comb up not to marry

In September, the publication with the theme of overseas returnee employment received a good response. Everyone in the newspaper office finally let go of their worries for a month, and began to prepare for the theme of patriotism and intangible cultural heritage in October.

In mid-September, the day Miaoning was finalized, Xue Xiaxue called Miaoning into the office again.

Xue Xiaxue has an exquisite tea set in her office. She is sitting on the leather sofa, making tea with bare hands, pouring a cup of tea for Miaoning, raising her eyes and smiling, "Sit, Miaoning."

"Thank you." Miaoning sat down and took the purple clay cup, turning it around in her hand.

"Try it."

Miaoning put the purple sand cup to her mouth, took a sip of the tea, the fragrance was permeating, "good tea."

"Yes, indeed." Xue Xiaxue took a special look at Miaoning, "In fact, tea culture is also a kind of intangible cultural heritage."

Miaoning's eyelids moved slightly, not knowing Xue Xiaxue's intentions.

Xue Xiaxue added another cup of tea to Miaoning, her long legs were raised, her hands were on one side, her posture was very casual.

Miao Ning tugged on the collar to relax the tension in her heart.

Xue Xiaxue said unhurriedly, "Miaoning, Da Qiao told me everything."

Miaoning didn't rush to answer, she gave Xue Xiaxue a careful look.

She and Xue Xiaxue have known each other for five years. Three years ago, she failed to start a business, and Xue Xiaxue was kind to her.Since she decided to leave Nancheng, she still hasn't figured out how to tell Xue Xiaxue, how to live up to Xue Xiaxue.

This is one of the few true feelings she has shown in this city over the years.

She needs a decent goodbye.

Say goodbye to the city, say goodbye to the past, Moveon again.

Xue Xiaxue bent her arms, her knuckles slightly touched her chin, she understood Gu Miaoning's psychological burden.

Xue Xiaxue narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was sure of winning, "Miao Ning, I came to tell you another matter."

Miao Ning smiled calmly, "I would like to hear the details."

Xue Xiaxue smiled confidently, and spoke eloquently.

An hour later, Xue Xiaxue got up from the chair and walked behind Miaoning's back. She patted Miaoning's shoulder forcefully, "Okay, that's the way it is, and there's a long way to go. Go and do your work first."

"En." Miao Ning exited the office, her hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

Between two or three deep breaths, Miaoning's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

She strolled to the glass window and looked at the small half of Qingling City in the distance.

The afterglow of the flames is intertwined and lingering.

Reluctantly, the earthly world.

Miao Ning crossed her arms and circled her chest, she gradually tightened her arms.

Between people, understanding is more than everything.She suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Three days later, the sample booklet for the finalized trial issue arrived. Miao Ning's 'oiled paper umbrella' was compressed and then compressed until it took up only a small space and the word count dropped sharply to [-] words.

Miaoning looked at it, put her hands aside, and knocked on the partition between her and Da Qiao.

Big Joe raised his head and questioned.

Miaoning raised her eyebrows, and said word by word, "Steady, Joe, deputy editor-in-chief." "

Da Qiao smiled and waved his hands casually, then lowered his head in a low-key manner, "Work, don't you still have an interview this afternoon?"

"Yes."

After lunch, Miao Ning hurried to Qianye Building to interview the person in charge of a cultural film and television company, and finished the interview after four o'clock.As soon as she walked out from the front of Qianye Building, Miao Ning stopped in her tracks.

She didn't expect to see Tao Qing.

Tao Qing got down from a luxury car, and then Tao Qing kissed the side of the middle-aged man in the driver's seat. The man subconsciously avoided his face, and then hurriedly looked around with an extremely unnatural expression.

Tao Qing stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged man immediately took out the bank card and stuffed it into Tao Qing's hand, closed the window forcibly and drove away.

The moment Tao Qing turned around, she also saw Miao Ning.

Tao Qing was stunned for a few seconds, her proud face suddenly became extremely arrogant, she looked away indifferently, and passed by Miao Ning as if she didn't know her.

Miao Ning turned around and looked at Tao Qing's back, she frowned, and subconsciously rubbed her fingers together in thought.

Strange to say, Tao Qing didn't call her even in the past few months, let alone asking for money.

This is not in line with Tao Qing's personality. In the past, Tao Qing wished she could 'stick' to her and ask for money.

Miaoning's mind suddenly flashed back to the day when she was standing on the balcony, and Tao Qing and Ye Huaijin were talking happily at the gate of the community?

Could it be...?What stupid thing did Ye Huaijin do again...

Miaoning's heart skipped a beat, and she chased after her.

"Tao Qing."

Tao Qing stood still, she looked back with a slightly exaggerated expression, and said with sarcasm, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Gu? Forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't see it just now."

Miao Ning was not annoyed, "Tao Qing, I just want to say that you forgot to put the tag on your skirt, 8999."

Tao Qing's expression changed, she nervously looked left and right, at the entrance and exit of the building, although there were many people, they came and went in a hurry, and no one noticed what was happening here.

Tao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, she stretched out her hand to reach for the hanging tag on the back of her neck, the more she reached, the more she couldn't reach it, the more she couldn't reach it, the more anxious she was, "Hey...!"

"I'll help you." Miao Ning stepped forward and grabbed Tao Qing's clothes tag.

Tao Qing put down her hands, "Thank you..."

Before finishing thanking you, Miao Ning interjected, smiling boldly, "I'll cut it off for you."

In an instant, the veins on Tao Qing's neck popped up, and she was furious, "Gu Miaoning!"

"Look around." Miao Ning said coldly.

Several people were attracted by Tao Qing's voice, Tao Qing lowered her voice, gritted her teeth, "Gu Miaoning! Are you sick?"

Miao Ning snorted coldly, and stuffed the tag directly into Tao Qing's clothes, "You can't afford to make a joke? How come the 5 yuan that Ye Huaijin repaid you last time was not enough for you to buy a dress?"

"You know what a fart." Tao Qing stared back.

"Or is it that the rich man next to you didn't give you enough money?" Miao Ning sneered.

"Gu Miaoning, don't act condescending." Tao Qing distanced herself and turned around, she squinted her eyes and said, "You said that I was a mistress, was raised by someone, and had a sugar daddy. But what is the difference between you and me?" , didn’t Ye Huaijin help you pay back your hundreds of thousands of bad debts?”

Miao Ning was stunned, what does Tao Qing mean?

Ye Huaijin not only exchanged 5 yuan for her?

"Heh." Tao Qing was still looking proud, but when she saw Miao Ning waiting in place for a long time, she suddenly realized that she had slipped her tongue. She bumped Miao Ning's shoulder and fled in desperation, "That Mr. Gu, You go ahead, I'm leaving."

What's the meaning…?

Miaoning was a little dazed.

Hundreds of thousands?

Those accounts of her failure to start a business?

Why did Ye Huaijin know?

Miaoning was confused and didn't know how to get back to the newspaper office.She got off work after sorting out the materials.When she was almost at the door of the house, she remembered that she didn't buy vegetables, and turned back to the supermarket.

Ye Huai took the time to make a video call today, "Ning Ning, are you off work? I read the weather forecast that it will be windy at night in Qingling."

"Well, I'm going to the supermarket." Miao Ning switched the camera and glanced at the surrounding environment.

Miao Ning cut back to the camera and said, "Yesterday's steamed Furong egg was a failure. You clearly emphasized the water ratio so many times, but I still can't grasp it well."

Ye Huaijin smiled softly, "It's okay, Ningning, Fan Cai has to go through it with his own hands before he knows it."

"En." Miao Ning twitched the corner of her mouth.

Ye Huaijin's smile slowly dropped, Miao Ning was not quite right today.

Ye Huaijin focused his eyes on Miaoning, who was pushing the shopping cart around in the corridor of the supermarket, but there was still nothing in the shopping cart.

"Ningning, what do you want to eat tonight?" Ye Huaijin asked.

Miao Ning has no expression on her face, her expression is slack.

"Ning Ning..." Ye Huaijin spoke again.

"Ah, what?" Miao Ning came back to her senses, she tightened the headset tightly, "What did you say? I didn't hear it just now."

"What are you having for dinner?" Ye Huaijin didn't take his eyes off it.

Miao Ning thought for a while, "Stir-fry a meat dish and add a vegetarian dish, didn't you teach me to stir-fry shredded pork with green peppers and vinegared cabbage last time?"

"Hmm..." Ye Huaijin's worry gradually increased.

Miao Ning continued to browse around, picking out a few things at random.After hearing no sound from the headset for a long time, Miao Ning asked, "Why didn't you talk?"

"Oh!" Ye Huaijin's eyelashes trembled slightly, he looked at the ticket next to his hand, and said, "Ning Ning, I will arrive at Qingling at six in the evening the day after tomorrow."

"Do you need me to pick you up?" Miao Ning stood in line at the counter to pay.

Ye Huaijin shook his head, "No need, the head of Qingling No. [-] Primary School will come to pick up the teachers that day, and they arranged a banquet for the evening."

"Oh."

"However..." Ye Huaijin turned around, "If you need it, I don't have to go to the banquet."

"No, you can go." Miao Ning smiled, she was not so naive as to not be able to distinguish between priorities.

Miao Ning put the things on the cashier counter, and the cashier swiped the codes of the goods one by one.

Ye Huaijin sank, she spoke slightly harder, "Ningning, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded, did something happen?"/

"Ok?"

"One hundred and two," said the cashier.

"Okay, right away." Miao Ning took out two hundred from her wallet, handed it to the cashier, then picked up the shopping bag and walked out.

"Ning Ning, I forgot to get the change." Ye Huaijin said anxiously.

"Hey, beauty, don't you want the supplementary money?" The cashier chased after a few steps.

"Ah?" Miao Ning pulled off a headset, turned around and took the money, "Sorry, I forgot."

"Here, it's okay, just put it away." The cashier walked back to work.

Miaoning held on tightly to the money in her hand.

The newly made money squeezed her hand and it hurt slightly.

Ye Huaijin was even more worried, "What happened to you today? Ningning?"

Miaoning pursed her lips and remained silent.

Miao Ning stepped on the elevator, exited the underground supermarket, and faced the outside.

It was almost the autumnal equinox, the night came early, and the city was lit up with neon lights.

At the crossroads extending in all directions, the traffic flow is focused on the direction to be arrived at.

"Ning Ning, you are still the same as you were when you were a child, you are not reassuring to do anything." Ye Huaijin softened his voice.

Hearing Ye Huaijin's voice, Miaoning lowered her head to look at the shimmering light in her hand.

Ye Huaijin was wearing light yellow long-sleeved pajamas today, with a white fringed shawl on her shoulders. Her shoulder-length hair had grown a lot, reaching her chest, and her hair was yellowed and slightly curly.

The whole person is extremely gentle.

"What's wrong? Ningning." Ye Huaijin asked again.

Ye Huaijin took off his makeup, and the two slightly lighter eyebrows were twisted together, forming a Sichuan character.

Ye Huaijin has undisguised fine lines and dry lines at the end of his eyes and under his eyes.

Miaoning's nose was sour.

The days when they combed each other's ponytails and went to school arm in arm.

The skin that was once blown to break, the cheeks that were red.

There was a tacit understanding and a heart that was honest with each other.

Years, an intangible thing, leave all kinds of interlaced scars on people.

Money, such a disgusting vulgar thing, put her in prison and rescued her from the quagmire.

Miaoning was in a state of confusion.

The wind was a bit strong, and if Miao Ning didn't pay attention, the money in her hand was blown away by the wind.

Miao Ning's head was a little sore from the wind, she opened her hand and rubbed her temples, her palm touched the moisture of her eyes.

Is the wind really strong today?

Otherwise, how could she have been blown away?

Miaoning put down her hands, looked at Ye Huaijin on the other side of the screen, suppressed the sobs in her voice, "Hello, Ye Huaijin?"

"Huh?" At some point, Ye Huaijin had already sat up.

"Do you still remember the 30 yuan for the demolition of old houses?"

Ye Huaijin was stunned, she looked at Miaoning's reddish eye circles, and after a few seconds, she said awkwardly, "Who have you decided to donate to?"

"What?" Miao Ning said excitedly, "Donate what, the money is blown by the wind?"

"Uh..." Ye Huaijin hesitated.

Miao Ning fell silent, she brushed her wind-torn hair, "Ye Huaijin, save the 30 for me."

"it is good."

"Why don't you ask me?"

"It's not important, as long as it's what you want, I have no reason to refuse." Ye Huaijin's brown eyes were extremely bright.

Miaoning stood under the street lamp, "I used it to buy a house in Nancheng

"Ningning, you...?" Ye Huaijin's pupils flickered and his lips trembled slightly.

Miaoning chuckled, "Ye Huaijin, don't think too much."

Miao Ning came slowly, "Didn't You Chuanmin from Xinnan Newspaper go away? They assigned a young master to be there, but...the strength is not to be praised, which caused the quality of the September publication to plummet."

"Then... Yuye Culture in Qingling Newspaper intends to acquire Xinnan by the end of the year. Editor Xue discussed with me and said that I will go to Xinnan News to work at the beginning of the new year, and the position will be deputy editor-in-chief."

Ye Huaijin listened quietly.

A long time after Miao Ning finished speaking, Ye Huaijin raised his eyes to look at Miao Ning again, straight and deep, that calm eyes seemed to see through Miao Ning.

The street lamp obliquely cast Miao Ning's figure, Miao Ning gathered her clothes, "Huai Jin, you are right, the wind is really strong today."

"I'm going home." Miaoning said.

Miao Ning turned off the video phone, she was carrying a shopping bag, and hurried across the sidewalk when the ten-second countdown was on.

In fact, at that moment, Miao Ning understood Ye Huaijin's eyes.

Miaoning walked home quickly, frying two dishes skillfully.

Miao Ning sat at the dining table, stuffing food into her mouth one after another.

Not fancy, but not unpalatable.

Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

The closer she gets to Ye Huaijin, the more she takes care of herself.

After eating, Miao Ning hugged her knees and started to be dazed.

Xue Xiaxue said to her that day, "Miao Ning, I'm glad you finally became yourself again."
