Tear

The winter in Guiyang is cold and humid, the temperature will not be very low, but it is frozen to the bone marrow, so many northerners will often be damaged by freezing in Guiyang in winter. There is no heating indoors, and people with good conditions use air conditioners, but most of them Electric heaters and coal-fired iron stoves are used for heating.There is little sunshine in Guiyang in winter, most of the time it is drizzle, the sky is dark, and there is rarely strong wind, it is so silently cold to the depths of the bones.

Lin Xu wrapped himself in the down jacket and walked in a hurry. He passed by the vegetable market and bought sauerkraut for one yuan and beans and rice for one yuan. He stretched out his frozen fingers to hook the plastic bag, and walked towards the old building.

This is a place called Yutianba. It is just behind the train station. It is an old residential area with old buildings and bungalows intertwined. The road is very narrow. Only one No. 61 bus passes by. Most of the original residents here have moved. I heard that this area will sooner or later be withdrawn to build affordable housing, so the rent is also very casual. Unlike other places where the rent is paid every six months or a quarter, here most of the rent is paid once a month. However, because it is an old residential area, life is very convenient, and there are all kinds of small shops.

Lin Xu lives on the first floor of a four-story old building. This building used to be a dormitory for singles in a factory. It is a small single room with a bathroom. The rent is not expensive, 450 yuan a month. This price is for low-income people. Guiyang, a deformed city with high consumption, is already very cheap. Besides, there are bathrooms. Except for the damp spots, the light is almost poor, but Lin Xu is already very satisfied.

He doesn't have too many demands on life, in fact, he only has to live now.

When he stood on this land again with his wounds last fall, he was also at a loss. He didn't know where to go, and he couldn't go home. He knew that he was very bad at that time, so what can he do when he goes home?I also don't want to contact my former classmate, because he doesn't know what to say when we meet.he just wants to be quiet

So he boarded the airport bus in a daze, arrived at the terminal train station, got off the bus and followed the crowd unconsciously. The car was crowded, and Lin Xu was also squeezed into it at a loss. When he walked to Yutianba, there was a traffic jam. It was very simple. The two cars in front were scratched, so everyone got out of the car to argue. This is common on Guiyang Street. Even the slightest scratches will drag on for a long time, and then a lot of onlookers will gather, each doing expert analysis and persuasion, but everyone from the protagonist to the onlookers is very happy, just like a pleasing performance

This time was no exception. When the bus driver opened the door, the passengers on the bus happily got off the bus to participate in the performance. Lin Xu was also pushed out of the bus by the crowd. After looking at the crowd, Lin Xu went to the next road. Walking in the alley, there was no purpose, and I looked at it casually while walking, so I saw the rental revelation of this house.

The house only has a 1.5 bed, a computer table, a mottled three-drawer table (a table with three drawers), a short, small square table, and a small bathroom, but fortunately, water and electricity are very convenient, and the bathroom has For the water heater, Lin Xu paid one month's rent and a deposit of 500 yuan without hesitation.

The convenience stores and small supermarkets in this old residential area are full of things, even needles, threads and brains are sold. That day, Lin Xu just bought a bedding and fell asleep.

In the next two days, Lin Xu was busy buying daily necessities, such as a simple wardrobe, an induction cooker, a rice cooker, etc. The "People's Convenience Store" next to him came from a Sichuanese, warm and hospitable. One daughter and one son, watching such a young and handsome child move in, naturally it took a lot of care.

"Lin Xu," the proprietress said while assembling the things he wanted to buy, "You live by yourself, do you work here? Then you have to cook by yourself and eat outside. It's very expensive. A bowl of noodles costs 8 yuan. Money, the portion is still small, how can you eat enough, young man? I will fix the basic things for you and cook by yourself, why don’t you come to my house to join me? You can just call me Sister Zhao.”

"Thank you, no need, Sister Zhao." Seeing the elder sister-in-law holding things deftly, Lin Xu's heart warmed up.

Seeing Lin Xu's bewildered look, the proprietress was probably a child who had never done any housework, so she enthusiastically covered Lin Xu's family affairs with her.

In a day, Lin Xu's nest had already taken shape. The bed was covered with clean dark blue sheets and quilts. The three-drawer table was placed on the right side of the door. There were induction cookers, rice cookers and so on. Two cardboard boxes, one of which contained Bowls and chopsticks, one filled with rice and soy sauce.The very small windows were also replaced with light blue curtains. The proprietress was really quick and careful. She took care of Lin Xu very thoughtfully and saved money. She took Lin Xu to the vegetable market and told him whose house it was. The dishes are fresh and cheap, so what if someone doesn't want to sell them, Lin Xu's mood was diluted a lot after being dragged by the proprietress like this for two days.

"When will you go to work?" The proprietress suddenly asked, "Don't delay your work, it's hard to find a job now."

"Oh, it's coming soon." Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, yes, I have to go to work, I have to go to work."

At night, staying in this strange room, without Sister Zhao chattering in my ears, the world seemed unusually quiet and depressing. Lin Xu took out his mobile phone from his bag, and couldn't help feeling a prickly pain in his heart. It was Brother Fei who gave him the phone. The mobile phone I bought is very quiet, there are no calls, no text messages, not even spam messages.Lin Xu dialed the number at home, pretending to be relaxed, called his grandma, saying that everything is fine, Brother Fei is also fine, don't worry.Listening to grandma's happy voice, it seems that there are other people talking at home, and it looks very lively

"Xu Xu, take care of yourself, we are all fine, Xiao Xiao brought a lot of crabs today, your mother is doing it now"

I don't know when, grandma and mother have been talking about this person named Xiao Xiao on the phone, but Lin Xu didn't care. Grandma is respected by people. I heard from my mother that he was a fellow practitioner who went to the temple together. Not bad, sometimes Lin Xu thinks, there are not many people who can get praise from grandma and mother at the same time, but Lin Xu really has no interest in caring for strangers

Carefully put the mobile phone in the drawer, Lin Xu fully charged the mobile phone on time and paid the full fee, because he had to use this number to call grandma every night, and maybe Brother Fei would call him?

Lin Xu also bought a cheap counterfeit mobile phone, set up an account in Guiyang, found an Internet cafe, posted his resume on the recruitment website, and went to the talent market

Soon, Lin Xu was admitted as an employee of "Zhiyuan Law Firm". "Zhiyuan Law Firm" was founded by the famous barrister Yang Zhiyuan. Information, printing documents, running errands and serving tea and water, the salary is 1500 yuan.This is a very common salary standard in Guiyang. Besides paying the rent, Lin Xu thought, he had to cook and fire himself.

In this way, Lin Xu started his life alone in this corner of the city.

Except for the constant care of the convenience store family, Lin Xu lived alone like this, becoming more and more taciturn.
