Dad is here

Chapter 29

Xu Luofeng stayed in Harbin for a few days. Apart from going to the cooperative unit to discuss matters, he went to the construction site to supervise the work every day.Winter started early in the north, and the temperature was extremely low. In order to complete the construction before the ground froze, Xu Luofeng and the person in charge of the cooperative unit almost soaked in the construction site to discuss the construction plan, and a week passed without knowing it.

While eating lunch at noon that day, Xu Luofeng heard Chang Zhibin calling his wife.

"I'm looking at the weather. There's strong cold air going south. Pay attention to adding clothes to Xiaowei. Don't catch a cold. The cross-infection in the kindergarten is very serious. As long as a child catches a cold, the child with weak resistance will be easily caught... ..."

Xu Luofeng turned on his mobile phone and searched the weather of City J. Sure enough, there was a strong cold air from the north, and the highest temperature suddenly dropped from 18 degrees the day before to 8 degrees.

He put down his lunch box and walked out of the simple work shed, and called Mu Fengying.

This week, Mu Fengying did not receive any phone calls or text messages from Xu Luofeng, nor did she "encounter" him by chance, but she was not at all relaxed in her heart, and there were always some messy emotions in the turmoil.

She was having lunch when she received a call from Xu Luofeng. In the crowded small noodle restaurant next to the cherry wedding, Mu Fengying and Deng Rou sat facing each other and ate noodles. incoming calls.

Mu Fengying swallowed a mouthful of noodles slowly, and answered the phone after thinking for a while.To her surprise, there was a strong wind sound from him, whirring, like standing by the sea.

Under Deng Rou's gaze, Mu Fengying said softly, "Hello."

"it's me."

Xu Luofeng's voice was mixed with the sound of the wind, and it was a little unclear. Mu Fengying frowned: "What's the matter? It's very windy in your place."

Xu Luofeng stood in an open area, behind him was a simple shed, and in front of him was a long road construction site.The temperature in Harbin was very low. He was wearing a short black coat, his hair was disheveled by the wind, and his face was in pain.

"I'm on a business trip in Harbin." He said simply, and quickly got to the point, "The temperature in J City has dropped, you and Xiao Tao should keep warm."

Hearing that Mu Fengying remained silent, he said again: "I heard from my colleagues that the cross-infection in the kindergarten is very serious. Some children have caught a cold, and children with weak resistance are prone to infection, so you should pay attention to adding clothes to Xiaotao. And ..."

Mu Fengying continued to listen silently.

Xu Luofeng, "And yourself, you just got sick a few days ago, don't be careless."

The whistling wind always enveloped his voice, and for some reason, his tone was so gentle that Mu Fengying felt that she was hallucinating.

Xu Luofeng waited for a while, then called her: "Yingying, are you listening?"

Mu Fengying said dully: "Ah..."

"what are you doing?"

"eat noodle."

"..." He suddenly felt embarrassed, and his tone returned to the cold, "There is nothing else, I hung up."

He said to hang up, but didn't hang up. He pressed the phone tightly to his ear, always feeling that she would say something.

Mu Fengying had been waiting for him to hang up the phone, but she didn't hear the "beep" sound. She knew he was still there, and the two of them stalemate for a while, she said: "I see, I will add clothes to Xiaotao. You are here It should be quite cold in Harbin, you... also pay attention to keeping yourself warm."

Xu Luofeng: "..."

Mu Fengying couldn't continue: "I'm dead, bye."

After another few seconds of confrontation, she finally retreated and pressed the end call button before him.

Mu Fengying threw away the phone in a panic, and Deng Rou looked at her teasingly: "What's the matter with you now?"

Mu Fengying's eyes flickered: "It's nothing."

"Come on, under no circumstances would you say to him so nicely, 'You also keep warm'!"

"Who is so loud..." Mu Fengying buried her head in her mouth, and she found to her annoyance that her confidence was indeed lacking.

After Chang Zhibin made the call, he found that Xu Luofeng had disappeared. He only ate half of a box of lunch, so he went out of the shed to look for him. From a distance, he saw him standing by the construction site, bending over to study the soil on the ground.

"Manager Xu, hurry up and eat, there is heating in the room, it's too cold outside."

Xu Luofeng took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "I'll come out for a cigarette."

Chang Zhibin walked up to him, looked at the barren land, and asked, "This project can't be completed before the frozen ground."

"Not necessarily." Xu Luofeng said, "Try to recruit workers again. Skilled workers are required, and wages are increased. If the work is not completed before the frozen ground, it will be delayed until March next year."

Chang Zhibin nodded.

Xu Luofeng suddenly thought of something, and asked him: "You said that day that you were going to buy a gift for your daughter, when are you going to go?"

Chang Zhibin felt embarrassed: "I just said it casually. I'm on the construction site every day, so I don't have time at all."

Xu Luofeng said: "Let's ask them to arrange a car for us this afternoon and take a trip to the city. It's rare to come here. We must bring something for the child. Don't disappoint her."

Chang Zhibin was so excited that he almost cried. He found that Manager Xu had changed a lot in the past month. The most obvious thing was that he had become more humane.

In the afternoon, the cooperative unit arranged a car for Xu Luofeng, and the driver took them to Harbin Central Street.Chang Zhibin originally thought that Xu Luofeng would separate from him and let him choose gifts by himself, but he didn't expect Xu Luofeng to stay with him all the time.

With a calm expression, he said, "I'll also go shopping and buy something for my family."

It's really strange for two men to go shopping together. In the shopping mall, Chang Zhibin saw many Russian-style decorations and toys, and his goal gradually locked on Russian dolls.

He happily chose a nesting doll, opened it layer by layer, and was dissatisfied when he saw the fourth layer.

"It's too rough, is there anything better?"

The salesperson brought him another set of dolls. It was a big red doll with uniform and bright paint color and exquisite workmanship. There were 10 dolls of all sizes, and even the smallest one inside was very beautiful.

Chang Zhibin was very satisfied and asked, "How much?"

The salesperson replied lazily: "380."

"So expensive!" Chang Zhibin was speechless, "The one just now was only 30 yuan."

"The quality is completely different. This one is imported from Russia, and that one is domestically produced."

Chang Zhibin tried to bargain: "Sell it for 200 yuan?"

"Minimum 300."

Chang Zhibin thought about it, but in the end he didn't make a move, and bought a 30 yuan doll.

Xu Luofeng stood by the side all the time. When Chang Zhibin went to pay, he watched the salesperson accepting the red doll and said, "I want this, wrap it up."

Chang Zhibin bought some more Harbin red sausage, Xu Luofeng was not interested in eating, but saw a very delicate mirror, so he quietly bought it.

In the evening, people from the cooperative unit invited them to dinner. Chang Zhibin told them about buying dolls. A local technician laughed and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense, what is imported from Russia? It's all from Zhejiang. The ones produced by the other side are different in level of detail. How much did you buy? 30? That’s okay, not too many slaughtered. Let me tell you, many people from your place spend hundreds of dollars to buy a wooden doll to go back. It’s called a big silly hat! Hahahahaha... Hey, Manager Xu, why do you look so ugly? Is it because you are not used to this liquor?"

Xu Luofeng: "..."

Xu Luofeng spent his 27th birthday in Harbin. He didn't tell the people here that he was as busy as usual all day long.In the evening, something happened on the construction site. He and Chang Zhibin accompanied the people from the cooperative unit to deal with it. After being so busy, they didn't even have time to eat dinner.

When he returned to the hotel room, it was already 9:[-] in the evening. There were several missed calls on Xu Luofeng's mobile phone. He called back one by one, including Lu Yunfan, Cheng Xu, Lin Weiwei... They said happy birthday to him, and Xu Luofeng said lightly :"thanks."

After taking a shower, he felt hungry, and looked through the edibles in the room, only instant noodles and ham sausage.He called the front desk to order food, and the other party told him that the hotel restaurant was closed and the chefs were off work.

At night, the outdoor temperature in Harbin was minus ten degrees. After all, Xu Luofeng didn't have the courage to go out for food, so he boiled water to make instant noodles.

While eating noodles, he received a call from Luo Yuqun.

That was his mother, they hadn't been in touch for a long time.

"Luo Feng." Luo Yuqun called him softly, with a somewhat nervous and restrained tone, "Did I bother you?"

Xu Luofeng didn't answer, but just asked: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. Today is your birthday. Mom wishes you a happy birthday." Luo Yuqun's voice was very thin. He was obviously in his fifties, but he unconsciously carried a girlish coquettishness when he spoke.

Xu Luofeng was stunned for a moment, then replied coldly: "Are you done, I'll hang up after I'm done."

After hanging up the phone, facing a bowl of instant noodles, Xu Luofeng lost his appetite at all.

He turned on the TV to make a sound, took a can of beer and opened the pull tab.

Walking to the window, he opened the curtains and looked out, only to find that it was snowing.

The snow in the north is different from that in the south. There are large expanses of dry snowflakes flying in the air, which are particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the night.

Xu Luofeng suddenly remembered the morning of the first snow many years ago, she was standing by the window wearing his pajamas, when she turned her head and saw him, she laughed, her eyes were full of joy: "Luo Feng, Luo Feng, look, it's snowing! "

She even stretched out her hands to catch snowflakes outside the window, but the snow in J City is usually mixed with rain, and when it landed on her hands, it immediately turned into water. She didn't catch anything, so her mouth curled up.But after only being annoyed for a while, she was happy again.

"I don't know if the snow can fall heavily. I really want to have a snowball fight." Her eyes were shining, and she smiled very cutely.

five years.

Thinking about it, Xu Luofeng closed the curtains again with a "swipe".

It wasn't until mid-November that Xu Luofeng settled the matter in Harbin and returned to City J with Chang Zhibin.

He never found a chance to give that doll to Mu Xiaotao, so he put it in the trunk of the car.

A few days after returning to J City, it was Lin Weiwei's father's 55th birthday.The Lin family held a small birthday party for Father Lin in their restaurant. As Father Lin's friend for many years, Xu Pingchuan naturally wanted to attend, and Xu Luofeng was Lin Weiwei's boyfriend in name, so of course he couldn't avoid it.

He hadn't seen Lin Weiwei for a long time, and the two of them had almost no contact. Lin Weiwei also felt Xu Luofeng's indifference. She took the initiative to communicate with him, but to no avail.

Xu Luofeng wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to speak to Lin Weiwei clearly.

He bought Father Lin a birthday present, a high-quality Changbai Mountain ginseng, and on the day of the birthday party, he took the gift to Lin's restaurant.

Xu Luofeng met Lin Weiwei. She was dressed up very beautifully that day. As Father Lin's only daughter, she was warmly entertaining the guests in the banquet hall.

Lin Weiwei greeted Xu Luofeng happily when he saw Xu Luofeng. Just in time, a guest came to say hello to her. Seeing Xu Luofeng beside her, he asked, "Weiwei, who is this?"

Lin Weiwei took Xu Luofeng's arm with a smile and said, "Auntie, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Xu Luofeng."

On this day, Xu Luofeng was wearing a dark suit, with a clean and straight figure, and an extremely handsome face. He couldn't refute Lin Weiwei's words in public, so he just stood there with a sullen face.

Xu Luofeng never expected that he would meet Mu Fengying who came with You Xinyang at Father Lin's birthday party.
