suddenly tired

This weekend when Ji Sumen was on sick leave, they really went looking for a house.Originally, I wanted to find it near the part-time English teaching place in Jian'an District, but it turned out that there were all large flats of about [-] square meters. Yes, the usable area of ​​the apartment for both commercial and residential use is very small, and the property’s water and electricity are very expensive. In the end, godfather Zhao Yuan called him:

"My acquaintance has a house in the school district that I want to rent out. It's very close to here, but the house is not big, and it's on the top floor. If you can accept it, you can go and have a look."

Zhong Lei asked: "Won't the housing in the school district be very expensive?"

"The house is relatively small, and there are elderly people in his family who don't want to climb the stairs. The houses in the school district are expensive to sell, and they are rented out at the market price. If you rent it, I will give him a bottle of wine and let him make it cheaper!"

Ji Sumian agreed and made an appointment to go there later.He couldn't describe the feeling of looking at the house. There was always a joyful feeling of planning a future life with someone. Even the air seemed to smell the unbelievable fragrance of flowers and fruits, sweet and delicious.

The house is on the top floor and also has an attic, but it is much more formal than the one in Xingyuan. There are formal stairs. There is a bedroom and a small bathroom upstairs. The living room, bedroom, kitchen and a larger bathroom are downstairs, which is especially suitable for two people. , Zhao Yuan, who accompanied them to see the house, said: "I look good, what do you think?"

"Very good. I've seen a lot of places and this place is the most suitable, so we will rent this place for godfather!" Ji Sumian was very excited.

Zhong Lei thought for a while: "The house is nice, but it's just walking all the way. This alley is too narrow, and the main road is outside. I don't know where the car can park."

"That's right. There is indeed no parking space in the old community."

"Or park in the company's parking lot, but it's a little far away, on the side of the bus head office."

"Ah, that's too inconvenient."

Zhao Yuan said: "Otherwise, if you park in the courtyard of the tavern, it will only take you ten minutes to walk over."

Zhong Lei is still hesitating, but Ji Sumian has already made a decision for him: "Great, the problem is solved, that's it!"

"Tsk, what a blind decision, won't it delay people's business by staying in the courtyard!" Ji Sumian's head was pushed.

"The business in the tavern is not that good, not many people are willing to sit outside!"

Zhao Yuan was upset, and pushed his head: "What are you talking about, who is saying that business is not good!" After speaking, he laughed again, "But it is true, it is not to the point where it can delay business, and my own car is also parked. there."

So Building No. 11, Qijing Lane, will be their home from now on.

Ji Sumian changed his WeChat name to "Aiden711", and Zhong Lei asked, "Did you find a new part-time job at a convenience store?"

"Oh no, show off my new home."

"I can see that you can't wait to move out of Xingyuan."

Ji Sumian didn't admit or deny it, he didn't know how to express it, the apricot garden was a lair that fell from the sky to him, a place where he wanted to hide in it to escape the difficulties of the world, at this point, he believed Zhong Lei felt the same way.

"No." He said, "I didn't think so. I will always remember that home, the way back to Xingyuan, and of course how I got out from there."

Zhong Lei smiled softly: "It's like the founder of a listed company telling the history of his struggle."

"Oh, why are you mocking me again!" Ji Sumian was more courageous now, and dared to choke back and even pretended to hit him, "I just think that place has made me a more fulfilling person."

Zhong Lei touched his head: "Well, it also turned you into a taller person. My scientific breeding is quite effective."

After fighting for a while, Ji Sumian suddenly asked, "Brother Lei, will the apricot garden be demolished?"

"Sooner or later, it has been rumored that it will be the second half of the year. Anyway, now that the land plan has been announced, we just moved out a little earlier than them."

"Where will Xiao Chen's family move? There are many people in his family, so it's hard to find a house."

"I said I wanted to see a nearby resettlement house, and see if I could buy one."

"Buy a house here?"

"Yeah, the eldest of his family is about to go to elementary school, and he can't rent a house like this all the time. It's not stable. I guess he has saved some money over the years, and the family can make up for it to make a down payment."

"Wow, that's amazing! Making breakfast can afford a house."

"It's very hard to make breakfast. I have to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning every day. I have been busy until the afternoon before I have time to sleep."

"That's true. What should I do? I'm already missing the meat buns he made."

"Promise! I'll make it for you after moving house, it's much more delicious than his cooking!" Zhong Lei put his hand around his neck, "Go, pack your bags!"

This action was so sudden that Ji Sumian didn't react, and was staggered by him, but his heart was suddenly sweet, like a slice of bread popping out of a toaster, crisp and delicious.

They had very few things, so they packed four boxes and put them away. Zhong Lei loaded the luggage into the car, turned around and saw Lao Fang at the entrance of the alley.

"Leave me your pot," he said.

"Okay, I'll move there for you later." Zhong Lei said while handing him a cigarette, "If you can't find a place to move at short notice, just tell me, I have a place to live there, but I just have to climb the sixth floor. A little high."

"I can't do it on the sixth floor. I can't climb up. Me, wait for the house to be demolished and give me an elevator room."

"The demolition and resettlement houses are of course high-rise buildings. Take a look around here. Are there houses below 30 floors? If you want a villa, they won't give it to you."

"I don't want a villa either. It's too big and I'm not used to living in it, and I have to work hard to clean it."

"whispering sound--"

When they were joking, Ji Sumian ran over with a bucket: "Uncle Fang, leave this mop to you. I finished cleaning it. I bought this new one not long ago, and it's very useful."

"If you don't give it to him, he is going to live in a villa." Zhong Lei hurriedly said.

"Ah?" Ji Sumian went in without knowing it, "Didn't you just say that the trunk is not easy to pack and let me wash it and send it to Uncle Fang?"

"Haha." Lao Fang took it with a smile, "Don't listen to him, he's just a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

Ji Sumian chuckled: "Brother Lei is very worried about you. He always said that we have moved away and there is something wrong with Lao Fang, so I don't know who to turn to."

"He is just worrying about you. You are obviously a young man. He has to take care of a girl. Let me go to see if you are home at night and see if the door is locked. It's really long-winded--" Before he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupt.

"I think you're just being naughty, it's just like this when you're old, that's enough, let's go!"

He pulled Ji Sumian up and left, only to hear Lao Fang say something behind him: "Bring some braised pork back when you're free!"

"Eat and eat, you will know how to eat!" He said angrily, but he smiled.

They went back to get the last bit of luggage, and Zhong Lei took a look at the house that Ji Sumian had cleaned very neatly. It looked a little bright and clean, just like the day he just moved in.He decided to rent it because he saw the cleanliness of the house. Knowing the situation of the previous tenant, he still rented it, not only because it was cheap, but also because it was in the corner of Xingyuan Village, a peaceful escape from the world. He respects ghosts and gods, but he is not afraid of them. After all, there is nothing more terrifying than being abandoned by the whole world.

When Ji Sumian entered the room, he suddenly hugged him, causing Zhong Lei to drop his car keys on the ground in fright, but he only hugged him once and then let go.

"thank you."

"What are you doing, thank me for what?"

"Thank you for taking me in, and thank you for taking care of me."

"Oh."

"It turns out that Uncle Fang often comes over at night to see if I'm home safely?" His eyes were shining with joy.

Zhong Lei didn't say anything, he always felt that such a little bit of kindness was not worth mentioning. He understood that taking care of someone was nothing more than food and security. The conditions in this place are not good, and the security is poor. There is always someone to look after.

"The result still scares you?"

"At first, I was quite scared. He always appeared and disappeared without a sound. Later, you always said that Uncle Fang is a very nice person, so I am not afraid anymore."

"He used to be a policeman. He will not harm you, but only protect you."

"Police?" Ji Sumian was surprised, "No, didn't you say he just came out not long ago? Not the one I thought...'coming out'?"

"Just from where you think it is, but I know he's a good guy."

"Why? Why did he go in?"

"I can't explain it for a while, so let's talk when I have time." Zhong Lei picked up his bag and pushed him out, "Hurry up and send the things back. I still have time to buy some furniture in the afternoon."

Going to IKEA with someone you have a crush on makes you feel like you are in a state of panic. Looking at these built houses, you can always see things other than furniture, their lives.For example, the color of this set of cabinets is very cold, like my brother Lei likes; this computer desk is very good, it does not take up space and can adjust the angle, which is suitable for me; wow, this carpet is so fluffy and comfortable, if you can lie on it and see it with Brother Lei The projection is just fine... There are many people in the shopping mall on weekends. Ji Sumian is next to Zhong Lei, arms touching arms, and helps him push the shopping cart together. However, it is really crowded for two people to push a shopping cart. Zhong Lei Let go of the handle: "How about you push?"

"I do not."

"Then what are you squeezing?"

Ji Sumian had nothing to say for a moment, but he muttered again: "It's not that I deliberately squeezed it, it's just that there are a lot of people..."

Zhong Lei felt that it was very painful to visit IKEA with Ji Sumian. He had already made a shopping list and just bought the things on the list. This person still had to look around and gossip, and went to the sofa when he saw it. Sitting, laying down when seeing the bed, wanting to see everything, I have to remind myself from time to time, "I can't put it down", "I don't need it", "It's too expensive" and so on.The most important thing is that he is a person, why should he stick to himself!The weather is already hot enough, and the arms still have to be together!The blood in Zhong Lei's whole body was boiling with a palpitating heat, and every mirror he passed seemed to be able to peep into his inner restlessness.

He felt that he urgently needed to cool down, and asked Ji Sumian: "Are you... hot, do you want something cold?"

"Huh? Good."

After a while, Ji Sumian watched him bring back a glass of ice cream in one hand and an ice cream in the other, and handed it to her: "Which one do you want?"

He lowered his head and took a bite of the ice cream before taking the coffee.

"You are great!"

Zhong Lei looked at the ice cream with a corner missing. The short distance he walked had already made it melt with tears. He wanted to continue eating, but he couldn't finish it. It seemed that Ji Sumian's tongue licked just now flashed in front of his eyes. The scene that went up was like a rose petal in the snow, delicate and magnificent, with a seductive arc, as light as a feather, but tightly adhered to his imagination, imagined a secret scene, and smashed deeply into the bottom of his heart.
