Tales on the Green Train

Because of the rainy weather, the originally less than an hour's journey took nearly two hours.Hu Bing's anxious mouth soon had blisters.When he arrived, Zhang Yan was riding on the suitcase to watch the rain. The rain had covered his calves, and he couldn't even get out.

Hu Bing is a person who is used to running on-site exercises, and he doesn't care about the stagnant water. He braved the heavy rain and ran up, and the whole person appeared in front of him like a soaked chicken, without any image at all.

Zhang Yan didn't look at him, but asked, "Why are you here, the rain won't stop even if you come here, and the rails can't be repaired either."

"I'll take you home," Hu Bing said.

Zhang Yan thought to himself: Why go back?Going back is also a person.He really had enough of the days when he was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk, meet or even make a phone call.Of course, it’s fine if he’s that busy, but he’s always free from [-] to [-], and he’s going to go on a errand from time to time—every [-] to [-], he still has to go on a business trip when he has nothing to do.

"Let's go." Hu Bing pulled his wrist. Although Zhang Yan was reluctant in his heart, he only sighed in his heart, stayed for a while, and then came down.The driver reversed the car and stopped the car next to the steps.Hu Bing sent Zhang Yan inside first, and then turned around to pick up the suitcase and get on the car.He has been running around all year round, and his backpack is full of things. He pulled out a towel from his inner pocket, wiped his hair, took off his soaked coat and put it on the back of the chair, and then carefully looked at the people around him. .

"What angry words did you say for no reason?" Hu Bing asked, "If you are unhappy, just say it."

Zhang Yan thought to himself: How should I say?Forced you to resign?He felt that he was half-baked, Jin Guowei valued him, and Zhang Yan couldn't refuse the kindness of an old man who was over seventy years old with such expectant eyes, let alone resignation.It is said that traditional craftsmen probably never left their jobs. They are teachers for one day and fathers for life. He and Hu Bing may get farther and farther in the future.

Zhang Yan just didn't understand, even if they separated for a long time before, they wouldn't feel uneasy like this, why can't they do it now?

"I'm in a bad mood, nonsense," Zhang Yan said.

Rainy days really affect the mood, but Hu Bing knew it was more than that. How long had it been since they rented a house where two people appeared at the same time?Even if they meet each other, it will be in the middle of the night when Zhang Yan is asleep.In this way, Zhang Yan would not see him for almost 24 hours.

Hu Bing could understand Zhang Yan's mood in his heart, but the high-intensity work consumed him too much energy, and he really couldn't squeeze out the warmth for him.He also understood that Zhang Yan didn't complain to him because he understood this.It's really a dilemma.

Hu Bing didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to gently pull him into his arms.Passing cars set off two-meter-high water splashes, "bathing" each other, and the rain passed through the windows, blurring everything.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yan to lean on his shoulder and his anger subsided, and he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be angry."

Hu Bing said: "I know, it's better to be angry than to be suffocated. If you really can't do it, you can just beat me up."

If it wasn't for the fact that his career was just on the rise, Hu Bing might have resigned directly. Then he would find a tabloid office, shop around every day to search for news and typesetting, and take a break from his busy schedule to travel.But he has only worked for one year, and one year cannot be called work experience at all, and there is no advantage in changing jobs.

Hu Bing rubbed his hair and said softly: "Give me another year, when I can find a job, it will be easier for me to find a job, and the threshold will be higher. At that time, I will find an ordinary newspaper office, and the salary will be decent. At that time Just go from nine to five with you."

Zhang Yan was soothed by the beautiful life he outlined, nodded, and played with his fingers while leaning on his shoulder.

The atmosphere here finally settled down, but a sudden phone call from Hu Bing broke the atmosphere.

The caller was the little reporter who Hu Bing had arranged to post before he left——

"Bingge, an engineer we interviewed today said he was your boy, and his name is Che Xiang..."

Before the little reporter could finish speaking, the phone was robbed: "Bingzi! My leg is broken, why don't you come and see?"

Hu Bing: "..."

There is no coincidence in the world, so Hu Bing consulted Zhang Yan's opinion, and the car turned around and drove to the scene of the incident.The driver was in the right mood, and he ran back and forth without wasting a single drop of fuel.

Hu Bing and Che Xiang met for the first time after graduation, and both were taken aback by the touching image of the other.One was lying on the bed with his legs hanging and laughing, and the other was standing at the door and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up. The first sentence was: "Damn, how did you become like this?!"

Che Xiang, as a railway worker who wears a hard hat and lives in a green shed in the wild every day, his image is not much better than Hu Bing who is too busy to eat and sleep every day on the scene.

Che Xiang looked at Zhang Yan: "He has grown up like this and you still follow him?"

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "It's about to be dumped."

Hu Bing turned around and pinched his waist.

The two sat on the chair, and Hu Bing asked, "What's the matter with the leg?"

Che Xiang said: "I didn't pay attention during the emergency repair, and the steel plate smashed it."

The three of them continued for a while, and while Zhang Yan was out on the phone, Che Xiang asked Hu Bing in a low voice, "Are you really going to live with him forever?"

Hu Bing frowned and sighed: "I know what you mean, of course I want to live with him."

He thought of what Zhang Yan had done to his mother, and how tolerant and patient he had been with him all the time. He feared that he would never meet such a second person in his life.The most important thing is that they have been together for four years, and the two of them have long known that they are inseparable.

In the past four years, Hu Bing has been tied tightly by him, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, without looking at others, he always feels that no one is as good as him.

But he understood what Che Xiang meant, they were running out of time, they had already entered the age of talking about marriage, and he was not ready to deal with his family—he was exhausted from work every day, so there was no time to waste So much effort to deal with the family.

Family affection, love, and career, these three things can really drive him crazy.

"Then have you thought about what to do?" Che Xiang asked.

Hu Bing shook his head, "There was a plan a long time ago, but the project was huge and there was no time to implement it. It seems a bit late now."

Che Xiang was worried about him: "Bingzi, you have to let someone down, it's too difficult to be perfect."

Hu Bing nodded, indicating that he understood.

The atmosphere was solemn, Che Xiang suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, brother, I'm getting married."

Hu Bing: "..."

"Ah?!" Hu Bing jumped up from the chair, "I rely on you...so fast?"

Che Xiang frowned, and said "tsk": "How do you talk? According to my experience in dating in college, it's not suitable to talk about love for too long, and it's almost a year. You just wait to follow suit, huh? "

Zhang Yan opened the door and came in: "Who are you?"

Che Xiang smiled and said, "I'm getting married, so we'll join you when the time comes."

"So soon? Didn't you just graduate for a year?" Zhang Yan asked.

"I've talked too much about love, and I'll lose confidence in love if I don't get married," Che Xiang said casually.

Hu Bing: "..."

Zhang Yan: "..."

This reason for marriage is also quite fresh and refined.

Hu Bing asked: "Where is my sister-in-law? Don't you bring her out to see her?"

Che Xiang said: "She saw you on TV once, and I told her. As for you to see her, do you have time?"

Hu Bing is ashamed, he has a lot of things to live up to because he has no time.

Zhang Yan asked: "When will you get married? Have you set a date?"

Che Xiang: "The ninth day of February in the coming year".

"It will take another year, and it will be a long time," Zhang Yan said.

"No way, the house hasn't been handed over yet." The two of you started chatting with each other.Hu Bingwu started to reflect on himself from the sidelines: Fa Xiao, who grew up together, had already bought a house and was about to get married. He worked hard for a year, except that he was exhausted and tanned several degrees, as if he had nothing.

One year is fine, Hu Bing clasped his fingers and set a goal for himself: to solve all the problems we are facing now within five years.

Che Xiang recalled the old days and said, "Do you know what happened to Jiang Yue and Jiang Yue?"

Hu Bing came back to his senses, and asked: "What?" He thought: Don't you want to get married too?Why are everyone so impatient?

Che Xiang stretched out three fingers: "The two have broken up three times in a year, and this is only what I know."

"The two of them have always been like this," Hu Bing said. "When they were in school, they separated and reunited as if they were inseparable. It didn't bother them. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like a couple."

"This is the way people fall in love—Jiang Yue's father didn't like him, Jiang Yue didn't express his opinion, and he didn't let go. The three of them just worked like this, and they had conflicts about everything." Che Xiang said, "You know Jiang Yue's personality, she doesn't show anything when she's angry, she doesn't say anything when she thinks, she just slaps you in the face from time to time, making you confused, and being eaten to death by her , this life is in her hands."

Hu Bing asked in surprise: "How do you know these things? How many of you have met after graduation?"

Che Xiang said: "Jiang Yue's father bid for a project before. During the chat, he mentioned that he and his daughter were friends. Later, I heard about it. We would contact sometimes. But we didn't have much time to meet each other. It’s a phone call and QQ contact.”

"I don't know anything else, let's hear it," Hu Bing asked.

"I don't know everything," Che Xiang said, "After graduation, I gradually lost contact."

It's only been a year since I graduated, but it feels so far away when I think back to those days.Maybe it's because I've grown too much in this year.

Hu Bing suddenly looked back at Zhang Yan and said with a smile, "Jiang Yue is quite like you in terms of 'tight mouth', but fortunately, I can still guess why you are angry. Isn't it?"

"No," Zhang Yan said with a smile.

Che Xiang said: "Is this the benefit of homosexuality? According to my experience, women are really difficult to understand..."

Hu Bing interjected: "If you dare to 'according to your experience' in front of your wife, I guarantee you will die ugly."

Che Xiang licked his lips, and suddenly said to Zhang Yan: "This little turtle has a lot of evil intentions, so be careful not to be fooled by him."

Zhang Yan was amused by him, and Hu Bing picked up a pillow and threw it on Che Xiang's face.

Che Xiang was injured, and it was inconvenient for the three of them to go out for a meal to catch up, so they just bought a few catties of buns in the hospital cafeteria to make do with it.

Hu Bing missed his post several times in a row, and the selection was basically missed. He had already prepared in his heart, and Wang Wen almost ate him alive.Who would have thought that there would be pie in the sky, luck would not be able to stop it, the young man who was selected was exposed to malpractice for personal gain and was expelled from the stage.So Hu Bing was directly put up as the second candidate.

Hu Bing's plan to resign and go to the newspaper with two years of experience was temporarily disrupted. He found that there is another way out for TV reporters, and that is the TV host.This process is destined to be long, but the future is absolutely bright, and the most important thing is more money.I didn't feel like going to school before, but the longer I spend in society, the more people I see, the more I realize the importance of money.

The old ancestor's words are true: money can make ghosts turn mills.

The most important thing for him now is how to appease Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan has become more and more insecure during the year when the two have been separated. He was not like this before.In Zhang Yan's bones, there is actually a bit of imperceptible arrogance. He disdains jealousy and clinginess, because since he was a child, others have been clinging to him in vain.

Hu Bing was so worried that his hair was almost turning white.The most important thing is that he discovered that in this triangle relationship, the weight of family affection plus career is likely to overwhelm such things as love.The love that flows slowly after the passion fades, without the slightest impulse at all, what can be used to resist the temptation of the outside world?This is really a test of human nature.

The preparations were going on intensely, and the filming of the TV program started a week later. In the end, Hu Bing didn't dare to confess this matter to Zhang Yan.He could only kiss Zhang Yan awake after get off work in the middle of the night when Zhang Yan was at home, and see each other for a few minutes during the day.This method was quite effective, and the trembling balance continued to be maintained with difficulty.

After the New Year, Che Xiang got married, and Hu Bing and Zhang Yan went to be the best man. The two wore suits and squeezed into the toilet cubicle of the hotel and kissed. They were as happy as their own wedding. Ebony woodcarving rings hung around their necks. with light.

What was unexpected was that Li Ming and Liu Wanlin would get together. When Hu Bing asked about it after reading the group news, Li Ming said that Che Xiang taught them.

Che Xiang told him: Nowadays, robbing a daughter-in-law is harder than robbing money. While you are young, you must use all the favorable resources around you. For example, Liu Wanlin is good, smart, sensible and general.

Li Ming and Liu Wanlin have quite similar personalities, they have been classmates for four years, and it is not difficult to communicate with each other, so they came together under the influence of Che Xiang.

Hu Bing didn't expect Che Xiang to work as a pimp after getting married. He couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and deeply realized that marriage is indeed a big cut in life.However, he had no luck realizing it.

After Che Xiang got married, Hu's mother may have had a contrast in her heart, and suddenly fell into the pressure of begging for a daughter-in-law. She called every day to greet her, and every call must mention this matter.Hu Bing was already very busy, and now he was even more troubled. He felt that he had either delayed puberty or advanced menopause, and he carried Coptis chinensis tablets in his pocket every day, taking medicine as a meal.Several times, he almost came out of the closet directly, but every time the words came to his lips, he tremblingly stopped, always feeling that it was not the time-he felt that his old mother who was recovering from a serious illness could not bear it.

Until one day, Zhang Yan suddenly said, "Master told me to follow Liu Guolin from now on."

Hu Bing was stunned, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Zhang Yan explained: "I may decide to stay in Yancheng in the future."
