The front door is a large fence.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and every household seems to be filled with the joy of the festival, and a few old neighbors who are usually not smiling also have smiles on the corners of their mouths at this time, chatting with the neighbors about the New Year. Feeling the joyful atmosphere, I stood on the small bluestone steps at the entrance of my courtyard, looked at the red satin banners hung by the neighborhood committees on the street, looked at the big red lanterns hanging in the alleys, listened to the sound of firecrackers popping up in my ears from time to time, took a deep breath, and just wanted to look up to the sky and shout - I, Hu Hansan, are back again!
The so-called golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, alas, it is better to have their own home.
It's been a month since I left home, and I really miss my parents a little, so I pushed open the courtyard door and strode in.
“…… Parents. ”
The door of the south room was open, and the rumbling sound of the washing machine could be faintly heard, the mother was holding the clothes rack and hanging the clothes on the rope, and the father was holding the newspaper and rag, and was wiping the glass of the north room on the stool, and when he heard the door, they looked at it at the same time.
I snorted, "Mom, I'll wash it for you, Dad, don't wipe it, leave me here, I'll come." ”
I used to want to pick up my mother's clothes, but she glared at me: "Go aside!" Don't make a mess! ”
I didn't care, scrambling to help my mother dry her clothes, "Oh, didn't I just come back a day or two late, the main thing is that there is something at hand, I didn't go away for a while, and I drove back, definitely not as fast as the plane, you can't let me drive without sleep for twenty hours a day, right?" Doesn't that tire me out? Seeing that my mother's face looked better, I hurried to help my father and wiped the remaining glass.
Around a quarter past ten in the morning.
The three of us finally finished our work and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
"By the way, Mom, how is the family doing?" I said, "It's nothing, right?" ”
My mother glanced at me, "Why are you okay?" You are leisurely, after the divorce, you went to Yunnan to play in the mountains and rivers, you don't care about anything, how comfortable, how leisurely, but what about the old lady? The old lady has to be scolded by the family? What's this called? I'll tell you, wipe your ass by yourself, and your mother won't care about it in the future! ”
When I heard this, I understood seven or eight points in my heart, and pretended to be angry and said, "Who scolded you? I'll look for him! ”
The old mother cocked Erlang's legs angrily, "It's not your mother-in-law, Aunt Zou was almost a phone call a day a while ago, as soon as I answered, I began to chirp and reason with me, what our family is sorry for their family, what Yue'e suffered a big crime, anyway, the old lady heard it, Yue'e and their family were not satisfied with the distribution of property, as if they wanted to go to the beauty salon, but then Yue'e may have been anxious with her mother, I heard the two people on the other end of the phone quarreling, the quarrel was quite fierce, and then, Aunt Zou never came to call. ”
I smiled awkwardly, "Where is Yue'e now?" Hebei hometown? ”
Mom said: "I don't know, I haven't been in touch since that time, maybe it's with Yanjing, after all, she has to find a job." ”
Dad looked at me with a straight face, "Yue'e's younger brother Zou Jixiang should be in Yanjing, when you didn't get divorced a month ago, Yue'e seemed to introduce her brother to a job through a customer in a beauty salon, well, it's a café, what's it called, go to ...... Upper Island ...... Yes, Shangdao Coffee, if you want to find Yue'e, go and ask him. ”
I nodded, secretly remembering it.
After lunch, I went back to my hut alone, there was no time to make a fire in it, the air was dry and cold, looking at the empty room, I sighed slightly, went out of the house and took two newspapers and chopping wood, filled the honeycomb coal into the stove, pressed the honeycomb charcoal, lit the newspaper, I covered my nose and fanned the stove desperately, and lit the fire.
After a while, the warm temperature rippled in the house, and it was much more comfortable.
When the remaining smoke was gone, I touched my phone and started calling. However, I may have underestimated the woman's anger value, more than a month has passed, they still don't lend me the phone, Zou Yue's mobile phone is turned off, Yan Wanru is on the phone, Yuan Yazhen's mobile phone has no signal, and it can't be connected for the time being, Xi Mansha beeped more than a dozen times and no one answered, Jiang Yan's phone was even happier, and she hung up directly to me, and she didn't listen.
I hated this in my heart, but I couldn't say anything because I was at a loss, so I had to go out and change to a pay phone.
Xu knew that it was me who called, Xi Mansha and Jiang Yan still didn't answer, but Zou Yue'e, who had her mobile phone turned off, tossed through, although no one answered, but I understood the trick as soon as I pondered it, the phone was turned off in the first few minutes, and it was turned on in the next few minutes? How can it be so coincidental? It must have been Aunt Zou who set up a blacklist for my mobile phone number and home phone, and as soon as I called, she would automatically reply to the shutdown message.
Alas, I still want to sleep together, but a few of them don't even answer the phone, and it seems that there is really little hope.
I groaned, leaned on the computer desk and thought about it, and finally, I decided to slow down the other people, starting with Zou Yue'e, and then after I got Aunt Zou, I looked at the situation, and then resolved the contradictions of the other people one by one, step by step.
With a certain mind, I immediately drove out the door and made the final preparations.
The guqin and the bracelet beads were stored in the bank safe by me before I went home in the morning, and now I only wear the meteorite beads, and when the BMW stopped in front of a jewelry processing store in the financial world, I got out of the car and went directly to the shopkeeper, took out the meteorite beads, and asked him to match the beads with a necklace.
The shopkeeper's expression is as strange as it gets," ...... What are the requirements for a necklace? ”
I thought about it, pointed to the inconspicuous meteorite beads and said: "I don't want the kind of perforated, that is, this bead can't be physically processed, you just need to make a kind of support that can hold the beads, and when the final finish, put the beads on the necklace and press it, if it can't fall off, by the way, the necklace must be platinum, it must be luxurious, well, how to say it, you know the kind that models often wear on foreign jewelry exhibitions on TV, right?" According to that design, the price is negotiable, and that is not a problem. ”
The shopkeeper was stunned: "For such a stone ball, you have a platinum necklace?" ”
The waiter next to him looked at the unsightly meteorite beads, and wanted to laugh a little.
I frowned unhappily: "You don't care about the rest, I'll ask for a necklace, the sooner the better." Seeing the shopkeeper looking at the beads with a wry smile, and wanted to say something, I waved my hand to interrupt him, took out the check book, signed a check for 50,000 yuan and handed it over, "This is a deposit, is it enough?" ”
The shopkeeper's expression froze, "...... Enough, enough. ”
I nodded: "Then you write me a receipt, by the way, you measure the size of this bead as soon as possible, I must not keep the thing, I have to take it away, and after your necklace is typed, I will take the beads and put it on, and pay the balance when the time comes, well, how long will it take to make it?" ”
The shopkeeper hesitated: "It takes a lot of effort to customize, and it takes a month or two to design at the earliest." ”
I raised my eyebrows: "So long?" That's not good, I can't wait so long, well, this way, platinum necklaces you can find ready-made products, the grams should be sufficient, the platinum should be pure, and then change the bottom of the necklace a little, just connect a platinum tray that can hold beads, it's okay, right? ”
The shopkeeper calculated for a moment and nodded, "No problem, I'll try to get the necklace out this week." ”
I stretched out my hand and shook him: "Okay, I'm sorry for your trouble, happy cooperation." ”
After taking the receipt and discussing the details, I went out of the jewelry processing store, walked to a store on the side of the road, and dialed Zou Yue'e's mobile phone from the public phone, wanting to ask her where she was, so I could go to her, but the phone beeped, and no one answered on the other end, and when it finally overtimed, the phone was automatically disconnected. What's going on? Who doesn't answer their calls? Aunt Zou won't have an accident, right?
Back in the car, I rubbed my eyebrows and dialed the phone number of Aunt Zou's hometown.
Toot, toot, toot," ...... Hey, who's going to look for? "The phone finally got through, it was a female voice, with a strong Hebei accent, the age should be between thirty-five and fifteen, a little familiar, eighty percent are relatives of Grandpa Zou's family.
I immediately said, "Please find Zou Yue." ”
For some reason, the female voice on the other end immediately became vigilant, "Looking for Yue?" Who are you? Yanjing's, right? ”
My mind spun around and said, "I'm her former colleague, and I'm looking for her something, you see?" "Aunt Zou, a relative of the seven aunts and eight aunts, obviously has some hostility in her words, I naturally can't admit who I am, otherwise, it is estimated that the other party will hang up the phone directly, and the divorce matter is so big, come to think of it, my notoriety has spread all over Aunt Zou's hometown.
"Colleague?" The voice paused, "Yue'e is not here." ”
"Oh, so do you know where she went? In Yanjing or in Hebei? ”
There was no sound on the other end, but a whisper could be faintly heard, and after more than ten seconds, a voice suddenly said, "You are a colleague from Yue'e Tea City?" What's the matter with her? This voice is Grandma Zou's.
Hearing this, I unconsciously felt a little weak, coughed, and didn't dare to hide my identity, "...... Mom, uh, it's me. ”
"Gu Jing!?" At the other end, Grandma Zou's tone suddenly sharpened, "It's you?" Do you still have the face to call? Yes? ”
Although the other party couldn't see it, I still said with a smiling face: "Mom, this, all the mistakes are my fault, I'm really sorry." ”
"Don't call me Mom! I can't afford it! Are you alright? I'm hanging! ”
"Oh, don't, don't hang it, what, is Yue'e there with you? Can you let her answer the phone? ”
"I don't know where she is! She's here, and she's not going to talk to you! ”
"Uh, I'm this, I don't mean anything else, isn't this about the New Year, I want to go to your place to say goodbye......"
"No need, Gu Jing, let me tell you the truth, don't beat our Yue'e idea, she has a boyfriend now!" After saying this, toot-too-tut, do-toot-toot, the line on that end was broken.
As soon as I heard this, my face turned white, I have a boyfriend? No way?
Thinking that it might be that Grandma Zou was deliberately angry with me, my mood calmed down a little, but thinking that people might not be talking nonsense, my face sank again, boyfriend? Boyfriend? The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, the more depressed I became, hammered the steering wheel, and as soon as I looked up, I stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Shangdao Cafe in Chaoyangmen, and on the way, I even ran two red lights at intersections without cameras.
The café is on the second floor.
After going up, I looked left and right, but I didn't see Zou Jixiang's figure.
A handsome waitress with an average appearance walked over and handed over a list, "Sir, may I ask ...... you?"
I interrupted, "Do you have a guy named Zou Jixiang here?" Where is it? You call him! ”
The girl's face changed, she looked at me, and asked timidly, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"If you call you, you will call! If he doesn't work today! You call him! Let's just say that Gu Jing is looking for him! "As soon as I heard that Aunt Zou was looking for a partner, I was not hit hard by the average two, my mood was very impatient, and my speech was not very polite. Watching the girl hesitate to go backstage, I took a breath, sat down in the corner seat, called another waiter, and ordered a cup of coffee.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a dark-skinned young man walked down the stairs to the second floor.
When I saw it, it was Zou Jixiang, not to mention, when I first met him in Hebei, he was still full of "rustic", but after staying with Yanjing for a while, I felt different. However, as soon as he came, the girl who had just helped me call someone immediately walked over with concern, whispered something to him, and pointed to my side, Zou Jixiang shook his head at the girl, looked at my side, hesitated, and reluctantly came over, and the girl also followed him, as if she was very uneasy.
“…… Are you looking for me? Zou Jixiang's tone was very light.
Although he may be a few months older than me, I have been his brother-in-law after all, and the shelf must be picked up. I took the seat across from Banunu, "Sit down." He then looked at the waitress and pointed to my coffee cup, "Order him a cup of coffee too." ”
Who knows, the girl didn't move, and looked at Zou Jixiang hesitantly, "Is he?" ”
Zou Jixiang hesitated, pointed to the girl and introduced: "This is my object, Huang Ling." Then he pointed at me, "My sister's former husband." ”
Huang Ling snorted, "He's the ...... you said" Look at me, she quickly shut up.
I squeezed out a smile: "Oh, you're an auspicious girlfriend, I'm embarrassed just now, I talked too much." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Huang Ling waved her hand quickly.
I said, "Sit down and order whatever you want." ”
Zou Jixiang was generous, but after Huang Ling sat down, he looked a little restrained.
I was anxious to ask about Yue'e's situation, but I couldn't hold it down a little, so I had to find a topic to lead me over, "How is work?" To go well or not? ”
"Okay." Zou Jixiang replied.
I smiled and said, "Your sister too, you didn't tell me about coming to Yanjing, and I only found out today, well, where do you live now?" Environmental habits? ”
Zou Jixiang said lukewarmly: "The house rented outside is very good." ”
I sighed and said, "By the way, have you been in touch with your sister recently?" Where is she? ”
Zou Jixiang looked at me hesitantly and didn't speak. Seeing this, I frowned slightly and set my eyes on Huang Ling.
Huang Ling moved her lips, and finally said, "Sister Yue'e is in her hometown in Hebei." ”
I blinked and asked, "I heard she's looking for a partner?" Is there such a thing? ”
Zou Jixiang said: "There is a person chasing my sister, but my sister has not agreed for the time being." ”
Hearing this, I was really relieved, and then I was a little angry: "Who is chasing her?" Who's the people? How old are you? What for? ”
Huang Ling looked at me nervously, "I heard that he seems to be a businessman, about thirty years old, quite rich." ”
I snorted with a calm face, this is not a taste in my heart, although Aunt Zou loves me, but who can guarantee that she will not break the jar and break it, and agreed to others in frustration? Therefore, as soon as I heard that a rival in love appeared, I couldn't sit still and couldn't wait to fly to Hebei immediately.
After chatting for a while, I asked about Zou Jixiang and Huang Ling again.
It turned out that the two of them met in a coffee shop, Huang Ling is half Yanjing, and the social and living circles are in Yanjing, although the family conditions are average, but at least there is a house in Yanjing for Huang Ling's family of three.
"Have you seen your parents?" I said.
Zou Jixiang and Huang Ling's eyes were a little gloomy, and in the end, Huang Ling replied: "I have met Sister Yue'e, and she agrees with us being together, but ......" She looked at Zou Jixiang apologetically, "But my parents don't agree." ”
Zou Jixiang said bitterly: "They think I don't have a house, and if I get married in the future, I won't even have a place to live." ”
Huang Ling took his hand, her eyes were a little red, "Don't worry about them, we can rent a house first, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, I'll go back to Hebei with you, the house over there is cheap." ”
Isn't it just a house when you get married?
I probably understood, "Then will you two go back to Hebei for the New Year?" ”
Huang Lingyi, "I want to go over with Jixiang and leave in two days, but I have to go back to Yanjing before the Spring Festival, my mother ...... My mom wouldn't let me spend the holidays outside. ”
"In two days?" I frowned, "Well, you two go back and pack your things today, and we'll leave tomorrow." ”
Zou Jixiang was stunned, "Are you going too?" My sister and my mother won't let you in. ”
I coughed awkwardly, and said in my heart that there are still outsiders, can you save me some face? "That's it, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll go to prepare some New Year's goods in the evening."
Well, starting with Aunt Zou's younger brother seems to be a good choice.
Lack of a house?
Isn't that easy?
