I threw the little personal belongings I took out of my office into the garbage bin on the side of the road, looked up at the gray sky, and finally realized that I had nothing at the moment, and I was finally alone.

I left the office as an escape, but I didn't know where I was going. Step by step wandering through the streets of late autumn, passers-by with hurried looks, speeding vehicles, they all seem to be the same as me, with no direction and no end.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the edge of the South Lake, and I found a smooth stone to sit down. Looking at the sparkling surface of the lake, it slowly calmed down. Light a cigarette for yourself, not far away is the place where I stayed with Li Xin the night before, today, I don't know if she thinks of me.

There are leaves of the Chinese acacia floating on the surface of the lake, and the South Lake in late autumn has the taste of twilight, and it will not be long before she hides under the ice like an old man hiding in a coffin, and she will give birth to new vitality under the ice. When spring comes, the green grass buds will wait for life on the lakeside, and the frozen lake will slowly retreat to the other side of the shore.

The work that I was entangled in and tired of was finally discarded, and the rest of my life should be beautiful, at least not as passionless as in the past!

Zhang Zhang called, he said that he wanted to fulfill his promise to help me repair the floor heating in Li Xin's room, he said that he would go to the shooting range bus stop immediately and let me pick him up, he brought tools, and he couldn't cope with it alone.

I rose from the stone, and all the things I had thought about were gone.

I put my hands on the roaring motorcycle, and the motorcycle dragged the black smoke straight to the bus stop at the shooting range.

Zhang Zhang stood behind the billboard a hundred meters away from the bus stop sign, so that I was stunned when I got off the motorcycle, and I called Zhang Zhang from behind the billboard.

The tension was hidden along the way, and I knew that he was still a little unaccustomed to the life of falling from a height.

He may be afraid that someone will recognize him as a contractor who once drove an Audi and slept with a female college student, but in fact, there are people in this city who care about your success, but few people care about your failure, and no one cares whether you are alive or dead after your failure.

In order to make the tension more comfortable, I beckoned to call the motorcycle who drove me here just now, there are a lot of tools, and it is really difficult for the two of them to carry it over like this.

Although Zhang Zhang owes a lot of debt, he does not fall down, he still wears famous brands, and his leather shoes are still shiny.

I had the card on the gate of the community in my hand, and after swiping it, Zhang Zhang and I went in, and the security guard at the gate of the community did not stop us.

People are always vain, I wonder if Zhang Li will admire the high-end of this community, but Zhang Li didn't take a second look at it, and went straight forward.

In fact, if he wants to come back, it has been several years since Zhang Li entered the middle class, and this community may not be anything in his eyes.

I went upstairs and opened the door, what surprised me was that Li Xin was actually in the house, she went out before me in the morning, is it because she can't come back at this moment?

"This is my friend Zhang Li, who came to help repair the floor heating of the house!" I pointed to the tension and introduced it to Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled very standard and stretched out his hand to Zhang Li, Zhang Zhang and Li Xin shook it gently, but his expression told me that he was a little unnatural.

Also, the former contractor was also a small boss, with a hard waist, and now he is mixed to the point that he personally helps me repair floor heating, which is somewhat embarrassing.

After saying hello to Li Xin, we quickly got into the groove.

Zhang Zhang said that he is an expert in plumbing installation, he is really not bragging, and he is indeed unambiguous when he moves. To be honest, I know how to use some tools, but I always feel that I am not skilled enough to use them, and the tools are constantly waving in the hands of Zhang Li, giving people a very powerful beauty.

There is no need to question his professionalism, I see all this.

After a while, Zhang Zhang had already found a problem, the pipes in Li Xin's bedroom were not open, the hot water could not flow, and the house would naturally not be warm in winter.

This problem is more troublesome, the pipe coils around and around under the ground, who knows where it doesn't work?

I know that Li Xin is not very clear about this kind of thing, and after discussing with Zhang Li, we didn't say hello to Li Xin again, we vacated the bedroom and removed the protective layer with an electric shovel. Most of the bedroom's high-end wooden floors were destroyed, but there was nothing that could be done.

Li Xin came in to see it once, she didn't speak, I was completely relieved, as long as she didn't blame me for smashing the floor of the house without saying hello, the rest is easy to say. She handed me a box of cigarettes with disgusting drawings on them, which I knew were not domestic. I've been smoking for a few years, and that image doesn't hurt me much anymore. I opened the cigarette case and handed it to Zhang Li, Li Xin stood at the door, I was embarrassed to light a cigarette for myself.

"I still have something to do in a while, so I'll leave first, hard work Brother Li!" Li Xin smiled at Zhang Zhang and waved away, and I heard the sound of her changing shoes at the door, and I was in a trance.

Zhang Zhang was covered in ashes, he touched a handful of sweat and tilted his head and smiled: "You kid is not shallow, what about the girlfriend before?" ”

"Before? I didn't have any girlfriends before! I mumbled over, crouched down and continued to work.

After confirming that there was no problem, I went out of the community to buy cement and sand not far away, and there was a floor left over from the renovation in the storage room, and when the ground was repaired, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

We hadn't done this kind of hard work in years, and we were tired and sweaty.

Li Xin has not come back since he left, and dinner naturally did not arrive. After a little rest, I washed up briefly, and then I went downstairs with Zhang Li to find something to eat.

There is a Lanzhou beef ramen outside the community, the environment and health are unsatisfactory, and we are not in the mood to find a better one when we are hungry, so we can only make do here.

I asked for a large portion of noodles, and I added meat and eggs to confuse my gurgling stomach.

Out of the ramen restaurant, the wind rolled up again, and there were cold raindrops caught in the wind, and I clamped my clothes unpretentiously and walked in the direction of the community.

"Feng Tang, can you find your friend and lend me some more money!" Zhang Zhang followed behind me, his voice was low, and he asked me a little embarrassed.

I don't know how to answer Zhang Li for a while, just a few days after I was paid, I don't have much money on me, the hole in Zhang Li is relatively large, the last time the 5,000 yuan was lent to him by gritting my teeth, and now I really have no ability.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhang Zhang continued: "I shouldn't have opened my mouth to you again, I know you don't have much money, but I really have no way to think about it, and someone came to collect the debt this morning." I said I was helping you repair floor heating, but in fact, I came out to hide from the account! When I had money, those people accompanied me with smiling faces like their grandsons all day long, but now they have no money, and they all turn their faces and don't recognize people! ”

Zhang Li's face was helpless and resentful when he spoke, there are so many people who have fallen into the well these years, and there is nothing we can do.

I was really embarrassed at the moment, after all, I really didn't have any money in my hand, and I stood on the side of the street with Zhang Li, speechless for a while.

"How much money are you missing?" I asked after a long time.

"I still owe more than 300,000 to suppliers!" Zhang Li took a hard puff of the flue.

I don't know how big a project Zhang Zhang has taken over, just looking at the foreign debt, I know that he must have put in a lot this time.

"It's too much, you allow me to think of a way for a few days!" I say this, in fact, I don't have a bottom in my heart at all, so much money, I really can't make it up for a while, unless I sell my body.

"I didn't think about borrowing more, you can help me raise another fifty or sixty thousand, I'll deal with it first!" Tension was full of eagerness.

I nodded and didn't say anything more, curling my neck and walking back towards the neighborhood. The security guard at the entrance of the community shrank in the sentry box and did not come out, and the ghost weather was getting colder and colder day by day.

After going upstairs, Zhang Zhang finished packing up his tools and was about to leave, saying that he couldn't go back when the subway stopped after a while. I didn't hold back the tension anymore, and sent him into the elevator before turning back.

Standing on the balcony, I could clearly see Zhang Li, dragging a large bag of tools through the landscape area and walking towards the main entrance of the community, his figure was full of exhaustion and helplessness.

I just quit my job and was cut off from my source of livelihood again, but the tension was so difficult, how could I watch him be crushed by the crisis?
