Chapter 47: Recharging
Kiyoko received a call from her mother saying that her father was sick and hospitalized, she immediately put down all the work in her hand and drove directly to the hospital, when she saw her father who was getting thinner and thinner in her sleep, she felt extremely uncomfortable, in her impression that her father was like a superman standing up to the sky, and now what appeared in front of her was just an ordinary middle-aged man, a little thin and a little haggard.
"How did Dad end up like this?" Kiyoko asked her mother.
"It's just that I'm overtired, and I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."
When Qingzi wanted to say something, the phone rang, she looked at it, it was Chen Xiaofei, she remembered that Chen Xiaofei had contacted her on the way to the hospital just now, but because she was in a hurry, she hung up the phone directly, and after coming to the hospital, she forgot to call him back. Just when Kiyoko was hesitating whether to call back or not, her mother said, "Go out and pick it up, don't disturb your father's rest." ”
Qingzi got up and left the ward to the door of the hospital lobby and pressed on: "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
"You've been avoiding me lately, so I'd like to talk to you, okay?"
"I'm not free right now......"
"Wait, where are you now? How do I hear a shouting sound? Are you in the hospital? ”
"My dad is sick."
"Seriously? Can I come and see him? ”
"No, let's get back to it."
Kiyoko hung up the phone and saw that her mother was already sitting there waiting for her, apparently her mother already knew who the person who called her was.
"Actually, your dad and I especially want to see you happy, but I also hope you can understand how difficult it is for us to be parents. I'm just a very ordinary woman, I don't have much ability to help your father, and I never ask him to give me anything, but your father is a man, he has suffered a lot for us, he can understand what kind of torture 'poverty' is for a person, he doesn't want you to go back to his path, then he will blame himself for the rest of his life. ”
"I'll go back and see Dad!" Kiyoko didn't know how to answer her mother's words all of a sudden, she didn't have the courage to face the truth of the facts, this was the first time she felt that life was not easy since she grew up, it turned out that her carefree all the way was carefully earned by her parents' careful efforts.
Kiyoko stayed in the hospital for a whole afternoon without seeing other relatives and friends come to visit her father, and she felt inexplicably ironic in her heart, whether everyone hoped that her father would fall, so that their "good days" would be completely over, and then they could laugh out loud. It turns out that the truth of human nature is so ugly, when you are proud of the spring breeze, everyone admires, and when you are unfavorable, you fall into the well.
Originally, Kiyoko wanted to stay but was driven back by her parents, and she was smiling in front of her father, but she was extremely sad in her heart. She remembered the words of Haruki on the tree: it turns out that people do not grow up slowly, but in an instant.
After Kiyoko returns home, Xingchen learns that her father is sick, and Xingchen asks Kiyoko to take a few days off and then boils chicken soup for her to send over. The strength of hugging each other in the face of difficulties is always harder and warmer than usual, and Kiyoko is also a lot relieved to see Xingchen's concerned appearance, it turns out that only good friends accompany her in the face of sadness.
Kiyoko received a call from Chen Xiaofei on her way home from work, and they hadn't seen each other for half a month since Kiyoko's father was sick and hospitalized. Chen Xiaofei's phone call made Qingzi suddenly realize that the distance between them was really much farther.
"I have a drinking party in the evening and need a female companion, I hope you can accompany me to attend, is this the last time?" Chen Xiaofei's attitude was very sincere, and Qingzi couldn't bear to refuse and agreed.
When Kiyoko got home, she carefully chose a dress that she thought was very suitable, and stood in front of the mirror to ask Xingchen's opinion again and again.
"It seems that you still attach great importance to Chen Xiaofei!" Xingchen couldn't help but tease.
"Since you promised people, you can't embarrass others!"
"Yes, but will you pass tonight and be even more unable to let go of Chen Xiaofei, can you really do this for the last time?"
"I don't know, but every time I think about my dad's illness, I feel conflicted."
"It's not easy for your father, if you have time, go back and see him more!"
The two girls fell into grief when they talked about this unpleasant topic, until Chen Xiaofei arrived.
Since it is to participate in the cocktail party, it is natural to dress up to attend, Xingchen watched the two of them match just right, they are simply golden boys and girls, but there are too many golden boys and girls in life who are helplessly separated, and some things become too perfect to be unexpected, maybe it is because of these lives that they become diverse!
After Kiyoko left, Xingchen was bored and surfed the Internet at home alone, and thought of Tian Ye, who had not been in touch for a long time, so he had a video call.
Xingchen told Tian Ye about his recent transfer, and although Tian Ye was also upset with her, it was more of a comfort. Recently, Tian Ye has been busy with his studies and work very hard, but fortunately, everything is still going well. When he learned that Xingchen's workplace was unsatisfactory, he encouraged her to use her spare time to pick up textbooks and learn more about her major, and only by becoming an irreplaceable member of the company could the position be rooted.
Xingchen listened to Tian Ye's well-intentioned words, and suddenly felt that Tian Ye had grown up and matured, and the boy who spent all day drinking and hanging on his children had grown up. She very much agrees with Tian Ye's words, only if she is strong enough can she take back what belongs to her with dignity, otherwise everything is just on paper.
After ending the call with Tian Ye, Xingchen immediately felt as excited as if she had been beaten, and she immediately checked the relevant information on the Internet to buy relevant books and read them. Now there is not much work in the administration department, she stays at the front desk more often, the work at the front desk is more relaxed and happy, the punctual commuting every day makes her feel like she is back to school, and the regular work and rest life makes her quickly make reasonable adjustments.
Suddenly, Xingchen had the enthusiasm and urge to take the college entrance examination.
Unconsciously Xingchen fell asleep in front of the computer, and when she subconsciously woke up, she habitually looked at Qingzi next to her, and found that Qingzi's bed was empty, and then looked at the time It was already two o'clock in the morning, it seemed that Qingzi stayed at Chen Xiaofei's house tonight.
This is not Kiyoko's first time, and she also takes it for granted, so Xingchen didn't think much about it.
Since I didn't sleep well last night, Xingchen slept late today and didn't get up until now.,Weekend time always makes people lazy.,Kiyoko isn't at home.,At noon, Xingchen simply called takeout to solve it.。
When Xingchen opened the door to get takeout, she happened to meet An Ran on the opposite side coming out of the house, she thought he was going out, so she just said hello and was about to close the door, but she didn't expect An Ran to see her eating fast food and pushed the door into her house.
"Why are you eating fast food, isn't Kiyoko at home?" An Ran asked.
"Well, you're going out?" Xingchen looked at An Ran with a briefcase in his hand.
"Yes! Why don't you eat fast food and go out with me, I just don't eat either. ”
"No, I don't want to go out, I want to study at home."
"Learning? Do you want to take an exam? Enron thought it was just an ordinary exam for the Administration Department.
"No, I just want to recharge myself, and I can't be called unprofessional by others."
An Ran could hear that Xingchen was still very concerned about this transfer.
"Okay, then you study hard. By the way, I have some information from my family that should be useful to you, and I'll show you when I get back. ”
Kiyoko didn't return home until the afternoon, while Xingchen was at home reading and studying. An Ran brought some books over at night, and Xingchen asked An Ran if he didn't understand something, Qingzi was bored watching TV next to her, but she still couldn't help complaining: "Xingchen, I think you are suitable to go to An Ran's house to study, you will feel guilty while reading books and watching TV at the same time." ”
After listening to this, An Ran said, "You are welcome to my house." ”
Xingchen originally wanted to go back to her room to read, but found that maybe she hadn't picked up so much homework for too long, and she couldn't understand a lot of new knowledge points, since there was such a professional teacher as An Ran, then she was not reserved.
When Qingzi was chatting with Ou Muyang, she inadvertently told Ou Muyang about Xingchen's learning from Enron. Although Ou Muyang didn't say anything at the time, he was very uncomfortable in his heart, the current Xingchen and Enron are "right at home", and they don't look up when they go out, and there will always be a day when Xingchen will have a long-term affection for Enron.
Xingchen was sorting out the information in the seat but was called by the manager, and it has been a while since he was transferred to the administrative department, and Xingchen's work is basically familiar with it, and the manager is usually good to her, but he didn't embarrass him in his attitude.
"Manager, is there anything wrong with me?" Xingchen asked.
"That's right, you have shared the work of the front desk in the administration department not long ago, and you also know that the front desk is busy now, so you can simply be responsible for the work of the front desk, which is the face of the whole company, and Mr. Huang attaches great importance to ......it."
When she heard the word "front desk", she had a strong feeling in her heart, that is, she was abandoned. Who doesn't know that the work of the front desk is the least important, pour tea and water every day and say "Hello!" Receiving and sending couriers to answer the phone, she didn't mean to look down on the front desk at all, but this time the "depreciation" was a bit far.
"Okay, I'll go back and pack my things now." This time, Xingchen didn't even have the strength to struggle.
In this way, Xingchen sat down at the front desk in full view of everyone, and then said "Hello" to the visiting customers with a smile! ”
When Kiyoko found out, she immediately called the front desk with the company's internal line: "Are you okay?" Why did you move you to the front desk? ”
Xingchen knew that the call was recorded, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "The air at the front desk is good, you work hard." He hung up the phone.
Kiyoko is a little baffled......
The front desk is really busy, and the busy stars seem to have forgotten their sorrows and put themselves into work.
It's nice to be busy, it's the truest feeling of the stars.
When An Ran came down from upstairs, she was very surprised to see Xingchen standing at the front desk at the door, and she bowed respectfully and said with a completely businesslike appearance: "Hello Manager An!" ”
"Why are you here?" As soon as An Ran finished speaking, Ou Muyang came out of the office.
"Enron, Mr. Huang has been waiting for us for a long time."
An Ran had to walk into the conference room without waiting for Xingchen's reply.
Although he didn't care, Xingchen's afterglow still saw Ou Muyang's face showing a smug gesture.
