Yu Duo leaned on the railing of the atrium of the shopping mall, looking at the bustling crowd at his feet.

He is waiting for Jiang Chiyu. The hardcover house they bought together last month has finally been handed over. Large pieces of furniture have already entered the market one after another. Today they met at the mall to buy some small things.

The place where Yu Duo is now is the newly completed shopping mall in Tangcun, which is divided into two districts, AB and AB, connected by an aerial corridor in the middle. Their new home is in the community across the street.

After the renovation and reconstruction of Tangcun, the name is still "Tangcun". For this reason, some buildings with a long history in Tangcun have been specially preserved, and a cultural block has been created in combination with cultural tourism real estate.This former "scar of the city" has been transformed into a total of 5 residential buildings, two shopping malls, and two [-]A-grade office buildings.

Today is the opening day of the shopping mall, and the atrium of District B next door is holding a lively opening ceremony. No one would have thought that the owner of the developer, who was supposed to give a generous speech at the ceremony, is now idly mingling among the crowd.

"Brother Yu?"

However, someone still recognized him. A familiar voice sounded from behind Yu Duo, and he turned his head in response.

Standing behind him is a middle-aged man, whom he hasn't seen for many years. His head is bald and he has gained a lot of weight. He was wearing a thick striped POLO shirt in the car. This outfit makes him look older than his actual age. how old.

"Asheng?" But Yu Duo recognized him at a glance, and took a step forward in surprise: "Long time no see, when did you come back?"

It turned out that this person was Ah Sheng who worked under Chen Li with Yu Duo and Simao in the early days. Not long after Yu Duo became independent and led the team, after earning his first pot of gold, he took his then girlfriend back to his hometown to get married.

"Brother Yu, it's really you! I almost didn't dare to recognize you just now." A Sheng was also very happy to meet Yu Duo here. He took the woman beside him and bent down to hug a little girl on the ground. Huai Li: "This is my wife Huiling, and this is my daughter Xiaoya."

Yu Duo first greeted Hui Ling, and then teased the little girl. Hui Ling knew Yu Duo and greeted him shyly, while Xiao Ya opened her big eyes and looked at him curiously. Looking at the strange uncle in front of him.

It’s rare to meet old friends, so A Sheng suggested finding a place to sit down and talk slowly, but Xiaoya was too young to sit on the seat, so Huiling had to take her to the children’s playground, while Yu Duo and A Sheng were sitting on the outside , surrounded by a bunch of ocean ball foam castles, chatting about their current situation.

"Do you have any plans to come back and develop?" Yu Duo asked Ah Sheng: "Now the company has a suitable position for you."

When Ah Sheng first returned to his hometown, he kept in touch with Yu Duo and the others from time to time. Later, perhaps because Yu Duo was too busy with work, or because his life circles did not overlap, unknowingly, a group of blessings appeared on WeChat during the New Year and holidays. They hadn't spoken to each other for years.

"Forget it, I'm doing well in my hometown now, I have my own small business, and the whole family has no worries about food and clothing." A Sheng looked at his wife and daughter not far away, and said to Yu Duo: "Actually, in the early years, my mentality was really good. There is some imbalance, and I deliberately alienated you. Seeing that you, Simao, and Da Neng have achieved a lot in their careers, I regret why I didn’t stay and start a business with you.”

Hearing Ah Sheng talk about this matter, Yu Duo shook his head with a wry smile.Every time he recalled his old friends, he always wondered whether it was right or wrong for him to bring them to do this.

"Later I figured it out, and I am very satisfied with my life now." A Sheng said with a smile: "There are so many ifs in life, so I thought, quitting in time at that time may be the most correct way for me. s Choice."

A Sheng was talking, when Yu Duo's cell phone rang suddenly, and then A Sheng saw Yu Duo's eyes, which had become a little dim because of this sad topic, lit up in an instant.

"The person I was waiting for is here." Yu Duo bowed his head and replied a message, stood up and bid farewell to Ah Sheng: "We will meet again when we have a chance."

***

As soon as Yu Duo arrived at the entrance of the mall, he saw Jiang Chiyu leaning on the shopping cart, waiting outside the door bored.

Today, the flagship store of a major international luxury brand officially settled in the high-end shopping mall under Guihu, and many celebrities and celebrities were invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.Jiang Chiyu just came back from the scene, still wearing a slightly formal suit, pushing a bright yellow shopping cart in his hand, looking a bit nondescript.

As soon as he saw Jiang Chiyu, Yu Duo couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and quickened his steps to meet him.

"Jiang Chiyu, you have some skills." Yu Duo teased him: "I haven't been under my nose for a while, and I have been rumored with a female celebrity."

Another oolong happened today. Jiang Chiyu, as the general manager of Guihu, was invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony with the brand's executives and celebrities at the brand opening ceremony. Later, it was rumored to be one of them. The boyfriend of a female star, and he said it clearly.

Yu Duo has been teasing him about this incident on WeChat all night.

"You can say it directly if you are jealous." Seeing Yu Duo approaching, Jiang Chiyu stretched out his hand towards him, and very naturally put his hand in his palm, and rubbed his thumb on his tiger's mouth: "Isn't it good to wait for me at the entrance of the mall?" ?”

"I just met a friend." Yu Duo came to Jiang Chiyu's side, deliberately ignored his previous sentence, and walked into the mall side by side with him.

"Oh? Such a coincidence, who did you meet?" Jiang Chiyu asked.

Yu Duo said: "Ah Sheng, you still remember, it was the big tall guy on our construction site before."

Jiang Chiyu said solemnly: "Of course I remember, one of your little followers, you guys form cliques all day long, and deliberately squeezed me out."

How long ago was the old Huangli, and Yu Duo was amused by Jiang Chiyu's narrow-mindedness: "Stop talking nonsense."

The two of them pushed the cart, like an ordinary couple, stopping and chatting and wandering along the way.The products of this home furnishing supermarket brand are obviously not high-end for the urban middle class. As two senior bumpkins who are not particular about life, Yu Duo and Jiang Chiyu feel that everything they see is suitable for home use.

The two of them strolled from the third floor to the first floor, and quickly filled up the huge shopping cart, which almost couldn't even fit in the trunk.

After finally transporting the purchased things back to the new home, the two spent some time sitting on the carpet and assembling small gadgets such as drain baskets and shelves together.

After everything was tidied up, the newly bought sheets were washed and dried in the drying oven just installed yesterday.

Yu Duo volunteered to go to the balcony to take back the sheets, turned his head and went into the room, before he had time to make them up, Jiang Chiyu threw them onto the brand new big bed with the sheets.

The bed sheet was just taken out of the drying box, it was fragrant and warm, and it was crumpled into a ball of prunes in an instant after being pressed by Yu Duo.

"Don't mess around, it hasn't been cleaned up yet." Yu Duo made a gesture to get away.

"I don't care." Jiang Chiyu pulled Yu Duo out of the flyer, and kissed delicately and gently on his forehead, nose, and lips one after another.

After the kiss was over, Jiang Chiyu's breath stopped on Yu Duo's lips, "Brother, we have a family now."

"That's right." Yu Duo looked back at Jiang Chiyu and said with a smile, "We have a family now."

"Home" used to be such a distant word for them. Every time he stood at the intersection and looked at the lights on the buildings, Yu Duo couldn't help but think about the lights of thousands of houses in this city. , when can I have my own one.

At the moment, the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, lying on a soft mattress, holding Jiang Chiyu in his arms, the volume of the TV in the living room was turned down, and the evening news was playing.

Everything he owns is so perfect that Yu Duo has no sense of reality until now. He always feels that when he wakes up tomorrow, he will find that it is just a dream, and he is still sleeping alone in the colored leather room on the construction site .

For no reason, he remembered what Ah Sheng said today.

Jiang Chiyu noticed Yu Duo's abnormality, pinched his chin, and made him look at him.

"Missed?" Jiang Chiyu lowered his head and sucked the tip of Yu Duo's tongue, picked him up and pressed him on the bedside, and said against his lips, "It seems that I didn't perform well tonight."

The ends of Yu Duo's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth quickly so as not to make any embarrassing noises.He didn't dare to criticize Jiang Chiyu's performance. He heard that once a man turned 25, there was only half of his skin left. Why couldn't he see any signs of this with Jiang Chiyu, who could pester him several times in one night.

Before the curtains could be installed in the new home, Jiang Chiyu didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After the end of the First World War, he carried Yu Duo into the bathroom. The sheets that had just been washed were balled up again and thrown into the washing machine.

Stretching his long legs, Yu Duo lay down in the bathtub with some exhaustion, half-closed his eyes, and let Jiang Chiyu apply shampoo to his hair.

"After this year, let's slowly close the company's stall." Jiang Chiyu held the shower and carefully rinsed the foam off Yu Duo's hair. "Turn your head a little, the water is about to enter your ears."

Yu Duo tilted his head according to the words, and opened his eyes a little: "You think so too?"

"En." Jiang Chiyu put down the shower, picked up a towel beside him, and dried Yu Duo's hair: "It's better to retreat bravely than to fetch water from the bamboo basket in the future."

Real estate development is about to reach a bottleneck, and the industry will soon be reshuffled. In the future, a large number of real estate companies will fail. If you can choose to let go at the right time, it will be a success.

"I've saved some money these years." Yu Duo raised his head and looked at Jiang Chiyu with a smile: "Now we have a family, as long as we don't get into any bad habits of pornography, gambling and drugs, this family should not be defeated."

"After early retirement, what do you want to do?" Jiang Chiyu asked.

Yu Duo thought for a while, and replied: "Find a book to read, and then do some other small business."

"Well, it sounds good." Jiang Chiyu added some hot water to the bathtub, turned around and walked into the shower room, and simply took a shower for himself.

Yu Duo lay on his back in the bathtub, and joked, "I won't be the big boss in the future, so don't dislike me."

"It's not like I haven't seen you when you were poorer." Jiang Chiyu came out of the shower room, his body was wet with moisture.He came to the edge and sat down, bent down, held Yu Duo's face, kissed him on the tip of the nose, and said with a smile: "No matter what you are, I love you."

Preparing a new home is a complicated and cumbersome project. Although there are still many things that are not ready and life is not very convenient, neither of them wants to leave tonight, so they will stay here first.

The newly purchased air conditioner has not yet been installed at the door, but the two of them sleep together and don't feel cold.

Jiang Chiyu beside him had already fallen asleep, Yu Duo took off the book covering his face for him, seeing his cute sleeping position, couldn't help kissing his lips.

Before falling asleep, Yu Duo thought in his heart that tomorrow will be a better day.
