I originally thought that the fear would disappear after we figured out what happened in the kitchen, but we didn't expect that the feeling of fear would still hit us after we heard that sound coming from the living room again.
She said: "The two of us are inside and outside, maybe we will find the source of the sound."
I suddenly remembered something, "Tong Yao, don't you think it's strange? In the afternoon I was sleeping and you were busy in the kitchen alone, and then you were watching TV on the sofa. Why didn't you hear anything during that process?
Where are any strange sounds?”
She was startled for a moment, and then answered me: "Maybe it's because of the daytime, because some small sounds inside can't be heard during the day. And I was still cooking at the time, and the noise was very loud. No matter what, now
The situation is that we all heard an unusual sound, so we must find out the sound tonight, and we must also discover the reason for it."
I nodded, "Okay. I'll listen outside."
So she went in, and I sat at the dining table and started eating the cold dishes, and slowly drank. To be honest, I really like this way of drinking, after all, it is very relaxing and comfortable.
In fact, I was very focused while eating and drinking, and my ears were very attentive to listening to every sound around me.
At this moment, Tong Yao had turned off the TV, and the surroundings were so quiet that I could clearly hear the sound of a pin dropping. Now, the only sounds I could hear were the slight noises Tong Yao made in the kitchen.
.
Tong Yao came out and brought some other dishes on the table to heat in the microwave. She looked at me and smiled, shaking her head at the same time.
I also laughed, "Did we all misunderstand just now? Is it the sound coming from outside the house?"
She smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe." Then she carried the plate and went to the kitchen again.
I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking that this thing might be the so-called fear that occurred because we were too nervous. Regarding my situation last night, maybe the same was true. As Tong Yao analyzed, maybe it was because my home was too quiet.
But I was too lonely and lonely, so I heard some sounds outside as coming from inside my home.
This is a materialistic world, how could something like that happen?
So, now I think the only way when we face such a thing is to ignore it. Many things are like this. Once you pay special attention to it, it will add unnecessary trouble and annoyance to yourself. Don’t be surprised,
Just let it be.
However, when I was thinking wildly here, I suddenly heard Tong Yao's shrill, terrifying scream coming from the kitchen, "Ah..."
I was startled, immediately stood up from my seat, and ran quickly towards the kitchen.
In front of her, Tong Yao was looking at the stove with a horrified face. She pointed at that place, "Feng Xiao, cockroach! How come you have something like that in your house?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There are cockroaches in the house, what's so strange about it? Which house doesn't have these things?"
She kept tapping her chest lightly, "It scared me to death."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Tong Yao, you are too nervous. I really can't imagine that you are still a policeman. You are even afraid of this thing!"
She glared at me and said, "Stop talking. Come and serve me the food."[
The dishes on the table are all hot, and the chicken soup is no longer as salty as before. I smiled and said: "Tong Yao, I finally understand why we Jiangnan people like to eat twice-cooked pork so much. It turns out that this dish needs to be tasted a second time.
It will be better."
She laughed, then stretched out her hand and hit me lightly, "Yuck!"
I looked at her, "Are you really going to live here today?"
She nodded and then looked at me, "Feng Xiao, are you safe here?"
I didn't understand what she meant, "What's unsafe? Except for the noises we just heard, but as long as you're not afraid."
She glared at me and then smiled, "I mean, as long as you are safe, then I am safe. The most terrifying thing in the world is us humans, not ghosts and gods."
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Didn't you already test me? I'm not as bad as you think."
She laughed and said, "That's true. I think you are pretty good. From now on, I will look for a husband like you, but I can't be as fussy as you."
I immediately laughed, "You are so powerful, which man dares to bother you? Are you looking for death?"
She immediately looked very unhappy, "Feng Xiao, you made me sound like a tigress. Am I that powerful?"
I stopped laughing and nodded to her seriously: "Of course, you are indeed very powerful!"
She stared at me without saying a word, but then she laughed, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to be angry with you. Come on, let's drink."
I also laughed. In fact, I was joking with her. Of course she should understand. This is how two people are together. If everyone is too serious, it will be very embarrassing.
So we drank while talking, and eventually we forgot about the noise in the house. The conversation between her and I became more enjoyable.
Later, she asked me a question, "Feng Xiao, are you still ready to fall in love and get married?"
I shook my head, "Let's talk about it later. I really don't feel like that anymore. Besides, I think it will be difficult for me to meet the right person again."
She asked me again: "Do you think Zhao Menglei or Chen Yuan are suitable for you? I'm sorry, I seem to have drunk too much. I shouldn't ask you this question."
I shook my head, "It's okay. Tong Yao, I said you can ask me anything. I know you want to know more about marriage from me. After all, you are not young anymore. It's okay, I can answer
you."
Her face blushed slightly, "Yes. I am very confused, and I really can't imagine what it will be like if I get married in the future, and I don't know who I will marry."
I smiled and said: "A person's marriage is actually an unknown. Just like when I was admitted to college, I started to fill in the application form after the college entrance examination. It was as if I had fallen in love with a certain girl and was full of expectations. Of course, one choice
This is what I hope for most, and I have to settle for the next best thing. The scores in the college entrance examination are equivalent to my own conditions, and then I use those conditions to pursue the girl I like. However, I am still very nervous during this process, because
I don’t know which school will take a fancy to me in the future. However, when the admission notice comes, I always feel a little regretful. Even if the school that admits me is my first choice, I will still have that feeling in my heart.
It's a pity. At that time, I thought to myself: It would have been better if I had applied for another university at that time. Haha! Tong Yao, isn't this marriage also like this? I am unknowable about the future, so I feel uneasy in my heart, but once that happens
When the day comes, I will feel at ease. Although I may still be a little dissatisfied, I will eventually continue along the path God has arranged for me. (.om pure text)"
She immediately laughed and said, "This is the first time I have heard the college entrance examination be used as a metaphor for marriage. It's funny, but I think what you said makes sense. So, can I understand it this way? In fact, you are very fond of Zhao Menglei and Chen Yuan.
None of them are particularly satisfactory. Is that so?"
I smiled bitterly, "How can anything in this world be 100% satisfactory? Zhao Menglei... She was my middle school classmate. I remember that I thought she was so beautiful when I was in high school, and I always secretly liked her, but at that time
I was too timid to tell her my love for her. But I never thought I would see her again after so many years... Hey! You know what happened next."
She asked me: "Have you ever thought about it? Did she do that thing because of you?"
I shook my head and said: "I have been thinking about this issue, but I don't think it is the case. For a woman, once she marries a man, she will not betray her marriage under normal circumstances.
Let alone doing something like that. It was obvious that the man had abused her for a long time. Of course, she has feelings for me, just like I like her, which is the basis for our marriage.
.But there are still some regrets in our hearts. For her, she may feel a little ashamed of me. After all, I never even had a relationship before marrying her. That’s why she would accommodate me in everything.
Even though she knew that I had done some things that I shouldn't have done, she pretended not to know. As for me, to be honest, I did feel a little unbalanced later on because she was married. Alas! Now that I think of this
I feel ashamed when I come here. I can’t bear to look back on the past.”
She sighed, "It seems that you have to think carefully before getting married, and don't be impulsive."
I shook my head and said: "How can we get married without impulse? Marriage is originally the product of impulse. The problem is that after the impulse, you should calm down and face your marriage, and you should not complain anymore. Between me and Zhao Menglei, including later
The biggest problem with Chen Yuan is here. Because they all have one thing in common, that is, they feel guilty. But what about me? But I am always dissatisfied and dissatisfied in my heart. So, now I have a deep feeling for them.
Deeply ashamed."
She put down her chopsticks, then held her cheek with one hand, and looked at me like this, "Feng Xiao, I can't tell that you still have the temperament of a philosopher. What you just said was so good."
I shook my head and said, "What kind of philosopher? A person will gradually understand after experiencing it, but by then it will be too late to regret."
She asked me: "Do you still hate your father-in-law now? Sometimes I think for you, if Lin Yi didn't force you to marry Chen Yuan, maybe the current situation would not be like this."
I shook my head, "I don't have the right to hate others. The person I should hate the most is myself. In the past, I was too absurd, and I have continued that absurdity to this day. Alas!"
She sighed softly.
I raised my glass to her, "Do you still drink?"
She was still holding her chin with her hand, and she was shaking her head, "I don't want to drink anymore, I want to listen to you."
I couldn't help but laughed, "Tong Yao, you look like a little girl, so cute. In fact, you are very cute, but you always like to pretend to be fierce. Haha! You are actually afraid of cockroaches! Originally, you are very cute.
I wanted you to help me today, but I ended up scaring you like that."
She suddenly took her hand away and said angrily: "You!"
I hurriedly said: "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. If you don't want to drink, just eat something. You made it yourself. If we don't finish it today, we will just throw it away tomorrow. What a pity."
She immediately shouted: "Don't pour it, you can still eat it tomorrow morning."
I said: "Let's go out to eat tomorrow morning. Breakfast is still porridge, steamed buns or something like that."
She said: "It's too wasteful. It seems that poor craftsmanship is also a waste. It's just like leaders who make wrong decisions and there will be huge waste."
I couldn't help but laughed again, "Tong Yao, you speak very well today."
She also smiled, "I learned this from you too. By the way, Feng Xiao, let me ask you a question, if you want to get married in the future, what kind of girl are you going to find?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "She's still a girl. It will be good to find a middle-aged woman from now on."
She burst out laughing, "I don't believe it. Don't I know you yet? No woman you know is ugly. Tell me, what do you want? Maybe I can do it for you.
Introduce."
I was silent for a moment, but an impulse suddenly surged in my heart.
She continued to ask me: "Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you? I'm not joking with you. I really want to know what your wife should be like."
I found that it was a little difficult for me to speak now, "Tong Yao, what about you? What do you think your future husband should be like?"
She smiled and said: "Let me...hehe! I won't tell you. You haven't answered my question yet."
I said, "I won't tell you if you don't tell me first."
She pursed her lips and said: "I hate it! You are still a man, why are you like this? Well, let me tell you. In my mind, my future husband should be particularly considerate to me. No matter how bad I am, he will always come to talk to me and comfort me.
Me. And he should be very enterprising, and it would be better if he has money. Yes! He should also accompany me on a trip every year, to the beach, or to Tibet. By the way, Feng Xiao, I remember you seemed to have promised it before
I went to Tibet together, do you remember?"
I looked at her in astonishment, "Have I promised you? No? Why can't I remember? You must have remembered it wrong. Someone else must have promised you."
She suddenly became confused, "Really? How do I remember it's you?"
I couldn't help but find it funny, "Tong Yao, it must be a man you like, and he promised you."
She suddenly became anxious, "How could it be? Impossible! I rarely talk about such things with other men except you."
I thought it was even more funny, "Really?"
Her face suddenly turned red, "I hate it! I won't talk to you anymore. Huh? Feng Xiao, wasn't I asking you that question just now? Why did you bring the topic to this? Answer me quickly, boss
Answer honestly, what kind of woman do you like?"
At this moment, the impulse in my heart suddenly burst out, "If I really want to marry a wife, then I will marry someone like you!"
She looked at me in astonishment, and then her face turned red, "Feng Xiao, don't make such a joke with me! How is it possible? I don't like a man like you to be my husband! Didn't you say that? We
It’s best to be friends.”
I was almost ashamed, and immediately felt extremely regretful, but I tried my best to hide it, and then said sarcastically: "I was talking about a woman like you. I didn't say it was you."
She breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's it. You scared me to death. But Feng Xiao, why do you think I'm so good? Why don't I think I'm good?"
I didn’t want to talk any more, because I had been greatly hit in my heart, and even felt humiliated. I said calmly: “Because I need a powerful woman to control me. Otherwise, I will still
Make mistakes."
She looked at me with her mouth wide open, looking surprised. Then she laughed, "Ah? That's it. Haha!"
My interest was dull, "Tong Yao, I feel so tired. Go to bed early. If you really want to stay with me, then go sleep in the guest room, but the quilt in that room needs to be changed. Everything is in that room."
You can take it out yourself from the cupboard. I'll wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen and here."
She glanced at me, her eyes full of questions, but then she stood up and said, "Okay."
Then, I started to put away the dishes, and then went to the kitchen to clean it slowly. The kitchen was messed up by her, and it took me a long time to clean it up. I thought to myself: She is really not a woman who knows how to live.
.
Of course, I know that this is actually just a kind of self-consolation for myself. But at this time, I was very depressed and even a little angry: Feng Xiao, why are you doing this? Aren’t you bringing shame on yourself?
?
After tidying up the house, I never saw Tong Yao coming out of the room. I called her from outside, "Tong Yao. I'm going to bed. You should go to bed early."
Her voice immediately came from inside, "Yeah. I'll fall asleep right away too."
I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep, because what Tong Yao said just now deeply hurt me. In fact, I don't blame Tong Yao for this matter. I just feel that I am too cheap and I am completely humiliating myself.
Before going to bed, I went to the study room to find a magazine, and then went to the bedroom to lie down and read. I don’t know why, but as soon as I lay down on the bed, I suddenly felt exhausted, and soon I entered the mood.
In my sleep, I didn't even turn off the light.
However, I woke up in the middle of the night because the food Tong Yao cooked was too salty and I woke up from thirst.
So I got up from the bed and prepared to go to the living room to get a glass of water. However, when I opened the bedroom door, I was suddenly frightened and almost screamed. I saw a person sitting on the sofa, and
The light coming from my room just caught that person's figure in my eyes!
She seems to be Chen Yuan!
In the dim light, a woman wearing a pink nightgown sat there. Her long hair showed that she should be a woman.
I was startled, but the feeling of fear lasted only for a moment. Sometimes it is like this, the horrific scenes in my imagination are more terrifying than what I actually saw. I looked into the darkness and bravely asked in a low voice: "
You, who are you?"
However, she did not speak, but her long hair moved.
Fear struck me again, because I immediately felt that it must be Chen Yuan, that she must be back, and I didn’t even think about other possibilities. Immediately, I felt that it was difficult to move my legs, and my whole body
It was as if all my strength had been drained away, and I heard my voice tremble, "Chen Yuan, is it you? Are you really back?"
She still didn't speak.
I slowly walked towards her, "Chen Yuan, is it really you? Do you have something to tell me? By the way, am I in a dream now?"
And at this moment, I suddenly heard a sigh, the voice of the woman, "Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
It’s Tong Yao!
I understood immediately. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I completely forgot that she was at home! I couldn't help but get a little angry, "Tong Yao, what are you doing? Why are you sitting here in the middle of the night?"
Aren’t you scary?”
Then I ran to turn on the light. Sure enough, it was her. The nightgown she was wearing seemed to have been worn by Ah Zhu before. I immediately understood that Ah Zhu had left this nightgown here when she left my house.
She smiled apologetically at me, "Feng Xiao, I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep, so I came out to sit. And I really want to find out where the sound came from."
So that's it. I thought to myself. Then I asked her: "Did you hear it again?"
She shook her head, "No. It's really strange."
I suddenly felt something was wrong, so I looked at her and asked, "Tong Yao, why didn't you answer me immediately? Didn't you mean to scare people?"
She still smiled apologetically, "I was thinking about something and didn't react."
At this moment, my mind suddenly became clear, and I seemed to understand her intention all of a sudden.
She was so weird today. Previously, when we first heard that sound coming from the kitchen, she was so frightened that she looked like that, and then she was like that when we heard that sound coming from the living room, and she actually
She is still so afraid of cockroaches! However, she is not willing to leave my house. But at this moment, she is so bold that she is sitting here alone with the lights off without being afraid.
What does this mean? This means that her previous fear was completely fake! Why is she like this?
I went to her and looked at her closely, "Tong Yao, do you also think that Chen Yuan's death has something to do with me? That's why you didn't speak immediately just now? Do you want to see me like that?
What kind of reaction would it be under the circumstances, right?”
Her expression suddenly darkened, "I'm sorry, Feng Xiao. Yes, that's true. However, I didn't have such an idea at the beginning. Think about it, how did I know that you would get up in the middle of the night? This was just when I saw you coming out
It was only then that I suddenly decided that I could take the opportunity to test you. I used to be a policeman, and it is my professional habit to eliminate all doubts in my heart. But in fact, it has been proven that you have no suspicion."
I felt a little better and then said: "How could I do such a thing? Not to mention whether I dare to do such a thing. Think about it, she has been unconscious in bed for so long and could leave this place at any time.
World, why would I do such a stupid thing? Moreover, I have always been ashamed of her, how could I hurt her again? Tong Yao, I am very sad because I did not expect that you would doubt me like this. I am a doctor
, my profession is to treat illnesses and save people, I can never do anything like killing people, not to mention she is my wife and the mother of my child."
Her face had turned red, "I'm sorry, Feng Xiao, I really didn't mean it."
I suddenly became excited and said loudly: "You did it on purpose! You deliberately made the soup and vegetables so salty, you knew I would wake up in the middle of the night looking for water. Don't treat others as fools! Tong Yao
, I’m very sad. I didn’t expect that I have always regarded you as a friend, but what about you? You treat me as a murderer and investigate me secretly! Yes, that used to be your profession, I understand, but we have been in contact for so long, I, Feng Xiao
Don’t you still know what things you might do and what things you might not do?”
She was stunned immediately, and her face became obviously embarrassed. Obviously, what I just said hit her home.
She stood up and walked slowly toward me. She stopped when she was in front of me. Then she said to me softly: "Feng Xiao, don't be so loud. I'm sorry. Isn't it okay if I apologize to you?"
It was my fault, I shouldn't have done this. Hey! I'm no longer a policeman, so why bother? Feng Xiao, please forgive me, okay?"
I didn't say anything and just stood there angrily.
She sighed, "I'm going to rest. I'm sorry."
What else could I do? I had no choice but to go to the bedroom with grief and anger, then get into bed and continue sleeping. However, how could I sleep? Because my heart was completely filled with grief and anger.
Tossing and turning in bed, the sadness and anger in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time. I don't know exactly when I slowly fell into sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I still remembered the dream I had: I dreamed of Chen Yuan. She was playing the piano on a large stage, and below the stage was a dark audience. The lights on the stage were gorgeous, and the entire performance hall was so majestic.
The rainbow can at least accommodate tens of thousands of people. Under the spotlight is a white performance piano, which is very beautiful. In front of the piano is Chen Yuan wearing a white gauze dress. Her skin is fairer than the white gauze dress.
, more eye-catching than the white piano. Her ten fingers are slender, and they flexibly produce notes pouring out like flowing water on the keys.
There was no silence in the hall, only the notes played by Chen Yuan were floating. I didn't know where I was, but I could hear the sound of her piano so clearly. No, to be precise, it should be her piano.
The sound had already penetrated my eardrum and entered directly into my soul.
Her fingers were sliding slowly, and as the last note was still floating in the air, she slowly stood up, then turned around and bowed to the audience below to thank her. At this moment, she was so perfect, as if
As beautiful as a legendary goddess.
Thunderous applause poured and echoed in the hall like a tide.
"Brother Feng..." She was running towards me, with a happy and bright smile on her face.
I was immediately excited and opened my arms to greet her. She pounced on me like a swallow, and came into my arms like a bird. We hugged tightly.
"Chen Yuan, where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time." I murmured.
"Husband, I miss you so much." She cried on my shoulder, "I've been looking for you everywhere. But I don't know where you are. Today I finally saw you..."
I also started to choke, "Chen Yuan, please don't leave me again, okay? It was my fault in the past, and I shouldn't have done those things that made me sorry for you. I will never do it again in the future, I promise you."
She started to cry, "I believe you. Husband, you really will never be with Zhuang Qing again in the future, right?"
I felt even more uncomfortable and apologetic, "Well, I will definitely not be with her anymore. I will definitely like you from now on, and we will slowly raise our son together."
She drove away from me suddenly, "Where is our son? Where is he now? Did you lose him? Where is our son?"
I hurriedly said: "He went abroad with his grandmother and will be back soon. Don't worry."
She suddenly hugged me again and cried loudly, "Husband, she is not our son's grandmother. Woohoo! She is not..."
I was startled and immediately woke up from my sleep.
The dream just now is so clear in my mind, and I am still in the same excitement as in the dream just now, and there are tears in the corners of my eyes.
It was bright outside, and I estimated that it was at least past nine o'clock. As a person who wakes up early for a long time, I am particularly sensitive to the weather outside. But at this moment, I stayed in bed and didn't want to move, because my thoughts were still there just now.
In my dream, Chen Yuan, she was so perfect in my dream.
I couldn't help but feel sad: Feng Xiao, why didn't you cherish her so much before?
Suddenly, I remembered what she said to me in the dream before I woke up, "She is not our son's grandmother, she is not..."
Why did such a scene appear in my dream? Why did such words come out of Chen Yuan's mouth in my dream?
Of course I don't believe too much in dreams, I believe it's something in my subconscious. Could it be that...have I always doubted the fact that Shi Yanni is Chen Yuan's mother?
The scene I saw in the cemetery yesterday suddenly came to my mind: the weeds in front of Chen Yuan's tombstone. I suddenly understood: this is where my suspicion came from.
But, is this possible? You know, I did the N appraisal secretly at that time.
Feng Xiao, you seem to be becoming more and more suspicious recently. I said to myself. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
I got up from the bed. I didn’t want to stay in bed any longer. Because I knew laziness could be remembered. If this happened today, it would probably be difficult to get up early from tomorrow on. I had already gotten up late for so long today.
I can't continue this bad habit.
When I entered the living room, I found that Tong Yao was still at my house. When she saw me going out, she immediately said to me with a smile on her face: "Are you up? Come and eat. I bought it for you."
Steamed buns and porridge."
Seeing her flattering expression, I couldn't continue to get angry with her. I nodded to her lightly, "Thank you."
She glared at me angrily, "Why are you so polite?"
I smiled sheepishly, and then went to wash up. When I looked at myself in the mirror in the bathroom, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be much older. Because I found that there were a few spots in the corners of my eyes.
There were shallow wrinkles. At this moment, I suddenly found that I didn’t quite recognize the me in the mirror.
This is how human life slowly passes away. I muttered something to the me in the mirror, but it was not sad. Then I went out and found that breakfast was already set on the dining table.
"Have you eaten yet?" I found that I couldn't be truly indifferent to her.
"I've eaten. I thought you wouldn't sleep in. I didn't expect you to get up so late." She said to me with a smile.
"What time is it now?" I asked.
"It's almost ten o'clock," she replied.
I nodded, "I'll take you there after I finish eating."
She said: "Today is the second day of junior high school, and I really want to go to the mountains to get some fresh air. Feng Xiao, thank you for accompanying me. Maybe I will feel much better after coming back from this trip."
I said: "I didn't know he..."
However, I was interrupted by her before I finished speaking, "Feng Xiao, I think you should move. Until now, I haven't found the place where that kind of noise came from. I think some things are unbelievable."
I looked at her in shock, wondering why she suddenly interrupted me and immediately talked about another thing.
Maybe she is worried about something happening to me. After all, some things cannot be explained clearly. I can only think this way.
After I finished breakfast, Tong Yao came over immediately and took the dishes into the kitchen to wash them. I was a little embarrassed that she was so attentive to please me. I found that I was very unaccustomed to her being so attentive in front of me.
In my heart, I have always looked up to her.
No matter what position I am in now, this will never change. This is something deep in my heart.
"Okay. Let's go." She came out after a while and said to me with a smile.
I was still embarrassed, "Thank you. I'm sorry that I asked you to wash the dishes."
She glared at me and said, "Feng Xiao, I don't like how polite you are in front of me."
I smiled bitterly. In fact, I also understood something: her rejection of me last night made me feel more distant from her.
Immediately, I went out with her.
"Are you driving or should I drive?" I asked her when we arrived at the door of my car.
"I'll do it," she said, looking very proud.
I handed her the car key. She smiled brightly at me, then went to the driver's seat to start the car. I sat in the passenger seat and said to her without saying anything: "Tong Yao, I found you are very
Love driving.”
She smiled and answered me: "Yes. This can be regarded as a professional habit. Hey! What kind of professional habit is it? Now I am a laid-off worker."
I hurriedly comforted her and said: "You are wrong. You are not a worker in the first place, so there is no such thing as a laid-off worker. Moreover, I have always believed that you will continue your previous job in the future. There is a lot of truth in this."
Simple, because you like it."
She sighed: "I hope so. But I feel a little tired now, and I really want to do another job in the future. For example, I can run your restaurant with my mother." Then she smiled at me and said
: "Feng Xiao, in this case I will be your employee. You will have to pay me more bonuses in the future."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tong Yao, please don't say that. That place is equivalent to your mother's. If you really want to do that, I don't agree with it. Because that place is not suitable for you.
."
She said: "But what else can I do?"
I said: "As a girl, you can do a lot of things. For example, open a clothing store or a store selling cosmetics. You are so beautiful, you don't need to hire a model at all."
She looked at me and smiled, "Feng Xiao, do you really think I'm beautiful?"
I immediately laughed, "Don't you know?"
She laughed, "I really don't think I'm that beautiful. I just have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. I'm just like other women."
I also laughed. At this moment, I found that the gap between me and her suddenly became much smaller. "If you had three eyes, wouldn't it be scary to death?"
But she suddenly stopped laughing, and her voice became bleak, "Actually, what's the use of a beautiful woman? Otherwise it will disappear in a few years. A woman's beauty is as short-lived as the flowering period of a plant. So, I don't
I don’t value this aspect of myself.”
I was convinced, "So Tong Yao, what do you value more?"
But she shook her head and said: "I don't know. If I say career, it seems wrong, because this is a man's world. So I think as a woman, the most important thing is her own happiness. But, until I
I still don’t know where my happiness lies. Whenever I think of such things, I feel so sad. Alas!"
I said: "Don't sigh. Women who sigh often are more likely to grow old."
In fact, I almost wanted to say to her: Don't be so demanding. But I stopped myself in time because I didn't want to bring up the topic last night that made me feel humiliated.
.
She didn't speak. After a while, she suddenly said to me, "Feng Xiao, from now on, don't mention to anyone that I'm going to open a private detective agency. Okay?"
I asked her in surprise: "Why is this?"
She sighed and said: "As a fired policeman, if I do something like that again, I will be laughed at by others. And I really don't want to do something like that anymore, and I don't even want others to know that I have done something like that."
I have such thoughts. Hey! It’s so embarrassing that I was fired.”
I didn't expect that she was still struggling with this matter, but after thinking about it, I understood her. Just imagine, if I was fired from the hospital, I would definitely not open a private clinic by myself. What happened to Liu Meng in the past
Later, I had the worst-case scenario, but now it seems that my thoughts at that time were really ridiculous, because it actually still involves the same issue: a person's self-esteem.
Tong Yao is different from other girls, she has a unique self-esteem.
I also sighed and said: "That's okay. I promise you. But Tong Yao, I really think you should have a good rest, preferably go out and relax. Maybe you will have the best idea by then.
You know what you should do. What do you think?"
She said: "Maybe."
At this time, I suddenly thought of another question, "Tong Yao, if that's the case, then we don't need to go find that person today, right?"
But she shook her head and said: "No, I must go. What if this person really knows fortune telling? I would like to ask him what is suitable for me in the future."
I looked at her and said, "Tong Yao, why have you become superstitious?"
She replied: "A person often becomes superstitious in the most difficult times, because a person always has to find the reasons for failure for himself, right? Superstition is actually one of the best ways to anesthetize yourself. Now
I'm really confused."
I deeply agree.
Drive the car out of the city.
"I see, you are the person you met in your stone house, right? Two worldly masters met, no wonder we hit it off right away." Tong Yao said to me with a smile on the way up the mountain, in a teasing tone.
I smiled and said: "Then you are wrong. Someone introduced me to him. The village chief of this place and I are friends. One day we accidentally mentioned such a thing, and he took me there. That time
I was lucky enough to meet that person the first time I went there.”
She looked at me and smiled, "Feng Xiao, I never thought you could make friends with farmers. I really admire you. You are really an extraordinary person. You can get to know high-ranking officials and make friends with farmers."
This shows that you are a very kind person."
I smiled faintly, "This is not a question of kindness or not. I think there is no need to distinguish between people, everyone is equal. For example, if it weren't for chance, I would say
Maybe he is just an ordinary doctor. Let’s talk about you, you used to be a policeman, but you are not now, but in my heart it is still the same, you are you, there is no difference at all from Tong Yao before.”
She sighed: "But how many people in this society would really think like you?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah. I used to know a director in my hometown. When we met for the first time, I was an ordinary doctor. But he was so arrogant in front of me, haha! Now that I think about it, I
I felt very uncomfortable. Later, this person came to please me servilely again and again... Tong Yao, there are a lot of people like this nowadays. Sometimes I think: I really don’t know why such a person wants to
Like that? How could they do such a thing? Not to mention asking me to do that myself, even when I see people like that, I feel so uncomfortable inside."
She smiled and said: "Yes. There are too many of them now, because everyone is obsessed with money, and some people do it in front of officials. Many people are servile. There is no way,
Part of this country's culture for thousands of years has been to cultivate people's servility. It is difficult to change this situation, unless there is a big change... Okay, Feng Xiao, let's not talk about political issues, okay?
?Things like that are not something you and I can decide. Let me ask you, how did you meet this village chief? How did you become friends?"
So I smiled and briefly told the story, and then said: "Actually, I met him when I bought the stone house, but later on I helped him with some help. By the way, the bacon and sausages in our restaurant are all
They supplied it. He also said he would give me some, but I asked him to send it to the restaurant on the phone, and also asked your mother to pay the bill for him. It is not easy for farmers to make money, so I can't take advantage of him.
So cheap.”
I didn't mention the matter in the provincial government canteen because I didn't want Tong Yao to know about my relationship with Lin Yu.
After hearing this, she immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, what I said is actually true. You are a kind person. If you are so enthusiastic to help others, of course they will treat you sincerely. I mean, you
The stone house is here, and there are a lot of things in it, so why aren't you worried about being stolen? That's it."
I said, "This is the place I only come to once in a while when I'm in a bad mood. I drink tea here alone and isolate myself from the world. Only in this way can I get true peace of mind."
She glanced at me and said, "You seem to be very depressed."
I was stunned for a moment, "Melancholy? How come? When did I become depressed? Tong Yao, in fact, everyone has times when they are upset. That is to say, everyone has times when they are mentally abnormal. It's just how everyone handles it.
It’s just different. For example, for myself, because I don’t have many friends, I have to find a quiet place to drink tea alone, and use this method to relieve my emotions. Some people are different from me. They
Either go to a friend to drink, or go to a karaoke bar to vent. In fact, although the ways to relieve emotions are different, the principle is the same, which is release. By the way, there is also a method mentioned in psychology textbooks.
, is to let a person go to an empty place, and then use the most vicious language in the world to scold the person he hates most in the open space."
She looked at me in astonishment and said, "No way? Is there such a method in the book?"
I smiled and said, "Yeah. But there is also a principle stipulated in the book, that is, you must not be heard by others, and you can only vent by yourself. In other words, you can only do that if you don't hurt others.
"
She smiled and said: "That's pretty much it. By the way, Feng Xiao, shall we keep driving forward?"
I nodded, "Yeah, just drive forward along this road, and you'll be there when there's a fork in the road."
She asked me again: "Do you come here often? I mean, how many times have you gone to see that person?"
I replied: "Just once. But that time, this person left a very deep impression on me. I think he is as powerful as Song Mei before."
She suddenly looked thoughtful, "Oh. Song Mei..."
I looked at her in surprise, "What's wrong with Song Mei?"
She shook her head and said: "It's nothing. But I have always thought Song Mei's case was a bit strange. By the way, Feng Xiao, have you read the newspapers recently?"
I was a little confused, "Newspaper? What newspaper?"
She laughed and said: "The entertainment sections of Jiangnan Morning News and Evening News have published tidbits about Zhuang Qing. It is about her visit to Kunming, Yunnan. It is said that she went there to have a tryst with a man. But the man in the photo is only
A back view. Feng Xiao, I don’t know why, but I feel that the man’s back looks a bit like you?”
I was shocked and quickly denied it.
