Ode to joy

Chapter 77

As soon as Dr. Zhao went to work, the brother who started at the same time winked and came over and said, "Did you eat the bark? What effect?"

Dr. Zhao didn't understand, "What tree bark? Cold medicine? Poppy shell? I think it will work."

The brothers saw Dr. Zhao from the head to the middle, and paused for a while, "I need a prescription for a small blue tablet, please say hello, and you don't need to come forward."

Dr. Zhao was puzzled, grabbed his brother's tie and pressed him for questioning, only to find out that there was a big disturbance on Weibo last night.He hurriedly checked online, at first he burst out laughing, then he became annoyed, and blocked Qu Xiaoxiao's ID without hesitation.However, because of the setting of the Weibo function, he couldn't delete those bad friends' replies to Qu Xiaoxiao, such as "One-night stand off", "A girl is a good school", and so on.He had learned the dangers of Qu Xiaoxiao's tricks in the market, so he decided to intensify his efforts to escape.But, do we need to resort to unconventional spells?Dr. Zhao vacillated between trouble and figure, and finally insisted on the principle of choosing figure.

But as long as Dr. Zhao is still attached to his figure, Xiao Qu will have a lot to do.When she woke up early in the morning, she found that she was blocked by Dr. Zhao, and she felt the joy of getting her wish.So she ignored breakfast, quickly registered another ID, and tossed Dr. Zhao's Weibo upside down.But she is not stupid, she thought, what if Dr. Zhao becomes angry and doesn't even show the minimum courtesy from now on.She has to vaccinate comrade doctor.

So she made up a gentleman's motto behind a certain Weibo, such as 24 filial piety to women, don't say no to women, don't get angry with women, don't...otherwise it is obscene.While making up, Qu Xiaoxiao laughed, she knew best the temper of intellectuals who care about face, as long as they don't tear their face, but bind them in face, then there is nothing they can do.

After Qu Xiaoxiao finished her bad deeds and received feedback from Dr. Zhao that she was already angry, she relieved the depression of last night and went to work triumphantly.If she meets Dr. Zhao at this time, she will definitely be able to feel proud and proud.

While Dr. Zhao checked Weibo again with a cold headache during his busy work break, he saw Qu Xiaoxiao making the same disturbance again, and became angry.This time, he didn't do anything, and completely defined this person in his head as a refusal to come and go.

Andy was out of his mind today, and when he got to the office, he was lost and lost.She simply sat in her office and canceled most of the work on her calendar.But the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept blowing, Wei Guoqiang appeared again, the assistant didn't dare to stop him when he saw the business card shown by Wei Guoqiang's colleague, and let Wei Guoqiang go straight to Andy's office in the familiar way.Andy just received a call from his assistant to remind him that Wei Guoqiang had already appeared at the door.Andy went straight to the top of her head with anger, but Wei Guoqiang had the face to rush again, so she didn't want to repeat the same trick and throw the cup for the second time, so she had to look at Wei Guoqiang coldly.

Wei Guoqiang closed the door very consciously, found a place to sit down, and said very consciously and obediently: "Yesterday, I asked a colleague to give you a painting, I'm sorry, my colleague was fast for a day, and I didn't have time to call to explain. That painting is your grandfather's work..."

"Sorry, He Yunli is just He Yunli, don't have anything to do with me."

"That painting was painted by him for himself. He valued it the most, but he didn't dare to look at it. It has been kept in my study, so he didn't dare to step into my study."

The biggest confusion for smart people is that they remember what they hear, and it is impossible to hear it without hearing it.The most painful thing is that even though her mind wanders too far, she can use two things at once, and she can't stop the magic sound from piercing her ears.And Andy couldn't drive Wei Guoqiang away, knowing that if he drove away today, he could come tomorrow, and he has such power, so she had to close her eyes and talk to Wei Guoqiang casually.

"I wanted to make up my own mind and send you the painting full of emotions. I hope you can understand his inner contradictions, and hope that this can shorten the distance between you. But after he learned about it last night, he was so emotional that he was sent to the hospital. Woke up Later, I was strictly ordered to take back this painting, and I was strictly told not to bring up old things again. I am very ashamed to make an unfeeling request, and I have to take back this painting, and I will give you another New Year gift. I am in a hurry today, and the gift allows me a little Please send it in a few days later."

Andy opened his eyes slightly, and squinted at Wei Guoqiang, wondering what his intention was in making up such a story.Why is the development of the plot completely different from last night's speculation?But thinking of last night, thinking of Singularity reasoning with her, Andy's heart throbbed several times, and it was difficult to breathe calmly.

"I'm sorry, Andy, the old man was waiting for that painting to save his life."

"Very good. Knowing that his life is not good, I am relieved. Buddhists say retribution, and the best thing is retribution in this world. I am optimistic that it will be successful."

"Andy, his life is very miserable. His union with your grandma was completely forced, or even framed. He is a painting idiot. He lived in Haishi since he was a child and invited Western painters to teach him. He fled back to Daishan during the liberation. Due to various reasons of the times, he and his mother were the only teenager left in the family. Even though the family was in trouble, he still made pine smoke and ink and practiced hard on the wall. He once told me one thing, he has When he was criticized for the first time, he was pressed down and looked down. He accidentally saw the mildew stain on the limestone in the corner, which was very artistic. Copying, completely forgetting the pain of sticks and fists. He is such an idiot who doesn't know how to harvest, doesn't distinguish grains, doesn't care about customs, and doesn't care about emotions. There is a crazy girl who is good at cutting unexpectedly beautiful paper-cuts with bright red and green, and he desperately follows the crazy girl to learn the natural color matching. This kind of thing is completely innocent and natural to him, but in the eyes of people with ulterior motives He was framed as a rapist, paraded in the streets, and forced to marry a crazy woman. His mother was framed as an accomplice, criticized and censored in isolation every day. In order to save his mother to go home , He simply believed that as long as he admitted that he was in love with each other and married a crazy girl sincerely, the family would be able to get out of trouble. But people with ulterior motives played with him and forced him to present the facts to convince everyone. He was only 17 years old at the time, and he Believe it. When the child was born, his mother let him go home because of this, and he was two years older, and he realized that life had fallen into a more hopeless rut. Those seemingly distant things sounded simple, but every day One miserable day. He suffered until your mother went mad."

Andy read a lot of English books about that distant era. She thought those things were far away from her, and the mood of reading those books was no different from reading European history.But hearing all that was related to her, she couldn't close her eyes when she heard half of it, and was surprised to listen to Wei Guoqiang's calm narration.It was not until the end that I said: "That is thanks to you."

"Yes. When I was young and frivolous, I thought that I would never go home after taking root in the countryside, so I fell in love with your mother. Everything went well, but one day she slipped and fell into the river and almost drowned. After being rescued, she had a high fever. Yue, crazy. Seeing the daughter who has been brought up so hard go crazy, the old man almost went crazy. I almost went crazy too. I lived with the old man for a few days. He said that a crazy woman is a bottomless pit, and he didn't want to take a scapegoat. I admit that I was selfish at the time, and I ran away..."

"Did you know I was there when you ran away?"

"do not know."

"What will happen if you know?"

Wei Guoqiang fell silent.After a long time, he said: "After seeing her like her mother, I will force her to have an abortion."

Andy couldn't help shivering, but she insisted on asking: "Then what? Then how did you get together?"

"When I found out that your mother was pregnant, the old man had no choice but to go out to find me. It was not easy to go out at that time. There was no money, and you had to rely on various tickets for meals. He was an uncommon man who worked hard to beg all the way, and inquired all the way with limited clues. , When I found me, who was already in college, I was basically sick and dying. When he was discharged from the hospital, I was in debt. I found him a job as a school cleaner to live temporarily. He insisted on changing his name and surname, and worked as a temporary worker. Travel expenses back home. The reason for changing his name and surname was that he was scared by the fight, and he would rather be a person with amnesia in a place where no one knew him. Since then, he has touched paper and pen again, and picked up the painting that he never gave up. And his painting style is infused with many unimaginable elements, which is eye-catching. At that time, he painted the painting I sent you, and he sighed every day. But he never painted similar ones since then. Since then, he Finally tasted the dignity of a person, someone is willing to look at him. However, he is not an academic, still just a temporary worker who can paint, and still has no money. After saving enough travel expenses, he secretly went back to a village in his hometown of Daishan County, His wife has passed away, and the whereabouts of his daughter are unknown. He didn’t dare to stay for long, so he came back and continued to follow me, working as a temporary worker in the university. He didn’t understand anything, he only knew how to draw and enjoyed it. Later, I still took his paintings Asking experts to appreciate and invite people to support, it gradually became popular. It also means that I have some money. So he and I sneaked back to find someone again. We dare not say anything, only dare to ask quietly. The identity of gaining dignity was exposed. I heard that your mother was exiled from a mountain village to a county town dozens of kilometers away, and she was already dead. We thought you were dead too, and we ran out of money at that time, so we didn’t look for it anymore. Since then , that painting was put away by the old man, he didn’t dare to look at it anymore, he said he was a sinner. When I confirm your news, tell him that you are fine, he told me not to look for you again, he and I are ashamed See you. He was overwhelmed with guilt last night."

Andy heard that one eyebrow was raised and the other was lowered. His face was full of disbelief, but also full of shock.Wei Guoqiang said it too simply, and such a simple story has many incredible plots that need to be put in the background of that era to understand it well.Although Andy has read those books, she has nothing to do with herself when she reads them. She read them raw. When the books are ready for use, she needs to look through the memory to identify the authenticity.She was stunned for a long time before she said, "Sit down, I'll go home and get the painting for you."

"I'll go with you."

"Decline. Let you know my work unit, you have already made me restless."

"I can find out."

"It's your business to check, it's my business to lure wolves into the house. Wait."

Andy went out alone and took a taxi home to get the painting. He called his assistant to come down and take it up and hand it over to Wei Guoqiang. She had left before she returned to the office.She grabbed the phone from time to time, but put it down sadly. She subconsciously wanted to call Singularity to tell about the strange things that happened here, but she held back her hand. She had better research it by herself.

The Singularity has also been overwhelmed.All the men who came into contact with the women of the He family were overwhelmed and their lives were worse than death.She should stay away from the singularity and let the singularity survive.

If what Wei Guoqiang said is true, how can she bear to be in the same situation as the singularity, and how can she feel at ease.

In the afternoon, Singularity sent an email saying that the factory he was planning to build in the countryside encountered some policy issues, and he needed to rush to solve them.Andy responded to an email as usual, although he was thinking in his heart that in the past, he called her personally to tell her.So be it, good to all.

Qiu Yingying received a money order.These days, everyone who follows the trend uses private express delivery. For example, the online shopping business managed by Qiu Yingying uses private express delivery every day.These days, only people who live in backward small towns like Qiu's father and live in a marginal position will go to the post office to deliver parcels.Qiu Yingying didn't know what it was sent to. She only knew that she had received a text message from her father ten days ago, informing her that she was waiting to receive the package.She rushed to the post office during lunch time and brought a cardboard box. The contents in the box were quite heavy, Qiu Yingying estimated that it weighed about ten catties.

Regardless of the crowds at the post office, Qiu Yingying opened the cardboard box in the hall on the spot, and a wonderful fragrance came to her nostrils immediately.Homemade handmade sausage and bacon, specialty of her hometown, Qiu Yingying's favorite.Qiu Yingying could not wait to dance the primitive tribal dance three times around the cardboard box to celebrate, as if she could already smell the strong aroma of the oily and smooth bacon rice tonight.But Qiu Yingying understood her father's rules. She got into the cardboard box and searched carefully, and she found a letter from home under a piece of kraft paper with a different color on the side of the box.The post office does not allow mailing of parcels, and the Qiu family has their own ancestral recipe.

Of course, the family letter was written by Qiu's father who walked out of the mountain village with cultural knowledge.Qiu's father briefly described the several heavy snowfalls at home and the well-being of the family members, but told Qiu Yingying not to be too stingy in order to save money and make people in big cities look down on her.Now that you are an urbanite, you have to learn from urbanites in how you speak and behave.If you don’t have enough money, you must call home in time. Don’t ask anyone to borrow money. Borrowers are short of breath and despised by others... Qiu Yingying secretly sticks out her tongue and makes faces when she is at home. The back of the broad shoulders and the teeth and claws.At the end, Qiu Yingying burst into laughter. Her father said that sausages and bacon should not be exclusive, and must be shared with roommates. Only by doing so can one be decent and respected by everyone.After laughing, Qiu Yingying generously threw away the cardboard box, but carried a plastic bag of sausages and bacon back to the coffee shop in an unseemly manner.

Shops that sell coffee beans are naturally not allowed to have a strange smell, so Qiu Yingying wrapped up the sausage and bacon tightly and threw it under the cash register.However, someone has a dog nose.It was a young man who looked like bean sprouts, wearing a pair of glasses, and only wore a sweater and a jacket in the cold weather, so his sensitive nose was frozen into a translucent red.As soon as the man entered the door, he asked which coffee was stronger, and he wanted to buy stronger coffee.It happened that the store manager was not around, so Qiu Yingying picked out a spoonful of Italian blended coffee beans and showed the man, "This kind is bitter and exciting, and even the fragrance that comes out is refreshing." Sent by, Qiu Yingying passed a tissue box to the man.

The man shyly pulled a tissue to cover his nose, and then asked: "Twelve people eat and sleep in the company to catch up on a project, delivery before the Spring Festival, how much coffee do you think is enough?"

"It's for you? Buy three pounds first, and I'll grind it into powder for you, so you don't have to spend time grinding it. The coffee will not smell good after a long time, especially if it's ground into powder. After drinking it, go to Taobao. This address is very convenient. , so as not to waste time on the way out.”

"it is good."

Qiu Yingying waited for a long time without a word, only waiting for a credit card.She swiped her card and grinded the beans in a hurry.But after a while, she realized something was wrong. She turned her head and saw the man circled around the cash register. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"How can I smell the aroma of sausage and bacon? It's still the smell of my hometown."

"Haha, your nose is radar, my god. Where's the sausage bacon I just picked up from the post office. Where did you get it from?"

"The place name of my hometown is a little strange, so I'll write it for you." The man obviously has a serious personality, but it's a pity that the words he wrote are crooked like earthworms passing through the border.

Qiu Yingying took a look, "Ah, the city next door, we are almost fellow villagers. Wait a minute, I'll take a piece of sausage for you after finishing these. I don't send much from my family, and I'll share with others, so I can only give you one. .”

"But I don't even have time to go home to cook and eat before the Spring Festival. I can go home to eat during the Spring Festival. Depressed, thank you, I appreciate it."

Seeing the man's embarrassed face, Qiu Yingying said bluntly: "Then I won't give it to you, otherwise it will be like putting a cigar next to a quitter, and it will be more torturous. Leave a business card, and next time I place an order on Taobao, I will give it to you." I knew I was from my hometown."

When the man went out, the store manager just came back.The store manager waited for the door to close and said: "There are so many colds these days, another one. The one who went out just now must be a bachelor, and he has no girlfriend, and no one supervises the bath. It smells human."

Qiu Yingying laughed out loud when she heard this. With such a good nose, it turned out that she was so dark under the lamp that she couldn't smell her own odour.She looked at the business card carefully, and found that this person was Ying Qin, and he was actually an engineer from a well-known IT company.I really can't tell.
