Think childish

……

"I miss you so much, Ah Zhi, whether I dream of you or not."

After Qiu Shui said this, he suddenly put down his wine glass, turned to look at the clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late, you can't drive after drinking, call an assistant to pick you up?"

Qiao Zhi was still immersed in her true feelings just now, but she never expected that the true feelings would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Looking at her expression, Qiu Shui hesitated and said, "Or, will you stay with me?"

Qiao Zhi felt a bit of reluctance when she heard her tone. She thought that the estrangement and strangeness between the two could be eliminated after the mutual confession just now, but Qiu Shui's reaction made her I can't understand it a bit.

"I'll call the assistant." Qiao Zhi said, walked to the sofa, picked up the satchel, took out the phone, went to the side, and dialed Xiao Li's number.

Qiu Shui picked up the wine glass again and tasted it by himself.

Xiao Li arrived very quickly, and Qiao Zhi didn't realize how things had come to this point until she got into the car when she went downstairs. She had some doubts—was she... kicked out?

Xiao Li started the car and turned to drive towards Yushui Garden. On the way, he sneaked a look at his boss's face—hmm...it seemed very complicated and tricky.

When the car passed the second traffic light intersection, Qiao Zhi, who had been in deep thought, came back to her senses. She stared at Xiao Li for a while, and when the person she was looking at was so terrified that she wanted to stop and run away, she said: "You Have you ever talked about love?"

Xiao Li said "ah". Seeing that her expression was more serious, which was completely the attitude when talking about business affairs, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, then calmed down, and said in a flat tone: "No, Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Zhi didn't seem very convinced: "Your condition is not bad, no man is chasing you?"

"..." Xiao Li said, "This is still available."

Qiao Zhi: "Then why don't you fall in love?"

Xiao Li: "..."

Because my boss is a workaholic, I don't have time to talk!

Xiao Li smiled slightly, and said, "For the time being, I just want to work hard, and emotional matters...Maybe I haven't met the right one yet."

Qiao Zhi forgot what she wanted to ask, but suddenly became interested in her words.

"Then how do you judge whether a person is suitable for you?" she asked.

Although Xiao Li was rather strange about the state in front of her, he still replied loyally: "I don't know."

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Li boldly asked, "Does Qiao always have someone he likes?"

The corner of Qiao Zhi's mouth twitched, neither refusing nor admitting, suddenly changed the subject and said: "There is a writer named 'Zhuang Qiushui', you go to the bookstore tomorrow and buy a copy of all the books written by her, remember, all the books are written by her. .” She deliberately emphasized.

There are not many people close to Qiao Zhi, and Xiao Li knows and knows them all. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered who this "Zhuang Qiushui" was. He looked surprised and said, "She is not..."

"Well, my sister." After Qiao Zhi finished speaking, her face suddenly turned a little pale. "It's very good. If you want to see it, you can buy another copy, and I will reimburse you."

"..." Xiao Li: "Mr. Qiao, if you pay me such a high salary, I still have money for a few books."

Qiao Zhi: "...Oh."

***

Qiao Zhi left.Qiu Shui leaned on the window sill and watched her car slowly drive away. The red wine in her hand exuded an intoxicating aroma. It was different from the red wine she used to drink in Beato’s farm. This wine was a little more sour, which was actually more suitable for dining .

In the end, she poured half of the bottle of wine into her stomach. The heat and cool wind came in at night. With a slightly drowsy mind, she walked to the desk and took down the book "The Orange Girl Sleeping" that Qiao Zhi had read. Don't see", I put it on the tip of my nose and sniffed it, and then I opened it...

……

"The Orange Girl Can't Sleep" is a fairy tale she didn't write long, and she took the time to create it when she was teaching in Jingyuan, Gansu.The reason why she wrote this story at the time was just to coax those children. When she wrote it, she never thought that one day this book could be used to coax a certain "big child". This feeling is quite amazing of.

Qiu Shui put the books back on the bookshelf, packed up the Walkman and put them in the small cabinet on the right. When he got up, he felt his throat was so thirsty, as if it was about to catch fire.

She went to the living room to pour water. The mobile phone was placed on the dining table. She picked it up and took a look, only to find that Gu Jia had called her several times.

The clock on the wall was already past midnight, and if it were someone else, Qiu Shui would definitely not call back at this time, but Gu Jia...that is a night owl who turned black and white.

The phone was connected, and Gu Jia's clear voice reached her ears in an instant.Qiu Shui listened for two seconds, then smiled: "What is going on with you in the middle of the night?"

Gu Jia smiled and said, "It's my birthday today, we had a party in the small courtyard, and we're having a good time!" After saying that, the noisy background sound on the other end of the phone suddenly became quieter, it should be Gu Jia who changed the party. Find a place to answer the phone.

Qiu Shui said: "I've been rushing to write a manuscript recently, and my days have been so dark that I forgot about it. Say sorry to Guoguo for me, and wish her a happy birthday."

"It's okay! It's not an outsider." She smiled.

Gu Jia's hometown is in a small county under the province of S. It is not well-known, but it is clean and the scenery is excellent.A few years ago, Gu Jia and Guoguo packed their luggage and returned to their hometown together. They planned to buy a house in the city to rest their feet, but for some reason, they fell in love with a dilapidated yard in a lonely village.

The village is small, next to the foot of the mountain, there are basically no young adults in the village, only some old people and a few middle-aged people left.When Qiu Shui heard her talk about it, she still doubted whether the two of them could adapt to such a quiet life, but now it seems that they have adapted very well.

"It's almost three o'clock in the morning, can't it be just the two of you having fun there?" Qiu Shui asked.

Gu Jia said: "It's just the two of us? There are also our neighbors, Uncle Chen and Uncle Li! These two uncles can drink, but they are not convinced. They almost drank all the wine I saved!"

It sounds like their lives are a bit like "envying mandarin ducks but not immortals"... Qiushui felt a little relieved and envious, and then cut to the point: "Let's not talk about this, why are you calling me? "

Gu Jia said "oh", and without going around the corner with her, she said directly: "That's right, there is a vineyard in the village next door to us, and the owner of the vineyard didn't want to do it last year, but Guo and I thought about brewing some wine for ourselves." I contracted with them for a year and gave some extra money. Just for this, we dug a hole in the backyard and built an underground wine cellar. How about it? Come and have a look, and let me know your wine-making skills. Shall we also teach and teach?"

"..."

Qiu Shui held back for a long time, and finally said: "You two really are not idle at all!"

Gu Jia smiled, and kept persuading her: "Come quickly, the travel expenses will be reimbursed for you."

Qiu Shui sneered, agreeing.

……

Xiao Li has always done things neatly and steadily. When Qiao Zhi went to work in the company the next day, the whole set of Zhuang's books was already neatly arranged on his desk.

So, on this day, all the colleagues in the company got a very strange order from Li Qian, the chief assistant - no big deal, don't disturb.

Everyone speculated that Mr. Qiao had encountered some huge problem and needed to retreat and think hard?Rumors spread ten and ten times, and the version became more and more absurd. In the end, all employees felt that a new round of "death overtime" plan was about to be put on the agenda.

So, when Qiao Zhi stared at the end of get off work time and walked briskly out of the office door, she was extremely surprised to find that although it was already time to end work, all the employees of the company were sticking to their workstations. is in full swing!Its momentum has the feeling of "dedicating your life and never dying".

Shocked and ashamed, Qiao Zhi immediately turned around and went back to the office like a normal person, then took out the unfinished novel from her bag, and continued to read it at night.

Xiao Li, who watched all this, said, "..."

Crazy, crazy, the world has gone crazy.

……

Qiao Zhi spent three days staying up all night watching all the books written by Zhuang Zhuang, and deliberately made a late-night phone call with the other party under the guise of "discussing literature". Called again after a while, but when I got through, I learned that the other party had gone to another place.

"Where do you say you are?" Qiao Zhi sat up from the bed, with the quilt stacked in his arms.

Qiu Shui reported the address again.

"Picking grapes?" Qiao Zhi frowned, "How long will it take?"

On the phone, Qiu Shui's voice was very soft, and he seemed a little weak: "I don't know, the vineyard is very big, it depends on the three of us, and it may take a month or so."

a few months? ? ? ?

The thoughtful Boss Qiao couldn't sit still for a moment. After turning his mind quickly, he asked with a little anxiety and hesitation: "Then...how about I go over and help you?"

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Shui turned around abruptly, hid his face under the quilt and secretly laughed for a while, then switched back to a weak voice and said, "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you? It's very hard."

"It's hard work and you still go to work for others? How long have you been in good health? If I don't look at you for a day, you just run around!" Qiao Zhi complained angrily. It is a bit inappropriate for me to say these words, and I hurried back to make amends, "Then it's settled, I will fly over tomorrow morning, and I will tell you when I land."

"Alright then." Qiu Shui finally said.

When Qiao Zhi hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, she was still a little upset - that's fine.It sounds so reluctant...

annoying!It's so annoying!

……

The next morning, after eleven o'clock in the morning, Qiao Zhi landed in S Province. According to the address Qiu Shui sent her, she went all the way, and finally arrived at the village at almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Carrying a small suitcase, Qiao Zhi stood at the entrance of the trail leading into the village in high heels, waiting left and right, and finally, she saw a figure running towards her from a distance. That figure... was not Qiu Shui.

Qiao Zhi looked at the out of breath girl standing in front of her eyes, searched in her mind, and remembered who she was, but she was not famous.

This situation was really embarrassing. Qiao Zhi hesitated before deciding how to speak. The girl took the initiative to greet her and said, "Sister Qiao Zhi, I will follow Qiushui to call you sister. I am Chen Guoguo. I don't know if you still have any impressions." Suddenly grinning, "But before I came, Qiushui said that even if you still remember me, you would definitely not be able to call me by my name. It seems that she was right."

Qiao Zhi: "..."

"Haha, it's okay, I'm just joking with you!" Guoguo said with a smile, "Come on, give me your luggage, and I'll take you there."

Qiao Zhi shied away from letting her really help her with the luggage, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your hard work, come and pick me up, and you don't want to say goodbye to you, we are not so different in seniority, just call me Ah Zhi, okay?" Guoguo?"

Guoguo responded sweetly and agreed.

The two walked towards the village, and all they saw along the way were green mountains and green waters that were rarely seen in big cities.

Qiao Zhi relaxed and said, "I heard from Qiu'er that the vineyard you contracted is quite large, so why do you rely on the three girls to pick it? The weather is so hot, so be careful not to suffer from heat stroke."

Guoguo gave a strange "hmm": "No, Jiajia and I have invited fellow villagers from neighboring villages to help pick grapes. The three of us are not responsible for picking grapes." She added, "The two of them just stay in the house all day long. What kind of brewing recipes are being worked out, me, I will be responsible for cooking for everyone to fill their stomachs."

Qiao Zhi: "………………………"

Zhuang Qiushui, very good.

The author has something to say: here we come, sorry for the long wait
