Night walk

Qiao Yixiao didn't change his major afterwards.

He just started working after the year, so it stands to reason that Mo Zhao shouldn't be busy.But until Qiao Yixiao was about to move back to the suburbs, Mo Zhao was still missing.

Because Mo Zhao is on a business trip again.

In the past, Qiao Yixiao had read many reports, and even heard many people complaining that civil servants are just a group of people who just take money and do nothing. The work is easy and the money is a lot.No one in his family worked in a government unit, and he didn't know much about it, but he thought, since they all said that, there must be something for reference?

Later, he got to know Mo Zhao, and then got to know his colleagues through Mo Zhao, and he realized that the rumors were all false.Mo Zhao was crazy busy, and Mo Zhao's colleagues were always busy too.They are not people who have no ability at all. It's fine if they have good education, and they work even harder.

When he was sitting in the car back to the suburbs with Kui Kui in his arms, he leaned against the car window and thought about it quietly.

In the past ten days, the two had been in contact, and Mo Zhao called to ask him how his professional considerations were going.

He said no.

Mo Zhao seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. He didn't ask the reason, but just said yes.

He wanted to say a few more words, but there was already someone called "Director Mo" on the other end. He was always sensible, so he took the initiative to hang up the phone.He thought, so Mo Zhao is really busy this time, he seems to be in a meeting again.

Aunt Dong looked back and saw him looking thoughtful, she seemed to be in a bad mood.Then he smiled and asked: "Yi Xiao, there is a good chestnut in front, do you want to eat it?"

It's okay not to mention chestnuts, but when he mentions chestnuts, he thinks of the scene where he saw Mo Zhao peeling chestnuts that day.

He also ate all the chestnuts that Mo Zhao peeled that day.The other half was still unpeeled. He peeled it himself and it was delicious.

He said yes, and Xiao Zhe stopped to buy chestnuts.

Qiao Yixiao looked at Aunt Dong and asked, "Auntie, has he always peeled the chestnuts?"

Aunt Dong was taken aback, and whispered: "Mr. Mo told you all?"

"Well, that's right. It started when I came back from the hospital?" Qiao Yixiao said without changing his expression.

Aunt Dong smiled embarrassedly: "He didn't let me tell you before."

"why?"

"Auntie doesn't know either."

Qiao Yixiao thought to himself, hmph, if he knew who peeled the chestnuts at that time, he would definitely not eat them!

At this time, Xiao Zhe came back with four paper bags of chestnuts as usual, smiling, and handed the chestnuts to the back when he came in.Aunt Dong was about to take it, but Qiao Yixiao took it directly with long hands and long arms.

"..." Aunt Dong finally said, "Auntie is here to strip you?"

"No, I'll do it myself." Qiao Yixiao's hand was already ready, and he quickly threw a chestnut into his mouth in a few seconds.

Xiao Zhe and Aunt Dong looked at each other, and he asked: What happened again?

Aunt Dong winked: I don't know either!

Xiao Zhe shrugged and continued driving.

When he returned to the house, Qiao Yixiao ate more than half of one of the bags by himself.

Aunt Dong was about to persuade him not to eat any more, so he carried his schoolbag, chestnuts, picked up the cat, and got out of the car first.

Miss Jin, who was always afraid of him, was waiting for them at the door, obviously knowing that they were coming back today.

Qiao Yixiao stopped in front of the door and said, "Happy New Year."

After all, Kui Kui also knew her well, so she also followed suit with a "meow".

The golden girl seemed to be a little less nervous now, and whispered: "New, happy new year."

Qiao Yixiao went around her and walked in. Just as he was about to sit down and change his shoes, Kwai Kui had already happily jumped to the ground and ran upstairs to its favorite room.Qiao Yixiao thought it was funny, did the little fat man regard this place as his home?

But that's right, it was bought by Mo Zhao after all. Naturally, where Mo Zhao's home is, so is his home.

Sometimes when I think about it, Kui Kui is better than him.

Ever since Mo Zhao started working, Qiao Yixiao has not been idle. After all, he will take the exam with his classmates after the school starts.Although he has no plans to go abroad at all, and he doesn't care about his grades, he has always had a competitive spirit since he was a child.From that day on, he resumed his school routine, got up early to review his homework, and ate meals on time.

At this moment, when I returned to the house in the suburbs, I was only slightly stunned for a while, and then I went upstairs to study.

Pushing open the door of the study room, there was no sense of desertion at all.Even if Miss Jin doesn't live here, Aunt Dong will arrange for someone to come and clean it every day.He closed the door, walked to the desk, took the book out of the bag, and walked to the window to look out, the corner of the garden was still empty.

The sunflower seeds given to him by the gardener were in the drawer, and he looked there for a while.Spring is here, and it's the best season for planting sunflowers.

Finally, he looked away and sat down to review his homework.

Or do not plant.

At this moment, in another city, Mo Zhao came out of the conference room with a few subordinates, and the deputy director of the local greening bureau was talking with him.All the way to the elevator entrance, Mo Zhao reached out to shake his hand, and the man was still talking.Mo Zhao looked at his watch, and the man suddenly realized: "Look at me! I forgot the time as soon as I spoke. I really hit it off with Director Mo!" The place is not a municipality directly under the central government like Shanghai. But it's only at the deputy director level, not as good as Mo Zhao, the director.

"I also hit it off with Chief Meng."

"It's a pity that I don't have time to eat a meal!" Director Meng said with great regret.

"It's okay, there will be another time, we will visit frequently in the future."

"That's right! Let's get together again next month when we go to Shanghai?"

"no problem."

"Director Namo, you are going to catch the train, and I will send it here! Downstairs, they have arranged the car, and they will take you to the train station!"

"You're welcome, please come back soon."

Having said that, Director Meng finally let go of his hand.

Mo Zhao smiled, let go of his hands, and walked into the elevator with his subordinates.After the elevator doors closed, someone behind him let out a sigh of relief.

"Mo Chu, these people are too good at talking. Let me tell you, if they didn't achieve anything, they would not be able to compare with us, but they would overwhelm us with words, and pile up a basket of useless good words in the end. Some What can they do if they are capable! If they are capable, don’t want us to help!” Xiao Shi said bluntly, he has been on business trips with Mo Zhao several times, and his words are a little more presumptuous than others.

The others glanced at Mo Zhao, and when they saw Mo Zhao was smiling, they began to agree with him.What's more, they didn't like the style of doing things here.If you just talk but don't do it, you are called a giant of language and a dwarf of action.

Naturally, Mo Zhao didn't care what these subordinates said, so he looked at his watch again.

Aunt Dong called him last night and told him that he was going to move back to the suburbs today, so it's almost here now, right?

As for Qiao Yixiao?

Forget it, except for asking him for something, it is impossible to take the initiative to call him.

Xiao Shi asked him: "Mo Chu, shall we go to the hotel to pick up our luggage and go to the station to eat, or after we finish eating? The train is at two o'clock in the afternoon, we still have enough for a meal."

Mo Zhao looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Where do you want to eat?"

"After eating, go to Mo Chu, there's nothing to eat there!"

"Okay." Outside, Mo Zhao always had a good temper, and his subordinates were not too afraid of him.

Hearing this, everyone happily got into the car.

After all, Mo Zhao didn't take out his mobile phone to make a call.

Qiao Yi stayed at his desk and read for a while, and when it was time for dinner, he was hungry.

He looked up in surprise, why didn't Aunt Dong come to call him?Usually, my aunt would come up to ask him to eat 10 minutes before the scheduled time.

He put down the book and pen and walked outside.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Kui Kui squatting by the door. When he saw him, he "meowed" unhappily.

Qiao Yixiao bent down to pick it up, walked downstairs and said, "Little guy, just say it if you think about it, squatting outside without making a sound, I thought you were having fun basking in the sun." He shook it, "It's getting fatter and fatter."

He walked to the first floor, didn't see Aunt Dong, and went to the kitchen, and heard Aunt Dong's hesitant voice outside: "I can't—" It seemed to be calling someone?He had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls, so he turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't expect the little fat man to scream.

Aunt Dong immediately hung up the phone and went out, saying, "Are you hungry?" Her face was still somewhat flustered.

Qiao Yixiao thought to herself, why even Aunt Dong is a little afraid of him now... Why did she panic when she saw him.

"Auntie, keep calling, it's okay."

Aunt Dong hung up the phone early and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll serve you food."

When he was eating, Aunt Dong was still with him as usual.After all, he could only eat with his left hand in the past, and she wanted to accompany him in case he was inconvenient.But he recovered now. After eating half a bowl of rice, he found that Aunt Dong who was standing beside him was still in a daze, so he said, "Auntie, you can go eat too. My hand is healed now, so it's okay."

Only then did Aunt Dong come back to her senses, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll be with you."

After Qiao Yixiao finished eating a bowl of rice, she looked up, Aunt Dong was still in a daze.He put down his chopsticks and called her, "Auntie?"

"Huh?!" Aunt Dong snapped back to her senses.

"What's the matter with you? What happened?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Impossible, tell me, auntie, is there something wrong at home? If so, you can just go back, it doesn't matter here."

"no……"

"It's not about the family, what is it?"

Aunt Dong looked up at him, Qiao Yixiao was clearly sitting there, shorter than her, wearing a simple sweater, but she had an imposing manner on her body.

Although that aura couldn't be compared with Mo Zhao, and she couldn't help but want to bow her head when she saw it, but it was different from before.

She couldn't help thinking that on Christmas day, he didn't wear socks again, and Mr. Mo told her.

In the past, Qiao Yixiao would not be able to say anything.

But he spoke for her that day, and walked out of the restaurant unhappily after speaking.

She still remembered, after Qiao Yixiao walked out of the restaurant.Mo Zhao glanced at her and said, "Auntie, Xiaoxiao lost his mother a long time ago, that's why he likes you."

That clearly means that the reason why your Auntie Dong has stayed here until now and earned so much money easily is because she has a bit of maternal love that Qiao Yixiao lacks.If you can't even do basic work well, then get out early.Now I treat you kindly only for Xiaoxiao's sake.

She immediately said: "I will never make such a mistake again in the future!"

Mo Zhao didn't say anything, just glanced at her again, turned around and left.

She was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground.

Mo Zhao always wore a mask in front of outsiders, and naturally he did the same in front of Aunt Dong and the others.Auntie Dong was afraid of him, but she had limited time getting along with her, so she naturally didn't know what he was like in real life, so she usually felt that this job couldn't be better.

After seeing Mo Zhao's true face that day, he almost fell ill from fright.

Later she thought, no wonder Yi Xiao is always depressed, how can she be happy with such a person?

But she thought again, even if she knew that Mr. Mo was such a person, Yixiao dared to talk back to him, even dared to refute him, and even made a fuss to the hospital, is it that Qiao Yixiao is more terrifying?

She shook her head again, Yixiao was still a child, she was thinking too much.

Today, when she saw Qiao Yixiao like this, she was suddenly taken aback.

When did he start sitting there, staring at people intently, with such a terrifying aura?
