The alarm went off three times, and it was time to go to the experimental field. Midsummer solstice, but did not stand up.

She was still sitting in her chair, staring at the wedding invitation in her hand in a daze.

Midsummer Solstice is an agricultural college student in this province, this year's Ph.D., studying crop direction, and now cultivating new varieties of watermelons in his hometown village.

The test plot was rented by the school and is a three-hour drive from the university town. She moved back last year, her boyfriend stayed on to work, and the two began a long-distance relationship. Although there is less gathering and more separation, there are no complaints.

Until this morning, she received a wedding invitation from her boyfriend.

She and her boyfriend were childhood sweethearts, from middle school to college, but the other name in his wedding invitation was not her.

In order to stay in school to teach, her boyfriend got together with the daughter of the school leader.

His friends knew, his classmates knew, but she was the last to know.

The ringing of the cell phone interrupts the thoughts of the midsummer solstice. She picked up the phone and said anxiously on the other side:

"Natsu, stay at home. Hurry up, come to the small pier, hurry. ”

The caller's surname is Zhang, a professor at Agricultural University, the senior brother of the mentor of Midsummer Solstice, and an expert in seagrass bed ecological restoration technology and ecological research projects.

Professor Zhang cultivated a seaweed in this area last year, and it is time to accept the results today.

Seagrass beds are distributed in waters at a depth of six metres, and samples are collected by diving underwater. Just this morning, Professor Zhang's student, the only senior brother in the team who can dive, suddenly developed rhinitis, which affected the balance of ear pressure and prevented him from diving.

Because of the hidden companion system, Professor Zhang couldn't go down alone, so he could only temporarily summon the midsummer solstice.

In the middle of summer, her hometown is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and she grew up by the sea and has good water nature.

After hanging up the phone, Midsummer Solstice threw the invitation back on the table, went to the stable to lead his pony, and set off.

The pony was bred by the Agricultural University, and it was born prematurely, and everyone said that it would not live long and that when they wanted to give up, they brought it home in the middle of the summer solstice and grew up with careful care.

There are many dirt roads in the village near the sea, and the roads are narrow, which is not convenient for driving, and it is even more convenient for horseback riding.

In the past few years, in order to develop tourism, the town has expanded the originally small pier and built a lot of landscaping on the beach. It's the off-season, and the huge sculptures stand on the empty sand, looking a little bleak.

Jiang Han sat in the shadow of the building, constantly checking his mobile phone, but still no one called him.

Jiang Han has been working in his own company since graduating from university, and this year is his third year.

The Jiang family is engaged in the catering industry, from high-end restaurants to fast food products, and the industry is very large.

When Jiang Han entered the company, he thought that he was here to do big things, and he easily won tens of millions of contracts while talking and laughing, but he didn't expect his father to press him at the grassroots level, and he turned around every department, and he did all the errands and miscellaneous work.

Jiang Han was dissatisfied, but the labor contract had been signed, and he couldn't go to arbitration with his father, so he could only grit his teeth and insist.

Fortunately, he has a good ability, and in the past three years, he has cultivated himself as the small leader of the sales team, and led the team members to plan several activities, and the results are very good, and the company's sluggish sales performance has increased by nine percentage points.

He thought that he would raise his eyebrows from then on, and get promoted and raised to regain the life of the rich second generation, who knew that his father didn't praise him at all, and yesterday he scolded him for a little thing.

The little things that made him get scolded were really small, worth a few cents.

Yesterday, when Jiang Han was at work, he bumped into the employees of the marketing department and the fruit farmers negotiating the purchase price of apples, and the two argued endlessly over a few cents.

Jiang Han felt that the argument of a few cents was too ridiculous, so he took the initiative to raise the purchase price and gave the fruit farmer an extra three cents per kilogram.

The farmer's apples are not too much, about 500 kilograms, and the company only pays about 100 more yuan.

For Jiang Han, it was not enough for a meal. He didn't take it to heart at all. Until yesterday afternoon, his father called him to the office and scolded him in front of several general managers.

Since he was promoted to team leader, this is the first time his father has shamed him in public.

Young Master Jiang is not a person who swallows his anger, and after knowing that the reason for his scolding is more than 100 yuan, he quarreled with his father for three hours. After that, he ran away from home on the weekend of the next day.

"You didn't even apologize to me?" Jiang Han stared at his phone in disbelief, "I've run out of data, or I don't have a phone bill?" ”

He clicked on the WeChat page, originally wanted to randomly select a person to test it, and found that there was an update in the circle of friends, so he clicked in.

It was his subordinate who sent three dynamic messages in a row, saying that he volunteered to work overtime on weekends, and his life was more bitter than Shuanghuanglian.

Jiang Han doesn't like to work overtime, and he doesn't ask people to work overtime voluntarily. He called his subordinates, "What's the matter, something went wrong with the Qixi Festival project?" ”

'Tanabata' is the day when the sales of the catering industry explode, Jiang Han attaches great importance to this event, and designs marketing plans with his subordinates early.

The subordinate said miserably: "Boss, 'Qixi' is fine." It was Mr. Jiang's side who was urging the sales plan for 'Father's Day'. ”

Jiang Han was puzzled, "Didn't 'Father's Day' be said at the conference next Tuesday, and I had a meeting on Friday to confirm it." ”

The subordinate said: "However, General Assistant Jiang sent me an email at 4 o'clock this morning, urging me to make a plan. ”

The sales growth of 'Father's Day' is not obvious, and there is no need for the big boss to ask in person.

Jiang Han knew that his father was using the matter of the plan to remind him to be a filial child.

Jiang Han said to his subordinates: "Don't do it, take a break, I'll talk to Mr. Jiang." ”

Mr. Jiang's phone was quickly connected. A young voice asked, "Where are you, why didn't you come home last night?" ”

The person who answered the phone was not Mr. Jiang, it was Jiang Guyu. Jiang Han's brother.

Jiang Guyu is nine years older than Jiang Han, and Jiang Han was brought up by him. He has been in poor health since he was a child and has asthma, and Jiang Han has never dared to provoke him.

Jiang Han was half angry, and hummed and said, "I'm doing market research." ”

As soon as his words fell, Mr. Jiang's sneer came out through the earpiece: "If you run away from home, you run away from home, and you also conduct market research, it's really a basin that inlays gold edges for yourself." ”

Jiang Han's anger came up again, imitating his father's tone of scolding him yesterday, and said loudly:

"Some people start work next week two days earlier than others. With such a low work efficiency, what kind of boss are you doing, just resign as soon as possible-"

Jiang Guyu seemed to warn and said, "Jiang Han! Dad is so old, you can't say less. ”

Jiang Han was dissatisfied: "I'm only three years and two hundred months old, why won't he let me." ”

Over there, Mr. Jiang began to curse again. Jiang Guyu said, "You pay attention to safety, come back when you run away from home enough, and there will be a meeting next Tuesday", and then comforted his father.

Jiang Han was angry, and said loudly: "I won't go back, whoever likes to open that broken club will open it!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Han sent a red envelope to his subordinates, which was regarded as overtime pay.

He was upset by this, and the bear children around him chattered and quarreled, which made him even more irritable.

Jiang Han listened casually to a few words, and they were discussing where to catch mermaids.

"What a naïve little brat."

He beckoned to the children and said solemnly, "There are no mermaids in this world." ”

The children didn't believe it. A little fat man gestured, "The one I have seen in the aquarium is a beautiful sister with long hair and a fish tail. ”

"That's a man pretending."

Jiang Han wanted to search for pictures of 'dugong', but he didn't know how to pronounce the word 'gen', so he couldn't get it right after spelling it several times, and finally simply searched for 'manatee', thinking that they were all the same ugly and should look similar.

He circulated pictures to the children and seriously popularized science, "This is the real mermaid, you see that the beautiful sister is fake, and the beautiful sister is pretending." ”

The children couldn't accept such a big gap, one by one, crying loudly.

Jiang Han was a little overwhelmed.

He thought for a while, pointed to the store not far away, and discussed with them, "Don't cry, I'll buy you something delicious, how about it?" ”

In the middle of summer, he bolted his horse and passed by the door of the store, and saw a tall young man coming out of the store and walking towards the little fat man at the door.

Midsummer Solstice thought that his brother took his younger brother out to play, but in the next second, the tall man snatched the ice cream from the little fat man's hand, and the little fat man's eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

What kind of person, actually snatching snacks from children! Midsummer Solstice couldn't stand it anymore, and strode towards the man.

In June, when the inland city is already hot, the seaside is cold, and even at noon, you have to wear long sleeves. Jiang Han came out to check out, saw the little fat man stealing ice cream, worried that he would have a stomach, and immediately confiscated it.

He just wanted to count the little fat man, and the ice cream was taken away again.

Jiang Han turned around and saw that it was a strange girl.

The girl was delicate, with a slightly dark complexion, long hair that was slightly curly, and some sunspots on her face. She wore a white-washed T-shirt and jeans, and her eyes were clear and bright.

She is like a tree in summer, with a calm and vigorous vitality in her, and she doesn't look like a robber at all.

Midsummer Solstice was also looking at the person in front of him.

The boy in front of him has broad shoulders and long legs, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a straight nose. He was wearing a well-textured white shirt and suit pants, and he looked like a master who was not short of money, but he was here to grab snacks for children.

Midsummer Solstice wanted to teach him a lesson, but found that he had just finished scanning the payment code and realized that he had made a mistake, and the ice cream in his hand was hot and her hands hurt.

Jiang Han put away his mobile phone, looked down at the bear child, and then looked at the midsummer solstice, and asked suspiciously: "We, know?" ”

Midsummer Solstice stuffed the ice cream back into Jiang Han's hand expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The ice cream looks delicious, I want to see the brand." ”

With that, he fled without looking back.

She thought she was running fast enough to be embarrassed and couldn't catch up with her.

Unexpectedly, five minutes later, she and Jiang Han sat face to face, looking at each other silently.
