I nodded, "As long as the diagnosis is clear, many diseases are easy to treat."
I rarely use therapeutic diagnosis methods like this, but I thought about her mental state and considered that metronidazole does not have any major side effects, so I decided like this.
"Let's go have dinner together. I'm in a much better mood now. I'd also like to ask you to help me see if the medicine I bought is correct," she said.
"I'll treat you to dinner. No, treat you." I said and couldn't help but raise the scroll in my hand.
Her eyes came to my hand, her expression suddenly became sad, and then she shook her head and said: "Forget it. You can go back. I, I suddenly felt uncomfortable."
I was silent for a moment, looked at her and left.
Now I know that Lin Yi may have hurt her more. But I don’t understand what happened between them. I think: maybe Lin Yi is too gentleman, because after all, he is married and is not willing to carry Shi Yanni outside.
Hu Lai. I remember he once told me something like this.
Although my own life is too chaotic, I still admire a gentleman like Lin Yi because I can't be like him.
After I went out, I couldn't help turning around to see her, and found that she was standing by the window with her back to me. Her back was twitching.
I sighed in my heart and then gently closed her door.
Suddenly I had an impulse, and when I was going downstairs, I couldn't help but open the scroll in my hand.
I saw the words "In the summer of 1937, Beihong" were written on the scroll, and the inscription was: Beihong in the summer of 1937. Behind it was a red seal. I don't know calligraphy, but I think these words are written very well.
It has momentum, the strokes seem soft and strong at the same time, and it looks very comfortable anyway. I think this must be Xu Beihong's original work, because it looks beautiful.
Beauty is a feeling, a power that can infect a person's soul. I don't believe that fake things can be so infectious.
Then I rolled up the scroll and went downstairs quickly. I felt my steps become brisk.
I saw Dong Jie standing next to my car from a distance. She was holding the picture frame in her hand and just stood there blankly.
"Thank you." I quickly ran over and said to her.
She blushed and whispered, "It's nothing."
"I have already told Professor Wu that you will go down with me tomorrow. You can prepare today. Come downstairs to my house early tomorrow morning. By the way, can you hold the baby?" I asked her.
"Your child?" she asked.
I nodded, "Please help me hold the baby because I have to drive."
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"My hometown. My company has a project there. If you think it's far away, I can arrange for you to go to another place, just around the provincial capital. I also have a project there." I said, because she is
Wu Yaru's niece, just now I saw Wu Yaru looking so sad, and I immediately understood that the scroll in my hand might be very important to her. So I felt very guilty, and I hoped to take care of Dong Jie's wishes as much as possible.
She doesn't speak.
So I said again: "Well, you go to my hometown and see it first. Haha! If you have any requests, just let me know at any time. It doesn't matter. This time I want to ask you to help me hold the baby.
.”
"Yeah." She finally spoke.
I was very happy and immediately opened the car door. She put the picture frame on the passenger seat, and I immediately told her my home address.
The first thing I did after driving out of the Academy of Fine Arts was to call Lin Yi.
When I made the call, I was thinking about how to tell Lin Yi about this matter, but when the call was connected, I suddenly didn't know where to start, so that there was a short speech gap. The phone number was
I got through. I'm sure the other party is waiting for me to speak, but I really don't know what to say.
"Feng Xiao, is that you?" He finally spoke.
"I got the thing. She didn't ask for money. It's a calligraphy by Xu Beihong." I said three sentences, not very fast, with a pause between each sentence. This was actually what I thought of saying before making the call.
, it’s just that they are not strung together now.
"Send it directly to Secretary Lin," he said.
"Don't you look at it?" I asked. Now, my thinking began to become active and freely.
"She won't lie to you," he said.
"You gave this to her, right?" I asked again.
"Feng Xiao, this is between me and her. I am older, and your Aunt Shi is very good to me. There is no need to engage in extramarital affairs, let alone delay her any longer. Her age is also
Not too young. I asked you to get this thing back to completely cut off her thoughts. Feng Xiao, I think you must have understood why I want you to find her, right? Okay.
Well, that's it, this matter is considered to be successfully completed. I still have something to do. You go home and drive slowly tomorrow, and be sure to pay attention to safety. Your Aunt Shi is here to take care of Xiaonan, so don't worry." He finished.
Then the phone was disconnected.
At this moment, I seemed to understand everything, but when I thought about it carefully, it still felt vague. But there is one thing I should understand what is going on——
Last night, he didn't tell me Wu Yaru's number in front of me, but he insisted on sending me a text message when he was in the car after he left.
I thought this was very strange at the time, because that was not his style of doing things. Now, I suddenly understood: He wanted Shi Yanni to see that the person who went to see Wu Yaru today was not him, but me. Maybe he told everything
At the same time, he also proved to her that he would use me to get back the last thing he gave to Wu Yaru from Wu Yaru.
After all, I am their son-in-law, and of course they are not willing to talk about such a thing directly in front of me. This matter is private to them after all, and it would be a bit embarrassing to talk about it directly in front of me.
Therefore, I felt Lin Yi's helplessness.
After a long time, when all the truth came out, I realized that my guess was correct, but the actual situation was far more complicated than that, and it also involved me. Later I realized that it was such a small thing.
What it contains is actually very cruel, to me, to Lin Yi, to Shi Yanni and Wu Yaru. Of course, this is something to say later.
Immediately, I called Lin Yu.
Today I was supposed to take Wu Yaru to our hospital for medical treatment. I had already said everything out loud at first, but then I suddenly remembered that there were too many things to do today, so I changed my mind temporarily. The most important thing to do today is
The first thing I wanted to do was to send this painting of Xu Beihong's calligraphy to Lin Yu immediately.
Some things cannot be postponed, because opportunities cannot always be waiting there. Those who need opportunities can only and must line up in advance and wait.
Lin Yu said she was in her office, but she specifically told me not to go to her office because she said her place was inconvenient today and there were provincial leaders inspecting her there.
I said, I got the things and I have to go back to my hometown for half a month tomorrow. What should I do?
She said, give it to Hong Ya and let her take some time to give to me.
I had no choice but to agree. When I was talking just now, I heard some noise on her phone. I guess she was really busy today. But I could only listen to her. But I was a little worried: Is this thing suitable?
It should be suitable. As someone as smart as Lin Yi thinks it is suitable, I don’t need to worry about anything. Then I thought to myself. Now, I have completely understood that Lin Yi has actually arranged everything, killing two birds with one stone. To accomplish more with one stone is his way of doing things.
I was about to call Hong Ya, but I found Lin Yu calling me and saying, "Come over right away. The leader has decided to go to another place at the last minute."
"Okay." I was overjoyed, and then joked with her: "Sister, I didn't expect that you, the dignified secretary of the municipal party committee, have to listen to other people's arrangements?"
But she sighed and said to me: "Yes. Being an official is not majestic every moment. You can't show off in front of your subordinates. If you don't show off, your subordinates will feel uncomfortable. Once you get to the boss, you will be like your subordinates. In this way, sometimes we are even more pitiful than them."
I immediately stopped joking with her because I thought what she said made sense, and there was also a sense of helplessness.
Soon I drove to her office, and I wrapped the calligraphy and painting in a newspaper so that it was not conspicuous at all.
I found that her complexion was better and she was no longer as thin as the last time I saw her. It could be seen that she insisted on taking medicine. However, she was still haggard. I guess it was because she was too tired.
Therefore, the first thing I said after entering her office was to persuade her, "Sister, you are too tired. You should take some time to rest."
She shook her head, "There aren't many specific things. There are just too many things to come and go. There's nothing we can do. We have meetings every day, either giving speeches or reporting. It's all the same. It's really annoying."
"Some people would love to be as annoying as you. This is also a manifestation of power." I said with a smile.
"Haha! You're right. But it's really annoying. You don't know that in the officialdom, you have the thickest skin when you compliment someone. No matter how disgusting the words are, they will come out of the official's mouth with dignity and sound serious. This makes people have to admire that officialdom is a very cute place, which can turn a group of highly intelligent businessmen into being as brainless as fish balls. But without such stupid words, officialdom is no different from a vegetable market, which is meaningless. A subordinate flattering a superior is like a student asking for a report when meeting the teacher. If there is more of this procedure, the teacher may be annoyed, but if there is less of this procedure, the teacher will not only be annoyed, but it will be another result. You see, I This is how I live all day long." She said to me with a wry smile, and then stretched out her hand towards me, "Where are the things? Let me take a look."
I opened the newspaper and handed the scroll inside to her.
She looked at it carefully and then nodded, "This thing looks good. How much did it cost?" (To be continued)
