Three hundred and fiftieth chapters are companions
I miss my loved ones even more every festive season.
This sentence is an undoubted truth for any Chinese.
Especially for those who live in a foreign land, New Year's Eve must be the time when they miss home the most.
For example, in Shanghai City, 1,200 kilometers away from the capital, in a staff dormitory affiliated with the court.
Xuan Ye, who is currently living here temporarily, is homesick.
During this year, only she knew her pain.
Since the shocking case was reported, the Chen family and the Qian family were brought down, causing shock to the upper echelons of Shanghai and causing chaos in the literary and art circles.
In the eyes of the judiciary, a large number of people whose interests were harmed because of her misfortune hated her.
Although these people were afraid of her family background, they did not dare to retaliate openly.
But at work, she often made stumbling blocks, gossiped behind her back, and slandered her innocence.
This caused rumors about the unit to fly all over the place.
Many people who don't know the truth have heard these rumors.
I thought she was a madman who went to extremes regardless of the consequences because of her emotional dispute with Chen Yang.
He looked down on her from the bottom of his heart, and was frightened by her decisiveness.
So everyone stayed away from her and avoided her.
As for other people with ulterior motives, their concern for her is concern, but they all have utilitarian purposes.
Either he thinks that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and wants to take advantage of her and take advantage of her.
Or it was just to use her to curry favor with the Ye family in exchange for political benefits.
As a result, she didn't dare to rely on anyone in the unit.
There is no one I can confide in, no one I can trust.
He became an absolute loner.
There is no doubt that such unbearable melancholy and embarrassing loneliness will definitely distort people's character and soul.
So this year passed, at an age that should have been extremely romantic and passionate, Xuan Ye's temperament turned into introverted and cold.
So much so that on New Year's Eve, while she was staying in Shanghai, she didn't even bother to make New Year dumplings.
Although she spoke well to her parents on the phone.
She will spend the New Year at her colleagues' homes without her parents having to worry.
But in fact, she only planned to order some noodles with clear soup, and then spend the night alone with a book.
But she didn't think that maybe this night was too special.
The sound of firecrackers outside and the sound of the Spring Festival gala coming from somewhere kept making her uneasy.
Although she was under the bedside lamp, she held up a copy of "Major Contemporary Legal Systems" and really wanted to read it.
But the words on the page were blurry, and she could not focus on the book.
Reading, on this night, can no longer relieve the loneliness floating in my heart for no reason.
I forgot who she heard it from. Someone once explored the root cause of loneliness and believed that loneliness is something in the heart that cannot fulfill one's wishes.
The result of restless pursuit and desire for compensation.
So what are her pursuits and desires?
Is it the loving and warm touch of my mother, or the tolerant and understanding eyes of my colleagues.
And when her next thought came, she thought of that scorching summer when the asphalt road was stained with oil.
She once stood on the high diving platform with that man.
With his strong arms and patient encouragement.
For the first time, I plunged into the sapphire blue water like a fish.
The tip of her heart couldn't help but tremble.
That thrilling scene touched her memories made up of countless tears and laughter...
No, she swore to herself not to think about this.
However, she couldn't help but not think about it, couldn't help but think about it...
Xuan Ye threw away the book as if she was a little angry and was about to wipe her wet eyes with paper, but she didn't expect it.
"Duk duk duk", a soft knock on the door cut off her chaotic thoughts.
How is it possible? Who would come at such a time?
"Who is it? Who is outside?"
Ye Xuan sat up from the bed warily and stared at the tightly closed door.
A woman's voice sounded.
"I, it's me, Lu Yanhua."
But this was an unexpected answer, prompting Xuan Ye to quickly put on her clothes and go to the ground and open the door.
The door opened and closed again.
A figure wearing a cotton coat walked in with a cold wind.
Ye Xuan recognized it without any hesitation. Sure enough, it was...
"...Lu...Lu Jian! You...you are..."
The surprise made Xuan Ye's voice change. She tried to be calm and reserved, but she still failed in the end.
Because Lu Yanhua’s subsequent response was even more surprising.
"I'll be your companion."
"ah?"
He noticed that Lu Yanhua had brought something, and put several lunch boxes and a bottle of wine on the table.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but stop her.
"No, Lu Jian. Don't worry about me. You should be with your family..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanhua said.
"Don't worry about my family. My son is very independent and is with his grandfather now. Besides, I will be able to stay with him for three days starting from tomorrow."
"Actually, I originally wanted to ask you to go to my house to celebrate the New Year today. But I can guess that you don't want to see that house again. Okay, then I will take the initiative to come to you."
But such thoughtfulness made Xuan Ye feel even more embarrassed. She suddenly understood something.
"Oh, are my parents bothering you? They are really..."
But Lu Yanhua gave a negative answer.
"No, you made a mistake. Your parents didn't call me. I wanted to come on my own, and I came only for you."
Then she patted Xuan Ye's shoulder affectionately, as if she wanted to convey encouragement to her with her arms.
"Xiaoye, although we are not in the same unit, we are in the same system. You should have heard about my character. I am the most disgusted with the privileges of the children of cadres.
"The Qian family brought you to court. Frankly speaking, I was prejudiced against you and thought you were one of those playboys relying on your family background."
"But it's different now. The case you reported not only proves that you are wise and brave, distinguish between public and private affairs, and have professional ethics. But you may not know that I have been quietly observing you for a year afterwards."
"The strength you have shown, your ability to endure humiliation, and your ability to withstand pressure are all of rare value to judicial work."
"Let me put it this way, the court excluded you because they are ignorant and do not recognize talents. That's why they came to you today. I think you are very suitable for the work of the Procuratorate. If you are willing, you can take our unified examination after the year."
"Did you hear that? Even if you want to come, you have to take the exam. I won't open a back door to your parents. I only talk about your grades. If you fail the exam, you will have to stay in the court."
At this moment, she took another look at the book that Xuan Ye had put aside.
The book was turned upside down, so it was obvious that it had just been read.
Then he became even more happy and picked up the book.
"Xiaoye, are you still reading? It seems that you are indeed very strong. I really saw you right."
That night, under the dim 15-degree light bulb, Lu Yanhua and Ye Xuan drank wine and ate a meal of dumplings stuffed with three delicacies. For Ye Xuan, this meal of Chinese New Year dumplings delivered to her door was no less important than the ones in Diaoyutai.
A feast.
Let her be deeply touched and never forget her.
Seeing her tearful look, Lu Yanhua also said with understanding, "Everything has passed, and everything that has gone bad should be turned around. Xiaoye, don't think about it anymore. You have to learn to behave on your own when you go out."
Take care of yourself. No matter what you encounter, you have to be able to handle it and don't let your mind wander. From now on, you will grow up and become a brand new Xuan Ye. At least I can guarantee you that no one in the prosecutor's office will be unfair again.
Treat you accordingly."
So Ye Xuan burst into tears after hearing this.
For this reason, Lu Yanhua said with some embarrassment.
"I am a very ashamed eldest sister, and I am not very good at comforting others. Since you want to cry, then cry hard and pour out all the tears that are drowning in your heart. But in the future, you must remember that under any circumstances
Always smile at others. The more others want to see you cry, the more you have to smile."
In this way, even though Lu Yanhua has such a tough personality, she no longer looks like a woman.
But she can treat Xuan Ye sincerely.
Indeed, she took over the role of Xuan Ye’s mother at this moment and gave her great warmth.
So when this night passes.
Xuan Ye's mentality and life began to change positively.
