The programmer and his woman

Late at night, the moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, sprinkling on the bedroom floor. I was immersed in a deep dream, when suddenly, a rapid and terrified scream broke the tranquility of the night. I woke up suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Xiaoxia lying on the bed, her body tense, her eyes closed, and screaming "Ah ...

I sat up suddenly, my heart filled with worry. Xiaoxia's voice was full of fear. She screamed and vaguely said something like "No, let me go". I listened to her dream talk and couldn't help wondering what terrible scene she dreamed of.

I gently patted her shoulders, trying to wake her up, but her body seemed to be stiff and she didn't respond. I realized that she was still dreaming and hadn't woken up. So I stretched out my arms and hugged her tightly. My embrace seemed to give her a little comfort, and her body gradually relaxed in my embrace, and her cries gradually subsided.

I felt Xiaoxia trembling in my arms, and my heart was filled with pity. I knew that she was experiencing a terrible nightmare at the moment, and I couldn't share her burden. I could only use my arms to tell her that no matter what happened, I would be by her side.

After a while, Xiaoxia's breathing gradually became stable and her body completely relaxed. I loosened my arms, gently covered her with the quilt, and then lay back on the bed. I knew that she had not woken up yet, but her nightmare was over.

I closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep again. But at this moment, my heart was full of love for Xiaoxia. I hope that no matter what difficulties and challenges she will encounter in the future, I can give her the most firm support and the warmest hug when she needs it most, just like tonight.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and falls on my face, warm and gentle. However, this quiet morning is soon broken by Xiaoxia's anxious call: "Wang Dong, get up quickly, get up quickly, you will be late for work soon!"

I opened my eyes dazedly and looked at the watch. Oh my god, it was almost time to go to work! I sat up suddenly, feeling panic. The clothes that were hung on the balcony last night were not completely dry yet, but I didn't care about that anymore. I quickly put on the still damp clothes, hurriedly rode my bike, and rushed to school.

Along the way, I rode my bike, repeating to myself: "Don't be late, don't be late." Finally, when I arrived at the school, I saw that I still had time, and I felt a little relieved.

After class, I returned to the office and found that the atmosphere inside was a little unusual. The originally noisy office now seemed solemn and everyone looked serious. I asked Teacher Chang curiously, "Brother Chang, what's going on in there?"

Teacher Chang glanced at me and whispered, "You newcomers may not know this, but our principal will hold a sacrifice like this every once in a while. I don't know which deity he is praying to, but our principal believes in this."

"Hey Huzi, don't go in yet. Your uncle is worshiping gods inside." Teacher Chang reminded Huzi in a low voice.

"Oh, oh oh oh." Hu Zi responded repeatedly and unconsciously took a few steps back, as if afraid to disturb some sacred ceremony that was going on.

Teacher Chang and Hu Zi were both capable people in the academic education department run by the principal. In the field of academic education, they have contributed a lot to the development of the school with their passion for education and professional knowledge. Whether it is curriculum design, enrollment promotion or student management, they can handle it with ease and are deeply loved by students and parents.

However, as the school continued to expand and its business expanded, the principal decided to concentrate all the employees who were originally scattered in various departments into a new office area to improve work efficiency and teamwork. So, Teacher Chang and Hu Zi also moved to this new office location.

Hu Zi sat in front of Teacher Chang's desk, tapped the keyboard lightly, and said tentatively: "Brother Chang, let me play on your computer for a while."

Teacher Chang was busy organizing files and responded without even looking up: "Okay, use it. Don't download any more messy stuff. Last time you installed a bunch of viruses and it took me a long time to clear them." There was a hint of helplessness and reminder in his tone.

Hu Zi nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Chang, I will definitely not put anything down this time." He promised solemnly.

However, not long after, when Teacher Chang came back, he found something wrong. He glanced at the computer screen and immediately found what Hu Zi was watching. He said sternly: "Hey, kid, you're not downloading anything anymore, you're watching porn instead, right? Go, go, do something serious. Your girlfriend is here to see you. If you can't hold it in, just fight her."

Hu Zi snorted lightly: "That fat woman, she is wishful thinking, I don't bother to pay attention to her."

Teacher Chang shook his head helplessly, tapped Hu Zi's head and said, "Don't be ungrateful, boy. Look how good your girlfriend is to you. She brings you food every day and helps run your uncle's business. Where can you find a girl like her?"

Hu Zi curled his lips and said, "If you like her, you can take her away. I don't like her anyway." There was a bit of rebellion and dissatisfaction in his words.

Teacher Chang was so angry at Hu Zi's words that he shook his head: "Hey, how can you talk like that, you unlucky kid? Hide from me and go play with your girlfriend." He pushed Hu Zi out, hoping that he could cherish the happiness in front of him.

Just then, the worship ceremony was over. The principal came out of the room, and Teacher Chang immediately greeted him: "Hey, principal, are you done with the worship?"

The principal nodded: "Ah, it's over." He continued: "Teacher Chang, come with me to do something." After that, the two drove out.

Huzi also went out with his girlfriend, and I was the only one left in the office. I sat quietly at my desk, thinking about a lot of things. At this moment, a student walked in and stuffed a card into my hand: "Teacher Wang, my mother asked me to give this to you." Before I could react, he turned around and ran away.

I looked down and saw a supermarket shopping card. Wow, this should be the legendary red envelope, right? I didn't expect that I, Wang Dong, would be lucky enough to receive such a thing in my life. I was secretly delighted, but then I fell into a dilemma: Should I return it to him?

I hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept the gift card. After all, I was short of money recently, and this gift card was a big help to me.

The work in the afternoon was much easier, and I thought about leaving get off work early and going back to accompany Xiaoxia. Along the way, I was thinking about what we could do together in the afternoon, maybe watching a movie or just chatting.

When I got to the door, I found that it was not completely closed, but only a crack. I was a little confused. Xiaoxia should be at home, so why was the door not closed? I pushed the door open and entered the house. There was no one. I listened carefully again and seemed to hear a faint voice from next door. It was Xiaoxia's voice.

I sat on the chair and waited patiently. After a while, Xiaoxia came back from next door. When she pushed the door open and saw someone in the room, she was startled and exclaimed: "Ah! Why are you suddenly in this room? You scared me." I was not afraid at first, but I almost jumped up because of her shout.

I calmed myself down and explained, "I saw your door was open, so I came in."

I calmed myself down and asked Xiaoxia, "What were you doing next door? You were so scared when you saw me. Is Lao Wang living next door?" I asked half-jokingly.

She smiled helplessly and said, "Go to hell, I'm telling you, I just came back from shopping and saw my neighbor next door and chatted with her for a while. You know, an old lady died in the house I live in not long ago, and then the house became empty. Wang Dong, I'm a little scared to live here alone."

After hearing this, my face changed slightly and I said in surprise, "Ah! So, was it a normal death or some other reason?"

She replied: "I heard from the neighbors next door that the old lady was so upset because her children were not filial that she committed suicide in the house."

After saying this, he nervously held my hand and continued, "Wang Dong, why don't we change rooms? I'm scared living here alone."

I sighed and explained, "But I've paid three months' rent. If I don't rent it now, the landlord will definitely not refund it. I still have one month's deposit, and I don't have the money to rent another house at the moment."

Xiaoxia thought about it, sighed, and said, "Oh, forget it, I won't change it. It would be such a waste."

I patted her on the back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. By the way, I received a shopping card today, let's go to the supermarket to buy some things later."

Xiao Xia asked curiously: "I received a shopping card, what does that mean?"

I explained: "A student's parent gave it to me."

After hearing this, Xiaoxia's face darkened and she said seriously, "Ah? You're asking for a red envelope, right? No, no, you have to give it back."

I sighed and said, "I've already taken it, how can I pay it back? I promise I won't take it next time, okay?"

After hearing this, Xiaoxia's expression softened a little and she said, "Okay, don't take it next time. Teaching people knowledge is your job."

I smiled and replied, "Yes, my dear wife."

Xiaoxia was amused by me and said angrily, "Go to hell."

I stood up, took her hand and said, "Let's go buy some things later. See if you need anything."

We chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the supermarket parking lot. Xiaoxia looked at the supermarket door in front of her and said excitedly, "We're here, it's right in front. Let's lock the car and go in."

I nodded, locked the car, and walked into the supermarket arm in arm. The supermarket was bustling with people. Xiaoxia looked around and asked me, "Wang Dong, what do we need to buy?"

I thought about it and said, "Let's push a shopping cart. It's more convenient. Well, basins, hangers, shampoo, shower gel, slippers, laundry detergent, these are daily necessities, let's choose these first."

Xiaoxia nodded and started to pick things. Soon, the shopping cart was full of things. I looked at the shopping cart and reminded her, "Don't you want to buy some meat and vegetables?"

Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "If you want to buy something, buy less. We don't have a refrigerator at home, and if you buy too much, it will go bad."

I nodded and said, "Oh, let's buy some instant noodles for emergency use."

Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Well, that's fine, but I don't really like eating that stuff."

We continued to stroll in the supermarket, and suddenly, I saw a bedding section. I walked over, pointed to a four-piece set and said, "Hey, Xiaoxia, here are beddings. Look, your sheets are all old. Why don't you buy a four-piece set? This one has a beautiful pattern and is suitable for you. Let's go with this one. It's only over a hundred dollars."

Xiaoxia came over, looked at the four-piece suit, nodded and said, "Okay, after buying this, it should be enough. Let's go check out and go back. I don't know how much money is on the card, let's not overspend."

I comforted her, "It's okay, if there's more, just add some yourself, we need these things anyway."

I stood in the aisle of the supermarket, my eyes unconsciously drifting to the shelves in front of me. I was a little hesitant. After all, we had never tried to do this kind of thing, so I asked tentatively, "Xiao Xia, should we buy that?"

"What?" Xiaoxia's question made me even more embarrassed. I shyly pointed to the shelf in front of me with my chin, trying to give her a subtle hint.

However, Xiaoxia obviously didn't understand what I meant. She guessed several times in a row: "Chewing gum?" I shook my head anxiously, trying to deny her guess.

"Chocolate?" She continued to guess, but I had worked in a supermarket and knew where that thing was placed. But I didn't dare tell her directly, for fear that she would be angry, so I had to remain silent.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Xiaoxia walked over and searched carefully on the shelf. I looked at her from behind, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she had really found the thing I wanted to buy.

At this moment, I realized that it was our turn to check out. The cashier's voice interrupted my thoughts: "Excuse me, do you have a membership card?" I came to my senses and quickly took out the membership card from my pocket and handed it to her. During the checkout process, I was always uneasy.

I looked up and suddenly saw a familiar figure - Glasses. He was standing at the cashier counter, busying himself. I couldn't help but screamed, "Why is it you, Glasses? Why are you here to cash out again?"

When Glasses heard my voice, he looked up at me with a surprised but helpless smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's useless to finish school. I still can't find a job. I'm familiar with this place, so I came here to continue working."

Just then, Xiaoxia ran over with a box of things. She glanced at me, then proudly slapped the box on the checkout counter and said, "I know what you want. Is that right now?"

I felt a little embarrassed for a moment, because I knew that the box in her hand was exactly what I was hesitating about buying. I hoped she had picked the wrong one, but this time she really picked the right one. I smiled helplessly, then looked at my glasses, wanting to explain.

However, Glasses understood our intention. He looked at the box, then at the two of us, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He said jokingly, "Oh, I see. This is my sister-in-law. You guys are going to do something soon, hehehe."
