Chapter 18: Picnics

Du Xinlai thought about it, tears already flowing down his face.

Others know that she is a female devil in the workplace, not close to people, only she knows that she just needs a huge dress to wrap her weak heart, she is afraid that if she is soft-hearted, people will see through her past, her cowardice and inferiority have penetrated into her bones, in order to protect herself from being hurt, so she pretends to be strong and pretends that she has no feelings.

Just when she was crying, someone handed her a wet wipe, she didn't look up, she took it and wiped it, and when she turned her head, she realized that she didn't know when someone started squatting beside her.

This person is none other than Guo Xiao.

When Du Xinlai saw Guo Xiao, she turned around and wanted to leave, she felt really embarrassed, why could she always meet him every time she was down.

"There's no shame, you saw me when I was beaten so badly." Guo Xiao said.

"Why are you here?"

"I'll be back when I'm done and listen to Kevin."

"Is my mom gone?" Du Xinlai asked.

"Gone, your grandmother is gone." Guo Xiao said.

"How are they going?"

"I don't know, I said I was going to take the bus." Guo Xiao said.

When Du Xinlai heard this, he hurriedly got up and ran.

"You wait, I'm not done yet, I asked Kevin to drive them back in my car." Guo Xiao said.

Du Xinlai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, if you thank me, come and go to dinner with me." Guo Xiao said.

"I don't want to eat it."

"You can order something to drink, have you noticed that the water in this lake seems to have risen a lot." Guo Xiao said.

"No? Is it raining? Du Xinlai asked stupidly.

"Hahaha." Guo Xiao wiped Du Xinlai's tears with a wet tissue again, and then laughed.

Du Xinlai instantly understood, and wanted to punch over, but was caught by Guo Xiao.

"You also say that others have violent tendencies, I think you have them, why don't you beat people at every turn?" Guo Xiao said with a smile.

"Get out."

At this time, Du Xinlai received a WeChat message.

"Second cousin, I sent my grandmother and aunt back with Kevin, my aunt regretted it a little, don't be sad, I'll come back later."

Du Xinlai looked at it and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Some people say that a happy childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal, Du Xinlai thought that she might be the latter, she was precocious since she was a child, and she felt that life was very hard.

It wasn't until after college that she found that a free life was so happy, but that happiness didn't last long, because his departure came to an end, after work, she regarded herself as a working machine, and others had a warm home to rely on if they didn't work, but she didn't, work was all she had.

However, in the days of working for others, the position is still a senior worker, even though in the eyes of Zhou Kaili, she has excellent ability, but she will still only give the position to her fledgling nephew, and she can't stay by Cheng Yi's side.

She thought that with her work ability, she could eat anywhere, and she originally planned to engage in Internet writing, as long as she had a computer, she would not be confined to the office, but during this time, the family came and went, which completely disrupted her original plan.

The mortgage had to be repaid, life had to go on, and she had to continue to go out for interviews.

"What do you think?"

"No, why are you everywhere, didn't you drag it like 2580000 before." Du Xinlai looked at Guo Xiao and smiled.

"Didn't you understand the situation before?"

"What's the situation? But how did you end up like this? I'm really not used to it.,Why can't I find my previous photos.,Otherwise, I can show them Dodo.。 Du Xinlai looked at Guo Xiao carefully and said.

"Even if there is, you can't show them it." Guo Xiao was a little anxious.

"When you say that, I'm really going to look for it." Du Xinlai was triumphant.

Guo Xiao looked at Du Xinlai, it seemed that she was in a much better mood, he looked around again, and said to Du Xinlai.

"You wait here for me, I'll be right there."

"What? I have to go. ”

"Five minutes." Guo Xiao said as he quickly ran to the apartment.

Du Xinlai couldn't help but feel a little funny when she looked at Guo Xiao's running, although his appearance and temperament had changed, but at this moment she felt that she was back to the past, the junior brother who loved to play with her in the club.

The park was not yet fully built, and the weeds grew unbridled, and Du Hinlai was bored with a dog's tail grass, and it was autumn season, but not many people had time to come here.

Thinking of all the busyness of going to work in the past, Du Xinlai couldn't help but stretch and take a deep breath of fresh air, which is difficult for subway workers who work in first-tier cities to enjoy.

However, a few minutes later, Guo Xiao ran over with a yellow box and said to Du Xinlai.

"Come here."

Guo Xiao found a lakeside vacant lot, and went to the side to find a few bricks.

"What are you doing here?"

"You'll find out later." Guo Xiao pretended to be mysterious.

Du Xinlai opened the yellow box curiously, and suddenly found that there was water and beer in it, and there were many dishes that had been cut, and most importantly, there was a pot in it.

"You wouldn't want to have a picnic in this place, would you?"

"Are you nervous? This is a big city park, do you think it's a barren mountain? Du Xinlai said.

"It's not built yet, it's a wasteland now, and barbecues are allowed after this park is built, so there's no problem."

"Really?" Du Xinlai was skeptical.

"Don't worry, I've got a fire extinguisher." Guo Xiao saw that Du Xinlai was a little nervous and overly nervous, and comforted her.

"Well, why did you suddenly remember to cook?" Du Xinlai asked as he packed up the ingredients.

"I remember when I was in college, someone said that the happiest thing in childhood was to take the pot to the river for a picnic." Guo Xiao said while building the stove.

Du Xinlai's heart suddenly softened.

This sentence is what she said, at that time they set up a lot of clubs in the university, Du Xinlai wanted to actively be gregarious, so he went to join the photography club, once the people of the club went to a wild beach to collect wind together, everyone sat by the river with snacks for a picnic, sharing their happy past, Du Xinlai seemed to say this.

Unexpectedly, Guo Xiao still remembered that Du Xinlai's eyes suddenly became a little moist.

"You went that time, too?" Du Xinlai asked suddenly.

"You forgot?" Guo Xiao was a little disappointed.

"Hmm." Du Xinlai didn't say anything more, she was very happy that day, because there was another person by her side, and she couldn't tolerate others in her eyes at all.

Du Xinlai remembered the past, and his mood suddenly became heavy again.

"The past is over, help collect firewood, or the fire will be extinguished, yes, I have to guard against the wind, I can't let a little flame float out, here, here the water can't boil." Guo Xiao hurriedly changed the topic.

The two were in a hurry for a while, and Du Xinlai couldn't help laughing when he saw several pieces of black on Guo Xiao's face.

Guo Xiao didn't know why, but after he understood, he hurriedly wiped the destruction on Du Xinlai's face, and Du Xinlai hurriedly ran.

After tossing this circle, Du Xinlai didn't feel hungry, but he felt hungry when he smelled the rice.

The two of them directly used a spoon to dig vegetables into the pot, and the food was particularly fragrant.

After the two finished eating, they also sorted the garbage into a plastic bag, and finally Guo Xiao used a fire extinguisher to spray the place where the stove was built.

After everything was cleaned up, the air froze again, and neither of them expected that two people who were almost thirty would be as happy as children.

"Why are you going for a while?" After embarrassment, Guo Xiao asked.

Before Du Xinlai could respond, the phone rang suddenly.

"Interview? I'm not very convenient today, can I do it tomorrow? Dushinlai asked.

At this time, Dodo and Kevin suddenly drove to the gate, and saw the two dragging boxes, their faces were dusty, and they were very curious.

"Why did you go?" Dodo asked.

Du Xinlai will be a little weak-hearted, because Dodo's liking for Guo Xiao is too obvious, and it is obviously inappropriate for him to be with the person Dodo's likes now.

"Nothing."

"It's too messy at home, and she helped me clean it up." Guo Xiao saw that Du Xinlai was inconvenient to say, so he said nonsense.

"Cousin, don't you hate him the most? How can you still help him with hygiene. ”

"I'm not short of money right now, he pays." Du Xinlai said.

"Oh."

Dodo and Kevin let out an oh at the same time, and then walked into the apartment together in disbelief.

"How are my grandmother and my mother? Are you talking bad about me all the way? Dushinlai asked.

"No, in fact, my aunt feels very sorry for you, and I'm afraid that you won't take care of yourself when you're out alone." Dodo said.

Du Xinlai's eyes were moist again, she didn't want to be seen anymore, she didn't speak, she opened the door quickly, she wanted to rush into the toilet to wash her face, but at a glance, she saw all kinds of things her favorite food that her mother gave her on the table: dried sweet potatoes, dried eggplant, dried purslane, and pickled radish pickles.

She instantly regretted why she couldn't talk well every time she saw Gao Meihua, and it ended like this every time.

"Dodo, I'll take a shower first."

"Wow, so much food, my aunt is better than my own mother, my mother really can't do anything, she has to be taken care of by others when she is such an adult, I am so old, and I still want to have a second child, second cousin, in fact, you and I are much happier than really." Dodo said while eating dried sweet potatoes.

The water in the bathroom was dripping, and Du Xinlai let the water wash down her face, maybe every family has its own problems, but she always sees the happy side of others and sees her own sad look.

Kevin saw Guo Xiao take out all kinds of pots and pans from the box and felt very strange.

"Lao Guo, are you going to fight in the field? Do you still have your own tools? ”

"What kind of mess?"

"I see that the second cousin's expression is wrong, have you done it?" Kevin asked gossipingly.

"It's not rare, take care of yourself." Although Guo Xiao said this, he turned his back and showed a sweet smile, he was finally not a little transparent in her eyes.
