the past, when I think of Xiao Ai, I seem to be living in two maps of my life, but my kite firmly grasped by the line has no ability to cross back and forth!

……

In a teahouse near the Education Bureau, Qin Miao led me to meet with the senior leader surnamed Yuan.

Qin Miao walked towards him with a smile on her face and said, "Uncle Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much." ”

Leader Yuan got up to greet him, first concerned about Qin Miao's father, and then asked Qin Miao's pregnancy and childbirth period, and then Qin Miao introduced me to him, and said straight to the point: "Uncle Yuan, you are also very busy with work, I won't delay your time, so I will talk to you directly...... This friend of mine opened a piano shop, which needs the approval of your Education Bureau, but for some reason, you haven't given this approval...... You see......"

Leader Yuan looked at me, his face showed a kind of embarrassment that people would take the initiative to speculate, and he asked back: "I don't handle this approval work, why didn't I let the approval go through?" ”

I hurriedly took the conversation and replied, "It was said that the location of the piano shop was relatively close to the residential area; In addition, there are already four training institutions around, so in order to protect the market order, there is no pass. ”

"That's the case! …… Well, this is really difficult to do, because the training market is profitable, but in the past few years, there has been no control, and the market is very chaotic, so the government has also instructed our education department to make great efforts to rectify. If their situation is indeed beyond the standard that the market can accept, it is not easy for me to give this favor...... Girl, please understand my uncle's difficulties, the current environment is indeed different from before, on the cusp of this, we are very cautious in dealing with anything! ”

My heart suddenly cooled half, so I looked at Qin Miao, if she couldn't handle this matter, then no one really could handle it.

Qin Miao was also surprised, she glanced at me, and then said, "Uncle Yuan, there is a special case for everything!" My friend's parents were very irresponsible, and they left him when he was a child, and he was never heard from. He still has a grandmother, but he also has a disability in his legs and feet, and even so, he has not applied for a subsistence allowance household, which has caused trouble for the country. Now, if you want to open your own piano shop and make some hard-earned money, but you are stuck in the business because of some regulations, isn't this too inhumane and not in line with the chairman's spirit of governing the country! ”

Qin Miao's words made my heart feel all kinds of feelings, and I was unwilling to open my wounds and win sympathy. However, the reality is too cruel. In short, I am still grateful to Qin Miao at this moment, because I can feel that she is sincerely helping me.

The look of embarrassment on Leader Yuan's face became even heavier, and he replied after a while: "The truth is such a truth, but ......"

Qin Miao interrupted and said, "Uncle Yuan, you don't need to find excuses, I know that you will definitely be able to do this." This time, even if I, Qin Miao, beg you to care about the disadvantaged groups, and give this approval, okay? ”

Leader Yuan sighed, and finally reluctantly said, "Give me a little time." ”

Qin Miao chased after him and asked, "Uncle Yuan, can you give us a word of accuracy now?" ”

Even though Qin Miao had already said what he could, the other party's face still had a look of embarrassment, and he didn't give us a positive answer after a while, and finally just said "wait for news", and left the teahouse before us, and took the initiative to pay the bill, and didn't even give us the opportunity to invite him to morning tea.

……

On the way back, it was Qin Miao who drove, and I sat beside her with a heavy heart. Qin Miao couldn't understand and asked me, "Jiang Qiao, who have you offended?" It's not that I say how I am, but there are really not many things I can't do in Nanjing. If it is a large project involving hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars between groups, I can understand that it is so difficult...... Now it's hard to do this just for the approval of your piano store, it's too subversive of my three views! ”

I patted my forehead with the palm of my hand before replying, "I don't know...... I'd better stop the renovation of the piano shop first, if I don't get it right, I really can't do it, I really can't afford to lose this money! ”

But he didn't want Qin Miao to say: "Don't stop, what should you do and what to do, this matter is even my own Qin Miao...... If you can't do it in the end, I'll make up for all your losses, and I'll pay for you to open the piano shop somewhere else. ”

I looked at Qin Miao with a little surprise, I didn't expect her to contribute so much to my affairs, so I asked her with doubts, "Why do you help me so much?" ”

"I, Qin Miao, am a person with clear grievances, if it weren't for you, there would be no Qiao Ye who is staying in Nanjing now...... Actually, I really want to keep the family up! ”

I looked at her and could feel her mood. After a long time, he replied: "Actually, you don't have to thank me, because what I did didn't play a decisive role, it was Su Han's last abandonment that fulfilled you!" ”

Qin Miao glanced at me, and then didn't speak again, compared to my difficulties in starting a business, her ups and downs in her married life were also so twists and turns.

In fact, I'm not sure if Su Han, who is pregnant with Qiao Ye's child, will passively break into her and Qiao Ye's world one day.

……

Although I got Qin Miao's very positive reply, I still went to the decoration company and asked them to stop the work first, if I don't continue to renovate after that, I will bear the default fee, as well as all the material costs and labor costs in the early stage, I only have a little money in my hand now, and I really can't afford to complete the decoration, and finally the piano store can't open the loss.

At noon, I sat alone in the small square on Tulip Road, and I had some doubts about my life, and I was also confused, and I really wanted to lie down on the cigarette case and sleep until I had enough rest to face this troubled world.

After all, this is not a place to sleep, I finished the last cigarette in the cigarette case, and after angrily rubbing the cigarette case, I bought a kite from a stall next to me, and I was the only one who entertained myself.

I put on the line, held the ball, and ran with a kite in hand......

The wind was sometimes loud and sometimes light, and I tried a few times before I was able to fly the kite into the sky. Instead of running after it, I sat on the curb and simply adjusted the angle of the release with my hands. Gradually, my heart became so empty, and I kept stupidly watching the kite flying in the sky, completely derailed from the world.

Until the phone rang in my pocket.

The call was from Xiao Ai, and her attention to this matter was no less than mine, but I didn't dare to contact her because I didn't get a positive answer, because I was afraid that she would be disappointed!

I hesitated for a moment, but I answered the phone, but I didn't say anything first......

Sure enough, Xiao Ai asked me, "Jiang Qiao, has the approval matter been done?" ”

"Uh...... There shouldn't be any problem, let's wait for the notice. ”

Xiao Ai asked again: "Then did you ask who is behind our trouble?" ”

I forced a smile, and then replied, "How can people say such a shy thing?" …… In the end, this matter was resolved on the basis of a case-by-case basis. In order to make my words more like that, I added: "We may need to do a good job of soundproofing in the renovation to prevent it from affecting the lives of nearby residents." ”

Xiao Ai finally smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

"Hmm."

……

Xiao Ai didn't meet me at noon, I heard that Yu Xin introduced her to a commercial performance, and she was paid about 2,000 yuan.

I felt even more sad in my heart, if it wasn't for the financial pressure on me, how could she take on such a commercial performance with her personality. But what the can I do now?

In a distraction, my hand unconsciously loosened, and the kite flew away with a ball of string beyond the tulip road, it flew very freely, but I knew that it was not far from the end.

Because a kite that loses control can't fly far!

In another moment of trembling, I suddenly remembered that today was Zhao Chu's birthday. No matter how busy we are, Zhao Mu and I should also go to see him on this day.

After exhaling heavily, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket again, and then dialed Zhao Mu's number......
