Chapter Twenty-Five: Heartlessness
On Monday morning, after accompanying her parents in the hospital to complete the formalities and send them home to rest, Zhao Xiaocui hurriedly took the shopping bag out of the house and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of things, and even the refrigerator was almost stuffed when she came home, and her mother blamed her for spending money and buying things indiscriminately, she smirked and didn't answer, cleaned up and made a meal for her parents, and after cleaning up, she came out of the kitchen and sandwiched between her parents, holding the arms of the two and said lightly: "I was on the plane at 7 o'clock in the afternoon." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" When Zhao Xiaocui said this, her nose was sour and astringent, and her tears were endured alive. Mom said very calmly: "Well, your dad and I will see you off in the afternoon." Let's leave at 4:30 to catch up, Lao Zhao? ”
"No problem, when we get to the airport, let's just eat together and send the baby in." Dad also has a plain face, only Zhao Xiaocui knows how cruel it is to her parents every time she wants to leave, but they have never been unhappy and complaining, and although she felt guilty every time she left home, it was just a thought, this time leaving home really made her feel different, she was an only daughter at home, she had lived according to her own ideas since she was a child, and it was just before, but as she grew older, she felt more and more uncomfortable when she looked at her parents who were getting older. In order to get herself out of such emotions, she said to her parents: "Second elder, it's time for a lunch break, I want to sleep well, and I'll start working hard tomorrow." After saying that, she pretended to easily push her parents to take a lunch break, she just lay on the sofa by herself, a blank tear in her head went down her cheeks and left her ears and did not wipe it, I don't know how many times I will be woken up by a child's shout outside the window, and I saw that the time was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Turning over from the couch and staring at the TV for a long time, she stretched and walked towards her bedroom, where she had to pack the things she was going to take with her when she left for the night. Standing in the room where she has lived since she was a child and looking at the familiar desk, lamp, wardrobe and bed, Zhao Xiaocui shook her head with a smile, she stood on the desk and looked at her bookcase, the books on it are still the same as when she was in high school, they are all workbooks, dictionaries, and classmate records related to the college entrance examination. "Xiaocui, we have been classmates since junior high school, and high school is another three years, it can be said that it is really fate, I hope you will have a better life in the future." "A good friend should be a lifetime if he doesn't talk about it!" "It's been three years, although we haven't talked much, but I am deeply impressed by you, and I wish you a beautiful future. "I've been at the same table for so long, I'm tired of talking, so be it." ”…… Looking at his family's words and handwriting in the past, Zhao Xiaocui recalled the days of racing against time every day in the three years of high school, especially the last year, "Maybe I can't get that momentum back then." She thought silently to herself.
At 5:20 p.m., the family went to the airport to find a restaurant in Lao Shaanxi for dinner, and Zhao Xiaocui teased her father: "I've eaten all my life, but I still have to eat Lao Shaanxi." ”
"You don't know, this meal is solid and happy." Dad said with a simple smile.
When she was sent into the security checkpoint, Zhao Xiaocui could still keep smiling, but when she passed the security checkpoint and looked at her parents' distant figures, she was sad for a while, sitting at the boarding gate silently wiping her tears, this is the first time she has cried so many times away from home, not because of sadness but because of guilt, but what problem can crying solve? Zhao Xiaocui secretly made a decision to give herself another two years, if she can mix well, she will stay in Beijing and wait for her parents to retire and pick them up, if it is still the same as now, she plans to go home and live a normal and stable life with her parents, at least the family will no longer suffer from separation.
When she came to work in the company again, Zhao Xiaocui felt uncomfortable, she knew that this was another holiday syndrome, every time she came back to work on vacation, she would feel unhappy anywhere, and she couldn't do anything, she resisted this evil spirit and pretended to make herself look devoted.
"Yo, I'm back, how is our mother's health?" Lao Liu stood beside Zhao Xiaocui with a water cup and asked with a smile, since he came to the new company, Zhao Xiaocui found that Lao Liu seemed to be reborn, and his previous stability was gone, so he liked to be blind and poor. She turned around and looked coldly at Lao Liu, and said to Lao Liu, "What's the matter with you!" ”
"Hey, it's still 'something' to make a sound, I'll do it, how to find it." Zhao Xiaocui lifted it open and said, "I'm still busy, don't get involved here." Who knew that Lao Liu took two steps back and stepped forward again, saying, "What's the matter?" So irritable. ”
Zhao Xiaocui didn't pay attention to him anymore, only listened to Lao Liu continue, "Oh, I know that you have holiday syndrome because you have been on vacation for a long time, it's okay, what's the matter, it's all a trivial matter, Ming'er must be fine." ”
"Well, I said what are your plans for yourself?" When Zhao Xiaocui asked him so seriously, Lao Liu looked confused, and reacted for a while before saying: "Work hard, work hard, make money, buy a house, and marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Zhao Xiaocui shook her head and said, "You are the idea of the unification of men all over the world." remained silent, and Lao Liu continued: "I'm talking in the vernacular, isn't life just such a thing in the world, why bother saying so mysteriously putting on a high hat for yourself." Hearing Lao Liu say this, Zhao Xiaocui also nodded in agreement.
"What's wrong with you? Remembering to plan as soon as you go home? ”
"It's not, it's just that I feel that my parents are getting older, and that's what it's like to be messing around outside, so reflect on myself."
"Well, reflect, it's to reflect well, you said that you don't want to find a boyfriend when you're so old, can you not worry about your parents?" Zhao Xiaocui stretched out her hand and said, "What's the matter with you!" ”
"You really don't know what to do, you tell me who else has told you besides me, which means that we are real comrades-in-arms!"
Zhao Xiaocui shook her head and said, "I know, you hurry up, I want to read the email." ”
"Okay, you get busy first, you can remember what I said, for parents, the lifelong events of children are the real big things." After Lao Liu finished speaking, he left with a water cup, and Zhao Xiaocui stared at the email for a long time, neither clicking on a letter nor thinking about anything, just sitting stupidly. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses and think about Lao Liu's words. Maybe he's right, 'I'm not young, and it's difficult to find the right one if I don't look for the back, she suddenly shook her head violently, reminded herself that it was working hours, and she woke up to open the email and read it one by one, fortunately, there was nothing big in the past few days, or the previous project was going on step by step, most of the emails were the daily data reports sent to her by Chen Jing, she downloaded each report and pasted it into the summary table one by one, carefully compared, looked at the daily data changes, and gradually returned to the state of work.
