The heavy rain stopped suddenly, and Huo Bai, who was sitting outside the tent, listened to a few faint cicadas and looked up.

The rain had stopped, and the bouquet of roses on the billboard had only a few petals, hanging pitifully on the slender branches.

A few people sitting in the tent sheltering from the rain looked out through the transparent curtain at the door.

"The rain has stopped, go quickly, slow down, I'm afraid it will start to rain again halfway." Seeing that the rain had stopped, the middle-aged woman quickly stood up from the stool with her satchel.

The woman with the child also stood up with a child in one hand, she looked down at the two children and smiled gently, "Well, baby Beibei~ We're back to our new home." ”

The two children who were holding the woman's hand tightly also looked at the woman with a bright smile on their little faces, "Go home~"

The two young men who came in with them to hide from the rain left early after watching the rain stop.

"Aren't you leaving?" the woman glanced back at the thin girl who was sitting still with her head down.

The girl lowered her head, her whole body stiffened and did not dare to move, she said with a white face that was a little difficult to speak: "I...... I'm here......"

The middle-aged woman who hadn't gone out yet and the woman with the child were stunned, "This...... Do you have it with you?" the woman turned to ask the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman's face was a little red, "I'm this age, how can I bring it......"

"Ahem, that, my house is right in front. You...... Do you want to go to my house to change?" the woman frowned a little embarrassed, she was a little afraid that this girl would not accept her kindness.

The girl sat on the stool, feeling a burst of cramping in her lower abdomen, and she nodded slightly with tears in her eyes, "Hmm." ”

The middle-aged woman saw that the girl had not yet stood up, and after thinking about it, she smiled and took off her dark thin coat. "Come, multi-kit coat to warm up. ”

The girl hesitated for a moment but reached out and took the coat with the body temperature, "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. The middle-aged woman smiled and waved her hand.

The girl tied her coat around her waist and slowly got up from her seat.

The woman with the child patted the two children on the head, then let go of her hand and pulled out the tissue on the table and put it on the stool where the girl was sitting.

After wiping the marks off the stool, the three of them walked out of the tent and into the community.

"Your family lives here, too?" asked the middle-aged woman among the five people who had not been separated all the way, standing in front of the door of the unit, in surprise.

The woman took the hands of the two children and said with a smile, "Well, I just moved here this afternoon." ”

"My family lives on the third floor of the second unit of this building. ”

The woman was also a little surprised, "I also live on the third floor of the second unit. "It's a wonderful fate that she met someone who stumbled upon her was her new neighbor.

"Oh, the neighbor next door!" the middle-aged woman smiled very happily, and after a while, she said with some pity: "It's a pity, my son plans to take the whole family abroad, and I will rent out this house." ”

"I won't be your neighbor in the future, your two children are so cute. ”

The woman clapped her hands to turn on the voice-activated lights in the hallway, and then walked up the somewhat narrow staircase with a child in one hand, "That's a good thing." ”

"It's a good thing, but I'm worried...... This house has been hanging in the agency for so long, and there is no proper person to see it. ”

The woman smiled while paying attention to the stairs under her feet, "Someone must be watching, so I'm not going to rent it." ”

"Yes. ”

The girl, who had been following them silently, suddenly asked in a low voice, "How much is the rent?"

The middle-aged woman turned around, "Little girl, are you going to rent it?"

The girl tugged at the sleeve of her thin coat tied in a knot around her waist, "Well, the income is not enough to rent the original place." ”

"If you want to rent, then I'll give you a cheaper. I just can't bear this house and want to find a proper one to rent out. I'm afraid that in case of renting, the tenant doesn't know how to cherish it, after all, after living for so many years, there are feelings. The middle-aged woman paused, "It's not certain whether she will come back in the future......" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but sigh when she said this, "I don't speak a foreign language, what can I do when I go abroad......"

The woman who walked to the door put down the two children in her arms and took out the keys to open the door, "Your son also wants to take you over to enjoy the blessings." ”

"Ha, yes, my son is very good. As she spoke, she turned her face to the girl and said, "If you really want to rent, come to my house to see the house later, so that the agent can take you on another trip next time." ”

The girl had a white face and smiled, "Okay." ”

The three women standing in the hallway suddenly heard another thunderclap outside.

The two children were so frightened that they hugged their mother's legs and didn't let go, and the woman hurriedly covered the ears of the two children distressedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

The middle-aged woman looked at the sudden heavy rain from the window of the corridor on the side, and said happily: "Fortunately, we walked fast." ”

Not long after the people who had taken shelter from the rain left, it began to rain again.

Huo Bai's mobile phone in the pocket of his apron kept vibrating.

"Lao Zhou?" Scratch the unlock button, Huo Bai connected the phone, and Lao Zhou's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay. ”

"Okay. ”

In just a few words, Huo Bai hung up the phone, the rain was too urgent, and they were blocked on the construction site. Fortunately, the foreman was a good man, not only prepared dinner for them, but also left them to stay in the dormitory on the construction site for a while.

There is a dormitory on the construction site, and Lao Zhou and his co-workers still choose to rent a house by themselves. More than a dozen people are crammed into a small and cramped space, just for a few hundred subsidies.

Today, he didn't have to prepare dinner for Lao Zhou and them.

Huo Bai turned off his mobile phone, sat in front of the stove, and quietly looked at the rain curtain in front of him.

"What is love, what is meaning, it's not that everyone deceives themselves~ What is stupidity, what is fandom, it's just a man and a woman doing a show~"

A very penetrating mobile phone ringtone rang from the tent, and at this time there was only one flower sister sitting inside.

Sister Hua squinted at the caller ID on the phone screen, smiled and pressed it.

However, she only pressed it for a while, and the phone rang again.

She took a pig ear with chopsticks, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it and took another sip of wine, raised her hand and continued to hang up.

The phone kept ringing, and Sister Hua kept hanging up. It's just that the interval between hanging up is getting longer and longer, and she listens to the ringtone of her mobile phone, drinks and eats, but she doesn't answer.

After hanging up again, her phone was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, her phone rang again.

"Hey......" Sister Hua poked at the few pig ears left on the plate, and finally picked up the phone.

"Roger. ”

"Flowers...... Probably, it's broken. Sister Hua looked up at the illuminated advertising sign through the transparent curtain at the door.

I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, Sister Hua chuckled, "Don't chase after you if you can't get used to it, I beg you?"

"Why do you want to refuse? ”

"That's a lot of nonsense, you're a woman. ”

"Smack!" Sister Hua hung up the phone and slapped her phone on the table.

Looking at the mobile phone with the bells and whistles phone case, Sister Hua laughed, "Little boss." She raised her voice and shouted.

Huo Bai withdrew his gaze from the rain curtain, walked to the door, lifted the curtain, probed and asked, "What's the matter?"

Sister Hua tapped the pig ears on the plate with chopsticks, "A bowl of rice, and ...... Fairy soup. After she said the last three words, the smile on her face couldn't help but expand.

"Wait a minute. ”

Fairy soup, which sounds very foolish, is actually soy sauce soup.

Huo Bai took out a soup bowl and used a spoon to take a small spoonful from the jar where he put lard and put it into the bowl, then add some salt and some soy sauce and flush it into boiling water, which is a bowl of fairy soup.

Putting down the soup and rice, Huo Bai turned to leave.

Sister Hua slowly stirred in the soup bowl with a spoon, watching the lard cubes float on the soup noodles and slowly melt little by little.

The soy sauce soup she ate when she was a child was even more humble than this, a little soy sauce and a pinch of salt poured on water was a bowl of deliciousness.

At that time, her family was very poor, how poor was it? Even a bowl of such a simple soy sauce soup she might not be able to drink it all the time.

Now, she's rich, she's finally rich. Eat what you want, drink what you want. She eats everything from the mountains and the sea.

However, now she has never experienced the happiness she had when she drank soup as a child. Why? She didn't know, or rather, ...... Don't want to be clear.

The brown-red soup was floating with a layer of oil, and she blew it gently and drank it.

After only taking a sip, Sister Hua didn't move again.

She put down the meal again, and suddenly felt bored.

Pulling a cigarette out of her bag, she took one in her mouth and lit it for herself.

The slender fingers held the white lady's cigarette, and the ashes of the burned cigarette butt fell on the white plastic dining table.

Sister Hua stared fixedly at the burning cigarette, she didn't continue to smoke, just watched like that, until the cigarette butt was too short for her to hold.

Throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table, she looked at her fingers that had been yellowed from smoking for many years and began to be in a daze.

"Buzz~Buzz~" The mobile phone that was slapped on the table by Sister Hua before suddenly vibrate.

She came back to her senses, picked up her mobile phone and clicked on it twice, "Snort~" After reading the text message on the phone, Sister Hua picked up the bowl and put the rice into the somewhat cold soy sauce soup, mixed it slightly and ate it.

"Checkout. Sister Hua walked out of the tent with enchanting steps, and at a glance she saw the bouquet of roses hanging alone on the advertising light board, and she could no longer see the complete form.

Huo Bai took the banknote and gave it to Sister Hua for change, she lowered her head and glanced at the change in her hand, "Give too much, the little boss will lose money when he opens a store." ”

"No, flowers don't count. ”

"Roses worth only a bowl of soup money...... Little boss, really good at business. Looking at Sister Yuhua, who still didn't stop outside, she smiled.

Huo Bai didn't hear her, he was cleaning up the table in the tent.

When Huo Bai came out of the dining table after cleaning up, he saw that there were more coins on his stove, and Sister Hua was gone.

Missing from her was the bouquet of roses that could no longer be seen as roses.

Suddenly the rain outside stopped again.
