Your loneliness is more moving than this world

Chapter 3 Sunset Tiantong Court (2)
The smashing event had a milestone impact on the house. People in each room began to talk formally, building trust, and then quickly became friends. "Third Sister" joined the dinner at Dongdong's house, the big man began to show his hospitality to Dongdong, and the girl who accompanied the singer was also doing homework with me in the kitchen.Of course, there are other reasons why the singing girl took the initiative to talk to us. Her boyish boyfriend has gone away.A generation of Tianjiao boy with a bad face, who didn't know where to gamble, lost a hundred thousand, and had nowhere to go, so he invited his father from Heilongjiang, and his father promised to pay his debts, but there were two conditions, one was to break up with the singing girl immediately, and the other was to return to his hometown, And in this life, he is not allowed to step into the capital again.

The girl who accompanied the singer refused to admit that Xiaobailian was her boyfriend, because she hadn't divorced yet, and even though she had cut off contact with her husband in her hometown for more than a year, the divorce procedure had been dragging on.A 25-year-old widowed girl works at the KTV in Tiantongyuan. She needs a man both physically and in life, so she simply finds a good-looking boy who dares to fight.What's interesting is that Xiaobailian also chatted with me. He denied that the singing girl was his girlfriend. He said that the salesperson in the supermarket at the gate of the community was his girlfriend. He spent 15 minutes bragging about how powerful and powerful his family is in Heilongjiang. Taking advantage of the money, he spent another 15 minutes criticizing the singing girl, saying that she was going out with an old man behind his back, and that she had a three-year-old daughter in her hometown.

The singing girl left the kitchen, Dongdong slipped in, picked up a fried dough stick, chewed and said, "Brother Chao, what were you talking about with that little bitch just now? I figured it out, you're like a married woman. "I said: "Shut up." She said: "Yo, Brother Chao is angry, haha, Brother Chao, you have to hold on, I will get married tomorrow, have a baby and get divorced, and then I will come to you, You took me far away." I said: "Get out." She rolled and shouted: "Mom, brother Chao bullied me, he said I have small breasts, mom, you have to make the decision for me."

Lu Xiaoyan picked up the hat on the shelf and said, "You too, I told you earlier, there are often rent-outs here, it would be great for you to move here, and it's close to the subway, look at the people you live in there." Who? You are considered a highly educated person, and now in order to save a few hundred dollars, you have to share the rent with a bunch of blind people." I said, "You can't say that, my neighbors are almost born, but they are all What’s wrong with a decent good guy who has a higher education? A higher education means he must be a good guy?” Lu Xiaoyan put down her hat: “I didn’t say they are bad guys, but this kind of people don’t live in peace. You and the agency company are just the beginning. I can’t tell what will happen in the end. There is a saying called ‘rich begets arrogance, poor begets change’, do you understand?” I said, “What about the rich and the poor? Don’t everyone live in Tiantongyuan? What’s the matter? Difference?" "What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoyan stared, "Are you mocking me?"

I picked up the hat in her hand and asked: "Why did you buy so many? Who is this hat for?" She said: "Give it to my mother, and I will send it back to her later." I said: "Will you give it to me?" She buys hats? Don’t you always hate her?” Lu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at me and said, “What’s wrong with hating? No matter how much you hate her, it’s still my mother.”

After more than half a year of tireless greetings, Lu Xiaoyan finally acquiesced in my pursuit. Every weekend, I would go to live with her for two days, and return to my residence after get off work on Monday.I couldn't hide the fact that I was in love with Lu Xiaoyan from my neighbors. They all had dinner with Lu Xiaoyan and knew all my thoughts.

"Will you marry her?" "Third Sister" took off the clothes rack and handed it to me.I said: "It's hard to say, I haven't asked her." "Third Sister" said: "We are all together, why don't you ask? Even if she can't give you an accurate answer, you should ask, she will be very happy , at least know that you are sincere to her." I smiled and said: "I don't have confidence, really, we don't get along well, she is very demanding in every way, and we often quarrel over small things. For example, when shopping, her wallet is several times bigger than mine, but she deliberately asks me to take out the money every time. Once I don’t bring the money or take out the money slowly, she will slap me in the face all night. I really like her , she may not be sure." "Third Sister" said: "You, you don't talk much about love, you don't understand women, women generally like to compare, if her girlfriend's boyfriends are all positive, she will naturally be dissatisfied with you , you should pay more attention to the people around her and learn more." I looked out the window and said nothing, "Third Sister" patted me on the shoulder and said, "Bring her home for dinner when I have time, let Dongdong Mom guides you both."

During the Lantern Festival, Dongdong's mother took Yangyang and me to work for a long time, and greeted Lu Xiaoyan with the same specifications as last time. The family dinner in the master bedroom was also more lively than usual because of the participation of the "third sister", the big man and others.Lu Xiaoyan arrived on time at 07:30, with the same posture as when she first visited. The whole process was cold and silent, except for the necessary greetings and answers, she hardly said anything.At the end of the dinner, Dongdong's mother took advantage of the alcohol to deliberately tout my advantages in various aspects. Dongdong also followed suit to help me speak, but her expressive ability was far inferior to that of her mother, and she opened her mouth to cause trouble: "My mother means that we You have to cherish someone like Brother Chao, a serious potential stock that has never been married."

Lu Xiaoyan raised her brows upside down, dropped her chopsticks with a bang, got up and went to the door, quickly put on her high-heeled shoes, and strode out.I was half a sip of the wine, unexpectedly, I stood up in embarrassment and followed.Dongdong said from behind: "Why is this person like this? What are you playing, this is not your house!" Dongdong's mother shouted: "Shut up!"

Downstairs, I pressed the car window and said out of breath, "She's a little girl, she speaks without thinking, she really has no other meaning, can you stop?" Lu Xiaoyan said, "Take your hands away!" I said: "Can you save me? I can compensate you whatever you want in the future." "Damn!" Lu Xiaoyan screamed, "Take your hands away!"

When I got home, I went to the kitchen to help everyone clean up. Dongdong's mother said, "Let them do it, Chao, don't worry about it. I gave Dongdong a lesson just now, so don't take it to heart." I Said: "It's okay, she just has that temper, she's used to it." Dongdong's mother looked at me quietly, still apologetic.

The singing girl knocked on the door, and I opened my eyes and got up and said, "Sit down." The singing girl sat on the edge of the bed by the door, and said stiffly, "I'm here to borrow the charger, are you okay?" I said, "It's okay. "She said: "Your girlfriend has a big temper." I said: "She is angry with her, and it won't hurt our spleen, stomach and kidneys." I handed her the charger and said, "Take it away and use it. You don’t need to pay it back, I’m on a business trip tomorrow, and it may take more than a month to come back.” She grabbed the charger, wanted to say something before swallowing it, got up and walked out slowly, and I fell back on the bed.

After the two-month business trip ended, I returned to Beijing and learned that something big happened at home: Dongdong and the big man got married.

It was the singing girl who told me the news. I handed her the cigarette I brought back from the south, and she lit one and said, "Does that stuff like girls or boys?" I said, "What do you mean?" She said : "Just a few days after you were on a business trip, she had sex with the big guy next door to me. You know, the partition is not very soundproof. I heard it with my own ears several times." I said, "No way, they know each other. It’s only been a few days.” She said, “Brother, young people nowadays are very aggressive.” I said, “Does her mother know about this?” She said, “How could she know, her mother went back to her hometown to visit relatives, and she was with you before and after. It’s time to come back. But this matter can’t be kept secret, think about it, everyone lives in the same room, and with that girl’s flamboyant spirit, her mother will know sooner or later, and Dongdong’s mother will be very upset if there is trouble at that time Tall, why did you fall in love with that big guy?" I sighed, and said, "Oh, this little aunt is really amazing." She smiled and said, "This little aunt has always said bad things about me in front of you, hasn't she?"

Dongdong's mother made a fuss, obviously all this was too sudden for her, her eyes were slightly red, her movements were stiff, she stopped when passing by my room door, poked out half of her head and said, "Dongdong, come inside for a while." Dongdong said without raising his eyes: "What's the matter? Playing cards." Dongdong's mother said: "Fuck you, hurry up, I have something to tell you." Dongdong sensed that his mother's tone was wrong, and his face darkened. Replied: "No time!"

Dongdong's mother knocked on the wall over and over again, the big man became more and more panicked, put down the cards in his hand and said: "Go, your mother is in a hurry." Dongdong said: "It's none of your business, play cards!" The man was indifferent, and Dongdong was angry: "You have no guts, the old woman scared you like this!" I pulled the singing girl and put down the cards together, and said to Dongdong: "Let's go over for a while, So what if you talk about it?" Dongdong threw down the cards in his hand and said, "I can't stand it!"

Dongdong's mother ran in, grabbed Dongdong's arm and pulled it out. Dongdong struggled and said, "Tell me here if you have something to do, what are you dragging!" The singing girl and I stood up to persuade, Dongdong's mother was red-eyed Said: "Chao, look at her, she wants to piss me off today." I pressed Dongdong and said, "Let go of your hand, let go!" Dongdong let go, and I turned to Dongdong's mother and said: "Calm down first, let's persuade her first." Dongdong's mother glanced at Dongdong, became angry again, and said loudly: "Don't worry about any of you today, I don't believe you can't deal with this little girl's film!"

The door of the master bedroom was closed, and Dongdong yelled inside: "I have never meddled in your affairs, and you are not allowed to meddle in mine!" Dongdong's mother said: "What is your business? You have done something shameful It's reasonable!" Dongdong shouted: "I didn't do anything shameful!" Dongdong's mother said: "I didn't do anything, why are you so anxious? I call you, what are you afraid of? You think I'm willing to take care of your shitty things, It's not for your own good!" Dongdong shouted: "I, use, no, use!"

"Third sister" came out, looked at everyone in the corridor and said: "I heard everything in the room just now, why don't we go in and persuade?" The girl who accompanied the singer said: "The door is locked." "Third sister " Said: "What should I do then?" I said: "There is no way, wait for the two of them to finish their quarrel." We looked at the big man together, and the big man stood there motionless like a stone stake.Frankly speaking, I don't like him either, he is not bad, but with his income and experience, it is impossible to control a girl like Dongdong, let alone Dongdong's mother.

Dongdong's mother failed to communicate with her daughter, so she had to find me again, and asked me to come forward as a half-brother to persuade the couple to break up. I said to her: "I have no right to persuade others to break up, and you have no right either. They are all adults and have the right to choose their own lives. But don’t worry about it, these two people have conflicting personalities, and it’s as short as two months or more than half a year, it’s not going to be long at all, just wait.” Dongdong’s mother said: "Okay, Chao, I don't believe others, so I believe you once. I'll listen to you. I'll talk to her and see how she will explain to me later."

After 20 days, Dongdong dumped the big man, which was faster than spreading pancakes.

She was so angry that she ran into my room to complain, saying that the big man is superficial, selfish and vain, speaks loudly, and is full of machismo.The big man also ran into my room to complain, saying that Dongdong was picky about his life and difficult to serve, and he got angry at him because of a friend who was neither male nor female.I replied to both of them in unison: "Forget it."

Dongdong and the big man returned to the original neighborhood relationship, but this place is less than [-] square meters, and the haze rises and it is difficult to dissipate. In fact, the consequences of this relationship between cheating and love are far more than The two young people broke up so easily, it completely tore apart the ten-year rift between Dongdong's mother and son.

At the family dinner on weekends, everyone still helps Dongdong's mother with busy work, washing dishes and cutting vegetables, serving plates and chopsticks, everything is ready, hula la and cross-legged to drink.When the wine was full, Dongdong's mother was the last one to make a circle. She held the wine glass and said to "Third Sister": "You are kind and clever, but let me tell you, baby, don't think of men so simply, you have to talk about it." Boy, a woman can never beat a man, remember, in the end, it is the money in your hand that really hurts you." "Third Sister" raised her glass and drank, without saying a word.Then came the drinking girl, Dongdong's mother said: "What do you think of us?" The singing girl choked back the glass after drinking half of the wine, blushing and said: "Oh, auntie, you are drunk." Dongdong's mother Said: "Where am I drunk? It's not like you don't know how much I can drink. You children, don't do this with your aunt, I can see your nonsense at a glance." The singing girl winked at me, and I Tell her not to be too nervous.

Dongdong's mother turned her head and said, "Come on, big man, have a drink with auntie." The big man hurriedly stood up with the cup in both hands, and everyone present became nervous, Dongdong's face was particularly ugly.Dongdong's mother waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be so formal. Sit down and listen to auntie. Big man, Dongdong is right. I don't care about your affairs, but auntie thinks it's good for you if you fail. This girl , I can't beat her, can you be better than your aunt? You will learn more from your brother Chao in the future, work hard at work, and in the future, your career will grow bigger and richer, and you can find 1 rivals Liu Yidong is beautiful." Dongdong patted the table and said, "Mom, it's all right!" Dongdong's mother said, "What are you in a hurry for? I haven't mentioned you yet. When did you let me worry? Tell me!" Dongdong Said: "I said what to say! I let you finish the words, so I said what to say!"

Me, Yang Yang, and Dongdong brother pulled Dongdong's mother, and the big man, "third sister" and the wine girl pulled Dongdong. The whole room was in a hurry, and wine bottles and dishes slammed and slammed.Dongdong burst into tears and shouted: "How did my father die in the first place! You say how my father died in the first place!" Dongdong's mother shouted: "You also ask me when he fell to death! What right do you have to ask me this! Your surname Liu’s doesn’t have any good things!” Dongdong shouted: “My father committed suicide! You married my father for money, and then, what did you do, dare you say it!” Dongdong’s mother shouted: "What's wrong with me just for money! I need you, a little white-eyed wolf, to teach me a lesson! Get the hell out of here, Liu Yidong!"

The night shrouded Tiantong Dongyuan.

7.
Many times, I can't understand Dongdong and Dongdong's mother, and I can't see clearly the knots they each have.A pair of mother and daughter, with a status of more than 20 years, have been together for less than five years, and have been separated in the huge city of Beijing for six years. They have become scars that are difficult to heal in the bottom of their hearts. This scar is so sensitive that if you accidentally touch it, It can stimulate pain and bitter pus.

Dongdong came in, wrapped himself in a quilt and curled up beside the bed and said, "Brother Chao, can you chat with me for a while? I'm stuck." I took off the earphones, turned the chair and said, "What's wrong?" She said : "I miss my grandpa." I said: "Dongdong, you should understand your mother, don't keep fighting against her, she just teaches you a lot of times, not harming you. You will be a mother someday, don't you?" Would you intentionally harm your children?" She said, "I've let her go, but she really doesn't have the right to teach me. I know the purpose of her moving here, her man doesn't want her anymore, she is in Beijing I have no home, and I have no face to go back to my hometown, so I expect me to marry a Beijinger with a house and money, so I can rely on me in the future. Why should I support her? She treated me and my dad like that when I was young, and now I have grown up Why should I support her?" I said, "Who didn't do anything wrong when she was young? You can't deny her a chance to change her life just because of this, let alone she is your own mother. You are also a big girl. After so many years in Beijing, you should know the importance of blood ties. No matter how good outsiders treat you, your family members will love you in the end.” Dongdong wiped his tears and said, “Brother Chao, I want to get married, and I want to marry you.” Find someone from my hometown to marry, I don’t plan anything, as long as he has money, I don’t want to stay in Beijing.” I said: “You want a marriage without feelings? Do you want to be the same as your mother?” She Said: "I'm not afraid, married, he finds his, I find mine, everyone plays their own way." I said: "You...my friend's company is recruiting female shop assistants recently, why don't you go to work first Come on, don't keep worrying about your family."

The singing girl stood at the end of the vegetable market and waved. I walked over and said, "What's the matter?" She said, "I have something... I want to see if you are free to help me." I said, "What's the matter? Tell me. "She said awkwardly: "Isn't tomorrow the weekend? There is a new foreman at our place, and I want you to send me there tomorrow afternoon and say hello to her. Just pretend to be my boyfriend. Then you come back, and I will treat you to dinner later." I said, "I don't quite understand, you are not allowed to be single?" She said, "You don't understand, in our line of work, the foremen are generally not good people, and they have boyfriends. , she wouldn't dare to bully you casually."

In the evening, after I finished acting as someone else's boyfriend, I came out of the KTV with the singing girl. She stood under the bus stop sign and said proudly: "Tomorrow, I will treat you to dinner at noon tomorrow." I said: "This You don’t need to treat me for some things, it’s fun, and if you need me to pretend in the future, just say something.” She said: “The foreman is not here often, just show her once, don’t refuse, it’s such a big favor , I have a treat." I glanced into the distance and said, "You really want to thank me?" She said, "Yeah." I said, "Then don't talk for the next 2 minutes."

She frowned, I held her head and kissed her, she trembled all over, her eyes opened in astonishment.

I held the singing girl in my arms and looked at Lu Xiaoyan who was more than ten meters away. Lu Xiaoyan got into the car with a dark face and slammed the door.The accompanying girl's cheeks were hot as if on fire, she turned her head and smiled and said, "Okay, let me go quickly, your girlfriend is going to drive us and kill us."

Dongdong accepted the job I introduced, and took the subway with Yangyang to work in Haidian District every day.On the day of the interview, I deliberately took them around the industrial park there, in order to let them see the most modern workplace atmosphere in Beijing, and to stimulate their awareness and yearning for another way of life.Yang Yang was obviously caught in the trick, his eyes kept rolling and his mouth kept clicking, Dongdong didn't think so, and he was speechless all the way.

Guo Xiaoyu said while driving: "The two people you introduced are good, especially that Dongdong, who is smart, diligent, and methodical. You are talented in both administrative and administrative aspects, remember to bring more people like this in the future.” I looked out the window and said, “If your company doesn’t require academic qualifications, I can bring a bunch of people like this over here, it’s a pity, you guys Both sides have shallow eyesight and look down on us low-level people.” He looked back at me and said, “Don’t worry about this, don’t worry, I’m a department manager now, if Dongdong has done a good job, I’ll still be her supervisor.”
