This episode is the cause and effect of Chen Jizhou calling Zhou Xuecen.

Zhou Xuecen was quite surprised when she received a call from Chen Jizhou. She was waiting for the call every day. She had been hoping that the materials sent out could cause a little bit of trouble, but in the end they were all over the sea and there was no news.

"Ms. Zhou, I am Chen Jizhou from the discipline inspection team of Beijiang Evening News." Chen Jizhou stopped and wanted to hear the other party's reaction.

"You are Beijiang Evening News? What happened to Xiangbei?" Zhou Xuecen's first reaction was an ominous premonition. She was lying on the bed, weak.

Because she eats to deal with it every day, Zhou Xuecen obviously feels exhausted these days, and is often drowsy and always feels unable to wake up. Therefore, even after hearing such unexpected news, her condition has not changed significantly.

Despite this, Zhou Xuecen struggled to sit up from the bed. A strong impact rushed from her lungs to her throat, causing a cough. She picked up the cup at the head of the bed and drank a sip of water.

In the past two years, the words "Beijiang Evening News" have almost become a nightmare in her heart. She hopes to receive the other party's response, but is also afraid that this response will hurt the family again. The family has been damaged to pieces.

"Oh, no. Don't get me wrong," Chen Jizhou hurriedly clarified, "I want to tell you on behalf of Beijiang Evening News that we have received the materials you reported to us before and want to do further investigation. So, when will you have time to come to the newspaper office, let's talk about it in detail."

"You mean that Xiangbei's case has hope?" Zhou Xuecen was not sure about Chen Jizhou's meaning. To be precise, she couldn't imagine that the other party's words had this meaning.

"I can't say that now, but I can at least assure you that I will try my best to find out the problems, especially some suspicious points involved, such as those involving Beijiang Evening News, I will investigate them carefully from the newspaper." Chen Jizhou hoped to explain the words as clearly as possible. He felt that Zhou Xuechen should see hope, but he could not give too much hope.

Sometimes, hope can make a person excited, but it can also make a person collapse.

"Very good!"

Although Chen Jizhou's explanation was ambiguous, when Zhou Xuecen finally waited for such a re-investigation news two years later, hope seemed to ignite in her heart. She could not suppress herself and she burst into tears in an instant.

"When do you have time?" Chen Jizhou has a working habit. Whenever the president sets the matter on the agenda, he will make a time list and implement it one by one according to the deadline and progress. This time is no exception. He formulated the investigation plan for the north incident in detail, and even carefully considered the person and time to investigate the conversation, and would list it clearly.

Zhou Xuecen did not understand what Chen Jizhou meant, thinking that time was very tight. She looked at the time. It was noon. According to the time He Miaomiao set for her, she would go to take care of felix in the afternoon.

"I have something to do in the afternoon. Can I go to the newspaper after get off work?" Zhou Xuecen estimated that he got off work at five o'clock, and it took less than an hour from He Miaomiao's house to Beijiang Evening News. "I will definitely arrive before 7 o'clock in the evening. Can you wait for me?"

"It doesn't matter, I can do it anytime, depending on your time. If you think it's too hurrying, tomorrow will be OK." For Chen Jizhou, overtime is normal. But he still didn't expect that this woman would be so anxious.

He didn't know that Zhou Xuecen's life was like a walking corpse. Only for the person he loved the most could his body have more souls.

"No, no, I'll go there after work. I'll just happen to have a lot of materials, and I'll take them there in a while."

"Okay, you go to the newspaper and call me."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xuecen couldn't calm down for a long time. She almost forgot her weakness, paced around the house, and seemed to remember something, and walked quickly to the entrance door and flipped through the shoulder bag she had always carried with her. Fortunately, the materials were all there!

Over the years, Zhou Xuecen has developed the habit of carrying materials with her every day. She has copied many copies of those materials and has made the whole bag full of bulge. She once sent these materials to Beijiang Evening News Agency, to relevant departments of Beijiang Province, Hedong City, and to some media in Beijiang Province and Beijing, but there was no news.

Later, she heard from somewhere that the materials that reflect the problem must have strong information, just like the current self-media writing articles are all title parties, or the masters write online articles first to name a good book. A good title can attract enough clicks.

Besides, those departments and media receive so many clues every day, what kind of things they have never seen before? If there is no explosive news, how can they attract their attention? In short, the title should be eye-catching, which is very important!

Zhou Xuecen was a smart man who had received higher education and soon realized the truth.

After some thought, she kept adding new information to these materials, some of which were what she heard from Xiangbei, and some of which were fabricated by her free use.

However, because she wrote too much and told others, she could no longer tell the truth. So much so that later, she began to firmly believe that everything she wrote was absolutely true.

When a person reaches this level, he is actually beyond the scope of reason. Zhou Xuecen had no idea.

In any case, the love in Zhou Xuecen's heart has always been fierce and real. This love is not only for Xiang Bei Nuoyi, but also for everyone who is worthy of love by her side, such as felix.

Zhou Xuecen took the bus to He Miaomiao's house. After completing the handover with her last confinement nanny, she started working for half a day.

Felix is ​​slowly cultivated. At this time, he can not only say that he can dance, but even starts to play naughty and deliberately trick these confinement nannies. However, he is a child with extremely high emotional intelligence. Seeing that Zhou Xuechen is unhappy, he will stay by her side obediently and make her laugh with her.

Zhou Xuechen made lunch for Felix and took him to read a few story books. After a while, Felix had a lot of fun and fell asleep in bed.

Seeing the doll sleeping soundly, Zhou Xuecen took out a bunch of things from her bag and sat in the corridor of the house.

It was a bunch of needlework, and she wanted to take advantage of her idle space to do some needlework. The reason she chose to work in the corridor was not because it was cool here, but because He Miaomiao had a cleanliness obsession with it. The things she brought from outside could not be brought into the house without being cleaned.

Although He Miaomiao no longer emphasizes this now, Zhou Xuecen has always remembered this rule.

She took out the carpet, and there was a cartoon image that was about to be embroidered. Such handicrafts were called velvet embroidery. In the old society, it was a craft used by the poor to decorate insoles and quilts. Now that life is better, people will no longer use it. Therefore, it has been elevated from craftsmanship to art and has been included in an intangible cultural heritage.

For those who have a basic foundation of hand-made work, velvet embroidery is not complicated, but it is a kung fu. It is to pass pure cotton thread through a hollow needle, then outline it back and forth on the cotton cloth with hollow needles to form a colorful pattern. Finally, use scissors to cut the raised cotton thread on the cloth surface, and the pattern will have a furry feel.

Maybe it was because she was in a good mood, Zhou Xuecen was very efficient in the afternoon. She originally thought that she would have to take another day to complete the work, but now it seems that if you work harder, you can finish today.

There are still two hours left before she gets off work, and what she wants to make is a cartoon-patterned purse. A year ago, she made one of the same items for Nuoyi, but before it was finished, Nuoyi went to another world. Zhou Xuechen was once sad and did not want to touch these needlework again.

However, now seeing that Felix is ​​so old and so well-behaved and sensible, she seems to feel that Nuoyi has never left her, and she devotes all her maternal love to Felix.

Zhou Xuechen has been making this purse for more than a week, and it is her birthday gift for felix.

Of course, no one asked Zhou Xuecen to prepare a gift, and in such a family, what gifts could not be bought by He Miaomiao?

So, when Zhou Xuecen said she wanted to prepare a gift for the doll, He Miaomiao smiled gently and refused. Apart from things like toys, clothes, birthday cakes, she couldn't think of anything else to prepare.

The velvet embroidery skills were taught by Zhou Xuecen when she was training at the housekeeping school. Unexpectedly, she was smarter and more skillful than the embroidered ones of the confinement nanny. The people who taught her praised her but felt very embarrassed.

In fact, this purse is not difficult to make. The difficulty lies in how to embroider it well, which requires talent. Just like singing, someone is born with incomplete tone, how can he become Pavarotti?

Zhou Xuecen embroidered a pink pig and a beautiful big house on her purse. It took her more than half of her time just these two patterns.

The final work was finally completed. Zhou Xuecen breathed a long sigh, but she was coughed by pharyngitis. She was afraid that she would wake up the sleeping felix and tried her best to suppress herself from coughing out.

The discomfort in his throat as if he was crawling by an ant, slowly calmed down. After a severe cough, Zhou Xuecen quietly came to the felix room and helped him cover the thin quilt. He stopped immediately when he stopped. Children in his sleep always had the urge to take care of him. For some reason, tears gushed from the corner of Zhou Xuecen's eyes. He gently kissed Felix's forehead and wrapped the quilt tighter.

When the clock rang five times, the entrance door was opened and He Miaomiao appeared on time.

The profession He Miaomiao has no fixed working hours. When she is busy, she can do nothing until midnight. When she is not busy, she will almost do nothing all day. However, most of the time, she will return home at five or six o'clock.

At this time, felix had also woken up. After a brief period of arousing, the little ghost was jumping around and started to destroy the situation again.

"I came back so early today." Zhou Xuecen went out to welcome He Miaomiao.

"The company is fine, so I'm back." He Miaomiao took off her coat, "Felix is ​​still sleeping?"

"I just woke up and I've been sleeping for two hours."

"Oh, you go back. I'll just take care of felix." He Miaomiao was very polite.

"Okay, I happened to have something to do, so I left first," Zhou Xuechen turned around and wanted to leave, thought of something, turned around and took out something from his pocket, "This is the birthday gift I prepared for felix."

"Didn't you say there's no need to spend money? You're so tired every day, and it's already very hard." He Miaomiao didn't care about what she was in her hands.

"Actually, it's not a valuable thing, it's just a hand-embroidered purse. This is what I learned from others. It's rough and I don't know if the child likes it." Zhou Xuecen saw that He Miaomiao did not look back and wanted to put the purse on the table.

Unexpectedly, He Miaomiao snatched it over and held it in her hand and repeated it: "Oh, Sister Zhou, I didn't expect that you have such a good craftsmanship and embroidery, which is much better than the handicrafts sold in shopping malls. To be honest, I'm still worried about what gifts to prepare for felix, now it's great. felix, look, is the purse my aunt embroidered for you, good?"

The little guy who was playing on the side ran over when he heard the sound, held the purse in his hand with a smile, and looked at Peppa pig embroidered on it, and immediately cheered.

"Do you like it?" He Miaomiao asked.

"Hehe, it's Page, I like it."

"Thank you, aunt!"

"Thank you, auntie," felix asked naively, "Auntie, can you help me embroider a smart pet cart next time? I like Abao very much."

Zhou Xuecen smiled, touched the little ghost's head and said, "No problem, aunt promises you that I will start doing it for you tomorrow!"

"Oh, it's great! It's great!" The little ghost ran away with his purse cheering and excitedly.

"Sister Zhou, you can't spoil him so much anymore, otherwise I'm really jealous. Now this child has kissed you much more than me," He Miaomiao joked.

In fact, with He Miaomiao's temper, few people can tolerate it. But perhaps because of his sincere efforts, Zhou Xuecen and felix have a more like a mother and son. Felix can not see He Miaomiao for a day, but if you don't see Zhou Xuecen in a while, you will cry.

Seeing that the child was so attached to Zhou Xuecen, He Miaomiao had to suppress himself from having an attack from time to time.

Gradually, she found that Zhou Xuecen was quite good: she didn't have much work, she worked diligently and quickly, and the two of them had many topics to talk about, so they got closer and closer to each other.

"I like this child so much. Every time I see him, I can think of our Nuoyi." Zhou Xuechen looked at the figure of felix and shed tears again.

Some scientists once said that time is actually a false proposition. What is lost in life is not time, but memory. If you miss a person, memory will gradually fade, but if you encounter familiar things, memory will appear again, which is a feeling of being hurt.

This is how Zhou Xuechen was. When she saw any people or things related to her children, she could think of Nuo Yi, so she could not extricate herself.

He Miaomiao wanted to help her, but she didn't know where to start. The only thing she could do was listen and chat. You know, nowadays, few people in the community are willing to stand patiently next to Zhou Xuecen and listen to her telling stories that she had talked countless times.
