With hope, life goes by faster. Unlike the previous busy day after day, the summer solstice began to pinch his hands and count the date.

On Saturday, she didn't need an alarm clock, so she got up early to clean up the house. She mopped the floor as clean as new, wiped the few pieces of furniture and clutter spotlessly, and even the wok, which came with the induction cooker, she turned over and brushed the bottom.

After that, she went out to buy groceries.

She is going to make a sauerkraut fish and a Dongpo meat, which Pan Rui likes to eat, she has long looked up the tutorial on the Internet, but because of the complicated process, she has never done it. Today can, because she has plenty of time.

On the phone last night, he said that he had booked a ticket for 8 o'clock in the morning, which was the earliest train, but he had to reverse halfway, and he returned to Bianxi, which would be between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock, just for dinner.

She spent about three hours fiddling with the fish and the lump of meat, until the dish was ready, covered with a saucer, and she hurried to take a shower, put on light makeup, and put on the red dress he had bought on the day he left.

She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and Pan Rui would also be happy to see her so radiant.

There was a timely knock on the door. He obviously had the key, but he deliberately knocked on the door.

She knew it was him, but she deliberately asked through the door, "Who?" ”

He pinched his throat and said, "Check the water meter." ”

She couldn't help but smile and said, "My water meter is downstairs." ”

"That's the one who collects the rent."

"The rent has already been transferred to the landlord."

"You must have transferred the wrong account, I didn't receive it."

She stealthily unscrewed the lock, and as soon as he finished speaking, she slammed the door open. He was prepared, too, and the moment the door opened, he opened his arms and threw his arms around her.

"Hmm...... It smells so good...... Where do you buy sauerkraut fish and Dongpo meat? Pan Rui moved his nose and said.

"Hell, I did." Xia Zhi stuck out his tongue, "I've tasted it, I can eat it." ”

Pan Rui put down his backpack, sat down at the dining table, and hurriedly raised his chopsticks and poked them twice on the table: "I don't mind if it's unpalatable, I don't choose to eat if I'm hungry, I've already put my chest on my back." ”

She gave him a blank look: "Virtuous, ungrateful fellow." ”

He stuffed a mouthful of fish meat and squeezed out a few words from his greasy smile: "It's okay!" ”

While eating, they discussed where to go in the afternoon, and finally decided to go to the MixC casually and come back in the evening to cook.

They had visited the MixC countless times, and almost never bought anything, and then Pan Rui was no longer interested in that shopping mall, and Xia Zhi also felt that it was boring. Less than a month after moving to Bianxi, the two no longer go to the Mixc.

However, after five days of separation, the mall, which is nothing special, has regained its charm.

They look at the colorful shops and think they look good, they look good at the children's recitals held in the atrium of the mall, and they think they look good when they sit on the stone benches in the mall square and watch the people passing by.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, what do you care, when two people are together, the sky is blue, and the clouds are white.

They strolled around until the evening, each holding a McDonald's two-dollar ice cream cone and going to the market to buy groceries together. This is also unprecedented.

Pan Rui said: "Let's eat simply at night, and I can still hold up at noon." I copied a movie, watched it together after eating, and rested early after watching it. ”

Xia Zhi heard another meaning in his words, and blushed unconsciously.

It was as if some secret vein had been penetrated in her body, and in the fusion of the two, she reached a realm that she had never experienced.

After a night of entanglement, they didn't go anywhere the next day, just chatting in the rented room, playing the guitar, as if they had done nothing, but they were full of satisfaction.

They are the same as before, they don't say anything, and every word is like a pebble, leaving countless ripples in the heart lake.

Time hadn't been pulled off a single feather, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time for Pan Rui to leave again.

On the bus to the station, Xia Zhi asked him about the results of Friday's interview.

"It's not clear, it's going to be announced next week."

There were no seats on the bus, Pan Rui raised his hand to grasp the handrail on the roof of the bus, and held her to his chest with the other hand, and their bodies swayed left and right with the movement of the bus. She almost couldn't help but say, "Then why rush back......

She replaced what she wanted to say with a sigh, and turned to the topic they didn't dare to say: "If you stay in your hometown, you won't come out again." ”

"Summer solstice." He called out to her, then stopped, as if pondering how to speak, for a full minute before he continued, "I think I'll probably buy a house in Thailand in the future." I mean, our house. A home that belongs to us. ”

"Huh?" She looked up at him, and didn't she say, "Where she is, he will make his home there?"

"I know." He seemed to hear what she was saying, and immediately continued, "The income of government contract workers will not be very high, even if I pass the assessment and get a formal career editor in the future, it is impossible for the income of Taicheng civil servants to afford to buy a house in Nanzhou."

"That's how I think, buy a house in Thailand, no matter where you work hard, you have a home behind you...... Of course, as we said, I will find you wherever you are. ”

Xia Zhi didn't hide her sigh this time, did he know what he was talking about? Settling down is for stability, so what is the meaning of home?

But she didn't expose it directly, mainly because she didn't want to leave unhappiness when the two were about to separate again, and this unhappiness would accompany her for five days, and she didn't want to.

She didn't say yes or bad, she just said, "Let's talk about it, don't say like you're already in the job." I don't know if you have an interview, and I'll be back in Nanzhou next week. ”

The certainty revealed in his words made her reassure him that probably, maybe, perhaps, the two of them were a foregone conclusion.

This time to send Pan Rui away, Xia Zhi has less hollowness in his heart. Coming out of the station, she went directly to the sixth middle school to find Xiao Yiqing.

After a week of uncomfortable, she wrapped herself up, and now she can finally tell Xiao Yiqing the news of Pan Rui's departure.

"He's back?" Xiao Yiqing raised her head from the language book spread out on the table, with a surprised expression, "Then did you break up?" ”

"Why did you break up? We're fine. Xia Zhi was lying on Xiao Yiqing's bed, playing with her big bear hair doll.

Xiao Yiqing's mouth moved, and she stopped talking, and finally she didn't vomit unhappily: "People in different places are all trying to run together, how can there be anything like you, they are all together, and they are still separated." I don't think you can let him do that, you spoil him too much, he's not a child. Either he comes back, you are together, he must go back, then break up. ”

Xia Zhi sat up, hugged the wool doll, and looked straight at Xiao Yiqing: "What if, is it because I am reluctant?" ”

Xiao Yiqing stared at her for a long time, and said hatefully: "Then you deserve to be eaten by him." Ning Jiao fights Mo Jiao divided, you and I didn't say anything. ”
