Chapter 11: I Miss Home
There will always be a few ripples in Gujing's life, and after a small episode, he will return to the right track of life. Such a beautiful coastal city, but I don't know anything about it, I can't help but feel a little sad.
Bars are usually the most crowded place in the city, so I took a taxi to the nearest bar street to see what was going on. Walking alone in the bar street, it seems a little deserted because it is daytime, but there are still some snack bars and bubble tea shops with their doors open, and several owners are sitting at the door chatting, which makes me seem a little abrupt on this street.
With a cool breeze blowing on my cheeks, I felt the cold breath on my face, and suddenly I wanted to go to the beach to blow the sea breeze. Shaking his head again, it's still important to get down to business.
Wandered around the bar street twice and didn't get any useful information. I can't help but feel a little disheartened. looked at the eager eyes of the little girl in the bubble tea shop, and walked over to her.
"Have a cup of milk tea, matcha flavored. "
"Are you sure you want matcha?" the little girl looked at me with a surprised look.
"yes, what's wrong?" I wondered, "what's wrong with the taste?"
"I see, buy it for my girlfriend. She had a look of abrupt realization.
I nodded awkwardly...... I muttered endlessly, men can't drink matcha-flavored food......
"Girl, what time does the bar around here usually open?" I asked, propping my hands on the counter.
"I'm sorry, I don't really know about this, I only started here yesterday to work part-time, but the bars here are usually open late, you can go and see for yourself later." The little girl tilted her head and replied.
"That's right......" I looked abrupt, "how much is milk tea?"
"8 pieces. The little girl's answer was succinct and clear.
"WeChat scanned. As I spoke, I shook my phone at her.
"Well, welcome next time. "
……
Holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, he began to shuttle through this somewhat quiet street again, the taste of milk tea is not bad, the milk fragrance is accompanied by a hint of matcha flavor, I like it.
But inadvertently, I saw a couple not far away sharing a cup of milk tea, and I felt that the milk tea in my hand was suddenly difficult to swallow, so I threw it into the garbage bin on the side of the road angrily, and then looked at the sky in a daze.
A mobile phone ringtone disrupted my thoughts, and I looked at it, it was Xue Miao's, and I felt that something was going to happen again.
"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked nonchalantly.
"Where are you?" Xue Miao's voice came faintly, it was a little noisy over there, and I didn't know what she was doing.
"How's your cold?" I quickly changed the subject.
"It's totally good, don't believe it, you'll see for yourself later. There was some surprise in her tone.
"Don't make a fuss, rest well, lest you relapse, I don't want to be a sinner. I will invite you to my new home for dinner when I find the house. "Worried that she would rush at her again, I hurriedly promised her a condition that seemed good.
"Then I'll have to help you even more, find it early and invite me to dinner early." Xue Miao was even more excited.
"Don't, eldest sister, listen to me once, please, help, I'll find it myself." "I sent to kneel down to her...
She seemed to hear my reluctance, and finally compromised, "Okay, call me if you have a problem, my company has been quite idle for the past two days." "
"Don't worry, I won't be outside if you really need help. "
……
I exhaled heavily, but decided to find a place to stay first, so I made an appointment with the agent to meet in the afternoon.
The lunch was very casual, which made me even more determined to find a nest first.
……
When I arrived at the agreed place, I met the intermediary brother, a very capable person, wearing a small suit, and showing me a very professional smile.
"My name is Liyan, what do you call it?" I handed him a cigarette.
"Brother Li, just call me Xiao Liu, I don't smoke. He waved his hand firmly at me, and seeing him like this, I put the unlit cigarette back into the cigarette case.
"Brother Li, do we have any requirements for this room, such as the price or decoration style. "
Xiao Liu is very enthusiastic and direct, I really like this kind of person, after all, I am just a tenant, there is no need to talk so much, when I meet that kind of meeting, I start to talk about homely chatter, I will feel unusually awkward.
"The price, normal I can accept, after all, I am the kind of long-term rental, the environment should be quieter, the decoration style does not matter, just a little simpler. I thought about my situation and replied slowly.
"Okay, Brother Li, let's go directly to see the existing house or go to our store to see the pictures before thinking about which one to see. Because some room keys are still in the hands of the landlord, if you want to go to see the house, you have to make an appointment with the landlord in advance. "
"Look at the existing house directly, I feel like I can't do this thing today, let's see what I can see now, and if you can't see it, you send me a picture on WeChat at night, and I'll choose it." "I rubbed my swollen head, as if I was back in the painful days when I first came to Shanghai to rent a house, and sure enough, it was the same everywhere.
"Okay, Brother Li, there's a good house around here, let's go and see it first." With that, Xiao Liu had already taken the lead, and I followed closely.
Entering a community called Xinyun Yaju, the gate is wide and the security at the gate looks great. I look at the internal environment of the community from time to time, the greening is very chic, there are a few benches in the center of the garden, a few old men in the distance get together to play chess, and there are a few figures running on the basketball court, nodding in my heart, if you can live here, it is also a good choice.
"Hey, Brother Li, this way~~" Xiao Liu's shout came.
I realized that I had taken a fork in the road, and with an apologetic expression, I ran to him.
"Brother Li, the environment here is still satisfied. Xiao Liu's expression was full of pride.
He nodded in agreement, and then began to be in a daze again. Looking at this harmonious and peaceful scene, a sad emotion suddenly came to my heart, once upon a time, I also lived in such a family community, in the evening, my father and the neighbors drank tea and chatted, my mother and a few women were there to talk about the house, and I was always bouncing around on the court.
My eyes were getting a little wet, were they tears? No, it was the sand that blew into my eyes.
"Brother Li, are you okay?" asked Xiao Liu with some concern.
"It's okay, the wind is a little strong today, and the sand is getting in the eyes. As I spoke, I made a gesture to wipe my eyes and forcibly stopped the tears that I was going to stay.
I always thought I could be a very rational person, but now it seems that my life has always been dominated by emotion. I've always wanted to go back to the home I've been dreaming about, but after that incident three years ago, I feel like I can't go back for the rest of my life.
Beat the spirit, and motioned Xiao Liu to take me to see the house first, but there was a thought fermenting in my heart.
I miss home......
