After more than half a month, it is rare to be idle, after work, Zhou Jing returned home, and the family sat around the dining table, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

During the banquet, Yuan Xiuhua suddenly changed the topic and whispered: "By the way, you probably don't know, the couple upstairs are divorced." ”

Zhou Xueming was taken aback and said in surprise: "Divorce? When did it happen? ”

Yuan Xiuhua took a bite of food and whispered: "I finished the formalities last week, and Jiani has moved back to her parents' house." ”

Zhou Xueming frowned, and said puzzledly: "The relationship between the two has always been good, how can you say that you will leave?" ”

Yuan Xiuhua smiled and said softly: "To be honest, with Jiani's appearance and character, it's a pity to follow Fan Weifeng, it's better to leave early." ”

Zhou Xueming nodded, shook his chopsticks and said: "Wei Feng is not very competitive, he is idle all day long, and he is not on the right track!" ”

Yuan Xiuhua snorted and said approvingly: "No, it's only been a few days since the divorce, and he is selling the house, it is estimated that it won't be long before he loses everything!" ”

Zhou Xueming put down the chopsticks and said sullenly: "This child is something I have seen since I was a child, a few years ago, I thought he could become a talent, but I didn't expect it to become like this." ”

Yuan Xiuhua sighed and said stupidly: "No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is involved in gambling, he will not have good results, if he doesn't get rid of this bad habit, don't let him go to work in the agricultural machinery factory, so as not to cause trouble in the future." ”

Zhou Xueming waved his hand and said softly: "No, when this kid is down, we have to find a way to help, we can't fall into the well, that's not good." ”

Yuan Xiuhua smiled and whispered: "Okay, Director Zhou, you are a good person to the end, have a good chat with him another day, don't sell the house, otherwise, there will be no place to settle in the future, how can you live?" ”

Zhou Xueming nodded and said softly: "It's time to talk to him, this Fan Weifeng, I don't know what to think, it's so good, it's really unbelievable to live like this." ”

Zhou Jing listened silently beside him, without saying a word, quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, returned to the bedroom, picked up the two clay figurines on the bedside table, and played with them, with a very complicated mood.

On Saturday morning, Zhou Jing rode his bicycle back to the rented house, as usual, with a broom, and began to clean the courtyard.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Jing raised his sleeves and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, but inadvertently found that Li Jiani was leaning against the door, looking at herself silently.

She was wearing a pink shirt, a dark green long skirt, a beautiful waist, and a pair of snow-white arms, all exposed, as elegant as a lotus out of the water, but on that beautiful face, there was still a melancholy that was difficult to hide.

The two stood in place like this, looking at each other quietly, without speaking, after a long time, Li Jiani sighed, walked slowly, passed by him, walked to the edge of the windowsill, reached out to get a clean rag, and entered the house gracefully.

Zhou Jing smiled, bent down again, waved the broom, and cleaned it hard, and it didn't take long for the yard to be cleaned.

He put the broom on the wall, picked up the red plastic basin, fetched a basin of water, and came to the house, but saw Li Jiani standing on the windowsill, wiping the windows, Zhou Jing put the basin on the edge of the window, and said softly: "Sister Jiani, how are you doing lately?" ”

Li Jiani paused, sighed lightly, and said softly: "It's okay, at least, it's much more practical when you sleep at night, and you don't have to worry about strangers breaking in." ”

Zhou Jing touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Sister Jiani, are you still blaming me?" ”

"Nope." Li Jiani smiled faintly, bent down, washed the rag, and whispered: "I've read all those materials, Xiaojing, let you bother." ”

Zhou Jing was relieved and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I hope it can help you." ”

Li Jiani gave him a blank look, and Nunu said: "If you want to help me, it's too simple, don't stand stupidly, a few windows in the west are all yours." ”

"Okay." Zhou Jing was in a good mood, picked up a few old newspapers, and walked over with a smile.

Half an hour later, under the busyness of the two, the inside and outside of the ancestral house were cleaned up and tidy, and it was brand new.

The two washed their hands and came to an old locust tree in the yard, and stopped in unison, Li Jiani turned around and said gently: "Xiaojing, how are you doing in China Merchants, is it smooth?" ”

Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, the leader is good to me." ”

Li Jiani smiled, stretched out her arms, and said coquettishly: "That's good, when you get to the unit, it's not as good as the school, you have to be cautious in doing things, and you must not offend the leader, otherwise, you will never come out." ”

Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, leaned under the tree, and said softly, "Sister Jiani, when are you going to Lingnan?" Otherwise, I'll take a leave of absence in a few days and go with you. ”

Li Jiani waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's the peak season, the business of the clothing store has improved, and it can support it for a while, not to mention, you just ask for leave when you arrive at the new unit, which is easy to leave a bad impression on the leader." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "When I arrived at the unit, I suddenly found that many people were doing their work, and they were all dealing with things, and they were plain and indifferent. ”

Li Jiani raised her white chin, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe there is no motivation, the leaders of the unit may still want to make some achievements, and those people below will not get benefits, nor can they see hope, so naturally they have no positive surname." ”

Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "There is indeed this factor. ”

Li Jiani wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, she said in a hurry: "Xiaojing, have you seen him these words?" ”

"Who?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Brother Fan for a while, are you still thinking about him?" ”

Li Jiani shook her head lightly and said a little sadly: "No, I'm just a little worried, he won't take care of himself, and I don't know how embarrassed he is now." ”

Zhou Jing sighed and said softly: "That's no way, if he doesn't work hard, the gods can't save him." ”

Li Jiani was silent, thought for a long time, and then said faintly: "As long as you don't gamble, there is still hope, Xiaojing, have you mentioned it to your uncle about him going to work in the agricultural machinery factory?" ”

Zhou Jing frowned and said softly: "I said it a long time ago, if you don't worry, I'll urge you again after a while, but I heard last night that he was selling his house, which is not a good sign." ”

Li Jiani was stunned and lost her voice: "Really? ”

Zhou Jing nodded, and said with some concern: "I'm afraid that he will take the money and go to the casino again." ”

Li Jiani had a sad face and hesitated for a long time before she lowered her head and said sullenly: "Forget it, don't care, let him toss." ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "You, you just have a hard mouth, so let's go over and take a look at him at night and persuade him well, so I should rest assured, right?" ”

Li Jiani bit her lip and whispered: "Xiaojing, I want to go back and see, after all, I have lived for many years and have feelings for that house." ”

Zhou Jing understood her thoughts, but he didn't break it, but walked to the wall, pushed the bicycle, and said softly: "Okay, Sister Jiani, let's go over." ”

Li Jiani sat in the back seat, stretched out her arms, naturally hugged Zhou Jing's waist, and said softly: "Xiaojing, Sister Jiani was in a bad mood that day and said something too much, don't be angry." ”

"How so?" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, rode the bicycle slowly, and said in a low voice: "That thing is indeed what I did wrong." ”

Li Jiani frowned, put her cheek on Zhou Jing's back, and murmured: "Xiaojing, I don't want to lose your younger brother, let's be sisters and brothers for life, okay?" ”

Zhou Jing was a little disappointed, but he still nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, our friendship will definitely stand the test of time." ”

Li Jiani smiled and said gently: "Xiaojing, you can say this, my sister is happy in her heart." ”

Ten minutes later, when he came to the community, Zhou Jing parked the car and accompanied Li Jiani to the third floor, he knocked on the door a few times, waited for a while, and there was no response inside, so he turned his head and said, "I should not be at home." ”

Li Jiani took out the key, opened the door, and quietly walked in, but saw that the house was in a mess, on the dining table in the living room, there were instant noodle bowls in a mess, and cigarette butts were thrown everywhere, and she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes and almost burst into tears.

Zhou Jing entered the house, looked around, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and cleaned up with Li Jiani.

The two cleaned the room, Li Jiani washed her clothes, sat in the room for a while, took out a stack of money, put it at the head of the bed, came to the door, turned her head to look, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaojing, let's go, this is the last time I will come back." ”

Zhou Jing walked over, hugged her gently, patted her back, and whispered: "Sister Jiani, if you want to cry, you can cry, it may be more comfortable." ”

"Xiaojing!" Li Jiani bit her lip and didn't say a word, tears flowed down like pearls with broken threads, and after a long time, she touched the tissue, wiped her cheeks, and said softly: "Okay, my heart is much more comfortable." ”

Zhou Jing let go of his hand and accompanied her downstairs, until he walked to the door of the community, and saw that she had adjusted her emotions, so he separated.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jing came to the third floor again, knocked on the door gently, and after a while, Fan Weifeng pushed open the door and said with a mouth full of wine: "Xiaojing, come in." ”

Zhou Jing walked into the room and said softly, "Brother Fan, Sister Jiani and I have been here in the afternoon. ”

Fan Weifeng nodded and said lightly: "I know, besides her, who else cares about me so much?" ”

Zhou Jing pulled a chair and sat down, frowning, "Brother Fan, I heard that you are going to sell the house?" ”

Fan Weifeng smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, and nodded: "That's right, but don't worry, I won't gamble anymore this time." ”

Zhou Jing was a little unconvinced, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to do business?" ”

Fan Weifeng shook his head and said gloomily: "No, I want to change the environment and live a new life." ”

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, and persuaded softly: "Brother Fan, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, don't sell the house, as long as you can quit gambling, after a while, I will arrange for you to work in the agricultural machinery factory." ”

Fan Weifeng spit out a smoke ring, looked at the roof of the shed in distraction, shook his head and said: "No need, Xiaojing, thank you, but I don't need it now, I want to leave Qingyang, go around the country, scatter my heart, maybe, it will take many years to come back." ”

Zhou Jing saw that he was resolute, so he stopped admonishing, chatted for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Fan Weifeng sent it to the door, suddenly grabbed Zhou Jing's hand, and said softly: "Xiaojing, there is something I want to ask you." ”

Zhou Jing stopped and said in surprise: "Brother Fan, what's the matter?" ”

Fan Weifeng turned his head away and said softly: "Go and see more in the future, take care of Jiani, don't let her be bullied." ”

Zhou Jing nodded and whispered, "Don't worry, I will." ”

"Thank you." Fan Weifeng closed the door, finally couldn't control his emotions, squatted down, held his face with both hands, and cried like a child.
