Chapter 6 Expired Canned Fish

Kaneko has seen a Wong Kar-wai movie, the male protagonist in the movie will buy canned pineapples to expire every day, and there is a line in that movie that "saury will expire, meat sauce will expire, even plastic wrap will expire, in this world, what else will not expire?"

Jin Zi also had such a relationship, that is, after she just graduated from college, her classmates were busy submitting resumes and shuttling among various campus recruitment companies. Jin Zi was not in a hurry, because she came to her aunt's house in the southern city to help during the summer vacation of her sophomore year, and her aunt opened a custodian class, and Jin Zi could help tutor her English courses and summer homework, and her aunt wanted Jin Zi to come to the southern city after graduation, not to go back to her hometown, and Jin Zi didn't think of a better place to go, so she agreed.

Before coming, Jin Zi hung his resume on the Internet, fresh graduates are not very demanding, and it is easy to find a job, and soon Jin Zi interviewed for a small advertising company's graphic design, usually do some brand signs and advertisements in batches, Jin Zi has also gone wrong, but the manager and colleagues are also very good, never blamed her, she also learned a lot in this small company.

Kaneko started her boarding life again, her aunt's house was very large, there were three classrooms on the upper and lower floors, and usually when Kaneko came back from work, a group of dark little eyes would look at her, and then the children lowered their heads and wrote their homework. There are a total of nine people in my aunt's family, and my cousin and cousin are all married and have children, and the whole family lives together.

Jin Zi often heard his cousin and sister-in-law arguing in the room at night, a little trivial thing can quarrel for a long time, and sometimes he will drop things, and he can't stand it, and his aunt will rush in and reprimand the two of them, which can be exchanged for a night's sleep.

Jin Zi's residence is a year, and when he comes back after returning home for the New Year, his aunt's family is also going to move, and now the rented house is going to be demolished, so everyone chooses a place not far away, and the rent will be twice as expensive as the original, and the size is about the same as the original, so Jin Zi and all the people in his aunt's family slowly transfer things little by little like ants moving.

After moving a few times, Jin finally knew what the streamlined mode of life was, in fact, what people really needed for life was only enough for a suitcase, and most of the rest were repetitive or those that looked good but were useless. There is always a pile of tatters in the university dormitory, and they are reluctant to throw it away. When he actually graduated and left, Jin Zi found that there were actually some things that should really be given up, why didn't he throw them away earlier. Jin Zi was the first to leave the dormitory, saying goodbye to his roommates who accompanied him day and night, and stepped into society without giving himself a chance to breathe.

Jin Zi met Wang Qi in the second year of work, they are a working relationship, Wang Qi is the person in charge of the brand, usually Jin Zi designs some pictures and materials to dock with him. Jin Zi has not completely reduced to a tool person who can only work, so she generally uses the company's QQ to communicate with customers, and never adds work-related people on WeChat. Wang Qi is three years older than Jinzi, he is a very serious person at work, so every time Jin refuses his modification on the grounds that he is about to get off work, he proposes to add Jinzi's WeChat to communicate, and after a few times, Jin Zi also felt annoyed, so he added his WeChat, and after adding it, Jin quickly typed a line of words "It is forbidden to discuss work-related things on WeChat, and private WeChat is only for life." The other party replied after a long time, "It's really the first time I've seen someone like you who has a clear distinction between public and private." ”

Slowly, Jin Zi communicated with Wang Qi during the day, and the two of them chatted about some common topics after work at night, Jin Zi liked to chase American dramas when he was in school, maybe Wang Qi had watched so many more movies than Jin Zi due to his age, so sometimes the two of them chatted and talked about the dead end of the problem, and gradually there was no more private contact.

Jin company has a girl from the marketing department Xiaomeng usually has contact with Wang Qi, they will represent Party A and Party B after the end of each project to carry out the acceptance, although Jin Zi has nothing to do with her, but can also feel that this girl is very scheming. After an acceptance, she said to Jinzi: "Wang Qi said that his family didn't let him find a girlfriend from other places, so he broke up with you." The gold exploded suddenly, and she asked suspiciously: "We never said that we wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend, where did he come from and the family didn't agree?" Jin Zi is not a vague person, she immediately took out her mobile phone to question Wang Qi, Wang Qi was also confused, he replied to Jin Zi and said: "I haven't said this, and didn't Xiaomeng say that you have a boyfriend, a big man of more than one meter and eight, you still like it very much." Jin Ziqi was angry, and Wang Qi said at this time: "It's work time, and I don't want you to take up your working time to do these boring things." Jin Zi was suddenly annoyed: "You give me money, what money do you give me!" Wang Qi also felt that what he said just now was inappropriate, and changed his words and said: "Your boss gave you money to let you do this kind of thing that has nothing to do with work when you go to work?" Jin Zi immediately replied: "Do you want to care!" Then hung up the phone angrily, found Wang Qi's WeChat and deleted it immediately.

Time has passed like this, and Jin Zi and Wang Qi still have occasional contact at work, but Jin Zi is also a businesslike face. In the peak sales season, every year the brand will do some styling to attract business, and this year is not unexpected, so Wang Qi came to Jinzi their advertising company for help, and Jinzi also helped them do a few seasonal styling designs under the arrangement of the leaders.

After that, Wang Qi always came to ask Jin Zi for dinner, and Jin Zi replied: "Let's talk about it." Perhaps due to the cultural differences between the north and the south, Wang Qi understood this sentence as "Let's talk about it when we eat." But in the mouth of the northerner Jinzi, the meaning of this sentence is similar to "forget it", Jin Zi went home as usual after work, and received a call from Wang Qi at home.

"Where are you?" said Wang Qi happily. Kaneko replied, "I'm at home." Wang Qi asked in surprise: "What are you doing when you go home?" Didn't you say that you were going to eat together?" Jin Zi was also puzzled: "Didn't I say it again." Wang Qi was even more surprised, "Isn't it the meaning of saying it again at dinner?" Jin Zi was speechless, so he could only reply: "Then I'll tell you the address of my house, if you still want to eat, come over." ”

Ten minutes later, Wang Qi arrived at the gate of Aunt Jinzi's community, Jin Zi came out and saw a black car, Wang Qi sat in the car helplessly, Jin Zi got into the car and fastened his seat belt, and heard Wang Qi say a little depressed: "I thought you agreed to go out to eat with me, and I was very happy this day." Jin Zi didn't answer, and interrupted: "Then where to eat, let's go." ”

Half an hour later, they arrived at a Thai restaurant, where Kaneko thought the curry prawns were good, and she was going to slaughter Wang Qi for a beating, and then the two of them parted ways. Unexpectedly, after eating, Wang Qi asked Jin Zi very seriously: "The boyfriend that Xiaomeng said is fake." Kaneko quipped, "Then don't your family also disagree?" Kaneko said again: "It's been a long time since we've both of us, so let's just be ordinary friends." Wang Qi looked annoyed, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only send the gold home the same way.

Jin Zi also learned when he didn't contact him some time ago that Wang Qi is a local, and although the conditions of his family are not very rich, at least there is no need to worry about housing, and Jin Zi also knows that people here are very xenophobic, and some boys are also more obedient to their mothers, because it is usually the mother who holds the economic power in her hands, and if she encounters the object that the southern mother does not agree with, the two people are basically a dead end, unless the boy himself has particularly strong economic strength.

Jin Zi is not in a hurry to talk about friends, let alone get married, she just thinks that people should be pragmatic, the kind of rich second generation played in idol dramas, those romantic episodes, 99% of them will not appear in life, and if you want to stay in this city, you can't always live in your aunt's house, you have to have a home of your own.

In fact, Jin Zi himself knew that he was not pure about this relationship, so after several dates with Wang Qi, Jin Zi quietly took Wang Qi's hand. The two of them began silently, and they walked silently for a long time, until they reached the door of Aunt Jinzi's house.

Jin Zi is not moved by love, and even when she said goodbye to Wang Qi, a very strong voice suddenly told herself in her head: "I won't get together with him." Jin Zi also felt very uncomfortable, people can really deceive others, but they can't deceive their own hearts.

Jin Zi can also feel that Wang Qi doesn't like him so much, maybe it's just because she helped him at work, or maybe it's because he is also at an age where he should find a girlfriend and there is really nothing suitable.

In this way, more than a year passed, and the parents of Jin Zi and Wang Qi also knew that they were dating, so they proposed to walk around each other, because Jinzi's parents were in their hometown, so it was Wang Qi who was received by his aunt's family first, and the day he came to the door was the Lantern Festival, and Jin Zi helped Wang Qi, who worked overtime, to buy a bunch of gifts to bring to the door, and Wang Qi hurriedly went to cut his head after work. Because he is a local, his aunt who has lived in the city for a long time also knows the advantages of the locals, so everyone is happy, and Jin Zi is also trying to play her role well, Wang Qi received no less than ten calls from his mother for a meal, and Jin Zi didn't think so, because almost every time they go out, whether it is a solo meal or a group dinner, Wang Qi's mother will call Wang Qi every once in a while, sometimes ask what kind of meal they eat, sometimes ask where the car is parked, anyway, they are some very trivial things, Jin Zi is very unaccustomed, but he can't say anything。

The first time Jin Zi went to Wang Qi's house was after Wang Qi's long-term business trip, Wang Qi's parents were older than she imagined, both of them were retired, and they had a retirement salary every month, and they could do something they liked every day. Wang Qi's house is a three-story self-built house, which they bought many years ago in the hands of villagers in this area, Jin Zi is a very discerning girl, she will actively answer the questions raised by Wang Qi's parents, and will also find some interesting topics to chat with from time to time.

When Wang Qi went out to work, Jin Zi would come to Wang Qi's house to visit his parents, sometimes with some seasonal fruits, sometimes with some hometown specialties. Wang Qi's mother will also tell Jin Zi a lot of Wang Qi's stories, which can be detailed to how many girlfriends Wang Qi has talked about, what each girlfriend looks like, every time Jin Zi knows some key details, he will go home and call Wang Qi to confront him, whether the wallet he is using now is given by his ex-girlfriend, whether the scarf he wears is not woven by his ex-ex-girlfriend, every time he is unfortunately hit, Wang Qi can only promise to throw away these things after being discovered. In fact, Jin Zi also knows that Wang Qi is not a person who can't forget the past, he just lives carefully, and there is no need to deliberately change things if they can still be used, anyway, they are all bought with money.

When the conflict broke out in Wang Qi's family to buy a new house, Wang Qi's mother first looked at a very old school district house, because there are the top few key primary schools in the city, Wang Qi also obeyed his mother's words, they quickly sold a house divided by demolition, paid the down payment for this old school district house, and the rest of the loan was also called by Wang Qi's mother every month, Wang Qi also notified Jinzi, saying that the wedding house should be bought near his home, Jin Zi is not actually the kind of girl who has no opinions, she hopes that her home can be selected by her, but she did not expect this incident to cause Wang Qi's mother to be disgustedSince then, Wang Qi and Jin Zi have always had indescribable awkwardness when they get along together, and both of them are obviously not as happy as before, but fortunately, there is more time to be separated than time to get together, and Jin Zi has not thought too much about it.

In the blink of an eye, the two have been dating for more than two years, and Jin Zi also took Wang Qi home to show his parents during the Chinese New Year, and when he went to the station from Wang Qi's house, Jin Zi felt that the atmosphere seemed to be extremely cold, and everyone didn't laugh or speak, and it was weird that he couldn't speak.

The family in the north was very welcoming, and Kaneko's parents were also quite satisfied, but after returning from their hometown, the two never mentioned the matter of getting married. After a few months, Wang Qi went to Hangzhou because of a job transfer, and Jin Zi went to see him during the holidays and wanted to clarify the relationship between the two.

Wang Qi took Jin Zi back to his dormitory, and Jin Zi asked straight to the point: "My parents are asking when we will get married, and they have also prepared a dowry for me, and they have sold a house in their hometown, and they have moved to live in the house that was demolished." Jin Zi recalled that day she was shopping in the mall, received a call from her mother, her mother said that Dad drank too much, Dad grabbed the phone, whining and crying, he said to Jin Zi that the house was sold, for fear that Jin Zi would have no money when he got married, Jin Zi also cried, she had never seen her father like this, and she also knew that her parents liked this house very much, the house was sold, they could only move to a farther suburb to live, and it was a lot more to go back and forth to work, Jin Zi's mother advised Jin Zi not to think too much, she said that it was a waste that the house was empty over there, so it was better to sell this side to live。 It was this phone call that made Jin Zi make up her mind to urge marriage, although she and Wang Qi are not vigorous love, but after all, it has been so long, Jin Zi is also honest and honest to Wang Qi, but in recent months, I feel that the relationship between the two is very weird. Wang Qi also said this when he saw this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Jin Zi with relief: "Actually, my mother didn't agree half a year ago, and the family always asks me if I broke up with you." Jin Zi didn't expect that in the end, he was really hit by Xiaomeng's crow's mouth, and in the end, they still fell on the obstacle that already knew the result. Jin Zi was silent for a while, then looked up and said, "Then we don't have anything to say." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jin Zi bought the ticket to go back, Wang Qi also followed her all the way to the station, Jin Zi still remembered that before entering the ticket gate, she heard Wang Qi whisper: "Can you not go." She pretended not to hear and walked into the station without looking back.

In the car, Jin Zi deleted all Wang Qi's contact information, and their mutual friends also found that Jin Zi had withdrawn a lot of groups, so they came to ask, and after Jin Zi explained the reason, they all said that there was no way, and the obstacles at home were like a mountain on the road, and people were also powerless. Jin Zi didn't cry, her mind flashed the picture of the two of them getting along together over the years, those happiness are indeed real, and it can only be said that there is no fate, and even for a moment, Jin Zi feels extremely relaxed.

Jinzi's family also knew the news of the breakup between the two, and at the same time expressed regret and anger, wondering why Wang Qi didn't make this situation clear earlier, Jinzi called Wang Qi after a drunken time and asked Wang Qi: "Why did you know that we couldn't get married, but you still didn't make it clear to me earlier?" Wang Qi replied: "Because I can't help it." Jin Zi cried and asked him, "Then will you be willing to do it now?" There was a choked voice from the earpiece, and then a voice said, "I can't give it up now, I just can't delay you any longer." ”

That was the last conversation between Jin Zi and Wang Qi, and maybe for the rest of their lives, they would never have anything to do with each other.

When Jin Zi was sorting out the things he got back from Wang Qi, he found a box of canned fish in the box, and looked at the date that had expired for more than a month, Jin Zi remembered Wong Kar Wai's movie, and also remembered the weird taste of the past six months, it turned out that this relationship had already expired, and Jin Zi didn't know it at all, which was really ridiculous. Kaneko threw the canned fish into the trash, and she said to herself happily: "It's good that I didn't open it and eat it, otherwise I would have had diarrhea and ended up in the hospital." She laughed stupidly for a while, then stunned for a while, turned and went downstairs to eat the dinner that her uncle had cooked.

Today's dream: Jin Zi dreamed that he was drowning, the water was very cold, the ice man wanted to pee, Jin fluttered everywhere to find the toilet, but he never found it, when he woke up, it was already dawn, fortunately he didn't find the toilet, Jin Zi thought to himself, otherwise such a big person would have to wet the bed, and it would be really embarrassing to be seen by the little nieces.
