Zhao Changan accompanied Zheng Wenzheng and Zheng Chi at night and shared a bottle of Wuliangye.

Zheng Wenzheng ordered Zheng Chi to get the wine from his house not far from the train station. Zheng Wenzheng signed the bill and kept the accounts at the restaurant where he ate. Zhao Changan couldn't find a chance to pay for the meal.

After that, Zheng Chi sent Zhao Changan into the station and stayed with him until the eleven o'clock train.

"Woooo~, boom, boom, boom~"

In the dark land of the Central Plains, the train is like a long steel dragon, running across the land.

Zhao Changan slept on the top bunk, but he couldn't fall asleep with his eyes closed.

Because Li Shiya's parents have always been strongly opposed to their daughter marrying Zhao Changan, they rarely talk about Li Shiya's parents, relatives and friends.

The information known is very limited:

Li Shiya was born on the 18th day of March in the Renxu year, born in the Year of the Dog, and a native of Jiaxing.

A freshman from Mingzhu Foreign Languages ​​School in Grade 1999, he went to Qiaojiashan Town to teach in 2003.

Yue Lu, a classmate and dormitory best friend at university.

Of course, there are a few friends who occasionally contact him, but Zhao Changan only knows his name and appearance, and he is not even sure where the other person is from.

My daughter went to her grandparents’ house in Jiaxing, but that happened more than ten years later.

He also secretly used the map tool on his computer to look at it. It was a new urban area, and that place should still be a wilderness by the river.

I remember Li Shiya once said jokingly that she was a Chaoshan girl.

Chaoshan is more than two thousand miles away from Jiaxing.

That's even more like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Woo~"

Amidst the roar of the train, Zhao Changan stayed up until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, Li Shiya was wearing a long dress, holding her daughter's hand, smiling at him, and then gradually moving away from her. No matter how much Zhao Changan shouted, it was of no avail.

Finally disappeared into the fog.

‘03,10,9,05’

A line of thicker white mist formed a row of numbers in the void ahead, and then dissipated in an instant.

"Huhu——"

Zhao Changan woke up from his dream sweating profusely, gasping for air, and his heart was pounding like a knife.

"Boom~, boom~"

The train was still running at high speed, and there was white light outside the window, but the fog was thick and it was chaotic.

——

When Zhao Changan returned to Mingzhu, he couldn't calm down. A group of brothers from the Red Mansion, including Zeng Xiaoxiao and Liu Cui, persuaded him that Shan Qiang's group of masters would be able to adjust his singing to perfection.

However, only Zhao Changan himself knew that it was not because of this incident at all.

December 22nd, Tuesday, is the winter solstice.

After Zhao Changan contacted Liu Qihua, he got her consent to bake dumplings in the Red Mansion for the winter solstice.

Sun Yiyang, Yue Lei, Pei Jiayu, Wei Hengchao, You Shuxun, Jing Xiu, Qin Youyuan, Song Jing, Pan Gao, Lu Bei, He Ting, Su Wei and Huang Jiali were invited.

Liu Cui invited her wealthy best friend Hong Yan, and Zeng Xiaoxiao invited Xu Shasha and Qiao Jinger.

As Yinnan’s legal advisor, Zhou Kexin naturally attended the party.

Microelectronics Class 1 had a physical education class on Tuesday afternoon. Zhao Changan, who was sweating profusely after running, thought about it again and made a phone call to Liu Qihua to find out whether Tang Shuang had given up his career or was silently licking his wounds in the dark.

Work hard to complete hyck’s web design.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Liu Qihua called him back.

"Go to Deputy Director Qi's office. She just wants to talk to you about something."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Changyou had a headache and felt that Qi Xiu's call was unkind.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Come in."

The voice is light.

Zhao Changan pushed the door open and entered the room. It was warm inside, but Qi Xiu did not turn on the air conditioner. Instead, he placed a coal stove in the office with a kettle on it. The coal stove used several iron pipes as chimneys and stretched out from the window.

Qi Xiu was sitting at her desk, writing something with a pen. The desk was piled with documents, looking very busy.

"Director Qi."

Zhao Changan was extremely respectful. - As soon as he saw Qi Xiu's "very busy" look, Zhao Changan knew that he was definitely looking for trouble.

"Wait a minute."

Qi Xiu said something and left Zhao Changan aside.

"Swish, swish, swish~, swish~"

"Woo~"

Amidst the sounds of notes and documents being turned, the teapot boiled.

Zhao Changan picked up the thermos bottle, only to find that it was full?

"Director Qi, where do you pour this water?"

"Oh, I wanted to make coffee, but I was so busy that I forgot."

"Well, well, I'll cook, you're busy."

Zhao Changan's heart dropped, "Making coffee is a big deal!"

He came to the glass wall cabinet and was surprised to see two large bottles full of coffee beans.

"I keep staying up late these days, and I have a lot of work at the end of the year. Please grind it all for me and make another pot."

Qi Xiu's voice was still calm, and she kept looking at the documents while speaking, without even looking at Zhao Changan.

"Two big bottles!"

Zhao Changan was stunned and exclaimed in his heart, wasn't this going to peel off the skin on his palms?

"Well, is it difficult?"

Qi Xiu stopped the document in her hand and looked up at Zhao Changan in surprise.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult."

Zhao Changan laughed quickly, but in his heart he shouted, 'But it has useless hands!'

“Gulu, gulu, gulu—”

So, Zhao Changan began a long process of turning the handle and grinding it patiently.

Gradually, the smell of coffee bean powder filled the office, with a hint of bitterness in the fragrance.

More and more intense.

This grinding lasted from three o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon.

The grinding made Zhao Changan's palms red and his arms sore.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, who told me to 'bully' someone else's daughter? If I 'bully' the younger one, the older one will come knocking on my door!

Finally finished.

"Huh~"

Zhao Changan looked at the full coffee box, his back ached and his hands cramped, and he was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Take a long breath.

"Are you tired?"

Qi Xiu raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Not tired, not tired at all."

Zhao Changan's answer was insincere.

He stood up and walked to the coal stove, opened the lid of the pot, held his fingers one centimeter above the water, estimated the temperature of the water, and turned up the heat a little.

Then, Zhao Changan took the coffee pot and coffee cup and went to the pool outside to clean them.

After cleaning, Zhao Changan returned to Qi Xiu's office and saw that she had just put down her phone.

Zhao Changan took out a piece of filter paper and placed it in the filter cup.

Place the filter cup on top of the coffee pot, take the hot water in the thermos bottle, clean the filter paper and coffee pot again, and preheat the coffee pot with the thermos cup.

Pour away the waste water and drain the coffee pot slightly.

Zhao Changan carefully scooped out three large spoonfuls of coffee powder from the coffee box, poured it into a filter paper cup, picked up the teapot with his left hand, and started brewing in a fancy way.

Suddenly, as the coffee powder comes into contact with the hot water, a subtle sound of "sizzling" is made.

A strong aroma filled the entire office.

"Bang~"

The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Mom, did you make coffee? As soon as I saw your message, I ran over here! It smells so good! Zhao Changan, why are you here?"
Chapter completed!
