Moving from the city to the countryside

The next day, as soon as 07:30 arrived, Zhu Wenxuan's biological clock woke up. He closed his eyes and turned over to touch the place next to him. It was cold. Fu Hongbin didn't come back last night.Although I feel bored, this is not the first time.

After rolling around with the quilt in his arms for a while, Zhu Wenxuan got up and went into the bathroom with his slippers on to wash up.He is 1.7 meters five, two centimeters shorter than Fu Hongbin.However, he has a watermelon head, and the front bangs are long and the glasses are covered a little.Moreover, he likes to wear canvas shoes, so it looks like he is more than half a head shorter than Fu Hongbin who has a heightened hairstyle, styling water every day, and likes to wear leather shoes with heels.

Breakfast is bought and eaten downstairs.There is a row of noodle restaurants and seafood porridge sheds outside the community.Fu Hongbin used to like to eat the soy milk and fried dough sticks in that small Sichuan restaurant, but he didn't eat much after that, and occasionally went to wipe the stools and tables, which made him very unhappy.He has always liked the salted vegetable buns from that store.

Sun-dried salted vegetables, soaked in hot water until soft, not salty, squeezed out and cut into small pieces, wrapped into buns the size of a baby's fist, with thin skin and plenty of filling, not greasy and enjoyable to eat.He had a whim, and tried to fiddle with it once, but unfortunately he always felt that something was missing.

After eating five salted vegetable buns in one go, and overturning a large bowl of porridge, Zhu Wenxuan burped, packed up the plastic bag and the disposable porridge box, and just wanted to make a call to ask where Fu Hongbin was. Where should I go to pick him up, Cao Cheng called. "Xiao Zhu, are you at home?"

"Well, I'm here." Zhu Wenxuan went to the kitchen to wash his hands with the phone between his shoulders and ears.

Cao Cheng and him are college classmates, they are not in the same major, but they were put together when they were divided into dormitories, and they got along very well.Speaking of which, there were six people living in their dormitory at that time, all six were from the same department but different majors, and they didn't know how the school dormitory was assigned.

Cao Cheng told him that the construction team he invited couldn't understand the drawing of the location of the restaurant, so he asked him to go and have a look. "Hey, the construction team of this kind of small company just can't do it. I went with you to the construction site you saw last time. The decoration teams of those big companies are of different grades. The adhesive glue imported from Germany is densely packed. I don’t even know German, and I can tell what ratio to match just by looking at it.”

Zhu Wenxuan laughed after hearing this.Of course, the workers on the decoration team at the construction site didn’t know German, but the adhesives they used were all of the same brand, and the proportions of the bottles were different depending on the color, so those workers were all based on the color to distinguish, “You won’t invite It’s for laymen.” The original design was designed to be easy and simple, so it shouldn’t be difficult to understand.

"Hey!" Cao Cheng has been worrying a lot during this time, sighing one after another, and said, "There was someone who understood, but someone in the family was sick, so he asked for leave and didn't come. Workers." The one who didn't understand explained to the workmen that they didn't know how to do it at all. "You said it would be great if I had the same major as you, and I explained it to them myself."

Just after Cao Cheng and his girlfriend received their certificates, they bought a three-bedroom house from a door and window company and are currently renovating it.Although it was sold first-hand, the house is a new house, and the price is five points cheaper than that of the sales department, so you can ask for cash.At that time, Cao Cheng also consulted him, asking him if the house was good, and whether there were any quality problems? He couldn't be a liar.

Zhu Wenxuan knows that many real estate companies have developed new buildings that are not easy to sell or are short of funds, so they will ask the underlying construction units to buy a house as a deduction for the project payment.However, just to be on the safe side, he made a special inquiry.I asked the people I knew in that area, and found a construction unit that was under the real estate company. After confirming that there was no problem, I asked Cao Cheng to do it.

Cao Cheng's family lives in the local area, and his parents are both teachers. Now that they are retired, they still have a pension, so it is not too difficult to pay the full amount.Moreover, his girlfriend's family also paid half of the money.At that time Cao Cheng said to him: "My mother-in-law said that now men and women are equal, and it's not good for a man to buy a house and a woman to marry."

Zhu Wenxuan sighed a lot, there are not many such open-minded women's parents.He knew that many female colleagues in their company would make demands when looking for a boyfriend, such as a house and a car.Therefore, it is very generous for Cao Cheng's girlfriend's family to pay half of the money.

But Cao Cheng said: "My mother-in-law is a strong woman herself, and she definitely doesn't want her daughter to have no status in the family because she didn't pay for the house." Besides, the house he bought belongs to pre-marital property. Broken and divorced, the house is also his own.With such a shrewd mother-in-law, she would definitely not let this happen.

And the facts have proved that no matter how fashionable the mother-in-law is in the 60s, she is also very respectable.His mother-in-law asked them to go to the notary office for property notarization before they received their marriage certificate.It is agreed that the two parties shall not do things that are sorry for each other and the family after marriage, otherwise they will leave the house.

"I've given in to my new mother, and I have to obey and honor her in the future." Cao Cheng, who was forced to be fashionable for a while, told Zhu Wenxuan like this.

After hearing this, Zhu Wenxuan was also in awe of his good friend, the mother-in-law.When he bought a house with Fu Hongbin, he didn't think about these things at all, because the two of them didn't talk about marriage before and after marriage.However, their house did have Fu Hongbin's name written on it, because when buying the house, Fu Hongbin's parents came to choose it together.Apart from paying Hong Bin 12 yuan, he had nothing to do with him during the whole house buying process.Even Fu Hongbin's parents didn't know that the money didn't belong to their son.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Zhu Wenxuan arrived at Cao Cheng's side.Cao Cheng got out of the messy room, grabbed him and walked into the room, "You're finally here, I'm going to stop working here."

There were a few workers standing sparsely in the living room, their clothes were uniform, and the words 'Star Arts Decoration' were printed on them.Zhu Wenxuan took the blueprint and explained it to a relatively experienced master in his 40s. "It needs to be interrupted here, and a ceiling is installed on top..."

Cao Cheng kept nodding over there, not sure if he understood or not.

After talking for half an hour, the master smoked two cigarettes, "Well, I understand what you mean."

Zhu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't understand him, he wouldn't think that the master's level is low, but he would only think that he did not do well. After all, as a technician, the drawings you made should be ordinary and easy to understand. Of course, for those who don't know how to read pictures at all, it's not a problem for him to draw pictures.

"Let's go, my buddy treats you to dinner." After leaving the decoration room, Cao Cheng hugged Zhu Wenxuan and went downstairs.

The two found a Sichuan restaurant. Cao Cheng is a local, and he couldn't stand the spicy taste of Sichuan food at first, but after four years of college, he can already open his arms around the red soup hot pot with Zhu Wenxuan and Fu Hongbin. have eaten.

The name of the Sichuan restaurant is 'Xiaoli Sichuan Restaurant', and there were only two tables of guests. After Zhu Wenxuan and the others entered, the waiter came over with a recipe and greeted him, "What do you two want to eat? Our family has pickled fish, spicy fish, boiled pork slices with bloody braised sauce. Beef sizzling beef..."

"All right, all right," Cao Cheng interrupted her, "Let's see for ourselves." He asked Zhu Wenxuan, "Do you want to eat something? Have a hot fat intestine? This place is quite clean."

"En, fine." Nine out of ten times when Zhu Wenxuan eats out, he will get angry, but it must be in a restaurant he is familiar with. He is afraid that other restaurants will not be clean.Zhu Wenxuan was also very hungry after not eating out for a long time.The person in charge of the canteen of their company is from Hunan, and the dishes they cook always have the same taste.It’s okay to eat once in a while, but eating two or three hundred days a year is simply abuse.

"Let's have another fish with pickled vegetables." Cao Cheng felt that two dishes were enough, but he still asked, "Do you want some green vegetables?" He remembered that Zhu Wenxuan always liked to order a small dish, choy heart and anchovy water spinach Shredded cabbage or something.

"No need." Zhu Wenxuan said, "Just the two of us, we can't finish a whole bowl of pickled cabbage and fish."

"En!" The waiter said loudly and proudly: "Our pickled fish is very big!"

Cao Cheng returned the menu to the waiter, "Then let's have these two dishes, let's make a bowl of rice." When the waiter took the menu and left, he approached Zhu Wenxuan across the table and asked, "I said you're going to eat in a flash. Thirty, do you really plan to spend the rest of your life with Fu Hongbin?"

In fact, Cao Cheng also wanted to say that even if you wanted to spend the rest of your life, Fu Hongbin might not necessarily spend the rest of your life with you.However, he knew that if he said that, Zhu Wenxuan would definitely not be happy, so he could only inquire about it leisurely.

Zhu Wenxuan drank little by little with a cup in one hand, and smiled after a while: "Didn't I discuss with you last time that the same wife is very pitiful? I won't marry a woman casually, then It’s harming others.” He and I once saw a program about the tragic life of a group of same wives that no one knew about.

The same wives in the show, the younger ones are only in their 20s, the older ones are in their 60s, and their children and grandchildren are all in groups.But when they were interviewed, they all cried bitterly, with numbness and long-term depression in their expressions.

Zhu Wenxuan didn't sleep well for several nights.At that time, he made up his mind that he would never marry a woman for the sake of other people's eyes and children in his life.

Cao Cheng was a little entangled, "You weren't crooked before, and it wasn't because of that kid Fu Hongbin." He shared a dormitory with Zhu Wenxuan since his freshman year, and Zhu Wenxuan liked girls at the beginning. I'm sure, at that time, a flower from the Department of Foreign Languages ​​went downstairs to their dormitory to give Zhu Wenxuan a handmade scarf.

Zhu Wenxuan put down his cup, looked at him seriously and said, "It doesn't matter if I was in the past, what matters is that I am now."

Cao Cheng wanted to say something more, but he swallowed the words and asked instead, "Will you come to my place to pay Hong Bin this weekend?"

"He's not at home. They didn't go back to their department dinner last night." Zhu Wenxuan said plainly, but he was thinking in his heart that it's already noon, and Fu Hongbin didn't even call him.Obviously he hasn't returned home yet, if he goes back and finds that he is not there, why would he call and ask.

Cao Cheng was not happy when he heard this, "He works overtime for three days and two days, can you go home together once a week?" He knew that Zhu Wenxuan and Fu Hongbin had agreed on the two-day world weekend. .

"Okay, we're all men, he's so busy, why should I worry about so much, you and your wife can just get bored with each other." Zhu Wenxuan looked at the food, helped him wash the dishes with tea, and handed it to him. "Eat, I'll go back after eating." Otherwise, Fu Hongbin would not be able to enter the house if he forgot his key.

It's not easy for Cao Cheng to say anything about this kind of thing, but he is obviously in a bad mood, and he is still depressed after a meal.Seeing that he had given the money, Zhu Wenxuan walked out of the small restaurant with his arms around his neck, bumping into him as he walked: "Interesting or not, treat me to a meal and make a face."

"Would you like to watch it or not." Cao Cheng got a bad temper and his mouth was mean. "You can bear Fu Hongbin like that. If he betrays you one day, I'll see you... Hey, I didn't mean that."

Zhu Wenxuan let go of him, stared at him for a while, then suddenly slapped him on the shoulder and laughed, "It's okay, I don't know about you yet, you don't have a handle on your mouth."

Cao Cheng was no longer nervous when he heard what he said. Just now Zhu Wenxuan looked at him coldly and almost scared him to death.However, this time he didn't dare to talk about Fu Hongbin anymore.Although his wife told him two days ago that she saw Fu Hongbin and a man entering the hotel.

At the side of the road, Zhu Wenxuan stopped the car and was about to go back, so he hurriedly asked: "Xiao Zhu, did Fu Hongbin go back at night last Friday?"

Zhu Wenxuan got into the taxi with one foot. Hearing the words, his heart was twisted, he turned his head to look at him, lowered his eyelids and said, "We went back together, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay." Cao Cheng smiled awkwardly, "As long as your sister-in-law sees someone who looks like Fu Hongbin...I'll say she got it wrong."

"Can you go?" The driver urged impatiently.

"Come on, I'll come and play with you when I'm done here." Cao Cheng waved his hand and stood back.

Zhu Wenxuan said "En", got into the car and left.After the car drove for a while, he turned his head to look, and Cao Cheng was still standing there with an annoyed look on his face that he had offended him by his clumsy mouth.Having known each other for so many years, he knows what kind of person Cao Cheng is, just like he knows what kind of person Fu Hongbin is.

Cao Cheng would not aim at the target indiscriminately, and similarly, Fu Hongbin would not bother to make up excuses to lie to him that he was staying in a hotel because he was late with clients when he had no job.The customer I had contacted recently in the project happened to listen to his design concept in the meeting room the next day.

At the end of the exchange, he chatted with the other party, "This is the first time Mr. Zhang has come to a coastal city. Did you sleep well last night? Are you not used to the climate here?"

The other party answered him, "It's okay, but it's much hotter here. Our plane was delayed and we waited at the airport for two hours. We had a meal here with Manager Fu and Manager Liu of your company and went back to the hotel to sleep. , and slept until dawn before waking up."

Because it is a big customer, the round-trip air tickets are all booked by the company.During lunch, Zhu Wenxuan purposely sat down at a table with the beauty from the logistics department, and casually talked about clients.

The beauty told him, "We were supposed to arrive at eight o'clock, but the plane was delayed, and we didn't pick up the person until ten o'clock."

Outside the car, the sun was scorching hot.He stayed in this place for ten years from school to work. Originally, Fu Hongbin was with him, so he didn't think it was too bad that most of the months of the year were hot and there was no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter.But at this moment, when he found that some things began to pass away with the passage of time, deep in his heart, he missed the scenery of the four seasons in his hometown, his grandma and the walnut tree in the yard...
