She sat down at the back of the bar, took out the CD, put it back on, and pressed play. A baby-faced waiter next to her asked her curiously, "Sister Qing, I've never listened to this album before." ”

She smiled silently, and at this time, several flower girls walked in arm in arm, and the wind chimes touched by the glass door made a crisp sound, and the waiter immediately said "welcome" with a smile on his face, and then led the girls to an empty spot not far away. She continued to listen to the song quietly.

The album, which had never been shown in the store, was the courier she received this morning, and the person who sent it was a regular customer a year ago, a girl with long hair and bright eyes in a shawl, and her name was Xiao Ke. She didn't expect that after such a long time, after Xiao Ke left the city, they would still be able to keep in touch in this way.

She turned her gaze to a photo wall with a postcard sent from Tibet on Christmas Eve last year, showing the backs of worshipping Tibetans, and the thousand-year-old Potala Palace standing under the indigo sky in the distance. Turning the postcard over, there are a few lines of beautiful small words written on the back: "Qinghe, travel began to make me believe in the distance, you are right, there is no problem that time cannot solve." ”

It was approaching evening, and a black cloud was covering the ground, signaling an impending blizzard. She had been busy all day, holding greetings from afar, and smiling with relief.

"Qinghe, Xiao Ke told me to find us a brother-in-law quickly!" Lu Wanting, who was wearing a gray knitted hat, walked in at some point, and shouted at her unscrupulously before her feet could stand firmly.

A little snowflakes have begun to float outside the door, and the snowflakes are pure white like Weihe's favorite aloc color.

In the blink of an eye, the plane tree in front of the door has green branches and leaves, and in the busy day, the leaves are gradually lush, and she realizes that summer is coming, but the past is still vivid.

Xiao Ke's heart disease was cured, and hers. For many days and nights, she still couldn't help but miss Weihe, and her sadness was incomprehensible, and insomnia followed. Last night she waited for dawn with her eyes open, and began to get up and wash before the first rays of dawn hit the window.

She ran along the deserted streets of the early morning to a hill on the outskirts of the city. At this moment, only running could stop her sea from thinking, the blood was pouring into her limbs, and the breeze that had not yet been exposed to the sun seemed to penetrate her body, knocking her out of her body, and she felt her own soul looking down on her body.

She ran madly to the top of the hill, a cut on the back of her hand cut by a low bush, and a few drops of blood poured out. She is like a pitiful down-and-out princess, hunted down by overwhelming sadness.

"How are you?" She stood at the top of the mountain, clasped her hands to her lips, and shouted into the distance. The sun slowly rises over a field of skyscrapers and hangs over the city, waking up the sleeping people on time.

"How are you?" He shouted again, choking on tears from the wind at the top of the mountain, and his hair was messy all over his face. Her voice was hoarse, and she gradually crouched down with her shoulders in her arms, her head pressed against her knees, buried deep in her arms, unable to speak again.

When I got home, I was already more than an hour late than my usual start time. However, the waitress in the store has a spare key, so she no longer has to get up early and stay late every day like before, arriving at the store early and leaving at the latest.

After she returned to the community, the security guard at the gate of the community stopped her, ran back to the security room while gesturing, and handed her a courier package, she smiled gratefully at the security guard, regardless of whether the weather was hot or not, the security guard would button the light blue uniform to the top one, and would greet everyone in a friendly manner when meeting the residents of the community, so she had a special impression of him.

After four years of operation in her bubble tea shop, she had some savings in her hands, so she bought a one-bedroom house here.

The first day he moved here, he didn't know that the security guard was actually deaf and mute, but he didn't lose his hearing completely, but had some backs in his ears. That day, she got out of the taxi with large and small luggage, and after a few steps, the photo of Wei He, which was wrapped in flannel, fell from her arms, and the security guard immediately ran over to help him pick it up, she said no, but the security guard didn't seem to hear it.

She wanted to snatch it from him several times, saying "I'll take it myself", but the security guard stopped her hand while making a strange noise, she thought that the other party was deliberate, a young man in his twenties, it is not impossible to like to tease people. Suddenly, her high heels got stuck in the crack of the sewer, and she fell to the ground without standing still.

So, she sat on the ground angrily and quarreled with the security guard, but the other party had a demented expression on his face, kept scratching the back of his head with his hand, and didn't know how to help her up. When an aunt passed by them, she reluctantly persuaded her that the security guard was a deaf and mute person, and that she should not be like him.

It dawned on her and immediately changed her attitude towards him.

He looked to be in his mid-twenties, and she had heard that he was related to the developer of the community, so he was able to get a quiet job as a security guard, which he did for several years. As a disabled person, it was already very difficult to find a job, so when he first took up his job, many residents were dissatisfied with him, and later it was his old father who begged the residents to make trouble so that they did not make a big fuss.

On a few occasions when she walked around the neighborhood, she would hear women who liked to talk about the shortcomings of their families discussing the annual salary of the security guard, he had no girlfriend, and he had an older brother who was at work, and he believed that his father's support fell on his brother, and he himself seemed to be very economical, and he was rarely seen wearing anything other than two uniforms a year.

They called him a little mute, and the tone was condescending. Some people say that after working for so many years, it is not a problem to buy a cheap small apartment, and everyone immediately blushes when they hear it.

There is a well-known ancient poem "This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other", people are always hostile to people who are better than themselves and worse than themselves, this truth she does not understand from time to time, she has gone through that period of resentment, so when she encounters this kind of thing, she avoids it, but is more friendly to the security guards, and the new drinks in the store will be brought back to him.

When she got home, she took a hot shower before she started to open the package. Inside was an album and a letter, the letter was very short and wrote some inconsequential words, but the person who made the payment surprised her, she didn't expect it to be Xiao Ke.

She remembered Lu Wanting, who used to accompany her often, she watched her go from high school to college, and then from college to society, and now she should be busy entering the workplace. Standing by the window, Qinghe couldn't help but sigh that the white horse passed through the gap, and he was rapidly approaching the age of forty.

But because she has a weak heart, is a vegetarian, and pays attention to exercise on weekdays, although she is nearly forty, she still looks like she is in her early thirties, with a unique charm.

She cleaned up her mood, wiped the photo of Wei He on the bedside table before going out, and turned back just down the stairs to pick up the album.

Business was a bit bleak this morning, and a few girls were chatting in their seats not far away, like a flock of happy little sparrows. She leaned her head on her erected arms and watched them, envious of their youth.

"Two cups of taro milk tea, with red beans."

She turned her head abruptly and saw Lu Wanting looking at her with a smile: "I'll take a cup of you, I'll invite you." ”

"Tingting, why are you here?" She hurriedly walked out from behind the bar, took her hand and asked kindly.

"I suddenly remembered that you were coming, so I took a taxi over to have a look." She stood there and looked around, "You changed the wallpaper." ”

She beckoned the waiter to prepare milk tea and asked for some nuts: "It's rare for you to come back, my sister invites you." Then the two of them sat down in an empty place, and they were very excited to see each other again, as if there were endless words in their chests, and they did not know how to speak.

Lu Wanting was the first to ask about her recent business, Qinghe just shook her head and said nothing, she looked at the vacant seats around them, and immediately understood. So she immediately changed the topic, but her mind was suddenly attracted by the sound of music in the store, she listened carefully for a while, and finally realized that this was Xiao Ke's favorite song to listen to back then.

Qinghe noticed her expression, took a sip of the fragrant milk tea, and said, "The CD I put now is the package I received this morning. ”

She showed an even more incredible expression, Xiao Ke had left for so long and had not contacted her again, but she was a big living person as if she had evaporated from the world, and it was like a world away when she heard the news about her again.

She didn't know if Ah Di would tell Xiao Ke about the matter with Lehi, she once thought that the reason why she no longer contacted her was that she already knew that she had been with Lehi, and she wanted to explain, but the other party didn't even give her a chance to explain, she was ready to lose this best friend, but she didn't expect to receive a postcard from Tibet last Christmas.

That year's Lunar New Year coincided with the Tibetan New Year, and Xiao Ke spent the highest New Year in her life in a welcoming Tibetan home.

Everyone celebrated until the early morning of the next day, and she wrote a postcard to Lu Wanting in the melodious singing and passionate sound of the horse-head qin, telling her that her heart was now filled with the beauty of this world, and asked her to find a good man for Qinghe, it was her words that made her come out of the haze.

The wind chimes rang again, and the two looked at the door at the same time, and a woman in her fifties walked in, Lu Wanting felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Weihe's mother." Qinghe said.
