suboptimal happiness

Guan Chengyi washed up and walked out, first looked at half of the bed, but there was no one there.As expected, he took a deep breath and walked to his room.The man was waiting halfway by the bed, and when he saw him come in, he said, "Turn off the lights."

From the corner of the street lamp outside the window, Guan Chengyi, who was walking towards the bed in the dark, saw Shi Linhao's outstretched hand, and he also extended a hand.Shi Linhao turned Guan Chengzhi inside to sleep on his side, because he got up early for one thing.

The silence of the night made the surroundings so clear, Guan Chengyi didn't feel sleepy, and Shi Linhao's breathing could be heard soberly.

"I, I dare not say anything lightly, or make rash decisions."

"Yes, got it."

"Just like work, I have to be careful. I'm not alone. I love my mother very much. Although she doesn't say anything, I always feel that my father is sorry for my mother. I don't seek success and fame. As long as I live well, I say My own happiness is the most effective repayment to my mother. I have never been so procrastinated, and I dare not tell her the truth about the work unit, let alone this matter. I need time to think about it."

Shi Linhao turned over and faced Guan Chengyi: "Brother understands, I understand everything. You can take as long as you want, you miss you, and don't delay my brother's kindness to you, and don't delay." He whispered in his ear: "It makes you happy."

As soon as he leaned over, Guan Chengzhi knew that he was out of shape, so he laughed, "You're just short of a slap on the forehead. I was really mistaken. At that time, I thought you were an honest peddler who took advantage of the order. I still have the shame of bullying an honest person."

"Whoever says honesty is not lustful, and honest people don't pick, touch, or fuck. I am an honest sex peddler."

"By the way, your house is in the development zone?" Guan Chengyi heard that it was in the food delivery community.

"Ah."

"Empty all the time?"

"Yes."

"The house over there is so expensive, why don't you rent it out, keep thinking about it or raise mosquitoes?" He was not jealous, but felt sorry for not making money.

"I live there sometimes, but it's not very interesting to live alone. I just deliver food and sleep for one night occasionally, one or two days a month. The main thing is to ventilate and release the smell."

"That's far away from your vegetable market, let's not go there, let's rent out the house." The location of the boutique community is better than the one-bedroom, one-living room bought by Guan Chengyi loan, and can generate a lot of income in a month: "How big is the house?"

"Can't rent out."

"Why can't I rent it out? Do you know how nervous the house is over there? What's the layout of the house?"

"If you are willing to rent you out, you are not afraid that others will ruin your hundreds of square meters, so you can rent it out." Shi Linhao hugged Guan Chengyi: "Little money fan, don't think about making money with the bride price that brother gave you." .”

"A few, a hundred, a flat." Guan Chengzhi pointed at Shi Linhao: "Don't tell me, the house is by the lake."

"Yes, don't believe me, brother will take you to see it tomorrow."

Guan Chengyi jumped up, then lay down again: "Fuck, that kid is so wronged, he will hug your legs to get back together if he knows how to cry blind."

"It's better for you to hug your husband's legs. Sleeping, the more you talk, the more excited you get. Big houses in the city are called villas. Every family in our village has two or three-story houses. Who doesn't go to work because the house is big? No matter how big the house is You have to be popular too, laughing at the wall alone?"

"How do you have the brains to buy a house there?" That's impressive.

"Those who were fooled were fooled by people like your bank and bought it in a daze."

"what?"

"The bank where I have been saving money, I got acquainted with the director there, and later got on good terms."

Guan Chengyi knows it all too well. Shi Linhao has a fixed deposit and a steady cash inflow. Of course he is popular in the bank, and the directors naturally want to win him over.

"Li Tianya (director) has studied abroad, and the airborne one is the top of others. He didn't go well when he first took office. It is said that many people wait to see the jokes. Your bank is really similar. After we met, he talked about the difficulties. I mobilized our vegetable market to move his account. Don’t underestimate our small merchants, he said it was a great help, because many vendors not only have stalls in our district, but also divide their families into several districts. Later he sat It’s stable, we’re getting closer, he doesn’t think I’m rude, and I’m willing to have more friends. This villa is their bank responsible for issuing loans, and he knows how much money I have, and his tongue-in-cheek tricks make me dizzy, I bought it on impulse." Shi Linhao didn't say anything, he was in the hot stage of falling in love with the college student in front of him, and wanted to set up a love nest for the two of them.

"This person is good, and I really repay you." Now the lakeside villas are priceless, there are only 40 of them in total, Guan Chengyi heard about it and it was difficult to sell it when it opened, and people who wanted to buy it after 2 years stared blankly. They couldn't buy them anymore, so the pre-sale of villas in the high-tech zone was overwhelmed later, but the rising tide raised all boats, and the new villas in the developer's plan were not as large as the earlier ones.

"Leader, my husband has confessed everything. I'm sleepy. Do you agree to sleep?"

The tired Shi Linhao fell asleep first, but Guan Chengyi's mind was agitated, thinking about this and that question popped up again, and he didn't know when he fell asleep next to Shi Linhao.

As soon as the stock market closed at noon, Guan Chengzhi would run to the market to deliver meals.He suggested to go to see the house by himself in the afternoon, so that he can come back in time to make dinner. If Shi Linhao gets home from get off work at 6:8 and eats, he can go to see it at about [-]:[-].As a result, Shi Linhao vetoed his reasonable proposal, and Guan Chengyi went home angrily.

Shi Linhao really didn't come back until 6:20 in the evening, but he didn't drink today, and he ate quickly. He solved it in [-] minutes, so he pulled up and went out sincerely.

"Where is the car from?"

"Borrowed by Tianya, don't you want to see the house?" Shi Linhao opened the door of the Passat and asked the leader to get in the car.

"Where's your container truck?" It's really strange that Shi Linhao only drives to deliver food, what does the rest of the time do with the car?

"We use it twice a week. One day for me, one day for Dafei, and the remaining five days are rented out, that is, we rent the factory in our warehouse, and they rent a car to take the goods to the port."

It is very convenient to have a car. The security guard at the gate of the community saw Shi Linhao and asked with a smile, "Why are you, brother? I thought it was Brother Li."

"Yes, he drove the car."

"The security guard knows you well?"

"Oh, Tianya also bought it, and we are neighbors. Show me the way."

"What road?"

"The way home." Shi Linhao teased him, and Guan Chengyi also thought of the way he used to guide him, so he quibbled: "Isn't it right for me to go to my friend's house?"

"The leader is always right. Where the leader says, the husband will go. Please give instructions to the leader."

Guan Chengyi laughed and scolded: "Hurry up and open the villa."

"Follow orders." Shi Linhao stepped on the accelerator of happiness and ran towards the villa area.After entering, the car drove extremely slowly, as if picking up someone at night and letting him go as he pleases.From memory, Guan Chengzhi knew that the villa he was referring to had arrived, and the car stopped.Looking at the smirking Shi Linhao, he said stiffly: "Look, you can afford it, but I can't have friends who can afford it. My friend's house lives here."

Shi Linhao stopped teasing him, pulled over the car, turned off the ignition and pulled out the key, scratched his nose by the way, and said seriously, "Although I'm your friend, I want to be your husband more, get out of the car, leader, let's go home and have a look."

Come and sew it to me, how big a prize is this going to be on the head.Guan Chengyi watched as the person went to press the combination door lock, opened the door and waved back, "I want you to come in? Then choose a good day."

"Uncle, there are steps, I'll carry you in." Speaking of respecting the old man, Guan Chengzhi pushed the person aside and rushed in first.After only two steps, he stopped to take off his shoes, and carefully stepped on the woody floor.

"Nobody lives here and doesn't clean it very much. You wear slippers." Shi Linhao opened the cabinet by the door, took two pairs of slippers, and threw a pair to him.

Guan Chengzhi noticed that hers was completely new, and the trademark hadn't been torn off.After putting on the suit, he ran all over the room. In the hall, there were only sofas, coffee tables, LCD TVs, and air conditioners standing in the corner.He rushed to the second floor in one breath, where the kitchen looked as if it hadn't been fired, and there was a single large dining table in the dining room, and even the open wall cabinets were empty.

"Violence." He expressed his indignation.

"We will fill it up in the future, and when people come in, the house will naturally look like it."

The study room and bedrooms were all empty, and one of the three bedrooms on the third floor was well furnished. Guan Chengzhi walked in and touched the head of the bed: "The bed is not cheap, is it?"

"Well. It's okay."

"In fact, just change the mattress. If there is a day (to sleep on), just change the mattress."

There is a large open-air balcony on the opposite side, and there are two rattan chairs and a small rattan table in the half-built glass room.

Guan Chengyi stood on the high platform, the refreshing wind blowing his clothes, driving away the heat on a midsummer night, feeling refreshed.Shi Linhao accompanied silently, watching the lights of thousands of families shining in the distance.

"Actually, if you didn't have a sexual orientation, you must be very popular. You are a successful man who can support a family and take on the responsibility of supporting a family."

Shi Linhao smiled faintly: "My greatest success is finding you." He hugged Guan Chengyi from behind, not letting him turn his head: "Brother knows that I'm your first man, and I'm not as clean as you, so I want to give you a piece of paper." A clean bed, in that old nest, I insisted not to let you sleep there, because I only let you sleep on the bed with my traces on it."

Guan Chengyi's hand hesitated, and finally he raised it and put it on the hands that were embracing him.Immediately he was turned around, as if the fading light was reflected in Shi Linhao's eyes, bright, trying to suppress his voice: "Brother loves you."

The neon lights of the city dimmed the stars, but they couldn't stop the moon from rising.In a corner illuminated by the white moonlight, the two hearts touched by a sentence gradually approached, and finally they were frozen into a beautiful silhouette of a deep kiss.

After that night, Shi Linhao didn't force Guan Chengyi to confirm his identity, but the next day he walked the bird to bed, and the two hit the plane tacitly. Guan Chengyi also took the initiative to learn to serve others.

Sister-in-law’s younger brother Chunsheng came back, and Shi Linhao was going to set off to pull peaches across the province at noon the next day. He didn’t want to take Guan Cheng with him. The road was hard, and they all drove there alone. Switching on and off is just a nap, and those who dare not sleep to death and drive are also sleepy.But Guan Chengyi wants to go, Shi Linhao has too many facets for him, and he needs to dig further to understand.

After driving for more than 8 hours, apart from going to the toilet, he bought fast food at a rest stop. Shi Linhao brought Guan Chengyi ham sausage, water, and Wangwang cakes, fearing that he would dislike the bad-tasting fast food.After setting off, Shi Linhao notified Taoyuan to confirm his arrival tonight. At this time, the fruit growers began to pick their shares and put them into baskets.

They went to a total of 9 trucks. Originally, Chunsheng and Shi Linhao were in the same car, but during the day, Shi Linhao drove, so Chunsheng was asked to go to someone else's car.Guan Chengxin looked at the team and asked how many peaches to buy?

"It can hold 2 catties." ①

"You bought it all?"

"Ah."

"You didn't ask me for money."

"The food money from Da Fei's side is here." Shi Linhao shook a bank card from his pocket.

Forget that this guy hid an income, so it's useless to worry about it.

Guan Chengyi has never been in a long-distance truck before, and has a wide field of vision, and he is looking forward to going all the way north to provinces he has never been to and doing things he has never done before.

They arrived at 7 o'clock in the evening, and they went into the city to unload the car. It turned out that they didn't come with an empty car.Afterwards, I went to the orchard in the suburbs. What surprised Guan Chengyi the most was that the orchard was noisy and brightly lit. There were a lot of cars. situation.Others are busy with serious business, sincerity has no mission, and since it is the first time I see everything new, Shi Linhao only told him not to wander around, and it is not allowed to leave the order in the crowd.

As far as he could go, Guan Chengzhi went back to find Shi Linhao's convoy. The two young men in each car were really not for nothing, they were full of energy, and they loaded the car in less than 2 hours.Shi Linhao was joking and chatting with an old man. When Chunsheng took the paper and passed it over, he didn't know who to call with his mobile phone. He told the other party to transfer money from the old account, and he reported the number and ended the call.Within a few minutes, the old man next to him, the head of the orchard, is said to be the village chief's cell phone rang, and it was confirmed that the money had arrived. The old man was relieved, patted Shi Linhao, and told him to pay attention to driving at night.

When Chunsheng came back to drive, Shi Linhao was in the co-driver, Guan Chengyi was in the back row, and the convoy drove slowly out of the orchard. After leaving the village, they were blocked only 500 meters away. The car in front did not move, and they could not get out.

"It seems to be surrounded in front, so I can't see clearly." Chunsheng rolled down the car window, stretched his head to look, and then rolled it up: "Brother Hao, what should we do?"

"and many more."

Ten minutes later, the car was still unable to move an inch. Guan Chengyi thought that too many cars were blocking Taozi, and wanted to get off at the station and wait, because the windows were closed and it was boring.

"I'll go down and stand."

"no!"

Guan Chengyi was surprised by his attitude, but because other people were there, he didn't speak.

Chunsheng felt that Guan Chengyi was younger than them, and he might get angry if he didn't make it clear, so he turned his head and explained: "It's not safe down there, brother Hao is worried."

"Not safe?" Guan Chengyi was taken aback.

"It's okay. If you're tired, lie down for a while, and then you can leave. Chunsheng, open the window."

How could Guan Chengyi have no heart to rest.After a while, there was also a convoy coming up from behind, honking their horns regardless, tearing the harshness of the air.Then, Guan Chengyi also heard the commotion of the crowd, and the windows were rolled up and closed tightly. Shi Linhao asked Guan Chengyi to pull a bag under the seat for him. The latter inexplicably dragged a long canvas bag and handed it to the front row, dumbfounded. They each took out a handful A long knife that I only saw at a watermelon stand.

"This is for you. If the two of us want to go down later, use it for self-defense." Shi Linhao pulled out the steel pipe and gave it to Guan Chengyi: "Don't be afraid, I'm down here, just for self-defense."

"What are you going to do?" Guan Chengyi was startled.

"Road Hog, you want to buy road money."

Guan Chengyi saw through the headlights a group of people walking towards them, he became nervous, but Shi Linhao heaved a sigh of relief.He took out an envelope from his pocket, and when the group reached their car, Chunsheng briefly honked the horn and rolled the window.The leader looked carefully, and Shi Linhao spoke first: "Brother Liang, I'm busy."

Seeing Shi Linhao, the man hurriedly smiled and walked to his side, and Shi Linhao also went out of the window.

"Brother Hao is here, and loaded up a few cars. This year's new year, Taozi is good, Brother Hao hurry up and go a few more times."

"Car 9," pointing to the convoy behind him, handing out the envelope: "Brother Liang, it's a little fun, it's hot to buy water for the brothers."

"Hey, thank you Brother Hao." Turning to point to a younger brother: "Go and find a way out."

Guan Chengyi has already left the city, and he still hasn't recovered from the shock. Did he just watch a blockbuster gangster movie?

Shi Linhao asked Chunsheng to stop and he got into the back row.

"Hey, what are you thinking? Don't be scared if you're scared. Brother is here." He didn't shy away from it, and reached out to hug him.

"Are you on the road?"

Chunsheng didn't tense up, and laughed out loud.

"Dreaming, you are afraid that the anti-pornography and gangsters won't let me in. I have neither power nor riches, do you look like a gangster? It's okay to be a horse boy looking for death."

"Just now?"

"After traveling every year, these old road tyrants are familiar with each other. Leaving the money to buy each other's face is just a matter of asking for money, and it is not worth using force."

Seeing that Guan Chengyi's soul had returned to its place, Shi Linhao packed up the weapons, pressed them firmly back to the bottom of the seat, and pushed them deep.

Guan Chengyi burst out laughing, leaning forward and back together to relieve the tension. He recalled the conversation between Shi Linhao and the boss. The two had a serious tone like a gangster brother, which made it even more funny.

"You guys can really pretend, you can learn from watching Hong Kong movies."

Shi Linhao stayed with Guan Chengyi for an hour before returning to the co-pilot.Feeling sorry for him driving for more than 8 hours during the day, Guan Chengzhi insisted that he lie down and sleep in the back row.

"I know I have to talk to the driver, I'll talk to Brother Gao. I'm not sleepy."

At first, the three of them were still talking, but after Shi Linhao dozed off, Guan Chengzhi looked at him with his eyes closed, and his voice lowered slightly.

"Aren't those road bullies in charge? The village head didn't help with the fruit we bought from the orchard in the village? If so, if everyone doesn't buy it, and the fruit can't be sold, who will lose the most?"

"Is the village head who can be a road tyrant willing to mess with it? Not to mention the village head, even if you call 110, you can't solve it. Look at those people who are blocking the traffic, are they all hooligans? There are many people in the fruit village."

"what!"

"It's a good thing to have them. They can control the situation to avoid serious consequences. The villagers are no better than hooligans. It's just that they have more courage and can extort some money. If they play tricks, every farmer will be bullied and don't say anything. Who dares to fight for real? Look at how easy it is for us to come out today, this is the way Brother Hao fought, "

Guan Chengyi took a deep breath.

"We came here for the first time a few years ago. The price couldn't be negotiated, and we couldn't get out. You know that peaches are delicate. After covering them for a day and night, they started to rot. In the end, all the rotten peaches were dumped, and we went out empty. Brother Hao Take us to buy guys. We are not familiar with the place where we live, and it is not easy to buy knives. In the end, we stole it from a watermelon stand, and everyone else bought shovels. Brother Hao told us to defend ourselves with shovels, not to attack, and he himself Got the knife."

When Chunsheng talked about the past, he was still mixed with sadness and admiration: "Brother Hao took us back and packed peaches, and met them (Road Hog) again. At that time, we had fewer cars and more people, and almost 20 people got out of the car. , stand together. Brother Hao said, let’s come out to beg for a bite of food. Just like you, we are rural people who rely on the land for food. , use your blood in exchange. I will open the way now, my brothers are only defending, and those who want to greet come to me, as long as they stand in front of me, I will not be soft when I meet gods and kill gods! Brothers will definitely save their lives today Send the car out!"

"They're scared, aren't they?"

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first. Brother Hao really cut down, and people ran screaming. You don't know Brother Hao's aura that day. If the villagers ran away, there would be insufficient manpower for hooligans to jam traffic, so they hurried to negotiate with Brother Hao. From then on we Year after year, I have been given an envelope to cross the border safely. Brother Hao also kept his promise, and never said how much is in the envelope. "

Guan Chengyi forgot to chat with Chunsheng.Seeing with the eyes, hearing with the ears, feeling with the heart, how can the person who is clearly a grass root but grows into a big tree be able to keep his heart from being moved?

When Guan Chengyi looked back at Shi Linhao again, the man was smiling at him, and Guan Chengyi's eyes were full of unrestrained warmth: "Sleep again."

"come over."

Hearing this, Chunsheng stopped by the side of the road understandingly, and Guan Chengyi shifted his position.

Shi Linhao gave him a warm hug, but Guan Chengyi only put his arm on his back, smacked forward, and whispered, "Be careful."

"There are blind spots in the rearview mirror, I can't see them." It was obvious that Guan Chengyi was kind to Brother Hao, and Chunsheng didn't seem to be joking outside.Many long-distance drivers, in fact, drive all the way, get dirty all the way, and naturally dare to say anything.

The conditions were tough, so Shi Linhao wanted to sleep as long as he could with a pillow on his lap.Fearing that Chunsheng would be stuck alone, they kept communicating.

"...Is this okay? Will it take a long time to dislike our countryside and have no education?"

"Okay, he's the same as Tian Ya, he loves money, he loves to do business and calculate but he's not greedy, and he doesn't care about his academic qualifications." He couldn't help caressing Shang Guan's sincerity, and the first time he invited himself into the room came to mind, "He knew me as a young man." The vegetable market hawker, the little guy invited me home for dinner. Hey, when I saw the painting on his wall, I could understand it without knowing it. This is a person who lives a down-to-earth life. We are also busy every day, but we don't have the joy of earning money. You have never seen that this little guy is full of energy every day, and he is loved."

Can't help but hug Guan Chengyi and kiss him, facing the disturbed sleepy person: "Sleep, it's okay, brother go ahead."

"Brother Hao, you really treasure him."

"Well, it was a treasure in the first place. Let's pick it up by force, so it's good for him." Shi Linhao lit a cigarette and gave it to Chunsheng: "Your sister and brother-in-law didn't like it, saying that there was a big gap between us and us in all aspects. The child is a little bit, and he has been hurt again." It's hard for me to get it, but according to your brother-in-law, he is mature. You said that when the child grows to thirty, can we take it? He is either a human being or a scum who came out to hang out. I am not a garbage collector. "

"My sister means that he is out of tune with the vegetable market, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to sell vegetables, and he cannot be kept at home all the time?"

"The child was not going well for a while, and now he needs to rest and adjust for a while. After he rests, we don't have to worry about it. If you don't believe me, just watch. The child will jump up and plan by himself. I don't stick to him. Men always want to I have a legitimate job to do. I can afford him, and I don’t care if he sells vegetables, but these should not be his choice. I don’t have any good ideas about which path to choose. He decided that I just want him to have no worries.”

"Is he an only child too?"

"Well, still a single parent."

"How difficult it will be in the future."

"How many of them are not the only ones at this age."

"It's not that he can't find a woman, and the family desperately wants to find a wife. Everyone in your circle knows it, so it's not easy to find."

"Hum..." Shi Linhao frowned: "It's because it's a circle that I can play freely. It's messy. If you can't clean it up there, don't say it. It's really not wronged to be scolded by the public. If it weren't for your sister's family to follow the ass I scolded later, maybe I was still playing cheap guns there, and I felt that I was taking advantage. Once I accidentally counted the expenses of a person, fuck, let him make a lot of excuses. People who walk this narrow road , In fact, the more you should live like a human being, a bunch of unlearned and incompetent people mix together, use this excuse to not do business properly, and make a mess. Who the hell has the time to pick up other people's pants to test the toughness of men and women, people look down on it It's not that you JB is hard on anyone, it's that you look down on you for doing nothing in society and being a waste.

When I was stimulated, I even had low self-esteem and let others cheat me to compare. Who made us not good enough.I just thought about it later, what is class, life is real, if we don’t waste our life, it is class; if you study a fucking book and get a Ph. D., it’s no class to make broken shoes every day, and the fart is not up to the class.I just like that this kid is serious about his life, he won't turn back easily if he takes it seriously, and if he doesn't look back, the family can always discuss it. "

The author has something to say: ①I forgot how much I pretended, because this story was planned to be written a few years ago, and the chat with the fruit and vegetable farmers was also a few years ago, and some of them were unclear or confused.
