"Can you take my car and accompany me back to the provincial capital?" Gao Yan looked at Liang Haixing with an attached gaze. Liang Haixing was worried that there were many acquaintances in the provincial capital, and Gao Yan drove him back to the provincial capital, once he was discovered, it would be easy to misunderstand and cause unnecessary troubles, so he politely rejected Gao Yan's request on the grounds that there were still things to deal with in the unit. Maybe Gao Yan understood Liang Haixing very well, or maybe Gao Yan saw Liang Haixing's thoughts, Gao Yan sighed softly and didn't insist anymore.

Liang Haixing felt that Gao Yan had given him a lot of gifts, so he wanted to take the initiative to settle the money for accommodation and meals, and the reason was very sufficient: "I am from Mashan now, you are a guest, and I should settle the bill." Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Gao Yan, who was also very stubborn: "I am very grateful that you can give up the Spring Festival break time to accompany me, how can I let you pay for the bill again?" Besides, we said it when we checked in. Gao Yan saw that it was difficult to convince Liang Haixing, so he said: "Don't fight anymore, you are different from me, you are a family, and I am a bachelor." This amount of money is nothing to me, you still have a son to raise. If you don't want to go, go back to the provincial capital, and treat me to a big meal. Gao Yan said and handed the credit card to the front desk attendant.

Perhaps because of an old friend, the front desk manager heard that Gao Yan was leaving, so he came to the front desk in advance to see off Gao Yan, and also gave Gao Yan some small gifts such as steamed buns made for entertainment, and provided Gao Yan with a discount according to the off-season reception price during the Spring Festival in accordance with the prior agreement. Gao Yan was very grateful, and said to the front desk manager: "If I knew you earlier, we can worship a godsister." ”

The front desk manager reacted quickly and said with a smile: "It's not too late." Gao Yan smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

After settling the bill, the front desk manager and Liang Haixing sent Gao Yan out of the reception hall, the front desk manager looked at Gao Yan's somewhat stumbling figure, and whispered to Liang Haixing: "Director Liang, did you make Section Chief Gao angry?" Liang Haixing seemed to feel that Gao Yan had something on his mind, and he had been in a bad mood since last night. Liang Haixing didn't answer, glanced at the front desk manager beside him, and said in his heart: "A woman's eyes are really poisonous." Liang Haixing was worried about Gao Yan's safety, so he hurried forward to Gao Yan and said to Gao Yan with concern: "It's okay for you to go home alone, right?" Gao Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm here alone in the snow." It's even better to go home. You're busy, don't worry about me. I'll eat a little by myself, so you can take it home and use it. Gao Yan said and handed Liang Haixing the gift given to him by the front desk manager of the guest house, and Liang Haixing clearly found that Gao Yan's smile was a little bitter.

Sent Gao Yan away, retreated from the room, and Liang Haixing returned directly to the bureau.

Liang Haixing came to the office and hurriedly opened the document bag handed over to him by Gao Yan, which contained a thick document bag, and a note was pasted on the sealed line, which read: Commitment of the heart.

Looking at the document bag in front of him, Liang Haixing was puzzled by the things sealed inside, a little curious, and seemed to see Gao Yan's trusting eyes looking at him, so he didn't think much about it, and locked the file bag that Gao Yan gave him into the file cabinet along with the documents sealed by Gao Yan. Then he dialed his wife's cell phone. According to the agreement with his wife in advance, Liang Haixing went home first, and then returned to his hometown with his wife and children to visit his parents and accompany them to spend their old age.

As soon as his wife heard that Liang Haixing was going to take the child back to his hometown after returning home, she asked Liang Haixing: What day is today? Liang Haixing was a little puzzled. The wife first blamed Liang Haixing for holding such a long meeting, and then told Liang Haixing that he would go to work tomorrow. Liang Haixing's wife also told Liang Haixing that he couldn't go home for a meeting in Mashan, and that his wife and son were fine at home, so they took a bus back to their hometown. Now I am taking my children on the way back to the provincial capital. After listening to his wife's words, Liang Haixing realized that he had spent five days with Gao Yan in Mashan, and a sense of guilt arose.

Liang Haixing didn't think much about it, hurriedly went back to the dormitory, picked up the clothes that needed to be changed, and other items to take home, and hurriedly took the bus to the bus station.

Sitting on the long-distance bus to the provincial capital, the anxious Liang Haixing felt very slow and couldn't wait to return home immediately. Liang Haixing knows that the living conditions in his hometown are not as good as those in the city, and his wife and children who are used to living in big cities must have suffered a lot of sins at home, so he wants to return home early with a guilty heart, cook a delicious meal for his wife and children, and welcome the arrival of his wife and children, which can also be regarded as compensation for his wife and children.

Perhaps because the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, the highway is particularly congested, but fortunately, the high-rise buildings in the provincial capital are still visible, and home is in sight. However, I didn't expect the long-distance bus to be slower, like crawling. I don't know who said it at this time, it seems that there was a car accident in front of me. Liang Haixing's heart seemed to be pinched, and it suddenly tightened.

Finally arrived at the toll booth at the highway intersection and was about to leave the highway. Sitting on the long-distance bus, Liang Haixing found that the roadside guardrail not far in front of the toll booth had been damaged, and a trailer was pulling and all burned down, leaving only the blackened deformed car shell heading towards the city. Looking at the tragic scene in front of them, people are worried about the driver's life. I don't know why, looking at the scene in front of me, a sense of foreboding hit Liang Haixing's heart, thinking: This car can't be Gao Yan's, right? I thought again, how could it be so coincidental, and I also specially told Gao Yan to be careful when driving on the road and pay attention to safety. Liang Haixing couldn't help but feel amused by his worries. But there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he secretly prayed for Gao Yan.

Liang Haixing took out his mobile phone and pressed down Gao Yan's mobile phone number, but there was an unreachable prompt sound, and Liang Haixing's heart was even tighter. Liang Haixing thought again: What problem does Gao Yan's mobile phone not connect can mean? Gao Yan had already left Mashan, and he was driving by car, which was much faster than a long-distance car. Judging from the scene of the car accident in front of him, it seems that it has just happened, maybe Gao Yan has arrived home at this time, feeling tired, and afraid of being disturbed by others, so he turned off his mobile phone, lay on the bed, and was immersed in sleep.

After some self-comfort, Liang Haixing was a little relieved.

After returning home, he quickly forgot about the car accident he encountered on the road, and the warm smell came to his face, and Liang Haixing was busy with housework. Liang Haixing knew that his wife and children had a bumpy road and were not used to the diet in his hometown, so he boiled the water first, then took out the fish and meat from the refrigerator, and prepared to cook for his wife and children after it was ready.

After Liang Haixing cleaned up, he wanted to call and ask where his wife was so that he could determine if he was ready to cook. Suddenly, there was a voice in the corridor, like the voice of the son, and if you listen carefully, it is the son who is complaining about the hard work of going to his grandparents' house. Because the grandparents miss the only grandson very much, when they enter the New Year, the grandparents always call and tell them to take their grandson home, but the son who is used to life in the big city is very reluctant to go back to his grandfather's house in the countryside for the New Year. Liang Haixing understands his son very well, and every time he goes back to his hometown for the New Year, he has to mobilize his son's thoughts and coax him to go to his grandparents' house. Despite this, the son is still very dissatisfied, and he keeps muttering every time he comes back. What's more, unlike in the past, Liang Haixing did not return to his hometown to raise him for the New Year this year, which naturally caused his son's deeper dissatisfaction. Perhaps Liang Haixing felt deeply wrong, and he could understand his son's mood at this time, put down the work in his hand, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome his wife and children.

Sure enough, when I went down the stairs, I saw my wife and son panting up the stairs carrying cardboard boxes. The son pouted, very reluctantly; The wife's face was full of displeasure. Liang Haixing hurriedly stepped forward, took the heavy cardboard box from his wife and children, put it on his shoulder, and couldn't help but say: "What is it, so heavy." The wife shook her hand and couldn't help but say, "Be careful, don't flash your waist." Otherwise, let's carry it. The child's grandparents are worried that they will starve your grandfather and son, so they will put the family's vegetables, oily meat, dry food, eggs, and sweet potatoes into it. I said that there was nothing lacking in the city, and the child's grandmother said that everything in the family was raised or planted by herself, and she raised people. The wife said, helping Liang Haixing carry the box and walk upstairs.

It seems that Liang Haixing patronized and talked to his wife, ignoring his son, and the son said extremely dissatisfied: "I will never return to my hometown next year." Liang Haixing understood his son very well and smiled without saying a word. The wife seemed to be a little unaccustomed to it, so she said angrily: "This child is so ignorant, he has come back from his hometown, and he has been clamoring all the way not to go back to his hometown." The son said no more, and walked briskly upstairs alone. And the wife said; "There are so many cars on the road, and people are so crowded, going back to my hometown every year for the New Year is like passing the customs."

Suddenly, Liang Haixing's wife seemed to remember something, and said to Liang Haixing: "On the way back, when passing by the highway toll station, I heard that there was a traffic accident before we sat for a long time. It's miserable. The wife was full of sympathy.

I don't know why, with his wife's narration, Gao Yan's tragic situation before her death appeared in front of Liang Haixing's eyes from time to time, and she whispered to her wife: "For the New Year, let's not talk about this unlucky thing." The wife also seemed to think that something was wrong, so she didn't say anything more.

After entering the house, his wife helped Liang Haixing put the cardboard box on the floor of the hallway, and Liang Haixing couldn't help but say: "It's really heavy." Liang Haixing said and moved his waist. The wife found scissors, cut off the nylon rope on the carton, and opened the carton: vegetables, pork, eggs, a box full of New Year's goods, containing the mother's strong love.

"Don't you really care about what your dad is carrying? See for yourself, I'll clean up first. As she spoke, her wife sorted the New Year's goods she had brought back from her hometown and put them in the kitchen.

A child is always a child, and as soon as he entered the house and changed his clothes, he said to Liang Haixing's wife: "Mom, what are we eating?" Liang Haixing's wife glanced at her son with disdain, and said, "What do you say to eat, your grandmother brought so much food, when will you be able to finish it." ”
