I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 313 I'll Wait For You If You Come
The ringtone of the mobile phone continued to ring. I finally put down the mobile phone that was held in the wind, and then looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number that belonged to Dali, and I answered it.

The other party said to me in unproficient Mandarin: "Are you Mi Gao?"

"Well, who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Song's friend..."

I wondered which Xiao Song it was, and then remembered for a moment that it was Xiao Song who worked with me in the car rental business when I opened the inn last year. Because I haven't had much contact recently, I didn't react immediately.

I smiled and replied, "Is there something wrong, brother?"

"Xiao Song said that you have built a lot of shops in Jiulongju... I do decoration, and I have a decoration team. If you have any decoration work, can you share some with our decoration team? ... We are very careful in our work, and we can be regarded as a well-known decoration team in Dali."

I smiled wryly: "Brother, if I really have work on hand that I can share with you, I must meet and talk with you... But the problem is, I haven't even written anything about the matter at Jiulongju."

"No way, Xiao Song said, you have been preparing for a while."

I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart, but I replied patiently: "I've been preparing for a while...but it's not going well, so I haven't been able to negotiate a few sets of shops yet."

The other party was silent, probably feeling disappointed.

After a short while, he recalled something and said to me: "By the way, I renovated a villa in Haidong last year. I talked to the owner who bought this villa. He also bought it in Jiulongju. I bought 3 sets of shops, and said that I have been idle there... How about I help you talk to him, he trusts me, I help him decorate the villa, he didn't pick anything, and when the final payment was made , and invited the brothers of our decoration team to eat."

"That's great!" After a short pause, I said again: "But brother, I won't pay the rent to the owner in the first year... You also know what the market is like in Jiulongju. If we If you don’t rely on rent-free to attract these merchants, the enthusiasm over there will definitely not be able to be achieved..."

"I understand... I understand, Xiao Song told me about your thoughts... When the boss talked to me about Jiulongju, he also felt that he had lost money... He said it was the heart of the owner of Jiulongju. They are all greedy for the little rent in front of them, and in the end they deserted the whole commercial street... I think he should be very enlightened to say such a thing."

I suddenly regained my energy and said, "If he really thinks so, then there is something to be said for this matter... If you can really help me negotiate, then I really accept your favor!"

The other party smiled and said: "It's not so much...Xiao Song said that you are very righteous. When the inn closed down, you didn't let him suffer. You are a real business person, so helping me is also helping myself...In the future , if you really set Jiulongju on fire, just remember to take over more work for our decoration team."

"Sure...then I'll wait for your letter."

……

After finishing the call, I suddenly felt that the burden in my heart was half lightened.I am fortunate that I have such an attitude towards people that I have always insisted on; although most of the people I get to know are working-class people at the bottom, sometimes it brings me real surprises.

I closed my eyes again, and finally felt a little more warmth in the wind.

I exhaled the breath I had held for a long time, and then drove to the nearest stationery store, where I bought 1 yuan worth of stationery and handed it over to the janitor.

I told the uncle, I will come again, and next time, I will bring better things to the children.

Grandpa asked me what my name was, but I didn't say...

Because I am the same as Wang Lei, as long as these children can live in the sun, what I give and what I get are secondary.

……

When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After chatting with Lao Mi and my mother for a while, I started to pack my luggage.I am going to leave for Dali tomorrow. If that buddy can really help me negotiate the three sets of shops, then in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I must sign the contract with the owner as soon as possible. Anyway, I dare not delay at home. It's time.

Not long after finishing things, Lao Mi knocked on the door and said he wanted to talk to me.

He rarely handed me a cigarette, and then asked me: "Leave tomorrow?"

"Well, there are temporary things to deal with over there..."

"Thought you could stay for three or four days."

I didn't speak, just took a puff of cigarette silently, but the guilt in my heart was more real than the smoke out of my mouth, but people are like this sometimes, always have to choose between career and family.

Lao Mi sensed my emotions, he patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Go over there and work hard, don't be careless like before."

"It will do well."

Lao Mi looked at me, then took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "This card was prepared last year... there is 15 in it, and it was originally intended to be handed over to you." , the down payment for a house in Shanghai...it's the same now...it's almost settled in Dali, and your mother and I can only help with this, and you have to pay for the house. vigorously."

"How can I ask for your pension money!"

Lao Mi handed it to me again, and said, "I still have my retirement salary, don't be afraid."

"I really can't...Dad, take it back...I've been ashamed enough for the past few years!"

Old Mi forced the card into my pocket, and then squinted his eyes and took a puff of the cigarette. I was inexplicably sad because I saw more white hair on his head.

After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Lao Mi said to me again: "You are leaving, and I will tell you something from my heart... Xiaoye is indeed good, but when it comes to marriage, a girl like Lu Jia is more suitable for you ..."

Lao Mi hesitated to speak, but my heart moved inexplicably.After a short pause, I asked, "Why did you mention Lu Jia again?"

"It's inappropriate to mention her... Then let me ask you from another angle, when you and Xiaoye were together, did the two of you have a goal?"

I am silent, because many things between Ye Zhi and I dare not plan... At least, we have never had a heart-to-heart talk about marriage, but when we were together with Lu Jia, it was very clear that as long as the material conditions are ripe Yes, we can get married anytime and live the life that most of us are living.

I took a deep breath of the cigarette, and Lao Mi said to me again: "Actually, you understand many things in your heart better than anyone else... When you are dating a girl like Xiaoye, you are tired, and she is wronged... We see it, and we can't help it." It's really uncomfortable!"

"I know, when she came, our whole family atmosphere changed... These seven aunts and eight aunts are enough to embarrass her!"

"Either since ancient times, we have paid attention to the right family."

"If you say we are in the right family, Lu Jia and I can't match either... As a native Shanghai girl, she will have a lot of demands."

"The little gap between you and Lu Jia, you can make up for it by putting your heart into it."

I looked at Lao Mi and asked, "Dad, why do I feel that your tone of voice is a bit off...?"

Lao Mi looked away from me, and then swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

"Has Lu Jia contacted you?"

Lao Mi lit another cigarette, and it was obvious that he was also very conflicted.

After a heavy sigh, he said to me: "She is in Chengdu now..."

"In Chengdu?...I watched her go to the airport. Hasn't she already gone abroad?"

"She only told us that she is in Chengdu...we don't know whether she has gone abroad or not."

I tried to calm myself down and replied, "When did she contact you?"

"Before dinner."

I recalled that at that time, I was heading back from the Hope Primary School. If I really contacted at this time, then I was indeed not there.

I asked again, "What did you say?"

Lao Mi was reluctant to speak, but at this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated, I took it out to check, it was a text message.

"I'm Lu Jia, am I surprised?... I'm also very surprised, because I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to come to Chengdu... But this time I came to Chengdu, it didn't involve the two of us... This month, there is a There is an international fashion festival in our school, and we need someone who can understand Chinese in the team, so I was lucky enough to get a spot... I heard from my uncle and aunt that Ye Zhi and you went back to my hometown... I am very happy for you, after all Great step between the two of you...but also worrying about you...believe it or not, when I first met her, I didn't believe she was your girlfriend at all...even if you were real I am not optimistic about your relationship... because I have seen too many similar examples around me... Whether it is a strong man and a weak woman, or a strong woman and a weak man, there are not many who can really get together in the end... Presumably, You should also feel the pressure now... I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to be a bystander to see how far you can go... Besides, I am indeed in Chengdu now, if you want, or for this fashion festival Interested, I have tickets here, and my works are also exhibited... Come?... If you come, I will wait for you."
