Chapter 28: The Secret of the Two

Tang Wan pulled a stool, sat me down, and pushed Jajangmyeon and sake in front of me.

The jajanjangmyeon is already stirred.

When I was in high school, Tang Wan and I walked down the road outside the school to the city center, went to the supermarket, and if we were hungry, we would buy a bowl of Choi Lin Kee's fried noodles, carrying sake and bubble tea.

As soon as I ate, I walked, and when I got to school, the time was just right.

I held chopsticks, staring at the fried noodles in the bowl, and my thoughts went back to my high school meeting, on the lakeside bridge, the lake breeze gusted, Tang Wan stood on my side, leaning over, blocking the lake breeze, just to retain some calories of fried noodles.

The person in front of us is still the same person, but we will never go back to that time.

"Give. After eating the fried noodles, Tang Wan handed me a tissue.

"Thank you. I said, "I'll take the coat, so you don't have to run back and forth when you get it." ”

"It's not done yet, how can you take it?" Tang Wan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Just wrap it in a plastic bag, I'll take it back and dry it. I said.

There was a knock on the door.

Tang Wan was tidying up the table, and I was by the door, walked a few steps, and opened the door.

There was a man standing outside the door, in his thirties, very mature, holding breakfast in his hand, and when he saw me, the man was stunned, and his body shrank back, as if he wanted to see the house number.

"Are you looking for Tang Wan?" I said.

"yes, I didn't go wrong, did I?" the man nodded, smiling.

"That's right, Tang Wan is taking out the garbage. I nodded, out of the way.

"Xiaowan, I brought you some early, it's still hot, eat it. When the man entered the house, he put the breakfast on the table very familiarly, went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks, and put the millet porridge in the disposable lunch box in a ceramic bowl.

This kind of action made me feel like a thorn in my heart, and it suddenly hurt badly.

Something is being desecrated.

Tang Wan likes to drink millet porridge, and she has to use ceramic bowls, Tang Wan and I have eaten many times in the alleys outside the school, a bowl of one dollar, drinking warm and full.

Moreover, when Tang Wan came to menstruate, she especially liked to drink millet porridge, and she had developed a habit.

"Liu Chuang, why are you here?" Tang Wan glanced at the man, "I've already had breakfast." ”

"Millet porridge, I know that you are not feeling well, I went to buy it on purpose, and I brought it to you, drink some, this is health porridge." Liu Chuang said with a smile, then looked back at me, "There is still some porridge, do you want to have some?"

"No, I've eaten it. I shook my head, and then said to Tang Wan, "You drink porridge, you didn't eat much just now, I'll go get the clothes myself." ”

The fragrance of millet wrapped around my nose, Liu Chuang held a spoon, exuding the heat of millet, such a warm scene, I just wanted to escape quickly.

When I got to the balcony, I took the down jacket, and I took it and walked out.

"You wait, I only washed it last night, and it hasn't dried yet, so I'll get you a plastic bag." Tang Wan greeted me.

"No need, I'll just take it, there's something else at home, I'll go first." I didn't wait for Tang Wan, I went out directly.

Tang Wan was going to pick up the plastic bag, but after listening to my words, she stood still and didn't move.

Out of the community, I looked left and right, got on a bus, hugged a wet down jacket, and sat by the window.

My eyes were a little confused, and many things were unexpected by me.

Wu Dong bought a car, Tang Wan bought a house, not only that, Tang Wan also talked about friends, even if she didn't talk, her relationship with Liu Chuang was not simple.

I originally thought that the secret between me and Tang Wan was unique to us, but at this moment, this bond seemed to be broken.

The faint connection with Tang Wan was shattered from my heart at this moment, turning into smoke and dissipating.

When I got home, an old lady stood at my door.

I was startled by the dim aisle lights and the sudden appearance of an old lady.

It took me a while to suppress the strange thoughts in my heart.

"Auntie, please let me go, you are blocking my door. I said politely.

"Auntie are you calling?" the old lady didn't seem to have a good temper.

"Then call your grandma?" I wondered why anyone liked to call their age.

The old lady in front of me seems to be a bit non-mainstream.

"It's useless for you to call grandma!" the old lady seemed to jump up, "Your rent has been delayed for two months, is it that if I don't look for you, you plan to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and it will be delayed for another two months, just until the end of the year?"

"Are you the landlord?" I seemed to understand why the old lady was stopping at my door.

"Don't pretend to be garlic, I'm not a landlord, is it really your grandmother? You have to pay the rent today anyway, otherwise you won't be able to enter this door." "The old lady is menacing.

I frowned, looked at the old lady a few times, and was quite worried in my heart, if I really want to fight, looking at the old lady's posture, I don't seem to be her opponent.

"You're not right, my rent has already been paid, how can I be in arrears for two months?" I said.

Tong Wangjun mentioned it to me and said that she paid the rent.

Tong Wangjun shouldn't be able to deceive people about this.

"The rent is paid, but the items in the house are broken, you have to accompany you, right?" said the old lady.

"It's all good, how can it be bad? Impossible. "I'm sure.

"One of the cabinets was broken, the walls were broken, two tiles in the bathroom were missing, the ceiling was scratched, the mirrors were broken, the window hinges were broken, and the clothes pole on the balcony was broken. The old lady took out a notebook, handed it to me, and kept babbling, "These things were all new before you moved in, and now they are all broken, I have to change them again, it will cost money, right?"

The old lady's memory amazed me.

Being a landlord is not easy.

"That's not going to have to pay back so much, is it?" I said.

The rent for one month is eight hundred, and two months is one thousand six, and I think the old lady must be cheating on me.

"I'm not going to ask for more of your money. The old lady started again, "My cabinet board is a paint-free board for rabbit babies, more than 200 yuan a board, plus 100 yuan in labor costs, I want you to 300 yuan, which is not much." ”

"That cabinet board is only the size of a palm, and a whole paint-free board can make ten of those cabinets, why do you want me to have more than two hundred?" I corrected immediately.

This old lady is not honest and wants to trick me.

"You go to the store and ask for a tenth of the board, will they give it to you?" said the old lady.

I was stunned, what the old lady said made a lot of sense.

"Then there is a ceiling, all to be configured separately, there are prints on it, the styles are different, there are not necessarily in the store, you have to get it from the manufacturer, I didn't ask you for more postage, as long as five yuan. The old lady continued.

"Can I wait until I check out and make it up to you?" I compromised.

"Tomorrow is the time to check out, I greeted you more than a month ago, reminding you that if you want to continue renting, you quickly gave the rent in the back, until now, you haven't given it, if I don't keep an eye on it, when you run away, who will I go to?" said the old lady.

Rent is due tomorrow!

Another bolt from the blue.

I panicked all of a sudden: "Auntie, if you can be more tolerant, I will definitely make up the rent to you." ”

"It's not negotiable. The old lady didn't give me any affection, "I have rented out this house, and others will move in the day after tomorrow, you can make up 1,600 yuan to me before tomorrow night, otherwise I will detain all your things." ”

The old lady gave me an ultimatum and left.

I kept saying nice things after me, but the old lady didn't turn her head until I got on the elevator.

Lying on the bed, I lit a cigarette, I didn't sit up, let the ashes fall on the sheets, anyway, I would have to be swept out of the house tomorrow, and I didn't bother to care if it would burn the sheets.

The feeling of boredom condensed in my heart along with the smoke.

Then go to the woman next door to borrow money?

I don't have this face, the money I borrowed last time hasn't been repaid, and it's not easy for her to make some money, it's all hard-earned money.

The phone rang, it was Tang Wan.

I looked at it and dropped my phone on the bed.

The phone kept ringing, and I was upset by the noise, so I pulled the quilt to cover it and took a few puffs of cigarettes.

After a while, the phone rang again, and there was a message.

I relit a cigarette, sat up, looked at the quilt, thought for a while, lifted the quilt, took out my phone, and clicked on the message.

Tang Wan sent: I have a job here, and I happen to be missing someone, can you help me?
