Berlin roamed the city.

In the midsummer sun, time is always hard to endure and slow...

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the street was stuffy like a big stove, and even the air was baked hot. After wandering aimlessly for nearly two hours, Berlin finally stopped under an old banyan tree.

He stood under the tree, staring blankly at the endless deserted streets and roads, his sickly pale face was full of tiredness, beads of sweat the size of beans slowly rolled down from his forehead sideburns to his neck, and the short shirt he was wearing had long been wet with sweat...

After two hours of searching, no work was found in Berlin.

In fact, a moment of growth and enlightenment made Berlin take a mature step in his immature heart, but he was always only a 17-year-old young boy. No experience, no understanding of the world, no good words. Some cleverness is useless, in the unfamiliar future, he found a few recruitment brand stores at the beginning, and when he walked in to consult, even the communication was fragmented...

In the end he was timid.

Towering buildings, shops with recruitment signs, remote and dirty factories...

Berlin could only try to write down their recruitment requirements, write down the underground where they worked, and write down the way they came. He needs time to go back and think about how to choose, how to go to the interview.

He walked back.

If he goes any further, he'll probably not find his way home...

It's a long journey here, and it's an even longer journey back.

The scorching sun, slimy sweat stains, grinding sore feet, and a tired body that lacks exercise. The hour I went back, like being tortured, made Berlin regret how many times I had to walk so far to find a job...

Berlin, which was just thinking about going home and delaying it for a day to think about what to do, was inexplicably depressed - what if there was no talk of work tomorrow?

...

Dusk fell.

The scorching heat turned a little cooler. Perhaps the heat had dissipated, and when Berlin came home and opened the door, he found his daughter Nini sleeping in the coolness.

Berlin sat lightly on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the future daughter who did not dare to touch and hug during the day, while relieving the physical exhaustion of running for a long time.

Gradually, the noisy chirping of the cicadas stopped. A little breeze swept into the hut, blowing a little hair on her forehead, revealing her cute little face that resembled Berlin.

Looking at this little face clearly, Berlin was in a trance for a while, he was just a young teenager and had a daughter. Traveling to the future, everything that has been experienced in just a few hours is like a dream...

Chen Kexin, Le Yao, daughter. Rent, work.

He found that the future world, the world of adults, has a lot of troubles.

...

Suddenly, the sound of a door pushing interrupted Berlin's thoughts.

Chen Kexin is back.

At this time, she was wearing the supermarket overalls she had brought with her when she left, and she was clutching a plastic bag full of vegetables in both hands. The hair on her forehead was wet with beads of sweat coming out, and she looked a little messy, and she gritted her teeth lightly, for fear that the plastic bag in her hand would fall, obviously the bag was very heavy, and she was struggling.

"Be careful... I'll mention it. ”

Seeing this, Berlin quickly got up and stepped forward, and just took the plastic bag in Chen Kexin's hand, and the huge heaviness on the bag pulled him to stumble, and the bag almost fell to the ground.

It's so heavy!

Berlin glanced up at Chen Kexin who raised it and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was strangled with two dark purple bloody strangulation marks, some of which did not match the rough palms of the young face, and his lips were dry. When I looked down and saw the rice, vegetables, and other daily necessities in the bag, I instinctively wanted to say something, but I opened my mouth, but I didn't know why, I didn't say it...

Chen Kexin noticed Berlin's gaze, and quickly put down his hand as if evading, "Thank you, Berlin." ”

She didn't smile, and the tiredness on her face obviously made it impossible for her to squeeze out a smile that she didn't like to smile. And the tone is as raw as noon, beyond the politeness between husband and wife..

"There were just a lot of vegetables left in the supermarket today, and the price was quite cheap, so I bought some." Subsequently, Chen Kexin explained unnecessarily. This makes Berlin a little overwhelmed, between husband and wife, these... Is it necessary to talk about it?

He didn't know.

He didn't know how to reply.

I could only nod stiffly, twist the bag, and put the things next to the refrigerator. And Chen Kexin, who was following him closely, cooperated and put the vegetables in the refrigerator. She was bustling with her busyness, Berlin standing on one side. In the silence, after thinking about it, Berlin still spoke, "That's right. Can.. Kexin. In the afternoon, the landlord came to collect the rent. ”

Chen Kexin paused and said, "Well, I'll wait to give her the money." After speaking, he took out a small bag of pig from the bag, "I also bought some meat... It's just that the price of meat has risen recently, and I don't want to buy too much. Shall I chop some stir-fried vegetables tonight? ”

"Good..."

After helping Chen Kexin, Berlin sat back in his place. After Chen Kexin skillfully washed rice and cooked, she cleaned up her clothes and soaked in water, and then picked up a broom to clean up.

Her expression was very indifferent, as if she had long been accustomed to this busy day.

It's just that Chen Kexin didn't notice Berlin not far away.

He kept looking at the strangulation marks on Chen Kexin's hands that had not yet dissipated, looking at the sweat stains on her sideburns that she had been carrying, and looking at the tired face engraved with life...

Berlin is inexplicably distressed.

It was also at this time that her daughter Nini woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Chen Kexin and Berlin, and shouted happily, "Mom, Dad, are you back?" Then he trotted over and hugged Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin responded, but then she looked at Berlin, a little curious. Although it was quickly recovered, it was detected by Berlin.

Berlin was silent for a while, he understood the meaning of Chen Kexin's gaze, and explained, "I'm in the afternoon... That is, I went out to see the work. ”

"Work?"

Chen Kexin was stunned and a little stunned.

"Just... Don't you have much money at home... I thought I might as well if I didn't go out and find a job. So I went out in the afternoon to see if there was any work I could do, but I haven't talked about it yet... I want to think about it and talk about it tomorrow. ”

Berlin tells.

But he still couldn't understand what emotions were fluctuating in Chen Kexin's good-looking eyes this time.

Chen Kexin looked at Berlin and seemed to think a lot... After a while, her eyes suddenly reddened, "Hmm... Actually, it's okay Berlin, let's not rush. If we can't find it, let's look for it again, and if we work together, life will definitely get better. ”

Considerate, virtuous, diligent, and strong...

This is the first impression of my future wife on the first day in Berlin.

Such a good wife, why would her future self choose to divorce?

Berlin was suddenly a little confused.

Maybe... Maybe it's not the beautiful and smart girl in my dreams. But at least, she is a good wife who is willing to live a hard life with her, isn't she?

Just as Berlin was about to reply to Chen Kexin, the mobile phone ringing with jingle bells rang.

Berlin pulled out his phone in a panic.

He glanced at it.

It's not Le Yao this time.
