Chapter 5: Chance Encounters

Thursday, February 14, is Valentine's Day in the West.

Although in this year few people know this. But this day must be full of an indescribable sourness for Hong Yanwu.

When I got up early in the morning to wash my face, I accidentally saw the calendar card on the wall.

Although he didn't want to, he couldn't help but think of "Sugar Heart". I couldn't help but open the notebook where the two of them took a group photo.

The happy smiles of the two in the photo have become yesterday's memories, and his heart twitches even more. Concern is irrepressible.

So after looking and stroking for a long time, he suddenly closed the ......

The oil cakes, eggs, and millet porridge that my sister brought to me were placed on the table. He didn't want to eat. But if you waste it, you will inevitably live up to the heart of your relatives. So I barely poured down the porridge in two bites, and ate half of the oil cake as if it were stuffed.

After that, he didn't know what to do. Wandering around Chen Liquan's house, and then walking into the yard to see, everywhere felt cold.

After that, all he could do was smoke cigarettes.

Yes, he couldn't read the book in his hand at all, but he threw a cigarette butt on the ground, and the air in the room was blue by him, but there was still nothing in his heart, and it was uncomfortable empty.

He thought about it for a while, and there was no other way, so he could only put on his coat and go for a walk on the street outside to breathe.

The air outside is really nice, fresh and cold.

The view is also good. The snow stopped, but the snow had not yet melted, the branches were frozen, and the road was still white. Pedestrians walk carefully and with difficulty, and there are often cyclists who slip and fall, but every face is quite happy, and a beaming expression emerges.

In fact, it is no wonder that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year's Spring Festival has fully resumed the Spring Festival holiday system. Since then, people across the country, regardless of region or unit, have had two long holidays every year. The Spring Festival and National Day are held for three days each.

To say that the common people at this time were so simple, although they had been tired for a long time and lived a single holiday, they were only slightly better than in the past, and they were so happy. If only they could enjoy the 2012 statutory holidays. I'm afraid they'll be so happy that they can laugh all year long......

In addition, the scene on the street also made Hong Yanwu feel more and more fortunate - thanks to the fact that no one has celebrated Valentine's Day in this era, otherwise if the street was full of pairs, his heart would definitely be even more painful.

Hong Yanwu didn't want to go to the downtown area, there were movie theaters in the downtown area, and there were his people. So I only walked into the "Taoranting Park", watched the snowy scene, and walked around the frozen lake.

But it's also strange, that's how I want to hide and be clean, for fear of being stimulated. But it backfired.

One reason is that there are only old people in the park at this time, most of them are old men, without exception, the uncles and uncles all look at him with serious expressions. This kind of gaze that bordered on criticism made him very uncomfortable, and they all treated him as an unemployed young man who had wasted his time.

Another reason is that the small hall inside Taoranting Park was turned into a movie theater at this time to sell tickets to the public. And the screening is still his most taboo film at this moment, the just-released "The Forgotten Corner of Love".

What's even more annoying is that just as he walked to the door of the auditorium on the west bank of the lake and wanted to pass quickly, the movie theme song "Corner" also came out of the movie theater.

"Who knows the corner of this place? Love has forgotten it for a long time, it used to wander at the edge of the village, wandering, why has it been so faint since then......"

The more I am afraid, the more I am afraid. He was tricked by the guy "Fate" again!

And just when Hong Yanwu was angry and couldn't help but sigh, something unexpected happened to him.

Almost at the same time, a melancholy voice came from under the big willow tree by the lake, lamenting as if it echoed him.

At this moment, they couldn't help but glance at each other. As a result, both of them were stunned.

Because looking at Hong Yanwu, it was Song Guofu who was full of sorrow and turned to surprise.

Yes, there are coincidences in real life. And it's like a form of expression of literary and artistic works. Isn't that what they had happened to be the case?

In fact, it's not just that, what is particularly incredible is that they are actually a pair of difficult brothers, and they are also disappointed in love.

Song Guofu has not shown up recently, just because Fang Ting dumped him. Fang Ting made a better choice, and without hesitation, she went to the arms of others and climbed the high branches.

This incident made Director Song's family angry enough, and Song Guofu stayed at home to be complained by his mother and ridiculed by his sister. Even Director Song looked at him and sighed angrily.

Of course, Song Guofu couldn't stand this, it was enough to be annoying, but now it was even more annoying. But when I talk to a friend, I feel ashamed.

He wanted to tell Hong Yanwu about it several times, but he went back to the door. If it weren't for today's situation, he didn't know how long he would still be holding it in his heart.

Song Guofu described it very simply. Because the heaviest topic among men is when it comes to their own women.

Hong Yanwu also expected that there would be such a day, and a woman like Fang Ting would definitely not stay by Song Guofu's side for a long time. Objectively speaking, this is not a good thing for Song Guofu. But he could not help but be relieved and sincerely sympathetic.

Because in addition to being buddies to each other, his state of mind at this time also enabled him to deeply appreciate the bitterness in Song Guofu's heart. Even the depression of having nowhere to talk to can empathize.

So he also took the initiative to tell what happened to him. At this moment, the mood of the two men seemed to be more cheerful.

Maybe it's because they all feel that they are doing a miserable life, but now they all feel that their friends are worse off than themselves. This completely corresponds to the sentence, "The same is the end of the world", and sympathize with each other.

The two of them don't have the heart to go down in the park anymore, and it looks weird to say that the two old men enjoy the plum blossoms and snow together in the cold winter and the moon. Naturally, they wanted to go somewhere else.

"Nan Lai Shun", "Shin Kong Restaurant", "Cherry Orchard Restaurant", one by one nearby restaurants were mentioned by them, and in the end they all denied it.

Because restaurants open and close for hours. At that time, it was common to practice two-headed classes, not that the food was not open. It's still early, they can't go to the gate of someone to be a telephone pole, right?

Besides, neither of them has an appetite at all. I just want to have a drink and have a chat. But you really have to go to a restaurant. The business environment is chaotic, and I can't talk at all.

And a lot of people still have to stand and wait for a seat, and let you sit there and drink endlessly? Even if the people in the restaurant don't care about you, the people who eat have to "bother" with you, sorry.

So the grocery store on Zixin Road became their final choice. The two of them walked side by side.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
