The author has something to say: Good morning~

The living room, dining room, master bedroom, second bedroom, and bathroom are decorated in light beige and light green colors, making them look fresh and cool even in the heat.

"Brother, don't look at the size of our house, but the kitchen is designed in a concave shape. In the future, you will have family gatherings and cooking together will not feel too crowded." On weekends, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and formal pants Deng Ran, a salesperson in the building, took Ouyang Wensi to visit the model room in Yiwei.

This is a two-bedroom set of 92 square meters. The living room and the master bedroom both face south, and the kitchen and bathroom are all fully visible. Because it was built before the new regulations on architectural design standards were issued a few years ago, a gift of about 7 square meters is also given. The semi-outdoor balcony can be decorated into a small study.Since there are only about 30 houses left, the price of such houses is two-thirds of that of similar projects in the surrounding area in order to get the money back quickly.

Because the listings in late trading were not advertised, not many customers knew about them.Most of these viewers are recommended by old customers or partners.For example, the customer surnamed Ouyang in front of me, according to the sales director, was recommended by Mr. Song from Hengli, and told him to treat him well.

However, Deng Ran felt that this client couldn't see the slightest bit of excitement in the face of such a cost-effective housing source.

Based on his professional experience, Deng Ran judged that it might be difficult for this client to make a deal in this project.Because in his eyes, there is no enthusiasm for houses.And it's not a plan to bargain and pretend to be calm.

Deng Ran guessed right.

If it weren't for Song Tianhao's repeated urging, Ouyang would not have come to see the house at this juncture.But since Song Tianhao had agreed to it before, Ouyang had to deal with the errand first.

But in this model room, looking at every prop that symbolizes home in front of him, and imagining that he might live in this room with Jiang Xiaofan or someone else in the future, he feels like sitting on pins and needles.

When Deng Ran explained to him how to make better use of the space in future renovations, Ouyang felt that he could not stay in this place for even a second longer.

"If it's convenient for you, please leave me a business card. I'll contact you after I think about it." After listening to Deng Ran's introduction, Ouyang raised his arms and looked at his watch. It was almost noon, and he couldn't wait for the salesperson to help him calculate the down payment and The amount of the loan, he said goodbye politely.

Deng Ran, who stayed behind at the end of the day, heard this, and his heart was colder than the air-conditioning in the sales office.Bite the bullet and send Ouyang to the door of the sales office, and tell Ouyang not to be polite if you have any questions, and you can consult him at any time.After saying this, he murmured in his heart.

The temperature outside is scary.Coming out of the sales office, before walking 500 meters, Ouyang felt that his forehead and back began to sweat, and he felt very unhappy.

Today, when the old lady of the Zheng family came back from Qingyang, Ouyang called in the morning and made an appointment to visit at noon.Thinking that Zheng Yuan would definitely be there, Ouyang only felt embarrassed.

Just yesterday, he didn't expect that when he was lonely, he still wanted Zheng Yuan's comfort, but he didn't consider Zheng Yuan's feelings and position at all.

Ouyang took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Yuan, wanting to ask if he was at grandma's house at noon, but no one answered.

Because of what happened yesterday?Ouyang thought of Zheng Yuan's mind full of worries when he left the hotel yesterday, but he couldn't figure out why Zheng Yuan hesitated to speak.

Ouyang couldn't get rid of the connection with Zheng Yuan no matter what.But how to deal with his relationship with Zheng Yuan in the future, he used to be full of confidence, but now he is uncertain and dare not make any decisions.Yesterday, it was not easy for Zheng Yuan to just "coerce and lure" Zheng Yuan to say a little bit of what was in his heart.If you still want to ask for something more, there is no guarantee that Zheng Yuan will not run away.

Ouyang walked into the small courtyard of the old lady of the Zheng family's house, and the courtyard was completely silent.

Zheng Yuan's bicycle was parked against the kitchen wall, but he was nowhere to be seen.

On the table under the corridor of the main house, there is a plate of fresh red bayberries in season.That's Ouyang Xia's favorite food.

The door of the main room was open, but there was no movement.

Ouyang quietly walked to the door and called out: "Grandma?"

There was no answer, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Ouyang hurriedly opened the bamboo curtain and walked into the house.

Fortunately, the old lady of the Zheng family just sat at the table and whispered on the phone.Seeing Ouyang coming in, she beckoned him to sit down on the sofa.

The old lady of the Zheng family simply answered the phone a few times before hanging up.Turning around, he smiled lovingly and said to Ouyang: "Is it hot outside?"

Ouyang nodded and replied: "It's okay, but grandma's house is the coolest."

The old lady of the Zheng family returned the red bayberry from the bottom of the corridor with a smile, handed it to Ouyang, and said, "To quench your thirst, Zheng Yuan knew you were coming today, so he ran to buy it early in the morning."

Ouyang took the plate, took two red bayberries from it, put the plate on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and asked cautiously: "Is he going to interview now?"

The old lady of the Zheng family opened her mouth slightly, then shook her head. She swayed her cattail fan quickly, and said with a frown, "Tuantuan... is cousin Zheng Yuan's daughter, who was hospitalized with acute appendicitis. You said, the child was crying all day yesterday. It hurts, I thought it was a bad stomach, and I couldn’t stand it until this morning and went to the Children’s Hospital for an examination...It was said that if I went later, there might be a perforation. Zheng Yuan went to bed with him.”

"Where are her parents?"

The old lady of the Zheng family continued: "Her father is on a business trip, and her mother works overtime. My sister-in-law, alas... Ma Daha..."

After hearing this, Ouyang nodded and sighed, "It's really not easy to raise a child now. I'll visit you later."

The old lady of the Zheng family waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Mother Tuantuan will go after finishing overtime in the afternoon. Tell them to be alert too."

Ouyang didn't say any more, but changed the subject and said, "How is grandma going back to Qingyang this time?"

The old lady of the Zheng family shook her palm-leaf fan, pondered for a while, and said, "The changes are so great that many places and many people can't recognize them."

"Well. The chemical instrument factory was also demolished before the Chinese New Year last year."

"No, high-rise buildings are being built now. It is said that they are commercial houses, and each of them looks to have more than 30 floors..." The old lady of the Zheng family recalled with a smile, while carefully looking at Ouyang, "Wen Si, how is the marriage? When I got home this time, your aunt still asked, but she said she didn’t discuss it with them.”

Ouyang remained silent, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe I will disappoint you, grandma."

The old lady of the Zheng family nodded slightly, and said persuasively: "I'm old, so I don't understand what happened between you. However, it's better to get married sooner rather than later, right?"

Ouyang was a little surprised.The old lady of the Zheng family belongs to the type of elders who are the elders of the family. She is always worried about what happens in the family.I thought that she would get to the bottom of the matter between him and Jiang Xiaofan and give a lot of suggestions.

"Grandma, you are right. This kind of thing...can't be rushed."

Seeing Ouyang's relieved expression, the old lady of the Zheng family felt more worried.She put down the cattail fan, got up and went to the side of the TV cabinet to get four stacks of gift boxes.

"I brought it back from Qingyang, this one is for you."

Ouyang picked it up in his hand and saw that it was Qingyang's special snack. The first box above his head was "Old Candy" packed in a golden paper box.

This "old sugar" is made from barley malt mixed with white sesame.The yellow square candy is crispy and easy to melt, without the sweetness of brown sugar, but it has a burnt aroma in the mouth.

"When you were young, you liked to eat this old candy. Do you remember? Once when I was cleaning the house, I found 6 or 7 pieces of old candy wrapped in newspapers from under Zheng Yuan's bed. When I asked him where it came from, he stubbornly refused to tell. Later, his dad forced him to say it, and he said, he exchanged it with the old newspapers his dad had read."

The old lady of the Zheng family recalled what happened more than ten years ago, and it was the first time Ouyang heard of it.

"His father likes to save newspapers, and he keeps the reports he thinks are good, but Zheng Yuan sells them all. His father was so angry that he asked Zheng Yuan why he didn't like candy and bought so much. He I was wronged and refused to talk about it. Later, I secretly told me that I bought it for you to eat." The old lady of the Zheng family smiled even more happily when she said this, "Actually, he told me that you love old sugar, so I will buy it for you. Yes. He was awkward when he was young."

Ouyang listened and smiled, his eyes were sore for some reason.

"Zheng Yuan loves to be brave. He is afraid that others will see his shortcomings, and he will be surrounded and controlled. But if you really want him to do things according to his original intention, you have to force him. Take this candy as an example, you give him 10 Let him choose the pattern, and he may not be able to choose it. Maybe the last person will be alone to eat melon seeds." What the old lady of the Zheng family said was neither serious nor serious, but Ouyang was not sure that he could hear the deep meaning.

"Grandma, it's good for him to be like this, so that he won't feel wronged."

"I hope so. People nowadays live their lives behind closed doors. Zheng Yuan, I don't expect him to marry and have children honestly. In the future, you may be the only one who can think about Zheng Yuan. "

The old lady of the Zheng family shook her head thoughtfully, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I've been busy talking to you, and we'll have dinner at noon. I'll do whatever you want."

Ouyang hurriedly put the special products aside, got up and said, "I can do anything. Don't bother me, grandma."

"Just say what you want to eat, you, don't always wrong yourself." The old lady of the Zheng family put down the fan in her hand, stood up and said this to Ouyang.She turned her head to look at Ouyang, her eyes were full of kindness, but she never said more.

I don't know what happened to the old lady of the Zheng family when she returned to Qingyang this time, but she must also have a lot of feelings when the older generation moved away, passed away, and revisited the old place.

Ouyang accompanied the old lady of Zheng's family to cook and eat, and chatted with Qingyang's acquaintance's parents on the way.Until almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Yuan called the landline at home to report to his mother: Tuantuan does not need surgery, but he will be hospitalized for a week.Tuantuan's mother has to work overtime at night, so he has to take care of him in the hospital, so he doesn't have to wait for dinner.

Ouyang answered the call.Zheng Yuan paused on the phone, and then began a series of reports.

"Okay, I'll tell grandma." Ouyang replied after listening.

Zheng Yuan didn't hang up the phone, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Before... I heard from Song Tianhao that you went to see the house today?"

"I went in the morning."

"How about it?"

"to be frank?"

"nonsense."

"Honestly, it's pretty good."

Zheng Yuan's side was silent, and Ouyang didn't urge him.There was a child crying on the other end of the phone.After a while, Zheng Yuan said: "I think you can think about it again, don't be so eager to buy."

"I won't buy it." Hearing Zheng Yuan's words, Ouyang said decisively in a low voice.

"Don't buy it?" Zheng Yuan's voice sounded a little more hesitant on the phone.

"The money has been returned to you, what do you think? Let me talk to you when I find a chance. I have an appointment with Jiang Xiaofan tonight." Ouyang explained.

After Zheng Yuan heard this, he didn't say any more, and hung up the phone after answering.

Ouyang went to the small courtyard and reported Zheng Yuan's "itinerary" to the old lady of the Zheng family.

The old lady of the Zheng family is watering the impatiens in the yard.The branch stamens, which were wilted by the midday sun, quickly absorbed the water and straightened their waists.The pink-white and light-pink impatiens look particularly refreshing in summer, and they are planted in old enamel washbasins and placed in the courtyard, which is not against the harmony.

This small courtyard has hardly changed in the past ten years.In recent years, high-rise buildings have been built around the bungalow area, and the briars beside the gate building of the compound are also climbing higher and higher along the brick wall, blooming vigorously in the high temperature of summer.

Next to the kitchen in the small courtyard, there are some decorative boards.Only then did Ouyang remember that Zheng Yuan had said before that he wanted to redecorate the kitchen.Ouyang saw the layout of the model room before his eyes, and realized for the first time that for him, the place called home would lose any meaning without Zheng Yuan's place.

In the past, Ouyang felt that the picture formed by every plant and tree here was perfect.Indeed, there are also many nostalgic photographers and crews who come here to take pictures.Now, Ouyang gradually realizes that the perfection in his eyes is only because he can always wait for someone here.This man had expected and escaped.But no matter whether he wants to stay or go now, Ouyang will never choose to give up.

Looking at the aging figure of the old lady of the Zheng family, Ouyang felt grateful and guilty.But even if he avoids his feelings for Zheng Yuan, this guilt will always haunt him.

"Grandma, I can't have dinner with you." Thinking of this, Ouyang packed up his things and said goodbye to the old lady of the Zheng family.

The old lady of the Zheng family put the watering can back under the eaves, and said with some reluctance: "Let's go after dinner, Zheng Yuan won't come back at night."

Ouyang shook his head, comforted the old lady of the Zheng family, and said: "I will come to honor you again some other day. There are some things today, so I can't sort them out."

The old lady of the Zheng family lowered her face, but she actually smiled, and said, "You child, you still love to be neat and tidy. I'm usually so busy with work, so I won't keep you. Another day Zheng Yuan will be here, and the three of us have a good meal together." meal."

Ouyang agreed and left the gate of the compound.

Go back to the hotel to arrange the special products in your hand, and then go to see Jiang Xiaofan?Ouyang was thinking about the itinerary for the evening, but there was a place he had to go.
