"I haven't had enough food in my hometown. Didn't you say that when you get back to our house, you will cook me my favorite food? The son pouted again. Liang Haixing's wife seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she said to her son: "What do you want to eat, after my mother cleans up, I will make it for you." ”

The son left satisfied.

Looking at the New Year's gift brought back by his wife and children from his hometown, as if his elderly parents were in front of him, he saw two packs of things wrapped in yellowish white cage cloth, like cooked food, Liang Haixing was a little puzzled, so he asked his wife: "What is this?" ”

The busy wife glanced at Liang Haixing, who was looking down and thinking deeply, and said: "This is the vegetable box that the child's grandmother specially branded for you, and I originally wanted to put it in the convenience bag, but the child's grandmother said that the convenience bag is not breathable, and when I get home, the dough is all sticky, and it is not delicious." He also specifically instructed me that as soon as I got home, I should quickly untie the cage cloth, spread it out, and dry it. ”

Liang Haixing's wife had just unwrapped the wrapped cage cloth, and suddenly, a unique fragrance of new wheat noodles came to her nose, and Liang Haixing couldn't help but say, "It's so fragrant?" Liang Haixing reached out to take the vegetable box, but was stopped by his wife. The wife said, "I'll eat it hot in a while." The wife couldn't help sighing as she spoke, and sighed: "I really know my son like my mother." ”

Liang Haixing didn't know what his wife was thinking at this time, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" The wife glanced at Liang Haixing and said, "The child's grandmother knows that you love to eat the eggs and vegetable boxes cooked by firewood at home, and she specially branded so much for you last night, and the child's grandmother wanted to burn more." I said, you won't stay at home for long, and you will soon go back to Mashan at work, can he eat so much if you cook so much? The child's grandmother said that Xing'er likes to eat this bite. He also said, not only Xing'er eats it herself, but don't you and your grandson eat it all? Besides, you have a refrigerator at home, and if you can't eat it, you can put it in the refrigerator. Although I persuaded the child's grandmother to burn less. As a result, there are still so many branded. That's enough for our family to eat for a week. After his wife finished speaking, she walked into the kitchen with a thick vegetable box wrapped in a white long cloth.

"You're idle, give your hometown a call. You haven't returned to your hometown for the New Year this year, our mother, and our father are very worried about you, and you can also tell the two old people casually that my son and I have returned home safely, so that they don't hang up. The wife seemed to remember something, and turned to Liang Haixing and said.

The wife left the foyer and went about her business. Liang Haixing was the only one left in the hall, and what his wife had just said kept echoing in Liang Haixing's ears. For so many years, my mother has never forgotten Liang Haixing's taste, and I understand Liang Haixing's thoughts very well: the fresh cabbage grown at home, the eggs laid by the local chickens, the domestic local pork bork, and the vegetable box cooked by Chai He on slow fire have an indescribable fragrance, as well as full of home flavor and motherly flavor. It seems that at this time, the mother is standing in front of Liang Haixing, looking at Liang Haixing with kind eyes, as if blaming Liang Haixing: Xing'er, why didn't you go home, you can't catch up with your daughter-in-law and son? Liang Haixing's nose was sour, and he couldn't stop crying.

Liang Haixing's lunch was very simple, and his wife warmed up the vegetable box brought back from her hometown for Liang Haixing. Eating the vegetable box made by his mother, it seems that his kind mother is looking at him with both eyes, as if to say: Is it delicious? Eat more. With new noodles and fresh vegetables at home, Liang Haixing felt that the vegetable box was particularly fragrant, and he was very full of food, a rare meal.

After eating, the wife cleaned up the housework and the son played games in his room. Maybe there is something on his mind, plus he has been accompanying Gao Yan recently, he is a little tired, and Liang Haixing, who has always had the habit of taking a nap, wants to go to bed early. Seeing this, his wife hurriedly said to Liang Haixing in a consultative tone: "You don't know what time you sleep this night." His wife knew that Liang Haixing was not sociable, so she said: "For the Chinese New Year, you finally came back from Mashan, and tomorrow you will go back to Mashan to work, why don't you take this opportunity to go to the leader's or colleague's house to visit the door and pay New Year's greetings." Everyone lives in the same courtyard, and once they let people know that you are not going to go home to pay New Year's greetings, what will people think? Besides, during the Chinese New Year, everyone is busy, so you might as well take advantage of the fact that people don't rest at noon and come out as soon as you stop. After the New Year's greetings, go home and sleep peacefully. ”

Maybe Liang Haixing was really sleepy, maybe he was worried about Gao Yan, thought about it, and said to his wife: "I've been in meetings for several days, I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while." Besides, this point is the time for people to rest, so let's wait for me to sleep and wake up before going to pay New Year's greetings. Liang Haixing said and walked towards the house. His wife knew Liang Haixing very well, so she didn't say anything more and continued to pack up the housework.

Lying on the bed, Liang Haixing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and from time to time flashed in front of his eyes the scene of playing and chatting with Gao Yan in Mashan, as well as the tragic situation of Gao Yan after the car accident, and the various consequences arising therefrom. Liang Haixing couldn't help comforting himself: How could it be so coincidental, don't scare yourself. But Gao Yan's mobile phone made Liang Haixing puzzled: Since he returned home, why did he turn it off? Is it really as she thought, did Gao Yan rest? I thought again: Gao Yan, Gao Yan, why don't you tell me when you get home, you know that I am going home, and you are worried that it will be inconvenient for me to answer the phone, you can send a text message and report that you are safe?

After tossing and turning, he finally fell asleep, and then Liang Haixing had a strange dream: one day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Gao Yan and Liang Haixing were rowing on the lake, Liang Haixing shook the pulp and paddled lightly, and Gao Yan played in the water sideways, which was very comfortable. Suddenly, Gao Yan seemed to go to catch something in the water, the boat was unstable and rocked, and Gao Yan's body fell into the water. Suddenly, the boat shook violently, and Liang Haixing tried his best to stabilize the boat and rowed to save Gao Yan. Helplessly, the boat drifted farther and farther away from Gao Yan. Gao Yan, who fell into the water, struggled desperately, and kept shouting in her mouth: Starfish save me, Starfish come and save me! Liang Haixing saw that the boat had drifted away, jumped into the lake and swam towards Gao Yan, and kept shouting: "Gao Yan, I'm here." ”

Maybe Liang Haixing shouted loudly in his sleep, Liang Haixing's wife didn't know what was going on, put down the clothes she was washing, came to Liang Haixing's bed, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Liang Haixing woke up from his dream, looked at his wife in front of him, and was also confused, and said, "What's wrong?" Liang Haixing's wife looked at Liang Haixing with puzzled eyes and said, "I don't know what's going on, you just yelled, and I rushed over." ”

Liang Haixing seemed to understand something, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said softly: "It's nothing, I had a dream just now." I dreamed that someone had fallen overboard. ”

"Are you still sleeping?" Liang Haixing's wife said. Liang Haixing hadn't said anything yet, and the mobile phone on the bedside rang. Liang Haixing took the mobile phone and looked at it, showing Huang Zhenggang's office phone number. Liang Haixing suddenly seemed to realize something, his face changed suddenly, he hurriedly got up, and whispered to his wife: "It's Director Huang's call." The wife didn't say anything more and quietly walked out of the room.

As soon as the phone was connected, Huang Zhenggang asked, "Are you at home now, or are you in Mashan?" Liang Haixing didn't think much about it and replied, "I'm at home." Huang Zhenggang said again: "You hurry to my office now." Huang Zheng hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. Liang Haixing didn't dare to slack off, changed his clothes and prepared to go out. The wife didn't know what was going on, so she walked out of the bathroom, looked up at the watch on the wall, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Director Huang is looking for me, I'm going to the department." Liang Haixing said and opened the door. Suddenly, his wife noticed that Liang Haixing's hair was a little messy, so she said, "You wait." Liang Haixing didn't know what was going on and stopped.

"Look, fix your hair before you go." Liang Haixing's wife said.

Liang Haixing didn't say anything, and came to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Sure enough, not only was his hair and collar a little messy, but there were also deep sleep marks on his face. His wife stepped forward to arrange Liang Haixing's collar, Liang Haixing took the comb and combed it haphazardly, and then walked to the foyer. With the sound of the door closing, there was a hurried sound of descending the stairs.

Liang Haixing's wife followed closely behind Liang Haixing, seeing that Liang Haixing had walked out of the house, turned around and looked, saw that Liang Haixing's cotton clothes were still on the sofa, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly picked up Liang Haixing's cotton clothes and chased them out. Liang Haixing's wife looked downstairs and said, "Starfish, it's cold outside, you put on cotton clothes." Seeing that there was no reply, Liang Haixing's wife closed the door again and went home.

When the nervous Liang Haixing knocked on the door and walked into Huang Zhenggang's office, Huang Zhenggang, who was wearing a white shirt and wool vest, was sitting at his desk, bowing his head and smoking a cigarette. Judging from Huang Zhenggang's complexion, the smoke that spit wildly, and the serious expression that can wring out some water, Liang Haixing obviously felt that Huang Zhenggang's heart was suffering in pain, and it seemed that something big had happened.

Maybe he was too anxious all the way, and Liang Haixing tried his best to control the heart that was beating wildly. Originally, Liang Haixing wanted to say some New Year's greetings to Huang Zhenggang, but seeing Huang Zhenggang's gloomy face, he seemed to be thinking deeply, worried about disturbing Huang Zhenggang, so he didn't know what to say.

Just when Liang Haixing was at a loss, the confidential secretary walked into Huang Zhenggang's office with a folder. First glanced at Liang Haixing with puzzled eyes, and thought: I still have to report to Director Huang during the Spring Festival. Then, when he came to Huang Zhenggang's desk, the confidential secretary handed the folder to Huang Zhenggang. Looking at the word telegram printed on the folder in front of him, Huang Zhenggang looked at the confidential secretary with confused eyes, and thought: The ministry still doesn't rest during the Spring Festival holiday? Still sending telegrams downward? I couldn't help but say, "What's the urgency?" The confidential secretary smiled slightly and said: "It is a routine poverty alleviation survey deployed by the ministry, but the time is earlier than in previous years, and I haven't read the specific content." ”

After listening to the introduction of the confidential secretary, Huang Zhenggang suddenly realized and said, "I know, Minister Xue called me." Put me the telegram here first. Huang Zhenggang took the telegram and reviewed it.
