After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Xu Zhinian's Diary-4】

June 2020, 6, rain

This year, I got a new diary, which is very beautiful. Mr. Jiang bought it.

He wrote a sharp line with a pen on the title page:

To Xu Zhinian,

May the years treat you with tenderness forever.

——Jiang Mingyi, who loves you

The old diary was also taken away by Mr. Jiang, who said he would put it together with my high school diary.

From now on, every time I finish writing a book, he will collect one and keep it for a lifetime.

I'm a little shy.

You have to pay attention, you can't speak ill of Mr. Jiang in the diary in the future, maybe he will see it someday.

After thinking about it, I actually didn't say anything bad about Mr. Jiang in the previous book.

After all, I love him so much.

The hotel in Haicheng is determined by the branch, and the best one in the area is selected.

The hotel is located by the sea, and you can see the blue sea and blue sky when you open the window.

My room is a suite with two floors, two bedrooms, and a kitchen with a balcony.

Xu Zhinian naturally shared a room with me.

1116

I arranged for Xu Zhinian to be a legal consultant. He was very nervous along the way, for fear of showing his timidity.

Unexpectedly, after landing, he found that the person in charge of the branch company who came to pick up the plane was even more nervous than him, was constantly wiping his sweat, and looked very afraid of me.

After getting in the car, I asked Assistant Sun: "Am I very aggressive? Why did the person in charge act like I was going to eat him the first time he saw me?"

Assistant Sun explained: "Haicheng is a small place, and the branch office only settled in last year. Its performance ranks last among all the branches. The person in charge probably thought that Mr. Jiang was here to inquire about crimes, so he was so frightened that he came to pick him up in person. gone."

Xu Zhinian laughed at me when he heard this: "The official authority is really great."

I:"……"

1117

The balcony of the room is facing the sea.

Looking from the balcony, you can see the vast sea, rough waves, and seagulls flying across the sky from time to time, all at a glance.

Standing on the balcony, Xu Zhinian sighed, "I grew up in Haicheng, but I didn't know that the sea could be so beautiful from here."

I leaned against the glass door of the balcony and asked him, "Do you like it here?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "Look at such a beautiful scenery for a long time, and the mood will naturally become much more comfortable."

I thought about it: "If you like, I can buy a sea view villa in Haicheng, and we can find time to come and live here every year."

Xu Zhinian seemed to be choked by me, and then said: "You don't need to bother."

1118

In the evening, the person in charge of the branch company offered to treat us to dinner and clean up the dust for us, but he couldn't refuse.

The banquet is full of seafood. The person in charge said that this is the specialty of Haicheng, and the seafood eaten in other places is not so fresh.

After Xu Zhinian finished eating, he quietly complained to me: "The seafood in this hotel is actually expensive and not delicious. It is several times more expensive than the ones outside. The seafood in Haicheng is cheaper to buy at the vegetable market, and many of them are bought back. It’s still alive and kicking. And I know a few small restaurants with authentic flavors and affordable prices.”

I said: "Then you take me to eat when you are free?"

Xu Zhinian nodded enthusiastically: "By the way, Mr. Jiang likes to eat shrimp. There are small white shrimps in Haicheng in winter. They are very delicious. Mr. Jiang will definitely like them."

I raised my eyebrows: "Really?"

Xu Zhinian said: "Yes, the fresher the white shrimp, the better it is. It's best to put the shrimp in the pot alive. I can just buy some and cook them for you when I get home."

I smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait."

1119

Xu Zhinian told me that Haicheng is very small.

On the street where he lived with his grandmother, every family knew each other, and the friendship between neighbors was very simple.

They are old and young, and neighbors will send things over every year and festival.

Sometimes walking on the main road, you can inadvertently hear someone calling your name and greeting you, and when you look up, you will see a familiar face.

1120

I didn't know much about this at the beginning, until when I went to inspect the branch, Xu Zhinian also met his acquaintances in the company.

A high school classmate.

Xu Zhinian froze for a moment, and that high school classmate was also surprised.

He looked at Xu Zhinian for a long time before saying, "It's really you, I can't even recognize you."

Xu Zhinian also said: "What a coincidence."

The man was a little overjoyed: "You actually work at the headquarters, oh yes, I remember that your high school grades were excellent, and your university exams were also very good. No wonder you were able to enter the headquarters. You must have had a good time these few years."

Xu Zhinian was a little embarrassed by his praise, and looked at me begging for help, so I interrupted them slowly and took Xu Zhinian away.

1121

"It's so embarrassing." Xu Zhinian said to me, "I'm not as good as he is, and I don't work in Mr. Jiang's company."

I glanced at him and said, "You have?"

Xu Zhinian was puzzled: "What?"

I hooked the corners of my lips and said, "You are the CEO's wife now, and you are also a member of our company."

Xu Zhinian: "..."

1122

The air in Haicheng is indeed much cleaner.

Time seems to pass slower in this small city than in big cities, and people's lives are more leisurely and relaxed.

I accompanied Xu Zhinian to his hometown.

Stepping on the bluestone path, I was led by him to bend a few times, and then I saw the arch bridge he mentioned to me.

1123

The arch bridge should have a history of hundreds of years, and the lettering on it has long been blurred, and the shape cannot be seen.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "Does this bridge have a name?"

Xu Zhinian said, "Yes."

I wondered: "What's it called?"

Xu Zhinian thought for a while and replied: "Grandma said it is called Rui'an Bridge, which means auspiciousness and peace."

1124

Cross the arch bridge, and then go inside, there are blue bricks and black tiles, long alleys.

It is also the place where Xu Zhinian grew up.

An old man came out of the alley, and when he walked past us, he stopped and looked at Xu Zhinian.

He said slowly, "Niannian is back."

Xu Zhinian showed him a sweet smile and said, "Grandpa Wang, it's me."

Grandpa Wang said in a dialect tone: "I haven't seen you for a few years. I grow so tall every year, and the changes are quite big. This time I brought my friends back together."

1125

The two exchanged a few words, and Grandpa Wang walked slowly while leaning on a cane.

Xu Zhinian said: "This is Grandpa Wang who lives on the same street as me. Most of the people living in the old street are old people. The young people have either gone out of town or bought a house in a community in the county. Few of them are willing to come back to live here. Only some nostalgic old people say that they are not used to living in high-rise buildings, and they are unwilling to move here if they stay here."

While talking, he took me to stop in front of an old house.

1126

In my opinion, this house is like a dilapidated house that is still waiting to be demolished. It is hard to imagine that people can still live in it.

The door is locked, because no one has passed by for too long, and there are some weeds growing under the door.

I curiously asked Xu Zhinian: "Do you have the key?"

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "Of course I don't now."

1127

Just when I was wondering if he was just going to take a look outside and not go in, Xu Zhinian moved a half-remained flower pot beside it without any plants.

He found a key under the pot.

He wiped the key, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of my eyes, quite complacently.

"Grandma is getting older and her memory is getting worse. Sometimes she will go out without a key and close the door by herself. I put a spare key under the flower pot." He said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, the key It's still there."

1128

Xu Zhinian opened the door with the key.

When the wooden door was pushed open, there was a creaking sound, as if welcoming the return of his long-lost master.

The sunlight poured in and fell on the room that hadn't seen the sun for several years, raising dust all over the sky.

"Mr. Jiang, be careful." Xu Zhinian reminded me, "There is a threshold, don't trip over it when you enter."

I raised my eyebrows: "Did I not see it?"

Xu Zhinian said embarrassingly: "When I was young, I often tripped and fell, and it hurt so much."

I touched his head and said, "I'm not you."

1129

I followed Xu Zhinian around, and found that the old house looked dilapidated on the outside, but there was nothing inside that should have been there.

It is because no one has been back for a long time, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the furniture.

Xu Zhinian had his own room, which was small, but it could be seen that it was furnished with care.

Beds, tables and chairs, bookshelves, wardrobes... I scanned them one by one, and finally my eyes stopped on a cardboard box next to his desk.

1130

"The notebooks in it are all my school notebooks," Xu Zhinian said.

I was curious: "Can I have a look?"

Xu Zhinian naturally agreed.

We squatted down together and unpacked the cardboard box.

1131

"This is my knowledge notebook in high school." Xu Zhinian said holding a dilapidated notebook, "I did it seriously and organized it neatly, but my classmates borrowed it to pass it around, and when I came back, I changed like this gone."

I praised: "It sounds like you were quite popular in high school."

Xu Zhinian said with a smile: "Because I have good grades and good looks, everyone likes to play with me."

I squeezed his face, then slowly leaned over, kissed him, and said, "But now this good-looking man with good grades is already my little boyfriend."

Xu Zhinian froze for a moment, then raised his head and kissed me back in the golden sunlight.

1132

I found a beautiful book at the bottom of the box, and it was locked unexpectedly.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "What is this?"

Xu Zhinian glanced at it twice before remembering: "It seems to be my... diary?"

I just laughed: "You actually know how to write a diary?"

Xu Zhinian said: "When we were in elementary school, the teacher asked us to keep a diary, and then I developed this habit. This book seems to be from my high school."

1133

"Can I see it?" I asked him.

Xu Zhinian nodded, and said, "But I don't remember the password for a long time."

"It's okay." I took out the notebook and put it aside, "I can take it back and unlock it slowly."

Xu Zhinian covered his face and said, "Then I have to think about it, did I write anything special about Secondary School when I was in high school?"

1134

I said, "Keeping a diary is a good habit, you can keep it."

Xu Zhinian looked at me and said, "Okay, I'll buy a diary when I get back."

I turned my head and said, "I'll see you off."

He suddenly came over and said loudly in my ear: "Then I will write in my diary every day, how much I love Mr. Jiang!"

1135

I turned away, and after a while, I couldn't help but turn back, hugged Xu Zhinian into my arms, and kissed him hard twice.

Xu Zhinian took advantage of the situation and hugged me back, and started to make a fuss.

We moved from the floor to the bed, the bed was newly made, with the smell of Xu Zhinian's old days.

His body was sunk in the bed, looking up at me with clear eyes.

I covered his eyes with one hand and groped down with the other.

1136

The sound insulation of the old house is not good.

Xu Zhinian's voice was intertwined with the sound of walking outside and the sound of wheels rolling by, making me and Xu Zhinian clearly aware of where we are now.

1137

Xu Zhinian's clothes were dirty.

He rummaged through the closet for a long time before finally finding a winter coat that could barely be worn outside.

"The clothes from three years ago." Xu Zhinian said in surprise, "I didn't think it was so small."

I rested my chin on his shoulder and said, "Because you haven't gained any weight."

1138

When I left, I took the diary with me, put it in front of Xu Zhinian and waved it.

I said: "You have to write well in the future, I will remember to check every day."

The author has something to say: still use your hands_(:зゝ∠)_

Recently, the number of comments has been reduced by half compared to before. Is it because I have begun to fall out of favor (smile gradually disappears)
