After working for more than half a month, it was rare for him to be free. After get off work, Zhou Jing returned home. The family sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

During the dinner, Yuan Xiuhua suddenly changed the subject and whispered, "By the way, you probably don't know that the young couple upstairs got divorced."

Zhou Xueming was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Divorce? When did it happen?"

Yuan Xiuhua took a bite of food and whispered, "The formalities were completed last week, and Jiani has already moved back to her mother's house."

Zhou Xueming frowned, and said puzzledly: "The relationship between the young couple has always been good, so how can we leave?"

Yuan Xiuhua smiled and said softly: "To be honest, with Jiani's appearance and character, it's a pity to follow Fan Weifeng. It's better to leave sooner."

Zhou Xueming nodded, shook his chopsticks and said, "Weifeng is not very up-to-date, he just idles around all day, and he has no real job!"

Yuan Xiuhua snorted, and said in agreement: "That's right, it's only been a few days since the divorce, and he's trying to sell the house. It won't be long before he loses everything!"

Zhou Xueming put down his chopsticks, and said sullenly, "I grew up with this child. A few years ago, I thought he could become a talent, but I didn't expect that he would become like this."

Yuan Xiuhua sighed, and said resentfully: "No matter what kind of person, as long as he gets involved in gambling, there will be no good results. If he doesn't get rid of this bad habit, don't let him work in the agricultural machinery factory, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

Zhou Xueming waved his hand and said softly: "No, when this child is in despair, let's find a way to help, not to make trouble, that's not good."

Yuan Xiuhua chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Okay, Factory Manager Zhou, you are a good man, and you will have a good chat with him another day. Don't sell the house. Otherwise, you won't even have a place to stay in the future. How can you live?" ?”

Zhou Xueming nodded, and said softly: "We should talk to him. This Fan Weifeng, I don't know what he thinks. It's shameful to live a good life like this."

Zhou Jing listened silently, without saying a word, quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, went back to the bedroom, picked up the two clay figurines on the bedside table, and played with them, feeling very complicated.

On Saturday morning, Zhou Jing rode his bicycle and returned to the rental house. As usual, he took a broom and began to clean the courtyard. In the past, he made an appointment with Li Jiani to do the cleaning together. This time, he came alone, and he felt very special. deserted.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Jing raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and inadvertently found that Li Jiani was leaning against the door, looking at him silently.

She was wearing a small pink blouse and a long dark green skirt with a beautiful waist, and a pair of white arms were exposed outside, as elegant as a lotus flower, but there was an unconcealable melancholy on that pretty face.

The two stood there like this, staring at each other quietly, without speaking. After a long time, Li Jiani sighed, walked slowly, passed him by, walked to the edge of the window sill, and stretched out her hand to clean it. The dishcloth entered the room coquettishly.

Zhou Jing smiled, bent down again, waved the broom, and cleaned vigorously. It didn't take long before the yard was cleaned up.

He put the broom on the wall, picked up a red plastic basin, fetched a basin of clean water, and came into the house, but saw Li Jiani standing on the window sill, cleaning the window, Zhou Jing put the basin on the window sill, and said softly : "Miss Jiani, how are you doing recently?"

Li Jiani paused, let out a breath, and said softly: "It's okay, at least, I'm much more at ease when I sleep at night, and I don't have to worry about strangers breaking in."

Zhou Jing rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "Sister Jiani, are you still blaming me?"

"No." Li Jiani smiled faintly, bent down, washed the rag, and whispered: "I've read all those materials, Xiaojing, I've made you worry."

Zhou Jing felt relieved and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I hope I can help you."

Li Jiani gave him a blank look, and said nunuzui: "If you want to help me, it's too simple, don't stand there stupidly, the windows to the west are all yours."

"Okay." Zhou Jing was in a good mood, picked up a few old newspapers, and walked over with a smile.

Half an hour later, under the busy work of the two, the inside and outside of the ancestral house was tidy and tidy, giving it a brand new look.

After washing their hands, the two of them came to an old locust tree in the yard, and stopped at the same time. Li Jiani turned around and said softly, "Xiao Jing, how are you doing at China Merchants, are you going well?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, the leader treats me well."

Li Jiani smiled sweetly, stretched out her arms, and said coquettishly: "That's good. When you get to work, it's no different than school. You have to be careful when you do things, and you must not offend the leaders, otherwise, you will never have a bright future."

Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, leaned against the tree, and said softly, "Sister Jiani, when are you going to Lingnan? Or, I will ask for leave in a few days and go with you."

Li Jiani waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, now is the peak season, the business of the clothing store has improved, and it can last for a while, not to mention, you will leave a bad impression on the leader if you ask for leave as soon as you arrive at the new unit. "

Zhou Jing smiled, and said softly: "When I arrived at the unit, I suddenly found that many people were doing their jobs, just coping with things, and just dawdling around."

Li Jiani raised her greasy chin, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully: "It may be that there is no motivation, and the leaders of the unit may still want to make some achievements. The people below will not benefit, and they will not see hope. Positivity."

Zhou Jing nodded and said with a smile: "There is indeed such a factor."

Li Jiani hesitated to speak, and after a long while, he hesitated and said: "Xiaojing, have you seen him these days?"

"Who?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Brother Fan for a long time, are you still thinking about him?"

Li Jiani shook her head slightly, and said sadly: "No, I'm just a little worried. He doesn't know how to take care of himself, and he doesn't know how embarrassed he is now."

Zhou Jing sighed, and said softly, "That's nothing to do. If he doesn't work hard, even gods can't save him."

Li Jiani fell silent, thought for a long time, and then quietly said: "As long as you don't gamble, there is still hope, Xiao Jing, have you mentioned to your uncle that he went to work in the agricultural machinery factory?"

Zhou Jing frowned, and said softly, "I've already said it, if you're worried, I'll press you again in a few days. However, I heard last night that he was trying to sell the house, which is not a good sign."

Li Jiani was stunned, and lost her voice: "Really?"

Zhou Jingjing nodded, and said with some concern: "I'm afraid he will take the money and go to the casino again."

Li Jiani looked sad, hesitated for a long time, then lowered her head, and said sullenly: "Forget it, don't worry about it, let him make trouble."

Zhou Jing smiled, and said softly: "You are just stubborn, so I will go over to see him at night and try to persuade him, so I should feel at ease?"

Li Jiani bit her lip and whispered: "Xiaojing, I want to go back and have a look. After all, I have lived for many years and have feelings for that house."

Zhou Jing understood what she was thinking, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he walked to the wall, pushed the bicycle, and said softly, "Okay, Sister Jiani, let's go over here."

Li Jiani sat in the back seat, stretched out her arms, wrapped Zhou Jing's waist naturally, and said softly, "Xiao Jing, sister Jiani was in a bad mood that day and said something that was too much, don't be angry."

"How could it be?" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, riding his bicycle slowly, and said in a low voice: "I did something wrong in that matter."

Li Jiani frowned, put her cheek on Zhou Jing's back, and murmured: "Xiao Jing, I don't want to lose you as a brother, let's be sisters and brothers for the rest of my life, okay?"

Zhou Jing was a little disappointed, but still nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, our friendship will definitely stand the test of time."

Li Jiani smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Xiaojing, if you can say that, my sister is really happy."

Ten minutes later, when he came to the community, Zhou Jing parked the car and accompanied Li Jiani to the third floor. He knocked on the door a few times and waited for a while, but there was no response from inside, so he turned his head and said, "Should Is not at home."

Li Jiani took out the key, opened the door, and walked in quietly, but saw that the room was in a mess. On the living room table, bowls of instant noodles were placed in a mess, and cigarette butts were thrown everywhere. Her eyes turned red and she almost cried.

Zhou Jing entered the room, looked around, shook his head slightly, and packed up together with Li Jiani.

The two cleaned the room, Li Jiani washed the clothes, sat in the room for a while, took out a stack of money, put it on the bedside, came to the door, turned her head and glanced, and said with tears: "Little Jing, let's go, this is the last time I'm back."

Zhou Jing walked over, hugged her gently, patted her on the back, and whispered: "Sister Jiani, if you want to cry, you can cry, it might be more comfortable."

"Xiaojing!" Li Jiani bit her lip and said nothing, her tears flowed down like broken pearls, after a long time, she touched a tissue, wiped her cheeks, and said softly: "Okay, I feel much better gone."

Zhou Jing let go of his hand and accompanied her downstairs until he walked to the gate of the community. Seeing that she had adjusted her mood, he left.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jing came to the third floor again and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, Fan Weifeng pushed open the door and said with a mouthful of alcohol, "Xiaojing, come in."

Zhou Jing walked into the room and said softly, "Brother Fan, sister Jiani and I came here this afternoon."

Fan Weifeng nodded, and said lightly: "Understood, besides her, who else cares about me like this?"

Zhou Jing pulled a chair and sat down, frowned and said, "Brother Fan, I heard you're going to sell the house?"

Fan Weifeng smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, nodded and said: "That's right, but don't worry, I won't gamble this time."

Zhou Jing didn't believe it, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to do business?"

Fan Weifeng shook his head and said sadly: "No, I want to change my environment and live a new life."

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, and persuaded softly: "Brother Fan, if you are not in a hurry to spend money, then don't sell the house. As long as you can quit gambling, after a while, I will arrange for you to work in the agricultural machinery factory."

Fan Weifeng blew out a smoke ring, looked at the ceiling absently, shook his head and said: "No need, Xiaojing, thank you, but I don't need it now, I want to leave Qingyang and go around the country to relax, maybe, It will take many years to come back."

Zhou Jing saw that his attitude was firm, so he stopped admonishing him, chatted for a while, and got up to leave.

When Fan Weifeng arrived at the door, he suddenly grabbed Zhou Jing's hand and said softly, "Xiao Jing, I have something to ask you."

Zhou Jing stopped and said in surprise, "Brother Fan, what's the matter?"

Fan Weifeng turned his head away, and said softly: "Go and see more in the future, take care of Jiani, and don't let her be bullied."

Zhou Jing nodded and whispered: "Don't worry, I will."

"Thank you." Fan Weifeng closed the door, finally couldn't control his emotions, squatted down, held his face in his hands, and cried like a child.
