Paper rose

Chapter 86
Yunxian County is not big, so you don’t need to drive back. You can walk to the Cultural Compound in 10 to [-] minutes.There is a pedestrian street on the road, it is very lively at night, everything is for sale, sometimes, he and Bai Yan will come and walk.All the peddlers on the street knew him, greeted him warmly and smiled honestly.

Kang Jian saw a flower shop with colorful displays, so he walked in.

"Major Kang, are you buying flowers?" The florist also had two dimples when she laughed. "Today's Lily just came from Kunming, it's pretty good."

"No, I want a bouquet of roses, don't bloom too much, just wait until they are in bud."

"Okay." The florist took out a bouquet of roses from the bucket neatly, trimmed it a little, then added it with a baby's breath, wrapped it in cellophane, tied a ribbon, and handed it to Kang Jian. Is it your lover?"

"Otherwise who else could it be?" Kang Jian laughed.

The flower shop girl was a little embarrassed, "Major Kang, you are so romantic." After speaking, she sighed softly.

The citizens of Yun County all know that County Magistrate Kang has an abnormal wife. She always hides behind Kang Jian like a child, and when Kang Jian is not seen for a moment, she will scream in panic.Therefore, when Kang Jian held a meeting, he would reserve a seat for her in the corner of the meeting place; when he went out to socialize, she would sit next to him; when he was on a business trip, she would hold his hand tightly and stay close to him.

However, she didn't know who Kang Jian belonged to her. There was only one person in her consciousness, and that was Shang Mingming, the son of Shang Shang who died in an air crash.

"Why didn't I see your lover today?" County Magistrate Kang led his lover along the street, which had become a sight in Yun County.

"Today, her mother is accompanying her." Kang Jian nodded to the flower shop girl, and after paying the money, he turned and walked away, feeling very light in his heart.

Bai Yan has made some progress, she can stay alone with Bai Mumei.At first, Bai Yan couldn't help avoiding Bai Mumei.

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Kang Jian took it out and saw that it belonged to the family in the provincial capital.

"Jianjian, are you off work?" Li Xinxia asked.Kang Yunlin and Li Xinxia strongly disagreed with Kang Jian's coming to Yun County. Kang Jian said it was an organizational arrangement, so the two of them had nothing to say.Who dares to fight against the organization?But Kang Yunlin and Li Xinxia didn't come to Yun County to see him. In order to take care of Bai Yan, he was tied up with work, and he didn't go home for a long time.Usually, just make phone calls.

"Well, walking on the road! Didn't you go for a walk with Dad?"

"It's raining in the provincial capital today, so we didn't go downstairs. How is Bai Yan doing?"

"pretty good."

Li Xinxia sighed, "Jianjian, you are so busy with work, how can you keep her by your side, you should send her to a mental hospital!"

"Mom," Kang Jian said in a cold tone, "Bai Yan is not sick, how can you say such a thing?"

"Jianjian, our family owes her love, and we can support her for the rest of my life. Alas, kindness is kindness, and you really repay it with your own body! Don't do stupid things, she is like this, if you let her go, no one will blame you Yes. Besides, you are now a divorced couple. You have no obligation to do so. Doesn’t she have a mother? Let her take care of it. You will hold an important position in the future, so do you want to drag her to various occasions? "

"Mom, we have discussed this matter many times. Bai Yan is not anyone's responsibility, she is mine. I love her."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

In fact, every time Li Xinxia called, she always started like this, and then the mother and son became silent.Kang Jian obeyed her in other matters, but he did not back down in the matter of Bai Yan.

"Mom, how is home?" Kang Jian took the initiative to speak.

"Now your father cooks the meal, and I help wash the dishes. He is learning how to grow flowers. In the morning we went to the park to learn how to sing Peking Opera. It's very good. The part-time worker comes twice a week to clean the house and do the laundry. Yesterday, I spoke to Mrs. Wu on the phone. , she probably found a divorced old man, and she is in a good mood."

"Really, this is a good thing, you remember to send her some gift money. Mom, Bai Yan and I are also fine, don't worry about you and Dad."

Li Xinxia paused and said, "Time flies, today is your first wedding anniversary!"

Kang Jian was stunned, the hand holding the phone shook, his heart was shocked, "Mom, you actually remember?"

"My only son got married. Although I didn't come to participate, I will always remember this day. Jianjian, mom is doing it for your own good, but if you don't accept it, I can't force you to do so. You are a father and son. It’s bound to make me cold.”

"Bai Yan and I got married because of love, which is different from anyone else. Mom, I'm hanging up the phone, Bai Yan is waiting for me!"

Kang Jian had already reached the gate of the cultural compound, put away the phone, looked up, and saw Bai Yan standing in front of the gate of the small courtyard, looking around.

The lotus-colored dress, the small face is pink and tender, the long hair reaches the waist, and the exposed calves are fair and fair. The setting sun shines on her shoulders through the treetops, reflecting her transparent and flawless skin.

In an instant, Kang Jian's heart was slowly filled with a tender and throbbing emotion.

Yes, facing her day by day, her world was given to another man. It would be false not to be disappointed or jealous.But none of those could compare to her standing in front of him so truly.You can feel her temperature, smell her breath, call her name, see her raise her face and look at you intently, and hold her hand in every season.

If he lost her completely, what fun was there in his life?
Who can let him taste the taste of love?Who can give him the warmth of home?Who can share the achievements of struggle with him?Who will accompany him to grow old slowly?
So, don't worry about it, as long as he loves her, even if he still can't get her response now.

He smiled and walked towards her.

"Major Kang, wait a minute." On the way, Shang Mingming's mother ran out of the house and called to stop him.

Shang's mother and Shang's father have almost recovered from the grief of Shang's passing away tomorrow.

Shang Mingxing was assigned to work in Yunxian county, responsible for managing logistics, and with a stable job, Shang Mingxing.Much more sensible and calm than before.Soon, a teacher pursued her, and the two soon became hot.Not long ago, the parents of both sides met and planned to get married in autumn.This joy dilutes the long-simmering clouds of sorrow in the merchants' heaven.

Kang Jian frowned, he usually only greeted Shang's father and Shang's mother politely, and rarely spoke.

"This was her favorite food when she was a child. I...made some today." Shang's mother handed Kang Jian a plate full of golden egg dumplings. , I’ll just eat one tomorrow, and then I’ll give them all to her while I’m not paying attention.”

Kang Jian took it in astonishment.

"Seeing her like this, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel sorry for her. But I..." Shang's mother covered her mouth, unable to speak, tears pouring out uncontrollably, and hurried into the room.

"Thank you!" Kang Jian returned home with the plate.

"Bai Yan, do you miss me?" He looked at Bai Yan with a smile, but Bai Yan didn't look at him or Rose, his eyes were fixed on the egg dumpling, showing a little bit of surprise and confusion, and his delicate eyebrows slowly frowned. stand up.

"You're back!" Bai Mumei walked out of the room, pointing at Bai Yan, "She's cooking today."

"Huh?" Kang Jian couldn't believe his ears.

Bai Mumei shrugged, "I don't know what's wrong with her. She was watching TV, but she suddenly entered the kitchen, cooking porridge, kneading noodles, and making omelets."

Egg cakes, Baiyan's unique art!

Kang Jian's heart was beating wildly. Is this the harbinger of a miracle?
"It's nothing, I'll go back first." Bai Mumei glanced at the rose in his hand, "You really have a heart."

"I haven't bought flowers for her before, so I must buy them today."

Bai Mumei smiled faintly. She has been very haggard recently, her hair is no longer dyed, and some silver light is showing at the ends, and the wrinkles around her eyes have gradually increased.She still went to the Shaoxing opera training center, only willing to teach, not to be an official.She is no longer on stage, and when she is free, she often comes to see Bai Yan.

Seeing Bai Yan dumbfounded, what she said the most was: Back then, I really shouldn't have given birth to you.The tone of these words is not bored, but helpless, sad, and hidden reluctance.

"Let's have dinner together!" Kang Jian was in a very excited mood. He went into the room and found a vase to put roses in, and sniffed his nose for the long-lost "unique art" fragrance.

"Today is your wedding anniversary, so I don't want to be an old man." Bai Mumei walked up to Bai Yan and fixed her hair that was loose on her forehead, "Yanyan, I'm leaving."

"Mom, goodbye!" Bai Yan mechanically replied.

It took Bai Mumei a long time before she called her mother, but she looked at Bai Mumei with unfamiliar eyes.

Bai Mumei couldn't laugh or cry.

Kang Jian sent Bai Mumei to the gate.

For Bai Mumei, he was still alienated, but he didn't want to care about anything.He can't care about the grievances between her and his parents.He only thought that she was Bai Yan's mother, and it would be great if she could give Bai Yan a little maternal love.

Back in the small courtyard, Bai Yan was already sitting at the table, staring at the egg dumplings intently.

"Want to eat?" Kang Jian lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

She nodded and swallowed her saliva, making Kang Jian amused.He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

It had been a long time since the two of them had been so intimate, and Kang Jian's body instinctively reacted to this hug.

Bai Yan's body naturally sensed his toughness, and leaned against him softly, but her eyes were still looking at the egg dumplings on the table.

Kang Jian laughed and shook his head, "Silly girl, when you get better, I must tell you how embarrassing you were when we were married for the first anniversary. You were in my arms, but you were thinking of a plate of egg dumplings." .”

He took a deep breath, suppressed the flame in his heart, and then went to the kitchen to serve porridge and pancakes.

Needless to say, Bai Yan's craftsmanship has not been lost at all.

He drank two bowls of porridge and ate a lot of bread.

Bai Yan ate a lot of egg dumplings.

After packing away the dishes, he didn't accompany Bai Yan to watch TV as usual, but led her to the room where she used to live, now it's his study.

"Sit down!" He gently pushed her into the chair, pulled out a chair himself, and mysteriously took out a stack of red paper from the drawer.

Bai Yan's eyes lit up, and a trace of flame flashed across.

"Don't laugh!" He pinched the tip of her little nose, "I have never done handwork since I was a child, and this is a very high challenge. However, I quietly downloaded the folding method from the Internet and thought about it for a long time. My wife, look at my 30-year-old man, lying on the table to make origami roses, and others can’t help but laugh. But what can I do? It’s like a baby, it’s become a few pieces of paper, and she’s still holding it in her hand, so I can only fight in person, otherwise she’ll never know how much her husband loves her.”

He smiled lightly and waved the red paper in front of her eyes, "Take a good look, County Magistrate Origami Rose, this is the only time, and this time is no exception. Wife, I love you." He moved his head and kissed her soft cherry lips.

This kiss made his heart flutter several times.

Bai Yan sat quietly, watching him cut and fold the paper, his eyes seemed to be frozen.

The work of origami roses is really complicated. Kang Jian remembered that he had succeeded in practice, so why did he forget it today?He frowned, turned the paper over and over, folded inwards and outwards for a while, sweating on his forehead, and managed to make a rose.

This rose looked really ugly, Kang Jian sighed.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yan slowed down her breathing, as if she was afraid that she would make trouble for him.

"I tried my best, wife," Kang Jian shook his head in frustration, and handed the paper rose to Bai Yan, "You can play with it first, I will practice and practice again later, and fold it for you again."

Bai Yan took it and held it in his palm, with his head down and his body motionless.

"If you want to say it's ugly, just say it. I have a strong heart and can bear it. Bai Yan..." Kang Jian's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw a place on the paper rose suddenly wet, and a little bit of blush spread out .

"Kang Jian, it won't be folded like this tomorrow." Bai Yan raised his head with tears in his eyes.

"Then what is he like?" Kang Jian's voice was hoarse and worried.
