No politeness, no emotional intelligence, all sorts of negative words tossing back and forth in the mind.

Lin Xiao and the girl who asked looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Mr. Huang ...... The personality is still so irritable. The girl stroked her bangs on her forehead and pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

Lin Xiao thought to himself, this can be summed up in a short sentence, at least he should go to the mental hospital to check it, maybe he can get a few pages to prove it.

"That's right," the girl's mood quickly returned to normal, looked at Lin Xiao and said, "I haven't seen you before, did you just move over?"

"Ah, yes. Lin Xiao smiled and replied casually.

I don't know if it's because I haven't worked for too long, Lin Xiao feels that his social skills have decreased a lot, and he doesn't have any idea of wanting to talk to the other party more at all.

After saying a few casual words, Lin Xiao hurriedly said goodbye to the other party and went straight downstairs.

When she was almost busy, she brought up the matter with Xu Yuanhang. It's not for gossip, it's just that Xu Yuanhang will live here for a long time in the future, and it's better to have a number of the characters and relationships of the neighbors around him.

"Oh, you mean the one upstairs, the one on the fifth floor?" Xu Yuanhang was not as surprised as he imagined, and seemed to have known something in advance.

"There are only five floors in this building, and if it is not the fifth floor, it can only be a god who camps on the roof. ”

"Hey, I know, when I came to see the house and decided to rent it, Brother Lu told me. ”

"Do you still bring an early greeting?" Lin Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth.

Neighborhood conflicts are common and normal, but it's the first time I've seen a neighbor who has just moved in. Just like the children who quarrel at school, not only do they cut off contact with each other, but they also have to pull the people around them, and whoever is with each other is their enemy.

"Sort of, but he told me directly at the time that he didn't have much to do with the upstairs household, but he didn't say much else. ”

"Why?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that he couldn't get used to it. ”

Rampant in the township, four big characters rose from Lin Xiao's head.

"But the upstairs is not a permanent resident, and the time to deal with it is very short. ”

The upstairs house is mostly empty, and only in the second half of the year does the owner lend the house to his friends.

"It's also an e-commerce women's clothing, but I didn't ask much, it seems to be a Pinduoduo platform. ”

"Pinduoduo doesn't do group buying fruits?When did you still make women's clothing?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised, she didn't know much about the clothing industry, and knew that many stores in the e-commerce industry were doing seasonal business, but she didn't expect it to be this platform.

Even the group buying fruit, it was only before Chen Niannian always pulled her to buy it, and she only knew about it.

"You...... Alas, forget it," Xu Yuanhang sighed and said, "You don't need to understand anyway." ”

Also, she's not going to be a streamer now.

"Do you want me to help you clean up?" When it was almost cleaned up, Lin Xiao leaned his back against the windowsill and looked at Xu Yuanhang and asked.

Xu Yuanhang glanced out and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll tidy it up slowly later, and there aren't many things." ”

"Okay, don't work too hard to take it easy, the big deal is to clean up for two more days. ”

"Well," Xu Yuanhang laughed rarely, and said, "It's not easy, you also have a day to persuade people not to work too hard." ”

"Isn't this an accident," Lin Xiao turned around, looked out the window, and said softly: "At this time, I feel that life is really fragile." ”

"yes, or maybe it's not easy. Xu Yuanhang also sighed.

The two of them stood silently on the edge of the windowsill, watching the sky slowly darken outside.

Next to the residential building is a somewhat narrow country road, the kind where two cars have to be extremely careful when passing shoulders, and a little next to it, there is a large area of farmland. By this time, almost all the grain in the fields had been taken home. The fields are still scattered with yellow paddy, but due to the southern sky, when I look up, it is still green.

Lin Xiao suddenly understood why Huang Lu liked to stand here and smoke, looking at the endless night and fields in the distance, no matter how irritable his mood was, there was no way to become turbulent at this time.

Compared to the world, these things in life and work seem to be completely worthless, even people.

"If she came to ask me, what should she say?" After a long time, Lin Xiao slowly spoke.

This she is naturally Qi Ji of value.

In the past few years, she has not communicated much with Qi Ji, but there are a lot.

Qi Ji has a cheerful personality and can even be said to be strong, but she is also quite attentive to Xu Yuanhang's friends. Lin Xiao, as Xu Yuanhang's plastic hair, can receive the blessings of the other party's hand on time every year on festivals and birthdays.

This once flattered Lin Xiao, and when he was on a business trip abroad, he always thought of bringing some gifts to the other party. It's almost the only social interaction left after she's busy with work.

"No, it won't. Xu Yuanhang shook his head, I don't know if it's because of smoking, his voice is hoarse.

"That's fine. Lin Xiao didn't ask much, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

In love, others are the least qualified to put their beaks in the way. Even if you have a good relationship, you are just friends, and you can't participate in and interfere in each other's lives.

What's more, she and Xu Yuanhang and Qi Ji are not familiar to this extent.

Maintaining proper social distancing has always been one of Lin Xiao's mottos.

"If you need help, call me again. ”

"Well, when you're done, I'll invite you over for dinner. ”

Lin Xiao smiled exaggeratedly, with disbelief written on his face. In Xu Yuanhang's current state, it is already good to be able to sober himself to make a bowl of instant noodles, and it is better not to expect this kind of thing to cook and invite the Quartet.

However, she didn't break it, and simply said goodbye to the other party, turned around and walked down the stairs. When he walked to the third floor, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that this building obviously had an elevator.

After hesitating, Lin Xiao didn't immediately go around to the elevator. Xu Wei looked at the distance and relaxed for too long just now, and even with the current mood was very relaxed, with an indescribable lightness, which made her not want to think about other things at all, she just wanted to walk slowly like this.

Watching the dim light in the stairwell turn on and suddenly go out when turning, it was not an empty place, only the footsteps of oneself echoed, it sounded lonely and quiet.

When he walked downstairs, Lin Xiao looked at the small truck in front of him and hesitated and didn't go up directly. The rare good mood made her suddenly want to walk a little longer, so she turned around and decided to walk around the residential building twice.

Unlike the quiet of the office building, there are many flat knitting machine factories in the vicinity, and even at night, you can still hear the roar of those machines. It's not noisy, it's just enough to make people feel empty, but they don't feel the environment is dead.

It seems that working in this environment is no worse than working in an office building.

A place where people can relax and not be nervous, with a strong human touch, it is like another kind of rest.

Lin Xiao unexpectedly had a rare feeling that it would be nice to be able to work here. After coming back to his senses suddenly, Lin Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The interview that the two hated should not be able to continue working here in the future.

An inexplicable sense of loss surged up in my heart.

Lin Xiao looked up at the front, she had already walked to the other end of the residential building. This side happens to be close to other residential buildings, and compared to the cold and quiet at the other end, this side is much more lively, and it should be regarded as the main road in the community.

Looking up, the light in front of me is obviously more dazzling, it is estimated that it is the rush hour after work, and many people are shuttling over there, like a small street. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced to the side, and subconsciously looked up. With the help of the street lamps that are not particularly bright in the walkway, I can see clearly a plaque hanging on a high place.

It's almost half of the wall, I can't say whether it's shabby or heroic, I just feel that in the current environment, it seems to reveal an indescribable, wanton, and even barbaric.

FANTASY

Fantes.

It's amazing, it's amazing.

Lin Xiao knew in an instant that this should be the name of Huang Lu's shop. It really seems like he can do it.

fantasy, indeed, is amazing.

Among the countless gray rural residential buildings, there are countless fashionable shops full of bright colors. With a unique self-aesthetic, it constantly impacts the world, making people willingly admire and pay.

It's just that it doesn't have much to do with me.

The new life that I thought I was ushering in was actually not suitable for me at all.

She won't go to work either.

Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone, and the last one on the first page of the WeChat dialog box was the conversation with Huang Lu. In the last sentence, the other party sent the address over, and when it came to contact, she replied with a good thank you.

Since then, there has been no message, and it is estimated that there will really be no more contact in the future. This kind of long-lost and unfamiliar mood, the other party may completely disappear into their own lives, turbulent, even abrupt.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, stood on the side of the road for a while, put away his mobile phone and got into the big truck, ready to return the car.

"Sister Lin!" Wang Dong heard the sound, walked out of it, looked at her and waved his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Why did you come so soon?"

"If you don't come back, you'll all have to get off work," Lin Xiao glanced behind Wang Dong and said, "If I drive this car back to our community, it is estimated that I will receive countless calls asking me to move the car and complaints about occupying more parking spaces in one night." ”

"It's only seven or eight o'clock, where can I get off work? Wang Dong took the key and laughed twice, and said, "I thought you had to come quite late, Xu Yuanhang's studio could be moved so easily, and the speed was fast enough." ”

"There's not much in itself. ”

Wang Dong is the proprietress of the outgoing warehouse that Lin Xiao cooperated with in the past, and his son, who has just graduated from college not long ago, and still retains the vigor and vitality that belongs to young people. The people I can come into contact with in the warehouse every day are aunts and uncles who are over forty years old, and when I see Lin Xiao, who is bright and easy to talk, I am even more willing to have more contact, and every time I come, I become extremely enthusiastic, and over time, I can barely be regarded as friends.

Although Xu Yuanhang's studio is not large, it has also made so many hits. The frequency is not high, and it is estimated that there will be only one or two times a year when the number of fabrics purchased is large. In this case, it is difficult to find a reliable and cooperative roll shop. It was only through Lin Xiao's relationship that he was introduced to Wang Dong's side.

The number is not large, compared to the order of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of meters, one or two kilometers is not a difficult matter, and Wang Dong also met Xu Yuanhang.

It's just that business is not good this year, and I haven't been to the warehouse, and I don't know if the warehouse has some cars and whether they can be used, so I asked Lin Xiao to help ask.

"How long have you been working overtime?" Lin Xiao asked casually, and his eyes involuntarily fell to the warehouse door behind Wang Dong.

"Since August, I've been almost busy, but I'm working overtime, just half a month ago, I'm busy with you...... Wiesen's order. ”

"Well, the Paris show has just ended, and it's time to be busy. Lin Xiao nodded, and didn't continue to say anything, but his eyes stayed behind Wang Dong.

Wang Dong also noticed her gaze, and the two didn't speak for a while.

"Then ......" Lin Xiao finally withdrew his gaze, clapped his hands, pulled out a smile, and said, "Then it's okay, I'll go back first, and we will eat together next time." ”

"Okay. Wang Dong glanced back, lowered his voice and hesitated: "Sister Lin, you actually want to ask if Aunt Chen is there, right?"

"Ahh Lin Xiao answered twice, didn't look back, but didn't continue to walk.

"She's ...... now. A few months ago, she didn't come to the warehouse much, and her eldest son took her to his hometown in Guizhou a few days ago. Wang Dong looked at her cautiously and said, "Their family...... I don't think I'm going to trouble you anymore, is I?"

"No," Lin Xiao smiled, exhaled a long breath, and looked a little indifferent: "Her brother is also quite sensible, and he hasn't been in touch for a long time." ”

"Then you, are you still sending them money?"

Lin Xiao didn't speak, Wang Dong glanced at her, and said as if talking to himself: "Actually, I think it's really not ...... with you in this matter."

"Then there's nothing else to do, so I'll go first. Before Wang Dong's words were finished, Lin Xiao directly interrupted the other party: "I'll invite you to dinner when I go back." ”

"Huh-" Wang Dong looked at her back as she left, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

Warehouses are usually located in some remote places, where the rent of the factory is cheap, and the surrounding villages are cheap, and it is convenient for migrant workers to rent a house and go to work. The only downside is that it's hard to get a taxi, especially on a night like this.

The night in late autumn was a little cool, and he didn't feel anything when he helped Xu Yuanhang move things during the day, but now he was completely idle, and when he was blown by the cool breeze, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel excited.

It's cold.

Walking along the road for a while, Lin Xiao was really cold, so he took out his mobile phone and planned to take a taxi back.

It was at this time that the bank's text message popped up.

The balance, one thousand two hundred dollars.

Subtract the monthly mortgage and that's all there is to it. Lin Xiao was a little stunned for a while, thinking about it, she almost didn't work for a whole year this year, and after subtracting the mortgage to be repaid in the next few months, she transferred a lot of money to Aunt Chen.

Now this thousand two should be regarded as her last belongings.

It's really like when I first graduated, empty-handed except for a lot of blood, there is nothing. Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, and thought with a wry smile: "Actually, it's not as good as it was now, and I don't even have any blood." ”

She held the phone, and her fingertips slid back and forth on the contact twice, and finally froze on the word Huang Lu and did not move.

Going to the interview to be an anchor is Xu Yuanhang's proposal.

It's not easy to change jobs, and it takes a lot of determination to change careers. Huang Lu's shop is the first step she finally took.

But it also proves how difficult it is to take the first step.

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed, and was about to put away his mobile phone when he saw the page of WeChat popping up on the phone.

Caller, Huang Lu.

What was he calling for?
