Chapter 88: Urban Neon (4)
Chapter 88: Urban Neon (4)
It is still a familiar platform, looking at the bustling passengers dragging luggage in a hurry, Chen Rui is carrying a simple backpack and standing alone where he picked up Da D and Lingzi, for a moment, Chen Rui, who is alone, looks a little small in the turbulent flow of people.
Big D went to the ticket window to buy a ticket and asked Chen Rui to wait in place.
"Daughter, be independent in college and make some messy fox friends and dog friends!"
"Got it, Mom, Dad, I'm not a kid anymore! What is a fox friend and a dog friend, you don't understand! ”
"Boy, don't worry about surfing the Internet all day long when you go to college, participate in more club activities, socialize more, and don't be an otaku all day long."
"Well, Dad, why don't you and your mother go back first, I'll take the train directly to the terminal station alone, get off the train and take a taxi to go to school, you don't have to accompany you!"
"That's okay! It's the first time you've gone far away, and I'm going to send you to the school gate anyway! ”
At this time, it was the peak period of the start of the university, and many parents were waiting in front of the platform with large bags and small bags on their shoulders, and they were too annoying to ask their children who were about to enter the university campus.
Looking at and listening to the lives of these travelers who are about to set off, Chen Rui's heart is full of complicated meanings.
In another scene in the back of his mind, Xiaowei and his mother should have sent him to the platform, his mother arranged his collar for him, his sister carefully checked his luggage, and he embarked on the future journey with the care of his relatives like a soldier about to go on an expedition.
However, these are just Chen Rui's imagination! There is always a gap between reality and ideals.
"What are you thinking?" Big D pushed Chen Rui with his elbow, holding two tickets in his mouth, and he was vague with his luggage in his hand.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and said, "I didn't think about anything, did you buy the ticket?" ”
"Well, there are a lot of fucking people, it's all a student party going to college, let's go! Don't miss the train! Big D handed over Chen Rui's ID card and the ticket that belonged to him, and the two of them got on the bus with difficulty in the crowd one after the other.
The carriage was shrouded in instant noodles, melon seeds, various snacks, and the strange smell of foot odor and body odor, Chen Rui leaned against the window, and what he saw in his eyes was a flash of various scenery through the woods or wilderness, and most of the passengers sitting around were college freshmen who were excited, hesitant, calm and other mixed feelings.
"Do you regret it?" Big D brought two servings of Master Kong's instant noodles, gave the braised flavor to Chen Rui, left the sauerkraut flavored one, and took a big gulp of half-cooked instant noodles, Big D asked.
"Is it useful to regret it? It's your choice! Chen Rui asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't seem to work!" Big D smiled slightly and said, "I had similar feelings when I dropped out of school, but as time went by, I felt that it was nothing. Whether I went to college or not, at least I'm living well now, and this kind of life is not rich, but having a beloved woman who has always been willing to be by your side despite difficulties is actually quite happy to think about, isn't it? ”
Chen Rui nodded, and like Big D, he ate instant noodles in a big gulp, making a loud noise.
Eight hours later, the two got off at the HB City Railway Station and returned to the familiar city, but Chen Rui did not feel the familiar taste, even though he grew up in HB in the past, but after leaving for so long, the once familiar HB City looked so strange at this time.
When the two of them got on the train station taxi, it was already half past seven in the evening, and the colorful neon lights shining outside the car window, the busy streets and the buzzing people's voices formed a night of bizarre and extravagant taste in an international metropolis.
Walking through the city's busiest neighborhoods, the scenery outside the car window has changed significantly, with high-rise buildings and traffic jams replaced by low, old bungalows, and cheap and practical cars and minivans such as BYD and Jinbei on both sides of the road.
In the end, the taxi stopped in front of a six-story building, and Big D's move of taking out his luggage from the trunk had already told Chen Rui that the destination of the trip had arrived.
In front of the six-story building, there is a small courtyard, and traces of lime of different shapes can be seen on the mottled walls, and the rusty iron door was kicked open by Big D.
"Hey, boy, you give the old lady a light, the door is a little broken, but it is also bought for money!" Not far away, a middle-aged aunt with a cigarette in her mouth was playing mahjong with her little friends and three other sturdy aunts at the door, shouting in a sharp and piercing voice after catching a glimpse of Big D's rough behavior.
"OK, landlord, I will be more gentle with it in the future than with my daughter-in-law!" Big D nodded flatteringly.
"The conditions here are like this, just get used to it!" The air is filled with a faint smell of garbage rancidity, the sewer manhole cover not far away is missing, a stench is wafting out, the big D kicked open the iron door at the same time, but also let the yard several electric vehicles crowded together to charge the alarm sound of "Didi", listen carefully, you can also hear the music from nowhere, it is actually the "most dazzling national style" dance music, it is estimated that a group of aunts are dancing square dance.
Big D looked around at the environment where he lived, apologized, and then said: "This is an urban village, the rent is cheap, although it is a little dirty, but the advantage is that there are many small restaurants to eat nearby, the consumption level is low, and the travel is concerned." Well, I live on the third floor and I can see the campus of HB University, and there are a lot of college couples living here, you know. ”
Seeing that Big D raised his eyebrows, Chen Rui smiled slightly: "It's good here." ”
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow fell from the air, impartially and impartially landed on the top of Big D's head, Big D touched it casually, then raised his head to look at the roof of the building, and said angrily: "Whose red pants!" Don't you know that you can't just litter downstairs? ”
"Ouch, it's Little D, I'm sorry, I'm just collecting my clothes, and I accidentally didn't take my underwear, can you help me send them up?" The one who spoke was a woman wearing cheap heavy makeup, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with long wavy curly hair, a white loose T-shirt on her upper body, and red underwear faintly visible.
She was actually wearing an ultra-short denim skirt, and at the angle of Chen Rui and Da D, she could almost see the black lace panties under the skirt clearly.
While speaking, the woman did not forget to throw a few winks at Big D, and even deliberately spread her legs.
"Sister Hong, you are careless again! Fuck, I've been here for eight months, and at least twenty times your panties have landed on top of my head. You're more than enough to go to the Olympics! I'll wipe it, you haven't washed your panties yet! Big D's face changed, and he threw the little red panties on the side of the flower bed in disgust.
"Little D, you can help me get it! Don't throw it downstairs! Seeing this, the woman said coquettishly.
"That's my little D, don't be flirtatious! Hey, my little D, come up and play, don't charge money, I'm curious if your name and yourself are worthy of the name. The other woman also walked down the hallway, acting more debauched and speaking more explicit than the one who had just hit Big D in the head with her panties.
Big D sneered and explained to Chen Rui, who was a little stunned: "The one in front is Sister Hong, and the one in the back is Sister Ping, they are all runaway women who live upstairs in me, and they work in the Feifei hair salon at the corner of the street. I can't save these stumblers with heavy tastes. ”
"Looks like you're quite attractive!" Chen Rui couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, when the taxi turned into this somewhat dirty street, Chen Rui had already noticed the red-light hair salon at the corner of the street, and there were two or three other hair salons in this short street. In this kind of urban-rural junction, such cheap entertainment venues abound, and Chen Rui has long been surprised.
"Little D, come up and have fun, that little girlfriend of your family hasn't come back for a few days, aren't you hungry? Come on, we'll help you! Sister Hong, who had lost her footing, giggled and laughed, as if flirting with Big D like this is a must-do every day.
"You two are going to suck somewhere else! Didn't you see my grandson watching TV? The landlord's charter wife finally couldn't stand it anymore, and she could make a roar that hurt her ears with a cigarette in her mouth.
The two stumblers immediately died down, took a sip and went back to their rooms to put on makeup, because their work time was approaching.
Big D, who lives on the third floor, pushed open the creaky wooden door and said, "Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water." ”
When the lights came on, Chen Rui subconsciously looked at Da D's residence, which was a small two-room apartment of more than 50 square meters, a bedroom, the living room was very small, only a dining table could be placed, plus refrigerators and other sundries, and the space was even smaller and pitiful.
The bathroom near the door is even smaller, and with the size of a large D, it is estimated that it is difficult for a person to turn around inside.
"Damn, there's no water, what's the matter with Reiko, don't you usually prepare a few bottles of mineral water in the refrigerator?" Big D muttered, shouted twice and didn't find Reiko's response, and said helplessly: "It is estimated that Reiko has been working overtime these days." ”
"Don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." Chen Rui helped Big D move his luggage into the bedroom.
"I'm sorry, I didn't clean it up." Big D was a little embarrassed to stuff the underwear that was obviously Reiko on the bedside and didn't clean up in time into the simple cloth wardrobe, and put the instant noodle bucket that he had put on the table when he left the house in a hurry that day and didn't throw it away into the trash, then clapped his hands and explained.
Chen Rui frowned, there was already a rancid smell coming from the instant noodle bucket, it seemed that Reiko had indeed not been home for several days. However, seeing the appearance of Big D seemed to be accustomed, Chen Rui didn't ask much, and sat directly in front of the only computer desk with a modern atmosphere in the bedroom.
Big D may not even turn off the computer when he left home, Chen Rui inadvertently touched the mouse, the computer screen immediately lit up, and the hanging QQ avatar kept flashing, Chen Rui opened it casually and saw that it was a message sent by several friends who remarked the XX boosting studio.
"Big D, this" Chen Rui said with mixed feelings.
Big D casually glanced at the chat box, and it was full of extremely ugly words, most of which said that Big D did not finish the order in time, causing the studio to be complained by customers, and threatened to lose money.
"It's okay, it's just a little money, where is it more important than a brother, you can earn it back in a few days! Don't you feel guilty, are you a brother? Big D said.
"Yes!" Chen Rui nodded heavily.
"Then don't talk nonsense!" Big D said decisively: "I'll take you to find a job tomorrow, I'll sort out the boosting list for the past few days, you can help me make a few orders when you have time, you take the part you should take the money, don't worry about anything else, it's all wrapped up in me." ”
PS: The second one should be around one o'clock in the morning, and the construction is not waiting.
