Chapter 54
After signing the contract and paying the rent for three months, the total was 9000 yuan.

The layout of the house is unique, and the two bedrooms are staggered, so no one can interfere with the other.

The man who has been scolded by the landlord's sister is called Zhang Wei. He is a northern man. He is 27 years old this year. He brought his girlfriend to Beijing Beipiao five years ago and has been living here, so he knows the landlord very well.

Later, I heard that life was getting harder and harder, and the money he earned was not as fast as the rent. My girlfriend stayed with him for three years, and finally couldn't stand this poor life. She broke up and went back to her hometown to find another man. She had a car and a house, and soon got married. up.

After Zhang Wei heard the news, he got very drunk that night, crying and laughing at the same time, saying that his daughter-in-law had finally made it through.

It was precisely because of this that the landlord's sister looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, thinking that he was so useless that he couldn't even keep his wife.

These stories were told to He Xiao by the landlord, and Zhang Wei was sitting next to him when he told them, without saying a word, keeping his head down and smoking a cigarette non-stop.

After packing up his luggage, He Xiao came out of the room, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Wei sitting on the balcony outside the living room, drinking a can of beer.

He Xiao looked at the time, this buddy has been sitting there for three hours, and has been staring at the traffic in the distance, from evening to dark.

Walking closer, Zhang Wei's decadent look became more obvious.

The height of 1.7 meters [-], not outstanding appearance, dress is also very honest.

This is the most real ordinary person, as ordinary as his name.

How do you say that?Standing on the street and calling Zhang Wei, you can get dozens of responses.

It's so mundane.

But He Xiao didn't mean to look down on him, they all came from the bottom. When He Xiao first came to Beijing, he was worse than him. He couldn't rent a house. Sometimes he had no money in his pocket, so he slept on a park bench.

Winter is more difficult. The weather in the north is very dry and cold, and the wind is also strong. It is too cold to walk on the road in the sun during the day, let alone at night.

At that time, if he was too poor to find a house to live in, He Xiao would find a bank to deal with. There was heating inside, which was very comfortable, and it was the best choice for homeless people.

So He Xiao is a small person from the beginning to the end, he feels that he is no different from Zhang Wei in front of him, everyone has everyone's suffering.

It's just that he's come to the end of all his hardships now, and he's a little bit of a fool.

Zhang Wei is miserable now, but maybe his opportunity has not yet come, and maybe in one year, he will be soaring.

When He Xiao came here to rent a house, he actually saw stories on everyone's faces.

The timid and cowardly Zhang Wei represents all living beings, and the grumpy landlord must have his own unspeakable secrets.

In fact, the landlord is not as cold as Xu Yuan said, although this person seems unreasonable, but He Xiao can see that the landlord has a good heart from the conversation in a few words in the afternoon.

She was able to take Zhang Wei to live here for five full years, and tried every means not to let him sleep on the street, and even found someone to share the rent with him when he had no money. This behavior showed that Zhang Xuran was not a villain in nature.

Except for a bit of bad breath.

Taking out two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator, He Xiao carried one in each hand, went to the balcony, and sat on the opposite side of Zhang Wei.

"Brother, we met for the first time, we will be roommates from now on, let's have a drink." He pulled out the can with a bang and put it on the table.

Zhang Wei turned his gaze, holding the bottle of beer in calloused hands, and said honestly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." He Xiao clinked a glass with him.

Zhang Wei didn't know what to say. He looked at the neon lights outside the window. After a while, he said with some self-mockery: "You must think I'm ridiculous, right?"

"No." He Xiao shook his head, "When a man is most helpless, he meets the person he wants to take care of for the rest of his life. Everyone has experienced that kind of pain, and there is nothing ridiculous about it."

"But they all say I'm a dog licker."

"That's because the world is too indifferent. They call the person who loves them a spare tire, and the person who is affectionate is called a licking dog. This is their fault and has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you." Zhang Wei seemed to have run out of words again.

After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "Actually, I also had a dream before. I wanted to be an actor, and I went to drift for a while, but people said that I have no characteristics, so I ran back, found a job, and drove a big car. "

"Later, there was a time when I was hauling goods. A whole truckload of more than [-] tons of apples was overturned on the side of the road. I also called for a car and drove a tractor to pick it up. I begged all over and no one answered me, so I almost knelt down to them."

"My girlfriend said that I can't do anything, eat whatever I want, and get nothing done, so I broke up and went back to my hometown."

Zhang Wei didn't know how long he held back these inner thoughts. After he finished speaking, he took a sip of beer and wiped the slippery corners of his mouth. He didn't know whether it was spilled wine or tears.

"Brother, what's the point of living for a person like me?"

"..."

He Xiao didn't answer. He looked at this man who he just met today but dared to show him his wounds, and his heart was very complicated.

Life is not easy.

It's so fucking hard!

He suddenly remembered a song.

Maybe next time he goes to Hangtown, he can sing this song out.

There was some silence in the room.

He Xiao saw that Zhang Wei was drinking wine, his eyes were red, and he was afraid that he really couldn't think about it, so he finally tried to persuade him: "Brother, the apples were scattered, and the villagers went to pick them up, because the villagers did not have enough knowledge and did not understand the law. , this is bad luck and has nothing to do with your ability."

"As for you going to Hengdian as a group performer, you were told that you have no special features... that's because he has no eyesight! Being uncharacteristic is obviously the biggest feature!"

"Is the lack of characteristics the biggest characteristic?" Zhang Wei didn't understand, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, acting is not limited to idols. Art comes from life. Only people like you who have experienced hardships and hardships can perform the most authentic emotions." He Xiao seriously filled this fragile man with chicken soup , "My friend, there is an old saying in our China, that is to die and then live."

"Put death to life..."

Zhang Wei muttered in a low voice, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

After a long time, he wiped away his tears and raised his glass.

"Brother, go one!"

"Go one!"

He Xiao clinked glasses with him.

A few hours later, Zhang Wei drank too much and passed out.

He Xiao carried him back to the bedroom and threw him on the bed.

This 27-year-old man was paralyzed there like that, his mouth was full of sleepy talk, and he didn't know what to ramble about.

He Xiao shook his head, turned off the light, closed the door gently, and backed out.

In the dark small room, Zhang Wei fell asleep, then sat up suddenly, pulled out his cell phone in a daze, edited a text message, and then lay down again.

……

A city in the north.

A girl's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a message from a mobile phone number without a note.

There are only two words on it-good night.
