I signed the contract and paid three months' rent, which was a total of 9,000 yuan.

The layout of the house is chic, and the two bedrooms are staggered, so no one can interfere with anyone.

The man who has been scolded by the landlord's sister is called Zhang Wei, a northern man, twenty-seven years old this year, who brought his girlfriend to Jingbeipiao five years ago, and has been living here, so he is very familiar with the landlord.

Later, I heard that the days were getting harder and harder, and the money he earned was not as fast as the rent was rising, and his girlfriend followed him for three years, and finally couldn't stand this poor life, broke up and went back to his hometown to find another man, had a car and a house, and soon got married.

When Zhang Wei heard the news, he got drunk that night, crying and laughing, saying that his daughter-in-law had finally come out.

It is precisely because of this that the landlord's sister looks down on him in her heart, and feels that he is too poor to even keep his wife.

These stories were told to He Xiao by the landlord, and Zhang Wei was sitting next to him when he said it, without saying a word, keeping his head down and smoking.

After packing his luggage, He Xiao came out of the room, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Wei sitting on the balcony outside the living room, drinking a can of beer.

He Xiao looked at the time, this guy had been sitting there for three hours, and he had been staring at the traffic in the distance, from evening to dark.

When he got closer, Zhang Wei's decadent appearance became even more obvious.

is 1.72 meters tall, not outstanding looks, and is very honest in dress.

This is the most real ordinary person, as ordinary as his name.

How do you say that? Standing on the street and shouting Zhang Wei can get dozens of responses.

It's mundane.

But He Xiao didn't mean to look down on him, he was mixed up from the bottom, when He Xiao first came to Jingpiao, he was worse than him, he couldn't rent the house, and sometimes he had no money in his pocket, so he slept on the park bench.

Winter is a bit tougher, the weather in the north is very dry and cold, and the wind is strong, and it is too cold to walk on the road with the sun during the day, let alone at night.

At that time, if he was so poor that he couldn't find a house to live in, He Xiao would find a bank to deal with, which had heating inside, which was very comfortable, and was the best choice for homeless.

So He Xiao was a little person from beginning to end, he felt that he was no different from Zhang Wei in front of him, everyone had everyone's suffering.

It's just that he is bitter now, and he has a little bit of a mixed up.

Zhang Wei is very miserable now, but maybe it's just that his opportunity hasn't come yet, maybe in one year, he will soar.

When He Xiao came here to rent a house, he actually saw the story from everyone's face.

The timid and cowardly Zhang Wei represents all living beings, and the grumpy landlord must also have his own unspeakable secrets.

In fact, the landlord is not as cold as Xu Yuan said, although this person seems unkind, but He Xiao can still see from the three-word conversation in the afternoon that the landlord is not bad-hearted.

She was able to take Zhang Wei to live here for five whole years, trying her best not to let him sleep on the street, and even when she had no money, she even found someone to share a house with him, which shows that Zhang Xuran is not a villain in nature.

Except for a bad mouth.

Taking out two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator, He Xiao carried one in one hand, walked to the balcony, and sat opposite Zhang Wei.

"Brother, meet for the first time, we will be roommates in the future, let's have a drink. He slammed open the can and placed it on the table.

Zhang Wei turned his gaze, held the bottle of beer with calloused hands, and said honestly: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome. He Xiao touched a glass with him.

Zhang Wei didn't know what to say, he looked at the neon outside the window, and after a long while, he said with some self-deprecation: "You must think I'm ridiculous, right?"

"Nope. He Xiao shook his head, "A man meets someone he wants to take care of for his whole life when he is most powerless, and everyone has experienced that kind of pain, there is nothing funny." ”

"But they all said I was a licking dog. ”

"That's because the world is so cold, they call the people who love them spare tires, and the affectionate people call the licking dogs, it's their fault, it's none of you. ”

"Thank you. Zhang Wei seems to be running out of words again.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "Actually, I had a dream before, I wanted to be an actor, and I went to drift for a while, but people said that I had no characteristics, so I ran back again, found a job, and drove a big car." ”

"Later, there was a pull of goods, a whole car of more than 20 tons of apples, all overturned on the side of the road, I haven't figured out how to pick it up, dozens of villagers suddenly ran out of the neighborhood to grab my apples, some people also called a car, drove a tractor to pick up, I begged again and again no one paid attention to me, so I sent them to kneel. ”

"My girlfriend said that I couldn't do anything, I didn't have anything left, and I didn't get anything done, so I broke up and went back to my hometown. ”

Zhang Wei didn't know how long he had been holding back these words in his heart, and after he finished speaking, he took a sip of beer fiercely, wiped the slippery corners of his mouth, and didn't know if it was spilled wine or tears.

"Brother, what do you mean by living for someone like me?"

“......”

He Xiao didn't answer, he looked at this man who he only met today, but dared to show him his wounds, and his heart was very complicated.

Life is not easy.

It's so hard!

He suddenly remembered a song.

Maybe the next time he goes to Hangzhou, he can sing this song.

There was some silence in the room.

He Xiao saw Zhang Wei drinking with his head bored, his eyes were red, he was afraid that he really couldn't think about it, so he finally opened his mouth to persuade him: "Brother, the apple is scattered, and the villagers go to pick it up, that's because the villagers' knowledge level is not enough and they don't understand the law, which is bad luck and has nothing to do with your ability." ”

"As for you going to Hengdian to do a group performance, you were said to have no characteristics...... That's because he has no eyes! No feature is obviously the biggest feature!"

"No feature is the biggest feature?" Zhang Wei didn't understand, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, acting is not only for idols, art comes from life, and only people like you who have experienced ups and downs can perform the most real emotions. He Xiao poured chicken soup on this fragile man very seriously, "Friend, we have an ancient Chinese saying that you will die and then live." ”

"Death and then ......"

Zhang Wei muttered in a low voice, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

After a long time, he wiped away his tears and raised his glass.

"Brother, let's go!"

"Let's go!"

He Xiao clinked glasses with him.

A few hours later, Zhang Wei drank too much and was drunk and unconscious.

He Xiao carried him back to the bedroom and threw him on the bed.

This twenty-seven-eight-year-old man was just paralyzed there, full of dreams, and he didn't know what to say.

He Xiao shook his head, turned off the light, gently closed the door, and retreated.

In the dark room, Zhang Wei fell asleep, sat up suddenly, flipped out his mobile phone in a daze, and edited a text message before lying down heavily.

......

A city in the north.

A girl's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a message from a mobile phone number with no notes.

There are only two words on it - good night.
