Jinling, Taoyuan, autumn in September.
Morning, seven thirty.
On the sofa, Jin Yu sits with her legs crossed, holding coffee in one hand and morning paper of the day in the other, which is very elegant.
Sitting next to a round Dudu little guy, hands holding a bottle, seriously pecking, meat Dudu calf learn to look like adults next to the other leg.
From the eyebrows and eyes, to the action, and then to the proud look, it can be called a perfect one-to-one copy.
"Dong Dong Dong"
There was a rush of footsteps on the stairs. Muqiqi ran down from the second floor, carrying a stuffed cartoon backpack.
"Eight Ye! Ma Ma is going to report to the Ministry of foreign affairs today. After a while, Ma Ma Ma will send you to grandma's, and pick you up after work in the evening! " Mu Qi Qi a drum for gas finish saying, has come to the father and son in front of the body, can't help but go to hold the sofa on the small dot.
"Bo" of a, pacifier from the boy's cherry small mouth shot out, milky tone asked: "Ma Ma why don't you send me to kindergarten?"
Jin Si Mu doesn't understand. Today is the day of kindergarten.
Mu Qi twists her eyebrows. Before, she just said it casually. Unexpectedly, Jin Si Mu remembered it.
When they just came back from France, she didn't take Jin simu to the kindergarten for an interview. At first, she was successful in language expression, behavior habits, and self-care ability. Jin simu, a young man, performed very well. Finally, because he was under two years old, the kindergarten refused to accept him because of the regulations.
"How nice Yiyuan is! You see, grandma loves you so much! And granddad... "Only when coaxing the baby, Muqiqi will restrain all his temper, gentle like a pool of spring water.
"But Yi Yuan has no sister Wan Wan!" Jin Si Mu Du has a small mouth.
Wanwan is the little girl he interviewed with on the day he went to the kindergarten. She is a half breed girl with big eyes and twinkle.
Wan Wan has just finished his two-year-old birthday, and he is a few months older than him. However, he just wants to call someone his sister and be a villain.
Muqiqifue: "the director said that you can go to the kindergarten in a few months, and then you will see wanwan! Why don't you go to Yiyuan first today? "
Jin Si Mu frowned: "Ma Ma! Are you nervous? "
"Well?" Muqiqi was asked by him.
Jin simu's young hand held Muqiqi's crooked collar button and said, "Ma Ma even tied the button wrong!"
Then the little guy tooted his lips and worried. Ma Ma started to make mistakes now, which is not a good sign.
Mu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and quickly put Jin simu back on the sofa and rearranged his shirt.
Jin Si Mu pushed his leg and sat back on the sofa. He folded his leg and said, "calm down. Today, Baba is going to report to the Ministry of foreign affairs, but Baba is not nervous at all!"
Beside the man, such as carving works of art in general, dignified sitting there, calm.
One is the Minister of foreign affairs and the other is an intern whose future is uncertain. Their ranks differ by thousands of miles, and their mentality naturally varies. Can they be compared?
"Who said dad wasn't nervous?" Jin Yu rubbed Jin Si Mu's little head and said a light sentence.
Jin Si Mu frowned, with a small appearance of "hot, I don't believe it".
"What are you nervous about?"
"Nervous, your mother makes mistakes!"
Mu Qiqi looks at Jin Yu, can't he save her face in front of the children?
Look at Jin Si Mu again, unexpectedly nodded, a pair of super identity small appearance.
Putting down the coffee cup, Jin Yu picked up Jin simu and stood up: "after breakfast, you go to the Ministry of foreign affairs! I'll send him
This arrangement is the best. However, the way to Yiyuan and the Ministry of foreign affairs are quite different. If she comes to see Si Mu off, it will be too late.
Their marriage is still a secret in the Ministry of foreign affairs, so it's not easy to go to work together.
This time she was admitted to the Ministry of foreign affairs. From the first round to the second round, she tried her best. She just wanted to prove that she could enter the Ministry of foreign affairs by strength.
If the news of interns working with the new minister comes out on the first day of work, there will inevitably be voices of doubt from the outside world.
**
Ministry of foreign affairs.
I saw a beautiful floating emergency brake, a black beetle parked straight in the parking space.
The driver's door was pushed open. Muqiqi pulled the co pilot's hand bag and got off the car. With two and a half inch high heels, he rushed into the Foreign Ministry building.
During the internship period, it is stipulated that all interns must clock in half an hour in advance. It is 8:25 and she will be late in five minutes.
Unfortunately, the six elevators in the hall on the first floor were all parked above the 20th floor. Muqiqi couldn't wait to open the fire door of the staircase.
The registration point for interns is the intern activity center on the sixth floor. When Mu Qiqi breathlessly climbs to the sixth floor and pushes open the gate of the activity center, the clock in the corner just rings half a bell.
Just in time.
This is a small classroom of more than 40 square meters. At this time, it is full of interns.
There are 16 interns in this group. After three months of devil like training, only three of them can officially enter the Ministry of foreign affairs. We can imagine the cruelty of the competition.
Suddenly, a person broke into the classroom. Everyone thought that it was the leader coming, and the classroom was quiet.
After looking at each other for a moment, Muqiqi steps to the only vacant seat in the classroom and sits down.
"Ah I don't know who sent out a sigh, "it's also an intern! I thought it was the director! "
"Tilt! Go on
"Yes! Yes! Go on
The voice that girls can't wait for.
Muqiqi looked up in the direction of the voice. In the first row by the window, a girl in a white shirt with ruffles was surrounded in the center, and the cleverness between her eyebrows and eyes was somewhat superior.
Luo Qingqing coughed a few times, and continued: "when you enter the Ministry of foreign affairs, everyone will have the opportunity to go abroad. Everyone wants to go to Paris, London and Washington, but if one of them is not pleasing to the eye, you will be sent to a place where guns and guns are flying. Do you want to go or not? So, what we fight for now is strength, and what we fight for in the end is relationship! "
"Qingqing, you know so much about the Ministry of foreign affairs. Do you know anyone in the Ministry of foreign affairs?"
Luo Qing smiles but does not speak, is regarded as the default.
"Wow There was a sound of admiration. Among these interns, Luo ranked in the top three in terms of comprehensive scores. If, as Luo said, she still had acquaintances in the Ministry of foreign affairs, there would have been one less place to compete.
Muqiqi has no time to listen to these idle words. He silently takes out a German vocabulary book from his bag and nibbles it slowly.
Two slender knuckles stretched out and knocked on Muqiqi's desk. Muqiqi looked up.
"Hello! My name is Gu Chenxi A cool boy.
"Hello! Muqiqi Muqi answered.
"I think you look like a person..." Gu Chenxi picked up the mobile phone on the desktop, lit up the screen, pointed the screensaver photo to Mu Qiqi and said: "like her! Angel of Paris
Muqiqi said with a smile, "is that right? It's a little bit like that
Maybe it's because of the makeup and hairstyle, plus the PS technique that P's mother can't recognize, there is still a slight gap between the person in the photo and herself.
At that time, shortly after her first marriage, she was still young, with a baby face, full of schoolboy spirit. Now, she has become a mother, and her image and temperament have changed a lot.
"I graduated from Foreign Studies University. How about you?" Gu Chenxi asked.
"Foreign Affairs College!"
"Do you study German?"
"No
Gu Chenxi some did not ask, are a session of interns, but also the first day to meet, Muqiqi is not good, refused too cold, can only be a short response.
There was an anxious voice in the classroom, "what time is it? The notice said that we should report half an hour in advance, but now it's almost nine o'clock. Why can't a leader see it!"
"Today, when the new minister takes office, all levels are naturally waiting for the new boss. Let's wait patiently." It's Lotti who's talking.
Even she knows the news of the new minister's assumption of office today. It seems that what she has to do with the Ministry of foreign affairs is true. People in the classroom treat her with a little more admiration.
"Here comes the new minister!" Luo tilted a glance outside the window, a light sentence.
Voice just fell, everyone gathered to the side of the window, the whole row of French windows around a watertight.
"Wow! It's Jin Yu! It's very good of you to show your eyes
"He's more handsome than on TV!"
"Why do perfect men marry early?"
"Ah! Tilt! Why don't you come and have a look? " Someone looked back and noticed Luo tilted in his seat without moving.
Luo Qing light sentence: "it's not that I haven't seen it!"
"Do you know Jin Yu?"
Luo Qingqing looks at her new French manicure, does not answer, is acquiesced.
Muqiqitiao slightly raises his eyes and looks at Luo Qingqing, who is so arrogant in the front row that he can't help muttering. There are many people who know Jin Yu. Who is she?
But looking at her like that, I wish everyone thought she was a related account, and one of the three final quotas had been set. Is it because of the great pressure of competition that we have to use psychological tactics?
"Who do you think is so lucky to be Jin Yu's wife?"
"Didn't it say on the Internet that Jin Yu's wife was a student of the foreign affairs college? But that microblog was blocked in the end, and I don't know if it's true or not! "
Gu Chenxi suddenly thought of Mu Qiqi, looked back at Mu Qiqi sitting quietly in the corner of the classroom with words on his back, and asked, "Mu Qiqi! Don't you graduate from the school of foreign affairs? "
In a word, it exploded in an instant.
More than a dozen people came around and surrounded Muqiqi.
"You graduated from the foreign affairs college?"
"Is the rumor true?"
"Do you know who Jin Yu's wife is?"
All of a sudden, the crowd makes Muqi roar.
At the beginning, in order to keep the students in the class tight lipped about their marriage, Jin Yu used the cancellation of everyone's punishment and the restoration of scholarship as the exchange conditions.
You know, no one is willing to graduate with punishment, and no one will say no to the scholarship, so all the silence has become a consensus.
Mu Qiqi shook his head. "I went abroad to study when I was a junior, and I didn't know much about the gossip in school."
Everyone sighed for a while. If Mu Qiqi said that she would go abroad to study in her junior year, it would be no surprise that she didn't know about it, and we didn't embarrass her.
"Jin Yu married mu Yuanru's daughter!" At the critical moment, Luo Qingqing said, "that's the former foreign minister! Wise for a lifetime, but finally destroyed in the spy suspected wife! When he died, he should be buried in the cemetery. What a pity! But in the end, it can only be scattered in the sea.... "
My father made a will before he died. Everything at the funeral was simple, and he was determined not to waste it. However, in Luo's words, he was implicated by her mother's affairs.
What's more, his father chose to dust his ashes in the sea because he could not see the day when Liuli island was recovered. That was his lifelong regret. His father hoped to scatter his ashes in the middle of the Strait, hoping to make up for his regret in this way.
The most important thing is that there has been no official conclusion about the disappearance of his mother. Now when I hear an outsider say that his mother is a spy, Mu Qiqi's hands are clenched and his eyes are red.
The people in the classroom burst into flames when they heard this remark.
This incident has always been a secret of the government's strict prevention. Suddenly, there is another saying about it. It's just explosive news.
Muqiqi couldn't help scolding, "what evidence do you have to tarnish a person who has passed away? Don't you know what the dead rest in peace? "
"Yes! Minister Mu is a diplomat I admire most! You shouldn't say that about a dead man! "
"I have read minister Mu's autobiography. His wife is a senior translator in the Translation Institute. How can she be a spy?"
Luo Qingqing snorted: "the state's secret archives have a storage period. After another 30 or 50 years, you will know whether what I said is true or false!"
After hearing that Luo Qingqing said that, plus the way she had set herself up before, some people began to waver.
Mu Qiqi sneers and suddenly thinks of the year when she was framed by Vivian and misunderstood by all the people in the school.
That year, the president went to the scene of military training to help her out. He also said, "as a diplomat, the most important thing is to distinguish right from wrong and keep rational self-restraint."
At that time, she thought it was a scene sentence and didn't take it to heart, but now she understands what the meaning of this sentence is.
Muqiqi snorted and said contemptuously: "such a person deserves to sit here too!"
"Who do you say?" Luo Qingqing finally turns his head and looks at Mu Qiqi sitting in the corner for the first time.
Muqiqi gave a cold smile: "who is in a hurry is who!"
"Yes Luo tilted a little, "you seem to be mu, too? It is destiny. You don't have anything to do with mu Yuanru, do you? All of you here are not in a hurry, but you are angry. Aren't you mu Yuanru's daughter? And a spy mother? "
Muqiqi finally can't help but get angry and get up to go over. People around her are busy holding her.
"Muqiqi! Don't be impulsive
"Wait for the leader to come and see, it's not good!"
There is also a whispered reminder: "you bear it! Look at her like that, the family background must not be simple, you'd better not provoke her! "
"Today is the first day of internship. If things go wrong, it will affect your future assessment."
"It's not easy for you to go through so many rounds of examinations today, but don't get fired because you're impulsive."
As we were trying to persuade them, the gate of the activity center was opened head-on, and five or six men and women in suits came into the center, each with a serious face.
"What are you doing together?" The man at the head immediately drank it.
All of a sudden, the classroom became quiet, and everyone quickly spread out and returned to their seats.
Muqiqi is about to sit down. The man in the head scans the photo on the list and recognizes Muqiqi. He barks: "Muqiqi! On the first day of the internship, I tease right and wrong! Yes? Still want to fight? "
Muqiqi originally bent legs, straight up, looked at the man: "I didn't!"
"No? I can see it clearly on the monitor After that, the man pointed to the surveillance probe in the corner, "I've been watching each and every one of you. From the moment you entered this building, you've come into my sight! Muqiqi, you're the last one to come here today. You're almost late. You're trying to provoke right and wrong and try to fight! The Ministry of foreign affairs is a place for peaceful settlement of disputes. If violence can solve problems, what else do diplomats need to do? Behind every dispute settlement by force is the dereliction of duty of diplomats! "
After a pause, the man said in a bell like voice: "you don't deserve to stand here! I now solemnly inform you! You're fired! "
Muqiqi's brain was a blank.
what? She was fired before her internship began?
yes! She's really fired!
There was silence in the classroom, and no one stood up to speak for her.
The admission rate of 16 to 3 is cruel enough. If one more person withdraws, one less person will compete. This kind of thing is good for all of you.
Mu Qi's red eyes coldly looked at the opposite man, motionless, suddenly flashed an idea in the brain, this is a conspiracy!
Finally someone stood up and said, "you misunderstood me! It's not like what you think it is! "
The speaker is Gu Chenxi.
But without waiting for him to finish, the man standing in front interrupted him: "do you want to be fired with her?"
Under the threat of nakedness, Gu Chenxi glanced slightly at Mu Qiqi. As soon as his legs became soft, he sat down. He took the exam for three years before he was admitted to the Ministry of foreign affairs. It was not easy for him to get this internship opportunity.
A woman stepped forward and came to the man's side, whispering: "director Lin, this Muqiqi is ranked first in all interns in terms of interview and written examination! In the history of the Ministry of foreign affairs, only two people got full marks in the written examination. How can we say that she is also a rare good candidate! It's really a pity to dismiss someone like this! "
"What about full marks in the written test? Do you think she can be the second minister of Jin? " Director Lin asked coldly.
At that time, when Jin Yu entered the Ministry of foreign affairs with full marks in the written examination, everyone thought that this would be the result of no comer, until Mu Qiqi's appearance on this altar added a stroke of catching up.
Muqiqi calmed down and said, "you have no reason to fire me! Unless you're aiming at me
"I'm aiming at you? Is it necessary? " Director Lin asked.
"First! I'm not late! Second! I didn't provoke right and wrong! Third! You said I tried to fight. What do you mean trying? I didn't even fight. How do you know I wanted to fight? Guess what? Now that the situation on the peninsula is so tense, some people guess every day that a country's missile will fly down. Has the missile fallen down? So, what's the difference between director Lin and those who worry about nothing? I don't think a competent diplomat should be able to judge the facts by suspicion and imagination? " Muqiqi's witty rhetorical question, refined speed of speech, refuter speechless.
"Good! Good Director Lin coldly a, continue to say: "finished, you can go out!"
The woman who just whispered advice shook her head at Muqiqi and said, "Muqiqi! acknowledge one's fault! Maybe you have a chance to stay! "
"I'm right! I won't go Muqi answered repeatedly. After that, he sat down.
Director Lin gave a contemptuous smile, "very good! You can stay! However, your previous written and interview scores are zero! "
Everyone on the scene sighed. As we all know, the scores of the written examination and interview in the early stage each accounted for 10% of the assessment results of the internship period. The director's words meant that Muqiqi had no 20% of the results, and it was only a matter of time before he was eliminated.
"Zero points, zero points!" Muqiqi grumbled angrily, glanced at Luo Qingqing, who was sitting in the first row, and saw her smile. Now Muqiqi's score returned to zero and lost such a big competitor. The happiest person should be her.
**
Finally, after work, Muqiqi drove back to Taoyuan and walked to the door of the villa. She said that she would go to Yiyuan to pick up Sima after work. She was in a bad mood all the way. She stepped on the accelerator to the end and walked along the elevated road. She forgot to pick up the eighth master.
Muqiqi helps the forehead and turns around to drive. Behind him comes a crisp cry: "numb!"
Muqi is surprised, eighth master?
As soon as he turned around, Jin simu was right behind him, walking on his short legs and running to Mu Qiqi.
Muqiqi squats down with open arms. Jin simu bumps into Muqiqi's arms, hooks her neck and asks: "is Ma Ma good today?"
Seeing Jin simu, Mu Qiqi felt that all the resentment in her heart seemed to have gone away. She nodded and asked, "is the eighth master good today?"
Jin Si Mu hesitated for a moment: "um..."
I was trying to test it, but
"Si Mu!" Muqiqi really lowered his voice.
Jin Sima has a small mouth. When Ma Ma is in a good mood, she will call him Ba ye, but once Ma Ma calls his name, it means that she is not in a good mood.
The tender little hand touched Muqiqi's slightly wrinkled forehead and comforted him: "numb! Have fun! Si Mu is very good today! Grandma prepared a lot of delicious food for me! In the afternoon, my grandmother took me to the kindergarten to see my sister Wan! "
After listening to this, Mu Qiqi picked his lips and laughed. This little thing is also a little love fool. It's true that he won't give up if he doesn't see his wanwan sister.
Muqiqi suddenly thought of something: "eighth master, who picked you up?"
"Pull it out!" Said, Jin Si Mu took Mu Qi Qi's hand and was about to walk into the room, "pull pull to Ma Ma to make a lot of delicious food!"
Mu Qi Qi is pulled by Jin Si Mu and comes to the kitchen all the way.
Jin Yu was standing in front of the kitchen table wearing an apron, and he didn't take off his tie. It seems that after he went home, he took off his suit coat, rolled up his sleeve and went directly into the kitchen.
A smell of food, a taste of home.
"Pull it out!" Jin Si Mu called.
Jin Yu looked back, and Jin Sima winked at him. This was the secret sign that their father and son understood.
The subtext is, it has been identified that your wife is in a bad mood. People have brought you comfort
Jin simu released Muqiqi's hand, jumped to the dining chair, reached for his small bottle, then stepped on the floor with his calf, ran to the living room with his pacifier.
Muqiqi took a few steps forward, went to Jin Yu's body, put his waist in his arms with both hands, and said nothing.
Jin Yu naturally heard about what happened during the day. Otherwise, on his first day in office today, he must have a lot of government affairs. How could he put down his work and rush home so early just to cook a delicious meal for her.
He knows that Qiqi, when she is in a bad mood, always has to eat a meal. She always has her unique way of healing.
"You do what you want!" Mu Qi Qi light sentence, with a little tired, with a little grievance.
Jin Yu smiles. She curls up like a kitten. How can he have the mind to do other things?
"I know..." Jin Yu's words haven't gone on, and his scallion white hands have been blocking his lips.
"You don't have to do anything. I'll stay in the Ministry of foreign affairs with my own skills!" Stubborn tone, but less a wayward, it is more a mature after the persistent.
"I'm hungry! You can cook quickly Muqiqi said, but did not let go.
Jin Yu grinds the tip of her forehead with his chin. "The stove is hot. Be careful to hurt you!"
Muqiqi leaned on his lips for a while and moved his step. His hand was still not loose, but he just went around. He hid behind Jin Yu and leaned on his back.
Jin Yu touched the back of her hand, worried that the oil might burn her. After thinking about it, he hid her hand under the apron, and then he took care of the kitchen utensils again.
For a long time, Muqiqi asked: "husband, is my mother a spy? Is there any unclassified file? "
The voice was low, with a shiver.
Jin Yu didn't expect that she would ask this question. He was slightly stunned. Then he turned off the fire, put his hand into the apron and held her hand.
A long silence.
Jin Yu only felt a damp heat behind her. Did she cry?
It's just that I can't tell her something now.
