After playing wildly in K area for five days, it's time to say goodbye.

Reluctantly, Fu Yue sent Xu Zheng to the airport, and counted on his fingers: "I will be able to return to City H in about a week."

The corner of Xu Zheng's mouth twitched: "I'll wait for you to come back."

"The Chinese New Year is one month away." Fu Yue said again, "When the time comes, I want to take you to meet my parents."

Xu Zheng said, "Okay."

Fu Yue added: "Use a very formal and formal identity."

Xu Zheng said, "Okay."

"It's going to be another week apart, so don't you have anything else to say to me besides ok?"

Xu Zheng pinched his face with a smile, and said, "I don't know what to say, I just want to hear what you say, and I feel good to hear what you have to say."

The airport sounded an announcement to remind passengers of flight xxx to go to the boarding gate. Fu Yue said, "Brother, go board the plane."

Xu Zheng said yes, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and called him: "Yuba."

Fu Yue stood still: "What's wrong?"

Words came up, lingering on the edge of his mouth several times before he could say it.

Xu Zheng just vaguely heard what Fu Yue said—brother, go and register.

Fu Yue hadn't been on such a long business trip for a long time, so when he was about to leave T City, he had an inexplicable sense of illusion.

The construction of the cultural center has basically been completed, and it can be opened after decoration.

Before leaving, Fu Yue went to say goodbye to Ba'er.

Ba'er became much quieter. His parents and several brothers and sisters had been sentenced a few days ago.

Some people's growth is accumulated over the years, while some people's growth is only a momentary thing.

Knowing that Fu Yue and the others were leaving today, Ba'er was not surprised to see him, and said, "Big brother, are you here to say goodbye to me?"

Fu Yue said, "Yes, Ba'er, I'm leaving."

"I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing." Ba'er said sincerely.

Fu Yue couldn't help laughing, and returned the blessing: "I also wish you peace and good health."

"Big brother, goodbye."

Fu Yue said: "See you by fate."

Who said that to say goodbye is to die a little bit. 【1】

People who say goodbye don't necessarily say goodbye.

And some people who thought they would never see each other again may reappear in life in unexpected ways, making the blurred faces clear again.

There are no encounters in life, and the journey is a combination of possibilities in various senses.

And what everyone can control is to keep going.

Yes, go ahead.

Xu Yunheng originally wanted to go back to City H with them, and stop by Xiangzhu Office to meet new colleagues, but due to some family matters, he decided to go home first, pack up his luggage in a few days, and then move here directly .

So only Fu Yue and Nie Haohuai returned to Xiangzhu Office together.

Knowing that they were coming today, Xia Huai came to the office early, as did the rest of the employees.

Jiang Wei stretched his neck, saw only the two of them, and asked: "Senior, didn't you say in the group that a new designer would join? Why didn't you see anyone?"

Fu Yue replied: "He will come over in a few days."

Yang Ju said: "The boss and Xiao Nie have been away on business for so long, it seems that both of them have lost weight, why don't you find a time to have a meal to make up for it hahaha."

Fu Yue thought it was very good, so he said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, or let's just take it at noon today, and I will treat you."

After everyone thanked the boss, they continued to work happily. They didn't like to have a good meal, but to enjoy the dinner after throwing away the relationship between "leader" and "subordinate". The sense of equality is like a few friends get together, eat and drink, let go of their stomachs, chat and talk happily, and there are no taboos on various topics, how good it is to have dinner together!

Fu Yue chose a seafood restaurant, six people sat around a round table, just after ordering, they had to wait for a while, and the few people ate the appetizers while blowing water.

"Is there anything fun in the office when Xiao Nie and I are away?" Fu Yue asked.

Ning Wanyuan didn't need to go on a business trip, so he couldn't think of anything interesting, so he said, "I don't have anything interesting here."

Fu Yue joked, "Aren't you making any progress with Dazhi?"

Ning Wanyuan's ears turned red, and he said, "Boss, don't laugh at me."

"Who is Dazhi? Is that the police brother who sometimes comes to pick you up from get off work?" Yang Ju leaned over, gestured with his hand, and said, "Is there one that tall?"

"Will he come to pick you up from get off work?" Fu Yue felt that even if the two were not together, they were almost inseparable.

Ning Wanyuan was dealing with Fu Yue and Yang Ju at the same time, his mouth was tight, but tenderness overflowed from his eyes.

Fu Yue thought to himself, this person said before that he was an unmarriageist, but how long has passed.Sure enough, before the arrival of love, the predictions in my heart don't count.

Xia Huai is the oldest here, and they are not of the same generation. Seeing the young people chattering, she thought it was fun, but she couldn't get in the conversation, so she patted Nie Haohuai on the back and said, "Why don't you say a word? "

Nie Haohuai said in a daze, "Master, I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know what to say."

Xia Huai smiled: "You are stupid, you can't get in the conversation, can't you start another topic? Start a topic that you can talk about endlessly, so that others will have to follow your words, unconsciously , you become the protagonist here."

Older gingers are more spicy.

But people can't resist being stupid.

Master has already spoken, Nie Haohuai naturally wants to be satisfied, he raised his voice and said, "Master, tell your story."

Xia Huai: "..."

Really, I can't move it, I'm so stupid.

Fu Yue also became interested. In fact, there are many versions of Xia Huai's story in the circle, but it is because there are too many versions. One says xxx, another says yyy, and another says xyx. How did Huai get to where he is today.

All five pairs of eyes looked at her, and Xia Huai had no choice but to admit defeat, saying, "My story is nothing interesting. It's just a story about a very ordinary person who, through continuous efforts, realizes his dream."

Jiang Wei: "Composition model."

Fu Yue: "The role model module."

Yang Ju: "I want to hear the detailed version."

Ning Wanyuan: "I'm ready for the chicken blood."

Seeing that Master finally became the protagonist at the dinner table, Nie Haohuai felt that he was doing the right thing, and added water to Xia Huai's teacup: "Master, drink water to moisten your throat, and speak slowly."

Xia Huai conceded again: "All right, all you youngsters..."

Xia Huai was born in an impoverished family and lived in a township. Both her parents did manual labor and had no education, nor did she expect Xia Huai to have any education.Xia Huai has been helping the family since he could walk. Every time he grows up, the burden on his body becomes heavier. When he was ten years old, he had already contracted all the housework in the family.

He didn't go to elementary school, and when his parents went out to work, he sat by the patio and began to imagine wildly.

He looked at the bowl at home with a missing corner, and suddenly wondered if he could make the house look like a bowl.

Another voice in my heart said: Your idea is so strange, where did someone make the house into the shape of a bowl?

Xia Huai said: "At that time, I was young, but I didn't think my idea was ridiculous. In the end, I took out all the money I saved from grocery shopping, and bought a set of brushes and drawing paper. My design path is That's how it started."

"The design path starting from a bowl?" Fu Yue also felt very mysterious, and asked: "Senior Xia, how did you come up with it?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the environment." Xia Huai recalled, "Although I live in a rural town, many people's houses are built and decorated by themselves. There are all kinds of strange shapes, but mine is very ordinary. , At that time, I thought, if I have the opportunity, I will build a different big house."

After that things were very simple.

Xia Huai had more and more ideas in his mind, and the things he drew became more and more delicate and complex. He gradually began to learn by himself. At first, he couldn't read, so he secretly went outside the primary school every day, standing on tiptoe to listen to other people's lectures. There are too many words, so I borrowed all the few books on architecture from the small town library, but I still don’t understand a lot of words, and I can learn a few percent even by guessing.

For Xia Huai who designed it at that time, it was purely a hobby. Later, he saw a piece of news in a bookstore, which completely changed the trajectory of his life.

He submitted all the design drawings he had drawn, and waited in the small town for half a month, waiting for a well-known figure in the construction industry to come.

At that time, Xia Huai was already in her 20s.

It was the first time he heard the word "amazing talent" from that person.

Xia Huai said: "There is nothing to talk about after that. It is design, design and design, and then we have the current achievements."

After Fu Yue and others listened, they didn't know what to say, so they were silent.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Xia Huai said with a smile, "It's what you want to listen to, and you'll look like this again after listening."

In the end, it was Fu Yue who spoke first: "Senior Xia, although you spoke very calmly, you must have suffered a lot at that time."

"That's right." Xia Huai said frankly, "My parents found out about spending money on brushes and paper, and they were beaten up. I knelt in the kitchen all night before I kept my paper. At that time I find poverty really despicable, not because of suffering, but because it also deprives me of the joy of giving, and my parents couldn't give me anything, and likewise, I couldn't give them anything back then.' Giving roses, Hands have a lingering fragrance' this kind of thing is too far away from me."

Jiang Wei said with emotion: "Compared to Senior Xia, the hardships I experienced when I was young are not bitterness."

"What hardship did you suffer when you were a child?" Yang Ju asked.

Jiang Wei said: "If you fail the exam, you will be scolded at home, if you go out to play and don't pay attention to the time, you will be scolded at home, if you eat picky food, you will be scolded, if you are mischievous, you will be scolded..."

"Stop talking." Yang Ju covered her face and said, "I'm embarrassed to say you're my boyfriend."

Jiang Wei corrected: "It's not a boyfriend, it's a husband!"

"Ah?" Ning Wanyuan and Fu Yue were both startled, "Are you married?"

Yang Ju punched Jiang Wei and said, "Not yet."

Jiang Wei hid to the side and said, "I'm engaged."

"Congratulations." Fu Yue said with a smile, "You can get married anytime you want, and I will keep it for you to have a holiday."

Xia Huai said: "I know the owner of Shunjing Restaurant, I can give you a discount if you go there."

Ning Wanyuan said: "Juju, I can help you see the wedding dress!"

Covering her face, Yang Ju punched Jiang Wei hard again, and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

A meal is full of joy and harmony.
