love of life

That night, Jiang Yu cooked a table full of dishes, and when the meals were served, the sky gradually darkened.It coincided with the full moon, and the bright moonlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room. Jiang Yu turned off the chandelier in the living room, leaving only a faint lamp with a soft orange light.

"Why did you turn off the light?" Lin Zexi looked at the hazy living room and asked puzzled.

"Look how beautiful the moonlight is outside the window, the lights of the city forcibly spoil the moonlight." Jiang Yu stood in front of the window and looked up at the full moon and sighed.

Lin Zexi laughed unconsciously, "You actually pay attention to Fengyue, I really didn't see it."

"Feng, Yue, everything is ready tonight. There are also food and wine. How about it? Have a drink with me." Jiang Yu took out two cans of chilled beer from the refrigerator and put them on the dining table.

"I have a bad stomach, so I can't drink, especially if it's been iced. You can drink it yourself. I'll eat with you."

"Actually, I've wanted to complain to you for a long time. Your life is really ordinary, and there is no fun at all. Don't you feel bored?" Jiang Yu pulled the pull ring, looked up and drank a big cold beer, showing An expression of enjoyment.

"Life is not a joy, no matter how hard you are, it can't change the nature of its pain. It's better to accept it calmly."

"Hey, your thoughts are too dark. This is not a pleasure in bitterness. These winds and moons can always remind me that nature is much more open-minded than my little troubles. Hundreds of years ago when Li Bai was drinking alone, he invited the photo Is it the same bright moon? Dynasties change and the world changes, and thousands of sentient beings think that their melancholy is as deep as the sea. In its eyes, it is just the groaning of literati and inkmen. Every time you look up at the moon when you are heartbroken, you think that that moment It is the ultimate pain, and there is no deeper sorrow. By the time of the next review, time has smoothed out all the wrinkles and marks, and only the moonlight is as new as new sorrow. I feel that the ups and downs of the cycle of life are like this moon As long as there is no time, it will always appear on time. Even if it is occasionally covered by clouds, you know it is still there, just like the guiding light of life." After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu picked up the beer and poured it He took two big mouthfuls and barely moved his chopsticks.

"You are quite literary. Don't just drink too much, eat more food. After we finish eating, let's sit on the balcony and watch the moon." Lin Zexi picked up some chopsticks and picked some food into its bowl, urging.

Jiang Yu didn't move his chopsticks. He reopened a can of beer and walked straight to the balcony with it.Lin Zexi also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and followed. "Do you know why I like to look at the moon? Because the moon is a unique object in this world that can be easily connected with everyone. When you look up at the moon, you know that the person you miss is looking at you no matter where you are. Looking at the same bright moon. Across time and space, the moon connects you together. Isn’t this a wonderful feeling? Even if you are alone, thinking that others are looking at the same bright moon at the same time, this weak connection makes life Become less of a jerk."

"I'm looking at the moon right now. If the other party is in the United States or Canada, it will be daytime. It's impossible for us to see the moon at the same time. Does it make me feel very sad when I think about it?" Lin Zexi couldn't help complaining.

Jiang Yu stared at him for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, "Lin Zexi, you're really good. Maybe the ancients believed that the sky was round and the place was round, and that every corner of the world was bright and dark at the same time, and they didn't think about the United States and Canada at all. You are not romantic at all. But I know that the moon I will see in Shanghai will be the same as what you see here. Just thinking about it like this makes me feel quite comforted."

"You are enough. Now that you have both a mobile phone and WeChat, you don't need to stage such ancient plots as moonlight expressing love and swan geese passing on books."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Vulgar."

The two stood quietly, staring at the moon with their own thoughts for a long time.Jiang Yu said, "Honestly, I suggest that you think about going to Shanghai carefully."

Lin Zexi immediately shook his head, speechless.

"Well, since this is your choice. You have to take good care of yourself when you live alone. You have a bad stomach in the first place, so you have to eat well." Jiang Yu couldn't help but yawned as soon as he finished speaking.

"Go to rest after dinner. You didn't rest last night, and you have been busy all day today."

"Well, I have a plane at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and I have to get up at seven o'clock. Oh, yes, I'll give you a present." As he spoke, he got up and took out a pure white box from the environmental protection bag at the entrance, Put it in front of Lin Zexi.He took a closer look and saw that it was an iPhone. "For you, the phone number is registered with my ID card. I have already stored my number in it, and you will remember to bind WeChat later."

"Thank you. Go and rest, it's almost ten o'clock." He was not in a hurry to turn on his phone, but started to pack the food.The two of them ate less than one-third of it. It seemed that he would not have to cook for the next two days.

Jiang Yu turned his head and glanced at the pillows and quilt on the sofa and said, "I'll just sleep on the sofa."

He put down the work in his hands and said seriously: "Don't argue with me, can you? Can't you let me get along with you more easily? I feel a lot of pressure to passively accept other people's kindness. You consider How do you feel about me?"

Jiang Yu was surprised by his attitude.I have always thought that he is a gentle person who has almost no edges and corners, but he has been rejected several times in the past few days.Looks like it's time for him to re-examine him. "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. May I go back to my room and sleep?" Jiang Yu said with a flattering smile, and walked towards the room while talking.He opened the door of the room, but stopped and turned to him and said, "I don't want to put any pressure on you, I just want to be nice to you. I want you to know that when you feel tired, you can try to rely on others and accept others' love. Hello."

Jiang Yu's words hit his heart, and for a moment, he felt that these were the warmest words he had ever heard in his life.He quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen, only to feel his nose sour, and a hot stream gushed out of his eyes.He reached out and turned on the faucet, and started to work.

After Jiang Yu left, the ordinary life continued. Since changing the new number, Lin Zexi felt that his life was much cleaner.Only Jiang Yu and the shop assistants knew this number, so he no longer had to worry about Gu Ming calling.He felt much lighter.

It was a dream, he knew very clearly in his heart that such a scene could only be a dream, but he was deeply trapped in it and could not wake up.The bloody sunset, the green streets, the towering walls, the bustling crowd, a figure that is both familiar and unfamiliar.What is familiar is the feeling in memory, what is strange is the distance that cannot be touched.Who is this tall and straight figure?Always stand two steps away in front of him with your back to him.He took a step forward, and the man also took a step forward; he ran eagerly towards the other party, and the other party could always take a step faster than him, keeping a distance not too close or far from him.He was a little annoyed, turned around and ran in the opposite direction, but the man chased him, and stopped at a place two steps away forever, unable to see his face clearly. "Hey, who are you? Why don't you let me see your face, but keep following me?" He opened his mouth and shouted, but found that there was no sound in his throat, he was like an actor in a pantomime, his voice was exhausted roared, but the surroundings were as silent as water.He felt trapped in the same dream every night, a nightmare he couldn't get out of.

He woke up in a daze, the pajamas on his body were completely soaked, his mind was groggy, and his body didn't get the rest he deserved.He suddenly felt dry mouth, got up and poured a large glass of warm water.Suddenly, his eyes flashed white like lightning, and he hurriedly supported the dining table next to him for a few seconds, trying not to faint.This is not the first time his body has given him such an early warning. He went to the hospital for an examination two days ago. The doctor said that he had gastrointestinal dysfunction and lack of sleep, so he needed to pay more attention to rest.He wanted to be hospitalized for observation for two days, but he refused.

This afternoon, after lunch time, Lin Zexi finally sat down at the cash register.Dajiang also put down his work and sat on a stool to rest.

"Boss, have you lost weight again? Even I, who sees you every day, find that you have lost weight."

He looked down at himself, "Really? Speaking of which, I seem to feel that the clothes on my body are much looser than before."

"It's indeed much thinner. Two days ago, I sent a special message to the big boss to report this situation. Said that you don't have a good rest and don't eat well."

"Hey, why did you betray me like this? Is he the boss or am I the boss?"

"I don't care which of you is the boss. I just think you don't care about your body so much, I have to tell him and let him take care of you. Otherwise, your body will not be able to bear it. If the store is closed because of you, I will Who can I ask to pay my wages?" Da Jiang complained indifferently.

"If you don't want this store to go bankrupt, you should work hard. As the chef, you are the pillar of this store, okay?" Lin Zexi said while checking the orders he ordered this morning.

At this time, five or six people cheered outside the door, leaving two people to stand at the door to take pictures and record, while the other three middle-aged men walked in, looked at the store carefully, and even looked at the wall hanging on the wall. business license.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Lin Zexi hurriedly got up to receive him, and at the same time ordered the waiter to pour water.

"Are you the owner of this store? Lin Zexi, right? You also own the second and third floors?" The leader was wearing a dark gray jacket, his temple hair had begun to turn gray, and he looked no older than 50 years old.He looked at the roster handed over by the staff next to him and said.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Lin Zexi asked politely.

"We are from the office, surnamed Yang. We are here today to find out the bottom of this market." The man finished the tea, nodded his thanks and introduced himself.

"Director Yang, hello, may I ask if there has been an inspection in the past few days? We usually pay attention to the sanitation in front of the door, and the store also eliminates rats and flies regularly, and the hygiene level has always been up to standard." Lin Zexi introduced the restaurant while inquiring about his intentions. Condition.

"Well, I know. Your restaurant is quite famous. Sometimes we work overtime on weekends and order your food. This time we didn't come down to inspect, but to do a demolition investigation. Check whether the actual area and purpose of the house are consistent with the registration file All the time. There are three floors here, the ground floor is 42 square meters for business use, and the second and third floors have a total of 84 square meters for residential use, right?"

"Well, that's right. I just went through the transfer procedures, and it's almost the same amount. Is this place going to be demolished? When will it be demolished? Has the notice been issued?"

"Today, let's find out first. After the commercial development project and the city have finalized the agreement, we will start the demolition work. If it is fast, it will only take two months, and we will send a notice in advance."

"So fast? Will this piece be demolished?" Lin Zexi asked with a frown, his heart sank.

"Well, the environment of the nearby market is too bad. The higher-ups have long wanted to rectify it, but have not found an investor. This time, a large company from other places just took a fancy to this place and wanted to invest in a new commercial project."

"Is this project already decided?"

"The project has been decided a long time ago. It is so close to the railway station. It is most suitable to build a commercial area in front of the station. The relevant departments have been looking for suitable companies for the past two years."

"Then how will the demolition compensation be determined?"

"Currency compensation, detailed documents will be issued in the next step. According to the area and nature of the house, the compensation will be made with reference to the market price."

"Can I only choose monetary compensation? What about replacement?"

"Replacement is more troublesome, and it is generally not considered. Moreover, the construction period is so long, it may be three to five years, and it is easy to lose money. You can find a place to open a shop again with the money. For you businessmen, closing the door for one day will result in a loss. One day's profit. If you plan to move, you can start looking for a place, and it will be settled after two weeks of notice." After speaking, a group of people walked towards the opposite hotel in a mighty manner.

"Boss, it's demolition, so what should we do in the future?" Lin Zexi said with a sullen face, and simply told Da Jiang to look after the store, and went upstairs to his room by himself.
