Paper rose

Chapter 84
"It's so far away that you won't be able to see him in your life. Little vixen, my brother is gone. He is too eccentric. He didn't leave a single word for us, but he left so much for you." Shang Mingxing wailed loudly.

"Xingxing Shang," Bai Yan stood up vigorously, with a serious face, "I know you don't like me and your brother being friends, we have separated now, and I am married to someone else, what are you dissatisfied with. What do you want Curse me, don't curse your brother. Tomorrow he will be fine, fine, fine..."

Leng Feng held her hand, "Bai Yan, calm down."

She didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Leng Feng away, her eyes were cold, "You are also with her. Tell you, I don't believe your words, I don't believe it, I'm going to call tomorrow."

She swayed, walked straight to the door, opened the door, and went downstairs with a thud.

She walked like flying, and when Leng Feng and Shang Mingxing came to their senses and chased after her, she had already gone a long way.

Bai Yan walked without looking sideways, and met a colleague on the way.Colleagues greeted her, but she seemed to have never heard of her.

Turn the corner, go upstairs, and go straight to the operating room.

"Bai Yan, aren't you at Doctor Leng's place?" the head nurse asked her in surprise.

Without saying a word, she walked to the locker and took out the bag from inside. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even open the zipper. She turned around anxiously, took a pair of scissors, and cut the bag open.

She tremblingly took out the paper rose wrapped in plastic wrap, and unfolded it little by little.

The paper rose no longer existed, only pieces of red confetti, she stared at it fixedly.

"Bai Yan—" Leng Feng waved his hand to the surprised head nurse, and walked in cautiously.

She didn't move.

Leng Feng's eyes widened in astonishment, he saw a drop of blood dripping on the confetti, he lifted Bai Yan's face.She clenched her teeth tightly, and in an instant, two lines of blood marks appeared on her lips, and the blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

"Bai Yan, let go quickly." He pinched her cheek in a panic.

She looked at him with dazed, glazed eyes, her teeth slowly loosening.

"Bai Yan—" Leng Feng took a piece of gauze to wipe her lips distressedly.

"Don't try harder, don't hold on anymore, don't be a little strong anymore..." She murmured to Leng Feng, feeling her heart was breaking apart inch by inch, her body became very, very light...

No more.

Don't learn well, don't be clever, don't be self-respecting, don't work hard to find a home for yourself, don't find someone you like, don't be greedy for warmth, and don't let yourself live happily.

Everything is gone.

Nothing makes sense without tomorrow watching from afar.

In the past, she worked hard alone and wanted to give up on herself. She told tomorrow that she was a piece of duckweed scattered in the sea, and there was no difference between good and bad.Tomorrow smiled and shook his head, saying, we are one person, but divided into two halves.If you are not good, I will certainly not be good.

Now, close your eyes tomorrow and don't want her anymore.

Is she okay, and who is she related to?
The reason why Xiaoqiang can't be beaten to death is because he can't die. He has people he likes, and he wants to reassure the people he likes. It can't stand up straight, as long as it raises its head, it will laugh.

Tomorrow and her are lovers, brothers, fathers, friends, home, warmth, hope, and tomorrow.

Tomorrow will never come, she has no fear, no pain, she is just broken, like a paper rose, scattered on the ground, and can't be put together again.

"Bai Yan? Bai Yan? Bai Yan?" Leng Feng shook Bai Yan, and was shocked to find that there was no focus in her pupils, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

"Tomorrow, what happened?" She asked unconsciously.

"Crash." He wagged his fingers, trying to get her attention.

"That must be very painful." She sighed softly, her eyes fell on his face faintly, and she held her breath.

"Bai Yan, breathe, breathe..." He patted her cheek again.

Bai Yan looked at him straight, and suddenly his mouth puffed out, spewing out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed on Leng Feng's chest without hesitation.

Leng Feng supported her, ignored the redness on his chest, raised his arm, and wiped the corner of her mouth with his sleeve.

"White Goose..."

She leaned obediently on his shoulder, very quiet.

"Bai Yan..." He carefully supported her, trying to make her sit down.

She raised her head slowly, her eyes widened, she giggled suddenly, and held his hand tightly, as happy as a child, "I knew the star lied to me, she didn't like me, she didn't want to We are together and deliberately said that you ignored me. You won't ignore me tomorrow, right?"

The corner of Leng Feng's mouth twitched in pain.

"Tomorrow, why don't you talk?"

"Bai Yan, don't you know me?" Leng Feng asked tremblingly.

Bai Yan suddenly withdrew her hand in horror, "Who are you?" She looked around anxiously, "What about tomorrow?"

"Bai Yan, tomorrow he... is no longer here."

Bai Yan swayed twice, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

********

The new official took office three fires.

Leader Kang took office as the county magistrate of Yunxian County. He didn't set fire, didn't turn on electricity, and didn't even hold a meeting.He asked the county party committee office to find a car, took Jian Jian and several deputy county chiefs, and spent a week turning every inch of the land in Yun County.

While everyone in Yun County was waiting to see the new county magistrate, Kang Jian held a meeting of the county's bureau-level leaders and above.

At the beginning of the meeting, Leader Kang did not start with an opening remark, but went straight to the point.He proposed several big plans.

First of all, he wants to build a state-of-the-art theater in Yun County.Yun County is the hometown of Yue opera, which is an advantage.Now traditional art is beginning to be favored by people, and Yue opera fans from all over the country often travel thousands of miles to Yun County to watch it.He wants to make use of this advantage.Build theaters, build Yue opera training classes, rehearse classic repertoires, and increase publicity.Taking advantage of this advantage, it is necessary to promote the service industry and tourism industry in Yun County.

Watching a show, but only for one night, how can we make the people who come here stay for a few more days?Kang Jian said that Yun County has beautiful mountains and rivers, many lakes and lush fruit trees.This problem can be solved if an agricultural tourism belt is opened up in Yunxianxiao District.People in the city are now enjoying farm tours. They come to see rapeseed flowers in spring, pink plums and white plums, the waves of wheat in summer, fruit picking in orchards in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.A few hundred acres of fish ponds will be surrounded, so that people in the city can take a self-driving tour and learn from the ancients to fish and cultivate themselves.These are quick benefits, and the investment will not be too large.When the economy of the whole county reaches a higher level, it is necessary to increase the power of attracting investment and promote the industry.

In the end, Kang Jian said that within three years, Yun County's economy would also rank among the top in Binjiang City.

The bureau-level leaders present were all excited by the blueprint drawn by Kang Jian.These are not high-minded, and they are indeed tangible benefits.But before, how come no one thought of it?

After all, he is a young leader who has seen the world, and he has a far-sighted vision!

At the scene, several directors of the Tourism Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, and the Planning and Construction Bureau issued a military order to Kang Jian, patted his chest and said that the meeting was over, and began to list this plan on the top agenda for this year.

"As for the funding, I will fight for it upwards, and everyone can do it freely." Kang Jian took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and his mood was surging.

It was the first time that County Magistrate Kang made his debut, and it was a big win.

Back at the government guest house at night, when talking on the phone with Bai Yan, Leader Kang was in a very good mood.

In other words, although it is a small county to work in Yun County, but being able to be the master of the family is no more scruples than before. Kang Jian is full of enthusiasm. The only downside is that at night, he can't see or hold his wife. deserted.

He and Bai Yan are still newly married, they can't even stick together, and they have been separated for hundreds of kilometers, how could they not want to?

In the evening, curl up in the quilt, have a sweet phone conversation with your wife, and try to make up for some lovesickness!

As soon as the phone call was made, Bai Yan first acted coquettishly, and then reported to him one by one what happened that day, and then he also mentioned his own affairs a little bit.Bai Yan is too young, his work is heavy, boring and stressful, he doesn't want to spoil her mood.

After finishing their work, the two of them lowered their volumes tacitly.What I say at this time, outsiders will find it nasty and boring when they listen to it.

"Kang Jian, do you miss me?"

"Think!"

"Where do you think?"

"Anywhere."

"What can you do if you can't think of it?"

Leader Kang's blood ran like a tide, "I just look at your picture and kiss you."

"The photo is cold, what's there to kiss."

"Then I'll save my energy and kiss back together when I return to Binjiang."

"Can you save money on that?" Bai Yan asked curiously.

Leader Kang gasped and was speechless.

After hanging up the phone, Leader Kang had to fold the bed like pancakes for a while to calm down the heat on his body.Counting the days, he has been in Yun County for almost ten days. This weekend, he must go back to Binjiang, otherwise he will really go crazy.

The next day, Kang Jian finished his business and simply told him that he had no plans for the evening, so he nodded and called Bai Mumei.

It's time to visit her, both for business and private.

Bai Mumei was not surprised when she received Kang Jian's call, and the two of them made an appointment to have dinner at a restaurant next to the Cultural Complex.

As soon as the weather started to spring, Bai Mumei took off her heavy cotton coat and changed into a coat with a pinched waist. She wore a shawl around her neck with long tassels, which was very coquettish.

"Why do you want to work in Yun County?" Bai Mumei asked with an expressionless expression, not looking good and tired, not as coquettish as usual.

"Normal job transfer." Kang Jian didn't mention anything else, and asked her if she wanted red wine or white wine.

"Let's have some juice!" Bai Mumei called the boss over and told him to have a glass of freshly squeezed papaya juice.

Papaya nourishes and whitens the skin. Looking at Bai Mumei's well-maintained face, Kang Jian thought that she was really kind to him.

"Yun County is going to set up a Yue opera training center. You are a famous actor in the Yue opera world and have great appeal. Can you come over and be the director of the center?" Kang Jian asked.

"Me?" Bai Mumei raised her slender phoenix eyes, "Do I look like an official? You can find someone else, I want to perform, and I have my own etiquette company to take care of it, I don't want to worry about it."

"But aren't you working as a consultant for the Yue Opera Troupe in the provincial capital? Your etiquette company is in Yun County, so why travel around? The training center's remuneration will not be less than that of your consultant."

"Do things according to your mood, I don't care about how much more money is less." Bai Mumei gracefully took the papaya juice sent by the boss, and took a sip, "Besides, you have divorced Bai Yan, I don't need it Sell ​​your favor."

Kang Jian was really a little surprised. The tone of her words seemed to be angry at him for divorcing Bai Yan. Is it possible?
"I asked you to meet. Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I am going to remarry Bai Yan."

Bai Mumei raised her eyes, looked at him for a while, then said slowly, and asked, "Your parents agree?"

Kang Jian nodded, "Of course, what about you?"

Bai Mumei smiled sourly, curling her lips sourly: "My opinion is not important. She sent me a text message during the Chinese New Year, and it was forwarded by someone else, and the name of the person below was not deleted. I am old, and her wings are stiff. Don't beg me, think I'm ashamed, of course you don't need to take me seriously."

The implication was really strong, Kang Jian blinked in surprise, "No, Bai Yan doesn't want to disturb you considering that you have a lot of activities during the Spring Festival!"

Bai Mumei waved her hands, "Stop talking, I raised her, and I can see all the twists and turns in her intestines. She hates me, and I won't justify it."

"Bai Yan said that what can be cut is the umbilical cord, and what can't be cut is the blood source. For her, you will always be her mother."

"If she had a choice, she would rather be an orphan than a mother like me."

Kang Jian was stunned, Bai Mumei tonight made him feel unbelievable, like another person.

After the two of them finished their meal in silence, Bai Mumei got up and left. Before leaving, she paid the bill.

Kang Jian didn't know that Bai Mumei received the test report from the hospital today, which confirmed that she had a malignant tumor in one of her breasts.

Bai Mumei felt as if she had passed away, everything that was once closely related to her in her life became strange and indifferent.The yellow winter jasmine flowers blooming downstairs, the crispy and crispy snacks at the entrance of the alley, the exquisite fashions, accessories, perfumes and handbags in the window, and the melodious and melodious cries of vendors like mountain tunes, the street The handsome men who walked by and saluted her, seemed to turn around in an instant, turned their backs on her without any room for discussion, and left her on the side of the road, lonely, desperate, but helpless.

The doctor asked her to be hospitalized for surgery immediately, otherwise the cancer cells would spread and it would become very scary.During this period, it is inevitable to accept endless radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and to take medicine in large and small packages like eating.

What beauty, what confidence is there in a woman with her hair shedding into an ugly yet lovely bald man with a hideous scar across her chest?
How could she undress charmingly in front of men?
She refused treatment.

A woman is like a flower, so she will fall off once when the flower blooms, and don't wither one by one, that's too cruel.

How ridiculous, after she came out of the hospital, she didn't think of the men who had enriched her life. What she thought of again and again was the daughter who had severed her mother-daughter relationship and couldn't keep her warm.

Perhaps, she is the flesh and blood that fell from her body, which is the most real.

Kang Jian smoked a cigarette in the restaurant, remembering that Bai Yan mentioned the cultural compound where he lived when he was young, he wandered there.

The rusty-painted gate was ajar, and there was a dim light of light in the bungalows inside. In February, the temperature was still very low, and there was no one outside the gate.

He stepped into the gate and just walked around to the edge of a dilapidated basketball court. His eyes caught sight of a small courtyard full of people, including a few soldiers in sky-blue uniforms.

Kang Jian frowned, the color looked familiar.

"God doesn't have eyes, such a good child, no matter how he dies, he will die." A gray-haired woman came here while wiping her tears.

"Auntie, what happened to that house?" Kang Jian went up to him and asked.

The old woman raised her head to look at Kang Jian, shook her head, and sighed: "The merchant's son who was a pilot died during an exercise. His body was burnt to charcoal and he couldn't even recognize him. They just returned from the army. Returning from the funeral. Oh, what a pity!"

Kang Jian shivered suddenly, "He...is he called Shang Mingming?"

"Yes, twins, one is called tomorrow and the other is called star. I saw you born, who are you?"

Kang Jian waved his hand, turned around and ran out.After leaving the cultural compound, he called Jian Jian, "Hurry up, prepare a car for me, I'm going back to Binjiang."

It's still too late.

The night is like ink, and the spring is cold.

Standing in front of the hospital bed, Kang Jian saw Bai Yan lying down with a bloodless face, his eyes closed, his head tilted to one side, and he didn't know if he was in a deep sleep or in a coma.His heart was cut bit by bit by a not-so-sharp knife.He was too tired to speak a word, and his feet were a little floating.He leaned down and tucked her in the quilt, and found that one of her hands was clenched tightly.He looked up and could vaguely see a few pieces of red confetti.

"Don't touch it." Leng Feng said worriedly from the side, "Who will take it, she is desperately fighting with others like hysteria. I just gave her a sedative injection, and finally calmed down."

It was a broken paper rose, Kang Jian saw it.

There was no trace of tears on her face, but she was terribly pale, with drooping corners of her mouth, like an angry child.

Kang Jian touched her face, "Doctor Leng, let's talk!"

Leng Feng nodded, the two left the ward one after the other, Kang Jian carefully turned off the light.Liu Jing and Jian Jian stood in the corridor, Shang Mingxing leaned in a corner in horror.

Liu Jing rushed to the operating room when Bai Yan fainted.After a while, Bai Yan woke up, and then stared at the red paper in her hand in a daze. When someone approached, she tensed up and rushed towards her like a small animal.The ferocious expression on the little face made people feel distressed and painful.

"Leader Kang." Liu Jing looked at Kang Jian, not knowing how to comfort him.Leader Kang must be very sad that Bai Yan lost control because of other men.

Kang Jian nodded his head lightly, and his gaze fell on Shang Mingxing.

Shang Mingxing also looked at him timidly from under his eyes.
