The road is long, take it and cherish it

Chapter 42 Holding the Son’s Hand Part [-]

May 5, Tuesday, morning, nine o'clock.

Hou Yue was still sleeping in a daze, when the phone he placed beside the bed suddenly rang.

The noisy ringing suddenly woke up Hou Yue, who was half asleep.

He weakly reached out to pick up the phone and looked at 661. He suddenly became more energetic. He tried to get up and leaned on the bedside, and then he connected the phone.

He said cautiously: "Hello? Dad, what do you want from me?"

On the other end of the phone, Hou Yue's father, Hou Zhengzhi, said in a majestic voice: "Oh, it's okay. You should be at work now. As I told you before, isn't your cousin getting married? You come here to be the best man, why don't you take a day off today, buy a ticket, and come over before the afternoon, their wedding is tomorrow, so if you come over in the afternoon, they may have to rehearse in advance."

Hou Yue thought for a moment and said, "Oh oh oh, I remembered, it was so fast. I thought it would take a few more days. I'll buy a ticket right away. I'll definitely be there before dinner. By the way, dad, you and mom Will you come back to attend his wedding too?"

Hou Zhengzhi said: "Well, we will come too. By the way, I transferred some money to you. You can buy a suit and a watch. Men also have to dress themselves up. So if there's nothing else, let's leave it at that."

After hanging up the phone, Hou Yue leaned on the bedside. He opened WeChat and saw a transfer of 1 yuan. He had mixed feelings in his heart. In this world, only his parents' money is the best to earn.

But in fact, these are all unresolved feelings.

He thought for a while and accepted the money. He got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, got dressed, and clicked on the high-speed rail butler. After looking at it, he saw that there were quite a lot of tickets for the return trip today, and he still had some things to implement.

Finally, he bought a ticket for three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived home around 6:[-].

Hou Yue first went to a breakfast shop outside and ate a few steamed buns.

Then, I came to the store unhurriedly, and once again came to this familiar place.

At this moment, there was a strange feeling. He thought about it and walked in as usual.

It was already past 10 o'clock at this time, and the front desk was full of people as always.

They were chattering, sending messages and making phone calls to their customers, while some were hiding in the back, wearing headphones and watching short videos.

Hou Yue didn't say hello to them, he went straight to the back, the employee work area, and he immediately saw Manager Wu sitting in front of the computer with his back to him, matching houses for customers.

Hou Yue walked over with a wry smile and said, "Store manager Wu, I'm here to formally handle the resignation and pack my things."

After hearing this, Store Manager Wu put down the mouse and turned around. He looked at Hou Yue helplessly and sighed, saying: "Xiao Hou, don't you really think about it? Maybe if you persist a little longer, things will be different. Your customers I checked them all again in the morning, and although most of them are hesitant and wavering customers, it is also possible that some of them have recently taken a fancy to customers who can be confirmed."

Hou Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Manager Wu. I've thought about it clearly. Thank you for your care during this period. If there is a chance, I will come back to see you."

When Manager Wu saw this, he didn't say anything more.

Hou Yue sat in front of the company computer. He opened the company's system for the last time and clicked on the resignation application. In just 2 minutes, he filled out the application form and turned off the system.

He stood up, simply packed up his few things, and left with a schoolbag on his back.

During this period, he met several colleagues and passed by him. Hou Yue did not say a word, remained silent, and quickened his pace.

When he arrived at the door of the store, got on the electric scooter, and was about to leave, store manager Wu walked out quickly and said, "Xiao Hou, see you later. If you want to come back anytime, I welcome you back."

Hou Yue's nose felt sour when he heard this. He thought of everything in the past two years. Every day seemed ordinary. Looking back now, it was ups and downs, ordinary and ordinary. This is the most precious thing. He nodded hard and said softly: "Goodbye, hope we can meet again."

After saying that, he rode the bike and left silently.

Hou Yue rode alone and soon arrived at Global Port not far away.

In a large shopping mall, he parked his car and came to the gate. He looked up and sighed in his heart, it's so majestic.

He has been to this place several times in the past two years, but he always just wandered around and ate a bowl of noodles inside.

Hou Yue opened Alipay, took a look at the balance, and suddenly felt confident.

He walked in unhurriedly. As soon as he entered, there was a cold wind blowing in his face. He saw a magnificent European architectural style, a transparent elevator, a rotating Roman staircase, a spotless marble floor, and a sense of nobility rushed towards him. .

Hou Yue walked around slowly. He first found a wagyu fried rice restaurant and ordered a bowl of signature fried rice for 39 yuan.

After eating the fried rice, Hou Yue actually felt that the taste was not much different from the egg fried rice that cost ten yuan a bowl.

However, it doesn't matter now. After saving so much money, it's time to spend it, otherwise there may be no chance in the future.

After that, Hou Yue came outside a suit store. He stopped at the door and looked at it for 2 minutes.

Soon, a young and beautiful clerk came out with a bright smile on his face.

She came to stand next to Hou Yue and asked enthusiastically: "Sir, do you want to buy a suit? Our store has recently received a batch of new styles. Would you like to come in and take a look?"

Hou Yue glanced at her, nodded and said, "Well, let's go in and have a look."

The smile on the clerk's face became even brighter. She led Hou Yue to the store.

Soon, she brought three suits according to the sizes provided by Hou Yue and introduced them to Hou Yue.

Hou Yue took the suit and looked at it. It looked pretty good, not as baggy as the suit he bought for 100 yuan on Taobao.

He glanced at the price quietly, and Hou Yue took a deep breath, 1999? 2888? How terrible.

He put down his clothes a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, these clothes are a bit expensive."

In fact, he can afford it. He still has more than [-] yuan in savings over the years.

It's just that he really can't do it. To him, it's just a piece of clothing.

The clerk immediately understood Hou Yue's embarrassment. She smiled slightly and said: "Sir, don't worry, we have been having activities here recently, and the lowest discounts are starting at 4% off. In addition, I can personally give You apply for additional discounts. Secondly, the quality of our clothes is strictly controlled, and the upper body effect and comfort are guaranteed."

Hou Yue was relieved when he heard this. He looked at the three suits carefully. Finally, he thought about it and picked up the 1999 yuan suit and asked, "How much is the lowest price for this suit after discount?"

The female clerk took the clothes, glanced at the tag, and said: "For this piece, I can give it to you at the lowest discount of 4% off. The suit top is 799 yuan, and the suit pants are 499 yuan."

Hou Yue thought for a while and asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

The female clerk said a little embarrassedly: "This is already the lowest discount, this..."

Hou Yue was silent for two seconds, then he said, "Okay, then wrap it up for me."

ah? The female clerk nodded in surprise. She happily brought Hou Yue to the checkout counter, and quickly packed Hou Yue's suit.

Hou Yue opened Alipay, paid and walked out with a suit.

Behind him, the female clerk said: "Welcome to visit us next time, Mr. Slow Walk."

Hou Yue, after leaving the suit store, walked around the mall.

He picked out a 1988 yuan gold ring in the gold store.

I chose a mechanical watch worth 2188 yuan in a watch store.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, he put on his ring watch with satisfaction and rode out of Global Harbor.

Hou Yue went back, packed her things briefly, and then rode her bike to the subway station.

After taking the subway, he arrived at the high-speed rail station in more than half an hour.

He raised his hand and glanced at the newly purchased watch. It was already 02:30, and the car was leaving in half an hour. He hurriedly jogged all the way.

He arrived at the entrance 10 minutes later. At this time, ticket checking had not yet started.

But a long queue has already formed, and the high-speed rail station is full of people in a hurry.

Hou Yue stood at the back of the queue. After a few minutes, ticket checking began, and the queue began to move slowly to the front.

Hou Yue took out his Bluetooth headset, opened NetEase Cloud Music, and randomly clicked on a song he had never heard before. Within two songs, he had checked the tickets, carried his bag, and walked on the long aisle.

His car number is 17-03A, which is among the last few cars.

When Hou Yue was halfway gone, he heard the noisy crowd on the other side through the music in his headphones, and he turned his head and looked curiously.

I saw a middle-aged man standing on the high-speed rail track on the other side.

He held a little girl tightly and stood in the middle of the track.

Hou Yue took off his headphones, and vaguely, he heard the man shouting: "I won't divorce! I will make you regret it for the rest of your life, or something."

He looked elsewhere. On the high-speed rail platform, a woman was lying on the edge of the platform. Because she was a little far away, Hou Yue couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.

At this moment, not far away, on the track where the middle-aged man was standing, the high-speed train was rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

Hou Yue was a little confused. There were too many people here and she didn’t have enough time...

At this moment, a young man in the crowd rushed out of the crowd and jumped off the platform.

In the blink of an eye, he was behind the middle-aged man in the center.

When the man wasn't paying attention, he punched the middle-aged man over and snatched the little girl who was crying from his hand.

Then he returned to the platform without looking back. A few seconds later, the high-speed train passed by, and the middle-aged man was undoubtedly crushed into a pulp.

The onlookers on the platform suddenly screamed in surprise, and some people covered their mouths in disbelief.

A mother covered her child's curious gaze.

There were also people holding their mobile phones in their hands to record the scene.

There was also a security guard who was holding a walkie-talkie and talking anxiously.

Soon several new security personnel came to the platform, and they tried their best to maintain order.

But Hou Yue stood there blankly, his raised hand slowly lowered.

He stared at the blood-red track with complicated eyes, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Finally he sighed and stopped looking at the horrific scene.

He turned back and looked at the man on the other side of the platform who had just jumped off the platform to save the little girl.

He was holding the little girl and came to a middle-aged woman lying on the ground crying on the platform.

When the woman saw that her child was safe and sound, she climbed up with difficulty and rushed towards the man.

When the man saw this, he quickly put the little girl down, and the middle-aged woman hugged the little girl tightly as if she was desperate.

As for what they were talking about, they were a bit far away and Hou Yue couldn't hear clearly, but it had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Hou Yue's high-speed train also arrived at the station. Hou Yue turned around and walked into the carriage.

No matter what the truth is, that man has a reason for being a grown-up. The child must be innocent. Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. There is no need to save such a person.

Hou Yue found his seat by the window, sat down, and looked out the window.

Um? He found that the man who had saved the little girl just now was staring intensely in his direction.

Hou Yue could clearly see the smile on his face. His mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something.

But Hou Yue obviously couldn't hear, and he couldn't read lips. After a while, the high-speed train started slowly.

Hou Yue thought about it and closed the curtains. He put on his headphones again and turned on the song. Then he leaned on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and let his head go blank, not thinking about these messy things.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly spoke next to Hou Yue: "Mom, I know, I'm just going to the school in Hangzhou for exchange and study, and I'll be back in less than two days. Don't worry. Okay, I will take care of myself, you don’t have to come over, don’t worry, my dear mother.”

When Hou Yue heard this familiar voice, he suddenly lost all sleep, and he slowly opened his eyes.

They happened to meet Wang Qianzhi's eyes. At this time, Wang Qianzhi happened to be looking at Hou Yue who seemed to be sleeping.

The two of them were obviously a little embarrassed all of a sudden, and Hou Yue's brain suddenly shut down.

He was thinking, why is she here? This is too coincidental. Do I want to say something? It's better not to say it, that's not right, she shouldn't know me now.

At this time, Wang Qianzhi spoke, and she said uncertainly: "Hello, sir, um... It may be a bit strange to say this, but when I saw you for the first time, I felt very familiar. , have we met before?"

Hou Yue turned her head and said casually: "You have the wrong person, we have never met him."

Wang Qianzhi stared at Hou Yue's face carefully, making Hou Yue's face turn a little red.

She suddenly realized something, her little face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away in embarrassment.
