I put out the second cigarette and sighed in the smoke in the room.
The next morning, I came to work on time because I had no place to go, and I felt like I was homeless.
When I walked into the office, I found that Lao Zhou's desk was empty, and he did not show up in the office until the end of the morning.
This guy must have been overjoyed last night.
I looked at his empty seat and thought so, but my right hand accidentally encountered something hard.
I took out the thing from my pocket, and it was the blue medicine that Lao Zhou gave me last night.
In the end, I still didn't use this thing.
I threw the medicine into my bag.
This thing is not suitable for staying in the office, so I can only be disposed of on my way home tonight.
It was only during my lunch break that I saw Old Zhou coming late.
His face was not particularly good-looking, but he was in good spirits.
How about it, Lao Ma, how many times did you have Ah last night?
I didn't want to pay attention to him, but after all, he arranged everything last night and had to say briefly: twice.
Alas, just twice?You won't be so useless, right?The medicine I gave you is imported from original and is very useful. I did Ah four times last night.
I looked at him helplessly and said, "You can't whisper?"This is in the unit, not a nightclub.
Sorry, sorry, I'll pay attention.
Lao Zhou also realized that his voice was too loud and lowered his voice and said: Why did you only Ah twice?My medicine is not easy to use?
I remember you and I will give you this back.
I took out the small pill that I had just wanted to deal with and threw it to Lao Zhou.
Alas, you are useless?Old Zhou looked surprised: This is a good thing.
I said helplessly: It's useless.
Is it useless to do Ah twice?Tsk tsk, your body is different, it’s as hard as it doesn’t take medicine.Old Zhou looked shocked.
I didn't want to discuss too much with him about what happened last night, so I changed the topic and said: By the way, Mr. Chen's matter has been decided this time, right?
Old Zhou was stunned for a moment and said: It’s settled. This old fox has been dragging it for so long. We have done everything in every aspect. It’s impossible for him to drag it any longer.
That's good.
I replied, no need to deal with that Mr. Chen anymore, which also means that I will not have the opportunity to go to KTV and bring the lady to the launch in the future.
What, what are you thinking?
Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Lao Zhou asked in confusion.
Nothing, why do you ask me what I want?I shrugged and asked curiously.
Don't worry, I will definitely call you next time I have the chance, otherwise how about we go by ourselves another day?Anyway, we have contributed to the national GDP.
I ignored Lao Zhou's misunderstanding and said: You haven't left yet, what a bachelor?Also, it will be better to do less of such things in the future, and it will not have a good impact if it is spread.You still have a son, what do you want him to think of you?
What are you afraid of? Men are like this? How many people don’t gamble or prostitute? I don’t gamble. What’s so strange about relaxing?
Lao Zhou’s fallacies are all in one set.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and threw the little pill to me again.
What are you doing for me?I said a little unhappy: I don’t need this thing.
Don't say that, just keep it for later, I'll give it to you next time.Old Zhou said with a frown at me.
I don't need it.
I wanted to return it to Lao Zhou, but he stopped me: Don’t say that, maybe I will use it at any time.
I couldn't resist Lao Zhou, so I had to put the pills back in my bag.
Lao Zhou didn't stay in the unit for long. After lunch break, he slipped back and said he wanted to make up for his sleep.
In fact, the purpose of my visit was to see if I had come. Once I confirmed that I was there and there was someone to take care of her work, he would go back to bed with confidence.
I have known this for a long time, but I am not unwilling to do so. Originally, Lao Zhou and I were divided into two parts of the work outside and inside. The work I did was all about the internal affairs. It was hard to say, and it happened that I had not started classes, so it was okay to help him handle things.
Because I came too early in the morning and Lao Zhou didn’t have much work today, I fell into nothing after 3 pm.
Usually at this time, I would turn on the computer to watch the news, or use my mobile phone to chat with Tian Amateur and others, but today I don’t want to choose the following options. After turning on the computer, I would also be all kinds of gossip news about divorce and sleeping in the entertainment industry, which makes people feel annoying.
I turned off the computer and prepared to play a few mahjong and pass the time.
My daughter-in-law once downloaded a game of playing mahjong on my phone. I played it a few times and then forgot it.
Now that I think about it, I can just pass the boring time before get off work.
But just as I took out my phone and was about to open the game, a number that surprised me suddenly popped up on the screen of my phone.
I looked at the name, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.
Hello, dad.
The caller was my son, Ma Qiang.
I calmed down and made my tone look natural as much as possible, and then replied: Qiangzi Ah, why did you call me Ah?
That's it, dad.
Qiangzi on the other side of the phone was a little hesitant, but I had guessed what he was going to say.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, he still said what I expected: Yueyue and I had a fight.
Although I already know the whole story of the quarrel, I still asked patiently: Why are you quarreling?Did you do something that is sorry for her?
It's that...it's me, it's mine.
Qiangzi still maintained his wife and my daughter-in-law as always.
He did not continue to talk about the reason for the quarrel, and I, who had known the reason for a long time, naturally did not continue to ask.
Then, Qiangzi suddenly said: Dad, I want to ask you to persuade Yueyue for me.
This is a request that surprised me.
The night before yesterday, although I mentioned to my daughter-in-law that I would take the initiative to talk to Qiangzi, I was tortured by the incident of seeing my daughter-in-law in the toilet all day yesterday, and then followed Lao Zhou to socialize at night, but I forgot about talking to Qiangzi.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t go to find Qiangzi, but Qiangzi came to me first, and what he said was the same.
Qiangzi on the other side of the phone continued: It's such a dad. Today is the second anniversary of Yueyue and I, but I was suddenly arranged to go on a business trip. It's very important. I have to follow me and leave today. I have bought a gift, but I can't accompany her. She was angry with me because of the previous incident, so I want to give you the gift and ask you to hand it over to her for me, and help me comfort her.
I thought about it and agreed: OK, I understand, I can help you, but I also told you guys that Ah, this time, I will not be the case. If I want to let me know that if you make Yueyue unhappy, I will definitely not be able to forgive you.
Qiangzi naturally agreed and made an appointment with me to go to his unit to find him to get gifts.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Qiangzi's name on the call record and was a little stunning.
Qiangzi is indeed a good person with a good personality, but he seems to be a little sorry for Yueyue inside and outside. In the past, his daughter-in-law should have no reason to lie to me about the Chinese medicine incident.
Although the reason for that incident was Qiangzi's urging of his daughter-in-law to have a child, the main reason for the couple's quarrel was indeed the daughter-in-law.
Maybe it’s because I’m his father that Qiangzi is not good for me to mention this matter to me.
But I also feel that even if Qiangzi and I made it clear directly, he would not say bad things to me about my daughter-in-law.
This cannot be said to be any inference, it is just an intuition, an intuition that comes from my understanding of the character of a hasty.
In the afternoon, I got off work for a while early, drove to the door of Qiangzi's unit not far away, and took the packaged gift box from him.
Qiangzi, it would be better if you hand it over to him yourself, right?Or it's nothing to be late, right?
As I said this, Qiangzi did not agree. He shook his head and said: I have been on a business trip this time for quite a long time, and I’m afraid it’s too late to come back. Since I have to miss it all, I might as well ask Dad, you can help me pass it over and send it out as soon as possible.
I was speechless and could only agree with his statement.
Then Qiangzi picked up a suitcase and looked like he was about to set off.
What, are you leaving now?Have your luggage packed?I was stunned and asked: Are you so anxious?
Well, let's go now, the plane is at 9pm.
Qiangzi said, pointing to his luggage. I have been living in the workplace these days, and I just don’t have to go home to pack my luggage, which is much more convenient.
Well, wait, I remember that night, didn’t my daughter-in-law tell me that Qiangzi would go home the next day?
I had doubts, but it was difficult to ask questions in person, so I indirectly said: Have you told Yueyue about your business trip?
I told me that she also told me to be careful on the way.
Qiangzi's expression was very plain, and I couldn't see anything unusual.
Now that things have come to this point, I have nothing to say, so I have to drive him to the airport gate in person.
Go back early, dad.
Watching Qiangzi's back disappear into the crowd at the airport, I returned to the car and hesitated for a while, but decided to go back to see Yueyue in person to ask about the situation.
Qiangzi probably won't lie to me, he has no reason to lie to me.
And judging from his appearance, he has indeed lived in the workplace in the past few days. It is also suitable for asking me to give gifts and make peace for him.
But why did my daughter-in-law lie to me?
Could it be that Qiangzi did send her such a text message, but in fact he didn't go home the next day?
After thinking about it, I can only think of such a more reasonable answer.
But I still have to find my daughter-in-law and ask her everything to make me feel at ease.
Besides, there were gifts entrusted by Qiangzi in my car. Tonight is their anniversary, and I also have a reasonable reason to face my daughter-in-law in the evening.
In this way, in the midst of busyness and hesitation, I spent another day, and it was evening.
While downstairs, I called my daughter-in-law, but no one answered her.
I was thinking about buying something, but I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to come towards me, and there was a man next to her, about forty years old, and the two of them were talking and laughing!
I was angry in an instant and said anxiously: Yueyue!
In an instant, the daughter-in-law's face changed.
I looked at her, my daughter-in-law, pointed at the man beside her, and said in a deep voice: Yueyue, who is the man beside you?
My daughter-in-law turned her head and didn't look at me in the eyes.
Yueyue!
I shouted loudly, and as I spoke, the man also said in surprise: Who are you?
The daughter-in-law finally spoke. She lowered her head and whispered: He...he is...
I couldn't help but pull her away, rushed over, ready to give this old guy.
dad!
My daughter-in-law followed me and shouted. Before I could rush over, Yueyue had already hugged my waist from behind to stop me from taking further action.
It seemed that the old man who heard his daughter-in-law’s name to me, and the shocked look on his face suddenly paused, and then I heard him shout: Eh?He isn't your husband Ah?
I glared at him, scared him so much that he jumped all over and shrank back, and turned to break his daughter-in-law's hand.
Yueyue, let go of me!
No, Dad, please let him go, I beg you!
My daughter-in-law stopped me desperately. This situation made the old man relax and looked at me with a provocative look on his face.
I looked at him with a provocative look, and a flame rushed straight to the top of my head, kicking the debris placed beside him and hitting him.
Alas, hey, if you have something to say, don’t throw things Ah!
The old man made a woman-like scream, and I pointed at him and roared.
Get out of here!
Seeing my angry look, the old man didn't care about getting angry. After glanced at me fiercely, he rolled and crawled away.
When he ran, he didn't forget to look back at his daughter-in-law's figure, but after I glared at him, he had to hold his head and run away.
Fortunately, there were no people around, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
But I still couldn't calm down my anger.
How can I calm down?
When I thought about it just now, my daughter-in-law was talking and laughing with the old man, a fire in my heart was burning me to burst out...
The next morning, I came to work on time because I had no place to go, and I felt like I was homeless.
When I walked into the office, I found that Lao Zhou's desk was empty, and he did not show up in the office until the end of the morning.
