C80 They Felt Sorry for That Man
"Reality is rugged, butterflies will be haggard and strong. Where will my heartache go? " - - - Scroll poem
For the first time, Tan Ming, who had always been calm, rational, and had great self-control and coordination, was completely blank. From the bottom of his heart to his entire body, panic, helplessness, and a chill that was close to despair spread throughout his entire body in an instant!
He called out "Little Zhi," but his voice was frozen. The girl did not hear him at all. She wanted to say something more, but she could not open her mouth. She wanted to go out to greet him, but she could not help but take two steps back.
Tan Ming could only look at the new Little Zhi, who couldn't get rid of the shadow in her heart. The girl who was looking forward to her heart being warm and caring, who was so close to her, was embarrassed, lost, and sad at the entrance of the yard. . .
The Tan Lin couple were also shocked by the situation in front of them. The old wood carving craftsman sighed and returned to the room. The old partner wiped his hands with an apron and looked back and forth between the husband, son, and the girl, not knowing what to do.
Tan Ming finally gathered the remaining strength and summoned some courage. He looked up at Xin Xiaozi and found that the girl was also stubbornly working hard. She obviously controlled the urge to turn around and leave. Instead, she struggled to have a bright smile on her pale face, which was belittled and looked down upon.
"Brother Tan, I'm here to return the book. " Xinzi stabilized her body, which was shaking slightly due to excitement, and slowly walked in from outside the courtyard door.
Tan Ming had persisted in training for more than ten years, and could be called a healthy and strong cardiac muscle. At this moment, he actually started to twitch powerlessly and painfully. He stood in a daze at the door of the room. She listened to Xinzi call her big brother sincerely as usual and politely greeted her parents, who were in a mess of emotions, one by one. Then he took out two books from his pocket that looked like pants, washed them until they were white and old, and put them on the table with a smile. Then he greeted them gently and walked out of the yard with firm steps. His words were all messed up, sour, bitter! His eyes were red, and his nose was sore. He almost shed tears!
". . . Ah Sheng, it's snowing outside. Do you want to send Little Zhi off?. . . Ah Sheng, it's snowing outside. Do you want to send Little Zhi off?" Her mother had already guessed some meaning from her husband's words yesterday and the dispute just now. She looked at the girl and felt reluctant to part with her. Her heart ached for her son as she asked in a low voice beside her.
. . . "No, Little Zhi will leave. . . She will leave by herself. . . " The cold wind became heavier. The snow was blown onto Tan Ming's face and it turned into tears on his face that had lost its color!
It was only when the snowflakes that accumulated on Mei Feng stopped melting that Tan Ming slowly let go of his white knuckles. He turned around and returned to the house.
There were two books on the table. One of them was about the basic knowledge of the website that he had lent to Xin Xiaotian; the other was about the cutting-edge technical teaching materials that he had mentioned to the girl that he wanted to buy but lacked in online bookstores. Now, they were all neatly placed there.
He flipped through the pages, carefully wrapped the book paper, and wrote the title of the old book. Then, he touched the new books that were still bound to the book city. From the unique smell of the books, Tan Yin could faintly smell the smell of New Zis' family's hand cream. That was when they had formed a team to paint the walls of her house. The girl had specially bought it online to make it convenient for them to wash their hands and use it. In order to avoid hurting her skin. . . It had been so long, had she not used up the two small pieces of hand cream? The corner of Tan Yin's mouth twitched. She wanted to smile at the girl again, but she didn't know that her expression was much uglier than crying!
When Tan Linki saw his son's expression, he was also worried and even afraid. He walked over and whispered,. . . "That's good too. It's better to have a short period of pain than a long period of pain. . . . Ah Sheng, you guys don't have a clear relationship. Now that you've said it, it won't delay the lady. . . "
. . . " I'm going to the school tomorrow. Hurry up and study. . . If you delay any longer, it will be too late. . . " Tan Ming seemed to respond to his father's words.
However, Tan Linki felt that it did not seem to be responding to him at all. "Ah Sheng, I'll send a message to Boss Xi on WeChat in a while to explain your situation. Let's see if he can hurry up and ask about the possibility of you being transferred to the north bank during the New Year. "
He didn't hear any more replies from his child. The worried mother watched as her son held the two books tightly in his arms. Without even looking back, he went into her room. She couldn't help but cry out in pain, "It's all my fault for not being able to live up to expectations with my body!"
"Heh - - why? One gift from the border isn't enough, and you're even giving it a second time? You really put in a lot of effort, huh? "
The parking area at the entrance of the small courtyard Tan Mingsheng rented was quite narrow. The road was slippery. Worried that his sports car would slide into the farmland again, Xia Thorqing parked the car on the cement road that connected the various villages. He carried the gifts that his parents had specially prepared and came down. When he raised his head, he saw that Xin Xiaozi was holding the bag tightly. He did not even open the umbrella. He came out of Tan Ming's house in the wind and snow. She lowered her head and walked in a hurry. He couldn't help but tease him.
"Sigh - no matter what, you are still my former employee. Is it appropriate for you to keep a straight face and not speak when you see the boss?"
The depressed Xin Xiaozi didn't even raise his head. He directly brushed past him and walked towards the new city of Dongjiang step by step in the face of the snowstorm. Thorns and thorns were green and solid. Feeling angry, she followed behind and shouted again.
He saw that Xinzi's footsteps paused, but very quickly, the girl picked up her speed and ran forward with all her might.
But the road in the snow was really slippery! After Xinzi ran for more than ten meters, he suddenly fell heavily onto the grass by the cement road.
Xia Jianqing regretted his words and hesitated whether he should put down the things in his hands to help her up. However, he saw that Xin Xiaozi had already struggled to get up. She did not even want to be distracted by the snow and dirt on her body. She stood on her tiptoes and continued to rush forward even if she twisted and turned.
"Really! The fall is so heavy, isn't it painful?" When he saw Xinzi's wrestling posture, he immediately forced a smile. However, the girl whose legs were obviously injured did not have the slightest intention of turning around to look at him. Even if it was an angry glance!
Turning his head to look at the silent Tan Family Gate, he felt strange yet faintly angry. "It's so late. A girl doesn't even know how to send her home. Let her go home in the snow!"
He walked towards the Tan family's house and reached out to knock on the door of the yard that had not been closed.
"Little Zhi!" The first thing Tan Ming did was to rush out of the house. He looked at the confused and seemingly understanding face of Xia Jianqing, his body seemed to have frozen. . .
"Wife, take this medicine and sleep well. " Duan Sunflower brought a cup full of hot water to Fan Lihua's side and complained, "The children are on winter vacation. You haven't fully recovered from the cold and are busy cooking again. You are also busy gathering and sorting out the data. Aren't you afraid that your myocardial infarction will flare up again?"
Fan Lihua's breathing was rapid, and her chest was short. She leaned to the side of the bed and blamed her husband. "That's what you said? The children had school meals for a semester. As a mother, I don't make them something to eat. Can you live with it in your heart? Aren't you busy visiting people every day? You even plan to go to Dongjiang New City with Li Weisheng to spend New Year's Eve with Old Gu? "
"I'm a man, but I'm different. I'm in good health. Besides, visiting more residents is good for health! " Xii Sunflower propped up his belly, which had been reduced by an inch in three months.
Fan Lihua laughed in spite of herself and said, "If you say that, I can understand why Xiao Bu is unwilling to follow you. "
"What?"
"He's too skinny. I'm afraid that if he goes any further, he'll lose all his flesh! "
"Hahaha. . . " It was rare for the couple to laugh so easily.
However, Chao Sunflower saw that Fan Lihua felt a chill run down her spine as she pulled on the blanket with all her might. She swallowed the medicine and poured the remaining hot water into her stomach in one go. His breathing was heavy. He could not help but feel his heart ache as he climbed onto the bed. He sat behind his wife and helped her massage the acupuncture points on her head. "The data of the old people in the various residential areas in Dongjiang New City has been compiled today. I will tell Xiao Feng in the office to organize them according to the requirements tomorrow. Do you really have to do it yourself? "
"Secretary Jiang and District Chief Jiang are waiting for it! We can take it to the City and District Office to look at it. We can reasonably apply for the transfer of resources. " Fan Lihua coughed twice. She took the laptop from the bed and said, "Xiao Feng and the rest have some requirements, but they might not be clear about it. After working for a year, he let them finish their work in peace. Prepare for the New Year. "
"It's enough for the two of us to pounce on the new city by myself. You're exhausted. Are we going to celebrate the new year?" Duan Sunflower muttered.
"Why not?" Fan Lihua smiled. "On the first day of the New Year, I'll be visiting the grassroots. I'll set up the Dongjiang New City and go there to celebrate the New Year with you. "
"Brother Yan, how's my mother?" Ni Chengjian rode in Xia Ci's car and rushed to the hospital from the airport overnight. He rushed to the Cardiology Department's ward but did not dare to knock on the door and enter. Not only was he afraid of scaring his mother who was in the middle of treatment, but he was also afraid of seeing a scene that would make his heart ache.
Xia Yanju had hired a 24-hour nurse for Grandma Xia, but he was worried about the old man, so he stayed by the side and did not dare to leave. At this time, he greeted his cousin at the door of the ward. Seeing his panicked and helpless look, he hurriedly comforted, "You sent him to the hospital in time. The situation is basically stable. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. "
"That's good! Thank you, cousin. " Ni Cheng calmed his heart. He pushed open the door and entered the ward, looking at his silver-haired mother sleeping soundly. However, the tears in his eyes couldn't help but roll down, "It's all my fault. I saw the news that Qingqing posted online, but my mother always said that young people are picky. The new city's environment was very good, but who would have thought that. . . She even ran so far away to see an illness!"
. . . "The new city's conditions are still lacking, but I've seen it. It's not bad, it should be developing quite quickly!" Xia Yanju wanted to persuade him, but he heard Xia Thorn coughing and blowing his nose. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"
"Yes. " Seeing that his elder had nothing to do and did not want to become the source of infection in the ward, Xia Jiqing took the initiative to leave the room.
Xia Yanju followed him out and reached out his hand to poke Xia Yanju's head. "You have a fever?"
"A little. "
"Then go back and rest. Ask your mother to bring you some cold medicine. We have some in the box," Xia Yanju said.
"No need, I have my own regular medicine. You are already so old, yet you still rely on your parents. What is it like?" Afraid that his father would worry, Summer Thorned Green chuckled.
"You brat!" Xia Yanju could not help but feel a sharp pain in his heart. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his son's head, which was a rare sight, and said, "This cold has been cold recently. It has been running around outside, gathering whatever information you need on the Internet. You must be tired from the cold, right?"
Xia Jianqing was pointless. "Maybe. Then I'll go back and sleep. You can accompany Uncle first. Tomorrow morning, Mom will come to exchange for you. I still have a post to pick tomorrow. "
" You need to rest well when you catch a cold! "
"But you've seen it too. Can't the problems in the new city not be reflected? Aunt Gu's life was almost saved! "
