I am very poor

It was late autumn in November when Huo Yufei returned to China.

He has been traveling between the UK and Africa for more than two months, and he has lost a lot of weight.

The house was neatly tidied up, everything was put in its proper place, the garbage in the kitchen and bathroom had been cleared, and the refrigerator was also clean. Huo Yufei walked around the house before realizing that The suitcase was still being dragged by hand.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the sound of the wheels gurgling on the floor was paused.

Only the footsteps of one person remained.

He closed the refrigerator door, walked out of the kitchen, walked into the bedroom, and began to open drawers and cabinets one by one to see what was missing.

Except for clothes, ID cards, wallets, and keys, everything else remains intact.

Nothing was found.

Huo Yufei sat by the bed and opened the bedside table again.

My heart suddenly became nervous, and there was an envelope in it.

He held it in his hand and crushed it with his fingers. It was thin, as if there were only a few sheets of paper.

Huo Yufei stared at the envelope and studied it back and forth for a long time before deciding to open it.

There are indeed Gu Cheng’s handwriting on the several sheets of paper, which list delicious and nutritious takeaways nearby, property phone numbers, electrical repair numbers, community police phone numbers... small things that are commonly used at home, such as wrenches, thermometers, batteries, open boxes, etc. Bottle containers...where are they placed, where do he buy his favorite snacks, how to solve the occasional small computer problems, where are the regular medicines...everything, no matter how big or small.

Huo Yufei's expression was silent, and he read every word from the beginning to the end, and finally saw the last few lines.

The other party reminded him that no matter how busy he is, he must eat and rest on time; that the temperature of the air conditioner should not be turned too high at night so as not to throw off the quilt; that he should see a doctor in time if he feels uncomfortable, and that he should not be lazy to take medicine if he feels in good health.

Then there is nothing.

He didn't say what he was going to do, where he was going...and when he would be back.

Everything is unknown, everything is uncertain.

Huo Yufei retracted his gaze, casually put a few thin sheets of paper on the bed, and then picked up his cell phone to make a call.

They haven't been in touch for two weeks, one is because he is busy, very busy, and the other is because he wants to come back soon, don't push too hard, and give the little rabbit a little room to breathe.

As expected, a reminder that the number has been canceled rang through the microphone.

Huo Yufei calmly withdrew his arm and dialed another one. If he wanted to, there would always be a way to find out where Gu Cheng went.

Then, after a few beeps of "Dididi" on the phone, he quickly cut it off again.

Then it was thrown on the bedside table, the black metal body bounced twice, and fell into the opened drawer.

Huo Yufei impatiently took off his coat and threw it on the ground, kicked off his shoes at the same time, and threw himself directly on the bed.

The bed was thick and soft, as if it still had the fluffy and smooth touch of the bunny's fur on it, Huo Yufei was amused because of this association.Who made him always secretly call people "little rabbits" in his heart, didn't he just slip out of sight now?

Then he closed his eyes.

After working almost without sleep for two consecutive months and sailing for more than ten hours, Huo Yufei, who was always full of energy, had this illusion for the first time that every cell in his body was urging him to sleep immediately.

The short-lived excitement brought about by the travel and dust rush back emptied the last bit of energy in his body, he no longer forced himself, and really closed his eyes.

And rolled over to bury his eyes in the pillow.

However, in the next second, he suddenly got up quickly again, carefully pulled out a few pieces of paper from under his body, pressed them on the bedside table, and tried to smooth each piece of paper with the palm of his hand.

The originally flat paper had creases in all directions.

He stood up again, took out the basically thick reference books from the bookshelf, carefully aligned and clipped the letter papers one by one, and stacked more than ten books on top of them.Then he lay back on the bed slowly, but his eyes stayed on the books piled up high.

In a daze, I closed my eyes unconsciously and fell asleep.

It was already night when he woke up, the house was pitch black, and the silence was scary.

Huo Yufei has a little secret that no one knows.

He was a little, just a little afraid of the dark.

And it was in a very accidental situation - alone in a closed place without a little light.It doesn't matter if there are people or any animals around, even if there is a light far away from the window.

The Lama Temple area itself is not a bustling urban area, and the curtains are drawn, so the whole house is dark without any light or sound.

Huo Yufei lay motionless in the quiet darkness. After a long time, the phone that fell into the drawer suddenly buzzed and vibrated.

At the same time, the screen also lights up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to get up and put the connection by his ear.

Didn't even have time to see who it was.

"Hey?"

"Yu Fei?" Huo Qidong was going to talk about business, but his youngest son's voice on the phone became suspicious, "What are you doing now?"

Huo Yufei calmed down by himself for a few seconds: "Dad? I just woke up and got off the plane. I was a little sleepy and fell asleep."

Huo Qidong said "hmm": "have you rested?"

"good."

Huo Yufei turned on the bedside lamp while talking, and a warm light suddenly lit up on the carpet.

I also forgot to change my slippers when I entered the house. Now I got out of bed with bare feet and turned on the bedroom lights first, then the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and all the lights in the whole house were turned on.

On the phone, Huo Qidong asked him: "When will you come home?"

Huo Yufei asked: "Mom is at home recently?"

"Ms. Song was in Japan recently."

Huo Yufei joked while boiling hot water: "Oh, that's why I missed me."

Huo Qidong was also happy: "If it was Ms. Song who was talking to you, would you still dare to say that?"

Huo Yufei immediately stiffened his mouth: "Of course, why not dare, did I say something wrong?"

"Wait" came from the phone, followed by a faint sentence "Yu Fei has something to tell you", and it was handed over to another person.

Song Guozhen's voice sounded on the phone: "Yufei, what do you want to tell me?"

Huo Yufei: ...

Fortunately, he responded quickly, casually found a few problems he had encountered recently, and "asked" Song Guozhen.

Ten minutes later, the phone was returned to Huo Qidong.

Huo Yufei's voice was listless: "Father, you actually play word games."

Huo Qidong said with a smile: "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

Then I asked him how his situation in South Africa was, and whether he had encountered any difficulties.

Huo Yufei was a little surprised, since he formally talked with Huo Qidong about his choice a few months ago, the other party never asked him about what he was doing.It can be regarded as practicing "the family will not give you any support".

Obviously, Huo Qidong was in a good mood.

Huo Yufei tried a few words, but they were all avoided.

Reminiscent of Huo Zhangzuo's flickering attitude during the Chinese New Year, Huo Qidong lingered in Sydney, obviously the family had plans.

As for now...then the first results?

Huo Yufei would not think that the things that Huo Qidong and Huo Zhangzuo bothered to take care of would simply see results after a few months.

But since Huo Qidong didn't intend to talk in depth, he didn't ask any more questions, and after confirming the time for himself to go home, he hung up the phone.

He sat in the empty house for a while, and when he heard the sound of water boiling, he poured himself a cup and drank it slowly while leaning against the sink.Feeling a little hungry, I rummaged through the cabinet and only found a few packets of instant noodles.

Huo Yufei didn't dislike it either, he didn't even bother to soak, he just opened the bag and finished eating, took a shower and continued to lie down on the bed to sleep, this time he slept until noon the next day, and finally made up for the sleep he owed recently Lost.

In the evening, he went back to the main house. Huo Qidong and Ms. Song also happened to be home at this time, and they could have dinner together.

In September this year, Song Yulai flew to Sydney to continue her studies, and her boyfriend Yin Zhe went with her.

Yin Zhe's injuries have basically recovered, but a large area of ​​scars is still unavoidable. Song Yulai talked with him many times, and finally got him to agree to come to Sydney with him, so that he can continue to study and enjoy a good time at the same time. medical.

Regarding the matter of Yin Zhe and Song Yulai, Huo Qidong and Ms. Song agreed not to express their opinions.At the same time, they did not give Song Yulai any comfort for the incident half a year ago.

According to Huo Qidong's words: "You are an adult, and you have to be responsible for your own choices."

In the same way, he also said this sentence to Huo Yufei. After Ying Xiaofang's matter was dealt with at that time, Huo Qidong and Huo Yufei had a talk, and asked him to reflect on whether his handling method was appropriate or appropriate. , Are there any omissions, and why there are still uncontrollable risks in the end.

Huo Yufei thought about these questions one by one.

The reason given by Huo Qidong is that he has not yet fully grasped the essence of risk.

This made him seem to realize something.

Later, I heard that after Ying Xiaofang woke up, she learned that her mother would never see the light of day and her father would be stigmatized for the rest of her life. Under the humiliation and indignation, she suffered a great mental blow and went into shock many times.He also heard that Ying Meidong was unable to pay Ying Xiaofang's high expenses and had to cut expenses and let her be discharged from the hospital early. There were several fierce quarrels between father and daughter.After clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, human nature is also clearly revealed.

However, Huo Yufei concluded unconstrainedly: "This is the difference between investment and speculation, investment is 'optimistic', speculation is 'bullish', investment depends on the general trend, speculation depends on people's hearts."

Huo Qidong looked at him subtly for a long time, and finally nodded: "That's right, very subtle."

Seeing so little knowledge that he didn't even understand how Huo Yufei derived these.

Huo Qidong is actually very concerned about what Huo Yufei is doing. He is very conflicted. On the one hand, he hopes that Huo Yufei will succeed immediately and not lose his spirit. On the other hand, he hopes that he will suffer, knowing that things are not easy.

However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Huo Qidong is very open about it when the family's interests are not involved.

The topic at the dinner table quickly changed from here.

When talking about Li Ze's fiancée Zhang Qing planning to go to England, Ms. Song suddenly asked Huo Yufei, "Why didn't Gu Cheng come back together today?"

Huo Yufei didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Song Guozhen's ability to ask him this way shows that they have indeed completely accepted Gu Cheng, and they do not intend to interfere with him on this issue.

It's quite gratifying, if it wasn't for Gu Cheng not being by her side now.

But no matter how he evades, this matter will be known sooner or later.

Huo Yufei simply put down his chopsticks, with a natural smile on his lips: "We pressed the 'pause' button."

Huo Qidong and Ms. Song looked at each other in a tacit understanding.

Huo Yufei had already dropped the napkin and stood up: "Mom and Dad, take it easy, I'm going to rest first."

In fact he didn't go to rest.

Instead, he went around to the back of the house, Caesar's room.

The little golden dog... Caesar, who has grown into a big golden dog, hasn't seen his owner for a long time.When Huo Yufei opened the door, he was still a little worried, such as what to do if Caesar didn't recognize him, or didn't like him.

Fortunately, within a few seconds of the person and the dog looking at each other, they were immediately licked all over their chest and neck by the hot tongue, and Huo Yufei's doubts disappeared.He pampered and indulged Caesar to lick randomly for a long time, then slowly squatted down holding Caesar's neck, and stroked the soft and thick golden hair vigorously, and heard the sound of sobbing.

Caesar barked and squeezed the whole dog into Huo Yufei's arms desperately, but after all, the size of the dog is not as small as it was back then. This kind of beautiful wish of the whole dog nestled in the owner's arms will never come true again .

Upon realizing this, the whole dog was devastated.

Huo Yufei laughed, and simply sat on the ground, dragged Caesar into his lap vigorously, smoothed its fur, touched its ears and paws, and told it what happened in the past six months.

While talking, it came to Gu Cheng.

After a long time, a low "Wow" sounded, Caesar raised his upper body and licked his chin, then looked at him with big black eyes for a while, as if judging whether this behavior would be punished punish.

Huo Yufei patted his head amusedly, and was about to go upstairs to sleep.

As a result, there was ticking behind him, and the big golden dog followed behind him with an innocent look.

So that night, Caesar, who finally saw his master, got an unexpected surprise.

Caesar, who was originally allowed to lie on the carpet under the bed, carefully raised his head after his master fell asleep, then jumped onto the bed deftly, found a comfortable position at the foot of Huo Yufei's bed and lay down.

For the next few days, Huo Yufei stayed at home, reading books, processing some documents that had to be processed, swimming, and playing with Caesar by the way.

A week later, he received a call from Zhou Jianda.

Zhou Jianda told him a few words about his company, and stopped being indirect, and asked straightforwardly, "You and Gu Cheng broke up?"

Just when Caesar bit the Frisbee and ran all the way back to claim credit, Huo Yufei sat down on the lawn, went to pick up the Frisbee, and answered Zhou Jianda: "You can't say that...why did you call me specifically to ask me this?"

Probably because he was on the phone, his movements were careless. Caesar thought the master was playing with him, and he clung to the frisbee tightly and refused to let go. Huo Yufei simply let go and let him play by himself. The bitten frisbee came back and kept putting it in his hand.

Huo Yufei had no choice but to continue playing with it.

On the phone, Zhou Jianda didn't go around at all: "The phone number your second sister gave me, according to my inquiries, was also ordered by my parents. How is it? Brother Boss has delivered the goods to your door."

Huo Yufei smiled and said, "This counts as home delivery?"

Zhou Jianda touched his nose deeply ashamed.

Early in the morning of the third day, he stood at the door of Huo Yufei's bedroom.

It was very early in the morning, Huo Yufei opened the door early and saw Zhou Jianda's first sentence was, "Do you want to go to the guest room to sleep first?"

Zhou Jianda was also sleepy, and really went to the guest room to sleep.

After waking up, they finished their meal, sat in the game room and drew the curtains and started playing games.

After a few rounds, Huo Yufei still took the initiative to speak.

"What did Song Yulai tell you?"

Zhou Jianda yelled "Oops" first, controlled the car to make a sharp turn, and then answered Huo Yufei: "You should think what you told your uncle and aunt."

Huo Yufei was quite innocent: "What can I say? There is no more than one sentence in total."

Zhou Jianda suddenly said: "I'm about to win... Hey, why are you in no hurry?"

Huo Yufei asked back: "Who said I'm not in a hurry?"

But despite what he said, the car still drove slowly.

Ten seconds later, Zhou Jianda's car crossed the finish line first, and the game controller was thrown far away.

"Even if you don't say a word, the current state is worrying enough, right?" Zhou Jianda sat on the cushion and turned [-] degrees, facing Huo Yufei's profile.

"What state?" Huo Yufei sat cross-legged, selected a game on the projection through the handle, and asked Zhou Jianda at the same time, "Would you like to play a more classic one?" He stopped at a game and asked Zhou Jianda for his opinion .

Zhou Jianda propped his chin: "Not interested, it was a game five or six years ago."

Huo Yufei picked and picked from the game board on the side: "Then I'll find another one."

Zhou Jianda smiled and said: "Don't look for it, these are either already outdated or will soon be outdated. Since I heard you talk about the future development of electronic information technology, I have no interest in these games and electronic products. "

Huo Yufei paused and smiled: "It's still early... Actually it's not too early, but it still takes some time."

Zhou Jianda was in high spirits: "What's the point? You want to win! You will compress this time to the shortest possible time."

Huo Yufei didn't speak.

Zhou Jianda continued to ask him: "Right? I remember what you said, at most ten years, smart technology will set off a stormy revolution, which will bring about earth-shaking changes in life. And you will make this revolution come earlier , spread wider, have a greater impact, and respond more thoroughly, thus changing the lives of human beings in this world. Am I not mistaken?"

Huo Yufei smiled: "No."

Zhou Jianda changed his posture: "Then tell me, how do you plan to change the world next?"

Huo Yufei took a deep breath.

At this time, the door was pushed open, Dajin Goudpidianpidian squeezed in, walked to Huo Yufei's side, and put his head on his lap familiarly.The whole process was quiet and quiet, so quiet that it didn't look like the little golden dog that Zhou Jianda once knew and raised.

Zhou Jianda suddenly asked, "Is this Caesar?"

While smoothing Caesar's hair, Huo Yufei nodded inexplicably: "Yes."

Zhou Jianda said "Oh", and the next sentence naturally changed the subject.

It was also a long time later that Huo Yufei knew the reason why Zhou Jianda didn't continue to give him "positive motivation".

Zhou Jianda has long been deeply aware of Caesar's intelligence, which is very human.If Huo Yufei's situation just made him a little worried, Caesar's caring and accompanying appearance turned worry into worry.

Worries can still be spoken out, but worries cannot.
