2. Absurd dreams

Linjiang in ninety-three years is just a small city with a radius of only twenty miles, and suddenly one day I heard that the county was withdrawn and the city was changed, although Lin Yifan has not yet figured it out, or that place, what is the difference between the county and the city, but four years later, Lin Yifan has been unfamiliar with this place that has grown up with him for more than 20 years, Linjiang at night is already a city that never sleeps, the stone steps of Datong Street have been impossible to find, and a plate of broad beans and a bowl of coarse tea can only be relived in Lin Yifan's memory, All that sinked into his heart was the flying dust and the noisy breath.

Lin Yifan crossed the cross street, and turned right for three minutes, and looked at the familiar carved building, the current city government is still paying attention to cultural relics, the Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings are now a business card of Linjiang, the old city was not pushed off together in the renovation, and the four corners of the bell tower were pressed on the neon lights, the red, red, green and green are good-looking, but in Lin Yifan's view, it is like entering a ghost city, there is an indescribable and weird feeling. Lin Yifan turned along the root of the wall on the east side, and when he looked up, he saw two big lanterns, not very bright, with the words "Zhangjia Restaurant" vaguely written on them, the two-story small building, quite a quaint flavor, Lin Yifan said in his heart, it is a good place to be quiet in the middle of noisy.

Yang Jie, Xiao Cai, and Huang Ying have arrived, and they are chatting energetically, Lin Yifan said hello and sat down, and saw that four dishes of cold dishes had been served on the table: scallion oil jellyfish, rock sugar lotus seeds, pickled shuttle crab, five-spice vegetarian chicken, lingering vegetarian matching, but also exquisite.

"Hey, you're all here, I ordered this cold dish blindly, Xiaolin, you can order a few more hot dishes!" Zhang Julan flashed into the private room, a fragrant breeze blew, Lin Yifan couldn't help but sniff, carefully picked up Zhang Julan, only to see that she put her slightly curly long hair loosely behind her head with a wooden hairpin, still blood-red lips are bright and dripping, wearing a dark red tight cashmere sweater, her erect chest seems to be trembling slightly, brown sauce-colored tweed trousers, her buttocks are very upturned, and there is a lazy smell of wind and dust.

Zhang Julan glanced at Lin Yifan, threw the recipe to Xiao Cai and said, "He doesn't order, let's order!" After hanging up the windbreaker that was held in the crook of his arm, he sat down naturally and casually under Lin Yifan.

Xiao Cai flipped through for a long time, and finally ordered two, Yang Jie and Zhang Julan each ordered one, Huang Ying smiled at Lin Yifan, and handed the recipe to Lin Yifan if he didn't order. Lin Yifan thought about it for a while, ordered two more, and added a green vegetable to copy the land. This is a dish that Huang Ying likes very much.

"Director Zhang, I see that your brother's environment here is good, it's quite quiet, and business should be good, right?" Yang Jie asked.

"If you can't eat, you won't die of hunger!"

"Your brother?" Lin Yifan stared at Zhang Julan suspiciously.

"This is my brother's shop, he's just too high, so this shop is so half-dead."

"Supposedly this dish tastes good, doesn't it?" Lin Yifan took a bite of the dish and tasted it carefully.

"It's not bad, it's a pity that our Lao Zhou has pulled so much business for him, and he hasn't kept a repeat customer."

"Yes, your husband is not in the Audit Bureau, and he should be rich in administrative resources!" Huang Ying interjected.

"Not really! But my brother this man, alas! Once, the wife of the director of the local tax bureau took her mother-in-law and children to dine here.

It's just more than 100 yuan, and it's over that it's said that the account will be settled in a few days, how easy it is to do, and there will be hospitality here in the European Director's Bureau next time

Add this account together, my brother is good, and a few days later, he will call the wife of Director Ou, okay, on the contrary

At the end of the day, the tax department didn't put it here once. ”

"Ha Luha, your brother is quite interesting." Lin Yifan said with a smile, and he had a good impression of this boss in his heart.

"Still laughing, I'll introduce you to each other when I go back, maybe the two of you are really on the right path." Zhang Julan picked up her wine glass, "Okay,

Don't talk about him, brothers and sisters, let's have a drink and salute Xiaolin together. ”

"Okay, cheers-------"

After pushing the cup a few times, Xiao Cai was already a little drunk, and dragged Lin Yifan to it: "Brother, you can go, Lao Ning."

But a good person, your life is good, it's good, you are willing to ...... Definitely ...... better than me."

"Xiao Cai, what are you talking about! Won't I make you feel better? Zhang Julan said sullenly, "Besides, Xiao Lin will also go to hang his name, maybe he will come back that day." I feel like a mother worm, and Xiao Lin won't dare to come back then! ”

"No, no, no...... It's not," Xiao Cai argued, his face even redder.

"Forget it, little hairy boy, I don't care about you, if you say the wrong thing, you will be punished for drinking!"

Xiao Cai really gave a drink, tilted his body and toasted everyone again, and Lin Yifan also took a symbolic sip. In fact, Lin Yifan's alcohol consumption is very good, and every time she went to Chu Qiao's house in the past, she would have a few drinks with her father. Her father was a soldier and was very heroic, if Chu Qiao hadn't been stopping him, the two of them would really have to fight. But today, Lin Yifan suddenly lost interest, and he couldn't tell the situation, he just felt that this wine was really a little tasteless.

Yang Jie and the others finally finished drinking, and the young lady had already brought in the bill, two hundred and eight, Lin Yifan said that it was okay, and got up to pay the bill, but was pulled by Zhang Julan and shouted, "I'll come, I'll ...... it."

Lin Yifan didn't fight Zhang Julan after all, so he didn't insist anymore, and only promised that he would pay for it next time, and then dispersed.

When he went out, there was a cool breeze, which was very comfortable, and Lin Yifan took a deep breath before slowly pacing towards the residence.

########################################################

Lin Yifan's residence is the group's new employee apartment, which was renovated from an old building bought from a dilapidated garment factory next door when the group's production base was expanded. Lin Yifan occupies a small suite, one bedroom and one living room, but there is no separate bathroom. However, he felt that it was not inconvenient for a man to live in at the time, and with his qualifications, he could only live in a dormitory for eight people. The whole company only got two sets, one set of Professor Liu hired from outside, and the other set was somehow given to Lin Yifan. After the company moved from the leased land to the new base, it built an independent gate, and a row of walls between the company and the group was not removed, but a back door was opened to facilitate the communication between the company and the group.

Lin Yifan went straight into the gate, and the doorman Master Shao stopped him, "Xiaolin! Xiao Lin waited, someone put a key here, saying that they would give it to you! ”

"Oops, I forgot, I can't get in without a key, thank you!"

"That girl, she looks good! You're a boy! Master Shao took out the key from the drawer.

"Oh, you're mistaken! Just an ordinary friend! ”

"Oh, ordinary friends! Will an ordinary friend have a key to your dorm room? ”

Lin Yifan took the key, smiled, and turned to the apartment without answering.

When I entered the door, I saw that there was a note left on the table, this is Xuewen's habit, Lin Yifan glanced at it: Baby, I'm sorry, he's back, I don't live in the factory today, I'll call you tomorrow!

Xuewen is sometimes honest and cute, she never knows how to hide her thoughts and her own things, she doesn't know that sometimes people can tell small lies. Lin Yifan sighed, unfolded the note, smoothed it, folded it in half, and folded it in half, this is already a habitual action, it is very natural, and suddenly a heart star appeared from Lin Yifan's slender fingers and stuffed it into the storage jar on the desk,

Lin Yifan poured a glass of boiling water and half-lay on the sofa, his feet stretched comfortably under the table, but the person in the painting on the wall squinted at him, the corners of his eyebrows rose, and there was a faint hint of a smile.

Lin Yifan's hair is very soft and not dense, even if it is handed over to a hairstylist, he can't set the style, and he has mousse but his scalp is exposed, so he would rather let his hair fall on his head at will, and it is more natural. But Chu Qiao's painting skills are very good, Lin Yifan felt that this painting was much more expressive than his own photos, especially the hair was painted with a very textured texture and a good texture. A few days ago, Xuewen helped him tidy up the room, and occasionally turned out some previous things, including this painting, Xuewen also shouted that he gave her away, Lin Yifan was silent, because there was too much sustenance in this painting, how could he give it away, especially to a woman. Xuewen didn't insist, Lin Yifan knew that even if she gave it to her, she would definitely be locked in a drawer in the office after the last, and she couldn't hang it anywhere else, Xuewen might also be aware of this problem, so she didn't mention it, but asked to hang it in Lin Yifan's room, and she also gave a photo frame the next day.

The boiling water in the cup was very hot, and Lin Yifan was still staring at the painting, pondering his shallow smile. Through the hazy mist, the person in the painting suddenly floated down, opened the door and went out, Lin Yifan involuntarily got up and followed him, through the long corridor, but listened to the person in the painting in front of him singing softly: What else can I keep, except for that little bit of pitiful tenderness; What else can I keep, and forget that night of silence; I want to go back, I want to go back, but I can't get rid of that watery spring sorrow...... Lin Yifan heard that he burst into tears, so he followed the footsteps of the person in the painting more and more, turning back in the stairwell with dim lights, but the person in front of him stepped on the air one step in the air, staggered and was about to knock downstairs, Lin Yifan stepped forward and grabbed it, the person in the painting looked back and turned around with a smile, but saw a huge hole in his chest, a green-headed snake lying in the middle, was about to devour the thumping heart, so greedy, only to startle Lin Yifan to run away, ran back to the fourth floor in one breath, and hurriedly entered the room and closed the door, I felt that my mouth was dry and abnormal, and when I saw that the teacup was still on the table, I took a big sip of it, "Oops, it's so hot!" ”

Lin Yifan opened his eyes suddenly, reached out and touched the cup, feeling a lot warmer, and daring to love was a dream. Lin Yifan stood up, opened the back window, and as soon as the cold wind blew down, he lost all his sleepiness, so he lay down on the bed with his clothes, thinking about the text he had conceived a few days ago before he had written it, and thinking about going to inspect and report tomorrow, thinking about the ridiculous dream just now, and thinking about Xuewen at this moment, he probably fell asleep peacefully in someone's arm...... Tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep all night.
