That year, summer.

Evergrande built a material warehouse.

Xu Jingru tried to wipe the warehouse counter hard, she had already wiped it many times, and she always took advantage of the free time when no one came to collect the materials.

After making sure she hadn't missed a single corner, she sat down at the registration desk and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Unconsciously opened the drawer again, and once again stroked the red admission letter with his slender fingers.

This is an admission letter from F University, a century-old famous school.

She blinked, trying to blink back the tears that were about to well-up in her eyes.

"Send the material!" There was a call at the door of the warehouse.

She quickly closed the acceptance letter, closed the drawer, and closed the door of the school she had not had the chance to enter.

"Hey, here we go!" She said yes crisply, and stood up.

-

At dinner, Xu Jingru deliberately didn't look at her mother's frowning brows, ate hard, and looked at the dishes on the small dining table seriously, a plate of fresh fried vegetables sandwiched with a few slices of semi-fat lean pork and a winter melon soup.

This is the best recipe their mother and daughter have had in years.

"Xiaoru, tell me the truth, did you pass the exam?" Mom asked again.

Xu Jingru smiled naturally, this was her expression after practicing for more than a month, and she once again replied affirmatively: "Mom, I'm off the list." ”

"Alas, then let's repeat it for a year, and I will definitely be able to pass the exam next year." Mom sighed lightly, "Haven't you always read books well, why did you fall off the list?" ”

Xu Jingru shook her head and tried her best to persuade her mother: "I don't want to repeat it, Mom, my current job is very good, the company pays pension insurance, and the benefits are also very good, I plan to keep doing it, and after a few years of study, there may not be such a good job opportunity." ”

Xu Jiayun looked at her daughter sadly, and secretly blamed her sick body for dragging her daughter down.

"I'm full." Xu Jingru flashed her eyes, got up and walked into the kitchen, and turned over the rice bowl, which was always empty quickly, "Mom, I'll go buy rice, and I'll wash the dishes when I come back later." ”

-

The material warehouse built by Evergrande is huge, and Xu Jingru is only responsible for one part of it.

The weather was very sunny on this day, Xu Jing, as usual, used her free time to clean inside and out, and just wrung out the rag and hung it on the shelf, when she heard a chord of footsteps at the door, she hurriedly walked to the door to check.

Seeing the supervisors with pens and work badges, she understood that it was time for the monthly inventory and warehouse inspections.

"This is a warehouse for decorative materials." Xu Jingru's direct supervisor led everyone into the door.

She laid out the material ledger on the table, silently stepped aside, and glanced quietly at the group of supervisors holding the notebook.

Qiu Feng was recording, the pen quickly swept over the page, and then, with a glance, he walked to the registration desk, opened one of the ledgers, and carefully read a few pages.

The font on the ledger is so fresh, and he remembers the accounts very clearly, he turned his eyes to the custodian who was standing quietly on the side, the girl in overalls, and saw him suddenly cast his gaze, his young and white face suddenly flew red, and his hands clutched the corners of his clothes crampedly, and lowered his gaze.

Qiu Feng couldn't help but glance at her more, she was a girl with clear eyebrows.

Qiu Feng retracted his gaze, picked up the ledger, and walked to the shelf.

This is a procedure for conducting spot checks on materials to check whether the accounts are consistent with the physical objects.

The other supervisors also took a ledger and burrowed into the shelves.

Xu Jingru exhaled quietly, her eyes followed Qiu Feng's back, and his glance just now frightened her soul to almost fly.

Behind the shelves, Qiu Feng checked the account book he checked, signed his name, and a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, the words on the account book were really fresh.

Evergrande Construction's inspection of materials and materials has been following a strange regulation, and the inventory is not done by material management, but by seven middle-level supervisors every month.

Closing the ledger with a snap, Qiu Feng raised his gaze, and inadvertently looked out through the gap in the shelves, he couldn't help but be stunned, he saw the young female warehouse keeper, her eyes were staring in his direction, her face was a wisp of tenderness, as if she was looking forward to it infinitely, and she had a warm look of admiration.

He has seen many such eyes.

He thought for two seconds, and suddenly flashed out from behind the shelf, the girl was frightened, her body shook slightly, and she quickly turned her gaze away, pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes flickered uneasily.

He walked to the registration desk with a cold expression, put the account book on the table, and asked lightly, "Is the report ready?" ”

"Uh...... It's done. Xu Jingru was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly presented the report placed in the corner of the table to him with both hands, but his eyes were lowered and he didn't dare to look at him.

Qiu Feng took the report, shifted his gaze from her face to the report, found the column he spot-checked, and signed his name on the back.

Raising his gaze, he glanced at Xu Jingru lightly, turned around and walked outside the warehouse door.

Xu Jingru breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the strong sense of oppression suddenly disappeared, so he dared to raise his eyes and saw Qiu Feng take out a cigarette from the pocket of his suit pants and take out a lighter.

Xu Jingru was slightly surprised, and hurriedly followed to the door, stopping him: "I'm sorry, Manager Qiu, you can't smoke here." ”

Qiu Feng looked at her in surprise, the girl who was still timid and cowardly just now, this sentence was crisp and decisive.

He looked at the words "No Fireworks" on the wall, put away his cigarette and lighter.

Xu Jingru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw that the other supervisors had finished checking and signed their names on the report, and then the report was taken away by the inspection team leader.

Standing in the doorway, looking at the gradually elected supervisors, her gaze fixed on the tallest figure among them.

Twisting the heart that she had been hiding for more than two months, she walked back and forth with her hands behind her back and her feet on the white forbidden line on the ground, waiting for the time to get off work.

.

Day after day, Xu Jingru is sometimes busy and sometimes idle.

Autumn came quietly, and heavy rains came without warning.

Xu Jingru was holding her chin, looking at the continuous rain curtain in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door of the warehouse, and a female voice screamed "ouch".

She quickly stood up and ran to the door in a few steps, it turned out that it was a noble-looking aunt who had fallen at the door of the warehouse, she quickly grabbed two steps and helped her up.

"Auntie, did you fall somewhere?" Xu Jingru pulled the aunt into the house to hide from the wind and rain.

"Thank you, girl." The aunt thanked her and patted the rain on her body, she looked like she was around fifty years old and had an elegant temperament, but now, her whole body was wet with the rain and she looked very embarrassed.

Xu Jingru hurriedly found a clean towel to wipe her hair.

The aunt looked at Jingru with a smile, took her hand and asked, "How old are you?" ”

Xu Jingru smiled slightly and said, "Nineteen years old." ”

The aunt sighed: "It's only nineteen, and it's still school age." ”

Xu Jingru's smile suddenly froze, took the towel from her aunt's hand, hung it on the shelf, and took down a floral umbrella from the tool rack and handed it over, "Auntie, now that the rain is lighter, you better go home and change your clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold." ”

The aunt took the umbrella, nodded gratefully, and said when she went out, "I'll bring you an umbrella another day." Jingru smiled and nodded, and watched the aunt walk out of the warehouse gate.

.

Xu Jingru, a humble worker, why does he always encounter rainy days?

It was another rainy afternoon, and Xu Jingru was wiping down the tools on the shelves in the warehouse and putting them in order.

Suddenly there was a muffled noise outside the door, and she walked quickly to the door with a rag in hand, and saw a man falling in the rain and struggling to get up.

She hurried over and took him by the arm, trying to lift him up, but he was heavy and looked like he was drunk.

She still tried to try, but the man did not resist, so she was half-helped into the warehouse and sat down on a hardwood sofa, which he could no longer sit on, and fell straight on.

Xu Jingru was startled, and quickly took a towel to wipe the rain off his face, and when she saw his face clearly, she suddenly froze, he was actually Qiu Feng!

Xu Jingru's heart suddenly pounded, and she didn't know what to do for a while. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses and remembered to check on him.

"Hey, are you alright?" She asked tentatively, and seeing that he did not respond, she timidly reached out and shook his shoulder, but there was still no response.

There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from him, and he seemed to be drunk.

She had to move his legs to the couch and take off his wet shoes, but luckily, the socks were not wet.

It took a great deal of effort for her to take off his wet coat and find a blanket to cover him, a little bit better, but better than wearing a wet coat, and now the weather is starting to get colder.

She sat down at the other end of the couch and looked at the rare man. His brow furrowed tightly, as if he had some kind of unsolvable distress.

When I walked to the door and looked, the project was stopped on a rainy day, and no one came to collect the materials.

She looked at the sky, and it was getting darker, and the rain was a little lighter, and the lights came on one after another, and the whole city became hazy.

Hiding the open door a little smaller to block the cold wind, Xu Jingru returned to the house, and she turned on a small lamp, letting the light shine softly on him.

Then he moved a stool and sat down by the door, quietly waiting for him to wake up.

"Mom, I'm going to work overtime, and I won't come back for dinner." She lied to her mother on the phone, suppressing a slight sense of guilt in her heart.

.

When Qiu Feng woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and for Jingru, it was never something that had never happened before if he didn't go home at this time.

Qiu Feng was unaware of time.

He stared at the person in front of him for a long time, unsure whether it was reality or a dream.

The girl was still wearing overalls, and her delicate face was looking at him uneasily with a pair of big eyes.

Xu Jingru couldn't be sure if he was sober or drunk, she tried to shake him, and he immediately sat up, the confusion in his eyes even thicker.

Xu Jingru was startled by him and quickly retracted his hand.

Qiu Feng looked around, barely propped himself up, felt that he had no strength at all, and asked with difficulty: "Is there water?" ”
