The old house is almost decorated.

There is still a portion of the balance that has not been settled.

It was still early, so He Yuan went to his senior sister to settle the final payment.

When He Yuan walked to Senior Sister's shop, there was a noise inside.

"Ding Bo, let me tell you, there is no money, and you will not kill me!"

"Impossible, I've heard, you just took a few jobs, how can you have no money!"

The sound of an argument came from inside the shop.

He Yuan's footsteps paused for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

He felt that he was quite unlucky, and he ran into their family conflicts on both occasions.

But on another level, maybe it wasn't his coincidence.

But that's how they live every day?

Thinking about it like this, He Yuan suddenly felt that his senior sister was actually quite pitiful.

The voices in the shop are getting louder and louder.

He Yuan looked inside and saw the two scuffling together.

A little girl of six or seven years old was crying beside her.

He Yuan recognized it, it was a photo that my senior sister often posted in the circle of friends.

It's her daughter.

No matter how the husband and wife are doing, at least the children are innocent.

He Yuan sighed, walked into the store, pulled the little girl aside, and whispered softly: "Don't cry." ”

The two who were fighting coldly saw that there were outsiders and stopped.

The man glanced at He Yuan, he didn't know him, and after staring at it twice, he turned his head and said to his senior sister: "Anyway, I'll come over tonight, and I must get the money!"

After dropping the words, he threw the door away.

On the other side, the senior sister wiped her face, took a breath, and a strong smile appeared on her face: "Xiaoyuan, why are you here." ”

He Yuan stood up, habitually wanting to take out a cigarette, and after seeing the little girl on the side, he stopped again.

"The house was renovated, and I came over to pay the final payment. ”

"Is the renovation finished, have you checked it? As she spoke, the senior sister pulled the little girl aside and whispered comfortingly.

"Almost, there may be some details, if you have any questions, I'll look for you again. He Yuan said, took out his mobile phone, "It's okay to scan this QR code, right?"

He Yuan pointed to the table, on which there were two QR codes for payment.

"It's fine. Senior sister said without raising her head.

Just as He Yuan was transferring money, an aunt hurriedly walked in.

Seeing that the store was in a mess, the aunt said angrily: "That bastard came over to ask for money again?"

The senior sister looked calm, and glanced in the direction of He Yuan.

The aunt reacted, pulled the senior sister aside, and whispered: "I told you, this kind of scum, once entangled, you can't get rid of it." Now, he's on our side. ”

Auntie was heartbroken.

The senior sister whispered a few words with her, then listened to the aunt nod, turned to the little girl and said, "Come, Yanyu, come here, go home and play with your mother-in-law." ”

The little girl sobbed, and her mother-in-law took her hands and walked out of the store.

Waiting for the aunt to leave, He Yuan took the mobile phone and shook it at the senior sister: "It's been turned around, you check it." ”

Senior Sister rubbed her red and swollen eyes and said to He Yuan, "I saw it." ”

After being silent for a while, she said to He Yuan: "This time I let you see the joke." ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. He Yuandao.

This time he finally pulled out his cigarette and lit it for himself.

Glancing at his senior sister, He Yuan took out another one and gave it to her.

After lighting a cigarette for her sister, she took a puff and exhaled the smoke.

Under the haze of smoke, she looks a kind of decadent sexy.

"Xiaoyuan, do you have time today, accompany me to drink. Senior sister said quietly.

"Don't you look at the storefront?" He Yuan pointed to the mess that filled the room.

"Let's talk about it when we come back. The senior sister brushed her messy hair.

He Yuan blinked his eyes and said "um".

Riding the senior sister's car, the two came to the bar street.

This neighborhood was originally a famous food street, that is, a snack street.

When He Yuan was young, if anyone invited supper, they would basically come here.

However, because it is too lively at night, coupled with the heavy smell of oil smoke, the small shed occupies the road, which seriously affects the appearance of the city.

So after complaints from surrounding residents, the street was eventually demolished.

Here are the memories of the older generation.

After the demolition of Delicious Street, the nearby houses were also demolished.

The newly built street was still intended to be a service industry, so many bars were built.

However, as a project that the city is concerned about, it is obvious that there can be no sound places here, so the newly opened bars are basically clean bars.

After two years of work, the bar did not take off, and with the entry of brands such as MUSE, the popularity of this street gradually disappeared.

Many vendors have started the catering industry again, and in the past few years, they have done well.

He Yuan ordered a dry pot and ordered a few side dishes.

When handing over the order, the senior sister stopped the waiter and asked for a case of beer.

The waiter looked at He Yuan, and He Yuan waved his hand: "Let's have a box, I want ice." By the way, serve a cold dish first. ”

The wine was served quickly.

The waiter asked if she wanted to open the wine, and the senior sister waved her hand.

After the waiter left, the senior sister picked out a bottle of wine and took a chopstick.

One end is stuck on the main bottle cap, the other end is on the thumb of the left hand, and the right hand slams the chopsticks on the slap.

With a "pop", the beer bottle opened.

The senior sister picked up the second bottle casually and opened the wine in the same way.

Then the senior sister picked two wine glasses, filled the glasses, and took one of them and drank it all in one gulp.

He Yuan looked at his senior sister's fingers, which were white and tender, with only a red mark on them.

He Yuan admired their way of opening wine.

He has seen many people open wine, some with teeth, some with lighters, all handsome.

Unlike him, he can only honestly use that kind of little Qizi.

Senior sister toasted three cups in a row, and He Yuan pushed the cold dish forward and said, "Let's eat some food." ”

"Laugh if you want. Senior sister said.

He Yuan's action of picking up the vegetables paused, and then put it into the bowl as if nothing happened.

"Don't you think I'm pitiful for such a man. Senior sister said.

"Why do you say that? He Yuandao.

Most Sichuan dishes are relatively greasy, so the side dishes are more refreshing.

He Yuan's appetite is not very good, so he prefers to eat side dishes and appetize.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, anyway, everyone around me thinks so. Senior Sister smiled, her face a little tired.

"Why do you care so much about other people's opinions. He Yuan took two bites and put down his chopsticks.

"Otherwise, explain to others, I'm fine, I'm fine, you don't have to care about me?"

"Then people will only think that you are being reckless. He Yuandao.

Senior sister glanced at He Yuan: "You know a lot." ”

"Get used to it. He Yuan shrugged, "My mother left early, when I was a child, I had dinner at home, and almost every relative would tell me, Xiaoyuan, you are so pitiful, your mother left so early, and she has suffered you all these years." ”

He Yuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Sometimes I feel very annoyed, and when I say that I'm actually fine, they will look at me with a very strange look, and then whisper in the back." Either 'this kid is so sensible, it's a pity', or 'this kid is so cold-blooded, he won't be sad when his mother leaves'. I discovered that in fact, no matter what you say, whether you say it or not, complain or not, there is something to talk about in other people's mouths. ”

"They're just idle. He Yuan put down his glass.

"At first, I was also very annoyed, but I finally forgot something, and when they mentioned it, I remembered it again. I even thought, since you want to know what it's like to feel like so much, why don't you just try it with your parents?"

"But when I grew up, I thought, hey, it's too angry, I can't do that. ”

"But those people, it's really annoying. The senior sister clenched the cup, and her chest rose and fell.

"Actually, I've seen a lot, and that's it. ”

"I have a colleague, a native of Beijing, a technician, who has three houses in Beijing at that time in one or five years, and he is a technical director, and his salary was 35,000 a few years ago. ”

"I have a house, a car, and a daughter, I'm very happy, right?" asked He Yuan.

Senior sister nodded.

"It stands to reason that he should have a very chic life with such a high income, right? But since I have known him, it has been five or six years, and I have not seen him eat out except for a meal when I left Beijing a while ago. ”

He told me that he was poor, he didn't dare to buy a set of clothes for a year, he had a car, but he didn't dare to drive, the fuel was too expensive, he drove to the subway station, parked on the side of the road, and then took the subway to and from work. ”

I asked him why he was living so poorly, and he said that he was poor, and his daughter's monthly expenses, food, medical expenses, and various training courses cost 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, plus to repay the mortgage and car loan, and every month is basically moonshine. His income is either invested in his daughter or in his house, and every penny has to be broken into two cents. He Yuan took another bite of side dishes.

The senior sister drank the wine one by one, with a thoughtful expression.

After a while, she looked up, "Are you comforting me?"

"Comfort you? no, no, no. He Yuan shook his head.

"I just wanted to tell you, in fact, everyone is doing a good job. ”

"People are always used to showing their glamorous side to others. ”

"Some people can see the good and think, wow, people work so hard, I have to learn from them. Some people see the dark side, what's 'she can get on the throne, it must be an unspoken rule', or 'she's so beautiful, it's not to be by a man', or 'what's the use of working hard, it's not as good as other people's two suites'. This kind of person, because they are like that, they feel that other people should be worse than them, and they feel very happy when they see something happen to others. ”

"I like to look at the bright side, and you think, wow, is there really anyone in this world who can be so happy?"

"Yes, they're happier than you think. ”

Senior sister was stunned for a moment.

"They take pictures, they climb rocks, they learn to swim, they play guitar. They open a company, do design, work on plans, and take on projects. They work hard to improve themselves, live a glamorous life in front of outsiders, even if they encounter a little setback, what is it, people will only think, eh, successful people should be like this. He Yuandao.

"Success studies always tell you that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Heh, it's all. In fact, everyone is living the same, some people let you see, some people let you not see, there are always villains talking behind your back, they themselves are not good, and they don't want others to be good, you care, you will be tricked, because they feel that they can influence you and influence you. If you don't care, they will be angry and even jump to scold their mother. This is how all the defeated dogs came to be. ”

"That's a bit of an interesting point. The senior sister stroked her hair.

"If I hadn't had the ability to comfort myself, I wouldn't be alive now. He Yuandao.
