After seeing the two of them off, Fang Zhiqiang began to arrange for his father to wash up and rest. I don’t know if it was Xiaoxiao or Liu Yan who did it, but the bed has been made and you can just lie down and sleep. There are many areas in the bathroom with non-slip mats, obviously specially prepared for Fang Zhiqiang's father. As long as Fang Zhiqiang brings his change of clothes, everything will be ready. Carrying bags and moving in is not as easy as them.

Fang Zhiqiang was very patient and serious in teaching his father how to use the water heater and how to use the toilet. There were no such things in my hometown in the mountains. My father was always amazed when he saw them. Fang Zhiqiang felt sour in his heart: These are just the most common things, but his father, who has lived for half his life, is like a primary school student and knows nothing about these. At that moment, Fang Zhiqiang secretly made up his mind: He would continue to work hard to let his father see more things in his lifetime.

After finally taking care of his father to take a bath, Fang Zhiqiang himself finished washing and lay down on the bed. After driving for so long, his whole body was sore and weak, but his mind was always clear.

Fang Zhiqiang knew that this room was the one where Li Xiaoxiao lived before. Even when he closed his eyes now, Fang Zhiqiang could still recall the previous layout and the The scene where he was joking with Li Xiaoxiao still had a faint scent on his nose. It was the smell of Li Xiaoxiao that he was most familiar with, and it couldn't be dissipated.

Fang Zhiqiang remembered that he had not called Li Xiaoxiao again, but for reasons and reasons, this call should have been made. Li Xiaoxiao had helped him so much that his father and he finally Being able to settle down in Shanghai, he could not repay this love. Moreover, Liu Yan also said that Li Xiaoxiao has been very busy recently, and she has to take care of her family and company alone, which makes Fang Zhiqiang very worried.

The phone rang several times before it was finally picked up. Li Xiaoxiao’s voice on the other end said in a low voice: “Hello?”

“Xiaoxiao, you’re not asleep yet. ?"

Li Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before replying: "No." Then he said: "I was busy at that time, so I didn't bother to answer your call."

Fang Zhiqiang said deliberately unhappily: "Then you really have no luck. Liu Yan cooked a large table of dishes, all of which were delicious. I originally called you to come over for dinner. But you didn't answer the phone. , you can’t blame me."

In the past, Li Xiaoxiao would have jumped up and made a fuss to quit, but this time, she was indeed unusually calm, and just said lightly: "Sister Liu Yan previously Just told me, I said I was busy and might not have time to go." Then he asked him: "Are you back? Uncle is with you?"

Fang Zhiqiang always felt that Li Xiaoxiao was not as good as before Enthusiasm, which made his mood drop, but when he heard Li Xiaoxiao ask this topic, he became happy again: "Yes. That's why I called you specifically to say thank you,Don't think it's just being polite, I really thank you very much. My dad is very happy. By the way, he kept asking why you didn't come. I told him that you were busy and would definitely come over when you had time..." Fang Zhiqiang kept talking. Seeing his father's appearance, he felt very happy and felt even more grateful to Li Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you, uncle. If I have time, I will definitely visit him. of. "Li Xiaoxiao said as if to promise.

Fang Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong with your voice? Are you crying again? what happened? "He heard Li Xiaoxiao's voice was muffled, and her tone of voice was listless, as if she was in a bad mood.

Li Xiaoxiao sniffed, paused, and then said: " It's okay, I have a little cold. "

No wonder her voice sounded very different from usual. Fang Zhiqiang blamed with some distress: "You can catch a cold in this weather. I really admire you. Why don't you take care of yourself at all? Moreover, your parents and the company are busy, and you yourself are sick. Isn’t this a mess? You must be tired because you are busy, right? Pay more attention to your body. How are your parents doing? "

"I understand, thank you, Hadron. "Li Xiaoxiao whispered. "My parents are fine too. ”

Fang Zhiqiang felt as if there was suddenly no topic between the two of them. In the past, Li Xiaoxiao was actively responsible for creating topics, or responded enthusiastically no matter what he said, but now she suddenly became cold. , Fang Zhiqiang suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and he said with some embarrassment: "Then if you feel uncomfortable, go to bed early. By the way, I still have the IOU that I haven’t given to you yet. I’ll send it to you another day. "

Li Xiaoxiao seemed to think about it for a while, and then said: "I will give you a call when I am free another day. ”

Fang Zhiqiang hung up the phone very depressed, and his originally very good mood was gone. He comforted himself: Li Xiaoxiao is indeed busy. She has grown up and needs to grow up. When she is older, even if she is a girl, she still has many burdens that need to be shouldered. Just thinking of Li Xiaoxiao’s tired look, Fang Zhiqiang’s heart still hurts involuntarily.

Li Xiaoxiao is probably really Although he was busy, he said that he would call another day when he was free, but he never received a call or came to see him. Fang Zhiqiang did not realize this, but he felt that his life suddenly seemed much more leisurely, and It was much duller, and something seemed to be missing every day. Obviously he still lived the same life as before. Even after his father came, his time was filled up. After work, he just bought groceries and went home to cook. The two of them saw TV. Basically, he didn’t have time to be bored, but he just felt that there was no taste at all.

Until this day, his father’s seemingly casual, but actually full of expectant words made him suddenly He seemed to have woken up. My father was very cautious at that time.Yi Di asked: "Why has Xiaoxiao not come over for so many days? I don't think she has called you either. Aren't you two quarreling and getting into trouble?"

In fact, every day When Fang Zhiqiang came back, his father couldn't help but look behind him. He looked thoughtful every day. He looked at the TV as if he was waiting for someone, and his mind was not on the TV. It's just that he has never been able to ask, and today he finally couldn't help it, so he asked Fang Zhiqiang.

"She is really busy, her parents are not feeling well at home, and there are many things to do in the company." Fang Zhiqiang used what he said to convince himself and told his father again. Then I suddenly realized that, indeed, it had been almost a week since he came back, but Li Xiaoxiao had never taken the initiative to make a phone call or visit him once. This was almost impossible before.

Fang Zhiqiang never waited for Li Xiaoxiao to come or call, but he received a very unexpected call, from Wang Xia.

"Fang Zhiqiang, have you come back from your hometown and lived in Xiaoxiao's old house with your father and enjoyed the blessings?" Wang Xia asked Fang Zhiqiang in a very unkind tone.
