The woman immediately took Yuan Yuxiao's work card, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to him, "It's okay, I didn't believe you!" A smile appeared on her face, this was the first time Yuan Yuxiao had seen her smile today.

"Then you go home slowly, I have something to do first?"

"Go, go, go!"

Yuan Yuxiao looked at his watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, the sun was already on the head, he hadn't left the city yet, he was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to drag racing anymore. I thought of everything last night, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to pop up.

When he arrived at Lin School, it was already past twelve o'clock, and he smelled the fragrance of apples outside the school, and he was still sandwiched with the smell of food.

There were seven or eight people buying apples in front of the truck, which was not lively or quiet.

He set up the car, and it was easy for three outsiders to tell the difference, one was taking apples in the car, one was weighing underneath, and the other was collecting money. He walked over and patted the man who was collecting the money.

The man was a tall man, and when he learned of the coming, he immediately laughed and replied in northern dialect that they had already heard from Accountant Jin and would definitely cooperate with the payment of taxes. But it hasn't sold much yet......

"How much has it been sold?"

"About seventy pieces of ......"

"A little less......" Yuan Yuxiao estimated last night that she could collect at least two hundred.

"Otherwise, you go to the gold accountant's house and sit down, wait a minute, this sun boss, don't get the sun on you." Dahan is quite attentive.

The gold accountant was more than ten meters away, and Yuan Yuxiao thought about it, so he could only do so. He nodded and smiled and said yes. He had always had a good impression of the northerners, and felt that they were more loyal.

Seeing that he agreed, Dahan happily led the way in front, and at this time, Yuan Yuxiao noticed that his leg was a little lame, so he said, "You are busy with you, I am familiar with the gold accountant." The big man was also straight, so he was careful and returned to the truck.

When Yuan Yuxiao walked into Accountant Jin's house, she found that she was a little reckless, it was lunch time, and the host and his wife were just serving the food to the table.

"Oh, young man from the tax office, it's just in time! Let's eat together! Accountant Kim greeted warmly.

Yuan Yuxiao wanted to retreat too late, her mind was always there, and she had forgotten the time and hunger.

He was hesitating, but Accountant Jin came up and grabbed him warmly, while asking his wife to fry two more eggs.

After a few rounds of pushing and pulling, Yuan Yuxiao had to insist, "Auntie doesn't add more vegetables, I'll sit down and eat!" ”

"Okay, okay!" Accountant Jin promised to ask his wife to withdraw from the kitchen. Yuan Yuxiao had to sit down. He picked up the bowl and said, "I have to pay!" ”

"What a joke! It's just a light meal, and the guests still pay for the meal, and I don't open a store here! ”

Yuan Yuxiao put down the bowl, "If you don't allow it, I won't eat it!" ”

"Eat first, eat first! Let's talk about it! Accountant Kim said.

Yuan Yuxiao cautiously began to eat. Accountant Jin saw that he couldn't let go, so he kept talking to him.

"Little comrade, your surname?"

"My surname is Yuan...... Oh, the surname Kim who came with me yesterday. ”

"Oh, it's still my own family! You two are really responsible, young people now, amazing! ”

Yuan Yuxiao said a few words modestly, and became more and more restrained. Accountant Jin felt that he was too formal, so he kept serving food. Yuan Yuxiao couldn't let go, and she didn't know the taste of a meal, so it was easy to finish it.

Dinner. The lame man came in.

"We've finally sold one hundred and twenty dollars, let's pay the tax first!" He pulled out a large stack of money, which was relatively scattered.

"Yes, taking the initiative to pay the tax first is a correct attitude!" Accountant Kim praised.

"We are all honest peasants, and we do not follow crooked paths, and you taught us this morning to cooperate with the comrades of the tax bureau." Dahan said with a smile.

Yuan Yuxiao didn't know what to say for a while. If the money is not enough, at this time, he really can't say it, and if he says that he has received it, it is quite different from what he expected. It doesn't matter if he checks it alone, but this is done with Jin Daotong, and if he does an errand, how can he explain it when he goes back.

Accountant Jin saw his hesitation and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, this northern farmer is not easy, he has worked hard to grow apples for a year, he is disabled, and he has driven so far away, what a hard-earned money!" If you can take care of a little, take care of it as much as you can, you say? ”

Yuan Yuxiao thought about it, it could only be like this. Although this matter is not a matter of one person, at best, it is a matter of two people, and if he directly explains it to Jin Daotong, he will also understand if he takes this responsibility - didn't he originally say that it doesn't matter if he collects it today, although one hundred and twenty is not as good as two hundred and three hundred, but it is much stronger than no grain at all.

Sure enough, take a step back and open the sky.

He nodded, and sat down to open the ticket. At this time, he felt that both the Jin accountant and the lame man took a long breath, and the air in the room flowed, and a relaxed breath could even be smelled with his nose.

After counting and collecting the money, the lame man conjured up a few huge apples from behind him like a trick and stuffed them into Yuan Yuxiao's arms, "Come on, come on, taste the big apples in our hometown!" He said, "When the money was confiscated just now, I didn't dare to give it to you, for fear that I would bribe you, but now that the tax has been paid, this apple can be given generously, indicating that we have no other meaning!" ”

Yuan Yuxiao was moved by this sincerity and sincerity, and even put down the politeness that he usually has at such a time, he wiped the apple, and took a big bite with a sigh, this is his way of recovering sincerity.

The apple is very large, fortunately, because of his restraint just now, he only ate eight points full, but this apple has made him a little unable to straighten his waist.

He wanted to go back early now, and even more so to pedal to digest it, so he got up and said goodbye. Under the teacup, two dimes and two taels of food stamps were quietly pressed. After riding on the bike, he shouted to Accountant Jin, who waved goodbye: My food money and food stamps are pressed under the teacup. Then, regardless of Accountant Kim's reaction, he turned around and rode away. I heard Accountant Jin say in the back, this guy, what is this doing...... After chasing a few steps while talking, he shouted with a smile while riding the bicycle, don't chase your old man, be careful of falling......

Hearing Accountant Jin's voice, he didn't look back, he felt relaxed in his heart, and the day's work was finally done in half a day. But when I thought that the money + received could not meet expectations, I was mixed with joy, and I didn't know how to explain the reason to Jin Daotong tomorrow.

When he arrived at Jinglan Lake again, the road split in two directions again, he actually stopped the car this time, thought about it for a while, and decided to take Guiyuan Road.

Now that the matter is done, and it is relaxing, an urge to see Yu Xiaolu can't help but come up.

This sudden impulse actually stemmed from a long-standing apprehension, which had already begun since the letter was sent, coupled with Yu Xiaolu's lack of response, and Mo Qing's words that night.

Mo Qing is qualified to give him such a sacred mission, it seems that he does not, but he naturally accepts it.

Why didn't Yu Xiaolu hear back? Is it still in the making, or is it still ...... Refuse?

There are only two possibilities.

There are only these two possibilities, and he has never been an optimist, and it is always easy to think in a bad direction when encountering problems, and the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is.

Whenever he suddenly remembered that there was such a possibility of rejection, he always felt a heat on his back.

Now his reaction has come again, and his body, which was already riding a bicycle under the hot sun, sweated like rain for a while.

When the sweaty Yuan Yuxiao was getting closer and closer to the building of Yu Xiaolu's house, the words he had said to Mo Qing returned to his heart, "...... She is not a ball, she can kick wherever you want, she can pass it to whomever she wants, she is not a sour plum soup, she can drink whoever wants to drink, she has her own will, in the end, we are not qualified to be the master of her destiny. ”

This is a year ago, when Mo Qing was going to college, when he persuaded him to accept Yu Xiaolu on the afternoon of the Hongmei cold drink shop, his answer to Mo Qing was actually lingering faintly - or - haunting him.

However, in later days, in his interactions with Yu Xiaolu, Yu Xiaolu seemed to firmly belong to Mo Qing and his world, either Mo Qing or him. Yu Xiaolu seemed to be in his bag, and he could decide when and how to pick it up.

A subconscious ......

Now, he felt that he had to uncover this stuffy gourd, but fortunately there was a particularly valid reason today - to pass by here and take a look after collecting taxes at the forest school. It's still natural, and there's no trace of it. The tax stamps that have just been issued prove that what he said is true.

He stopped the car and parked under the tree, where Xiaolu had said that the sun couldn't touch the saddle of the car when he parked here. Although the seat of his mobile car does not get sunlight, he wants to park as Xiaolu asks today.

When he slowly walked up the stairs full of tenderness, he suddenly felt a little timid, hoping that Yu Xiaolu would do well to go to work today.

It's so contradictory.

When you knock on the door...... He was greeted by Yu Xiaolu's father, with a smile of surprise, holding his shoulder to welcome him into the house, like a friend of the same generation, which can be regarded as a kind of grandeur.

Only Xiaolu's father was at home.

Xiaolu was really not at home—as he wished—but instead of being happy, it was as if something was missing.

Since Xiaolu was not there, he wanted to deal with two sentences and leave, but Xiaolu's father insisted on leaving him to sit down, he inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before, a little dignified, which made him uncomfortable, but he could only sit down helplessly.

"I've always wanted to talk to you," Daddy Xiaolu said kindly and bluntly, "Tell me about you and Lulu!" ”

Xiaolu's father talked about this topic so bluntly, it was the first time in the world, Yuan Yuxiao was surprised, although her heart was suddenly a hundred times nervous, but her interest was aroused a thousand times.

He took a deep breath softly and looked directly at the center of Xiaolu's father's eyebrows with a solemn face, which was the most solemn and polite expression he thought.

"You and Lulu have maintained a pure classmate friendship for so many years, which is very rare!" Xiaolu's father is also solemn, and he is almost sitting upright, Yuan Yuxiao has seen him for so many years, he is all amiable, and he has never seen him like this, so he can't help but hold his breath.

"What direction will the two of you develop in the future, my aunt and I also see it, we parents all want our children to be happy, so I bless you very much in my heart!"

Even when it came to such blessings, Xiaolu's father's voice was still steady, and his expression was still calm, Yuan Yuxiao thought that his face would be feverish when he heard such words, but the strange thing was that he suddenly calmed down - a kind of peace of mind after peace of mind.

"Yuxiao, you grew up with my aunt and me, and there is a Mo Qing, you are both good boys, but you are more loyal and reliable than Mo Qing, and my aunt and I like you. As for the heron, the essence is also good, but it is a little naïve, Yuxiao, you step into the society first, help her more, and you will make progress together. In this regard, we are very relieved! ”

The two men looked at each other calmly, both staring at each other for a moment.

"Lulu has recently joined the work, and it can be regarded as entering the society, and her heart is more impetuous than before, and she goes out to play more, but I can also guarantee that her style is no problem......

This sentence made Yuan Yuxiao feel that the taste was quite weird, what qualifications did he have to accept the guarantee about Xiaolu, not to mention that this guarantee also came from Xiaolu's father, he was very frightened, and the content of this guarantee confused him, the word "style" is basically a proper noun, he didn't know what this "guarantee" came from, he wanted to express his confusion, but he didn't know how to phrase it for a while, he was thinking there, the door rang, Xiaolu's mother came in with a big bag of various dishes.

He hurriedly got up to say hello, Xiaolu's mother smiled and said I will put the dishes first and then make tea for you, and then went into the kitchen.

Yuan Yuxiao hurriedly said that you are welcome, he also has to go home. Xiaolu's father also came to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly in conclusion: "In short, we hope that you and Lulu are happy!" ”
