Xiaobai hugged the crying Cheng Cheng, and not long after, Xi'er poked her head around not far away, and tiptoed over.
She stood next to Xiao Bai, stretched out her hand and touched Cheng Cheng's little head. The little face that usually wore a smile tightened, "Cheng Cheng~~"
The pomegranates are also here.
Xiaomi is also here.
Xiao Yingzi Xie Ying also came.
Several people sat around Cheng Cheng, silently accompanying their little best friend through this difficult and sad night.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Meng Guangxin picked up Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng was as usual, sleepy-eyed in his arms. If he hadn't said anything, it would have been impossible to tell that she had cried a lot today.
But she just didn't say it.
Even the primary school teachers don’t know.
If there is anything different from the past, it is that Cheng Cheng held his father's hand harder tonight, so much so that Meng Guangxin smiled and asked her to relax a little, which made his father's neck hurt.
Back home, Cheng Cheng continued to sleep on the bed. Meng Guangxin took a bath and was still preparing something under the desk lamp.
Tomorrow he will be competing for a job. He has been preparing for this for so long just for this chance.
Hope and disappointment are equal. How great the hope is, how great the disappointment will be, and their degree depends on how much you pay for it.
The competition ended the next morning, and the results came out at 2 p.m. The general manager announced in public in the office area that Meng Guangxin had forgotten who the lucky winner was, but what was certain was that that person was not him.
He instantly felt like he was falling from the clouds, and he was shattered into pieces.
People around him comforted him. They all knew how hard this man worked for this position.
Throughout the afternoon, Meng Guangxin was in a state of confusion.
He made a mistake once, and the leader was considerate and comforted him.
He made two mistakes, and the leader had a heart-to-heart talk with him and told him to focus on the overall situation.
He made three mistakes, and his leader gave him a slap in the face and reprimanded him.
After coming out of the leader's office, Meng Guangxin finally sobered up a lot. He thought to himself that his luck had never been good, and it was the same this time. But so what if he was teased, life was like this, he still had Cheng Cheng, and he wanted to continue
Grit your teeth and persist, in the workplace, only the leftovers are king.
He cheered up and seemed to have regained his hard-working attitude. Colleagues around him said he was open-minded, and his boss praised him for his ability in work.
This day seems like a dream.
After get off work, as usual, Meng Guangxin said hello to his colleagues around him, rode a small electric donkey, went to the kindergarten to pick up Cheng Cheng, cooked for her, sent her to Little Red Horse Academy, and then went back to work.
"Why isn't Wang Chao working overtime today?"
Meng Guangxin looked around. He knew everyone who worked overtime every day, and there were several missing today.
When the colleagues around him heard this, they looked at him in surprise and did not say a word.
It wasn't until a long time later that a colleague who was close to him told him that Wang Chao had gone drinking with everyone.
Isn't it true that Wang Chao was recruited through competition?
Meng Guangxin suddenly realized that he had lost to Wang Chao this time.
Logically speaking, what happened just during the day should not be forgotten so early, but Meng Guangxin just forgot it.
It's not him, so it doesn't matter who is chosen.
"Brother, you are older than me. I know you must feel uncomfortable. Don't work so hard overtime. Don't dwell on things on your mind. Let's go have a drink too."
Meng Guangxin was like a pile of embers at the moment, his heart was burning with boredom and restlessness. At this time, as long as there was a slight disturbance, the embers in his heart would ignite blazingly.
He drank a lot, but after having Cheng Cheng, he rarely drank. The few times he drank, he controlled the amount and hid it for fear of intoxicating Cheng Cheng.
Tonight, he felt extremely disappointed, but he still ordered it till the end, not wanting to get drunk.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, several colleagues were drunk, but he was still standing.
He guarded them until they were picked up one by one.
He stood at the door of the noisy bar, suddenly not knowing where to go. There were no new text messages on his phone for several days, and there were no calls. When he opened it, most of them were advertising text messages for various brands.
No one contacted him, and he had no one to contact. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost something.
This low mood was only temporary, and he learned to control his emotions very early.
Riding on the little electric donkey, he rushed towards the little red horse.
He told himself in his heart that he didn't have nothing, he had a treasure, and it didn't matter whether he had the others or not.
When the wind blew, he suddenly felt sick in his heart. He had no time to stop and vomited all over the floor. The little electric donkey twisted and fell to the road, knocking down an electric car passing by.
Before he had time to get up, he heard yelling around him, and the man who had been knocked down jumped in front of him ferociously, yelling at him and vomiting all over him, and wanted to beat him.
He ignored the scratch on his arm, stood up and apologized, whispered in a low voice, paid a few hundred yuan in compensation, and settled the matter, feeling aggrieved.
He looked at the time and saw that it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the pick-up time had already passed. He rode a small electric donkey to the Little Red Horse Academy, but was stopped by the traffic police at the intersection.
The traffic police was checking for drunk driving, but unexpectedly smelled the smell of alcohol on his body as he passed by, and the little electric donkey rode very fast.
"Don't leave." The traffic police stopped him and refused to let him go.
Meng Guangxin was thinking about Cheng Cheng and said, "I will pay you whatever fine you want."
He just wants to leave quickly, and he will accept the fine.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blew. He tried his best to hold it in, but failed. He bent over and vomited all over the floor again, including everything he had eaten today.
Now the traffic police wouldn't let him leave. Not only did they want to impound his car, they also asked him to follow him to the traffic police brigade.
Meng Guangxin was in a panic, how could he leave??! Who would pick up Cheng Cheng when he left?
He was anxious to leave, but the traffic police refused to let him go. He was anxious and wanted to force his way in, but was restrained to the ground by several traffic policemen.
With his face pressed against the cold road and his arms hurting from being pressed, Meng Guangxin suddenly collapsed and shouted with a cry that he just wanted to pick up Cheng Cheng as soon as possible.
Today, I was full of malice toward him.
When we came out of the traffic police brigade, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Meng Guangxin was exhausted physically and mentally. After walking a few steps, he sat down against a cypress tree on the side of the road. Unable to stand up, he tried not to let himself fall asleep. He was in a daze until the drunkenness passed and he gained some strength.
Only then did he realize that it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and the cypress tree behind him had supported him for the weakest two hours.
He stood up holding on to the tree trunk. He smelled the stench of sweat and the strong smell of alcohol coming from his body. He stopped a taxi, went home, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, slept for two hours, got up and walked to the road.
While buying Cheng Cheng's favorite breakfast, he appeared at the door of Little Red Horse at seven o'clock in the morning.
The gate was locked, and the Little Red Horse Academy was quiet. Unknown insects were chirping. Only then did Meng Guangxin notice that the coldest part of winter had passed, and spring was coming quietly.
He looked up at the gray-blue sky. A light-colored light appeared on the city line on the horizon, indicating that it would be a new bright day.
