Near the end of work in the afternoon, Shen Xiaochuan called my office phone.

"Darron? I'm Shen Xiaochuan. How did you feel on your first day at work? ”

"It's good. It's just that you've lost your bike, and I'm always feeling uncomfortable. I said.

"That broken bike, I haven't used it for a long time. If it's gone, it's gone, don't take it personally. ”

"I'll buy you a new one when I'm paid."

"Neurotic! Let you buy it! I wanted to throw away that broken bike, but it's just right to be gone. You shouldn't care at all. Come back for dinner in the evening, I asked my mother to add two more dishes, start the meal at half past six, and drink some beer together, which can be regarded as a pick-up for you. ”

I estimated the time, I got off work at half past five, I had to walk for two hours on the way, and I couldn't get home until half past seven at the earliest.

I said, "I probably won't be able to come back, so don't wait for me." ”

Shen Xiaochuan said: "It's all arranged." You get off work at half past five, and the bus arrives in an hour, and in case of traffic jams, we can just wait for you for a while. ”

It's hard to resist hospitality. But I knew I didn't have the money to take the bus, and I wouldn't be able to get back on foot. But I can't say that.

I lied and said, "Today is the first day of work, there are a lot of things, I can't get off work on time, it may be late, you don't have to wait for me, you have your mind, let's talk about it later." ”

He looked a little helpless and said, "Okay then." ”

At half past five, the company left work on time.

I walked slowly, deliberately delaying a little time, the purpose was to delay the arrival time, so as not to embarrass the people of Shen Xiaochuan's family.

When I walked to Shen Xiaochuan's house, the time was 7:40.

The whole family had finished their dinner, and the table had been cleaned up.

Shen Xiaochuan said: "I just finished eating for a while, and the rest of the food is put into the refrigerator, do you want to eat some more?" ”

I was a little hungry, but I'm embarrassed to say.

I said, "I've already eaten it." ”

Of course, Shen Xiaozhou didn't know that I was lying, he just felt that I was still bothered by the bicycle matter, so he made two cups of tea and said, "Then drink tea." Don't talk about bicycles. ”

We sat down at the living room dining table and chatted.

Of course, it was mostly him talking, and I just pricked up my ears and listened.

Shen Xiaochuan chatted about a wide range of poems, including classical poetry, domestic modern poetry, and foreign poetry, focusing on hazy poetry, what Beidao, Shu Ting, Gu Cheng, Yang Lian or something, as well as Jiang He, Meng Ke, Liang Xiaobin, etc., chatting with relish, the left one "hazy poetry", the right one "hazy poetry", which made me hear hazy.

During this period, I picked up a cup of hot tea and wanted to apologize for the bicycle incident, but Shen Xiaochuan said happily: "I wrote a new love poem today, and I will recite it to you." ”

Broken bridge and remnant snow

When you walk across the broken bridge

The bridge really broke

Lotus flowers under the bridge

Xu Xian waited for a thousand years with an umbrella

The White Lady had been with him in the evening bell in Nanping

Meet and I can only listen to the sound of the waves in the lake

Jiangnan little sister

Are you a white snake or a green snake?

I don't care anymore

I picked up the remnants of the bricks next to the Leifeng Tower

Build a hut by the West Lake

I'll wait for you to row

Our story

It will make the West Lake one more bridge

One more tower or one more tomb

This love poem is indeed well written, but it is really not good to listen to the recitation of love poems with a hungry stomach and a bad mood! Especially, the feeling of being hungry but pretending not to be hungry and then listening to the recitation of love poems is really bad!

Fortunately, it was too late, and Shen Xiaochuan also felt that it was not good to disturb his family's rest too much, so he soon stopped the recitation of love poems and offered to rest, saying that the issue of love poems would be discussed later.

Shen Xiaochuan went back to the bedroom to rest, and I lay down on the sofa in the living room, always thinking about the bicycle......

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Shen Xiaochuan called me and said that he had something to go out to socialize, and asked me to go back to his house after work.

The third day was Friday, and Shen Xiaochuan called and said that he was going to leave the car at five o'clock in the evening, and he couldn't take care of me, so he asked me to take care of myself.

"I'll be back in three days," he said. After I left, you will live in my house normally, I have already told my mother, you will sleep in my bedroom, you don't need to sleep on the sofa, you can read casually if you can't sleep, there are many books. ”

I came back at eight o'clock in the evening, and Shen Xiaochuan had already left the car.

My aunt and uncle greeted me, made me tea, and then they showered, went into the room to watch TV, and then rested.

I went into the bathroom to take a shower, and I felt that the water coming out of the water pipe was not cold at all, just right.

After taking a shower, I felt very comfortable and refreshed.

I went back to Shen Xiaochuan's bedroom and lay on the bed to flip through the books.

At about ten o'clock, there was a noise in the living room, and I heard that it was Shen Xiaozhou's younger brother and daughter-in-law who had returned.

First the sound of the door opening, then the sound of water for showering in the bathroom.

Then it was quiet.

I casually flipped through a lot of books, thinking to myself, tomorrow is the weekend, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, I don't have to go to work, I can rest comfortably for two days, how nice it is!

Before going to bed, I remembered the last verse of the love poem that Shen Xiaochuan shared with me two days ago that he wrote:

I'll wait for you to row

Our story

It will make the West Lake one more bridge

One more tower or one more tomb

After thinking about it carefully, I think Shen Xiaochuan's love poems are really well written, quite sensational!

Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.

Saturday.

When I woke up in the morning, I found my home quiet, barely making any noise.

I saw a few breakfast items on the table in the living room, two small buns, a stack of small pickles, and a small bowl of porridge.

I can't say that's what it's for me.

I went out and walked to the security booth where my aunt worked.

The aunt said, "You are up, there is breakfast at home, it is prepared for you, you can go back and eat." I'll come back at noon to cook and eat with you. ”

At noon, it was half past eleven when my aunt returned. She went directly into the kitchen, made three dishes in a short time, and said, "Shen Xiaochuan is out of the car, his brother and daughter-in-law are not at home, so I and your uncle will accompany you for lunch." ”

Then the three of us ate it.

At dinner, my aunt cooked four dishes, and Shen Xiaochuan's younger brother and daughter-in-law were also at home.

This makes me very happy, alone in a foreign country as a stranger, to have a home that is not my own home but can also find a home, the loneliness in my heart is suddenly a lot less, naturally I am very happy!

Looking back on the first three days, except for the girl named Chen Wanting, who invited me to breakfast on the first day, there was no more on the second day. I only have one meal in the company at noon, and there is no dinner and breakfast in the evening. I even thought, why didn't Ah Fen say he would invite me to breakfast every day yesterday morning?

Looking at today, I have three meals a day and are full and fragrant, I really enjoy it!

Sunday.

Auntie still prepared breakfast for me. At noon, I still ate with her and my uncle, and I was very happy.

At dinner, the scene changed dramatically-
