Chapter 1: Reunion
Chapter 1: Reunion
Sang Guiyu and Wang Momo finished shopping, shopped all morning, and walked into a restaurant to prepare for lunch.
With a sigh of relief, I was finally able to rest, pound my sore calves, and quietly watch the end of the order. Sensing that someone was approaching, she raised her head, the lights in the restaurant were a little dazzling, and the people who came were carrying the light, but she still recognized it at a glance, it was Pei Muhang, and Gao Wuxiu who was standing next to Wang Momo.
It's been three years.
Pei Muhang looked at Sang Guiyu in front of him, and suddenly thought of a sentence, the best encounter is a reunion after a long absence.
He couldn't remember if he had ever looked forward to such a meeting in the three years they had been apart, expecting her to suddenly appear in front of him one day. They have only worked together for a few months at most, and she has not heard from her as soon as she leaves, which can only show that they are not real friends, let alone lovers, and time has passed, regardless of whether they like it or not, occasionally they will think about it, and they will wonder where this person is now.
Now, this person is in front of her, after three years of absence, but her memory is new, her hair is still shoulder-length, her figure is well-proportioned, and her clothes are simple. Pei Muhang looked a little stunned, as if the long separation was just a dream of his own, and everyone was still the same as yesterday, only himself, and he was much older overnight. It's funny that he's only 27 years old, and it's when he is in high spirits that he would feel this way.
Probably in the past two years, I was urged by my mother to go on a blind date, I didn't want to listen to her nagging, I often stayed in the company, and I was extremely bored, so I had to focus on work and forget to sleep and eat. The boss was diligent, so that Gao Wuxiu, the assistant, also worked overtime, had no time to date, and offended his girlfriend, so he had the opportunity to see her again.
If I knew that this was the case, I should have worked harder to let Gao Wuxiu work overtime.
What should someone say about reuniting?, "You're handsome again!" or "I miss you a little." Sang Guiyu didn't expect this sentence to appear in his mind, and he was shocked by himself.
I didn't expect to see you again in three years.
The gathering time is short, and the parting is long.
For a while, many emotions surged, but I could only say one sentence softly, I haven't seen you for a long time.
Compared with her restraint, Pei Muhang naturally chose a position close to Sang Guiyu.
"You seem to have lost weight. ”
"Really?" she herself felt that she hadn't changed much in the past few years.
"Your face used to be so big, now it's so small......"
He looked at her face, his thumb and forefinger in a circle, and drew a big circle and a small circle, and when she said that she was small, she couldn't help but laugh, and the eyes of the two people crossed the circle and met, and they were stunned all of a sudden.
Sang Guiyu knew that he was joking, how could his face be so small, and the apple was almost the same. Laughing and laughing, his eyes began to fog.
What would he think about crying at this time, for no reason, inexplicable.
Sang Guiyu began to bow his head and eat violently, hoping that he hadn't noticed anything strange about him.
"Is broccoli so delicious?" Pei Muhang didn't know why, but he was distressed and funny at her forbearance, shouldn't he be happy praising her for her small face?
Looking at the other side of the table, a tall man disregarded others to please the woman next to him, and the future wife and slave could be predicted.
The hero is sad about the beauty pass, it is really useless, Pei Muhang looked at Gao Wuxiu, shook his head with disgust, there is no help.
Gao Wuxiu was not to be outdone, he rolled his eyes, and then continued to feed his girlfriend.
After eating, Wang Momo continued to go shopping, she did not completely forgive Gao Wuxiu, and threatened to spend his money harder. Although she was clamoring to blow up Gao Wuxiu's card, Sang Guiyu knew that she wouldn't do that.
Gao Wuxiu has a good mentality, he is a man, and it is natural for his girlfriend to spend his money. Wang Momo knew that every penny was earned by Gao Wuxiu, and he worked so hard for the future of the two of them. So the last person who spent Gao Wuxiu's money was still her.
In this way, the two ladies were in front with a large glass of drink, and the two men were behind, wandering around.
They approached a big mall, probably on the weekend, and it was very lively. When Sang Guiyu and Wang Momo were trying on clothes, the two big men were in charge of carrying bags and drinks, sitting in the rest area in front of the fitting mirror, sitting bored.
"I'm accompanying my girlfriend, what are you doing?" Gao Wuxiu was a little unhappy, and sprinkled the anger he received from his girlfriend on Pei Muhang.
"I'm with you, don't you feel moved?"
I don't want to talk nonsense with him, and others are not stupid, I can see that Pei Muhang's eyes are always looking for Sang Guiyu, but he is not interested in exploring other people's private affairs now.
After changing his clothes and coming out, Sang Guiyu felt embarrassed when he saw his bag and drinks in Pei Muhang's hands, they hadn't seen each other for many years, they weren't even friends, and they wanted to get them back.
Pei Muhang didn't give it, and said to her with a smile: "You just have to try on the clothes, I'll get it." ”
Sang Guiyu glanced at Gao Wuxiu, obviously the things were handed over to him just now.
"It's none of my business, he's rushing to get it. Gao Wuxiu hurriedly cleared up, and the fact was also true.
"Thank you. "Since it's all like this, Sang Guiyu can't say anything.
"You're beautiful in this. Pei Muhang looked her up and down, this was the first time he had seen her wear a skirt, her temperament was completely different, originally her clothes were plain, mainly considering comfort, this chiffon dress was very fairy to wear, the waist design showed the advantages of her thin waist and plump buttocks, plus the hem was higher, revealing two thighs, and the legs were also the kind of fat and thin that he admired.
Immortal and sexy are perfectly concentrated on Sang Guiyu, which makes Pei Muhang feel that he is finished, he is deeply attracted by this figure, how can he not know that he is a pervert.
Feeling a little hot, Pei Muhang turned around sharply, and saw Gao Wuxiu and Wang Momo kissing in public, no, Wang Momo was struggling to the death, it seemed that Gao Wuxiu couldn't help it, and the overlord made a bow.
Looking at everything wrong, Pei Muhang turned back again, and saw that Sang Guiyu was also looking at the couple, with a look of disgust. Oh my God, let's get out of here.
When the two girls were tired of shopping, it was about four o'clock, and it was still early for dinner, but if it was more troublesome to go back and come out, Gao Wuxiu proposed to buy vegetables and go back to eat hot pot. The main reason is that I want to show favor to my girlfriend.
Such a group of four people came to Gao Wuxiu's house, Gao Wuxiu originally lived in the staff dormitory of Qihang, and later Wang Momo graduated and defected to him, and the two rented a house near the company and lived a sweet life for two.
The two have been in a long-distance relationship for many years, and finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, you and I don't want to spoil the light bulb of Sang Guiyu. I've been happy for two years, and recently I often heard the two quarreling.
"It's been so long, why don't you get married? Which of you is playing hooligan?"
Falling in love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan.
Sang Guiyu has been looking at this couple for ten years, and there is no sign of any points, in this case, the long-distance running of love should also change tracks, such as the support of husband and wife. While the two men were washing vegetables, Sang Guiyu asked the doubts in his heart.
"Me. Just one word, and then there was a long silence.
She could see that Momo, who was laughing with her, had a solemn face, and had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
"He wants to go back to his hometown, to his parents, he is an only child, his parents are old and there is no one to take care of them. My dad said that after talking about being in love for so long, the two parents should meet. Last year, I took my parents to his house, the rural conditions were difficult, and my father kept crying on the way back, a big man, crying on the train, just feeling sorry for the girl he held in the palm of his hand would marry into such a family in the future. ”
"Then you just settle in Hangzhou, compared to Hangzhou, the economy is good, and it is easier to make money than in the countryside, and you can take his parents over in the future." Sang Guiyu knew that there was a time when Gao Wuxiu worked in Hangzhou for a year in order to accompany Wang Momo.
"But housing prices in Hangzhou are too expensive. ”
"Then you borrow money for the down payment first, and your family should be able to help, and then pay it back slowly. Sang Guiyu knew that Wang Momo's family was still good, and they had been roommates who had lived together for four years. When she was in college, she went out by herself, took a train for 30 hours, and Wang Momo's family took her to school by plane.
I thought the same way, but he refused, he said that he could buy a house on his own in a small city, so why did he have to stay in a big city. And I don't want my family to worry about me, my parents are so old, it's hard to make money, and I have to borrow so much money to buy a house, the pressure is too great, and I am not reluctant. ”
"No matter how hard the parents work, they definitely want their daughter to be by their side. I think the problem is that he might feel like he's a bit of a soft eater. ”
"I'm also so worried, if he insists on buying a house in Hangzhou, and he has the idea of sending someone under the fence, our relationship will definitely be over, so even if he repeatedly says that he wants to get married, I don't want to agree, I don't want to hurt my heart on both sides, I can only play hooligan. ”
"He's stupid, I never felt he deserved you. Is it embarrassing for a man to borrow money with such a glass heart? Is borrowing money from his father-in-law just to eat soft rice? And he doesn't want him to kneel down and throw him in the face to give alms, so he doesn't have to pay it back. Even if you really want to kneel, can't you kneel after turning someone else's pearl in your hand? Death is to save face, so that women can suffer alive. ”
Sang Guiyu can only fight for Wang Momo.
"Thank you. It's much better to talk to you, but I can't say these things to my family or to him, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I can only talk to you. The two of them lay quietly on their backs to the sky, head to head.
"Momo, eat. ”
"Okay, let's do it. Suddenly the cheerful voice was restored, and the silence of sorrow was broken.
Sang Guiyu looked at the smile on Wang Momo's face, thought of her distress, and then thought of her secret love that she didn't have a chance to sprout three years ago, why their love was always full of sadness. Tears flowed down my face.
"I know you're occasionally sentimental, why are you so sad all of a sudden. Wang Momo was surprised by the menacing burst of her tears.
"It's nothing, it's just sad to think about unhappy things. ”
"Alright, don't cry, I think you must be too hungry to cry. ”
"Wow, I'm so happy to have my favorite shrimp!" Wang Momo saw the dishes on the table and immediately sat down.
"Are you crying?" Pei Muhang looked preoccupied when he saw the two women come out, but Wang Momo covered it up well with a loud laugh, while Sang Guiyu was still smiling slightly as usual, but it was very stiff and unnatural. The eyes are also wet. I was in a good mood just now, but I cried for a while.
"No, it's just that my eyes are uncomfortable, and I probably didn't sleep yesterday. Sang Guiyu sat next to Wang Momo.
"Guiyu, what do you think of that shirt?" Wang Momo stuffed beef balls in his mouth, and remembered the plain shirt in his heart.
"It's pretty good, I think you like it too, why don't you buy it?" she liked it when she saw her try.
"I liked it, but then I remembered that someone else had a similar style, so I didn't like it. ”
"Wouldn't that be better, couples. I remember what clothes she liked before, if the style was neutral, she would buy the same large size again and send it to Gao Wuxiu. Then one day he wanted to wear it, so he ordered Gao Wuxiu to wear it on the same day.
"It's not that you're still a student, aren't you disgusting? Besides, we've broken up. When Wang Momo said this, he actually wanted to be angry with him.
"If you're not a student, you can't wear a couple's outfit? I saw a couple on the subway today, and I didn't think it was abrupt, beautiful and handsome, and I looked very happy. She automatically ignored the breakup.
"You have to be handsome and dressed to look good, and if you look ugly, you will have spicy eyes. ”
"Also, forget about the ugly ones...... Sang Guiyu thinks that he still likes to look at handsome guys.
"I think Wu Xiu is okay. Pei Muhang felt that they had said a little too much, and looked at Gao Wuxiu very pitiful, so he couldn't help but interject.
"I haven't said you yet, Xiu doesn't dare to say that I'm not afraid of you, what does it mean to always work overtime, when you don't work overtime, you will have a video meeting, WeChat chat, and ...... "Wang Momo doesn't want to see Pei Muhang, mainly because she thinks that Pei Muhang always gives too much work to Gao Wuxiu, so that the two of them have no time to date, and the most important thing is not to give a wage increase, exploit labor, and have a bloody capitalist face.
Gao Wuxiu shrugged, his eyes hinted that Pei Muhang didn't care, and then looked at Wang Momo helplessly, and served more diligently.
"And you're not a good product...... the more he talked, the more angry he became, and Wang Momo scolded Gao Wuxiu together.
"That's right, men aren't good people. Thinking that Gao Wuxiu was so wronged by Wang Momo, Sang Guiyu also scolded together.
The two men wisely shut up, or peeled shrimp or added vegetables, or just ate and drank. The two women were talking vigorously, and if they interjected, they might catch fire.
In the end, it was the two poor men who had been scolded all night cleaning up the mess.
"What time is it, I have to go home. Sang Guiyu ate too much, slumped on the small sofa in the living room, and looked at the snacks on the coffee table motionless.
Why is it that my stomach is about to explode, but I still want to eat potato chips, my mouth is so greedy, but I can't eat it, people always need to spend a lot of perseverance to resist beautiful things.
"It's almost nine o'clock. I'll call you a car. ”
"No, there is still a subway, which is very convenient. "Mom will definitely wait for the door, it's better to go back quickly, otherwise it will be another scolding. Sang Guiyu picked up his handbag and prepared to leave.
"What, are you leaving? Wait for me. Pei Muhang just washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Gao Wuxiu also came out with a bag of garbage.
"I'll send you back, don't go out, give me the garbage. Pei Muhang patted Sang Guiyu with one hand, and took the garbage bag in Gao Wuxiu's hand with the other.
"You'd better go back and rest early, you really don't have to send me. She figured he should be tired today, too.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. ”
Then there was a silence.
Probably too long to see each other, he didn't want to part too quickly. Even if it was just like this, the two of them talked with each other, and he was still in a good mood.
"Turn right onto the main road and keep going. ”
"Good. ”
And then there was another silence.
"You look good in that dress. Pei Muhang thought of the scene of shopping in the afternoon.
"I don't really like it. Sang Guiyu also likes that skirt, but it's too short, I don't drive, I usually need to squeeze the subway or bus, and I don't have the opportunity to wear it.
He didn't believe her, and spent a few hours in the afternoon, the only piece of clothing she took the initiative to try on. Wang Momo's statement is that she is not a woman, and there are still women in the world who don't bother to try on clothes!
"If you don't like it, forget it, next time I'll go to other shopping malls. "He doesn't debunk either.
Sang Guiyu was a little stunned, originally staring ahead, but turned his head to look at him after hearing this. Fortunately, he was concentrating on driving and didn't look at her. Next time? Will there be a next time between them? She didn't know. Except for the intersection of Gao Wuxiu and Wang Momo, all the work and life of the two people are different now, one is in the city and is surrounded by the elite in the workplace, and the other is in the suburbs, burying his head in sorting out the form.
"I know there's a place where the clothes are good, how about taking you to see it next Saturday?" didn't see Sang Guiyu talking, and he took the initiative to suggest.
Another sentence that surprised her, going shopping next Saturday? She heard it right, she and him, the two of them? Or did she misunderstand what he meant, in fact, it was with Wang Momo and Gao Wuxiu. She doesn't understand.
"Forget it, I don't usually go out on weekends. "Whatever the true meaning is, she's not someone who likes to go out.
"Ah, here, it's ahead, let me down at the intersection. ”
"I'll drive directly downstairs to your house, so I don't have to go. Pei Muhang insisted on driving into the community.
"No. 82. Thank you. "That's fine, Sang Guiyu doesn't like to go in and out of the community gate at night, there are a lot of stray dogs, she is afraid of dogs.
"Rest early. Pei Muhang looked at his watch, it took about forty minutes. He drove smoothly and did not encounter traffic jams, and it seems that her house is still quite far away.
"Goodbye, be careful on the road. ”
Today, Pei Muhang decided to get off work on time, he lowered his head and packed up the documents on the table, put them together, and handed them to Pan Milla, the deputy public relations manager who was waiting next to him.
"There is still a lack of a copy of Zirun Group. Lately, the project had been handled by Panmilla, and she soon discovered that the manager had given her one less piece of information.
"Zirun Group?" Pei Muhang didn't seem to have read the documents about Zirun Group today.
"Yes, I handed it over to Assistant Gao yesterday. "Panmilla remembers it well.
"Okay, you can come and pick it up around ten o'clock tomorrow morning. ”
Pei Muhang frowned slightly, it seems that the plan to get off work on time today has come to naught, and Gao Wuxiu's condition has been so frequent that he has started to have a headache, so he has to talk to him well.
After the deputy manager went out, he dialed the internal line.
"Senior assistant, come in and bring two cups of coffee by the way. ”
"Close the door and sit down. Pei Muhang's face was a little serious. Sit on the couch and wait for him.
Gao Wuxiu didn't ask, sat on the sofa and waited for Pei Muhang to speak.
"Zirun's documents are with you, right?"
"Yes. "He knew he would ask.
"Why don't you leave it to me. ”
"I think there are still some problems that need to be observed for a while. Gao Wuxiu didn't believe that Pei Muhang didn't know about Zirun's financial problems.
"I remember saying that no matter what, all the documents should be handed over to me before the deadline. Of course, he knew that Zirun had a problem, and it was not the ancestors who sat in the manager's seat today.
"Do you have any difficulties?" Pei Muhang knew that Gao Wuxiu's brain was not stupid, and he shouldn't have made such an unwise behavior, plus he had been a little absent-minded at work recently, so that he, the boss, had to care about it.
"I don't know what to do?" Gao Wuxiu also wanted to discuss with someone, Pei Muhang might be a good choice.
"Tell me about it. ”
"My parents are old and I want to go back. ”
"Isn't it better to take care of the medical conditions in big cities?" Pei Muhang felt that this was not a problem at all.
"Where do you live? Do you rent a house for the rest of your life?" Now he and Momo still live in a one-bedroom apartment, and if they take their parents over, they will definitely have to change houses.
"Then buy a house, don't tell me, I'll pay you less. ”
"It's too expensive and it's expensive. Momo wants to settle in Hangzhou, she is an only child, her parents are in Hangzhou, but my parents are only my son...... Housing prices in Hangzhou are also ......"
"You both want to go back to your own home?"
Pei Muhang studied abroad in high school and college, but he can understand the wanderer's longing for home. Transportation is well developed and the economy is interactive, making it easy to get from one place to another.
People in their early twenties, how long have they lived, and they already have a constant but inextricable relationship with so many places. Born in one place, immature in one place, studying in one place, working in another place, living in many places, it seems that changing friends too quickly, there is no attachment and no familiarity, and there is no return in my heart when I am helpless.
Coupled with job competition and life pressure, it makes people eager to find a home.
"yes, I want to go home. Gao Wuxiu looked up at the sky outside the glass curtain, as if he saw a distant hometown.
Thinking of his parents leaning against the door and waiting for him during the New Year, he felt that he was very unfilial.
Life is an endless longing, and you can't get back to your original intention. I want to give my parents a rich life but can't always be around, I want to give my girlfriend happiness to make her sad the most, she is still herself, she pursues happiness all the way and is left behind by happiness all the way, he is so tired.
"Let's make a deal. Pei Muhang knew that Gao Wuxiu was too proud and would not accept help from others for no reason, which was a humiliation for him.
"What deal?" Gao Wuxiu didn't feel like he had anything to offer him.
"I believe you are very clear about your ability, no money is only temporary, and you can't always drag someone a girl. Are you in favor of it?"
"She's really nice. "Gao Wuxiu owes the most in this life to Wang Momo. I can live a better life and find a better partner, but I have been following myself as a poor bastard, and I have to endure my temper.
"You know that I lived at home after I returned to China, and I always wanted to get rid of the apartment near the company, but I didn't have time to find a home. Three-bedroom, I think it's just right for you. It also saved me a trouble. ”
"I don't want to. "Gao Wuxiu will not accept gifts for no reason.
"It's not for you, look at this. Pei Muhang handed the document in his hand to Gao Wuxiu.
It is a home valuation report. Gao Wuxiu looked at Pei Muhang suspiciously.
"Now you owe me 4.58 million, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future, what do you think?" Pei Muhang took out another loan contract.
"By the way, I'm a businessman, I can't suffer losses, since you can't repay the money immediately, the interest can't be less, make up a whole number, and I'll charge you 420,000, so it's convenient to calculate the account. I also told the HR manager that I don't need to hire an assistant anymore, although the work is a bit too much, you should work harder. Pei Muhang has a face that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
Seeing that he looked like he was bound to take advantage of him, Gao Wuxiu was a little shocked.
When did he see his troubles, and why he was willing to help him so vigorously, and took great pains to make him not feel that he was inferior in favor to others?
"I don't understand, why are you helping me?"
"I don't know, probably because I think your love should have a good ending. ”
A good ending? Is he watching a TV series?
"At least Wang Momo is worth it, what do you think?" Wang Momo was the last card, Pei Muhang stared at Gao Wuxiu seriously, not knowing if he could convince him.
"She certainly deserves the best. Gao Wuxiu said with great certainty. After being silent for a while, he looked at Pei Muhang.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Pei Muhang found that Gao Wuxiu's eyes became very strange.
"The end is right, the evil capitalist. ”
In the morning, Sang Guiyu accompanied his mother back from buying rice and vegetables, and then collapsed back to the bed to play with his mobile phone. Originally, I was going to sleep lazy, but after the rice was eaten, there was no strong man at home, and my mother's knees were not good, so she had to go out as a female man, hugged ten catties back, and bought a bag of special apples.
Mom loves to eat apples, a kind of willpower.
Sang Guiyu knows why, as she gets older, her health is not as good as before, there are only two of them in the family, and it is not easy for her to graduate from college, and the salary is not high, the two of them add up to less than 10,000 yuan a month, except for daily expenses, there is not much left, and she has to save a pension and a daughter's dowry.
My mother was originally a housewife, and her parents were in her forties when they divorced, and they were almost retirement age when they came out to work, and they had not paid medical insurance. Now it is too expensive to see a doctor, and it costs dozens of dollars to buy a bottle of syrup, and my mother is afraid that she will spend money on seeing a doctor if she is not in good health, especially for health preservation.
Knowing the importance of apples for health, I should eat apples every day for good health. However, Sang Guiyu thinks she doesn't really like it, and I don't know if she doesn't like it. This is a very tricky question, which has been bothering Sang Guiyu for a long time.
"Mom, what do you like to eat?" For a while, Sang Guiyu would always ask like this, she felt that it was really unfilial not to even know what her mother liked. Now ask any girl what her boyfriend likes, and she can tell her. Isn't mom more important than boyfriend?
"It's all delicious. "Again.
People in those days were not good at expressing their likes and dislikes, and they had experienced hardship and long-term hunger, so everything that was called food was delicious. This is a feeling that the post-90s generation rarely has, although there are not many people who can really be called rich, but it is also very difficult to find the kind of people who are hungry and poorly clothed. Because there is no scarcity, so it will not be particularly cherished, without that hard-won joy, the requirements will be higher, not in line with oneself, not like, do not want to be accommodating, and then appreciate.
The straightforwardness and openness of modern people make Sang Guiyu more curious about those hidden feelings.
"Mom, why do you buy duck neck?" Such a marinated cold dish is junk food in my mother's eyes, and it is a waste of money if you don't eat it well. It's okay, it's not spicy, and you can eat it.
"A colleague gave it. ”
"Your colleague is so nice, I'll eat it. ”
