On Christmas Eve 2018, the sky of Pujiang City was filled with rare snow spots. The peace of mind who just got off the plane, at the moment when she walked out of the arrival hall, subconsciously looked up at the sky with lead clouds hanging low, it seems that this snow idea can't be stopped for a while, and the little assistant who was supposed to come to the airport to pick her up sent a WeChat message to her half an hour ago - she was floating in the sky at the time, and she opened her mobile phone after the plane landed - the little girl suffered a traffic accident on the highway to the airport, and the vehicle she was driving and other vehicles were scratched, and now the person was detained at the scene, and it was impossible to get there for a while.

An Xin took out her mobile phone and dialed the assistant's number, she needed to figure out if she still had to wait in order to determine the next course of action.

"Where are you?" After the phone was connected, An Xin immediately asked.

"Sister, I just finished dealing with a traffic accident." The little assistant said with a sad face, "However, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick you up." ”

"What's wrong? Are you hurt? ”

The heart of peace of mind suddenly hangs. The assistant didn't mention her injury in WeChat, and the peace of mind was that the vehicle had a slight collision when changing lanes, and it was not a serious traffic accident.

"No, I'm fine, it's just a little knock, and it's out of the way."

The heart that was relieved was put down. However, the little assistant's next sentence instantly lifted the heart she had just put down.

"However, the car didn't go, and I just called a towing company to tow it."

"What a big traffic accident did you cause?" An An couldn't help but complain.

"Actually, it's not very big, it's just a small touch." The little assistant said weakly.

"A little bump can make the car lie on its stomach?" Anxin couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he was still worried about the safety of the little assistant, "Do you want it or not?" Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up? ”

"I'm fine, I'm really fine." The assistant shook his head into a rattle, and his tone firmly rejected Anxin's kindness.

"If you're hurt, don't hide it from me! The consequences of cheating your boss can be severe. An Xin frightened, "Be careful that I don't apply for work-related injury insurance for you." ”

"Sister, I'm really fine." Seeing that his boss cared about his body, instead of asking about the damage to the car, the assistant was a little moved, and he was so excited that he couldn't say anything, "It's just that the car is going to be sent to the repair shop in a hurry, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick you up at the airport." ”

"As long as you're okay, I can take a taxi back by myself." He replied with peace of mind.

"Okay, sister, I won't tell you more, the trailer will arrive in a while."

"Wait, don't hang up yet." The assistant hung up the phone and was stopped by Anxin, "The car was towed away, so how do you go back?" ”

"How else can I go back! Of course, it went with the trailer. The little assistant said pitifully.

"If it's not convenient to sit in a tow truck, you can call a car! I'll reimburse you for the fare. ”

One sentence moved the little assistant to tears.

"Sister, you are too good to me. I crashed my car, and you didn't care about the repair fee for me, and now you're still trying to reimburse me for the fare. Whining...... Sister, I love you. ”

"You reminded me that the cost of repairing the car will be deducted from your salary." With a playful tone, An Xin threw out such a sentence indifferently.

"Sister......

The little assistant's aggrieved wail suddenly came from the earpiece.

"Don't howl, remember to call me when you get home to report that you're safe." An An forcibly held back a smile and continued to say in a cold tone.

"Oh......" The little assistant snorted, agreed obediently, and then said, "Sister, can the repair fee be discussed again." You see, my monthly salary is only a small amount, and if I use my salary to repair cars, I am afraid that I will have to drink the northwest wind for many months. If I am starved to death, not only will you have to fight a lawsuit that cares about people's lives, but you may also be labeled as a vicious boss, who will dare to work for you in the future? The most important thing is, if I die, who will saddle the horse for you in the future? Are you really willing to do it? ”

Anxin almost turned her back on her anger after listening to it, now the girl is really getting more and more lawless, and she dares to bargain with the boss. She held her forehead with one hand and said with a smile: "What did you do to my car?" Do you need to use a few months' salary to fix it? Or are you reminding me in disguise that you need a raise? ”

The little assistant replied with a hippie smile: "It would be great if your old man's conscience found out that he would give me a salary increase." ”

"It depends on how you do in your last month."

In other words, if you perform well in the last month of the year, you can raise your salary in the following year. The little assistant obviously understood the sound of the reassuring words, and danced happily.

"What about the repair costs?" After the excitement was over, the little assistant didn't forget about the repair cost, and asked timidly.

"Well, if you get a raise, the repair fee will be deducted from your salary as usual, but you shouldn't be hungry for months, right? I don't have to worry about getting into a lawsuit that takes people's lives, and I don't have to worry about becoming a vicious boss in the eyes of my employees. Most importantly, I don't have to worry about saddle up without you. With peace of mind, he returned all the words of the assistant before him intact.

"Sister......" The little assistant really wanted to cry without tears this time.

"Don't howl, look at how you do in the next month." After all, Anxin couldn't bear it, so he let the little assistant go.

When the little assistant heard that there was still room to turn around, the expression on his face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely saddle the horse before and after, and obey my orders." ”

Hanging up the phone with the assistant, Anxin thought about what to do next, and walked towards the taxi waiting point. A cold wind blew, and An An immediately wrapped the only thick coat on his body, a knee-length camel-colored cashmere coat, compared to the heavy down jackets on the surrounding pedestrians, An Xin was really thin. She stayed in France for nearly a month this time, and when she went, it was still autumn, and she never thought that when she returned to Pujiang, it was already full of frost. Anxin dragged his bulky suitcase with one hand and tugged at the placket of his coat with the other, trying to tighten his neck to ward off the oncoming wind. As she walked all the way, her shoulder-length hair fluttered messily behind her head, but she didn't care about her own appearance anymore.

Anxin relied on his integrity to endure the difficult twenty minutes, and finally got into the taxi. After relieving himself in the warm heat of the taxi for a full ten seconds, peace of mind can be regarded as regaining his soul.

The driver looked at her in the rearview mirror, politely asked her where she was going, and Anxin informed the driver of the answer that he had already thought about.

Forty minutes later, Anxin got off at the intersection of Pujiang Road and Hongxia Road. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the snow in the sky had stopped, but the weather was still gloomy.

After flying for more than ten hours, An Xin felt a little hungry. Although meals are also served on the plane, she eats tasteless in her mouth. She grew up eating food from her own restaurant, and her stomach has long been spoiled. However, now the only way to get another bite of the "three full fasts" meal is to go to the well-known hotels or resorts of the Ann Group.

Anxin looked around at his surroundings. Hongxia Road, the road she was used to before graduating from high school, has also changed a lot in the past ten years. The original narrow street has been widened by about ten meters on each side, and the original two-way two-lane small road has been changed to a two-way four-lane road. In the early years, the humble shops that opened on both sides of the street have been replaced by small shops with modern decorations and different characteristics.

Anxin did not stay long at the intersection, and with the memory in his mind, he firmly took steps in one direction. As he walked, he looked around, trying to find a trace of his childhood memories in an unfamiliar shop.

Sure enough, it's still there!

Peace of mind stops at the door of a soup dumpling restaurant. Although there is a stylish sign hanging at the entrance of the store, although the storefront is twice as large as before, and although the decoration of the store has been renewed, the four words "Shengji Soup Dumpling" that have never changed are enough to make people sigh. In this era of rapid change, it is rare for a small shop to stick to one place for more than 20 years. Anxin didn't walk into the store immediately, but stood at the door of the store despite the cold, stretched out and took a deep breath, greedily inhaling the smell of the air. The greasy smell wafting from the shop is the same as the four words on the sign. This is Anxin's favorite, mixed with the smell of oil smoke and meaty food, and it is also the most familiar human fireworks in her memory.
