winter solstice

After nearly a month of busy work, it was already halfway through May when I finalized the list for the Americas and returned home.It was the evening when Qiao Dongzhi arrived in T City. When he got off the taxi and walked back to the community, he found that the opposite street was crowded with people, most of whom were in pairs. Many people were still holding flowers. Qiao Dongzhi suddenly realized, This day, May NO.20, is 520, the new Valentine's Day.Infected by the strong love atmosphere all over the street, he pulled his suitcase and went directly to the flower shop next to the gate of the community.On the recommendation of the store manager, he picked 19 purple roses and 7 white bellflowers, and 5 white acacias. He tied a big bunch and held it in his arms. He planned to give Jiang Yuan a surprise when he got off work. .

Jiang Yuan arrived at home around ten o'clock in the evening, opened the door, and the light in the living room was on. He walked into the living room, glanced around and did not find Qiao Dongzhi. Just as he was wondering, the door of the study opened suddenly, and Qiao Dongzhi came out with Still holding a bouquet of flowers, he smiled and said, "I'm back, I'll give it to you." After speaking, he moved forward with both hands, and handed the flowers to Jiang Yuan.Jiang Yuan took it and sighed: "Bought such a large bouquet of flowers, it seems that this business trip is not small!" Qiao Dongzhi guessed that he didn't realize what day it was today, and didn't bother to remind him, just continued: " Yes, the harvest is not small. I cook porridge in the kitchen for supper, would you like some?" Jiang Yuan nodded and said: "Then I'll go and serve some, I just feel a little hungry, you can continue to work on your work first."" It's okay, I'm almost done, go and change your clothes, I'll serve the porridge." After speaking, Qiao Dongzhi turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Yuan walked into the bedroom with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms. When changing clothes, he inadvertently glanced at the calendar on the bedside table. Today is May 520th, um, [-]?He belatedly realized the significance of Qiao Dongzhi sending flowers.After changing clothes, Qiao Dongzhi was sitting at one side of the dining table, on which were two bowls of porridge and a plate of side dishes.Jiang Yuan walked over and sat down, looked at Qiao Dongzhi and said, "Thank you for the flowers, happy holidays." Knowing that he had realized it, Qiao Dongzhi replied, "Happy holidays. Try this radish, I just brought it back from America , I bought a few packs after eating well." Jiang Yuan bowed his head and drank a mouthful of porridge, the mung bean was soft and glutinous, and the lily was delicious, and then he tasted the radish, which was sour and crisp, and the taste was really good. , Qiao Dongzhi accepted his praise calmly with a smile, and the two drank porridge and tasted carrots together, enjoying themselves happily.

In July, Lingling started her summer vacation life. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Zhao Shanshan organized a folk music interest class in the Children's Palace, teaching children how to play the guzheng.Lingling went with her a few times, but she was not interested in going again. She called her brother when she was alone at home during the day, and Qiao Dongzhi was also busy with work, so she couldn't talk on the phone with her from time to time. After obtaining Zhao Shanshan's consent, she called her brother Send her to Jiang's house to relieve the boredom of Jiang Xiaoxia who is waiting to give birth.When Jiang Xiaoxia saw Lingling, it was like seeing a revolutionary comrade in arms. Every day, she took her vigorously to sweep the streets, shopping malls and food courts. The two of them lived a comfortable and happy life.

More than a month later, Qiao Dongzhi came to pick Lingling back. During dinner at Jiang's house, the topic talked about Qiao Dongzhi's recent work, and mentioned the company's President Jiang by the way. Jiang's mother couldn't help sighing: "A person in his 40s , I only know about work all day long.” Jiang Xiaoxia knew that her mother was worried about her uncle’s life-long affairs again, and after her pregnant wife died in the line of duty a year after marriage, Uncle Jiang devoted herself to work and never thought of remarrying. Knowing that he has a deep relationship with his wife, childhood sweethearts, his family did not dare to persuade him to remarry easily, so they could only worry silently.Qiao Dongzhi didn't know about Mr. Jiang's past, but judging by the expressions of Jiang's mother and Jiang Xiaoxia, it must be a very sad story, and he couldn't say anything easily. For a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell into a slump.At this moment, Lingling suddenly said: "Uncle Jiang is a good man, he even helped mother drive away father not long ago."
