At eight o'clock in the evening, the street that should be lively is now crowded with pedestrians, and occasionally a few people are also in a hurry, in order to avoid the cold, they all shrank their heads tightly into their necklines, and under the dim street lamp, a dirty stray dog rummaged through the garbage cans looking for food.

Haowangfa supermarket is located in this dilapidated and dirty alley, in the summer there will be a long list of stalls on both sides of this street, what to buy clothes, buy small jewelry all kinds of strange gadgets can be found on this street, mainly in this neighborhood to live and consume are some foreign migrant workers, the population flow is particularly huge, of course, these people bring business but also carry a variety of unstable factors, often see groups of young people on the street drink too much to fight, people living nearby are accustomed to all this, Whether someone came or that person disappeared inexplicably, no one cared.

But now it's winter, and it's like the cold has expelled people indoors one by one, so this street has been deserted for a while. And the door of Haowangfa supermarket is even more crowded, and sometimes no one will necessarily come to buy a pack of cigarettes in the morning. Zhou Chong, the owner of this small supermarket, reluctantly left the warm light of the orange sun at his feet, shrunk his hands and walked to the door, stuck his head out of the door, and looked out. His neck was stretched long, and he didn't want to expose more of his body to the cold air of the wax moon.

Unlike usual, Zhou Chong did not immediately retract into his warm little corner, but slowly walked out into the street with his hands in the sleeves of his military coat, stretching out in boredom.

He put his hand in his arms, took out his hot phone, and looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock, but there was hardly anyone on the street.

"Alas... If it goes on like this, TM will have to drink the northwest wind. Zhou Chong habitually scolded.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and when it looked like the caller ID said "mouse", Zhou Chong smiled and connected the phone.

Before Zhou Chong could open his mouth to speak, he shouted on his mobile phone: "Have you set off?" Hurry up, we're all drunk, don't recognize me as a father if you don't come again! ”

"Uncle, I'm still your grandfather!"

"Haha... If you're really interested in my uncle, I'll make an appointment for you another day, but now hurry up and come over! Whether it's your daughter-in-law's birthday or my daughter-in-law's birthday, I've never seen such a meaty person as you! ”

"It's only seven o'clock, and it's not dark until the summer, so you can drink it! Later, I will close the door of the store and pick up my daughter-in-law and go over, they will not get off work until eight o'clock on the winter solstice! ”

"I'm still worried about your broken supermarket! It's closed early, you say you can't do something as a young man, you keep guarding the store all day long. Hate is hateful here, why did you say that the winter solstice is so beautiful that a girl followed you blindly? ”

"You know the bastard! Lao Tzu is also a CEO, just like you, and if you don't have to do anything with four or six, you will end up in prison sooner or later. What girls need is security! You know the sense of security? ”

"Haha.. Just take a break from your CEO! That's right! I got the grapevine some time ago that your street may have to be re-planned and developed, you see you make plans as soon as possible, don't smash the store in your hands at that time, you can transfer the supermarket at a suitable price, and you can also pay a transfer fee, and the house is not yours, and you can't get any benefit from demolition! ”

"Ahh Is there such a thing? ”

"Hey! I've also heard that I'll talk to you when you come! I didn't tell you that we were drinking, you slipped over! Hang up! ”

After saying that, the mouse hung up the phone!

Zhou Chong looked back at the Haowangfa supermarket behind him and sighed deeply.

Skillfully turn off the lights in the supermarket, pull down the roller shutter door and lock it. When I was leaving, I saw that the headlights were still on! Zhou Chong didn't bother to open the door again, so he took a few steps back, jumped up in a sprint, and slapped the lightbox at the door, "Bang!" "A few big red characters in Haowangfa Supermarket were instantly drowned in the cold darkness!

"Hey! Boss Zhou closed his doors so early! ”

Zhou Chong patted the ash on his hand, and when he looked back, it turned out to be his landlord, "Bao Ye!" Today my girlfriend has a birthday, celebrate her, there is no business with the door open anyway! ”

The landlord said: "The daughter-in-law is the most important, this young man of your age can marry a daughter-in-law and burn high incense!" Hurry up! Don't delay making a fuss! ”

Zhou Miao replied with a smile: "No hurry! No hurry! They don't get off work until 8 o'clock! Why are you still coming out on this cold day? ”

The landlord sniffed and smiled: "Wash your hair.. Shampoo! ”

Zhou Chong's expression instantly became obscene and smiled: "I said Bao Ye! Recently, the anti-pornography crackdown is being cracked down, so be careful! ”

The old man took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, gave one to Zhou Chong, lit one in his mouth, took a deep breath, and said disdainfully: "I'm an old bachelor, I'm afraid of a fart!" I won't talk nonsense with you and leave! ”

Zhou Chong teased: "You have to take it easy!" ”

"Fuck off!" After saying that, the landlord didn't go back and left...

Zhou Chongmu sent the landlord to shrink his head and burrow into the warm red light on the opposite side of the street!

This four-storey building facing the street is this house called Chen Sanbao, a small yard behind, generally stacked with some sundries tenants' electric cars or something, the first floor façade room and the second floor live by themselves, the third and fourth floors have been changed into an independent small single room, a bit like a family hotel-style room for rent, because this is an urban village This geographical advantage, so there is no need to worry about the source of customers, the price is not expensive, the environment is also okay, the only thing is that this old man has a strange temperament, Zhou Chong could often see the old man yelling to kick out some of the tenants, so even though he occupied such a good lot, half of the room was still empty from time to time. Zhou Chong is also happy to be clean, after all, it is not a pleasant thing for too many people to be crowded in one building! Of course, the main thing is that your own supermarket can be close to your room, and it is too convenient to get up in the morning and go downstairs to open the door. So for a long time, Zhou Chong was upstairs and downstairs almost every day.

A small room, although small but well-equipped, everything in the house is in order, clean and warm, such a room is all because it has a qualified hostess, of course, this room is not always like this because Zhou Chong arrived home.

Zhou Miao took off the oily military coat on his sleeves, threw it on the sofa indiscriminately, lit the cigarette on his ear and took a deep breath, looked down at the cigarette brand, and muttered to himself: "This old man is really rich, he smokes such a good cigarette!" ”

The corners of his mouth are holding a cigarette while looking for clothes in the closet, after all, today is the birthday of the winter solstice, and he can't dress too sloppily. What's more, today is also the day when I make up my mind to put this long-brewing plan into action.

Zhou Chong threw away the cigarette butt, put his hand deep into the corner of the cabinet, and found a hexagonal box wrapped in red flannel, and a ring lay quietly in it.

Propose! This plan has been brewing for a long, long time, he and Dong Solstice have been together for thirteen years, and he feels that it is time to give this silly girl a final promise.

Pack up and stop, Zhou Chong went downstairs to the small courtyard to launch his electric car, opened the trunk behind and took out a burlap to wipe the dust off the seat, this electric car is for the winter solstice to work, now the weather is too cold, after the winter solstice is to take the bus to work every day, this electric car is covered with a thick layer of dust. As he was wiping, there was a knock on the door, and a thin young man with glasses came back from outside with a boxed lunch.

This person Zhou Chong knows, lives next door to him, looks down and doesn't look up to see a familiar face, although he has been a neighbor for so long, but Zhou Chong doesn't know what his name is now, this guy is a weirdo, Zhou Chong has always thought so, he is single, and he usually doesn't see him interact with anyone, a pair of eyes often boil into big dark circles, and he has hardly seen anyone else during the day, only every evening he may go out to buy some food, and then he locks himself in the house and doesn't know what to do, I don't know what this guy lives on, what if he doesn't work all day long?

Zhou Chong has always been curious about him, and has been guessing what this guy does! So occasionally I went upstairs with him, and when he opened the door, I glanced into this guy's room, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw several computers in the room, and piles of messy papers piled up in the corner of the room. These aroused Zhou Chong's desire to explore, so he kept trying to communicate with this guy to find out what he was doing.

But he always runs into a gray nose, this guy seems to have some communication barriers, and when you talk to him, he will reply coldly, and there will be no follow-up.

From this point on, although Zhou Chong knew why he had no friends, he was even more curious about him.

If Zhou Chong had been in the past, he would definitely greet him and say a few words, but not today, he looked down at his phone and it was almost eight o'clock, and he couldn't be late for the winter solstice on such an important day, so he pretended not to see this strange guy, and buried his head in the electric car quickly.

As expected, this guy also walked straight upstairs as if he didn't see Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong put the sackcloth into the trunk of the electric car, took out a cigarette from his arms, looked at his back, lit a fire, and whispered: "What a weirdo!" ”

The electric car is running so fast that the neon lights of the city at night are pulled into beating colored lines...

This is a high-end commercial street, the street is clean and tidy, although it is winter in the north, but the landscape trees on both sides of the street are still full of green, like a spring. All kinds of unnamed shops are even more gorgeous, and the decoration and furnishings are more luxurious than the other. There are not many shoppers on the street, not many people can afford the price of the goods inside, Zhou Chong once went into their store when he picked up the winter solstice, it was a specialty selling men's clothing, it seemed to be a foreign brand, boring to look at the brand of the price of clothes inside, the long list of zeros made Zhou Chong's eyes almost burst, he couldn't understand why a set of clothes could buy a QQ car price, and he couldn't imagine which SB would really buy these clothes.

Zhou Chong stopped outside the commercial street, put his hand to his mouth and sighed a few times, and his frozen stiff hand took out his mobile phone and dialed the call of the winter solstice.

"Hey! Is my daughter-in-law off work? ”

"You're here! Wait a while, I'm taking inventory, and I'll get off work soon. Come in! There was heating in the shop and it was so cold outside! ”

"No! Cars are not allowed to enter the pedestrian street! Just come out quickly! ”

"You just leave the car outside!"

"You loser, what should you do if you lose it this big night?"

"Haha... Then you freeze! I'll get out right away! ”

"Gotta do it!"

Zhou Chong rode on the electric car, lit a cigarette, held it obliquely at the corner of his mouth, put his hands into his sleeves and shrunk his neck and waited for the winter solstice to get off work!

At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped beside Zhou Chong, the door opened, and a man in a straight suit walked out of the car holding a large bouquet of roses and walked towards the center of the commercial street.

Zhou Chong spit out the cigarette butt and shrunk his neck to look at this handsome guy and wonder if he also bought a bouquet of roses, after all, it has been more than ten years, and he has never sent winter solstice flowers, thinking of this, he touched the ring hidden in his arms.

Several girls held hands and walked past Zhou Chong with a smile, Zhou Chong saw that one of the girls was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that this person was a colleague of the winter solstice, and quickly got off the electric car and shouted: "Sister! Wait a minute, I'll ask you something! ”

The girl glanced back at Zhou Chong and wondered, "Call me?" You are...? ”

Zhou Chongdao: "That, you are a colleague of the winter solstice, right?" I've seen you before, you're all out, why hasn't she gotten off work yet? ”

The girl first smiled and replied, "She? Prince Charming has an appointment and is chatting? ”

Several girls laughed and chatted as they walked, and one of them said, "Alas! Do you know who that man is? ”

Everyone was curious: "Who?" ”

"I heard that the third son of the group, the rich second generation of Genhong Miaozheng, the family ....."

Zhou Chong watched the girls walk farther and farther away, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Ho..!" This girl even made me a rival in love! ”
