I never expected Sun Kai to come, he saw me stunned in place, so he said with a wicked smile on his face: "What? Old friends are not welcome? ”

I hurriedly walked over, smacked him, and said with a smile, "How did you find here?" ”

After speaking, I looked him up and down again, I haven't seen him for a long time, he seems to have lost a lot of weight, but it does not affect his handsome facial features.

"It was Xiao Qing who told me, I happened to come here on a business trip, so I came over to have a look."

He looked into the courtyard, frowned unconsciously, and asked, "Do you live in this place?" ”

Qin Yan sat on the bench, a little short of breath when he heard this, he glanced at Sun Kai, and said angrily: "What's wrong with this place?" ”

I saw that Sun Kai's expression was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This place is very good, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the rent is cheap." ”

Sun Kai laughed dryly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed me one, lit it, and after lighting it, the two of us walked into the courtyard and sat down on the bench.

A cool breeze blew, scraping off the two dead leaves on the laurel treetops, the leaves danced like butterflies, a moment later, a leaf fell on the table, Sun Kai pinched it, took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, through the sunlight, you can clearly see the veins and nerves of the leaves, although it has withered, but the traces on the leaves show the endless life.

"How are you doing, how is your business?"

Sun Kai glanced at me and asked lightly.

"It's not very prosperous, and it's not profitable to set up a stall this season."

Qin Li lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, giggling a few times from time to time, Sun Kai looked at Qin Li and said, "Who is this little handsome guy?" ”

"He's a resident here."

Sun Kai retracted his gaze, crumpled the dead leaves in his hand, looked at me again and said, "How are you and Xinyan, when are you going to get married?" ”

As soon as I heard the word marriage, I became depressed and sighed, "We broke up." ”

"What? Broke up? ”

Sun Kai stood up suddenly, seemingly surprised by this sudden answer.

I flicked the ash of my cigarette and said with a smile: "Why are you so excited, it's not that you broke up and sat down." ”

"There should always be a reason for breaking up because of something, right?"

Sun Kai sat down slowly, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and looked at me with a puzzled face.

Qin Yan crossed Erlang's legs, lowered his head and played a competitive game, as if he was fascinated, and when he heard the conversation between me and Sun Kai, he said lightly: "Because he is incompetent." ”

When I heard this, I grabbed an empty cigarette case and threw it at him, saying angrily, "Go over there and play." ”

Qin Yan stuck out his tongue at me and went to the basement.

"Xiao Tao, you have been in a relationship for so many years, why did you say that you broke up when you broke up? Did her mother stir things up in the middle? ”

Sun Kai still chased this question, I sighed lightly, and said with a relieved face: "Actually, it can't be said to be a breakup, I was planning to go to her this afternoon, and some words must be explained in person." ”

I looked at the bird cage hanging on the laurel branch, the parrot inside closed its eyes, looked sluggish, and its body trembled slightly, as if it was sick, I hurriedly walked over and took off the cage, and found that there was a lot of thin excrement at the bottom of the cage, it turned out to be diarrhea, is it the reason for eating those steamed bun dregs?

"You're quite leisurely and elegant, since you've raised parrots."

Sun Kai stood behind me with his hands behind his back, carefully examining the parrot in the cage.

"This stupid bird landed on the edge of the pond in the yard, and I caught it, it must have been raised by someone, and accidentally flew out."

I squatted on the ground, put my fingers into the cage, touched the parrot's feathers, soft and silky, felt very good, I have been to the lady's villa a few times before, she has a few precious birds at home, if you give this parrot to her, you should be able to ask for a favor back, I secretly thought in my heart, slowly stood up, looked at Sun Kai and said, "When will you return?" ”

"What's the hurry, I just arrived, and besides, I'm here, so I have to drink something."

He patted me on the shoulder, his face full of smiles, and in the soft light, his handsome cheeks seemed to be plated with a golden halo, giving people a visual feeling of vitality and sunshine.

He opened the car door, pouted into the car, and motioned for me to come in, and I was confused and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Didn't you say you were going to talk to Xinyan? It just so happens that I have time, so I'll take you there. ”

I hesitated for a moment, put the bird cage in the trunk, and got into the car.

In the outpatient building of the city hospital, Du Chenyu accompanied Wen Lan to bandage the wound, the wound on his forehead was just a small abrasion, and he did not need stitches, sterilized and bandaged with medicine, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, at this time, Du Chenyu's mobile phone rang, he hurriedly came to the corridor, and saw that it was Xiao Ran calling, he glanced at his watch, it had been a long time since he came out, Xiao Ran had not eaten lunch yet, thinking of this, he answered the phone.

"Uncle Du, why haven't you come back yet?"

Xiao Ran's coquettish voice came from the other side of the phone, and after Du Chenyu heard it, he said lightly: "Uncle encounters something, go back immediately." ”

"Did I buy my toy puppet?"

Xiao Ran was asking over there, Du Chenyu looked into the door and window, and saw the puppet in Wen Lan's arms, he whispered: "I bought it, but I gave it to a beautiful aunt, will Xiao Ran mind?" ”

Xiao Ran stopped asking, and after a while, she smiled and said, "As long as it's a beautiful aunt that Uncle Du likes, Xiao Ran likes it." ”

After Du Chenyu heard this, a faint smile rose on the corner of her mouth, and at this time, Wen Lan walked out with a puppet in her arms, with a white gauze on her forehead, but it did not affect her delicate facial features.

"Xiao Ran, uncle will go back immediately, I won't tell you yet."

Wen Lan walked over, looked at Du Chenyu and said, "It's really troublesome for you, if you are in a hurry, you can go and get busy first, I feel a little guilty for being with me for so long." ”

She blinked her beautiful eyes, pursed her seductive little mouth, and stared at Du Chenyu intently, giving people a sense of freshness like a girl next door.

Du Chenyu swallowed his saliva, looked at Wen Lan and said, "It's okay, if you don't mind, let's eat together at noon." ”

"You want to date me?"

Vinlan had a wicked smile on her face, and her white cheeks had a small dimple, which was very cute.

Du Chenyu smiled awkwardly, but only for a moment, he regained his previous cold expression, he took a step forward and stopped less than ten centimeters away from Vinland, he lowered his head, and even a faint snort could be heard on both sides.

"Listen, my name is Du Chenyu, I have never taken the initiative to date a girl when I am so old, if I really want to make an appointment, it will be a lifetime, do you dare to accompany me?"

Wen Lan looked away, slowly lowered her head, as if thinking about something very important, and after a while, she said with a smile: "It depends on your character, cultivation, material conditions, hum, Miss Ben's conditions are many." ”

She crossed her arms and secretly glanced at Du Chenyu, wanting to see his expression after hearing these requests.

Du Chenyu laughed dryly, raised a hand, Wen Lan unconsciously took a step back, hugged the puppet in his hand, Du Chenyu shook his head helplessly, put her bangs scattered on her forehead behind her ear, patted her head gently, and said with a smile: "Then let's wait and see." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for her to take it up, Wen Lan stood in place, hesitating, she pursed her gorgeous thin lips, looked at Du Chenyu and said, "If you dare to bully me, I will push you down from the 100th floor." ”

"Okay."

A rare smile bloomed on Du Chenyu's cheeks, and Wen Lan took Du Chenyu's big hand and walked towards Xiao Ran's ward.

The sunlight shines through the windows of the corridor, casting a golden halo on the floor, like a spirit of light dancing on the panes, witnessing this talented and beautiful couple and opening a new chapter in their lives.

I sat in Sun Kai's car and fell asleep, and there was a saxophone solo "Homecoming" in the car, the tune was melodious and resonant, bringing my thoughts to my hometown thousands of miles away, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the green grass is like grass, where the blue sky and white clouds, the streams are murmuring, there are far away in the sky, there are family concerns, there are unsolvable complexes, and there are sad pasts that make me love and hate.

I glanced at Sun Kai, he was listening to music with a comfortable face, as if all the suffering and torture in the world had never befallen him, his life was carefree and full of sunshine, why his life was full of twists and turns, ups and downs.

"Xiao Kai, are you homesick?"

I was half lying on the co-pilot, and suddenly asked Sun Kai such an insignificant question, he glanced at me, turned down the sound of the music, and said lightly: "People often say, parents are here, not far away, now my father lives alone in his hometown, said that he is homesick, in fact, he misses my father, he is old, not in good health, but he is able to open a shop to sell vegetables, he is a very ambitious old man, these years, has never spent a penny on me, and he has saved a lot." ”

He paused and continued: "You know me, my mother abandoned us when I was six years old, I didn't cry or make trouble at that time, after a long time, I got used to it, thirty years old, twenty-four years, my father has never been married, even if I and Mengxi persuaded him, he was unmoved, when I was in junior high school, he said that he would wait until I graduated from junior high school, and when I was in high school, he said that I would wait until I was admitted to college, and after graduating from college and joining the job, he still said wait a minute, his life was uneventful, is just a very ordinary vegetable seller, but it is this kind of ordinary accumulation of days that has made my life different. ”

He said it with emotion, a crystal teardrop hung in the corner of his eye, he hurriedly used his hand to go, and said with some embarrassment: "What about you?" Do you want to go home? ”

Go home, I want to go home every day, this city is always gray, from the moment I just got off the train, I have never seen a ray of bright sunshine, the pace of life here is fast, the prices are outrageously high, the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, they are like Wall Street stockbrokers, for fear that a second late will miss the opportunity and lose a lot of wealth.

The ambition of not breaking Loulan and never returning it has already been polished and extinguished in this natural law of survival of the fittest, how many dream chasers are calloused and ragged, and how many people continue to have dignity and dreams, crawling under other people's crotches, how many heroic and energetic young people have boiled out gray hair in this city, forgot their original intentions, and the horror of growing up is that you may become the kind of person you once looked down on the most.

I closed my eyes and whispered, "I want to go home, but not right now." ”

The sound of "Coming Home" in the car was amplified again, and the melody like heaven lingered in my ears, as if I had really returned to my hometown, which was facing the sea, where spring flowers were blooming.
