Chapter 15 Raising the National Flag

I always hope that after leaving, there can be traces of him in my life, otherwise I really wonder if he has ever come, and whether that memory is just a sweet dream dreamed back at midnight.

Since Lin Dong answered the phone, the whole person has fallen into irritability, and he has not recovered for several days, like a wandering spirit, walking in the streets and alleys of S City, and even going to the surrounding counties, but still nothing has been found, so he can only go back to Beijing first, and the company still needs him to preside over the overall situation.

Gu Xiaoyu has been lying at home for half a month, and her body has already recovered, but she is negative. Such a thing is a devastating blow to any woman.

Zhang Wenmin came to see her and brought her her favorite snacks, but she couldn't arouse her interest.

After school, Mengmeng ran to her bed, put her arms around her neck, patted her on the back comfortingly and said, "Mom, you have to get better quickly, I'm so worried about you."

Listening to her daughter's sensible words, her heart softened, and tears fell, she was so able to cry recently, she could cry out of a little thing, Zhang Wenmin said that it was because she was too sad in her heart.

The daughter used her little hand to wipe Gu Xiaoyu's tears, "Mom, why are you crying again?" Does it hurt somewhere? I'll just rub it for you, and when my stomach hurts, grandma will rub it."

"Mom doesn't hurt, Mengmeng is so good to her mother, I'm so touched" Gu Xiaoyu hugged her daughter, even so young she can be so sensible, what reason does she have not to cheer up.

She is such an adult, and she also makes her daughter worry about her, for her so-called love, she is too selfish, for the sake of her daughter, she also has to be strong, and she has found a reason to cheer up.

Maybe she won't have any more children in the future, Meng Meng is all she has.

Gu Xiaoyu's short hair was a little longer and messy, so she went to the barber shop to trim a hairstyle suitable for long hair, and she decided to fill him with green silk. After doing nail art and buying a few clothes, people finally got a little angry.

The renovation is nearing completion, I haven't been in the store for almost a month, and my dad is running back and forth every day to watch, and it's time for my dad to take a break. She is too unfilial, and she makes her parents worry about fatigue.

Gu Xiaoyu came to the store, saw that the wallpaper and the lights on the counter were not pressed, and asked the steward, saying that there were still two days left.

For a long time, Lin Dong has been in Beijing for a week and S City for a week, tossing and turning a little haggard, but he still has a strong spirit to make himself look clean and neat, because he doesn't know which time he may be able to find her, he has to be ready at all times.

Gu Xiaoyu began to purchase supplies in the store and order the plaque, she had already thought of the name, the winter cat, she wanted to use Lin Dong's east, but she felt that it was too obvious, it was better to use the winter winter, which was more suitable for her own state.

It took another week to complete the set-up. recruited and tried a few dessert chefs, and there was a big boy in Hong Kong, Ken, who was doing very well, but the salary he was expecting was a bit high, Gu Xiaoyu was entangled for a while, but decided to use him, after all, her shopkeeper made desserts, and she had to make money from this!

The drinkmaker is a local girl, Li Xiang, who once went to a technical school to learn, and has experience, and the most important person is also very beautiful. Gu Xiaoyu worked as a waitress and cashier herself, but at the beginning, funds were tight, and she put all her money on the store and couldn't hire extra staff.

看着以粉红色和白色为主色调的小店,精致的杯碟,心里有些激动有些期待,她决定‪这个星期天‬开业,在微博上,朋友圈里各种网站上开始大肆宣扬。 Acquaintances also helped her forward it, and said that she would definitely come to cheer. It's just that everyone said that her name was like a nightclub and not a dessert shop, and she didn't explain, just smiled. ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

On the day of the opening, it was a sunny day, the weather in early autumn, the autumn was crisp, which made people feel comfortable, Gu Xiaoyu wore a red dress and tutu skirt, with a small wave bob, and light makeup, looking very playful and cute. Friends came one after another, Zhang Wenmin gave her a big jade cabbage, saying that she would make a fortune, Gu Xiaoyu said that her gift was the most meaningful, really!

Her ex-husband Chen Shi also came and sent two flower baskets, and the two were relatively speechless. Set off firecrackers to cut the ribbon, lively and extraordinary. Meng Meng and her grandmother sat together, and didn't go to her father, because she had never been close to her father, and when she didn't get divorced, Chen Shi didn't take her much, and she played online games when she got home.

After everyone sat down, Gu Xiaoyu walked to the front desk and clapped her hands, and said, "Thank you very much, you can come to the venue in your busy schedule, everyone can order anything you want today, and the order is free, but help me give feedback after eating to see if it's delicious." Everyone knows each other well, and as soon as she finished speaking, she caused a boo, and someone shouted, "I said so generous, I wanted to be a guinea pig"

Gu Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and said to him, "Then you are also the happiest guinea pig."

Everyone began to order, and Ken and Li Xiang's busy feet did not touch the ground, Ken was better, after all, many desserts were made in advance, Li Xiang's drinks were not good, they all had to be freshly made, Gu Xiaoyu gave her a hand, and Zhang Wenmin helped her serve the plate.

In the end, everyone left their opinions, Gu Xiaoyu made a photo wall inside, you can paste the photos of eating in the store on it, couples can leave a souvenir, and single people can leave contact information, which has won unanimous praise from everyone.

After everyone left, Gu Xiaoyu and the three of them were tired and paralyzed, and there were not many people at 8 o'clock, so Gu Xiaoyu asked them to go home from work.

She locked the door and turned off the lights and went up to the second floor. When renting, it was two floors, upstairs she kept herself, separated a small room as a warehouse, the rest of the bedroom, living room and kitchen, all available, and also built a large balcony, a double sling chair, white velvet cushions, the whole nest in the nest is very comfortable, she wants to have time tomorrow to buy a cat.

So there is an extra black lazy kitten in her shop, there is a hanging nest at the door, and there is also one under the counter, but this little black cat likes to lie in the nest at the door all day and watch people come and go, and some people are startled when they see the black cat when they come, and touch her head when they leave. This cat is very individual, sometimes when someone she likes touches her head, she will squint and rub her eyes in the palm of someone's hand, meow, most of the time she tilts her head and ignores people. Gu Xiaoyu called her Dongdong, all of them were traces of longing.

Lin Dong has been back to Beijing for several days, and the company can't ignore it, he and so many people are waiting for him to earn money to support his family!

He is thinking about whether he can do business in S City, which will be much more convenient and have an excuse!

The days passed, the business in the store was tepid, and she didn't have much ambition anyway, she just wanted to be able to support their family.

Mengmeng came to live with her on weekends, and went to live at her grandmother's house when school started, Gu Xiaoyu's store was too far away from Mengmeng Kindergarten, and sometimes Gu Xiaoyu would go back to her mother's house for one night when she was not busy.

It's already winter in a blink of an eye, and just after the first snow, it is Gu Xiaoyu's birthday, so she gave herself a day off and asked Li Xiang to take care of the store.

Gu Xiaoyu took the high-speed train to Beijing the night before, and she wanted to celebrate her birthday in a place where Lin Dong was.

She didn't bring anything with her, and came to Beijing alone. I've traveled before, and I've been to many places, but this time she doesn't want to leave, she just wants to be in the same city with Lin Dong, just like Lin Dong spent her birthday with her.

When I arrived in Beijing, it was almost early in the morning, Gu Xiaoyu did not stay in a hotel, but came directly to Tian/An/Gate Square, there were few pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue in the middle of the night, and there were also several tourists waiting by the square to raise the national flag.

The early winter night was also very cold, even if she was wearing a heavy down jacket, it didn't take long for her to be soaked by the cold and shiver with cold. But her heart is warm, and she hasn't felt at ease for a long time.

Since separating from Lin Dong, things have happened one after another, and the weight of life has weighed down Gu Xiaoyu, but she has to support herself to fight hard, and finally have a little respite in this winter night.

Gu Xiaoyu counted the cars she had driven in front of her, and she looked at each one carefully, always hoping to see that familiar figure, but until dawn, she was going to freeze, and she didn't see it.

Maybe I miss him so much, on such a cold night, even if I can't see him, as long as I think of being in the same city with him, it makes Gu Xiaoyu feel very happy.

Lin Dong was indeed in Beijing that night, but he did not go out, but worked in the office until late at night. Every now and then, he would feel that he missed her very much, his heart ached, looking at their previous photos, his smile was still the same, and he didn't know when he would find her.

poured himself a glass of wine, slid into his mouth little by little, and the thoughts emanating from the bottom of his heart made him even more lonely.

In the early morning of winter, there is a thin layer of frost, and the red star and red flag slowly rise with the morning sun. When the national anthem played, with the loud "salute", everyone took off their hats and solemnly looked at the red flag and sang the national anthem, Gu Xiaoyu's heart was surging and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

After watching the national flag raising, she didn't go anywhere, walked along Chang'an Avenue for a while, took a taxi to the train station, and took the high-speed train back to S City.

In the evening, Zhang Wenmin booked a KTV private room and found a few friends to celebrate her birthday together. Zhang Wenmin heard about her feat of going to Beijing last night and said that she was willful, and Gu Xiaoyu also felt that she was very willful this time, but her heart was very happy.

Gu Xiaoyu's ex-husband Chen Shi also came, and he heard from one of them, so he also came with the cake.

Gu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when she saw him, but she didn't care much about it, because she was no longer an insignificant person.

Everyone had a good time, drank a lot of wine, and everyone wished her a happy birthday, but what she wanted to hear most was that person said, Happy Birthday, but she couldn't hear it.

Sure enough, loneliness is the carnival of one person, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

Others are not lonely Gu Xiaoyu doesn't know, she is very lonely in her own heart, drinking wine and watching other people's laughter, she seems to be completely out of their world.

Chen Shi sat down beside her and said, "Xiaoyu, how are you doing?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu replied, "Very good! The answer was unceremoniously, and Chen Shi also felt a little self-deprecating, so he chatted and drank with others.

When the game ended, everyone was drunk and staggered, and Chen Shi wanted to send Gu Xiaoyu back, but she refused, not wanting to add unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

Drunk, his emotions were infinitely amplified, and the tide of thoughts was about to torture Gu Xiaoyu to death, and when he returned to the store, he hugged Dongdong and nested under the front desk, crying silently.

Lin Dong is still in Beijing, there have been a lot of things in the company recently, and he can't leave, he doesn't know Gu Xiaoyu's birthday, but he also suffers from lovesickness alone.
