That day was quickly forgotten by Lu Yin.
Later, after discussing the style and quantity with the relevant departments of Xiaoyahe, this batch of clothes was put into production, and she never went to that ghostly place again.
It was another Monday, and Lu Yin deserted at the regular meeting.
She took a pen to write and draw on the bottom, calculating the decoration cost of the new house and future expenses. After buying the house, I was heavily in debt, most of the cash on hand was spent on renovations, and I had to purchase electrical appliances and furniture later on. Lu Yin clearly listed them all.
The trivial matters were messy and messy, but she was delighted and satisfied.
Lu Yin took out her mobile phone, took a picture of the notebook, and sent it to Liu Zecheng via WeChat.
The leader above was still talking, and she was absent-minded, pointing her finger up and down, the screen flickered on and off, and the message she sent was lost in the sea.
After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, and Lu Yin went out with the flow of people.
Director Du stretched his neck and shouted, "Lu Yin, come to my office."
Lu Yin was startled, and hurriedly responded.
...
After leaving the factory director's office, she sent another message to Liu Zecheng.
Lu Yin leaned against the wall, lowered her head, and put the phone back into her pocket until the screen turned dark.
When he got off work, Liu Zecheng finally called and said he would go home for dinner tonight. Lu Yin turned to the nearby market first, bought a piece of fresh catfish, celery and lettuce according to his preferences, thought for a while, and brought two dozen beers with him.
When entering the community, the security guard Lao Li called her to stop, "Xiao Lu, there is your courier."
The gate of the community is an old-fashioned hollow iron gate. The road is not too wide. There is a half-new sentry box on the right side, and the sound of electric current from the radio comes from inside. The khaki walls are scattered, the corners are mottled, and moss grows wantonly.
Lu Yin paused and freed up a hand: "Thank you."
Lao Li said, "You have delivered quite a lot recently."
She smiled: "There are a lot of decoration materials for the new house, I bought some online."
"Going to move?"
"It will take a while." Lu Yin walked forward, "The new house is not finished yet... sorry for your inconvenience, Master Li."
Lao Li waved his hand: "You're welcome."
Lu Yin walked into the community.
She and Liu Zecheng have lived here for five years since they graduated from university.
Several old buildings have been in the old city for some years, but fortunately, the surrounding facilities are complete, life is convenient, and it is rare that there is property management. At the sentry box at the entrance, several security guards are on duty day and night. Usually, residents come to change water and repair electric gates, and the law and order are not bad. Therefore, although the house is a bit old, it is still comfortable to live in and has not been changed.
later.
Just after a few dishes were fried, there was the sound of the door lock turning.
Lu Yin put the plate on the table, pointed her head and said, "Are you back? Wash your hands and eat." After speaking, she ran back to the kitchen in small steps.
Liu Zecheng didn't respond, and lowered his head to change his shoes. Putting down his backpack and going to the bathroom to wash his hands, before sitting down at the dining table, he pecked Lu Yin's forehead.
Lu Yin's cheeks were reddened by the heat, and thin beads of sweat ran down her neck. She smiled: "Is the research institute busy recently?"
Liu Zecheng took a sip of soup, "Yes."
"Don't patronize, there is no good rest, and there is no delicious food, try to come back to sleep at night."
The porcelain spoon hit the edge of the bowl, there was a crisp 'ding', and after a while, "Well", he said, "Xiao Wang has asked for leave, and there are not enough staff in the office these two days."
Lu Yin said, "Give me a pinch later?"
Liu Zecheng paused, raised his head, looked at her for a while, and finally put down the soup bowl and held her hand. His eyes are doting, and there seems to be a soft magic power in those eyes, looking straight into her eyes.
At school, Liu Zecheng was the one who chased her. Lu Yin never paid attention to her appearance, nor did she put too much attention on her love affairs, but she was inadvertently attracted by those eyes.
At an ignorant age, love comes from a heartbeat, and they started like this, and the six years of companionship passed quickly like quicksand at the fingertips.
...
Lu Yin was dazed, and held his hand back, "What's wrong?"
Liu Zecheng squeezed the bones of her hand, with a slightly tired and guilty smile on his face, "It doesn't matter if I suffer more, I want you to live more comfortably, the road ahead is still long, I have a lot of time to accompany you looking at you."
Lu Yin's heart warmed up, "I'm afraid you're too tired."
"I know."
The two got tired of it, and it took a long time to pick up the bowls and chopsticks.
Lu Yin said: "The new house is basically completed, and I may not have enough money to buy furniture..."
"Okay." Liu Zecheng took a mouthful of rice and said, "I'll get it for you tomorrow, is 20,000 enough?"
Lu Yin said, "Almost, I'm making up the rest."
A topic can be explained clearly in a few sentences.
The dining table returned to silence. Without words for a moment, he bowed his head to eat.
Lu Yin bit her chopsticks, remembering that Director Du had looked for her today, she opened her mouth and was about to speak when the phone rang.
Liu Zecheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Yin: "It's from the research institute, I'll go and listen." After speaking, he walked to the balcony and closed the living room door behind his back.
With his back turned all the time, Lu Yin couldn't hear what he said to the other party. The whole phone call lasted nearly ten minutes. After he came back, his face was relaxed, and even his eyes were bright.
Lu Yin didn't bother to ask, and continued on the topic just now, "Did you read the message I sent you today?"
"You said that the unit arranged training?"
Lu Yin nodded: "It's a rare opportunity. It's a VR trip to Shanghai. I want to ask your opinion."
"when to go."
"The 15th of next month."
Liu Zecheng said, "Since you think the opportunity is rare, you can go."
Lu Yin said, "We got married at the beginning of the month, and it will be half a year since we left. I want to have a baby first."
Liu Zecheng tightened his fingers, tapped the tabletop, and said comfortingly, "This matter cannot be rushed."
Lu Yin bit her lip, "Forget it." She pondered, "Let's not go."
"… what ever."
***
On the other side of the city, it was just after nine o'clock, and it was already in darkness, which was in stark contrast to the bustling traffic and endless brilliance in the city.
The hazy moonlight is divided by the railings of the narrow and flat windows, and sprinkles finely in the empty room.
Lu Qiang put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs casually, and still wore the same black vest. The dragon on his chest seemed to restrain his wanton and arrogant arrogance in the darkness, and followed his master quietly staring at the small piece of sky outside the window.
Xiaoyahe is located in the outskirts, and the night sky here is not polluted. The sky outside the window is like a silky satin splashed with ink, and a few stars are suddenly dotted, making the silk satin shine brightly. It's just that they are suddenly separated by railings in the middle, losing a little bit of beauty.
The starry sky symbolizes freedom, which is the place everyone yearns for here.
Lu Qiang couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. He was released early next month after serving his sentence. He used to look forward to it day and night, but the closer it got, he lost his excitement and his heart became more peaceful. It's like getting something you're happy with, but you don't know how to use it.
This may be at a loss.
Lu Qiang turned over and lay on his side.
He lived in a large prison cell with 12 people. There were many people in a mess, and there was an atmosphere of confinement and decay in the air. From time to time, there were people talking, and there were also iron beds in hidden corners, making rhythmic creaking sounds. Here, this kind of phenomenon is too common, and everyone is not surprised at all, and they don't pay attention to it at all.
The snoring above was loud, Lu Qiang couldn't fall asleep, so he gave a low 'fuck' sound and kicked the bed board upwards.
There was a movement on it, and finally there was no movement.
The person in the bed next to him turned over, accompanied by a few suppressed coughs.
Lu Qiang looked over, and his voice was extremely low: "Old man Deng, can't you sleep?"
Old Deng said, "I'm going out, and you won't be able to sleep either."
Lu Qiang laughed twice, "I'm guilty, I can't get on the ground."
Old Deng said: "Go out and find a good place to stay?"
"I found a job there."
"That's fine." Lao Deng sighed: "If you go out, don't come in again."
Lu Qiang snorted, "I'm not here, so I can't take care of you. From now on, I'll work more and talk less, so I'll stay around when you meet troublemakers."
"Know."
"I went out to see you and bring you something to eat."
Old Deng smiled lightly: "Don't worry about me, it's fine."
Old Deng ignored him and turned his back to him. Lu Qiang sneered, and looked out of the window again.
In the past six years, all kinds of scenes are free, and all kinds of scenes seem to be vivid in my mind overnight.
Lu Qiang used to be all-powerful, but the higher he stood, the worse he fell. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and he fell from heaven to hell with one move.
After hanging around for so long, he has forged a lot of grudges, and the grudges are waiting for the day when he falls down. Now that I think about it, it is a miracle that I can survive until now.
During the period when he first came in, there was no one who was not injured on his body every day, the one who was squatting inside, and the one who was sent outside, gnashing their teeth and trying to kill him.
Lu Qiang was tough, he was a man when he was tough, and he risked his life to fight with those people.
If it weren't for old man Deng, he would have died long ago.
A group of people beat him alone, and the sharpened toothbrush almost penetrated the aorta in his neck. At the last moment, old man Deng stretched out his arm to help him block it.
At that time, everyone was stunned, and there was no sound around him. He stared at the wound on his shoulder, his eyes were red, his veins were bulging, and even the scar on his temple would burst immediately.
He tilted his head and spit, knelt down, patted Old Deng, and said hoarsely, "Old man, hold on."
He was extremely fast, and in the next second, the toothbrush had been pulled off Old Deng's shoulder.
Old Deng snorted, and the people around him also gasped.
It happened only for a moment, and everyone was still in shock, only to see Lu Qiang suddenly turned around, and with a lunge, the fist holding the toothbrush had already punched into the opponent's ribs.
The scene was chaotic, and the group of people rushed towards him. Lu Qiang couldn't take care of it, and was quickly pushed against the corner. The leader had a fierce expression on his face, stabbing his eyeballs with a toothbrush.
Lu Qiang thought he was doomed, but when he heard a gunshot, the leader paused and fell down like mud.
Looking through the gap, I saw a policewoman holding a pistol at the door, her eyes were like torches...
The turmoil subsided, Lu Qiang squatted in a small cell, and the group was transferred to another prison cell. The person whose internal organs were pierced by a toothbrush was seriously injured and almost died, and lay in the hospital for half a month.
Not long after, he was released, and everyone knew that he was ruthless and that he was a bereaved dog. No one would dare to provoke and cause trouble in the future.
...
Lu Qiang had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he didn't know whether to cherish it with pride, or to laugh it off and start again.
But he thought, what Lao Deng said was right,
"Go out, don't come back."
