Employment relationship

24.

Probably because of the "golden medal for avoiding death" given by the client, Zhuo Yifan allowed the secret emotions in his heart to develop freely, and he became more and more "no big or small" when facing the flying He Jianguo who came to look for him— — This is not what he said by himself. That day he bought a local specialty snack "stirred white sugar" on the street. It entered He Jianguo's mouth, and finally got such a comment from the other party.

He Jianguo's helplessness and connivance became his biggest reliance, so Zhuo Yifan, who saw that the other party was not angry, lost his eyes with a smile, and said happily: "We are only 6 years apart, why are you 'old', why am I 'Small'?"

Resisting the sweetness in his mouth, seeing Zhuo Yifan talking and looking at him in the direction of the next three lanes, He Jianguo deliberately ignored the deep meaning behind the other's words, and felt that this child was more difficult to discipline than before, so he pretended to be angry Raise your fist: "Do you think I am big?"

However, his vicious shape was completely ruined by the disposable chopsticks in his mouth that temporarily served as sugar sticks.Seeing more and more eyes of passers-by drifting over, He Jianguo, who was a little less thick-skinned, finally decided to turn around and take two quick steps to distance himself from this "bear kid".

Zhuo Yifan pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, recalling in his heart the few indescribable novels he had downloaded two days ago, and said to himself: It seems that what is written in the book cannot be trusted.If no one picks up the dirty jokes, it will be completely meaningless.

At this time, He Jianguo only felt that the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River was a little bit worse than that in the southwest mountainous area. He did not expect that a certain brat in the same company had unilaterally set the progress clock of the two of them to the late night, and started planning non-stop. How to enter the stage where writing will be harmonized.

They wandered around the south of the Yangtze River for more than a month, traveling around the mountains and rivers all day long, Zhuo Yifan felt that his body was getting hairy from the tide.At this moment, he missed the sandstorm and the big monster wind in the north more and more.

He Jianguo laughed at him: "Have you been working as a vacuum cleaner for so many years, haven't you had enough?"

Zhuo Yifan wasn't annoyed either - it's better to say that he quite enjoyed the feeling that He Jianguo was teasing him now, which was very different from the original "master-slave distinction" sense of distance.Looking at the man standing by the window with his hands folded, he said casually, "Don't you want to go back at all?"

He Jianguo turned around, with his back to the window, Zhuo Yifan couldn't see his expression clearly under the backlighting situation: "Well, a little bit."

Zhuo Yifan was stunned: "Are you thinking about it a little bit? Or a little bit thinking about it?"

He Jianguo sighed: "Hey, forget it."

After so many years, he has never mustered up the courage to visit the tomb of his former comrade-in-arms.When he first came back from Africa, he had this idea, but he still hadn't made up his mind to implement it, so when Zhuo Yifan mentioned "going back", he was so entangled.

Probably because his mentality is different now, after a little thought, Zhuo Yifan finally chose to ask: "Old He, do you have something on your mind?"

He Jianguo pursed his lips and shook his head: "It doesn't count..."

Zhuo Yifan was a little disappointed: Hearing this talk, he definitely didn't want to talk about it.

"I don't think I've ever told you about the past, have I?"

Zhuo Yifan didn't expect that he would wait until the next sentence, he didn't want to miss the opportunity, he quickly asked: "What was before?"

Seeing that Zhuo Yifan was so curious that he almost leaned over half of his body, He Jianguo smiled: "I never said before that I was in the peacekeeping force, did I? You still ask me why I speak the dialects of Africa, those dialects are for That's what I learned."

Zhuo Yifan was a little surprised, but recalled all the "extraordinary" things about He Jianguo, and nodded clearly.

Perhaps Zhuo Yifan's listening provided He Jianguo with the best confidant in history, so he confides all the dusty past that he has been reluctant to reveal these years, much more detailed than the last night conversation with Leng Feng.

It was difficult for Zhuo Yifan to imagine how he would feel if he faced such a situation, and then he suddenly thought of the brief meeting in the cement pipe that day, and when he went to "He Jianguo at that time, if Die in front of myself" Thinking of this, my heart throbbed.He suddenly understood He Jianguo's restlessness for so many years.

So he stood up, walked in front of He Jianguo, patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the other party's eyes that were glistening with tears, and said seriously, "Would you like to hold me and cry?"

He Jianguo's tears were suppressed back into his eyes, he smiled, hugged Zhuo Yifan as if, and then retreated: "Yes, that's fine."

Even though He Jianguo "cooperated" so much, Zhuo Yifan was "unyielding": "Really, I think it's pretty uncomfortable for you to hold back for so long, why don't you vent it? Of course, if you're embarrassed to do it in front of me If you cry, I can go out for a walk first..."

At this moment, He Jianguo's melancholy finally disappeared, he clenched his fist and gave Zhuo Yifan a light hand, and said helplessly, "It's alright, alright, I'm not so fragile." Seeing that Zhuo Yifan was still not at ease, he said again, "This way Come on, don't worry, wait a few days before we go back, and you can go to the cemetery with me."

Only then did Zhuo Yifan nod his head: "Okay!"

I am ashamed to say that Zhuo Ming wrote hundreds of thousands of checks at the time, and Zhuo Yifan later converted them into money and put them in the card, but when they settled the check on their return trip, they found out that nearly five cents had been used up. one.From this point of view, the ending of sitting and eating is probably doomed.So Zhuo Yifan thought, the whim that day in Yunnan may really need to be put into action.Just opening an inn may not be suitable for him.He is not a person who knows how to operate and manage, including the factories in Africa, those affairs are basically handled by Lao Lin-by the way, he can call Lao Lin to join him!Zhuo Yifan suddenly woke up.

He Jianguo hesitated after hearing this idea: "Is Lao Lin still willing to come out? On the way back, I heard him say that he would never leave his wife and daughter again several times. I guess he doesn't want to leave City A."

Zhuo Yifan replied angrily: "Yes, I almost forgot that he is still a good family man. What should we do? We don't know anything about business..."

He Jianguo listened to the other party's blurted out "we two", obviously counted himself as one with him from the bottom of his heart, and was inexplicably happy, so he said to comfort him: "Brother Fan, don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Big deal, let's start a security company and do our job."

Zhuo Yifan sounded reasonable, nodded and stopped worrying about this matter, and said instead: "Okay, I'll accompany you to the cemetery later, let's think about it."

Probably the knot in his heart was finally loosened by Zhuo Yifan. Even when he first heard this topic, He Jianguo's heart did not experience the violent fluctuations he imagined. May have really been let go.

The hometown of He Jianguo’s former comrade-in-arms is in K City in the north, just beside City A. Just after May Day, the two cities finally have a bit of spring warmth. When the dust and smog are gone, the sky is so blue. It is exactly the same as the background of the wall calendar a few years ago.

At this time, there were very few people going to the cemetery, Zhuo Yifan endured his curiosity, followed He Jianguo's footsteps, walked through the forest of tombstones, passed an unknown number of rows of tombstones, and saw that the other party stopped in front of a particularly simple stone tablet.Zhuo Yifan looked at the photo of the smiling young man in military uniform on the tombstone, and felt a little emotional: Looking at him, he was not a few years older than himself, life and death are really impermanent...

But after all, he was not familiar with the owner of the tombstone, so apart from the emotion at the beginning, he had no other emotions.Then he glanced at He Jianguo, and saw that the expression on the other's face was not obvious, neither too serious nor too sentimental, and he was a little uneasy for a while: Lao He, is he all right...

He Jianguo was indeed fine, his mood was even better than Zhuo Yifan imagined.Probably Zhuo Yifan's nonsense of "can't be reincarnated because of concerns" that comforted him had worked. He began to feel that if he was too guilty, maybe he would really drag his brother down and be unable to reincarnate into a Buddha.So when he arrived at the tombstone, he just looked at the photo of his brother on the monument, took the monument as his brother himself, and unilaterally chatted with him about his experiences over the years.

Then the precarious boulder hanging in his heart finally slipped, and then shattered into powder on the ground, blown by the warm wind of May, and dissipated cleanly.

Just when Zhuo Yifan was getting more and more worried and almost asked out loud, He Jianguo turned his head and smiled at him, and said loudly: "Go, Brother Fan, I have to buy you a drink and thank you!"

Seeing the familiar smile lines in the corners of He Jianguo's eyes, Zhuo Yifan finally felt relieved and nodded vigorously: "Hey!"
