Enough

Whether Ji Yuanxian's life is going well or not, no one knows except Mrs. Ji in those years.

He went to college step by step, and graduated step by step, but he didn't follow the arrangement of his family step by step to find a fat job.Instead, it was rare to play the rebellion that had not been revealed for more than 20 years, and turned around and took the exam for a civil servant in this city.

I work in the Environmental Protection Bureau, from [-] to [-], and occasionally work overtime.Because of his prominent family background, he received special care from the leader on the first day he took office.Colleagues greeted each other with smiles, and said a few words behind their backs: Look, another master who enjoys happiness.

Ji Yuanxian has changed a lot in the past few years, as if the people from Lizhengchuan left, the aloofness and indifference left behind have all attached to Ji Yuanxian.How did you say that sentence, after you leave, I will become you.

His life was monotonous, and at first he gave politics a little thought.Ji Yuan still remembers that in high school back then, Li Zhengchuan grabbed his shoulders and told him with burning eyes: If you want to change, then enter this circle.To do a clean stream, and then fight.

This remark was a slap in the face. When his senior year was approaching his internship, Ji Yuanxian wanted to talk to Mrs. Ji, he was going to be an official.The reason for giving up later was also very simple. The one who was in power, a certain embezzler surnamed Lai who had been at large, returned to China with a high profile.Because of the same position and the same party, the case that has been pursued for more than ten years has been dropped.No one cares anymore.

Mrs. Ji said that if you want to be in politics, you have to accept the unbearable filth.Or be an upright official, but you are destined not to climb up.

These words were exaggerated, but Ji Yuan now knew that he was right.

People assign hopes and dreams to expectations, and then project them into reality, and unreliable dreams meet death.In the end, it turned into a joke in life, a narrative essay.

Ji Yuan now feels that his current life is quite good, peaceful and without disturbance.

Mrs. Ji will face retirement in a few years, and she will be at home in the future, and her financial resources will depend entirely on Ji Yuanxian.Although the family is big and the business is big, every son of a bureaucrat can inherit such a huge inheritance.However, this did not give Ji Yuan a sense of security.

A few years ago, Ji Yuan now sold two properties, and then re-purchased three small new houses on the second ring road and one villa on the fourth ring road.After the new house is simplified, it will be rented to the nearby office workers.The villa is kept by myself, and I haven't figured out how to deal with it for the time being.

Housing prices have soared year after year, and they can't come down in one breath.

At a certain unit gathering, a colleague teased Ji Yuanxian, is the current salary enough for the young master to spend half a month?

Ji Yuan is now drinking, and usually wears gold-rimmed glasses to pretend to be gentle.He grinned and said: "It should be enough. The monthly salary is nearly three thousand, which is just enough for half a month's money for my golden retriever. The rent can be charged three times, and my asking price is not high. Eight thousand a month, it works out to be twenty thousand a month." [-]. As long as I don’t gamble, don’t prostitute or spend money, even if I don’t go to work, I can drive and collect rent to live.”

"I won't bother you."

This incident later became a good story among colleagues, saying that ordinary people are still struggling in the sea of ​​houses, but Young Master Ren was born at that height, so what is there to show off?

The relationship is not good, Ji Yuan doesn't care now, he has long been too lazy to bother to balance everyone.People are different, thinking, situation, and three views, why bother to integrate.

The bowl of water that was flat back then is now sprinkled with cracked water, Ji Yuanxian can't let a few people go in his eyes.

It is strange to say that young people who are full of ambitions to travel the world end up staying where they are.None of the people who promised to stay together at the beginning came back.

As soon as Qin Yu entered Shu, he felt like a fish in water, and lived happily for four years. City C's Fengshui treasure land, the land of abundance.The pace of life is slow, and the cultural atmosphere is too good.In the past few years, it has just squeezed into first-tier cities, and development opportunities are everywhere.

"The digital economic war is detonated. It makes no sense not to come here to get a share. Now, why don't you resign your official position and follow me into the sea, ah!"

"Win the young model in the clubhouse, lose and go to work in the sea!"

Ji Yuanxian: ...

What sea?Your mother explained clearly!

Ji Yuan was now worried, and he would look at him with admiration for three days, why Qin Yu was still as stupid as he was back then.After graduating from university, he thought that Qin Yu should come back this time, but who knew that guy would run across the country, saying that he was hiding from debts - Lin Chenhai.

Brother Xian suddenly remembered vaguely that when he participated in a business competition in the second year of high school, he drank too much that night at the business banquet, and something "out of the ordinary" happened to everyone.As for to what extent, only they themselves know.

"Okay, the passionate society depends on everyone, I'll go far to keep healthy."

Ji Yuan now had an elite face, ready to hang up Qin Yu's phone.

The other party suddenly asked: "Hey, so what. My brother, you haven't contacted Li Zhengchuan yet? I have a project here, and I have a relationship with a relative of his family..."

Ji Yuanxian interrupted him: "I don't know, I don't know, is there anything else?"

Qin Yu: ...

He felt that Ji Yuan had really changed now, he was really a child before.Not only is his mouth unpopular, but his behavior is also really hooligan.

Today's Ji Yuanxian is a pseudo-elite who "dislikes honesty in mouth".Talking about five stresses and four beauties on the lips, thinking about being anti-social and anti-human.Not cute at all.

Ji Yuan now often feels that he is in a dream, and he can't figure out whether the previous 18 years were a dream, or whether he has been living in an illusion for the past few years.He also secretly sent a message to Li Zhengchuan, but as expected, he was blocked early.

Then he shifted positions, writing an occasional email or two.Specially selected holidays to send, pretending to be congratulatory emails sent inadvertently.

Also unsurprisingly, the email went nowhere.

Ji Yuan now often stares at Chuxue alone, thinking of the last winter before they parted.Sometimes frost fell on the leaves in the garden, and when Ji Yuan returned home after socializing, he thought it was the first snow coming, and thought it was the magnolia blossoms.

He leaned against the door of his house and wiped his face.Just like every time he met Chuxue, he thought that Li Zhengchuan was coming back.

The elders in the family had introduced some girls before and after, and now Ji Yuan picked a good time for Chinese New Year, when he was toasting his grandparents, he came out of the closet by the way.

He didn't quite remember the audience's reaction, only Mrs. Ji whispered angrily in his ears: "Ji Yuanxian, are you crazy!"

"Yes, Mom, so don't think about me getting married. I finally endured it for so many years and didn't go to him. Resisted the urge to rely on him and occupy him. "

"Just stop asking that question, okay?"

Ji Yuan is now punishing himself with three cups. He knew that Mr. Ji couldn't stand it for a while, so he didn't return to the capital for several years.He had thought about thousands of ways to come out, but in the end he chose the most steadfast one.

Life is sometimes ridiculous. When you are young, you look forward and backward, but when you grow up, you see it very openly.Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He arranges the older generation well and fulfills his filial piety, so why sacrifice himself.

In the end, I still blamed myself for not being independent back then, and I couldn't speak hard words, so I naturally had no confidence.

Ji Yuanxian hadn't gotten out of Lizhengchuan's demon for a long time, and he was extremely ashamed and sad.

"Actually, I have always blamed myself and always thought that it was my fault for making Lizheng Chuan wronged and making him cry." When Ji Yuanxian and Gu Xi made cross-ocean phone calls, they occasionally mentioned, "I really don't want to hurt him, But I didn't."

After Gu Xi went to Europe, the Gu family went south.The communication between the two families has decreased, and Mrs. Ji chanted a few words of care from time to time.

This kid has really touched the door of the new world. He never came back when he went to Europe.It's like the sentence at the beginning: I want to guard Ji Yuanxian.It's just a joke when I was young and drunk.

There are not many long-term lovers in this world, Ji Yuanxian doesn't think he can meet them.

Good brothers are still good brothers, we haven't seen each other for several years, and we only see each other in videos.Then a few words of ridicule, you boy, you are handsome again.

Gu Xi is so handsome, he was obedient when he was a child, and when he grows up, he runs wildly on the road that is harmless to humans and animals.Anyone who sees him feels good about him, and he is known as the Romeo of the East.

"Come on, don't talk about it commercially. This tongue is really an officialdom, it's too oily." Gu Xi grinned, "According to you, whoever meets me will like me, and become a genius with the airplane cup?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk" through the screen.

"Tell my brother, who did you learn from. Have a boyfriend?"

"Get out," Gu Xi didn't bother to explain her nasty jokes, and seemed to remember something, and frowned, "I met a special man who I hate again."

"Mercury retrograde, fleeting year is unfavorable."

Ji Yuan didn't ask who that person was, he felt that Gu Xi was in good condition now.He has played all over Europe, and it is said that he toured the United States with the orchestra in the first two years.

Gu Xi lived a chic life, she didn't say that she would come back to take over the family business, and she didn't say which way she would go in the future.There are many beautiful boys in Europe, and there is no shortage of suitors.Gu Xi tried several relationships, but they all ended without a problem.

Love is something that can never be forced.

"He said that he didn't like that hexagram, which hexagram? How do I know?"

Ji Yuan is currently picking up Qin Yu at the airport, the road is stuck in traffic, and the two chatted.

After eight years of absence, Young Master Qin was finally willing to go back to S city.This man was dressed in an Italian suit, and he looked like a libertine from head to toe.

"It's not me, now. You can't do it, ah. If you don't drive a Lamborghini Porsche, you can get a low-key Phaeton anyway. This Volkswagen really can't see it. Just now you asked me to get in the car, and I wondered if I didn't. Drip."

Ji Yuanxian: ...

Didi Taxi does not take the blame.

So he opened his mouth, "If you talk nonsense, go on."

Qin Yu immediately confessed, "Don't, my brother, it's because of our crotch and hair. By the way, you can't really eat the bowl of rice from the civil servants, can you be full?"

"Actually, civil servants were well-fed at the beginning, but later prices rose too abnormally, so they became serving the people."

Ji Yuan kept his eyes straight and flicked Qin Yu in a serious manner.

"So, is Young Master Qin planning to help the poor as well? Don't be too busy. When I go back and open a crowdfunding post, it just so happens that the government departments are doing some love activities this month."

"Just donate a small amount, 80, and I will write my name."

Qin Yu: "Have you reaped all the benefits of co-authorship?"

"Is there a problem?" Ji Yuanxian glanced at him with a half-smile, "Are you still talking about this?"

Well, it turned out that the job position was Uncle Ji's reverse.

Qin Yu could only settle for the next best thing: "Then you should have some side jobs."

"A side job——" Ji Yuan was about to continue making jokes when his friends reunited for many years and temporarily took off his cold social mask.The re-export was serious, "There is one thing. I invested in an old-fashioned theater in the north of the city."

"Xiyuanzi? Just sing Peking opera and Kunqu opera?" Qin Yu rubbed his chin, stupefied that he didn't connect Ji Yuanxian with Liyuan business, "Didn't this bother you the most when you were young? What kind of words are slow and the tune is boring. What do you think?"

There was a red light ahead, and it took an hour to move.Ji Yuan was not in a hurry, and put his hands on the steering wheel.

"I can't explain this kind of thing. You didn't hate art at the beginning. What kind of contemporary art tour is going on now, and the partner didn't realize that you have no art in your belly, which is insulting to gentleness?"

"Hey, it's just a gimmick. People's lives are better, their spiritual pursuits are higher, and there are many arty people. Serious and knowledgeable people seldom watch this kind of commercial exhibition." Qin Yu spoke clearly, and he was very good at profiteers. Never be ashamed.

"I'm here for money, why are you here?"

"Me? No reason," Ji Yuan now followed the traffic ahead, speaking slowly as if stuck in a traffic jam, "by chance, I went to the old theater in the north of the city. There were not many fans at that time, and the big theater was empty and quiet. lively."

"There was a male actress on the stage, singing about a drunken concubine. To be honest, it was breathtakingly beautiful. I thought that no matter what, I couldn't make this beauty disappear, so I turned around and went to the general manager."

Qin Yu stared: "Hey, you are co-authoring it out of lust, and I thought I was paying for it."

"...Yuzi, you really want to get out of the car, don't you?" Ji Yuan took a breath and asked with a smile.

Qin Yu shrank his neck, hugged the seat belt and shook his head.But he was ignorant of current affairs and was as quiet as a chicken, "Now, you fucking keep an actor? Are you emotional, and you still play the Republic of China!"

Ji Yuan laughed loudly: "Fart, I don't have this hobby."

"Come on, don't say you haven't been in love these years. How do you solve your physical problems, huh?"

"I haven't really talked about love. I have met a few times intermittently, and it feels wrong. I don't have a deep friendship." Ji Yuanxian said, "Plus, my needs are not strong. I really think about it. I can just make do with it."

"There's no need to have friends with benefits to show that you're a normal adult."

This time Qin Yu suppressed his smile, frowned, and said solemnly: "Now, you must be frigid."

Ji Yuanxian: ...

He parked his car passionately on Xiange Street and helped Qin Yu open the car door.With a movement of his thin lips like a blade, he uttered two words coldly: "Get out of the car."

In September of the same year, Gu Xi, who had been romantically in Europe for eight years, returned to China for the first time.Ji Yuanxian went to pick him up with Qin Yu, and almost didn't recognize him when they met at the airport.

Gu Xi is tall and slender, and her clothes are European and American.Pushing a luggage cart and carrying a cello.He came from afar, overlapping with the young man who left so gracefully back then.

The three reunited, although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there were still countless topics to talk about.Qin Yu said that good brothers would go together for life, but Ji Yuan now told him to get out of the car again.Noisy and noisy, finally decided to go to Ji's house for dinner.

Before entering the door, Qin Yu entered the password.Ji Yuan now wears headphones to listen to the music, and lowers his head to swipe his phone to reply to work messages.The two bickered as usual, and they were fighting with each other, which was exciting.

Gu Xi, who hadn't interrupted all this time, suddenly asked: "Yuan Bao, do you know that Li Zhengchuan is coming back this year."

"The end of December."

The two fell silent for a moment, and Qin Yu swallowed back the joke stuck in his throat.

Ji Yuan was motionless, as if he didn't understand the meaning of these words at all.

Peking opera was playing in his earphones, Boss Chi's voice was indescribably beautiful, and the aria was playing——

This is life is unpredictable. (Note)

Note:

① "This is the unpredictability of life", "Suo Lin Nang", the old seven people prefer Boss Chi Xiaoqiu.
