if you are still there

Ding Xu sat there, took another magazine from the shelf next to it, flipped through two pages, and said perfunctorily: "That's very good, you can bring them here when you have time, and let them play together."

Ding Hao was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly, "No, no, you are making trouble. Doudou is a mynah. I think Doudou will start to sound the siren as soon as they meet. Forget about this kind of food chain friendship. My bird can't stand being frightened." !"

Ding Xu endured it, and said: "Ding Hao, although I know what you mean, but when you say it, I really owe it to you."

Ding Hao smiled at him, showing a mouthful of white teeth. He was really a handsome young man. He hugged Ding Xu's shoulders to greet his brothers, blinked his eyes and said, "How are you, are you in a better mood?"

Ding Xu's forehead twitched, and he said, "Get out, I'm not in the mood to play dirty jokes with you."

Ding Hao hugged him affectionately, and refused to leave: "Don't bother me, I'm talking to you seriously, I'll show you my bird when I have time..."

Ding Xu glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid that your bird will be eaten?"

"...Ding Xu, you are a rascal."

"Get out of here!"

Ding Xu succeeded in not being depressed, the guy next to him is simply too annoying, and he still has a stomachache from anger.But talking, losing a little temper, my heart is indeed much more relaxed, and it seems like I can even spit out the depression.After Ding Hao left, he also recalled it. Did Bai Bin keep Ding Hao as a pet to amuse him?But fortunately, this young master Bai raised him in captivity, and it would be a disaster if he was released.

Ding Xu's father lived in the small town for three days, and he came to Mr. Ding's place several times, and each time he had a long talk in the study.Ding Lao got angry a few more times, Ding Chenghua hesitated, but in the end he couldn't reach an agreement with Ding Lao, and the relationship between father and son became even worse.

Zhong Jie also quarreled with Ding Chenghua during the period. Zhong Jie's family background was generally good, and she had never suffered any grievances since she was a child. Naturally, she was arrogant when she came to this small town. Since she came here, she has opened a room in the hotel and lived in it. It's never been bad.After Ding Chenghua came, he found that there was a bouquet of flowers in her room every day, so he couldn't help telling her about it once, but Zhong Jie became angry and quarreled with him.

"What's wrong with sending some flowers in winter?" Ding Xu's father's words made Zhong Jie extremely wronged, "You feel bad when I spend some money? Who do you keep all your money for?"

Ding Chenghua said: "It's too extravagant and wasteful for you to do this. It's not for this season, and it's changed every day..."

"Such a few flowers are worth your anger? Oh, you can open a resort hotel for your colleagues, but I can't buy some flowers?" Zhong Jie was angry, still with resentment.

Ding Xu's father slammed the door and left after saying "You are simply unreasonable".

When Ding Chenghua came to bid farewell to Mr. Ding before leaving, Mr. Ding might still be angry and closed the door to thank the guests, even though Ding Chenghua's colleagues were also waiting in the car, they didn't open the door for them, which made him shut the door.

Ding Chenghua stood in the snow and waited for a long time, but the gate of the small courtyard did not open. His colleague was still waiting in the car, and it was not good for everyone to wait. He sighed and had to leave.

Zhong Jie and Ding Chenghua left. She didn't say anything about taking Ding Xu home for the New Year. She just called Ding Xu at the airport and praised him, saying that he was doing well with his grandfather, but he actually Let him stay in the north for the holidays.

This Spring Festival became Ding Xu's first Spring Festival in the north. Both the nanny and the driver went home on vacation. He and Ding Lao both made dumplings and watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. The phone at home kept ringing. Stop, there are a lot of people paying New Year's greetings, Mr. Ding's mood is a little better, and he greets them back with a smile. Hearing so many auspicious words, he feels much more comfortable, but his brows are still full of melancholy.

Ding Xu got up and went to the yard to set off firecrackers. When the explosion rang, Xiaohu ran around in fright in the living room, got under the sofa, and looked out.

Ding Xu was amused by its small appearance. After coming in, he squatted on the sofa and reached out to touch its head, letting it continue to curl up inside. The dark and narrow place gave Xiaohu a little more security, so he curled up there and licked it. Licking Ding Xu's finger, he bit it gently with his small teeth like a baby.

Firecrackers and fireworks were going off outside, and it was very lively. Ding Xu vaguely heard his mobile phone ringing, and went over to take a look. There were three missed calls on it, all of which were Xiao Liangwen's number.

Dial it back and it was connected quickly. The person over there smiled and wished him a new year, "Happy New Year, Ding Xu, make a fortune in the New Year."

Ding Xu also smiled, and said, "You too, happy new year."

***

Ding Xu didn't come home during the Chinese New Year, and Mr. Ding saw it and scolded his incompetent son in his heart. All that fell on Ding Xu was his heartache.He purposely called Ding Xu to his side and asked him, "Ding Xu, is there anything you want? Grandpa can arrange it for you."

Ding Xu usually doesn't want to disturb the old man. When he heard him say something, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Grandpa, didn't you say that there was a foreign army doing training here? Could you let a friend of mine go there to learn?" After thinking about it, he added, "I want to go too. It's good to learn a few tricks, and I can deal with any situation."

Mr. Ding agreed with this proposal, and said, "I'll contact you. Your friend is Xiao Xiao, right?"

Ding Xu didn't hide it either, he nodded and said yes.

Mr. Ding had a good impression of Xiao Liangwen, so he made an exception and boasted a few words, saying: "This kid is in good physical condition, and the army over there is also recruiting. Let me recommend it. Maybe he can make an exception to get in." On the phone, he turned around and asked Ding Xu, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Xiao went home for the New Year. When will he be back?"

Ding Xu said: "You can come back before the [-]th. The army doesn't take vacations, does it?"

Old Ding smiled and said, "There is no vacation for the troops who are on call at any time."

After the call was made, Mr. Ding quickly entrusted his old friend to make arrangements, and gave Ding Xu an address and contact information, and asked him and Xiao Liangwen to find it by themselves.

"Coincidentally, my old friends said that the little grandson from Bai's family is also training at the base. Maybe you can meet him." Old Ding said with a smile.

Ding Xu was stunned holding the note, "Bai Bin?"

Old Ding said: "Yes, that kid is very good. If you meet him, make a good relationship with him. This kid is good and has a bright future."

Ding Xu didn't expect such a coincidence, thinking that meeting Bai Bin would inevitably see Ding Hao, and if that poor kid saw Xiao Liangwen, he didn't know how he would hurt himself, thinking of this made his scalp tingle.

But looking down at the note, I was still relieved.From the very beginning, he wanted to arrange for Xiao Liangwen to join the army for training and learn some techniques.Although Xiao Liangwen's current path doesn't touch those things any more, jade and other things have high risks and quick money, so it's not a good thing.

Jade is now the cheapest time. After three years, the first small peak will be ushered in. After ten years, the price will be sky-high, and Hetian suet jade is even more rare.Especially after a few years in southern Xinjiang, there are no jade pickers anymore. Only excavators work mechanized on the riverbed.

Let Xiao Liangxue learn some skills, so that he can rest assured when he goes to Xinjiang.

Xiao Liangwen came back later than expected, and got stuck ordering after the Lantern Festival, and came here to meet Ding Xu as soon as he arrived.When I arrived, I found out that it was after five o'clock in the morning. Ding Xu shouldn't be up yet, but he was reluctant to leave, so he parked the car in front of Ding Xu's house and waited, while he huddled in the back seat and waited.

The second-hand Jetta car had no heating, and Xiao Liangwen was also cold, and he was too tired all the way, so he fell asleep in the car after a while.

When Ding Xu came out to throw garbage in the morning, he saw this black car parked in front of his house. The windows were too heavily filmed to see the inside, but he always felt that only one person could do it.He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xiao Liangwen: ——You come out.

As soon as the text message was sent, there was movement in the car, and soon a tall boy got out of the car. When he saw him, he grinned, "Ding Xu, I'm back."

Ding Xu kicked the tires of the car, and couldn't help but want to get angry when he saw him, "Do you have a driver's license? The motorcycle last time is fine, why are all the cars driving this time, whose car is it?"

Xiao Liangwen smiled, handed him the certificate, and said, "There is a certificate, the boss's car. Don't be afraid, I've practiced well on the way back."

Ding Xu glared at him, took the driver's license and looked at the date of birth that was printed on it three years earlier, and his brain hurt, and said, "Did you drive back by yourself?"

Xiao Liangwen moved closer, his eyes sparkling, "You care about me, right?"

Ding Xu kicked him on the knee and said, "Come in, wash your face, and eat something."

Xiao Liangwen stood there without moving, staring at him and said, "Have you considered what I said before I left?"

Ding Xu said vaguely: "You come in first, eat something before we talk..."

Unmoved, Xiao Liangwen stood there and asked again: "Have you considered it?"

Ding Xu was a little annoyed by his question, and said, "Thought it over, I agree!"

A smirk appeared on Xiao Liangwen's face, and he followed quickly, and was about to hug Ding Xu from behind, "Ding Xu, I'm so happy, I was so worried all the way, I thought..."

Ding Xu leaned his elbow against him and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble! Grandpa hasn't woken up yet, so keep your voice down and don't get too close to me."

Xiao Liangwen lowered his voice, and said with a little excitement: "I thought you were going to avoid me, Ding Xu, I have to go out for a while, and after I come back this time, I can start some business by myself , wait for me for a while, and I will settle us both." He looked at Ding Xu and smiled, like a big wolf dog wagging its tail, "I can take good care of you, trust me."

Ding Xu was infected by his stupidity. It was as if all the unhappiness in the family a few days ago had been driven out of his mind, leaving only this silly kid in front of him who couldn't stop having fun.He reached out and patted Xiao Liangwen's cheek, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you have to be more confident, you know?"

Xiao Liangwen put his hand on his face, rubbed it vigorously, and said with a smile, "Okay!"
