I have time

The rented house of the Yi family is located in the northern suburb of Meichuan. Firstly, because Meiheling Prison is located in the north of Meichuan, it is more convenient to take a car from here;

The house is a bit small, even more cramped than the old house in Building 17 of the glass factory. The so-called living room will be enough to turn around, and it will be dark from morning till night if the lights are not turned on.There are two bedrooms, one big and one small, Yi's parents live in the big one, and Su Yile used to live in the small one, but now that he's back, the two brothers have to squeeze together.

It was getting dark, Yi Chengfeng took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer of the small desk, lit it, walked through the balcony built by the landlord privately, walked to the small courtyard outside, sat down on an old wicker chair at the base of the wall, and sat down for a long time. The legs are carried on the opposite stone pier.

The lunch was so sumptuous that the two amateur and professional cooks at home wanted to set up a table full of Chinese people to feed him, so that no one wanted to mention the meal at night.

He has not been at home these years, but the family has undergone tremendous changes. It seems that in the past he never dared to show even the slightest smell of cigarettes in front of his parents, but now his mother buys cigarettes for him and keeps them in the drawer.

Everyone else's family is getting better and better, but his family returned to the pre-liberation overnight, wishing to make a fortune out of thin air.

Yi Chengfeng looked up at the old locust tree with crooked neck in the small courtyard. He had the impression that locust trees were all delicate and straight, and it was rare to see them crooked like this.

It is crooked a little, but the flowers on it bloomed luxuriantly, shaking down with the night wind.

When they were in the glass factory, their family also lived on the first floor, and there were rows of pagoda trees outside the window...

Yi Chengfeng squinted his eyes in the smoke, picked up a Sophora japonica flower that fell between his fingers, and put it in his mouth. The acrid smoke overflowed with a faint sweetness, and chewed carefully, it was slightly bitter.

The small wooden door was pushed open by Zhi Ya, Su Yile looked out, and his brother really hid here.

He also moved a chair and sat down next to Yi Chengfeng, stretched out his hand to take a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth, leaning his head over to confront his brother.

Yi Chengfeng raised his hand and smoked the cigarette from his mouth, "Little brat, don't learn this stuff. Who will eat the dishes you cook in the future if they smell like cigarettes? You can only change your career to grill skewers."

Su Yile curled her lips, people who consider themselves adults like to set rules for others and break them themselves.He is so temperamental that he doesn't talk back, and he doesn't smoke if he doesn't smoke, so he just took out his mobile phone and tapped on the screen.

Yi Chengfeng looked at him and curled his lips, "The chat is so lively, have you got a girlfriend yet? You are... twenty."

Two years younger than Yan Yu.He is already 22, and he still has the face of a child. He is like the one in school, and that kind of innocent environment is more suitable for him.

"No, it's Brother Xiaodan'er. He said that they had dinner together after they went back, in the small restaurant in the dangerous building, the place that Brother Yan Yu chose."

Su Yile turned to look at his brother's face, but couldn't see any clues, "Brother Xiaodaner said that he didn't talk and didn't eat much, and even drank some wine with them...Brother, you ignore Yan Brother Yu, he must be feeling bad..."

Yi Chengfeng dusted off the cigarette ash, his black eyes drooped, "I don't know how bad it is now, you bastard, who made him stay in Meichuan back then! Staying here won't be as good as him."

He didn't have time for Su Yile to speak up, and immediately asked, "You just work in the restaurant next to Xiaoren'er's mother?"

Su Yile nodded, and mentioned that his interest in making money was obviously much higher, "I have been paid for four months, the basic salary is [-], and the commission is almost [-]! I can get more when I start cooking independently in the future. "

Although he doesn't earn a lot, the child is a Pixiu. He basically doesn't spend money at ordinary times. The store provides food, and the clothes are not worn out or bought new. He only needs to recharge his bus card and phone bills to count his daily expenses.

"I want Second Aunt to resign the gardener in the country park. It's summer and the sun is blowing. If I say I won't listen to her, you can persuade her."

Yi Chengfeng nodded, "I can't let them suffer anymore, I'll go and tell her."

During the past two years when his father borrowed money for medical treatment, the family life was unimaginably difficult. Even his grandparents took out the coffin book to help them.But even so, his mother paid him money to the card he used every month, and it was never one day late or one point less, just for fear that he would be wronged.

"Second aunt is mainly anxious to pay back the money. Brother Katie and the others are really kind. They have never asked for it, and they always say that they are not in a hurry. Brother, do you have any plans after you come back?"

"Look for a job, make money, go out and have a look tomorrow." Regardless of whether he is moving bricks or smashing walls, he hasn't learned much in these years, and he hasn't let up his strength at all. It's time for him to pay off his debts.

The furnishing in the hut was the same as his original room, and I don't know how his parents dumped all the furniture, even the study desk was left.

Yi Chengfeng touched the small wooden snake on the table, pinched its thin neck and rubbed it vigorously with his fingertips.

With his tail crossed and his head held high, he looks quite pompous, grinning as if he wants to bite someone at any time, probably this is what he looks like?

It wasn't until these years that he saw himself clearly, no matter how majestic you are, you are just a snake, crawling and rolling in the ditch, with your bad temper melted in your bones, even with five claws, you can't become a dragon or climb up sky.

He put the little snake back, and tapped the opponent's wooden head with his index finger: You idiot, don't play with him, your IQ has been lowered, right?Go back to the sky and be your little fairy, there is nothing good in the muddy smelly dog ​​here, it is not suitable for you, no, suitable, suitable.

The little snake stared at him with big eyes, and looked at him stupidly. He neither agreed nor refuted, and just lay there obediently and motionless.

***

There is a corner coffee bar in the restaurant of the test center. By the circular 270-degree viewing window, Yan Yu and Zhuang Meichan are seated opposite each other.

The 44-year-old Zhuang Meichan is still young and beautiful, and her gestures have added a calm charm that is rarely seen in girls, which is quite eye-catching.She took a sip of the latte in front of her, frowned and threw two cubes of sugar into it. She doesn't like the bitter taste of coffee, which is probably the rare commonality between mother and son.

"Have you finished dealing with the school affairs?"

Zhuang Meichan glanced at the cup of mocha in front of her son, which was deliberately drawn out with a heart-shaped pattern, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes swept over the waitress with her head lowered and blushing, pretending to be busy, as if she saw the old woman in a daze. Own.

Her indescribable expression was not difficult to understand, Yan Yu raised his hand and stirred up the pattern on the coffee, "It's all taken care of, I just moved everything to the apartment here yesterday."

"You really plan to stay here and not go back to Liancheng?"

"Yes, no." Yan Yu gave a firm answer, "If you want to live in the house in Yongjing Garden after you go back, I will tell the lawyer to ask them to end the lease as soon as possible to make room for cleaning. If you want to find another place to live , I can also ask them to help pay attention."

Yongjing Garden is a high-end residential area with an excellent location in Liancheng. The only property that Yan Xiao left to his son in his will is this 200-square-meter villa. He has never even seen it. After the age of eight, the rental income of this house is no longer transferred to the account of the guardian Zhuang Meichan, but directly transferred to him.

Yan Yu rented an apartment near the testing center. The rent here is cheap and doesn't cost much. His biggest expense is still on his mother.

Recently, Zhuang Meichan and Dong Hongjie broke up amicably. Before the separation, Yan Yu didn't know about it, and suddenly received a divorce certificate photo from his mother. It didn't feel particularly horrifying, but at such a coincidental time, it seemed that Zhuang Meichan deliberately asked someone to help her. She raised her son like that.

As soon as her son graduated and became financially independent, she broke up with her.

Zhuang Meichan tilted her head to admire her newly made nails, and said lightly, "Of course I won't live there, but I haven't really thought about where yet. Let's find a better and quieter place to live. I'm older. Can't stand the noise at all..."

Bustling = noisy?Well, if she had to live far away from hair and beauty treatments, she would probably have to provide her with a driver.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to keep an eye on it, and show you some suitable information." The coffee in front of him is getting cold, and Yan Yu doesn't want to touch it again, "Why don't you go and relax during this time, just let me help you Find a place to live."

Zhuang Meichan nodded disinterestedly, and the phone on the table ding-dong, showing that there was an extra 5 yuan in her bank card.

"There are only so many at hand. You can plan your itinerary. It's not bad to go north this season. You should be able to go shopping for a month if you save some money."

"..." Said it as if your mother was a prodigal?

Manager Li of the testing center led a young man in. The man had a straight back, dressed in a haute couture shirt, and wore a suit jacket on his arm.

The man glanced at the corner by the window seemingly unintentionally, and Manager Li quickly followed suit, "Hey, it's a coincidence, that's the high-achieving student Yan Yu mentioned to you, named Yan Yu...Xiao Yan!"

Before Wei Qiancheng had time to stop him, Manager Li had already called out to stop him.

Yan Yu turned his head when he heard the sound, the surprise was in his eyes, but there was a light and decent smile on his face, like a snow pear flower awakened by a night of spring breeze.

"Manager Li, President Wei."

This time it was Wei Qiancheng's turn to be surprised.

Yan Sinian talked to this baby from the Amway Test Center more than once. Last week, he also saw Yan Yu's patent application materials on the utility model and design of the household air purifier. He was indeed a very creative young man. He said yes Not at all, baby.

Moreover, this is not the first time he has seen Yan Yu, strictly speaking, it should be the third time, but he always thought that the other two people should have no impression of the other two times, so Yan Yu turned the wheelchair to greet them, and accurately It was a real surprise to recognize him.

Could it be that the impression I made on him was as deep as the one he made on myself?

Wei Qiancheng has passed by, and has been immersed in the mall for many years. He has long practiced the magical skill of not showing emotions, so Shang Ke calmly returned a boss-level kind smile and asked, "Where did we meet before?"

Yan Yu raised his face slightly, his fair face was quiet and harmless, "No, I have seen your photos on the company intranet more than once."

It turned out to be sauce!Mr. Wei was stunned, and turned his eyes to the only lady, "Who is this?"

"It's my mother." Yan Yu answered naturally, without the slightest embarrassment of being caught by the boss for deserting work, and introduced them to both parties.

Zhuang Meichan nodded Shi Shiran, "You guys are busy, I'll go first."

"I'll send it to you."

"Come to my office."

The employee and the boss spoke almost at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Wei Qiancheng turned his head and told Manager Li, "Ask the driver to see Mrs. Yan off."

Then he said to Yan Yu, "Come to my office in 15 minutes and discuss the patent issue."

"it is good."

Why does every boss who comes to inspect have to talk to him about patents?Technology, do you really understand?

Mr. Wei turned around the corridor with a cup of takeaway coffee, and Manager Li followed behind him step by step.

"That Mrs. Yan... looks familiar."

Manager Li's gossip soul was suddenly released like a revelation, "She is Dong Zong's wife, ex-wife, and second marriage. Noah's, Dong Hongjie."

Oh--

Just now I called someone Mrs. Yan, but it seems that calling Mrs. Dong is even more weird...

"Huh? I remember the land in the center..."

"That's right, that's Yan! Yan Xiao, you may have heard of this person in Liancheng. Their family used to be an OEM, maybe you've seen him before."

Wei Qiancheng raised his eyebrows, he had heard of it, but let alone seen it.It has been seven or eight years since Yan Xiao passed away. How many years has it been since he came back from abroad and started working as a thousand presents?

There is actually such a connection, "So it's Yan Xiao's orphan..."

Eh?Manager Li was a little confused, didn't we just talk about that beautiful woman, why did the wind change?

"Ahem, uh, it is indeed a child raised by a wealthy family. It is not easy. There is nothing to say about professional ability, but also very hardworking. He often works overtime with those old engineers."

"Take out his labor contract and give it to me."

So, when Yan Yu saw President Wei again in the office, a big sweet date was thrown in front of him.

On the laid out labor contract, Wei Qiancheng smartly changed P2 to P3 in the rank column with a signature pen, "If you are willing to go back to work at the headquarters in Liancheng, this level can be directly changed to P4."

P4 is already a senior manager level in the technical sequence, which is a bit unbelievable for a newcomer who just graduated. After all, Yan Sinian is only P6, and he is 20 years behind him in work experience!

Yan Yu was embarrassed, as if he had heard a not-so-funny joke, and gave a purely consoling smile, "Mr. Wei, you praised me. If you have read my resume, you will probably know that I actually have a class I have never been a cadre before, and I can do technically well, but I am not really good at leading a team.”

Xin said: Is the boss of this company mentally ill? Those who don’t know think he wants to rule me unspoken!Let me, a person in my early twenties who just graduated from school, manage those seniors who have been working for several years and want to change jobs, and they will be picked up. Isn't the company going to close down?

"You are from Liancheng, you don't plan to go back?"

"It's true that I have no plans to go back for the time being. I just got familiar with the work here, and I want to stay and practice."

Don't force me to say the standard answer.

Wei Qiancheng gave an expression of understanding that he didn't know whether it was true or not, "Is it because your mother is here?"

"Well, it's one of the reasons."

Stop asking, is the employee obliged to explain so much?Besides, one of the reasons is about to return to Liancheng by himself, so do you need him to give a second reason?Can't you get a promotion and raise your salary?

"You don't need to answer me now." Wei Qiancheng continued to paint P3 more heavily with a pen, as if he unilaterally amended the contract to have legal effect, "The company will respect individual wishes, but if you change your mind, Liancheng will Welcome."

After leaving the office, Yan Yu was just about to exhale the shock, when suddenly a notification came in from his mobile phone: Your rank has been adjusted to P3 from now on, and the basic salary has been adjusted simultaneously. Thank you for your outstanding contributions to the company before! ——Qiancheng Technology Human Resources

Yan Yu raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, no wonder everyone in the company likes to scold human resources, did he forget that he just terminated the internship contract and signed a formal labor contract?The days of becoming a full-time employee can be counted on one hand, but where is the outstanding contribution?

***

Yan Yu hadn't seen Yi Chengfeng for more than a month since the glimpse at Meihe Ridge. Several times he mustered up the courage to dial his previous number, but he got through, but no one answered.

Taking a taxi from the glass factory in the south to this dilapidated and desolate group rental community in the northern suburbs, the fare jumped out of triple digits.

The driver held a hundred-yuan bill and looked at the light before putting it in his pocket, "I said young man, you don't look like you live in this area, you can come here alone at night. You need to be more careful...it's a mess here, there are not many owners who live here, they are all rented out to migrant workers, waiters, security guards and so on..."

He got out of the car, and helped Yan Yu move the wheelchair out of the trunk, "...Everyone has it. A few days ago, there was a newspaper about a night-running girl who robbed money..."

"Thank you." Enthusiastically accepted, brother, isn't your analogy a bit inappropriate?

The taxi gradually went away with its red tail lights, Yan Yu first looked at the surrounding environment, he was not familiar with any place, but the address should be correct, Yu Qi got the first-hand information from Su Yile.

After finding the group of brick-concrete buildings painted watermelon red because it affected the city appearance, and guessing the house numbers mottled into QR codes, Yan Yu finally arrived at the downstairs where Yi's house was located half an hour later.

There was a half-light in the room, so someone should be there, but he was not sure if Yi Chengfeng was there, after all, the appointment phone could never get through.

Yan Yu stood outside the door and dialed that number several times, but still no one answered.It's all here, what else can I do, I have to wait and see, thanks to the fact that the mosquitoes are not very vicious at this time in June.

This time, I waited from dusk to midnight, the plants were almost withered, and the rabbit didn't even see a shadow.

Yi Chengfeng stared at the incoming call on his mobile phone, distracted, why so excited?More persistent than harassing phone calls!

When Yan Yu called him like this, he always had some unlucky associations, thinking that he was in danger or in trouble...

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk. I'm full from dinner." Yi Chengfeng put a pack of cigarettes in his trouser pocket, and walked out with a lighter.

Su Yile was reading a cookbook, and raised her head when she heard the sound, "Brother, I'll go with you!"

"Stay honest, you!" Yi Chengfeng killed him with a single glance at the knife, and when he was upset, who the hell still had a talkative tail, to make himself unhappy, right?

In fact, he didn't know where to go for a stroll, he just navigated by feeling, but when he turned onto the road, he realized that there was really an extra tail behind him.

Yi Chengfeng lit a cigarette and continued walking, pretending not to see it.You bastard, what are you doing here in the middle of the night!Do you still want to follow him as a second-level country with just this leg?

Isn't the phone call very positive?Now I'm silent again... The ultra-light wheelchair doesn't tire your arms, does it?

If it is really possible not to talk to him, Yi Chengfeng really wants to pretend that he didn't see it and let it go, he is not from the same world, and it would be of no benefit to anyone if he is far away.

As soon as he was cruel, he raised his foot and turned to a small square next to him.

It’s not that there is any scenery over there, but there are so many steps to climb from this road to the square. Who makes the road in Meichuan uneven? There are not many, only three or four steps. It is enough to get rid of this little tail .

Yi Chengfeng stepped up the steps with his long legs, and his steps slowed down obviously... He probably didn't know that I knew that he was following me, right?Don't fucking shut up!

Isn't that a little too much?

He took out his mobile phone and called Su Yile, intending to ask his brother to come over and pick up this awkward thing and send him home.

"Come out now..."

With guilt in his heart, Yi Chengfeng turned his head and glanced subconsciously while talking.

Well, this is the scene of someone committing suicide!

The author has something to say:

In order to write about the rivalry between the two, I did my best!Here comes the big fat badge...have a great weekend!

Remember, don’t forget to leave a message to Ah Wen just because of the waves on the weekend~ I will hold grudges!
