Jin Jiaxuan 2: Poem of Silence

In a blink of an eye, in late September, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here. This year, August [-]th is a Monday, which coincides with Saturday and Sunday, making up three days of statutory holidays.

When he got off work on Friday evening, Shang Yang finished the work at hand, flipped through the review app on his mobile phone, wanted to find a restaurant, went out for dinner at night, and looked at a few, and suffered from difficulty in choosing.

He sent a WeChat message to ask his family: choose one of hot pot, Japanese food, vegetarian food, and tea restaurant.

The man at home didn't think about it at all, and replied instinctively: "Anything is fine, don't choose."

But quickly added another sentence: I'll do it, I'll go shopping for whatever you want to eat.

Shang Yang knew that this guy just didn't want to go out and spend money, so he deliberately said: No, I want to eat French food, 13 courses.

There's a reason for this 13-course French meal.

The monitors of the two of them in college are now teaching at their alma mater, the Public University.The relationship between the squad leader and the two of them is very good. A few days ago, I heard that Jin Xu had come to Beijing again, so I treated him generously to a French restaurant. The taste is another matter. It’s just the tedious ordering process of French food. It made Jin Xu very uncomfortable, and it was even more worthless when he heard the price at the checkout.

He was embarrassed to say it in front of the squad leader, but when he got home, he complained to Shang Yang that the French surrendered so quickly, why are they so long-winded when they have a meal?

Shang Yang also said that he was going to eat French food, and Jin Xu replied with a "vomit blood" emoji.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the director's office.

"The door is unlocked." Shang Yang responded, putting the phone aside first.

A young man opened the door. It was the intern assistant whom Shang Yang had chosen to go to the Northwest. He was a fresh graduate from the Public Security University, and his name was Gao Zhuoyou.

Gao Zhuozhuo didn't come in, so he stood by the door and asked, "Director Shang, is there any work arrangement for me during the three days of vacation?"

Shang Yang said: "No, just rest normally. What's the matter, work in a hurry?"

Most of this is a joke.

Director Shang is quite satisfied with this intern. In the past ten days since he came back from the Northwest, this senior male student has behaved very well, obedient to the arrangement, diligent and studious, and not arrogant. Personality can be said to be very stable.

This month, there is no business trip plan for the grassroots to conduct research. It will probably be after the National Day that Shang Yang will take his assistant to the south.

Therefore, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he is busy with everything, and he will not find interns to work overtime temporarily.

"No," Gao Zhuoyue first answered Director Shang's joke with a smile, and then explained seriously, "I didn't plan to go back to my hometown this Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have something to do with me in these three days, I can go to work at any time. Just now I came from home I called and said that my father had gout, and I thought that if nothing happened, I would go home and check the situation."

Shang Yang remembered that his home was in a certain city in the south of North China, and it should be very convenient to go back and forth by high-speed rail.

"Is the gout serious?" Shang Yang asked a few words about Father Gao's health with concern, and then said, "Don't worry, go back and call me if you need help."

After Gao Zhuozhuo left and the office door was closed, Director Shang put aside his official attitude of being a gentle and easy-going intern, picked up his mobile phone, unconsciously changed into a mischievous expression, and continued to make dinner appointments with the person at home.

In the past few minutes, the other party sent a few more messages.

Jin Xu: I don't want to go, why don't you ask the monitor to go with me again?My dog ​​and I are waiting for you at home.

After he finished posting, he probably saw that Shang Yang didn't reply to him anymore, thinking that his expression was inappropriate, which made Shang Yang unhappy.

He asked: Are you angry?No other meaning, even if it is expensive, it is not to my taste.

Before he got a reply, he said again: Then you can discuss it when you come back from get off work, okay?

The last one was 3 minutes ago.

Shang Yang was about to tell him that the interns just came, and before he could type anything, his phone vibrated, and Jin Xu sent a photo.

Jin Xu: Can I wear this to a French restaurant?Last time I dressed too casually.

Shang Yang: "..."

Talking about whether to go or not, in the end, all the clothes to be worn were set up.

In the photo is a dress on the bed, a light shirt and black pants.

The pants must be police pants, this man has no other pants except all kinds of police pants.The shirt was just bought for him by Shangyang online shopping a few days ago. It was new. It was hung up after washing and ironing, and it has not been worn out yet.

Together with the shirt, Shang Yang also bought him pants online, but the size was not suitable, so he returned it.The proportion of this person's waist and legs is a bit "problematic". If the waist is suitable, the pants will be short, and if the length of the pants is suitable, the waist will be much fatter.He himself said that he has never bought suitable trousers, only the custom-made police trousers fit best.

He goes out several times a day, walking the dog in the morning, shopping for vegetables during the day, going out for a walk with Shang Yang after dinner, and then walking the dog. He wears a dark blue or all black short-sleeved shirt, and a black or blue one in the morning and evening. A thin coat, and a pair of police trousers in the closet. Anyway, the police trousers are similar in length, and they are dressed like a retired old man, so they just go out in casual clothes because of their good looks and good figure.

Shang Yang didn't really want to go to the French restaurant at first, he just wanted to tease this frugal housekeeper, now that his clothes are all ready, he replied: "Ok, it's pretty nice."

Jin Xu is still making the last struggle: find a place with high cost performance, don't go to the one that the squad leader invited, the squad leader's prodigal son.

Shang Yang laughed out loud in the office, and said: The squad leader treats you so generously, and you talk about him behind your back, is that okay?

Jin Xu said: "The squad leader doesn't know the price at all. He must not have paid the bill himself. When I finally paid the bill, I think he almost cried."

The squad leader is also quite a stingy guy, probably his family took him there, fearing that he would care about money and lied about the billing amount, so he didn't know the real price of the shop very well.

When it was time to get off work, Shang Yang packed his things and went back for a three-day vacation, and then met Gao Zhuoyou again when he went downstairs.

The intern walked ahead to make a phone call, and didn't notice that Director Shang was behind.

"She is also a big girl, not a child. If you have something to tell her well..." Gao Zhuoyue seemed to be answering someone on the other end of the phone, and said, "I get off the high-speed train at about nine o'clock at night, it depends on the situation." , It’s too late today, tomorrow, I’ll find a time to chat with her too...It’s okay, it’s okay, why are you being polite to me...Okay, hang up, see you back."

He hung up the phone, turned the stairs, saw Shang Yang, hurriedly stopped and asked Shang Yang to go first, he walked down a step and followed behind, and asked, "Director, are you going out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Shang Yang thinks this intern is very interesting, not this time, he usually finds out that Gao Zhuoyue will please his superiors but does not do it obviously, is not annoying, and is more measured. He only talks about work-related things when he goes to work , When I meet my superiors after work, it is natural to chat with them.Gu Fei, who was far away in the northwest, probably looked like this when he was young.

"I'm not going out, I'm too lazy to run, and I have to go out again after the National Day." Shang Yang said, "Speaking of which, I'm going to your province for the National Day, to attend a college classmate's wedding."

The OUHK students who are going to get married are also in the southern part of North China, which is next door to the prefecture-level city where Gao Zhuoyue’s family is located. In the summer, they informed the students that there will be a wedding on the National Day. The place is not far from Beijing, and the high-speed train can return on the same day. Shang Yang has a good relationship with this classmate, and he promised early in the morning that he would go.

Gao Zhuoyue said: "It's very close to our city. When the director finishes attending the classmate's wedding, if you want to take a stroll, I can recommend some fun places."

"Okay, it will depend on the situation." Shang Yang said.

At the gate of the unit compound, the two parted. Gao Zhuoyue wanted to take the subway to the train station and take the high-speed train home. Shang Yang lived behind the unit, less than 1000 meters away, and walked to and from get off work.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, spend two days with your parents." Shang Yang said.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Gao Zhuoyue waved to Shang Yang, and happily strode away with his bag on his back.Young people studying and working abroad are often the happiest thing when they go home and reunite with their parents.

Shang Yang walked home, and when he was about to reach the gate of the community, he saw a tall man in black from a distance, with his back to this side, holding the fruit he just bought in one hand, and a dog bag in the other. The toilet bag, standing at the door, was chatting with an aunt who was leading a puppy.

Looking at the proportions of this figure, isn't it the man in my family who can't buy pants?

But looking at that aunt, Shang Yang doesn't quite recognize her, but Shang Yang recognizes the puppy, who is also a resident of this community, and usually plays with his dog when he meets her.Auntie has a mysterious expression, and her voice is not loud, so she can't make out what she is talking about.

Shang Yang looked to the side, he clearly didn't see his dog, maybe it ran away without a leash?Why is this guy Jin Xu only interested in chatting?

He walked a few steps quickly and called the dog: "Bai?"

His puppy's name is Elizabeth, he is male, and has been neutered.When I first brought the puppy back a few years ago, it was snow white and its feet were yellow, so it was named after an alien duck that was in the limelight at the time in an outdated cartoon.

But this dog's brain is not very good, and it often fails to respond to the full name. Over time, it is simplified to only the last word.

"Baibai!" Shang Yang yelled again, but he still didn't see the dog, and walked up to the two of them.

Jin Xu turned his head, only then did Shang Yang see that his little Maltese was stuffed inside Jin Xu's casual jacket, the zipper was pulled up to half of his chest, and a puppy's head was exposed on his chest.

When the dog heard Shang Yang call its name, it was so excited that it pulled outside. Shang Yang lifted it out and hugged it.

The aunt recognized Shang Yang, ended the mysterious conversation with Jin Xu, greeted Shang Yang enthusiastically, and hurriedly dragged Xiao Bomei away.

"It doesn't want to walk, so it has to be hugged." Jin Xu explained that he occupied both hands and couldn't hug him, so he stuffed the puppy into his clothes.

"Hold it when you want to hug it? You are too used to it." Shang Yang said, ruthlessly put the dog on the ground and led him away, and said to Jin Xu, "You have only been here for two weeks, and it has gained weight for at least two weeks." Three catties, the doctor told him to exercise more, otherwise he would get heart disease, diabetes and fatty liver..."

The dog looked at Shang Yang carefully. He might not know what he was talking about, but he knew it must be saying something bad about him.

"Oh." Jin Xu said to the dog, "Your dad is physically humiliating you."

"..." Shang Yang wished he could humiliate him on the spot, but he looked hard. This person's appearance really couldn't be humiliated, unless he was ignorant of his conscience, and finally endured it resentfully, and asked him again, "What are you talking about with that aunt?" ?”

Jin Xu said: "She asked me to tell me that her upstairs neighbor was vicious and lived in seclusion. It seemed possible that she was a fugitive."

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu's personality is too prominent. Anyone who sees him will immediately suspect that he is a policeman, or think that he is a soldier.

And Shang Yang has lived in this community for quite a long time, of course he would not take the initiative to introduce his occupation to his neighbors, but no neighbor has ever asked him, you are not a policeman, are you?

"That auntie...has a sense of the rule of law." Shang Yang recalled, "Last year she went to the community security and said that there were illegal activities in the building of their house. They didn't take a nap in the middle of the day, and they gathered people to prostitute, which woke her up. , As a result, the security guard called the police, and the film police knocked on the doors upstairs and downstairs to check the situation. There was a family of high school students who were at home during the summer vacation, watching porn, and the sound was too loud."

Jin Xu had worked as a film police officer, so he was no stranger to these oolongs, but he still laughed when he heard it.

"Won't the film police knock on our door one day?" The two entered the corridor together, waiting for the elevator, Jin Xu said softly, "Sometimes, your voice is not quiet."

Shang Yang: "..."

Jin Xu took a big vacation and came to live in his house in Beijing, less than two weeks away.

This pair of men, morning and night, rain or shine, almost never falls. They are more active than eating and sleeping, and more punctual than clocking in at work.

At the beginning, I talked about etiquette, justice and shame, and closed the door, but there was also a noise in the bedroom, which made the puppy anxious, scratching the door and barking. After a few days, people became shameless, and the dog got used to it It is also very tired after being anxious several times a day. After that, let alone closing the door, it can no longer see. Sometimes two men are in the living room and in the kitchen, kissing with sparks and lightning. If the puppy is not sleepy, he wants to Just watch it for a while, and just fall asleep if you don’t want to watch it. If you eat too much meat, you will get tired, and if you watch too much porn, you will be bored.

After going upstairs and entering the house, both of them went to change clothes and prepared to go out for dinner.

Jin Xu changed into the suit he had made himself, while Shang Yang wanted to change into the police shirt.

At the beginning, the two of them changed their clothes separately, while chatting about where to eat later, they first ruled out French food...

We stopped talking halfway through.

The puppy gnawing on the toy outside strained its ears to listen... Here comes this familiar and annoying sound.
