Chapter 228: Young Man
“...... Let's have two meat buns. ”
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
In the small square of the park, it was noon, and the food stalls were crowded with people.
Lian Ge re-stopped in front of a meat sandwich food stall,
After saying that, the stall owner turned around and quickly got to work.
And the little mouse squatting on Lian Ge's shoulder watched greedily, his head turning with the stall owner's movements.
“...... Give, your two meat buns, a total of sixteen yuan, WeChat and Alipay are all ......"
As he spoke, the stall owner handed two meat buns in a bag to Lian Ge.
......
After paying, Lian Ge took the meat bun and walked towards the bench where he was sitting before.
And the mouse squatting on his shoulder was looking intently at the meat bun that Lian Singer was carrying.
Before he walked to the bench, a figure sitting on the bench appeared in sight,
Just after leaving for a moment, another person sat on the bench where Lian Ge was sitting before,
The man, dressed in a somewhat wrinkled black suit and trousers, with some dust on his black leather shoes, sat on the edge of the bench, leaning back in the chair, and staring into the distance in distraction.
......
didn't stop, Lian Ge walked back to the bench without hurry, and sat down in the position he had sat in before.
"Squeak, squeak......" The mouse squatting on his shoulder squealed twice, touching Lian Ge with his standing forelegs.
Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the mouse and couldn't help but smile,
Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge put one of the meat buns in his hand with a plastic bag on the armrest of the bench next to him.
In an instant, the mouse jumped off his shoulder, removed the cover of the plastic bag on the meat sandwich, and fought against the meat sandwich.
Smiling, Lian Ge also picked up another meat bun and ate it, and at the same time turned his gaze and looked at the person sitting beside him.
......
This is a young man, about twenty years old, looking at the distant gaze, there is numbness and confusion.
Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced in the direction the young man was looking,
It is a bustling city outside the park, with tall buildings towering and some ancient buildings of temples, walls and towers in between.
“...... Sir, you're here to travel to Chang'an, right?"
Perhaps feeling Lian Ge's gaze, the young man spoke up,
"Sort of. Lian Ge glanced at the young man, ate the meat bun, and responded.
"This Chang'an, tourism is a good place...... But if you work here, it's overwhelming. ”
The young man looked into the distance and spoke aloud.
After the words fell, he fell silent again, but as before, he looked into the distance, his eyes were confused.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the young man, didn't say anything, retracted his gaze, took the meat bun and continued to eat,
......
“...... I'm so tired, let's rest for a while. ”
"Okay, I'm tired too, there's a bench over there, let's go and rest. ”
On the lawn, the couple who were taking wedding photos in the park walked towards the bench while talking.
The bride carries the hem of the wedding dress, and the groom also helps to carry it.
Walking to the bench, the bride and groom sat down on the bench behind Lian Ge,
The team of photographers rested on another bench not far away.
“...... Wife, do you want to eat something, there are snacks sold in the square over there, I'll go over and buy them for you. ”
"I'm so tired and I don't feel like I have much appetite. ”
"Then I'll go buy you a bottle of water. ”
"Okay. ”
Before the sweat on the groom's forehead had dried, he stood up again and trotted towards the side of the small square, and asked the team of photographers sitting on the other side.
The team of photographers also got up and walked out of the individual and followed.
......
Around the benches, quiet down again,
Lian Ge ate the meat bun in his hand, listening to the distant noise with the breeze,
On the side, the mouse was concentrating on dealing with the meat bun in front of him.
And the young man still looked at the tall buildings in the distance with confused eyes.
......
"Buzz...... Buzz. ”
The phone vibrated and it was the young man's phone.
Hearing this, the young man paused before realizing that his mobile phone was ringing, and then stretched out his hand and took it out of his suit pocket with some blankness.
Looking at the caller ID, the young man paused, and his eyes changed slightly.
Then he rubbed his face with his hand fiercely, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer and put the phone to his ear.
“...... Hey, Dad...... It's okay, isn't it a holiday today? You called, and I'm still sleeping. ”
The young man buried his head, covered his mobile phone, and said in a relaxed tone,
“...... Didn't I drink too much the day before yesterday? It's okay, it's fine...... Well, the work is good, and the boss is good to me...... Okay, I know, drink less......"
The young man's voice rang around the bench,
Under the sensitive hearing, the voice on the other end of the young man's phone also reached Lian Ge's ear, which was a relatively old male voice.
“...... Baby, there is no work in the field for the past two days, your mother happens to be a little free, I asked her to come and see you, and by the way, I will bring you something to eat. ”
"No need. You don't have to ask your mother to come and run...... I have everything, and I don't need anything to eat. The young man said in a relaxed tone,
Hearing the young man's words, the old male voice on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Silent for a long time,
“...... Baby, if you really can't do it, come back. ”
"Dad......"
When the young man heard this, he became a little choked, and the words were in his throat, and he just screamed, and then he paused again,
"Go home, when you come back, I'll ask your mother to make dumplings for you......"
Listening to the words on the other end of the phone, the young man's eyes were red, his chest was heaving, his hand was holding the phone, and he was taking a deep breath,
“...... Dad, what are you talking about, how can I make a lot of money when I come back? The young man's eyes were red, his voice trembled, and his tone was relaxed, "I'm going to buy you a big house,"
“...... Dad doesn't want a big house, Dad just wants you to be happy. On the other end of the phone, the old voice said.
"Happy, how can you not be happy...... This big city has everything, and our small county town is much more prosperous and lively. ”
The young man wiped the tears that were about to well-up in his eyes and said with a smile,
“...... Okay, Dad, don't talk about it, it's noon, I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to eat. ”
As he spoke, the young man covered his phone and hung up the phone.
......
Around, suddenly quiet again,
Putting the phone back in his pocket, the young man fell silent again, his eyes still red looking into the distance, and his eyes became more and more confused.
“...... Sometimes, I don't even know what I'm doing. Looking into the distance, the young man seemed to be talking to Lian Ge, and he also seemed to be talking to himself,
"I've been in Chang'an for so long, I get up at six o'clock every day, and then take the subway to work...... After a day, go back to your rented room and ...... against the wall"
“...... Now, the job is gone...... I don't really know what I'm doing. ”
The young man looked at the tall buildings in the distance and said.
“...... Little brother, you can't say that. ”
The groom, who had gone to buy water, deliberately slowed down when the young man called before, and now when he heard the young man's words, he said aloud,
“...... Everyone has a difficult time, just get through it. ”
The bridegroom took a few bottles of water, walked to the bench and sat down again.
“...... Come, take a sip of water. ”
After handing a bottle of water to his wife, the bridegroom handed another bottle of water in his hand to Lian Ge and the young man.
When the young man heard this, he turned his head, looked at the smiling groom, and then at the water he handed over,
Stretched out his hand and took it,
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
Holding the water, the young man lowered his head and said.
"Thank you, there are times when it's not easy. The bridegroom shook his head,
