This night, I listened to my grandmother with mixed feelings about the embarrassing past between Yang Jin and Jiang Jiyou. By the time I walked alone on the way back, I was more lonely than ever, and I felt lost in the night, not knowing where to go.

Back to my own residence, I couldn't sleep anyway, just lying on the bed tossing and turning, all I remembered was the picture about Yang Jin, like a bullet shot out, back to the chamber of the gun, the water of the waterfall went upstream, the dandelion seeds gathered into the shape of an umbrella and flew back to the original place, the sun rose from the west and set in the east, and all of them flew back to the time when I was only 8 years old, she signed my name for my test paper, helped me carry my school bag, and smiled softly and asked me to listen to the teacher...... She was like she was right next to me and never left.

Tears gradually welled up, but I don't know if it's because of the mood or because the eyes are too dry! …… In this dark night, listening to the sound of insects chirping outside the window, my heart became even more lonely.

However, there was no one around me to talk to, and even my favorite beer was too busy solving problems for Yuan Zhen and forgot to buy it, and the only cigarette I had at hand only made me feel more lonely.

I don't know when, the phone emitted a faint light, in my WeChat, someone sent me a message, I don't know who will still think about me in the middle of the night, and I won't feel saved because of such thoughts, because this night condensed my grievances for more than ten years and more grievances that have been growing and growing all the time.

The message was sent by Xiao Ai, she told me that I would go to Nanjing tomorrow afternoon, and Yuan Zhen would come back with her, and conveyed Yuan Zhen's gratitude to me in the message.

I pretended to be relaxed, just replied to her with a proud expression of smoking a cigarette in a steel helmet, and then closed my eyes and forced myself not to think about anything, but I thought more than I had just now, and I remembered that my grandmother wanted me to marry Xiao Aiti.

Regardless of whether the path Jiang Jiyou and Yang Jin took back then was a spur or warning to me, this requirement is really a bit difficult for me now!

I think that if I really marry Xiao Ai, I am afraid that there will be no more sad wedding in this world than ours, because Xiao is still in prison under legal sanctions, and my parents are still missing, so the blessings we need most are scattered in prison and at the ends of the earth, and the only comfort is that Xiao Ai's mother is still in our sight and keeps in touch.

The faint light from the signal flickered again in the night, and Xiao Ai's text revealed her feelings: "Do you just send such a broken expression and don't mention the matter of picking me up at the airport?" ”

"Will go."

Xiao Ai sent me a voice request the next moment, I didn't connect immediately, but looked out the window, Xiao Ai hung on the osmanthus tree during the Chinese New Year, those fist-sized red lanterns were still there, but they had faded a lot after the wind and rain.

Yes, I still have a street lamp so that I can see the limited world outside the window, the world that belongs only to me.

I exhaled softly, feeling that I could speak normally, so I connected the voice, and then smiled and said to Xiao Ai on the other end of the phone: "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

"I'm more curious to know why you haven't slept yet."

"I went to the nursing home to see my grandmother today, and I walked all the way back, and I just got home for a while."

Xiao Ai's tone softened a little and asked, "How is grandma doing, is she okay?" ”

"Well, I made dumplings today, I was supposed to take you with me, don't you go to Japan, I'll tell her, wait for next time, you will definitely go anyway."

Xiao Ai seemed to be very keen to see her grandmother, and when she replied, "Yes, I can see her when I go back tomorrow......" she said and smiled, and then said that she had brought her a rice cooker from Japan that was particularly delicious.

But that's not what I care about, I only care about whether she will go to see grandma tomorrow, whether grandma will tell her in person that she wants her to marry me, if she is not a little mentally prepared, won't it be very embarrassing. So, after a moment of silence, I said to her, "May I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh?!"

I was silent for a while before I asked, "Have you ever thought about getting married?" ”

Xiao Ai's tone was very surprised, and she replied: "I just graduated from college, who am I married to?" ”

"My grandmother said that my mother married Jiang Jiyou a year after graduating from college."

I couldn't see Xiao Ai's expression on the other end of the phone, but her momentary silence made me feel that she couldn't understand my seemingly inexplicable words at all, and finally she asked me, "What about after they get married?" ”

"After less than 8 years together, there is no then."

Xiao Ai obviously couldn't take my words, and I seemed to have sent myself into a dead end, not knowing what to say more, so even the air of this night became less comfortable, affecting my breathing, but Xiao Ai and I were willing to be so stiff, but neither of us wanted to end this call first.

My mood became more and more anxious, and my heart suddenly longed for Xiao Ai to sing a song for me, and to break this uncomfortable silence, so I said to her again: "Can you sing me a song?" …… I really want to hear it now. ”

"Jiang Qiao, what's wrong with you, I always feel that you have something hidden in your heart, and I have felt this way since you sent me the first expression."

I don't know if Xiao Ai made such a judgment, based on a woman's sixth sense, or based on her understanding of me after living with me for so long, in short, she didn't make a mistake, I was really miserable by some things on this night, but I didn't want to complain to anyone, because I felt that my parents didn't make me feel very glorious, especially Jiang Jiyou, who has been a good person for more than 20 years, but after more than 7 years of marriage, he has become another person, he is sensitive and suspicious of violence and is not confident, Only then did he lead this family tragedy.

Also, although the man who was hit and killed by his drunk driving has nothing to do with the story, after all, a family is torn apart because of his bastard! Therefore, I feel that he will not be able to wash away his sins in this life! So, I don't want to mention this person again, especially with Xiao Ai.

At this moment, I wanted to force a smile, but I couldn't laugh anymore, so I just replied in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little tired these days, and I don't want to express it much...... You can't give me some perks, and I can't sing one song, or two, it's not too much. ”

Xiao Ai finally gave up his obsession with getting to the bottom of the matter and asked me, "What song do you want to hear?" ”

"Good Han Song!"

"If you're so unserious, I'll hang up."

I suddenly became nervous and hurriedly said, "Don't hang up...... Just sing what you want to sing, as long as it's a song you sing, I won't pick it. ”

"The black eyes and your smiling face will never forget the transformation of your face; The fluttering old time just slipped away, and when I turned my head back to look back, it had been years in a hurry; The vast road to the end of the world is your wandering, and it is my footsteps to seek and always stay together; On the dark lonely pillow is your tenderness, and in the morning when I wake up is my sorrow; Perhaps tomorrow when the sun goes down and the tired birds have returned, you will have already embarked on the old way home; It is rare to find a partner who knows each other again in life, and it is difficult to give up the blue white clouds in life......"

I closed my eyes and listened quietly, it turned out that no matter which music software I searched on, this classic song that had been covered by countless singers showed that it was sung from Xiao Ai's mouth. And she seems to have a soft spot for Luo Dayou's songs, which is the second song after "Lukang Town", but this time she sang the texture of this song given by the times, but there are more girlish thoughts, in short, I like it very much. So, after she finished singing, she subconsciously said: "In the future, you will sing to me alone, don't go to the music world to develop, anyway, you don't like pan-entertainment!" ”

"You think you're the emperor?"

I also think it's funny to be told by Xiao Ai, her mother has cultivated her musically for nearly twenty years, and I have the audacity to ask her to sing only to me, but for a moment I really thought so.

I smiled cheekily......

Xiao Ai was silent for a while, and then changed his words and said, "If there is such a person who makes me feel worthy of doing this, it is not impossible. ”

I was stunned for a while, then smiled again, but Xiao Ai ended the call without a word, but I didn't figure out whether it was cut off because of a bad signal, or whether she subjectively cut it off, in short, we didn't even have time to say goodnight.

I put the phone back on the cupboard, closed my eyes and reminisced about the mood that Xiao Ai brought to me when he sang for me, and finally fell asleep because of fatigue.

……

It seemed that it was just a nap, and the night passed quietly, and the pain of yesterday naturally faded a little on this sunny morning, and I got up as usual to wash up, and then made myself breakfast.

In addition to weekends, the piano shop basically doesn't need to worry too much during the day, because the piano children have to attend classes in school, and they usually come to the piano shop after school, but this doesn't mean that I can be idle, I plan to use the next week to get the contact information of all the teachers near Tulip Road, so that I can have enough chips when I go to other training institutions to do resource exchanges.

As I passed by the abandoned textile mill, I suddenly noticed that Jin Qiu's eye-catching Wrangler was parked on the side of the road, and she herself was looking inside with her hands crossed over her chest, motionless, and she was indeed a woman with terrible executive power. It's only been a day and night since she said she was going to transform this place into a wedding-themed hotel.

I just stood across the road and stared at her back for a while, and I felt her determination to tear this place down and rebuild it, even though I didn't think it was a very easy thing to do, otherwise why hadn't this land been used for commercial development for so many years?

I avoided the traffic and walked across the road, until I stood side by side with Jin Qiu, she suddenly noticed my memory, first startled, then calmed down in an instant, and then nodded and said "morning" to me.

I followed her into the overgrown yard and asked her, "Have you been inside yet?" ”

Jin Qiu shook his head......

I was a little puzzled: "You have always been a very strategic person, but this time you don't even know what the structure of this textile factory is, how did you make the decision to build a hotel here!" ”

Jin Qiu finally looked at me with a straight eye, and then replied: "The business era wants efficiency, and I am standing here now to understand." ”

"Then you should go in......" I said, glancing at the tunic dress that Jin Qiu was wearing, and it would be hellish if she could climb through the iron door like this.

But she didn't want to, Jin Qiu took out a rusty key from her bag the next moment, and then inserted it into the even more rusty iron lock, as she twisted so hard, the big lock that had been locked on the iron door for more than ten years was actually opened, and then Jin Qiu pushed the two doors open......

Suddenly, in the "creaking" sound full of history, iron filings fell to the ground......

I just looked at it in amazement...... As if I was having a colorless dream that had been washed away by time, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see these two iron doors open in this way on such a sunny morning, and my heart seemed to be torn open...... I really saw a hotel that was envisioned in the golden autumn, built here after countless days and sunsets, and the textile mill was completely annihilated on this tulip road as the dust of history......

Jin Qiu looked at me, and then asked me, "Do you want to go in and have a look together?" ”

I looked at her, but my heart was beating faster and faster, I was used to going in by turning over the iron door, and when the iron door was really opened, I really didn't know what kind of mood to face it, because those pictures of Yang Jin and Jiang Jiyou seemed to be swallowed up by these two open iron doors!

After a long time, I asked her in a low voice, "Why do you have the key here?" ”

Jin Qiu only replied lightly: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for me to answer you when it comes to trade secrets, but I have already inquired about who owns the property of this place...... If I'm satisfied, I can then talk to them about the price of the transfer. ”

"You can't afford such a large piece of land!"

"If I can't afford it, I can take out a loan, and if I can't get a loan, I can still find a partner, as long as I want to take this land, there will always be a way."

My heart sank little by little, and Jin Qiu had already walked into the textile factory like an intruder without hindrance before me, but my steps were so heavy that I couldn't move.

If it weren't for the harsh sunlight shining so literally on me, I would have thought it was just a dream...... How could this textile factory, which had been abandoned for more than ten years, be opened so lightly by the golden autumn?

In my consciousness, only Xiao Ai and I climbed over the iron gate, under the sunset at dusk, facing the overgrown weeds in the courtyard can be regarded as above board, and the golden autumn is a barbaric invasion!
