When I opened my eyes, what caught my eyes was the smooth and clean floor and the golden sunlight falling on it. The breeze passed through the window, swaying and rustling the leaves outside the window mischievously. Snow-white walls and ceilings, strange furniture, quiet air, I am the only one in this small one-bedroom suite.
As the breeze passed through the hall, a scent of scrambled eggs floated in. I don't know who made the breakfast. I stretched my waist and looked at the time displayed on the phone. It was already past nine o'clock. I decided to get up too, go to have breakfast, and calm down the greedy beetles who were seduced by the smell of eggs in my stomach.
Dressed, washed my face and brushed my teeth. Ten minutes later, I took my wallet and a camera on my shoulder, and went out refreshed.
This is the fifth day I moved to this strange city. To be honest, I don’t know much about this city, but when I discussed the idea of changing the city with the old Taoist, the first thing that came to my mind was Here, so, I did not hesitate to buy a ticket.
The old Taoist priests naturally supported my decision. Hearing that I finally rented a room to live in, it made me feel relieved that I don't have to worry about things in the store and take a good rest.
After going through the horrible things for so long, I really want to change my mood. Fortunately, I have a convenience store to support it, and because the income from auctioning antiques is enough to support my parents, I have this confidence. Live the life of salted fish.
Thinking in my mind, I walked all the way out of the elevator, through the small mushroom pavilion garden in the middle, and out of the community.
"Oh, Mr. Hou, did you go out to take pictures again?" Just two steps away, I ran into the landlord head-on, an elderly aunt with a big bag of vegetables in her hand, and she greeted me with a smile when she saw me.
"Auntie, the weather is pretty good today. It is estimated that the mountain flowers are blooming, so I just went to the mountain to go around." I randomly found an excuse and raised the camera in my hand and shook it.
The landlord’s aunt’s smiling eyes narrowed: "Well, you guys have a strange idea of doing art, but you still have to pay attention to safety, then I will go first."
"Goodbye, auntie, slow down too." Fearing that the landlord would see the flaw, I waved my hand quickly and watched the landlord enter the nearby community.
That’s right, the landlord’s aunt lives in the neighbourhood. When she was young, her husband cheated on her, and her aunt hardened her temper to pull the child up. Now when the child is older, she bought her a new house to make her live more comfortable. So the small suite I live in now is used for rent to subsidize my family.
Everyone will encounter hardships in their lives. Some people are lucky and are pulled by others, some are tough and survived, and some are beaten by life and can't get up again.
If I didn't get this ring, would I still feel helpless, or even fall for it
Looking at the spiritual ring on my finger, this question flashed in my mind, and I asked softly in my heart.
"Heh." The red ghost sneered, but there was no response.
With regard to the boring question that occasionally arises for me, the ghost in red has never made any response. It is already very shameful to be able to give a sneer like this kind of response, so my mood improved again inexplicably.
I settled for breakfast at a nice looking noodle restaurant on the side of the road. I took out my laptop, checked the place I planned to go to today last night, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the destination.
A certain famous scenic spot, I swayed in it for a while, I felt a little disappointed, and it was too far away from my imagination.
Great. After I came out, I saw a cable car going up the mountain not far away, so I just sat on it.
To reach the top of the mountain by cable car, there are already many tourists on it, yelling and scrambling to take photos with nature, which is very lively.
The scenery on the mountain is really good, the mountains are foggy, and the flowers are brilliant. I held my camera and squeezed among a group of tourists, pretending to take pictures of the newly blooming mountain flowers, listening to the surrounding chattering and brilliant smiles, which made people unconscious. Can't help but laugh.
When the setting sun went down, I went down the mountain with the tourists and returned to the community where I lived.
The silence when going out in the morning has long been broken by the people who came back. The children who came back from school were playing and chasing each other, the white-collar workers after get off work, the old people chatting idle in the small garden, greet each other, and the more familiar ones It was a joke, the ordinary neighborhood immediately became alive.
"Young man, you're back! I heard that you are an artist, don't you need to go to work?" As soon as he walked into the apartment building and entered the elevator, someone immediately asked next to him.
Pressing down on my own floor, I turned my head and glanced at this uncle, who seemed to be living on my floor. I met several times, and I was familiar with it. When I heard his inquiries, I was a little bit dumbfounded and said: "No, uncle, I Just a photographer who makes money from taking pictures."
"Hey, it's different, it's a decent job. Young man, work hard, save money and marry a wife." The uncle smashed his mouth, waved his hand carelessly, encouraging me, showing a leaky tooth.
The thinking of the older generation is so simple, and the most blessed life is to be healthy and healthy for a lifetime!
Fortunately, with a "ding" at this time, the floor arrived, I greeted quickly and slipped out.
Going back to my room, I ordered another takeaway to fill my stomach, wash and rest.
Another month of this kind of salted fish has passed. During this period of time, I have become acquainted with many neighbors. There are six households on this floor, and I have been mixed up to the point where I can go to the next door to eat and drink. , Of course, I will bring some small gifts in the past, as cooking money.
Neighbors help each other and live in harmony.
The result of the acquaintance is that when these aunts knew that I was still single, they were very enthusiastic about introducing me to girls. Every time they saw me pulling them, they just cracked and said, which made me feel a little emotional and wanted to talk about it again. In love, but after occasionally encountering the "beauties" in the eyes of those aunts, I resolutely declined the aunts' kindness.
For this reason, I have to adjust the time I go out to minimize the chance of meeting them, but sometimes, time does not allow you to bargain, for example, when the necessities at home run out.
Shaking the empty shower gel bottle, I had to go out at this late hour. Fortunately, I remember that there is a convenience store that is open 24 hours a day, not far away.
Walking out of the community, there were no people on the road, and even some families who went to bed early. The lights in the room had already been turned off, and only the street lights on the main road quietly illuminated the empty roadside. Looking at the somewhat gloomy community and tightening my windbreaker, I ran towards the convenience store quickly.
When I left the community, there were a lot of pedestrians on the road, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. Even though I have been exposed to a lot of things, it is human instinct to fear the darkness.
Ten minutes later, I came to the convenience store, opened the glass door and went in. It was like a small supermarket. There were several shelves in the corner.
There are still frozen foods in the freezer. At this time, there are many customers in the convenience store.
The clerk was a lazy man, playing the game with the mouse in one hand, and nodded when he saw me coming in, which was regarded as a greeting.
I have been to this store many times. I picked up the plastic shopping basket by the door and started to put the things I need into the basket. Of course, I didn’t forget to buy some cooked food and snacks, such as potato chips and braised chicken drumsticks. Yes, it's best to eat when watching a movie.
While scanning things, I slowly moved between the shelves and found a woman in a black dress in front of me was blocking the middle aisle sideways, so I whispered, "Excuse me, please let me."
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" The woman was looking down at the thing in her hand, she was shocked when she heard the words, she quickly turned sideways and raised her head to apologize.
On her delicate face, her big eyes were full of apologies.
What a beautiful woman!
When my eyes lit up, I admired in my heart. In order not to appear abrupt, I politely walked around, continued to choose things, and secretly looked at her with my light.
After a while, seeing her walking towards the cash register, I threw the things in my hand into the shopping basket and leaned forward.
There seemed to be more than me who paid attention to her in the shop. When I walked over, there were already two people in line behind her, and I could only stand silently at the end.
In the first place was an elderly grandmother who tremblingly took out the money from her pocket to settle the bill, only a few dollars short.
The clerk was very embarrassed and persuaded the grandmother: "Grandma, you don't have enough money to bring you, buy less things, na, remove this, and buy it next time!"
The grandma couldn't hear her ears well, but the clerk was not allowed to take it away while she was dragging things, making the clerk dumbfounded. She could only patiently explain to her grandma.
As soon as I was about to step out and take the initiative to make up the money, the woman in black stretched out a hand, waved it to the clerk, and said softly, "Okay, okay, let the grandma go with something, that little money I will pay."
The voice was soft and sweet, like a nightingale.
I can't see the front of the woman in black, but from her red ears, I can guess how shy her expression is now. For a moment, I feel my heart really beats, and the corners of my mouth endure. Can't help but lift up, this can be regarded as love at first sight!
When the matter was resolved, the clerk no longer insisted and settled the bill neatly.
Seeing the black-clothed woman carrying the plastic bag out, I deliberately rushed to strike up a conversation, but I was afraid of frightening her, while waiting anxiously for her turn to settle the bill.
Since I bought a lot of things unknowingly, it took a lot of time. When I rushed out of the small supermarket, there had been no trace of the woman in black outside, but there was a group of stray cats not far away, bowing their heads. Eat non-stop.
When I passed by the stray cats, I found that there were many cans on the ground. It was the kind that the woman in black was choosing. I thought that these cans should be bought for these stray cats. Thinking of this, I regretted it again. It's rare to see a woman who is so kind-hearted and willing to help others. She should really be brave enough to come up and strike up a conversation. Now she doesn't know if she can meet her.
But I didn't expect to see the woman in black again so soon, but I just opened the door and she was about to close the door and go in. After asking, I knew that she was my new neighbor and had just moved here.
I immediately couldn't help but laugh in surprise!
