rice story

The dormitory area of ​​the farm is on the other side of the entire base, and there is still a not-so-short distance between the administration building.

Cheng Yunpeng has completely mastered the correct use of the seat belt of this broken pickup truck after careful exploration several times later.

As soon as I got in the car, I fixed myself honestly.

After driving for about five minutes, Zhao Dami turned his head and said to Cheng Yunpeng who had been pulling on his seat belt.

"arrive"

Cheng Yunpeng calmed down his overwhelmed stomach after bumping and playing all the way, and then slowly opened the door and got out of the car. He just walked around the car and looked up... when he was stunned, he pointed to the front and murmured to Zhao Dami.

"You guys, call this... a dormitory?"

A group of exquisite and lovely small villas, small houses with red tiles and white walls, are scattered on a raised hill, and a small stream flows around the hill. Seen from a distance, the stream is clear and bright. There was a rattling sound.

The place where they are standing now is a small parking lot, and there is a relatively large building next to it, which looks like a comprehensive entertainment area...

After seeing Cheng Yunpeng, who was nothing but the land but the shed for several days, he turned his head to look at Zhao Dami beside him in a daze, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth...

He suddenly felt that he might have to re-estimate the level of richness of this local boss who drove a pickup truck...

The two walked across a small bridge to a small two-story villa. There was a water room in front of the house and a mountain in the back. The window sills were filled with beautiful flowers, and the four corners of the eaves on the second floor were hung with Four strings of exquisite small wind chimes, jingling when the wind blows, has a special taste...

Zhao Dami took out the key with the plastic bag in one hand, opened the door and left the house. Cheng Yunpeng stood at the door and looked around, sighing inwardly before following in strides.

"Pengpeng, the room card is on the coffee table." Zhao Dami had just washed two apples when he saw Cheng Yunpeng come in and handed him one.

Cheng Yunpeng took a bite, looked around, and praised unabashedly: "I like this place, it's great!"

"Live here if you like it, new house, no one has ever lived in it..." Zhao Dami looked at Cheng Yunpeng with a smile, and returned happily in his heart: "By the way, I also put the car keys on the coffee table. The license plate number is HH00000, in the parking lot, you drive first..."

"Ah, I don't need the car..."

"I haven't seen you so polite a few days ago? Take it and drive it. It's quite a long walk to the base..."

"I'm not being polite to you...I can't drive..."

Seeing Zhao Dami turned his head to look at him, Cheng Yunpeng felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Before, I was very busy with schoolwork and didn't take the test. It's convenient to live near the school. I don't need to drive much. Besides, I don't plan to stay there for a long time. ...I was thinking about when I would go back to China and take the exam again..."

"You...have you always wanted to go back to China? I heard that your tutor really wants you to stay in school..."

Cheng Yunpeng looked at the people next to him, he couldn't see Zhao Dami's mood when he asked this sentence, so he had to answer.

"...It's said that the tired bird returns to its nest...the country is also very good"

"Ah That's good"

Zhao Dami responded and didn't say anything more.

He actually wanted to ask, what will your wife do when you return to China?Your parents are not in the country, since you have been away for so long, why do you have to come back?

But Zhao Dami couldn't ask, just kept silent for a while, bent down to pick up the room card and car keys, turned around and hooked Cheng Yunpeng's shoulder.

"Let's go, they should be waiting for us to eat..."

The two people in the car suddenly looked at each other tacitly and were speechless.

Cheng Yunpeng originally thought that Zhao Dami would ask him why he left without saying goodbye, but Cheng Yunpeng didn't know how to answer, he had some unspeakable expectations in his heart, but also some unstoppable shame.

This hut reminded him of that grandpa's house, and he thought of the boy who was waiting for him outside the door of the house—that was the last time he saw Zhao Dami before going abroad.

If I had known that I would have to wait for the next 8 years or even longer, I would really regret not hugging him well at that time...

Cheng Yunpeng turned his head to look at Zhao Dami, thinking about it, his eyes suddenly became moist...

"What's wrong with Pengpeng? Are you uncomfortable?" Zhao Dami manually shifted down the gear, slowed down the car, and asked him, "Did you drive too fast and feel a little bumpy?"

"Oh...no..." Cheng Yunpeng turned around quickly, afraid that Zhao Dami would see something.

It was not until he got off the car that Zhao Dami took out the room card from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Then I won't give you the key, I'll pick you up."

After speaking, he went directly upstairs.

Cheng Yunpeng took the room card hesitantly, stood there for a while, and chased after him, thinking in his heart, J and A should live there too, in fact, I can come here with their car...

But he suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

He would like Zhao Dami to pick him up every day, the first person he would see when he wakes up every morning is Zhao Dami, and he would use various identities and reasons... as long as he could stay by Zhao Dami's side.

At noon, everyone had a light meal in the cafeteria, and Xiao Li enthusiastically introduced everyone to Cheng Yunpeng.They are all about the colleagues in charge of this project. They are all young people and there is no generation gap between them.

It can be seen that Zhao Dami has a good relationship with them, and everyone did not treat him as a serious big boss, and they did not shy away from talking about topics during the meeting.Sure enough, as I was talking, I went to talk about "Mr. Zhao's mysterious lover"...

Wang Yueyue from the technical department is a very happy-looking girl who is very lively. She just graduated from school not long ago, and she still has a kind of vigor on her face, making her extremely noisy.

"...I know, I know! Mr. Zhao must have said nothing to protect her...Maybe there is some dark and turbulent force behind the two of them that makes it impossible for them to be together...You know Romeo With Juliet? By the way, do you think she is some kind of competitor of our company??"

Zhao Dami watched her twittering, pretended to stare at her, and put a piece of braised pork on the plate for her: "Eat and eat, so much food can't stop your mouth?"

Xiao Li stood up and said to Wang Yueyue: "That's right, Wang Yueyue, are you stupid? Mr. Zhao is here by himself, why are you so imaginative, you won't ask directly?"

Wang Yueyue chewed the meat and whispered, "It's not like I never asked..."

Cheng Yunpeng sat quite far away from Zhao Dami, and several long tables were put together, one at one end and the other at the other end.Now that I hear everyone discussing this matter, it is not easy to ask directly, but in fact, I am very curious, so I raised my head and glanced at Zhao Dami, but suddenly found that Zhao Dami was also looking at him, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I had no choice but to smile at Zhao Dami...

At this time, I saw Xiao Li running over with the dinner plate in his hands, squeezed Jimmy away, raised his eyebrows, and said to Cheng Yunpeng in a cheap way: "Mr. Cheng, I heard that you and our boss used to be friends. ? Then you know..."

Cheng Yunpeng was swallowing a ball, when Xiao Li suddenly ran over and startled him, he coughed: "...cough cough...what?"

Cheng Yunpeng looked at Xiao Li's trembling eyebrows and felt that his eyes were going to go blind. Slowly, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Dami. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any special reaction, and he was still eating in silence, he again He turned his face to Xiao Li and said.

"To be honest, I don't know...Actually, Mr. Zhao and I haven't seen each other for a long time...I just met this time when I came here..."

"Ah? Is that so? Seeing how good your relationship is, I thought you were friends for many years." Xiao Li said regretfully.

"It's...it's been a friend for many years... It's been a long time since we haven't contacted...", Cheng Yunpeng looked at Zhao Dami's expressionless face and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But Xiao Li still didn't notice the unhappiness in Cheng Yunpeng's heart: "How come? Even if you go abroad, you can contact me! Why don't you make a phone call or something? Good friend, it's a pity to lose contact..."

"...It's not...I...", Cheng Yunpeng didn't know how to explain it, so he heard Zhao Dami say it suddenly.

"My house didn't have a phone at the time! Xiao Li, are you finished?"

"It's not over, boss..." Xiao Li was completely dazzled by curiosity. He thought that Zhao Dami was pretending to be angry at him as usual, and he didn't take it seriously. He turned to Cheng Yunpeng again: "Mr. Can you write back? I remember I had an American pen pal when I was a kid... for many years..."

Suddenly Zhao Dami couldn't bear it any longer, and threw the spoon into the enamel dinner plate with a "bang".Then he stood up, looked at Cheng Yunpeng, and said, "Are you full? I'll take you back to rest."

Cheng Yunpeng also wanted to escape. He knew that all the questions Xiao Li asked were unintentional, but they were like knives pierced into his heart.

He knew that his irresponsible departure back then, no matter what the purpose was, was unfair to Zhao Dami.At that time, he regarded Zhao Dami as his only friend, and why didn't Zhao Dami not?

No matter as a friend or anyone else, Cheng Yunpeng was the one who apologized to Zhao Dami first, and to this day, I still owe him an explanation...

It's like a thorn stuck in the throat, unable to swallow or spit it out...

Cheng Yunpeng followed Zhao Dami without saying a word, all the way to the parking lot, only to see Zhao Dami who was standing next to the pickup suddenly turned around and said to him: "Xiao Li is unintentional...don't worry about it superior..."

Cheng Yunpeng was on the verge of tears, feeling that the guilt towards Zhao Dami seemed to be a little more in his heart.He stood by the car door and thought for a while, then quickly turned around and pulled the handle, and got into the car.

"Rice, I'm sorry...I was..."

"...It's okay, it's been so long..." Zhao Dami interrupted him suddenly, but without looking at him, he turned the key and started the car.
