Chapter 158

He raised his head, drank all the remaining beer in the jar, smoked all the cigarettes, and had nothing to entertain himself. He could only look at the Erhai Lake, which was blackened by the night, and the water birds floating on the water, swimming from here to there……

At this moment, I was obviously not concentrating, but I smiled wryly after a while, why are those shops belonged to Cao Jinbo? Is this really a test of my will?
I think I am a person with a mental cleanliness, so doing this thing is disgusting, and if I don’t do it, I will lose a chance to make money... Over the years, I have been tortured enough by money. This tragedy is also a great torture for the soul.

Gradually, the wind blew harder, and the dead leaves around were circling around, rubbing against the ground, and flying farther away...

I can't help asking myself: If they also have life, would they also hate the ups and downs at this moment?

I can't see through these leaves, but as a living person, I really hate this feeling of being lost. I want to have my own home, whether it's Shanghai or Dali, just have a home.It’s not possible that every time Lao Mi comes to me from thousands of miles away, he can only live in a guest house in the end. I also hope to have a girlfriend who can cook a mouthful of hot porridge for Lao Mi after he lives in our house, and this feeling It's called home.

When I was thinking this way, I especially wanted to make some money to fulfill this wish.

……

Stand up from the reef, sit down again, then pick up the half-remaining cigarette butt on the ground, put it in your mouth and light it, when the smoke starts to disperse, I suddenly hope that there is someone who can talk to me at this moment people.

But when I really took out my phone from my pocket, I didn’t know who to contact. After all, all I wanted to talk about were complaints, and everyone was busy and working hard. Who would want to be okay? What about the negative energy on me?
So, I resisted the urge to chat and wondered whether this matter could be done or should it be done by myself in front of the Erhai Lake.

……

After half an hour, someone finally took the initiative to send me a message. It was the woman who took up Lu Jia's number. Her reflex arc was long enough, and many things happened in the inn. , but she didn't ask until today.

She said: "No, I remember you told me last time that someone in your inn is willing to take over at a high price. You should have already got the money, right? Didn't you say that you don't want to stay in Dali? What do you say last time?" If so, it seems like you are still fooling around in Dali?"

Someone actually talked to me, but it was to make trouble, I replied with a wry smile: "I didn't get any money, there is a new big project, it just overlaps with the location of our inn, so the inn has to When it was dismantled, the person who originally wanted to take over also quit.”

"I feel like you are a very unlucky person!"

"What is feeling? The truth is...a cooked duck can fly!"

"Haha... You must have done too many bad things in your previous life."

"I did a lot of bad things in my previous life, and I paid it back in my previous life...why do you want to take advantage of my life...I'm really depressed...however, what makes me depressed is not that I couldn't turn the inn around, because later, A few of our shareholders have changed their minds and don’t plan to transfer it, we want to manage it well... But now we are walking, scattered, and finally I am the only one left guarding the inn that is about to be demolished.”

"Are you dying of loneliness?"

"Is it enough to comfort me? Don't keep making sarcastic remarks."

"I don't know how to comfort people. I like to add insult to injury the most."

"That's right...then let's avenge our grievances."

This time, she replied to the message after a while, but she had already changed the subject. She asked me: "By the way, you said you can help me find a house, is there any reason?"

"There is still more than a month until Chinese New Year, why are you in such a hurry?"

"A best friend of mine is going to Dali with me too. I just want to inform you that I need two rooms now."

I wouldn't tell a stranger about the troubles I encountered in renting a house, so I just replied: "Don't worry, the two rooms can also help you..."

"I won't say thank you to you."

I joked, and replied: "I don't think we really know each other well enough, let's talk about it."

This woman didn't reply to my message again, but I was not angry because of her impoliteness. On the contrary, I was a little curious. Such a strange woman also has a best friend. She must be a strange woman too! ?

……

The stronger the wind, the greater my craving for cigarettes. In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked the delivery guy to deliver a box to me on Meituan. When the guy delivered it, I took him to chat with me about about The work of a cigarette.

After the takeaway boy left, I wanted to kill time more and more, but just as I was lighting another cigarette, I actually received an unsolicited message from Ye Zhi, she said: "I chatted last night, I fell asleep while chatting, I'm really sorry."

She is willing to explain this matter to me after a day, proving that she cares about our relationship. Of course I am also happy in my heart, so even though there are only cold words, I still subconsciously replied with a smile: "It's okay...have you arrived in Indonesia?"

"Here we are... having dinner, have you eaten?"

Someone cared, and I realized that I hadn't eaten dinner yet, but in order not to look too lonely in front of Ye Zhi, I still replied very bravely: "I ate, and I had a drink outside with my friends... What did you eat?" ?”

“Buffet in the hotel.”

"Is it delicious?"

“A lot of seafood.”

"Aren't you answering the question a little bit?"

"Then should I take a photo of you?"

"Pictures are more convincing than any explanation, so go ahead and take them."

Ye Zhi really sent me a photo of what she was eating. She is really a pretty delicate woman. Even if it was a buffet, she only took a small amount of food, but the hotel is extremely high-end. If I were to spend so much money on a buffet, I would definitely have to eat enough.

I took a deep breath of the cigarette, and in my loneliness, I suddenly had an idea, so I changed the topic of eating, and sent her a voice message: "After you finish eating later, let's chat on video for a while, I want to watch Look at the sea in Indonesia... I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it, I haven't been abroad yet, let alone look at the sea abroad!"

Ye Zhi didn't refuse me, she asked me to wait for her for a while.

I politely said there was no rush and let her eat slowly... But I was really anxious in my heart, because besides the sea, I also wanted to see her.

……

While waiting for her, I ordered seafood fried rice on Meituan again. This time it was not the takeaway boy from before, but this did not prevent me from wanting to chat with him, so I bought it with another cigarette. he.

For this cigarette, he sat down on the rock beside me. Counting him, this is already the fourth person who chatted with me this night.

The information age is really great!Obviously I am very lonely, but I can use a mobile phone to call two takeaway guys, and I can also chat with them in Shanghai and Indonesia for a while, so what reason do I have to be dissatisfied?

……

The takeaway boy was smoking my cigarette while complaining to me about his life... But I am not impatient. Although I am not a big shot, I am willing to listen to the voices of the people at the bottom, because I and them Same, they are very down-to-earth people...

I will complain about life, feel that my future is bleak, and I will do some things that hurt others and myself for the sake of face, but my heart also longs for beauty and brings happiness to others.Just like the skinny takeaway guy in front of me, I will not only comfort him, but also seriously write him a five-star praise after he completes his work tasks, instead of saying yes and doing nothing .

And in my heart, I don't really feel that I am a very unlucky person. Instead, I feel that these seemingly unlucky experiences are evidence of my real life. After all, we are just ordinary people with flesh and blood, how can we live smoothly? lifetime!If one day, I get lucky, I will look back at my unlucky self today, and I will understand more about the importance of hard work for ordinary people like us.

……

Not long after the delivery boy left, Ye Zhi finally sent me a video invitation. My heart beat a little faster, so I connected to the video after taking a deep breath.
