Chapter 42: Pathetic Memories
After getting married, David flew to Hawaii for his honeymoon with Lin Wei.
We stayed in the hotel owned by Lin Wei's family, and made a wish to invite Zixuan to his house as a guest, and by the way, we took a look at Mr. Xu's recent attitude.
It was Zi Xuan's idea to make a wish to go home to see the old man.
After a drink, Zixuan analyzed the situation of their family and said that many girl stars were born in commoners, dreaming of finding a rich man, regardless of the other party's age, figure, and appearance, as long as they marry money or fame, and after marrying into a wealthy family, they have money, fame, status, and have also entered the upper class social circle, they will begin to dislike the unattractive man who brings her glory, dislike his big belly, looped legs, black short frustration, and exclaim that even if she bites her teeth, she can't open her legs, and now it's time to cheat, divorce, cry about the grievances of the wealthy, and share a huge amount of property to find a little white face.
Seeing that Xu Yuan's face was blue, Zixuan hurriedly added: "Of course, I didn't say that the old man was black and short, but it was just ...... Just to give an example. ”
The wish was clearly moved. He needed to go home to see if the actress's stepmother had any changes, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw his stepmother hugging the old man and playing a coquettish and kissing game, which confirmed that the stepmother may have true love for the old man. And Old Man Xu was immediately furious when he saw the wish, and asked the family security bodyguard to drive the wish away. Wishing pulled Zixuan, who was running towards their golf course with an exclamation, turned his head and left.
Every time Meng Xing came to Beijing, he must go to see Grandma Liu, I bought a large bag of nutritional products and daily necessities with her to see her, and talked with Grandma Liu all afternoon. Meng Xing bathed her and cut her nails, and even fell asleep on Grandma Liu's lap. It wasn't until the escort reminded Grandma Liu that she was going to rest that the two of us left.
Grandma Liu's health is deteriorating, high blood pressure, dazzling, and hearing is not good, Meng Xing is very worried about her condition. Just like the last time I accompanied her, she couldn't hold back her tears when she left the nursing home.
Meng Xing shed tears, in addition to feeling sorry for her grandmother, she also blamed herself, deep down she always felt that if Su Jing was still alive, it would be the best companion and comfort for Grandma Liu in her old age. This idea tempered her belief again and again that she wanted to capture the murderer - even if it took her whole life, she had to fulfill her wish.
The weather forecast said it would rain on the day, but it was still sunny outside.
After leaving the Jingxin Nursing Home, he and Meng Xing wandered around the Drum Tower, walked along the road into Nanluoguxiang, and in an ancient Buddhist hall in a courtyard, Meng Xing put on a stick of peace incense, and closed his eyes to pray for Grandma Liu.
In the courtyard of the Buddhist hall, Meng Xing looked at the canopy, where clouds floated by, and her deep pupils seemed to be conjuring up memories of the past.
"Look at grandma's body, I'm afraid I won't have time." She came back to her senses and murmured to me.
"What?" I didn't quite understand what she meant.
"I mean Su Jing's business."
I understand that Meng Xing is worried about Grandma Liu's body, afraid that she will not survive the day when Su Jing's murderer will be punished.
"There will be a cycle of cause and effect in everything, and we will wait until that day." I comforted her.
I accompanied Meng Xing to the police academy where she graduated and met Su Jing's instructor and trainee police captain.
Over the years, the police academy has been tracking the progress of Su Jing's case, and has a police liaison officer who is responsible for this matter, and often communicates with the Yunnan police on a regular basis.
For this matter, several liaison officers of the police academy have turned white. But there has been no breakthrough in the case. However, the local police officer in charge of Su Jing's case had already sacrificed several in several operations.
The Yunnan police also regard this case as a key point to solve, and a Beijing girl in the prime of her youth traveled thousands of miles to support the border area, bravely fighting crime, and dying in the jungle, a fact that made too many local police officers feel guilty.
Back then, in order to get closer to the sacrificed Su Jing, and to solve the case and get the front-line case information in time, Meng Xing applied for transfer to the Qingluo Police Station in Yunnan several times, but was resolutely opposed by his family and school leaders.
And the Qingluo police don't want to accept Meng Xing, a girl from Beijing has died, and they don't want another girl to stage a jungle tragedy.
When I left the police academy, it was already dusk, and I asked Meng Xing what he wanted to eat and take you to eat. She thought about it and said let's eat old Beijing hot pot, I heard that it was good.
It was a little hot and stuffy, and I would sweat when I stood still, so I smiled and said, "You studied at the police academy in Beijing, and you haven't been to eat?" ”
She said with grievances: "We are closed management, and in addition to the school cafeteria in Beijing for several years, we have eaten KFC and McDonald's a few times at most. ”
I said, "Then let's go to Donglaishun and eat." ”
I took a taxi to the vicinity of Guomao, passed by a brand clothing store, and I pulled Meng Xing in to try on a few clothes, a total of more than 2,000.
I said, "Looks good, buy it!" ”
She was too expensive, and I said, "I'll give you something, but I haven't given you anything yet." ”
I took my clothes to the cashier to check out, only to find that my bag was empty and my wallet was missing.
Meng Xing looked at her bag again, and the money was gone.
We couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, put down our clothes and apologize to the cashier.
Walking out of the clothing store, the two of us dug through our bodies and found that there were only more than 30 yuan left in total.
Meng Xing said with annoyance: "Even the police's money dares to steal, and it's really bold." ”
I looked at her angry look and smiled and said, "The thief doesn't know that you are a policeman, and even if he does, he thinks that you are a stupid policeman and has no anti-pickpocketing ability." ”
She sighed and said, "You're still hitting me, we're hungry and tired now, let's eat something first." ”
I grabbed the more than 30 yuan, and saw that there was a shop selling baked cakes over there in Huamao, so I said, "Let's buy you a dirt slag cake, and have a cup of milk tea, and let Xu Yuan and Zixuan pick us up later." ”
She said, "Okay, buy a few more, and we'll eat together." ”
Walking under Huamao, I suddenly remembered a place and said excitedly: "I won't eat cakes, I'll take you to eat hot pot." ”
Meng Xing looked at the money in my hand and said, "It's not enough money." ”
I said, "Come with me, I'll make sure you eat it." ”
Take her by subway to Communication University.
In the restaurant on the second floor of the school, there is a 15 yuan hot pot, including two plates of meat dishes, vegetarian dishes are not limited. When he was in college, he came to Wishing a few times, and at that time he often drove to Communication University and Erwai to choose a harem concubine.
The restaurant does not accept cash, so I asked my classmates to help me swipe my card.
30 yuan for a large table of dishes. I spent more than two yuan to buy Meng Xing a cup of hot red date freshly ground soy milk.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, it was dark outside, dark clouds were overwhelming, first a light rain was dripping, followed by a torrential rain, and suddenly the wind outside the window was fierce, lightning and thunder, and the rain washed the sultry heat, and the shade soaked into the house.
There were only the two of us left in the restaurant, and Meng Xing looked at the small flame of the alcohol pot and gave me a thumbs up.
After a while, the pot boiled, and I sandwiched a fish ball for her and said, "You can eat it!" ”
Meng Xing put the fish ball to her mouth and stopped, I raised my head and found that her eyes were moist and she was about to cry. Outside, lightning and thunder roared, and thunder rumbled over the rooftops.
I wiped her tears with a tissue and asked, "What's wrong?" It's hot, eat it slowly. ”
She shook her head and said, "I think of Su Jing, she is most afraid of thunder. I was with her every time there was thunder, and she always put her head under the covers. ”
I felt sad when I saw her, put down my chopsticks, and said, "Don't be too sad, sooner or later one day we will find that murderer and avenge Su Jing." ”
Meng Xing wiped his tears, nodded vigorously, put the fish balls in his mouth and ate them vigorously.
In this cold night with wind and rain and flashing thunder and lightning, Meng Xing became fragile because of the load.
Sometimes, she is so in need of warmth and comfort.
After dinner, when I took out my mobile phone to make a call, I suddenly remembered Lu Jiaqi and dialed him.
After a while, Lu Jiaqi and Xiaomi arrived in a hurry, with the cool air of the thunderstorm on their bodies, sweating profusely, complaining that I had come to Beijing and didn't tell him in advance.
I introduced Meng Xing to the two of them. Lu Jiaqi said: "Long admiration, long admiration, I used to hear him reluctantly say that he fell in love with a female police officer, but I didn't expect his dream to come true!" ”
Meng Xing looked at me and smiled at them.
Lu Jiaqi looked at the hot pot in front of him again, and said angrily: "Come all the way to eat this?" ”
I said, "Both of our wallets have been stolen." ”
Lu Jiaqi was stunned, his voice was choked, he shook his head and said, "I didn't eat, I didn't tell me if I was hungry like this, do you still treat me as a brother?" ”
I was so moved that I patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Jiaqi grabbed me and Meng Xing and said, "Let's go, take you to eat delicious food." ”
I said, "I'm so full, we just don't have the money to go back to the hotel." ”
Lu Jiaqi looked back at Xiaomi, Xiaomi was stunned, reacted with an "oh", took out a stack of money from his bag and stuffed it into my hand, it is estimated that there must be two or three thousand.
Lu Jiaqi said with a smile: "Now, she is in charge of money, and I don't have a small treasury!" But do you see, at a critical time, my wife is still the most righteous. ”
Millet smiled happily. I took three hundred dollars out of the pile and said, "That's enough." ”
Lu Jiaqi's face sank: "You look down on me!" How to say that this is also in Beijing, not your hometown, you are now in a big city, a few hundred yuan is enough for something! ”
I said, "That's enough, that's enough, just take a taxi back to the hotel and do nothing else." This time, I came with Zixuan and his classmates to make a wish, and it would be easy to meet them. ”
Lu Jiaqi said unhappily: "Seeing them is different from seeing me? Xia Yu, you have changed and become a brother who does not recognize you. ”
Seeing him like this, I quickly pulled out a few hundred dollars, and said nothing else.
A few people discussed finding a café to catch up, so they took a taxi to the vicinity of the International Trade Center and found a café to sit down.
Lu Jiaqi has been working as a director in an outsourcing column of CCTV, and his income is basically stable, and Xiaomi has also obtained the housing index of the newspaper.
"This is the credit of the two women, it was your friend Lin Wei who pulled the strings to this column, and it was Xiaomi who was looking for the choreographer and director. But we didn't embarrass our friends and wives, did we? He said to Millet in high spirits.
Millet nodded, smiled, and saw that I hadn't spoken.
Lu Jiaqi said: "The most important thing is that we have a house, we can settle down, and our hearts are very down-to-earth, or Xiaomi is more capable than me, and the house is the newspaper's affirmation of her work ability." ”
Speaking of the house, Xiaomi twisted its head away.
I changed the topic and asked when they would get married, Lu Jiaqi happily touched Xiaomi's belly and said, "Do you know, I'm about to become a father." ”
I looked at Xiaomi's slightly bulging belly in surprise and said, "Really? That's not about getting married in a hurry. ”
Lu Jiaqi scratched his head and said: "Now it is popular to have unmarried children, and when I become a father in a down-to-earth manner, I will lead Xiaomi and the child into the door together." After speaking, he gently took Millet into his arms.
I said, "When the child is born, I must tell me, and Meng Xing and I will come to see the child." ”
Lu Jiaqi said: "I must tell you as soon as possible, you can't come if you don't come!" Then he clenched his fists passionately and said: "There is no great father, I can only strive to be a good father, and let the child live a happy life in the future." ”
Looking at Lu Jiaqi's happy appearance, I sighed in my heart.
On the way back to the hotel, Meng Xing fell asleep leaning on my shoulder.
She kept smiling in her sleep, and I hoped that it represented a beautiful dream, in which there would be no more haze and thunderstorms, and it would always be sunny.
