She continued: "At that time, my brother was born, and my parents didn't care much about me, they almost leaned all their love on my brother, and they were not afraid of your jokes when they said it, and I didn't have much of what I lived in my family now, and at that time I practiced in the studio every day until the latest, and I went to the earliest, I put in twice the effort of others, but I still couldn't meet the teacher's requirements, so it was because of me at that time, because I was not good enough, and you were too perfect for us at that time." ”

I shook my head, and she continued: "You are so popular, and you are the champion of the school sports president, every time you participate in the school sports meeting, there are so many people cheering for you in every corner of the entire runway, whether it is your class or not, whether it is male or female, plus you are the president of literature, how dare I dare to be with you at that time, I want to work hard, I want to work hard to leave that home, work hard to leave the city, and work hard to be recognized by others, so that I can stand by your side bravely." I was a little annoyed, and I asked her, "Then why did you say it so desperately in the first place?" She looked at the wine on the wine cabinet and smiled, "I don't say that, what you did to me really shook me. ”

I was a little overwhelmed, I panicked, I started to get lost. When it was time for Rollo to get off work, she packed up her things and went to the bar to say hello to the landlord and left, and as she left the bar, she glanced in the direction of me and Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu asked me, "Is that your girlfriend?" I shook my head, and I asked her, "Can we still be the same as before?" She smiled, "It's the same as before." I quickly said, "Just ......" She shook her head, lowered her head and said to me, "I ......" I looked at her expectantly, but her next sentence knocked me to the bottom: "I'm getting married." I was stunned, and squeezed a smile out of my stiff face: "Congratulations." ”

I should be sad, I should be sad, but in my heart, there seems to be something, gone. I don't know what it is, but I'm satisfied, or rather, relieved. I also finally learned that what was holding me back was an answer, an answer I had been waiting for for ten years, no matter what the outcome was, just an answer.

I sighed, "It's good, he's nice to you." She nodded, "I'll tell you about him another day." I smiled, "Listen up." ”

The landlord is a nervous person. The landlord's name destined him to be a landlord. His grandfather was a good man who had carried a gun and beaten devils, and his parents were laid-off workers in a cotton mill who made a small fortune after going to the sea to do business.

His parents and eldest brother also took him with them when they emigrated, and he said something that he is still proud of: "This is the land that the grandfather of the brothers guarded with his life, he is gone, the brothers are still there, if you want to leave, you should leave quickly, and the brothers will continue to guard for the old man." So his parents left him a lot of savings and a few houses, so they immigrated with the landlord's eldest brother, and the landlord also complied with his boasting and gave his grandfather to continue to guard the land.

I am not familiar with the landlord's past, and I know the landlord because of Tian Hui. Tian Hui and I are childhood sweethearts, we made an appointment to go to Beijing to chase our dreams, so after Tian Hui graduated, we came to Beijing together. I have a friend in Beijing, so when I came, I went directly to live at my friend's house, but Tian Hui didn't, so I went with her to find a place to live, and I went through all kinds of alleys and apartments, but I couldn't find a suitable place.

Led by my friend, we came to a small alley, and he said that he would invite us to drink authentic bean juice and eat authentic dun dumplings. It was also there that we met the landlord for the first time, the landlord in a Tang costume and cloth shoes was lying leisurely on a lazy chair, holding a puff fan, and there was an old-fashioned Walkman on the table next to him, and the tape in it was "hula-hula", which was a rarity in this era.

We were eating on the side, and a young girl upstairs from the landlord dragged her luggage down, and said to the landlord angrily: "Bye-bye, this place is so partial to you and you still charge so expensive, and a bunch of broken things and rules, now the old lady has found a new place, the old lady is no longer waiting, I see who you rent this broken land to." The landlord still shook the fan with his eyes closed, didn't open his eyes, and just said slowly: "Okay, don't stumble." The girl slammed the suitcase on the ground, and said angrily: "What kind of moving company is this, it hasn't come for a long time." The landlord ignored him, and drank a bottle of Arctic Ocean next to the Walkman, and the soda made a "tsk" sound as it passed through the straw and reached his mouth.

Naturally, we also heard what they were saying, I glanced at Tian Hui, Tian Hui nodded, and said, "You can take a look." "We've accelerated the elimination of food. After eating, the three of us stood in front of the landlord, and Tian Hui asked, "Hello, do you have a vacant room for rent here?" The landlord still didn't open his eyes, and asked lightly: "Girl, outsiders." Tian Hui smiled and replied, "Yes." The landlord slowly got up from the lazy chair, stretched again, picked up a handbag on the table, took out a bunch of keys from the handbag, turned around and walked slowly into the house, and said as he went: "Come on, come in and see." ”

The three of us followed him into the house, after entering the house, he pointed around and said: "This floor is shared, I have a total of four floors, the second floor is where I live, the third floor has four single rooms, all with built-in bathrooms, there are two suites on the fourth floor, one bedroom and one living room, the bathroom and kitchen are also independent, how many floors do you want to live on?" Tian Hui opened her mouth and asked, "How many floors are there vacant rooms?" The landlord did not look back and walked towards the stairs:" Seeing the old lady just now, she is the only resident, she moved away, where do you like to live. Tian Hui asked again: "Is there a room with slightly better lighting and a slightly lower price?" The landlord stopped, turned his head to look at Tian Hui, and thought for a while: "How many people do you live in?" Tian Hui replied to him: "I'm alone." The landlord nodded, turned and walked towards the fourth floor.

When we reached the fourth floor, a corridor appeared in front of us, and there was a door on each side of the corridor, which was slightly different from the door of a single room, just like the door of a heaven and earth building. He walked to the door on the left, took out the key to open the door, and beckoned to us: "Come in." We followed in, this room was divided into two parts, into the door we saw the living room, the door is facing a huge floor-to-ceiling window, behind the window is a large balcony, the floor-to-ceiling window divides the living room and the balcony into two parts, the landlord said: "This was originally where I lived, and then this person was lazy, did not want to climb so high, so he moved to the second floor, these furniture are used by me, if you want to use it, you can use it, and you should throw it away if you get in the way." Tian Hui opened his mouth and asked, "This room should be quite expensive, how much is the monthly rent?" My friend replied with a mouthful of words: "If you want a house like this in Beijing, it will be at least 3,000 a month, but this lot is not very good, and it is estimated that it is only about 2,500." The landlord nodded: "Since you said two thousand five, then two thousand five." Just after the landlord promised two thousand five, I heard him mutter: "It turns out that the rent is so expensive, I thought it would be worth one thousand and a half rent." Tian Hui looked back at me, and I asked, "What do you think?" Tian Hui nodded: "It turns out that the apartment type is almost the same as more than 3,000, and the lighting at this price is not very good, although the location here is not good, but it is also quiet, and it is quite close to the place where I work, I think it is almost the same." I nodded, "It's good if you're happy." ”

Tian Hui turned around and discussed with the landlord about moving in, I walked around the room with my friends, in fact, I love this balcony, I am very strange, since I was a child, I have inexplicable feelings for the balcony and the rooftop, I always feel that the attic, the balcony, the rooftop is the three most secure places in the world, if you don't count the arms of your lover, then I have to have one of these three places.

The landlord is a lazy person, but he is really a person who is angry, once Tian Hui worked overtime until more than nine o'clock, and was bumped into by two little hooligans who lived in the alley, Tian Hui, who had just graduated from college at that time, was also a stunned young man, the little hooligan teased her, she did not run or call for help, and reflexively fought with them, two little hooligans, for Tian Hui who learned taekwondo fitness, it was not a difficult thing, but Tian Hui did not know, this kind of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard little hooligans has always liked to bully more and less, the next day Tian Hui still worked overtime until more than nine o'clock, the two little hooligans called other little hooligans in the alley, and blocked Tian Hui in the alley, happened to meet the landlord holding a bottle of Arctic Ocean shaking a big pu fan went out to throw garbage, the little hooligans saw the landlord and said hello, and shouted in unison: "Fang Ye, you came out so late to wander around?" The landlord nodded, and when he turned around and was about to leave, Tian Hui shouted to the landlord who was surrounded by the little hooligans, and a little hooligan standing next to Tian Hui slapped Tian Hui: "Stinky girl, give Lao Tzu a quiet place." The landlord turned around and saw Tian Hui trapped in the crowd, and shouted: "Well, what's the matter with a group of big men bullying a little girl, come on, come on, you want to play with your buddies!" The two little hooligans who were beaten walked up to the landlord and said with some grievances: "Master Fang, you don't know, yesterday this girl beat our brothers enough, if you don't get this face back, our brothers will not be good in this alley in the future, you say no." The landlord snorted the Arctic Ocean and made a "tsk" sound, and he shook his head and asked, "That person, that little girl, can beat you for no reason?" You see you two like this, I don't dare to understand you, let alone a little girl who has just come to Beijing. A little rascal felt a smile and said: "Fang Ye, look at what you said, when you came out to mix, our brothers were still playing with mud, if you want to say that you slapped me, I was still worried that your hands hurt, but our grandfathers are also mixed on this street, you see that today's scene is so big, if we don't ask for an explanation, how can we mix it in the future, do you say it is not this reason." The landlord quipped, "Oh? yes, why don't you two get involved and beat me up and get angry with me to save face?"
