all things

The man was facing inward, with his butt pouted and stuck outside the fence of the family downstairs. He hung a red hoodie in front of the green perennial ivy, and his eyes were as sharp as a king's flower.

Yu Jinle stood behind and watched for a long time, but he didn't notice. He almost wanted to kick him when he walked over, "Hey!"

I want to hear the sound and turn around.

"What are you doing?"

Probably because he had been squatting for a long time, he had to press his knees for support when he wanted to get up, "I didn't find Xiaobai, I only saw this silly cat, and I played with it for a while."

When he got up, an orange shadow slipped back through the narrow gap between the railing and the green vines. It was the big orange cat raised by the neighbor and the only domestic cat member in the "Little White Army". Compared with the group of stray cats entrenched here, it is too fat, and it is often disgusted.

Only then did Yu Jinle notice that he was still carrying a vest bag in his hand.

While thinking about shaking the things in his hand, he pointed to the corner where the little white cat's nest was originally placed and said, "I didn't find the little white cat's house, and I wanted to ask it, but you came here."

Yu Jinle's eyebrows twitched at the showy operation of finding a cat and asking about a cat.

He scanned back, forth, left, and right again, and turned around in a circle, "Did you move it because it was too cold during the cold wave a while ago?"

Yu Jinle didn't move.

He said again, "Let's go, look for it, I haven't seen it for so long, I must want to kill it and miss my father and me!"

Yu Jinle still didn't move, and let him talk to himself, with a very complicated look on his face.

"Huh?" He stretched, his muscles and bones were stretched comfortably and refreshed, that is to say, he was puzzled when he didn't get a response for a long time, but when he looked back, he realized that Yu Jinle's expression was wrong.

"What?" he said seriously.

"Xiaobai..." Yu Jinle hesitated to speak.

"?" Wanting to look at him, he looked around again, and then he noticed something unusual—there was no stray cat in the parking lot!

He went to waste recycling a few times in the afternoon. The environment in the village in the city is not much better than that in the old city. The gray trails are surrounded by rows of handshake buildings. The small earthen houses in the waste station were surrounded by local residents themselves. It was built on the ground, and the tons of waste bins and papers are so full that they almost block the doors and windows. When you walk in, it's like entering a time tunnel and going back to the era when supplies were scarce. There was a musty, sour smell.

There are a lot of things, he drove the big black shark back and forth several times, the physical work is fine, he can bear it, but it is too much for the scrapyard uncle to be short of catties!

I fought with my uncle for a long time because of the waste cardboard boxes that cost a few cents a catty and the scale that was short of a catty. Regardless of how many things there are, in fact, there is not much money at all after they are sold out, which is not worth the previous wave of his hand Pulling a few people out to have a snack, thinking that it is exhausting, that is not a job for people.

After finishing the pile, I remembered that I found a few packages of unopened cat food.

After sending it over, I couldn't find Xiaobai after walking around for a long time, so I thought about calling someone out to ask, and then I ran into it.

When Yu Jinle said "Xiaobai is gone", he thought that he could cry in a second.

"Hey!" He approached at a loss, really afraid that Yu Jinle would not be able to stop, "No, you should stop crying—what's the matter if it's gone?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand as if wiping his eyes, but Yu Jinle blocked him away. The suspicious redness at the corners of her eyes was not a prelude to crying, but more like embarrassment.

He took half a step back, scratched the corners of his eyes with his knuckles, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Xiaobai is gone, I don't know why, I searched all over the place, my mother said it was cold, so someone probably took her away... "

Even if they didn't bring it home, they took care of it with great care. They said it was unique, but because no one was attached to them, they were attached to them. Now that they lost it, he felt that he didn't like it.

I was surprised.

He was shocked to hear that Xiaobai was lost, but he couldn't be more shocked than Yu Jinle's emotions flooding his surface at that moment!

The deep melancholy and self-reproach on his face was as if he had lost the child they raised together...

Irresponsible brain supplement made myself into a Teletubbies with "antenna beeping low", thinking to quickly say: "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, if you lose it, you lose it, let's raise another——"

The more I hear this, the more wrong it becomes——

"Okay, it's gone if it's gone, and you didn't throw it on purpose." He coughed twice, and forcibly changed the subject, "—Go to school in the afternoon? Have a task?"

This topic was inserted too bluntly, and Yu Jinle was feeling uncomfortable, so he didn't answer.

Thinking of nothing, he had no choice but to say a few words of comfort.

"I don't want to think about Xiaobai's matter." He was afraid that the atmosphere would go down again, "Our cat's son, Ji Mao, has his own destiny, maybe he was adopted by some family."

Yu Jinle: "..." Son, you idiot!

How dare this person despise him for not being able to comfort others?Counting on his technology is not as easy as thinking about it.

Yu Jinle was so sad that he destroyed everything, and scratched him at the corner of his red eye. This serious glance seemed to be covered with flammable agent, and he thought about it. He flinched back.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yu Jinle said.

"Nope."

"Come to my house to eat?"

"No." While thinking about shaking the things in his hand, "Next time, I have to go back."

At the end of last semester, Sister Chun and Shen Yunjia came to Yu's house for questioning. Because of Yu's mother's style of being an old hen protecting her cubs, it would be strange if she wasn't frightened. Thinking about it, I can imagine what will happen to Yu's family after Sister Chun and the others leave.

Yu Jinle pursed her lips in silence, and finally said nothing.

They knocked on the door of the owner of the orange cat, and after sending out the bags of unused cat food, they thought they had to go back. Yu Jinle thought about the gate of the community while sending him away, watching him step on the big black shark.

While thinking about kicking the ground with one foot, he held the handle of the front of the car with one hand.

"Go back." The sky was getting dark, and the rows of shops on both sides of the road were lit up one after another. The bright neon colors in his eyes were colorful, just like the mirror image of a kaleidoscope with flying flowers and colors. As for Yu Jinle's head, a few locks of dull hair were raised up, waving his hands and tails in the wind.

The place where they stood was only the street lamp on the top of the tree that sprinkled a little bit of ambiguous light through the shadow of the tree. While thinking about it, the other hand hanging by the side twitched nervously a few times, but they couldn't notice it.

In the restless youth, who has not experienced the lingering thoughts?It is nothing more than the illusion of pain and happiness that dobutone has on the effect of some kind of desire.

Thinking that he was no longer the romantic second-generation young master whose sweetheart could run several blocks away in the middle of the night to coax others in order to show his sincerity.

Under heavy pressure, he learned to look around without a teacher, and spontaneously developed concerns in the blind groping.

In the end, the hand still didn't reach out.

When the big black shark set off with a "huh", and merged into the busy traffic buried on the road at a speed of less than forty yards per hour, Yu Jinle could still vaguely make out the figure in the red hoodie. After a while, it quickly disappeared.

Coincidentally, Sister Chun just heard the news that the two mothers and sons of the Bian family were looking for a rented house, and when she turned around, she heard Mother Yu talking about the old Aunt Wei's house in the next building.

"Several children have gone abroad a few years ago, and her husband has been away for several years. She is left here alone. She fell in the middle of last year and was hospitalized for a few months. The child was worried to death, let alone take care of her. It takes more than ten hours to fly back, and now I have to take the old man out and put it next to me for offerings, and everything is almost done, that is the house, it’s not good to leave it empty, I plan to rent it out.”

The piece of commercial housing where Yu Jinle’s shop is located is across a lane from a small local fishing village called Qimu. It was planned to be included in the urban area more than ten years ago. In recent years, the reclamation project has been advancing eastward, and the villagers have left. My job is in the fishing industry, and I built a lot of houses in the villages in the downtown area, and I make a living by collecting rent.

The small third floor of Aunt Wei’s single-family building is along the street, side by side with Yu’s store. The advantage is that it is located on the outskirts of the village in the city, so you don’t have to go into the damp and dark alleys. The disadvantage is that the environment facing the street is noisy and comfortable to live in. limited.

And for the owner's family, the rent is secondary, mainly because they want someone to live in and keep the smell of smoke.

"The whole building has to be rented together?" Yu Jinle walked to the door of the store and looked up and down the small building next door with his hands in his arms. The door of the small building was directly opposite the side door of his store.

The house is more than ten years old. The appearance is half-new and not old. The layout is a typical single-door building. The anti-theft door enters, the lighting is not good and it is damp, so there are no people on the first floor, which is used to park motorcycles. The second and third floors It was only after the room was allocated that people could live in it.

"There are two small rooms on the second floor, and a large three-bedroom apartment on the third floor. It's not even possible to rent them all. Why do you ask this?" Mother Yu asked suspiciously.

Yu Jinle walked back to the store slowly. Yu Jinan had just finished his homework when a gust of wind brushed past him and ran out.

"No reason, just ask." Yu Jinle took out the homework book from Yu Jinan's small schoolbag, pointed to the empty seat in front, and Yu Jinan sat down obediently.

Mother Yu couldn't stop talking when she opened up, and said, "Auntie Wei asked the neighbors to ask, she will leave next month, and now I can communicate with her when I come to rent a house, and I can sign the contract directly with her as the landlord. It can save a pen for the agency fee, otherwise, if there is anything in the future, I have to go to the Pacific Ocean through her sweet potato vine relatives, and I will be in trouble!"

He buried his head in silence, circled the wrong questions with a pencil, and then stared at Yu Jinan with an eraser to erase the wrong questions one by one and rewrite them.

The little cub ran out with all his heart, couldn't calm down, it was wrong to change it once, Yu Jinle poked his face with a tiger, Yu Jinan was short-handed and short-footed, he couldn't run or beat his brother, so he had to deflate He swallowed the humiliation and changed his homework.

Yu Jinle propped his chin with a capitalized indifference, but the phone in his pocket was hot from being squeezed.

Three days later, he came to the store to help and met Shen Yunjia at the door who had just signed the rental contract.
