"Do you think I'm annoying? Do you think I'm too much?" She didn't look at me and sat in the passenger seat without moving.
"I think you're right. It's really not appropriate for you to take the bus home. But I do have something to do. If I can't arrange it when I go down, you can just drive the car back. Is that okay?" I said.
.
"Feng Xiao, do you think I don't want to take the bus? In fact, taking the bus is very comfortable. I don't want to go home alone. Why don't you understand?" she said.
I felt even more embarrassed, "Even if I send you off, I can't spend the Spring Festival with you at home? My parents are at home. How can this be done?"
"My family still doesn't know that I went to Beijing. They all thought that I was still working in the hospital. Also, they don't know about Song Mei's death. I guess they will definitely come home this time.
Nagging in front of me. Feng Xiao, I hope you pretend to be my boyfriend and explain some things to my parents. I will come back with you tomorrow. They are my parents, and I, the daughter, will spend the Spring Festival.
I should go back and visit them during this period. Of course, I miss them too. But I don't want to listen to their nagging. Do you understand what I mean?" she said softly.
"Actually, your parents are nagging you because they love you and worry about you. I think you should stay at home after the New Year and then leave. What do you think?" I said.
"You have never been to my home, you don't know the situation at my home," she said.
"Zhuang Qing, I've always been surprised. When you married Song Mei, although Song Mei didn't have a lot of money, she could still afford several million, right? Why didn't he consider improving the conditions of your family? I heard
You said it’s difficult to take a shower at home, isn’t that too inappropriate?” I asked.
"I'm still his wife, but in the end I'm going to own a house. You don't know Song Mei, he's too big-hearted. He said he would use all the funds in his hands for development, so let him come up with the money
"There's no door!" she said with a wry smile.
I couldn't help but sigh, "It's rare that you still have such deep feelings for him. Why does this Song Mei bother?"
"Actually, I didn't realize until now that I like him because I like the person I first saw. When I saw him for the first time, I was immediately excited, and that electric feeling flooded through me.
My whole body. Really, I still remember that feeling until now. However, he didn’t treat me well later, but I always remember my feeling. In fact, his subsequent behavior made me hate him, but
I really need money, so I agreed to help him." She said, her words were a bit confusing. I guess it was because she was selectively telling me some of the things in her heart. So I asked:
"The reason you need money is also because of your parents?"
She nodded, "Yes. So I hope you can go to my house with me. I don't mean anything else, I just want you to understand why I did that before. Feng Xiao, I know in my heart that deep in your heart
I have always been worried about my past deceptions. Although you think you have forgotten or forgiven me, I know that deep in your heart, you still blame me. Because I have seen it for a long time.
After you came out, several times when you were faced with a choice, you didn’t even consider choosing me.”
"Zhuang Qing, there is no such thing." I shook my head and said, but I was thinking in my heart: Is that so? Do I have such thoughts in my heart?
She continued: "Although you will never choose me now or in the future, and I will never be your wife, I hope that we can be friends, true and eternal friends, so I hope
You can completely forgive me for my past."
I was silent. Now I understand in my heart that after all she said, there is only one thing at the bottom of her words, that is, she hopes that I can accompany her home.
"Let's go to dinner. Let's talk about this while eating. Look, it's almost twelve o'clock." I said, suddenly feeling that time passed so fast.
"Let's go. I'm really hungry." She said, opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
After sitting down in the "Old Sichuan" restaurant, I ordered a few special dishes here and started making phone calls. In fact, I had been thinking about how to deal with this matter just now.
I first called Tong Yao. In fact, it was completely out of helplessness. "Tong Yao, I'm sorry, I have some other things to delay this afternoon. I may not come back until tomorrow. I can only ask you to handle the matter of my mentor's cremation."
.In this way, I will ask Ah Zhu to come and store the ashes in the crematorium after cremation, and then I will take them out after the cemetery is selected."
"Okay. It's okay. Feng Xiao, your hospital isn't on holiday yet? Why is it so busy?" she asked me with a smile.
"I can't help it." I said vaguely, "I'm really sorry to trouble you. By the way, I want to come and wish you a happy new year. When are you free?"
"What year are you wishing me? I'm not your elder." She chuckled on the phone.
"It's a friend. You have helped me so much. I just wanted to take this opportunity of the Spring Festival to thank you. I would like to bribe you." I said with a smile.
"Bribery? Okay. I like it best when people bribe me. Haha! It's a pity that I am just a small policeman and I usually have no chance of corruption. Feng Xiao, tell me, are you going to bribe me like this?" She laughed again.
"Don't have high hopes." I said with a smile, "I'll give you a shopping card. You can go to the mall and choose what you want to buy."
"Okay, a shopping card? That's okay. I'll use it to buy some meat or something so I can make dumplings for the Chinese New Year." She smiled.
I couldn't laugh or cry, "You think it's the kind of shopping card that only costs one or two hundred yuan? You think I'm too stingy."
"Oh? Is there still a lot of money in it? Feng Xiao, I'm kidding you, I don't dare to ask for the money in there." She said immediately.
"You can only be sentenced if the bribe amount exceeds 5,000 yuan, right? Don't worry, it will definitely be lower than that number." I said with a laugh.
"Is it four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?" she asked, then laughed again.
"Yes, why didn't I think of this number?" I laughed, "Okay, Tong Yao, I'm just kidding. But we are friends, right? I should also wish you a New Year's greetings, right? It's not okay for friends to express their feelings during the holidays.
Bribery, right? And I didn’t ask you to cover me up to do anything illegal. Do you think so?”
"Then I'll thank you first." She smiled.
"You haven't told me when you will be free," I said.
At this time, Zhuang Qing suddenly said: "Feng Xiao, since you are really so busy, then we can finish your tutor's affairs first and then go to my house. Wouldn't this save both parties?"
I suddenly thought: Yes, why didn't I think of it? It seemed that my thinking was really short-circuited. So I hurriedly said to Tong Yao: "Well, I'm eating now. I'll call you as soon as I finish eating.
After finishing the tutor's affairs, I will do the next things."
Tong Yao laughed on the phone, "Feng Xiao, I heard it all. Which beauty is with you now?"
"The person you know is Zhuang Qing. She just came back from Beijing today." I said.
"Forget it. Just stay with me. I'll just go and help you get things done," she said.
"This..." I didn't know what to say now.
"That's it. Don't worry while I do the work. You tell Azhu and ask her when I will pick her up. I have something else to do now, so call me as soon as you ask." She said,
The phone was disconnected immediately.
Suddenly I found Zhuang Qing looking at me and smiling, and she said, "Officer Tong is very beautiful."
I immediately said seriously: "Zhuang Qing, some jokes are allowed and some are not. I hope you understand what I mean."
"Okay, I'm wrong, isn't it okay?" she said, her face reddening.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and then dialed the home phone number. My father answered the call, and I said, "Dad, I have to go out for something today and may not be able to come back until tomorrow. You and my mother will only have to work hard at home."
"Didn't you say you were going to pick someone up? What? What happened?" There was obvious worry in his father's words.
"People have already received the call. It's something else." I said, and after thinking about it, I added: "It's something within the hospital. I have to make a visit."
It's not that I mean to lie, but I can't expose myself and Zhuang Qing, and I know that even if I don't tell him now why I don't go home today, he will ask me later. Instead of doing this, it's better to find a good one now
reason.
"That's it, okay then. You have to pay attention to safety." Father said, his tone obviously much gentler.
"Dad, please ask Azhu to answer the phone. I have already arranged the cremation of her parents in the afternoon. She should go by herself." I said immediately.
"I'll go with her. Azhu doesn't look young anymore, but her personality is still like a child's," the father said.
I felt that it was not good to ask my father to do such a thing. After all, the place was a crematorium. "Dad, please don't worry about it. There is a policeman here to help contact him. That policeman is a friend of mine. I have made all the arrangements."
"That's fine. I'm not worried about your mother being alone at home," said the father.
"It's okay. My senior sister will be here tomorrow. She used to be a doctor in our hospital. She will take care of Chen Yuan from now on." I said, "Dad, we will discuss this matter later. Please call Azhu to answer the phone right away."
After a while, Azhu came, and I told her my plans for the afternoon. She asked me, "What about you? Why don't you go with me?"
"Isn't Officer Tong here? I have other things to do. You go and say goodbye to your parents. I will arrange the cemetery when I come back tomorrow. Ah Zhu, you are not young anymore. You can handle such things by yourself.
Officer Tong is a good person, just listen to her."
She didn't speak, and I was a little anxious, "Azhu, did you hear what I said?" (To be continued)
