This night, Chen Yi and I broke up again, but after she left, my world seemed to have a rainstorm with hail, and I was drenched from head to toe, but I couldn't get a sobriety, I don't know what I did wrong, I only know that there seems to be something I haven't had time to say to her

I left Tulip Road with an unrelieved regret, then went to Xiao Ai's place to drive her car, and returned to the nursing home at half past nine in the evening to pick her up.

On the way, Xiao Ai sat in the passenger seat of the car, different from my depression, her mood seemed to be very high, and as soon as she got in the car, she asked me: "Jiangqiao, are you happy to eat with Chen Yi?"

"What makes me happy?"

"You're a person who doesn't like to be like things, but I can still tell you're not happy."

I slowed down a bit, then turned to look at her, she was putting her foot on the air vent of the car air conditioner and chewing a gummy in her mouth, apparently all of this relaxed behavior was due to her good mood at the moment. And this more or less infected me, so that I gradually had something to talk to, so I said to her: "Let's not talk about happy or unhappy things first, I'll talk to you about some serious ideas, you can see if it's feasible." ”

"Tell me about it."

"I'm not unemployed, but I'll have to live the rest of my life, so I'm going to open a small wonton shop on Tulip Road."

"Okay, the little wontons are the best, add some vinegar and pepper"

I was a little uncomfortable that she and Chen Yi had completely different reactions to the same thing, but she said that she loved to eat small wontons, and I really believe that because Nanjing people have a high degree of recognition of this food, they will see wonton shops on the streets and alleys, and even some restaurants that make main dishes will take small wontons as one of their business items to meet the needs of customers.

I asked tentatively, "Don't you think this thing is unreliable at all?"

Xiao Ai replied incredulously: "Why do you think this thing is unreliable, if this is also unreliable, everyone doesn't do it, then where are we Nanjing people going to eat small wontons?"

"No, I mean, isn't it very unenterprising to open a small wonton shop, after all, I'm only 25 years old, and it's the age when I should struggle."

Xiao Ai put his foot down from the car air conditioner, and then asked me with a puzzled face: "Jiang Qiao, have you been hit by something, you seem to be very self-doubting?"

I remembered Chen Yi's hatred of iron and steel, and suddenly there was a sour feeling in my heart, but I didn't want to tell Xiao Ai about this, so I replied: "I haven't been hit, I should listen to other people's opinions more before doing business, after all, this is also to spend money to invest, and it is best to avoid risks and make money after driving." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you, I don't think it's unenterprising, because small wontons can also be made into big businesses, and there is no shortage of such business cases in China, such as Tao Huabi, people are not so famous for making Lao Gan Ma hot sauce."

"You still know the old godmother"

"I didn't know that the girls in our dorm loved to eat. So if you can do this level of small wontons, it is also a success, and I think starting a business from a young age is much more pragmatic than those who talk about business plans and concepts, and I always feel that those people are a bit vain."

Her words seemed to sweep away the haze in my heart, and my brain began to become active, and I immediately had some ideas about running a good wonton shop

Tulip Road is next to the software park, so there are a lot of white-collar workers working around here, if my small wonton taste is good enough, I can completely break away from the store sales, open the market here in the form of takeaway, and then use the wonton as a signboard, and then develop other food categories to form a real brand fast food restaurant. And only from the perspective of market prospects, this is really not worse than some so-called high-tech industries, after all, the people take food as the sky, even if they return to the primitive society, they can only do it as a business, and only food.

In my silent thoughts, Xiao Ai asked me again: "But there is one thing I don't understand, why don't you do what you are best at wedding business, after all, you still have a lot of resources in this industry."

"I'm tired, this industry has made me see too much human affection and right and wrong. Do you know that I have really seen a lot of prospective couples who have terminated their marriage agreement due to a dispute of interest during wedding preparations, and there are of course some very beautiful wedding cases that fight on the wedding day, but it is these alternating beauty and ugliness that make people feel tired, so I thought a long time ago that if I was forced to leave this industry one day, I would never have anything to do with this industry again in this life. ”

"Really, I think you're more disappointed in your boss's daughter, that's why you're so tired, but you still love this industry in your bones."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because one day you will get married yourself, so the statement that you will never have anything to do with this industry in this life is not true, I think this is more like a sentence of your anger."

"You're going to get married someday." I repeated this sentence in my mind, and then I had a slight doubt in my beautiful imagination. What kind of woman would marry me as a wife instead of disliking everything I have?

Could it be Chen Yi

Probably it won't be her, because we're drifting apart. Now I am just looking for motivation for life in the small wonton shop that is about to open, but she is already facing Qiu Zi'an's marriage proposal. As long as she wants, she will soon be able to marry Qiu Zi'an, a man with a successful career, and then stretch the distance between us to more than 108,000 miles.

If it weren't for Chen Yi, who would it be, and who else could I fall in love with?

Sending Xiao Ai back to her residence, it was already 10 o'clock at night, I parked the car for her, and then the two of them stood together in the small courtyard, I said to her before leaving: "I'm not busy these days, if you have any housework that is inconvenient to do, call me, I'll help you do it." ”

"Well, I'm not going to be polite to you."

"Then I'll go back first, and you can rest early."

"Wait, aren't you curious what I talked to your grandma about?"

"I'm not curious, because she will definitely tell you how hard my life has been since I was a child, and how difficult it has been over the years."

Xiao Ai looked surprised and replied, "That's what she told me. ”

I smiled, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xiao Ai said again: "Actually, she especially hopes that there will be a woman who feels sorry for you by your side."

"Perhaps, but even if she said the same thing a thousand times and ten thousand times, it wouldn't change anything."

"But you have to understand her feelings. She feels very sorry for you all these years, and owes you a lot" Speaking of this, Xiao Ai's voice lowered, and after a period of silence, she said to me again: "An old man should enjoy his old age, but he has to live with such a burden, she must be very unhappy, so you should do something for her"

"There are so many things I want to do for her, but in the end, I can't do it"

"You only need to do one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Ai looked at me with a serious face, and then replied, "She hopes that you can find a girlfriend for yourself." ”

I was silent for a long time, and then I smiled bitterly and replied, "I don't know where to look, although there are many good women in this world." ”

"First you have to look for it with your heart, and then you have to be brave enough to chase it, you can't treat love as something that can be enjoyed by sitting back, so that not only will you be miserable, but the other person who may also like you will be more painful"

"Huh"

"Why are you smiling so disdainfully?"

"I don't like to listen to these empty theories, sometimes you need to see something more tangible than love."

"What is something more realistic"

"Life, all good things, are lower than life, and two people who are very close in all aspects will have fewer contradictions and more happiness when they are together, otherwise there will be all kinds of misunderstandings that are not understood, and then endless contradictions"

After I finished saying this, I remembered the recent conflicts with Chen Yi, if she didn't have such a high status and vision, just a very ordinary city girl, then I said that I wanted to open a wonton shop, she wouldn't be so unacceptable, because most civilian businesses start like this.

If I have a wealth of contacts and funds, profound knowledge and broad horizons, and go directly to the high-end industry to play the concept and play the capital game, I am afraid there will be no quarrel before us. So the biggest contradiction and pain between us is not that she loves me or not, but that we should belong to two worlds, but we were born in the same alley on the same road.

When I reflected on myself and Chen Yi, Xiao Ai was also silent for a long time before saying to me: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Actually, you know, you just haven't experienced it."

Xiao Ai looked at me disdainfully and replied, "I don't like to see you pretending to be an experienced person in front of me."

"Okay, then let's not talk about this topic from now on, I prefer to talk to you about opening a wonton shop"

Xiao Ai interrupted me and said with a smile: "Do you want me to go to your store as a waiter or cashier, and then take the opportunity to be with me every day." ”

"Crazy, if I dare to have such a non-centrific thought about your Miss Qianjin, let me thunder and thunder, but if you have time to help me fight occasionally, I really don't mind"

"What's the good of thinking about beauty?"

"Don't you like to eat small wontons, don't you care if you're full?"

Xiao Ai made a very exaggerated expression and replied: "It's the first time I've heard of picking up girls with wontons."

"Who said I was going to soak you girl, I'm going to it"

"You don't have the heart of a thief or the courage of a thief"

Of course, I knew that she was joking with me, and I was more accustomed to her surprising words, so I simply didn't respond, and she finally put away her joke, handed me the car keys, and motioned for me to drive her car back, and then rest early.

My nerves finally relaxed at this moment, because this emotional turmoil of the day was finally coming to an end in the darkness of the night

What I write, some people will always be incomprehensible and scolded. Of course, there will be many readers who will find a different perspective to look at, so the first few books will have great reviews and analysis. Of course, I can't decide what kind of mentality the reader will take to read it, but I want to say that if I just look at the plot simply and rudely, then my book may not be very good, because there is no fierce fighting, no left and right hugs, and no rich country. I think reading it with empathy is the right way to open this book
