Chapter 80: A Leaf Knows Autumn
Yuan Yuxiao thought that Yu Xiaolu would ask if it looked good or not, and then the topic went down here, but after she didn't think about it, she smiled and said, "Did you bring something?" ”
He was not used to this kind of straightforward topic without foreshadowing, so he couldn't help but answer in a little panic, "Bring ...... Bring! ”
Yu Xiaolu lifted up a large plastic bag placed under the table, "This is yours!" ”
He silently pushed the plastic bag on the table over. They were officially handed over and returned to each other's childhood.
"Do I have so many things?" Still grinning, she went to look through the plastic bag. He was motionless and in a daze. After a while, she pulled out the book with the stamps and shook it on the table, shaking out a pile of stamps. "Are you still collecting stamps?"
"There is no special collection, if there is one, it will be collected."
"Then I'll take this book back, you can keep the stamps, I'm useless anyway."
"That'...... Are you still collecting candy wrappers? ”
Yu Xiaolu sneered, "You're going to exchange courtesies again?" How could I still do that little kid's business! ”
Yuan Yuxiao was a little embarrassed, silently lowered her head, and looked at the pile of things that Yu Xiaolu returned, and the smell of memory filled the table.
It is also a large stack of villain books "My Grandfather and I Learn to Fight Tigers", "The Sound of the Revolution", "The Secret of Melon Seedlings", "Drawing No. 305", "Angry Tide of Fishing Island", ...... There are also children's literature "The Tiger Rings the Bell", "Open Your Eyes Wide", "The Noisy Forest", "Little Mountain Eagle", several sketches he painted, which he made with his own hands on cardboard, the clown who kicks his legs as soon as he pulls the thread, a small stone slab with a wooden frame - there is even a half-cut stone pen, and a commemorative postcard of Shaoshan......
She actually keeps these things very well. He also wanted this because they were so similar.
What will happen in the future? He subconsciously said something more: "Will you continue to keep these things?" ”
"It depends, it may be disposed of, the drawers and cabinets that I can put things in now are full, and it doesn't make much sense to keep them." Yu Xiaolu was still smiling, and her voice was very soft, Yuan Yuxiao had never seen her like this, but these few words made him feel a little cold, colder than the iced coffee in front of him. He lowered his head, feeling that he was asking a little retarded.
"Okay, it's not early, I'm leaving, I have to go to work tomorrow. Good bye. Thank you for the iced coffee. Yu Xiaolu smiled softly and said goodbye. Yuan Yuxiao lowered her head and said goodbye, and did not get up. He waited for Yu Xiaolu to turn his head.
When she turned away, his tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
In the days when she left him, he was only a little sad in his heart, even if he was drunk, not a drop of wine turned into tears. And tonight's sentence "It doesn't make much sense to keep these" somehow made him feel very uncomfortable and painful.
He would definitely keep his bag forever.
Even if it is always an unreliable concept, at least at the moment, he clearly knows the truth and weight of his determination. And they were so similar that he thought she should do the same.
But her answer was "dispose of"......
Is this a truth? Or is it a gamble?
But whatever it is, it must be an attitude of resoluteness towards the past......
At that moment, he felt that what he had lost was not only her as a lover, but also her as a friend, and even a familiar her. Tonight, she made him strange, so strange that it seemed that the two of them had never known each other before.
On the way home, he felt that the bag in his hand was very heavy, and he just wanted to get home quickly and open it to take a closer look. But when he got home and put the bag on the table, he suddenly didn't have the courage to open it. The other party doesn't care so much about this childhood memory, isn't it ridiculous that he still keeps it? But if you bet on this breath and throw it away, you are really reluctant!
He didn't have the mood to go to his parents' room to watch TV, and went to bed after a night of stinting over the bag. But I didn't lose sleep and fell asleep quickly. But I had a night of chaotic dreams, one moment I dreamed that Yu Xiaolu wrote an application under the "compulsion" of Yu Xiaolu, and the squadron leader Mo Qing personally brought him a red scarf, and then I dreamed that a girl walked down from the almanac painting and rowed a boat with him to a desert island, there were only two people in the world, he and her, and the house on the island was built by countless villain books......
The next day he woke up later than usual, and when he hurried to the store, he forgot to bring a book. As a result, I could only sit there in a daze with nothing to do. In fact, he also knows that he will be like this with or without books, and his current emptiness cannot be filled with even the best books.
Fortunately, it opened today, and after more than an hour of posting, Master Wen finally sent him a code.
By the time he left work at noon, he had made a written record and received five hundred yuan in taxes.
Such days have passed over and over for a month, this month Yuan Yuxiao in addition to going to the warehouse during the day to be in a daze and collect taxes, is to drink two catties of bulk beer at the brothers' snack bar at noon every day, and watch all kinds of TV programs that he likes and dislikes at night. Jin Daotong flew all over the world, and he stayed in the warehouse, so the two partners didn't see each other often.
At the end of the month, Chief Bai handed over thirty yuan to Yuan Yuxiao, "This is a commission for Master Wen, we have an agreement, you go to him, let him send a receipt back." ”
Yuan Yuxiao collected the money, went out and met Jin Daotong, who had not seen him for two days, the two greeted each other very affectionately, Jin Daotong patted Yuan Yuxiao and said with a smile: "You have become our main force now!" Yuan Yuxiao said: "Less! I'm guarding a mountain of gold you laid down as a bookkeeper who collects accounts, a bowl of easy rice! Kim Daotong said, "Is it easy? It's going to keep me sitting all day, and I'm going to want to die! Yuan Yuxiao said: "I am a Tang monk who can only sit in meditation, and I have to rely on you, a living monkey, in terms of real skills!" Jin Daotong laughed: "No matter how ruthless my Monkey King is, don't I have to call you Tang Seng a master!" Yuan Yuxiao was speechless for a while, so she could only laugh with him.
After laughing for a round, Yuan Yuxiao said, "To be honest, it doesn't take much effort to make money, it doesn't make money, and there are those who are easier than me, you see, I'm going to send money to Master Wen now, and people are only giving a code, handing over a note ++, and earning thirty a month, which is almost our monthly salary!" That's extra money! ”
Jin Daotong smiled and said seriously, "You don't want to be shallow-eyed, people are taking risks to do this, as long as they meet a boss to report him, he won't be able to take the scene, use his work for personal gain, affect the smooth flow of goods, and he can't afford to wear a hat at will!" I suspect he won't be able to do this underground job for long. Now you will tell the truth, you exchange a position with him, with your character, are you willing to make such money secretly? ”
Yuan Yuxiao had to say honestly, "I won't do it if I am killed!" ”
"So, there's really no good thing in this world to make money and effortlessly!"
Yuan Yuxiao smiled and arched her hand, "Tang Seng is going to call Sun Wukong to be a master!" ”
"Fuck off! Go get the money early! ”
The two parted in giggling. Yuan Yuxiao went directly to the warehouse to understand the delivery of the money, and took a receipt back.
The next day, Yuan Yuxiao had just sat down in the warehouse, and before he had entered a daze, Master Wen began to make a secret signal, and he only said that it was open, but he didn't expect Master Wen to take him outside with a gesture.
Standing in the shade of the trees on the side of the road, Master Wen said with a sweaty face, "Xiao Yuan, don't come here in the future, I won't dare to do this underground work in the future!" ”
Yuan Yuxiao suddenly thought of Jin Daotong's words yesterday, and felt a pang in her heart, could it be that this was fulfilled so quickly?
"Yesterday you were so polite, I should have continued to work hard, but I took the money and my heart was not steady, there were some small discussions between the bosses, a few colleagues were also suspicious, the paper could not hold the fire, once they knew, they would definitely be red-eyed, as long as one was exposed, I took advantage of professional convenience, violated the principles of work, and made this kind of black money, it was really not fun! So thank you very much, and I'm really sorry! From my personal point of view, of course I want to do it forever, and I am certainly not so noble to generate income for the country, I am generating income for myself, and by the way, it is also good for the country, right? I really can't help it! As he spoke, he smoked and gave up.
Fortunately, I talked about this topic with Jin Daotong, although it was a little sudden, Yuan Yuxiao still had a mental preparation, so she reached out and shook Master Wen tightly, "It's okay, this can be expected, thank you Master Wen for your support to our work this month!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Master Wen lowered his head and shook Yuan Yuxiao's hand, "Anyway, I can't let you run for nothing today, I have to let you catch the last stroke, talk about my heart......"
"Don't force it!" Yuan Yuxiao had a strange feeling, is this a parting reward? However, he still felt the sincerity of the other party, "Safety first!" I'll leave today! ”
"That's good! It's like I'm going to get the money and I'm going to run away! I'll be careful...... I didn't catch it, so please understand! Long live understanding! ”
When he said this, Yuan Yuxiao had to stay and sit for another day.
He chose to stay farther away than usual. On this day, he could see that Master Wen had been in a state of tension, and he seemed to be able to smell an atmosphere around him that could make people suspicious of dark ghosts, maybe he didn't usually think about this aspect, so he didn't notice it. Master Wen's colleagues did care about him intentionally or unintentionally, and incidentally, they also glanced at Yuan Yuxiao from a distance, which made him very uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles. The weather is already hot, and there are many people here, and the ceiling fan stirs up a very dry hot air. The sweat on Master Wen's face flowed all day, and he wiped it with him.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Master Wen never found a good opportunity to hand over a farewell gift, it seems that Yuan Yuxiao can only "long live understanding"!
He smiled and prepared to leave, and when he saw an opportunity for Master Wen to look up, he nodded to him from afar, and the two exchanged a goodbye look tacitly. Even if he couldn't hear it, he could feel Master Wen let out an apologetic sigh.
Just one month of cooperation is over. In the past month, Yuan Yuxiao has formed an inertia at work, and suddenly ended this ambush operation, and he seemed to have forgotten how he had lived before.
The sun was blazing, and a fallen leaf staggered to and fro, and finally stuck to his sweaty forehead.
When he returned to the substation, he received a letter from Mo Qing in the communication room.
Mo Qing had already learned about the current situation of Yuan Yuxiao and Yu Xiaolu through the correspondence between them, and he was helpless. He tried to send a tentative letter to Xiaolu, pretending that he didn't know anything, but the other party simply pretended that he hadn't received anything, and went straight to the mud cow into the sea. Mo Qing told Yuan Yuxiao with a heavy heart that Xiaolu was going to say goodbye to all the past.
For Yuan Yuxiao, this is not a farewell to all. A year ago, when he said goodbye to his student days, Xiaolu, who was tutoring, was still building a small bridge between him and his student days, and Xiaolu also said goodbye to his student days a few months ago, but they walked hand in hand, which was almost comparable to the continuation of the previous era, and today, it was the final break, and since then, everything was empty yesterday.
"However, you and I are still walking together, and I am still a student, so you are actually still holding the hand of your student days!"
In his letter, Mo Qing comforted him in this way.
Really, Mo Qing is like a shadow of him, with the last ties of his student days, making him feel that he is still in his ivory tower.
As Mo Qingxin said, "Actually, you haven't lost too much, maybe there is no love between you and Xiaolu, it's just because of my selfish entrustment that I gave you a responsibility that didn't belong to him, and now that this imposed responsibility has been unloaded, Yuxiao, you should be relaxed." Your discomfort and emptiness may just be because of the loss of a friend, it's all just because fate is exhausted - don't you believe in the destiny of heaven very much - non-human can be reversed, you belong to the people who have to sigh for a long time when you see an autumn leaf falling, and it is completely understandable to lose a friend and feel uncomfortable for a while, but Yuxiao, you also have to work hard to change your personality - I know that sex can't be changed, so well, let the medicine of time solve everything......"
Yuan Yuxiao saw the letter here, and suddenly felt that the fallen leaves stuck to the corners of his forehead made him a little itchy, he picked the leaves and shook them off, and an obsessive-compulsive disorder made him look back and follow the yellow fallen leaves......
Oh, autumn has arrived, and his bags are already empty.
(The last part is over, and the next part will be launched recently, thank you for your support!) )
