kind of bend me

On the morning of April in City T, the sun was still warm.

The entrance of the third kindergarten in T City is a large square, with white-painted seats, railings, and a table made of marble bricks to separate the grass and concrete open space.

At ten o'clock in the morning, there were a few chattering people sitting sparsely in the square.

On one side of the square are several small shops with uniform signboards. A man with a serious beer belly came out of his small shop, stretched out boredly, and walked into the maintenance shop next door with his slippers on.

He knocked on the counter and said to the heads protruding from a pile of electrical appliances: "Go to my third sister's house for dinner tonight, don't forget to close the door early, there will be activities at night."

The man smiled, "Hands are itching again? I can agree, I will call until twelve o'clock at most, and I have agreed with someone to turn on the TV tomorrow morning."

The beer belly didn't take it seriously, "Go, how much money can you make in a small maintenance shop in a day. You also give free door-to-door services to old men and women. You don't know that minor illnesses and major repairs are popular these days.

Was it overhauled?Just like you, you will not be able to earn money in your next life. "

The man shook his head, too lazy to talk to him, and buried himself in the pile of electrical appliances to continue fighting.

At noon, he closed the store, went back to the house and served steamed buns and fried vegetarian dishes to settle his lunch.

Get a good night's sleep, get up at three o'clock and open the door to continue working hard for life.

This kind of life is not happy, but it is also satisfying.

It has been a month since I came back from e-city, I simply tidied up the small shop and hung up the sign of the maintenance shop, and it officially opened.

There were no customers in the first half month, so Sibao jokingly said: I really can’t do it, I broke my TV, and I will open one for you.

He is not in a hurry, he does not distribute leaflets or post small advertisements. Anyway, his house does not need to pay rent, so he can be a leisurely little boss with peace of mind.

After those half a month, it gradually got better, and every day was a little bit of work, not to mention a lot.His price is fair, and more people come naturally.

With life, people feel more fulfilled.

On the day of He Lei's funeral, he called the elders of the He family to chat about the daily routine.

He didn't go anywhere in the evening, he closed the door early, bought wine and filled two glasses, raised a glass, touched them lightly, and after the crisp sound, he drank it all in one gulp.

Two years later, the grief had eased, and he could tell the man about his life with a smile.

I opened a small shop and earned some money to live on, but sometimes I still feel lonely and... miss you.

Are you okay over there, alone, lonely?

Sibao is also married, you haven't seen him like this now, he is so fat that you can hardly recognize him.Living comfortably, smiling all day long, I am about to become a Maitreya Buddha.

My parents are in good health, and they are fascinated by Beijing opera. Every time I make a phone call, I can hear the sound of "babbling and babbling", but I can't understand anything, just making noises.

Old Bai, do you still remember, it was your little first love, I saw it last month, and it was so disabled that I couldn't even look like a human being.Just like what you described at the beginning as a rotten old man with vegetables between his teeth.really not

I have a small belly, that's really it.How about it, regret it at the beginning, I will tell you what kind of vision you have!This kind of thing is also attractive, and I have been secretly in love with you for more than ten years.

don't want.Look at me, I'm still like that, with a standard figure, just adding a small wrinkle or something, it won't affect the overall image, right?

By the way, let me tell you about the business, you said that one day if someone sees you right, maybe I will be on good terms with him.Don't be angry, who told you to leave so early, I can't accompany you... Oh, forget it, no

Having said that, it is estimated that I am half buried in the loess, and it is difficult to find someone who can see me right.

After all, there is no second you in this world.

On weekends, he took a day off, put on sportswear, carried a simple bag, and climbed mountains to see the scenery.

City T has changed and become more prosperous. City t has not changed, it is still the most beautiful city in his heart, and it is still his home.

For the remaining decades of his life, he didn't want to go anywhere, stayed at home, and lived the simplest life.

It is also a joy.

When we got home, Sibao rushed into the house for the first time, as if he had discovered a new world, and said in surprise, "Amin, do you still remember that the person who is two buildings away from us, isn't he transferred to another place?

After selling it for a few months, someone bought it.People moved here today, but the truck is still parked there! "

Shen Xu glanced at him, "What's the fuss about this, if someone buys it, someone will buy it, you go watch the excitement!"

Sibao: "The key is who bought it, guess who I saw"

Shen Xu looked puzzled: "Who?"

When Shen Xu arrived, the movers were still moving things into the house.

Li Meixiang came out of the house and told the workers to be careful.

Shen Xu shouted, "Aunt Li."

Li Meixiang turned her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, you are here, hurry up and help Auntie move things. That cardboard box is filled with your Uncle Wan's books, but they are precious!"

Seeing Aunt Li rushing in and out, Shen Xu put his doubts in his stomach first, and put his hands together to help carry the things.

In the evening, after cleaning up the house, Shen Xu was extremely tired. He sat down on the ground and looked at this simply decorated hut.

The first floor, [-] square meters, has two bedrooms and two living rooms. There is a courtyard outside the house, where you can plant some flowers and plants. I think this is the main reason why Uncle Wan chose this house.

Although this place is not bad, it is far worse than the two-story building in S City.

Li Meixiang brought out the washed fruit from the kitchen and handed it to Shen Xu, "You're exhausted, my aunt treats you to dinner tonight, oh, and the family of Sibao is also called, so it's more lively."

Shen Xu took the fruit, "Aunt Li, why did you move? It's a good place to live there. You and Uncle Wan are not young anymore, why are you making such a fuss?"

Li Meixiang sat on the sofa, smiled and sighed, "Didn't I want to be closer to you! S City is good, but it's so boring just me and you Uncle Wan alone. We can see each other every day when we move here face to face

Come here if you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you. "

Shen Xu was confused: "We"

Li Meixiang hurriedly said "Oh", and changed the subject to chat about where to eat at night.

Uncle Wan came in from outside the house, patted the ashes off his body, and leaned over to the sofa, "Shen Xu, take me to your repair shop later, the business is not bad!"

Li Meixiang returned to the kitchen, Shen Xu asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wan, tell me the truth, why did you move here?"

Uncle Wan smiled without saying a word, just closed his eyes and shook his head.

Unable to ask for an answer, Shen Xu's doubts deepened.

In the evening, Sibao's family gathered for a big meal in the restaurant. During the dinner, Sibao was a living treasure. He repeatedly praised the two elders for their good thinking. This city T is a good city suitable for retirement.

However, Shen Xu disagreed: "No matter how good T City is, how can it compare to the place where you have lived for most of your life? You have to adapt to the water, soil and climate here after a long time. Aunt Li, I still can't figure it out.

Is there any reason to move here. "

The Wan family couple looked at each other and smiled.

Li Meixiang sighed softly at the table of sumptuous dishes.

"Xiao Xu, you are still here after all!"

The business of the maintenance shop is getting better and better, but Shen Xu has become lazy.

He only takes three or four jobs a day, and he doesn't want to confine himself to that small world all day long.

He needs time to go to the park, tease the neighbor's cats and dogs, chat with a few good friends, and go outdoors in the morning to breathe the freshest air.

His life became very regular, and even Sibao began to think about introducing him to a boyfriend.

Gathering in the small courtyard on the first floor of Wan's house at night to enjoy the cool, Li Meixiang brought out sliced ​​watermelons, Sibao leaned close to Shen Xu and whispered.

A relative of Luo Lin's colleague's family has never been married in his 40s. He is a very down-to-earth person. He has opened a decoration company and lives in a small villa!How about, do you want to----

Before he finished speaking, a piece of watermelon was stuffed into his mouth.

Li Meixiang glared at him displeasedly, "Eat your watermelon honestly! So many words."

Shen Xu smiled, Sibao looked at him puzzled.

When returning, Sibao squeezed beside him, "What do you think my aunt thinks, are you afraid that I will introduce you to someone who is unreliable? Don't worry, I have inspected it. My second sister's new house is for him to decorate." of

, I have had dinner with him several times, really, he is a nice guy, you should meet him first! "

Shen Xu shook his head, "In the future!"

Sibao said dissatisfiedly: "What is the future! I told you that there is no such store in this village. It has been more than two years since Brother Leizi passed away. You should let it go. Really, go back and think about it. miss it

. "

After returning, Shen Xu fell asleep without thinking about anything.

When Sibao asked him to answer the next day, he held his chin and said solemnly: "After a night of deliberation, I decided--"

Sibao stared wide-eyed and pricked up his ears.

Shen Xu: "It's gone, that's all."

Sibao angrily picked up the screwdriver next to him and threw it at it.

"Shen, you have the guts!"

Shen Xu's life is colorful and colorful. As soon as he woke up in the morning, Aunt Li brought him steaming buns, dumplings, and leek boxes, and fed him in different ways.

After Shen Xu's persuasion was ineffective, he made a discussion and knocked on Aunt Li's door cheekily every morning.

The life of the maintenance shop is not quiet and peaceful every day. From time to time, some weird customers come to the door to quarrel for some weird reasons. Only by knocking and beating and paying two dollars can they get relative peace.

Quiet.

Lorraine's shop was sometimes too busy, she pushed the stroller to the repair shop and howled, "Shen Xu, take care of me for two hours."

Before Shen Xu raised his head from the broken metal, he ran away in a hurry.

So one afternoon, the small maintenance shop rang out the strange sound of Ultraman fighting Batman.

The little baby cries, laughs, urinates and urinates for a while, it's nothing, the most important thing is that he wants to drink milk!Most importantly, only drink human milk!

Shen Xu was carrying a crying friend on his back, with a phone stuck in his ear that couldn't get through, and he was frantically looking for a substitute for human milk.

After a period of upheaval, the repair shop was in a mess, Shen Xu angrily threw the little friend back into the car, and stared at him fiercely.

As soon as the button was unbuttoned and the gown was taken off, he said heroically, "Come on, I will fight with you."

The little baby was frightened, staring at him with small eyes, with small tears, sucking his small nose, and looking at him pitifully.

Shen Xu put on a flattering expression, "How about I let you take a couple of puffs to get over your addiction."

After a pause of two seconds, the earth-shattering cry sounded again.

Shen Xu gradually got used to this kind of life, with relatives and friends by his side, spending every day amidst noise and laughter.

For the rest of the day, without He Lei, he can live a fulfilling life.

I am used to waking up alone and sleeping peacefully alone.

There are no more variables in life.

One day in early August, the heavy rain that had lasted for two days finally stopped, the sky cleared up, and the air was filled with the fresh smell after the rain washed away.

The man who had been in the repair shop for a long time walked out of the shop and stretched himself.

He planned to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and bring some food to Aunt Li along the way.

After taking the wallet and keys, he told Sibao to take care of the store, and then he was about to go out.

A person came from far away from the city square.

Looking at the figure like a man, he should be tall, walking towards him facing the sun.

He couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, but for some reason, Shen Xu couldn't move forward for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, in a blur, the man was getting closer.

Close enough to be a few steps away from him, a familiar smile, a familiar voice, a familiar person.

"Shen Xu, long time no see."
