The warehouse was empty, with only one corner for the drinks needed for the bar, and on the other side an empty bed, covered with plastic sheet, and nothing else.

"So, you see, there's nothing here, no heating in the winter and no air conditioning in the summer, you really decided to live here?" Xiang Dong asked me again.

I nodded and said, "That's it, it's so spacious here!" As he spoke, he shook his head and pouted again, put down his backpack, picked up the broom on the side, and began to clean.

Xiang Dong saw that I looked like I had made up my mind, and finally stopped saying anything, picked up the tools, and started working with me.

It worked until noon, and the warehouse that was originally covered with dust was already a little habitable by the two of us.

In particular, the terrazzo floor is covered with dust, but it immediately becomes bright and shiny after washing it with water, and I am very happy to stand on it and give it a cool feeling.

At noon, I invited Xiang Dong to have a light lunch, and after eating, he gave me the warehouse key and the car key.

"I'm going to buy some goods in the afternoon, you can drive yourself to buy some needed items, I won't accompany you, if you need anything, you can call me again!"

I just wanted to open my mouth to say thank you, but was stopped by Xiang Dong with a gesture: "If you want to say thank you to me, don't do it, it's really my misfortune to know you, goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at Xiang Dong's back, I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart, it was a great blessing to have such a friend in my life, and I still said silently in my heart: Thank you, brother.

In the afternoon, I drove east to the department store to buy a set of bedding and some trivial household items, and went to the thrift market to buy a few cheap pieces of furniture.

When I came back and put the bedding and old furniture I had bought properly, the huge warehouse suddenly had a touch of home, and the warehouse no longer seemed so empty.

Although it cost me more than 1,000 yuan, almost half of my remaining net worth, I still feel that it is worth the money. In this way, the "home" I am about to settle in will be settled from now on, at least I will not have to live on the streets for a short time.

As for Mu Xichun's constant deduction of my salary, which caused me to lose this only source of income, I am not too worried, I think there will always be a way, it is a big deal to work harder and find a part-time job, and the living will not starve to death.

After looking at the time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and I felt hungry after doing most of the physical work for most of the day.

I was about to lock the door and go out to find something to eat, and my phone rang, and I took out my phone to see that it was Anne, who I hadn't seen for a few days, and as soon as I connected the phone, Anne's unique friendly voice came from the other side.

"Brother, are you off work? Don't have dinner at the company after work, I bought vegetables, I'll go to your place later, I'll make you something to eat tonight! Anne's tone was full of excitement and seemed to be in a good mood.

I was a little dumbfounded when I heard Annie's words, I hadn't told Annie about being kicked out by the landlord, and in fact I didn't plan to tell her, if I let her know, it would be a repeat of the scene between me and Xiangdong in the morning.

And Anne and Xiangdong are a little different, with my relationship with Anne and my understanding of her, I know that she will not be as easy as Xiangdong, and if I insist on refusing her help, she will definitely feel sad. In a sense, Anne is more like my family.

But now that this fact that I wanted to deliberately conceal was about to be revealed, I couldn't help but be a little flustered, and said in a somewhat stammering tone: "Anne doesn't ...... Don't bother, or let's eat out! ”

"No, brother, I've already bought the vegetables, and I'm rushing to you now, you come back quickly and call Brother Liang."

Hearing this, I panicked even more and hurriedly said, "Anne, don't go, I'm not at home...... No, it's not that I didn't go to work today, I'm not at the company right now! I was incoherent.

Anne didn't seem to notice my abnormality, and still said in a brisk tone: "Oh, you didn't go to work, then I'll inform Brother Liang, I'll be there soon, you come back and open the door for me quickly!" ”

I was on the verge of breaking down, and it seemed that I couldn't stop the window paper from being punctured.

I thought that Anne would know sooner or later anyway, so I simply told her now that I had to explain it early and explain it late, and I would inevitably have to explain it later.

So I muttered for a moment and said, "Anne, don't go, I'm ...... I don't live there anymore! ”

"What? Brother, are you moving? Anne finally changed her mood and said with some surprise.

But her next words left me speechless for a while. "Where do you live now? You tell me the address, I'll navigate over now! ”

"I'm waiting for you at the bar to the east, come over now!" I just felt a tingling in my scalp, and I didn't know what kind of emotional contrast Anne would have when she saw my new home.

And how do I convince her that I really like this new home? It made me a little anxious, wandering back and forth in front of the warehouse, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

About half an hour or so I finally saw Anne's red Toyota coming this way, and I quickly motioned for her to drive down the aisle next to the bar into the warehouse yard behind.

Anne parked the car and looked at me suspiciously: "Brother, what are you asking me to do here, hurry home, I was shooting on the beach today and a fishing boat happened to return to port, I bought a few crabs but they are too big, I am afraid that they will not be fresh when they die in a while!" ”

It dawned on me that Anne had something good for me to eat, and I was a little grateful. But at the moment, I'm afraid I'm going to waste your kindness, I said to myself with some shame in my heart.

I opened the door to the warehouse and motioned for Anne to come in and talk, and Anne walked in with me, confused. When she saw the furniture and bed I had just added, she was even more puzzled: "Brother? What are you ......?" she clearly hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"I'm living here now!" I finally spoke.

"What?" Anne looked at me with wide eyes and said incredulously, "Brother, why did you move to the warehouse, what the hell is going on?" ”

"The landlord of the house I lived in before was going to sell, so I moved out, but I haven't found a suitable house yet, so I'll make do with it here first, and then move out when I find a suitable house later!"

It's a lie I came up with before Anne arrived, and I still don't want her to know the truth, and I just hope that she won't see through it.

I would have known that there were many loopholes in my words, but Anne did not seem to doubt my words, she looked around, and said in a decisive tone, "Go to my house!" With that, he walked over to my freshly made bed and prepared to help me clean up, with an unmistakable firmness in his movements.

I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Anne's arm and said, "Anne, listen to me!" Anne turned to look at me, her eyes filled with mixed expressions.

"Annie, you see that I live here, you see that I have settled all in place, there is no need to bother to move to your house."

"Brother, this is a warehouse, how can I watch you live in a warehouse and ignore it." Anne's tone became a little intense, and she continued, "I don't care what the problem you have, I can't let you live in a place like this anyway!" ”

I felt a little parched and didn't know what to say to Annie. I pulled her to the second-hand couch I had just bought in the afternoon and pressed her to sit on the couch.

"Annie, I know you care about me, but it's really not as serious as you think, I'm just temporary, and I'll definitely move out when I find a good house!" I forcibly explained a wave.

"Brother, tell me, what happened to you? If you are short of money, you can tell me, I can help you, why should you be so wronged yourself? ”

Anne looked at me with a distressed expression, as if I had really been wronged by something.

"Really no, today the landlord suddenly said that he wanted to sell the house, it happened suddenly, I was unprepared to think of here, you know that you want to find a satisfactory house is not done in a while, and here Xiangdong has lived before, you see this bed is left by him, there is no problem at all to live here, you don't think about it!"

I said in a pretended tone of sincerity.

Anne was a little puzzled by what I said: "Really? ”

"Really!"

"Then you should think of me at the first time, although my house is not very big, it is more than enough for you to live, and my studio can also live in people. Why are you here? ”

Anne seemed a little upset that I didn't think of her in the first place.

"Of course I think of you, but I think you're busy with work and don't want to distract you from these little things! And it just happened to be said to the east that this place could be given me a temporary residence, so I moved here, if it weren't for this good place, I wouldn't have said I'd have gone to you! "I'm duplicitous.

"Really?" Anne asked the same question again, but she could tell that she had some faith in my nonsense.

"Of course it's true, who made you kind and golden, I don't know what kind of virtue I have accumulated in my life to know a righteous friend like you!"

Anne finally laughed at my compliments and said, "Well, I'll trust you for the time being, if you don't get used to living here, you can move to my house, and if you find it inconvenient, my studio has a spare room for people, and you can live wherever you want." ”

I nodded yes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that this level has finally passed.

When my heart relaxed, the hunger immediately came up, and I suddenly thought of what Anne said on the phone before, so I looked at Anne and said with a smile: "Then Anne, do you want to make your big crab for my brother?" ”

When Anne heard me say this, she suddenly remembered something, stood up suddenly, and then walked out hurriedly. I had doubts in my heart and followed.

I saw Anne walk quickly to the back of the car, open the trunk and unscrew out a mesh bag, and she was relieved to see the crabs still struggling inside. I leaned in to take a look, and sure enough, they were big enough, each one was the size of a palm.

It seems that Anne bought it from the port, as there are few crabs of this size in the market.

"It's good that it's not suffocated yet, but if it does, it won't be able to make it for you to eat." Anne said with a sigh of relief.

I took the net bag from Anne's hand and said, "I haven't eaten such a big crab yet, Anne, can I eat two?" ”

Anne snorted and said, "Okay, anyway, there are just a few of them, you just have to be kind." It's just that you can't do it here, so you can only go to my house. ”

My old face turned red and hurriedly interrupted and said, "Okay, okay, go to your house, go now, you wait for me and I'll lock the door!" Without waiting for Anne to speak, she quickly ran to lock the door.
