Chapter Eighty-Three: Ferry
Yinglong sat on the bus back to Ben Cheng, leaning against the window, leaning his head on the backrest, staring out the window with his eyes intently.
The buildings on the side of the road flashed into view, leaving only a glimpse of pedestrians and passing vehicles on the side of the street.
Yinglong recalled the scene when he and Xiao Yingrui frolicked when he just left, and the look that Yu Xin looked at them.
Yinglong felt a kind of uncomfortable at the moment, he knew that Xiao Yingrui needed a father who was by his side to play with him every day at this time, but now, he, Yinglong, Xiao Yingrui's father, always had to leave this house before dark, with a non-existent "difference", and even walked a long way before he could come back.
Yinglong's heart was in turmoil, so bad that it was like a mess, entangled and chaotic, and he didn't know where the head was and where the tail was.
What kind of method should he use to unravel this mess of thoughts?
As the saying goes: "Cut the mess with a quick knife", but even if it is cut off, it is still a mess. It's just divided into several paragraphs, and it's even more unclear where the head is and where the tail is. This is really "drawing a knife to cut off the water and the water is more flowing, and borrowing wine to pour out the sorrow is even more sorrowful." ”
Many things in the world are always sad, and Yinglong is no exception.
Although he and his son were under the same sky, there was an invisible river between them, separating them from each other. Only by waiting for the right time and the right place like a ferry, can you come to the child and relieve the longing for the separation of the flesh and bones.
When will he be able to put himself on the other side of the river, and never leave it, so that he can enjoy the joy of family?
Yinglong knew that Yu Xin would not let go of Xiao Yingrui, and she would not give up her precious son. Yu Xin has been with her children for so long, she would rather stay alone in the empty house, but also work hard to raise the child, just because she doesn't want Xiao Ruirui to suffer a little more grievances.
If Ying Long can convince Yu Xin to hand over the child to him with just one mouth, it is simply impossible to do the right thing!
Yuxin is an independent woman now, she can survive these days, do you still care about continuing to survive?
Although she was unstable at the beginning, which led to friction with Yinglong, a long time has passed, and she still maintains an independent posture, which means that she is a woman who can endure hardships.
Yinglong couldn't help but admire a little, although he married Yuxin at the beginning, he once thought she was a relatively weak woman, but it turned out that it was just Yinglong's misunderstanding.
Although he has now parted ways with her, after all, there is such a cute child as Xiao Yingrui. Yinglong felt that if Xiao Yingrui had a pair of wings, he would be like a little angel.
But as a result of the breakup, he was also worried, and he had always had some concerns about Yu Xin, and even wanted to escape the misfortune of the breakdown of his marriage.
In fact, he had a premonition in the dark, the sensitivity of Yinglong's intuition, he had always thought it was very accurate, but the result of the development of things made him very conflicted.
He was optimistic about marrying Yu Xin, but now he doesn't know how to change the outcome.
The hardships of life had overwhelmed them, and he couldn't change the experience, but he couldn't imagine that things would get worse and worse, until finally they couldn't bear it.
Is there something like someone said: "Everything is fate, God is playing tricks on the world." ”
In this way, the hand of God mercilessly toddles and toddles the mortals of the world.
But Yinglong didn't believe that fate could not be changed.
He let out a long sigh as he thought of this. Slowly retracting his gaze, he buried his whole body in the chair and closed his eyes. He wanted to rest for a moment and calm his chaotic thoughts.
The bus sped down the road, and the scenery on the side of the road sped up to the speed of the backwards. Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, changes are accelerating, and many new residential areas have been built along the roadside.
In the late 90s, when Yinglong first went to Lake City, the road was still lined with farmland and hills, which is now history. The desolation of the past is rare, and now it is full of urban atmosphere.
Many years ago, Yinglong and Shiwei lost contact after graduation because they did not have convenient communication tools. But now, even though Yinglong and Yuxin live separately, they can chat on the phone at any time and discuss the child's affairs together. Although the two are no longer husband and wife, it has no effect.
Fortunately, the times are changing rapidly, if it is still the same as before, how should Yinglong respond.
If it weren't for that, he might not know anything about Xiao Yingrui and Yu Xin's condition for a long time. If this is the case, Yinglong will not be able to stay in Bencheng with peace of mind.
Time and space have separated people more and more, but change has invisibly shortened the distance between people. Even if you are in two places, as long as you want to hear each other's voices, you can call and chat in a few moments.
Yinglong sometimes calls Yuxin's phone to say hello, and then asks her to hand over her phone to Xiao Yingrui for a few words. Although Xiao Yingrui can't see his father, he can hear his voice and call "Dad" through the phone.
But Xiao Ruirui couldn't see his father's appearance with his own eyes, so he was inevitably a little restrained. As they chatted, they would say "bye-bye" to him, then throw down their phones and run to the side to play.
For this reason, Yinglong sighed, a child is a child after all, what he needs is a relative who can always be by his side, a father who grows up with him, not a voice that can only talk to him over the phone.
Yinglong felt that he was about to miss out on his son's precious childhood. What about the later adolescence and youth? He was anxious to realize that this was not only his own regret, but also the lack of affection for Xiao Yingrui.
When he and Yu Xin divorced, Yinglong just felt that he was free from the shackles of the siege, and he no longer had to be troubled by Yu Xin's problems, and he didn't even have to be in a daze with the lonely empty wall every day.
The "cold war" between them made Yinglong depressed, and he understood that the price he paid in this emotional conflict was too great, and the twists and turns of his love life made him emaciated.
When this marriage finally ended, he once thought that he was free, his mood would become cheerful, and he even saw the sunshine again and breathed fresh air freely, but he didn't expect that his concern for Xiao Yingrui made him worry.
Could it be that he has become indecisive, or is it the child who has put him in a dilemma, Yinglong felt uneasy after thinking about it.
Yinglong found that Yu Xin's attitude towards him had now become soft, and he wondered if Yu Xin regretted her original move, and was she planning to reconsider her relationship with him?
If Yu Xin plans to rebuild the old relationship, how should he deal with it, should he renew his relationship with her, and how should he measure the relationship after that?
Yinglong weighed these thoughts over and over again. If he reunites, he can return to his family openly, and then he can accompany Xiao Yingrui and Yuxin every day. But whether he can still accept Yuxin as before is the most important question.
But what kind of thoughts does Yu Xinji have to look at him, is he just doing it for the sake of the child?
Yinglong pondered it repeatedly, conceiving various possibilities. Since Yu Xin has not made it clear, Yinglong intends not to make a decision for the time being. It's better to put it on for a while and wait for him to think clearly before drawing conclusions. What's more, what kind of thoughts Yu Xin has, he still doesn't know.
The porridge becomes stronger and stronger, and the older the wine, the more fragrant it becomes. Yinglong felt that now was not the time to talk about reunion, so he simply didn't make a decision first, so as not to end up in a boring end.
By the end of the day, it was already dark. Yinglong got out of the car and took a taxi to the clouds.
After entering the door, Wen Xue saw that the boss was back, and greeted him with a light smile: "Brother Long, you are back!"
When Yinglong saw that it was Wenxue, he asked her with a smile, "How is the business when I am not here today?"
Wen Xue said with a smile: "The day is normal, and there will be no business until the evening!"
Yinglong thought about it, usually there are not many guests during the day, and it will be full of guests at night. So he thanked Wenxue: "I've worked hard for you today, I'll treat you another day!"
Wen Xue hurriedly responded: "Then thank you, Brother Long, Xiaoqiang and I are waiting for you to invite you to dinner!"
Yinglong laughed, walked to the bar and checked the running water during the day.
Yinglong is more at ease with Wenxue, he finds that this girl is more honest, so Yinglong can rest assured that she will take care of the business.
When Wen Xue first came, there was a time when Yinglong was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, forgot to lock the drawer containing the money, and even threw his wallet inside, Wen Xue was standing next to him and was busy with the things in his hand.
When he came back, he found Wen Xue honestly guarding the bar, and when he saw Yinglong coming, he whispered to him: "Brother Long, you forgot to lock the drawer just now, I am afraid of losing things, so I dare not leave half a step." ”
At this time, there were still some customers in the store drinking tea and chatting there, and some were beckoning Wen Xue to come over to add tea, and Wen Xue hurriedly walked over.
Yinglong was a little surprised, he thanked Wenxue, and secretly clicked the banknote, but there was not a penny missing.
After that, when Yinglong asked Wenxue to take care of the money, there were almost no mistakes in the accounts, and now Yinglong can fully trust her.
After all, Yinglong felt that he couldn't help himself, so when he found out that Wen Xue could rely on him, he simply handed over the business to her when he went to Lake City.
Although she only managed the store in general and collected money or something, she still did it very neatly.
Every time Yinglong came back, he didn't find a problem. Xiaoqiang learned from Xiaoqiang's mouth that when Yinglong was away, Wenxue was all in order, so he was even more relieved.
Wenxue is not only a young and beautiful girl in the eyes of everyone, but also full of vitality and is also very enthusiastic about Yinglong and Xiaoqiang.
Although she is not very old, she didn't notice that she likes to play small.
Maybe she knows that the work is not easy to come by, so she always completes the things that Yinglong has told her seriously.
At first, Yinglong would observe the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally, but later found that they were very reliable.
Wen Xueren's character is good, but Xiaoqiang is a little slippery, but it can be regarded as a duty.
So Yinglong put his mind at ease, at least the guy he was looking for was more realistic. He began to think about what to do with his business in the future, after all, he had to pay his salary on time every month, so that the two of them could help him with peace of mind.
Yinglong has thought of a lot of ways in business, after all, it is necessary to have something that can be used to attract customers. In this way, there will be repeat customers, otherwise how will the business be done? Maybe only after retaining the old customers, will there be new customers to come here to spend.
Huangtian paid off, and Yinglong's business stabilized after a few months, and new customers continued to come here for leisure. Many customers come here because of the warm atmosphere of the shop, and there are also many people who come here because of the hospitality of the guys in the shop and the affordable drinks.
Slowly, Yun Zhiyao's popularity slowly flourished within these few blocks.
In the past, Yinglong only knew how to pursue career success, but the process was slow due to many factors. When he left the company in discouragement, he was still uncertain about the future at first, but now that he has his own business, he sees hope.
Perhaps this is the only career he has in the future, and instead of sticking to his position as an engineer, it is better to carve out a world of his own.
Now he can make his own decisions about everything and do it exactly according to his ideas, which is not a happy thing for him!
