Strange Friendship (2)

My purpose is incredible, why I have such a purpose, based on my change of attitude towards Cao Li. It could happen that she gave me sugar; Seeing that the man was very ruffian smoking, and she was in a low mood and lowered her head; Or the moment when she said something to my father and son when she and that person were friends.

It's a strange kind of pity, and it's empathetic. Like I have long pitied myself and Chen Jia, there are some commonalities that I can feel, we are all in the hustle and bustle of the compound, and we are both very lonely in our hearts.

I always think that only those who feel the same way can become true friends, which is why my friendship with Liu Weijian for so long is not as good as the friendship between me and Chen Jia for a few days.

In fact, there is always a sign of loneliness in my heart, but I don't mention it much. One day, when I saw the landlord Cai Yansheng squeezing into Cao Li's house, I couldn't believe my eyes, could he and Cao Li have a similar inner world, can they become friends?

I have forgotten when I saw Cai Yansheng on the specific day, but I still remember what Cai Yansheng was like. It was noon, and at that time, most people were taking a nap except for those who went to work. The silence in the compound does not mean that there are few people, there are many people here all the time, but everyone is dormant in the rental room at that time, snoring and falling asleep in the musty smell emanating from the ground and the corners of the walls.

I don't snore, but I also fall asleep. I woke up to the sound of a flock of birds playing. One moment they stop in the trees, the next they chase in the air, the next they land on the windowsill. Their frolicking sounds are actually not very noisy, which is the reason for my light sleep, and the first thought I had when I woke up was that I didn't know when my sleep was so shallow.

I didn't want to go to the toilet, I didn't feel the urge to poop and the urge to urinate was shallow. It's just that I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep anymore, because I felt extremely tired, and I didn't have the energy to watch TV or do homework. I slumped out of bed and used the toilet as a way to refresh myself. I know it's ridiculous, but I'll tell you that I've done it more than once or twice.

As you already know, I have to pass by the door of Cao Li's house to go to the toilet, so I might as well introduce it more carefully, the public toilet on the third floor is adjacent to it on the other side of the corridor. When I was about to step into the toilet door, strictly speaking, there was still a foot left, because according to the layout, one foot away from the toilet was the closest and I could see the whole corridor.

The man went upstairs with his head down, and I looked at him diagonally upwards and recognized at a glance who he was. I'm all too familiar with the person who came to visit, and I've seen him show you around the house countless times. He was too arrogant in front of the newcomers, who were both trembling and curious about the wet rain. That kind of posture has gone beyond the scope of taking people to see the house, and is more like leading the inspection work at the grassroots level.

This is the person I saw at the time, the landlord Cai Yansheng was carrying an apple in his left hand and a banana in his right hand, coming up the corridor. As soon as he looked up, he saw me, and I was a child in a daze in his eyes, and I was uncomfortable with this child in a daze, and he raised his arm carrying a banana and shook it at me and said, "Look at it, play with it."

His words brought me back from my stupor, and he drove me into the bathroom. I said that I have a strange consciousness, and all the unusual things are associated with Cao Li. I was peeing, and in the sound of urine washing the public toilet, I immediately thought that the landlord was looking for Cao Li.

But I immediately denied myself, how could he be looking for Cao Li, what was his intention to find Cao Li? Is it worth Cai Yansheng to bring both apples and bananas to a guest who will only cause trouble and attract annoying women?

I came out of the toilet and saw Cai Yansheng standing on the balcony. He stood towards a door, which was the door of Cao Li's house. This incident has taught me that there are many things in the world that are unpredictable. This means that many of the things you thought were impossible are actually happening.

Cai Yansheng stood in front of the door for a while, it is estimated that he hopes that someone will come to open the door by himself, he will give the person who opened the door a big surprise, just the moment I came out of the toilet, he realized that his idea is unlikely to come true, and only knocking on the door can solve the problem.

The door was rotten, and so was the knocking. The knocking sound from the courtyard in the south of the rainy Jiangnan is not a rhythmic dot, but like a wave of wheat in the distance, although there are peaks and valleys, but there are sticks between the two, and this sticky matter is extremely resilient due to the humid air in the south of the Yangtze River.

The door opened, and the person who opened the door was naturally Cao Li, and asked Cai Yansheng, who was carrying bananas and apples, what he was doing. He pressed his knee against the door and leaned sideways into the crack in the door: "Go in and talk, go in and talk." ”

I happened to pass by, and she saw me when she closed the door and smiled politely at me, and I could see that she was smiling awkwardly. can only say that this is indeed a mystery, and the possibility of Cai Yansheng and Cao Li becoming friends is something I can't even imagine.

I hoped that when my parents came home in the evening, they would tell what they had heard during the day, but they didn't. It can only be said that they did not hear any wind and grass. Cai Yansheng went out at noon, originally to avoid suspicion, it seems that this recruitment effect is good.

I would say that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and even the most secret things will be revealed. It's just that I thought Cai Yansheng's whereabouts would be discovered when he set out at noon. Unexpectedly, one afternoon, Cai Yansheng thought he was hiding in Cao Li's house safely, and the rotten door was suddenly kicked open, and Cai Yansheng was exposed in people's eyes.

Maybe you all thought of it, you guessed it right, it was Uncle Zheng again, he kicked out an angry kick, but the harvest was extremely surprised and regretful.

The incident originated in the afternoon of that day, Uncle Zheng finally waited for Zhao Qiuhong, and when he saw Zhao Qiuhong for the first time, Uncle Zheng didn't recognize it. At that time, she was carrying a large bag and carrying a small bag. Uncle Zheng is still thinking, where is this woman, with the spirit of a son and a cow, it is admirable. Zhao Qiuhong raised her head at this moment. Looking at it from a certain angle, Zhao Qiuhong's face was squeezed between the two bags, and being squeezed flat was an illusion, an illusion under the gaze.

Uncle Zheng didn't care whether the face was long or flat, square or round, what he cared about was who that face belonged to. It was Zhao Qiuhong's face, and he called her name from the bottom of his heart, and the feeling was that his name rushed out of his throat. There was a strong recoil in his body, and then the whole person was launched, and at the same time, he shouted: "Zhao Qiuhong, Zhao Qiuhong, you are finally back!" ”

Zhao Qiuhong came back from her parents' house and brought a lot of souvenirs, which were the things she contained in her big bags and small bags. Uncle Zheng immediately took her to Cao Li's house to see if she had made friends. This time he had a good chance of winning. He spent all his energy waiting for Zhao Qiuhong to appear, and ignored the actions of the landlord Cai Yansheng every day.

I heard that Zhao Qiuhong's first reaction when she heard Uncle Zheng's shouting was full of panic, and I also heard that Zhao Qiuhong scolded Uncle Zheng for being neurotic and asked her: "Have you ever seen a big bag come back from afar, don't put it at your own house, go to someone else's house first?" ”

Uncle Zheng listened to what she said and accepted it, he helped Zhao Qiuhong carry things and pull her hand, for fear that she would fly away, and that she would walk slowly. The other tenants saw it and asked them, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Qiuhong said helplessly: "How do I know? He's neurotic. ”

Everyone has times when they regret what they did wrong, it was Uncle Zheng at the beginning, and now it is Zhao Qiuhong. Zhao Qiuhong's regret even revealed in the language: "This matter has passed, just when I didn't say anything?" ”

Uncle Zheng said: "That can't be done, then I won't be able to explain clearly." ”

Zhao Qiuhong put her things at home. Not put, to be precise, but throw. Uncle Zheng stopped at the door and didn't let Zhao Qiuhong enter the house.

He asked Zhao Qiuhong: "Open the door." ”

And she opened the door. He threw the two bags on his body into it and said to Zhao Qiuhong, "You throw it too." ”

Zhao Qiuhong shook her head. Uncle Zheng snatched the bags and threw them in one by one.

According to Zhao Qiuhong's later recollection, Uncle Zheng was extremely emotional that day, and all excessive behaviors were caused by excitement, so he picked up Zhao Qiuhong and walked to Cao Li's house. As he went upstairs, his emotions were mixed between resentment and pride, and he repeated: "You just don't believe me, well, now you can prove whether the woman has made friends or not, and now you can prove that I am not talking nonsense." ”

When he arrived at the door of Cao Li's house, Uncle Zheng didn't knock on the door, and he couldn't wait for Cao Li to open the door. He kicked the door open with the urgency of saving people and putting out fires, rather than trying to prove something. He thought that Cao Li must be alone at home, he had already planned to ask Cao Li a few questions, waited for her to be speechless, and then told Zhao Qiuhong proudly: "See, she hasn't made any friends." ”

However, the moment he kicked the door open, he couldn't believe what he had seen, and he even thought that he was hallucinating with his old eyes. That was the scene he didn't expect to happen, how could he have thought that Cao Li was not only not at home alone, but also sitting opposite him, it was the landlord Cai Yansheng.

It seems that he is not going to ask for rent, he doesn't look like he wants to rent, but he whispers and begs Cao Li to be her friend. After Uncle Zheng saw it, he couldn't get up in one breath, spit out two short "you" words, and fainted and fell to the ground.
