352, the illusion of intimacy
When eating. An Guoqing and Li Caifeng were downstairs as usual. Work while eating. During the evening rush hour of sales. The lottery station is crowded with people. It's hard to move around. Space is precious. An Ran had to eat upstairs alone.
Not spacious in the dining room. The lights are silent. The voices are gone. Big dining table. Only one person was dining. Cups, plates, and pans are lightly clattered. Chopsticks to pick up vegetables. Teeth chewing...... All the sounds seemed to be amplified tenfold. It can even bring up a string of subtle echoes. The silent air shook.
Maybe it's not really that loud. Perhaps it is longing and loneliness that psychologically amplify these sounds.
When it was first renovated. Enron deliberately set up a photo wall on the wall of the restaurant. It's covered with photos of family and friends. Among them, Jiang Jieyun and the three of them account for half of the country. Most of them are captured. Laughing. Funny. Binge Hesse's ......
Her reasoning at the time was: The three of them were shown in the dining room with the reincarnation of the starving ghosts. Let the people sitting at the table feel a sense of crisis at any time. It's like the next moment. These three pieces can jump out of the photo. Grab all the good food and vegetables on the table and eat them all. If you don't eat it quickly. Eat hard. If you turn back, you'll have to go hungry...... In a word. It is very helpful to increase appetite.
It is a "psychological suggestion" that a certain materialist always emphasized.
And now. A man sits at the dining table. While cooking rice, I looked at this photo wall and the familiar ones on the wall. The smiling faces of my dear friends. An Ran felt that her arrangement was simply digging a pit for herself to jump.
A person's appetite is good or bad. Sometimes directly related to food. And sometimes. It's determined by mood and environment.
Like now. In fact, she was already hungry.
As soon as I arrived at school in the morning, I had to stuff a lot of chocolate in one go. I poured a large tea jar with huge sweet ginger brown sugar water. Subsequently. She tried to dilute the sweetness of the dead in her mouth and stomach pouch. I really drank a lot of water. My stomach was bulging. The slightest movement of his body was in a trance, and he could hear the sound of rushing water. Mixed with a sturdy water full.
And so it goes. I couldn't eat at all at noon. Wait until the afternoon. After going back and forth to the toilet a few times, I was hungry. But she had something on her mind. Forgot to bring an extra meal. I had to be hungry until now.
But the stomach is hungry. It doesn't mean that the appetite is good.
The photos of Jiang Jieyun on the wall are all present to remind her from time to time. their absence. Their hardships and their own concern for them.
In the silence of the world. You can hear a faint human voice coming from the lottery station downstairs. The buzz of cars driving down the street. and the distant honking of steamboats on the canals. A long trailing tail note......
Such emptiness is actually unhelpful. It gives people more room to think. But such a space is for Enron at this time. Actually, it's not necessary.
There was time. There is space. She'll be cranky. Thinking of Jiang Jieyun in the provincial capital. Thinking about Jiang Chengzhuo and Zhao Zhenxu, who were locked up and confined. Thinking about how they are doing at the moment. Didn't eat well? Eat it to the best taste. There is no picking. How they feel. What the situation is. What are you thinking......
That's not good.
There's nothing wrong with worrying about it. But we can't let these emotions overflow too much. Once these thoughts grow too quickly. Too big. Then it will crush itself in the first place. Meantime. It can also be a heavy burden on others.
People in this life. It is impossible to be with loved ones all the time. Friends and other close people get along closely. Everyone has something they have to do. The way to go. The loneliness and predicament that you have to face alone. So. Everyone should learn to get along with themselves. Learn to live amicably with loneliness and loneliness. Even enjoy them. They are needed. In one's space and in time. Ponder. Step up your game. Grow......
……
The lonely classmate An Xiaoran slowly picked up the rice grains all the way, and was very literary and artistic all the way to do various psychological construction for himself. She felt that she needed this urgently.
Don't say anything else. She first had to find something to do for herself. Push through this wilting energy like a dehydrated vegetable. I haven't heard of anyone. Losing the company of a friend is like falling out of love.
Even at this time, the situation is extraordinary. It can't go on like this. That's too humiliating. What a sticky person it must be. Who would dare to be friends with her? It's not about falling in love. You have to get tired of being together all day long. Again. Even if you're in love, you can't do that. In the course of time. Losing oneself. So that neither of them has a room to breathe. That's not good. Very bad.
Whenever. Where. What kind of situation. People must first do what they should do. Learn to control your emotions. Instead of letting emotions control themselves.
Be yourself. to have the ability to help others. Let others be assured of your love. Rely on and trust.
Again. Final exams are coming up soon. She can't take "Jiang Jieyun, they won't come back for a day." I'm not in the mood to study for a day, "Ask the teacher for an exemption."
I was finally admitted to a middle school. I still stepped on the line to get in. Worked hard for a semester. Just to not make the final grade too ugly. Friendship is important. Learning is also important. You've got to brace yourself. An Ran. Study hard. Every day. It's a must.
……
There are no people around to talk to your heart's content. So. Mrs. Ann was bored. I had to change direction. I whispered silently to myself in my heart.
Psychological construction has made a basket. The next step is to translate implementation into practical action.
First. We reject the silence of silence. We have to listen to English.
Second. Because our mood is relatively low. Now it takes a little bit of something lively to tune it up.
Thereupon. An Ran took out an English movie professionally recommended by Teacher Xia Weixia and put it on.
Not for the sake of looking. Just to practice listening and speaking. In fact, she doesn't know how many times she has watched this movie. Some lines can almost be memorized. Sometimes it will also imitate the tone of the actors in the movie. Read certain passages of dialogue aloud with them.
But. Enron's goal was more than just certain lines. It's all the lines. It's not about to be memorized. Rather, it must be understood in its entirety. It's best to be able to repeat everything along with it. Every word. Every sentence.
So. Take it out and put it away if you have nothing to do. It is necessary to drop.
Listen to the movie. An Ran began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. When you put on your apron. actually brought a little grievance...... It's been a long time since she's done a serious job cleaning the battlefield. Usually, this kind of work is done by Jiang Jieyun and them.
Alas. People really can't get used to it.
The mood suddenly fell again, and the little old lady An. Shouted loudly in the empty room. "Listen to English. Listen to English. ”
Think about it in hindsight. This scene is as stupid as it gets. She muttered silently in her mind again.
Be focused on learning. Chef An, who is trying to grow, when he hears the phone ringing in the living room. I wasn't in too much of a hurry. I think it should be Miss Xiao Zhou or a few other friends. Eighty percent came to inquire about Jiang Jieyun and them. Even if they don't call. She also planned to call Zhou Fanghua and Zheng Xiao for a while. Please give you an update.
Although I did another mental construction just now. I'm also trying to adjust my mentality. Brace oneself. When you can answer the phone. The tone is still inevitably a little listless. Lazy. "Hey. Hello. I'm Enron. ”
The expected voice didn't sound. There was a low laugh on the other end of the line. It was a sound coming from the chest. The sound is not high. But it's pleasant. A little tired and lazy. Very relaxed way of laughing.
"Jiang Jieyun ......" The voice that was still dehydrated just now suddenly rose. It's like a branch dyed green by a night of spring breeze. All of a sudden, it was full and bright. An Ran's eyes widened. That's a surprise.
The stark change in tone on the other end of the phone seemed to make Jiang on the other end very happy. Immediately, it was full of splendour. "Ahh The sound was pleasantly surprised. It seems that An Xiaoran misses me very deeply. Well. Ben handsome guy said. It's very gratifying. ”
An Ran couldn't help but glance blank. Think about it in hindsight. This white eye is really rolling to the air. Beat the air. Thereupon. Straight to verbal contempt. But it was a smile of contempt. "Ahh It's amazing. Jiang Xiaoyun. Do you feel like a bodhisattva in the temple? ”
"What do you mean. Interpretation. ”
Familiar voices became unfamiliar as they passed through the lines of the telephone. It sounds like a very familiar stranger. You can easily imagine his demeanor at this moment. Behavior. Smiles. Even the angle of the lips raised. Smiling black eyes. and where the arms and legs are placed. It was as if the man was close at hand. As soon as you reach out, you can pinch his waist. Twist it vigorously.
This is the only one that comes through the microphone. With a slight unfamiliar voice, they were reminded of the vast distance in space. But the breath echoed in my ears. It also gives people the illusion of being too intimate.
Enron thought of this. I felt a little itchy in my ears. It was as if the mischievous guy on the other end of the line was standing next to her and blowing into her ear. I was stupid and let go of the microphone in my hand. "That's the explanation. You like to put gold on your face too much. ”
"Where, where. The guys in the temple who are full of bags are not as handsome as me. An Xiaoran. Your aesthetic is very questionable. ”
I want to fight him without nutrition. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to the point in another hour. Let's not talk about whether it is meaningful and nutritious. The long-distance phone bill alone is very painful.
