fire rescue

Before the [-]th holiday started, Li Younian planned to take advantage of the holiday to hang out with Zheng Yi, and even planned a few itineraries in the province, eagerly hoping that Zheng Yi would join her.But what Zheng Yi thinks is that they have only known each other for less than half a month, and they haven't reached that level yet. It's always not good for lonely men and widows to go out together, not to mention that Zheng Yi doesn't want to go from the bottom of his heart. He was pushed away on the pretext of walking.But Li Younian was not discouraged, always wanted to ask him out, Zheng Yi couldn't refuse anymore, and finally went out with Li Younian in the middle of the holiday, who would have thought that he saw Bai Hewei.

The moment Zheng Yi saw Bai Hewei, he let go of Li Younian's holding her hand. After that, he never thought about holding her hand again. He didn't take the initiative in the first place. Looking at the back of Bai Hewei's far away Jue Jue, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had been stabbed with a knife.

For a long time, Zheng Yi and Li Younian have always been on the passive side in their relationship. I thought that after such a long time, Li Younian must have thought that he was too indifferent and retreated in spite of difficulties, and Zheng Yi explained something to his mother.But with the deepening of the relationship between the two of them, apart from the unwillingness and fetters in their hearts, as well as the economic gap between the two families, the difference in consumption concept and the deviation in preferences, Zheng Yi was unable to devote himself wholeheartedly to During this relationship, Zheng Yi felt a strong sense of guilt.

Li Younian is a very good girl, sweet-looking, considerate, and generous. Even Kang Jiabei said that he was lucky to have such a good girlfriend, but Zheng Yi felt that none of this was what he wanted. All he wanted was the person who had just met and said with a smile that he would invite the two of them to dinner. It made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Zheng Yi put his hands in his pockets, and Li Younian went to take his arm. The girl smiled and said, "Your senior is really handsome, is he a high school senior?"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "He's from the university, he's the acting head teacher of our class."

"So where does he work now?"

"Zhangzhou."

"Oh. Did you study in Zhangzhou?"

"Yes."

Li Younian said happily: "Me too, what school did you come from?"

"Provincial Forestry University."

"Our two schools are next door."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, Zhangzhou Normal University."

The meaningless conversation, Zheng Yi answered subconsciously, if Li Younian hadn't said to him after answering the phone: "My mother said let's go back for dinner in two nights." Zheng Yi would still be wandering away.

"This, this is not good..." He subconsciously refused.

"It's nothing bad, it's just a regular meal, you don't need to think too much, just go." Li Younian hugged Zheng Yi's arm coquettishly, Zheng Yijian really couldn't refuse, so he had to call his mother.

Chu Hongxia said on the phone: "It's not good to go empty-handed, you can buy something."

Even though Li Younian said no, Zheng Yi still bought a lot of expensive gifts. Ever since he knew the conditions of Li Younian's house, his expenses have been getting bigger and bigger. The loan, the little money he had saved and the poor wages were almost nothing left. He felt that the pressure was too great.

Li Younian's home is a multi-story apartment building with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. The home is very spacious and the decoration is luxurious enough.Zheng Yi was sitting on the retro European-style sofa, he was very reserved, and he didn't know where to put his hands.Li Younian's stepfather, Yue Heshan, and mother, Jiang Fenxian, were both at home, and they were very enthusiastic when they saw them coming. They said they had something to bring, but they weighed the value of the things, especially Jiang Fenxian, who was very obvious.Even though Zheng Yi wasn't sharp enough, he could still see the look of disgust from Li Younian's mother.Zheng Yicai felt that her high-ranking and preaching personality might not simply be an occupational disease, but also the sense of superiority brought to her by her second-married husband.Yue Heshan was very kind, he gave him cigarettes and made him tea, very courteous.

Yue Heshan said: "You Nian always tells me that you are very kind. I told her that such a good boyfriend would also bring me to meet. Hey, I called you all of a sudden. It was indeed a bit of a spur-of-the-moment idea. Don't mind it." .”

Zheng Yi said, "Where is it."

Yue Heshan asked about Zheng Yi's job again, and Zheng Yi said that he was working as the secretary of the party committee in Changchun Town.But Yue Heshan shook his head and said, "I know all the civil servants at the grassroots level in your towns and towns. My brother is like that. He only became a township mayor in his fifties. He's been working hard all day long. He hasn't made much money yet. I really don’t know when it will come out.”

Zheng Yi didn't expect that he would be rejected so quickly. Although he didn't think his job was any great, he thought that he would at least be recognized.

"If you ask me, a boy should be a bit aggressive. You can't just get such a dead salary of several thousand dollars a month. After you and You Nian get married, you can just do business with me." Yue Heshan smoked Yan, said such words in an understatement, Zheng Yi was a little angry, but he also had to admit that this was a fact, and he needed to face the status quo.He has only dated Li Younian for a long time, and he is already struggling financially. Even if he didn't think so long-term, his salary is really not much for a man.

Li Younian clapped his hands and said, "Dad, I think what you said makes sense. When Zheng Yi does business with you, I will continue to be a teacher. Oh, how great."

Jiang Fenxian didn't express any opinions. She didn't particularly approve of her daughter's relationship with Zheng Yi. She just listened to what their father and daughter said.There are many rich men introduced to my daughter, but my daughter just likes this poor boy, and there is really nothing I can do about her.

The dinner was very rich, because it was the season when the seafood was the most plentiful. There were a lot of seafood on the table, such as mantis shrimp as long as a baby's arm, big crabs weighing half a catty, prawns half a foot long... and bamboo fungus stewed Chicken soup, salad mixed with avocado, and braised pork that is said to be made of pollution-free vegetables and free-range pork from the farm.Although Li Younian's whole family was very enthusiastic, Zheng Yi always felt that their family looked down on him when the family of three advised him to eat more, such as:

"Xiao Zheng, you've never eaten such a big prawn, right? It's not the kind of farmed meat that is hard and woody. This kind is delicious."

"Our local crabs can't be eaten, and the sea water is polluted. I asked someone to buy it from other places. Try it quickly."

"Zheng Yi, eat more. The chicken stewed in chicken soup is free-range chicken raised in the countryside, and it is very nutritious."

……

Zheng Yi felt full after eating some, which was psychologically full, the feeling of fullness caused by inferiority complex, and even felt a little nauseous.

After the meal, Jiang Fenxian washed some fruits, Zheng Yi couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and wanted to leave.The two elders sat without moving, only Li Younian walked him to the door, smiled and said, "Zheng Yi, come again when you are free."

"...Well." Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, because he didn't want to come to this place again.

After coming out of Li Younian's house, the rain outside hadn't stopped, and the wiper wiped watermarks on the windshield. I don't know if this caused the blurred vision. When the lights were on, he wanted to call Bai Hewei, but he still didn't dial the number in the end.He had never been so helpless like today, missed Bai Hewei so much, and wanted to talk to him.But after being bumped into, he lost his courage even more.

When he got home, he went straight into his bedroom, and even ignored his mother knocking on the door to ask him how the dinner was going. He wanted to rush out several times to tell his mother that he wanted to end this so-called involuntary relationship. Thinking of his mother's ardent expectations for him, he flinched again, and Zheng Yi felt that he was really a coward.

The holiday was over in one day, Bai Hewei didn't really think about inviting Zheng Yi and his little girlfriend to dinner, he carried the dog egg on his way back to Zhangzhou.Dog Dan was locked in a cage, put on the back seat and fastened with a seat belt. At first, he was not used to it and kept barking. Later, he was tired and fell asleep after eating some dog food.

It was already afternoon when he arrived in Zhangzhou, and he released Goudan from the cage as soon as he got home. Goudan was still a little uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment, so he looked around ignorantly. Bai Hewei packed a piece in the corner of the balcony. After putting away the cage and pet supplies, he walked to Goudan, picked him up, and looked at him.

Goudan's big eyes showed a little uneasiness and panic. Bai Hewei rubbed his fingers against its paw and said, "From today onwards, you will be with me." Goudan was still confused, and stuck out his tongue to lick it. Bai Hewei, Bai Hewei smiled, put it on the ground, and said, "Go and have a look, this is your home."

It didn't take half a day for Goudan to get used to this place, and he ran around the house happily. Bai Hewei cooked a piece of chicken for him when he was making dinner, and he barked from being greedy.Because of the companionship, Bai Hewei seemed to feel that the house he lived in seemed less empty, and it was a good choice to take it back.

Early the next morning, Goudan started scratching the door. Bai Hewei looked at it, and it was only after five o'clock, and he didn't sleep anymore. He changed his clothes, tied Goudan with a rope, and went out for a morning walk. He also bought breakfast by the way.The efficiency of waking up early is very high. When he arrived at the work unit, he felt very energetic. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by another bouquet of fiery red roses. He took it from the young man who gave it to him and asked casually, "Who gave it to you?"

The young man said: "I can't say anything about the privacy of the guests."

"Then I won't accept it." Bai Hewei pushed the flower back.

The young man said: "If you don't accept it, I will deduct my wages."

"I don't accept flowers from strangers."

Just at this time, Liu Zinan, who had been working for seven days after a seven-day break, suddenly came to work. She immediately regained her spirits when she saw the red rose. She took the rose from the young man's hand, looked at Bai Hewei and said, "Brother Bai , and someone sent you flowers again."

Before Bai Hewei broke up with the flower sender and understood, Liu Zinan inserted a hole in the middle. The young man ran away with oil on the soles of his feet. Bai Hewei couldn't blame Liu Zinan, and said, "I'll send you off."

"Thank you, Brother Bai." Liu Zinan happily threw away all the withered flowers and replaced them with new ones.
