But unwilling to see the scenery

That night, Yan Ruoyu and Jiang Nuo went back to live in Hushan Manor, Yan Xuetao was also there, and the three of them sat around the dining table to eat, and they squatted under the table.

It is already a serious large dog, and it is not like two dogs when Yan Xuetao first gave Yan Ruoyu. He is still greedy, so he deliberately brought the bowl over and put it beside him, waiting to be fed.Seeing its tail wagging happily, Yan Xuetao put a piece of meat in the bowl from time to time. Yan Ruoyu was not happy with it, saying that dogs cannot eat meat with oil and salt. Yan Xuetao hummed, saying that dogs You can only live for 20 years, why don't you let him have a good time?

Yan Ruoyu: "..."

Yan Ruoyu chooses to shut up, Yan Xuetao is not nobody to talk to, the small bottle in front of Jiang Nuo is empty, he refills it, and the faces of both of them are a little flushed after drinking, Yan Xuetao gets up and wants to take Jiang Nuo there Check out the other rooms in the villa.

Yan Ruoyu originally wanted to accompany him, but Yan Xuetao asked him not to follow, and only went upstairs with Jiang Nuo.There are actually a lot of rooms in the villa. Jiang Nuo didn’t look carefully when he came back last time. After wandering around today, he realized that most of the rooms are living rooms. In fact, there is very little private space. There is only one study room on the second floor that is locked. Yan Xuetao took out the The key opens the door, turns on the light, and the furnishings displayed in front of Jiang Nuo are all old and age-conscious, practicality outweighs aesthetics, which makes the two-person photo painted in later stage on the clean wall a bit awkward, but that photo is the whole room. The most spotless of all.

Yan Xuetao sat in front of the desk, slowly took out a red velvet box inlaid with gold from the drawer, did not open it, and pushed it directly in front of Jiang Nuo, letting him open it by himself.

And when Jiang Nuo took it, seeing the jade bracelet inside, he was so frightened that he wanted to push it back, Yan Xuetao held the backs of his hands and let him hold it.

Jiang Nuo still didn't dare to accept it, Yan Xuetao told him not to be nervous, staring at the photo behind him, said: "This was originally left to Cheng Yingmeng by my wife."

Jiang Nuo turned his head to follow the old man's gaze. In the photo, Yan Xuetao was very young, and the girl next to him was wearing double braids. She wasn't exactly handsome, but her eyes were full of the unique delicacy of Jiangnan women.

"At that time, no one dared to marry me." Yan Xuetao recalled his youth, saying that when he was young, he was notoriously poor in the villages and towns. The belt is still tight, and the girls from all over the world see him as if they are seeing a hungry ghost. Only she is not afraid, and she helps him manage the accounts-there are no big accountants in those days, and the accounts are all calculated by the proprietress. typed out.After the group became large-scale, many processes have been digitized to keep pace with the times, but she still insists on keeping paper backups.How many companies engaged in foreign trade died in anti-dumping. It was she who led the anti-dumping response team, fought a protracted war with the European and American Ministry of Commerce, and finally won the lawsuit with real and open financial data. The price was overwork and [-] million, son And at this time, I am secretly giving a glance to a female star.

Yan Xuetao did not deny that their generation is too busy with their careers and has too little care and company for their children, so there are various follow-up problems.Jiang Nuo, who had been listening silently, took up the conversation and begged him not to blame himself. The demands on parents in this era are also unprecedentedly high, and in that era when there is not enough to eat, love is really a bowl of rice.

Yan Ruoyu patted the back of his hand, praised him for being sensible, and regretted that he was too prejudiced, felt that all actors in movies were unreliable, and opposed the marriage in front of his wife and son every day, and his wife followed her violent temper , I also feel sorry for my son, I don't have many good jewelry, and I am willing to buy an emerald bracelet for my daughter-in-law who has never been married.

"But I didn't send it out..." Yan Xuetao let out a deep breath, held his chest, and said that the next day, his wife suddenly told him that his chest was uncomfortable, tired, and wanted to rest, within a few seconds, just go.

"There is no sign, nothing." Yan Xuetao protected the box through Jiang Nuo's hand, and said that the gift hadn't even been sent out, and the person just disappeared.

"So Xiaoyu has never met his grandma, and I rarely mention it. Whenever I mention it..." Yan Xuetao almost cried, then stabilized his emotions, and solemnly handed over the box to him.

"Live a good life." He reminded, "Don't work too hard on yourself, and don't make Xiaoyu too tired."

Yan Xuetao patted Jiang Nuo on the shoulder, and entrusted him not so much with the bracelet, but with the most beloved person who is still alive in this world.

Jiang Nuo leaned against the door of the bedroom, holding the box with both hands, and after a long time, he finally collected his thoughts, as if he had picked up some burden, he pushed the door open.Yan Ruoyu had already changed into pajama pants.With his upper body naked, he did not lie on the bed bored, but sat in front of the desk, curled up one leg and wrote something under the lamp, then suddenly scratched, tore off the paper with the writing on it, and crumpled it into a ball Throw it in the trash.

Jiang Nuo approached, fished out the ball of paper and flattened it. Yan Ruoyu recorded what he saw and heard in the village today, and the last sentence was "This is Ling'an, and now it is 20xx. in the difference".

This was Yan Ruoyu's first attempt at writing a narrative-style word in Chinese, and Jiang Nuo was about to praise him without thinking, when Yan Ruoyu crossed his hands in front of his chest, his cheeks puffed up, and said: "This is a waste manuscript! "

After he finished speaking, he paced around the room angrily. Jiang Nuo sat on the edge of the bed and heard him suddenly stop walking and said, "I think I am very hypocritical!"

Jiang Nuo didn't speak, and read the lyrics carefully again, Yan Ruoyu continued to walk around sullenly, Jiang Nuo asked: "Do you want to sing this song in the final?"

Yan Ruoyu stopped immediately, stood sideways, and said discouragedly, "I'm not qualified to sing."

"I'm obviously living such a life, and then I, I'm going to sing this? How can I sing it!" Yan Ruoyu opened his arms and pointed at this room, and everything this room represented, for the first time he felt hatred.He lived in a high-rise building for twenty years. His name is Yan Ruoyu. Countless people who don't have this name but are about his age are still struggling in the gutter. Then he found his conscience and began to write about their lives.

"I just want to eat minced meat." Yan Ruoyu was distressed and aggrieved.He desperately wanted to do something, but found that his birth might really be a sin. He alone was rich, and at the same time, there were thousands of people in this world who were poor.

He is not innocent.His conscience won't let him write himself off and attribute the gap between rich and poor to other people not working hard enough.He enjoys the superiority brought by wealth, so he must bear the shame of this superiority placed under the sun.

Yan Ruoyu hugged his head, reluctantly facing Jiang Nuo.He was really on the verge of crying, Jiang Nuo said: "Anyone has the right to write."

Yan Ruoyu didn't think so, threw Jiang Nuo down with a mournful face, and arched into his arms, messing up his hair, then wrinkled his eyes and looked up at Jiang Nuo, sullenly said: "Am I very Useless?"

Jiang Nuo pursed his lips and smiled, and moved his body down to meet Yan Ruoyu's eye level. He ran his fingers across the Batman stick figure tattoo on his chest, and said, "How is it possible, you are Bruce Yan."

Yan Ruo made a foolish smile, lay flat, stared at the jade-covered lamp on the ceiling, talking about Batman was no longer regarded as a canon like in the past.

He even looks at this image dialectically.Batman gave almost everything he had to save Gotham from the villains, and he inspired a lot of people, but if those who are inspired know that behind the mask are billionaires, part of the social machine that exploits them One, would they have Bruce Wayne as a hero?

"Fortunately, you don't have any masks or persona." Jiang Nuo recalled Yan Ruoyu's news lace, and joked, "Others have nothing to disillusion with you, as long as you don't play tricks, it's a bonus."

Yan Ruo smirked, and was about to ask Jiang Nuo if he didn't have any pants, which was too real in his eyes, Jiang Nuo continued, "And you can do more things."

Yan Ruoyu was taken aback, his first reaction was that Jiang Nuo had something in his words, Yan Xuetao called him over for so long, and bribed him with a beautiful box, he must hope that Jiang Nuo would also help persuade him to finish the competition Don't be playful after the game, come back early to take over.

He really had no heart before, and his temper was not stable. Now he is lying on the bed sideways by Jiang Nuo hooked up by the corner of his clothes. Live whatever you love."

Before returning to Shanghai, Jiang Nuo took Yan Ruoyu to Jiang Zhi's new home.

It was a snack street near an industrial area. Due to the new development, the rent was not too expensive. Jiang Qingyun and his wife rented a small shop there to sell Mala Tang. After closing the stall, they lived in the back compartment. Jiang Zhi slept in the attic, which was considered I have my own room.

In order to welcome the two of them, Jiang Zhi's parents closed their business for a day. They originally wanted to invite them to a more expensive high-end restaurant for a meal, but Yan Ruoyu said there was no need to bother, and stood in front of the half-open refrigerator to choose skewers, because he had never eaten them before. , so I am curious about everything and want to try it.

So Auntie Jiang cooked a big pot for him in a very hospitable manner. Five people gathered around a table and took whatever they wanted from the big plate in the middle. Only then did the tongue feel the feeling again, and that expression made the restrained uncles and aunts laugh. Only Jiang Zhi kept eating the rice in his mouth the whole time, said "I'm full", put the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, and then He went upstairs to his room and closed the door with a bang.

"This kid has such a temper, don't worry about him." Aunt Jiang told Yan Ruoyu to continue eating, Yan Ruoyu put two more bites into her mouth, put down her chopsticks, and went upstairs to see Jiang Zhi.

And when he opened the door, there was no light on in the attic, if he didn't walk to the middle, or sit down, Yan Ruoyu would have to bend over all the time.Jiang Zhi turned his head when he heard the commotion, and saw that the person who came was Yan Ruoyu, so he didn't get up, sat by the bedside and turned on a lamp, and the attic without windows was suddenly filled with starry sky.

Yan Ruoyu sat at the end of the bed and looked towards the light source. The starry sky lamp in Jiang Zhi's hand was the same as before. He cherished it very much and kept it properly.

"Why don't you go downstairs and have some more?" Yan Ruoyu actually couldn't find anything to talk about, so he just said that, Jiang Zhi beat him straight to the point, and asked directly: "Are you with my brother?"

Yan Ruoyu opened his mouth, sat down properly, put his hands on his knees, and wanted to explain, Jiang Zhi turned off the starry sky light in his hand, turned it on, turned it off, and turned it on again.

"You..." Jiang Zhi looked at Yan Ruoyu, without blinking his eyes, as if he was declaring war with a knight, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Zhi still remembered how Yan Ruoyu helped Jiang Nuo get ahead in the subway. He felt that Yan Ruoyu might be sincere today, but who could guess what would happen tomorrow, so he interrupted forcefully, with his back straightened, Neither humble nor overbearing said: "I know you are rich, but you don't want to bully my brother."

"How could I possibly bully him..." Yan Ruo smiled foolishly, hoping that his brother-in-law would give him a chance. The brother-in-law defined himself as a brother-in-law. He took a deep breath, as if what he took in was courage, and said firmly, "If you are right If he's not good, I'll bring someone to clean you up."

Yan Ruoyu looked at the boy's face reflecting the starry sky, and the sparkle in his eyes, and said, "It's too late for me to like him, how can I be willing to hurt him."

Jiang Zhi sniffed, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and went downstairs with Yan Ruoyu to continue eating lunch.After dinner, Yan Ruoyu drove back to Shanghai with Jiang Nuo. Jiang Nuo wanted to see the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, so he deliberately changed his way to Ningbo. Before getting on the bridge from the Shenhai Expressway, he could still see the green farmland. The windmills are working in an orderly manner.

Then there was the sea as far as they could see. Jiang Nuo was excited like a child on a long journey, rolled down the car window by ten centimeters, and when he heard the whistling wind outside, he was so frightened that he quickly closed it, a little worried If the banquet is opened so fast, it will be blown away by the wind.

Yan Ruoyu told him not to worry about it, but also reduced the speed of the car by ten yards.Today's weather is not clear enough, the sea is foggy and the visibility is not high, you can only see the endless sea rolling under the bridge.

This is the first time Jiang Nuo has seen the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, with yellowing and rolling sediment.He looked to the left, and the narrow estuary on the map was vast in his eyes. Every year in the middle of August in the lunar calendar, waves as high as water walls would rush into the estuary on the rapids, forming the Qiantang River tide.

This peculiar natural scene was also a difficult problem to face when building the bridge.In addition to salt water, torrents, and high winds, the designer must not only make the bridge withstand the impact of waves, but also ensure that the bridge does not change the water flow passing through the bay to the greatest extent, so as to prevent the historic Qiantang tidal landscape from being destroyed by a bridge.

Now that the bridge is completed, the designed service life is 100 years, and the gold, nine and silver are ten. Tourists still go to the Qiantang River Estuary to watch the tide.Seeing that Jiang Nuo was so novel, Yan Ruoyu drove the car into the service area. The tall tower with wings spread was called Haitian Yizhou. When you climbed to the highest point, you could overlook the entire bridge and the sea area connected to the sky.

Jiang Nuo didn't agree at first, it's really not worth buying a ticket to enter the viewing platform in such weather.Yan Ruoyu restarted the car, pretending to be indifferent and said: "After passing this village, there will be no more shops like this."

Jiang Nuo hesitated for a moment, but still lost to curiosity, got out of the car and bought a ticket, and entered Haitian Yizhou with Yan Ruoyu, and arrived at the sightseeing gallery on the highest floor.If the weather is good, they can overlook Hangzhou Bay through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass, but today there is only fog in front of them, and the bridge is also hidden in gray.Yan Ruoyu was purely accompanying Jiang Nuo to fulfill a wish. He didn't think this ordinary viewing platform was interesting, and even felt bored. He leaned against a telescope in a daze, but Jiang Nuo was fascinated by it. It was only after Yu was not around that he suddenly turned around.

And when Yan Ruoyu met those eyes, he suddenly had a perception that he had never had before, and saw a different scenery.

He approached and stood beside Jiang Nuo, remembering that a science fiction writer once said that it is not uncommon for alien civilizations in the universe to be higher or lower than human beings. The most incredible thing is that there is only human civilization in the universe.

He stared at the 38-kilometer-long sea-crossing bridge in the thick fog today, and suddenly understood the greatness and shock of this conjecture, and when he and Jiang Nuo stood next to each other alive, he had never had such a moment like this In this way, spontaneously, I am proud of being a human being.

He told Jiang Nuo: "Human beings are worth it."

"Why is it suddenly so grand..." Jiang Nuo complained that Yan Ruoyu was serious, smiled, looked at the blurred scenery outside the glass again, and said with relief: "I think it's worth it for the two of us to be like this now."

Yan Ruoyu leaned against him, and kissed the corner of his eye unscrupulously.There was wind and fog in the mountains and seas, he and Jiang Nuo interlocked their fingers and said:

"Then when I finish this last song, we'll go home."
