Chapter 33: Xia Xiaoxue

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Haoran came and brought us ice water and ice cream.

I don't know why, it's natural to chat alone with Hu Mingming, and I feel uncomfortable with a third person. I complained that Zhou Haoran asked him to hurry up and lift the cabinet, but Hu Mingming had to help, so the three of them dragged hard and moved the filing cabinet to the window.

When Mr. Wu went to work, he verbally praised us for our hard work in rearranging the office, but still asked us to move the information cabinet back. Hu Mingming gave full play to his expertise and said a lot of reasons, but they didn't work, so the three of them dragged the cabinet back again.

After tossing in white, the biggest change in the office is the lack of a pot of pothos on the windowsill, the sunlight spills in through the clean windowsill, and Hu Mingming stands out in the halo to look more conspicuous.......

When I was a little sleepy in the afternoon, I was confused on the table for a while, blowing the cool breeze in the air conditioner, and the pages of sad poems fluttered in my head. The ghost sent God, I actually sent a WeChat message to Hu Shanshan, more than a month, I still can't stand the torture of missing!

"Da Shanshan, I'm sorry!"

Hu Shanshan quickly replied: "I thought you were dead? ”

"It's pretty much it"

"What's wrong?" "You're talking to me again for no reason, it's not quite right" "Where are you now?" ”

"I'm in Shandong," I said.

"What are you doing in Shandong? See netizens again? ”

"Work!"

"Oh. I almost forgot you guys didn't have a summer vacation."

……

It's as if nothing happened, and everything is back to square one. Hu Shanshan didn't blame me, although I knew she might have hatred in her heart, but it probably didn't matter.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was strong, and Zhou Haoran asked me to accompany him out to get the express. The courier couldn't find the crystal palace that suddenly appeared, and parked the courier car in front of the fast food restaurant across the road.

When I got the heavy parcel, I was in a heavy mood and had a premonition that my rotten life was about to be doomed.

After getting off work at six o'clock, I didn't have anything to do when I returned to the dormitory, so I opened the package and admired the legendary quintessence.

When Zhang Pengpeng and Xu Hao came back in order, Zhou Haoran couldn't help but press them on the table, roll the dice to set the rules, and couldn't wait. For a while, the dwellings that had been silent for many years seemed to be lively, and the sound of mahjong rubbing continued until late at night.

My poker skills are terrible, but I learned it when I was a kid standing at a mahjong table. During the Chinese New Year, the adults in the family are keen on this activity, and I pour water for them, so that they can mix a few pocket money. Later, after standing in front of the mahjong table for a long time, it was contaminated with its rotten gas.

Zhou Haoran has a bad problem, he must hold a cigarette in his mouth when playing mahjong. Looking at the smoky dormitory, I seemed to have the illusion that I was back when I was serving tea and pouring water. At that time, I didn't understand anything, and the benefits of three yuan and two yuan could buy me.

When playing cards, time flies very fast. Seeing that time was wasted like this, only Zhang Pengpeng and I felt sorry. Different from Xu Hao's positivity, Zhang Pengpeng and I have a common point.

Nowadays, young people love to play with mobile phones, even if they play cards, they also play in their mobile phones, so Zhou Haoran completely overestimated the charm of this activity. In addition, our attitude is not positive enough, so we can't bring out the atmosphere of drunken gold fans! In the end, Zhou Haoran also realized that it was not very interesting, and the mahjong that came across half of China has been coldly placed on the table since then, precipitating with the years.

July 10 is another sunny day. Early in the morning, Yucheng was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and there was no cool breeze between the sleeves, which was dry and suffocating.

I sat in my office as usual, slapping my computer mechanically, transcribing all the inconsequential plans. Suddenly, Manager Wu shook out with a big belly, buckled Luo Qian's table, and asked her and Hu Mingming to go to the city to get the color book.

I don't know if Luo Qian is intentional or unintentional, even if she openly resists the decree and disrespects, she said a false excuse, and pressed the pick horizontally and on my shoulder.

Before I could hear what they were talking about, Manager Wu had already agreed, and the keychain jingle fell in front of my desk, and when I turned around, Manager Wu walked away with his big belly and sleeves, leaving only a smell of sweat, leisurely.

The public car of the unit was driven by Manager Wu from Feishi, and the performance is too old in all aspects, and it is already its creation to be able to get here.

Hu Mingming sat in the passenger seat, and I reminded her to fasten her seatbelt, but I regretted it after saying that. Ten minutes away, the tight curves under her uniform always inadvertently attract attention, making it impossible for me to concentrate anymore.

Yucheng City is not big, but it is prosperous everywhere, and the traffic is busy. The river runs through the city, and the parks and green spaces go hand in hand with the high-rise buildings......

I praised the construction pattern of the city in my heart, Hu Mingming looked around, and suddenly pointed to the park with the Ferris wheel spinning and let me see.

I glanced at it and said that the gardens in the world have different paths to the same end, what can be special? Isn't it just planting some trees, digging a ditch, and putting a few rocks to build a bridge? ……

Hu Mingming probably didn't expect me to be so negative, his face became hazy, he raised his eyebrows, didn't talk to me again, sat quietly next to me, and occasionally glanced at me sideways.

The manager of the printing company was very enthusiastic, and asked the workers to move the color books to the back box of the car, set up the tea set by themselves, and entertained us attentively.

Hu Mingming began to be restrained, and sat next to me in a standardized manner, always embarrassed to take the tea cup that others made in front of him.

I don't have so much reserve, although I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but it's natural to drink water when I'm thirsty, so I just take a sip.

The spring tea is sweet, mixed with a slow bitter fragrance, refreshing and sweet. It's just that the tea cup is too small, and I swallowed the dates like this and drank them all, and my throat was even dry.

After a few words of greeting, the workers had already finished loading, but just as they got up to say goodbye, Hu Mingming suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm.

This insignificant action may not be noticed by others, but it made me stunned and subconsciously glanced at her. Because of the situation, I kept my composure and didn't break free, so I let Hu Mingming be by my side, like a loving couple.

The way back was quieter, and it seemed that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Hu Mingming, who was bored, began to be restless again, said something clueless, and asked me if I liked to travel and play tennis. But no matter what she said, she was washed away by my coldness into a wisp of mist in the summer, and finally failed to build a ladder to climb.

Then Hu Mingming took a color album and looked at it. The dreamy brochure is full of sensational emotions and highlights the so-called happiness.

"No matter how far the journey is, there is always a warmth waiting in place, spring, summer, autumn and winter, frost and heat, accepting every moment of exhaustion and palpitations."

In a gentle song, this passage touches a certain heartstring that cannot be touched, faintly plucking up layers of ripples.

I glanced at the color album in Hu Mingming's hand and asked her who wrote it?

Most of the small brochures and leaflets are designed by ourselves, and there is no need to spend money on advertising companies for short-term promotion work. And as one of the few employees right now, almost every one of us is involved in this work. Although most of them are a brief introduction to the superiority of the beautifying property, a few sensational monologues can still play some finishing touches.

Hu Mingming looked at me, and a layer of grievance appeared on his handsome face.

"Little snow! The sentences written by Xiaoxue and Sister Lu were printed, and we all tossed in vain. ”

Hu Mingming closed the color album and was at a loss, as if his talent had been buried, and he had great grievances. After speaking, he asked me with great interest what I was writing.

In fact, I also wrote a sensational sentence, but it didn't have the deep meaning that Xia Xiaoxue wrote.

A person's life is like a journey without seeing the scenic spots, where is your warm existence, and where is the place to accept fatigue and sleepiness?

I guess that's why we have to find a home.

The color album is to attract the attention of passers-by with a clear paper, and then the heart moves at will, and the desire to buy a house is born. To put it bluntly, it is to encourage you to buy a house.

However, most of the color books will be silent in the trash, and some will be taken home by passers-by to paste the walls and pad the table.

It was half past ten o'clock when I returned to the company, Hu Mingming beckoned Zhang Pengpeng and another girl to come out and carry the booklet, and he ran across the road to buy me a bottle of ice water.

Under the scorching sun, I wrapped ice water around my neck, and I felt refreshed. At this time, I found that Zhang Pengpeng was not very happy, probably complaining that the days of distributing leaflets were long.

When he returned to the office, he knocked on Manager Wu's door frame and gave him the car keys. Then tidy up the desk and turn on the computer to take a look at the work that was left unfinished. At this time, Luo Qian poked my back with a ballpoint pen again, glanced at Hu Mingming who was bathed in the sun on the side, and made an inexplicable lip shape.

I just shook my head, pretending I didn't understand what she meant. Then he moved his chair forward, trying to get as far away from her as possible.

I don't know why, when I turned my head, my eyes stayed on Xia Xiaoxue in the corner of the office. For about ten seconds, I looked at her plain makeup and quiet appearance, and suddenly remembered the sentence: No matter how far the journey is, there is always a warmth waiting in place, spring, summer, autumn and winter, frost and heat, accepting every moment of exhaustion and palpitations.
