the last witcher

"These cigarettes were given by the debt collectors. These days, it is the father who owes money, and the one who borrows money is the grandson." He gave Chengcai a cigarette, and said half-jokingly, I will peel off the plastic tube on the outside of the cigarette first, " These cigarettes are purely for pretenders, each cigarette will give you a condom, if you don’t know, you may think that we will get pregnant after smoking.” I took the cigarette in hand and told a dirty joke, of course, This is also the crystallization of my boss and I often going out to participate in various entertainments.Cheng Cai played with the cigarette in his hand, although he also took off the outer condom, he still refused to light it.Because he knew too well that the results of his one night's work were worth four of these cigarettes.College students who have just graduated from the imperial capital, without the financial support of successors, are lucky to be able to reach the stage of becoming a talent.Most of them chose to bow their heads to fate, but the man in front of me still straightened his spine, raised his proud head, and walked forward step by step with difficulty, because he knew how to sail against the current.I touched my pocket, there were still two unopened packs in it, I took Chengcai's hand and patted it in his hand, "Go home for the New Year and give the old man a taste." Compared with the big boy in front of me, I can count He is a prodigal, "No, no, no, this cigarette is too expensive, please keep it, Brother Jia." Chengcai hurriedly pushed back, "Just take it if you tell me, why are there so many nonsense!" Stay with the boss After a long time, the aura around him naturally became stronger, "Thank you, Brother Jia!" After finishing speaking, Cheng put the cigarettes into the pocket of his jeans, and just as he sat down, he stood up again and put the two packs of cigarettes away. In the breast pocket of the white undershirt, I lit our cigarettes, and then continued to listen to Chengcai's narration.

"In order not to let the people in the imperial capital discriminate against us, we both practiced Mandarin hard for four years in college. I'm better. After all, the imperial capital is also considered the north, but it's difficult for my girlfriend. People just talk and talk. She is fluent in Mandarin, and she practiced with a pebble in her mouth. At the beginning, her mouth was swollen like a sausage, and I didn’t dare to kiss her for a month.” Cigarettes are a tool to communicate a man’s feelings At this moment, I have a deep understanding. Chengcai blew out a smoke ring and continued, "Your younger brother and sister are called Zhang Xiaoting. She is the most precious treasure in my life. If I lose her, I will never live alone in this world." "What are you talking about, hurry up and pee, pee, pee, what is life and death? When you two practiced Mandarin." Maybe it's the same disease, I really dislike Chengcai who said that he was going to die or live, and Chengcai grinned at me Laughing, "To be honest, can you tell that I have a foreign accent now? If I didn't tell your siblings, who would have guessed that we are foreigners?" Chengcai showed me success again with a cigarette in his mouth. A smile, but this smile contains too much blood, tears and injustice.

"Even if we rented a small nest, we still get together less and stay far away now. The company stipulates that we clock in at 8 o'clock on time. We basically have to get up at 04:30 in the morning. We have to wash our faces and brush our teeth to make do with food, so we have to squeeze." The bus changes to the subway, and it takes several times to back up, I remember a joke about it, look at my memory." "I know this joke, and I told my boss a few days ago, because we go to work every day To cross the West Chang'an Avenue connecting the city center to Babaoshan, traffic control will be required three to five days after the death of a big person, and the traffic jam is very sensitive to the obituary. Generally, close friends of our party will be stuck in the traffic jam for half an hour, a tried and tested loyal* *Soldiers are blocked for an hour, outstanding proletarian revolutionaries and politicians are blocked for two hours, and outstanding leaders are blocked for a morning. If the flag needs to be flown at half-mast, then you don’t have to go to work. Right!” I found that I was absolutely crooked. "That's right." Cheng Cai slapped his thigh, and the ash fell off his pants. When he was about to brush it off with his hands, I quickly got up and flicked the ash down, "You haven't smoked for a long time. If you brush it, Do you still wear these pants tomorrow?" I found that some of my life experiences were more than his. "Thank you. In fact, our requirements are not high. It is a house that really belongs to us. Every time we meet the landlord, the aunt will envy and say: 'I really envy you happy couples.' In fact, we are very I envy the aunt who can have a house, even if it is a bungalow, according to the current development speed of Beijing, it will not be long before the place where we live now will become a commercial house, but there is no way now. At least 6 hours are wasted on the road every day , and there is no direct bus or subway, so we can only fall back and forth, starting at 04:30 in the morning, and returning to our little nest at 700:300 in the evening, neither of us sleeps more than six hours a day, this city It is bit by bit eroding our patience, our vows, our promises, our youth, everything about us." After finishing speaking, Cheng Cai lowered his high head, held his head in his hands, and fell into the extremely painful memory .I handed over another cigarette, "It's all the same. A city that can only accommodate a population of [-] million has a population of more than [-] million. It's easy to live and work. It's really not easy to live in the imperial capital." I also I am deeply moved.

"It has been more than three years since I graduated. I pay 3 yuan a month, and she earns less than 0 yuan a month. The total is only 3000 yuan. Even if I wear the cheapest clothes, every meal does not have any meat, except for communication and transportation. , unknown red bombs, minor illnesses and minor disasters, etc., you can only save up to 6 yuan a month, and the money you save in a year is not enough to buy a half-square-meter house within the Fifth Ring Road, and now the house is getting bigger and bigger , the higher the cover, the higher the fee. Year after year, both of us have reached the age where we are afraid of marriage. We don’t even dare to think about children. We still need the national family planning. We both have what others have. Even a little more strength and perseverance, but I just can’t find where the marriage is. I love her so much that I am willing to give my all, even my life; There is no container that can hold our love, but why can't we see where our home is?" Cheng Cai growled and shouted the last few words, his teeth biting the cigarette full of marks.

"Xu Chengcai, remember, you are a man, you are a man, no matter how hard or tired you are, you have to grit your teeth to stand up for me, and you have to use your spine to hold back when the sky falls. Jing, if you think you can win my sympathy by complaining to me, then you are wrong. I will only value you if you work harder and harder. There are so many people inside and outside the company, and they can’t sympathize with me. At least from now on, in this company, within my ability, you still have a chance, wash your face, and go to work." I got up and patted him, resolutely left the smoking room, and then returned to the boss's office In the middle of the night, set the alarm clock with the mobile phone, and then squat on the boss's bed until dawn.In the boss's bathroom, I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and cleaned up. When I came downstairs, I met Xu Chengcai who had just come out of the bathroom after rinsing. They nodded at each other, and then went about their business.This is my first meeting with Xu Chengcai.
