Shimmer as promised

At the end of the month, Xu Weichen got his first salary in his life. Although the salary of the internship period was discounted, but including overtime pay and subsidies, the amount he got in the end was still considerable.On the weekend, Xu Weichen went to the bank to repay the first loan, went to the supermarket to buy some specialties in city B, and took the bullet train back to city A.

City A is not far from City B, and it takes about an hour by train. City B is a very developed first-tier city. There is University B with better teaching quality, and large companies gather here, so there are more employment opportunities.This was the reason why Xu Weichen chose to come to City B in the first place. As for meeting Xu Yao here, it was a complete accident.When he was studying in University A, he knew that Xu Yao had gone to work in another city, but he didn't expect that it was so close to City B.However, for someone with such a plan and ambition, it was only natural for him to choose City B.

City A is relatively backward, and can only be regarded as a second- and third-tier city. Life is more leisurely, and the pace of life is much slower.Compared with the hurried crowds that can be seen everywhere on the roads of City B, the people on the streets of City A are more like strolling in the afternoon, at a leisurely pace, which is very similar to the development speed of these two cities.

After getting off the bullet train and then taking the bus, the scenery along the way ranges from the bustling urban area to the deserted fields.Walking on a familiar country road, a few children passed by him laughing and joking.Xu Weichen stopped and silently watched them run into the distance.

More than ten years ago, I was also like this. I went out from here and went to the unknown world. I met more and more people, read more and more books, and did more and more things. The number of times I came back here But every year less and less.This place where I was brought up is like home but not my own home.The room and bed that I used to live in have long been filled with new children, and the person who regards herself as a mother also gives the same love to others.

Xu Weichen stood still in front of a rusty metal arch, looked up at the mottled writing on the gate:

A City Orphanage.

Although he is not a special child to this place, this place is indeed the most special place to him.

As soon as he entered the door, the children playing in the front yard saw him and surrounded him one after another, hugging his calf and walking around.

Xu Weichen touched this head, pinched that little face, feeling that children grow up really fast.He counted, and most of them were there. He was quite surprised, "Why are they all there? Didn't you go to school today?"

"It's been a long time since the holiday!" "We're on summer vacation!" "Brother Xu hasn't come for a long time!" The small groups protested, reaching for Xu Weichen's bag of special products.

Xu Weichen patted his head and smiled wryly.I went to work and practice almost every year during the holidays. After graduation, I joined Zia Machinery Company directly. I was so busy with work that I almost forgot that summer vacation is a time to have fun.

Xu Weichen took out the candies from the bag and distributed them to them. The children cheered and compared the candies they got with each other.Xu Weichen had to act as a mediator for them, and finally calmed down all the children's emotions. Everyone's mouths were stuffed with swollen candies, so they had time to ask: "Is Mother Qin there?"

"Yes, yes." "In the office!" "I saw it just now!" The children answered him in vague tones.

Xu Weichen asked them about their studies one by one, and played with them for a while before crossing the front yard, finding the dean's office with ease, and knocking on the door.

"come in."

The wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time made a "squeak—" sound. A middle-aged woman with silver hair raised her head, pushed her reading glasses, and saw the person coming. With a warm smile, "Wei Chen, I haven't been back for a long time! Sit down, sit down."

"Dean Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I was too busy looking for a job after graduation. I'm really sorry." Xu Weichen held down Dean Qin who was about to get up to pour tea, and walked around the office. He got a bench and sat beside her.

"Oh, it's a good thing to be busy. What are you busy with?" Dean Qin put the sweater in his hand on the table, and patted him on the shoulder with his calloused hands.

"Didn't I tell you before that I found a job in City B after graduating from graduate school? The company gave me a very good salary, and I have started to repay the student loans I owed when I was studying this month. "Xu Weichen put the special products from City B on the table, "I also brought some special products from City B, you can try it."

Dean Qin looked at him with a smile, "When you grow up, don't bring things here, just eat yourself, and use the rest of the money to repay the loan, pay it off as soon as possible, and then buy a house and marry a wife Well, it’s a little bit to save a little. Look at you, you’re thinner than when I saw you last time. Didn’t you eat well? Work must be very hard, right?”

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I met my senior in college, and he is now the director of our department." Xu Weichen said hesitantly, "He... takes good care of me, and everything in the company is fine."
