Chapter 21: Life is always so spoofed
After work, I went to the Convention and Exhibition Center to wait for Zhang Li, and he took Metro Line 1 to Line 2.
I saw Zhang Li coming out of the subway wearing a pair of sunglasses from afar, he looked around in the crowd, I walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and he grinned jerkyly when he saw me.
"It's not as miserable as you say, wearing such good glasses!" I put my arm around Tension's shoulders and smiled. Tension glasses are very foreign and are the most popular style of Prada.
"If you want to take out the broken thing, no one wants it, so it's coming in handy!" Zhang Zhang said self-deprecatingly, he reached out and removed his glasses, and I saw that his right eye socket was dark and blue.
"What's going on?" I was a little surprised, Zhang Li had such a good physique, he was rich and had a gold chain around his neck, I always laughed at him for not looking like a good person, no one would dare to bully him, but his dark eyes were clearly smashed by someone with a fist.
"Doesn't this owe a lot of foreign debts, and I've met a ruthless character!" Zhang Zhang sighed and said in a depressed mood.
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? I know there is a family in the neighborhood that tastes very authentic, let's try it! I said as I pulled the tension and walked forward along Chang'an Road.
I didn't ask where Zhang Li's car A6 went, and I guess the situation won't be good when he looks like this. I feel more and more that life is like a, riding a good young man with strong blood under the crotch, so that you can't turn over, and one day this loses interest in you, and when you get up, your back is sore and your legs are weak, and you can no longer stand up, and you can no longer fight.
Zhang Li was my high school classmate, and he didn't study very well when he was in school, and he barely talked to me. Zhang Zhang was not admitted to university, and when I innocently reached out to my parents to ask for money on the university campus, Zhang Zhang had already begun to earn money to support his family on the construction site in Xi'an. In just three or four years, Zhang Li has become a contractor from a small worker on the construction site, with a smart brain and can endure hardships, he bought a house in less than two years, and sat in an Audi under his ass in the third year.
When I first entered the rivers and lakes and was still running around in Xi'an to find a job, there were already 100 workers under Zhang Li. Once I met Zhang Zhang when I was wandering around the academy gate, Zhang Zhang was full of spring, he invited me to eat hot pot in the Luoma Temple, holding a smart phone that Nokia had just come out of at that time, the phone kept ringing, like a busy person's attitude, I was still smoking a five-dollar pack of monkey king, Zhang Zhang was already the king of hibiscus at that time.
Housing prices in Xi'an have doubled in recent years, and new construction sites have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Zhang Zhang has taken on a lot of work in the past few years, and he must have made a lot of money. But I haven't figured out what it looks like for a while.
Zhang Li and I walked to a small alley opposite Shaanxi Normal University, walked into the noodle restaurant that tasted really good, and asked for two servings of Zangzi Dumpling Noodles.
After sitting down, Zhang Zhang said: "It's too special and unfortunate these days, there are waves of accounts, forcing me to go to Liangshan soon!" ”
I don't know how to comfort Zhang Li, I don't know much about things in the business field, and I have nowhere to start if I want to help Zhang Zhang analyze it, so I can only silently listen to Zhang Zhang sigh in front of me.
"The developer's capital chain was broken, all the money I invested was wasted, and the supplier urged me every day, and I couldn't even pay the workers' wages. A few days ago, I borrowed a loan shark, and the interest alone was 50,000 yuan in ten days, I had no money, and I was beaten, not to mention, and the car was driven away! Zhang Zhang also completely ignored the other people in the noodle restaurant, and said to himself. He didn't care if I was listening or not, it seemed like he was talking to himself, maybe he would feel better if he said it.
As soon as Zhang Zhang said this, I finally understood. In recent years, the developer dragged the project payment of the general contractor, the general contractor dragged the money of the subcontractor and the labor service company, the subcontractor dragged the material payment of the supplier, and the labor service company owed the wages of the migrant workers. On this battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, it is compared to endurance, and what cannot be consumed is like tension, and it can only be overturned. The most rough and thick developers used the money of general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to move the game, and quietly realized the empty glove white wolf and became the biggest winner.
Zangzi dumplings were on the table, Zhang Zhang seemed to be really hungry, picked up the bowl and sucked it, and the loud voice made the two beauties of Shaanxi Shida next to him frequently look sideways. I know that this is a habit he has developed on the construction site for many years, and he can't change it for a while.
"I ate a steamed bun in the morning, and I haven't eaten water and rice yet, so I eat fast!" After Zhang Li finished eating a large bowl of noodles, I didn't even go down halfway, and he was a little embarrassed to explain.
I asked if I wanted another bowl, and Zhang Zhang smiled and said, "Let's have a small bowl!" ”
When the second bowl of tension was finished, I only finished the first bowl. He wiped his mouth and asked me if I had any cigarettes, and brought him one, I took out the Monkey King and handed him one, and the tension was on, and I took a puff very hard, and I enjoyed it very much.
"I haven't had any money to buy cigarettes for the past two days, and I have all the thoughts of scratching the wall!" Zhang Zhang smiled bitterly.
I smiled and got up to pay the bill, it's better not to smoke in front of the beautiful college students next to me, I'm not contributing to the construction of a civilized Xi'an, it's really that poor face that hurts me shallowly.
Coming out of the noodle shop, the autumn wind was blowing. Zhang Li and I walked up to the overpass in front of the gate of Shaanxi Division, and I said, "Actually, buddy is miserable enough, I should do my best to help you if you have difficulties, but I can only take out 5,000 yuan with all my might, you can take it over and make do with dinner!" "I'm telling the truth, after the salary is paid, I come back in a circle, and I have 6,000 yuan left, I leave 1,000 yuan for myself as living expenses, and the rest is all for Zhang Li, I know that he needs money more than me.
"Thank you, buddy, I know you, you spend as much money as I do, you can't save money, I'm very happy to have five thousand!" Zhang Zhang patted me on the shoulder and said.
After Zhang Zhang finished speaking, he asked me for another cigarette and lit it, and he looked at the traffic under the overpass with deep eyes.
The tension of the year was also like this, driving the Audi, running on the central axis with high spirits; There were also beautiful women in the Li Limousine back then, and he said that his little lover who Chinese college would call a bed in eight foreign languages; After packing up and refreshing, Zhang Zhang drove to the Conservatory near Chang'an Interchange, and for three or five hundred yuan, he could find a goddess who sat on his waist and sang rock with a guitar.
Once I asked Li Li what kind of woman is worthy of being called a goddess, and he replied: "What goddess is not a goddess, they are all the same, and when they take off their pants, they are all a pile of meat." He said that he once went to the hotel with a porcelain doll with a devilish figure and angel face, and took off his pants and the woman was full of whip marks, and he didn't know who would abuse people so ruthlessly.
Zhang Li and I stood silently on the overpass for a while, thinking about packing up a few clothes that were placed on Luo Jun's side and bringing them to Li Xin's side. When I think of the house, I suddenly remembered Li Xin's words, she said that as long as I can find someone to fix the floor heating, this house will be rented to me.
"The floor heating in my rented house is not hot, can you help me find someone to clean it up?" I knew that this kind of trivial matter would not be difficult at all, after all, he used to be a big contractor.
"Do you need to find someone? I'm a dry water and electricity installer, and I can do it myself! Zhang Zhang patted his chest and said very seriously.
"Isn't that too costly, let you do it yourself!" I said to Zhang Li with a smile.
Zhang Zhang said: "A few years ago, I was holding bricks and carrying steel pipes on the construction site, and now I am still capable!" If I can't persist this time, I will continue to go to the construction site to work for others, I will think that I have had a good dream for nearly ten years! ”
"I'm glad you think so, but I'm sure it'll pass." After I finished speaking, I asked Zhang Li: "When is it convenient for you to go over and have a look?" ”
Zhang Zhang said that he would go back and prepare the tools to call me, and I nodded and patted Zhang Li on the shoulder. We parted, Zhang Li got on the No. 631 bus and went to the Chengxi Bus Station, and I got on the No. 504 bus in the opposite direction and rushed towards Li Xin's house.
It's already past the end of work, Li Xin left the key to me when she went out in the morning, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to enter the door when she went home, and I was delayed for a long time with Zhang Li, and I was a little anxious on the bus.
The bus stop is still some way from the community, and I got off the bus and rushed towards the community. It was the end of the day, and there were more people going upstairs, and the elevator stopped almost every two floors, and I was anxiously staring at the floor numbers on the human-machine interface of the elevator.
I finally got to the fifteenth floor, and when I went out, I found that the hallway was empty. Li Xin wasn't waiting for me there, I think she might have a spare key with her, maybe she'd already opened the door and went in.
I took out the key and opened the door, there was no movement in the house, and it was clear that Li Xin had not returned yet.
Jelly came out of the wooden box and saw me wagging my tail happily. Given my carelessness last night, I only poured a little dog food for him this time and put the little dog food left in the cabinet under the kitchen sink.
As I was about to leave the kitchen, I suddenly thought that Li Xin might still be working overtime, and if I made dinner and waited for her to come back, she would be happy, so that she would be more in the mood to rent this house to me.
I thought of this and started immediately, but when I opened the refrigerator, I was dumbfounded, there was only a bottle of bean paste in it.
I had no choice but to go downstairs again to buy groceries. There is a vegetable and fruit supermarket next to the convenience store at the entrance of the community, and I selected a few fresh vegetables to go upstairs. In the past few years with Tang Xiaoyun, I have almost always cooked, and the accumulation of time has allowed me to practice my cooking skills.
Tang Xiaoyun once joked that as long as there is a bottle of bean paste, I can go all over the world, this is true, all the dishes I fry have the taste of bean paste. However, since Li Xin bought the bean paste in the refrigerator, it proves that she also likes the taste of the bean paste.
After tossing for nearly an hour, I made four dishes, and at my level, I could only fry shredded potatoes, cold cucumbers, plus a boiled oil and wheat cabbage, and a roasted eggplant.
Because he had already eaten with Zhang Zhang before, this meal was specially made for Li Xin. But I waited left and right, but I couldn't wait for Li Xin to come back, and she couldn't get through when I called. I went to the kitchen again to make a West Lake beef soup, and when I came out of the kitchen, the dishes I had prepared before were almost cold.
Leaning on the sofa and waiting for Li Xin, the jelly after eating obediently crawled at my feet, looking up at me with a resentful expression. I think Li Xin's boyfriend Jelly must have been stuffy in the house for a day, so he had some resentment. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I just went downstairs to slip on the jelly and waited for Li Xin in the yard.
What a kind person I am......
