Uninvited Rebirth
Work related
corner, Xiang Yuan raised his lips to the camera, Qin Wenyan could tell that Xiang Yuan was really happy.Qin Wenyan twirled the pen and laughed too.
Standing beside Qin Wenyan, Shu Ya could tell whether Qin Wenyan's smile was real or not. As the boss of a company, Qin Wenyan always had a smile on his face, gentle, elegant, and close to each other. Ke Shuya knows that to Qin Wenyan, a smile is just an expression, or a mask, without emotion. She has always compared Qin Wenyan to a smiling tiger. No matter how kind the face is, you can move your hands , resolute, ruthless and decisive, but at this moment, Shu Ya knew very clearly that this smile was full of sincerity.
When Xiang Yuan bid farewell to Yunnan with his backpack on his back, he felt quite reluctant. Over the past month or so, he met many friends who traveled in the same way, and everyone laughed together. When he went out, he ran back completely drenched in the sudden rain. , clumsily paddling a boat on the mirror-clear lake, staying overnight with kind locals, and picking local souvenirs in the streets full of ancient styles.Xiang Yuan clearly felt the changes in himself, whether it was state of mind or habits, his path was moving forward step by step according to his plan.
After getting off the plane, boarding the passenger car, and taking a small motorbike in the country, Xiang Yuan returned to his hometown - a small backward village.The village is very small, lying quietly in the arms of a group of hills, someone recognized him and greeted him from a distance, "Xiang Yuan is back?"
Xiang Yuan was traveling around with a bag on his back, grinning happily, and greeted fellow villagers one by one, "Uncle Li, Uncle Chen, Grandma Li, are you all right?"
"Xiang Yuan, are you back?" An uncle in his 50s came over with a smile on his face, obviously very happy to see Xiang Yuan.
"Uncle, I'm back." Xiang Yuan was very respectful to the principal of this rural primary school. When he was a child and his grandmother depended on each other, this principal helped them a lot.
"Come on, don't stand here, let's talk in the house"
"Xiang Yuan, you bought so many books for the school, the whole village is grateful to you, and I'm here to thank you on behalf of them." The principal held Xiang Yuan's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
Xiang Yuan waved his hands again and again, "Uncle, you can't say that. Everyone helped me a lot when I was young. Now that I am capable, I should repay the village. Thank you." A large number of children's books purchased by the school.
"By the way, let's go, I'll take you to see the school." The principal was very happy, "Nowadays, children love to study."
Xiang Yuan followed the principal and walked out. When he passed a simple yard, there was a child sitting at the gate of the yard. He looked like he was three or four years old. He was disheveled, but he was wearing clean clothes. Live in front of the gate.The headmaster frowned, "Doudou, why are you sitting here? Did you sneak back again?"
The child raised his head, only then did Xiang Yuan see tears in the child's eyes, sobbing, "I miss my grandpa."
Xiang Yuan stepped forward to wipe the child's tears, but the child had never seen Xiang Yuan, and shrank back in fear, the principal sighed, pulled him up, and wiped his tears, "Let's go, I'll see you off" Go back to aunt's house."
Sending the child to a yard not far away, the principal explained to Xiang Yuan as he walked, "This child was picked up by Old Li. You also know that Old Li has been alone for decades, so he picked up a child as a treasure to take care of." After a few years, hey, not long ago, Old Li suddenly left, and the child has no relatives. The village discussed that he should be raised at Xiao Wang's house for a few days. If no one is willing to adopt him, he will be sent to an orphanage in the city. "
Xiang Yuan listened silently. He understood the situation in the village. This village is too backward, and it is not easy for every household. It is indeed a heavy burden to raise another child. Thinking of the little figure crying, Xiang Yuan suddenly said, " Uncle, how about I adopt it?"
The principal was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "Xiang Yuan, you have to think about it, you are not married yet, it is hard to find a partner with a child."
Xiang Yuan shook his head, "Uncle, it's okay, the child is pitiful enough, besides, the girls in the city don't care about children so much now, let me take it with me." Xiang Yuan said so but shook his head secretly in his heart: He probably never Will find a girl to marry.
"Then I'll discuss it with the village committee later." The headmaster nodded and sighed again, "You have a good heart, kid!"
Xiang Yuan smiled and said nothing. In his last life, he thought about adopting a child with Qin Wenyan, two big and one small like a normal family, but Qin Wenyan didn't want to.In this life, the life after resignation has deviated from the route of the previous life, and God sent another child to him, just to fulfill the wish of the previous life.
Looking at the enlarged school, Xiang Yuan smiled with relief at the children who were serious about writing. More than ten years ago, when his father died of alcoholism and his mother left without remembrance, the little Xiang Yuan and his grandma depended on each other. With the help of the villagers, Xiang Yuan studied all the way in a difficult environment, and finally walked from this small mountain village to the city.
At night, in the principal's yard, the lights were dim and not very bright. There were more than a dozen people inside. Doudou was also there, and Xiang Yuan was sitting in the front. The principal said he was discussing with everyone, but in fact it was just to inform everyone It was just a sound, after all, everyone knew that it was the best arrangement for Doudou to follow Xiang Yuan.
"Leave the child to Xiang Yuan, we don't worry." "Yes, Xiang Yuan's conditions are good. The child will suffer less suffering if he follows him, and he can go to school in the city in the future." "This child Xiang Yuan has a good heart."
The people in the yard were talking one by one, and Xiang Yuan occasionally responded. Most of the time, their eyes fell on Doudou. The child was huddled in the principal's arms. Maybe he didn't understand what happened, and his face was full of children's. Ignorant, the black eyeballs occasionally looked up and far away but quickly moved away.
"Xiang Yuan, you sleep with me tonight, and Doudou sleeps with you. You have to raise him. Now let's cultivate your relationship." Finally, the principal stood up and made a final summary.
People slowly dispersed, the principal packed up a room and left, leaving him and Doudou staring at each other, Xiang Yuan quickly searched for ways to deal with children in his mind, but he had never been close to children before, So much so that I racked my brains and couldn't think of anything. In the end, I could only say dryly, "That, Doudou..."
"Are you going to be my father?" Xiang Yuan was interrupted by Doudou in the middle of his sentence. Doudou looked up at his little face and looked at Xiang Yuan with big black eyes. Maybe he didn't understand what adoption meant, but he was smart. I guessed what the adults meant.
"Ah", Xiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, Doudou's dirty little face was washed clean during the day, it can be seen that he is a cute-looking child, but he is a little thin, and his little face is yellow with lack of nutrition, " Would you like to?"
Doudou sat on the bed, Xiang Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Doudou nervously, Doudou lowered his head and did not speak, clasped the mat under his body with his little hands, Xiang Yuan did not rush him, only after a while did he hear Doudou whisper :"I have no idea."
Xiang Yuan looked at Doudou's dark head facing him, the hair was very smooth, he reached out to touch it, Doudou raised his head, and Xiang Yuan smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, I will stay in the village for a few days before leaving , you are with me during this time, if you think I can be your father, you can come with me again, okay?"
Doudou nodded and said nothing, Xiang Yuan glanced at the watch on his wrist, "It's late now, go to bed first?"
Probably because he had never slept with a stranger before, the lights had been off for a long time, Doudou was not asleep, Xiang Yuan closed his eyes and did not move, Doudou thought he had fallen asleep, sat up, and seemed to send a message to him. The child is very caring, the wooden bed in the farmhouse creaks when it is moved, Doudou is careful when turning over, Xiang Yuan can hear the child's slightly held breath when the movement is made, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.
As the night deepened, Doudou couldn't resist the drowsiness, and finally fell asleep beside Xiang Yuan. When Xiang Yuan opened his eyes, the moonlight shone through the window next to him. At this moment, some regrets suddenly arose in his heart. Doudou's impulsiveness, but because he has never had experience in raising children, so he adopted Doudou rashly, not knowing whether he could take good care of him.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yuan turned over and looked at Doudou by the moonlight, the moonlight was hazy, not to mention that he was still in the house, and he could only see the outline of the child in the misty darkness, probably due to malnutrition , Doudou’s height only reached his thigh, I don’t know if it’s normal, Xiang Yuan thought a little bit about his plan to raise Doudou, life, going to school, having fun, thinking about it, Xiang Yuan’s expectations swelled to an uncontrollable level The smile in his eyes carries expectations, and there will be another figure in his room in the future, although it is not the tall figure in his heart, but think about it, there will be a simple, ignorant and cute doll in that room. How beautiful life will be with laughter and laughter in every corner of the house?
Wen Yan, I have gradually escaped from the swamp of paranoia at that time, will you be happy for me too?Xiang Yuan closed his phone, playing back the smile of Qin Wenyan in the photo when he looked up in his mind, um, he should be happy.
When Qin Wenyan returned to the villa, the lights in the surrounding villas leaked from the quietly hanging curtains, dimly and unreal, but separated the warmth of a home from the darkness or glitz of the outside world, opened the door, After washing up and lying on the big white bed, Qin Wenyan turned over, sighed into the darkness of the room, rubbed the center of his brows, his thoughts suddenly shifted from business to Xiang Yuan, holding emotions he didn't know well.
Qin Wenyan was a little confused, obviously he should feel relaxed, let go of the burden in his heart, but when he thought of that person when he calmed down, Qin Wenyan sat up all of a sudden, he couldn't help but feel confused when his thoughts were always clear. Is it because the seeds that Xiang Yuan planted in his heart did not die, or did he just feel unwilling to Xiang Yuan's sudden departure?
☆, Dad's first day in office
The countryside always wakes up earlier than the city. The rooster and the dog have already announced the arrival of a new day energetically. Xiang Yuan woke up with sour eyes. He thought things too late last night, and now he will taste the consequences. Yes, maybe it's a change in living conditions and mood. Before, I only rested for three or four hours a night, and I was still able to go to work energetically the next day, but now, Xiang Yuan yawned, and I really wanted to stay in bed...
Turning over, he suddenly met Doudou's clear eyes, Xiang Yuan was startled, "Doudo, are you awake?" He took the watch by the bedside, it was only after [-] o'clock, which was too early.
Doudou nodded, lifted the sheet on her body, stepped over Xiang Yuan's body carefully and got off the bed, put on the T-shirt obediently, Doudou was very thin, but the T-shirt was big and long, hanging loosely on her body Cover half of your ass.Doudou walked out, took two steps, stopped again, turned her head and said to Xiang Yuan who was lying on the bed, "Get up quickly, grandma will make pickle cakes in the morning, they won't taste good when they get cold."
Seeing Xiang Yuan nodded, Doudou turned around and dragged her big slippers and walked out of the door. After a while, Doudou and the principal's voices were heard.Sitting on the bed, Xiang Yuan happily stared at the morning light outside the window and stared blankly for a while, thinking about Doudou's words, he turned over and got up, with the corners of his mouth and a lock of hair on his head curled up, dragging Doudou, who was found by the principal, in a good mood The same slippers when going out to wash up.
In order to learn how to take care of Doudou, at breakfast, Xiang Yuan served Doudou with porridge, cooled it carefully, peeled the eggs, put the pickle cakes into Doudou's bowl, and the principal and his wife on the opposite side looked at Xiang Yuan's cautious appearance , looked at each other and smiled with relief.Doudou buried his head and ate what Xiang Yuan put in his bowl, but at first he raised his head and looked at Xiang Yuan, then he ate obediently, even after he was full, Xiang Yuan peeled the eggs for him without saying anything. Voice.It was the aunt who stopped it, "Xiang Yuan, the child is full, don't peel it, and be careful to stretch the child."
"Ah?" Xiang Yuan stopped quickly, and rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I forgot that children eat less", while lowering his head to ask Doudou, who is raising his head, "Tell me when you are full in the future, I understand Is it?"
Doudou stared at Xiang Yuan and nodded. After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, she leaned on the edge of the table and jumped off the wooden stool, and ran to the corner of the courtyard to play with the big yellowish dog. , what should you pay attention to when taking care of Doudou, can you tell me?"
The aunt wiped her hands and smiled, "Although the children in the countryside are not as expensive as the children in the city, there are some things that you need to pay attention to. Listen..."
Doudou was asked to take a look at the pear orchard at the back of Yuanqu Village. The adults' meaning was very simple. Now that they are adopted, they should cultivate their relationship well, so that the children in the province are not used to it when they are brought to the city.The sun climbed into the air with full enthusiasm, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the path gradually turned from faint twilight to thick black. Xiang Yuan wore a straw hat to block the glare of the sun above his head, and held Doudou, who was also wearing a straw hat, with one hand. , the straw hat is too big for Doudou, and it always slides down to cover the eyes, Xiang Yuan squats down and wraps the rope of the straw hat behind Doudou's ears, "Is this okay?"
Doudou straightened her hat, she was much better than before, she nodded, "Yeah", the child didn't speak much, his hand was held in Xiang Yuan's, and he kicked the clumps of green grass on the road with his feet in sandals.
Xiang Yuan looked at the child beside him bowing his head and saying nothing, scratching his head, how can he make Doudou kiss him more?But after a while, the two walked to the pear orchard on the hill. The pear tree was full of branches and leaves, blocking the scorching sun. He lowered his head and plucked the weeds beside him.
"Doudou, do you want to eat pears?" Xiang Yuan looked up at the pear tree, and there were many pears hanging heavily, most of them were still green in color, but a few were already ripe yellow.
Doudou raised her head, her eyes were full of secret but undisguised longing in the sun, her face was a little red, and she nodded slightly with an awkward arc.
"It just so happens that I want to eat it too. I'll go up to pick it up, can you continue down there?" Xiang Yuan took care of the child's mood considerately, smiled at Doudou with his teeth bared, got up and took off the hat on his head, "Hold on Alright, use this later, be careful not to drop your hand."
The liveliness that belongs to children is shown at this time. Doudou stretches out her two small hands. The straw hat on her head slides to the back because she raised her head, and hangs around her neck only by the rope. Her eyes are like a sparkling lake reflecting the sun. Lively and clean.
Xiang Yuan climbed up the tree in twos and twos, with one hand climbing the sideways thick branch, because most of the ripe pears were on the top of the tree, Xiang Yuan stood on tiptoe, and picked the pears with the other hand quite strenuously. Dense spots are sprinkled in the air through the fine gaps of the branches, and some of them fall into the eyes while the branches are swaying, making the eyes sore that they want to shed tears, but the corners of Xiang Yuan's mouth are slightly raised. This kind of life really just wants to sigh One sentence: great!
Lowering her head, Doudou held the hat and looked at him without blinking, grinning at Xiang Yuan, "Doudou, hold it up higher".
Doudou raised her hand obediently, then sank her hand, looked down, and raised her face again with excitement, "Got it."
Xiang Yuan looked at the excited Doudou and laughed, "Hey, take another one."
A straw hat was full of pears, and Xiang Yuan didn’t eat them, but Doudou looked at them expectantly. Xiang Yuan picked up the hat and said, “Doudou, let’s go home and wash the pears to eat.” In the countryside, pears It is common for Doudou to eat without washing and wiping, so Doudou was suspicious of Xiang Yuan's behavior that he had to go home to eat pears. Xiang Yuan glanced at Doudou who was frowning and explained carefully, "Pears are not If you can't wash it clean, you will have diarrhea if you eat it, so you should wash it first when you eat pears."
Doudou is a sensitive and introverted child, which is quite similar to Xiang Yuan when he was a child. This kind of child has a characteristic, especially obedient, so after Xiang Yuan explained a few words, Doudou took it seriously. Nodding his head.
Xiang Yuan touched Doudou's head with his free hand, and was about to take Doudou back home, when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang suddenly. Doudou was startled, and Xiang Yuan took out the cell phone. Wen Yan's phone call, a smile quickly appeared in his eyes, he answered the phone, "Wen Yan"
Xiang Yuan sat down against the root of the tree, put down the straw hat, and pulled Doudou over. The child was obviously new to the mobile phone, with excitement in his black eyes, lying on Xiang Yuan's shoulder and carefully staring at Xiang Yuan's mobile phone.
"Well, go back in a few days, by the way, I'll bring you some pears, grown in the village, without additives!"
Qin Wenyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the half-drawn curtains covered most of the sunlight, leaving only a small touch on Qin Wenyan's shiny black leather shoes, listening to the smiling voice on the phone, Qin Wenyan There was also a smile on Wen Yan's face, and the exhaustion and boredom that existed between his brows slowly dissipated like a mist in the breeze, "Okay, call me when you arrive, and I'll pick you up."
Xiang Yuan blinked his eyes, and was surprised by Qin Wenyan's words, "Are you busy? I can just take a taxi by myself." It's very strange, the previous Xiang Yuan didn't need Qin Wenyan to pick him up, and the previous Qin Wenyan never He never said that he would pick up Xiang Yuan. For a moment, Xiang Yuan guessed that Qin Wenyan was thinking about him, but the next moment he shook his head and laughed at his own thoughts.
There were bees buzzing past under the pear tree, occasionally circling around Xiang Yuan's body. Doudou fanned the wind with his little hand to drive the bees away. Xiang Yuan, who was attracted by the movement on his shoulder, turned his face and saw Doudou With a serious face, pouted and stretched out his hand to chase away the bees, he was startled and hugged Doudou back, "Doudou"
Doudou turned her head to look at Xiang Yuan's frowning, retracted her hands to support Xiang Yuan's shoulders, and said timidly, "There are bees."
Xiang Yuan sighed, with a comforting tone, "I don't blame you, it's just that it's dangerous. If you get pricked by a bee's stinger, it will hurt."
Doudou blinked her black eyes, pursed her lips inwardly, looked aggrieved but well-behaved, Xiang Yuan patted Doudou on the back before continuing to pick up the phone, "Something happened just now."
Qin Wenyan frowned, walked around behind the bonsai, fingered the green leaves, casually, "I heard the voice of a child, are you taking care of the child?"
"Haha...it's my precious son, you'll see it in a few days, he's cute and cute", Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, the sun was shaking in his vision, and the smile in his words spread across the phone like a vine , with the most naked show off and joy.
"Son?" Qin Wenyan stopped fingering the branches and leaves, raised his eyes, the faint smile on his face disappeared, his eyes narrowed, his tone was still calm and gentle, "I don't remember you have a son, how old is it?"
"I adopted it. I'll see you tomorrow. Aren't you busy? Shouldn't you be very busy at this time?" Xiang Yuan didn't realize the change in Qin Wenyan's mind. The heartless words carry the concern that has been used to for seven years.
"Ah," Qin Wenyan replied, and it really wasn't Xiang Yuan's child, with a smile on his lips again, "I'm going to talk about the contract later, I'm not busy right now."
"Well, then you have a break, I'll hang up first, it's too hot outside, I'm going to take Doudou back" Hearing Qin Wen say goodbye, Xiang Yuan hung up the phone, turned his head and caught sight of Doudou staring at the phone Looking around, he simply stuffed the phone into Doudou's hand, "Let's go, let's go home"
Doudou was very nervous holding the mobile phone, holding it carefully with both hands, lowering his head and taking every step with extra care, even more careful than he usually handles eggs, but the black eyes and even the flushed face showed his Excited, Xiang Yuan suddenly felt a little envious. Compared with adults, children are easy to be satisfied, and a small thing is enough for them to be happy all day.
He took the mobile phone and put it on Doudou's hand, and covered Yuan Yuan's much larger hand, covering the mobile phone and Doudou's hand, "Let's go faster, and I will teach you how to play games when we get home."
Doudou tilted her head and looked at the black shell protruding from between her own hand and Xiang Yuan's hand, she nodded joyfully, and her footsteps followed Xiang Yuan's footsteps with cheerful notes, half-stepping and half-hopping.Sweat ran down his cheeks, Xiang Yuan held a pear in a straw hat in his other hand, looking at the village in front of him and the rice fields around him, I couldn't believe he could still hum a little song in this weather, Xiang Yuan shook his head and thought, Maybe it was because of such a familiar environment, maybe it was because Doudou obediently got closer to him, or maybe it was because of Qin Wenyan's phone call, maybe there were all three, but the proportions were different, so he couldn't tell them apart for a while.
"buckle"
Shu Ya knocked on the door and came in, "Wen Yan, people from HL company are here, when are you going down to negotiate a contract with them?"
Turning the mobile phone in his hand, he put it back in his pocket, Qin Wenyan looked up at Shu Ya and smiled, with a gentle tone and indifferent content, "Let them wait for another hour."
Shu Ya nodded to express her understanding, opened the door and was about to go out when she heard Qin Wenyan's voice behind her, "Please make me a cup of coffee."
Qin Wenyan sat in the black leather chair, and his thoughts turned to Xiang Yuan again. Regarding his urge to see Xiang Yuan, Qin Wenyan explained in his heart that he wanted to distinguish his feelings, whether he was reluctant or reconciled.Therefore, with the phone call just now, Qin Wenyan felt that it would be good to adopt a child, at least it would inject fresh air into Xiang Yuan's life.
A cup of steaming milk was placed in front of him, with a faint milky fragrance and a warm breath, Qin Wenyan raised his head, "I seem to say that what I want is coffee."
Shu Ya hugged her chest, her face was calm, "Xiang Yuan told me to take good care of you, milk is good for your health."
Qin Wenyan smiled, stirred the milk, and brought it to his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly understood that Xiang Yuan would not force him anymore, but Qin Wenyan had already been brought to the intersection by Xiang Yuan, hesitating at the intersection, while He has no determination to embark on the road ahead that is blocked from his sight, and at the same time has nostalgia for the figure walking forward beside him. Perhaps this is the habit left to him by Xiang Yuan.
At this moment, the problems that had troubled Qin Wenyan for several days were easily solved, and those unclear and doubtful emotions suddenly became clear. Qin Wenyan leaned against the backrest, crossed one leg, with a leisurely and relaxed expression, and looked at Xiang Yuan on the table. The little prickly prickly pear was brought in, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the prickly pear and land on that figure, Xiang Yuan, to see if he would fall in love with him now.
☆, the father and son who returned with a full load
"Xiangyuan Doudou is back. Hurry up and go into the room to blow some air under the electric fan. There is herbal tea on the table. Isn't it too hot today?" The aunt greeted her from the kitchen on one side, holding up a hand to cover the glare of the sun, He hurriedly looked at the two sweaty figures, one big and one small.
"Doudou, you go inside to cool down first, I'll wash some pears" Xiang Yuan patted Doudou on the head, then took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, "Take it to play in the house" Halfway through the journey, the sun was scorching hot There was a slight tingling pain in the skin, the hands between the two were sweating, not to mention holding a mobile phone, Xiang Yuan simply put the mobile phone in his pocket, and with Doudou's disappointing eyes, he led him to walk quickly, When I got to the house, I was sweating profusely.
Doudou's eyes widened in surprise and joy, and she ran into the main room with her mobile phone in her hands. The aunt came to pick up the straw hat in Xiang Yuan's hand, "You said you two went out early in the morning and took so long to come back. The sun is scorching right now, isn’t it very hot? All right, give me the pear, and you go into the house to cool off.”
"It's okay, auntie, I'll just do some washing. You go into the house first." Xiang Yuan avoided the enthusiastic auntie, carried a straw hat to the well in the corner of the yard, glanced at the green grape vines, and secretly rejoiced that there were grapes Stand, block the sun and cool a lot.
"Give you"
As soon as Xiang Yuan entered the room with the washed pears, Doudou put down the mobile phone she was studying seriously, and trotted over with the teacup next to her, and handed the herbal tea to Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan drank two sips of herbal tea, sighed comfortably, pulled Doudou, and stuffed a pear into his palm, "Eat it", and walked to the principal who was sitting inside and watching a small TV, "Uncle , you eat."
The headmaster turned off the TV, took off his reading glasses and turned his head, took the pear Xiang Yuan handed over, and said with a smile, "Try it quickly, this year the village pruned and fertilized according to the instruction book, it looks bigger than before, It looks better, how do you taste it?"
Fruit knives are not uncommon in wealthy villages, but in such a remote village where even pears are considered good things, who would use fruit knives?Xiang Yuan gnawed on the pear skin with his teeth. Fortunately, he had gnawed a lot since he was a child. Now he was proficient in his movements. While gnawing, he asked the principal, "Uncle, when I went out today, I saw many people with locks on their doors. Are you all out to work?"
The principal sighed, "Young people have all moved to the city, and the people in this village are old people and children. Who makes this place not rich? For the sake of the children, we must earn more money."
Xiang Yuan was silent for a while, although this place cannot be said to be poor, but it is true that there is no way to get rich, the scenery is not good enough to develop tourism, there are mountains and pits nearby, and even the roads cannot be repaired. Dirt road, in such a situation, planting an orchard, no one is willing to collect the fruit no matter how good it is, not to mention the bumps, the money earned from a trip is not even enough for the cost of the journey.
"Xiang Yuan, remember to enter Doudou's household registration when you go back to the city. Doudou was picked up by Lao Li and has never registered. I will bring you the materials prepared by the village committee tonight. Maybe it will be useful. superior."
Xiang Yuan nodded, Doudou was sitting beside him holding a pear and eating happily, the pear juice was full of water, staining his hands, Xiang Yuan wiped it for him with the towel on the back of the chair, "I see, uncle, in a few days I went to the pear orchard to pick some pears and brought them back to the city, and I bought them from the village."
"You kid, why don't you buy it? Anyway, it's for your family to eat." The headmaster frowned, with a displeased expression on his face.
"No, Uncle." Xiang Yuan smiled, "Listen to me, I'll pick more, I have many friends in the city, bring some for them to eat, the village is full of old people and children, and this is the common property of the village. Buying it can leave some extra income for the village, right? You can use it for medical treatment and buying books, and it’s not a lot of money, uncle, so don’t refuse it.” Xiang Yuan said one by one, this is his sincere thought, outsiders don’t Will go to the mountains to buy, but he can buy it out, at least make some contributions.
The headmaster thought for a while, and what Xiang Yuan said seemed to make sense again. He frowned and nodded, but he still felt that he was being unkind to Xiang Yuan, "Ask more people to help you pick the ones that are good."
Doudou sits on both sides and listens to the adults talking. Be good, the pears have been eaten, and she is looking at Xiang Yuan's mobile phone with longing eyes. She is worried that she will disturb the adults talking, so she endures and keeps silent. With a small look in his eyes, he reached for the phone, unlocked it, found the game, hugged Doudou into his arms, and put the phone in front of him, "This one is flying up, this one is down..."
Xiang Yuan doesn't like playing games. The games on the phone are still included in the original factory. It's a simple plane battle. Doudou sits on his lap, looking down at the steps Xiang Yuan said seriously, with soft hair Rubbing Xiang Yuan's chin, itching, Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, let Doudou hold it for himself to play with, Doudou was trembling, and tapped the screen with two little fingers carefully, very lightly, for fear of touching the phone. broken.
Xiang Yuan looked at Doudou's appearance, but didn't make a sound. This is Doudou's little habit, and it will change naturally when the environment changes. You can't force it, but Doudou is too light, and you can't feel it when you sit on his lap. To what extent, ask the principal, "Uncle, how old is Doudou this year?"
"Well, let me think about it, six years old"
six years old?Xiang Yuan then asked, "When is your birthday?"
A soft and waxy voice came from his arms, "December"
Looking down at Xiang Yuan, there was an exploding and falling plane on the screen of the mobile phone, obviously defeated, Doudou held the mobile phone at a loss, looked up at Xiang Yuan pitifully, and clicked a button, " Doudou, click here when the plane lands again."
Doudou nodded and continued to play the game, while Xiang Yuan calculated in his mind that it was December, so that means Doudou is only over [-] years old now, isn't his weight too light?
Qin Wenyan threw the contract on the table in a serious manner, took a sip of the tea in an elegant manner, and looked up at the representative of HL with a gentle expression, "Is this the so-called sincerity of your company?"
The chubby middle-aged man on the opposite side hugged his chest, with a haughty expression on his face, "According to our company's requirements, many companies in mainland China can do the job, but our boss said that we want to find a company with great reputation, so, Mr. Qin, you This time, the company made a lot of money easily." The implication is that this company is not bad for you, and signing a contract with you is a bargain for you.
Qin Wenyan's smile grew wider, a low smile appeared in his throat, and the tea cup made a soft "boom" sound when he put it on the table, "I think your company hasn't understood the market in mainland China clearly, this contract, I can't sign it."
Shu Ya took the contract in front of Qin Wenyan, tidied it up and placed it in front of the middle-aged man, ready to see off the guests, with a respectful expression full of sarcasm, not asking about the situation in the mainland and Qin Wenyan's attitude towards things , taking such a contract rashly and wanting to sign it, should I say it's a dream or a whimsical one?
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect to be treated like this. He stood up, took two breaths, took the briefcase, and slammed the door out with a full face.
Qin Wenyan lowered his smile, turned his gaze indifferently, and tapped his fingers on the desk with dissatisfaction, "Who contacted such a company? I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, but I still have a haughty attitude." , how can such a partner make me feel at ease?"
Shu Ya packed up the documents, "it was Liu Yang who contacted him", Liu Yang, Xiang Yuan took over as his department head after he resigned.
"Liu Yang?" Qin Wenyan read a sentence, and suddenly sighed softly. He was pretty good under Xiang Yuan before, but he still couldn't afford to be a leader. At least if Xiang Yuan was here, he wouldn't let such a company representative in. Thinking of Xiang Yuan, Qin Wenyan sat up straight and told Shu Ya, "Try to arrange the important itinerary for the next few days in these two days. I may have something to do in a few days."
Outside the courtyard wall, the weather was scorching hot. The big earthy yellow dog was lying in the shade under the courtyard wall. Doudou pulled a few stalks of dog's tail grass from the side to tease the dog. The big dog was obviously lazy and didn't want to move, so Doudou threw the dog away. Weiweicao sat next to the big dog, stretching out his hand to stroke the big dog's hair.
After looking at it for a long time, Xiang Yuan squatted beside Doudou, "I'm leaving tomorrow, do you want to follow me?"
Doudou raised her head, looked at Xiang Yuan with her black eyes for a long while, her little face was blushing and said nothing, but put her hand into Xiang Yuan's.Xiang Yuan squeezed the small soft hand in his hand, his heart was so soft that he poked a hole in it, and swore, "Okay, you are my son, I will beat anyone who bullies you in the future, and I will take you to watch cartoons together." , go to the zoo playground, play and eat as much as you want, and a group of aunts and uncles who love you, I want to make my precious son happy and happy every day!"
Doudou blinked and listened to what Xiang Yuan said, anticipation slowly emerged in the dark eyeballs, Xiang Yuan saw it, bent down and picked up Doudou, laughed and ran into the yard. Giggle" laughed, the principal in the main room saw it and nodded with a smile, completely relieved now.
In the evening, when the red sun was setting and the cool breeze was starting to rise, the principal called a few people to help Xiang Yuan pick a large basket of pears and come back, all of them were round and plump, bright yellow in color, Xiang Yuan picked them up and weighed them, good guy, It's heavy enough. It seems that it will be troublesome to take a car tomorrow. I took out 200 yuan from my wallet and handed it to the director of the village committee. The director refused at first, but I couldn't stand Xiang Yuan's reasoning. I'm sorry. Received.
In the evening of this day, the principal’s yard was very lively. The old people in the village knew that Doudou would be leaving tomorrow. Tonight, everyone hugged Doudou and talked for a long time. The children also played with Doudou with unprecedented enthusiasm. The villagers also brought a lot of local products from the farm, saying they were for Xiang Yuan and Doudou.
Xiang Yuan sighed at the chickens, ducks, and eggs in the yard. How would he bring such a huge amount of things?Besides, these things are quite precious in the village, so I was embarrassed to reject the enthusiasm of the villagers, and looked at the principal begging for help, "Uncle, I can't take so many things with me, and there is still a basket of pears, why don't you ask the uncles and aunts to take the things away?" take it back?"
The principal also saw Xiang Yuan's difficulties. The village was embarrassed to accept Xiang Yuan's rescue and money, so how could they refuse their return?
Standing beside Qin Wenyan, Shu Ya could tell whether Qin Wenyan's smile was real or not. As the boss of a company, Qin Wenyan always had a smile on his face, gentle, elegant, and close to each other. Ke Shuya knows that to Qin Wenyan, a smile is just an expression, or a mask, without emotion. She has always compared Qin Wenyan to a smiling tiger. No matter how kind the face is, you can move your hands , resolute, ruthless and decisive, but at this moment, Shu Ya knew very clearly that this smile was full of sincerity.
When Xiang Yuan bid farewell to Yunnan with his backpack on his back, he felt quite reluctant. Over the past month or so, he met many friends who traveled in the same way, and everyone laughed together. When he went out, he ran back completely drenched in the sudden rain. , clumsily paddling a boat on the mirror-clear lake, staying overnight with kind locals, and picking local souvenirs in the streets full of ancient styles.Xiang Yuan clearly felt the changes in himself, whether it was state of mind or habits, his path was moving forward step by step according to his plan.
After getting off the plane, boarding the passenger car, and taking a small motorbike in the country, Xiang Yuan returned to his hometown - a small backward village.The village is very small, lying quietly in the arms of a group of hills, someone recognized him and greeted him from a distance, "Xiang Yuan is back?"
Xiang Yuan was traveling around with a bag on his back, grinning happily, and greeted fellow villagers one by one, "Uncle Li, Uncle Chen, Grandma Li, are you all right?"
"Xiang Yuan, are you back?" An uncle in his 50s came over with a smile on his face, obviously very happy to see Xiang Yuan.
"Uncle, I'm back." Xiang Yuan was very respectful to the principal of this rural primary school. When he was a child and his grandmother depended on each other, this principal helped them a lot.
"Come on, don't stand here, let's talk in the house"
"Xiang Yuan, you bought so many books for the school, the whole village is grateful to you, and I'm here to thank you on behalf of them." The principal held Xiang Yuan's hand, his eyes full of gratitude.
Xiang Yuan waved his hands again and again, "Uncle, you can't say that. Everyone helped me a lot when I was young. Now that I am capable, I should repay the village. Thank you." A large number of children's books purchased by the school.
"By the way, let's go, I'll take you to see the school." The principal was very happy, "Nowadays, children love to study."
Xiang Yuan followed the principal and walked out. When he passed a simple yard, there was a child sitting at the gate of the yard. He looked like he was three or four years old. He was disheveled, but he was wearing clean clothes. Live in front of the gate.The headmaster frowned, "Doudou, why are you sitting here? Did you sneak back again?"
The child raised his head, only then did Xiang Yuan see tears in the child's eyes, sobbing, "I miss my grandpa."
Xiang Yuan stepped forward to wipe the child's tears, but the child had never seen Xiang Yuan, and shrank back in fear, the principal sighed, pulled him up, and wiped his tears, "Let's go, I'll see you off" Go back to aunt's house."
Sending the child to a yard not far away, the principal explained to Xiang Yuan as he walked, "This child was picked up by Old Li. You also know that Old Li has been alone for decades, so he picked up a child as a treasure to take care of." After a few years, hey, not long ago, Old Li suddenly left, and the child has no relatives. The village discussed that he should be raised at Xiao Wang's house for a few days. If no one is willing to adopt him, he will be sent to an orphanage in the city. "
Xiang Yuan listened silently. He understood the situation in the village. This village is too backward, and it is not easy for every household. It is indeed a heavy burden to raise another child. Thinking of the little figure crying, Xiang Yuan suddenly said, " Uncle, how about I adopt it?"
The principal was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "Xiang Yuan, you have to think about it, you are not married yet, it is hard to find a partner with a child."
Xiang Yuan shook his head, "Uncle, it's okay, the child is pitiful enough, besides, the girls in the city don't care about children so much now, let me take it with me." Xiang Yuan said so but shook his head secretly in his heart: He probably never Will find a girl to marry.
"Then I'll discuss it with the village committee later." The headmaster nodded and sighed again, "You have a good heart, kid!"
Xiang Yuan smiled and said nothing. In his last life, he thought about adopting a child with Qin Wenyan, two big and one small like a normal family, but Qin Wenyan didn't want to.In this life, the life after resignation has deviated from the route of the previous life, and God sent another child to him, just to fulfill the wish of the previous life.
Looking at the enlarged school, Xiang Yuan smiled with relief at the children who were serious about writing. More than ten years ago, when his father died of alcoholism and his mother left without remembrance, the little Xiang Yuan and his grandma depended on each other. With the help of the villagers, Xiang Yuan studied all the way in a difficult environment, and finally walked from this small mountain village to the city.
At night, in the principal's yard, the lights were dim and not very bright. There were more than a dozen people inside. Doudou was also there, and Xiang Yuan was sitting in the front. The principal said he was discussing with everyone, but in fact it was just to inform everyone It was just a sound, after all, everyone knew that it was the best arrangement for Doudou to follow Xiang Yuan.
"Leave the child to Xiang Yuan, we don't worry." "Yes, Xiang Yuan's conditions are good. The child will suffer less suffering if he follows him, and he can go to school in the city in the future." "This child Xiang Yuan has a good heart."
The people in the yard were talking one by one, and Xiang Yuan occasionally responded. Most of the time, their eyes fell on Doudou. The child was huddled in the principal's arms. Maybe he didn't understand what happened, and his face was full of children's. Ignorant, the black eyeballs occasionally looked up and far away but quickly moved away.
"Xiang Yuan, you sleep with me tonight, and Doudou sleeps with you. You have to raise him. Now let's cultivate your relationship." Finally, the principal stood up and made a final summary.
People slowly dispersed, the principal packed up a room and left, leaving him and Doudou staring at each other, Xiang Yuan quickly searched for ways to deal with children in his mind, but he had never been close to children before, So much so that I racked my brains and couldn't think of anything. In the end, I could only say dryly, "That, Doudou..."
"Are you going to be my father?" Xiang Yuan was interrupted by Doudou in the middle of his sentence. Doudou looked up at his little face and looked at Xiang Yuan with big black eyes. Maybe he didn't understand what adoption meant, but he was smart. I guessed what the adults meant.
"Ah", Xiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, Doudou's dirty little face was washed clean during the day, it can be seen that he is a cute-looking child, but he is a little thin, and his little face is yellow with lack of nutrition, " Would you like to?"
Doudou sat on the bed, Xiang Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Doudou nervously, Doudou lowered his head and did not speak, clasped the mat under his body with his little hands, Xiang Yuan did not rush him, only after a while did he hear Doudou whisper :"I have no idea."
Xiang Yuan looked at Doudou's dark head facing him, the hair was very smooth, he reached out to touch it, Doudou raised his head, and Xiang Yuan smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, I will stay in the village for a few days before leaving , you are with me during this time, if you think I can be your father, you can come with me again, okay?"
Doudou nodded and said nothing, Xiang Yuan glanced at the watch on his wrist, "It's late now, go to bed first?"
Probably because he had never slept with a stranger before, the lights had been off for a long time, Doudou was not asleep, Xiang Yuan closed his eyes and did not move, Doudou thought he had fallen asleep, sat up, and seemed to send a message to him. The child is very caring, the wooden bed in the farmhouse creaks when it is moved, Doudou is careful when turning over, Xiang Yuan can hear the child's slightly held breath when the movement is made, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.
As the night deepened, Doudou couldn't resist the drowsiness, and finally fell asleep beside Xiang Yuan. When Xiang Yuan opened his eyes, the moonlight shone through the window next to him. At this moment, some regrets suddenly arose in his heart. Doudou's impulsiveness, but because he has never had experience in raising children, so he adopted Doudou rashly, not knowing whether he could take good care of him.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yuan turned over and looked at Doudou by the moonlight, the moonlight was hazy, not to mention that he was still in the house, and he could only see the outline of the child in the misty darkness, probably due to malnutrition , Doudou’s height only reached his thigh, I don’t know if it’s normal, Xiang Yuan thought a little bit about his plan to raise Doudou, life, going to school, having fun, thinking about it, Xiang Yuan’s expectations swelled to an uncontrollable level The smile in his eyes carries expectations, and there will be another figure in his room in the future, although it is not the tall figure in his heart, but think about it, there will be a simple, ignorant and cute doll in that room. How beautiful life will be with laughter and laughter in every corner of the house?
Wen Yan, I have gradually escaped from the swamp of paranoia at that time, will you be happy for me too?Xiang Yuan closed his phone, playing back the smile of Qin Wenyan in the photo when he looked up in his mind, um, he should be happy.
When Qin Wenyan returned to the villa, the lights in the surrounding villas leaked from the quietly hanging curtains, dimly and unreal, but separated the warmth of a home from the darkness or glitz of the outside world, opened the door, After washing up and lying on the big white bed, Qin Wenyan turned over, sighed into the darkness of the room, rubbed the center of his brows, his thoughts suddenly shifted from business to Xiang Yuan, holding emotions he didn't know well.
Qin Wenyan was a little confused, obviously he should feel relaxed, let go of the burden in his heart, but when he thought of that person when he calmed down, Qin Wenyan sat up all of a sudden, he couldn't help but feel confused when his thoughts were always clear. Is it because the seeds that Xiang Yuan planted in his heart did not die, or did he just feel unwilling to Xiang Yuan's sudden departure?
☆, Dad's first day in office
The countryside always wakes up earlier than the city. The rooster and the dog have already announced the arrival of a new day energetically. Xiang Yuan woke up with sour eyes. He thought things too late last night, and now he will taste the consequences. Yes, maybe it's a change in living conditions and mood. Before, I only rested for three or four hours a night, and I was still able to go to work energetically the next day, but now, Xiang Yuan yawned, and I really wanted to stay in bed...
Turning over, he suddenly met Doudou's clear eyes, Xiang Yuan was startled, "Doudo, are you awake?" He took the watch by the bedside, it was only after [-] o'clock, which was too early.
Doudou nodded, lifted the sheet on her body, stepped over Xiang Yuan's body carefully and got off the bed, put on the T-shirt obediently, Doudou was very thin, but the T-shirt was big and long, hanging loosely on her body Cover half of your ass.Doudou walked out, took two steps, stopped again, turned her head and said to Xiang Yuan who was lying on the bed, "Get up quickly, grandma will make pickle cakes in the morning, they won't taste good when they get cold."
Seeing Xiang Yuan nodded, Doudou turned around and dragged her big slippers and walked out of the door. After a while, Doudou and the principal's voices were heard.Sitting on the bed, Xiang Yuan happily stared at the morning light outside the window and stared blankly for a while, thinking about Doudou's words, he turned over and got up, with the corners of his mouth and a lock of hair on his head curled up, dragging Doudou, who was found by the principal, in a good mood The same slippers when going out to wash up.
In order to learn how to take care of Doudou, at breakfast, Xiang Yuan served Doudou with porridge, cooled it carefully, peeled the eggs, put the pickle cakes into Doudou's bowl, and the principal and his wife on the opposite side looked at Xiang Yuan's cautious appearance , looked at each other and smiled with relief.Doudou buried his head and ate what Xiang Yuan put in his bowl, but at first he raised his head and looked at Xiang Yuan, then he ate obediently, even after he was full, Xiang Yuan peeled the eggs for him without saying anything. Voice.It was the aunt who stopped it, "Xiang Yuan, the child is full, don't peel it, and be careful to stretch the child."
"Ah?" Xiang Yuan stopped quickly, and rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I forgot that children eat less", while lowering his head to ask Doudou, who is raising his head, "Tell me when you are full in the future, I understand Is it?"
Doudou stared at Xiang Yuan and nodded. After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, she leaned on the edge of the table and jumped off the wooden stool, and ran to the corner of the courtyard to play with the big yellowish dog. , what should you pay attention to when taking care of Doudou, can you tell me?"
The aunt wiped her hands and smiled, "Although the children in the countryside are not as expensive as the children in the city, there are some things that you need to pay attention to. Listen..."
Doudou was asked to take a look at the pear orchard at the back of Yuanqu Village. The adults' meaning was very simple. Now that they are adopted, they should cultivate their relationship well, so that the children in the province are not used to it when they are brought to the city.The sun climbed into the air with full enthusiasm, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the path gradually turned from faint twilight to thick black. Xiang Yuan wore a straw hat to block the glare of the sun above his head, and held Doudou, who was also wearing a straw hat, with one hand. , the straw hat is too big for Doudou, and it always slides down to cover the eyes, Xiang Yuan squats down and wraps the rope of the straw hat behind Doudou's ears, "Is this okay?"
Doudou straightened her hat, she was much better than before, she nodded, "Yeah", the child didn't speak much, his hand was held in Xiang Yuan's, and he kicked the clumps of green grass on the road with his feet in sandals.
Xiang Yuan looked at the child beside him bowing his head and saying nothing, scratching his head, how can he make Doudou kiss him more?But after a while, the two walked to the pear orchard on the hill. The pear tree was full of branches and leaves, blocking the scorching sun. He lowered his head and plucked the weeds beside him.
"Doudou, do you want to eat pears?" Xiang Yuan looked up at the pear tree, and there were many pears hanging heavily, most of them were still green in color, but a few were already ripe yellow.
Doudou raised her head, her eyes were full of secret but undisguised longing in the sun, her face was a little red, and she nodded slightly with an awkward arc.
"It just so happens that I want to eat it too. I'll go up to pick it up, can you continue down there?" Xiang Yuan took care of the child's mood considerately, smiled at Doudou with his teeth bared, got up and took off the hat on his head, "Hold on Alright, use this later, be careful not to drop your hand."
The liveliness that belongs to children is shown at this time. Doudou stretches out her two small hands. The straw hat on her head slides to the back because she raised her head, and hangs around her neck only by the rope. Her eyes are like a sparkling lake reflecting the sun. Lively and clean.
Xiang Yuan climbed up the tree in twos and twos, with one hand climbing the sideways thick branch, because most of the ripe pears were on the top of the tree, Xiang Yuan stood on tiptoe, and picked the pears with the other hand quite strenuously. Dense spots are sprinkled in the air through the fine gaps of the branches, and some of them fall into the eyes while the branches are swaying, making the eyes sore that they want to shed tears, but the corners of Xiang Yuan's mouth are slightly raised. This kind of life really just wants to sigh One sentence: great!
Lowering her head, Doudou held the hat and looked at him without blinking, grinning at Xiang Yuan, "Doudou, hold it up higher".
Doudou raised her hand obediently, then sank her hand, looked down, and raised her face again with excitement, "Got it."
Xiang Yuan looked at the excited Doudou and laughed, "Hey, take another one."
A straw hat was full of pears, and Xiang Yuan didn’t eat them, but Doudou looked at them expectantly. Xiang Yuan picked up the hat and said, “Doudou, let’s go home and wash the pears to eat.” In the countryside, pears It is common for Doudou to eat without washing and wiping, so Doudou was suspicious of Xiang Yuan's behavior that he had to go home to eat pears. Xiang Yuan glanced at Doudou who was frowning and explained carefully, "Pears are not If you can't wash it clean, you will have diarrhea if you eat it, so you should wash it first when you eat pears."
Doudou is a sensitive and introverted child, which is quite similar to Xiang Yuan when he was a child. This kind of child has a characteristic, especially obedient, so after Xiang Yuan explained a few words, Doudou took it seriously. Nodding his head.
Xiang Yuan touched Doudou's head with his free hand, and was about to take Doudou back home, when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang suddenly. Doudou was startled, and Xiang Yuan took out the cell phone. Wen Yan's phone call, a smile quickly appeared in his eyes, he answered the phone, "Wen Yan"
Xiang Yuan sat down against the root of the tree, put down the straw hat, and pulled Doudou over. The child was obviously new to the mobile phone, with excitement in his black eyes, lying on Xiang Yuan's shoulder and carefully staring at Xiang Yuan's mobile phone.
"Well, go back in a few days, by the way, I'll bring you some pears, grown in the village, without additives!"
Qin Wenyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the half-drawn curtains covered most of the sunlight, leaving only a small touch on Qin Wenyan's shiny black leather shoes, listening to the smiling voice on the phone, Qin Wenyan There was also a smile on Wen Yan's face, and the exhaustion and boredom that existed between his brows slowly dissipated like a mist in the breeze, "Okay, call me when you arrive, and I'll pick you up."
Xiang Yuan blinked his eyes, and was surprised by Qin Wenyan's words, "Are you busy? I can just take a taxi by myself." It's very strange, the previous Xiang Yuan didn't need Qin Wenyan to pick him up, and the previous Qin Wenyan never He never said that he would pick up Xiang Yuan. For a moment, Xiang Yuan guessed that Qin Wenyan was thinking about him, but the next moment he shook his head and laughed at his own thoughts.
There were bees buzzing past under the pear tree, occasionally circling around Xiang Yuan's body. Doudou fanned the wind with his little hand to drive the bees away. Xiang Yuan, who was attracted by the movement on his shoulder, turned his face and saw Doudou With a serious face, pouted and stretched out his hand to chase away the bees, he was startled and hugged Doudou back, "Doudou"
Doudou turned her head to look at Xiang Yuan's frowning, retracted her hands to support Xiang Yuan's shoulders, and said timidly, "There are bees."
Xiang Yuan sighed, with a comforting tone, "I don't blame you, it's just that it's dangerous. If you get pricked by a bee's stinger, it will hurt."
Doudou blinked her black eyes, pursed her lips inwardly, looked aggrieved but well-behaved, Xiang Yuan patted Doudou on the back before continuing to pick up the phone, "Something happened just now."
Qin Wenyan frowned, walked around behind the bonsai, fingered the green leaves, casually, "I heard the voice of a child, are you taking care of the child?"
"Haha...it's my precious son, you'll see it in a few days, he's cute and cute", Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, the sun was shaking in his vision, and the smile in his words spread across the phone like a vine , with the most naked show off and joy.
"Son?" Qin Wenyan stopped fingering the branches and leaves, raised his eyes, the faint smile on his face disappeared, his eyes narrowed, his tone was still calm and gentle, "I don't remember you have a son, how old is it?"
"I adopted it. I'll see you tomorrow. Aren't you busy? Shouldn't you be very busy at this time?" Xiang Yuan didn't realize the change in Qin Wenyan's mind. The heartless words carry the concern that has been used to for seven years.
"Ah," Qin Wenyan replied, and it really wasn't Xiang Yuan's child, with a smile on his lips again, "I'm going to talk about the contract later, I'm not busy right now."
"Well, then you have a break, I'll hang up first, it's too hot outside, I'm going to take Doudou back" Hearing Qin Wen say goodbye, Xiang Yuan hung up the phone, turned his head and caught sight of Doudou staring at the phone Looking around, he simply stuffed the phone into Doudou's hand, "Let's go, let's go home"
Doudou was very nervous holding the mobile phone, holding it carefully with both hands, lowering his head and taking every step with extra care, even more careful than he usually handles eggs, but the black eyes and even the flushed face showed his Excited, Xiang Yuan suddenly felt a little envious. Compared with adults, children are easy to be satisfied, and a small thing is enough for them to be happy all day.
He took the mobile phone and put it on Doudou's hand, and covered Yuan Yuan's much larger hand, covering the mobile phone and Doudou's hand, "Let's go faster, and I will teach you how to play games when we get home."
Doudou tilted her head and looked at the black shell protruding from between her own hand and Xiang Yuan's hand, she nodded joyfully, and her footsteps followed Xiang Yuan's footsteps with cheerful notes, half-stepping and half-hopping.Sweat ran down his cheeks, Xiang Yuan held a pear in a straw hat in his other hand, looking at the village in front of him and the rice fields around him, I couldn't believe he could still hum a little song in this weather, Xiang Yuan shook his head and thought, Maybe it was because of such a familiar environment, maybe it was because Doudou obediently got closer to him, or maybe it was because of Qin Wenyan's phone call, maybe there were all three, but the proportions were different, so he couldn't tell them apart for a while.
"buckle"
Shu Ya knocked on the door and came in, "Wen Yan, people from HL company are here, when are you going down to negotiate a contract with them?"
Turning the mobile phone in his hand, he put it back in his pocket, Qin Wenyan looked up at Shu Ya and smiled, with a gentle tone and indifferent content, "Let them wait for another hour."
Shu Ya nodded to express her understanding, opened the door and was about to go out when she heard Qin Wenyan's voice behind her, "Please make me a cup of coffee."
Qin Wenyan sat in the black leather chair, and his thoughts turned to Xiang Yuan again. Regarding his urge to see Xiang Yuan, Qin Wenyan explained in his heart that he wanted to distinguish his feelings, whether he was reluctant or reconciled.Therefore, with the phone call just now, Qin Wenyan felt that it would be good to adopt a child, at least it would inject fresh air into Xiang Yuan's life.
A cup of steaming milk was placed in front of him, with a faint milky fragrance and a warm breath, Qin Wenyan raised his head, "I seem to say that what I want is coffee."
Shu Ya hugged her chest, her face was calm, "Xiang Yuan told me to take good care of you, milk is good for your health."
Qin Wenyan smiled, stirred the milk, and brought it to his mouth. At this moment, he suddenly understood that Xiang Yuan would not force him anymore, but Qin Wenyan had already been brought to the intersection by Xiang Yuan, hesitating at the intersection, while He has no determination to embark on the road ahead that is blocked from his sight, and at the same time has nostalgia for the figure walking forward beside him. Perhaps this is the habit left to him by Xiang Yuan.
At this moment, the problems that had troubled Qin Wenyan for several days were easily solved, and those unclear and doubtful emotions suddenly became clear. Qin Wenyan leaned against the backrest, crossed one leg, with a leisurely and relaxed expression, and looked at Xiang Yuan on the table. The little prickly prickly pear was brought in, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the prickly pear and land on that figure, Xiang Yuan, to see if he would fall in love with him now.
☆, the father and son who returned with a full load
"Xiangyuan Doudou is back. Hurry up and go into the room to blow some air under the electric fan. There is herbal tea on the table. Isn't it too hot today?" The aunt greeted her from the kitchen on one side, holding up a hand to cover the glare of the sun, He hurriedly looked at the two sweaty figures, one big and one small.
"Doudou, you go inside to cool down first, I'll wash some pears" Xiang Yuan patted Doudou on the head, then took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, "Take it to play in the house" Halfway through the journey, the sun was scorching hot There was a slight tingling pain in the skin, the hands between the two were sweating, not to mention holding a mobile phone, Xiang Yuan simply put the mobile phone in his pocket, and with Doudou's disappointing eyes, he led him to walk quickly, When I got to the house, I was sweating profusely.
Doudou's eyes widened in surprise and joy, and she ran into the main room with her mobile phone in her hands. The aunt came to pick up the straw hat in Xiang Yuan's hand, "You said you two went out early in the morning and took so long to come back. The sun is scorching right now, isn’t it very hot? All right, give me the pear, and you go into the house to cool off.”
"It's okay, auntie, I'll just do some washing. You go into the house first." Xiang Yuan avoided the enthusiastic auntie, carried a straw hat to the well in the corner of the yard, glanced at the green grape vines, and secretly rejoiced that there were grapes Stand, block the sun and cool a lot.
"Give you"
As soon as Xiang Yuan entered the room with the washed pears, Doudou put down the mobile phone she was studying seriously, and trotted over with the teacup next to her, and handed the herbal tea to Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan drank two sips of herbal tea, sighed comfortably, pulled Doudou, and stuffed a pear into his palm, "Eat it", and walked to the principal who was sitting inside and watching a small TV, "Uncle , you eat."
The headmaster turned off the TV, took off his reading glasses and turned his head, took the pear Xiang Yuan handed over, and said with a smile, "Try it quickly, this year the village pruned and fertilized according to the instruction book, it looks bigger than before, It looks better, how do you taste it?"
Fruit knives are not uncommon in wealthy villages, but in such a remote village where even pears are considered good things, who would use fruit knives?Xiang Yuan gnawed on the pear skin with his teeth. Fortunately, he had gnawed a lot since he was a child. Now he was proficient in his movements. While gnawing, he asked the principal, "Uncle, when I went out today, I saw many people with locks on their doors. Are you all out to work?"
The principal sighed, "Young people have all moved to the city, and the people in this village are old people and children. Who makes this place not rich? For the sake of the children, we must earn more money."
Xiang Yuan was silent for a while, although this place cannot be said to be poor, but it is true that there is no way to get rich, the scenery is not good enough to develop tourism, there are mountains and pits nearby, and even the roads cannot be repaired. Dirt road, in such a situation, planting an orchard, no one is willing to collect the fruit no matter how good it is, not to mention the bumps, the money earned from a trip is not even enough for the cost of the journey.
"Xiang Yuan, remember to enter Doudou's household registration when you go back to the city. Doudou was picked up by Lao Li and has never registered. I will bring you the materials prepared by the village committee tonight. Maybe it will be useful. superior."
Xiang Yuan nodded, Doudou was sitting beside him holding a pear and eating happily, the pear juice was full of water, staining his hands, Xiang Yuan wiped it for him with the towel on the back of the chair, "I see, uncle, in a few days I went to the pear orchard to pick some pears and brought them back to the city, and I bought them from the village."
"You kid, why don't you buy it? Anyway, it's for your family to eat." The headmaster frowned, with a displeased expression on his face.
"No, Uncle." Xiang Yuan smiled, "Listen to me, I'll pick more, I have many friends in the city, bring some for them to eat, the village is full of old people and children, and this is the common property of the village. Buying it can leave some extra income for the village, right? You can use it for medical treatment and buying books, and it’s not a lot of money, uncle, so don’t refuse it.” Xiang Yuan said one by one, this is his sincere thought, outsiders don’t Will go to the mountains to buy, but he can buy it out, at least make some contributions.
The headmaster thought for a while, and what Xiang Yuan said seemed to make sense again. He frowned and nodded, but he still felt that he was being unkind to Xiang Yuan, "Ask more people to help you pick the ones that are good."
Doudou sits on both sides and listens to the adults talking. Be good, the pears have been eaten, and she is looking at Xiang Yuan's mobile phone with longing eyes. She is worried that she will disturb the adults talking, so she endures and keeps silent. With a small look in his eyes, he reached for the phone, unlocked it, found the game, hugged Doudou into his arms, and put the phone in front of him, "This one is flying up, this one is down..."
Xiang Yuan doesn't like playing games. The games on the phone are still included in the original factory. It's a simple plane battle. Doudou sits on his lap, looking down at the steps Xiang Yuan said seriously, with soft hair Rubbing Xiang Yuan's chin, itching, Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, let Doudou hold it for himself to play with, Doudou was trembling, and tapped the screen with two little fingers carefully, very lightly, for fear of touching the phone. broken.
Xiang Yuan looked at Doudou's appearance, but didn't make a sound. This is Doudou's little habit, and it will change naturally when the environment changes. You can't force it, but Doudou is too light, and you can't feel it when you sit on his lap. To what extent, ask the principal, "Uncle, how old is Doudou this year?"
"Well, let me think about it, six years old"
six years old?Xiang Yuan then asked, "When is your birthday?"
A soft and waxy voice came from his arms, "December"
Looking down at Xiang Yuan, there was an exploding and falling plane on the screen of the mobile phone, obviously defeated, Doudou held the mobile phone at a loss, looked up at Xiang Yuan pitifully, and clicked a button, " Doudou, click here when the plane lands again."
Doudou nodded and continued to play the game, while Xiang Yuan calculated in his mind that it was December, so that means Doudou is only over [-] years old now, isn't his weight too light?
Qin Wenyan threw the contract on the table in a serious manner, took a sip of the tea in an elegant manner, and looked up at the representative of HL with a gentle expression, "Is this the so-called sincerity of your company?"
The chubby middle-aged man on the opposite side hugged his chest, with a haughty expression on his face, "According to our company's requirements, many companies in mainland China can do the job, but our boss said that we want to find a company with great reputation, so, Mr. Qin, you This time, the company made a lot of money easily." The implication is that this company is not bad for you, and signing a contract with you is a bargain for you.
Qin Wenyan's smile grew wider, a low smile appeared in his throat, and the tea cup made a soft "boom" sound when he put it on the table, "I think your company hasn't understood the market in mainland China clearly, this contract, I can't sign it."
Shu Ya took the contract in front of Qin Wenyan, tidied it up and placed it in front of the middle-aged man, ready to see off the guests, with a respectful expression full of sarcasm, not asking about the situation in the mainland and Qin Wenyan's attitude towards things , taking such a contract rashly and wanting to sign it, should I say it's a dream or a whimsical one?
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect to be treated like this. He stood up, took two breaths, took the briefcase, and slammed the door out with a full face.
Qin Wenyan lowered his smile, turned his gaze indifferently, and tapped his fingers on the desk with dissatisfaction, "Who contacted such a company? I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, but I still have a haughty attitude." , how can such a partner make me feel at ease?"
Shu Ya packed up the documents, "it was Liu Yang who contacted him", Liu Yang, Xiang Yuan took over as his department head after he resigned.
"Liu Yang?" Qin Wenyan read a sentence, and suddenly sighed softly. He was pretty good under Xiang Yuan before, but he still couldn't afford to be a leader. At least if Xiang Yuan was here, he wouldn't let such a company representative in. Thinking of Xiang Yuan, Qin Wenyan sat up straight and told Shu Ya, "Try to arrange the important itinerary for the next few days in these two days. I may have something to do in a few days."
Outside the courtyard wall, the weather was scorching hot. The big earthy yellow dog was lying in the shade under the courtyard wall. Doudou pulled a few stalks of dog's tail grass from the side to tease the dog. The big dog was obviously lazy and didn't want to move, so Doudou threw the dog away. Weiweicao sat next to the big dog, stretching out his hand to stroke the big dog's hair.
After looking at it for a long time, Xiang Yuan squatted beside Doudou, "I'm leaving tomorrow, do you want to follow me?"
Doudou raised her head, looked at Xiang Yuan with her black eyes for a long while, her little face was blushing and said nothing, but put her hand into Xiang Yuan's.Xiang Yuan squeezed the small soft hand in his hand, his heart was so soft that he poked a hole in it, and swore, "Okay, you are my son, I will beat anyone who bullies you in the future, and I will take you to watch cartoons together." , go to the zoo playground, play and eat as much as you want, and a group of aunts and uncles who love you, I want to make my precious son happy and happy every day!"
Doudou blinked and listened to what Xiang Yuan said, anticipation slowly emerged in the dark eyeballs, Xiang Yuan saw it, bent down and picked up Doudou, laughed and ran into the yard. Giggle" laughed, the principal in the main room saw it and nodded with a smile, completely relieved now.
In the evening, when the red sun was setting and the cool breeze was starting to rise, the principal called a few people to help Xiang Yuan pick a large basket of pears and come back, all of them were round and plump, bright yellow in color, Xiang Yuan picked them up and weighed them, good guy, It's heavy enough. It seems that it will be troublesome to take a car tomorrow. I took out 200 yuan from my wallet and handed it to the director of the village committee. The director refused at first, but I couldn't stand Xiang Yuan's reasoning. I'm sorry. Received.
In the evening of this day, the principal’s yard was very lively. The old people in the village knew that Doudou would be leaving tomorrow. Tonight, everyone hugged Doudou and talked for a long time. The children also played with Doudou with unprecedented enthusiasm. The villagers also brought a lot of local products from the farm, saying they were for Xiang Yuan and Doudou.
Xiang Yuan sighed at the chickens, ducks, and eggs in the yard. How would he bring such a huge amount of things?Besides, these things are quite precious in the village, so I was embarrassed to reject the enthusiasm of the villagers, and looked at the principal begging for help, "Uncle, I can't take so many things with me, and there is still a basket of pears, why don't you ask the uncles and aunts to take the things away?" take it back?"
The principal also saw Xiang Yuan's difficulties. The village was embarrassed to accept Xiang Yuan's rescue and money, so how could they refuse their return?
