come to my office after get off work

Today is Ji Lianxing's third day at Yu Meng's house.

Ten p.m.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Yu Meng sat in front of the vanity mirror and applied eye cream, her appearance was reflected in the mirror, and behind her was a bed.

Ji Lianxing was nestling on the bed, tightly wrapped in the quilt, in a daze.

"I received a new offer this afternoon, from Zhang Mingyue's wife."

Yu Meng turned around with admiration in her eyes, "She really appreciates you, think about it?"

Ji Lianxing was silent.

She and Luo Rong talked on the phone in the afternoon. Luo Rong said that if he wanted to, he could go to work in her company. The occupation was not much different from before, but the salary was higher and there was more room for advancement.

This should be something to be happy about, but Ji Lianxing is not interested. I don't know if it is a sequela of a broken relationship. He has been at Yumeng's house for the past few days. He didn't go anywhere. He just slept and was in a daze.

Most of all, inexplicably, she felt lost.

"Yu Meng."

"Ok?"

"I don't want to be in this city anymore."

Yu Meng froze, and looked at Ji Lianxing from the mirror. She was in a daze, and her expression and tone didn't look like she was joking.

"Then where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere is fine except this city." Ji Lianxing turned over, his eyes were a little empty, and he murmured: "If I don't leave here, I will feel that I am bound, and I don't want to stay in the same place with her .”

"Have you thought it through?" Yu Meng turned around and looked at Ji Lianxing. From the perspective of career development, staying in City A is the best choice. There are many opportunities and strong competitiveness here. There is a big improvement.

"Think clearly." She got out of the bed, showing her slender shoulders. She was already thin, but she didn't eat for a few days, and she felt even thinner. The money has been paid back, and then you will give it to her for me."

Yu Meng felt distressed when he heard that, and after the breakup, he still wanted to pay off the debt.

"Hurry up, get under the quilt, I can't see your small body, if you don't eat tomorrow, I'm really going to be angry."

Ji Lianxing nodded, "Got it."

Yu Meng sighed, "Go to another city, will you get used to it?" She thought to herself that this would be too lonely, a person who had no sense of belonging in the first place, finally got acquainted with a city, and then Going to another strange city again, and then choose to drift alone.

Ji Lianxing got into the bed again, only showing his head, "There is nothing you are used to or not, it's all about life, anyway, after staying for so many years, you should get tired of it, try another place and see if you can find something new." Let's develop."

She gave herself a deadline, after three days, no matter how sad she was, she had to cheer up, leave the city, go find a job again, and no matter how unsatisfactory her life was, she had to support herself.

"Ji Lianxing." Yu Meng just looked at her like that, stopped talking a thousand words, but finally said nothing, "Okay, I will support you whatever you want."

In the dead of night, the two of them were lying on the same bed. Yu Meng, an office worker, was so tired at work that he fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.

Ji Lianxing lay beside her, another sleepless night.Staring at the pitch-black ceiling in a daze, the world was peaceful.

Inevitably, Jiang Shu got into Ji Lianxing's head again. As long as she thinks of her these days, she will feel panicked in her heart. Ji Lianxing feels that she has been cursed. Jiang Shu's shadow.

That feeling is not the same as longing, rather than remembering over and over again, it is better to say that you choose to forget over and over again.

But can you really forget?Jiang Shu's appearance, her touch, her voice, and those lingering nights, the secrets between them...

Ji Lianxing turned around, tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes, and finally fell asleep in sadness and exhaustion...

In the early morning, Yu Meng got up early to go to work.

Ji Lianxing was lying on the bed. She had resigned and didn't need to go to work.These days are rare moments when she can sleep until she wakes up naturally, but she doesn't sleep very well. Sometimes she wakes up before Yu Meng wakes up. In order not to disturb Yu Meng's sleep, Ji Lianxing usually lies on the bed daze.

"What do you have for breakfast?" Yu Meng asked Ji Lianxing when she was getting dressed.

"I'll take care of it myself, don't worry."

"Don't eat again." Yu Meng made a gesture to cut her throat.

"Got it, I'm going to get up and go out to look for food." Ji Lianxing got up from the bed and put on a coat casually. Today was the first day she went out in recent days, and the sky outside was foggy.

Winter mornings are the coldest. Yu Meng's house is rented far away from the city center, and the surrounding area is almost full of old communities.Although the surrounding area of ​​the old community is not as prosperous as the city center, it has the advantage that there are many foods to eat, and most of them taste very authentic.

Ji Lianxing has no appetite, but her stomach still needs to be filled. She walked into a noodle restaurant and ordered a small bowl of beef noodles. The business of this restaurant is very good. The table is almost full early in the morning, and the boss is standing next to a big pot , all the noodles are boiled inside, and the proprietress is busy with a row of bowls.

Sitting on the table next to the wall, Ji Lianxing took out his mobile phone, clicked on Luo Rong's WeChat, thought for a while, and finally sent the message: Mr. Luo, thank you for your kindness, I have thought about it for a long time, and decided to go to another place city ​​Development.

After the news was sent out, Ji Lianxing took a long breath, as if the last burden had been lifted, and she could leave the city without any burden.But in the next second, the shadow of someone appeared in his head, and he was suddenly a little sad.

Ji Lianxing shook her head, don't think about her anymore, let's go, just leave.

After breakfast, when I came out of the noodle shop, there was light rain in the sky, and the sky over the city was dense.A strange call came in, and the caller ID indicated that it belonged to Lore County.

Ji Lianxing clicked to answer.

"Hello!" An aunt on the other end of the phone yelled at Mai, speaking in her native dialect, "Are you Ji Xiaopang?"

Ji Lianxing froze for a moment, the voice was really familiar, like that...Aunt Fang in the village?

"I am." Ji Lianxing switched to his hometown accent, "Are you Aunt Fang?"

"Right! Oh! You still remember me! I'll come back soon, I have good news!"

Ji Lianxing is quite confused here, she doesn't know what good news Aunt Fang, who has never been in touch with, can bring her.

Seeing Ji Lianxing's silence, Aunt Fang shouted again: "Come back quickly, the house at the head of your house is about to be demolished!"

Is Lore County going to be demolished?Ji Lianxing's first reaction was that she didn't have a house, and her house was sold when her mother was sick, but the uncle's house was still there.

"Hurry up and come back, the house at the head of your uncle's house is all yours, you really made a lot of money!" Aunt Fang hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Ji Lianxing standing there in a daze , The news came too suddenly, and I didn't deal with it at all.

Is this why there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain?

Ji Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief, and the dead blood began to flow faster. She didn't know how the demolition works, so she really had to go back to Luoer County. She rushed back to Yu Meng's house and took I went to the ID card and bought a ticket for the fastest high-speed rail, which takes two hours.

Strangely, when sitting on the high-speed rail, Ji Lianxing looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.She remembered that when she left last time, she had made up her mind never to return to this place, but she still came back now.

Walking out of the high-speed rail station, in just one and a half months, Lore County has undergone major changes. The previous small noodle restaurants and vegetable markets have been demolished, the construction team has begun to lay foundations in the ruins, and several surrounding roads have begun to be renovated. A small county town is like an old man who is returning to his youth.

Walking on the road, Ji Lianxing found that he met more young and middle-aged people than last time, and everyone seemed to be running back to handle errands. It seemed that there was really a big demolition.

Ji Lianxing took a taxi to Feiqian Village. He still took the old three-wheeler, but this time it was electric instead of pedal.Ji Lianxing thought to himself, don't you have to worry about the tricycle master going uphill too hard this time?

The tricycle was parked at the gate of Feiqian Village. As soon as Ji Lianxing got out of the car, he raised his head and saw a banner at the gate of the village: Demolition and renovation of beautiful homes, reasonable compensation and reasonable compensation, demolition and relocation to create harmony and optimize environmental development.

The aunt at the entrance of the village was happily saying something. The moment Ji Lianxing got off the car, Aunt Fang saw her with sharp eyes, and her sharp voice burst out from the crowd: "Ji Xiaopang is back! Hurry up, come on!" Come here quickly, cub!"

There are a lot of uncles and aunts, Ji Lianxing is a little embarrassed, but he still bites the bullet and walks over. Everyone is discussing money and land. So come here.

A trembling old man came from the village, and said happily, "Come on, tell us to go to the demolition office."

Everyone was crowded and headed towards the demolition office. Ji Lianxing looked into the village, but did not find Wang Xiaoli. I don't know if she was heartbroken because of Ji Siyu's matter, except that night she called to tell About her, Ji Siyu, the two of them have basically lost contact.

On the way to the demolition office, Aunt Fang took Ji Lianxing to talk to the parents and the west. Aunt Fang loved to gossip, her mouth shot straight like a machine gun, Ji Lianxing was half listening and half perfunctory, thinking about what Wang Xiaoli did Why don't you come, can she not come for something that has something to do with money?

"Xiao Pang, there is something. Aunt Fang decided to tell you." Aunt Fang held Ji Lianxing's arm, her expression suddenly became serious, and she lowered her voice, "I always thought that, Wang Xiaoli did really well in that matter." That's wrong!"

"What's the matter?"

"Back then, when your uncle had a headache like that in the house, she didn't even send him to the hospital. How could it be plausible?"

Ji Lianxing stopped, and stared at Aunt Fang in fear.

"What did you say? Wasn't my uncle in the hospital all the time?"

"Ah, it was in the hospital at the beginning, and then it was sent back directly. Your uncle passed away after staying at home for a month."

a month?In an instant, something hit Ji Lianxing's heart hard, and the information she originally knew was too different. She remembered that Jiang Shu transferred 25 yuan in the account one month before his uncle's death. At that time, in order to prevent Ji Siyu from using that The money was also specially transferred to the uncle's card, which was kept by Wang Xiaoli.

At that time, Wang Xiaoli kept saying that the money would definitely be spent on the uncle, and the video of the hospital every day was also sent to Ji Lianxing's mobile phone, so what happened after staying at home for a month?

"Ji Zai, I really can't watch your aunt anymore. You see, the big guys in this village know it, but they don't say it. It's good not to intervene in other people's housework. But I'm thinking about it, and I'm watching you grow up. Big one, girl, you can't take it anymore, you know?" Aunt Fang patted Ji Lianxing's shoulder meaningfully, her eyes said everything.

Ji Lianxing suddenly panicked, remembering what his uncle said before he died, "That sentence don't be soft-hearted" is so appropriate at this moment, so is what he left behind real estate? Does "don't be soft-hearted" mean not to give it to Wang Xiaoli?

No wonder Aunt Fang made the phone call about the demolition. Wang Xiaoli knew about it but didn't tell her.

After walking for a while, a group of people came to the door of the demolition office. The door was full of people, and it was completely blocked. Everyone was so excited that there seemed to be endless words for each sentence, and the staff felt helpless.

"Don't worry, everyone can rest assured that we will pay the compensation in place. As long as you sign, our money will arrive on time, and the details will be announced next to it. Please check it out first, and come to us if you have any questions." If it doesn't work, everyone still asks him to explain verbally without reading the document.

Ji Lianxing turned around, and went to the post at the door, which stated the area that everyone in the village should pay for and the amount of money that should be paid for each square meter. Ji Lianxing found his name on a string of names.

The information on the list is: Ji Lianxing, the original land area (including the yard) is 200 square meters, and the unit price per square meter is compensated at 10000. The number of properties that should be compensated for properties larger than 150 square meters and less than 250 square meters: 2, with an area of ​​120 square meters.

Ji Lianxing stood at the same spot and spent two seconds calculating the amount. She will get 200 million yuan in compensation and two additional suites. According to the local housing prices, she should have a total of 400 million yuan in cash.

Surrounded by the noise of the villagers, Ji Lianxing stood where she was, feeling different than usual, and suddenly wanted to cry. This is the money her uncle left for her. When the uncle passed away, he said that he hoped that she would be healthy and happy. The uncle also said, don’t be soft-hearted. .

She thought what uncle meant was to let her take the money to live her life again.

"Hey, do you understand? Who signed it? Who signed it?" Uncle Zhang Wu shouted in the crowd.

Although the money is already clear, everyone still dare not act rashly, after all, this is something that can easily cost millions.The villagers looked at each other and looked at each other, as if they were waiting for someone who could take the lead in making decisions.

"I'll sign." A crisp female voice came from the crowd, and Ji Lianxing came out and sat down in front of the staff, "Hello, I want to see the contract."

The staff is very cooperative, young people, it's easier to communicate.

"This is our contract. The house will be demolished after you sign it. The demolition payment will arrive within 45 working days. We process it here very quickly, usually within [-] days. As for the house, we have to wait for the resettlement housing to be built." I will give it to you after it is ready." The staff handed the contract to Ji Lianxing, and added: "Our country's current subsidy policy is in place, take a look."

Ji Lianxing browsed through the contract, holding a pen in his hand, but still hesitated.

She looked at the contract, if she signed her name now, she would get a huge sum of money.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the scene when my uncle died that day. He held her hand and told her not to cry. He told her that he had prepared a gift for her. When the uncle died, he should be There was nothing to say, but Ji Lianxing understood.

He probably wanted to say, live a good life.

No matter how hard the past life was, no matter how fate choked her throat, those unfair, cruel and heart-wrenching things will become yesterday. The night is long, but the day will always come.

It seemed that the surrounding sounds had disappeared, and the uncle seemed to be standing beside her, as well as mom and dad, they told her that they would always be with her, no matter where she was, she was not a homeless child.

Ji Lianxing held the pen and finally signed her name. When she finished writing the last stroke of the word "star", a smile finally appeared on her face.

As if this is not a compensation contract, this is like a farewell ceremony to yesterday.

After Ji Lianxing signed, the only "high-achieving student" in the village signed, and the others followed suit one after another as if they had taken a reassurance.

Ji Lianxing withdrew from the crowd and walked out the door.Standing at the door, she looked up at the sky. The sun in Lore County is very strong today, which is different from City A. It seems that there has never been winter here, or, here, the sun in winter is warm.

She squinted, the sun in the sky haloed a layer of golden light, and the warmth shone from thousands of miles away, burning her cold and pale cheeks.

She looked down, and there was a short flight of stairs.

After stepping down the first step, she has decided to give Wang Xiaoli no money.

After stepping down the second ladder, she decided to leave after receiving the demolition money.

After stepping down the third flight of stairs, she decided never to return here.

There is a clear sky in front of you, and their laughter and laughter behind you.

Knock down all those old old barren houses, preferably knock down that jewel flower in the yard, smash that pot, and set the soil free.

It is to say goodbye to yesterday, and save it for tomorrow.
