Chapter 051: Reunion

Some people are naturally shy to express their feelings, even if the three words "I miss you" have to be divided into "I haven't seen you for a long time" to express it in a tortuous and subtle way.

—Epigraph

Snow fell at night, and by morning, the surrounding mountains were all white. The village chief, who had been cooking the bacon for several years, said that it snowed very early every year in this place, and this was the fourth heavy snowfall of the year.

Dong Xiaokui and others sat in the living room, looking out with charcoal, and some people in the village had spontaneously organized to clear the snow and clean up the mountain roads. But they are all old people, and some children.

The village chief also took a broom and shovel and said, "No way, this is the status quo." The labor force has gone to the bustling cities to earn money. Otherwise, there is no way to survive here. ”

Everyone was silent, and they didn't feel the previous fragrance when they ate the old bacon. Left-behind children and the elderly are the product of the shortening of urban and rural areas, and are increasingly becoming a serious problem in rural areas. I am afraid that all kinds of social problems will follow. Because children who lack parental love will have more or less an impact on their growth and psychology. Even if a child is sensible, he blames his parents to some extent.

This made Dong Xiaokui very emotional and remembered herself. She just lost her father, but the psychological anxiety and panic have been troubled for many years, and even now, it still has an impact on her character.

Therefore, she quickly found the entry point of the program this time, and spent a morning modifying the general process of the program she wrote before. Soon began to record the show.

Of course, this time, there were also the staff of Jincheng TV and Jincheng Daily, as well as the staff of the Red Cross. So the show always records and stops. It wasn't until late at night, and the recording was not completed.

The leader also came, saying don't worry, anyway, what is expected is a few days, take your time, do a good job in this show, the station attaches great importance to it.

Dong Xiaokui also knows that this show is a big move in the New Year. Otherwise, the television station, the daily newspaper and the Red Cross would not have come. It is said that the relevant leaders of the provinces and cities will also come tomorrow.

She nodded, and after dinner, she wrote by the window in the dim light. A few children lay out the window, watching her type in a notebook with wide, curious eyes.

Dong Xiaokui smiled at them, they were also embarrassed to laugh, and a few small ones squatted down and hid.

"We have it in our school, but it's bigger than that." One of the older girls said that her voice was crisp.

This little girl is more talkative, recorded the show in the afternoon, and talked to this little girl.

"Really?" Dong Xiaokui simply put down the work in his hand.

"Well, yes, only this year, a new school was built, and it's on the other side of the mountain." A boy next to him replied, turning his head to point to the invisible mountain in the night.

"That's good." Dong Xiaokui smiled.

"We haven't used it yet, though." The other girl's tone was a little lonely.

"Why?" Dong Xiaokui was very surprised. In recent years, the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the hardware facilities of basic education, and at the same time, it is also equipped with a lot of talents.

"The teacher is gone." Or the older girl from before answered.

Dong Xiaokui was silent, thinking that this place was too remote and too poor. How many people can use their youth to suffer, don't say who doesn't know how to dedicate and is not great enough. Even if you have a heart, your parents, family, lovers, and career, which one can break away from this mundane world.

She was silent for a while, and the big girl timidly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

She smiled at her and shook her head, and said, "It's okay, it's dark now, you go and rest, and we'll play together tomorrow." ”

"Okay." The girl replied, looked at her notebook again, and the group of children left.

Dong Xiaokui couldn't calm down for a long time, and added another item to the program recording process. Then, I continued to finish the manuscript that I had promised the Red Cross, and when I looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The nightlife in the mountains is not abundant, and it has long been quiet. There was no snow this night, but there was a half-moon moon, reflecting the snow, which looked particularly deserted.

She wrapped her coat, and then remembered that today was Xu Er's engagement day, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, and she couldn't see the round moon, so she reached out and closed the window and lay on the bed. Maybe it was because she was too tired, maybe it was because she didn't sleep all night last night, maybe because she was sad, she ignored the snoring of her colleagues one after another and fell asleep.

The next day, it was still a situation of half-day leisure and half-day work. Because of her impromptu suggestion, the radio decided to go to the school to have a look. People from TV stations and daily newspapers also decided to check it out. So I went to the school again, and a few staff members also went to help with a few computer lessons, and the children were very enthusiastic, and the old principal was very grateful.

By the third day, the show had already been recorded. But because of the heavy snow, there was some problems along the way, and the leader did not come, and the program team could not go back. So I had to stay a few more days.

Dong Xiaokui called Qin Min and said that he would take a few days off. Qin Min didn't say much, just said, "Call me as soon as you come back, Mr. Lin wants to see you." ”

"Which Mr. Lin?" Dong Xiaokui asked. Because Lin Yunfan, the boss of the Yunfan Industrial Chain, and his wife are both surnamed Lin, Pingsuri, everyone calls his wife and Mr. Lin.

"Of course it's the man." Qin Min replied.

"Huh? See me? Do you know what's going on? Dong Xiaokui immediately asked.

"It's not clear. It's just that Mr. Lin came back and said that he was looking for you. I can't call you either. He said that as soon as you appeared, he would let you go and see him. Qin Min said.

Dong Xiaokui heard that this situation was a little wrong. Even if she does well in Yunfan, there is no reason for the boss to find her in person. There was some muttering in his heart, but here he said to Qin Min lightly: "I'll come back as soon as possible." ”

"You'd better hurry, Mr. Lin seems to be in a hurry." Qin Min emphasized.

"yes, I know." Dong Xiaokui replied, hung up the phone, always a little uneasy, and was very anxious, and made several mistakes during the recording of the show, which made the leaders care about whether she was sick.

In the anxious waiting, another day passed. Fortunately, the weather cleared, the relevant leaders of the provinces and cities also came, routinely made some donations and condolences, and the media reports here finally came to an end, and even the leaders of the radio station counterparts were also relieved.

In the afternoon of that day, the media followed the convoy of provincial and municipal leaders back to the city. Due to the poor road conditions, the car has been slow. So, back in the city, it was already night. And because the radio station has to broadcast this program before New Year's Day. Dong Xiaokui and several colleagues carefully sorted out the information on the radio station and edited it.

After finishing these trivial things, it was already midnight. Some of the later work is also left for tomorrow. It's just that Dong Xiaokui still has her own program to deal with, and she doesn't feel sleepy when she thinks about it, and she is also lonely when she goes home. So, I simply worked overtime at the radio station.

I was almost ready to record my show, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning. She wrapped her coat tightly, carried a backpack and dragged a suitcase out of the radio station building, and stood by the platform to take a taxi.

The rainy weather in Jincheng has finally passed, but the cold is still as cold as ever, and the city is like a silent carnival, exceptionally quiet, only neon lights flashing.

She took a taxi back, and the uncle who guarded the door of the community was very unhappy, and charged 30 yuan for opening the door. She also apologized to him vigorously, after all, it is very immoral to disturb people's dreams, especially in such a cold day.

When she got home, she put water in the bath. A few days in the mountains of Aba Prefecture is actually a luxury. It's good to be able to wipe it off.

She lay in the bathtub and played low music, which was the guzheng version of "The Imperial Flower". She's always loved it, and she also used it as background music for her blog. Of course, I like that story more, under the smoke of troubled times, people who love each other always love each other and firmly believe that they can be together. There may not be the happiness of Princess Changping in history, but there is always something in the legend.

He's been engaged for a few days. As a friend, shouldn't you politely call and ask about the date of the engagement reception?

The idea was only a flash of thought. Because Dong Xiaokui hopes that Xu Er will not come to her from now on. Let her slowly calm down until time fills in this gap and allows her to fly freely and live her own life.

She lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed for a while, until she felt the water cold, then got up and washed up and prepared for bed.

Before going to bed, take care of your email as usual. She took a glass of hot water and clicked on the mailbox. Six new messages were found.

Five of them were sent by Qiushui Changge. Dong Xiaokui was very puzzled: This guy has always cherished his words, rarely writes emails, and seems to have been very busy recently. Isn't there something big about him writing so many emails?

Dong Xiaokui opened up one by one, and he didn't see Qiushui Changge say anything important. It's just that every letter asks her what she's been up to in the last few days, and I don't see her playing games to hang out.

Although the language is very homely, and there is his usual ridicule. But Dong Xiaokui actually felt a slight anxiety in this tone from between the lines.

It's been a long time since I've replied, and this guy is also very emotional and thinks too much. Dong Xiaokui guessed, so he politely replied to a brief email, saying that at the end of the year, the company had a lot of things to do, so there was no time, and when the New Year came, he would pick up a day to go to the game together to go to the carnival.

OF COURSE, THE OTHER LETTER IN THE E-MAIL ADDRESS WAS FROM VIVIAN, WHO HAD NOT BEEN HEARD FROM FOR A LONG TIME. Because the first letter written by VIVIAN was "Zhonglin", Dong Xiaokui always thought that this person was quite upright, and directly said that he was related to Xu Er.

Those few correspondences were just nine twists and turns about some feelings and outlook on life, and you went back and forth, openly and secretly. Yes, Dong Xiaokui does not think it is-for-tat, at best it can only be counted as an argument.

OF COURSE, VIVIAN'S ARGUMENT WITH HER NEVER MENTIONED A SINGLE WORD ABOUT XU ER. There is no word that says that Xiaokui is related to Xu Er, and naturally she has nothing to do with Xu Er.

In late September, she suddenly did not communicate with Dong Xiaokui. It was like a meteor suddenly disappearing from Dong Xiaokui's life. But now, here it is again.

Dong Xiaokui clicked on the email and saw that there was only one paragraph, but he was not polite at all and did not hide it at all. In the email, she wrote:

Miss Dong:

History proves that the environment of two people is too different, even if they are together, there will be no good results. You know the difference between Zhonglin and you. He is not something that any woman can control, and his family is not something that ordinary women like you can handle. The house of the powerful, gestures, words and deeds. Do you know what that means? Also, I advise you not to do anything that would cost your future or your life. I distinctly remember you writing back to you saying that you wouldn't fight for something that doesn't belong to you. I hope that Your Excellency will think twice before doing things, and don't be carried away by the momentary literary and artistic nature.

VIVIAN

The letter had been sent three days earlier, and although there was no substantive account of the events, her warning was a straightforward reference to Xu Er, and she referred to marriage.

Maybe his past guesses are correct, this woman is the one who has a marriage relationship with Xu Er. However, judging from this letter, what happened to Xu Er?

Dong Xiaokui's hand holding the mouse couldn't help but tremble. To be honest, she didn't want his engagement to be a demon moth. Because she felt tired and didn't want to get entangled with this plague god.

Therefore, she only wrote one line in the email: I can only regret your impoliteness, and I am not something that anyone can teach me a lesson.

I clicked send, turned off the computer and went to sleep. Set the alarm clock before going to bed, and then I remembered that the phone ran out of battery last night. So charge and turn on. As soon as the phone was turned on, there were many text messages from Xu Er. At first, he was asking "Dong Xiaokui, where are you", but later it became "Dong Xiaokui, where did you die"........

Dong Xiaokui counted, and there were a total of forty text messages sent since four days ago. This guy probably hasn't been texting people so much in the past year. Of course, there are also some text messages from the mobile secretary desk, informing her that "when did so-and-so call you".

The most recent one was sent by Xu Er an hour ago with an unfamiliar number, and this number is displayed in Jincheng. He said: Dong Xiaokui, where is the death, get out and see me.

Dong Xiaokui was stunned, this guy is in Jincheng? Is he really crazy? So, she dialed the number, and when it rang, Xu Er picked it up and said, "Willing to turn it on?" ”

"I was so busy with work that I forgot to recharge." Dong Xiaokui replied calmly. She heard Xu Er's voice a little anxious, but it was not angry.

"Come out, I'm at the entrance of the alley in your neighborhood." He said, his tone instantly returning to his previous calm.

This person is really in Jincheng, and combined with VIVIAN's letter, this person is afraid that his engagement will be caused by some kind of demon moth. However, these are none of her business, and she will not be smart enough to ask him. So, she asked in surprise: "You came to Jincheng on a business trip?" ”

He didn't answer her, but said, "Come out quickly." ”

"It's too late, I have to go to work tomorrow, besides, I'm already in bed." Dong Xiaokui refused. She's not reserved, and she's not trying to get away with it. Because she couldn't figure out the situation at all now, although she was vaguely aware that his engagement had come out of the demon moth.

"Are you going to let me come to your bed and get you? You know your neighborhood, it's easy for me to get in. Xu Er's threatening words were said slowly.

"You're not afraid of getting caught. Damage your little reputation. Dong Xiaokui sneered. In fact, she also knew that it was strange that the few security guards in the community who looked like decorations could catch him.

"Come on, you know very well whether I'm going to catch it. Besides, even if you get caught. I'll just say it's your man, and I'm not the only one who is disgraced. Xu Er chuckled and threatened.

"I'll die and won't admit it." Dong Xiaokui is never willing to fall behind.

"Think about the first time we met, do you think you won?" Xu Er kindly reminded.

Dong Xiaokui suddenly remembered the first time she grabbed a taxi with him, and his acting skills made her speechless. This man reacts quickly, his acting skills are good, and it is better to be less troublesome. Besides, it's a comfortable place to live, and she doesn't want to be evicted by the old landlord. So, I still compromised, who knows that I haven't promised him yet. But he said, "Come out quickly, you're going to freeze me to death." It was so cold that my bones hurt. ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, her heart was inexplicably soft. This guy has a lot of injuries on his body, and it hurts when the weather changes suddenly, let alone such a cold season.

After all, she felt sorry for him and said, "You wait, I'll come." ”

"Hmm." Xu Er replied, the voice was a little satisfied, Dong Xiaokui didn't pay attention to it, hung up the phone, and changed his clothes and went out.

As soon as I pushed the door open, it was naturally cold. I didn't expect that in just one or two hours, the temperature outside dropped so much, and the weather in Jincheng this year was really strange. Dong Xiaokui went back to the house and put on a hat, a scarf, gloves, and went out with a charged mobile phone.

disturbed the old man's dream, and under his angry gaze, there was an extra thirty yuan for opening the door. As soon as Dong Xiaokui walked to the alley, he saw someone smoking in the shadow of the street tree, and the cigarette butt flickered on and off.

Although the person only had a vague silhouette, Dong Xiaokui recognized it as Xu Er at a glance. As soon as she saw his figure, her nose was sore, her eyes were suddenly moist, and she couldn't stand still and couldn't walk, just looked at him like that.

Xu Er walked over, it was just a jacket, and there was a sweater in it, and he was wearing such a thin dress on such a cold day. Dong Xiaokui was distressed in his heart.

Xu Er extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can on the side, stood in front of her, smiled unconsciously, and said, "Look at you, wrapped like a ball." ”

Dong Xiaokui looked at his face and was very nervous. After a long time, he retorted: "What kind of weather is this?" Are you still living at the equator all year round? Dressed so thinly. Don't you know how to wait in the car? ”

She said, with some reproachful tones and more distress. She remembered the pain he felt when the weather changed suddenly, and although he endured it, she could feel it clearly. However, Dong Xiaokui only felt that when he said this, he was very flustered, only the white breath he exhaled flickered in the yellow street lamp, which was extremely clear.

"They said you're back, and I was going to go to the radio station to find you. But I've been busy. I came to you after this discussion, and I didn't have time to change my clothes. Unexpectedly, you didn't turn on your phone. If you don't open it again, I'll really enter the house. He stood in front of her, speaking so calmly.

Dong Xiaokui was suddenly very depressed, she wanted to grab Xu Er's collar, beat his chest like a shrew, and asked, "Why are you doing this to disturb my pace and disturb my mood." Why don't you let me forget you? ”

However, there was nothing between them, and they were not qualified to say such frank words. Besides, Dong Xiaokui has always been a calm person. So, those anxieties were suppressed in her heart, and she calmly asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

This question made Xu Er's face sink, and he instantly regained his calm. He said: "I have been in Jincheng for several days. ”

The subtext of this sentence is actually that he didn't go to the engagement at all. Dong Xiaokui just pretended not to understand, and said lightly: "Oh, I've been busy with a program to care for left-behind children in Aba Prefecture for the past few days. ”

"I didn't know at first, but then I knew." Xu Er said, his tone was very calm. But Dong Xiaokui knew what kind of anxiety and anger were contained in the tone of the text messages in the first three days. She couldn't help but glance at Xu Er, but found that he was looking at her very intently, his eyes were like a deep blue sea, which made her have an instant panic of drowning.

Dong Xiaokui's heart was disturbed, so she had to avoid his sight and look at the billboard of the shampoo shop on the street flashing one after another. She tried her best to stabilize her heart, adjusted her tone to the calmest, and said, "Just say what you want, this weather is strangely cold, your hurtful ——,, besides, I have to go to work tomorrow, and the night is late." ”

This is the eviction order, and it is also a sentence that Dong Xiaokui will distance themselves from each other. When Xu Er heard this, he grabbed her wrist and said in a short and low voice: "Follow me." Then without saying a word, he pulled her to his car.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, what's the matter, you just say it." Dong Xiaokui resisted almost instinctively, wanting to break free from his confinement.

His hands tightened, his face sank, and his eyes stared at her. Dong Xiaokui felt a chilling feeling, and instinctively wanted to retreat, but she finally stabilized her figure and stood there straight.

"Come with me, I haven't seen you in a long time." His tone softened, whispering in her ear, whispering like this in the cold air at the turn of this long empty street.

After all, he is a man who can't express his emotions directly, and at this moment, he is ashamed to say "I miss you", but he expresses it in such a tortuous way.

Her nose was sour and she wanted to cry, so she tried her best to purse her lips and not blink, just looked at him like that, for fear that in the blink of an eye, she would cry in front of him.

He pulled her and hugged her and went to the car. She smelled the familiarity and wanted to ask him "where to go", but she didn't ask. Before, it was hard to erect the determination to want the Chu River Han Realm, and it was easily disintegrated.

In such a cold night, Xu Er threw Dong Xiaokui into the car, still fastened his seat belt for her very gentlemanly, drove the car all the way out of the city, turned onto the Chengguan Expressway, and went all the way to Qingcheng.

The night was vast, not sunny, but a light rain fell, and under the reflection of the car lights, I saw the silent rain flying and falling. The mountains and fields of the four fields are not distinguishable at all. It's just that every once in a while, there will be street lights shining through the car windows, and the yellow light will shine on his face. He pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on the straight ahead as he usually drove a car. He was the most serious driver she'd ever seen.

There was no music playing in the car as usual, so it was frighteningly quiet. She leaned back in her chair and leaned slightly to watch his face flicker in the light of the streetlights. ......
