Brighten the day
Memories are piling up until they become a city, and they besiege you......
On the old street of memory, the cold street lamp on the corner accompanied the two people on their last journey, the girl's eyes were holding back tears, while the boy was strong, holding her hand tightly, and walked to the end of the road......
"Kiri, Kiri?" A familiar voice shattered the dream, shooting the light of reality into Wu Tong's eyes.
Wang Yi stood upright beside Wu Tong's bed, blocking half of the sunlight, and Wu Tong's dream was broken by Wang Yi again. Wang Yi threw the apron directly on Wu Tong's face and explained: "Tong, today you are responsible for picking up Yu'er......"
Wu Tong obviously had just woken up, his nerves didn't react at all, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was about to reach out to catch Wang Yi's back, but unexpectedly, his body leaned forward and fell out of bed.

Saturday was leisure, Wu Tong was supposed to go to work, but the business of the coffee shop was sluggish, and Boss Mo deliberately gave Wu Tong a day off, but this holiday was not as comfortable as working in the store. Wu Tong got up from the side of the bed, and a touch of ice blue crashed into his eyes.
Wu Tong stretched out a finger and put it in the air, and the ice blue fell on Wu Tong's fingertips obediently, Wu Tong never thought that the butterfly he rescued yesterday actually stuck to himself, but fortunately, he slept in a good way last night, and he didn't press this fragile little life.
"Daddy Tong......" Wu Tong suddenly felt something poking his back, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Yu'er rubbing his eyes and calling Wu Tong's name, and Yu'er still got up early as always.
Compared with other children, her child does not have drowsiness, maybe the child has a vitality in his bones, but we, the so-called adults, feel more and more sleepy and sleepy.
Yu'er saw Wu Tong fall to the ground and thought he was joking, so she opened her arms and pounced on Wu Tong, laughing next to her fleshy mouth.
The ice-blue butterfly was startled by the two of them, flapping its wings and circling above their heads. Yu'er raised her head curiously and looked at the butterflies lining the ceiling, like a touch of swimming crystal blue jumping on the white paper.
"Daddy Tong, look, it's a little butterfly!" Yu'er stepped on Wu Tong's back and pointed excitedly at the blue butterfly.
Wu Tong picked up Yu'er and dragged one hand in his arms, and then Wu Tong quietly stretched out his fingers and put them in the air as usual, the weak life seemed to be born with Wu Tong's senses, and fell faintly on Wu Tong's fingertips. Yu'er stared at the butterfly with her eyes wide open, as if she was watching the beautiful patterns on its wings.
"Kiri...... Dad, it listens to you...... Ah......" Yu'er whispered in a soft voice.
"Because...... Daddy Kiri...... Saved this butterfly...... It's repaying the favor,......" Wu Tong also learned Yu'er's tone and whispered softly.
Yu'er Wu Tong was talking and laughing in the room, and suddenly heard a thunderous snoring outside the door. The two looked at each other and frowned.
"Kiritou, come out quickly!" Wang Yi shouted outside the door.
Wu Tong put down the rain, hooked his toes and came to the living room. I saw Chengkang's rare sleeping appearance in a hundred years - a chicken nest on his head, a pillow on his face, two thighs, one high and one low, on the back of the sofa and on the cushions, and there was still a greasy look of spring dreams on his face.
Yu'er poked her head out of the room and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Seeing this, Wu Tong and Wang Yi immediately blocked the door and coaxed Yu'er back to the room to play by themselves. After stabilizing the rain, the two suddenly turned around, picked up a few crooked cans of Tsingtao beer on the ground and threw them into the trash.
"Daddy Tong, what's that?" Yu'er poked her head out of the room again and pointed to the undisposed beer can next to Chengkang's feet.
Wu Tong suddenly said exaggeratedly: "Dynamite! Right! It's dynamite, bang! Wu Tong gestured with his teeth and claws, so frightened that Yu'er immediately covered his ears.
Under the cover of Wu Tong, Wang Yi hurriedly disposed of the remaining cans of beer.
The ice-blue butterfly slowly flew to the tip of Chengyasu's nose, and the thin foot and arm of the insect itched at the tip of his nose, and Chengyasu sneezed to startle the butterfly, and then tossed and fell asleep again.
"Yu'er, take out the ice cubes in the refrigerator!" With a wave of his hand, Yu'er opened the door at the bottom of the refrigerator and ran out with a few bags of ice.
Wu Tong and Wang Yi broke open Chengkang's armpit together and stuffed a bag of ice into it, and a chill pierced like a needle, waking Chengkang alive.
"I'll make it!" Cheng Kang was so shocked that he bounced his two thighs up, and hurriedly went to dig out his armpits, and soon Cheng Kang's arms flowed down the pool of ice water.
Cheng Kang crossed his lips, carrying the bag of ice, stared at a few people stupidly with swollen eyes, rubbed his hair and asked, "What time is it?" β
Wu Tong looked at the clock on the wall, "It's 7:00." β
Wang Yi suddenly patted his head, "Good girl, I'm going to be late!" β
Wang Yi suddenly rushed into the bathroom, dragged out Wu Shenao, who was washing, and quickly took care of his face in the bathroom, using all the messy skin care products.
"Kiritoro, take out my rented suit!" Wang Yi shouted in the bathroom.
Wu Tong quickly took out the suit he rented yesterday and prepared to be outside the door. Wu Shenao poked Wu Tong's shoulder with a blank look and asked, "What's wrong with Wang Yi?" Going on a blind date? β
"It's going to ...... interview," Wu Tong said solemnly in front of him.
"Kiri, hurry! Put it on me! Wang Yi rushed out of the bathroom and urged, and Wu Tong hurriedly put on a suit for him.
By the time Wang Yi put the suit on his body, he was not far from being late.
Wang Yi hooked up the black and shiny leather heels, straightened the tie on his chest, and was about to leave, when he was stopped by Wu Shenao.
Wang Yi skimmed his eyes and didn't know what he was going to say, Wu Shenao pondered for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Today I finally look like a person!" β
Wang Yi shook his head angrily, glanced at him and left in a hurry, but it was true, this was also the most serious Wang Yi Wu Tong had seen over the years, a Wang Yi who was fighting for his future.

Zhou Chengkang drank too much yesterday, and the convenience store business is probably another mess. However, it's okay if he doesn't take care of it, it's just that the whole community is just a convenience store like him, he is closed, those local aunts in Hangzhou are not crazy? Wu Tong thought about it carefully, picked up the key that Chengkang put on the bedside table, and hugged Yu'er to take care of the convenience store for him for free for a day.
Before going out, the Olympic bid put on a white makeup, it seems that he has a new stage play today, before leaving, Yu'er poked Wu Shenao's thick makeup with his fingers, Wu Tong asked curiously, "What are you playing?" β
"Peony Pavilion ......" Wu Shenao pretended to be meaningful.
Wu Tong looked at Wu Shenao's white little face, which was indeed somewhat similar to Liu Mengmei. Miserable and miserable......
Although Wu Tong doesn't like to watch plays, but during his college years, under the dreamy sky of wanton painting, several people were immersed in the summer night, the lights on the playground were obliquely hitting the lawn, the stage was simple, a few people drank all kinds of Ruiao in their hands, listened to Wu Shenao singing his little song, a song babbling, the girls who walked would always cover their mouths and look at the strange five people with surprised eyes, they didn't understand Wu Shenao's affection, and we didn't understand......
Before the Olympic bid left, he stuffed a program list into Wu Tong's arms, which meant that he hoped that he would come to cheer, but after graduation, several people seemed to rarely listen to the Olympic bid and sing the song "Tianxian Pei", let alone listen to him sing, it seems that he has been singing for so long, but the only people who listen to it are us.
Wu Tong stood in the elevator with Yu'er in his arms, the ice-blue butterfly obediently stopped on Wu Tong's shoulder, and in a trance, Wu Tong said unconsciously, "I don't know what to do...... Go deeper. Wu Tong doesn't know why he always likes this sentence when he reads it, so he has not forgotten it in his heart for so many years, and he can't help but read this sentence. Wu Tong has always understood that although Wu Shenao is a science and engineering man, he is an emotional person, just like the saying goes, "the drama is ...... autumn", and I don't know how many dramas have been staged in my heart by a "drama spirit" like him......
Yu'er and Wu Tong stopped at the door of the convenience store, and as the key was inserted into the roller shutter door to make a sound of customers, Wu Tong pulled up the roller shutter door, but it didn't take long for the guests to come.
"Xiao Huozi, why is it too late for Nongzi to open the door every day?" A middle-aged aunt poked her head and patted Wu Tong on the shoulder and asked.
"Auntie, I'm sorry!" Wu Tong smiled stupidly.
Auntie didn't care, shook her hand and said, "Oops! Count it! β
The aunt was really anxious, and broke into the dark convenience store. Wu Tong also hurriedly turned on the lights of the convenience store.
When the lights turned on, the convenience store suddenly crashed into a kind of impact whiteness, and the butterflies on Wu Tong's shoulders also flew into the store with the lights on.
Wu Tong hugged Yu'er and sat at the counter, and the comfort of life seemed to come immediately the moment Wu Tong sat down. In front of the counter, many customers walked in one after another, their faces Wu Tong looked very unfamiliar, it seemed that he had lived in this community for so long, and Wu Tong did not have few acquaintances.
"The lad settles the bill." Fang Cai's aunt carried two boxes of yogurt and a bag of soybean milk powder and smashed them on the checkout table.
Wu Tong picked up the code scanner, learned it in a good way, and swept the barcode at the back, Wu Tong said politely, "Auntie, a total of 157.8." β
The aunt took out her burgundy purse, and said while looking for money, "Young man, I remember that there was not a white-looking young man from Hangzhou who used to drive here!" How did it change to you? β
Wu Tong couldn't help laughing at the description of his aunt's image, "Yes, yes, he is off today, and I will look at the store for him for a day." β
"Oh~" Auntie handed two hundred to Wu Tong by the way, Wu Tong took it, picked up the two lollipops on the counter and handed them to Auntie and said, "Auntie, take two pieces of candy, count you 160." β
"It's so good, I'm just going to see the kids." The aunt took the lollipop in an easy-going manner.
"This little girl is so cute!" Before leaving, the aunt also touched the rain beside Wu Tong.
Wu Tong realized that the comfort of opening a convenience store lies in the interpersonal relationships you gain, which may be the charm of life.
It was a busy afternoon, and the convenience store finally ushered in a short break, and the sunlight outside the door gradually crept into the store, and the cicadas in the deep trees became more and more loud.
The back and forth crowd not only made Wu Tong tired, but even Yu'er was lying on the counter with her little mouth cocked and sullen.
"Is Yu'er hungry?" Wu Tong asked Yu'er lying on the counter.
Maybe this girl knew that Wu Tong was busy, so she shook her head sensibly. Wu Tong stuck next to Yu'er's ear, pointed to the column of the snack shelf and whispered, "Today, Chengkang's father is asleep, Yu'er goes to pick up a few things he likes to eat, it's okay, Tong's father is here." β
Yu'er's eyes suddenly flashed, and the ice blue butterfly above her head also startled.
"Really?"
"Really."
When the words fell, the rain fish went out calmly, and slipped into the sea of snacks, and the ice-blue butterfly also flew away slowly.

"Pula!" Another customer lifted the curtain of the convenience store, and a wave of hot air hit the storefront.
It was a girl about the same age as Wu Tong, she was wearing a white shirt with light blue denim shorts, and a shrugged backpack.
Instead of going to the convenience store, the girl picked up chewing gum on the shelf next to the counter, wearing a black cap with a low brim that obscured her fair face, and her slender fingers wandering on the shelf.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes...... It took six minutes for her to pick it up.
Wu Tong wondered, "Could it be that she is a Cancer?" Is it so hard to choose? β
"Little sister?" Wu Tong couldn't help but call.
She seemed to be waiting for Wu Tong to call him, she quickly raised her head, looked at Wu Tong with a blank look on her face, her mouth opened slightly, and her eyebrows raised slightly, "Ah?" β
Wu Tong pointed to the top layer on the far right of the shelf and said, "Yida's, that one is good!" Wu Tong also cooperated with Yida to laugh out of a powerful advertisement, pursing his lips and smiling slightly.
The girl reluctantly replied, "Oh...... Good ......"
The girl picked up the purple gum and placed it on the counter.
"2 pieces of 5," Wu Tong said.
The girl replied, "Oh, good! β
Wu Tong looked at the strange girl through the brim of her hat, and she seemed to realize that Wu Tong was looking at her, and smiled politely.
She took off her backpack and rummaged through her phone, and after a while, the girl was holding the phone and a crumpled piece of white paper, she suddenly raised her head and stammered, "Boss...... ...... in your store Are you looking for a clerk? β
Wu Tong was stunned for a while, after all, he was not taking care of the storefront, and he was not very clear about this kind of thing, but Wu Tong vaguely remembered that he had mentioned the matter of recruiting clerks to Chengkang.
Seeing that Wu Tong didn't react, the girl excitedly lifted the crumpled white paper, smoothed it and pressed it on the counter, and said, "Look, isn't it?" β
Wu Tong picked up the piece of paper and looked at it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to be easily sure that this was posted by Chengkang, because it was rare for this guy not to make a typo.
"This is what I tore off yesterday when I stuck it on the door." The girl said, raising the brim of her hat.
Wu Tong was really amused by this girl, and said, "Girl, this is a piece of paper that recruits people, why are you like revealing the emperor's list?" β
"I'm afraid that someone will rob me of my job! Tear up the competition is smaller. The girl said with a heartfelt voice.
Wu Tong thinks it makes sense, that is, the means are extreme. But when he looked at this girl carefully, she didn't look like a person who was short of money, so how could she think of coming to work?
"Daddy Kiri! You see! Yu'er suddenly ran out of the shelves, holding a pile of potato chips, and called Wu Tong excitedly.
Yu'er ran and fell, but she still couldn't hide her excitement.
"Who is this kid?" The girl seemed to care a lot about the origin of this child.
"Oh! Her name is Yu'er, my adopted child. Wu Tong touched Yu'er's head and said.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
"Little girl, is it okay for my sister to hug you?" This young lady seems to like Yu'er very much.
Yu'er glanced at Wu Tong, as if asking for Wu Tong's meaning. Wu Tong smiled and nodded, and Yu'er threw herself on the girl's thigh.
"Little sister, the owner of this shop today is drunk today, I can't call the shots, why don't you come back tomorrow and ask?" Wu Tong said.
The girl picked up Yu'er and nodded contentedly, "Okay." β
"That'...... Do you still want this chewing gum? Wu Tong asked.
The girl immediately scanned the code and paid the money, then took out a notebook from her bag, tore off a piece of paper, and left her contact information on it.
"My name is Chaolu, and this is my contact information." She politely handed the note over.
Wu Tong had an indescribable sense of familiarity when he heard this name, as if he had heard this name somewhere, but after thinking about it, he had no impression.
The girl hugged Yu'er, kissed her on the cheek, and then left with a smile on her face.
"Daddy Tong, who is that aunt?" Yu'er asked, pointing to the girl who was far away.
Wu Tong immediately covered Yu'er's mouth and corrected, "It's my sister, understand?" Perhaps this is the natural desire of men to survive.
Wu Tong looked at the girl's back in the scorching sun, slowly blending into the shade of the tree, and then blurred in the rolling heat waveβdisappeared.
Wu Tong was so sure of her familiarity, but it seemed that she had never been in Wu Tong's memory.
"Chengkang! Bottle of snowflakes! Before anyone heard it, Yu Wenhao's voice came from outside the convenience store.
"Huh? Wu Tong, why are you? What about double skin milk? "Stinky Fish Nahan said.
Wu Tong shook his head helplessly and said, "I was drunk yesterday." β
In fact, Wu Tong and Yu Wenhao have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, Cheng Kang is the little prince of the bar among the five, he has a lot of this kind of wind and moon land, and he often comes back drunk and drunk.
"Come on! He's not here today, I'll have the final say in this store! Drink! Wu Tong took two cans of beer and opened them.
Yu'er looked at them from below and asked, "What is this?" I'm going to drink it too! β
At this time, the two of them realized that Yu'er was also there, Yu Wenhao turned around gorgeously and drank it all, Wu Tong simply put the opened beer back in the freezer, took out a bottle of wahaha yogurt, frowned and sucked.
"Alipay has arrived - one million yuan!" Wu Tong's mobile phone rang again.
After Wu Tong picked it up, there was a voice on the phone, and after a few minutes of communication, Wu Tong put down the phone with an ugly face.
Yu Wenhao wiped his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Wang Yi has entered the police station!" Wu Tong said solemnly.
When Yu'er heard this, she immediately stopped eating the potato chips and asked, "What's wrong with Boss Wang?" Why did the police uncle arrest him? β
Wu Tong didn't have time to explain, so he patted Yu Wenhao on the shoulder and explained, "Take care of Yu'er, I'll go!" β
Yu'er suddenly became anxious, and took Wu Tong's hand aggrievedly and shouted, "Daddy Tong!" The rain is going too! β
Wu Tong squatted down and touched Yu'er's head and comforted, "Yu'er is waiting for Tong's father here, okay?" Daddy Tong must 'rescue' Boss Wang! β
Yu'er saw that Wu Tong didn't take herself, and suddenly burst the embankment. Wu Tong's heart is also made of meat, seeing Yu'er crying like this, he picked up his thumb to wipe the snot next to her nose, and even the butterfly fell on Yu'er's forehead, stroking her with her thin feet, as if comforting.
"Kiri...... Father...... Father...... Yu'er is going to find Boss Wang...... "Yu'er cries intermittently, which makes people really unbearable.
Wu Tong looked at Yu'er with extremely quiet eyes, he slowly squatted down, and scraped the bridge of Yu'er's nose with his fingers, "Yu'er, look at what this is?" β
Wu Tong took out a pink cat-shaped MP3 from his arms, Yu'er took the gadget in Wu Tong's hand with his small hand, Yu'er gradually eased his crying, Wu Tong smiled and put the small headphones into Yu'er's ears, and then said gently, "Dad Tong assures you that when Yu'er finishes listening to all the songs here, Dad Tong will bring Boss Wang back, okay?" Wu Tong stretched out her little thumb, Yu'er squeezed her MP3, pursed her little mouth, and pulled Wu Tong with her little thumb.
There are all kinds of music in this MP3, all of which are music downloaded by Wu Tong from junior high school to the present, and there are seven or eight hundred songs. These music are like Wu Tong's old friends, on the night when no one is around, on the empty last train, accompanying him to go away the haze and brighten the sky, and now Wu Tong gives them to Yu'er to accompany the child in the days to come......
Yu'er put on the headphones, and the first song was Wu Tong's favorite pure music "Summer Love", Yu'er actually smiled and stood on tiptoe after hearing this song, dancing rhythmically.
Wu Tong finally put her mind at ease, Yu'er waved at Wu Tong beside Yu Wenhao, she knew that Dad Tong would not lie to her, just like the emotions brought to you by these songs are so sincere and never end.
Wu Tong rode the little turtle king in Chengkang, as if he was carrying a mission to bring Wang Yi back, although it was only a promise to a child, but it became the knight's protection of the princess in the fairy tale.
Wu Tong rode the little turtle king on the road, the warm street lamps on both sides were pulled back one by one, the sparse light and shadow will be mottled on the face, Wu Tong raised his head and looked at the night of Hangzhou, he is familiar with the towering high-rise buildings here and the shuttle crowd, as well as the splendor of neon here, as if prosperity is destined to be accompanied by the loneliness of some people, to say why Wu Tong is not afraid of loneliness, perhaps, listening to music is Wu Tong's home remedy to resist loneliness for so many years, in every night when the rain tears down, in the early morning when the dog barks in the deep alley, On the earliest bus, accompanied Wu Tong to brighten the sky, Wu Tong pulled down the windshield on his helmet, the green light turned on, the traffic surged, and we walked on the road......
