inappropriate time

It is You Xu's habit to check the time before going to bed. After washing and lying on the bed, he took his mobile phone to look at it. To his surprise, there was a short message on the screen of the mobile phone. When he clicked on it, it was from Zuo Ge, and the text message had no header. Just one sentence without thinking-"Don't be discouraged."

You Xu stared at the text message for several seconds, no thoughts came to his mind, he just felt that the palm of the hand holding the phone was slowly burning.This unexplainable situation made You Xu a little annoyed, he turned off the phone screen, turned off the desk lamp, quickly lay down on the bed, and even closed his eyes fiercely.

Zuo Ge put one hand behind his head and played with the phone with the other, puffing up his cheeks from time to time, wanting to wait for You Xu's reply.In fact, Zuo Ge was 80.00% sure that You Xu would treat this text message as if he hadn't seen it, but he couldn't let go of that 20.00% luck, and waited every minute in the middle of the night.

The thoughtless three words really disturbed You Xu's sleep, after several efforts to fall asleep, You Xu opened his eyes helplessly in the dark.

Before Zuo Ge called Xiaohongqi Hot Pot, who had been talking nonsense with him for so long, he was just trying to give him the opportunity to say these three words.In the end, he was so stupid that he couldn't say it at the time, and now he sent a text message in the middle of the night to say it.After all, these three words are what this bastard wants to say.Three words, calling and sending text messages, wasting so much time and energy... Zuo Ge, who is twitching and babbling, is really disgusting!

You Xu pressed the lamp switch heavily, took the phone in his hand, and pressed Zuo Ge's phone number with the same effort.

The moment the phone rang, it slipped from Zuo Ge's hand. Zuo Ge frantically squeezed the phone up, and seeing that the caller was You Xu, he groaned inwardly.It must be because of my hesitation several times in the night and a sudden text message that made You Xu unhappy, and I must have scolded you when I got through the call.Well, it's not bad to be scolded... Thinking of this, Zuo Ge gained the motivation to answer the phone.

"Xiao Xu." The moment the connection was made, Zuo Ge spoke first.You Xu didn't respond to him over there, but spoke directly and coldly.

You Xu said: "No matter who you listen to, put away your bad sympathy. I know my own affairs, and it's not time for anyone to say those words to encourage and cheer up. Just talk about the key points when you call, don't be idle. Looking for words wasted my time, and in the end your dissatisfaction turned into text messages, disturbing people when they were sleeping..."

Hearing this, Zuo Ge decisively interrupted You Xu, and said: "Xiao Xu, you are right, I was talking nonsense on the phone before, I just want to cheer you up, I don't want you to carry it alone , everyone thinks so in their hearts, but you really don't know how to do it... I'm coy and pretending to die."

Speaking of the last sentence, Zuo Ge's voice became light and light, and a little self-deprecating smile was rubbed into his voice at the end. I'm afraid it was this self-deprecating smile that made You Xu's words not so cold.Zuo Ge felt that after he finished his last sentence, he should have paused for a while, and You Xu spoke again.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think, and I don't feel wronged. It's supposed to be like this. It's weird if it's not like this."

Zuo Ge didn't expect You Xu's calmness when he said this. When he heard it, Zuo Ge was in a daze for a while and felt that it wasn't You Xu who was on the other end of the phone.

"Don't be dragged away by Xiao Chen's storytellers, and don't act in any inspirational drama for me. I accept your wishes, but I don't want your words."

Zuo Ge scratched his head and smiled wryly, "Okay."

"Sleep." You Xu hung up the phone neatly after saying this.

Zuo Ge looked at the phone that had already been hung up, and finally thought of an idiom that could describe himself—self-defeating.

The moment Zuo Ge turned off the light and got under the covers, Zuo Ge thought that during the years of being disconnected from each other, Zuo Ge is no longer the same Zuo Ge as before, and You Xu is not the same You Xu.When I think about this level, I don’t have any worries. People will change. Zuo Ge wants to make himself better and better, so it is right for You Xu to change, and You Xu also becomes better and better. the better.More stable than before, tougher than before, more fascinated by Zuo Ge than before.

You Xu's work can be described as leisurely, and he was too busy to accept this rhythm for a while, and he was anxious and irritable for three weeks in a row.When the weekend of the second week was approaching, I received a crying call from You Xiaobing saying that she couldn't see her father because her godfather was away on a business trip.Not long after Xiaobing hung up the phone, the godfather who was on his way to a business trip called again to explain the situation, and You Xu's slight excitement about seeing the child disappeared completely.

One week later, on a clear afternoon, the chief and several deputy bureaus met to sort out several personnel matters, and all items were settled, except for the vacancy of the director of the Jiangpuchang Town Police Station.Jiangpuchang is a small town facing the national highway. There are a total of five police officers, three civilian police and two assistant police.The director will retire next month, and the remaining two police officers are all young people who just came in last year.But this place is too small and out of the way. On the surface, it lacks a director. There are only three people in the place. The work probably includes the director to sanitation and cleaning.This director is a vacancy that no one wants to go to.

The conversation between those few people was quite difficult, but hearing You Xu's ears made the anxiety and dryness of the past few weeks dissipate.You Xu put away the pen in his hand, stood up, smiled slightly and said to the chief: "Director, I have a thick skin and recommend myself. Let me go to the Jiangpu police station..."

That's right, the idle administrative work is just a chore for You Xu during the transition period.The longer you work, the more ignorance permeates your heart. You Xu's anxiety usually comes from being too idle, and the other half comes from thinking about what the next step they will take for him will be.This time everything became clear, and You Xu felt relieved immediately.Now that the road is laid out in front of You Xu, You Xu can walk up it happily.No matter how small or remote the Jiangpuchang Police Station is, it can always accommodate You Xu.

Those few people were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked You Xu to take back the words, the words were very sweet, why did you get beaten up from the provincial department to us, how can you be sent to the grassroots police station?You Xu was already relieved, and lightly said back the high-sounding words, saying that he lacked experience at the grassroots level, and putting it here to cause trouble for the leaders is worse than putting it at the grassroots level. Although it is just a screw, it has come in handy after all.After talking about this scene a few times, the director patted You Xu on the shoulder to confirm the matter.

At that moment, You Xu lowered his gaze to look at the stainless steel ashtray on the table in the conference room, he didn't want to let himself see the slightest bit of satisfaction in the eyes of these colleagues.You Xu knew in his heart that they were just ordered by others, but his own morality was not good. If he really saw it, he might have some trouble with them.

Coming out of the conference room, You Xu looked at the sky with white clouds and clear wind, and seriously thought that if he went to Jiangpuchang police station, this matter should be over, right?After all, there is no better place to entertain the arrogant You Xu than this small police station with only three people.

Zuo Ge's business trip to Kunming was too sudden, he could only abruptly inform Princess Xiaobing to cancel his visit to his father.One day I heard from my grandparents that Princess Xiaobing's eyes were red from crying. When he came back from Kunming, he was holding a super big rabbit puppet in his hand. He had thought about five or six versions of how to apologize to the children in his mind, but Unexpectedly, Princess Xiaobing didn't blame him at all, and said as soon as she saw her, "Daddy, let's go see daddy this week, shall we?"

Zuo Ge couldn't refuse, so he immediately calculated the itinerary and decided to rush to Gongyang as soon as he received Xiaobing at 03:30 on Friday, and then have a reunion dinner with Xiaoxu.

There is only one street in Jiangpuchang Town, parallel to the national highway outside.Most of the houses are of wooden structure, with small gray tiles on the top and brick walls on the bottom. The pavement facing the street is sealed with long strips of wood.Different from the busy national highway outside, the streets of Jiangpuchang are very quiet.On weekdays, there are old neighbors coming and going, and only on the days when there are three, six, nine, it will be lively. These days are when Jiangpu Market is going to market, and people from nearby villages or mountains only come to Jiangpu Market at this time to do business. There are only a lot of them.

On the day You Xu came, he drove an old Paladin that had been driven by the Gongyang Municipal Bureau for five or six years. By the way, it was distributed to the Jiangpuchang Police Station, because he kept reporting that the only old Jetta was not working anymore, and often died inexplicably. fire.So You Xu drove the allotted old car for two full hours from downtown Gongyang to Jiangpuchang surrounded by mountains.

The scene of receiving You Xu was very grand. The old director who is about to retire led all the people of the police station to wait at the door. After exchanging greetings, the group of six had lunch at the small restaurant opposite the police station.The old director laughed and said that he wanted You Xu to establish a good relationship with the owner of the restaurant. This small restaurant with no name and no license is the cafeteria of our police station.

In addition to the old director, the other two policemen at the Jiangpuchang Police Station are two young men in their early twenties.One is Luo Xing, who is in charge of household registration, and the other is a strong, unsmiling guy named Jiayang Mochi, a Tibetan.In terms of lineage, You Xu and Jiayang Mochi wanted to run out of the police together, and Luo Xing was basically stationed at the police station.The other two police assistants are local elder brothers in their forties who also serve as village officials in a small village on the edge of Jiangpuchang Town. The two elder brothers will only come to the town to patrol the town on market days to maintain order.

After dinner, the old director briefly explained the work to You Xu and asked Jiayang Mochi to take him to the dormitory to settle down.The dormitory is behind the office area of ​​the police station. It is a row of four small bungalows. Because it is built along the mountain, it is higher than the front office area.The roof is used as a terrace, and there are stairs at the end of the house.There is a place to dry clothes on the terrace, as well as stone tables and chairs, and a long row of flowerpots of various shapes are placed on the edge.This season is blooming small flowers with thin but big petals, high and low, crowded, blooming like a raging fire.

You Xu felt that this kind of flower was often seen in the scenery documentaries of Tibetan areas, so he secretly speculated that these words should be planted by Jiayang, and asked him what the names of those flowers were when he was helping him hang the mosquito net.

Jiayang Mochi didn't stop what he was doing and said: "Gesanghua." You Xu suddenly realized: "This is Gesanghua..." But Jiayang Mochi said: "Any wild flower that cannot be named can be called Gesanghua."

Hearing this sentence, You Xu suddenly realized again. He realized that Comrade Jiayang Mochi is a natural good at making up swords.

You Xiaobing disliked the word "Daddy" and called him tired, so he automatically changed his name to Daddy, and complacently explained that it was the exclusive creation of Princess Xiaobing.No matter what, Zuo Gerong was promoted to Daddy, and it feels good to be called by Daddy.

"Daddy, how long will it take to arrive?" You Xiaobing loosened his seat belt, and his whole face was almost stuck to the car window.Seeing dark clouds rising from the mountains in the distance, she forgot to wait for the answer to her own question, and called Zuo Ge happily: "Daddy, the dark clouds are coming out and it's going to rain, there are so many dark clouds over the mountains! "

Zuo Ge took a quick glance at the mountain that You Xiaobing said, and it was much thicker than the dark clouds he saw directly in front of him. It seems that the rain will not be light.The navigation shows that there are still about [-] kilometers to reach the destination Jiangpuchang, and if it does not rain, it will definitely be there within an hour.

Zuo Ge didn't tell Zuo Ge about You Xu's second transfer. Zuo Ge called him yesterday afternoon and told him that he would come over this afternoon, and You Xu said lightly, "Oh, then come to Jiangpu Field."

What the hell is Jiangpuchang?Zuo Ge hadn't heard of it at all, so he hurriedly asked You Xu how to write it, and wanted to ask how he changed places, but he heard You Xu's side was quite noisy on the phone, thinking that we would meet tomorrow, he didn't ask much.Got off the phone and searched this place.After the results came out, it didn't matter at all, it was two hours away from Gongyang.

Looking at the stormy posture in the darkening sky, Zuo Ge realized that You Xu had been assigned for the second time.

"Xiaobing, there is a rest area in front, do you want to go to the toilet?" Zuo Ge glanced at the sign and hurriedly asked the child.

"No. Don't stop, hurry up to see Dad." You Xiaobing waved his hands without turning his head, and concentrated on looking at the dark clouds that leapfrogged and thickened.

Zuo Ge said yes, and sped up a little to overtake the big truck in front.

It was raining lightly, and the village was dark, except for the little yellow light from the lights of other people's houses.

Jia Yang broke off a piece of bamboo from the bamboo fence beside the road and handed it to You Xu, who looked blank.Kangar pointed to the rain boots on their feet.Only then did You Xu understand that Jia Yang's intention of giving the bamboo slices was to let You Xu scrape off the mud sticking to the rain boots.

"No wonder the more you walk, the heavier you go." You Xu said while scraping the mud, "The cement road is coming, and I'm going to die if I keep walking."

Villagers in Shiqiao Village lost two pigs, one of which was a breeding pig.After receiving the report, You Xu and Jia Yang drove to the village and inspected the stone pigsty, which was obviously smashed deliberately.As soon as I found out that I had an enmity with my neighbor because of watering the fields, I went to the neighbor's house to investigate and saw the big hammer placed under the window sill. The powder left by the hammer on the pigsty was still there.All of a sudden, the evidence was convincing, and after the two parties made peace, they said they went up to the mountain to find pigs, so they wandered around the mountain with the two families for three or four hours, and found the two pigs that had wandered in the mountain forest all night and howled with hunger.Case closed.

Jia Yang drove, and You Xu climbed into the passenger seat and sat down, but he held back and fell limp.Jia Yang looked at You Xu who was sweating on his head. Although he didn't speak, his eyes meant that the director's physical strength was really weak.

Just after driving out of Shiqiao Village, You Xu, who was paralyzed into a puddle of mud, suddenly straightened up, reached out and took out his mobile phone from under his buttocks, and saw that there were four missed calls.

You Xu suddenly felt ashamed, he left his phone in the car and didn't receive a call.Seeing that the last call was made half an hour ago, those two guys must have been waiting so hard.

"Jiang, drive faster." You Xu collapsed while pinching the phone.

"Okay." Kangar answered very simply, stepped on the accelerator and suddenly increased the speed.

You Xu grabbed the seat belt tightly while being thrown forward, and after sitting firmly again, Director You put on the seat belt silently.
