It's quite interesting

The breeze is caressing, the sun is shining, the cement playground, the white-walled classrooms, the wooden tables and chairs, and you in your school uniforms seem to have returned to the old days.

At this time, Qi Yue was staring at the drawings in a trance, but was unexpectedly bumped by a small body and stumbled.

Chu Zhiyi, who was not far away, saw this and hurried forward to support Qi Yue.

"Are you okay, Qiyue?"

Qi Yue shook her head and looked at the person who bumped into her.

"I'm sorry," a thin little boy lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

The little boy must have been frightened, which is why he looked so uneasy.

Qi Yue smiled, squatted down, and put her hand on the boy's shoulder: "It's okay, kid."

This child reminded Qi Yue of them in the past. She wondered if her friends were this tall now. "Little boy, why did you come here by yourself? There are construction materials everywhere. It's dangerous if you run around."

The little boy looked at Qiyue and said with a smile, "Sister, my grandma said that the school is under construction, so I wanted to come and see it."

"Of course, you're welcome. But it's too chaotic here right now, very dangerous. It's best not to run around. Wait a few months, and then you can sit in the classroom."

"Sister, are you an architect? Did you build this house? I want to be an architect when I grow up so I can fix up lots of dilapidated houses so the kids can go to school."

Chu Zhiyi cleared his throat and said, "Little friend, you must study hard. As the saying goes, if you master math, physics, and chemistry, you can travel the world."

Qi Yue looked at the arrogant Chu Zhiyi and said, "We liberal arts students combine art and talent. We can see the daily necessities of life, but we also pursue poetry and distant places."

Chu Zhiyi used the drawing to block the sunlight above his head, made a playful expression and gave Qi Yue a thumbs up.

Qi Yue nodded in agreement and took out a small bag of candy from her bag. "Little friend, go home and wait for the architect to bring the design on the blueprint to you."

The child quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, sister, grandma said you can't take other people's things."

"Little boy, take it. It's given to you by the designer." Chu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

Just as the situation was at a standoff, an older man passing by saw the situation and said to the child, "Xiao Yangyang, take it. It's too messy here. Go home quickly and don't forget to thank your older brothers and sisters."

The child looked at the uncle, took the candy with a smile and said, "Thank you, brother and sister." He turned around and ran towards the little heads hiding not far away.

Qiyue looked in the direction she was going. It turned out to be the children who had come with her. They looked about the same size as Yangyang. Yangyang distributed the candies in his hand to the children and pointed in Qiyue's direction. The children held the candies in their hands and waved in Qiyue's direction with smiles.

Qi Yue looked at the children and felt that this unexpected trip seemed to have its meaning. After the final check-up this morning, Qi Yue and Chu Zhiyi were about to go back. Before they knew it, seven days had passed.

I simply packed my luggage and stood in the yard waiting for the pick-up vehicle.

Staff 1: "Sister, you're gone, but don't forget your brothers! These seven days have passed so quickly, we haven't even gotten to know each other again."

"Thank you for your care these days, brother. Our work is done, so we will go back first." Chu Zhiyi greeted politely.

Staff 1: "Brother, when I get back to the county, I'll come visit you when I have time. Then I'll come with my sister and we can get together."

Qi Yue smiled but said nothing.

Uncle: "The car is here, hurry up and grab your things and go back. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Uncle, thank you for your care during this period, as well as the care of the uncle and aunt. If you have any questions later, please call Xiao Chu at any time and we will continue to follow up."

Chu Zhiyi glanced at Qi Yue and said, "Uncle, don't worry, this is our studio. We guarantee you'll be satisfied."

The uncle's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "Satisfied, satisfied! As long as the kids can sit in the classroom in the fall, I'll be more satisfied than anything else."

The car moved forward slowly, and the gravel kicked up by the wheels hit the window from time to time. This sound was a welcome seven days ago, but now it was a farewell.

Sitting in the car and looking back at what happened, seven days was neither long nor short, but fortunately it passed safely. At this time, Chu Zhiyi was chattering non-stop next to Qi Yue, being very noisy.

Qi Yue put on her headphones and covered her eyes with her hat. "I'm really tired."

"Goodbye, Peace Village."

Mujin County.

"Qiyue, don't you want me to take you home?"

"No, I want to walk around by myself. You should go back early and have a good rest." After saying that, Qi Yue pulled the suitcase and walked forward before night fell.

"If you're not in a hurry, let's have a meal together." The words were drowned out by the honking of passing cars and drifted away in the warm air.

"She's really a unique girl. No wonder she deserves more attention."

Just as Chu Zhiyi was full of curiosity about Qi Yue, the cell phone rang.

"Hey, brother, I've called you so many times and told you I'll be back in the county today. I'm an adult, so why should you be worried about me?"

"Don't overthink it. I wanted to ask about the progress of the village project."

"Brother, you ask eight times a day, why don't you come in person?"

"I just want to remind you to be more serious. This is an important work project. Don't mess it up."

"I know, it's a key project that doesn't make money."

"I think you're a little tight. I'll loosen it up for you when you come back."

"No, no, I can't bear your eighteen kinds of martial arts."

"Shao Pin, your brother Shi missed you and said he would treat you to a meal when he comes back."

"He's not thinking about me, he's waiting for the results of my pioneering work, capitalist."

"By the way, brother, there was a girl who went with me. She was quite interesting, very quiet. I don't know how she got through the interview. I don't know what this design department was thinking, sending a girl to a place full of men. Are they that short of people?"

"Oh, you're trying to understand the people's sentiments. Just take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, a tall man on the opposite side of the pool table slowly leaned over and hit the billiard ball in front of him with force.

"It's quite interesting."

After returning home, Qiyue could finally have a good video chat with her mother. Because she was afraid that her mother would worry about her, she had been sending voice messages and making phone calls recently.

Qiyue told her mother everything that had happened in the past seven days.

"Yueyue, why didn't you tell your mother before you went? You're really brave. That's a place for men, and you, a girl, went there by yourself."

"Mom, that's nothing. Look, I'm back safe and sound. Besides, this is also work."

"Mom knows this is work, but you still didn't think it through and went there without even asking about the actual situation. You're a girl, and if something really happened, I don't think you'd be able to laugh it off. Luckily, there's a colleague named Xiao Chu. I've been grateful for his presence these past few days."

"Oh, Mom, we're all there for work, what could happen?"

"You're a child who's still inexperienced in the world. You should be on guard against others. If something like this happens again, you must tell your mother in advance. Remember?"

"Oh, Mom, I'm already so old, and you're still telling me like a child."

"No matter how old you are, you are still a child to me. Do you remember what I told you?"

"I know, Mom, I'll remember that."

"Okay, Mom won't talk to you anymore. Clean up and go to bed early. You must not have had a good rest these past few days. I think you've lost weight again."

Qi Yue made a "yes sir" gesture and hung up the video.

Mother Lan sat on the sofa, looking at Father Lan's photo, wondering what she was thinking at the moment.

After hanging up the video, Qi Yue thought carefully about what her mother said. She didn't feel much fear at first, but after listening to her mother's words, she actually felt a sense of fear.

"It seems that I am still young. I need to be more careful in the future."

After Qi Yue finished tidying up, it was already night. The skits randomly played on TV added a lively atmosphere to the quiet night. Perhaps only in an environment with sound would it not seem lonely.

Qi Yue likes to stay alone quietly.

Qi Yue checked to see if the door was locked. After checking that it was, she went into the kitchen, picked up a small pot, boiled water, and cooked noodles and eggs. Once cooked, she boiled more water, added seasonings, and when the water boiled, she added shrimp paste, crab meat, fish roe dumplings, noodles, and eggs. A pot of steaming seafood noodles was ready.

Qi Yue carried the whole pot and sat on the cushion next to the coffee table, with a cup of steaming soy milk next to her.

"It's a shame not to be a chef. It would be a waste of such good cooking skills."

Qi Yue’s cooking skills are limited to cooking noodles.

A quiet night, warm lights, funny variety shows, beautiful pots, creative cups, and Qi Yue wearing a down vest.

It is still very cold in May.

“If you are really sad today, just wait until tomorrow. When the sun rises tomorrow, everything will be better.”

Now it seems that these seven days have passed neither well nor badly.

Dudu

Staff 1: "Sister, you must have been home a long time ago, and you didn't even tell me."

Qi Yue looked up at the clock on the wall. It was a quarter past eight.

Qi Yue put down her phone, picked up her things and went to the kitchen.

Staff 1: "Sister, you went to bed really early. We still have to stay here for a while. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be shy."

"Sister, wait until I get back to Mujin and I'll take you around. There are a lot of delicious foods here."

Qi Yue, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, put down her phone, checked the doors and windows again, made sure they were locked, and prepared to go to bed. This is what Qi Yue, who lives alone, must do before going to bed every night.

Dudu

"Boss, didn't you say you were going home today? Have you returned yet? I'm not looking for you, and you're not looking for me!"

"Boss, this is not very considerate of you. You didn't reply to my message again."

"Okay, leader, go to bed early."

"In the information age, too much information is also a burden."
