Chapter 275: Search
I quickly ran towards Zhu Jinshan.
Zhu Jinshan, who is already a father of three children, still has so dark skin, but he looks more robust, but because he stepped into society too early and did hard work too early, his back is already a little bent.
"Did you win the jackpot?" I asked.
"Medium fart. Just a packet of laundry detergent and a bar of soap. Zhu Jinshan said.
"Not bad."
"Not bad? Went to more than a hundred. ”
"How much does it cost?"
"Two pieces."
"Where's my sister-in-law?"
"Still touching it. Crazy. I just took a few laps through the crowd, but I didn't bump into Hao Junqi. Zhu Jinshan looked ashamed.
"How can it be that easy? Thank you very much, though. ”
"What kind of bird are you talking about?" Zhu Jinshan put his hand on my shoulder.
"Okay, no kind words. What do you say now? "I got straight to the point.
"There are too many people, set sail." Zhu Jinshan said without concern.
"yes. Not to mention that Hao Junqi may not be in the crowd, even if she is fixed, she may not be able to find it. Besides, I haven't seen her for so many years, and I don't know what she looks like. "I voiced my concerns.
"Don't be discouraged, since you're here, let's take a few more turns, maybe we'll run into each other. As long as you touch it, you can recognize it at a glance. Zhu Jinshan patted me on the shoulder.
"I think so. Then let's split up. ”
Zhu Jinshan and I were drowned in the crowd.
I tried to get as close as I could to the prize point. Every now and then, someone bumps into me, but they don't bother to say "I'm sorry". Those were extremely devout prize seekers. All their attention was focused on the prize ticket at hand, carefully scratching the prize ticket, and then throwing away the empty prize ticket with great regret, scolding the mother in their mouths.
Finding a child playmate in such a crowd who hasn't seen for more than 20 years is no easier than looking for a needle in a haystack.
My eyes are all focused on the women, but I don't want to pay too much attention to them. You can only pretend to notice her casually, and when she notices that you are paying attention to her, you quickly look away and smile awkwardly at her if possible.
Of course, the object of your attention must be in line with your imagination of Hao Junqi. What will Hao Junqi look like? You don't know. But it's impossible to be too fat, it's impossible to be too short, it's impossible to be too sorry for the audience, right?
However, there are as many disappointments as you have hopes, and again and again you summon up hope and turn your goal to the next object, and you fall into despair again and again. In the end, I resolutely withdrew from the rules of the game. Zhu Jinshan is more patient than me. But in the end, he was also discouraged.
"Are you really sure it's Hao Junqi's voice? Don't see her face? I said after another meeting with Zhu Jinshan.
"All I heard was voices. However, it must have been Hao Junqi's voice. You don't believe me? Zhu Jinshan said.
"I believe it. Because no matter how people change, her voice does not change much, at most she is more mature or older. I said.
"If only I could catch up and meet at that time, it would only be a matter of seconds, but I didn't expect that, I just wanted to report back to you. I'm really stupid. Zhu Jinshan blamed himself.
"Don't blame yourself. The main thing is that it's too sudden. ”
"yes. But you know, in order to see her, in order to explain why you didn't fulfill the promise you made when you were thirteen, you have waited too many years, and today I finally had the opportunity but I missed it, can I not blame myself? Zhu Jinshan patted his head.
"You've done a good job, if you still blame yourself, brother, how can I bear it? I'm already grateful. ”
"But as long as Hao Junqi is in Yangjiang, there will definitely be a time to meet." Zhu Jinshan comforted me.
"That's what I thought, too. Jin Shan, I originally wanted to invite you to dinner today, but due to something, I have to go back to Hua'an immediately, so I can only do it next time. "It's getting late, and I have to hurry back.
"It's okay, hehe."
"Explain it to your sister-in-law. I won't say hello to her. Remember to come to me in the hospital. "I'm in a hurry to leave.
"I will. Go to my house to play when you have time. ”
"Yes. I went back. I waved my hand to Zhu Jinshan.
Zhu Jinshan waved at me.
I squeezed through the crowd and went up to the Yangjiang Bridge to stop a tricycle to go to the station. Sitting on the bus, I kept praying that there was a shuttle bus back to Hua'an at the station.
I need to get back to the wedding venue as soon as possible.
Since I have withdrawn from the rules of the game to find Hao Junqi, then I have to enter the rules of the game for the wedding gift.
I suddenly realized that people are either in this or that game in life, no matter what, you have to be in a certain game, you don't want to escape, you don't want to wander outside the rules of the game.
To my disappointment, when I arrived at Yangjiang Bus Station, the conductor told me that there was no bus to Hua'an. Isn't it even four o'clock yet? But the conductor's tone told me that there was no doubt about it.
Needless to say, it's time for Cheng Wei to appear at this time.
Life practice tells us that people must have a friend of all kinds, and they must be confidant, so that it is very convenient for you to do anything, especially in a country like ours.
Of course, you also have to understand that you don't know when such a friend will lead you into a situation from which you will never recover.
It's so contradictory. Everything is so contradictory.
It's just that I, Zheng Qihang, am stupid by nature and not sociable, and I am Cheng Wei the only friend like this, who do I think of him when I am in danger?
"It's so strange, Zheng Qihang, will you take the initiative to call me?" Cheng Wei said on the phone.
Cheng Wei is telling the truth, he calls me whenever I interact with him, and I rarely call him.
"Drive me to Hua'an." I'm straight to the point.
"Now?"
"Now."
"I have an important meeting in the evening."
"It's terrible, I still want to take you to Hua'an tonight, it seems that it won't work." I deliberately said it lightly.
"Don't give me a fucking easy look. I asked my driver to drop you off. Where are you? "Cheng Wei knows my temperament like this.
I mentioned my location.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Wei's driver arrived. It was a quarter past four. I can't tell how many missed calls I have on my phone.
I called Xu Mo and told me that I was about half past six to arrive in Hua'an. One thing is for sure, it's not time for the wedding reception. The invitation we sent out was at half past five.
"Can't it be sooner?" Xu Mo suppressed her anger.
"Can't it be sooner?" I asked the driver.
"Aim for six o'clock." Said the driver.
"The driver said to be there at six o'clock." I said to Xu Mo.
"Then we'll have a feast at six o'clock, but you have to hurry as fast as you can." Xu Mo was extremely helpless.
"Okay."
The driver has more than ten years of driving experience, according to him, he has driven to Hua'an countless times, where there are curves, where there are bridges, which section of the road is stable, which section of the road is full of potholes, he can tell.
Looking at his calm appearance, watching his skillful hanging, and watching his dexterous avoidance, I felt that he was by no means exaggerating.
"If nothing happens, we can be there before six o'clock." Said the driver.
"That's great. Thank you. I said.
However, anyone with a little life experience knows that how many accidents that occur while driving are related to technology?
No accidents, just accidents.
This is called serendipity.
How many accidents happen in a person's life?
When you were a child, because of a quarrel with a person named Skinny, you climbed the Tiger Slope in a daze, and climbed the Optimus Pillar Cliff, prompting a thing called the Flesh Ring Spirit to entangle you, which was accidental.
When you were a teenager, a girl named Wu Lianzi broke into your class, and you foolishly thought she was Hao Junqi, and since then you have started a bad relationship that still makes your heart ache, which is accidental.
When you were in college, you rented a house and forcibly let the father of a girl named Ding Ying quit, and the girl lived in the house you rented, and you just had to stay in that house, so you had an emotion that you can't forget to this day, which is also accidental.
By the time you go to work, you have lost count of the number of surgeries you have performed on patients, appendicitis surgery is already a pediatric operation for you, but you miss, you sew a piece of gauze into the patient's body, or by accident.
When you got married, you fled from the wedding banquet to Yangjiang, in order to find Hao Junqi, the search failed, returned to the car back to the city, said to arrive before six o'clock, the car passed through a small village, suddenly ran out of a little girl in an alley, the driver of the sophisticated avoidance, there is no danger, who expected to follow a puppy from behind, no matter how skilled the driver is, there is no way to avoid, the puppy became a victim under the wheels, so parking, theory, pay compensation, delay for a whole hour, so let the car fly, You can't get to the hotel where your wedding is going to be held before six o'clock, isn't that accidental?
Every man, looking from his beginning to his end, is accidental; From another point of view, looking from his end to his starting point, it is all inevitable.
The driver apologized vigorously, and it no longer made any sense. It was impossible for the guests to wait until seven o'clock to eat in order to meet the groom, so my parents had to accompany Xu Mo to toast table by table, explaining to each table that the groom, Zheng Qihang, was still on his way back because of an operation. They laughed, swallowed their tears, and sat down in front of the feast at the front of the hall in a daze, cursing, and sighing.
By the time I arrived, all the guests in the hall had dispersed, except for my family and Xu Mo's family. My father was furious, and he raised his palms to teach me a lesson in his own way, but was stopped by my father-in-law. Xu Mo sat next to her mother, her face tense. I could see the grief in her eyes.
I stood at the table. The waitresses were busy cleaning up the scraps.
"Don't you have anything to explain?" The father roared, holding his heart with his left hand.
I don't speak. The truth is, I have nothing to say. I know I'm sorry for everyone at the wedding reception. On such occasions, any explanation is superfluous.
With nowhere to put my eyes, I had to lower my head.
