let me look at you

Chapter 66
Countless times, with his back to those bullying people, Ju Nian said to himself, what can I do?All I can do is be different from them.However, how many hurdles are almost impossible to pass, she asked again and again, why should I be different from them, why?
In the fabric shop, Ju Nian's handwork is one by one, and she feels spirituality in every piece of fabric she handles. The modesty of plain satin, the gentleness of plaid, and the delicateness of floral patterns all have their own style.Probably everything in the world is like this, things with the heart are always done better than others.The old customers in the store know it, and they often specially appoint her to make it by themselves, and when they are really too busy, they can only say sorry to the customers.But on this day, Ju Nian encountered a return of goods.

"Sister Ju Nian, I'll deliver it according to the address, but the owner of that house won't accept it." The boy who delivered the goods put the things on the cash register and said while wiping off his sweat.

Ju Nian quickly unpacked and checked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with it?"

In the past, this kind of self-doubt would never have appeared. She has always been meticulous in her work.However, during these days, Han Shu's care for Feiming not only did not decrease, but increased day by day. Feiming also seemed to be becoming more and more dependent on him, and every uncle Han Shu seemed to regard him as a relative in his heart. family members together.Ju Nian knew that Feiming would not listen to Han Shu's order to alienate him at this time, but to roughly stop the child from interacting with him would be tantamount to cutting off Feiming's greatest happiness and psychological sustenance. She couldn't do it again.The only way to do that is to cool off and put yourself out of their relationship.

After the embarrassment outside the iron gate that night, Han Shu never met Ju Nian directly. He knew that when Ju Nian was at home, he always parked his car a hundred meters away.Where he went and what he did are usually passed on to Ju Nian through the mouth of the child.Ju Nian turned a deaf ear to it, but on weekday nights when she was not living in school, when she went out to water the yard, occasionally she could still see the familiar Subaru quietly parked in front of Cai Shu’s canteen, like a night sky in the scenery.

In those nights, the orange years that had been in the center of many years of quiet life began to be tormented by dreams.She wasn't thinking about Han Shu, but the existence of Han Shu forced her to remember the past that had been ironed out by a long time.Before Han Shu appeared, those used to sleep peacefully, like folded sheets at the bottom of a box, now he lifts it up, it is still so new, although it has a musty smell and creases, but the mottled spots on it are vivid in my memory .Ju Nian could hardly suppress those memories, the dazzling sunlight at the end of the steps, the moon as white as frost on the first night on the high wall, whenever she remembered these, she couldn't stop shivering in her dreams.The memory woke up, but the person's eyes never opened again.

Therefore, these days, Ju Nian is always in a daze. She is afraid that she will accidentally make a mistake in the size and be returned by the customer.But she shook out a whole set of sofa sets and examined them carefully, and found no obvious problems.

The delivery boy gave a wry smile, "Don't be so busy checking it. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the item at all. The man didn't even take it apart for a closer look, and directly said that the item was not his. But I checked the address again and again, and there was nothing wrong with it." Wrong, besides, the contact number left above is also correct, but he refused to admit it after being beaten to death, what can I do? I also told that person that a deposit is paid for this thing, not to mention that the deposit cannot be refunded, then You have to pay us the final payment, too."

The younger brother was right, Ju Nian nodded, "Then how did the customer answer you?"

"Answer? It's good for him to close the door in front of me. If I didn't shrink back in time, this nose would have been smashed." The younger brother said bitterly.

Ju Nian went back to check the order, and the address and phone number were very detailed, which was consistent with the delivery note in the younger brother's hand.She vaguely remembered that it was ordered by a young woman who looked like an intellectual, and the 50.00% deposit was paid very readily. Why did such a strange thing happen when the delivery date came?

She was stroking the smoky gray pearl satin fabric, feeling troubled for a while.She took the order, and she picked out the materials and styles for the customers. One sofa cover, six pillow covers, and two bay window cushions. It took her a lot of effort to make the pleats on the right edge to her satisfaction, and it is indeed quite elegant and attractive.More importantly, even though a deposit has been collected for this order, the rest of the balance cannot be collected. The items are left in the store, and the size requested by other customers is not suitable, so it is difficult to resell them.

There was really no other way, Ju Nian put down his work, asked the delivery boy for the address, "I'll try again." She thought, even if the result was the same as last time, she handled this matter, at least It's time to figure out what's wrong. Maybe there's something wrong with my younger brother's statement, and she might be able to explain it to the customer.

Riding the electric bicycle in the store, Ju Nian rushed to the residential area shown on the delivery note, which is a well-known southern garden building in this city.Ju Nian carefully checked the floor number of the unit, and after finding it, he rang the doorbell for a while.

It was a man who opened the door.The delivery guy also mentioned it before, including the phone number on the list, which belonged to a man, not the woman he saw when he took the order in Ju Nian.

It is not surprising that the wife chooses the style and leaves her husband's contact information.But when Ju Nian raised his face from the load, both inside and outside the door were shocked.

The man's face can be described as extremely ugly, astonishment, panic, and anger surged up all at once, and they all stared in his eyes.If there is a mirror at this time, Ju Nian must also see a guilty conscience from his own face.It is said that the road to the enemy is narrow, and there is no place in life where you don't meet each other. Fortunately, she closed her eyes and ran into the deepest dead end.

"You are really more scheming than I imagined, and you can come here. Finally figured it out? What do you want? What can stop your greedy mouth?" Tang Ye, who was good at saving people in the evening, was bitten back.He held onto the door frame with one hand, and his voice changed slightly in anger.

Ju Nian only hated that the goods in his hands could not completely bury himself under them.She thought of the plot in the novel, and she must say at this moment——no, no, listen to me explain... She has long understood that most of the things that can be explained are well known by everyone, so there is no need to say more; When you really can't explain it, it's useless to say anything, and there's no way to explain it.At this time, if she said: "I'm here to deliver sofa and pillowcases", it would be the same as when an adulterer cheated on the woman's bed and was caught by the real husband and said: "I came to test the softness of your big bed." degree".

However, she did come to deliver the sofa cover. Although she also felt that it was absurd, she was stunned for a while, and mechanically raised the sofa cover in her hand slightly.

Tang Ye obviously recognized the outer packaging of the object she was holding in her hand, and sneered, the subtext was clear at a glance, it was obviously a painstaking blackmail, so why bother to make such clumsy tricks to disgust people.

"I'm sorry, sir. But it's really something you ordered from us, maybe a friend of yours..."

Ju Nian tried hard to finish his sentence, but Tang Ye's only response was to point in the direction of the elevator and squeeze out a word, "Get lost!"

Ju Nian's skin is extremely thin, and the huge sense of humiliation is like a shock wave overturning the raft she was trying to save herself.But who can she blame? Didn't she bring this humiliation on her own?The current situation is not even due to a misunderstanding. She still remembers how despicable and gloomy she was in front of him that day, and now she still comes to her door. Not wronged.

The things in hand are neither handed over nor kept.If he left, what should he do next.Ju Nian bit his lower lip slightly, and took a step back.

Tang Ye's anger finally erupted at this moment, his gentle face was almost purple, and his outstretched fingertips trembled slightly. "Go away, go away! You go and say it, go ahead and say it, go tell the whole world, I'm such a fucking person, what can you do with me, how?!"

He was hysterically indignant, as if standing in front of him was not a woman who was extorting money for revenge, but all the injustices and obstacles in his real life.

The door was closed again in front of Ju Nian, and the loud noise made the eardrums buzz.The neighbor was so frightened that he opened the door and peeped carefully.Ju Nian hurriedly lowered his head, feeling troubled, took a deep breath, and reached out to press the elevator.

The fallen elevator slowly picked up, the red numbers were beating, and the stainless steel elevator door reflected a vague and hideous figure on it. It was a sad person who had lost his bottom line.Countless times, with his back to those bullying people, Ju Nian said to himself, what can I do?All I can do is be different from them.However, how many hurdles are almost impossible to pass, she asked again and again, why should I be different from them, why?
Now, she finally did the same.

The elevator door slammed and opened. Ju Nian moved forward, but the door behind him was also opened at the same time.

Tang Ye's hand clasped Ju Nian's wrist, and the previous strength and fierceness were replaced by a slumped compromise.

"Just make a price and tell me what you want? Give it a good time, please."

It turns out that he is not as fearless as he was in the catharsis just now, he still cares about other people's eyes.No one who cares is not cowardly.

Ju Nian held the heavy sofa cover in his arms, and heard the elevator doors closing slowly.

She said, "Can I put the slipcover on first?"

After a long time, Tang Ye turned sideways, and Ju Nian walked nervously from beside him into the strange room.The custom-made sofa cover cannot be put on even if it is less than one centimeter. All delivery people must cover the customer before leaving. This is the purpose of her visit today, and it is also her duty.

Tang Ye sat expressionlessly on a backlit rattan chair, watching Ju Nian skillfully disassemble the original covers of the fabric sofa and pillows, and replace them with new ones.This is not an easy project, especially if it is done by one person alone.She was so busy that she was sweating. Several times, Tang Ye thought she couldn't handle it anymore. She struggled for a while, and those messy things became strangely appropriate again.This woman may be sinister, but she feels harmless, even slender.Do women wear their own painted skins?
Ju Nian put all his attention on the job at hand as much as possible, and there was finally a sliver of consolation that all the kits were done to perfection.

"Which one is your part-time job?" When the work in the living room was about to be completed, Tang Ye asked coldly. The extreme anger was over, and he seemed quite quiet.

Ju Nian slowed down his movements, chewing out the meaning behind his words.

A whore who makes fabric sofa covers.

Maybe this is also a kind of cognitive progress, at least he agreed that the sofa cover was indeed custom-made for his special-sized sofa.

Still avoiding eye contact with Tang Ye, she said slowly, "The service related to you today is just a sofa cover."

"I didn't order the sofa cover." His tacit consent was just to know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"But it is indeed made for your sofa." Ju Nian gently patted the creases on the last sofa pillow, "It matches the floor of your house and the color of that wicker chair... well, may I ask?" Where is the bay window?"

Tang Ye's face was in the dark, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Maybe he was examining, maybe he was still doubting.Still, he raised a hand and pointed to one of the rooms.

This man is gloomy and unhappy in front of Ju Nian, but his residence is quite comfortable, with a light gray background, a lot of rattan products and green plants, and there is always a chair in the most suitable place for sitting.

Ju Nian went to lay the cushions on the bay window. The bay window sill, which was originally paved with jade-colored marble, looked very clean. Except for a chessboard, it was a log six-inch photo frame. The man on the photo seems to be the owner of the house, but he is slightly different from the real one in the photo.How should I put it, maybe it's the emotion in the camera, although he doesn't smile on his face, holding a fishing rod, with a half-old novel on his chest, his black hair is slightly messed up, and a fisherman's hat half covers him with the whirling tree Shadow's face.The feeling of that photo is light and joyful, which is probably what the person who took the photo was trying to capture.

Ju Nian carefully moved the chessboard and photos to other places, but inadvertently saw a line of small words written on the wood on the back of the photo frame. She didn't want to peep into the privacy of others, so she quickly looked away, but she still saw clearly the words on it. Sentence - "Wangheting Great Heat Facing Wind Mian".
