Chapter 64: A Surprise for You
After chatting with Chen Jingming about the recent trends of New Green Energy, I did not leave the company immediately, but patiently completed the work at hand in batches and did not drive away from the company until it was almost dusk.
I pinned the business card that Chen Jingming gave me with Mi Cai's private email address on the air outlet of the car air conditioner, and the reason why I didn't rush to send her an email at the company was because the United States was still before dawn at this time
Yes, the biggest change in the past two years is that I have learned to be restrained, I don't want to turn the grievances of these two years into questions about Mi Cai under impulse, I just want to talk to her with the expectations and thoughts that have always been there, as if we have never been separated.
After parking the car, Daddy also happened to come to me with a day's catch, I carried the fish basket for him, and we walked towards the entrance of the building together, he asked me, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"Finish the business at hand in advance." I replied, but I suddenly didn't know how to open my mouth to talk to him about the news that Mi Cai might be coming back, in the past two years, every time I saw him and his mother like other people's children, the guilt in my heart is no way to describe in words, I can only desperately try to make up for them in the material, but they have no pursuit of material, I know that what they are most looking forward to is that Mi Cai will return to China quickly, and then rebuild this broken family with me
Yes, the old man's wish is so simple, but we, the young people of the year, don't care about these, still living in grievances and grudges, struggling to find a way out that seems to be very close, but in fact it is far away, so I don't dare to tell them the news, because I am afraid that there will be any variables, unless Mi Cai and I personally confirm the news that she will return, so I swallowed back the words that were about to come to my mouth.
It seems that even the board father has been accustomed to waiting, he and his mother have not asked about Mi Cai's news in front of me for a long time, but I know too well what he thinks in his heart, he has nothing to do recently, and often goes to the wedding company downstairs in the community to do some chores, he said: This is not to covet that little money, but I think I can do something for those young people who are about to embark on the road to marriage, and my heart will be very fulfilling!
Entering the house, my mother was already busy for tonight's dinner, she skillfully made the fish caught by the father into a snack, I also took advantage of the free tonight, with the father to drink a few glasses of wine, everything seems to return to the days in Xuzhou two years ago, but there is less will be next to us to put the dishes and chopsticks, pour the rice color of the wine, which makes the taste of the wine also a little lighter, sometimes I will think: if she knows how much we miss her, will she move the time back?
After dinner at Daddy and Mom's, I went back to the old house, then turned on the computer in Mi Cai's room, and began to write emails to her, I calculated the time, if she would be working today, she should have been in her office by this time.
I repeatedly wrote several beginnings for this email, but I was not satisfied, I opened the curtains in anxiety, stood by the window for a while, and then looked at the old town in front of me, which was less vibrant, but had a sense of precipitation, everything here was calm as if there was no distraction of the world, and there was no burden of reality, I remembered that I had decided to talk to her as if I had never been separated, so I sat back at the computer and sent her a message very easily: "Did you go to work today?" ”
Time passed minute by minute, I never received a reply from her, but this is normal, after all, my contact with her only depends on the mailbox, if she has a routine meeting in the morning, there is definitely no way to reply to me immediately, so I put on a thick coat, habitually took a can of beer from the refrigerator, and put a pack of cigarettes in my pocket, walking on the increasingly deserted street, I want to use a walk to relieve the anxiety of waiting, but this late autumn night street has the taste of winter, I saw a couple who seemed to be homeless, hugging each other to keep each other warm, and discussing with a smile on their faces whether they would have a free trip in the future!
Scold! In my opinion, they are not much happier, because in their smiles, all I see is a bunch of memories woven with youth, which is not advanced in a materialistic world!
I walked to the moat, drank half a can of beer, lit a cigarette, and took my phone out of my pocket to see if Mi Cai had already replied to my email.
She hasn't yet
I sighed, and then turned all my attention to the river in front of me, which was flowing on the east wind, and it was not sorrowful, it was tireless, and these were exactly what I lacked!
The phone vibrated in my hand, and I reflexively reversed the phone screen, and it was Mi Cai who replied to the email, and she asked politely, "May I ask who you are?" ”
I decided to be an unknown man as before, so I gave up the procedure of reporting to my family, and asked very unceremoniously, "Did you go to work today?" ”
This time, Mi Cai's reply was very fast, and it was also very concise, just a sweaty expression, and I guess I was also depressed by my unknown behavior!
I decided to be strong again, and replied, "Give you two minutes to guess who I am!" ”
"It's a guess!"
"And who am I?"
"My very nervous husband!"
Before I had time to appreciate the happiness brought to me by this sentence, she quickly added: "Did Mr. Chen give you this email number?" ”
"Yes, everyone thinks that I have worked hard in the past two years, and I am about to collapse, can you give me a word of accuracy, when do you want to come back, how long will I have to wait?"
Maybe it can't give me a precise time, this time Mi Cai didn't reply for a long time, I drank the remaining half of the beer in this gap, and then lit a cigarette, but it was extinguished at the moment of ignition, I now only let myself smoke a few cigarettes a day at most, and today is no exception, because I have promised Mi Cai that she will reduce the number of cigarettes she smokes, and she also promised that I will definitely come back, but I did it, but she has not done it.
Finally, the sound of vibration came from my phone again, and it was Mi Cai's reply: "It won't be too long, and on the day I come back, I will give you a surprise and compensate you for waiting for so long!" ”
Disgusted with the inaccuracy of time, I replied with emotion: "What surprise do I want?" What surprise do I want? You're the biggest surprise to me, okay? ”
After the email was sent, I stood in Mi Cai's perspective to think about how to reply, and found that it was really difficult to reply, sometimes I was indeed a difficult person, but almost two years of waiting, and I really didn't know how to continue to bear it, it seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle between the two of us, unless she really stood in front of me with her luggage, otherwise I would still feel sad in so many unfulfilled promises!
I didn't want to embarrass her too much, so I replied to an email: "I know that if I persecute you so much, you won't appear in front of me tomorrow, some things need to be dealt with before to have a result, so I will still wait for you to come back as firmly as before Although someone always arranges for me to go on a blind date, but I refuse without exception, you don't have to doubt, I am so determined!" ”
Originally, I thought that the second half of the sentence with some jokes would also attract a joking reply from Mi Cai, but she replied: "You must be so determined, you must"
I hurriedly gave her an affirmative answer, and then led the conversation to the conversation at work, until it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was already lunch time for her there, and we ended the conversation! Although there is no substantial result, it is already a gift to me, at least we have reached the stage where we can have some sporadic contact, so I firmly believe that she is really not far from returning to China, or the day when she acquires Semptian Department Store!
The next evening, I took my 4-year-old son for our business director in the company, she went to Shanghai because she had important business, and my husband went to Taiwan on a business trip, so I was entrusted to go to the kindergarten to pick up this little kid who likes to talk nonsense.
I really like children, after dealing with the affairs in hand, I took the little boy to the toy store in the mall to buy a lot of toys, and took him to eat a children's meal, and then went back to the company to accompany him and wait for his mother to come back from Shanghai.
When I was assembling toys with the little kid, I received a call from the front desk, saying that Mr. Fang of Vincennes Group had no appointment but had to meet me and asked if I could see it.
Of course, I have the right not to meet with Fang Yuan, but there are always some subtle emotions that touch me, and there is no need to be so narrow-minded in the shopping mall, so I finally chose to respect his right to express myself, and I agreed to meet him.
Soon, Fang Yuan was led to my office by the front desk, and he sat down on the sofa across from my desk, while the little kid who was like a blank sheet of paper was still tinkering with his beloved toys in a corner.
The irony is that the two of us adults who have gone through the world are about to stage a human intrigue in front of him, and the deceit in business, but no one will remember that he once had such an innocent time
Fang Yuan had a very incomprehensible toughness in his body, as long as it was something he wanted to do, no matter how difficult it was, he would finish it even if he was kneeling, so I could already roughly guess what he was doing with me this time!
