Different from Lin Lu's garden house, Chen Siming's wife lives in a simple unit building, a dormitory building of a public institution, with no greenery, and the building looks a little old, at least more than 20 years.

A woman, in her forties, walks lightly.

I followed her up to the third floor, and the woman noticed something, she looked back at me and wanted to ask something, so I simply said first: "My name is Song Kun, and I know your husband." ”

The woman hesitated, and after a while, she took the key out of her pocket, opened the door next to it, and beckoned me in.

The house is less than 100 square meters, the furniture is very ordinary, the decoration is also the simplest, paste a floor tile and paint a wall, saying that this is the home of the deputy director, it really makes people a little unbelievable.

"Sit down." The hostess pointed to the fabric sofa and beckoned me to sit down.

We had a brief chat, and I learned that her surname was Gong, so I called her Sister Gong. She asked me who I was, and I said it was a friend of Chen Siming, who had heard that he was missing and wanted to come and see.

Hearing this, Sister Gong looked at me, of course I knew what she was wondering about, I was more than ten years apart from his husband, and it was indeed a bit far-fetched to say that it was a friend.

She asked, "You're his friend, why haven't I seen you?" ”

"I used to be his subordinate, and then I was transferred to another unit, but Director Chen has always taken good care of me, and when I heard that he had an accident, I have been thinking that I should come to see you."

As I was talking, I saw a shadow flash in the bedroom, and a girl of seven or eight years old came out of it.

The girl looked at us, didn't speak, went straight to the refrigerator in the living room, took out an ice cream from it, and ate it.

The refrigerator door was closed a little heavily, and Sister Gong glanced over there, and the little girl made a face at us, smiled and sat next to me and ate ice cream.

The snow-white cream is wrapped in a thick layer of chocolate flakes, and sprinkled with scattered pieces of dried fruit.

Sister Gong looked at me: "Thank you for coming to see me, I have heard of people walking tea and cold before, and my mentality is also very good, after all, this is human nature, you can come to the door in person to prove that you really take Siming as a friend." ”

She spoke very softly and lightly, and sure enough, it was the same as what Lin Lu said, and there was no emotion on her face at all.

Such a woman has a delicate mind and has read countless people, and in front of her, I unconsciously feel nervous.

The little girl sitting next to me was still smiling at me, with a layer of chocolate floating on her lips and cream dripping down the corners of her mouth.

"Sister Gong, how many children do you have with Director Chen?"

She said: "Just one, although we both like children, but everyone is very busy with work, he is the deputy director, I am a surgeon in the hospital, I have one more child, and I don't have so much energy." ”

"You can hire a babysitter."

Sister Gong smiled: "You young people think too simply, having a child is not just so easy to bring up, but also has to be cultivated, if you have more children, you won't become talented, won't that ruin the child?" ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and a boy who was also seven or eight years old called his mother when he entered the door.

Sister Gong hurriedly greeted her, the one who sent the child back should be her neighbor, she said thank you, and the man left.

The girl who was eating ice cream next to me also walked over, the boy smiled at him, the two children seemed to be still talking something, the voice was very small, you and I were very happy.

Sister Gong patted her son on the shoulder: "Wenxuan, what are you talking to yourself again, go in and do your homework, your mother will check you after dinner, and you have to preview tomorrow's content." ”

The two children looked at each other and smiled again, stuck out their tongues at each other, and went into the bedroom one after the other.

"I'm busy with work and don't have time to pick up my children, before Siming would pick them up when he was free, but now that he is gone, it's all neighbors who help me, and it just so happens that her children are in the same elementary school as my son, so I will trouble others by the way."

As she spoke, she took out a bag of edamame from the refrigerator, found a basin and put it on the coffee table, and began to peel it.

Edamame is a very common bean, there are many ways to eat it, in the food stalls, it is generally boiled without peeling the shell, put some salt and ingredients, and eat it directly when it is cold, like boiled peanuts, and eat it as an appetizer with beer.

The other is to peel the raw one first, add a little pickled pepper and stir-fry, or braised it with pork ribs and pork belly, although the method is different, but the fragrance of the beans is retained in it.

I also helped Sister Gong peel the beans, the green beans are full of grains, and the round appearance is very cute.

She said that her son especially likes to eat stir-fried beef cubes with green beans, and he can't stop eating it, which follows his father's taste, father and son.

I glanced at her: "Director Chen, it's good to you." ”

"Of course, we are married and college classmates, and we have been in a good relationship for many years." When Sister Gong said this, the corners of her eyes rose slightly, and there was a hint of pride in her tone.

I nodded: "That's true, you and Director Chen are talented and beautiful, and they are very compatible." However," I paused: "But Director Chen is young and promising, and his temperament and appearance are extraordinary, and he is capable at work, so there must be many women who admire him......"

Sister Gong's hand peeling green beans paused: "What do you mean?" ”

She stared at me, her eyes were much colder than just now, and seeing that she was more serious than just now, I hurriedly said: "I'm just asking casually, don't be careful, Director Chen is a decent man and a gentleman, how can there be a woman outside." ”

A bag of green beans had been peeled, and Sister Gong took it to the kitchen, leaving me alone in the living room.

The door to Wenxuan's bedroom was not closed, and when I walked in, I saw two children sitting side by side in front of the writing desk. The boy is in the shoe, and the girl is watching carefully.

I leaned over, and the two of them immediately heard the movement and turned their heads to look at me in unison. I have to say that these two people look very similar, especially between Meiyu, who are very similar to Sister Gong.

The boy asked me who I was, and I told him my surname was Song. After that, I asked the girl next to me what her name was.

The two children looked at each other, but the girl did not speak, and the boy asked me, "Uncle, can you see her?" ”

I nodded and said sure, and he was excited.

He said to the girl next to him: "Sister, I said that I could see you, but my parents always didn't believe it, especially my mother, she thought I was talking nonsense, you see that this uncle can also see you, which shows that I didn't talk nonsense." ”

The girl next to me didn't speak to me, she just looked at me, the chocolate stain on the corner of her mouth was still there.

I reached out to wipe her mouth, but she quickly dodged the ......
