Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 26 Crying
After Jiang You carefully entrusted him with the task, Guan Nuo felt a little more at ease.
Sun Yu looked at him and said, "It's almost time to get off work today. Can you come to complete the formalities tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, what time in the morning?"
"Before eleven."
"OK."
Sun Yu asked Tang Butian for instructions: "I will apply to the Administrative Equipment Department for another desk and some computer equipment..."
"I'll coordinate to move to a bigger office," said Tang Butian.
"Is there enough space for the four of us?" Sun Yu added, looking at Tang Butian's expression, "And most of the time, I'm the only one in the office."
Tang Butian's eyes fell on the cat litter box under the window, "I don't want to share a room with the cat litter box."
"It will be bigger, and we will set aside a room for Zhaocai to put a cat climbing frame, cat food and cat litter in it. This way, it will look better when visitors come in the future." Jiang You lifted up Zhaocai's tail. "It looks like a colon, right? Do you want to get it neutered?"
"What should we do now?" Guan Nuo asked.
Jiang You and Sun Yu turned to look at Tang Butian, waiting for her answer.
"We have recruited all the people."
"It's rare that we're all here together, why don't we have a meal together?" Jiang You suggested, looking sideways at Sun Yu, "I don't come to Ning'an District very often, which restaurant around here is good?"
"There is a restaurant that serves good Northwestern cuisine, and we often go there for gatherings at the bureau."
"Let's go there, Guan Nuo, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Guan Nuo, who was named, shook his head and said, "No, no."
"Let's go." Tang Butian said, she picked up her coat and put it on.
Jiang You looked at Zhao Cai and asked, "Are you going?"
Then he let go of the hand that was holding Zhaocai.
The recruiter, who had gained his freedom, jumped onto the desk, then onto the filing cabinet, and started to work.
Jiang You sighed regretfully, "Then next time I come, I'll bring you a can of cat food."
He stood up and said, "You guys go ahead, I'm going to the bathroom, let's meet downstairs."
The bathroom was next to the stairs. When Jiang You walked out, he saw Tang Butian leaning against the wall of the corridor not far away.
Jiang You walked to her side and they both walked towards the elevator.
"That Guan Nuo is quite interesting." Jiang You commented.
"stupid."
"Not stupid."
They stopped in front of the elevator door, and Jiang You reached out and pressed the downstairs button.
"He probably thinks Zhuang Zekun is a good guy," he took out a candy box from his bag, opened it and asked Tang Butian, "Do you want some?"
Tang Butian stretched out his left hand, palm facing up.
Jiang You poured two into her hand and ate two himself, "I really can't sit still."
Tang Butian put the candy in her mouth and said, "I haven't lost weight."
"I'm waiting for you to get me that elixir that can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons."
"oh."
The elevator arrived, the doors opened and they stepped inside.
"Zhuang Zekun said that he would give me what I deserve."
"Not bad."
"When will Jiang Mo be free?"
"Healed?"
"alright."
The elevator reached the first floor, and after the door opened, Jiang You said, "Wait a while, until Zhuang Zekun leaves. I always feel a little uneasy when he's in Tangjiang."
"Why?"
They walked out of the Public Security Bureau lobby, and Sun Yu and Guan Nuo stood in the open space in front of the building.
"I'm worried that something might happen that would affect my peaceful life."
They walked over to Sun Woo and Guan Nuo.
"It takes about fifteen minutes to walk there," Sun Yu said.
"You lead the way, we'll follow you." Jiang You took a step forward and the others followed.
Four hours later.
Guan Nuo returned home and after talking to his parents for a few words, he went back to his room.
Lie down.
He felt a little groggy.
During dinner, Jiang You and Sun Yu were mostly talking. They would occasionally ask him something. Tang Butian sat opposite him. The waiter gave her a hair tie. When she tied her hair up, her white fingers were intertwined in her black hair...
I remembered the divination he had told on the arch bridge today.
There is water on the mountain, which means it is difficult to walk; a gentleman should reflect on himself and cultivate his virtue.
Suddenly he heard the sound of water again.
At the same time, Jiang You also arrived at Wenhua Street. After getting off the taxi, he glanced at the crescent moon hanging in the sky.
The moonlight is cold.
Slowly walk back to the bug house.
There were few people on the street
When he walked to No. 42, he saw a man standing at the gate of the yard. It was Zhuang Zekun.
"Senior Zhuang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit down?"
Jiang You took out the key from his bag, opened the door to the yard and walked in.
Walk along the bluestone road, go up the steps, and open the store door.
Zhuang Zekun followed him in.
Jiang You turned on the light and said, "I'm going upstairs. Please sit for a while."
After Jiang You went upstairs, Zhuang Zekun walked around the store.
He walked to the long table and looked at the colored pencils that covered half of the table. He picked up the colorful sketch paper on the table and looked at it carefully.
After five or six minutes, Jiang swam down.
He asked, "Tea or coffee?"
"Clear water."
Jiang You walked into the kitchen, and two minutes later, he brought out two cups of hot water.
He put the water cup on the long table, pushed the colored pencils aside, pulled a chair and sat down, then he said, "This is my son's drawing. Isn't it pretty good?"
"Jiang Mo?" Zhuang Zekun had obviously investigated Jiang You.
"Yes." Jiang You took a sip of water .
"Where is he now?"
"I fell asleep. I slept soundly."
"It's not good for a six-year-old child to be alone at home, right?"
"I was going to take him out, but he cried and refused to go. I thought it was so cold outside, so it would be better to stay at home to avoid catching a cold," Jiang You folded his hands on the long table, "Are you done with your work?"
"Not yet," Zhuang Zekun looked at Jiang You, "It's hard to raise a child alone, right?"
"good."
“Are you Jiang You?”
"Yeah," Jiang You couldn't help but yawn. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Senior Zhuang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I have to run a store, go to work, and take care of the kids. I'm exhausted every day. I really don't have time to guess riddles."
Jiang You put on his glasses again and said, "If you can't find anyone to chat with, Master Hongzhen of the Jinguang Temple next door has wonderful Buddhist teachings..."
"The changes in Teke started when Tang Butian met you."
"Is it?"
"I want to confirm what kind of person you are."
Jiang You thought about it and said, "A good person."
"I hope so," Zhuang Zekun stood up, "I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Jiang You did not stand up to see him off. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his bag and lit it. Through the smoke, he watched Zhuang Zekun's figure gradually blend into the darkness.
"You can't eat it." He took a puff of his cigarette.
Jiang Mo walked into the store from outside, holding a pink Lego unicorn in his hand.
The gate to the yard slammed shut.
"He will give Tang Butian resources, which should be more than the first place. Next time Tang Butian comes to fight you, play with her more and make her pay more tuition. Got it?"
