Snow begins to fall at dawn. When Yi Mei got up at nine o'clock, she found that twenty centimeters of snow had accumulated in the yard. White dust still kept falling from the dark sky.

Two hours later, Zhao Kuan's friend Chen Bing will call - In yesterday's phone call, Yi Mei asked the other party to put the time around eleven o'clock. This is because her husband Lu Xin will go out for a walk for an hour with his dog at half past ten every day, although he is the chairman of the company, but because of his advanced age, he only goes to the company two or three times a week, and the secretary of the board of directors of the company will come to the house to report to him. However, looking at the weather, the husband is afraid that he will stay at home all the time. However, as long as you speak properly during the call, it is not too troublesome, but you can't inquire about the specific circumstances of Zhao Kuan, who was arrested by the police, and Li Zhi's death. Of course, in this way, Yi Mei can't help but be a little worried, but as long as she finds an opportunity to let Chen Bing contact again. In short, with only a few words of conversation on the phone, Lu Xin could not have noticed anything.

Breakfast was around ten o'clock. It was cold this morning, so my husband had the toast, ham and omelette and milk brought to the small table in the bedroom. Newspapers and glasses were put aside, Lu Xin nibbled on the toast and sent the ham to his mouth, which was unpleasant. He didn't talk to Yi Mei in front of him much.

"Is it snowing so hard that you can't stop?" Lu Xin muttered.

The snow continued to fall on the bare magnolia branches, constantly

Increasing thickness.

"Maybe it'll stop in a little while." Yi Mei

Say.

Just when Yi Mei was expecting that the snow would stop and her husband would put on his shoes and go out, Lu Xin said, "There is a meeting in the branch at eleven o'clock, you can help me prepare." ”

I didn't expect my husband to go to the company on such a day. Of course, it is good for the husband to go out before eleven o'clock, but does the so-called "preparation" mean driving him? Yi Mei was about to refuse, but looked at Lu Xin, but saw him stand up.

"Your toes may be cold today, didn't someone send a pair of thick pure wool socks at the end of last year, you go and bring it."

"Then, you have someone call right away

Taxi coming. ”

Lu Xin didn't plan to ask Yi Mei to drive in the first place. Every time I take Yimei's car, she takes the initiative to take it, not to mention that it has snowed so heavily this morning. Yi Mei told the maid to make a call, and her tone became cheerful.

"Do you want to go to the company on such a day?"

Yi Mei is courteous, and she will do this when she is in a good mood

Do it.

"Hmm."

Lu Xin put on the new socks he brought. The feet protruding from the trouser legs lacked luster and were white and dry.

"Isn't it going to be busy?"

"No, I'll only go two or three times a week."

The maid conveyed the taxi company's response, saying that because of the heavy snowfall, the cars had gone out, and one should be back in another thirty minutes. Look at the watch, thirty minutes later, it's half past ten. It will take you another twenty minutes to get here.

If Chen Bing called during this period, it would be helpless.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Mei came to the living room, only to see Lu Xin wearing a suit and opening the newspaper he had read again.

Yi Mei kept a distance and stood by the door to watch the snow, when Lu Xin said to his wife with a little hesitation, "I said ......"

"What?" Yi Mei just stood and replied, this

It's a habit when she's in a bad mood.

"When I go to the company today, I will settle the matter of stenographer by the way. There is a man in the company who is familiar with this aspect. Lu Xin looked at Yi Mei and said.

"Okay." Yi Mei replied.

Yi Mei deliberately replied indifferently. This is also to leave a trick for Chen Bing when he calls, and put on an unhappy appearance, so that her husband will not get close to the telephone if he has scruples.

"It depends on how the contract is signed, and I don't know what will happen in the end, so I ask the stenographer to come home three times a week. You may have to cook for someone else sometimes. ”

"Okay. Is it going to last a long time? ”

"After all, it's an autobiography. I want to start with my parents, a little bit of reminiscence, a little bit of narration. Because it's the first time I've written it, I don't know if it's going well, and I'll give up if I don't think it's going well. ”

"It's hard to write it once, isn't it good to stick to it

？ ”

"Well, how can I say it, no one can do it if I don't try it

I don't know. ”

"Sometimes, though, you can call a stenographer to the office. Your office should be quiet, right? ”

"Well, that's the way it ......"

Lu Xin's response was very hesitant, he reached for his face and slowly took off his glasses, as if to hide his expression.

“…… Even if it's my office, after all, it's in the company, and I can't let a stenographer in because of such a personal matter, and I can't calm down. Of course, it shouldn't matter if you go every once in a while. ”

Yi Mei often thinks about the age difference between herself and Lu Xin because of something. Even if he is thirty years old, if Lu Xin lives a long life, he will be one year older if he lives one more year, and his future will gradually narrow. That being said, now he won't be able to die right away. For some reason, Yi Mei thinks that another three years is ideal. She always felt that her happiness, her design for the future, and all her interests were all in the past three years.

For the next three years, a way must be made to keep the old protector alive. For this reason, Yi Mei intends to tolerate the little pastime of writing an autobiography, and let me use it as a nourishment. In addition, in this way, she herself can enjoy the right to free time.

"All right, then call the stenographer to the house. Yi Mei perked up, and even her tone changed.

"It's only two or three hours a day, so you don't have to do it

Mobilize the people. ”

"If you get it in the evening and cook someone or something, no problem. Don't you need any special equipment? ”

"Ah, that's not necessary, just use an existing desk."

Lu Xin's face also became brighter.

"When does it start?"

"I can't say exactly. I'll wait until I discuss it with that guy today and listen to the other party's reply. I'm not in a hurry here. ”

Taxi arrived.

"Really? When Lu Xin heard the notice, he said "Hi Yo" energetically, and stood up with his hand on the chair.

Yi Mei followed him to the entrance, and at this moment, the phone behind him rang. "Shaji, you come to take care of the chairman."

Lu Xin paused, most likely thinking that the call was made to him. Yi Mei hurriedly said that the clothing store said that she would call today, she gave the maid a look, and reflexively went back to the house. Lu Xin's footsteps headed towards the entrance.

Yi Mei picked up the earpiece and said "hello".

"Is it ma'am?" It was the voice of the same Chen Bing yesterday

Sound.

"Yes."

"I called you as you commanded

。 ”

"Okay."

Yi Mei listened to the movement of the hallway with one ear. There was the sound of a hard object touching the ground, and Lu Xin seemed to be putting on his shoes.
