2. Unexpected visitors
Time flies, and soon a month passes.
On the road in early autumn, Song Wenbin was wearing slippers, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes were scattered, sitting in the cab of a Jiangling truck, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and driving the truck to the outskirts of the city.
In his passenger seat, several boxes of carbon arrows were held high in cardboard boxes.
Song Wenbin's father, Song Siping, was a small manufacturer of outdoor products in China, operating the production of some items such as hiking poles, sleds, table tennis volleyballs, bows and arrows. These sports are tepid in China, and Song Wenbin's father's business has not improved for more than ten years, but fortunately, although the industry is deserted, there is not much competitive pressure, and it is not too much of a problem to meet the family's well-off life.
It's just that although his father runs the outdoors, he doesn't have any interest in the outdoors, and he either settles accounts in the study or looks at stocks in the office every day.
Fortunately, since his resignation, the program team has not mentioned the contract with him. This made Song Wenbin breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he was just a small middle-class family, and if the seal wanted to sue him for breach of contract, then he would have no power to resist.
Soon, the truck arrived on the outskirts of H City, an area dedicated to outdoor activities. Because of the cheap land, there are many badminton halls, table tennis halls, ice rinks, ski resorts, and archery halls. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is very good. Of course, because there are many outdoor sports halls here, there are naturally many merchants who sell equipment here.
The car stopped in front of an equipment store, and Song Wenbin opened the door and began to deliver goods to the store. This is a non-technical job, just need to get on and off the bus repeatedly to move things.
After moving with the boss all morning, Song Wenbin finally finished unloading and was about to leave, but the boss stopped him.
"Xiao Song, I'll go out later, you can help me look at the store."
The boss handed him a cigarette and said.
"Oh, okay, Uncle Liu."
Song Wenbin said.
In the afternoon, when he went back to be idle, Song Wenbin lazily shook into this outdoor goods store, took out a bottle of Coke from the freezer next to him, and then sat at the cash register, opened the love apartment, lit a cigarette, and looked at it expressionlessly.
Time passed minute by minute, and Song Wenbin's thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance, what were Su tina and Huo Yu doing now. According to the arrangement of the program team, they may be doing some strange work in a foreign country at the moment, or maybe the program team has found a new male guest, a stronger existence than him.
"Ah, Xiao Song."
Someone shouted, very sharp.
Song Wenbin quickly sat up straight from his chair and put out his cigarette.
"Aunt Yao."
The person who came was a middle-aged woman who was a little fat, and she was accompanied by a girl who was also slightly fat, with some acne on her face, wearing glasses, squinting eyes, and messy hair, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
This is the proprietress of this outdoor goods store, and the boss's daughter Liu Rui is following her. Song Wenbin saw it a few times when he was a child, and he had some impressions. But I haven't seen it in years.
"Ah, I haven't seen this tall in years."
Aunt Yao said enthusiastically.
Song Wenbin stood up, a little wanting to leave.
But Aunt Yao immediately said: "Sit, sit, there is no one in the afternoon, I'm afraid you have nothing to do, it just so happens that Ah Rui is also at home, let her come here to learn something." ”
"Uh-oh." Song Wenbin said with a smile.
Thinking of Uncle Liu's request to let him see the store, Song Wenbin had already understood the intention of the proprietress, and he secretly gritted his teeth. Although he resigned in exchange for a compromise from his parents, his mother still had some kind of illusion, some kind of unrealistic fantasy.
"Go, let Xiao Song teach you how to use the cash register."
Aunt Yao ordered.
The girl behind her came out reluctantly, stood in front of Song Wenbin, and smiled reluctantly.
Song Wenbin smiled naturally, he got up and pulled up a chair and sat down for her. Then he began to turn on the computer and taught Liu Rui to use the cash register system. Liu Rui listened absentmindedly, his eyes sometimes drifted to the ashtray, sometimes to Song Wenbin's slippers, and yawned.
"Xiao Song, I heard your mother say that you didn't study since you graduated from high school, did you?"
Aunt Yao asked.
"Hmm." Song Wenbin replied briefly: "I don't want to read it." ”
"Then you're working behind Daddy now."
"Yes, just getting started."
"I heard that you used to do live broadcasts, but you still can't do it."
"Not anymore." Song Wenbin said, he clicked on the computer: "You click this, click this, and the cashier is complete." ”
"It's fine, that thing doesn't have a future."
Aunt Yao said: "Tens of thousands of people may not be able to stand out. ”
"yes."
Song Wenbin said: "You can operate it yourself." ”
Liu Rui absentmindedly stretched out his hand, picked up the mouse and clicked it.
"It's good... It's okay to do it with your dad..."
Aunt Yao searched for a long time and didn't find any topics, and said, "Then you guys talk slowly, I won't bother you young people, hehe." ”
"Okay."
Song Wenbin said.
After Aunt Yao left, Song Wenbin immediately stopped teaching and found a chair to sit down. To hide his embarrassment, he turned on the Coke and drank it.
"Why are you still looking at the love apartment?"
Liu Rui blindly clicked the mouse, frowned and asked, "How old is it?" ”
"Pass the time." Song Wenbin said: "Look at that system again. ”
"Oh." Liu Rui said, his eyes glancing outside.
"That's your car?"
Song Wenbin glanced at Jiang Ling and nodded.
"That's... Uncle Song now..."
"Drink tea and watch stocks lose money."
Song Wenbin said.
"Oh oh..."Liu Rui was a little uneasy.
Suddenly, for a moment, Song Wenbin suddenly felt that there was no point in living, eating, sleeping, business, satisfying each other, surviving, reproducing, and pretending. It seems that with only thirty percent of his brain capacity, he is enough to cope with these things. For example, perfunctory, this girl who doesn't want to sit here and is a little disappointed, but forcibly behaves very politely and well-educated.
They don't have any illusions about each other's families and bodies, they don't have any extravagant expectations for each other's personalities, and they even have a trace of dislike for each other's existence itself.
But they are also vain and aggrieved for the most intimate relationship of human beings.
How did humanity come to such a tragic situation?
Song Wenbin thought to himself that compared with this kind of sad life, even the regretful marriage in the sky would make him feel happy. If he was Xiao Yan, he probably wouldn't be angry because Nalan Yanran burned the marriage book, maybe he would be ecstatic because of it.
Perhaps compared with this kind of life, even the life of primitive people is more promising.
There was a grinding noise at the door.
A gray thing almost hit his JMC's ass.
Seeing that thing, Song Wenbin was shocked, and the Coke in his mouth almost choked out.
A girl in a black leather coat slowly got out of the car door, folded her sunglasses and threw them into the car. Then he hummed a little song and slowly shook into the store.
When she entered the store, she looked around slowly, and then her eyes locked on Song Wenbin's face.
"Yo?" She said flirtatiously, "What a coincidence." ”
Song Wenbin looked at the girl with nails on her leather coat and a leather ring around her neck, and muttered, "Fuck your head..."
"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."
Huo Yu casually walked to the shelf by the wall, took out a Sanlida compound bow from the shelf, and put it on his hand for a while.
"Is this thing domestic?" She asked.
"Will you get it? Don't leave it empty! ”
Song Wenbin said loudly.
"You're made of bow paper?"
Huo Yu said contemptuously, she picked up the carbon arrow box next to her and opened it unceremoniously.
At this time, Liu Rui on the side couldn't sit still, got up and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Huh." Huo Yu was taken aback, then he saw Liu Rui sitting up, and asked, "She's....?" ”
"Why do you care so much??"
Song Wenbin was very unhappy, he felt that this guy was here to find fault. The broken GTR just now almost hit his JAC's ass.
However, Liu Rui frowned and distanced himself from Song Wenbin, and said, "I'm the cashier." ”
When Huo Yu heard this, he immediately took out his mobile phone, took a picture of Song Wenbin, and said while shooting: "Let's take a look, this is what a well-known misogynistic anchor does offline, dating a little girl in broad daylight." ”
Song Wenbin was furious, strode towards Huo Yu, and said as he walked: "What are you doing here, let's go!" Saying that, he was going to call Huo Yu's mobile phone.
"We didn't have a date!"
Liu Rui said loudly: "We just met at the request of the elders and had a friendly conversation!" ”
Song Wenbin glanced back at Liu Rui, and actually felt that her ordinary appearance was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
"Do you hear that?" Song Wenbin said.
Huo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Are you on a blind date?" ”
Song Wenbin almost didn't bite his lip in an instant.
Liu Rui blushed.
"Hahahahaha
Huo Yu burst out laughing: "Misogyny anchor, blind date, hahahahahahahaha~~"
"Get out!!"
Song Wenbin was really angry, and he snatched the compound bow in Huo Yu's hand. said: "Get out, fall in love wherever you go!" Don't get in the way of doing business! ”
"Why am I leaving!"
Huo Yu immediately pushed Song Wenbin away, and said confidently: "I'll buy something." ”
"You're here to buy something???
Song Wenbin was incredulous.
"I'm having trouble buying outdoor products?" Huo Yu asked coldly.
Song Wenbin: "This is a place for middle-aged people to cultivate themselves, and Xidan and Yintai are the places you should go." ”
"Hey, it's really a dog can't change eating. Why should I go to Xidan and Yintai, why can't I buy things here? Huo Yu said obediently.
Song Wenbin was speechless for a while, but he quickly reacted.
"Hmph, I don't want the police to see a corpse outdoors in the future and trouble me, saying that I provided weapons to the murderer!"
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Huo Yu glared at him viciously: "Because if that's really the case, that corpse must be you!" ”
"Do you really want to buy something?"
Liu Rui asked uncertainly, "Aren't you his ex-girlfriend?" ”
"No!!"
(Not)
The two said loudly almost in unison.
Liu Rui pursed his lips, revealing a look of disgust and suspicion.
Song Wenbin felt that he couldn't stay in this ghost place for a second.
"Do you like to buy it or not?"
With that, he strode outside.
"Hey! Is this domestic? ”
Huo Yu asked loudly behind him.
Song Wenbin ignored him, boarded Jiangling directly, maliciously stepped back, stole the GTR license plate, and then drove forward.
"Don't touch my car!!"
Huo Yu rushed out of the store and screamed.
A carbon arrow hit JAC's glass, and the headless arrow cracked the co-pilot's glass.
"Hahahaha~"
Song Wenbin proudly lit a cigarette and was in high spirits.
Jiang Ling twisted his ass proudly and walked away.
In the car, Song Wenbin swept away the haze and smoked happily.
Although he didn't know why Huo Yu appeared in that store for some reason, it was indeed a rare moment of relaxation during this time.
Thinking like this, Song Wenbin was also a little in a trance.
It seems that I have known her for a few days....
The cigarette was smoking, and the phone rang.
When Song Wenbin looked at it, it turned out that his mother had called.
He answered the phone a little inexplicably.
On the phone, the mother's voice slashed her head and covered her face: "What about you! ”
"I... I'll deliver it. ”
Song Wenbin was inexplicable, and he didn't know what medicine his mother had taken wrong.
"What to send! Come back soon! ”
Mother said hysterically.
"Huh??"
Before Song Wenbin could ask, the other side hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone, the smile on Song Wenbin's face disappeared.
In its place was a sense of foreboding.
It must not be a coincidence that Huo Yu appeared here, the world is so big, this guy didn't go to shoot a show, but went to the outskirts of H City to do something, why did she call her mother when she first came.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt panicked, and the unknown uncertainty made him pinch his cigarette and rush home.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, his heart began to fall directly.
There was a NIO electric car parked at the entrance of the community. Although he had only seen the NIO once, there was no doubt that it was a seal car. And... There is also a familiar figure in the car, and that is director Bowley.
Song Wenbin didn't care about the illegal parking at the entrance of the community, hurriedly closed the door and got out of the car, and knocked on the glass of Weilai.
The director slowly pressed the window and pulled down his sunglasses to look at him.
"What are you doing here!?"
Song Wenbin asked loudly, "How do you know my address?" ”
"Pick up people."
The director said: "Your contract says that you should contact this address in case of emergency. ”
"I've resigned."
Song Wenbin said.
"Well, you can go back first." The director said: "Don't bring your mobile phone." ”
"What??"
Song Wenbin asked.
The director slowly pressed the window and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
Song Wenbin looked at him as if he was an old god, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, he didn't care about the director, and hurriedly rushed to his parents' house in the community.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Wei Ning carrying a camera and standing at the door of the house, while his father Song Siping was standing at the gate of the courtyard, nervously talking to Wei Ning, and stuffing a few red tickets into Wei Ning's pocket. Wei Ning carried the camera and hid.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!"
Song Wenbin appeared and pulled his father away.
When Wei Ning saw Song Wenbin coming, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
But the smile quickly faded, and he became unusually calm and composed.
"You're Song Wenbin, right?" He said.
"Huh?" Song Wenbin pointed at Wei Ning: "What are you kid talking about!?" ”
"You still have an arrogant face!"
Dad Song gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Look at the good things you did!" ”
"What did I do??"
Song Wenbin was confused.
Dad Song pushed away the camera, took Song Wenbin's hand and rushed home.
As soon as he entered the house, Song Wenbin was stupid.
Because he saw a familiar white-haired figure, sitting on the sofa at his house, wiping the corners of his eyes and sobbing and choking.
And his mother Li Yue sat beside her, nervously pulling the paper in the carton and handing it to the crying girl.
"Okay, okay, stop crying... Don't cry..."
Song Wenbin entered the door, and Song's mother saw Song Wenbin's stunned appearance when she entered the door, stood up angrily, pointed to her son, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Song Wenbin has been stunned by this series of combination punches.
Why did Sutina, who was supposed to go to the show, appear at his house and cry so sadly??
"It's... What's going on......???? ”
He asked his mother in confusion.
"You still have the face to speak!"
Mother Song stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and whispered: "I've really raised a beast over the years...."
"What's going on!?"
Seeing his family as if he was facing a great enemy, Song Wenbin couldn't bear it, and shouted at Sutina: "What are you doing here at my house!?" ”
Su tina burst into tears, and cried to Song's mother: "He still murders me..."
"You talk so well!!"
Li Yue was so anxious that he reached out and was about to twist Song Wenbin's ears.
Song Wenbin was about to go crazy, so he could only avoid his mother's hand and patiently asked Sutina, "Okay, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sutina blushed, only to hear her sobbing mosquito moan and say, "I... I have..."
