Conformity

Chapter 64

There was a light bulb in the dark. At nine o’clock, Lao Cao called to harass him, saying that he needed to contribute to the early stage of another project in this city. Shao Bowen went out in a suit and leather shoes. Before leaving, he asked Chang Yuan what he wanted for lunch. What to eat, he came to order takeaway when it was time, Chang Yuan had his own hands, so he told him to leave quickly.

Huzi was happy to have someone to accompany him, so he used a bench to go to the refrigerator to steal two pieces of chocolate that Chang Yuan had brought back from the airport, and threw himself in front of the TV to watch "Animal World".

Chang Yuan watched it with him for a few minutes, but because he didn't have much interest after watching this episode, he stood up and walked around the room a few times, so he could only do housework when he was free.

He swept the floor, threw out the garbage, finished drying the sheets and quilt covers, and sprayed Shao Bowen's flowers and plants all over with a light bulb-shaped water bottle. Finally, he felt that he had nothing to do.

He used to refuse to take a vacation, switching between different construction sites non-stop. This time, because Shao Bowen decided to leave normally, he was inseparable for two days, and the others just went out.

People can't really relax, there must be one side of the body and mind busy online.

He can actually remember the events of the past few days, but he is used to going through the records. He feels that he has nothing to do except accompany him to buy a car. They say that what people do in their spare time determines the speed at which he can realize his dreams. Even if Shao Bowen takes a rest The phone calls are constant all day long. It can be said that his pursuit is to become a big Lingyun. This is a career, which is about success and glory. What about himself?

He, he did not pursue.

If he hadn't reunited with Shao Bowen, Chang Yuan thought, in another ten years, would he still stare at his diary and spend his days on the construction site?

This thought was so sharp that his mind was suddenly barren and empty. Chang Yuan was frustrated for a while on the wicker chair by the window, and he didn't even bother to move to satisfy it when the big money came over to give him a sense of presence.

There is a saying that fits his current state of mind very well. He is most afraid that he will achieve nothing in this life, and he will come back to praise the ordinary and true.

He is an ordinary person, he does not have great ambitions, he wants to achieve very little, and he just needs to feel at ease and not worry all day long.

The rich man twisted his waist and swayed his hips and rubbed against his legs coquettishly, but he didn't get a response, so he had to run out lightly.

Negative emotions can make the daylight gray. I don't know how long I sat there. Chang Yuan's gaze, which had no place to rest, caught through the window an old man in the green area downstairs playing with sticks, picking thorns and hooking. The posture has a kind of agility that doesn't match his age or sense of sight. Chang Yuan wonders if he can't kick over the head like him.

And in the open space of a shrub altar from him, another aunt just put down her tape recorder, put on a loose exercise suit, and then started to practice Tai Chi.

It was nearly ten o'clock at this time, and the old people who had reached the dusk were still very active in sports, and it was not too late to exist.

The so-called flowing water does not rot, the hinge does not rot, and it moves... Chang Yuan's brain flashed, as if suddenly aware of the rusty inertia in his bones, he lay on his back and closed his eyes and laughed, respecting life endlessly, laughing and worrying of myself.

He is indeed at a loss now, but fortunately, relatively speaking, he is still young.

One of the luckiest things in the world is meeting someone who wakes you up from the cycle of your day to day and realizes that it's just not going to work.

Because of physical exertion and invisible internal injuries, Chang Yuan suffered from lazy cancer, so he really ordered takeaway. He drank watery drinks, and watched Huzi eating spicy drinks opposite him, and he was not hesitating to share with him, so he could only decline with a smile.

Shao Bowen didn't hear from him at noon, so Chang Yuan found out the mat after eating, and decided to get enough sleep first, he seriously didn't sleep well last night.

He found a place with good geomantic omen, spread the bamboo mat under Shao Bowen's green window sill, and took the young man to take a nap together. Feeling full and sleepy, he quickly squinted.

When he woke up, the sun passed over the window sill, covering his legs and feet in the light, and the dazzling golden color carried an inspiring energy.

Huzi's sleeping trajectory was very confusing, and he had already rolled onto the floor. The child was very angry, and the energy brought by the radiation made him sweat profusely while sleeping. Chang Yuan dragged the bamboo mat back two meters, and was about to carry him up. As a result, he woke up as soon as he moved, lying on the tiles in an unhygienic manner, and said that he wanted to eat ice cream, Chang Yuan fished him onto the bamboo mat, and then ruthlessly rejected him.

After waking up, he put a peaked cap on Huzi, and then went to the bookstore together.He felt that he should absorb some new things, but he didn't know where to start. Going to the bookstore might give him unexpected inspiration.

The bookstore was the foothold he often visited when he was a student. At that time, he could avoid Chi Mei there. The indomitable courage and distant scenery in the book also fascinated him. Living a free life on a long trip, and then a serious illness, this dream also quietly disappeared.

Gradually, Zhuoyou and Dangdang have grown up. Since he stepped out of the university campus for so many years, he has never been in a bookstore. There is a book building about 4 kilometers away from the community. Chang Yuan is standing at the entrance with his child, and he feels like a lifetime away. .

Times have changed, and the bookstore is not as quiet as it used to be. There are many people and noisy pop music is playing, and there are all kinds of recommendations and promotional advertisements hanging above the head. Five of the ten shopping carts are filled with children. It is a bit like the supermarket that Shao Bowen loves to visit. In order to avoid collision, Chang Yuan also pushed a car and stuffed the tiger into it.

"What do you usually like to read?" Chang Yuan pushed the cart and passed strangers among the bookshelves. As a return gift for accompanying him on a stroll, he planned to buy some picture books for Hu Zi, who loves to paint.

The plastic seat board was a bit sticky, and Huzi held the stainless steel round pipes on both sides with his hands, and said frankly: "I like watching TV."

"There is no TV here." Chang Yuan pushed him to the children's area, thinking of "Children and Dogs" at the door of the bedroom, he wanted to laugh, "You drew quite well in the morning, how did you practice?"

Huzi especially likes others to praise him for being able to draw, so he smiled smugly, "Huh? I don't know."

In fact, he has not practiced it, but the kindergarten has graffiti classes. His father became aesthetically blind when he saw him, which greatly boosted his self-confidence and enthusiasm for painting.

"Then what do you like to draw the most?" Chang Yuan turned the cart around, "People, animals, or flowers and trees?"

"I like to draw tigers!" Hu Zi said, thinking he learned to howl fiercely, his cheeks bulged like two steamed buns stuffed, "Aw~wow~"

Several people around turned their heads to look at the treasure. Chang Yuan was taken aback by him. Seeing his innocent face, he couldn't bear to preach to him, so he bent down pretending to be mysterious, and whispered: "The tiger is really powerful, but it can't It's called that outside."

The kid especially liked this set, and Huzi was taken aback by him, asking for an explanation, "Why?"

Chang Yuan drew "King" on his forehead with his index finger, and continued to fool around, "Because the tiger is the king, everyone will run away as soon as he calls it."

Huzi thought of the animal world in the morning, the tiger screamed and crushed the antelope, and immediately felt that it made sense, and said in a lower voice than Chang Yuan: "Okay."

Chang Yuan patted his little head in relief, "Good boy."

The two bought tiger picture books with a whispering volume, and then moved to the building area. There were not many people here, and Chang Yuan was able to push the car smoothly. Ben met an acquaintance.

"Changgong," Zhan Rong stood at the entrance of this row of aisles with a shopping basket, and greeted him with crooked eyebrows, "There's also little tiger, what a coincidence."

Because big money favors the beautiful little Pomeranian, Huzi has no resistance to this hostess who is willing to share dog biscuits, so he obediently called: "Hello, little sister Zhan."

Chang Yuan is the uncle and Zhan Rong is the elder sister. Although his seniority is messy, he has never offended anyone, because his father taught him to keep in mind the principle of "don't call women aunts casually".

Zhan Rong praised him for being good, and then looked to the side, thinking that Shao Bowen had also come, but she didn't see anyone, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Chang Yuan caught a glimpse of many books in her basket, and she knew it was the norm just by looking at the white paper. Although Chi Mei messed up the mandarin ducks and made them embarrassed, Zhan Rong calmly said nothing after talking about it. Chang Yuan admired her He's very refreshing, and thinks this friend can afford it.

He smiled and said, "Coincidentally, he is so dedicated, and he is still charging for work during the break."

Zhan Rong was also very tired because of this, she carried the basket and looked disgusted, "There is a leader who stands tall, he is a workaholic, he thinks that the whole world should live by work, like me, even a newcomer Those who haven’t put the rules on the table are those who don’t know how to make progress.”

Chang Yuan's "overhead" director Luo Kun is a sheep herder, so he seldom teaches them what to do. Luo Kun feels that everyone has their own way, and the confusion is just that the time has not come. It is difficult to compare the two leaders which is better, but Chang Yuan just opened his mind in the morning, and just needed someone to guide him. He said with some envy, "It's pretty good, you work hard."

Zhan Rong sighed, carried the book heavily and continued to work hard, "You two take your time, I still have a few books to look for."

Not long after she left, Chang Yuan's phone vibrated again. He took it out and saw that it was Shao Bowen, and heard him say over there: "I'm walking back, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring an order along the way. "

Chang Yuan was living well, and he didn't buy any books, so he was so worried that he couldn't care less about food, so he said, "Ask your son."

When Huzi answered the phone, he just said, "Dad, I miss you!"

He was very busy at home today, watching TV, tossing toys, and even having trouble eating, Chang Yuan couldn't help but glance at this little liar.

Shao Bowen naturally knew what kind of virtue he was, "Come on, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Huzi tentatively asked, "Ken... De, Ji?"

Shao Bowen automatically sinicized the menu, "Baby, you are getting better at ordering. One is the top three. Dad knows, lettuce, chicken drumsticks and steamed buns."

Huzi was probably used to being tricked, so he only let out a long and disgusting "噫". In order to retaliate against Shao Bowen, he began to play tricks, "Daddy, Uncle Yuan and I are playing outside, you must not know where we are."

Shao Bowen thought that according to Chang Yuan's urination, he would stay at home, and he was happy about it, but he followed his son and said, "Yes, where have you two been?"

Huzi said, "Guess!"

Shao Bowen was willing to act with him, "I can't guess."

Huzi couldn't hold back for three seconds, he was too proud, "Hahaha, I knew you couldn't guess it. Let me tell you, Uncle Yuan and I are in the bookstore."

The bookstore is really an unexpected place, Shao Bowen asked: "Which bookstore?"

Huzi couldn't read a few big characters, so he had to return the phone to Chang Yuan, who said, "We are in the Chenghua Book Building."

"On our way back, you can continue shopping. I'll pick you up later."

Chang Yuan said yes, and the line on the other end was picked up. He didn't see the book he wanted to buy in the bookshelf, so he took the "Illustrated Analysis of Quality Problems in Construction Engineering" and walked slowly towards the cashier.

The hall was full of recommended seats. Chang Yuan met Zhan Rong again here. She threw two more copies into the box and carried them to check out. Chang Yuan followed her and walked towards the cash register on the left side of the entrance.

The bookstore will close in another hour, and there are a lot of people checking out. The line goes from the front of the counter to the entrance, turns an obtuse angle, and starts walking to the cashier again.

Zhan Rong happened to be standing at the corner, and Chang Yuan was standing behind her, with his face probably facing the door. He saw half of the door being pushed open from the outside, and a young man came in looking down at his phone.

After he came in, he didn't continue to walk, but stuck the door with his foot in the 90° open state. Immediately after the open door, a little girl wearing a princess dress came in. She was half a head shorter than Hu Zi, and she looked like she had just learned to walk. .

Just when she walked to the middle position facing the door leaf, a scene that no one expected happened in the blink of an eye. The half door of the bookstore that was stuck by the foot and opened and closed frequently, with its high-style height and huge The weight suddenly collapsed.

There was a moment of grief, before the man who was stuck on the door came back to his senses, the door leaf had already slapped the little girl and his feet flat on the ground, the glass cracked in response, and the white radiation pattern like a tide covered the panel, covering the The situation was cast into a blurred shadow.

The adrenaline secreted in an emergency made Chang Yuan's heart feel like something had been ripped out of his chest. "Danger" yelled in his mind. In that short moment, he only had time to pull back Zhan Rong who was near the door.

Unprepared, Zhan Rong fell on the shopping cart and bumped into Huzi's forehead, and her books fell to the ground in a mess.

Dark red blood came out like earthworms from under the glass, staining the "Social Dividend" and "Big Data Era" in front of me red.

The miserable howl finally sounded.
