Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

There was a slight breeze on the roof, although the sun was shining, it was still very cold on the face, it was winter after all.Lan Hong wears a purple jacket, has short hair, and doesn't feel cold.Luo Yueli was different, she was wearing a short skirt, and while yelling Dong, she crawled into the corner, "Okay, here it is, take it out, and I'll burn it."After receiving the first one handed over by Lan Hong, Luo Yueli turned on the lighter, glanced at it, and lit it after two clicks. The flame was very strong, light red, and the figure and smile instantly turned into a wisp of blue smoke.The flame floated down from Luo Yueli's fingers and landed on the concrete floor. Before the fire was extinguished, she put down the second and third... Luo Yueli knew that Lan Hong was feeling uncomfortable and couldn't find good comfort for a while, so she opened her eyes wide. Just look at it with dumbfounded eyes, just think of it as a pile of firewood for heating.It was burning and burning, Lan Hong burned out tears, the tears were connected like beads, she didn't wipe it, she kept letting it flow, no matter how far the tears could flow, the farthest was her chin.The wind doesn't know the times, and it blows from time to time, lifting up some of the ashes of the photo paper and blowing them on their faces and hair.Blow away some of the pile of black dust on the ground, blow away some.Lan Hong said, Yueli, help me block the wind.The two squeezed a little closer to block the wind.Halfway through the fire, Lan Hong went downstairs and brought up a stack of letters and greeting cards.This time the flames became even more intense, and one of the cards sang Happy Birthday in Lan Hong's hand, as if calling for yesterday.Lan Hong felt that the sound was very harsh, and felt that it was singing a funeral song of love. She threw it into the fire cruelly, and it was still singing. After singing for a full minute, the sound of the music turned into flames. It was even bluer, faint blue, like a dream, and something drifted away with the flames.The fire burns heartache, three years of youth are burned, three years of love are burned, this is the fire of sacrifice, this is the fire of the end, and it is also the fire of rebirth.The blue-red tears dried up, no more tears flowed from the eyes, and the source of the tears went out together with the fire.Lan Hong wiped her left cheek and her right cheek, and the black fragments stuck to the tear stains made her face into a big face.Luo Yueli wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh out loud.Lan Hong handed Luo Yueli the plastic bag containing the greeting card, and opened it.What are you doing, Luo Yueli asked puzzledly holding the bag.I packed up the ashes of paper and found a place to bury them. Lan Hong's voice was very quiet, and his face was also calm. Suddenly, all the sorrow and pain turned into smoke and dust.Luo Yueli couldn't help thinking of the ashes, and couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, it was noon and the sun was still above her head, otherwise she would definitely get sick from fright.A pile of paper ashes, the ashes of love, does love have ashes?If not, why did Lan Hong bury it?Lan Hong, don't be stupid, let's go, Luo Yueli doesn't understand.Lan Hong folded her hands together, picked up the ashes of paper, poured them into a plastic bag and said, no, I don't want the wind to blow it away, if it disperses, my heart will be uneasy.

The paper ashes are packed, and the bag is full.Lan Hong found a rope to tie the mouth of the plastic bag firmly, then went to the construction site to find a short steel bar, and walked into the weed-covered space behind the building.Lan Hong hesitated and asked Luo Yueli whether to bury it under a tree or in the open space.Luo Yueli said, whatever.Lan Hong said, don't be casual, although everything is over, but let it have a home.Luo Yueli said, let's go under the tree and let the tree witness.Okay, let's go under the tree, Lan Hong made up his mind.When Lan Hong walked towards the tree, she found a Mimosa plant not far from the tree. She passed by just now, and the leaves had already closed. Mimosa is better. It knows how to feel. When you touch it, it will close its leaves shyly. Heart, women's feelings are more like mimosa, maybe they can sense my mood, this ashes may one day grow into mimosa, how wonderful.Lan Hong struggled to dig under the mimosa with a steel bar, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face was even more blurred.A small hole was dug, and Lan Hong put the plastic bag down, then picked up the loess, leaked it from between her fingers, and covered it with the loess, forming a small grave, completely burying this relationship.Lan Hong stood silently in front of the mimosa, closed her eyes for a long time before leaving Yiyi.

Luo Yueli supported Lan Hong's thin shoulders, gave her some comfort, and went back to Fu'an Building arm in arm.Lan Hong washed off the ashes on her face, and lay in a daze on the wooden sofa, her face was as if a strong wind had blown her, and her face was surprisingly quiet; her eyes were as if washed by heavy rain, clear and resentful. Luo Yueli sat down by Lan Hong, grabbed her shoulder and said, don't think so much, just make plans for the future. I was also thinking, go to the market to find a job. After two or three years, I have only worked with Xiaoli for three months, and I am a little unfamiliar.

No, let's go to her place. How to go, just come out and go again, I don't want to do this, not to mention, she is so beautiful, compared with her, I feel depressed and inferior. Alas, it’s true, a friend is a friend, she thinks highly of us, we go to sit down when we have time, if we look down on her, we don’t go, or even don’t go.Remember when we said that whoever becomes the boss has to support us for nothing, hehe, she said it herself, forget it. You really take that seriously.This is not the case, it’s okay to do a good job, it’s okay to do a bad job, it’s embarrassing, she said that it’s not inconvenient for you, but it’s okay if you don’t say it. Last time, a customer sent a fax, but they didn’t receive it for some reason. The customer didn’t receive it. Fuck, call her, she thought I was fucking.If she didn't say anything, I felt uncomfortable, and I couldn't wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

I remembered that there is no need to go to the talent market. Yesterday, probably the day before yesterday, I passed by the factory that Ma Dongdong used to work in. The factory door was pasted with a recruiting office clerk. That factory is so close to here, have you never been there? , I'll show you.Luo Yueli pulled Lan Hong to the balcony and pointed to the white factory building from the side. Go down the road on the left of Baoxin Park and walk for ten minutes. I have never been there, so to speak, I have a poor sense of direction, and I can’t find the north when I go down, why don’t you accompany me to see it now.

No hurries?It's three o'clock, tomorrow, I think I didn't have such good luck back then. Let's go now, when everyone has recruited enough tomorrow, Lan Hong shakes Luo Yueli and won't let go. Go, go, see if you're in a hurry, Luo Yueli couldn't resist Lan Hong, turned off the TV, doors and windows, put on her coat, and went downstairs arm in arm with Lan Hong. Bypass Baoxin Park, turn to the trail, and you will arrive at the Ceramics Factory.The job advertisement was still posted there bright red.Luo Yueli looked into the guard's room, but there were some unfamiliar faces, and the familiar security guards had changed several generations ago.

Luo Yueli asked Lan Hong to go to the guard room to ask, and parked the motorcycle opposite. Lan Hong was wearing white cotton rubber-soled shoes, and took small steps, floating lightly to the guard room.The window of the guard room was quite high, Lan Hong stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck, and looked inside. There were two male security guards, one was pouring boiling water, and the other was filling in something. Lan Hong was as shy as if she had just arrived in Guangdong. She felt unfamiliar, hesitated, and didn't know how to speak. What are you afraid of, go!Luo Yueli whipped her legs with the magazine in her hand, shouting.

She asked for the first time, timidly, too gentle. The doorman didn't hear it, and didn't turn around. She knocked on the window, hello. The window is open, what's the matter?Apply? Yes, she nodded, are you still recruiting clerks? You are so timid, you still apply for a clerk?Be bolder, the guard looked at her casually, come in and fill out a form, the side door opened, tore up a personnel registration form and handed it to her.After filling out the form, the guard brought her into the office building.The office is full of glass doors and windows, and two men and a woman are sitting there, both immersed in copying.The guard yelled a report, and led her to the woman respectfully. The guard called her Director Zhang. She was unattractive, with short hair and a purple factory uniform.Director Zhang took Lan Hong's resume and graduation certificate, and made a gesture of please sit down. Lan Hong sat nervously on the chair opposite, with her hands flat.Her heart was pounding, and she was even a little dizzy.After reading the documents and resume, Director Zhang looked up at her, asked her some work experience, took a written test, and took a computer typing test.Director Zhang read them one by one, was noncommittal, and finally said, you still have to work hard.

Lan Hong felt her face was hot, she trotted out of the office, and forgot to say hello to the security guard when she passed the guard room, she thought that others saw the blush on her face and her embarrassment. Luo Yueli went up to meet her, how is it? Judging by the smile on your face, you should have passed. Is my face red? No, but you came out smiling, smiling, not red. Oh?It's fine if you don't have it, you see I'm confused.Waiting for the notification again, there are still people who want to interview, oh my god, I didn't expect that I would also take the junior high school Chinese, mathematics and English exam.

The Taiwanese factory is like this, it is very strict, it is allowed on Saturdays and Sundays, and it is not allowed on other days. You see, the big iron gate is tightly sealed. Ma Dongdong works here, the high wall is deep, and Huang Caixia is lost. I can’t stand it. just left. I am not afraid of this, I am not afraid of losing my boyfriend, if others can do it, so can I. It's good to be strict, you have been lazy for so many years, you should be more strict, Luo Yueli started the motorcycle, get in the car, first go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, then go back to eat, and then go out for a stroll, Luo Yueli arranges the itinerary one by one.

Back in Fu'an Building, Hua Wanfang's white Audi had already parked downstairs. Luo Yueli's face was full of displeasure, this crazy person, why are you here, she muttered, and continued to drive to Baoxin Market. You guys quarreled too?Don't be so angry, now it's my turn to persuade you. We are not gods, gods also quarrel.Maybe tomorrow, let you accompany me to the roof to burn photos, go shopping, and leave him alone. Lan Hong admires Luo Yueli, she can endure and bend, and she is rational about things.In the vegetable market, Luo Yueli turned eastward and westward, haggling over prices, and she didn't see anything unusual, not even the slightest sense of urgency.When buying Fushou fish, Luo Yueli bargained with the stall owner for ten minutes.The stall owner still doesn't sell, Lan Hong loses patience, Yue Li, forget it.The stall owner thinks about it, don't leave, don't leave, and sell it at a loss.Turning her back, Luo Yueli said, what she wanted was Lan Hong's words.Lan Hong said that Luo Yueli was really a mother-in-law.Luo Yueli said that this is an attitude towards life. Irritability and impatience indicate that a person's cultivation is not enough, and slowness and slowness indicate that a person's thinking is mature and connotative.Slowness is a philosophy of life.Lan Hong couldn't slow down. For example, when she tried to reason with Ye Nanlin, she would get angry after only three sentences.Lan Hong said that she also needs to learn to be slow, but work can't be delayed.They went around and around again, they bought three dishes, and Luo Yueli had to go around again.Three dishes are enough, and the blue and red will not turn, and she is exhausted. Well, let's go back, Luo Yueli wanted Hua Wanfang to wait a little longer, until he was impatient, but seeing Lan Hong's weak look, she couldn't bear to go around in circles anymore. Unexpectedly, Hua Wanfang's patience is even better. Apart from saying hello to Lan Hong, he has been watching TV on the sofa with a calm expression.Luo Yueli changed her shoes, brought the dishes into the kitchen, washed her face with a towel, and went to the balcony to collect her clothes. She pretended she didn't see Hua Wanfang as if nothing had happened.Hua Wanfang ignited the lighter, lit a cigarette and smoked vigorously, pretending that Luo Yueli did not exist.It seemed that Hua Wanfang and Luo Yueli were comparing patience. No one welcomes you, and no food is prepared for you, Luo Yueli opened her mouth coldly. I didn't climb over the wall, nor broke the door, why can't I come in, I think... Luo Yueli interrupted him, thinking about it, since you are still the owner of a factory, there is nothing to think about. Listen to me, Hua Wanfang got up, grabbed Luo Yueli's shoulders, went into the room and said, don't be so loud, you are usually very gentle. Lan Hong poked her head out from the kitchen, Hua Wanfang smiled at Lan Hong, sorry, wait a minute. Just as Hua Wanfang pushed Luo Yueli to the door of the house, the phone on his waist rang, hello, who, oh, sorry, um, um, come back, come back.Hua Wanfang's voice became more and more respectful and deep, and he let go of his hands, and ran to the balcony to continue talking on the phone. After hanging up, Hua Wanfang approached Luo Yueli again. Tell yourself, who did you talk to just now, what do you think you look like, like a grandson. It's okay, a customer, the lady in the sales department, treats customers like this, the customer is God, and the customer is the master. What do you think of me?Who am I to you?Have you met my parents? Luo Yueli really cried this time, with tears streaming down her face.Luo Yueli was crying, not very pretty, shaking her hands and stomping her feet.Hua Wanfang hastily pushed and hugged her into the bedroom. Hua Wanfang put his arms around Luo Yueli and said, "Oh, it depends on the occasion when you cry. There are people here, how embarrassing." You want face, I just want status, and I'm not overdoing it, I've been with you for more than three years, what have I gained, Luo Yueli cried and quarreled and beat and beat. Don't make a fuss, I told you before that my wife is in Taiwan, and our relationship is really bad, so we got divorced.She only comes to the mainland once or twice a year, and each time lasts for ten or so days.At other times, aren't we together every day? Then we can't be like this forever, either you go back to Taiwan and break up, or I go to Taiwan to marry you, or we break up now, no matter how I see people in the future, I will be deceived by you, you liar.Luo Yueli punched Hua Wanfang again. Hua Wanfang grabbed her hand hard, don't make trouble, how about this, give me a little more time to think about it, how about it? I have to make it clear today, otherwise I will go to the factory tomorrow to find that stinky woman, and I will make you lose face in front of the whole factory. When Luo Yueli said this, Hua Wanfang pinched his chin, but became more calm. You are a threat, and let me tell you, my wife doesn't care at all. Oh! ?She doesn't care, I do.Luo Yueli's voice became even louder. The phone on Hua Wanfang's waist rang again, and this time he was walking to the bathroom, Luo Yueli snatched the phone from behind. Hello, I am Hua Wanfang's girlfriend, and you are... "Pa", before Luo Yueli finished speaking, Hua Wanfang slapped her in the face, and the phone fell to the ground. The battery and body were separated into two parts, one part got under the dressing table, and the other jumped to the corner of the door. Hua Wanfang's complexion changed suddenly, and he bowed to pick up the phone, damn it, you'll grab it when I answer the phone, this time it's all right, it's all bad. After three years together, Luo Yueli was beaten by Hua Wanfang for the first time. She covered half of her face and cried, "Well, it turns out that you don't love me at all. You have been lying to me all this time. I will fight you."Luo Yueli swung her powder fist again, and hit Hua Wanfang like raindrops.Hua Wanfang pushed her down on the bed, opened the bedroom door, and rushed downstairs in embarrassment. Lan Hong closed the door and poked into the bedroom, what's the matter, are you fighting? Didn't you see it?Men are so cruel, Luo Yueli said while wiping her tears.Lan Hong, do you think that person has left? He left, ran down, as if fleeing for his life. Luo Yueli stood in front of the mirror, combed her hair again, put on some foundation, and sat back quietly on the sofa in the living room.Luo Yueli was like a crazy woman just now, and immediately talked with Lan Hong about going to work in the factory.Hua Wanfang's slap was not light, her face was red and white, and she couldn't hide it even after applying powder.Lan Hong touched her face and said, "It was so hard, there were fingerprints."Luo Yueli said, if you hit him, let's hit it, as if you hit a wall.Lan Hong couldn't tell whether she admired Luo Yueli or couldn't understand what she said to Luo Yueli. She wanted to rub Luo Yueli.If Luo Yueli refuses to give in, it will hurt if it hurts, and it won't hurt if you are not delicate.Lan Hong chuckled, hey, I've never seen you cry, so you look so ugly when you cry.Luo Yueli shed her tears, as if the sky had shed the rain, and it was clear after a while.Luo Yueli said, if you don't cry, show him more fiercely, so that he won't feel bad.Hehe, Lan Hong smiled habitually, Hua Wanfang is so rich, you are willing to part with him.Luo Yueli said, are you really confused or fake? People from Guangzhou are not bad, why are you willing to break up.Hua Wanfang has a wife in Taiwan. He said he left. Do you really think he really left? I want him to marry me, but he refuses. He clearly wants me to be his lover for life.Lan Hong said, in this case, let's break up early, why waste each other's time.Luo Yueli said, it's so easy to break up, like you, it's not that cheap for him, he won't compensate me, I'll go to the factory tomorrow to find that stinky woman, and make a mess, don't believe it, he will definitely come to me later.Lan Hong said, you are so confident, you will be miserable if he doesn't come.Lan Hong thought that she was no worse than Luo Yueli at all, the only difference was that she was short-sighted and pungent. Hmph, Luo Yueli crossed her legs, wait and see, she leaned against her.After a while, she hummed a little tune again, went into the kitchen and lighted a fire to cook, as if nothing had happened, she was so calm that Lan Hong was surprised, and lamented that she was no longer Luo Yueli from room 411. Don't worry about getting food, I'll help you look at your phone, and I'll bring it to you as soon as it rings, Lan Hong smiled. Put it there, leave it alone, and cook for me. When the phone rang for the first time, Lan Hong reached out to take it, but Luo Yueli stopped her and said, don't answer it, let it ring, it will make me feel better after a few more rings. You know who it is, why didn't you answer? Who else but him, don't answer, let it ring, after three beeps, the phone stops ringing. I said you are careless, if you pick up a call when someone calls, it means you are anxious, which means that you have nothing to do with him, and if you have nothing to do with him, you still want money, don't even think about it!Call again later, you answer it for me, remember, you said I was busy, that's all. Hong, don't wait for the phone call, scoop rice and cook. Lan Hong stood up and was stretching, when the phone rang again. No, it won't let me cook, Lan Hong picks up the phone, hello, who's there? Oh, I was, was, um, um! After hanging up the phone, Lan Hong jumped up, it's done, it's done! Lan Hong, what did he say, you are huh. The ceramics factory called to tell me to go to work, not your Hua Wanfang. Cook, cook, get some drinks later, and congratulate you. What if Hua Wanfang doesn't call?Luo Yueli was not at ease in her heart, hoped and hoped, wanted to return to thinking, she couldn't sit and wait, this was her personality, she should actively think about how to deal with unexpected situations.Thinking about it, I accidentally cut off a piece of skin on my middle finger. The wound was not big, the blood flow was not small, and I didn't feel the pain. Strangely, the phone didn't ring as Luo Yueli expected until after the meal. No more calls, Lan Hong expressed doubts about Luo Yueli's confidence.Lan Hong watches TV, commenting on characters from time to time.Luo Yueli is not in the mood to watch TV, she always plays off Lan Hong's comments.Lan Hong relished it, thinking that her comment really resonated.
