One big and one small are practicing love

After coming out of the factory, Zuo Kunmin went straight to the airport.

After arriving in Beijing, Zuo Kunmin opened an hourly room at a hotel near the airport. Take a shower, shave, and change into a clean suit. Stuff the suitcase in the trunk and let Master Zhao drive directly to Shuguang Elementary School.

It was an hour's drive from the airport to Shuguang Elementary School. Zuo Kunmin planned to take this opportunity to read the information in his hand about the job structure and staffing of the steel plant. But not long after the car started driving, Zuo Kunmin started to have a headache, a dull pain in his stomach, and dry eyes.

"Chairman, you don't look too good. Do you want to go to the hospital?" While waiting for the traffic light, Master Zhao saw Zuo Kunmin leaning back on his seat through the mirror, holding a folder in his hand, but with his eyes closed. Frowning tightly.

"No need." Zuo Kunmin said softly, then opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said, "I'm fine, maybe a little tired."

Master Zhao was nagging: "In the past half month, you have been running from north to south. The climate, water and soil are so different. You will forget to eat and sleep while working, and your body will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Maybe it's because I'm older!" Zuo Kunmin smiled slightly and said, "I used to fly to different cities and countries every day, but it was never like this."

"No way! You are only in your early thirties, which is when a man's health and energy are at their best. It may be that you haven't been on a business trip for a while, and your body has not adapted to the sudden high-intensity business trip and high-intensity work."

The green light comes on and the car starts. Zuo Kunmin rubbed his temples and continued to look down at the documents.

Along the way, Zuo Kunmin read documents for a while and felt an unbearable headache, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while, or looked at the busy traffic outside the window. This was repeated over and over again, and when I was halfway through the document, I arrived at the gate of Shuguang Primary School.

Master Zhao asked: "Chairman, should we drive in, or should you come down and take a walk?" Master Zhao remembered that when Zuo Kunmin came to attend the children's opening ceremony, Master Zhao was not allowed to drive in.

"Drive in." Zuo Kunmin put away the documents and looked out the window. At this moment, he had a severe stomachache, his head still hurt, he was tired and weak, and he didn't want to walk.

The car drove slowly on the campus, and Zuo Kunmin looked at the people on campus through the glass.

The parents were dressed exquisitely and walked towards the auditorium chatting and laughing. The primary school students were running around and making noises around their parents. The young actors were trotting all the way in makeup and dance costumes.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zuo Kunmin thought of the last time he spent a quiet afternoon in the library at Liu Xiaochen's school, holding an umbrella and walking with Liu Xiaochen on the university campus in the rain. The restless heart slowly calmed down.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a figure not far away who looked like Liu Xiaochen, sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, holding a big plastic bag in his hand. Zuo Kunmin saw Liu Xiaochen wearing the light pink jacket she was wearing. Why does she ride a bicycle? Who is the cyclist? Is it really her?

"Master Zhao, please catch up with the bicycle in front of you," Zuo Kunmin said.

Master Zhao asked: "Are you talking about the bicycle Xiaoxiao is riding on?"

"Is that Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes, this is the dress she wore when I sent her and the children away today."

"Who is the boy on the bicycle?"

"Oh! It's Zhang Chengjiu, a classmate of Xiaoxiao's high school!" Master Zhao said disapprovingly: "His girlfriend also performs in this school, and he is here every day. This young man is funny and loves to play. During this time, he often talks to Xiaoxiao Together."

"Doesn't he have to go to school?"

"Oh! He asked for sick leave. Because of the tight rehearsals this week, the school requires parents to accompany him. Xiaoxiao has his final exam soon, and the school is strict about taking roll call for fear of deducting credits. He also got a sick note for Xiaoxiao."

Listening to Master Zhao's words, the car drove closer to them.

Zuo Kunmin saw Liu Xiaochen sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, smiling unbridled. The golden sunlight shone dimly on her through the gaps in the trees, making her smile look more innocent and bright. Zuo Kunmin's eyebrows and corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Chairman, do you want to stop and say hello to Xiaoxiao?" Master Zhao asked.

"No need. Let's go!" As soon as Zuo Kunmin finished speaking, he saw Liu Xiaochen hit Zhang Cheng on the back, and the bicycle began to shake violently. Liu Xiaochen couldn't sit still and was about to fall down.

"Stop! Master Zhao." Zuo Kunmin suddenly said loudly. Master Zhao braked quickly, and the bicycle next to him also stopped instantly, and both of them almost fell down.

Master Zhao unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Zhang Cheng is a kid who loves to play too much. This is too unsafe. I'll go talk to him."

"No!" Zuo Kunmin's voice was weak. At this moment, he suddenly felt a violent cramp in his stomach. He pressed his hand on his chest and breathed heavily.

Master Zhao realized the change in Zuo Kunmin's voice, turned around and asked urgently: "Chairman, you have stomachache again, don't you? I'll get you medicine."

He hurriedly swallowed two pills with mineral water, and when he regained his consciousness, he saw Zhang Cheng holding Liu Xiaochen's wrist outside the glass window, preparing to leave. Press the glass lift button, endure the pain, talk to them for a few words, and let Liu Xiaochen get in the car.

I wanted to ask how she and the children are doing. But with an unknown fire in his heart and a stomachache, Zuo Kunmin didn't want to say a word, but lowered his head and pretended to read the documents.

When he arrived at the gate of the auditorium, Secretary Zhou called and asked him what he was busy with recently. He expressed concern and polite words, but in fact he wanted to ask about the situation of the steel plant.

Just returned to Beijing, Zuo Kunmin hadn't had time to attend the meeting, hadn't read the information, and there was no breakthrough in the steel plant. But Secretary Zhou was impatient, so Zuo Kunmin had to deal with it patiently and say some comforting words.

Zuo Kunmin hung up the phone and temporarily forgot about the pain. I came to the backstage with joy. I hadn’t seen the children for more than half a month, and I missed them intensely at this moment. But when he saw the children a few steps away, warmly welcoming Zhang Chengjiu, hugging and laughing with him, he stood like an outsider in the crowd, and felt desolate in his heart.

It turned out that the children did not miss him. For more than half a month, the children were happier with others than with him.

When the children came over to greet Zuo Kunmin, they were completely different from the happy look they had just now. They were nervous and timid.

Zuo Kunmin remembered again that he had just seen Liu Xiaochen smiling so happily on campus, and he was immediately nervous and restrained when he saw him. Zuo Kunmin has always believed that his dignity is right and good. He must be dignified to manage so many people and so many things that require decision-making.

But, do we really have to do this to everyone around us? Do you want to scare everyone who sees you?

When he was feeling a little embarrassed and helpless, Zuo Kunmin's cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown landline number. Zuo Kunmin usually didn't answer such calls.

But at this moment, he quickly picked up the phone as if grasping a life-saving straw, and the receiver came: "Hello, sir, we are Ping An Insurance Company. Do you have insurance?" Zuo Kunmin did not hang up, and walked out holding the phone. go.

With ten minutes left before the performance, Zuo Kunmin sat in the audience, muted his cell phone, and read the program list carefully, looking for the names of the two children. Their shows are all in the first half, so that they can leave later and make phone calls to arrange a dinner party tonight.

Zuo Kunmin has seen many wonderful performances, but when he sees his own children performing, he still thinks it is the best.

Even though Zuo Kunmin knew clearly that the children stumbled and made mistakes when hosting, were weak in basic dancing skills, and couldn't express their lines accurately during the performance, he still smiled proudly. During the half hour of watching the performance, Zuo Kunmin kept pinching the Neiguan point on his wrist to relieve his stomach pain.

After the children finished their performance, pinching the Neiguan acupoint didn't work anymore, and their shirts were soaked with sweat. He didn't want the children to see his embarrassment, so he quietly left and drank two cups of hot water from paper cups in the tea room in the hall. My stomach feels better.

It's getting dark and cold. Zuo Kunmin went to the trunk of the car, took out his down jacket, put it on, and answered a few missed calls in the car. Call the chef and arrange for him to cook a sumptuous meal at home.

"Mr. Zuo, how many people are there?"

"Two adults, two children." Zuo Kunmin wanted to reward Liu Xiaochen. In the past half month, she had indeed taken good care of the children, which was very hard.

After finishing the arrangements and preparing to return to the performance hall, the performance had ended and many people were crowded in the hall. It was difficult to get in, so he sent a message to Liu Xiaochen and asked her to bring the children to the parking space to find him.

After waiting for ten minutes, Liu Xiaochen didn't come, and she didn't reply to the message, so I called him, but no one answered the two calls. I think it was during the performance that my phone was muted and I didn't hear it.

So, I got off the car and looked for Liu Xiaochen and the children. Looking for the pink jacket, I saw Liu Xiaochen at the door of the tea room. She was gathered with her friends, as if they were discussing something.

Painful and exhausted, I just wanted to take Liu Xiaochen and the children home early. When I saw them, I shouted from a distance: "Xiao Xiao!"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Xu was unwilling to go back with him, and Liu Xiaochen also had a date with his classmates.

Hearing Zhang Cheng speak, Zuo Kunmin felt a twinge in his heart. But I know he is right. Eating hot pot, welcoming the first snowfall, New Year's Eve, and watching the flag raising in Tiananmen Square are the life of young college students.

Instead of going home to take care of his two children with him, a middle-aged man.

"Go quickly, don't be late. Children! Happy New Year!" After Zuo Kunmin said this, he picked up Zuo Yan and pulled Zuo Xu away.
