late at night.
Cheng Yunyu was lying on the quilt, his face glowing with spring light. Ji Huai, with his upper body naked, was leaning on the bedside. He reached for the cigarette case and lighter on the bedside table, opened the cigarette case and wanted to smoke a cigarette.
There was no cigarette in the cigarette case. He frowned and opened the drawer again, but there was no more cigarette in the drawer.
"Stop smoking, it will hurt your body and it will do no good." Cheng Yunyu advised him.
"I don't know if I can quit." Ji Huai threw the lighter aside and lay down again.
When I was a gangster, I smoked to look cool, but I didn't have much money before, so I only smoked one and a half cigarettes occasionally. Later, when I got to work, I slowly started smoking more, and my addiction was not that big.
"Quit slowly. I heard chewing gum can help you get rid of your addiction. I'll buy some for you tomorrow." Cheng Yunyu was very considerate. After speaking, she leaned closer to him, wrapped her hands around his waist, and said to him: " My mother called me today and said that my second aunt introduced me to someone and wanted me to go on a blind date."
Ji Huai hugged her, played with her hair, and asked lazily, "How did you get back?"
Cheng Yunyu: "Of course I can't tell her that I'm in love with you. Then she will ask more questions and can only find a reason to push it away. But we have to make a plan. What I want is that we save money together for a few years, and then marry."
She has no big ambitions. The girls in the village who were not in school at her age had given birth to their second child, so she wanted them to save some money for a wedding and then get married.
"Save!" Ji Huai said and went to kiss her again.
"How much do you save in a month?" she asked, making a plan. "You spend money lavishly. You said you would save your salary outside the house before, but in the end you didn't get any. When you go to work, you can give me five hundred a month, and I will do the same." Save five hundred and get married after two years.”
"You haven't found a job yet, so just talk about this and that." Ji Huai lay down and immediately lost all thoughts of being intimate with her. He pressed his thin lips tightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Cheng Yunyu also knew that he was unhappy, and her tone was low and aggrieved: "But we have to get married. We can't stay like this forever."
They have been in love for so many years, shouldn't they get married in two years? If you don't get married, what will you do
"Can you stop thinking about getting married now? I'm so tired!" Ji Huai let go of her and turned over.
His tone was a bit harsh, and Cheng Yunyu's eyes flashed, looking at his back, her eyes were filled with mist unconsciously: "Have you never thought of marrying me?"
"Are you annoyed?" He said in a very irritable tone, and pulled up the quilt again, and said depressedly, "You are only nineteen years old, and you think about marrying me and having children every day. Can you not just think about it? This matter? What we need to think about now is how to make money and how to make money."
He really didn't think about marrying her. He always felt that he had a good time and there were many women. He couldn't sleep with just one woman, and he couldn't play with just one woman.
If he doesn't want to get married for the time being, he probably won't marry her. She's always taking care of him. It's annoying!
Cheng Yunyu was stunned for a moment. After listening to what he said, it seemed that he didn't want to marry her, so he explained, "I said, we need to save money, save money first before getting married."
Ji Huai: "Money is earned, not saved. If you work as a waiter all your life and you will never have money, why should you get married and have children? Can you afford to raise them?"
She was only nineteen years old and didn't understand anything. She stopped talking when he told her, but she was unwilling to give in: "What do you think we should do? You haven't even looked for a job or gone to work, so don't you have even less money?"
"I have my own plan." Ji Huai quickly replied to her, very confidently, "If you leave from there, I will take you to make money together."
"But… "
"Stop it, you are so cowardly. I knew you wouldn't." Ji Huai turned around again, looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "Marriage is not something you can just open your mouth to get married. In a few years, it will be a thing of the past." It's a natural thing, what's the use of talking so much now? It makes me feel stressed and in a bad mood."
Cheng Yunyu lowered his eyes, and because he still wanted to work at a food stall, he whispered: "I just said that, why are you so fierce?"
Ji Huai asked her: "You said that after we get married and have a child, what hope do we have? How much money can we make by raising a family? Do we want our children to live the same hard life as us?"
She was asked, she didn't think much about these things. With a little savings, couldn't she give birth? Everyone is like this.
"We used to go to rural schools, so now we are sending our children to rural schools? We used to have enough food to grow up, but now is that okay? My family hasn't even built a house yet, so why should I marry you and let us live together?" Where?" Ji Huai became more and more irritated as he spoke, "I just want to make money now!"
"Rent a house...Slowly save money to go home and build a house..."
He looked at her like she was a little fool, and couldn't help but raise his hand to flick her smooth and white forehead: "After the child is born, I am still working as a waiter. You take care of the child, and then save a hundred years to build a house?" ?I’m already buried.”
"Well..." Her baby face wrinkled up. Maybe she thought she was thinking too simply, so she stopped talking back and just said, "Aren't you going to get married then?"
Ji Huai: "I'll think about this issue later when I have money."
"Oh." She was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked softly, "Then will you marry me?"
"What? You still want to marry someone else? Whoever dares to marry, I'll beat his head flat!" He did not hesitate, his face darkened when he spoke, and there was a warning in his words.
Cheng Yunyu looked at him like this, a smile came back to her baby face, she went to hug him with a smile, and even kissed him, her voice sweet and sweet: "If I don't marry anyone else, I will marry you~"
Ji Huai hugged the woman into his arms, and on a whim, pressed her under him.
She is just easy to coax, and she will take her sweet words seriously. There are really not many silly girls like her.
Cheng Yunyu saw that he was coming again and quickly stopped him: "No, I have to go to work tomorrow and my legs are weak."
He refused and promised: "I'll be gentle."
"You say that every time, you are lying." She didn't believe him.
"Be sure to be gentle this time."
"No~"
…
After all, she couldn't resist him and was eaten and wiped clean. Ji Huai was sensible and didn't make too much fuss. After it was over, he took her to take a bath and then held her in his arms.
Cheng Yunyu worked for a day and was tortured twice. She was so tired that she fell asleep in his arms.
Ji Huai looked at the white and smooth baby face with a little affection on his face. He rubbed her cheek with his thumb and index finger, and his eyes softened a lot.
In the previous life, after he drove her away, she still came to him several times to explain. He was so impatient that he even picked up a stool and tried to hit her to make her, a flirting bitch, go away.
She was heartbroken and never showed up again. Later, she followed her family's arrangements and married her blind date. However, because he was good-looking, could smoke, drink, and eat betel nuts, and could brag and borrow money to show off, he did live a good life after they separated from her. For a long time, I had a comfortable life. There were many women, and I lived a life of idleness. When I had no money, I went to do some work, and when I had money, I continued to live my life.
He gambled, went whoring, and did various shady businesses... His life was exciting, but he had an irregular schedule, drank too much, smoked, and ate too much. He soon changed drastically and became a middle-aged uncle ahead of schedule.
With no wife, no children, no income, and no fixed place to live, who would want to be with him
At this time, he went to look for her again. She didn't want to see her again, so he threatened her that he would disturb her family. If she didn't come out to see her again, he would go directly to her husband.
Cheng Yunyu had no choice. He wanted to use force on her after he came out a few times, but he failed in the end. But her life was not good either. Her husband was not a good person. He secretly took drugs. She knew that there was no way to save her, so she quickly divorced and escaped from the sea of misery. He has a daughter with him.
Of course he would not marry his second wife. After being entangled for a while, they separated again, and the Cheng family began to arrange marriage arrangements for her again.
Cheng Yunyu resisted, but she was a woman with a child, and her family couldn't help. After being disappointed with him, she no longer had any illusions. She was introduced to her second husband, who was of good character and had a personality. son.
Reorganizing the family is all for profit. The other party is a high school teacher and can also help her daughter. In order to make the family structure more stable, her mother-in-law proposed to have a child, and the Cheng family also advised her. However, Cheng Yunyu's life was really bad. Her ex-wife divorced again, her stepson and her mother-in-law also arranged a match, and her second husband finally decided to marry her. She divorced and got back together with her ex-wife.
His ex-wife was an attending physician, her mother-in-law had a good family, and she was helpful to her son. Cheng Yunyu was pregnant with the child, but she had no choice but to abort it. She has no education, no background, no ability. She has a good face, but she has been wasted these years. She is not yet forty, half of her hair is gray, and her face is full of wrinkles and fatigue.
He is picky and has been a bachelor for the rest of his life without a son or a daughter. She is better than him and has suffered a lot. She has a daughter and wants her to study more. He also works hard to make money, but it doesn't work. , the other party still dropped out of school early, married earlier than her, and fell into the next cycle.
Later, he found out that she was stupid when she was young and wanted to save money to get married with him for nothing. The girls he brought home were all pregnant. They ate, drank, cheated out of money, and gave away their children. A dozen and left.
You can fall in love and sleep with him, but few people want to marry him sincerely, and no one is willing to endure hardships with him.
Thinking about it carefully, his life was not good either. He thought he was doing something wrong, but in fact he was just a clown. At the same time, he indirectly harmed her and made her suffer for the rest of her life.
If you don't get hurt by him, maybe you can work seriously, save some money, find a good man to marry, and be happy.
…
Cheng Yunyu was in the afternoon shift today. She was tired yesterday, so she didn't wake up until noon. Ji Huai was lazier than her and couldn't even move.
When she wanted to get up, he hugged her and prevented her from getting up, and even tried to move his hands and feet.
Cheng Yunyu: "I have to go to work. If I am late for a while, I will deduct money."
"I deduct money every day and tell you to stop doing it." Ji Huai let go of her, pulled up the quilt himself, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Afraid of making him angry, she changed the subject: "Do you want to eat noodles? I'll cook some noodles."
Ji Huai didn't open his eyes: "Well, cook more."
The house they rented didn't have a kitchen, but there was an induction cooker in a corner. She washed the pot, put water in it, and then went to wash up.
After washing up and the water in the pot boiled, she took the noodles, tore open the package and put them inside.
They bought a lot of instant noodles and cornmeal. There is no refrigerator here, and other things are hard to store. Instant noodles are the best, and he likes to eat them.
The room was filled with the fragrance of noodles. He woke up and got out of bed to wash up. When she came out, she put the noodles in a bowl, just big enough to eat. He sat down on the ground and started eating the noodles.
Cheng Yunyu also filled a bowl for herself. She looked at the time and ate quickly because she had to rush to work. When she was about to finish eating, she asked Ji Huai, "What are you going to do later?"
He didn't have a job, and he wasn't looking for one. If she asked, he would be unhappy. He also said that after working hard for so long, he wanted to take a break and asked her not to worry too much.
"Sleep, let's talk after you wake up." Ji Huai finished his last bite of noodles and said to her with a pointed smile, "I was exhausted yesterday, so I need to catch up on some sleep."
Some fragments appeared in Cheng Yunyu's mind, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly took their bowls and walked aside: "I won't tell you anymore, I'll finish washing the dishes and go to work."
She did all the housework at home, and she didn't think there was anything wrong.
Cheng's mother is also busy at home and outside the home, and she thinks it should be like this. Cheng's father makes money and does hard work, one is in charge and the other is in charge of outside. When she gives birth to a child, she will definitely take care of the child at home, and leave the outside matters to her. he.
When Cheng Yunyu left, Ji Huai was lying on the bed, but he didn't sleep.
What can you do to make money now? He had no education, no connections, and it was impossible for him to work as a waiter for a dead salary. After thinking about it, he took off the pillow on the bedside, opened the mat, and took out a stack of red banknotes from underneath.
He got a salary of 2,400 from a food stall a few days ago, and spent a lot of money. He originally wanted to treat his friends to dinner and drinks, but because of the rain and bad mood, he slept at home for a few days.
"One, two, three... four, five..." He counted the red banknotes, and finally stopped, "One thousand and eight."
What can one thousand eighty do
Half an hour later, he was walking through the snack street in the urban village. There were snacks from all over the country. Some of the stalls that were not viable needed to be sublet. He even called to ask, and he would be charged 600 to 700 yuan for those stalls. He had no interest in learning more about the transfer fee.
Ji Huai calculated the bill, the stall fee and the racks, plus the equipment he needed to equip, which cost a few thousand, and this street didn't have a lot of people, so it wasn't cost-effective.
He walked to a small shop and blurted out: "Boss, I want to get a pack of Black Shark cigarettes..." Before the other party came, he said, "Sorry, I won't buy it."
Smoking is not cool at all, and you still have a cough in your old age, forget it.
The milk tea shop next to it was holding an event. Ice cream cost one yuan each. He bought one and walked forward while eating it.
"The car is a bit old, but it can still be ridden. Do you want it? I'll give it to you cheaply."
"What do I want to do with this car?"
"You ask me if anyone wants it. I'll be leaving in a few days."
…
In the alley, a little old man was talking to a middle-aged man. When Ji Huai heard the voice, he looked at the old tricycle, looked at it twice, and slowly took a bite of ice cream.
It's so sweet, it tastes like cheap saccharin.
The two were still talking. Ji Huai walked over to the other side and stared at the car: "How to sell this car...?"
Both sides of the carriage were rusty, the red paint peeled off a lot, and the seat cushions were all peeled off. They were padded with a few rags. The front of the carriage was dirty. It must have been used for a long time.
"Do you want to buy it?" The little old man pointed to the car, "If you want to buy it, I will give you four hundred. This car can drive, there is no problem, the battery was just replaced the year before last. My daughter-in-law has given birth to a baby, and we are going to give it to her. If you take care of your children, you will definitely not come back in two or three years, and if your car is left here and no one drives it, it will definitely break down.”
He and his wife usually collect scraps, and this vehicle is an electric tricycle for hauling scraps.
Ji Huai said he wanted to test drive, and the other party gave him the key. He had never driven a tricycle, but he could drive an electric car or a motorcycle. After sitting on it, he inserted the key, slowly twisted the handle, and drove forward.
The car is old, so it has some problems when driving, and it's a little slow, but it doesn't matter. I drove it for two laps and I think it's pretty good.
He drove the car back and said to the little old man: "Three hundred and fifty. The front of the car is difficult to control, and the brake on the right side doesn't seem to be very sensitive. I have to get it repaired."
The little old man who collected scraps was better than him, and the two went back and forth. He took the tricycle with 375, plugged in the battery, took the charger given by the little old man, and drove home.
