In the silent place

Chapter 41 Thunder on the Ground

At noon that day, after Jiang Ping returned to the company from the Liuqizhuang Hotel, he sat in front of the computer and was dazed for a long time.In the evening, Zhan Zhao called him and said that the nasal mucosa was a little inflamed, so he didn't have to worry.Zhan Zhao's voice was as warm and peaceful as usual, and it didn't sound like there was anything serious about it, but he always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why.The fifth brother often said that he likes to think about it when he has nothing to do, and it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.Jiang Ping shook his head and laughed at himself.

"Mr. Jiang, the client from Dingchen Garden just called again, saying that the design this time is not as good as the first design, and wants to read the first drawing again. But I just looked for it, and the first There is no archive of the set of design drawings in the computer. Can you see if you have any more here?" Liang Yun in the office stood in front of Jiang Ping's office with a folder in his arms, and told Jiang Ping about the client's requirements.

Another thorny customer of Dingchen Garden!Jiang Ping was upset for a while, since he took over the business from this client years ago, in less than three months, he had already designed five sets of decoration plans for her, but none of them was of her liking.Now go back to see the first set? "Didn't the archives be handed over to Liu Fu for management?"

"Yes, I just went to his place to check, no."

"Go and call the client back first and say that I will contact her as soon as possible."

"Okay, got it." Liang Yun nodded, turned around and walked back to the big office outside.

He should still have the design drawings from three months ago.Turning on the computer, Jiang Ping began to search for the first set of blueprints designed for this client.

"Cut. Very good. That's all for today's work, everyone has worked hard." With director Liang Yigu's order, the day's work finally came to an end.There was a burst of laughter and noise in the studio.

"Brother, do you want to go have a drink together?" Just after filming a rivalry scene with Bai Yutang, Tian Pin seems to have not stepped out of the role in the scene.

"No, I still have an interview program to attend tomorrow morning, you go."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"bye."

Bai Yutang took out his mobile phone and looked at the hour hand, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.He put the phone back in his pocket, raised his hand and rubbed his face, rubbing his sore eyes.He has been busy with filming and wanted to take time to visit Zhan Zhao and his shop, but suffered from lack of skills.In recent days, he always dreamed of Zhan Zhao in his sleep, even when they were separated for four years, he never dreamed of him so frequently as now.Sometimes he would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, hugging the quilt and looking at the empty side of the bed, thinking how wonderful it would be if Zhan Zhao was by his side.He tried his best to recall the scene in his dream, but found that he couldn't remember any other details except that he was sure that he had dreamed about Zhan Zhao.

Saying goodbye to the crew members, Bai Yutang drove home, still trying to recall the scene in his dream all the way, the illusory phantom drifted through his mind like hazy smoke, and disappeared without a trace before he could catch it.

In the past few days, Liu Rong would take time to go to the book bar for a walk every day, and open the windows to diffuse the smell of decoration.The furniture has arrived and the interior has more personality and atmosphere.Before going out today, she saw that her nephew was really bored, so she took out the hidden laptop and returned it to him.Liu Rong looked down at her watch and sighed softly.It has been more than two hours, and I don't know if the child has fallen asleep now.

Zhan Zhao hugged the computer and leaned cross-legged on the head of the bed. After answering the emails from the magazine and newspaper, he suddenly wanted to read the news about that person.Someone around him used to collect it for him, but now he has to do it himself.He smiled slightly, typed the five words 'Bai Yutang is worthy' in the search bar, and then pressed the Enter key.

For the whole morning, Zhan Zhao stayed in the bedroom without even going out the door.It wasn't until there was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock at the door that I suddenly realized that I had been staring at the computer for so long before I knew it.

Liu Rong gently opened the door and put the bought vegetables into the kitchen.Seeing that there was no movement in the room, he walked lightly to the door of his nephew's room and said softly, "Xiao Zhao, are you awake?"

Zhan Zhao was lying on the bed pretending to be dozing off, but when he heard his aunt calling, he jumped out of bed. "Auntie, I'm awake." Probably because he got up in a hurry, there was a blur in front of his eyes for a moment, he closed his eyes and stood supporting the bedside table for a while, then opened his eyes, opened the door and walked out.

Liu Rong came out of the kitchen with a big bowl of steaming bean curd with a smile. "I just bought the bean curd, wash your hands and eat it while it's hot."

"Oh." Zhan Zhao smiled at his aunt, turned and walked into the bathroom.He finally knew the reason why his cousin didn't let him read the book "Worthy". Jian Shu in the book was like a microcosm of him to a certain extent.At a similar age, he also suffers from blood diseases.Standing in front of the sink, Zhan Zhao lowered his head and looked at his palm.Those who are left behind are always the ones who suffer the most.Jian Shu died, and his elder brother Jian Zheng spent all his savings for him, but in the end he still had to bear the pain of losing his younger brother.He slowly clenched his palm into a fist, then opened it, clenched it and opened it again.So what if it's a miniature?Jian Shu is dead, but he is still alive.He tried hard to convince himself, but the depression in his heart condensed into a ball, which could not dissipate for a long time.

In the restaurant, Zhan Zhao was eating tofu curd with his head down, while Liu Rong sat across from him and looked at him with a smile.

"Aunt, why don't you eat?"

"I don't like to eat this."

"It's pretty good, you have to try it." Zhan Zhao pushed the big man holding the bean curd in front of his aunt.Then stand up.

"Oh? Why are you going? Eat it while it's hot." Liu Rong yelled at him.

"I'll get you a bowl." Zhan Zhao lowered his head and smiled at his aunt, then turned and walked to the kitchen.After a while, I came back with a bowl and spoon, filled a small bowl of bean curd and handed it to my aunt.

Liu Rong took it, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth, feeling a warm feeling in her heart. "Well, the taste is really good!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, and sat down with bowed eyes.

"Xiao Zhao, we threw your fourth brother into the restaurant that day. I always felt so sorry, why don't you call him later and invite him to come over for a light meal?"

It's not that Zhan Zhao didn't think about what Liu Rong said.For Jiang Ping, he didn't want to have too much contact with him, but the fourth brother treated him like a brother.Without the help of the other party, the decoration of the book bar would not have been so smooth.He naturally understood in his heart that the reason why Jiang Ping did this was entrusted by someone.Thinking of this, the image of that person can't help but float in my mind.I really owe him too much.

Zhan Zhao was silent for a long time, Liu Rong looked up and saw that his nephew was holding a spoon in a daze, and the bean curd in the bowl was unconsciously smashed by him, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried. "Xiao Zhao, is there something uncomfortable?"

"Ah?" Zhan Zhao opened his mouth, raised his brows slightly, his eyes were as bright as a cat's eyes, but a little confused.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Rong muttered with a smile. "I just asked if you want to invite your fourth brother to have a meal at home."

"Well, good. I'll call him later." After this pause, Zhan Zhao lost his appetite, looked down at the tofu brain that he had smashed, and thought of his aunt's painstaking efforts, and scooped up a full bucket with a smile. Put the spoon in your mouth.

In the afternoon, I received another call from Bai Yutang.Zhan Zhao was lying sideways on the bed, with one hand holding the phone to his ear, and the other hand stretched out in front of his eyes. The sunlight softly penetrated the white window screen and hit the pupils, which shrank slightly.

"Cat, how is the bookstore doing?"

"The furniture just arrived two days ago, and the magazine and bookstore will ship the books I ordered in batches after a while."

"When are you going to open?"

"It will take a while. The decoration has just been completed, and the smell in the room has not dissipated."

"Remember to notify me when the time comes."

"it is good."

The other party paused, and said in a muffled voice, "Mao'er, I'm going to go out to film next week."

"Wish you all the best."

"Aren't you going to ask how long I'm going?"

Bai Yutang's tone was slightly dissatisfied and childish.The corners of Zhan Zhao's lips curved unconsciously, and he asked with a smile, "Then how long are you going?"

There was a chuckle from the other end of the phone, and when he spoke again, his tone was obviously much happier. "It may take more than two months."

"I wish you all the best." Zhan Zhao retracted the hand in front of him, raised his body slightly, and put his hand on the side of his head.

After a soft sigh, Bai Yutang began to complain again. "Can't you say something else?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the window screen fluttering in the wind with soft and deep eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Pay more attention to your body."

The person on the other side of the microphone was silent for a while, and then a soft answer came softly after a while. "Well, you too."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Zhao lay on the bed hugging the pillow, and slowly closed his eyes.Every time I call, the other party asks, and he answers.I almost never take the initiative to ask the other party, how are you doing.He knew how cruel he was and how unfair he was to the other party.In this life, he owes that person too much, even if he repays it in the next life, he will not be able to repay it.There was a burst of blockage in his throat, which made him almost unable to breathe.Why do you treat him so well, so good that he can't bear it.He clenched his fists and buried his face deep into the pillow.

Picking a day is worse than catching up, Jiang Yewan had an afternoon shift today and returned home around three o'clock in the afternoon.When Liu Rong and his wife talked about it, Jiang Yewan was very happy.He had heard from his wife about the relationship between Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang a long time ago, and this time old man Jiang's favorability for Bai Yutang has increased a lot.

"Xiao Zhao, turn around and thank you boy, for your book, he has done a lot of hard work."

"En." Zhan Zhao leaned against the kitchen door and replied softly.Earlier he called Jiang Ping, who readily agreed.Look at the time, it is almost six o'clock, and it is almost here. "I'll go downstairs to meet fourth brother."

"Don't go, I'll go." Liu Rong's ears were sharp, and she heard the sound while sitting in the living room, and came out to stop him.

"Just downstairs, it's okay." Zhan Zhao said as he put on his coat and went to the door to change his shoes.

"Go back to the house!" Liu Rong said coldly with a straight face.Since returning from the hospital, her nephew had another nosebleed. Although it was not serious, how dare she forget the lesson from the last time?

Seeing that she was really in a hurry, Zhan Zhao came back wearing slippers, took off his coat, and pulled her to apologize quickly: "I just don't want to go, don't be angry."

Liu Rong wanted to say a few words about him, but when she saw her nephew's behavior, she became so soft-hearted that she couldn't say anything harsh. "As long as you stay honest, my aunt won't be angry."

While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then the doorbell rang.

"It's probably Xiao Jiang." Liu Rong said.

Zhan Zhao turned around and ran to open the door, but it was Jiang Ping who came. "Fourth brother, come in quickly."

Jiang Yewan is a person who likes to be lively. When he heard the commotion, he hurriedly wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen. "I'm Zhan Zhao's uncle, you are Xiao Jiang, right?"

"Yes, hello." Jiang Ping nodded with a smile, and shook hands with Jiang Yewan.

"You go into the house first, and the food will be served right away."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Jiang Ping said politely.

"No trouble, I have to thank you for helping Xiao Zhao so much."

"Xiao Zhao, I'll give your uncle a hand. You two go to the living room and chat for a while." Liu Rong said.

"Okay." Zhan Zhao responded, and led Jiang Ping into the living room.

After the two sat down, Jiang Ping put the briefcase on the side of the sofa, turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao's face, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Well, it's okay." Zhan Zhao said, rubbing his nose unconsciously.

"The way you did last time was scary enough."

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, and changed the subject: "Fourth Brother, go back and ask if your friend is there? Is it convenient for working hours?"

"Well, I asked, no problem. I'll wait for you to greet me. Have you got your business license yet?"

"Well, it's done." Zhan Zhao said with a smile.At the beginning, most people on the Internet recommended finding an intermediary to handle it on their behalf. In order to familiarize himself with the business process, he made several trips by himself.

"That's almost ready, when will it open?"

"In a few days, I need to buy some books."

Just as he was talking, Liu Rong came in with tea and said with a pleasant smile, "Xiao Jiang, I was really sorry last time."

"Don't say that, as long as Zhan Zhao is fine."

"Xiao Jiang, I kept you waiting." When Jiang Yewan walked into the restaurant with a plate of steamed fish, he deliberately stopped at the entrance of the living room. "Come, come, and taste my craft."

Jiang Yewan heard from his nephew that Jiang Ping's stomach was not good, so he specially cooked several light and delicious dishes.Although Jiang Ping came here for the first time, he had long since lost his sense of strangeness to Liu Rong and Zhan Zhao. Old man Jiang was also a hospitable person.

In the living room, Bai Yutang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the dim lights in the distance.The last time Zhan Zhao came, he also stood here and looked out the window.What was he thinking at that time?In a few days, he was going to go out to film a movie. Although he had called, he still planned to visit Zhan Zhao and his small shop before leaving.I haven't seen him in January, and I don't know if his gastroenteritis is better.He sighed softly, turned off the stereo, turned and walked into the bedroom.

In the early morning of the next day, he rushed to the set early, but he didn't expect that someone in the studio was earlier than him.

"Director Liang, good morning." Bai Yutang greeted energetically.

Liang Yigu turned his head, his face was gloomy, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his eye circles were black and black, and he said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Bai, something happened."

The author has something to say:
