No.70 days

At [-]:[-] p.m., Shao Wu received a WeChat message from Zhu Jingjing.She said the wedding was over.

At this time, Shao Wu had already counted the paper threads in the wedding candy box, there were 572 in total, and he counted them 9 times.

Shao Wu asked, how was the wedding going?

Zhu Jingjing said, it's good, Yang Shuyi's mother-in-law is very happy...

Shao Wu back, that's good.

Then he put down his phone, and dumped all the raffia papers that he had arranged neatly into the trash can.

Two days later, on January NO.19, Wu Yan was discharged from the hospital.Wang Yujun returned to work in Chengdu, while Shao Wu had already submitted his resignation to the boss, and the other party readily agreed, and made an appointment with Shao Wu to complete the formalities later.So Shao Wu can wait until the Spring Festival is over before going to Zhuhai. During the middle half a month, he just stays at home to take care of Wu Yan.Although she was discharged from the hospital, she still needed to lie down and rest, and Shao Wu had to do trivial housework such as grocery shopping and cooking.

Psychologists say it only takes 21 days to form a habit.So what about quitting a habit?Shao Wu set a rule for himself, if he could resist checking Yang Shuyi's Weibo, Moments and Dianping for a whole day, then he would reward himself with a cigarette when he went out to buy groceries the next day.For the time being, he can't think of him all day, let alone control how often he thinks of him, but things on the phone can always be controlled.Taking a step back, smoking and peeping at Yang Shuyi, he can always quit one of these two habits, right?

Shaowu doesn't pick cigarettes, he smokes whatever he buys, most domestic cigarettes come in a pack of 20.From January No.17 Yang Shuyi got married to February 20th New Year's Eve, during the [-] days, he smoked a pack of Ruan Yuxi.

In other words, he has persisted for a full 20 days.Weibo was not uninstalled, Yang Shuyi's WeChat was not blocked, and Dianping's URL was still in the favorites bar of the browser.If blacklisting and uninstalling are helpless escapes, then he just wants to give himself a chance to choose, they are there, he always has the opportunity to choose, he can choose to watch or not to watch, of course he held back——like this The "hold back" is meaningful.

Shao Wu occasionally feels that he is bored, is there any need for such a bluff?Like a child playing house.

But during the years when he was in love with Yang Shuyi secretly or openly, most of the things he did were just like this, whether he could bear it or not, whether he went or not, he was fighting with himself alone in silence.The only exception was Yang Shuyi's wedding.Yang Shuyi respectfully gave him one word, love.But in this case, how could he watch Yang Shuyi get married?So he fled in despair, which was probably the result of colluding with Yang Shuyi.

February [-]th, New Year's Eve.Wang Yujun returned to Yongchuan again, this time he drove back, it is said that he borrowed a friend's car, and the friend went on a trip.Shao Wu used the New Year's goods he brought back to cook a table of dishes, including garlic prawns, braised tilapia, scallion fried lamb, pea tip stewed meatball soup, tamales, and a plate of ground delicacies.Wang Yujun walked around the kitchen Shi Shiran with arms folded, and praised: "Your skills are good."

Shao Wu said with a smile: "I also learned it online." During the 20 days of taking care of his mother, he learned a lot of dishes.

Wang Yujun pasted the word "Fu" on every door in his house, and hung two red lanterns on the balcony, which were so bright red.As a result, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year became intense in an instant. At seven o'clock in the evening, Shao Wu set up the dishes and chopsticks, and the family of three had dinner.This is the first time that the three of them, mother and son, celebrate the New Year together.Wu Yan raised the glass and said solemnly: "Yujun, Shaowu, it will be a new year soon, no matter what setbacks we have experienced before, a new year, a new beginning!"

Shao Wu and Wang Yujun also raised their glasses, and the three of them made a crisp sound when their glasses collided.

"Mom, Xiao Shao," Wang Yujun said, "I wish you a happy new year."

Shao Wu said: "Happy New Year!"

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Yujun cut a large plate of fruit, and the three of them chatted while eating the fruit, watching the Spring Festival Gala.They had been apart for too long, and there were too many things to talk about.Until after two o'clock in the morning, Shao Wu fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

On the first day of the new year, Shao Wu and Wang Yujun went to the movies with their mother.They bought the morning show and planned to eat hot pot after watching it.So when I went out in the morning, there was still the sulfurous smell of firecrackers in the air, Wu Yan frowned, and said casually: "These people, they told you not to set off firecrackers, and they still secretly set off firecrackers."

Of course Shao Wu also smelled that smell, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that yesterday he could have smoked a cigarette, but he forgot.

So from the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Wu changed the rules and insisted on smoking a cigarette for two days.

He thought that if his self-control is strong enough and the time is long enough, then maybe he can quit smoking while slowly forgetting about Yang Shuyi.This is the best of both worlds.

February NO.15, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shao Wu went back to Zhuhai to complete the resignation procedures, and went back to Chen Yimang's house to pack his things.Chen Yimang was filming an advertisement in France, and when he returned from an overseas call, he asked Shao Wu, "Are you going back to Chongqing?"

"Well," Shao Wu said, "let's go back and find a job... Thank you for this time, Yimang."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Chen Yimang smiled, "Have a good trip."

"when are you going back?"

"I……"

"You haven't been back to Chongqing for several years, right?" Shao Wu calculated that it had been four years since Chen Yimang went to Shanghai in his junior year.

"Too busy," Chen Yimang said vaguely, "Let's talk when you have time."

"I brought you some bacon and frozen it in the refrigerator."

"Okay, okay——tell me to put on makeup, let's do this first."

"Well, go get busy."

Shao Wu hung up the phone, looked around the room where he had lived for a year and a half, and let out a long breath after a while.

On March 40st, four days after Yang Shuyi got married, Shao Wu's rule changed to one cigarette for three days.He started to work for an overseas study agency in Yubei District, and the job was introduced by the boss in Zhuhai.Shao Wu rented a house on the top floor, in a family courtyard of a factory with some history, the seventh floor is not very high.

Because it is the top floor, the house includes a roof.When he had nothing to do, Shao Wu cleaned up the sundries on the roof, and pulled out the half-meter-high weeds one by one. He bought a few pots of cactus and put them on the roof. On sunny days, he can lie leisurely on a chair, bask in the sun and drink tea.

March NO.20, the vernal equinox, Zhu Jingjing was sent by the school to study in Chongqing, so she stopped by to find Shao Wu for dinner—with her boyfriend.It was a boy in 93, two years younger than them, who had just applied to No. [-] Middle School last year to teach physics.The three chatted happily and finished a bottle of wine.On the way to send them to Shapingba Railway Station, while her boyfriend was shopping for water, Shao Wu said with a smile, "He's a nice guy. When you get married, I'll definitely pack a big one."

Zhu Jingjing also said with a smile, "Then you should pack a big red envelope."

At this time, Shaowu's rule has changed to one cigarette every four days, and he no longer carries cigarettes with him.He felt that everything was going well, whether it was life or the process of forgetting Yang Shuyi, everything went smoothly.If it continues, it will gradually become one cigarette every five days, one cigarette every ten days, and one cigarette a month—maybe when it reaches one cigarette a month, it means that he has successfully quit smoking?

As long as the time is long enough, he can always smooth that horn slowly like an animal with long horns.

On the morning of March 24th, just after correcting a document, Shao Wu was about to make a cup of coffee when his phone rang.His first reaction was that the student's parents came to remind him again yesterday?

It's Longlong.

Shao Wu got up, took the mobile phone and walked to the balcony of the office.

"Hey?"

"Brother Shao..."

Thank goodness, it was Longlong, not Yang Shuyi.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"I don't know what to do," she didn't cry, but her voice visibly trembled, "I can't reach my brother."

Shao Wu was stunned for a moment: "Can't get in touch?"

"A few days ago, he said that he was on a business trip to Liangshan. Today I called him, but the phone kept turning off... I, I saw the news that there was a landslide in Liangshan Prefecture."
