After walking along the scenic path of the neighborhood for a while, I returned to the building where I lived, but this time it was to go to Edamame's house. After entering the elevator, Edamame pressed the button on the 16th floor in a hurry, it turned out that he lived upstairs and not downstairs in my house, but it was no different from what he thought before. When I wanted to see him, it was only a matter of moments, and it was even more convenient than living in the old alleys.

When I entered the house, Edamame and his parents were sitting in the living room watching TV, and they were very surprised to see me. It's no wonder that in my memory, we haven't had much contact with each other since I was busy with my grandmother's funeral.

Before either of us could speak, Edamame said to his dad Maoji, "Dad, can I play with Futatsuhashi for a while and then do my homework?" ”

Mao Zhi glared at him and replied, "Don't talk to me about the conditions, hurry up and do your homework, I'll talk to Jiang Qiao for a while first." ”

"Just play for a while, it's not like I won't finish writing."

Mao Zhi stood up from the sofa with a cold face, and after Maodou observed his words, he didn't dare to talk about the conditions anymore, and it seemed that he had no family status. He came to my side, rubbed me and said, "Second bridge, you and my dad talk a little longer, I still have a few more problems to solve......" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said to me secretly: "Hehe, I hid a calculator, it's cool and fast to use the calculator to do arithmetic problems!" ”

I smiled, and Edamame went to his little study as if he were self-absorbed, and I looked around the room. It seems that Zhao Mu is right, many neighborhoods have become rich overnight through demolition, and the Edamame family is one of them. Back then, his family fought for the most, so he got three suites, and according to the market on Tulip Road, the total value was 780,000, and this is probably something that Mao Zhi and his wife can't earn when they work for a lifetime.

Mao Zhi beckoned me to sit down, and his wife poured me a cup of hot water, and after a few words of greeting with me, he went to clean up the house. Only me and Mao Zhi were left in the living room. He asked me, "Some time ago, I heard from Edamame that you have returned to Nanjing, why don't you come to my house to sit down?" After a pause, he said to me with deep feelings: "It's so hard to see you now, I remember that the last time I saw you, it was when your grandmother died!" ”

"I've been doing things in Shanghai for the past few years, and it's impossible to go back to Nanjing every once in a while, plus the old neighbors have basically moved, so it's very difficult for me to see you."

Mao Zhi smiled and replied: "In the final analysis, it's because the circle is different...... Even if the two of us sit together now, it is impossible to have endless words to talk like we did back then...... However, since I have returned to Nanjing, I will visit more doors and move around, which is like a neighbor. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, my downstairs house is being renovated, and I may move in after a while." ”

"It turns out that the house is yours, it has been empty before, and we are still talking about whose house? …… That's great, if you're too lazy to cook in the future, you can come to my house to eat, and our brothers can have a few drinks like before, and then talk about the military, talk about science and technology, or something. ”

I smiled and replied, "I still like to talk about parents." ”

Mao Zhi was embarrassed, and I didn't mean to squeeze him, I just hoped that he could still be like before, and he didn't have to change anything because I was Yang Jin's son.

After a brief silence, I glanced over the coffee table again, and saw a BMW blue sky and white cloud car key next to the teacup. So he asked him, "Have you been doing well in the past two years?" ”

"It's good, after taking the house last year, the small set for my parents to live, and the big set for us to live. After not living together, there is no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they can be regarded as really living a life of two people...... Seriously, I am very grateful to Zhao Mu in my heart, it was he who changed our original bad way of life......" After a pause, he asked me again: "Jiangqiao, I especially want you to tell the truth, do you still mind the demolition at the beginning, and our group of neighbors made trouble with you?" ”

Mao Zhi said and handed me a cigarette, as if to apologize again, but I didn't take it from him, because now I don't have any special emotions, and I basically can't touch a cigarette. After I was silent for a while, I replied to Mao Zhi: "To be honest, a few years ago, I did not live happily because of this matter, but now I see that everyone is doing well because of the demolition, and I can be regarded as having figured it out." The person who was wrong back then was actually my ......"

Mao Zhi patted me on the shoulder, his expression was full of emotion, but in the end he chose to keep everything silent. And I also have expectations for him, I hope that everyone can get along as simple as before, and then have a little more true love between neighbors.

……

This night, I didn't go to see Edamame's cool toys after all, because his private calculator seemed to have lost his hand, and he didn't come out of the room for more than an hour. Just like I can't figure out my own life, what he can't figure out is a numbers game where one plus one equals many. I really don't know which of the two of us is the one who is most distressed this night.

After buying a packet of throat lozenges at the pharmacy in front of the community, I sat on a bench across the street to kill time. I don't know why, I think of Zhao Mu, originally he should have had a few sets of his own demolition compensation houses in this community. But because he helped me pay off the debt of the coffee shop, he sold his old house ahead of schedule. Not only did he lose the opportunity to get rich overnight, but he also lost the fate of being neighbors with us again. I owe him that! Fortunately, he is not doing badly now, otherwise I really don't know how to compensate him.

I thought of Chen Yi again, before today, I never dreamed that after going around and around, we would have the opportunity to live door to door again. I can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am worried that something is wrong with her marriage with Wang Ze. Over the years, Wang Ze has been like a mysterious person in my consciousness, and I have hardly seen him and Chen Yi appear at the same time, which seems to indirectly verify that there is not a marriage based on love between him and Chen Yi, so their marriage relationship may have broken down.

I don't want to think about things so badly, because I'm about to face such a marriage, but I don't need Chen Yi to tell me from her experience that a marriage without love will not be happy.

After thinking about it for a while, I received a text message from Qiu Zi'an, who just asked me if I had solved Cao Yang's affairs. From a fact-by-case point of view, I have to thank him for this.

I replied to him with a message: "The matter has been settled, Xiao Ai's concert has also been taken over by Le Yao, thank you very much for your help this time, when I am busy for a while, I will make a special trip to Beijing to invite you to dinner." ”

"I don't have to eat or anything, and for me, it's just a gesture...... I just hope that this incident will turn the conflict between us. Not to mention being friends, but if you have the opportunity to meet again, it is enough for everyone to nod and say hello. ”

"Yes, let it pass."

I thought that Qiu Zi'an would not reply to the message, but after a while, he sent another message: "Jiang Qiao, I know that it may not be appropriate to ask you about this matter, but there are few people around me who can inquire, but I still can't let go of Chen Yi, I just want to ask you about her current situation." ”

This is a difficult thing to be honest with Qiu Zi'an, because I am not sure what the situation is between her and Wang Ze, and if I rashly tell Qiu Zi'an that she is in Nanjing, it may cause her a lot of trouble. So, after some weighing, I said to Qiu Zi'an: "She should be busy with film investment recently, and I don't know the specifics......"

"I know she's recently invested in a film, and I know she'll be back home in the near future. I think that you are in Nanjing, so you should know the news of her return before I do...... Jiang Qiao, don't worry, after so many years of social experience, I have experienced everything, and I won't pester Chen Yi like you think, I just want to know her news from the perspective of a friend...... Or if you understand, you just want to know whether her married life is happy or not. ”

I was silent for a moment before I replied, "I don't know more than you do, and you may not believe it, but since she got married, I could count my contact with her on one finger." ”

I can't see Qiu Zi'an's expression on the other end of the phone, but I seem to be able to feel his distress, Chen Yi seems to have given him all his desperation, so he is willing to marry Wang Ze, and he didn't give him another chance.

This time, Qiu Zi'an didn't reply to the message, but I remembered that I had to find time to talk to him face-to-face, because as one of the shareholders of Tianqi Media, he may have a certain understanding of the inside story of Yuan Zhen's departure back then.

At this moment, I had a feeling that everything seemed to have returned to the original starting point, Chen Yi had become my neighbor again, and the neighbors were also in the same building, closer than before. Even Qiu Zi'an is no longer my enemy...... If possible, I really want everything to stand still in this moment, and my mind can take charge of everything, so that the future exists in my imagination and realizes it one by one in my imagination. At that time, everyone will be free from the pain and reap a happy ending together in this story that is not like a story!

……

It was late at night when I returned to the hotel, but I was a little sleepless, and I kept standing at the window and looking at the square of the hotel. Maybe tomorrow is a good day, even at this point in time, there are intermittent buses into the hotel, and then the groom-like person brings the relatives and friends in the car into the hotel, it is estimated that he is married to a foreign girl, and the woman's relatives and friends need to be taken to Nanjing in advance and settled.

This picture is too familiar to me, because I was born in a wedding family, and I will organize weddings for many people every day, but I don't know why, marriage has become a difficult thing when it comes to me.

I don't know if there will be any changes between the future and the golden autumn, and whether Shenzhen should face it or not, I don't know the bottom of my heart. Come to think of it, there's so much, so much to do...... I started feeling tired.

I've heard that when you're tired, the woman you miss the most is the one you love the most......
