On May afternoon, it is the time for the hot and stuffy weather.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and the doors of the "Good Friends Photo House" are deserted, and it is very quiet.
Xue Ling parked the jeep and walked straight into the store.
I saw Liu Dafu cleaning in the corner, Tong Zi was sleeping on the sofa, and there was a large Phoenix brand camera not far away.
When Liu Dafu saw Xue Ling, he smiled and greeted him.
"Xiao Xue, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Are you looking for Tong Zi?"
Xue Ling greeted the old man with a smile and asked, "Uncle, is Liu Xing here?"
Liu Dafu replied: "Today is Saturday, and he works in the newspaper. It's three o'clock now, so I guess he should get off work. The newspaper will get off work early on weekends and afternoons. Do you have something to look for him? If you are anxious, then go forward.
Let's go. If you don't have a hurry, then wait here. He will come after work."
Xue Ling was not anxious and asked: "Uncle, have Liu Xing slept here recently?"
"Occasionally," Liu Dafu replied: "I came to open a store at around 7:00 a.m. and occasionally saw him brushing his teeth inside. He said he was too lazy to run back and forth, and it was convenient to go to work."
When Xue Ling saw the old man smiling, she smiled bitterly.
It seems that the elderly at home don’t know the recent situation of their son.
After only half a year, the newlyweds slept separately - just think about it carefully and you will know something is wrong!
The chat between the two woke Tong Zi up, who was taking a nap. He crawled up and saw Xue Ling in a daze. After seeing him, he hurriedly got up, pulled the white shirt on his body, and whispered awkwardly: "Boss Xue, you are here!
”
Xue Ling stopped and said, "You keep sleeping, I'm disturbing you. I'm here to find Liu Xing, but he was not here."
Tong Zi raised his eyebrows in surprise, pointed to the small sofa beside him and said, "You sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea."
After Xue Ling was full, he was busy reviewing the manuscript. Before he could drink a sip of water, he hurried out just now. At this moment, he realized that his mouth was very dry.
"Thank you then! I'm just thirsty."
Tong Zi asked politely: "Uncle Fu, you can have a drink too, okay?"
Liu Dafu smiled and said, "I am old and I can't sleep at night as long as I drink tea. You can drink it. I'll go to the kitchen in the back to cook more water, and you can talk!"
Tong Zi quickly brewed two cups of green tea and handed it to Xue Ling a cup.
"This is my colleague brought back from a trip to the south and said I had a small bag. The smell was very fragrant, so you can try it."
Xue Ling smiled and said, "It's so hot. I can't get used to hot things. But it smells very fragrant and attractive, and it must be very delicious."
Tong Zi sat on the side of her and tidied up the sofa a few times.
"The weather is hot, except for the evening when there is business, it is very deserted at other times. In the past six months, the business has been the worst in this month."
Xue Ling was very calm and explained: "There will always be off-season and peak season for business. When the off-season comes, we will accumulate energy and rest well. When the peak season comes, we will work overtime to make money. There are ups and downs, which is the norm in life.
”
Tong Zi was slightly stunned and turned to laugh.
"Meiren Xue, you look younger than me, but your words are more philosophical than those of an old man in his seventies or eighties!"
Xue Ling laughed and said, "I guess I've experienced a lot."
She picked up the teacup, blew it a few times, and took a sip.
The tea leaves are fragrant. If you take a sip of sweet and mellow, you will feel a different taste in your mouth and you will feel less thirsty all of a sudden.
Tong Zi's eyes moved slightly and asked, "Meiren Xue, are you okay with Liu Xing? Are you settled the accounts for the past six months?"
"No." Xue Ling explained: "I went out a while ago and came back only two months ago. I thought I hadn't seen my old colleague for a long time, so I made an appointment with Wang Qing for dinner tonight. Liu Xing didn't know if there was any
Huo, I want to invite him to go together. Last night, I found that Wang Qing was the only one here, which I thought was strange."
Tong Zi hummed softly and whispered: "How can you not blame me..."
Xue Ling's ears moved slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tong Zi shook his head hurriedly and smiled apologized: "It's nothing... I just mumbled casually."
Xue Ling smiled and said warmly: "Tong Zi, I am a person who speaks very straightforwardly and doesn't know how to beat around the bush. To be honest, I came today for the matter of Wang Qing and Liu Xing. I went with Wang last night
Qing chatted for a long time, but she was in a bad mood.”
Tong Zi curled his lips and sighed softly.
"Liu Xing has become a different person recently! If I hadn't believed in the theory of materialism, I might have suspected that he was possessed by some evil demon!"
Xue Ling: "..." He is worthy of being a cultural person. How fashionable this way of describing it is!
"What's wrong with the couple?" she asked: "Do you know the inside story? They are both my good friends. When they got married, I also received a matchmaker red envelope. Whether it's a good friend or a matchmaker, I
Everyone hopes that they are kind and loving, and their families are harmonious and beautiful.”
Tong Zi frowned and explained: "My beauty Xue, I won't say it's not me - I can't say it either. Brother Liu Xing was very cheerful and easy to talk to, and it was a very good person. But somehow... it seemed to be spring.
When it was time, it started to change."
"How did you change?" Xue Ling asked.
Tong Zi replied: "I have become less talkative, my face is bad, it's fine if I'm thin, I'm tight-fitting every day, as if I've encountered such a big unhappy thing. I asked him and I care about him, but who knows
He just said coldly - meddle in other people's business and do your own thing!"
He stopped innocently, his tone was very unhappy.
"If it weren't for the good relationship between each other, why would I care about so many things? Everyone has known each other for many years and is now a colleague. Is it wrong for me to care about him? Who likes to face a person with a deep temper all day long?
If I were Sister Wang Qing, I wouldn't want it either!"
Xue Ling lowered his eyes and asked, "He said nothing? Then what's wrong with him?"
Tong Zi thought for a while and replied: "He became unspeakable, he was cold every day, and he was very cold to Sister Wang Qing, and even scolded her in private. I heard it several times! At first I thought it was
The couple had awkwardly and wanted to persuade him. Who knew that he would scold me if he had ulterior motives! What kind of intentions can I have? The couple quarreled and I tried to fight. What kind of intentions can I have?"
"Is there any more?" Xue Ling asked: "What are you... guessing the reason?"
Tong Zi's eyes moved slightly and explained: "I suspect it was Sister Wang Qing... who did something that sorry for him, which caused his temperament to change drastically, and his attitude towards her changed from sweetness to cold ice from the beginning."
"Have you ever had contact with Wang Qing?" Xue Ling asked with a smile: "You can't tell what kind of person she is, right? She is just a little girl who is as simple as white paper."
Tong Zi sighed and smiled bitterly: "So I have always denied this speculation. But I really can't think of anything else except this. Sister Wang Qing hasn't come to the photo studio much for a while. Originally, she made our dinner, but now she still
Uncle Dafu is doing it.”
Xue Ling whispered in a low voice: "Just now, he made a big fuss with Wang Qing in front of his colleagues, and even smashed something and left."
"What?!" Tong Zi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "He's crazy, right? He's so big? The couple can't tell me what's wrong in private!"
Xue Ling picked up the teacup and drank half a cup.
"I'll finish drinking this and go find him. Do you know where he will go?"
Tong Zi thought for a while and nodded quickly: "It should be there! I'll take you there!"
