After talking to Mark, a new hustle and bustle is about to begin.

The decoration design of the store, Mark, personally helped Jia Yi contact a new team to help, the person in charge is Jiang Yuan, it is said that only the friendship price is charged, and she doesn't know how much the friendship price is, but after that conversation, Mark didn't mention the consulting fee at all, and he didn't even feel like he was helping her. But Mark didn't come to the store anymore, and if there was anything, he only contacted on WeChat, phone and email to say a few words, and every time it was a few words.

The store has been renovated, Jia Yi had to move some kitchen utensils that had just arrived to the apartment, and by the way, let Yuanyuan come over to help him tidy up, Yuanyuan came panting when she came, and begged for water as soon as she entered the door.

Jiayi hurriedly asked her what happened, Yuanyuan drank the water and said slowly, it turned out that before she went out, her sister and brother-in-law had just quarreled, and she had to send their children to Yuanyuan's mother's house, Yuanyuan said: "These two people quarrel and have to do it every minute, there is no way, I can only let the little nephew go to grandma's house for refuge, I just sent the child over." ”

Jia Yi was very worried and asked, "Then you come to me, your sister will be fine, right?" ”

Yuanyuan shook her hand and said: "I can't persuade them, quarrels are so common for them, what can I do, not to mention that my brother-in-law cheated first." ”

As soon as Yuanyuan finished saying the word "cheating", the stainless steel plate in Jia Yi's hand fell, and Yuanyuan was frightened by a "bang".

Yuanyuan helped pick up the plate and looked at Jia Yi in surprise: "Are you okay?" ”

Jia Yi's face was not very good-looking, but she still said, "It's okay." That...... Brother-in-law out of ...... Cheating, your sister...... What did she do? ”

"What to do?"

"Is that what they are going to divorce?"

"Of course not, my brother-in-law's cheating was before the child was born, and now it's just a broken thread, and I've endured it for so long, now it's divided, what about the child?"

"But...... They ...... "Jia Yi wants to say that no one will be happy in such a marriage, after all, this is a pimple, a scar, an eternal stain, how can people turn a blind eye?" But she still couldn't say it, she knew that Yuanyuan didn't want to talk about it, and besides, she should know better than anyone else that a loveless marriage could also be supported by various compromises.

She understood, painfully understood.

She was just expecting an accident, a special case, and she sighed and said, "Child...... I'm afraid the child is uncomfortable. ”

Yuanyuan nodded, sighed, and said, "No way, but he's still young, maybe he'll forget it in the future?" ”

Jia Yi shook his head and said very firmly: "I won't forget, I can't forget, this is an intimate memory of life, and it is destined to become a shadow of childhood." ”

Jiayi and Jiangyuan team agreed on the progress of the project, and if the progress is smooth, the new store is expected to be officially renovated by the end of next month, and then the trial operation will be held for a period of time, and when the Christmas Square officially holds activities, it is time for the store to be launched.

should have indulged her imagination on such a day, but she was in a heavy mood because of the chat with Yuanyuan during the day.

She remembered her family.

She hadn't called home in a long time.

In the past, because of work, she called once a week, then once a month, and now when she comes back to N City, she is closer to her home in the south, but she still has not returned, to be precise, she has not told her family at all - she has resigned from Beijing and returned.

As for the opening of the store, she is even more silent, and in the hearts of her family, she is still the daughter who insists on drifting north and is busy traveling everywhere.

But because of the events of the day, she still misses her family at this moment after all.

She used her mobile phone number in Beijing to dial the phone at home, and it was her mother who answered the phone, she was happy, but she complained, saying: "Jiayi, you haven't called for a long time!" ”

"Mom, there's nothing going on at home." This sentence is something she has to ask every time she calls since she went to college and is away from her family, like an example sentence, but she asked it cautiously back then, but after she went to Beijing, it became a mantra, and now she doesn't know what else to ask besides saying this.

"It's okay, it's just talking about why you haven't called for so long, it's going to get cold in Beijing."

She reflexively felt the temperature around her, and when she was about to say "no", she immediately realized that she was in N City, and said, "Mmmm, it's getting cold." You have to wear two at home, right? ”

"Yes, you don't know that your father and your brother are clamoring to sleep with quilts at night." Ying Ying heard laughter on the other end of the phone, and her mother seemed to be a lot more optimistic in recent years, and her laughter could always be heard on the phone. Even for Jiayi, there was more laughter on the phone than she had in the more than a decade she had been at home.

It's weird, she couldn't help but think.

"Do you want to talk to your dad?"

Jia Yi was afraid that her mother would hand the phone to her father, so she hurriedly said, "My father doesn't need it." Is my brother okay with his studies? ”

The mother thought she was going to talk to her brother, so she handed the microphone to her son.

Jia Yi heard her brother's voice getting thicker and thicker, like a man's magnetic voice, she hurriedly asked her brother who was still in high school in a small town about his study life, and once again confirmed with his brother that there was nothing discordant at home, and finally exchanged a few words with his family, and then hung up.

This is the case every time, with repetitive pleasantries, repetitive example sentences, and repetitive answers. Other than that, she really didn't know what else to say. But it's okay at home, and it's an extra satisfaction for her. For her, calling home always made her feel selfish, and she just wanted an answer: it's okay at home.

But how can the family be fine: the parents must be arguing as usual, the younger brother's studies are not improving as before, and the conflicts between the neighbors are probably increasing.

Who doesn't have something to do at home?

She knew, but she still hoped that her family would tell her that the family was fine.

This answer is what she needs, and it ensures that she can work without worries or devote herself to entrepreneurship as she does now.

And her family naturally follows an inherent tradition: to report good news and not bad news.

She wanted this answer, and her family gave her this answer as she wished, and she was more content with this answer.

Like the perfection of a circle, there is a blank space in it.

After talking to her brother on the phone, Jia Yi felt that after his voice changed period, his voice gradually became magnetic, maybe when his brother really matured, the family would no longer need her to be so cautious and worried.

Thinking of her brother's voice, Jia Yi thought of Mark. It's been a long time since she's heard Mark's voice in person, especially after they added WeChat, and the communication between the two sides only stays at the level of short text, which is like building a thick wall, leaving no room for others to snoop or speculate on his private side.

Just when she clicked on Mark's chat box and looked through the few chat records with Mark in the past few days, she suddenly saw a line of words appear above the WeChat chat box: The other party is typing......

Her whole person seemed to be lifted up by some kind of force in an instant, and Mark was sending something to herself, such a coincidence?!

She lay on the bed and waited for the message to appear that day, and refreshed it several times, but it was still just: the other party was typing......

He always spoke succinctly, why did it take so long for a message to be sent?

Jia Yi had no resistance to the word in the WeChat box, she had never looked forward to seeing what the message was sent to her like at this moment, she would guess what the content was, and she would curse the annoying Internet speed.

Thinking about it again, will he delay in considering every word and figuring out every word?

Thinking of this, she was suddenly moved by her own persuasion. Just when she wanted to be content with this emotion, Mark's avatar suddenly jumped out of the dialog box, and a very short sentence: "So late, I don't know if you slept or not?" ”

is so neat, and there is no sincerity at all, which is really disappointing.

But she still wanted to reply quickly, and when she just typed "no", she suddenly felt that it was too blunt and direct to reply like this, and the most important thing was that her speed was too fast.

She deleted it and typed it again: "Ahaha, no, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, wouldn't that be too exaggerated, you're a head!" Jia Yi scolded herself secretly.

She deleted it again and typed "Well, no." ”

After much struggling, I finally pressed the send button.

Mark replied quickly, I don't know why this long sentence replied quickly: I heard that the store is progressing well, and some of the materials on my side have been almost prepared, and I want to put things in the store before the renovation is finished, what do you think?

When it comes to business, she didn't bother with it this time: "Well, of course you can, but because you repainted the wall, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you?" She also thought about the last time Mark came to the store and said about rhinitis, so she couldn't wait to express her concern and concern.

"I'll take care of it myself. See you tomorrow at 10 o'clock. ”

"Thank you for worrying about this at such a late hour."

"You're welcome. Good night that day. ”

Jia Yi didn't expect the conversation to end so soon, and his "good night" obviously made her unable to "be safe", especially when she thought that she was actually the one who ended the conversation.

She really didn't want to reply, she really couldn't think of anything to reply to that would make this chat not end so abruptly.

"He won't wait for his reply, hmph, just don't reply." She thought to herself, chagrined.

But if she is really so childish, then she can really be said to be a fool in the past few years of training in Beijing.

So, she pretended to write two words in this chat log: good night.

But I have to admit that no amount of training has made Jiayi's girl's heart fade much, it is such a night of WeChat chat, and the newly added chat records are enough for her to look at it several times, and she gritted her teeth and regretted the imperfection of the reply.

"It would be nice to reply like that......"

"It would be nice to talk to him about the renovation again......"
