Make a living

By the end of the year and approaching New Year's Day, this gift was finally ready.

The spacious shop is divided into two by fir partitions, with a door in the middle that can be accessed.In one of them, the latest semi-automatic sewing machines are placed. There are several mannequins and models standing in the corner, and there is a long clothes rail protruding from the wall, on which a whole row of beautiful ready-made clothes and skirts are hung.

The other room is still empty.

The vacant front desk is divided into a sales area with glass, and the surrounding walls are painted a bright and eye-catching bright yellow.

This color comes from Zheng Haichuan's own suggestion, saying that this color can make people feel that the food is fresh and arouse people's appetite.

It's just that he said it casually for Sister Hong as a small talk, but she didn't expect to be directly used by Sister Hong.

The back kitchen of this shop has been completely refurbished. Under the guidance of Boss Gui, a super large kitchen stove suitable for many people to use with their hands was built, which is enough for a tall and strong male chef to display his skills in it.

There are still many things left in the shop that have not been arranged - just waiting for the shop owner to take over in person, and then slowly arrange it according to his heart.

On New Year's Eve, Zheng Haichuan also cleaned up his new home on the third floor.

All decorations and arrangements are in place. Although he still lives here, Zheng Haichuan is still willing to call it his "new home".

Brand new, he, Dr. Lu, and Xiao Hemiao moved into a new home together.

During the daytime on December 31st, Zheng Haichuan and Qi Yu, who was on vacation, moved the miscellaneous daily necessities in the apartment to their new home.

The two of them moved from sunrise to dusk and sunset, and finally they were all set up in their new home.

Qi Yu did not intervene in the hard decoration in the early stage, but participated in a lot of soft decoration and home furnishing.Together with Zheng Haichuan, little by little, he rearranged this house full of years into a new look that belonged to them.

Stepping up to the landing on the third floor, there is only one of the two doors in front of you.The other door turned into a white wall, melting into the house itself.

Opening the anti-theft door, Zheng Haichuan looked at the double-sized house with his hips crossed, and his heart was filled with an indescribable swelling.

The place where he slept in the rented house before became the children's room for his little nephew, and the long and narrow kitchen where he used to live was connected with Qi Yu's balcony, and the space was enough for him to cook ten big dishes.The bedroom for two people is also expanded towards the outside of the living room, and a separate bathroom is installed in the bedroom, which is enough for two adults to use together.

There are things that change and things that don't.

The living room and bedroom connect to the porch, where a doorpost reaching to the ceiling originally existed.There is a height ruler extending straight from the bottom to the top of the doorpost, which has faded long ago, but the height marks drawn by children many years ago can still be seen on it.

"My mother rowed it for me."

Qi Yu didn't expect Zheng Haichuan to keep the sticker, so he stepped forward to touch it.

"I guess so." Zheng Haichuan grinned, and pointed out to Qi Yu the newer trace under his finger, "This one was drawn by me for Xiao Hemiao."

Two generations, separated by decades, have small figures overlapping each other.

Now, one of the children has grown up safely and has become the new head of the house.Another child, after being hurt, was raised with love and warmth to be innocent and happy again.

With the consent of his father and father, Zheng Jiahe had already jumped into his own separate children's room to have fun, while Qi Yu stood on the porch with Zheng Haichuan in his arms, quietly feeling the satisfaction and peace that constantly surged in his heart.

"Stay here tonight?"

"Ah."

"The kitchen hasn't fired yet, why don't you go downstairs and buy something to eat?"

"it is good."

"Then is there anything else you want to buy, together?"

"It's gone. But there is a place that I want to show you first."

"where?"

"Close your eyes first."

Zheng Haichuan closed his eyes as he said.

Zheng Jiahe, who was originally playing in the children's room, also sneaked out of the room at this time, looking at Qi Yu expectantly.

Qi Yu nodded slightly at him, and Zheng Jiahe quickly took out a piece of cloth from his overalls—he got it from Aunt Hong on a special trip—and stood on tiptoe to wrap it around his father.

It's just that he is too short, Dad Yao didn't even hug him, he pulled a strip of cloth and tied it up for Dad Yao!

Hmph, he will definitely grow taller than Yao Dad in the future!

Zheng Haichuan didn't expect that the place he was going to was so mysterious that he had to cover his eyes, and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Just follow us." Qi Yu only said.

"... us?" Zheng Haichuan thought to himself, who else?

"Me, me, me!" Zheng Jiahe quickly took Yaoba's hand and pulled it forward excitedly.

Zheng Haichuan's upper body was pulled suddenly, but fortunately Qi Yu took his other hand and took him out steadily.

Three floors of stairs, no more but no less.

Zheng Haichuan couldn't see at all, but he didn't panic at all.

He held his lover in one hand, and his beloved little man in the other. Both palms, one big and one small, were hot, and they held him tightly, not letting go at all.

Zheng Haichuan could feel himself stepping out of the iron gate of the old building.

After walking a few steps outside, turning to the right for another five or six meters, the two people who were leading him stopped.

"Untie it."

This time, Qi Yu bent down and hugged the little guy in his arms, and asked Xiao Hemiao to take off the blindfold that his father was wearing.

Bright yellow but not dazzling warm lights sprinkled down from the top of the pavement, illuminating Zheng Haichuan's face.

Zheng Haichuan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally realized where he was standing.

Isn't this...isn't Miss Hong the shop that she's been busy with recently?

The pavement was also surrounded during renovation before, but Zheng Haichuan didn't see the whole picture inside.It was only then that he noticed that the big shop was divided into two small shops, and all the items that Sister Hong made were on one side.

And the other side was empty... only the glass window at the front desk reflected his dazed face.

"My father, my father!"

Zheng Jiahe, who had been holding back for many days, finally got a hint from Yao's father just now—he doesn't need to hide that secret anymore.

So he immediately jumped from Qi Yu's arm to Zheng Haichuan, and put his arms around his father's neck.

"I'll tell you in secret—"

In the shadow of night and light, the little boy put his mouth close to the young man's ear.

With his hands up, he quietly told Dad Yao a secret that belonged to their family of three.

And behind the two of them stood a tall and handsome man.

He pocketed it with one hand, and wore a pair of cold gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, but under the glasses were smiling eyebrows, who were softly watching the big one and the small one in front of him.

The reflections of the three people are projected by the lights of the shop onto the concrete road with pits and pits in the urban village. In the flow of light, shadow and time, the depressions and ridges of the road are filled up.

In such a quiet gaze, under the bright lights, the expression on Zheng Haichuan's face fluctuated vividly with his little nephew's whispers.

This kind of transformation finally freezes into complex emotion and disbelief. Zheng Haichuan opened his mouth several times, and finally just grabbed Qi Yu's hand in a daze.

"...Dr. Lu...you...daughter-in-law...I...here..."

Zheng Haichuan wanted to say a lot, but found that he seemed to be speechless by Qi Yu recently.

"Like it?"

Qi Yu took over what he hadn't said for a long time, and asked while stroking the rough fingertips in his hand.

"Like, like..."

Zheng Haichuan has already realized why men asked him about his preferences some time ago.But I never thought that the lover would turn his casual sentence into reality.

"But……"

"No, but." Qi Yu brought the person into the store, walked around from inside to outside, and then said, "Do it if you like it. If you don't like it, let's rent it out."

"what?"

Qi Yu looked at his foolish expression and smiled.

"Here, mine." He pinched Zheng Haichuan's silly cheek, "You don't want mine?"

"Ah... yes, yes."

The heaviness in Zheng Haichuan's heart was dispelled by Qi Yu into a gentle spring breeze.He held Qi Yu's hand back and said, "Then... let me try?"

"Well, just try."

Zheng Haichuan used to carry steel bars, and went back and forth between the construction site and the rental house day after day, just to make a living and support himself and his family's cubs.

He never thought that he would meet a person in such a round trip, and this person took off the steel bars from his shoulders, turned the rental house into a home for him and Xiao Hemiao, and gave him the experience he never dreamed of. Live a bright future.

Zheng Haichuan knew that he would still work hard and work hard to make ends meet.

But it's no longer about making a living, it's about living.

Be with the ones you love, raise your family, and live a good life.

postscript:

From March to October, from writing in spring to cool in autumn, another article has come to an end.

When I first wrote the title of "Life", I just wanted to write a story about how ordinary people still work hard to carry the wind and rain forward in the suffering of life.

Later, when I added the copywriting, I already had my own selfishness. I wanted to outline a simple and lovely male mother, and I wanted an annoying iceberg to be warmed by such a person, so that I could see the beauty of life again.

So there was Da Chuan, Dr. Lu, and all the old and young living in the village in the city.

In fact, most of the time when I was writing this article, I also rented in a village in the city. I walked through the messy streets and alleys every day, passing by all kinds of people, and I always wondered what their lives would be like. .

Most people's faces are full of numbness to life and desire for money, but I also see a lot of ordinary happiness between daily necessities and oil and salt.

I want to record this joy.I also want readers who read my words to feel the joy in this ordinary life.

Without further ado, let’s go back to the article itself.

Originally, the topic of male mothers could be written with great enthusiasm from the beginning, but it turned out that everyone was satisfied at the end (laughs, I didn’t expect it either.

As I said before, although the author has created a world, I always firmly believe that people and things in this world have their own life trajectories and are not controlled by the author.

The story of Okawa and Doctor Ritsu has come to the present so naturally, I don't want to make any changes, and I don't want to push them forward, that's how they are.

Dr. Lu, who is rich in material but lacks love for life, meets silly Dachuan who is poor but lives a simple and happy life. The two get closer to each other, and become better because of each other.

They are naturally attracted to each other.Da Chuan warmed up a ball of ice, allowing Qi Yu to see the beauty of life again, and Qi Yu protected a sun, so that Da Chuan would not be extinguished by the wind and rain of life.

As for the small seedlings, with the protection of the sun and rain, they will surely grow into a tough and lovely big seedling.

Their story has come to an end here, but I believe that in a corner of the invisible world, they still continue their ordinary but real life.What kind of story will happen, it is up to you to imagine.

In the end, I still want to thank the little cuties who have been with me and followed up with me.For a person who still has to work during the day, the encouragement of readers is the only motivation for me to continue to update steadily.

If you who read this think this article is not bad, I hope you can leave a message to tell me, and welcome Amway to friends.The works created by myself can be seen by more people and liked by more people, which can be regarded as the only consolation for small authors who love to generate electricity.

Alright, that's about the end of Sui Sui Nian.This book is very lucky to be signed and published. In addition to the update, the follow-up should be a revision, and wb will synchronize with the progress.

In the next book, you may try a different style, or you may continue your interesting life in the city.But before that, I will rest for a period of time, calm down and read books, update the short story collection "Ordinary Food" from time to time, have a bite of food and tell a short story in my spare time.

So that's it.

The rivers and lakes are far away, and there will be a period later, and we will meet again by fate.
