Chapter 10 Chapter nine

There are still two days before the holiday, and the publishing house has become much deserted.Xiaoxi sent away an author who came to talk about the manuscript, got on the elevator, got out of the elevator, hesitated at the elevator door, and went in the opposite direction instead of going to Dongtou her office.The third room is in the west.He Jianguo called and said that he would treat her to a big dinner tonight. At home, he seemed guilty and wanted to make some compensation.So, she thought of Jian Jia.She has always wanted to talk to Jian Jia, but there has been no reason.This seemed to be an excuse to invite her to eat a feast cooked by He Jianguo at home.

Xiaoxi pondered his words while walking towards Jian Jia's office.Jian Jia loves the dishes made by He Jianguo very much, but she will definitely not go with her just to settle down with her just for a meal.It was a bit unexpected that this matter had come to such an extent this time. She hadn't expected Jian Jia to make such a big move for this reason. She was transferred from the sixth section and resigned from the position of deputy director.But think about it for her. You firmly oppose letting her be your sister-in-law. You clearly dislike her. If you despise her, she still wants to see you. Isn't it awkward?But she can tell her, she said, she will be transferred away, without an official, and she will be an editor everywhere, so there is no loss, but for Jian Jia's transfer, from deputy director to ordinary editor, she will lose more than 1,000 yuan a month What a dollar!That is to say, what kind of favor and burden is it for Xiaoxi to let others lose the money?This is all secondary, the most important thing is that Xiaoxi has lost Jian Jia as a friend from now on.In the past, whenever something happened to her, she wanted to talk to Jian Jia, even if it couldn't solve the problem, it was good to talk.For example, He Jianguo asked her to go home with him for the New Year. If it had been in the past, at least Jian Jia would have accompanied her to the supermarket to help her buy things. In that way, that boring process would have turned into an entertaining process.It's not only interesting for two people to go shopping together, but they can also accuse He Jianguo and He Jianguo, laugh at them, and let off steam.It's impossible now.Xiaoxi doesn’t have many friends. In fact, everyone doesn’t have many friends in the strict sense. The kind of friends who don’t communicate with each other in life, but can talk to each other spiritually and meet spiritual needs at a high level. Not many, not many. There will be many, as the saying goes, it is rare to have a confidant in life.Jian Jia and Xiao Xi are friends in this "high level" sense.Now, the friends of more than ten years, the friends from the girlhood to the present, are gone.Of course, there are a lot of misunderstandings and communication is needed.When two friends have conflicts, whoever is more unfortunate has more initiative.In this conflict, Jian Jia lost the position of deputy director at work, and lost the person she liked emotionally. Now that the Spring Festival is here, she is alone and alone, obviously, much more unfortunate than Xiaoxi.It is inevitable and appropriate for Xiaoxi to take the initiative to make a gesture of reconciliation.So Xiaoxi decided to have a good talk with Jian Jia before leaving, before going to He Jianguo.As Xiaoxi was walking, he suddenly had an idea.Let’s just say that He Jianguo’s big meal is specially prepared for Jian Jia.If someone cooks for her and invites her to go, if she can't make up her mind to go, it will be hypocritical.And Jian Jia is not a hypocritical person.Thinking of this, I felt a little bit at a loss, and walked towards the third room with a lot of lightness.

Jian Jia sat alone in the office of the third room and looked out the window.Across the street is a large shopping mall.On Christmas, there was an advertisement of "20% off for Christmas", and later the word "Christmas" was replaced with "New Year's Day", and a powerful exclamation point was added after "20% off", which was considered "Happy New Year's Day" up.New Year's Day specifications are not as good as Christmas.Later, when New Year's Day passed, it was replaced by "Spring Festival" celebrations, and the exclamation marks became a long series.The store probably thought that if the exclamation point was used like an ellipsis, it would bring a series of surprises.

For Jian Jia, the Spring Festival is a cruel festival, which exposes her loneliness and misfortune to the broad daylight, leaving her nowhere to hide.The home cannot be returned, because it is not only the father's home, but also the home of the father, another woman and their children.Now, their children live in Jian Jia's former room.When Jian Jia went back, she had to make a bed in the living room.By then she will be tired, and so will my father and others.In the past Spring Festival, she had Liu Kairui at any rate. Although she couldn't accompany her, she always had a spiritual and emotional home, not to mention that he could pay for her to go abroad, which was also a kind of compensation.Some time ago, she was also eagerly looking forward to this year's Spring Festival, and together with Xiaohang, she was eagerly looking forward to it, discussing how to use and live the seven-day long vacation together, and talked about many specific details.After chatting, I found out that Xiaohang also has similar feelings to her about the Spring Festival. Although he has both parents, for a boy in his twenties, his parents' home, strictly speaking, is no longer his home. up.He should have a home of his own.Normally, he doesn’t care if he has a job or friends, but when the Spring Festival comes, his job and friends all disappear, which makes him feel the loneliness of being alone in the world.She and Xiaohang really have a lot in common, but unfortunately, there is no possibility for the two of them.

In order to prevent Xiaohang from following her, Xiaoxi's mother even came forward to introduce her a boyfriend, and specially invited her to her home for this reason, in front of Xiaohang.It took a lot of pains.Introducing her boyfriend in front of Xiaohang is to cut off her thoughts, and to cut off her thoughts is to cut off Xiaohang's way out.Their arrangement, every detail, every sentence, has something to point to and hint to.For example, Xiaoxi's mother asked Jian Jia how old she was this year, and Jian Jia told her how old she was, and Xiaoxi said, marry early, age is a treasure - this is to remind her of the fact that she is older than Xiaohang.What Xiaoxi’s mother introduced to her was the orthopedic doctor in her hospital. They were sitting in the living room with the TV on, and SHE came out to sing on the TV, "You are light, you are electricity, you are the only myth... YOU ARE MY SUPERSTAR...you are the super shining star in my life, you are my only admiration and only love, and I am willing to do everything for you...." At this time, Gu Xiaoxi touched the remote control, bang, turn it off TV, and said: "Who is the only one? That is nonsense when you are in love!" This is to remind her: Don't think that love can really conquer everything.Then Xiaoxi's mother started talking about the orthopedic doctor.At this time, Jian Jia looked at Xiaohang from the corner of her eye.Xiaohang didn't look at anyone and concentrated on peeling a pear, disappointing Jianjia.The orthopedic doctor is a doctor, fifteen years older than her, divorced and childless.Gu Xiaoxi was probably afraid that she would be unhappy, so she couldn't find someone who was never married?Out of politeness, she said, she is already this old, no matter how many years older a man is, there are very few unmarried men.At this time, Xiaohang, who had been silent all this time, said: "Why does the man have to be older?" Xiaoxi gave him a look: "There is no reason, it is a convention. Mom, you can continue!" Xiaoxi's mother said: "That man's business is very good. Be serious and responsible at work..." At this time Xiaoxi said again—innocently—and said: "Mom, Jian Jia is looking for a husband, not a doctor! You have to tell someone how much he earns, whether he has a garage or not, and what about his parents What's your personality!..." Jian Jia interrupted her pretentiousness, and said bluntly: "I just feel that I am a little older in age!" Xiaoxi said: "It doesn't matter that men are older than women. It's okay. Look, they are all over 50!" Xiao Hang said: "It doesn't matter if the women are a little older than the men!" Xiao Xi said: "That's what you said!" Xiao Hang said: "It's true! Like Rosalind, Duras, and Mrs. Browning, some of them are not even a little bit older than men, in their teens or twenties!" Xiaoxi said: "These people you mentioned are all foreigners, right? This is China. China has China's national conditions. China thrives on males and females. A man in his 80s can find a woman in his 20s. Try the other way around? Spit can drown you! "

Jian Jia thanked Xiaohang for not keeping silent, and thanked him for being willing to fight them in front of her, but she still couldn't help but feel awkward and a little restless, so she got up to leave, so Xiaohang offered to see them off.It was already dark at that time, and the wind was still blowing. The Gu family could not object but refused to agree.That's when Xiaoxi said that she would go with her to see her off.So, threesome.After getting in the car, Gu Xiaoxi sat in the passenger seat, and Jian Jia sat in the back seat. They were silent all the way, and the car was filled with unspeakable subtleties.After sending Jian Jia away, the siblings went back—the following scenes were later relayed by Xiao Hang to Jian Jia——Gu Xiaoxi said, “Xiao Hang, what do you mean?”

"what do you mean?" "It doesn't matter if a woman is older than a man..." "Does it matter?" "If you mean it in general, it doesn't matter!" "That's what I said! Is that why you insist on sending her off with me?" "yes." "If I really have this idea, do you think you can stop it like this?" "Xiaohang, don't mess around! Let me tell you, Jian Jia is not a girl in her early twenties. When the time comes, you can break up if you want to. You don't care, but she can't be hurt anymore!" Xiaohang didn't give any explanation. .Xiaoxi paused for a moment, and said earnestly: "She is beautiful, she is indeed beautiful, even a person of the same sex as me likes her and likes to go out with her, I am really proud to have such a beautiful friend by my side, let alone you? I understand you. My opinion It’s okay to make ordinary friends and play together; seriously, no!” Xiaohang still didn’t speak.Xiaoxi pushed Xiaohang: "You are still real!"

"Sister, don't move around, I'm driving now!" Xiaoxi was really anxious: "Tell you Xiaohang, Jian Jia has never forgotten Liu Kairui in her heart, otherwise, with her current conditions, why can't she marry if she wants to marry?" ", make persistent efforts: "You have a lot of things that Liu Kairui can't match, ah, young, healthy, sunny-but, but can you guarantee that you can have a future like Liu Kairui? Speaking of returning, what women value more is still A man's business." "How do you know I can't have a career?"

"I mean, take precautions before they happen. If you want to find someone, find someone who can share weal and woe with you!" "I feel that Jian Jia is a person who can share hardships. If she only wanted Liu Kairui's money, she wouldn't return the car and house to him." "You are stupid, you! That just proves that she still has hope in him in her heart! Real couples get divorced, and they still get a house and land, but she is lucky. Speaking of Xiaohang, if Liu Kairui is willing to marry her and Jian Jian can turn around immediately, the two of them will not be broken at all! If you get involved at this time, who will be injured by then? Think for yourself!"

"You are psychologically dark!" "I'm so clear-headed! To be honest, don't talk about Jian Jia, I have to do the same, because, only this, I can't prove my true love for you! Xiaohang, you and Jian Jia are playing with fire now .You don’t have a girlfriend, you’re alone. She’s lost love and can’t sleep alone. She wants to find someone to accompany her. What’s your name? You are thirsty for a while, and when the medicine takes effect, you both have to stop eating!" Xiaohang just remained silent.Xiaoxi said anxiously: "Tell you Xiaohang, our mother has a bad heart! I don't care what you like to drink to quench your thirst, but with our mother, you can't think about it!"

When I got home, my mother was answering the phone. After putting down the phone, the siblings entered the door. My mother told Xiaohang that you just came back and told you that an aunt called you and introduced a girl——I didn’t let my mother finish talking. Xiaoxi interjected coldly: "How old is the girl?" Twenty-two. "Too young! Xiaohang likes the big sister type!" Xiaohang didn't speak, went into his room and slammed the door.Xiaoxi's mother sighed, and Xiaoxi said, "Don't bother with him!" Then she said, "Mom, the orthopedic doctor, help Jian Jia! By the way, don't tell others about Jian Jia and Liu Kairui. If you do, he will definitely Don't do it!" Dad Xiaoxi, who was reading the newspaper, said: "People are not sages, so no one has made mistakes. There is nothing good about making mistakes and correcting them. In the matter with Liu Kairui, Jian Jia made a mistake, and she knew it—" "—Knowing mistakes and correcting mistakes is a good comrade! But, Dad, if someone introduces this 'good comrade' to your son as your daughter-in-law, what will you think?...Is it unacceptable?...Dad , people, you have to compare your heart with your heart!" At this time, the door of Xiaohang's room opened with a "wow", Xiaohang appeared at the door, pointed at Xiaoxi's nose and said, "Gu Xiaoxi! I'm ignoring you, don't stop talking!" The siblings immediately quarreled.Needless to say, the parents are on the side of my sister... The experience of that day and the subsequent events relayed by Xiaohang made Jian Jia finally understand the eternal truth with personal experience, that marriage is not simply a matter of two people.Her love for Xiaohang has not wavered and has not changed, but at the same time she is clearly aware that the attitude of Xiaohang's family towards their son will not waver and will never change.Even if Xiaohang is willing to give up his family for her, but if so, will they be happy?Will not.After weighing, she could only choose to give up. At the same time that she decided to leave Xiaohang, Jian Jia decided to transfer out of the sixth room.She couldn't do it and had to face Gu Xiaohang's sister Gu Xiaoxi every day after this, it would be a painful torture for her.There is a deputy director in the third editorial room, it doesn't matter, she can be her editor; the beautiful woman director of the third editorial office is known as a harsh person, it doesn't matter, as long as she does her job well, no matter how harsh she is, she can handle it well. how is she Xiaoxi pushed open the half-hidden door of the third room, and immediately saw Jian Jia who was staring out the window in a daze.She became even thinner, and when viewed from the side, she became a thin piece.Sighing softly in my heart, I walked over. "Jian Jia." Jian Jia turned her head and smiled politely, without answering or asking.Xiaoxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Do you have any plans for the evening?" "What's your business?" Xiaoxi thought for a while, before saying anything about inviting Jian Jia to dinner, she said, "I have to go to He Jianguo for the Spring Festival." His voice was painful.The best way to comfort others is to tell others about your misfortune, but Jian Jia just nodded without expressing anything.Xiaoxi asked again, "How did you spend the Spring Festival?" "On duty." Xiaoxi gasped.Being on duty during the Spring Festival meant that she was alone in this empty building during the seven days of the Spring Festival. "Oh, it's not easy. Jian Jia, you must accept my lesson when you get married in the future. First of all, the person must at least have a car and a house and both parents died!" The original intention was to say a witty remark to adjust the dull atmosphere in the room, but Jian Jia's face became serious instead, and she said seriously: "Xiaoxi, you know that Xiaohang and I have broken up!" She actually took Xiaoxi's witty remark as some kind of hint. Xiaoxi sighed, and decided to get straight to the point, otherwise, with their current relationship, it would be easy to cause misunderstandings if they couldn't say a word. "Jian Jia, if you don't have any plans tonight, why don't you come to my house?" Then he explained, "My own house. He Jianguo asked me to invite you to go, saying that he was cooking and inviting us to a big meal at home!  … ...He's already started preparing." Jian Jia narrowed her eyes: "Why did he invite me?" Xiaoxi was stunned: "Of course it's for us...Jian Jia, there is some misunderstanding between us..." Jian Jia waved her hand to interrupt her: "There is no misunderstanding between us!" Xiaoxi's stomach full of words came to his mouth all of a sudden, did he misunderstand?What a misunderstanding!Speaking of close, she and Xiaohang, even if Xiaoxi does not object and Xiaoxi supports, can they succeed?At the last moment, we have to leave!Her parents would never agree.In this sense, Xiaoxi is helping Jian Jia, otherwise, we will break up at the end, not to mention wasting time - she is a woman in her thirties and she can't afford to delay. — Emotionally more painful.To put it far, the so-called "embarrassment" she gave Jian Jia during that meeting was really not for Jian Jia. She had something in her heart and her family that time, and she stayed up almost all night about Jianguo. My heart is not in the office at all! ... When she almost blurted out these words, her cell phone rang.He Jianguo called and told her again about the "big meal" that night.Tell her to go home and eat anyway, and not to buy anything.She didn't tell He Jianguo on the phone that she would invite Jian Jia to go, based on this consideration: first, she was not sure whether Jian Jia would go so far; second, she couldn't tell.Jian Jia was right next to her. If she said that Jian Jia was going, wouldn't it mean that the "big meal" was a lie specially prepared for Jian Jia?Besides, there is no need to tell He Jianguo that the quality of his cooking is guaranteed.Jian Jia went, it was really a matter of more people and more chopsticks.While talking to He Jianguo, Xiaoxi made a decision, go home and talk about everything.Talk at the dining table, amidst the rich aroma of dishes and a strong family atmosphere; in an environment like an office, it is difficult to keep your heart open, and it is easy to arouse antagonism and confrontation.After putting away the phone, she smiled at Jian Jia and said, "He Jianguo. I'm here again to ask if you can go. He's already prepared. He told me not to buy anything, and told you to go." Jian Jia was moved in her heart.Why was Jianguo moved by Xiaoxi's affection.Why did He Jianguo invite her to dinner, because of Xiaoxi.Maybe, this might be the exchange between Xiaoxi and him, otherwise, she wouldn't go back to Hejiacun with him.At the same time, it can also be seen that Xiaoxi is sincere to her.That is to say, whether she goes or not is no longer her own business, but also concerns others.At the same time, regardless of all the background of the treat, Jian Jia is eager to have a home-cooked meal at home for the first time!Since breaking up with Xiaohang and Xiaoxi at the same time, there are very few places for her to go at night, and as the year approaches, she simply has nowhere to go.At this time, Xiaoxi said again: "Go, ah, Jian Jia?" There was pleading in his voice.So Jian Jia nodded.Xiaoxi felt relieved, and at the same time warned: "Let's not eat at noon, save your stomach, and have a big meal in the evening." Jian Jia nodded again, and Xiaoxi didn't need to ask for the latter point at all.Jian Jia's desire for food is more than ordinary people. This afternoon, both of them worked late in their respective offices. One was that they had a lot of things to do and wanted to relax before the festival, and the other was that they were both thinking about the "big meal" at night and would go back later. , stepping on the dot to go back, back home, in front of you is a table of sumptuous delicacies! He Jianguo prepared the "big meal" at home alone.The so-called big meal refers to the leftovers he packed back from a meal with a client a few days ago.He knew that Xiaoxi was opposed to eating leftovers, so he didn't intend to let her eat them at first, he just wanted to eat them slowly by himself.But considering that he was about to go home for the Chinese New Year and couldn't finish it alone, he decided to ask Xiaoxi to eat it together.Wouldn't it be a waste if I couldn't finish it?All good stuff.Plate the dishes one by one and heat them through in the microwave.A fish was eaten with only half of its body left. Use two pairs of chopsticks to carefully turn the meaty side upside down, and it looks good.Putting it in the microwave for a spin—this is the last dish—just as it was spinning, the door opened, and Xiao Xi and Jian Jia arrived, and they said they would arrive by the time of meal!Seeing Jian Jia behind Xiaoxi, He Jianguo was stunned.But none of the two noticed his emotions, they rushed to the bathroom to wash their hands, their empty stomachs and the smell of vegetables in the room were pleasant. The three sat down at the table. Leftovers are still leftovers no matter how whole they are.Xiaoxi resisted not speaking for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw his chopsticks: "He Jianguo, what do you mean?" "I didn't know that Jian Jia was coming...you didn't tell me..." Jian Jia heard this and looked at Xiaoxi, didn't she say that He Jianguo invited her here?Xiaoxi didn't dare to look at her, so she redoubled her anger on He Jianguo. "Didn't you say on the phone that you would treat me to a big meal?" "Isn't this rich enough? Fish, shrimp, meat, eggs, vegetables, what?" "And repeatedly told me not to buy anything - you just want me to help you eat the leftovers!" Caught between the two quarreling couples, Jian Jia was very embarrassed: "Okay, Xiaoxi, there's nothing wrong with leftovers..." Faced with Jian Jia, Xiao Xi had no face, and could only get angry at He Jianguo. Otherwise, he would not be able to express his apology to Jian Jia: "You packed it from the restaurant, right? I don't know who's spitting on it." Well, I don’t even know if there is hepatitis B and AIDS bird flu!” "It's been sterilized in the microwave!" Jian Jia hurriedly said: "Xiaoxi, He Jianguo is right, I didn't read the newspapers and advocated to take away the leftovers when eating in a restaurant—" Xiaoxi was even more afraid to look at Jian Jia, at this time there should be a crack in the floor for her to crawl in.If there is a big meal at home, even if she lied, saying that it is specially prepared for Jian Jia, that is also a white lie, but now it is good, after finally inviting him over, the table at home turned out to be a table full of leftovers vegetable.Eating leftovers is an old habit of He Jianguo.When I usually eat, even if there is a sip of vegetable soup left, I have to save it for the next meal and drink it.He was not allowed to stay, so he drank it at the time, and he had to drink it even if he was dying, saying that he was afraid of wasting it.Talking about him is plausible, is there anything wrong with saying that you are afraid of wasting?The problem is, you are already full, and you can’t absorb it even if you eat it hard. Maybe you have to hold on, and once you are full, you will vomit and have diarrhea, and you will spend more than 500 yuan in the emergency department of the hospital!She didn't bother to say anything to He Jianguo anymore, so she moved the leftovers onto a plate and said, "You can't eat leftovers. Now the newspaper says that you can't eat leftovers, because there are nitrites..." He Jianguo is ignorant of current affairs: "Can you believe what is written in the newspaper? One day it says it's better to sleep with your head facing east, the next day you say it's better to face west, the day after tomorrow you say it's better to face north, and the day after tomorrow you'll see, it's sure to say head facing south again! If you listen It’s on the report, our bed has to be fitted with a wheel!” Xiaoxi smiled wryly at Jian Jia: "Have you seen it? Did Jian Jia see it? It's just such a person, it's unreasonable at all." Jian Jia said to He Jianguo: "It is true that the leftover vegetables are not edible, and there are indeed nitrites." In order to balance the relationship, she said to Xiaoxi, "But there is no problem with protein—" He Jianguo still doesn't shut up! "Vegetables are fine! Every family in our village has come here for generations. They eat the leftovers at noon at night, and eat the leftovers at night the next day. I haven't seen anyone poisoned to death." "Your village? It's okay not to mention your village! Your village is a negative example! Either this disease or that disease, and the average life expectancy is only over fifty!" "Okay, okay, don't mention our village, our village is poor behind us, and the people are poor, so they have no right to speak. Let's talk about the rich——Korea, is Korea rich? What is the national dish of Korea? Kimchi! What is kimchi? Its properties and chemical composition are no different from leftovers!" Xiaoxi couldn't think of words to fight back for a while, He Jianguo smiled complacently, picked up his chopsticks and chomped.Little Sirah Jianjia left, saying she was going out to eat.Jian Jia is in a difficult situation between the couple, whether to leave or stay. "You tell her to go!" He Jianguo said to Jian Jia, squinting at Xiaoxi. Jian Jia reprimanded him: "Don't get angry! To be honest, He Jianguo, I think you are wrong about this." "Why am I wrong?" "You have your living habits, Xiaoxi has Xiaoxi's living habits. If the economy really doesn't allow it, we should live a little more frugally, but aren't we not at that level now..." "So it should be wasted?" Xiaoxi said to Jian Jia: "He is like this, he can't explain it, so he secretly changed the concept!" He said to He Jianguo, "You want to use your stomach as a trash can, but I don't want to!" Jian Jia said to Xiaoxi again: "You should not say a few words!" Then she said to He Jianguo: "I don't want you to waste it. Think about it, how many meals can a person eat in a lifetime? One meal is less, why? Can’t be nicer to yourself? I think, if conditions permit, people should learn to enjoy life.” He Jianguo ate leftovers: "Is it necessary to learn to enjoy life? When I have too much money to spend—" Xiaoxi continued: "——I'll go buy soy milk, buy two bowls, drink one bowl and pour another bowl!" He Jianguo was so angry that he couldn't speak.Jian Jia took this opportunity to get up and say goodbye, Xiao Xi chased her out. "Jian Jia, listen to me—" "It's okay, Xiaoxi, it's okay, isn't it just a meal?" She never gave her a chance to explain.Even if she asked her to explain, how could she explain?After returning home, Xiaoxi yelled at He Jianguo: "Do you know how difficult it is for me to invite Jian Jia? I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Jian Jia to ease the relationship, but in the end, it was all up to you It's messed up! . . . " He Jianguo just didn't speak and let her speak.I felt deep sadness in my heart, because of the endless big and small differences between the two. Xiaohang regrets that his sister is going to Hejia Village to celebrate the New Year.It's not that he doesn't want to part with his sister, he hasn't talked much to his sister so far because of Jian Jia's matter.To his regret, they, mainly brother-in-law, would come back for the New Year if they didn't go back to Hejiacun. At least, the whole family's cooking problem would be solved this Spring Festival, and one brother-in-law would count as ten.The canteen does not work during the Spring Festival, and my parents are a little worried about this matter, and even quarreled with each other.Even during the Spring Festival, my mother has to visit the ward every day, and always hopes to rest when I go home; and my father can't cook.It’s not that I haven’t learned and tried it, but the result is that half the effort is half the effort, no, no, no, it’s not even "half". The dishes he cooks are unpalatable, and he can also make the kitchen utterly devastated. It takes up all the countertops, and a large part of the ground has to be used. To cook a meal, he and his mother have to follow behind for a long time to clean up.In this regard, my brother-in-law deeply admires Gu Xiaohang, he is also a man, how can he be so capable?For example, this afternoon, he and his sister came back to say goodbye before leaving. It was almost five o'clock when they entered the house. He entered the kitchen alone, chattering, and dinner was ready on time at six o'clock.Four dishes and one soup, rice.He went to the kitchen to see that not only was it not messy at all, it was much neater than before he entered.Xiaohang doesn't know how to cook, and he doesn't like to cook. This is probably due to the inheritance from his father.However, he likes to eat, and his level is high, so he can be regarded as half a gourmet.When a friend eats, as long as he is there, he will order the dishes, and the dishes he orders can achieve the best value for money.Just because he knew how to order food, he ate countless extra meals that he shouldn't have eaten.Knowing how to order food is also a talent. At this moment, my brother-in-law is washing dishes in the kitchen and let the family talk in the living room. My sister is leaving.Although my mother is an expert and authoritative, she speaks loudly outside, but when she comes home, "mother" shows her true colors, and she babbles endlessly because her sister is going back to Hejia Village for the New Year.Find out a lot of medicines, and explain each one of them: berberine—even if there are medicines, you can't be too careless when eating, and you must pay attention to hygiene.Vitamin C Yinqiao, you can use it at the beginning of a cold, once you start to have a fever, you have to go to the hospital, if there is no hospital, go to the health center, have your blood checked, and get some fluids.Be sure to bring anti-cracking oil. When you arrive at your husband’s house, you can’t stop working at all. The conditions in the countryside are limited. If your hands are cold and cracked, apply some oil. ... Xiaohang listened disdainfully: "Mom, she is going to her in-law's house to celebrate the New Year, why does it sound like you are sending off your son on a long march!" Xiaoxi's father glanced at the kitchen and scolded his son, "Slow down, so your brother-in-law can hear you!" Xiaoxi's mother sighed: "That's right. People live there all year round. Xiaoxi, you just went to celebrate the Spring Festival. What's the matter? You should do your preparations, but in terms of thinking, you can't be too squeamish about yourself." Xiaoxi's father turned his face and shouted to the kitchen: "Jianguo, you have to catch the train tomorrow, so go back early today. Leave the kitchen alone." He Jianguo came out of the kitchen wiping his hands when he heard the sound, and said with a silly smile that he had already cleaned up.Xiaoxi’s mother mentioned the preserved fruit, saying that Xiaohang bought it specially for his family, “Take it back and share it with the children. You have a lot of children in your family.” Xiaoxi immediately said that there are too many, and you can’t count the ones running on the bare ground. Come.Xiaoxi's mother frowned and stared at Xiaoxi, and took another big bag: "These are clothes that are not worn at home, and they are quite new."He Jianguo bowed and took it: "Thank you, Mom." Xiaoxi said nothing with a mournful face.Xiaoxi's mother glanced at her daughter, and said to her son: "Xiaohang, take your sister and brother-in-law!" Xiaohang said let's put it aside, and pull them together when he takes them to the station tomorrow.Now he doesn't want to move, and has been running around the construction site during the day. He Jianguo hurriedly said: "No need for Xiaohang to send it. There is no need to send such a small thing. The things still have to be taken back tonight and packed in boxes." Xiaoxi said: "But Xiaohang, you must go tomorrow! If you don't go, we will never be able to leave. The things we bring are enough to open a small supermarket!" ………… The taxi stopped in the community, and Xiaoxi and He Jianguo unloaded things from the car. To be exact, He Jianguo unloaded things from the car, and Xiaoxi stood aside and watched, feeling worried just by looking at it. "It's so easy to celebrate the Spring Festival. It's more tiring than going to work. I have traveled thousands of miles on trains and cars. Otherwise, the New Year is like passing the customs. It's really a punishment for passing the customs, and it's a crime paid for." He Jianguo just didn't say a word, and let her talk.He had the upper hand in fact, so he had to let her speak more.Otherwise, the relationship between husband and wife cannot be balanced.Xiaoxi is still saying: "You said that everything in our country is now in line with the international standards. Why can't it be in line with the international standards during the Spring Festival? Like people in the United States, parents raise their children until they are eighteen years old, and then they say goodbye. No one owes anyone. Think about it , just go and have a look; have something to do, each busy. No one will accuse you of being impersonal or unfilial because of this....In ancient times, it was better than we are now. Good filial piety to parents can be recommended to be an official. Our generation is good, we can’t rely on both! Modern, modern can’t get the same benefits as people in the United States; traditional, can’t get the benefits of ancient times...” He Jianguo kept silent, so all Xiaoxi's words were for nothing.He Jianguo is now adopting a "don't tell" policy. The next day, Xiaohang drove his sister and brother-in-law to Beijing Railway Station. The trunk was packed to the brim, and there were still some things that couldn't fit in the back seat.There was a red light all the way, and halfway through the road, Xiaoxi suddenly yelled that he had forgotten his ID card, which was in the drawer in the office.Their ticket is a soft sleeper, and the soft sleeper needs to check the ID card.Even if you don't check, you should bring your ID card with you just in case.This matter can only be referred to Jian Jia. At this time, only Jian Jia who is on duty is left in the office building.But, how dare you find someone?The relationship has always been tense. If there was really a "big meal" last night, it would be easier to speak up today-thinking of this, I started to get angry with He Jianguo again. "It's all your fault!" "Hey, how can you blame me for forgetting to take your ID card?" "If it weren't for your broken leftovers from yesterday, I would be able to ask Jian Jia to help me with this today!" "You think that Jian Jia is as shallow as you!...Hurry up and call Jian Jia!" Xiaohang, who was driving in front, listened, and never said a word or expressed his opinion.In fact, besides being embarrassed to ask Jian Jia for help, Xiaoxi also had a large part of the reason because she didn't want Jian Jia and Xiaohang to meet.Of course Xiaohang understands this, so he never speaks.In his heart, he felt that his sister was redundant, and now he had decided to make a new choice. He had agreed to go to the home of a girl in Corey whom his mother had introduced during the Spring Festival.He had already had initial contact with the girl.The mother urged them to get in touch further, and urged him to go to the girl's house to see the elders during the Spring Festival. Xiaoxi had no choice but to call Jian Jia shamelessly. Jian Jia readily agreed to take her directly to Beijing Railway Station, and made an appointment to meet her at the place where the platform tickets were sold. Breathe a sigh of relief. Beijing Railway Station was crowded with people, and policemen maintaining order could be seen everywhere. Passengers were repeatedly reminded to pay attention to their belongings on the radio. ...Xiaoxi and his party walked over.Xiaoxi was carrying his own bag and dragging a box in his hand, Xiaohang was carrying a travel bag in one hand, He Jianguo was carrying a huge woven bag on his shoulder, his head was pressed to one side, and he was carrying a bag in the other hand. Big bag, the description is extremely embarrassing, where is there a shadow of Bae Yong Joon?The whole thing is a migrant worker!It made Xiaoxi miserable.Simply divert your eyes and don't look at them, out of sight and out of mind. Jian Jia had arrived at the place where platform tickets were sold, and was looking around when suddenly her eyes lit up, and she saw Xiaohang who was with Xiaoxi and the others.She didn't expect him to be there, subconsciously raising her arms high and screaming loudly, her voice was full of joy.This is the first meeting between Jian Jia and Xiaohang since they decided to break up. They thought that the matter was over, but unexpectedly, they realized that nothing had passed and everything was as usual.She did, and felt it immediately, and so did he.In order to cover up, Jian Jia didn't look at Xiaohang, only looked at Xiaoxi, at the same time she had nothing to say: "Bring so many things!" Xiaoxi said: "Yes, yes. If you know, you understand that we are returning home; if you don't know, you think we are fleeing famine!" Jian Jia and Xiao Hang turned their faces away at the same time when they heard this, for fear of laughing on the spot.Laughing at this time is like adding fuel to the fire, He Jianguo's face is already as hard as marble.Xiaohang put down her things to buy a platform ticket, Jian Jia asked her to buy one too, it would be better if one more person gave it to her.I didn't expect them to bring so many things. If I knew it, I would have bought the platform tickets. The Beijing Railway Station during the Spring Festival was horribly crowded.This reason is undoubtedly sufficient.But both she and Xiaohang knew in their hearts that the real reason was that they didn't want to separate. Finally, I entered the platform. The platform is much more relaxed and faster than the waiting room. Not only are there fewer people, but I also feel relieved because I have already entered the station.趁这工夫简佳对小西说有一个作者打电话找她，小西手一挥说凡找她的，跟他们说，节后见了——俨然是“风萧萧兮易水寒”！简佳又忍不住想笑，小航也是，二人目光相撞，交流着心里的感受。小西似感觉到了什么抬头看他们，简佳忙做无事状嘱咐小西：“记住啊，总共六件行李。我的经验是，出门光记有什么行李不行，一定得记件数，到时候一数，一二三四五，少了一件，再想想少了哪件，这样才不容易丢。” 听简佳这样说，小航立刻感到了一种久违了的熟悉的亲切。这就是简佳，细心，独立。同时立刻就拿妈妈给他介绍的那个女孩儿跟简佳比，感觉那女孩儿哪儿都好——指硬件——但是，仅有硬件的那是“第一眼美女”，随着年龄增长，小航对自己想要什么越来越明确。那女孩儿除了硬件尚可，其他方面乏善可陈，主要方面令人生厌。比如，俩人统共见了才不过几面，怎么还没怎么呢，就得开始为她服务。买机票，买上她家的东西，都让他去，听那意思，钱都得他掏。这也太把自己当回事了，你以为你是谁呀，图兰朵公主？所有男人都情愿把脑袋别在裤腰带上来向你求爱？最烦这种女的了，自以为是自我中心自作多情自恋狂还得加上妄想狂。感觉太差，起码的自知之明没有，起码的分寸感没有，没有一点点简佳这种建立在自知基础上的自立独立。这时，听姐夫跟姐姐说了——他可以肯定，姐夫说以下话时没别的意思，就为感激，为把感激话说得更诚恳更有深度一些——姐夫说：“你看人简佳，也是女的，比你强多了。你倒好，出门连身份证都能忘了带！” 简佳怕小西不高兴，忙道：“我能跟小西比吗？小西有老公宠着！” 小西张口就来：“你是不想让人宠，你要想让人宠还不容易？”也是好心，也是一种谦虚一种恭维，却不料顾此失彼，一下子碰到了简佳的禁区，在场的所有人包括她自己，同时都想到了刘凯瑞。小西忙把话题转开说别的，但是晚了，简佳脸已霍然变色，剩下的时间里，简佳再没有说过一句话。 送走了小西夫妇，小航开车与简佳走，一路上，二人基本没怎么说话。在车站初见面时的激动仍在，但是，刘凯瑞像一块阴影横亘他们之间挥之不去。在小航这边，最终使他决定与简佳分手的原因不是父母，是刘凯瑞。父母和姐姐说，简佳离开刘凯瑞是为了刘凯瑞不跟她结婚。车快到出版社时，小航开口了，并不看简佳，目视前方。 “简佳，如果刘凯瑞现在离了婚，提出来跟你结婚，你会同意吗？” "What do you say?" "have no idea." 简佳冷笑一下，再也不肯说话，直到小航把她送到单位，下车后，方对对方说了一句谢谢。 简佳向办公楼里走，进门要上十几磴台阶，台阶宽阔，平常日子，这个时间，上上下下不断的人。此刻，只简佳一个。太阳已经西移，将她的身影斜斜投向那宽阔静谧的台阶，她一磴一磴向上走，寒风吹起她的长发，宛如飘起了一面旗帜，那旗帜如同所有旗帜，风越大越能显示它独有的柔软的顽强。 “简佳！”简佳这时已走上了最后一个台阶，听到小航叫她。她回过头去。他说：“到时间了，一块儿吃顿饭吧。” “我晚上有事。” "What's up?" “采购。采购吃的。一个人过年也要过好。越是一个人过越要过好。” 说罢走了，消失在出版社那扇巨大的玻璃门后……
