Sad autumn

Chapter 9

Opened the door, left a door for Tuchun, changed the slippers, turned around and asked Tuchun: "Take off your shoes, don't forget the slippers, the ground is hard, get your breakfast ready, eat something." (Take off your shoes and don't forget Wear slippers, the ground is cold, breakfast is ready, eat some.)

Jasmine shuffled to the sofa and sat down.

Tuchun glanced at the dining table. Egg pancakes, meat buns, rose buns, braised eggs, braised dried beans, and cherries stained with water were all placed on the table.

Jasmine remembered something, raised her head and said to Tuchun, "You can call my father." (You call your father.)

Tuchun said: "Did you hit Tut just now?" (Didn't you hit him just now?)

Jasmine lowered her eyes, put her hands together, leaned on the sofa, and said, "A woman picked up just now." (It was a woman who picked up just now.)

Tuchun sat down at the dining table. He used his mobile phone to call Tuqing. Tuqing answered, but he didn't speak, and the sound of heavy breathing came from the receiver.Tuchun looked at Jasmine and said, "Dad, pick it up..." (Dad picked it up...)

Jasmine clenched her hands tightly, and said, "Shout you so much and come back here." (Let him come back now.)

Tuchun nodded, and said to Tuqing, "Mother, please turn around."

Tu Qingdan responded and hung up the phone without saying a word.Jasmine let go of her hands, stroked her knees, glanced at Tuchun, and asked him, "Enlangang...what are you talking about?" (Did he...say anything?)

Tuchun shook his head, put one arm on the table, and gently put down the phone.He and Jasmine stopped ringing. After a while, the sun became warmer and the room became brighter. Jasmine went to the bedroom and took out a small book with a leather cover.She sat next to the landline, put on her reading glasses, opened the leather book, and compared the contents in the book to make a phone call.The phone was connected, and a smile appeared on Jasmine's dull, empty face, and she said politely in Mandarin with a strong Su accent: "Hello, is it Lawyer Gao? Hey, yes, yes, it's me ,Hello."

Tuchun poured a glass of warm water, drank half of it, picked up a meat bun and took a bite. The bun was still warm, and the meat inside was steaming.

Jasmine's voice was very far away from him.

Tuchun asked: "Ah, is it a big garden bag? Did you buy it yesterday?" (Is it a big garden bag? Did you buy it yesterday?)

Jasmine didn't answer, she was still talking on the phone, but the person she was talking to was no longer Lawyer Gao, she was calling her little sister Fang Fang, and she said, "Yeah, I know, um, use Fogger, thia Do you want to talk to me... Ah Mengbai, others are easy to talk about, son?" Jasmine looked at Tuchun, "Son, hey, I just got off work," she looked away immediately, and put her fingers into the receiver coil to type Turn around, "I... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." Son? My son is here, just off work, me, what should I say, alas, there is nothing to talk about...)

After Tuchun finished eating a meat bun, he reached out for a bun stuffed with roses, and took a bite, filling his mouth with sweet rose sauce.He ate the buns silently, while Jasmine and Fangfang talked in a low voice. After talking, someone knocked on the door. Tuchun stood up, and Jasmine motioned him to sit down. Door.It was Fangfang and her husband Ah Er who came.The two were changing slippers at the door, and Fangfang greeted Tuchun: "Haohao, let's have breakfast."

Ah Er also nodded at Tuchun: "Chang Yuan, please take a look." (Long time no see.)

Tuchun said: "Aunt Fangfang, Uncle Second, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat together?" (Aunt Fangfang, Uncle Second, have you had breakfast? Would you like to have some together?)

Fangfang waved her hands, smiled, and went to the living room with Jasmine to sit down.Tuchun made three cups of tea for them, brought them over and put them on the tea table, Ah Er hurriedly expressed his thanks, Tuchun asked Jasmine: "Mum, what do you want to eat?"

Jasmine covered her stomach, her brows were furrowed, and she said, "I don't have any appetite, just eat, I'll wait." (I don't have any appetite, just eat, I'll wait.)

Tuchun then sat back to deal with the table of early snacks.Fangfang and Jasmine were sitting next to each other, and Ah Er was sitting on a single-seater sofa. The three of them were talking, but Tuchun couldn't hear clearly. He concentrated on chewing dried tofu, eating marinated eggs, and tearing open finger cakes. , One by one stuffed into the mouth.After finishing the warm water, he poured a cup of hot water, and the more he ate, the more he ate. He swept away the buns on the table, and before he could swallow the buns in his mouth, he reached out for another marinated egg.

Tuqing is back.He took the key to open the door and stood at the porch, first glanced at Tuchun, then looked at the living room, he didn't go any further, and said: "I'll turn around, get something..." (I came back , get something...)

Jasmine looked at him, nodded, then immediately turned her face away and lowered her head.

Tu Qing went to look at Tu Chun again, Tu Chun was devouring finger cakes, and as soon as Tu Qing's eyes met, both of them looked away.Tu Qing took a small step, Ah Er jumped up from the sofa, rushed in front of him in three steps at a time, grabbed Tu Qing by the collar and said angrily: "You look like a little bitch, I'll beat you to death!" Wow!!" (Son of a bitch, I'll kill you!)

Fangfang hurriedly went to persuade the fight: "Good tut, good tut, if you have any gossip, please speak up!" (Okay, okay, if you have something to say!)

Jasmine then got up to persuade, trying to separate Tu Qing and Ah Er, but Ah Er was so strong that he grabbed Tu Qing back and forth.

"Good tut! Good tut!"

"Don't you want to tsk! Good tsk!"

Tuchun raised his head to pour water, patted his chest, and swallowed the handbread stuck in his throat.There are only two bowls of cherries left on the table.

After being punched by Ah Er twice, Tu Qing lost his temper, and shouted: "If I take some of my things, I won't complain about anything?! It's my house!!" (What if I take some of my things? Like? This house is mine!!)

The blue veins on Ah Er's forehead were throbbing wildly, and he pinched Tu Qing's neck and slobbered wildly: "What, what? Do you still want a house?? Go to the court to file a lawsuit, don't you want to pay a penny! Dreaming! Dog rub!" (What? You still want a house? Go to the court to fight a lawsuit, you don't even think about a penny! Dreaming! Damn it!)

Jasmine grabbed Ah Er's arm and said, "Let Enlang take whatever he wants! Let Enlang take it!" (Let him take what he wants! Let him take it!)

Her voice was trembling, her eyes were red.

Tuchun grabbed a bowl of cherries and ate them so hard that he bit the cherry stones with his teeth several times, which made his gums hurt.

Fang Fang pulled Ah Er away with all her strength, Tu Qing panted and leaned against the wall, and said, "A house... There is a new house under my son's name. Tsk, I'm sure I'm going to be tricked, I'm sure I'm going to move because of family reasons, I'm sure I'm going to move, huh..." (A house... my son has a new house in Linglong Bay, and when he lives there, he'll be fine Alright. My relatives live here, so if you want to move, it’s definitely not me, you...)

Ah Er was about to have another attack, Tuchun spit out the last cherry stone, rushed into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, grabbed two bottles of undrinked yogurt, rushed to the living room, and smashed them on the floor.The glass bottle just shattered at Tuqing's feet.

Everyone was startled and looked at each other in blank dismay, Tu Qing immediately stopped talking.

Tuchun pointed at the door: "Help me out!" (Get out for me!)

Tu Qinggan swallowed his saliva and did not move, Tu Chun raised his eyes to look at him, Tu Qing flinched, didn't say anything, and walked away dejectedly.

Fangfang came out in good time to smooth things over and said, "Okay, ok, let's take a break." (Okay, okay, let's take a break.)

Jasmine murmured twice, took a broom and a dustpan to clean up the yogurt and glass debris on the ground, Fang Fang went to help, Tu Chun touched her stomach with one hand, stood with her head down, leaning on the sofa, Ah Er came over to take a picture Get off him and say softly: "Next time, I will help Endom's mother to make a good call, you know?" (You and your mother will be good in the future, you know?)

Tuchun nodded, took a trash can and put it at Jasmine's feet, and bent down to pick up the large pieces of glass.Jasmine stopped him and said, "Go to sleep, you have to eat and work hard on the night shift." (Go to sleep, you will be exhausted on the night shift.)

Tuchun didn't ring and didn't get up. At this time, his mobile phone on the dining table rang, and he didn't even look at it. He just picked up the glass. Fangfang and Jasmine exchanged glances, and Fangfang went to get Tuchun's mobile phone. , Handed it to him, Jasmine said: "Will you answer the phone? What if Gu Yun is looking for you?" (Why don't you answer the phone? What if Gu Yun is looking for you?)

Fangfang smiled and arched Tuchun's arm: "I mean, why don't you show Gu Yun one by one to Aunt Fangfang?" see?)

Tuchun took the phone, the caller was not Gu Yun, but Gu Xiaohao, who was also surnamed Gu.Tuchun asked, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" (Brother-in-law, what's the matter?)

"Come in the house?" Gu Xiaohao's voice was very deep, Tuchun covered the receiver and said to Jasmine, "Old Gu, why don't you talk to me?" (Are you at home?) (It's Lao Gu, you and Did you say so modestly?)

Jasmine shook her head vigorously, waved her hands vigorously, and said in a very low voice, "Do you want to talk about it first!" (Don't talk about it yet.)

Tuchun then said: "Just arrived at the house." (Just arrived home.)

Gu Xiaohao said "Oh", then continued to speak after hesitation, and said, "A Japanese, Suzuki, committed suicide in a hotel in Gansu."

Tuchun got up, lowered his hands, stood facing the wall, and asked, "What?"

Gu Xiaohao spoke in Suzhou dialect interspersed with Mandarin: "It's a Suzuki, I went to find Sun Ce's tomb in the middle of the night, and I forgot to take off my tusk? Did you still ask me to translate his book? It was him who committed suicide, and two policemen came from Gansu to understand the situation, you are free, come over now if you are free."

Tuchun nodded humbly: "Okay, I'll come here now." He turned his head and said to Jasmine: "Mom, if there is anything in the police station, I will go there." (something happened at the police station, I will go there now trip.)

"Geme, let's go." Fang Fang smiled and waved to Tuchun, "Auntie is helping uncle, let's go and take care of things." (Auntie and uncle are here, so go and do your own things. )

Tuchun still looked at Jasmine: "Eat some breakfast, if you want to eat something." (Eat some breakfast, don't skip food.)

Ah Er smiled and said: "The breakfast is eaten up! I'll go down and buy some!" (You've eaten up the breakfast! I'll go down and buy some!)

Fang Fang gave Ah Er some loose money, and said, "Let's buy some soup dumplings."

Ah Er clutched the money and went out with Tu Chun.The two lit cigarettes in the corridor, and when they went downstairs, Ah Er and Tu Chun said: "If you have free time, spend time with Mother En Duo Mu. Let each other be kind, and get angry if you are bored." Spend more time with your mother, she is bored by herself.)

Tuchun said: "Well. It's so early in the morning. Uncle called my aunt over. I'm so sorry..."

A'er said: "Hey, what's the matter, mother En Duomu help Aunt Fangfang, how old is the little sister?" He smiled boldly, patted Tuchun on the back, and said, "It's because I got married. It's a pity!"

(What's the matter, your mother and your aunt Fangfang have been little sisters for many years.) (It's a pity that they didn't get married.)

Tuchun smiled, and when it came time to part, Ah Er did not forget to tell Tuchun: "Scream well, you know." (Okay, do you know?)

Tuchun nodded and agreed well.He pushed the bicycle out of the garage, stood downstairs at home, and massaged his swollen belly for a while, until he burped before he stepped on the bicycle.

Suzuki committed suicide in a small hotel in Dunhuang, and he left a suicide note. The two policemen from Gansu brought a copy of the suicide note. Tuchun looked at it, and there were only two sentences in Japanese:

Sorry to trouble you guys, let me be capricious one last time.

Mom, here I come.

Tuchun said: "He told me that his mother passed away, I guess not long ago."

Gu Xiaohao was eating a cigarette in the meeting room, and said, "That would be suicide, I miss my loved ones so much."

Tu Chun mentioned: "He also resigned, and on the night he came to Suzhou, it seemed that the relationship with his colleagues in the company was not very harmonious."

Gu Xiaohao became more determined: "That must be it." He wrung his fingers and analyzed logically, "One, a loved one died, and I was sad; two, I didn't get along well with my colleagues and was depressed; three, I was alone Traveling outside, those tourist attractions are all in groups, and seeing everyone reunited and happy, I must feel uncomfortable."

The policemen from Gansu also agreed with him. One of them drank a big sip of tea and smoked a big cigarette, and said, "I have all my wallet and passport, and I haven't lost my camera. Anyway, it doesn't look like being missed by thieves. How to die..."

Another policeman interrupted him, saying: "That's it, thank you for your cooperation, let's go first."

Gu Xiaohao got up to shake hands with them, and asked with a smile: "Ah, want to have lunch together? Take the two of you to try authentic Subang cuisine."

Tuchun muttered, "Isn't it too early for lunch?"

Gu Xiaohao didn't look at him, and exchanged greetings with the two policemen: "I'll find someone to accompany you two to walk around, come, come, this way."

He led the people out of the conference room. Tuchun was still sitting, playing with his fingernails for a while, and lowered his head to touch the conference table. The wooden table was waxed and smooth to the touch. The window of the conference room was open, and I don't know if it's a reflection of a tree or a cloud floating by.

A ray of hot wind blows in, and Tuchun turns his head to look out.

The tree is very low, the cloud is very high, and only rows of anti-theft windows can be seen nearby. Red underwear and white quilts are drying outside the windows, facing the sun.

Maotou came in to say hello to Tuchun: "Old Gu said you can go." Maotou also said, "Oh, yes, he also said that the translator doesn't need to be translated anymore, it's no longer needed."

Tuchun went downstairs, lit a cigarette outside, and ate cigarettes while pushing the bicycle.He called An Hao, and as soon as An Hao answered, he asked him: "Where are you now, can I go to your place?"

An Hao sounded like he hadn't woken up yet, and he spoke slowly: "I'm in the warehouse...it was all night yesterday, why did you come here?" He smiled, "Don't talk about coming here by bicycle? I'm going to kill you .”

Tuchun said: "I'll take a taxi, you wait for me." He shook the ashes of a cigarette between his hands, and asked a little more, "Ah, I want to bring you breakfast?"

An Hao yawned: "Okay."

Tuchun pushed the bicycle back to the gate of the police station, locked it, walked to the main road and found a stall selling pancakes, ordered a pancake, added two eggs, got a cup of soy milk, and took a taxi to An Hao's warehouse.

An Hao was waiting for him at the gate of the warehouse. He was dressed coolly, with a vest and a pair of boxer shorts with strong Hawaiian style, and flip-flops on his feet.Tuchun got out of the car and handed him the pancake fruit. An Hao sniffed and took a big bite while holding the plastic bag.Tuchun poked the straw into the soy milk cup, and before he could hand it over, An Hao leaned over, bit the straw and gulped down the soy milk, drank half of the cup in one go, licked his lips, and asked Tuchun: "What's the matter?" Suddenly thought of coming over?"

"Suzuki committed suicide in a hotel in Gansu," Tuchun said.

"Suzuki?"

"That's the Japanese."

Suddenly, An Hao nodded, and said in a low voice, "That's how people are, they will leave for no reason."

Tuchun said: "It's not for no reason. The essays he wrote are recognizable, but when I read them, I just thought they were funny. I thought to myself, what kind of poetry is this..."

An Hao hugged his shoulders, and said in a gentle voice, "You are so kind."

Tuchun shook his head, lowered his head, and looked at his feet. He and An Hao had already walked to the shutter door.Tuchun said, "I'm not a good person."

An Hao opened the rolling door, held Tuchun's hand, and said, "Come in and have a seat."

The air conditioner was turned on in the warehouse, and it was terribly cold, An Hao put on a military coat as soon as he entered.He carefully stepped over the motionless men and women on the ground, and walked to the edge of the sofa.Tuchun followed him, walking the road he had explored and opened up. He accidentally stepped on a woman's finger, but the woman didn't say a word. Tuchun suspected that these people on the ground might all be dead.Alcohol poisoning, drug poisoning, or for no reason, just died.

The sofa was occupied by a man. An Hao bit the pancake fruit and moved the man to the ground. He also picked up two pillows and patted them. Finally, two vacant seats were made for him and Tuchun. He patted the sofa On the cushion, Tuchun went over and sat down with him.

An Hao asked: "Then you don't need to translate his notebook?"

Tuchun lit a cigarette, but there was no sound. He looked at the ground, and the hand of the man who was put on the ground by An Hao before was touching his calf. The man woke up, opened his eyes, and said hoarsely: "We Have you seen it somewhere?"

An Hao raised his head and laughed, someone on the ground turned over and muttered something.An Hao ate pancakes and fruits, drank soy milk, and whispered to Tuchun: "This kind of strike-up is too old-fashioned."

Tuchun didn't make a sound, the man's hand had already climbed onto his thigh, and he climbed onto him in an instant.The man hugged Tuchun, closed his eyes in his arms, and said, "You are quite easy to hug, let me hug you to sleep for a while."

An Hao was still laughing, but there was no sound. The man suddenly opened his eyes, glared at An Hao, and acted coquettishly: "Smile?"

After speaking, he hooked An Hao's neck and kissed him, An Hao and Tu Chun spread their hands, the man went to kiss Tu Chun again, first brushed his lips with his lips lightly, and then he wanted to pick Tu Chun with his tongue Jaws.Tuchun didn't move, the corner of his eye glanced at An Hao, An Hao was eating his breakfast relaxedly, sitting relaxedly, watching, smiling silently.His hand touched Tuchun's hair, and he gently rubbed and stroked it with his fingers and palm.The man's kiss and An Hao's touch are both comfortable and warm. It was too cold when he first entered the door, and now it is too warm. For a moment, Tuchun was dizzy. He glanced at the soy milk in An Hao's hand. The milky white liquid was seen under the light. It looks a bit like yogurt.Tuchun felt nauseous for a while, pushed away the man who kissed him, got up and walked out, recklessly stepped on one or two people, apologized anxiously, and rushed out the door even more anxiously.An Hao followed and shouted: "Tuchun!"

Only then did Tuchun stop. He patted his clothes and turned to look at An Hao.An Hao wiped his mouth clean, took out a cigarette, and said, "Bring me a fire."

Tuchun walked over and lit a cigarette for him. He said, "Actually, there is one more thing...too many things happened this morning."

An Hao was silent, and Tu Chun continued: "My parents may be getting divorced, and the old man can't figure it out outside."

An Hao said: "Then you will spend more time with your mother in the future."

They stood against the wall, silent for a moment, Tuchun asked An Hao: "Are you not going to tell your mother?"

An Hao smiled: "Are you going to say it?" He shrugged, "Me, I feel it's the same whether I say it or not. As long as it can still provide some shelter from the wind and rain, let’s say,” he knelt down to eat a cigarette and looked ahead, “there won’t be any changes, and you can’t get married, and you don’t have any legal protection, so what if you get married? Wouldn't it be divorced and separated? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to come out and play together?"

Tuchun said: "I know." He looked inside the door: "I know."

An Hao patted his trouser leg, still smiling, he took the cigarette in his mouth, took off his lip ring, and handed it to Tuchun.Tuchun was surprised, An Hao said: "Lend me a little fire, and I will give you something as a souvenir."

Tuchun took the lip ring, held it in his hand, and said, "I want to go back and talk to my mother."

"You old man has someone outside, and now you're talking to your mother about this, it's not good, wait a minute." An Hao said, he took off his military coat, spread it on the floor, and sat down.

Tuchun said: "I also think the timing is not good now." He scratched the tip of his nose and said, "But, I don't know, I can't explain clearly, my dad lied to her...I lied to her too, I think it's more Not good." He half-covered his mouth and ate a cigarette, "I don't know what will happen in the next second..."

He suddenly felt that he was very close to death, and he thought that Di Qiu might already be dead.

Where he died, he didn't know.

How he died, he didn't know.

Did he leave a suicide note?What will be written in his suicide note.

Will he write about two friends he met in high school, one named Ding Xiaoyao and the other named Tuchun.

He's always so happy, he doesn't look like someone who would kill himself.But when he was quiet, his eyes were so melancholy.

An Hao said: "Let's think about it again."

Tuchun nodded: "Well, let me think about it again." He finished his cigarette, pinched the butt of the cigarette, and said, "I'll go back first."

An Hao raised his chin, smiled and waved the cigarette in his hand with Tuchun, his cigarette was almost finished, he stood up, turned around and got into the rolling door.
