Chapter 25 25. Sunshine on the wasteland

Ma Min called Director Liu and revealed the design intention to him. "I want to design differently." Ma Min told Director Liu on the other end of the phone, quoting Zhou Xiaofeng’s original words, “We want to design this shopping mall with a sense of classicism. Depend on.We don't want to engage in the design of shopping malls that are popular. We want to have some flavor and features in the shopping malls. Nowadays, the characteristics are very good. Grab the hearts of customers.What do you mean, Director Liu? " "That's okay." Director Liu said, "This kind of idea is very good, just pay attention to characteristics."

Ma Min put down the phone and paged Zhou Xiaofeng, "Your idea has been approved, Director Liu agrees that we will send the design to Lean on the classical direction. He told Zhou Xiaofeng, "You can assign design tasks to them now." " "Oh, that's good." Zhou Xiaofeng said on the phone. Ma Min put down the phone, lit a cigarette, and looked at the picture on the wall, his eyes naturally fell on that On the cow.Ma Min admires Zhou Xiaofeng very much. He can draw the appearance of a cow with just a few strokes. The tail of the cow seems to be flicking there.

Same, absolutely.He thought, I am the cow, and my love is this wilderness.Zhou Xiaofeng is very inferior in love, But now, it seems that that pretentious Ms. Deng may have a story with Zhou Xiaofeng.she's really not that good looking Well, but Zhou Xiaofeng likes her, it really is beauty in the eye of the beholder.Ms. Deng is not as good looking as Zhou Xiaofeng's ex-wife. Zhou Xiaofeng has always had high eyesight. If this woman doesn't want that woman, why does his eyes go out in front of her? Have a problem?He thought again, this might be fate.So what about myself and Peng Xiao?Can this relationship not develop?I have got

I haven't contacted her for four days.I still have to insist on not seeing her for a week, and strive to take the initiative by myself, I can't be hung up by her play.When he was thinking this way, his wife opened the door and came in, holding the vegetables bought from outside, her face covered with bruises. Hot sweat and a red smile, "What kind of food did you buy?" He asked his wife, looking at the smile and sweat on his face she. She reported to him a few very common dishes without fish and seaweed. "It is said in the newspaper that children should eat more fish, because fish can increase intelligence." He said to his wife, "In addition, eat more sea food."

Kelp, there is a kind of iodine in kelp, which is very good for the human brain, and children who lack iodine will become dementia.Do you understand? " "I know, it's not like you haven't said it before. She doesn't want to eat it every day, and she's tired of stewed seaweed with ribs." "You can make cold kelp shreds, put some ginger and garlic, and chop it finely." "I don't like it when I make it." "Do it carefully to ensure that it tastes good." Ma Min said, "It's not difficult." His wife looked at him: "You blamed me. You didn't do it yourself!"

"I'm full of things, and it's not like you don't know!" Ma Min really wanted to get angry, "I want to hire a nanny for you, but you don't want to Yes, you are not serious about preparing the meals yourself, so I don't want to come back for dinner, I told you. " "I can't do it well, you don't know how to do it yourself?" "I make so much money, you are fine in the house, you still want me to serve you?" "I don't want you to serve me." The wife said, her expression stiffened. "You don't think that you are great just because you make money."

"I'll invite you a servant today...won't I let you relax?" "Don't invite me, I will drive her out if you invite me." His wife said loudly to him, very serious. When Ma Min drove to the Hunan Hotel, Xiao Liao hadn't come yet, and he arranged for Xiao Liao to greet Zhou Xiaofeng and the others. Ma Min remained silent, waiting for Xiao Liao in the room, thinking that Xiao Liao might have taken up some small decoration business outside. Appears to be elusive.At noon, Xiao Liao arrived on a motorcycle. "You little turtle," Ma Min said angrily Staring at him, cursing in front of Zhou Xiaofeng and Zhang Glasses. "If you don't listen to the order, I will fire you."

Xiao Liao opened his mouth to look at him, Ma Min continued fiercely, "You think your wings are hard? Do you still want to play with me? " Xiao Liao looked away.Zhou Xiaofeng said: "Ma Min, what kind of temper are you throwing at the boss?" Ma Min felt that he was in a particularly bad mood today, and this bad mood came from his wife. He felt that he was working hard, and for this reason, he tried to please Party A with a slavish appearance, just to take over the business. When I think about it carefully but I don't know who it is for, I feel very boring in my heart.Some people do things for love, some people do things for

In addition to the busy career, some people are pursuing their ideals.Who is he for?He knew in his heart that he just wanted to see the money in the bank The numbers keep going up, that's all.You all have a normal woman as your wife, but behind me is a strange woman what a woman.he thinks. "I don't like people betraying me," he said, continuing to stare at Xiao Liao, "If you want to do it yourself, I don't want to stay, just leave your mobile phone and motorcycle, just go your way, or you have to be loyal to me.why take it I use my money to do my own thing. Is there such a good thing in the world, you say?You still want to play with me?I really

Shout out to two people to 'fix' you. " "I didn't do my own thing," Xiao Liao's face turned pale when he said that, "I have something to do in my house these two days." "I believe you are so much?" Ma Min said, "Anyway, you will serve them here for half a month. Arrange meals, Night snack.You run errands when they need anything, and if they don't call you, you just sit here and don't go anywhere else.If you If you don't listen, you leave your mobile phone and motorcycle behind. " Xiao Liao raised his head and smiled, it was an embarrassing and sympathetic smile.

"Forget it, forget it," Zhou Xiaofeng accused Ma Min, "what are you doing talking nonsense? You really like talking nonsense!" After Ma Min sent a few angry words to his wife but failed, he felt better again. "Go and buy two Here is a watermelon," Ma Min said to Xiao Liao, his voice much softer, "I'll go right away. " After Xiao Liao left with his head down, Zhou Xiaofeng said to Ma Min solemnly: "Why do you treat him so badly? He is also a Man, you have to give him some face. " "I told him to come early in the morning, and he didn't come until this time, and it was I who called his cell phone, otherwise he would be fine. Can you come?Do you think I am hot?Are you afraid that I want to lose my temper with him?This is because he doesn't love himself. " "Then don't talk about him in front of us, you've made him lose face! You'll only make him get closer to you Criticism. "Zhou Xiaofeng said, "You have to pay attention to this aspect in the future, you don't treat him too much as a human being." " "I know what's in my heart." Ma Min didn't want to listen to Zhou Xiaofeng's instruction. Ma Min is a superfluous person here, they are buried in the design, their eyes are not staring at the sky outside the window and thinking hard, Just look at the paper and use your brain.Ma Min didn't want to disturb their train of thought, he just sat on the bed and flipped through the materials to see how the obedience The newspapers brought from the service desk, of course, are looking for lace news.At noon this day, after he took a nap, he felt strongly Wanting to call Peng Xiao on the pager, wanting to see her is so strong, I feel that without her in my life, the world would be empty that's it.He pressed Peng Xiao's pager number on his mobile phone and added the code "96" behind it.At this time, Deng Xiao Sister knocked on the door and came in—that female college student who wore a pair of glasses and had a mouse face, but was regarded by Zhou Xiaofeng as not vulgar— — with a tacky and ugly smile on his face (a mouthful of crooked yellow teeth), he greeted Ma Min and walked straight away To Zhou Xiaofeng's side.Zhou Xiaofeng was sitting in front of the table, hooking his head and focusing on drawing the renderings of the shopping mall, he didn't notice that she was looking for up. "Hello," Miss Deng said sweetly standing beside him. Of course Zhou Xiaofeng raised his head and put down the paintbrush in his hand. "Why are you here?" Zhou Xiaofeng asked her. "Come to see you," Miss Deng squinted at him, "You are not welcome?" "Welcome, welcome," Zhou Xiaofeng said, standing up to make tea for her, "Let's sit, sit, sit, sit." He said "Zuo Luo" three times in a row. After Ms. Deng sat down on the sofa, she looked around, "You are so busy," she said. "We are drawing blueprints," Zhou Xiaofeng said nonsense, and handed the tea to her, "We can't win." "I'm here to study," Miss Deng said with a false smile, she was talking to Ma Min who was staring at her. "I'm working on this with all my heart and soul." Zhou Xiaofeng said, looking directly at her mouse face with protruding eyes, "I want to talk to you I was really too busy to call, so I didn't call you.I'm glad you're here.Let's go after dinner," now only At three o'clock, he left her for supper.Ma Min thought it was very funny, so of course he said "hey", and then hehehehehe smiled.Ma Min didn't say anything, but Zhou Xiaofeng is a smart person, and he immediately felt it from Ma Min's laughter. The stupidity of myself just now. "Ma Min, why are you laughing like that?" Zhou Xiaofeng looked at him suspiciously and said, "It's just Did you say a precious word?It's not worth your laughing with your throat open like that! " "You said a precious word?" Ma Min pretended not to know, "I didn't hear it, what kind of precious word did you say?" Of course Zhou Xiaofeng would not repeat the precious words he said, "You are a pig." Zhou Xiaofeng disgusted him and laughed. With an air all over his face, he immediately cursed. If it were someone else, Ma Min would fight back vigorously, but he didn't care about Zhou Xiaofeng.He smiled again, "You are really A well-educated deputy senior designer who has read a lot of books," Ma Min is not angry, "why does he sound ruffian when he speaks? " "I just want to scold you to death, you exploit us." Zhou Xiaofeng said, "We will have good things to say to you!" At this time, Ma Min's cell phone rang, "I have exploited you, Zhou Xiaofeng, for a long time? I have been afraid of you in my whole life." Ma Min He smiled and said "Hello" to the phone.When Ma Min heard that it was Peng Xiao's voice, the indifferent smile on his face immediately It turned into a friendly smile, "Hello, it seems like I haven't contacted you for a year." He joked, "You Are you ok? " "I'm fine. What about you?" "I'm working on a four million business," he added another million, "and I'm organizing people's drawings. At the lake The South Hotel has booked two rooms, and they stay at the Hunan Hotel every day these days.How are you? "He just finished the last sentence, Immediately remembering that I have asked this sentence, busy turned into another sentence: "I mean where are you busy now?" "At home," she said, "just came in." "Rest in the house?" "Yes, it's hot outside." "I invite you to come out to play at night, do you want to come out?" "I do whatever I want." "Don't say casually, this sentence makes me sound unconfident. Do you think you want to come out and play?" Peng Xiao smiled on the other end of the phone, "Where is it?" Ma Min thought for a while, "I'll pick you up at 5:30, is that okay?" Peng Xiao didn't say anything. "You disagree?" Ma Min asked. "Okay, call my kiosk before you come." Ma Min said "OK" and put away the phone.Zhou Xiaofeng looked at Ma Min with bright eyes, "Oh, you insisted Hooked up with her? ! Zhou Xiaofeng smiled, "Aren't you afraid that your wife will divorce you?" " Ma Min smiled, "Don't grab me for 'retting', I was taken out of the jar, and then 'retting' is just like this." look like. "Ma Min said, and handed Zhou Xiaofeng a cigarette, "We are all old sparrows in Dongting Lake, and we have experienced a lot of wind and rain. " This evening is of special significance to Ma Min.He experienced the love he had dreamed of day and night, which is undoubtedly true love.Neither he nor she doubted the reality of love.They are so congenial that they can't choose where to go in the car. The car was dry.At that time, Ma Min didn't dare to have such hopes, and Peng Xiao didn't want to, but the matter developed to that point. step.You're out there looking for business sometimes, bumping into a bump here, bumping into a bump there, and when you're exhausted, don't think about it This is the reason why business comes when we are looking for things.That night, Ma Min didn't think about possessing her, he even He didn't even dare to think about it, he was afraid that if he thought too much and would not get her, he would feel hopeless.we don't want to despair We are all avoiding what we can't get, because the sense of hopelessness is suffocating.Since we are here In this world, I just want to live a better life.Ma Min thought so. "Everyone is going to make money, why?" Ma Mina Tian night stared at Peng Xiao very confidently, "I just want to live a better life, and money can make people live better. You have to admit, You have to admit that you have to admit that although money can't buy love, it can buy all the substances you want, and these substances It brings you not only happiness, but also your existence value.If you have money, you can buy a car; Doing nothing myself, employing the mental and physical strength of others, that's what I do.You have no money, you can only walk on two legs Road, you can only work part-time.Why do people nowadays talk about money instead of ideals?Just because money can change Change you, even change your whole life.People nowadays are all materialized, don’t think it’s degeneration, I think it’s a kind of progress.Everyone knows the importance of money, and this country will become prosperous and strong. " "Your thoughts are different from others, I think your words sound more real, Ma Min." "I am a person who tells the truth." Ma Min waved his hand grandly, "I don't need to tell lies, no one leads me, I don't exist to be humble. He remembered that he was not ambitious enough in front of Director Liu, so he changed his words, "It's just Sometimes I flatter others for the sake of business.This is called fishing with a hook.I'm from the Fishing Association, you're afraid of me It's really a big pig in vain!Fishermen always hit the 'nest' first, then put down the fishing rod, and wait for the fish to bite the hook. " "Of course I know that you are not called Ma Dazhu." Peng Xiao smiled beautifully, "You are called Ma Diaoyu." The two said this while having dinner in Yinyuan, and then they went to sing karaoke. "I want to sing karaoke today," Ma Min said to Peng Xiao beside him, "I've been busy for a few days, and I want to relax and relax with you." loose. " "Then let's go to Bawanghua Entertainment City to sing karaoke?" Peng Xiao said, "The acoustics there are good." "Where is it?" Ma Min asked her. "Next to the exhibition hall." The car drifted straight towards the exhibition hall. "One needs to be relaxed when one is tired," Ma Min said nonsense to her, "Kara OK is a kind of self-entertainment, which can let people relax the fatigue of the day.We are all too tired to live, what do you think? " Peng Xiao turned his head to look at him, then moved his gaze to the road. The car stopped in front of Bawanghua Entertainment City. "Is this the place?" Ma Min looked down on him a little Ask her, "I thought it was some newly opened high-consumption entertainment place." "Don't talk empty words, Ma Min." She said, blushing slightly, opened the door first and got out of the car. Ma Min felt that what he said to make fun of her was serious, and he regretted it a bit.He got out of the car, locked the door, looked deep into his eyes The sky was blue, and I looked at the appearance of Bawanghua Entertainment City, and felt that although the appearance was not luxurious, it was not so luxurious. ugly.There was a light in front of the door, and at the door stood a man with a ribbon embroidered with "Bawanghua Entertainment City" and red letters on a yellow background. Miss, the lady put on an image of waiting for customers.When the two walked past the lady, the lady smiled at them One click, welcome.The two of them walked straight into a private room with No. 2 on the door, and there was a row of corner people against the wall. Leather sofa, a brown glass coffee table, a 25-inch large color TV and two speakers.The air conditioner is on in the room, Ma After Min and Peng Xiao sat down, the service lady came in and turned on the TV, connected the cable, and then turned to ask what they needed. "Two cups of chrysanthemum tea," Ma Min said, straightening his back, "and a plate of mare's milk grapes." After the lady walked out of the door, Ma Min leaned his back on the back of the sofa and looked at Peng Xiao. Peng Xiao handed him a copy of the song book, I picked up another copy and looked for songs I was familiar with. "Shall I order "Keep the Roots" for you?" Peng Xiao said. "Yes." Ma Min smiled lightly, "This is my specialty." "What else are you singing?" Peng Xiao turned to look at him.He also glanced at her, her melon-seeded face was pale, her cheeks A few tiny blood vessels near the corner of the upper mouth appeared dimly in front of his eyes.She turned her face away embarrassed by his stare, He buried his head and looked at the sheet music.In his heart he really wanted to bend down and kiss her, but he hesitated for a while and said, "Sing a song called "The People of China" rumor". " "You know how to sing pop songs, don't you?" Peng Xiao smiled, then raised her pretty oval face, her eyes were gentle He glanced at Ma Min's face.Ma Min met her gaze with passion, for which his whole face trembled, this trembling Shaking may not be felt by others, but Ma Min can feel that his grown man's face is trembling, not the skin on his face It's trembling, but the muscles under the skin are trembling slightly, even jumping.He quickly turned his face away, he was afraid of her Feel the defeat on his face.As soon as he avoided looking at each other, he felt that the muscles on his face stopped trembling.he felt just Only then was his nerves very nervous, so he acted refreshed and said: "I have played a lot in karaoke halls, and I can hear it all by myself. some popular songs.Can we sing "Clearly My Heart" together later? "He thought she would not agree, But she nodded coquettishly and said, "Yes." Ma Min noticed that her eyes lit up when she said "yes", as if there was electricity in it.Ma Min originally planned to be cold to her today One point, this kind of indifference is not expressing anything to her, just joking and laughing casually to show that he is very relaxed.Ma Min doesn't want Let her see that he loves her so much, Ma Min wants to treat her feelings coldly and warm her up, or, If she doesn't heat up, I won't suffer so much.A person's feelings should not be too specific, too specific will harm Own.That's what Ma Min thought these days.So in the beginning he didn't show that he was gone for a few days and derived What should be enthusiasm, but that kind of gentle expression, as if it is just two friends who are close to each other, not a pair of lovers It's like meeting each other.At this moment, Ma Min's heart tightened, and he couldn't grasp what strategy he should adopt, so he pushed himself to send her a message to her. Attack or continue to maintain this state of mind.He felt that he did not have the strength to hold her. I will see how she develops.in his heart Said, I should take the initiative.The two began to sing, one song after another.Ma Min sang and smoked while having sex with her say.Ma Min sang "Chinese Folk Songs", "Collecting the wine in the cup in the morning and evening, I am lonely after the storm..." He sang very movingly He feels that he is really "the lonely me after the storm".For this reason, Peng Xiao applauded him specially, and asked him to Sing it (she ordered it for him).When he sang this song to her for the second time, his emotions became more mobilized, as if the river It’s as if the water in the river has risen up. When he sang the passage "You have to walk the north-south road, and you must never turn back on the tens of thousands of roads", He felt that he was gone forever like the strong man.His emotion rushed to his hand that wasn't holding the microphone. On the other hand, the hand full of love grabbed Peng Xiao's hand and held it tightly. "I really love you, I Didn't mean to say it, but I did it anyway. He looked at her affectionately, "Look at my eyes, the eyes are the heart window of the spirit, you will know that I am speaking the truth. " She looked into his eyes, she just glanced and then quickly looked away. "I feel like I'm going to be burned by your gaze Melted," she whispered, "I love you too, Ma Min, really. " He hugged her immediately, "I'm so happy, you really made me happy today. You said you love me, this sentence Makes me happy to die. "He expressed his love in this way. "With your words..." She quickly moved her hand Blocking his mouth, "Do you want to say death again?" She squinted at him, "If you are dead, then who should I love?" "You are so smart, Peng Xiao, you are so smart." Ma Min said, "I really want to say this sentence, you block me in the mouth.I love you so much. " He held her tightly in his arms, "I never thought I would have..." "There will be Nowadays? " She interrupted him, looking sideways at him in a very clever way, with a smile on her face. "Yes yes yes." He said three "yes" in a row. It was past ten o'clock when the two left the karaoke hall, which was too early for them to go back.two people open The car drove to the suburbs, "Let's go for a drive," Ma Min said with a happy face, "I don't want to sleep today," "I don't want to go to sleep either." Want sleep. "she says. "I'm glad you said that," Ma Min said, "shall we drive to the wilderness to see the moon?" "The moon represents my heart," Peng Xiao said with a smile. "Then I'll take a look at your heart," Ma Min said, and after the car got on Wuyi Road, he speeded up. The car carried the two of them out of the city quickly, and ran towards the direction of Liuyang, driving forty or fifty in no time. Kilometers, the car drove to a simple road with fields on both sides, the air here was filled with the fragrance of rice, It was filled with the din of frogs, mixed with the cries of crickets. "This is nature," Ma Min thought he could stop the car, "Nature is our mother. We are now in our mother's arms." As he spoke, his mother It really appeared in his field of vision, and he saw his mother coming from the dark place across the field, her face was hazy and her eyes were dim. The light was dim, and he walked straight towards him, and he was startled.On a night with an elliptical moon, he cast his gaze to the On the light yellow moon that is not round, "When I was a child, I heard the teacher tell the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. When I saw the moon, I thought, Why did Chang'e fly to the moon?There is no one on the moon, isn't she afraid to live alone on the moon?I found out later It's a fairy tale. " "My favorite childhood stories were stories about princes and princesses..." she said. She might want to be a princess, he thought, smiling. "When I was a kid, my dad never had the time to tell us stories." Ma Min recalled his childhood and said, "So the stories when I was young are all told by my mother. My mother likes to tell Xiaobai the most. The story of the rabbit, today I will tell the story of the little white rabbit, and tomorrow I will tell the story of the little white rabbit. I went to the little white rabbit's grandfather and told how the little white rabbit's grandfather fought desperately with the wolf and snatched a little white rabbit from the wolf's mouth. out.Later, I got bored, so I stopped listening to my mother's story about the little white rabbit. " "Does your mother like your son?" "My mother likes me the most, but my mother is a very weak woman, she is very afraid of my father's anger, she even I don't know what fighting is. "When Ma Min said this, the image of his wife clearly flashed in his eyes. Isn't the son just a replica of his mother?Thinking of this, he glanced at the moon, and he was very hesitant to spit out his wife's figure flashing. Phlegm, and looked at Peng Xiao's melon-seeded face that looked so beautiful under the moonlight. "My life is actually very sad. My Although it seems to be somewhat successful today compared to some of our contemporaries, so what?when i think of myself My wife, when I think of how busy I am, sometimes I really feel that I don’t know who I am busy with!Everyone who is busy alone With a clear purpose, I became busy purely for money, and money, I can say that I have enough money to support me for the rest of my life It's over..." "Ma Min, can we talk about something else? " "I'm only talking to you about these things. I don't say these things to others." "Really, you're just talking to me?" "People nowadays, who cares about what you think?" Ma Min said, "People now live in a superficial way, Even life has become materialized.Literature, philosophy, and art have become things that no one discusses, and where to talk If you want to make a fortune here, you talk about where you make money. Do you think you are irritable? " Peng Xiao smiled, "Ma Min, I think you are different from some businessmen. You have more things in your head than those I have come into contact with. Some businessmen are deeper.I think some businessmen, after earning a little money, think of themselves as someone, and become very shallow. " Her eyes were blue in the moonlight, and one of her hands reached out and took his. "You're my second real move Heartless man, I won't lie to you, I want to avoid you, but I can't.As soon as you broke up, put me in a position for a few days, even for a while I haven't called my pager for a week, I wonder if you really love me as you said..." Ma Min sighed deeply Mouth rough, "I love you very much. I'm really thinking, I'm going to divorce my crazy wife and reorganize a family with you court. He held her face in his hands, "I have never loved a woman so maturely and seriously." "He changed a Sitting in a good posture, he held her face to face in his arms, he turned her face over, and began to kiss her tentatively, and kissed her again She clicked, then sucked her lips obsessively for a long time. She immediately let out an anxious panting sound, which was an emotional voice, "Ma Min, Ma Min," She responded as a woman should in such an occasion, "I'm really going to collapse." Of course she broke down...
