Chapter 8: Find Me (I)

Now that we've told a short story in three chapters, let's talk about a longer story. The story takes place at the end of 08, in fact, I am very willing to recall what happened during this period, maybe because I was my most glorious period at that time, or maybe I had an unforgettable love in my life during that period.

At that time, my income was quite good in second-tier cities, and I didn't have the habit of spending money indiscriminately, although the high quality of life should be followed, but the fine tradition of hard and simple life should also be carried forward and inherited. Most of the money I saved was used to invest in other industries, of course, it was not a big industry, such as opening a bubble tea shop, opening a clothing store, etc., although it was not successful, but it did not lose money. The second is to buy a lot of bank wealth management products, these financial products have helped me a lot so far, said that next week there is a maturity, recently poor crazy I have to treat myself.

The book returns to the main topic and continues from the previous article. At that time, I didn't think about buying a house or anything like that, because I thought that people should have a place to live, and the money should be used in a useful place, not to buy a house, and then buy a house to play when one day I can't spend it all, except for the house I own today, because it is my place to live. At that time, my company rented a house for me, and I didn't want to buy a house to play in other places, and the money in my hand was not very rich. But when I went to Nanyang to do errands, I took a friend from Jinan to visit the scenery of Nanyang, and as a result, he fell in love with a house in Nanyang, so I was tied up to buy a suite, which is the only house I have invested in so far, and it is also a house that I am extremely impressed.

Nanyang is a beautiful city, a jade belt of the general white river runs through the east and west of Nanyang City, Nanyang is divided into two parts of the south of the Baihe River and the north of the Baihe River, next to the Baihe River adjacent to Dushan Avenue to build a community, known as the best community in Nanyang at that time called SC real estate.

Let's talk about my buddy's situation, let's call him Xiaochao, his nickname is Chaochao, so we all love to call him Xiaochao. He should be regarded as a painter, and it is said that the daisies and spider plants he painted are quite famous in the circle, but I don't know how to paint so I don't care about this. We both have some similar hobbies, we both like to drink a little wine but never drink too much, we both love to pick up girls when we are young, and we both love to eat fried foie gras and so on. At that time, he said that he wanted to go to Nanyang to have a while, and by the way, let me find a master of Nanyang jade carving, and he wanted to hone his carving skills again. I didn't learn the jade carving technique but I fell in love with the bar girl in Nanyang and the house in Nanyang, so I bought a house with the bundled non-pull, and I agreed to it as soon as my mind was hot. The house he bought was larger, 280 square meters, and it was a large-plane residence. And mine is only 70 square meters, I don't want to pay for this money, the house type is basically he and we are opposed, one ladder and four households, he himself 280 square meters and our three families have a total of 280 square meters. At that time, the ordinary house price in Nanyang was only about 2700 square meters, anyway, the house we bought was 2700, in the best community, the price of 2700 square meters bought a good house that felt so good and had good lighting, even in the second-tier cities, I didn't dare to think about it, let alone dare to hope for housing in the first-tier cities. After buying a house, I chose a decoration company, and also ordered furniture in the furniture city, he was the same, we took the key, and handed over two of the keys to our two households to a friend of mine in Nanyang, please help him decorate to help us open the door to replace the decoration key, and help us let the furniture into the door by the way. After arranging everything, I returned to Zhengzhou to start my busy work, and he followed me back to Zhengzhou and then reversed the train to go back to his studio in Beijing.

The next two months were uneventful, six days ago I learned that he ran to Nanyang, saying that he had recently created a new painting and needed to calm down, and told me that the house was really good, and I felt very cool as soon as I came in. After saying that, I hung up the phone, and I didn't care that I said that I would wait for two days to play with him when I was not busy.

At two o'clock in the morning on the sixth day, I received a phone call, and at that time the guest was halfway gone, and there were no disputes with any guests all night, and I was very happy to answer the phone. Xiaochao only said: "Come to Nanyang tomorrow, I have something to do with you." He hung up the phone. So it was very inexplicable, and when it came, it was safe, and I just thought about him and sent him a text message back: I'll go over early tomorrow morning. The next day, I didn't ask the driver Xiao Zhou to send me, because he was already very tired from going out for me yesterday, and I took a friend's car to Nanyang along the way to Nanyang, and I had a bottle of 87-year-old dry red in my bag in addition to a change of clothes. Some people often say that the value of the dry red collection for a long time is greater than the taste of drinking, and also say that the wine will deteriorate for a long time, and it is not good to drink, I don't think so, I think that as long as the wine is well sealed, the longer the time, the more mellow, through the oak stopper, there is no need to strengthen the seal, but the professional red wine storage cabinet is still needed, the longer the wine, and even some spoiled wine, the more sour and sweet the wine is drunk, there is not only a sense of age. (The end of the world is deep, don't laugh at me if you spray it wrong).

I went downstairs and took a deep breath of Nanyang air, which was fresh, because of the river, and there were fewer cars here, so the air was filled with a sweet smell. I walked into the hallway, and when the elevator opened, I took out the key, and yes, we both had a key to my house.

I walked into his house, and it was really well decorated, with a fresco-like ceiling, fancy but not dazzling, a marble-colored floor that made people feel noble and generous, and a set of cream-white gold-trimmed furniture was full of luxury. This is the feeling of the living room, each room has different characteristics, he removed the door in addition to the load-bearing wall, but also demolished part of the wall, all to achieve the glass sliding door, so that the light transmittance of the whole room is greatly increased, and the colorful like a fairyland. I saw him painting on the balcony through the glass, so I walked to the small bar next to it, opened the red wine, took out two glasses, and poured two glasses of wine. I looked at his home and came to the conclusion that he had brought the woman home last night and was up late today. Why are you so sure, first of all, he has a lot of long hair on the ground, and I suspect that they were done on the couch. Second, Xiaochao has a slight cleanliness habit, the room must be cleaned every day, the floor and desktop must be spotless, except for the place where he paints, it is covered with oil paint, and the rest of the places can be picked up and eaten directly if the food falls on the ground. Based on the above inference, Xiaochao brought a long-haired woman home last night, and he just got up, and the place of exercise is likely to be a huge living room, so I went downstairs and ordered a fried foie gras at a western restaurant downstairs, and bought a large five-yuan fried noodles at a roadside stall. I always like to eat fried noodles and drink red wine foie gras, so the taste is a bit weird, and the combination of Chinese and Western will always be my favorite.

He was still painting when I came back with my things, I was afraid that the food would be cold and walked up behind him with a wine glass, he obviously noticed me from time to time, nodded his head to greet me, and didn't even look at me, I found a chair next to me and sat down to watch him paint, this painting is almost half finished, all I need is to keep coloring. Daisies are daisies again, and this kind of very cute and pure flower always makes me think of chrysanthemums sinfully, so every time I introduce Xiao Chao, I say that he is a painter who specializes in painting the end of the large intestine.

Xiao Chao put down the paintbrush, cleaned up the oil paint on his hand, took the wine glass I had held for a long time, and then took a sip and said, "90 or 87?" I said, "82." Xiao Chao scolded with a smile: "Sun Tzu, there is no righteousness at all, it should be 87." I was relieved when I saw that he could still laugh and scold, and replied, "What is the matter with Xiao Chaozi?" The buddy was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know where to speak.

I sneered, "Didn't you make a girl's belly bigger?" Hehe, you kid is actually in debt, how much breakup fee are you going to give this time, let me tell others about it. ”

He raised his eyes and said to me, "It's really something, I haven't touched a woman for more than a month." ”

I pretended to be disgusted and said, "I have to believe what you say, don't learn from me to be a good man, I saw a lot of long hair in the living room just now." ”

He looked trembling and said, "Yes, it's hair, come and go to the living room." ”

We walked briskly to the living room, and he said, "Listen to me, wait until I'm done and then interrupt me, yes, it's hair, I found a lot of hair when I first moved in, I didn't care, I thought it was a long-haired worker who fell out." I swept it, wiped the floor again, and went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, I found some hair on the floor, I think it was probably under the furniture, and I wondered if your friend had brought a woman to my house, but I didn't think it would be because of the dusty furniture yesterday. I moved all the furniture away and cleaned it again, and after a while I painted it, it was the work you just saw, and then I went to the bar, and after drinking, I took a shower and went to sleep. But when I woke up early on the morning of the third day, I found a lot of hair scattered on the floor, and I began to wonder if the vents were not clean, or if there was some wig factory outside the window. So I checked the exhaust vents, re-cleaned the house, and closed all the doors and windows. On the fourth day, I got up at nine o'clock, and it was still the same. On the fifth day I stopped cleaning and began to study the hairs, which seemed to me to belong to the same person, the same color and thickness. I thought it might be some other reason I didn't think of, but I didn't think of it. ”

"It's very possible, it's possible that a lot of hairs are piling up in places you didn't check, but it's weird that so many hairs come from the same person." I interrupted him. He didn't retort at me as usual when I interrupted him, he just added, "I hope so, too, but a text message on the fifth night completely discouraged me." ”

Saying that, he held up his Samsung F488E, which was a new mobile phone at the time, a bit like the appearance of a smart phone now, the big screen made the text messages I saw very clear, it was sent by 10086, and there were only three words written on it: Find me
