Chihuahua

quick.Traffic jams are easy on weekend nights, and we are not on the way, so you should go back early. "

Song Sihan nodded: "Send a message in the group when you get home."

"Okay." Originally, there were only three groups of Lou Jingxian, Song Yan, and Song Sihan chatting about "Disco Girls" and today they became four groups. Coincidentally, even the group name didn't need to be changed.The day when the four of them met for the first time was the origin of the name "Disco Girl".

When he got home, Cheng Ji sent a message in the group, packed up the things he bought today, and sat comfortably on the sofa after taking a shower.Whether in the office or out during the day, I always hear too many sounds in my ears. I just want to be quiet when I go home, and I don’t need soothing music.

When thinking about things in your mind, quiet is the best environment.She thought about the few words Song Sihan said, saying that she was gentle and slow to warm up. Song Sihan's words to describe her were always praiseworthy, neutral words at most.The last time she confessed to Song Sihan at the airport, Song Sihan's response made her feel very distorted, and this time again.

That time she had nothing to say, and this time again.

Let Cheng Ji describe herself, although she will not underestimate herself, but she really can't use a few words of praise, especially in terms of feelings.At work, she is willing to say that she is independent and self-reliant, or that she is tolerant and good at disguising, or that she is smart and brave.Emotionally, her positioning of herself can be summed up in two words: failure.The family relationship is desolate, the love cannot last long, and the friendship is at every step.

What kind of tenderness is nothing more than giving back a little bit when receiving care that exceeds the standard.

What is slow, but I want to use more time to weigh the pros and cons and infer the results of the development.

But both times she responded silently to Song Sihan's evaluation.Maybe, Cheng Ji frowned and thought hesitantly, maybe she wanted this, wanted to be affirmed.So when she heard these words, she subconsciously refused to deny them.

Paradoxically, these words came from Song Sihan who was owed by her.While filling her needs, she aggravated her guilt.On the other hand, this is certain, except for Song Sihan, who would be sure of her?It can only be Song Sihan - who doesn't care about her past hurts, not only fully understands, but also admits her mistakes, only such a person would do such a thing.

In the half month since returning from Fan's house, every time Cheng Ji thought of Song Sihan crying and telling her "I should find out" at the airport that day, her heart rate would change.

For more than five years, after she left Song Sihan, she dared not relax day and night, and tried her best to make achievements to prove that her existence was reasonable.She kept walking forward, never daring to turn back and never allowing herself to turn back. She thought she had gone far enough, but she saw Song Sihan again on this road.It turned out that Song Sihan was still walking in front of her.

She used to think that she would never meet, so she would slowly forget this person with regret and guilt, and she did.Until she met Song Sihan again by chance, and a glance brought back the buried memories.She tried to suppress her memory and wanted to keep a distance from Song Sihan, as if they had never met again.The previous relationship has long passed, so don't make each other uncomfortable.

It was a coincidence, but in fact it was not a coincidence. It was Song Sihan who rushed to her side and made her realize that those things were not completely over. She owed Song Sihan an explanation all the time.She finally let go of the past, untied her knot, admitted her mistakes, and let the useless guilt fall into place.

—but was forgiven lightly.

It was like falling off a cliff, ready to be hit all over with cuts and bruises, but ended up plunging into the soft cotton, feeling at a loss for what to do.She was confused and had no direction, and walked along Song Sihan, thinking that maybe they could get along normally.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, her mentality changed again.

Her deep-seated emotions were stirred up by Song Sihan's few words, and after several years of distance, she broke out of the water.In the past few years after leaving Song Sihan, she grew up alone, and she has never seen what Song Sihan has in others.She thought that when she grows up, she will be self-reliant and self-reliant, and she will no longer yearn for the things she lacked since childhood, but the longer she spends with Song Sihan, the more clearly she realizes: what she longed for in the past is still longing for now.

And Sihan still has these things on her body.Not only that, but Song Sihan took a step forward and attracted her even more than before.

Song Sihan unilaterally let go of the past with her and reconciled with her. He has no grievances in his heart and sincerely wants to be friends with her.Caring about her, worrying about her, like a habit, like a nature, like a continuation of the past, from her eight years old to her 26 years old, 18 years have been the same.There is really no one with a more pure state of mind than Song Sihan.

Cheng Ji took a deep breath, unable to relieve the itching in his heart.

How can He De He Neng.

She had voluntarily given up this qualification long ago.Even if Song Sihan is willing to forgive, she cannot forget her mistake.Right now, she shouldn't have extra thoughts, and she can't do anything for Song Sihan. The only thing she can do is to do a good job in the cooperation project.

The following Monday, Cheng Ji went to Qiushi District to sign a contract with Song Sihan, and then went to see Guan Mingming.

After talking about work and imagining the future cooperation prospects of the two companies, Guan Mingming still did not propose a breakup, as if he was not in a hurry to return to the company.Cheng Ji didn't make appointments with other clients, so he didn't mind talking with her for a while.

She had a very good impression of Guan Mingming in several meetings.Guan Mingming is very serious about his work, respects Party B, and has never been perfunctory or procrastinating; he often laughs and speaks in a gentle manner. Unlike Cheng Ji's pretended face, Guan Mingming is a really gentle person.

Based on what she saw alone, she felt that Song Sihan and Guan Mingming were compatible in character.But being in love is more complicated than ordinary dating. As an outsider, she doesn't know why they broke up.Just thinking about this, Guan Mingming suddenly mentioned Song Sihan.

"Manager Cheng, are you still in touch with Song Sihan?"

"Yes, our school is in the south. It's very rare to have an acquaintance when you come to Jingzhou."

"In this way, it's a pity that you didn't continue to contact her after she graduated." Guan Mingming smiled at her, "I've known her for more than two years, and I also know that she has a few classmates who are developing in Jingzhou, but there is nothing special about her. We are close friends. You should have hit it off when you were in college, and if you can keep in touch, you should have a good relationship now."

"Maybe." Cheng Ji pursed his lips and smiled, not wanting to make up a lie to Guan Mingming, so he answered briefly.

She could see Guan Mingming's nostalgia for Song Sihan.Guan Mingming has seen her go shopping with Lou Jingxian and Song Yan, but never asked her if she knew the truth, maybe she didn't care, and just wanted to find someone to talk to; the content of the conversation was mostly small talk, and occasionally when Song Sihan's name was mentioned, The sentences are very restrained, with hesitation in his eyes, he feels that this is not good.

Cheng Ji also thinks that this kind of repeated recall is not good, it slows down the process of coming out, and it is a kind of chronic injury to himself.

Next, he concentrated his time on meeting with several clients. Cheng Ji allocated his time and devoted himself to preparing Huayue's cooperation projects.The time is tight this time, but because the event venue is small, the difficulty of preparation is much lower than last time.After more than a week of busy work, Huayue Electric and Miji Culture's second cooperative offline event "The Warmth of the World" opened.

The "Warmth in the World" event venue is in the atrium on the first floor of a mid-range shopping mall, with an excellent location.Huayue's new handheld vacuum cleaner has a stylish and light appearance and is priced at more than 4000 yuan, which matches the consumption level of shopping malls.The opening hours are from February [-]st to [-]th, including the Spring Festival holiday this year - from New Year's Eve on February [-]th to the sixth day of February [-]th.Although you have to go to work from February [-]st to [-]rd, the holiday is approaching, and people who work from [-] to [-] have already floated their minds; non-office workers are actively shopping to release pressure at the end of the year; students are also on vacation and have sex appointments.On the first day of opening, it was very lively.

Cheng Ji was on site all day.She hasn't communicated much with Mi Ping recently, and Mi Ping didn't say she would come today, so she probably hasn't figured it out yet.Cheng Ji and Song Sihan didn't have time to contact either, they just sent a message in the group today, asking Song Sihan and the others to come and see, Lou Jingxian is not free today, Song Sihan and Song Yan agreed to come together after get off work.

In the afternoon, Cheng Ji and the staff at the scene ate lunch together. At 06:30, Song Sihan and Song Yan drove back and forth.Seeing the two people walking towards this side from the elevator from a distance, Cheng Ji couldn't help but smile on his face, and he hadn't seen him for several days.Song Sihan had never seen this coat before, nor had he seen the bag before, both of them were beautiful.

When we got to the distance where we could see each other's expressions, Cheng Ji saw Song Sihan's smile, which was bright and showed his teeth.Song Sihan pulled his hand out of his pocket, raised it, waved it, then hung it by his side, and approached her.

It was getting closer and closer, and suddenly the background was completely blurred.Cheng Ji's smile gradually faded, and the image of her standing at the school gate waiting for Song Sihan to approach her was recalled in her mind a few years ago.Why didn't she take the initiative to go over?She thought this way in a daze, but at the moment she was also stumbled by guilt, and just stood there.

Thanks for a half-section of mine!

☆, present continuous tense (24)

The crowd kept coming and going, talking and laughing were pulled away, and the trajectory of Song Sihan's approach was a straight line extending to Cheng Ji's heart.The steps touched Cheng Ji's heart, slightly but hard to ignore.

Thumping, beating as usual.After listening to it several times, I realized that there was a voice: ping ping, ping ping, Song Sihan.

"Hi." Song Sihan greeted with a smile.

Cheng Ji smiled and asked, "Is the road blocked?"

"I'm stuck. There are so many cars in Jingzhou. At this time, I doubt my decision to buy a car with a loan." Song Yan replied.

Cheng Ji's face turned to her: "It's more comfortable to go out in winter and summer with a car."

Song Yan: "Yeah, it's really cold outside in winter, and the shopping mall saved my life. The activity you held this time has more participation than last time, and the location is really good. Do you still give small gifts this time?"

Cheng Ji shook his head: "The area is too small, there are no conditions."

Song Yan remained enthusiastic and said, "Let's talk, I'll go and line up."

Song Sihan walked up to Cheng Ji and looked at the people in line together.

"The Warmth of the World" encloses a place in the atrium, and builds three closed huts conjoined.The pattern on the four sides is a manga-style low fence. Flowers bloom unintentionally on the wall, and the flowers and leaves are gathered together in small pieces; the pattern on the ground is a grass field with a layer of yellow leaves. The grass is very dense, and the grass exposed among the fallen leaves is green and lovely.

The overall appearance is in light and warm tones. On the first floor of the bustling shopping mall, people can calm down at the first glance.There were people queuing outside the doors of the three huts. These people showed no signs of anxiety, and their voices involuntarily lowered when talking to their companions. Those who came alone waited quietly and put away their mobile phones.

Cheng Ji introduced to Song Sihan: "The grounds of the three rooms are light-colored tiles, floors, and carpets, covered with colored scraps of paper and white feathers. Take off the vacuum cleaner to suck out a path, and you can see the people in front left The person who goes in can use the pen we provide to write a sentence and leave it for the next person, and then dump the debris with one click at the designated place, put the vacuum cleaner on the charging stand, and then go out.”

These contents were written in the planning case, and Song Sihan had read them all, but Cheng Ji still explained them in detail.In addition to step-by-step reminders, many suggestive elements are used in the hut to evoke warm thoughts in people's hearts and write words of self-encouragement or blessing.They also have countermeasures if the participants play a prank.

Song Sihan: "I never asked you, but you made the plan alone?"

Cheng Ji: "In general, the details have been discussed by the team."

Song Sihan: "You also came up with the name of the event, right?"

Cheng Ji: "I started it."

Song Sihan smiled and said, "The last time was dream-making, this time it's warmth. Although you don't like verbal expression, the project you're in charge of is very distinctive, and anyone with eyes can see the softness in your heart."

Cheng Ji didn't expect her to interpret it like this, looked at her slightly in surprise, and suddenly became speechless again.

Song Sihan was watched by her, and felt that these words were sensational, showing embarrassment, staggered his gaze, and explained: "Only when you have a dream in your heart can you create a dream for others, and only when your heart is warm can so many people feel warm. "

As soon as the words fell, Song Sihan looked back at Cheng Ji in a daze.

Cheng Ji held her hand.

Cheng Ji was also a little dazed.The action just now happened too quickly, without any thought, she just couldn't help shaking Song Sihan's hand.Song Sihan's palm was a little warmer than hers, and the slight temperature difference spread to her heart as soon as she held it, as if winter had ended suddenly.Her mind was blank, and when Song Sihan looked over, she realized the abruptness of her behavior and let go of her hand.

Song Sihan came to his senses, smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Cheng Ji thought, did Song Sihan understand her action just now as "thank you for your affirmation"?

Before she could decide what to say next, she heard an emotional voice interjected: "Cheng Ji, what are you doing?"

Both of them turned their heads to look.With anger on his face, Mi Ping glanced at Song Sihan, walked up to Cheng Ji, and said angrily and a little hurt: "I came to reconcile sincerely today, I really didn't expect to see you like her like this! I can't bear it anymore, Cheng Ji..."

Cheng Ji said to Song Sihan: "Go in and experience the activity."

Mi Ping stopped talking and did not stop her.

Song Sihan looked at the two of them worriedly, as if he wanted to explain, Cheng Ji said again: "It's okay, you go over." Song Sihan nodded and left.

Cheng Ji looked back at Mi Ping, his expression became very pale.Whenever it comes time to make an important decision, she is exceptionally calm.Mi Ping wanted to continue, but under Cheng Ji's gaze, she opened her mouth but said nothing.Cheng Ji only looked at her for a few seconds, and then said bluntly, "Mi Ping, don't mind my business."

Mi Ping burst into flames and no longer hesitated: "You asked me to leave you alone? We have known each other for five years, don't you feel how I treat you? I have let you go all these years, and I will never let you go this time. Old love How many pairs of resurgences have good results? They are all dragging each other apart and reuniting, and the most regret is not at the beginning. Cheng Ji, I really didn't see that you are such a messy person, what is it about that Song that you can't forget?"

Saying that, Mi Ping couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "I sincerely confess, you refused without even trying, weren't you very cold and decisive at that time? As for her, you have already tried, breaking up means that you are not suitable, why bother to turn around Grass? I have already failed and still have to jump into the pit, am I so inferior to her?"

Cheng Ji: "Say it in another place."

Mi Ping: "There's no need to change, I've finished what I've said in my heart. Cheng Ji, if you reject me because of her, I can't accept it. The person who has struggled with you for four or five years is me, and suddenly a first love appears. You are so fascinated that you don't know the north and the south, and kicked me away. I can't watch you ruin my feelings like this, and you are so cowardly that you don't say a word. "

Fortunately, the shopping mall was busy today, and the background music was full of voices. Mi Ping also kept her sense and did not attract passers-by to watch.Cheng Ji felt exhausted. Mi Ping hadn't had such a difficult time communicating with her before, and their relationship would never go back after getting emotional.She confirmed: "Are you finished?"

Mi Ping nodded seriously, waiting for her explanation.

Cheng Ji clarified: "I reject you has nothing to do with her. I reject you because I don't want to have the relationship with you now. You said that I ruined your relationship. In my opinion, you have been in the past few months. Ruin our friendship. As I said, I cherish you as a friend, so sometimes you provoke me, and I don’t want to care too much about you, but you go too far every time. You have said what you endured in your heart. Today I It’s too much to bear, and it’s all said and done.”

Mi Ping bit her lip and stared at her.

Cheng Jiyue said, but his tone became calmer and gentler: "Mi Ping, your liking is worthless to me, it is a trouble. Last time I made it very clear that we are not suitable for being a couple. First, I have no feelings for you. Second, you tend to disregard public and private affairs. When we are in a good relationship, we live in peace in the company. Have you ever thought about it, if we have conflicts or break up, can we still do things normally and work together? Miji culture is not I am also a shareholder of your own company. You are the one who has struggled with me for four or five years, don't you know what it means to me?"

Mi Ping was silent for a moment, then asked: "So you rejected me because of the company? If we were not in the same company, would you consider me? Cheng Ji, where do you put human feelings? Are you really only interested in interests? ?”

Cheng Ji thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, for me, interests come first and feelings come second."

"You are so cold-blooded." Mi Ping stabbed her.

Cheng Ji didn't say anything, Mi Ping was right.Every time she saw her face clearly, Cheng Ji felt cold from the cracks in her bones, so she liked Song Sihan's own eyes.Only Song Sihan thinks she is good, who doesn't know how those eyes grow, but sees her soft.

In fact, no matter the dream or the warmth, it is not something in her heart, it is something she does not have, so she longs for it.The person who has these is Song Sihan.

Mi Ping asked: "If Song Sihan is the person who co-founded the company with you today, wouldn't you consider her?"

"No, I will consider it." Cheng Ji asked without thinking, before Mi Ping questioned, "Mi Ping, if I want to leave the company, how much will I get?"

Mi Ping endured her anger and replied, "According to the agreement signed at the beginning, I will give you whatever percentage you take."

Cheng Ji said with a smile: "This is not 'you give me', this is what I deserve. What is more than what I deserve is 'give me'."

Mi Ping was very unconvinced, and couldn't find anything to refute, so she responded, "Slip of tongue."

Cheng Ji didn't want to argue with her anymore, and went on to say: "If I were me, I would do the same. We are the same person. Song Sihan is different from you and me. If I break up with her, I don't have to. Leave the company; if someone has to leave, she will take the initiative and leave me what belongs to her."

"If she really does this, she's a fool!" Mi Ping said angrily, "Do you really believe such words? It's just rhetoric without any guarantee. When things come to an end, see if she can do it. Also, you say I There is no distinction between public and private, that's what she calls public and private!"

Mi Ping didn't understand what she meant by giving this example, Cheng Ji hesitated for a while, and didn't intend to make it clearer. To put it bluntly, they are coming to an end today.She skipped the point and said: "She didn't say it, I believe she will do it. If she gives too much, I won't take it. I only take what I deserve, but it doesn't prevent me from being moved."

"It's because of profit." Mi Ping said with a trace of sarcasm, "If she gives you more, you should consider staying with her. If you explain it like this, then I have nothing to say. I only saw you clearly today."

Cheng Ji nodded: "OK."

Mi Ping asked, "What's the matter?"

"Okay, there is no doubt between us, and you don't care about my business in the future."

Mi Ping smiled stiffly: "What do you mean, you can't be friends?"

Cheng Ji replied: "You can do it. But as a friend, you shouldn't care too much."

Mi Ping's expression was blank for a few seconds, and the corner of her mouth was pulled, but she couldn't say a word, and left without saying goodbye.

Cheng Ji didn't look at her back.She knew that Mi Ping was very angry and sad, but she didn't feel anything in her heart.She has been prepared for this day, and she is also prepared for the changes that will happen in the future and the worst outcome.

After experiencing the activity, Song Sihan and Song Yan, who had been standing not far away for a long time, walked over together.Cheng Ji opened the corner of his mouth and smiled at them.She likes to be prepared for bad things, but not for good things. She earns a little more, so she will never be disappointed.

Song Sihan only gave her hope.

☆, present continuous tense (25)

Before, the festive reunion of the Chinese New Year had nothing to do with Cheng Ji.Entering university, being with Song Sihan, Chinese New Year is like being in a different place.After breaking up with Song Sihan, the New Year has no meaning.

At the end of the new year, there are always media discussions about the fading taste of the new year, but Cheng Ji has never felt much about the new year.This year's "Warmth in the World" event spanned the Chinese New Year holidays, and the effect of those few days was hard to predict. She planned to come and see it every day.Song Sihan asked her how the Chinese New Year was out of date this year, and Cheng Ji told the truth. Seeing that Song Sihan hesitated to speak, she realized that what Song Sihan asked might not mean that.

Song Yan had already left, and they were sitting in the chocolate dessert shop under the shopping mall.Cheng Ji said: "I don't have any relatives, so I don't have to worry about living alone. It's the same as usual. What about you, live in Jingzhou or go out for a trip?"

"Stay in Jingzhou." Song Sihan hesitated, and asked, "Do you want to come to my house during the Chinese New Year? My parents are very enthusiastic. I will definitely welcome my friends."

Cheng Ji carefully looked at Song Sihan's eyes to see if there was any meaning she thought too much.Maybe not.This is an invitation based on friendship.She shook her head and said, "No. I don't want to disturb your family reunion."

Song Sihan didn't feel disappointed, and didn't try to persuade her much, so he nodded.

Seeing her always calm and peaceful face, Cheng Ji felt an itch in his heart, and said involuntarily, "I will look for you during the Chinese New Year."

"Huh? Come to the event site together?" Song Sihan's guess fits Cheng Ji's love of learning and work.

"No, if you're free, let's play together..." Play?The two of them have nothing to play with now, Cheng Ji got stuck and stopped thinking.

"Would you like to go shopping? Okay." Song Sihan agreed before she could think of a speech.

Cheng Ji nodded and took a bite of the thousand-layer black cake.Song Sihan ate the chocolate tiramisu, and said after a while: "Do you like the taste of this restaurant? The white chocolate Swiss roll here is also good, you can try it next time."

Cheng Ji realized that the thousand-layer cake was almost eaten by himself, and agreed: "I will pack one when I leave."

Song Sihan smiled and said, "You should eat more, you don't have to worry about getting fat from sweets with this body."

Cheng Ji looked down at herself, she was not too thin, she didn't care about the weight change, and didn't remember it carefully.She looked up at Song Sihan again, her winter clothes were thick, she couldn't tell if she was fat or thin: "You are about the same as me."

"Thank you." Song Sihan smiled.

no.Cheng Ji felt itchy when he saw her smile.She got up and said, "I'm going to order a cup of black tea." Cheng Ji walked to the counter and let out a sigh, a little disgusted with her self-control, thinking that she needed to consciously keep a little distance from Song Sihan.

When returning home, Cheng Ji took the packed cake and got into Song Sihan's car.

Cheng Ji: "..."

Song Sihan didn't talk much while driving, so he tuned a radio station to listen to music, and the navigation suggested a turn or go straight from time to time, interspersed with the radio song: "If there is wind outside the window at this time, I will have a reason to fly—"

When we were approaching, we were walking on small roads, there were no cars, some electric cars or pedestrians were walking around, Song Sihan drove slowly, and asked Cheng Ji casually: "Do you have a driver's license?"

"No, I didn't have time before, but I didn't need it when I came to Jingzhou. The subway and walking are enough."

Song Sihan smiled: "You eat less, and you walk and exercise every day, no wonder you don't gain weight."

Cheng Ji smiled helplessly, feeling that Song Sihan paid too much attention to her weight, which was unreasonable: "Do you think that if I am thin, it means life is hard, and if I am fat, life is good?"

"I have this kind of thought. When I saw you, I couldn't help but wonder if you didn't take good care of yourself. You weren't so thin back then." Song Sihan muttered like a parent, turned a corner, and the navigation prompt had reached the goal near the ground, "Is this community, can I drive in?"

"It's here. The road inside is narrow and it's hard to drive. Please park outside." Cheng Ji said.Fortunately, Song Sihan didn't look at her at the moment, she was able to control her voice without making waves, and she couldn't hide her feeling when she heard that mumbling.

Song Sihan stopped the car, turned around and said, "Tell me when you get home."

The closed compartment is very warm, making people reluctant to leave.Cheng Ji squeezed his palm, looked deeply at Song Sihan's face, then lowered his head and unbuttoned his seat belt as if nothing had happened, and said, "I'm leaving, goodbye."

She got out of the car and closed the door, and saw that the passenger window was slowly lowered, and Song Sihan was sitting inside looking at her.She walked into the community, turned her head and waved to Song Sihan, who also smiled and waved, before raising the window and driving away.Cheng Ji walked home slowly, sat on the sofa, and still thought of Song Sihan's face in his mind.

As soon as she understood her desire, admitted that she would still be attracted to Song Sihan, thinking of this person again, and seeing this person again, all cast voices in her empty heart.

At the beginning, it was clear that it was "what virtue and ability", "you are not worthy", and "don't think too much".Gradually there are more voices, mixed in with "she's beautiful", "what is she doing", "what does she think of me".Afterwards, it became too chaotic to hear clearly, buzzing, and it all became a noise, only the word "like" was still clear and stood out.

This time, just showing a corner of her liking, she already realized that it was a new heartbeat that was more honest than the last time, not connected with the past, but wrapped in the majestic power of time.Ready to go, I don't know when it will pounce on me fiercely.

The company continued to work for the next two days, and Cheng Ji did not look for Song Sihan.On the morning of New Year's Eve, she came to the shopping mall to watch the activities as originally planned. Many people working in Jingzhou have gone home, and Mi Ping has also returned to the south.There were two local employees, a man and a woman, who chatted together when no one was around.

Cheng Ji heard them discuss which kind of dumplings were delicious, and heard one of the female employees ask her: "Manager Cheng, what kind of dumplings do you have for dinner?"

She didn't have quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, and she didn't plan to buy them, so she just replied with one: "Pork with cabbage."

Female employee: "I also like pork with cabbage."

"Really, that's a coincidence." Cheng Ji said with a smile, "I have worked hard this year, so I should eat more at night."

The female employee replied that Manager Cheng was also working hard, and he never forgot the project during the holiday.She gets three times the salary, but Cheng Ji doesn't have this money, it's purely voluntary.

Cheng Ji stayed in the mall until noon, when Song Sihan called and asked, "Haven't you bought the blessing characters and couplets? I have a lot at home. I'm fine this afternoon. I'll send you a couplet and two blessing characters?"

Give love and warmth?Cheng Ji didn't want to accept it, so he proposed instead: "If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, please go shopping with me."

Song Sihan said briskly: "Okay. See you at the gate of your community at two o'clock, and I'll pick you up."

"I'm at Warmth, see you outside the two o'clock mall."

After making an appointment with the time and place, Cheng Ji began to think about what she wanted to buy and where to buy it.She has no experience in preparing New Year's goods, so she asked the female staff for advice, and when she heard about the free supplies of food and clothing, she found that there were few of them that she could really use, so she only wrote down a few supermarkets that would make them on time. a reference.Anyway, she doesn't really do shopping for it, people say reunion, if she and Song Sihan hang out together, this year will be complete.

Thinking of seeing Song Sihan in the afternoon, Cheng Ji ate all the boxed lunch with gusto, and ate up all of it.She planned to wait on the side of the road 10 minutes earlier, but she stood on the side of the road just after 01:30.There was no wind today, and it was dry and cold. Cheng Ji tucked the scarf around his neck, revealing his whole face, and held a cylinder between his elbows, which contained an orange cashmere scarf he had just bought in the mall.When choosing the color, she saw this one at a glance, and it was very similar to Song Sihan.

The road surface is empty than usual.Cheng Ji was wearing a white down jacket, thick jeans, and a plaid scarf. He stood upright and quietly beside a tree, and his breath turned white.

"Huh..." Cheng Ji deliberately blew out white air to entertain himself.When she was waiting in the shopping mall with a scarf tube between her arms, she was always tense, and when she first came out, she was restless. She frequently looked at her mobile phone, and her right hand couldn't hold the heat.After waiting for a long time, she gradually seemed to forget the time, and felt that Song Sihan's car stopped in front of her in the blink of an eye.

When she got into the car, Song Sihan asked in surprise, "Why is your face so pale from freezing? How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long." With the warm air in the car, Cheng Ji loosened the scarf around his neck a little.

Song Sihan: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Scarf, a New Year's gift for you." Cheng Ji smiled, "Thank you for coming out and shopping with me."

"What's this worth thanking, I'm fine at home, and I'm only busy at night. What else is missing at home, let's discuss where to buy it?"

There is nothing missing in Cheng Ji's house.But according to the standards of preparing for the New Year, everything is missing.She didn't want to buy too many and heavy things, which would be difficult for two people to carry, and she didn't plan to buy something useless for the New Year to take up space. Thinking that Song Sihan thought she was skinny, she said, "Let's buy some snacks."

"Yes, we can't eat less, then let's go to the supermarket first."

The address prepared by Cheng Ji was useless. When it came to shopping, Song Sihan was more experienced than her, so he asked her if there was nothing to specify, and made up his own mind for her.When he arrived at the supermarket, Cheng Ji pushed a shopping cart, and heard Song Sihan recalling the New Year's scene when he was a child. At that time, the family had to prepare pork, mutton, chicken, duck and frozen fish, which made the house full of fragrance. He also talked about going to grandparents' house How much lucky money did you collect for New Year's greetings, and what did you buy?

The two shuttled between the shelves of the supermarket. Song Sihan was talking, and saw some delicious snacks on the shelf, picked it up and asked her, "Do you want this?" Cheng Ji nodded, and Song Sihan put it in the cart.

When Cheng Ji was still in the Cheng family, he also had lucky money and new clothes every year. Although the Cheng family's dinner table was usually very rich, some rare and precious ingredients could be seen during the New Year's Eve dinner.In the early years, fireworks and firecrackers were not banned. The Cheng family set off fireworks in the yard, and the servants would remind her to go out to watch them, which can be called preferential treatment.After listening to Song Sihan talk about this, she felt that Chinese New Year is really interesting.Those preparations that were impractical in her eyes seemed to become meaningful because of the participation of the whole family.

"It's very different now than before." Song Sihan said with emotion, "You don't need to prepare things by yourself, you buy ready-made ones, and you only make dumplings yourself. How do you eat at night?"

"Quick-frozen dumplings." Cheng Ji decided to buy a box near home at night.

Just in the fresh food section, Song Sihan said, "There are ready-made dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings, so it's easy to buy and make your own. Do you know how to make dumplings?"

Cheng Ji thought for a moment: "Yes." There are tutorials on the Internet.

Song Sihan looked at the time: "It's still early, I'll pack it with you, pack more bags and put them in the quick freezer, and take one bag when you eat."

"...Okay." Cheng Ji finally accepted Song Sihan's offer of love and warmth.

There are many white-collar tenants like Cheng Ji living in the community. Some of them have bought cars after working for several years, and they drove home early this morning to celebrate the New Year. The parking spaces downstairs are all empty.

Song Sihan parked the car nearby, and the two went upstairs with two bags each from the trunk.The light in the corridor is not good, and there are many small advertisements posted and written in the elevator.Neither of them spoke, they went up silently with the elevator.

After getting out of the elevator, Cheng Ji led the way.The corridor was a little narrow, and Song Sihan walked behind her, as if the sound of her footsteps was amplified, Cheng Ji felt that her back was completely surrounded, and something was about to overwhelm her from behind.She calmly and silently walked to the door of the house, opened the door, and glanced inside. The familiar space made her feel relieved.

It's okay, adapt to the circumstances.

She walked into the entrance, turned around and smiled at Song Sihan: "Please come in."

The two put down their things and put on cotton mops.Cheng Ji turned on the TV and let Song Sihan sit on the sofa for a while, then went to the kitchen to boil hot water and wash the cups.The house is small, but the living room is large, which means that the living room is adjacent to each room. Cheng Ji heard the sound of the TV decrease, and then Song Sihan's voice came clearly: "Your room is well furnished, the decorations, the paintings They are all unique, and the colors are matched with art. My house has never been changed since I moved in. Compared with yours, it looks like a model house."

Cheng Ji smiled and didn't answer, and there was no sound coming from the living room.She went out with a water glass on a wooden tray, and saw Song Sihan sitting upright, looking up at the shelf on the opposite wall.There were four identical white cat dolls on it.

Cheng Ji looked at her expression and asked, "Do you still remember?"

Song Sihan nodded and smiled and said, "I may not remember seeing one, but I will definitely remember four."

"I kept them in the past, and there was no suitable place for them in the last rented house. When I moved here, I saw that the shelves were just the right size." Cheng Ji said, "The kitchen is too small. Wait until I clean the coffee table. , we pack in the living room."

"I'll help you." Song Sihan stood up.

"No, you are a guest, I can't let you do everything."

Song Sihan sat down obediently, watched her remove the vases and decorations from the coffee table, and watched her clean the coffee table, her body tilted slightly as she moved, a little restless, maintaining the state of being able to get up and work at any time, making Cheng Ji felt that not letting her help would be torturing her instead.When the cutting board was placed on the tea table, the dumpling wrappers and fillings were taken out, and the two of them washed their hands, Song Sihan finally sat down with peace of mind.

Four boxes of dumpling fillings, pork with cabbage, pork with shepherd's purse, mackerel, and shrimp. One box can hold [-] dumplings, and the number of dumpling skins is just right.

Cheng Ji sat next to her and looked at her bag first.There are real people teaching, no need to find tutorials online.Song Sihan's hands are very nimble, but he is not fast at making dumplings. It can be seen that he is not a person who is good at cooking.Cheng Ji saw how many bags she had wrapped, so he did it himself.

They looked serious and serious, and they treated dumpling making as a serious job. No one cared about what was broadcast on TV, and the atmosphere was like a folk dumpling making competition.Although Cheng Ji was inexperienced, he learned quickly. Later, his speed was about the same as Song Sihan's, and his shape was also similar. It was hard to tell who made it when he put them together.

However, Cheng Ji completely followed Song Sihan's example, and Song Sihan was probably afraid that she would not have enough to eat, so the dumplings were filled with more stuffing. In the end, seeing that there were too many skins and little stuffing, Song Sihan stopped and thought for a while: "The rest Wrap it into small wontons."

Cheng Jiqin asked, "How to pack?"

Song Sihan: "Just put a little stuffing and pinch it casually...the shape is not important, our goal is to use up the skin and stuffing at the same time."

She demonstrated a few, and Cheng Ji really saw that the shape is not important, each one looks different.It seems that Song Sihan didn't pack any small wontons, Cheng Ji didn't ask any more questions, and understood the free play of spirit.

The process is a bit rough, but the result is gratifying.The goal set by Song Sihan has been fulfilled, and all the materials have been used up, at least to ensure that Cheng Ji will not be hungry for two or three days during the Chinese New Year.

Cheng Ji's family does not have a quick-frozen dumpling box. In order to prevent the wrapped dumplings from sticking together, they have to be placed on a plate and frozen in the freezer for a while before bagging.Although the kitchen is small, the hardware of the refrigerator has not cut corners. The capacity of more than 200 liters is still three doors.
