the other side of the fireworks

After making an appointment to meet, Xia Fengshu said to the police, "I'll go get the money."

After paying the deposit, she got in a taxi and went straight to the meeting place she had agreed with Xu An.

It was a Japanese restaurant, Xu An was waiting at the door, got off the taxi, Xia Fengshu burst into tears.

Difficult to swallow is a state of anger, higher than rage and swearing.

Xu An said: "Don't be angry, eat, I'll beat her when I'm full?"

Xia Fengshu looked tired and smiled weakly, "Can you fight?"

"Not very good, but I am born with excellent conditions, long arms, and good bicep strength."

"Okay, do what you say, if you don't go, you're a puppy." Xia Fengshu picked up the chopsticks. She ate Japanese food once when she was in love with Tong Zhan. She is not very used to the taste, but she has never resisted meat.

Xu Anshi didn't know what to eat. Thinking of Xia Fengshu's grievances and missed exams, she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to beat up that landlord.

Xia Fengshu's attitude seemed to be fully supportive.

After dinner, Xia Fengshu stood at the entrance of the restaurant and looked around. Xu An thought she was hesitating whether to return to the rented house tonight, and said, "Don't go back, it's a place of right and wrong."

"I was wondering whether the landlord's house should go east or west." Xia Fengshu looked very serious.

Xu An's heart was churning, did he really hit the door?

"This way." Xia Fengshu pulled Xu An to the west, Xu An believed it, and said, "Do you really want to use your fists to solve the problem?"

"Don't dare!"

"Dare." Xu An raised his chest and said, "I just think that using this method to help you vent your anger is really dishonorable."

"Don't find a way out."

"I didn't find a way out, so don't underestimate me." As he spoke, Xu An waved for a taxi and got in first, followed by Xia Fengshu. The driver asked where he was going, and Xu An looked back at Xia Fengshu. Maple, Xia Fengshu said: "The Honest Inn."

Then they looked at each other and smiled with Xu An, their thoughts coincided with each other.

The night was blocked by curtains, but the room was still full of the bustling atmosphere of the city. Xia Fengshu turned on the TV, turned it off, turned it on, and turned it off again.Xu An frowned, "The TV didn't mess with you, don't mess with it."

Xia Fengshu threw the remote control to take a bath, Xu An lay on the bed, thinking about the solution to this matter, what if the old lady couldn't wake up?

Money, the landlord just wants to extort money, Xia Fengshu's character will not give in, even if he is willing to pay the money.

Then there is the relationship, looking for a relationship at the police station to calm things down, but where will she go to make a relationship, if Jie Chu is there, there will be a way.

"Go back, I want to be alone for a while." Xia Fengshu stood by the bed at some point.

"Stay here, I won't bother you." Xu An lazily turned his back to Xia Fengshu.

"Why don't you bother, you were criticized for watching TV just now."

"I won't talk anymore, you treat me as a display." Xu An made up his mind not to leave.

"Why are you so thick-skinned! You can't even drive him away." Xia Fengshu was annoyed.

Xu An said nothing, no matter how Xia Fengshu drove her away, she would not leave. She knew that the other party needed her, and driving her away was the last preparation before the baptism of the soul.

Sure enough, Xia Fengshu stopped chasing her away, lay down under the quilt, turned on the TV, and didn't know whether to watch it or not.

In fact, it is difficult for Xu An to stay. My aunt prepared a table of good food to celebrate, but she missed it. She didn't even show her face at the moment. She only explained a few words on the phone that she did well in the exam, and said that she was with a friend. There is no going back to celebrate.

Grandma is angry, Xu An is sure of this.

It was late at night, Xu An was also in a daze, the TV was still on, she saw Xia Fengshu fell asleep, so she turned off the TV, and when she returned to the bed, she was pulled into the bed by a soft hand.

Xia Fengshu rested on her chest, "I'm much better, really."

Xu An caressed her back, "You have always been strong."

"Do you like me being strong?"

"I like it." Xu An hugged her tightly, feeling Xia Fengshu's slippery body moving in her palm through the clothes.

"Xu An, are you really a fireworks factory?"

"Yes, fireworks will continue to be produced for you."

"But fireworks are not practical, they are not worn on clothes, they are not eaten as food, no matter how beautiful they bloom."

"Do you not like it?"

"I like."

Xu An lightly kissed Xia Fengshu's forehead, "I will work hard, I will exchange fireworks for meat and brand-name clothes, trust me."

Xia Fengshu laughed, tears fell unconsciously, she sniffed, "I only like to cry in front of you, because I think you will like me more when I cry."

"Yes, more."

A kiss is like a fallen leaf hitting a glass window, a knock that is completed with life, it wants people to hear her helplessness, falling lightly to the ground in the boundless world of chaos.Xia Fengshu pounced on Xu An's body, as if pounced on the earth, longing to be conquered and redeemed.

When Xu An touched Xia Fengshu's cock, half of her arm went numb. Before she could recover, Xia Fengshu turned over and pressed her underneath, and took off her clothes. Thus, a contest began. After stripping off each other's clothes, both of them were exhausted, their bodies pressed together, Xia Fengshu asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do?"

Xu An thought for a while and said, "Take off your pants."

The two hugged and laughed, and then fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Xia Fengshu wanted to go back to the rented room to clean up. Although the cost of staying in a hotel was higher, she really didn't want to go back to that place of right and wrong again, so she just had to find a place to move out.Xu An never left, fearing that she would not be there if something happened.

Xia Fengshu felt something was wrong as soon as he returned to the room, "Someone has been here."

"how?"

"I left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't lock the door of my room." Xia Fengshu didn't have anything valuable, but he had a very important thing - a graduation certificate.Her intuition told her that this was what the people who entered the house were looking for.

Sure enough, the lock of the drawer was picked, and the graduation certificate inside disappeared.

Xu An was very angry, "This is too fucking bullying."

Xia Fengshu smiled instead, very happy, her chance to fight back has come.

She called the police, and the police came. Looking at the scene, they knew that it was not a thief. The anti-theft door was not damaged at all, and the old lady's house was not touched. Only the college student who had just graduated had his diploma stolen.

The police who dispatched the police immediately called back to the office and asked Li Yimin to come. Li Yimin was the policeman who dealt with the old lady's dispute yesterday.

It was not difficult to guess who the thief was. The landlord was called in soon after. She admitted that she had obtained her graduation certificate, saying that it was because she was afraid that Xia Fengshu would run away.

Xia Fengshu didn't bother with her, and said to the police: "Everyone has stolen money, what do you do with it?"

Li Yimin said to the landlord: "You will really add to the chaos, this is burglary."

"What kind of theft is it? Isn't it just a broken diploma? You didn't steal money or anything."

Xia Fengshu felt disgusted, thinking to himself how could he be bullied by such a stupid woman and burst into tears.

The police took them back to the police station. Xia Fengshu demanded to file a case. Li Yimin said, "No need, it's a waste of police resources. You'll have to return the certificate. I'll ask her to apologize to you."

"No." Xia Fengshu's answer was concise and clear.

The landlord was so frightened and realized that something was wrong, so he quickly handed over his graduation certificate and called his relatives to show up. Xia Fengshu didn't take it seriously and insisted on filing a case.

The police intervened, and finally, the landlord said, "Okay, I'll withdraw the case too, let's make it even. You are really vicious!"

Xia Fengshu still had two words, "No."

The landlord and her relatives were furious, saying that Xia Fengshu was unkind, unreasonable, and not human.

Li Yimin said: "Xia Fengshu, you have to forgive others, let's forgive others, the matter is handled satisfactorily."

Xia Fengshu said: "Consummation? Does the police want consummation? It should be fair."

"Isn't that fair?"

"It's not fair. She slandered me and I didn't slander her. I wouldn't make any exchange. That would only prove that I was at fault first."

"It's different for those who study law, but there are too many trivial things in life, and it's impossible to figure it out so clearly. I also know that you have been wronged..."

"You didn't say that yesterday."

"It was done according to procedure yesterday."

"Why didn't you follow the procedure today?" Xia Fengshu was aggressive. She thought Li Yimin was protecting the landlord.

Li Yimin was a little impatient. In his opinion, Xia Fengshu was too rude, "You have to know that the matter of the old lady is troublesome. If she doesn't wake up and it just passes by, it will be difficult for you to explain clearly. Even if I think you No mistake, but no evidence to prove it!"

"According to the principle of the presumption of innocence, when the conviction is doubtful, the principle is to favor the defendant. Can she sue me with her mouth alone?"

"Then how long are you going to be entangled in this matter? Are you not working?"

"Work? I even missed the civil service exam. Who will make up for this loss?"

"You won't let her squat in the detention center for ten days and a half months, you can't get rid of it, can you?" Li Yimin raised his voice, and the landlord was terrified.

Xia Fengshu smiled slightly, and Li Yimin said, "Think about it again, and relax your mind."

He took the landlord Nagan and others to the next door, apparently to mediate.

Xu An, who had been silent all this time, came over and said, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Fengshu said: "What do you think I should do?"

Xu An thought for a while, "I am in favor of closing the case. I am not a policeman. I have never doubted you in this matter. It happened and the loss is irreparable, but if you continue to entangle, the shadow of this matter will continue to affect your life. Life."

Xia Fengshu stared blankly at Xu An, and said for a while, "I'll listen to you."

When Li Yimin came in again, the landlord was like a wilting old hen, sorry one bite at a time, refunded all Xia Fengshu's rent deposit, Xia Fengshu confiscated it, and she said she would continue to live.

What is self-confidence based on?Money, power, ability, if you choose one, the poor will choose ability. When Xia Fengshu chooses his own ability, he will put hardship first, and when he looks in the mirror, he will also choose beauty.What kind of future should a beautiful girl who can endure hardships have?

Today, when I received an email online, I found out that she missed an interview opportunity for a copy editor of a magazine. When she submitted her resume, she didn't have a phone number. The other party replied to the email, but she missed it because she didn't go online in time.Coupled with missing the civil service exam, Xia Fengshu's depression can be imagined.Wanting to complain to Xu An, Xu An has long said that she should have a mobile phone. As she said, there are some basic configurations that cannot be stingy in order to survive in this society.What's more, that person's life is not easy these days. Grandma was annoyed by the sleepover on the day of the civil service exam. Xia Fengshu understood that grandma's position in Xu An's heart was the same as that of his mother in his own heart, with both respect and awe.In the past two days, Xu An's life must have been difficult. Thinking of this, Xia Fengshu felt like an ant had crawled into his heart, which was painful and itchy.Xu An's foolishness when he was angry immediately appeared in front of his eyes. Her upper lip must have been upturned continuously, with a look of suffering that could not be described, and she might pop out a few words that went beyond imagination to coax people. Others didn't laugh at her. She can't laugh either. What kind of person is her grandma?Don't blame her too much.If their relationship wasn't so ambiguous, Xu An wouldn't be so difficult to explain.He had known for a long time that this relationship would have sequelae, but after so long, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it. Presumably all Xu An could do was to never mention himself.

As soon as she got to work, the manager informed her that her photo had been adopted, and next week it would be made into a huge poster as the company's new image.

Xia Fengshu didn't smile at all, so the manager grinned for a long time before realizing that his smile was too wishful thinking.

Xia Fengshu felt that there was nothing to be happy about. Later, she signed a portrait rights contract with the company, to the effect that the portrait would be delivered to the company for use, and she would get 3000 yuan.Because the bonus amount exceeded expectations, Xia Fengshu smiled thinly after signing the contract.

Later, she received a call from Li Yimin asking her to come to the hospital, and the old lady woke up.

Xia Fengshu hesitated for a moment. She was a little worried that she would get into trouble again. She had experienced the landlord's methods, and Li Yimin's tone was not an order, but a discussion.Theoretically speaking, the old lady's fainting was over, and there was no need for her to do anything for the old man.

She didn't go until after work, and it was already five o'clock when she arrived at the hospital. At the door of the ward, she saw Li Yimin.Standing there as if waiting for someone, seeing her, Li Yimin first smiled, then his face became serious again. "You are late, the old man is gone."

Xia Fengshu's heart skipped a beat. She never expected this to be the result. Looking into the ward, the bed was empty.Li Yimin said: "It was pushed to the morgue."

"So fast?"

"People are fragile, if you say no, you will be gone." Li Yimin signaled her to go together. There was nothing unusual in the corridor. Doctors and nurses came and went, people talked and laughed, and the disappearance of that life did not bring the slightest sadness.Indeed, this is a place frequented by death, people are used to it, and they are not related to the elderly, and occasionally a sad-faced person walks by, but they are calculating the medical expenses and complaining while walking.

The setting sun brought twilight, and walking out of the inpatient department, there was a warm orange everywhere.Xia Fengshu stopped suddenly. Under a palm tree, she felt her legs were sore, her body was sore, and her eyes were also sore.

Li Yimin said: "The old lady woke up at noon, and the nurse immediately informed me that they didn't know that the case was closed. When I came, the old man had no relatives around her. The old man didn't know me, so I asked her what happened. Fainted? The old man couldn’t speak clearly, and he just repeated those few words back and forth, saying that there was a blue and white bowl with 150 yuan on it and it belonged to you.”

Xia Fengshu remembered that bowl, and the sides of the bowl were a bit broken, so she never used it to serve noodles for the old lady. She also remembered the 150 yuan, but she didn't expect the old lady to remember it too. Now think about why she kept the 150 yuan Where is the money?Is it dignity?Is it a test?

Li Yimin paused, and continued: "13 years ago, the old man's son died in a car accident while driving a taxi. When the son was alive, his daughter-in-law ignored her. One can imagine the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when the son left. In [-], she had a grandson who came to visit her occasionally. The old lady always gave him money, but the grandson didn’t learn well and gambled. , the old man passed a period of rest, and got Alzheimer's again, and he has never left home since then."

"How do you know so much?"

"I'm a policeman! On the day the case was filed, I went upstairs and downstairs to investigate. The aunt on the first floor said that this old lady is very stubborn and never asks for help. She always gives an extra ten yuan to buy vegetables for her. No, no, she simply said ten yuan less. From this point of view, it is not difficult to deduce that you did not force the five yuan, so there is no dispute."

"So, you already knew that I was wronged? Why did you pretend to ask me to negotiate terms with the landlord? Because I'm a foreigner?"

Li Yimin shook his head, "It's because your character is too stubborn that I didn't say it so early. There is no better result than peace."

"There is no distinction between right and wrong. Perhaps a foreigner like me should not fight for justice at all."

"Xia Fengshu, don't waste the resources of the national police force for these trivial matters. You should not waste your time and energy for poor people."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Li Yimin thought for a while, "Let's draw a full stop. Although when I came here, I didn't expect that I, a stranger, would be the only one in front of the old man's bed, but I also think it is very meaningful to be able to send her away."

Xia Fengshu's heart trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.She wiped it off hastily, and said with a wry smile: "I promised her to go to the market with her, but I couldn't think of such a small thing, but I didn't do it."

Li Yimin was moved by the tears just now, and his tone was unconsciously gentle, "People are very strange, and sometimes they don't know what they missed."

Xia Fengshu found 150 yuan in the cupboard in the kitchen. The ticket was brand new, wrapped in the piece of paper she had written to the old lady's phone number, and pressed there neatly and impartially. In her heart, she called Xu An, talked a lot, shed a lot of tears, and finally couldn't cry, "I don't even know her last name, and I don't know how to call her, Xu An, I think Blame yourself, and don't know where to blame, can you scold me."

Xu An said: "Calling you? You are a cheapskate, miserly, ugly..."

"I want to listen to the reality, don't perfuse me."

"Then...you are too clean and difficult to get along with. You have a knife mouth and a knife heart. You are an unprecedented carnivore I have ever seen. You are arrogant because of your beauty. In fact, you have flat breasts and a small butt..."

"Wait a minute, am I really like this? You take this opportunity to vent your personal anger, is this what I am in your heart?" Xia Fengshu wiped away tears.

"Didn't you ask me to scold you? Now you're still looking for something later."

"You think I have flat chest and small butt?" These words stimulated Xia Fengshu the most.

"I don't dislike you, but you do have flat chest and small butt." Xu An deliberately changed the subject, she thought it was a good way to stop sadness.

"You have the nerve to say that? Are you older than me?" Xia Fengshu's fighting spirit was ignited.

"I'm better than you."

"Nonsense! Obviously wearing the same cup size."

"I feel better than you."

"Do you dare to say it again? Then you will never touch me."

Xu An covered his mouth, afraid that Xia Fengshu would hear her laughing. On the other end of the phone, Xia Fengshu was still citing scriptures for comparison. Fortunately, before the phone died, Xia Fengshu fell asleep, extremely tired.Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed back to her room to sleep. Since the civil service exam, she has started to behave with her tail between her legs, flattering her grandma and aunt everywhere, making up for the fault of staying overnight without telling who the other party was.Grandma hurried back to her hometown, and her aunt stayed here for the Spring Festival, but grandma disagreed. Xu An wanted to go back with grandma, but he was thinking about Xia Fengshu again, so he was in a dilemma.The surefire solution is to keep grandma here for the New Year. She and her aunt stand on the same front, fighting with grandma every day, but grandma just won't let go.

Grandma fell asleep, Xu An put the mobile phone by the pillow, and then hugged grandma, she was thinking, can Xia Fengshu coexist with grandma in her life like this mobile phone?She tried to think about the answer, but she still flinched. Everyone has the potential to muddle through. She doesn't want to choose, at least it's not time to choose.
