Tales on the Green Train

Because of taking over private work, Hu Bing's two-day vacation was shortened to one day, and the other day was reserved for Liu Guolin and his woodcarving exhibition.

As for Liu Guolin, Hu Bing's familiarity with him is second only to what time he should get up every day-after all, he really doesn't know when to get up.

Liu Guolin is Zhang Yan's second master. Hu Bing has been paying attention to him unconsciously, but he has no chance to contact him directly. , Imagining how that person used to live in the time he lost.Is he holding a knife, carving stroke by stroke with a focused expression, is he serious and even forgot to blink his eyes?

Before that, he didn't think about going to Zhang Yan, although many small details he showed on the public platform said: I've been thinking about you, but he didn't realize it.

Life is too ordinary, and the heart is like stagnant water without waves, without throwing a stone into it, you can't find out what's under the water.

"Zhang Yan...", he shouted in his heart, and strong thoughts flooded his heart.

Cars were stuck on the elevated road, and Hu Bing bought his house in the suburbs. One reason was that when he bought it, there were no new houses in the city center. The city center of Yancheng was so thoroughly developed that there was no place to build another public toilet. Buying a new house can only be done in the outskirts of the city.

The second is cleanliness. When you go home at night and open the windows, you can't hear anything except the sound of wind and insects.Walking on the road, you can't see people, only the shadows of cars.It is especially suitable for him who has exhausted his emotions during the day and is a useless person when he comes home at night.

Traffic jam is also a kind of enjoyment. It is a closed space without the loneliness engraved in the bones of the family.Especially in the traffic jam at night, listening to music and turning on the air conditioner is very atmospheric, and it will be even better if it rains.The rain blurred the glass, and even the figure of the owner of the car next to him could not be seen.It's a rare break.

The car was stuck on the road for more than an hour before reaching the community. The 120-square-meter house, with three bedrooms and one living room, is still rough, but the furniture has already been moved. After all, the rent in Yancheng is quite expensive.

The decoration company will come over next Monday. According to the decoration budget and housing loan, Hu Bing will not have to look for a second life goal for more than ten years.

Hu Bing put the wood carving on the bedside table, planning to find a place for it after the decoration is finished.Then he leaned on the bed and took out his mobile phone to look at the grayed out name, then turned on the computer and started sorting out the script for the next episode.

Recently, I asked for leave due to major renovations and the station. Except for the weekly fixed programs that must be recorded, I recently pushed back some jobs that I didn't have.In addition, the long-term toil is really too much for the body. People refuse to accept their old age. Weekly exercise training to keep in shape can't change the body that is gradually losing flexibility.

After Hu Bing arranged his work, he flew home directly, going in the afternoon of the first day and leaving in the afternoon of the second day.The clean time he stayed at home was only one day, and he began to fall into the "baptism of love" the next day.

Hu's father would touch his bald head to give him some soul-deep "education". The old couple didn't seem to be aware of the trauma brought to their own son, and it may be because Hu Bing never complained to them After all, there is no reason for a son to educate his parents.

Who knows if his parents discovered this pattern, this time he started education and baptism on the first day he arrived home——

As soon as Hu Bing entered the door, he found a fresh and refined little girl sitting on the sofa in his house - ponytail, white shirt, and jeans. He turned around and smiled at him.

A burst of anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and what was directly expressed on his face was that his facial muscles were relatively stiff-why did he want to play the cut first and then the play this time?Bitter tricks and preaching didn't work anymore, so I started to change to a new way.

Repressed anger made his views a bit extreme, and it was not easy to keep calm in this situation.

"This is Xiao Ran, our downstairs neighbor who just moved here," Hu's father said in greeting.

Papa Hu didn't say a word when the Dong Chuang incident happened ten years ago, and afterwards it seemed that there was no such thing at all. He still should urge and talk about the trouble, and support a family drama by himself.

It's as if Zhang Yan didn't exist...

Hu Bing snorted coldly, thinking that the reason was very convincing—a subtle soft knife?

He nodded aloofly at this little girl who looked younger than him, maybe five or six years old, and went straight into the bedroom to put his luggage without changing his shoes, intending to find an excuse to hide from Che Xiang.

"Xiao Ran is your fan, and I know you came back today to see you," Hu's father chased to the door and said.

"How would she know that I came home today if you don't tell me?" Hu Bing thought, but he was too lazy to say it.

"Thank her for me." He also thought of a perfect excuse to get out, "I'm going to meet a partner at the TV station, and I don't have time to entertain her."

After speaking, he put on his mobile phone and went out the door.

When he was about to go out, Hu's mother suddenly asked him in an unstable tone: "Are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Her tone of voice was like a long time no stranger, trembling, which made people feel pity.It was this kind of pity that kept fighting with the pain in his heart, making him struggle like a seesaw.

It may be that after suppressing the pain for a long time, people will fall into a kind of sickness, and start to struggle to want to be presumptuous, and want to break all the shackles.This struggle and his own rationality wrestled with each other, allowing him to maintain his superficial demeanor.

Hu Bing suppressed his temper and tried his best to speak kindly: "The station has announced that it will host the New Year's Eve party. It is too busy and there is no time. I will be very busy in the second half of the year." Meaning: I will not be back in the second half of the year.

His excuse for not going home is perfect: I have to work, so I don't have time, but it just inexplicably gives people the illusion of "even if I have time, I won't go home".

The girl named Xiao Ran felt this kind of solemnity, and kept silent the whole time, staring back and forth with her two watery eyes.If she was a reporter, then this trip would be quite expected.

Hu Bing was about to leave, but Papa Hu suddenly shouted hysterically: "It's been ten years, what else do you want? Do you want to sever ties with us?!"

Father Hu has a businessman's smiling face all the year round, and he rarely loses his temper, especially in front of outsiders.Hu Bing was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.The relationship between him and his family is like a life-and-death struggle. Ten years ago, the family united as one and won. However, Hu Bing, who was suppressed, was obviously not convinced by the result from the bottom of his heart. He fought every minute and every second without gunpowder.

I don't know if it was due to the influence of morbid psychology, Hu Bing only heard the word "threatening" from this sentence, so he said decisively: "I really plan to go to him, if you still can't accept it, I don't mind Do this." After speaking, he froze for a moment, how did he say such outrageous words?

It’s rare for Hu Bing to be self-willed. In the past, when faced with this kind of situation, he always kept silent and treated himself as a dumb person. At this time, a sensible person usually adjusts the atmosphere and says: He is still young, and people in their circle get married late. , The child mainly develops his career and the like.

But now no one said such words to adjust the atmosphere that was about to explode, so Hu Bing poured a bucket of oil on his mouth. It seemed that he hadn't made much progress in all these years.

Hu Bing didn't even look at anyone else, and went straight back to the bedroom, dragging his suitcase and planning to return the same way.

No one stopped him, and the girl in her early 20s obviously didn't know how to deal with this situation.Let alone Hu's mother, she has not made up her mind for a long time.So Hu Bing left the house like no one else was there.

In less than half a day, he turned around in the sky, and Hu Bing couldn't help sighing: It's better to have money, if you have this skill, let's make more money, I'm exhausted, I've lived enough anyway!

After he left, Papa Hu realized that there was someone else in the room, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so he said a few perfunctory words before letting her go back first.It's just that the meeting upstairs and downstairs will inevitably be a bit embarrassing, after all, he took the initiative to "propose marriage", and now he agrees with the girl, but the man has staged such a show.

After everyone had left, Madam Hu expressed her attitude in a low voice: "He is very stubborn, and you still fight hard with him."

"It's better to be sensible when I was a child," Hu's father sighed and sat down on the sofa.

Hu's mother wanted to say, if it really doesn't work, let him do it.But she still lacks the last straw in her heart to overwhelm her fifty years of cognition.In fact, the most important thing is cowardice. I have been honest and responsible all my life, and I have never done anything rebellious, and I don’t know how to face the eyes of relatives and neighbors. After all, it is the word "dignity".

The word "dignity" is what Papa Hu values ​​most.

"I really don't know who Bingzi is with," Mother Hu sighed, "There is no one in the family like him."

No one is as promising as he is. He is outstanding and has abandoned civil servants and boarded the TV station.No one is as out of line as he, who would rather die alone than hang out with a man.

It's a pity that this stubbornness followed the Hu family, and the war in the family is probably going to last for a while.
