Zixuan became the host and producer of "Everyone Says", replacing the position that was originally heard.

In the depths of winter, on the eve of my aunt's birthday, the director of the public security bureau retired, and the new director had not yet been selected, and the old aunt presided over the work on behalf of the director.

On her birthday, my aunt invited Han Mingfei and several classmates to have dinner at home. I had just stayed up late that day to do an interview with the Nancheng District Public Security Bureau about suspected police dereliction of duty.

stayed up for a few days and nights to make news, and it caused quite a stir after it was broadcast.

At the end of the interview, I slept at home all day, and at dusk I heard my aunt and Ran Jing preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Coming out of the bedroom and going to the bathroom, there was a strange girl sitting in the living room, her hair was coiled in a flower-like bun at the back of her head, revealing her fair neck, wearing jeans and a khaki T-shirt, her back to me choosing vegetables.

The girl looked back at me.

Meng Xing! I exclaimed in my heart.

"Hey!" I stroked my messy hair and greeted her.

Meng Xing came to attend his aunt's birthday, and Ran Jing mentioned it before, although I was mentally prepared, I was still caught off guard.

She was surprised to see me, and looked twice into the kitchen, looking like she had gone to the wrong door.

The first time I met Meng Xing in the hospital, I sat on the ground embarrassed, with dirt on my face and a sad expression, I guess she didn't see my appearance clearly.

Later, I encountered her as a suspected prostitute and a drunk speeding boyfriend respectively, especially when I drove Junjun's car with a pervert who had just been released by the police and drove away in front of her, which made people even more embarrassed.

Meng Xing was holding the dish in his hand, his lips were slightly open, he didn't speak, and he was still looking at the kitchen, probably hoping that Ran Jing or his aunt would appear in time.

I smiled at her and slipped into the bathroom. In the toilet, I made several faces in the mirror to ease my uneasiness.

Meng Xing, who changed out of her uniform, was a different person, completely different from before, standing there delicate and refined, and the coiled cloud bun made her show her scholarly temperament. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window reflected on her face, her hair plated in a soft golden yellow, and her whole person was shrouded in warmth.

Coming out of the bathroom, I walked over and turned on the TV and asked her if she had coffee or pure water, and she said yes, and I made a cup of coffee and brought it over.

A love soap opera is being staged on TV, and the heroine with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent hugs the handsome guy and says: "Please don't (die) Oh, I don't want you, you, no one will buy me Häagen-Dazs anymore, and no one will care about me and protect me anymore." ”

She stood aside, and I said, "Sit down, it's tiring to stand and choose vegetables." ”

She was drawn to the sound on the TV, sat down with an "oh", and continued to choose food.

I went to the dining room to set the dishes and chopsticks, and out of the corner of my eye I glanced at her, she was staring intently at the TV screen, and she didn't drink her coffee.

Later, my aunt came out of the kitchen and introduced the two of us, and she probably didn't remember that Meng Xing and I had met at the city bureau.

After Meng Xing knew about my relationship with my aunt, he glanced at me with a sly smile.

I suddenly remembered Lu Jiaqi's involvement in prostitution, and I sweated.

After my aunt and classmates arrived, the living room began to be lively, someone set up a camera to film, Han Mingfei entered the door with a big cake, and shouted back pain when he entered the door, so Meng Xing and I helped carry the cake.

The old aunt put the jar wine that had been treasured for many years on the table, and Chen Xiao brought back a few bottles of red wine.

During the meal, Meng Xing sat next to his aunt and poured wine for the guests.

There were more than a dozen people sitting at a table, Ran Jing and Chen Xiao were making soup in the kitchen, serving food back and forth, and the guests were all my aunt's best classmates, most of them were civil servants, but only she was a policeman.

My aunt said, "I mainly want to get together with my old classmates today. Supposedly, we, the Communist Party members, and cadres, especially those who are policemen, cannot celebrate birthdays, nor do we have the luxury of rights. But I guess having a meal at home can't be considered corruption. The further I got, the more I feel that my body is no longer good, and the policeman is not only lonely in my heart, but also my body deteriorates quickly. She looked at the big cake, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, "Old Han, you bought this, right?" If it spreads, it will not have a good impact. ”

This is the first time I have seen my aunt cry. For so many years, as a criminal investigation leader, she is still a woman, her husband died early, she lacks love, and her sideburns are quietly turning white.

Han Mingfei patted his aunt's shoulder and his voice trembled: "Luo Xin, don't be sad, we will celebrate our birthdays every year in the future, and these old classmates will accompany you every year." No matter how extravagant we are, as long as we spend our own money, whoever likes to say whatever they want. Let's not learn from those fairy policemen in the TV series, for the sake of justice, we won't spend a penny. It's right to be a clean policeman, but you are a woman, and it is your right to wear makeup, love beauty, be greedy, be romantic, and enjoy life. If you are a woman, someone will care, at least you have to allow someone to love you. ”

In fact, Han Mingfei is using this to express his love, he has pursued his aunt for many years, but every time he sees the shiny police uniform, he trembles, and today his aunt changed into civilian clothes, and he finally has the courage to express his feelings.

Everyone began to coax, and someone asked him to further express his position, saying Lao Han, don't hide it if you have something to say, just say it directly, even if you are killed by the Wang Bureau, you have to say it generously before you die, you are also the director of the hall, although the Wang Bureau is the acting director, but after all, he is still a deputy position, lower than your level, the superior is to the subordinate, what instructions do you have to quickly say to the old Wang......

Ran Jing came to serve the food and said, "Don't keep talking about love, there are two single children on this table." ”

Everyone turned their eyes to me and Meng Xing, and someone picked up and said: "These two children are about the same age, don't say it, it looks really a bit fateful." ”

Meng Xing and I glanced at each other, and quickly looked away.

The old aunt looked at Meng Xing and said, "If our family Xia Yu can find such a good girl as Meng Xing as a daughter-in-law, it will be too blessed." ”

Han Mingfei said: "Then let's draw a line for the two children." ”

Ran Jing interjected and said: "Old Han, don't make trouble, you are still single, how can you bully a girl as an uncle, Meng Xing has never been in love, and the little girl's face is red." ”

Han Mingfei said: "Hey, Xiao Ran, you are the worst, always mention my sadness." ”

Everyone laughed, and Meng Xing poured wine for Han Mingfei.

As soon as the scene was hot, everyone asked Meng Xing to drink, and the aunt wanted to block it, but was stopped by Han Mingfei. Seeing this, Meng Xing drank a small glass with everyone, but her face did not change, and everyone said that she had a good amount of wine.

Someone joked, "Drink well, this kid is absolutely good at his job." ”

The old aunt interjected: "You can't confuse drinking with work, especially the police, it's not a good thing to be able to drink." ”

As soon as the old aunt said this, she relieved Meng Xing, she began to take a sip of wine, and when others saw it, they said: "I also said that drinking is not about work, you see, understand the intention of the leader." ”

Meng Xing looked at his aunt embarrassedly and smiled.

After blowing out the cake and candles, Chen Xiao took a group photo for everyone, and my aunt asked me to sit next to her and said: "In the future, I will do more positive publicity for the police, you have been doing the report of the Nancheng Branch these days, the director of the branch has not been in office for a long time, and he is still very good, and the news report has a great impact on him." ”

"I'm just telling the truth!" I responded.

"The truth? Until things are figured out, no one knows what the truth is, your titles, 110 are in vain, and the masses are forced to hire thugs to watch the house. This means that the police are corrupt and incompetent, and they are not as good as hooligans. ”

"There's evidence for this, and the director has a nickname, called—"

"That's it!" My aunt interrupted me with a heavy face, "The police have their own public opinion on dereliction of duty, and arbitrarily drawing conclusions before the investigation is clear is also a harm to the police." Look at Auntie, is it easy for the police? ”

"Mom, don't talk about work, aren't you superiors and subordinates, can you eat cake first?" Ran Jing interrupted her aunt.

"Let's eat." The old lady sighed.

As I ate my cake, I remembered that I hadn't shaved today, and I must have been scruffy and like a criminal. I glanced at Meng Xing, who was dipping her hand in the cream and smiling at me with her fingers, revealing her shallow dimples.

Han Mingfei was drunk, after sending off the guests, he cried on the shoulders of his aunt, and the aunt asked Chen Xiao to help him to lie down in the study, and the old Han kept singing a self-composed song about the educated youth going to the countryside in his mouth, and the aunt stood by the window of the study and was silent for a long time.

According to Ran Jing, the aunt and Han Mingfei went to the countryside together and went to college together, and they were lovers, but the aunt finally married her uncle-in-law due to family pressure, while Han Mingfei has always been single.

Meng Xing staggered when he left, and he wanted to take a taxi back, Ran Jing and I sent it downstairs, the wind blew so much that people couldn't open their eyes, and Meng Xing squatted on the ground and vomited.

I didn't drink and offered to see her off. After Meng Xing got into the car, I turned on the heater, and she leaned against the window with a pale face.

Meng Xing lives alone in an apartment called "Extraordinary Sea" near the Public Security Bureau, when she got off the bus, she fell on the side of the road with weak legs, I went over to help her up, she muttered in her mouth and pushed me away to go upstairs by myself, just two steps to fall again.

She fumbled for the key, the key fell to the ground, I hurriedly opened my phone to look for it, and when I found the key, I found her holding on to a tree and gasping for air. I went over to help her, and her hands were cold, and she was cold. I struggled for a while, and finally picked her up upstairs, and she struggled a few times before she quieted down and closed her eyes.

Meng Xing's room is full of Chinese and foreign paintings, European-style oil paintings, and Chinese-style ink-splashed landscapes. In the corner of the living room, there is an easel and a drawing board, on which there is an oil painting that has just begun to be created - a bright and clear sky, the canopy and the earth form two silver transparent mirrors, the huge mirror perspective looks through the ethereal beauty, and a girl in a long skirt stands on the ground looking up at the sky, the sky is filled with fantasy colors, as if hiding a clean and romantic magic garden, deep and beautiful. The painting is not yet finished and is full of mystery.

There was a faint smell of painting in the room, the same as the scent of ink on her body.

I put her on the bed in the bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and went to the living room to make a cup of honey orange tea, which is said to cure hangover.

As soon as he was flushed, Meng Xing rushed out of the bedroom and went straight to the bathroom, locked the door and began to vomit after entering.

After a while, she stretched out a hand from the crack in the bathroom door and waved it and said, "Go back, I'm fine." Before I could speak, she closed the door again.

I waited in the living room for a while, estimating that she would not come out if I didn't leave, so I put the orange tea on the bedside table in the bedroom, wrote a note and left a phone number: Call me if you have something. Summer rains.

I went downstairs and sat in the car until I saw her room with the lights off.

Early the next morning, I received a text message: Thank you, but oranges would taste better if they were replaced with lemons. Meng Xing.

I sat at my desk reading text messages and couldn't help laughing, Lu Jiaqi, who was putting my bag, turned his head and stared at me, I deliberately stared at his piggy bank, he pounced on the beckoning cat, and wailed for a long time: "Who stole money again!" ”

I grabbed a handful of coins from my pocket and threw them at it and said, "I'm quitting smoking, and these count as sponsoring you." ”
