Chapter 55: Living So Down
Jiang Laiyue seemed to be very tired, this sleep was very stable and long, until the evening did not wake up, after waking up quietly walked to the kitchen to look at me, leaning against the wall, the whole person was listless, it seemed that he had not fully woken up.
I didn't care about wiping my sweat, after putting the last yam pork ribs out of the pot and putting them on the plate, I was not idle, and I was busy putting the food on the table, and after preparing dinner, I said to her: "Go wash up and come over to eat, there are mosquitoes in the evening, I boiled porridge." ”
Jiang Laiyue didn't seem to have the desire to speak, staggered to the bathroom, washed up after a while, and sat down in front of me.
Looking at a few delicate side dishes, Jiang Laiyue politely said "thank you" to me, and then sat opposite me, and the two of them ate dinner like this, Jiang Laiyue, who was still drinking at noon, suddenly quieted, I was suddenly very unaccustomed, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was always a little depressed and silent.
Jiang Laiyue seemed to enjoy this silence very much, but I was tormented in depression, because the contrast was too great, in order to break the peace, I said to her very politely: "You taste this ribs, the stew is very crispy, it will be broken in the mouth, and you won't gain weight if you eat more." ”
Jiang Laiyue looked at me suspiciously, then opened the yam with chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of pork ribs, and took a tentative bite, and then his expression froze.
My heart was full of joy, full of anticipation waiting for Jiang Laiyue's next compliment, but she nodded with a flat face, indicating that it was good, and then finally asked: "The weather is too hot, do you have a drink or a cold beer?" ”
"It seems that there are still a few bottles left in the house, but they are not ice."
"It doesn't matter if it's not ice, just refresh yourself, otherwise I can't keep up my spirits."
I suspiciously took out the beer from the house, and found the corkscrew, Jiang Laiyue opened all three bottles, but he was not in a hurry to drink them.
"Are you going to ask me to find you another cup?"
She nodded, staring at me.
"Hey, can you stop selling cute, pretend to be elegant, and blow at the bottle."
"You have to pay attention to it, and go and bring me the cup."
Jiang Laiyue naturally seems to love to command others, and she really competes with me because of this little thing, as if she doesn't eat or drink if I don't take a cup.
Thinking that I had already put so much effort into making this meal, it would not be worth it to make any more trouble over a trivial matter, so I obeyed her, but got up impatiently and went to the kitchen to wash two cups, and wiped them one for each person.
Jiang Laiyue politely poured me a glass first, filled it for herself, and then smiled very contentedly: "This is like a homely meal, there is wine and food, and all the attachments can be put down in front of your meal." ”
This inexplicable chicken soup emotion reminds me of Li Shi, also as a woman, how much can she let go?
But I'm the same, I can see other people's obsessions, how much can I let go?
Although I was very reluctant to give up the hostel, most of the time, I could only watch the anxiety, and it seemed that there was no change in the end, so my life was just powerless with the ups and downs of the uneasiness in front of me, and God knows when the word "stability" would come to my life.
After raising my glass for a while, I drank the beer in the cup in one gulp, smiled helplessly, and refilled myself with a full glass, in the inflated bubble, I seemed to see through the vanity of life again, longing for a stable life.
"Do you drink three beers for two minutes?"
I hiccuped, got up, and said, "Then I'll go and carry another box back." ”
"Forget it, I'm already appetizing, and it's not safe to drink too much."
After sitting down, I stopped drinking beer, filled myself a bowl of porridge, and began to eat honestly, during the meal, Jiang Laiyue was still surprisingly quiet, this scene made me settle down in a period of doubt, thinking that maybe the unreasonable trouble at noon today may not be her original face, but it is really as she herself said, here is purely to block me.
……
After eating, the night has not yet come, Jiang Laiyue, who is full of wine and food, seems to be in the mood, takes out a pair of slippers from the car and puts them on for herself, and then really walks around like a vacation, and then like me last night, she actually visited the neighbors door to door, because she was holding a branch in her hand when she visited the door, those arrogant dogs couldn't do anything about her, it seems that she really summed up her experience!
In the aimless wandering, she suddenly became interested in the chickens and ducks in the circle, asked me for some food, and fed them patiently.
After washing the dishes, Jiang Laiyue and I wandered along the country road, although the sun had set, she still wore those huge sunglasses, playing with her style on this hot evening.
From the city back to the countryside, along the way I feel that I am far away from the city, has become strange, I feel that I have experienced from noisy to clean washing, so that I have an unprecedented ease, although I work in the scenic spot, but I have to say that there are artificially carved, its charm is always in imitation of natural beauty, and the countryside is different, delicate, simple, all natural nature.
After walking tired, we sat on a stone bridge, and then looked at the flowing water in the sunset, both of them fell into a state of distraction, I don't know what Jiang Laiyue was thinking, but my distraction has nothing to do with the scenery at this time, more in the helplessness of escaping reality.
Jiang Laiyue took out the chewing gum from her small satchel, took two slices for me, and then chewed the gum herself, I looked at her suspiciously, how can the more I look at this scene, the more I feel that I am filming?
Even if I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to tell this kind of frivolous joke after all, I had very little contact with Jiang Laiyue, and I didn't know what she was thinking, let alone what she was here for.
When the whistling wind passed by, my ears seemed to sound the music called "Spring Breeze Ten Miles", and then I seemed to feel the mood written in the lyrics, this evening seemed to rub all the beautiful scenery into this dusk, I finally closed my tired and dry eyes, wished that someone would sing this song for me, and then sleep peacefully.
Suddenly, my back was slapped heavily, and when I opened my eyes, Jiang Laiyue had already taken off her sunglasses, looked at me with a displeased face and said, "Such a beautiful view, you are still asleep." ”
My brain was congested and I was speechless, "I didn't sleep." ”
"I see you're closing your eyes."
I was a little speechless, how tired it must be to live with such a startled woman, and the picture I finally conceived was shattered by her slap!
"Hey, do you think this desert in front of you can bloom?"
"The mountains and fields here are all very green, where does the desert come from."
She seemed to be touched by my words, and looked at the flowing river a little distractedly, and did not speak for a long time, and I suddenly remembered something, pushed her and asked, "Are you not afraid of delaying business here?" ”
Jiang Laiyue ignored my interference, and persistently pointed to the river in front of him and asked, "Isn't that it?" ”
"Do you really think that a river is a river, is it possible that I have to go along with you against my will and follow you to refer to the deer as a horse?"
"Don't you think the dusk light stains this river a golden desert? You see, that glittering place......"
"I didn't see it here, but the scenery is intoxicating!"
"If you talk more, I'll let you scrap."
"I didn't see the scrap either......"
My words seemed to shatter Jiang Laiyue's illusions, so that she was silent for a long time, but I was a little surprised, she didn't seem to be such a character in my memory, the more approachable she was, the more scared I was, I was scared enough that she suddenly appeared in front of the door, but I didn't expect that she would still sit with me and talk about artistic conception now, this is incredible......
"Say, what the hell do you think, you're so busy bringing the documents here to read them, could it be that it's done to entertain me?"
Jiang Laiyue suddenly looked at me murderously and said, "Die, don't sit next to me, it's really a bad scenery." ”
I subconsciously jumped up and avoided it, in case I really offended this taekwondo black belt, then I would probably be beaten up by a fat meal.
I thought that this matter would end with me backing down, but I didn't expect Jiang Laiyue to stand up, put on slippers, and reached out to pinch my arm, I collapsed in pain, and tried to push her away with my hand, but she didn't move, and grabbed my arm, I scolded: "You girl, you are simply amazing, the man is not silent when he sees you, but tears, right?" ”
Jiang Laiyue didn't respond to me at all, still holding my arm, I usually don't exercise a lot, but I can't break free from her skill, before I can admit it in pain, she said angrily: "Say, have you seen the flowers in the desert?" ”
"As soon as I saw it, okay, if you don't let go of my arm, it will be scrapped."
Jiang Laiyue also seemed to have lost interest, let go of his hand and said, "What difference does it make if a person like you is scrapped or not." ”
I rubbed my sore arm and said angrily: "How can a mob like you appear in a harmonious society!" ”
Jiang Laiyue was silent, but I couldn't tell whether she had reduced her anger a little, or whether she continued to be challenged by my words, so the scene of only two people became more apprehensive and embarrassing.
Originally, I thought that I could just finish this period of time peacefully, but Jiang Laiyue broke my peace very uninterestingly, and said in a mocking tone: "I heard that you were expelled from the hostel by Gou Yongqiang? ”
"That's what you're here for?"
"Yes, it's not, it's mainly to see how depressed you are."
"People like me who are poor because they don't work hard, you also see it"
She came back to her senses, and no longer had the joking tone she had before, and said with a serious face: "There are many people in life who are trying to live, and it is not comprehensive and objective to say that they are poor because they don't work hard. The sanitation workers who get up early and stay up late every day, the rural teachers who teach day after day, and those who struggle at the bottom are trying their best to live, but because they can't master the resources and have no channels, living is the hardest thing. There are many people who are struggling with poverty, disease, war, and hunger, but they still try to live, and can you say that they live poor because they don't work hard? ”
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say where is your mentality of looking at mountains as mountains and water as water? Do you know that it is your obsession, your obsession with the Youth Hostel, and Gou Yongqiang that led to today's situation. ”
I don't know what the purpose of Jiang Laiyue's words to change his previous attitude came from, but he still sighed sincerely: "You are really suitable to be a leader, and you have done a good job in ideological work, but you naturally don't need to say this, I understand it better than anyone else." ”
"Then can you pat your chest and get rid of all this?"
Jiang Laiyue's question made me feel inexplicably depressed, not to mention anything else, from an emotional point of view, I don't want to be tied up by the villain Lao Gou because of the hostel, if I can't completely get rid of the relationship, we may face more unexpected problems in the future.
I wanted to say yes, but in the end, I shook my head calmly and said, "No." ”
