far and near

Mao Xinxia, ​​who was discussing divorce with Shao Shengwei, originally lived in her natal home, but her parents said that it was unreasonable for a married daughter to live in her natal home with her children for so long.The implication is to let Mao Xinxia go back to her husband's house.

Yuan Huifang gritted her teeth and renovated the second house, which came in handy. She rented one to Mao Xinxia, ​​and the two lived opposite each other.The cost was originally several hundred yuan cheaper, but Mao Xinxia quit, "Sister Huifang, your house was demolished, and you have to rent a shop by yourself for a long time. This is not a small expense."

The two also made an appointment to try to find the store next door when they re-opened the store address. It was a bit difficult, and it took more than half a month to rent a storehouse on the street diagonally opposite the door of Baigong University. The cost was twice that of the village in the city. There are many, and the location is also close to grandma's house - college students have to walk a few minutes to the intersection to consume, and there is still a construction site next to it.

Yuan Huifang, who signed the agreement, settled the accounts with his daughter at home, "We will have a big house of 120 square meters, a frontage of 63 square meters, and an area compensation of 70 yuan, plus other moving and renting subsidies of less than [-] yuan. This money cannot be moved. I have to save it for you to study and get married in the future.”

Yuan Liu felt a little pity, "Mom, the two houses we bought have been vacant for a few years, and we still lost money if we didn't earn rent."

"Isn't there no money for decoration?" Yuan Huifang said, "We have to watch out for Liu Maosong, who has been asking around for how much money I have allocated during this time."

"Is it important?" Yuan Liu said he had some bad idea again, right?You are all divorced.

"I think he has an itchy skin." Yuan Huifang lay on the sofa in his new home with a sigh of relief, "It's your Auntie Mao who is in trouble." Shao Shengwei disagreed with the divorce, Mao Xinxia could only file a lawsuit after the mediation failed, but the lawsuit pays attention to evidence, Mao Xinxia No solid evidence at hand.

Yuan Liu also told Su Hai about this, and the little girl who had lost more than ten catties said that I would look for evidence of my stepfather's cheating.Wouldn't it be enough for me to follow him and take pictures of his cheating?Yuan Liu thought she was just talking, and she didn't realize something was wrong after not seeing Su Hai go to school for two days.

Even Mao Xinxia thought that Su Hai was going to school in a serious manner, and on weekends, when Su Hai said he was going to the gym, she took it seriously.On Sunday night, when Mao Xinxia was having dinner at Yuan Huifang's poor restaurant, a flushed Su Hai rushed into the restaurant, and the first thing she said was "I'm starving to death".

Yuan Liu filled a bowl full of rice for her best friend, and Su Hai lowered his head and ate in awe. Mao Xinxia smiled when he saw it, "Slow down." When the third bowl was eaten, Mao Xinxia said that you haven't practiced for nothing this day?

"It's not in vain." Su Hai took out his mobile phone and patted the table. "I went back to see Shao Junhan, and I didn't see my stepdad three times in a row. He's not at home." The girl with sweaty braids said she asked her younger brother's father Where will I take you to play?Shao Junhan actually took Su Hai to a building in the next neighborhood, "Dad brought me here, and Auntie gave me cotton candy."

Su Hai squatted in the small garden not far from this building and stared at it for four days, "What kind of broken community, I have to go to the KFC outside to go to the toilet, I dare not drink more water." Su Hai pressed the phone button, "Mom , do you think this is the stepdad? This is his—isn't it?"

Mao Xinxia saw the man and woman hugging each other intimately in the photo, gritted her teeth and said it was them, and turned to the bottom one, Shao Shengwei's hand was still grabbing the girl's butt.

Her face turned pale and red, while Su Hai held Yuan Huifang's big enamel jar to drink water, "Don't you want evidence? Mom, does this count? I'll take a video later."

Yuan Huifang also came over to look at it, Mao Xinxia covered her phone, "I...I want me to ask the lawyer." Feeling ashamed, she suddenly turned to Su Hai, "Why are you doing this?"

Isn't this more interesting than reading?Su Hai smiled and raised his chin towards Yuan Liu, "Mom, I can't let my stepfather bully you."

Mao Xinxia's face was gloomy, and she finally wiped Su Hai's sweat, "You don't have to worry about your lord's affairs, just study hard."

Su Hai said that would not work, Mom, I want to help you divide the house and facade through divorce.In a word, the warm mother-daughter relationship was deeply broken.Mao Xinxia looked at Yuan Huifang helplessly, "This child... admits to death." Yuan Huifang said that she is shrewd, accepting money, accepting money is good, not ashamed.

The hiccupping girl stood at the door of the barber shop and chatted with Yuan Liu, "I asked Bad Fengnian, and she said that the evidence was either emails or videotapes, so I'll just take pictures and videotape." It's good to have a straight line. In her eyes, what others are hesitant about becomes "just do it". As for how to do it, open your legs and open your mouth.

A fifteen-year-old girl, wearing jeans and a flowered sweater, stood at the door of the store with her hips on her hips, looking at the university in front of her, "Xiao Liu, I always feel that my mother's storefront is not right." After she lost weight, although her cheeks were still Some babies are fat, but their skin is white, their eyes are quite big, their heads are raised and their mouths are pouting, which makes the girls on their bodies more and more cute.

"I also think it's wrong, it's a bit far from the main entrance of the University of Technology." Yuan Liu said that since moving here, business has not been easy.

What should I do then?Su Hai and Yuan Liu came up with a plan together, asking two mothers for a budget of 500 yuan to print leaflets, and when they had time, they stuffed them into the arms of college students at the intersection, calling "brother and sister" sweetly.

The two adults who thought they were messing around didn't want new customers to come to their door. The college student who ate said that Auntie, your food is much better than our cafeteria. Why didn't anyone deliver it to our dormitory?

So Yuan Liu started posting food order advertisements. Yuan Huifang answered the phone in the store to prepare fast food, and Yuan Liu delivered it on a bicycle after school.The mother and daughter worked even harder, and finally stabilized the business of the new store.Su Hai’s barber shop adopted a preferential policy for washing, cutting, blow-drying and ironing based on the dormitory, and the business has improved a lot.

The two children who have lost their eyes in order to make money did not expect to run into Qi Yiguo, whom they had not seen for a year, in front of the gate of Baizhou Industry. They were dumbfounded when they put the flyer in front of the doctor, "Sister doctor?"

Xiao Qi, who was wearing a khaki suit and seemed to be bored while waiting with his hands behind his back, was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little awkwardly, "It's you." She went to the village in the city in the morning, and found that there was only a dusty sky besides ruined walls. How do you know where the barber shop and restaurant will be moved?

Yuan Liu looked around, "Are you waiting for Sister Yu Ren?"

Xiao Qi hesitated for a while, and said softly no, just waiting for a friend.She looked lower than when she met last year. Yuan Liu felt that the doctor's sister seemed to be four or five years older, and even the cleverness and mischievousness of the previous body were gone.

Qi Yiguo looked at the two children and smiled, "It's grown taller again." Looking at the leaflets they both sent out, "Oh, you have a good way of making money, and you have targeted advertising at home, Xiaoliu, you're a 'three meat and two vegetarians' winner but the mess in the cafeteria "Countless" is well written, and hits the pain points of college students." She smiled at the slogan, and then looked at Su Hai's post, "Tinfoil perm, ion perm, hair root positioning, firework perm, and the whole audience are [-]% off!" Xiao Qi smiled so much that his eyes rolled , "Did you spend your money?"

"Some earn." Su Hai whispered to her while covering his mouth.

At this moment, Xiao Qi looked like the doctor's sister in their impression. She pocketed the two orders, "I'll eat tomorrow, and I'll get my hair done by the way. Welcome?"

Su Hai said of course welcome, Yuan Liu nodded, his big eyes made Xiao Qi turn his face uncomfortably.Qi Yiguo knew what Yuan Liu wanted to ask, she said I should go by myself, isn't your sister Yu Ren busy?

Yuan Liu's black eyes rolled, "Sister Yu Ren knows you're back?"

Qi Yiguo nodded, knowing, "I have an appointment with her for dinner tonight." She touched her lower lip, "These days she accompanied the leader to visit and investigate residential areas, and she will come back later tonight, or we will go Xiaoliu's family has dinner."

The two children are still staring at Qi Yiguo, what Su Hai thinks is what does her hair look like?How do American hair stylists cut such earthy hairstyles?Exposed the doctor's sister's brain door as much as possible.Yuan Liu compared her "chain of evidence" in secret, and she saw the intimacy between Yu Ren and Dr. Yu in the barber shop last year.

She was also confused, is it because Yu Ren's "one-legged" sister is very caring and intimate with these adult friends? Didn't Yu Ren also call out curly sister's hair?

"Huh?" Qi Yiguo saw what Yuan Liu was thinking about, "You don't go to school in the afternoon? Are you handing out leaflets here at noon?"

Yuan Liu just woke up, "Oh my god, I'm going to be late!" She pulled Su Hai away, "It's the first math class in the afternoon!" As she walked, she greeted Xiao Qi, "See you tomorrow, sister doctor!"

"Guoguo." Cao Yun's excited voice came from behind, Xiao Qi turned his head and smiled at her, with tenderness in his eyes, as if deliberately avoiding heat.

Standing in front of Xiao Qi, Cao Yun stretched out her hand to smooth her long hair, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" She wanted to reach out to hold Xiao Qi, but she could only hold back at the gate of her school.

The two walked a few steps side by side, before Qi Yiguo said, "I'm back this time—" Cao Yun answered when she was hesitating, "I understand." She said it was a surprise that you could find time to see me, but you It is the first priority to clean up your own affairs.It's okay to be tight this time. I'll see you again when I'm on summer vacation.

When the two crossed the zebra crossing, Cao Yun gently pulled Xiao Qi down, then withdrew her hand, "Slow down." She asked Xiao Qi as if chatting, "Have you made an appointment with her?"

Qi Yiguo nodded, "I contacted you as soon as I got off the plane last night. She didn't answer the meeting at the time. I came back at ten o'clock in the evening and made an appointment tonight." She looked around the newly built high-rise square near the university, "It's almost a few months Just change it."

The two found a relatively quiet restaurant called Jane. Cao Yun helped Xiao Qi cut the steak, but she couldn't eat it herself. Her watery eyes always looked at each other. Qi Yiguo said that I knew I was in a bad state.

Cao Yun smiled, "It won't be good to change anyone." When her face flashed with sadness, Xiao Qi held her hand under the table, "Yunyun, I'm sorry." Cao Yun also shook her palm, " I won't bother you these few days, can you contact me when you need me?"

Qi Yiguo nodded, and Cao Yun pinched her cheek lightly, "Eat quickly."

Xiao Qi ate a mouthful of beef, chewed it for a long time, and then asked Cao Yun in a low voice, "Am I particularly immature?" I get things done.

"You are much more sensible than when you were studying." Cao Yun said that you were overbearing back then, and you had to forcefully arrange things that you obviously couldn't make up your mind about.Guoguo, after going abroad for several years, you have no intention of turning back?

At the end of the silence, Xiao Qi said that she couldn't turn back. She had already adapted to the work and life abroad, but this time she had to come back anyway.

Cao Yun rushed to the big class in the afternoon, and Xiao Qi drank afternoon tea in this simple restaurant, and when the cups were refilled countless times, it was dark, and the lights in Baizhou outside had a new taste, she looked at it for a while Feel very lively.Under the intersecting streetlights and neon lights, a short-haired girl in a beige trench coat and a white shirt was walking towards her. She couldn't help standing up, her heart beating faster.This beating is not from the throbbing of love, but from the fear of being executed.

After working overtime, Yu Ren saw Xiao Qi outside the restaurant, she nodded slightly, and then walked in.

When the two met, there was no pleasant atmosphere, Xiao Qi had no choice but to ask what do you want to eat?Yu Ren ordered a simple salad, and Qi Yiguo found that her speech was simpler and clearer than before, and her eye movements became more sophisticated.

Yu Ren's eyes didn't change from the previous tenderness. She raised her cup and took a sip of coffee, "Yiguo, I didn't expect you to come back to China to see me at this time." Her voice flowed out slowly, and there was no dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Caicai, although we have reached an agreement on the Internet, I think it is necessary to apologize to you in person." Xiao Qi thought for several days after Yu Ren's heartfelt words, and finally he was able to tell the truth, "Cao Yun came to you last year. Look at me, I have taken care of me for a few days, and I feel that I am beginning to be a little confused about her." The indistinctness is like one side of a coin, and the other side is "something", Yu Ren said that you came back to see her during the Spring Festival?

Qi Yiguo said no, the family urged her to come back because of her grandfather.The old man was not in good health, and he had been lying in the old cadre ward of Baizhou Hospital for more than a month. The few days during the Chinese New Year were more dangerous.

Hearing this, Yu Ren felt a little better, but he no longer showed any grievances.Grievance is also like one side of a coin. For Yu Ren, the other side says "dignity".She and Qi Yiguo finally faced the end of this relationship together: they did not whitewash the peace, nor did they paralyze themselves, and both of them covered that relationship with a white cloth after death.Xiao Qi said sorry.Yu Ren was extremely calm, and he said that time is fate.

She didn't even continue to ask Qi Yiguo, "How much do you love me? How much do you love her?" Yu Ren didn't want to be shared.What she left for Qi Yiguo was a hard back, neither crying nor making trouble, neither sad nor angry, rational as a piece of ice.Since then, she has hardly replied to Xiao Qi's messages.

The person she loved was sitting opposite, Yu Ren just glanced at Xiao Qi's face full of shame, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for asking me out."

Qi Yiguo realized that the girl in front of her was like the first time she had waited in front of the dormitory door during the winter vacation that year. She wrapped herself in politeness and kept a distance from each other defensively.Yu Ren said that there is no need to apologize, I did something badly, I didn't seriously consider your proposal, and walked down with the idea of ​​muddling along.She shook her hand holding the fork, immediately put down the cutlery, raised her head and smiled at Qi Yiguo, "You are destined. With such a distance, she can still show up when you need it most. This luck is lacking between us." some."

Yiguo, thank you for finally being honest.Yu Ren wiped his mouth, stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Qi, looking at his ex-lover with a smile, "I wish you happiness and an early reunion."

Qi Yiguo stood up slowly, holding Yu Ren's cold fingertips with red eyes, "I—" She wanted to say that I actually proposed to Cao Yun to get back together after I broke up with you.Saying it like this is like erecting an archway, her lips moved, and she watched Yu Ren withdraw her fingertips, "I have to go back to work overtime at night, let's take a step first." Yu Ren wrote a lot of materials, and now the whole The pen holder of the unit.

Before Yu Ren left, she looked directly at Qi Yiguo. Her eyes were like a fire burning. After carefully scanning every inch of her ex-lover's face, she raised her lips and smiled. This smile blocked what she was about to say impulsively.Yu Ren picked up her bag and left her seat, Xiao Qi sent her out, Yu Ren said it's okay, you stay.They looked at each other for a few seconds, and Yu Ren compromised, "Then go to the door."

Walking out of the restaurant, Yu Ren turned around and looked at Xiao Qi, "Goodbye."

"Cai Cai—" Xiao Qi called her, "Thank you."

Yu Ren stopped and turned around, "I was very happy in those years, Yiguo, thank you too."

When Yu Rengang was at work, he compared the gait difference between himself and the head of the unit, Secretary Wen, and felt that his walking was too slow and steady, so he gradually let go of his pace after Secretary Wen, and walked faster and faster.She left Xiao Qi behind, and walked vigorously step by step until she reached a turning point that no one knew. curl up.

After almost a year of work, Yu Ren found that he was more and more able to hide himself without changing his face.In the first relationship, Yu Ren was so stupid that he used intimate physical communication to try to save the love.When it came to the second relationship, she knew how to dissect herself, cut off the most painful and helpless piece of myocardium and frozen it, and brought her adult demeanor to the extreme.

Demeanor is actually a terrible thing. If you lose face in the front, you won't be able to walk back home, and you won't be able to cry on the road.Yu Ren felt that it was getting colder and colder. She buried her head and held back her tears until a familiar "sister" woke her up—Yuan Liu, who had delivered the last meal by bicycle, stopped the car, and she looked at Yu Ren in a daze.

Yu Ren was stunned and then smiled, "Xiao Liu?" She hoped that her smile would last longer, so she put her hands on the bench, "Well——I'm passing by after get off work, so sit here for a while."

Yuan Liu parked the car and walked towards Yu Ren. She felt that Yu Ren's smile was sad, and something might have happened.

"You go home first, be careful on the road." Yu Ren's tone was a little trembling.And Yuan Liu squatted down, looked up at Yu Ren, "Sister, I'm riding a bike, you sit in the back, and I'll take you to the bus stop, okay?"

Yu Ren looked away, and finally nodded.

The girl who had started to grow tall was riding a bicycle, and the remaining leaflets in the basket were occasionally shaken. Yuan Liu did not speak, and her ears tried to catch the breath of her sister behind her.Yu Ren's hand held her waist, warm and itchy, like a feather scraping the tip of her nose.Yuan Liu stepped on the bike, the axles creaked on the asphalt road, and soon she passed the first platform.Yu Ren didn't seem to notice the stop, but stared at the ground, letting tears stay on the road drop by drop.After crying, he slowly returned to the Yu Ren who couldn't get in the water.

Yuan Liu could sense it, she tried not to look back at her sister, and quickly rode past the second platform and the third platform, until she was approaching the street where Yu Ren's house was located four or ten minutes later, Yu Ren came back to her senses, "Xiao Liu?" She whispered in surprise .

"Sister is coming soon." Yuan Liu was still not in a hurry, but Yu Ren's hand unconsciously hugged her even tighter.

"Stop it, I'll go home by myself, you've ridden too far." Yu Ren said in a nasal voice.

"Sister, it's not far away. I'm riding very steadily. Look, your neighborhood is in front of you." Yuan Liu still braked slowly so that Yu Ren could jump out of the back seat.

In fact, Yu Ren didn't want to go home now, she looked into Yuan Liu's eyes, and was touched by the glistening sweat on the girl's face, "Why didn't you remind me?" She took out a tissue from her bag with red eyes Wipe away Yuan Liu's sweat.

"Because...my sister is thinking about something, I don't want to disturb you." Yuan Liu smiled and was stunned. Yu Ren had already hugged her, and sighed in the girl's ear, "It's nice to let my sister hug her."

Yuan Liu opened his mouth and grinned after staying there for a long time—the treatment has been upgraded.
