"Hey, you're talking."

Lin Dong saw that Zhou Yunping hadn't spoken for a long time, but a pair of eyes swept around him, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Zhou Yunping said with a smile: "Boss, it's a little changed, but I'm stupid and can't describe that feeling in words." ”

"You guy, if you say it, you don't say it."

Lin Dong waved his hand, "What should you do, what do you want to do." ”

Zhou Yunping smiled, "Then I'll go." ”

After Zhou Yunping left, Lin Dong looked at the mirror for a while, except that he was full of inexhaustible strength, he didn't feel any other changes.

After handling the company's affairs, Lin Dong drove back to Sioux City. Thinking of the last time Chen Meiyu told him about Zuo Yonggui's illness, Lin Dong went to buy some gifts after arriving in Suzhou City and drove towards Zuo Yonggui's house. Zuo Yonggui lives in the famous villa area of Sioux City, which has been in the villa area for some years, and can be said to be the first batch of villa areas built in Sioux City. Driving into the community, as far as the eye can see, there is a green patch, a thick number can be seen everywhere, and the branches are thick, blocking the sunlight and casting patches of green shade.

Lin Dong drove to the door of Zuo Yonggui's house, got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air, the air here is much fresher than other places, and it is indeed the best villa area in Sioux City, judging from the most obvious greenery, it is far from being comparable to those newly built communities.

Outside the door, Lin Dong rang the doorbell.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties come and open the door.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

Lin Dong saw that this woman was about the same age as Zuo Yonggui. Thinking it was Zuo Yonggui's wife, he said with a smile: "You are Mrs. Zuo, I am a friend of Boss Zuo, I heard that he is sick, I came to see him." ”

The woman smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person, my name is Zhang Guifen." It was a part-time worker invited by Boss Zuo, not his wife. ”

Lin Dong smiled apologetically, "Then can I go in?" ”

Zhang Guifen saw Lin Dong holding a tonic in his hand. didn't doubt him, so he turned sideways and let Lin Dong enter the door.

"Boss Zuo is upstairs." Zhang Guifen closed the door, "Young man." I'll take you up. ”

"Sister Zhang, then there will be work."

Lin Dong followed Zhang Guifen into the door, and when he came to Zuo Yonggui's door, Zhang Guifen raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Zuo, a gentleman has come to see you."

Zuo Yonggui's coughing sound came from the room, and then Zuo Yonggui's voice was heard.

"Ahem...... Who is it? ”

Lin Dong opened his mouth and said, "Boss Zuo, it's me." ”

Zuo Yonggui heard Lin Dong's voice, and his voice was slightly excited, "Oh, it's Brother Lin." You go down there and wait for me, I'll change my clothes and go down. Zuo Yonggui really didn't want his old friends to see his current miserable situation, and wanted to clean up himself and meet Lin Dong again.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the living room downstairs."

Lin Dong handed over the gift he brought to Zhang Guifen, "Sister Zhang." I'm going down, please find a place to put these things away. ”

Zhang Guifen nodded, and Lin Dong walked towards the stairs and went downstairs.

After waiting in the living room downstairs for nearly half an hour, Lin Dong had nothing to do, so he admired the decoration of Zuo Yonggui's house in the living room. To say that this guy is really going to enjoy it. The villa is decorated like a royal palace, resplendent and luxurious, from the decoration materials to all the furniture and appliances, everything is top-notch. Thinking about it carefully, Zuo Yonggui's greatest pleasure in this life is enjoyment, he is not short of money, he can toss as much as he wants, he wanted to live this life like this, but he lost the ability to enjoy because of greed for pleasure.

Zhang Guifen helped Zuo Yonggui slowly walk down the stairs, Lin Dong heard footsteps, and when he looked back, he almost couldn't believe that the person Zhang Guifen was holding was the Zuo Yonggui who was slightly chubby before. Zuo Yonggui was wearing a plain white long-sleeved shirt, the cuffs and neckline were buttoned, the shirt looked unusually wide on him, and Zuo Yonggui was like a hanger for drying clothes, thin and skinny.

"Boss Zuo......"

Lin Dong was very sad when he saw his old friend become like this, and called Zuo Yonggui, and he couldn't speak.

Zuo Yonggui's cheeks are sunken, his cheekbones are high and protruding, he can no longer see the appearance of his fat head and big ears, his face is full of sickness, and he looks much older.

"Brother Lin, thank you for coming to see me."

Zuo Yonggui stepped forward to hold Lin Dong's hand, tears flowed through his eyes, since he was sick, none of the fox friends who used to call him brothers and sisters did not come to the door, but spoke viciously and slandered everywhere. The so-called adversity sees the truth, and after having a serious illness, Zuo Yonggui has another understanding of life.

Lin Dong patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Boss Zuo, this is not like you, don't cry, it's a joke, isn't it?" ”

Zuo Yonggui took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped his tears, "Brother, some emotions have been held in my heart for too long, and I can't help crying when I see you." ”

"Originally, I wanted to come to see you, but because there have been too many things recently, I didn't have time until today, and I came late, I hope you don't blame me, brother." Lin Dong said with a smile.

Zuo Yonggui sighed: "You don't know, when I wasn't sick before, I felt like the fourth prince of the Warring States Period, with 3,000 diners at home, and people came and went every day, and it was very lively." Since I got this disease, all of a sudden, I have become cold and sparse, and those people never come to the door again. ”

Zuo Yonggui is a lively person, bold, made a lot of friends, treats friends sincerely, and after getting sick, most of his friends abandoned him, this psychological gap made him feel lost, coupled with a serious illness, worried about life and death, his mood plummeted, and he was indifferent to human feelings, so he could only sigh and sigh.

"Come out for a walk with me. When I'm alone, I don't have the heart to go out for a walk, and I'm bored at home all day, and I'm about to get moldy. ”

Zuo Yonggui smiled, Lin Dong was able to come to see him, proving that he was not a complete failure in life, and his mood was slightly better.

"Okay."

Lin Dong and Zuo Yonggui went out, the sky gradually darkened, and the sunset hanging in the sky was only a little exposed, the clouds that had been dyed red for a long time, the daylight lost its temperature, and they walked in the shade of the trees in the community, the breeze came slowly, and it was indescribably comfortable and cool.

Zuo Yonggui walked very slowly, and his steps were very small.

Lin Dong asked, "Boss Zuo, why don't you see your family?" He thought that Zuo Yonggui should have a family to take care of at this time, and except for a servant he saw just now, it seemed that only its owner was left in the luxurious mansion.

Zuo Yonggui smiled sadly, "Family? I'm all broken. ”

Zuo Yonggui disliked that his original wife was not beautiful enough, and he was divorced more than ten years ago, and his son formed an incomprehensible hatred with him because of this, and he has never come back since he went to the United States to study, and I heard that he has become a family there.

Lin Dong inadvertently touched Zuo Yonggui's sadness, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked too much." ”

Zuo Yonggui waved his hand, "It's okay, Brother Lin, since I got sick, I found that I had too much time to make a big deal, so I began to recall the past and regret what I had done." I originally had a family, a wife and a son, my wife was virtuous, and my son was smart, but I did all my sins, and I want me to reap the consequences now, but I am afraid that I will not even have a funeral after I die. ”

Lin Dong said: "Don't think too badly about the problem, your son is related to you after all, blood is thicker than water, and the family relationship between flesh and blood is endless." ”

Zuo Yonggui shook his head, he knew better than anyone how sorry he was for his family what he had done, and he didn't dare to expect anything more.

"Brother, I really believe in karma now. In the past, I did too much evil to get to where I am today. Zuo Yonggui sighed, his words were full of pessimism, he would rather drink to death or be hit by a car than suffer like this. There are only two things he likes to do in the world, one is to drink, but to play with women, and now he can't do either of these things, so how can he not be in pain. It takes courage to accept death, after all, everyone has the desire to survive, and Zuo Yonggui has not yet had the courage to commit suicide.

"Let him pass the past, the past cannot be chased, and it is a pity for the comer. Boss Zuo, you should cherish the remaining time and do some remedy, whether it is effective or not, as long as you have a clear conscience, this is enough. Lin Dong couldn't help him with anything, he just did his duty as a friend and said what he should say.

Zuo Yonggui walked forward slowly, looking at the red glow in the western sky, and suddenly sighed, "Brother Lin, do you say that I am just like the sunset now, and I am about to sink?" ”

"It depends on your state of mind, and if you continue to be so pessimistic, then I can tell you for sure that you are in the twilight. If you cheer up, take this serious illness as an opportunity, as your rebirth, and wave goodbye to the arrogant and lascivious life of the past, then I think it is more appropriate to use the rising sun as a metaphor for you. ”

After listening to Lin Dong's words, Zuo Yonggui was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he let out a long breath, stopped his waist, seemed to have regained his previous heroism, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I decided to listen to you." People will eventually die, and instead of spending their days in anxiety, it is better to make yourself happier. ”

"If only you could think like that." Lin Dong smiled with relief.

Zuo Yonggui said: "I didn't expect you to be young, but your understanding of life is so profound, I, Zuo Yonggui, have really eaten for many years in vain than you." Brother, I rarely praise people in my life, and today I have to say, you are stronger than me, better than many awesome characters in Sioux City! ”

Lin Dong said: "The twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar this month is my wedding day, and soon I will have someone send the wedding card to your house. (To be continued.)
