Roaming in the dark

Chapter 97
"Your words are right." The boss brought their scallion fried buns and potstickers over, put them on the table, and said to Yu Dong.

Yu Dong asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's what you said before, no matter how angry a woman is, as long as you give her money, she will be happy." The boss said.

Yu Dong and Sheng Chuncheng laughed, and Yu Dong shouted: "That's right, boss, it seems that you have a deep understanding. Have you seen it, buddy, I have met a bosom friend. Who said that bosom friends are hard to find in high mountains and flowing waters, but bosom friends are everywhere in the world." .”

"He has some money for me, and I am the one who collects money here every day." The proprietress came over with two bowls of beef vermicelli, and said to them: "The few money he went out to play mahjong is still behind my back. It was stolen from the box, so I thought I didn’t know.”

The boss laughed, and Yu Dong and Sheng Chuncheng laughed. The iron box that the lady boss mentioned was a tin box they put on the chopping board, and the money they received from doing business every day was in it.

Sheng Chuncheng asked Yu Dong: "Do you often attract guests to the live broadcast base?"

If he goes there often, Sheng Chun thought to himself, he should be careful.

"No, I'm usually in the west of the city, and today is the first time I've been there." Yu Dong said, Sheng Chuncheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Let me tell you, the girl I dragged today must have come to repay her big brother. I saw that man when he was sending her to the car. He was older than her father. What about the two of them?" Intimate, without seeing."

As Yu Dong said, Sheng Chuncheng looked at him and laughed. Looking at his appearance and listening to his tone, he looked like the chief of an orchestra, a violinist. His wife was right, she was just a gossiper , nagging taxi driver.

"What are you laughing at?" Yu Dong asked Sheng Chuncheng with a fried bun with green onions in his chopsticks.

Sheng Chuncheng said: "It seems that driving a taxi really exercises people."

Yu Dong knew what Sheng Chuncheng meant. He stuffed the bun into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then said to Sheng Chuncheng:

"That's right, you're right. When you do this, you can meet different people every day, especially at night, in the middle of the night. It can be said that there are surprises every day. The whole city is condensed into my car. Now, you said, what is the most important thing in this city? Of course it is not the buildings, but the people. You can see all kinds of people in my passenger seat and the back row of the car.

"This job is actually quite interesting. It's not like I used to be in the troupe. When I wake up every day, rehearse at what time, eat lunch at what time, take a nap at noon, how long does the nap last, and rehearse again when I wake up in the afternoon. What time is it, what time is dinner, what time is the rehearsal in the evening, every day is exactly the same, and it goes back and forth. You have lived for many days, and it seems that only one day has passed.

"After you live today, you know how you will live tomorrow. You know that tomorrow will be better than today, and you won't be able to find more new tricks. Also, how many performances will be performed in the next few days, where will the performance be performed, and what should I wear? , What to bring, all of these are as clear as a program list, and they all have a fixed timetable and schedule.

"Now, when I wake up every morning, what I face is a new day, an unknown day. When I go out, I don't know what the situation will be or who I will meet. For example, if I come out this morning, I will be beaten to death. I never thought that at noon, I would be sitting here with you two, haha, every day is an accident."

Sheng Chuncheng looked at the eloquent Yu Dong, nodded, and said to him:

"Brother Yu, I really admire you. You have a really good attitude. It stands to reason that your role has changed a bit from playing the violin to driving an online car-hailing car. Many people will definitely complain when they encounter this situation. , you don’t seem to have it, and you’re still enjoying it.”

"What can complaining change? Nothing can be changed. This epidemic, you want it to pass, and it will pass? Impossible, you can't change it, and you still want to fight it. Isn't that making yourself uncomfortable?"

Yu Dong raised the Coke bottle, and Sheng Chuncheng also raised it. The two of them touched the bottle and took a sip.

Yu Dong continued: "When I was young, my mother often beat me. I knew I couldn't escape her beatings. Do you know what I should do?"

Sheng Chuncheng became curious and asked, "What should I do?"

"It's very simple, practice the piano well, so that you can reduce the number of times you get beaten. Since I can't change her to beat me, I can only let myself practice the piano well. I didn't expect it to work out."

Yu Dong laughed while talking, Sheng Chuncheng also laughed, if you can't change it, go with it, this is really the simplest truth, but many people still don't know it.

After lunch, Yu Dong was not polite. He sat there and watched Sheng Chuncheng pay the bill. The two stood up and went out. They walked to Yu Dong's car. Sheng Chuncheng and Yu Dong said, when night, if you don't have any business , is near here again, you can call me, I'll buy you a drink.

After I finished talking, I thought about it, and said, no, no, then you will drive back after drinking, or you call me, I will drink near your house, I will take a taxi, and I will treat you.

"Why did you invite me?" Yu Dong asked puzzled.

"I'm not under the pressure to pay off the mortgage." Sheng Chuncheng said, and Yu Dong laughed out loud, remembering the conversation they had in the car when they first met.

Yu Dong said yes, I want to drink this wine. By the way, when we start performing again, I invite you to come to our group's concert.

"Okay, I'll go and see that idiot in a tuxedo." Sheng Chuncheng said, and the two of them laughed again.

"It really looks like a fool, the more I think about it, the more I resemble it." Yu Dong smiled and got into the car, waved with Sheng Chuncheng, and left.

Sheng Chuncheng watched Yu Dong's car drive away, turned the corner and disappeared completely. He then crossed the road, walked to the gate of the community, and walked inside. There was no wind, and the flowers, plants and small trees in the flower bed at the gate remained motionless in the sun, as if they were all made of iron and reflected light.

Entering the gate, fortunately, there are tall plane trees on both sides of the road in the community, covering the whole road in its shade and the chirping of cicadas.

Although he was walking in the shade of the trees and for a while, Sheng Chuncheng still began to sweat on his forehead, but he felt a kind of satisfaction in his heart. In this city, as a normal person, Sheng Chuncheng felt that he finally had He found a friend, someone he could eat and drink with, someone he could socialize with without wearing sunglasses and pretending to be blind.

Sheng Chuncheng thought about it carefully, it seemed that Yu Dongyu was really the first and only one.
