It rained all night yesterday, with snow particles mixed in with the rain. Today the temperature dropped to several degrees below zero, and the roads were covered with a thick layer of ice.
Song Xijiao was wearing Stella Lou's coral fleece pajamas, sitting cross-legged next to Pei Zhiting, listening to him talk about the past one by one.
Many images flashed through her mind.
She thought about the laptop she had posted on Weibo, and the next day someone contacted her, saying that a batch of computers donated by anonymous people had arrived and asked her to go and pick them up.
She also posted on Weibo at the time, saying that there are still many good people in the world.
She suddenly reached out and hugged him, "Pei Zhiting, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Pei Zhiting patted her back gently, "Jiaojiao, I never thought of telling you that I don't want to play the victim or use it to repay a favor so that you will be with me out of gratitude."
At half past six, the sleet turned into moderate snow. Thick snow was piled on the branches on both sides of the road, and from time to time pieces of snow fell to the ground, making a bang bang sound.
After stealing a half-day of leisure, they waved their hands and decided to give the entire company a holiday out of consideration for the safety of all employees.
Pei Yu's home.
He got up trembling, picked up the phone from his frozen hand, and then Pei Zhiting sent him a WeChat message.
"Today is a holiday, you don't have to come to work."
"?"
"Everyone in the company is closed. The roads are icy and slippery due to the snow. We are closed today."
Pei Yu was so excited that he rolled into bed and hugged Shi Xiaoyu to take a nap.
Shi Xiaoyu pushed him away and said, "Hey, if you don't go to work, I still have to go to work!"
When Pei Yu received the notice of vacation, she also received a notice from her leader.
They were not afraid of danger and faced challenges head-on. They loved their jobs and were dedicated to their work. What did it matter if it snowed or iced? At that time, they would go to work as usual even when it was hail.
Pei Yu: "...How old is your leader?"
"Over fifty, what's wrong?"
"That time was thirty years ago, right?"
"About the same. He was working in the 1990s."
Pei Yu: "...this is a different time. He goes to work to get paid, not to work for your company. He doesn't advocate dedication and hard work, but advocates moral blackmail. What kind of man is he? What kind of leader is he?"
"This is a crappy job. I suggest you fire your boss. Since we have a day off today, I'll help you move."
“…”
After his girlfriend went to work, Pei Yu drove directly to her company, helped her write her resignation letter, and helped her move her things.
"You're crazy! Who asked you to help me quit?"
"I've submitted your resume to Xiting International. With your abilities, you'll definitely be accepted," Pei Yu said as he drove. "The pay is better, and most importantly, we can commute to get off work together and spend all the holidays together."
"Who wants to go to get off work and spend holidays with you?"
"I want to go to and from get off work with you and spend all the holidays with you."
"Year after year, year after year, I want to be with you."
“…”
"Who wants to live with you!"
Pei Yu smiled and kept silent.
He has a long way to go, and he is willing to take the time to let her accept him slowly.
Just like my uncle.
It took my uncle fifteen years to get what he wanted, and he is willing to spend even longer waiting for his beloved to agree.
Pei Zhiting was madly in love back then, but she trusted the wrong man. After she became pregnant, the man ran away with her money.
She has type O blood. If she doesn't have the first child, she will be prone to hemolysis if she has children later. In severe cases, this may lead to the death of the newborn or death of the pregnant woman from heavy bleeding.
Pei Zhonghuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Give birth to the child and we, the Pei family, will raise him."
Pei Zhiting threw himself into Pei Zhonghuan's arms and burst into tears.
Pei Zhiting didn't tell him the man's name, and said:
It is a foregone conclusion that he has failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Even if he comes back one day, I will never forgive him, and I will never let Pei Yu bear the so-called responsibility of his son!
Pei Yu didn't ask either. He didn't want to know who the irresponsible man was.
He is six years younger than Pei Zhiting, and they have never addressed each other as uncle and nephew.
But he will always remember that someone called him a bastard without a father.
Pei Zhiting fought with the man, took him back, treated his wounds, and sent him home, talking to him along the way.
"Pei Yu, remember, you are not a bastard. You are a child of the Pei family, our treasure."
"If someone says that to you again, you have to beat them back. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's your uncle's."
On the day his mother remarried, he locked himself in the room and refused to eat or drink. It was Pei Zhiting who called him out, took him out for a drink, and talked to him about many things.
He said, "Pei Yu, life is long, and you will meet many people."
"Your mother didn't abandon you. She has a different path to take. She can't walk with you forever. You have to walk the rest of the way alone, bravely and strongly."
“…”
At the age of 20, knowing that Pei Zhiting was in the United States, he bought the nearest plane ticket and flew to the United States without saying a word.
He searched many places but couldn't find Pei Zhiting. He even went to Chinatown and worked for many days before he finally learned Pei Zhiting's whereabouts from someone.
It was raining heavily that day.
Pei Zhiting was wearing a thin shirt and carrying boxes of beer in the rain.
He ran over quickly, looked at the wet box, and quickly took off his clothes to cover it.
"Why don't you hold an umbrella?"
"The umbrella is broken."
"Why don't you buy a new one?"
Pei Zhiting didn't say anything, picked up the beer and walked into the supermarket. He also picked up the beer and followed him in.
They moved for more than an hour. Later, the rain stopped and Pei Zhiting went back to move another stool.
"It's not that the umbrella is broken, it's that I don't have money to buy a new one."
Pei Zhiting sat on a stool, lit a cigarette, looked at his wet clothes, and frowned.
"You shouldn't have come."
"Can't I even come?" Pei Yu's eyes were sore and bitter. "Uncle, why didn't you write to me? Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you tell me that you were having such a hard time?"
"You know it, everyone in the Pei family knows it, I don't want to give up halfway."
Pei Zhiting took a deep puff of cigarette, looked at the tall buildings opposite, and smiled.
"One more year, one more year, and I'll be completely free."
The air abroad is not good at all. After the rain, it is damp, cold and smelly.
They smoked a whole pack of cigarettes.
Pei Zhiting found two more part-time jobs. He originally thought that Pei Yu was just coming to see him and would leave after a week.
A week later, Pei Yu dropped out of school, and Pei Zhiting got really angry for the first time.
Pei Yu said, "Uncle, if you don't leave, I can't go back alone."
Pei Zhiting was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand to hit him, but when his hand was halfway raised, it dropped down weakly.
"Pei Yu, you are forcing me!"
"Yes, I am forcing you. Not only will I force you, I will also live in the doghouse with you, wash dishes with you, and deliver takeout with you!"
