Two hundred and sixty-eight
Getting dressed, as if looking at everything in front of you for the last time, and as if you want to keep the desk in front of you forever in your memory, is this what people call sentimentality? It's just that it doesn't seem to be, in short, the mood is extremely complicated, lighting a cigarette again, watching the smoke rise again, and it is at this moment that an inexplicable sadness fills the whole world.
indifferent smirk, even this smirk seems so bleak, and then he took some money on the desk, this is the red envelope given to him by the boss, this red envelope seems to have been passive since the Chinese New Year, and the truth is indeed the case.
Now, after taking the money, I took half a bottle of liquor, drank it while walking, went out, locked the door, went downstairs, and was in the lobby on the first floor, and didn't say anything too much to this group of big bosses, because I didn't know what to say to them, in short, I just got out of the door of the Internet café.
Although the beautiful cashier behind him is asking, what are you going to do, is it going to other Internet cafes? And the madman just pursed his lips and snorted.
Riding an electric car, once again into the cold world where the cold wind is still howling, but compared to the previous barren and full of desolation, the current big city is full of life, the streets and alleys are full of people, there is also an endless flow of traffic, in short, maybe this is the world's so-called bustling city, right? It's also what the world calls beautiful, right?
The madman was drinking and riding an electric car, just like that, galloping like a nerd, and the scenery on the side of the road, maybe just because the world was too cold, so he didn't care at all, just stopped at the door of a supermarket and bought a box of tea in it, which was Longjing tea, which cost 165 yuan, and it was also in a gift box, which looked very beautiful.
Then he went out of the supermarket again, rode an electric car again, and once again, continued to move forward in this cold world, and after about half an hour, the scenery around him made the madman begin to feel melancholy, because these scenes he felt very familiar, but he felt very strange, this is what people often say about the familiar and strange feeling, right? In short, the power of words does not seem to be able to accurately describe, a different feeling, I don't know whether it is joy or sadness, but the depths of the mind will unconsciously recall, and the liquor in the hand will also be continuously sent into the stomach.
This is already near the Internet company, like all the dreams, as if the so-called life starts here, no, the dream does not start here, life does not start here, everything, it seems to start from my hometown, the place called Liquan.
In this cold world, staring blankly ahead, seeing people and cars on the street, I don't know why, I remembered the heavy snow that used to fall at the gate of the Liquan Labor Bureau, what was the girl's name? In short, it is like disappearing into this world, of course, seeing the pen that is still pinned to his chest, in addition to thinking of Lili, he can also think of the female foreman who used to be in the hometown hotel, in short, all the memories are eroding themselves at this moment, but why these memories want to erode themselves, this is completely clueless.
When I see the door of the network company again, it seems that this place will never change, but it seems that this is no longer a network company, but whether it is a network company now, in short, the journey of my life, I have stayed here, there are too many memories and happiness here, and of course there are too many sorrows and regrets.
Whether it is the batch after batch of new employees in the network company who do not know the height of the sky, or the later Lili, and those who can't bear the cruel reality and leave, or even themselves, it's just that this journey seems to be good.
Thinking of this, the madman smiled indifferently, but he didn't stay here too long, after all, this place no longer looks like an Internet company, and he thought to himself, has it moved? Maybe that's the case, right?
Then I saw it again, this seems to be permanently sealed in my memory, that is, the moat, the water in the moat looks quite clear, after all, the high-level in the city will always spend a lot of money to clean up the river, besides, this is an ancient town, after all, to keep the scenery beautiful, after all, there are always people to play, so it will drive the economy here, so spend money to clean up the river, it is completely necessary to do.
After that, I saw the commissary at the entrance of the alley of the ancient town, this commissary was exactly the same as before, as if it would never change in any way, just like the old man who was still sitting on the chair in it at the moment, yes, the old man was still the same old man, but he had changed, and his white hair seemed to be more than before, but it didn't matter, because the old man was still like his old appearance, half lying on the chair, and even in his hand, still holding his purple sand cup.
Seeing this, the madman stopped the electric car, picked up the liquor in his hand, drank the last wine in the bottle, and then entered the commissary with a strong and pungent smell of wine.
Maybe it's because it's too cold, there is an electric heater in the middle of the commissary, it's a small sun, this thing is very wasteful, the madman understands, but now the focus of the madman's attention is not on this small electric heater at all, but on the old man himself.
The old man, who once seemed to never have an expression on his face, had a surprised expression on his face at this moment, his eyes were so wide open, and then there was a smile on his face, the old man who used to be unable to speak at all, but now at this moment, with a smile on his face, he spoke directly: "Crazy, you are here." ”
Oh? It turns out that the old man has not forgotten himself, just like he has not forgotten the old man, and I don't know why, the age gap is too big, and the two people who originally lived in the north and south of the world, just like the two grandchildren, are in this huge world, because of some wonderful things to know, but also to remember each other, if this is the so-called journey of life, then all this is really amazing.
Therefore, the madman smiled lightly: "Old man, bring me a bottle of wine." ”
The old man got up, but now the old man's body seems to be much worse than before, he used to walk like flying, and now, it seems that it is difficult for him to get up, but the madman didn't say anything, the old man took a bottle of Beijing Erguotou, or that kind of big bottle, after the madman took it, he opened it, cooed, and took a big sip.
The old man continued to sit in his chair, and the madman took a small stool and sat down beside the old man, and the two of them remained silent for a long time, as if they had not said anything at all.
In short, it was in such a strange and inexplicable atmosphere that the madman sat next to the old man, drank a lot of wine, and smoked a lot, while the old man was just smiling and even shaking his chair, looking very happy.
……
Time flies, so fast that everyone is suffocated, so time is fleeting, and soon it is almost afternoon, and the madman is hungry, and the old man gets up to cook, and what is even stranger is that since the madman came here, someone came to buy something, and the old man didn't move at all, just said how much it was, and then the madman sold them something, and then looked for money, yes, the madman knew where the cash drawer was, and of course it would count, so the money would not be wrong.
And now the old man, with a rice cooker, ordered some noodles, and some green vegetables, in short, it can be said that this is completely clear soup noodles, the madman and the old man ate noodles together, but the two still didn't say anything.
It wasn't until it was really ten in the afternoon, and even the light of the setting sun was all over the land, that the old man spoke, "What are you doing now?" ”
The madman lit a cigarette, then looked out the door, at the sunset on the edge of the moat, and replied, "Working in an Internet café is also the boss's assistant, right?" But it's only for other reasons that it works. ”
The old man then asked the madman how much he was a month or something, and the madman also answered truthfully, and the old man was very happy after hearing this, saying that the madman had finally grown up or something, but the old man seemed to have noticed something terrible, from beginning to end, this did not mention Yaping's matter, yes, the madman believed that the old man must have known what was going on, so he never mentioned it.
It wasn't until the land was about to welcome the sunset, and the sky began to get dark, that the madman got up and said, "I'm going back, I bought this box of tea for you, but I don't want to give it to you in vain, so I won't pay for the wine." ”
The old man actually sneered, as if he was several years younger at this moment, but after the old man laughed, he looked at the figure of the madman slowly leaving, and said casually: "Lili has come to see me many times, almost every month, and every time she will bring me some gifts, today and Sunday, she may come tomorrow, at noon." ”
Lily? Oh? Is there really such a person? Lily? Oh? Isn't the pen on his chest given by Lili? What is she doing here? Did she treat this old man as her own relative? Obviously, it's not true, yes, the madman understands what is going on, so he pouts like a fool and strokes the pen on his chest, which has lost paint very badly.
But now the madman just said to the old man, oh, and it was just the simplest word, but the old man continued to speak: "You'd better lie down tomorrow, Lili has changed, and I don't know you anymore." ”
The madman didn't speak, just looked up at the dark sky that was about to step into the dark sky, and all the stories that had happened here and Lili all began to hit the deepest part of his brain in a frenzy.
