After a hearty barbecue meal, authentic spicy cabbage, pickled cucumbers and miso soup, the three of them went back to the pedestrian street for a walk. Zhang Yanming gave each of them an eyebrow pencil. Lipstick and a Pond's set, and I bought Zhou Xinbing a pink parasol.

By the time we got the two of us to the train station and got on the black seat-sharing car back to Xingzigou, it was already past five in the afternoon. Shopping was really time-consuming.

In mid-June, it doesn’t get dark until after seven o’clock, but at half past five, the sky is already filled with sunset, and the clouds on the top of the mountain in the west are as gorgeous as on fire, and the orange-red sunshine illuminates everything on the earth. All rimmed with gold.

All the objects cast long shadows on the ground. The sun was very bright, but the eyes could feel the darkness, and the things in the shadows became blurry. The wind also picked up, blowing away the slightest trace of heat in the air on the surface. , brings a little coolness.

"Come here." Zhou Xinbing, who got into the car, rolled down the window and called out.

Zhang Yanming went over and bent down: "What?"

A plump white hand stretched out to hook his neck, and soft warmth touched his lips: "Call me when you come back." Li Shuxin rolled her eyes and turned her head to the other side.

"Okay. My brother is getting married on November. I will come back and contact you then."

"Will it be held in Nanshan?"

"Well, it's right over there. That house was given to him. My parents will move to the city in a while."

"Then you, will you never go back?" Zhou Xinbing asked, staring closely into Zhang Yanming's eyes.

"I will definitely go back, but it may not take too much time. I will spend more time outside in the future. The transportation is so convenient now. It is so fast to go to the city or to the Ruhr. Why are you worrying about this?"

Zhou Xinbing said nothing and nodded silently: "Pay attention to your health outside."

Zhang Yanming smiled, waved his hand, and handed the fare to Lao Xu. Just when he caught up with this guy, his car was guarded here.

"Send it to Nanshan. Don't wait for anyone. Just go."

Lao Xu took the money and nodded. Zhang Yanming paid for the four people in the car. He was still waiting. If he went back quickly, he could go home earlier.

Watching Santana walk away, Zhang Yanming tightened his clothes and walked towards the pedestrian street, a little out of mind.

In the car, Li Shuxin touched Zhou Xinbing: "Are you stupid? What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Xinbing shook her head: "No, I didn't think about anything, I just felt a little empty in my heart."

Li Shuxin glanced at Zhou Xinbing, curled her lips, shook her head and looked out the window.

The scenery in front of you quickly regresses, and it becomes the past when it disappears from sight. Time can kill everything, and no one is immune.

Distance creates beauty, but who does that beauty belong to?

…

The workers in the building had already gone off work, and there was a smell of welding floating in the empty space.

Sun Hongye was away, and Zhang Yanjun was sitting alone in the office, thinking about something on his laptop.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Yanming pushed open the door and went in, sitting opposite Zhang Yanjun. He took his notebook and looked at it.

"Don't you think about this big stall? I've never done it before. It's too big all of a sudden. I feel a little overwhelmed and unsure of myself."

"I think too much. It's no different from opening a small shop. It's just that there are more counters and more styles. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Just use your heart. Leave the following things to the people below. You have to Learn to be idle, and only when you are idle can you have time to think."

"It sounds like you've done it before." Zhang Yanjun closed the notebook and threw it into the drawer: "Let's go and help me move."

"Where are you moving today? My mother also asked you to take Tang Jing back, but my father said it must be done. You have to give an explanation when you get together." Zhang Yanming stood up and followed Zhang Yanjun out.

"Are you exposed to me?" Zhang Yanjun turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yanming.

"I'm trying to find a way for you, okay? It's a green light and everything will be fine. Our parents are more open than we thought."

"It's okay." Zhang Yanjun pursed his lips and said, "I'll give you a credit."

When he came downstairs, Zhang Yanjun pulled out the sliding door at the front door and locked it. Don't worry about the courtyard door. He has decided to continue working here. Anyway, he just needs to sleep and lock the door. .

"Where do you live now? How do we move? Carry it?"

"Hire a car, do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Zhang Yanjun turned around and looked at Zhang Yanming with a smile, "March? Just pack a suitcase and hit the road. How many things are you moving?"

"What about your car?" Zhang Yanming looked around.

"We've decided to go there directly after six o'clock. Tang Jing is cleaning up at home. Let's just go back and load the car and come over. You're going to cook dinner tonight, so be more serious about it."

The two brothers waited for a while and took a taxi to Zhang Yanjun's house.

Zhang Yanming is not very familiar with this part of the city. In his memory, except for the prosperous area around the train station and the pedestrian street, they are all commercial areas. He is completely confused about the residential area on Banpo.

Anyway, the car drove along the road, turning corners and heading uphill, with dense buildings and various small shops on both sides.

This is a city built on a hillside. Except for the city center, there is no flat land. It is all slopes.

"We're here, get off the bus." Zhang Yanjun paid the fare in front, called Zhang Yanming, and the two opened the door and got off.

I raised my head and looked around. I was almost at the top of the slope. The road in front of me suddenly sloped down. There were six- and eight-story residential buildings on both sides. There were messy hangings on the balconies of each house. When I saw this A short period of time will never be short.

The truck had arrived and parked on the roadside downstairs. Zhang Yanjun went over to say hello to the driver.

"How much does it cost to rent a house here? One month." Zhang Yanming followed Zhang Yanjun upstairs and asked casually.

"Three hundred, isn't it expensive? My monthly salary is only about a thousand yuan."

"Why don't you try to buy it?"

"I'm kidding, where can I get money? How can I live on this salary? How can I still think about doing some business without saving capital? Alas, my life in the past two years has been really difficult."

"She has no income?"

"A bit, how much can you earn if you go out to work? Now, working as a waiter in a nearby restaurant only earns four to five hundred yuan a month, and you have to give it to your family. I used to wonder that she had to pay her parents every month, but now Understood."

After climbing for a long time, Zhang Yanming almost fainted: "How many floors are there?"

"On the eighth floor, go up and stand on the balcony and take a look. It will feel more comfortable."

"You rented the eighth floor just for this? Do you think you are short-minded?" Zhang Yanming asked with a smile.
