Chapter 94
Chapter 94
After the Spring Festival, Ni Xingqiao went on a business trip for half a month before returning to Ancheng.
He didn't go back to the house he rented directly, but went to his parents first.
Ni Haiming and Huang Qian haven't seen their son for a while, and the one who celebrates the New Year is not at home, so they feel very distressed.
Ni Haiming cooked a large table of dishes and told him not to leave at night and stay at home.
Ni Xingqiao didn't live at home for a long time, so he simply agreed. "It's good to come back and live for a few days, looking for memories." Huang Qian said, "Your dad and I are going to look at the new real estate, let's move out too. Their community has been around for some time, and the house is older than Ni Xingqiao .
In this kind of community in the early years, the property was not good, and various facilities were broken, and no one could be found to repair them.
They are all old buildings with five or six floors. There were no elevators when they were first built. In the past two years, the government has been trying to renovate the old community and install elevators in all of them.Ni Haiming said: "Actually, I have wanted to buy a new house for a long time, but your mother said that living in this place gave off feelings, so I couldn't bear it."
Ni Xingqiao smiled, "After all, it's the new house where you two got married." Huang Qian introduced several new real estate projects to Ni Xingqiao, "We've seen these, and you should take a look too. I'm thinking about buying another one for you. You can’t always rent a house, can you?”
The housing prices in Ancheng have been a bit fierce in the past few years. Ni Xingqiao has not been working for a long time, and he has no money on hand. He thought for a while and said, "I'm not in a hurry, you should buy your own living room first.
He has no money himself, and he doesn't want his parents to pay for it.In a few years, my parents will also retire, and when the income drops, I must have some savings as protection.
"By the way, what's going on with Aunt Qi recently?"
In these years, besides Ni Xingqiao, Huang Qian and Ni Haiming actually occasionally went to see Qi Meiling.
They were all very angry about what happened that year, but they were angry, and the hateful people were indeed pitiful. In addition, Ni Xingqiao was thinking about Yao Xu, and parents couldn't really ignore everything.
"It's still in the hospital. We went to see her before the Chinese New Year, and her mental state has improved a lot." Huang Qian looked at Ni Haiming, and then said to Ni Xingqiao, "She happened to be quite clear-headed that day, and asked us why Yao Xu didn't go."
Ni Xingqiao paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, biting his back molars. "The house she used to live with Yao Xu was sold by her family when she was unconscious.
Ni Haiming took up the conversation and said, "Qi Meiling's parents are really good. Their daughter has become so ill, and they don't care about it. They even sold her house to help that good-for-nothing son." He was so angry that he didn't want to say any more.
These things actually don't matter to Ni Xingqiao, it has nothing to do with him, he is no longer the soft-hearted little boy he used to be, he will feel sorry for everyone who suffers.
What makes him sad now is that Yao Xu really has no home. If Yao Xu comes back one day, he will be very disappointed.
After dinner, Ni Xingqiao went back to his room. Huang Qian followed him in and said to him, "I packed my things a few days ago and found this under the bookcase."
It was a diary with a bright yellow cover. It had been around for some years, and the cover was old.
Ni Xingqiao recognized at a glance that this was the "Love Diary" written back then, he stared at it intently, and heard Huang Qian say, "Mom didn't read it.
Ni Xingqiao smiled at her, "It's okay after reading it, it's all about Chen Zhima's rotten millet."
He took the diary, and Huang Qian said, "But aren't those old sesame seeds and rotten millet matters the most important to you?"
Before she went out, she patted Ni Xingqiao on the back lightly and said nothing.Ni Xingqiao felt that he was really lucky, if only he could exchange with Yao Xu.
He wants to exchange his lucky and warm parents with Yao Xu, so that Yao Xu can grow up easily and carefree.
This night Ni Xingqiao was lying on the bed where he had slept for nearly 20 years, looking through the diary he wrote when he was 17 years old.The whole article is Yao Xu.Yao Xu.Yao Xu.Yao Xu.
Ni Xingqiao's eyes turned red when he looked at it. He was not good enough at that time, but Yao Xu was so good that no one could match him.
He didn't go to bed until after three o'clock in the middle of the night, probably because he had been reading the diary before going to bed, so he had a dream. In the dream, he and Yao Xu were only 17 years old, and they ran to the school's grove to secretly hold hands and kiss secretly.At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang.
Ni Xingqiao has already got rid of the problem of staying in bed, because he feels that if he gets up early and goes out early, the chance of meeting Yao Xu will increase.After sleeping for less than three hours, Ni Xingqiao felt dizzy.He left home after breakfast, took a taxi to the company, and the first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to make coffee.
He doesn't like drinking coffee very much, especially black coffee, but for migrant workers like them who suffer from severe sleep deprivation, black coffee is a sharp weapon for refreshing their minds.
In the tea room, Ni Xingqiao noticed that the bottled water in the water dispenser had bottomed out, so he went to the front desk to tell him after making coffee.
The girl at the front desk had just arrived, and when she heard what he said, she immediately called the boss who delivered the water and told him to deliver it in the morning.
Ni Xingqiao, who just came back from a business trip, was very busy again. He had a meeting at ten o'clock, and he had to prepare all the materials before that.A cup of coffee was obviously not enough to clear his mind, and the materials were almost prepared. There were still ten minutes before the meeting, so he got up again and went to the tea room.
When Ni Xingqiao came over, he happened to see the water delivery workers coming to change the bottled water on the water dispenser.
He walked in, yawning, and headed for the coffee machine.
While waiting for the coffee to be ready, Ni Xingqiao was still preoccupied with the work to be reported later. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a person diagonally behind him bending over to lift the bucket.
He turned his head and looked over, wondering if he should help.He looked at the other person, who was wearing the overalls of the water delivery company, a baseball cap and a mask, covering him tightly.
However, when his eyes fell on the back of the other party's exposed neck, it seemed that an electric current swam through his whole body in an instant.
He always remembered that there was a mole on the back of Yao Xu's neck, which he secretly kissed back then.
Ni Xingqiao froze there, calmed down, and suddenly his heart beat faster. He frowned slightly, and narrowed his eyes vigorously, trying to see more clearly.
Just when Ni Xingqiao was about to approach that person, the coffee was ready, he was absent-minded and accidentally knocked over the cup, and the hot coffee spilled all over him.Ni Xingqiao was a little flustered, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe his clothes, shoes and the ground. When he looked up again, the person who had just come to deliver the water had already left.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, whether it was true or not, he had to chase it out to see clearly.
Ni Xingqiao put down his cup, turned around and ran out of the tea room.He ran to the front desk, but saw no one, and the elevator was empty.Ni Xingqiao's heartbeat was a little fast. Although he thought it might be a coincidence, after all, he had misidentified the wrong person before, but for some reason, he always felt that when he was alone with that person in the tea room just now, the feeling from the other person was very familiar to him.
Maybe it's just his psychological suggestion, but he can't let go of any chance to find Yao Xu.
Ni Xingqiao asked the girl at the front desk, "Do you know the person who just delivered the water?"
"Brother Ling, he's always here to deliver water." "Always here," Ni Xingqiao muttered, "Why haven't I seen it before?" The girl at the front desk smiled, "You guys are not in the tea room all day, how could you have seen him? We usually change the water before you go to work."
Ni Xingqiao turned to look in the direction of the elevator, and asked her "what's his name?"
"Qiao Ling." The girl at the front desk said, "What's wrong with that bucket of water just now?" Qiao Ling...
Ni Xingqiao frowned thinking about the name.
A colleague came to ask Ni Xingqiao to go to a meeting, and he said to the girl at the front desk, "Can you tell me that person's mobile phone number?"
"I don't have his mobile phone number." The front desk took out a business card from the box on the table, "This is the business card of their boss, you can contact him if you want to order water."
Ni Xingqiao took the business card and thanked him, then hurried over to the meeting.Joe Ridge.
Ni Xingqiao has been thinking about this name all the time. Did he recognize the wrong person again? At this time, the man named Qiao Ling had already walked out of the office building. He lit a cigarette on the side of the road, his hands were shaking. Open the driver's door of the van.
Before driving away, he turned his head and glanced at the seventeenth floor of the office building, and without staying too long, he kicked the accelerator and left.
