Chapter 29(1/2)
When Xu Shu saw her leaving, he immediately followed her. After walking a few steps, Secretary Yao's voice came from behind: "Xiao Xu!"
He pretended not to hear it and speeded up.
"Xu Shu! Wait a minute!"
This time, I couldn't pretend not to hear it, so Xu Shu had to stop and wait for Secretary Yao to shake hands and say goodbye to the supervisor after he finished speaking, and walked over and asked, "Uncle Yao, what else can I do when I look for me?"
"Xu Shu, Uncle Yao came down this time. He originally wanted to wait until he participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the bridge before leaving, but if there is something in the Organization Department, he will not wait that day and he will have to go back to Beijing tomorrow. But in two days, Commander Ding and General Liang will come down, especially General Liang, who will stay. You must study humbly by your side, avoid arrogance and impetuousness, and strive to get to the next level. When will Uncle Yao have time next time, next time, Uncle Yao will come to see you again."
Secretary Yao had a good relationship with his father, and Xu Shu agreed.
"The girl sitting next to you at night is that big-eyed girl. Isn't she the little Zhao in the design institute? Yesterday I heard from Lao Chen of the design institute that Xiao Zhao is not only good at business, but also Mr. Shen's granddaughter? I think you are very familiar with each other." Secretary Yao suddenly changed his mind.
"It's okay..." Xu Shu replied vaguely.
"The construction site is so hard and tiring. Girls are willing to work at the front-line construction site. It's rare. I see that her attitude is also very positive. She was taking notes at the meeting just now. I heard that when I was not dispatched to the group to work more than ten years ago, Mr. Shen was the chief engineer of the group. Now Xiao Zhao comes to work here again. It seems that Xiao Zhao and our group are also very destined to be together. I just wanted to say a few words to her. There were so many people that I turned around and she disappeared."
Xu Shu immediately said: "Uncle Yao, I am actually very familiar with her. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will help you turn it over, and I will ensure that no word will fall out!"
Secretary Yao nodded with a smile: "Okay, then you can just tell me something. I'm very pleased to see that more and more young people like her who originally had more choices are willing to come to the west and contribute to the construction of the country's western region. I hope she can realize the thinking and unity of your contemporary young people's values on the value of life and social values here. If you help me give her your mobile phone number, you will say that in her future work and life, there will be difficulties or ideological problems, so don't worry. Welcome to find me at any time. I am willing to communicate more with you young people and understand you more."
"I've written it down, I'm sure I'll bring it to you."
"Okay, then Uncle Yao is fine. By the way, you are the same. If you have difficulties, no matter what, if you tell your father that it is inconvenient, you tell Uncle Yao that Uncle Yao will help you."
"Thank you, Uncle Yao, I'll send you to rest."
"No, you go by yourself. The expressway will be in soon. Now the relocation is still left, and poverty alleviation will continue. Old Yu and Lao Deng and I will hold a meeting overnight to study it."
"Then I'm leaving. Uncle Yao, don't be too tired from work, pay attention to rest..."
Xu Shu said while retreating, turning around and couldn't wait to squeeze out from among the people who had finished the show.
Zhao Nanxiao returned to the house, closed the door and sat down, thinking about the scene at night. The more I thought about it, the more I felt depressed, and the more I regretted it.
I shouldn't have washed any torn socks for him.
Now, I guess by tomorrow, everyone knows that she has washed his socks. Although the fact is that she really can't stand being so close to her, just through a thin wall, there are so many socks that she didn't wash for several days, and she happened to be washing clothes at that time, which was completely by the way.
Now she has learned her lesson. If she helps him wash it again next time, she will be a bastard.
Zhao Nanxiao tried hard not to think about this embarrassing thing anymore. He got up and wanted to pour water to drink, but found that there was no boiling water.
Electric kettles are not allowed in the prefabricated houses. There is a boiler water supply in the canteen. Each house also offers the old kettles.
Zhao Nanxiao estimated that the people in the cafeteria should have almost dispersed, so he picked up the thermos bottle and opened the door, and evasively headed towards the boiler room. Suddenly, he saw Xu Shu walking towards him, and with a cold face as if he didn't see it, he walked over to him.
"I'll get you water."
He chased after him.
Zhao Nanxiao ignored him and continued to go forward. He reached out and grabbed the pot from her hand.
"It's cold outside, go inside and don't get frozen."
Zhao Nanxiao did not let go.
"As aware, let go."
His head came over again and coaxed her quietly, but Zhao Nanxiao's attention had shifted to the opposite side.
She saw a few more engineers living in the same row coming over there. The few people seemed to notice this and looked over, afraid that they would continue to grab the pot with him, and it would be even worse to pull the people's eyes. She hurriedly let go and turn around and quickly returned to the house.
After a while, the door was knocked twice, and she immediately opened, took back the kettle from him, and then closed the door, but he raised his hand and gently pressed it down.
"Wait a moment."
"What else do you want to do?" Zhao Nanxiao was full of anger and his tone was stiff.
"Secretary Yao has something to ask me to tell you. Can I come in?" He pointed behind her.
Zhao Nanxiao was also worried that he would be seen after standing at his door for a long time, so he barely opened the door.
He walked in.
Zhao Nanxiao leaned over and looked outside secretly. Seeing that there was no one beside him, he hurriedly closed the door.
"What are you talking about? Say it quickly!"
He looked at her.
"Are you angry with me? I..."
"What did Secretary Yao say?" She interrupted him without raising her eyes.
He paused: "Just just now, Secretary Yao asked me to tell you that he admires you very much and you are very destined to be with us. He encouraged you to continue working hard in the future. He also said that you have any difficulties or things you can't figure out. Just tell me directly and ask me to convey it on your behalf as soon as possible, and he will do his best to help you solve it."
Zhao Nanxiao stared at him and his tone was slower: "Please help me thank Secretary Yao."
"It must be..."
Xu Shu said as he leaned over slowly and observed her expression.
"Well, are you really angry with me? I knew I was wrong at night. I came over and wanted to apologize to you, but I was really unintentional. Actually, I wanted to thank you at that time. It was all my fault for Secretary Yao and the others. They talked too much, and they could not finish it. They could not finish it for a long time. You also know that I am impatient. If I really can't wait until it's over, I can't hold it in, so that I want to thank you first. Look at you who helped me fold my clothes and make the bed, and I also washed my socks and brought it away. If I didn't thank you in time, who would I become? How did I know that the microphone suddenly turned off at that time? I really didn't mean to tell others to hear it. Don't be angry..."
Zhao Nanxiao walked over and opened the door: "I accept your apology. It's getting late, go back to your house."
He didn't move, looking as if he didn't want to leave.
"Xu Shu, I asked you to go back to the house, didn't you hear it?" Zhao Nanxiao raised his voice and opened the entire door.
Finally drove away the people.
The meeting with the supervisor and the zj party is not over yet, and will continue tomorrow.
Zhao Nanxiao closed the door and sat back in front of his notebook, opened the file, and tried to bring back his thoughts for tomorrow's work, until almost eleven o'clock, feeling tired.
She turned off the laptop and remembered that she had not drunk water, so she carried the kettle and poured it into the cup on the table. When she picked up the cup, her hand accidentally touched a spare flashlight standing upside down on the table. The flashlight fell down and knocked the wall next to the table at the end, making a "knock".
It was almost midnight, and the construction site in the distance had stopped working. The surroundings were very quiet. Suddenly, although the noise was not very loud, it was still very clear to the ears.
Zhao Nanxiao reached out to help the flashlight, but suddenly remembered something.
The one who lives next to her forced an appointment with her, saying that if she doesn't agree to be his girlfriend, she will knock on the wall and twice if she agrees.
It's so naive. How could she have such a primary school student trick with him?
But at this moment, she looked at the flashlight that was accidentally touched by herself. For some reason, she suddenly became nervous. She stopped there, held her breath and immediately listened carefully to the movements next door.
Fortunately, the next door was quiet and there was no movement.
Zhao Nanxiao guessed that he might have fallen asleep, but he didn't hear the sound just now.
She let out a breath slowly, feeling a little relieved, but then she thought, even if he heard it, she had knocked on the wall specifically, so what?
When she remembered the scene where so many people turned their heads to look at her because of his words, she was still very embarrassed.
Zhao Nanxiao decided not to think about it anymore. He helped up the flashlight, put on the thick socks he wore to sleep, climbed into the cold quilt, turned off the light, and shrank in the quilt without moving. Finally, he finally felt a hint of warmth coming out of the quilt. Suddenly, he heard footsteps next door, followed by the sound of the door opening, and then, he knocked on his door.
Zhao Nanxiao was afraid that the knock on the door would be alarmed and moved others who had to pass by, so he had no choice but to tremble and crawl out of the quilt, put his clothes back, and then opened a crack in the door.
"What are you doing? When is it?"
She whispered in a low voice and blamed her.
"Let me come in and have something to say to you." His voice came from the crack of the door.
Zhao Nanxiao hesitated and opened the door.
He walked in and looked at her in a slutty way.
"Speak quickly, I'm going to rest."
Zhao Nanxiao turned his back to him and sorted out the already clean desktop.
"That...I heard it wrongly just now?"
Zhao Nanxiao didn't make a sound, picked up a book and flipped it out.
"No way? You've really thought about it so quickly? Think about it again. I really know I was wrong. From tomorrow, I will fold the quilt and wash the socks. I promise to wash it every day and not pile it under the bed. If you don't like it, I won't sit next to you at the next meeting. I'll stay away from you. You'll think about it again, don't be so anxious..."
Zhao Nanxiao still said nothing, turned his back to him, and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
After a moment of silence, his voice came again.
"I'd better tell you the truth. Actually, I really didn't dare to think that you would be so kind to me now. You know that I am superficial, so I was so proud. I confessed everything. You are lenient at least, and give me a chance to correct me."
Zhao Nanxiao turned his head slightly and glanced at him secretly. Seeing that he looked depressed, the air that had accumulated in his chest at night finally disappeared a little, so he pointed to the flashlight on the table: "Okay, I accidentally touched it. It fell down by itself and hit the wall."
After she said that, she waited for a while, but before he could react, she couldn't help it. She turned her head and found that he was staring at her, her face gloomy.
"What do you think of me like this?"
"What are you doing? Zhao Nanxiao, can you be careful next time? If you want to play with me, you can't play with this in the middle of the night! Do you know what I thought just now?"
He was really angry? His tone was quite heavy.
Zhao Nanxiao was not afraid of being angry, so he threw the book in his hand, leaned against the table, crossed his chest and snorted: "Who played with you? I said it was because I was accidentally! Besides, I don't care what you think! I'm too lazy to pay attention to your tricks!"
He continued to stare at her for a moment, and his face suddenly turned from yin to Jiji. He walked slowly towards her twice, leaned over, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "That, actually, if you really want to play with me, I'll be fine..."
He got very close, and the bedside lamp behind him cast his shadow, pressing him over to cover her. Zhao Nanxiao smelled the faint smell of soap left by his body after taking a shower at night, mixed with the breath of a young man, and it was hot and suddenly came to his face.
She felt the hairs on her face and neck skin standing up, and her heart also jumped a beat. She immediately held her breath and pushed away the person who was leaning over: "Xu Shu, please try another word?"
