We came out of the north gate of Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and Tong Yao held my arm during the whole trip. When we came out of the hotel, she just put her hand into my arm, and something happened in my heart.
I trembled slightly, but then it merged into a warm and wonderful feeling of happiness. Then, I slowly got used to it, but that happy and warm feeling still flowed in my heart.
I walked with her in the thatched cottage, and at the same time I was telling her my inner feelings. Tong Yao was always chuckling, "Feng Xiao, you are actually quite simple."
I said: "Isn't it the same for you? Do we still need to quarrel when we are together? Isn't that too tiring?"
She smiled and said: "I like this feeling. I haven't had it for a long time."
My heart felt even warmer and full of hope again.
Later we went to Wuhou Temple. This place is actually similar to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. They are both cultural monuments. For a medical student like me, I quickly became tired of places like this because I actually don't know many things.
I understand. Wuhou Temple commemorates Zhuge Liang. I think what is promoted here is actually the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Patriotism is good, but based on loyalty to the emperor, it feels too far away from reality.
Then we went to Chunxi Road. At the entrance of Chunxi Road is the "Long Chao Shou" store. It is a very large store, so big that it is not commensurate with the status of Chao Shou as a snack.
A bowl of Chao Shou is very large, and you will be full after eating it. You can’t taste other snacks. Why do you sell such a large portion? Why not split one bowl into two bowls and sell them? Chao Shou is a natural product of Xiaojiabiyu.
It loses its shape after a big scene. It's better to sell it in a small stall with a small facade, in a small pot and on a small stove, and watch the boss make, cook, fish, and sprinkle seasonings, so that the food can be authentic. It doesn't matter if the business becomes big.
I told Tong Yao this idea, and she couldn't help laughing. Then she asked me, "Then do you think I look like Xiaojiabiyu or like a lady?"
I was startled because I didn't expect that she would relate my feelings to herself. I said, "You are neither, you are a heroine."
She immediately laughed, "I hate it! I don't want to be that kind of heroine."
I thought to myself: Anyway, you definitely don't belong to that small family jasper or the lady of the world. Of course, I can't tell it.
After leaving Longchaoshou, we went to Chunxi Road, which is a bustling commercial area. Tong Yao became energetic as soon as she arrived here. I couldn't help but find it funny: women are women, and it is their nature to like shopping in shopping malls.
She bought a lot of clothes and other items, including underwear, shampoo, etc. I also bought socks, underwear, a set of pajamas, and a down jacket.
When I checked out, it was actually not very expensive, just over 10,000 yuan. It was not as valuable as the gift I gave to Director Zou.
"It's so fun." Tong Yao said happily.
I was also happy because she was happy. I said to her: "Tong Yao, you have to get something by yourself, right? Look at me, my body is wrapped up in the things you bought. It's hard to walk."
She glared at me and said, "You are a man, so you have to take it. My job is to buy it, and you have to pay the bill."
I smiled bitterly and muttered: "You are quite a shopaholic."
She came to glare at me again, "Feng Xiao, what did you say?"
I hurriedly said: "I said, this is really a shopping paradise."
Afterwards, we took a taxi back to the hotel. It was already late in the afternoon, and she seemed to have forgotten the time, but I was already exhausted.
She said: "I have to go back and take a shower and put on new underwear."
I quickly reminded her, "The underwear you just bought needs to be washed once before you can wear it. New clothes don't mean they are clean."
She suddenly realized, "Yes, you are an obstetrician and gynecologist, I should listen to you."
At this time, I had to think about a question: Has she always been like this before? Wearing the underwear she just bought? It seems that she is lucky enough to not get sick.
I looked at the time and said, "Tong Yao, you mean we will still stay here today, right?"
She smiled and said, "Yes. I want to stay here for one more night. I like this city. Did you see it today? The people in Chengdu are very relaxed. The teahouses on the roadside are almost full of people, with wicker chairs.
, hot tea, mahjong... the people here really enjoy themselves.
I said: "Then I will stay here with you for a few more days. Tomorrow we will also go to a teahouse for a day and enjoy the day leisurely like Chengdu people."
She said: "No, we will take a plane to Lhasa tomorrow."
I immediately looked at her inexplicably, "Why did you change your mind again?"
She said: "I thought about it and decided that I can't waste too much of your time, as this will affect your future. Feng Xiao, we are friends, I can't be too selfish."
I was silent for a moment. In fact, I had been worried about this matter in my heart, but in the end I still prioritized being with her.
I thought about it and said, "Actually, it's nothing. You heard it last night. I've already arranged everything in the unit. It won't have much impact."
She said: "You said it won't have much impact, but it does have some impact, right? Feng Xiao, I've thought about it, let's just go like this, we go by plane, it's much safer. It's winter now,
It is very dangerous to enter from the national highway. The road into Tibet may be icy, and many sections of the road are built on the edge of cliffs, so accidents are easy to happen. In the future, when we are free in the summer, we can drive in together.
"
I said: "Okay. Since you have decided, then I will listen to you."
She looked at me and said, "Feng Xiao, thank you."
I smiled bitterly, "Why are you always so polite?"
She said: "I mean you listened to my advice and didn't ask me about that matter again."
I said: "First, I basically know what's going on, but I still need time to slowly confirm what you said. Second, I think what you said makes sense. Who would I be interested in if I got involved in something like that?"
It’s all bad.”
She sighed: "It's good if you can understand. Feng Xiao, if I do anything to make you sorry, you must not blame me in the future."
I was immediately stunned: Why were her words the same as what Shangguanqin once said?
"Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you? I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that some of the things I have done before or may do again in the future may not be known to you, or they may be harmful to you.
It will cause some harm in the short term, but in my heart I am doing it for your own good and considering your long-term development in the future. I never mean to hurt you. Do you understand?" It was obvious that she saw the strange look on my face.
I shook my head, "I don't understand."
She came over and took my arm, "Feng Xiao, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, as long as you know it in your heart. I hope you don't doubt me at any time, and believe that I will never hurt you intentionally. So you know
This is enough. What we need most is trust. Because there are still many things that I can't tell you now, but you will definitely understand in the future. I, Tong Yao, do not seek to be an official and make a fortune, I only seek to understand the truth of the matter.
, this is my minimum professional ethics as a police officer, and it is also my greatest pursuit in life. Feng Xiao, maybe you think my words are like chanting slogans, which is very unrealistic, but this is indeed what I mean. At present,
What we need most is trust. Beyond that, I very much hope you can keep it confidential. Including what I am telling you now. If someone asks you about my current situation, no matter who asks you,
Please answer them like this: Tong Yao is in a very low mood now. She wants to find another job, or needs your funding to open a store. That's it. Okay?"
Her words moved me, "Tong Yao, although I don't know for what purpose you want to say these words to me, but there is one thing I completely accept, that is, what you said requires my trust in you. So you can rest assured.
Well, I will definitely do what you say."
She immediately looked very happy, "That's great! Feng Xiao, let's go eat. I only ate so much for lunch, I'm already hungry."
I was also very happy and felt warm in my heart, "What do you want to eat?"
She said: "Let's go eat authentic Sichuan food." (To be continued)
