Old Gong likes to recruit ghosts

When Xu Lanzhi received Xia Jiuyuan's call, she had just had breakfast and was about to go out for a walk.

Xia Jiuyuan on the other end of the phone said he would come back for dinner tonight.

Xu Lanzhi was happy, her smiling eyes narrowed, and she talked too much, "Okay, mom will go buy your favorite fish and shrimp now, you come directly after work, sleep at home overnight, and leave home early tomorrow morning go to company."

Xia Jiuyuan agreed and said another word.

"Ah..." Xu Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice, and said reluctantly, "Oh, let's go together."

Xia Jiuyuan noticed the change in mood over there, smiled, and winked at Bai Ye who was sitting next to him.After hanging up the phone, Xia Jiuyuan had a smile in his eyes, "I reluctantly agreed."

Bai Ye rubbed his head helplessly.

Xia Jiuyuan asked Bai Ye to wait at the door of his company when he got off work.After a busy day, Xia Jiuyuan stretched his waist, and the text message sounded. When he opened it, it was the news that Bai Ye had arrived downstairs in the company.

Smiling, Xia Jiuyuan returned him.

Yi Rujun wanted to take Xia Jiuyuan to a barbecue, but Xia Jiuyuan refused.Downstairs in the company, Xia Jiuyuan saw Bai Ye standing next to the glass door at a glance, looking at Xia Jiuyuan's figure inside with a pair of eyes.Yi Rujun came down with Xia Jiuyuan, followed Xia Jiuyuan's eyes and saw Bai Ye, bumped Xia Jiuyuan's shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, your partner is here to pick you up."

"I saw it."

"I really envy you!" Yi Rujun sighed, this is true, although he has divorced, but he is a ghost after all, he can't do many small surprises and romances between lovers, such as the simplest meeting get off work.

Xia Jiuyuan smiled.

Su Xi followed closely behind the two, saw Bai Ye, and heard the conversation between the two of them, her heart became clearer.

When Yi Rujun and Su Xi stepped into the crowd, they walked side by side in the direction of Xia Jiuyuan's house.Xia Jiuyuan originally wanted to take a car, but he wanted to have a good walk with Bai Ye, so he took Bai Ye to take a shortcut.Bai Ye is everything according to him, Xia Jiuyuan goes there, and he just follows.On both sides of the main road are sycamore trees, the leaves are starting to turn yellow, and a few pieces will fall when the wind blows.

There are not many shops around, no noise, the sky is half dark, the street lights are not on, and the breeze is blowing, which is quite comfortable.

Bai Ye was almost half a head taller than Xia Jiuyuan, and Xia Jiuyuan could only be at eye level with Bai Ye when he stood on the curb.A car drove by, and the headlights dazzled Xia Jiuyuan's eyes. He turned his head and looked at Bai Ye's calm face. Under the dim sunlight, Bai Ye's face had a different feeling, hazy, as if separated by a layer of veil.

Xia Jiuyuan shook his head, and looked over again, it was clear.

The two walked side by side, and their arms swinging back and forth would occasionally touch each other. At this time, Xia Jiuyuan's heart would have a silent little joy, just like a girl in Huaichun who accidentally bumped into someone's clothes, Have fun for days.How did he fall in love with Bai Ye?Xia Jiuyuan couldn't help thinking.

Xia Jiuyuan looked at Bai Ye from top to bottom, and gradually smiled.Bai Ye tilted his head, wondering, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Bai Ye laughed along with him.

The hands rubbed together inadvertently, Xia Jiuyuan reflexively retracted, and in the next second, Bai Ye's hand was wrapped around him.There was a strange feeling in Xia Jiuyuan's heart. They held hands very rarely. Even when they were most emotional on the bed, they never said they held each other's hand.But this time, on the road, with pedestrians around, they pulled each other without warning, their fingers crossed, and their palms were tightly pressed together.

"You have to hold me well." Xia Jiuyuan remembered what he said to Bai Ye when the two were young.Bai Ye didn't understand for a moment, but he exerted more strength in his hand, and held it even tighter.Xia Jiuyuan said, "In this way, I can be saved until next year, next year, and next year."

Same words as childhood.

Bai Ye always remembered this sentence, and sometimes it even became his nightmare. He promised to hold hands all the time, but when Xia Jiuyuan's hand slipped from his palm, he was powerless and didn't even dare to turn his head.

"Well, I will definitely hold it."

It was almost six o'clock when we arrived at Xia's house, and Xia Jiuyuan got off work at five o'clock, and it took the two of them a full hour to get there.As soon as she entered the door, Xu Lanzhi put on her apron and muttered that they came so late and the dishes were all ready.

"Uncle Xia, Aunt Xu." Bai Ye called.

Xu Lanzhi grudgingly hummed, but Xia Heshan didn't recognize Bai Yelai for a while, thinking it was his son's friend, "This is?"

"I am White Night."

white night?Xia Heshan had a little influence on the name, filtered it in his mind, and stared at Bai Ye's face suddenly, the person in front of him looked like the person from his hometown village.In order to prove his guess, Xia Heshan glanced at Xu Lanzhi, and when Xu Lanzhi nodded, he suddenly said, "It's Bai Ye, who has grown so big."

Bai Ye nodded, "Yes."

A few people didn't speak for a while, and they were a little embarrassed.

Xu Lanzhi greeted, "Don't talk, eat first, Xiaoyuan must be hungry after working all day, if you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner."

Xia Heshan also said, "Yes, wash your hands and eat."

The meal was not cheerful, except for Xia Jiuyuan who was active, the three of them were mostly silent, only answering a few words occasionally.Xia Jiuyuan went to the balcony to collect his clothes, and Bai Ye followed. The balcony lights were not turned on, and it was dark. Xia Jiuyuan tiptoed and kissed the corner of Bai Ye's mouth, comforting him, "It's okay, take your time, they will like you."

Bai Ye has no idea.

Xia Jiuyuan asked Bai Ye to play chess with Xia Heshan, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes with Xu Lanzhi and chat.

Xia Jiuyuan also wanted to wash the dishes, but Xu Lanzhi refused to let him, and asked, "Have you been safe recently?"

"quiet."

"She, isn't she here?"

"Come twice."

"Twice!" Xu Lanzhi was shocked, the bowl in her hand almost slipped out.

Xia Jiuyuan said it casually, "Well, the first time I left without doing anything, the second time I was chased away by Bai Ye. Just last night, Bai Ye was injured. On his back, there was a finger-long scar Still bleeding."

"Ah! Are you better?"

"It's healed." Strange to say, the wound that Bai Ye cried out in pain last night was completely healed this morning, with no trace visible, as if the scar that Xia Jiuyuan saw yesterday was fake.

"That's good." Xu Lanzhi felt relieved.

Xia Jiuyuan glanced out the window, it was dark, "Mom, if I die like that at that time, what will you and Dad do?"

Xu Lanzhi was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"If Bai Ye didn't save me, what are you going to do?" Xia Jiuyuan said, rules are dead, but people are alive. He thought how stupid and ignorant he must be, so that he could do nothing when he knew his son was going to sacrifice to heaven. don't do it.

"Xiaoyuan, it's my mother's mistake."

Xu Lanzhi also knew that they were too cowardly back then, did not dare to resist, and had to endure everything.But there is no other way. Others have complied. If you are special, tens of millions of people whose children have been sacrificed to the heavens will feel uncomfortable. At that time, you will not be able to live in peace in the village.Xu Lanzhi sighed.

Xia Jiuyuan didn't speak.

Xu Lanzhi turned her head to listen to the movement of the two people outside, and said to Xia Jiuyuan, "You and Xiao Ye?" She had just seen the scene on the balcony.

"We're together."

"Ah!" Xu Lanzhi didn't expect Xia Jiuyuan to admit it openly, and held back his words.

Xia Jiuyuan looked at her without speaking.

After a long time, Xu Lanzhi let go, "As long as you like it."

"Thank you, Mom." Xia Jiuyuan hugged Xu Lanzhi's waist from behind, and leaned his head on Xu Lanzhi's shoulder affectionately.

Xia Jiuyuan hadn't been close to Xu Lanzhi for a long time. Now that Xia Jiuyuan was holding Xu Lanzhi, he turned his head and saw a few white hairs mixed with Xu Lanzhi's black hair. His heart felt sour, his eyes were slightly hot, and he wanted to cry.

"What about Jiucheng?"

"It's good. I went to college and got married last year."

"Oh."

When Xia Jiuyuan went out, he turned his head and said, "Why don't you and Dad take some time to go back to Fengcun, no matter how bad it is, it's the root cause."

Xu Lanzhi didn't look back, her mouth was tightly pursed, and her tears fell silently. Her 14 years of persistence all collapsed at this moment.Except for the inhuman thing of offering sacrifices to heaven, the other days of spring are also considered happy, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, daily food, rice, oil and salt, sons and husbands, it is also a good time.
