Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Chapter 17 Mid-Autumn Festival

The so-called meeting is worse than meeting by chance, since it is also a kind of fate to meet Ben on this street in the south of the city where people come and go.He Zhi invited Wei Lai to travel with him as he wished, and Wei Lai seldom refuses other people's invitations, so he readily agreed.

Among this group of people, the most unhappy one is Xi Qiu.She took a hard bite of the candied haws in her hand, and stared at Wei Lai with angry eyes—this guy is really annoying, he said bad things about Miss last time, and this time he wants to eat the candied haws she bought for Miss!Do you dare not to appear in front of her lady again? !

Being stared at by Xi Qiu's cold eyes, Wei Lai was actually quite embarrassed.In one hand she was still holding the small wine jug she brought out from the Wang family, and in the other hand was the candied haws stuffed by He Zhigang... Candied haws for wine?This is really a strange combination, and I don't know how many people looked at it along the way.Especially beside her was a beautiful woman with a bookish look walking with her, the combination was like the candied haws and the wine jar, it was inconsistent everywhere.

Wei Lai was a little uncomfortable, but He Zhi was very generous.She has probably gotten used to the various eyes of people around her, so she doesn't take the curious and scrutinizing eyes of passers-by to heart, and she can still smile and tease at this time: "When we first met, I felt that General Wei was very heroic, but I didn't want to You actually like food like candied haws."

At this time, Wei Lai was still thinking about what happened last time. Although He Zhi never expressed any inappropriateness when they met again, she always wanted to explain something, but unexpectedly, she hadn't waited for her to figure out how to speak. , but was ridiculed by He Zhi first.

This is just a trivial matter, and Wei Lai has always had a good temper, so naturally he won't get angry.She looked down at the candied haws in her hand, but she couldn't help laughing: "I have loved sweet and sour food since I was a child. I used to like to eat this candied haws. It's just that the last time I ate it was seven years ago. Years ago." He paused, and added: "Unfortunately, it's also Mid-Autumn Festival."

As early as when Wei Lai appeared, He Zhi could tell that she was in a bad mood tonight, and that sullen look was simply incompatible with the lively scene around her.He Zhi is not usually a troublesome person, but maybe because of the special Mid-Autumn Festival, or maybe because of the difference in the person in front of her, she finally asked a lot: "Are you homesick?"

The same sentence, Wang Hu also asked earlier, when Wei Lai was able to nod and admit it generously, keeping his emotions restrained.But He Zhiwen's gentle words seemed to evoke all kinds of emotions and melancholy in her. She couldn't help but think of her mother, her home, and everything good or bad in her hometown...

Wei Lai didn't reply, but He Zhi had been keenly aware of the changes in the emotions of the people around him.On the reunion day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, what can make people feel sad is that they cannot be reunited in a foreign land.With He Zhi's intelligence, she naturally guessed the outcome, since she asked Wei Lai, she also wanted Wei Lai to talk about it, lest she be sad alone in such a day.

It was rare not to think about whether it was appropriate or not, He Zhirou said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the city is full of joy. But I can see that you are not happy. If possible, can you tell me about your home?"

Wei Lai raised his head when he heard the words, and met He Zhi's soft and concerned eyes with a glance, and couldn't help but move in his heart.Perhaps the homesickness for many years really wanted to find someone to talk to, or maybe it was because no one had ever treated her so tenderly, or maybe it was just because of the atmosphere, Wei Lai really wanted to say something at this moment.

After a long while, Wei Lai looked away, and said in a flat and soft voice: "My family is in a small town in the south, the town is not big and not rich, but most of the people in the town are simple. My family has seven or eight acres of paddy fields and a farm ox. They plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn. They live a peaceful and peaceful life. It’s just that my father passed away early, and my mother and I were the only ones at home. In those years, my mother always treated me very well, but it’s a pity that now I haven't seen her for seven years, and I don't know how she's been doing these years."

He Zhi heard this, and couldn't help but said: "Little General Wei, don't blame me for talking too much. Now that the war is settled, you can be regarded as successful. Since you miss your mother, why don't you take a leave of absence and return home to bring her to the capital?"

When He Zhi asked, Wei Lai's expression became much more relaxed. She smiled and said, "No need, my mother definitely doesn't want to come. I have already handed in my resignation letter this morning, when will I get it?" If you reply, you can also disarm and return to the fields.”

Wei Lai's identity is a mystery, so no one has ever understood her persistence in resigning from office.Including He Zhi at this moment, she didn't understand her approach very much. She blinked and said, "Isn't it good to return home? Why do you have to resign? Don't you feel it's a pity that years of hard work go to waste? If you insist on going home, Maybe you can ask for an external transfer."

After all, asking for a foreign transfer is still in the officialdom. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Even if she can hide it for a while, it doesn't mean she can hide it forever.What about marrying a wife and having children?What about official entertainment?Wei Lai was no longer willing to bother about these things anymore, so she simply made a quick cut to kill all troubles here.

"Thank you, Ms. He, for your kindness, but I don't like the right and wrong in the officialdom. It would be great if I can live until now and resign and go home." This is Wei Lai's answer.

He Zhi took a deep look at her when she heard the words, and couldn't help but sighed secretly in her heart, but she stopped persuading her.It's not that she gave up, it's just that she knows that Wei Lai's path to resignation may not be as simple as she thought.

The so-called knowing the son is like the father, but the one who can understand the father's mind the most is nothing but the children they have raised themselves.He Zhi knew very well that her father had already taken a fancy to General Xiao Wei. Although today's reunion seemed to be a chance encounter, it could be said that her father was behind it.However, there has never been a precedent for the person or thing Lord Shang Shu likes to let go easily.

Naturally, these words cannot be said to General Xiaowei, and neither can He Zhi.But seeing that the topic became serious, He Zhi also changed the subject, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have never left the capital since I was born, and I don't know what this small town in the south will be like?"

When mentioning this, Wei Lai's seriousness faded away, and he brought a smile on his face again: "Of course it can't compare to the prosperity of the capital city. But the green mountains and green waters don't have a certain tranquility."

This topic was indeed much easier. Seeing Wei Lai's gentle expression, He Zhi asked again: "I heard that the winter in the south is also very warm, and there is no snow?"

Wei Lai shook his head and replied: "No, it will fall, but it's not as big as in the north. Every winter there will be a few light snowfalls, and the snowflakes will fall all over the place, but they won't accumulate at all. It won't take long. It’s all melted. Before I went to northern Xinjiang, I never knew that winter snow could fall so heavily. The sky is full of snow, which can dye the world into white, and people can’t see it clearly even if they stand five steps away. .”

He Zhi blinked, and unconsciously there was yearning in his eyes: "From what you said, the scenery in northern Xinjiang seems to be quite unique, and it's worth seeing. It's a pity that I'm trapped in this capital city , have never been anywhere."

Probably because of years of fighting, Wei Lai didn't have a good impression of Beijiang, so he immediately vetoed it: "No, it's better not to go to Beijiang."

"What about the small town in the south? If I can go someday, how about you showing me?" He Zhi asked suddenly.

Wei Lai always felt that there seemed to be deep meaning in He Zhi's words, but at this moment she still nodded and replied: "Okay."

The author has something to say: Congratulations to Ms. He for successfully hooking up with General Xiao Wei! ! !
