Throwing the little personal belongings I took out of the office into the trash can on the side of the road, I looked up at the gray sky, and finally realized that I have nothing at this moment, and I am finally alone.
?Leaving the office in a gesture of escape, but after I left, I didn't know where I was going. Walking step by step on the streets in late autumn, passers-by with hasty expressions and vehicles speeding by, they all seem to be the same as me, with no direction and no end.
Unknowingly, I came to the edge of the South Lake, and I found a smooth stone to sit down on. Looking at the sparkling lake surface, he slowly calmed down. Light a cigarette for myself, not far away is the place where I stayed with Li Xin the night before yesterday, today, I don't know if she thinks of me.
There are leaves of Sophora japonica floating on the lake, and the Nanhu Lake in late autumn has a taste of old age. Before long, she will hide under the ice like an old man hiding in a coffin, and she will give birth to new vitality under the ice. When spring comes, green grass sprouts will be waiting for life by the lake, and the frozen lake will slowly recede to the other side of the shore. At that time, will I be full of spring?
? I was tangled up every day, and the boring job was finally discarded by me. The following life should be beautiful, at least it should not be as passionless as before!
Zhang Li called and said that he would fulfill his promise to help me fix the floor heating in Li Xin's room. He said that he would go to the shooting range bus stop immediately and let me pick him up. He brought tools and he couldn't handle it alone.
I jumped up from the rock, and all the things I had thought about just now disappeared.
A motorcycle was installed under the big balloon by the South Lake. I put both hands on the roaring motorcycle, and the motorcycle went straight to the shooting range bus station with black smoke.
Zhang Li was standing behind the billboard 100 meters away from the bus stop sign, so that I couldn¡¯t find him after getting off the motorcycle, so I called Zhang Li from behind the billboard after calling the phone.
Along the way, the tension was concealed, and I knew he was not used to the life of falling from a height.
He may be afraid that someone will recognize him as a contractor who used to drive an Audi and fell asleep a female college student. In fact, there is no need. Some people in this city care about your success, but few people care about your failure. No one cares about your failure. Whether alive or dead.
In order to make Zhang Li more comfortable, I beckoned the motorcycle driver who had brought me here just now. There were a lot of tools, and it was really difficult for the two of them to lift it like this.
Although Zhang Li owes a lot of debts, he is still on top of his airs. He still wears famous brands and his leather shoes are still shiny.
I have the card on the gate of the community in my hand. After swiping it, Zhang Li and I went in. The security at the gate of the community did not stop us.
People are always vain, I wondered if Zhang Li would admire the high-end of this community, but Zhang Li didn't even take a second look, and went straight ahead.
In fact, Zhang Li wants to come back. Zhang Li has been in the middle class for several years, and this neighborhood may not be considered anything in his eyes.
Going upstairs to open the door, I was surprised that Li Xin was in the house. She went out before me in the morning. Could it be that she missed work when she came back now?
"This is my friend Zhang Li, come here to help repair the floor heating of the house!" I pointed to Zhang Li and introduced it to Li Xin.
Li Xin smiled standardly and stretched out his hand to Zhang Li, Zhang Li and Li Xin shook hands lightly, but his expression told me that he was a little unnatural.
That's right, the former contractor was also considered a small boss, with a strong back, but now he has been mixed up to the point where he personally helps me fix the floor heating, and he is somewhat lost.
After greeting Li Xin, we quickly entered the state.
Zhang Li said that he is an expert in plumbing installation. He is really not bragging, and he is indeed unambiguous in his hands. To be honest, I also know how to use some tools, but I always feel that I am not proficient in using them, and the tools are constantly waving in Zhang Li's hands, giving people a very powerful aesthetic feeling.
There is no need to question his professionalism, I can see it all.
After a while, Zhang Li found the problem. The pipes in Li Xin's bedroom were blocked, and the hot water could not flow through. Naturally, the house would not be warm in winter.
This problem is quite troublesome. The pipes are coiled under the ground and circles. Who knows where it is blocked?
I know that Li Xin is not very clear about this kind of thing. After discussing with Zhang Li, we didn't say hello to Li Xin again. We vacated the bedroom and removed the protective layer with an electric shovel. The high-grade wooden floors in most of the bedrooms were all destroyed, but there was no other way.
Li Xin came in to see it once during the period, she didn't say anything, I was completely relieved, as long as she didn't blame me for smashing the floor of the house without saying hello, the rest is easy to say. She handed me a pack of cigarettes with disgusting pictures on it, I knowThat is not a domestic product. I have been smoking for some years, and the image is no longer harmful to me. I opened the cigarette case and handed it to Zhang Li. Li Xin was standing at the door, and I didn't have the nerve to light a cigarette for myself.
"I have something to do in a while, so I'll go first, thanks for your hard work, Brother Li!" Li Xin smiled and waved to Zhang Li and left. I heard her voice changing shoes at the door, feeling a little dazed.
Zhang Li was covered in dust, he rubbed his sweat and tilted his head with a smile, "Your boy is very lucky, where's the previous girlfriend?"
"Before? I didn't have any girlfriends before!" I murmured, squatting down and continuing to work.
After struggling with Zhang Li for a whole afternoon, I finally got through the previous floor heating pipe. After confirming that there was no problem, I went out of the community and bought cement and sand not far away. There is a floor left over from the renovation in the storage room. It's over, it's already nine o'clock in the evening.
We haven't done this kind of strenuous work for several years, and we are so tired that we are sweating profusely.
Li Xin hasn't come back since he left, so dinner is naturally unavailable. After a short rest and a simple wash, Zhang Li and he went downstairs to find something to eat.
There is a Lanzhou Beef Ramen outside the community. The environment and sanitation are unsatisfactory. I am hungry and I am not in the mood to find better ones. We can only make do here.
? I ordered a large portion of noodles, and added meat and eggs to fool my growling stomach.
After leaving the ramen restaurant, the wind blew up again, with cold raindrops caught in the wind, I involuntarily tightened my clothes, and walked towards the community with Zhang Li.
"Feng Tang, can you find your friend and lend me some more money!" Zhang Li followed behind me in a low voice, asking me a little embarrassed.
I didn¡¯t know how to answer Zhang Li for a moment. I didn¡¯t have much money on me after I got my salary a few days ago. Zhang Li¡¯s hole is relatively big. Last time I gritted my teeth and lent him the 5,000 yuan. I have no ability.
Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Li continued, "I shouldn't have opened my mouth to you anymore. I know you don't have much money, but I really have no choice. Someone came over this morning to press the bill. I said it was to help you fix the floor heating. In fact, they came out to hide from the debt! When I was rich, those people would always be like my grandsons to supply me with smiling faces, but now that I have no money, everyone turns their faces and refuses to recognize anyone!"
When Zhang Li spoke, he looked helpless and resentful. There are so many people who have fallen into trouble these years, and there is nothing we can do.
I am really in a dilemma at the moment, after all, I really have no money in my hand, standing on the side of the street with Zhang Li, speechless for a while.
"How much money are you short?" I asked after a long time.
"I still owe the supplier more than 300,000 yuan!" Zhang Li took a sharp puff of the flue.
I don't know how big a project Zhang Li has taken on. Just looking at the foreign debts, I know that he must be involved in a lot this time.
"It's too much, please allow me a few days to figure out a solution!" I said this, but I didn't know what to do in my heart. With so much money, I really can't get it together for a while, unless I sell myself.
"I didn't think about borrowing more, you help me raise another 50,000 to 60,000, I'll deal with it first!" Zhang Li was eager.
I nodded and didn't speak again, I shrank my neck and walked back towards the community. The security at the gate of the community huddled in the sentry box and did not come out. The weather is getting colder every day.
After going upstairs, Zhang Li packed up his tools and was about to leave, saying that he would not be able to go back when the subway stopped later. I didn't keep Zhang Li any longer, and turned back after sending him into the elevator.
Standing on the balcony, I can clearly see Zhang Li dragging a large bag of tools through the landscape area and walking towards the main entrance of the community. His figure is full of exhaustion and helplessness.
?I just resigned and lost my source of livelihood. I feel embarrassed again, but Zhang Li is so difficult, how can I just watch him being crushed by the crisis? (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
