Zhang Chuang put down the wine bottle in his hand, lit another cigarette, and said to me in silence for a long time: "I was a soldier for a few years, and then I was injured and retired...... took a state pension, used the money to start a small business, and finally lost it all, and emptied a debt...... The wife also remarried with her two-year-old son...... I don't have anything to worry about right now, and I'm going to walk around. He took a puff on his cigarette.

I didn't comfort Zhang Chuang meaninglessly, but just asked, "What kind of business are you doing?" ”

"I opened a restaurant in my hometown."

"It's not going to be that bad, is it?"

Zhang Chuang's expression became sad, and he didn't respond to my question, I knew that there must be a secret past that he didn't want to mention again.

I didn't ask any further, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Look up.......

"Drink." Zhang Chuang smiled bitterly.

I nodded and touched him, and then fell into a silent silence, so in the cold night, the two unhappy men repeated smoking, drinking, and silence........

"Where is the next stop?" I asked Zhang Chuang.

"To the south."

"How did you solve your economic problems along the way?" I asked with some confusion, even if it is a poor trip, but it still costs money.

"When I don't have money, I work as a handyman." Zhang Chuang replied.

"Wouldn't that be a long time in one city?"

"The longest stay is 2 months."

"Two months? Then you should have been out for a long time, right? I asked, a little surprised.

Zhang Chuang took another puff of cigarette before replying, "491 days." ”

I sighed, he was really not a backpacker after being out for so long, he was a real vagabond, and I saw in him a kind of homeless desolation.

.......

After being silent for a long time, I said: "Stay in Jinan, don't go anywhere, I'll arrange a proper job for you." ”

Zhang Chuang looked at me a little surprised and said, "I don't have any work skills, I can only do manual work." ”

"It's okay, if you don't want to wander like this anymore." I looked at him, nodded, and said.

Zhang Chuang's expression, which had been calm, finally changed, and he said to me for a long time: "That's tired." ”

I smiled and said, "Let's go, go home with me tonight, don't live in a tent, there is heating to take a hot shower!" ”

.......

I took Zhang Chuang to the house where I lived with Anqi, I planned to live in Anqi's room, give him my room temporarily, and rent a house for him to live in tomorrow, which happened to be used as a company dormitory, and arranged for some foreign employees to move in in the future.

Zhang Chuang looked at the extremely warm room decorated by Anqi with some fascination, this tough guy actually had moist eyes, maybe he was envious, envious that I had such a well-decorated home.

After I arranged for Zhang Chuang to check in, I lay down on Angel's bed, her bed was very comfortable, and there was still her lingering fragrance, I picked up a strand of hair from the pillow and looked at it intently, although Angel was not by my side at this time, I still felt that we were together, because every object in this room had Angel's breath, which was a very subtle feeling.

I felt grounded, and after a few moments, I fell asleep holding Angel's hair.

.......

The next day, I got up at eight o'clock and walked around the living room in my pajamas, thinking that Zhang Chuang was still resting, so I sat on the sofa in the living room and closed my eyes to recuperate.

In fact, I don't know why I want to save this soldier I met in the middle of the night, maybe because he is homeless, maybe I regard this chance encounter as a rare fate, in short, I hope that within my ability, let this wandering soldier live another life.

I was in a daze, I heard the sound of the door opening, opened my eyes and found Zhang Chuang sweating profusely appeared in front of me, this winter actually wore only a black elastic vest, the muscles were strong as if they were about to crack, I asked, "Went running?" ”

"A habit I developed when I was a soldier." Zhang Chuang said with a smile, and took out a towel from his bag to wipe the sweat on his body.

"You rest for a while, go to have breakfast together, I'll arrange a job for you, and then find you a place to live."

"Medium." Zhang Chuang still replied silently.

.......

I drove to the city with Zhang Chuang, and on the way, I called Guan Ying again and asked her to have breakfast with her, and by the way, I exchanged things about work.

Soon Zhang Chuang and I came to the "Porridge Ding Ji" that I had made an appointment with Guan Ying in advance, and it happened that Guan Ying also arrived by car at the same time, so I simply waited for her to go in together, reflecting my "humanistic care" for the staff

Guan Ying came to me and Zhang Chuang, looked at Zhang Chuang, there was some contempt in his eyes, indeed, Zhang Chuang in shabby overalls and Givenchy's latest coat are very different, she is not a class of people at all, to her top elite in society, there will be some unapproachable stinky problems, but Zhang Chuang doesn't care, a man with experience will not care too much about this kind of subsection.

The three of them found a place to sit in the porridge shop, Zhang Chuang and I were on the side, Guan Ying was on the side, and I introduced Zhang Chuang to Guan Ying: "This is my new friend I met yesterday, Zhang Chuang." ”

Guan Ying didn't say anything, and she was arrogant.

I was a little embarrassed, and deliberately hurt Guan Ying and said to Zhang Chuang: "This is Miss Guan Ying, who couldn't get along in the original company yesterday and fell to me. ”

"Hello." Zhang Chuang didn't take my deliberate belittling of Guan Ying to heart at all, and kept greeting her normally.

Guan Ying didn't pay attention to Zhang Chuang, and said to me angrily: "Zhang Yixi, can you not speak so immorally?" ”

I seemed to smile and said, "Am I lacking virtue?" Let's be honest! ”

Guan Ying gritted her teeth and looked at me, angry enough, but she didn't continue to fight with me, and this is also a wise move, after so many years of getting along, she has never been able to take advantage of me in words.

.......

After a while, the waiter brought the breakfast we ordered, Zhang Chuang may have eaten quickly because of being a soldier, and the chewing sound was very loud, Guan Ying was unhappy again, and knocked on the table with chopsticks and said to Zhang Chuang unhappily: "Eat quietly." ”

Zhang Chuang raised his head and was a little surprised, but he didn't bother with Guan Ying, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry." "After saying that, I really slowed down the pace of eating.

I said to Guan Ying unhappily: "It's just a meal, you have too much to manage, right?" ”

Guan Ying glared at me and said, "Shut up and eat your own food!" ”

I was speechless, this woman didn't make a mistake for a day, and she felt that it wasn't life.......

.......

In the past, I said to Guan Ying: "You have officially joined our team now, in order to reflect our emphasis on talents, I decided to rent staff dormitories in the name of the company, and you will not stay in hotels in the future." After speaking, he said to Zhang Chuang: "In the future, you will also live in the staff dormitory, and you will usually be responsible for the security guards of several stores, right?" ”

Before Zhang Chuang could answer, Guan Ying immediately disagreed, and she said to me angrily: "You mean to let me live with him?" ”

"Yes, since it's a staff dormitory, of course we live together."

"Zhang Yixi, I'm here to fulfill my promise, not for you to be mine, it's impossible for me to live with these people of all religions and nine streams." Guan Ying suddenly stood up and pointed at me.

I didn't move, in fact, I didn't want to arrange for Guan Ying to really live in the staff dormitory, but I was not satisfied with what she did today, so I did it deliberately.

I looked at Guan Ying with a "how much love" expression, and she put down her hand pointing at me heavily, and said, "I will continue to live in a hotel, or you can arrange an independent apartment for me." ”

"Let's talk about it when you create value, you know that for people who have failed cases, I always have to re-evaluate her value, we are a small company, it's right to be cautious!"

Guan Ying was angry, didn't talk nonsense with me anymore, and walked outside with her bag.

Zhang Chuang asked me with some concern: "Is it a bit too much, after all, it's a woman." ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm too familiar with her, it's not a bad thing to stimulate and stimulate her, with her character, I don't know how many men have been ruined, or I can't get married now!" ”

.......

Zhang Chuang and I immediately left the porridge shop, Guan Ying walked in front of us, and suddenly heard Zhang Chuang shouting: "Be careful......

A frightening scene appeared, a huge ice pick hanging on the eaves fell from the sky, and it was about to fall on Guan Ying's head!!

Zhang Chuang jumped to Guan Ying's side with an arrow step, raised his arm to protect Guan Ying's head, and the icicle that fell with great gravity smashed on Zhang Chuang's arm and shattered, Guan Ying screamed in shock, and Zhang Chuang's face immediately showed a painful expression.
