Chapter 3 Part 1.3

Uncle Jian held this position for about ten seconds.A gust of autumn wind blows, and the first leaf, which represents the end of summer, slowly falls on Uncle Jian's lap.If I were replaced by a woman, this scene would be too Qiongyao.I couldn't help putting my hands in my pockets, took three steps forward, and stared into the distance.Uncle Jian sighed behind him, choked up and said, "Actually, life..." Suddenly I felt a cool wind blowing around me, accompanied by a "swish", followed by a "pop", and then Uncle Jian's "ah", all the people on the playground couldn't bear to open their eyes. The instigator was still grinning, half-closed his eyes and shrunk his neck. Finally, there was a "bang" in the silence.

I looked back and saw that Uncle Jian's wheelchair had overturned. It was a tragic thing, but I couldn't help laughing.I hurried forward to help the wheelchair.Uncle Jian trembled and finished the second half of the sentence: "...so impermanent." The guy who kicked the ball hurried over, pretending to be concerned and asked, "Brother, is there anything wrong?" Uncle Jian said: "Hands, hands, hands." Only then did I realize that the wheelchair had crushed my hand when Uncle Jian fell down.The place where it was pressed has swollen a lot. The people around gathered around one after another, asking if there was anything wrong.After seeing how swollen his hand was, the team leader said, "Wang Chao, take him to the hospital."

The crowd slowly dispersed.From time to time, someone muttered: "What kind of footwork, even the disabled are not spared." On the way to the hospital, I said, "Young man, are you from the national team?" Wang Chao said, "Don't laugh at me. I'm also on the school team." I said, "You are strong enough. Look at this car, how stable its chassis is and how low its center of gravity is, it can kick you over with a single kick." Wang Chao smiled and took out his wallet to count the money without saying a word.Uncle Jian's lips were already pale, and he said, "You don't need to pay me, you just take care of my doctor."

Wang Chao said, "Yes, how much money do I have?" Uncle Jian said: "It doesn't cost much, just take a film. I just can't use my hands." I comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, dislocation, dislocation." The result of the hospital's examination was that Uncle Jian's left hand was fractured. A week later, Uncle Jian returned to the Yangtze River Hotel with a plaster cast.Since the last fall, the aunt of the Yangtze River Hotel has not asked us for money.Aunt said that making money is not her goal, her goal is to compete with the nearby Garden Hotel and reduce their business.The aunt said that the only regret is that there were originally two rooms competing with them, but now there is only one room left.I said, "I'm sorry to have weakened your competitiveness."

The aunt said: "It's okay, it's right to save lives and heal the wounded." Not only that, Uncle Jian's medical expenses are all paid in advance by the aunt.For this matter, we are grateful.Uncle Jian said: "Auntie, when the two of us make money, we will return it to you twice." The aunt said: "It's okay, young people nowadays, don't talk about making money, just don't make trouble." I thought, if one day Uncle Jian and I were taken away by the police who broke into the house, how sad my aunt would be. In this accident, Wang Chao paid five thousand in advance.This person later became the first same-sex friend we met in this place.Unfortunately, Uncle Jian's two friends, one me and the other him, broke one of his legs and one hand.

Time is very slow. In my eyes, time represents the recovery of Uncle Jian's legs and hands.I am so idle that I feel the time dragging.But the strange thing is that although it comes slowly, it goes quickly.When I look back, I can't remember what I did yesterday.The main reason is that I didn't do anything yesterday. Uncle Jian has a more relaxed life than me, because his time is referenced.For example, the day before yesterday his leg could only lift one decimeter high, but today he can lift two decimeters.In his eyes, time has been perfectly unified with space. Wang Chao is one of the thousands of college students in China who are dawdling around.His surname was "Wang" with no personality, followed by "Chao" with no personality, so his life was similar to his name.

Wang Chao has been in college for three years, and sometimes he would pretend to lament that three years have passed in a blink of an eye.This person was full of pursuits before entering university, and he is also full of pursuits now, but there is a slight difference between the two.When he was in high school, he hoped that he could become an airplane pilot, and later he was admitted to a technical university majoring in geological exploration. It was passed around that his high school classmates thought he was going to dig coal.This is definitely a world away from the ideal.After three years in college, now the pursuit is much more than before: the head of the propaganda department, the beauty of the art department, the treasure of the model team, the main force of the softball team, the intern girl who opened a new fast food restaurant, school gifts The waiters in the shop... are all his targets.

I asked him, "Which is better?" He said: "From the point of view of body, the one from the model team is better, but the one from the publicity department draws very well, while the one from the literature and art department sings very well, the softball team has a strong body, the girls in the fast food restaurant are simple and cute, and the waiter's service is very good." The attitude is better, so it’s hard to choose.” I asked, "So which one do you want?" "It depends on who gets me first," he said. I was deeply impressed by his love attitude."But there are problems now," he said.

I asked, "What's the big deal?" "Everyone has a boyfriend," he said. I said "Oh" and said this is indeed a problem. He said: "But today's female students, as long as their boyfriends are not around, everyone is promiscuous." I asked, "Then who are their boyfriends?" He said: "The boyfriend of the model team belongs to the male model team. This is really nothing new. You say these two idiots, thinking that people will be envious when they go out, but they are actually idiots. Two wild models, walking in a show You can only get 30 yuan. This society is very realistic. This woman will not give up that man within a year. What's the use of being tall? Parents are tall and mother Gao is not guaranteed to give birth to a Yao Ming. Gao can't be eaten ..."

Uncle Jian, who has been recuperating by the side, said: "Xiao Chao, you can't say that." Wang Chao said: "But this society is very realistic." Uncle Jian moved a little, lying on his side, with his butt facing Wang Chao, and said, "Then tell me, who is the boyfriend of the little girl from the simple gift shop?" Wang Chao said, "That woman didn't pursue her either. Her friend is an employee of the fruit shop across the street." Uncle Jian said: "That's not very good. Outsiders, it's not bad to have a stable job." Wang Chao said: "This place is so polluted that even chickens can't live for a year. It's not as good as people's hometown. I really don't know what to do here. I will go to Shanghai."

I said, "Don't we all come here from Shanghai?" Wang Chao said, "Yeah, I haven't figured out what you guys are here for." Uncle Jian said: "Shanghai is so big, I feel like nothing in it." Wang Chao said solemnly: "Yes, yes, men are most afraid of this feeling." I asked: "Then tell me about the department head of your literature and art department." Wang Chao said: "Fuck, that's also a slut, and he's on good terms with a man whose father drives the biggest KTV here and has four Mercedes-Benz at home. His son drives a Lexus and comes to school every day. The gatekeepers didn’t stop me either. My father drove a Santana, and he usually couldn’t come in if he wanted to bring me a quilt.” Uncle Jian said: "Why doesn't that man drive a Mercedes-Benz? There are so many people in the family. It's not classy to drive a Japanese car." Wang Chao said: "You will know in a while. That woman's brain is also broken, and she can't marry you. At most, she will treat you to a few meals, and you are not eating alone. It is probably the man himself. I want to eat, I have to eat anyway, it’s not bad, I really don’t know what that girl is up to! Riding a Lexus? Crazy, the car doesn’t belong to me, I’m an idiot thinking that everyone in the school will envy it, fuck, other prostitutes want more As for the money, that idiot pretended to be a jerk, and in the end he still took the bus, and the air-conditioned bus died." Uncle Jian said: "You are too ruthless. People like this, but you can't help it. People feel that they are very satisfied with a Lexus, and it is not impossible. She rides her Lexus, you ride your eternal, the division of labor in this world Very clear." I pressed, "What about the softball team?" Wang Chao was heartbroken and said, "Beast!" Uncle Jian was surprised and said: "He is only a bit stronger, how can he be a beast?" Wang Chao said: "The man who drives the Lexus is a beast, not even an athlete." Uncle Jian said: "Oh, the softball guy also likes Lexus?" Wang Chao said: "The one who catches the softball is a Mercedes-Benz, so it's not easy to pass through. It's good to be rich, and the two girlfriends live in the same building and won't find each other." Uncle Jian said: "You soak two and ride your Yongjiu every day, and no one will notice." Wang Chao said: "It's okay. I still have a Phoenix, which was stolen a few months ago. Two days ago, a fool was riding on the street. I caught him and asked for his car back. Now I also have two cars, one Use it on a sunny day and use it on a rainy day.” I asked, "What about the propaganda committee?" Wang Chao said: "I have a boyfriend, we have been together since the first year of high school. I can only wait." Uncle Jian asked, "What are you waiting for?" Wang Chao said: "Wait for their seven-year itch." I smile.Uncle Jian turned over to miss his girlfriend. Wang Chao said: "You are really weird, and you don't call anyone. Forget it, just figure it out. Isn't it just a pile of meat, a few blood vessels and a few internal organs? What's so rare, we There are also." The season is Mid-Autumn Festival.Uncle Jian and I have not been back for a long time.I pushed Uncle Jian for a walk on the street.Wang Chao rides here several times a week, but as the weather gets colder, he comes less and less frequently.After turning a corner, I arrived at the parking lot of the big hotel next door. I felt that during the time when Uncle Jian was not healthy, the number of people who got rich increased a lot.Uncle Jian was very depressed, thinking that there are no coal mines here, why are there so many rich people! I pushed along the blind road all the way, slowly pushing Uncle Jian out of the bustling place. Pushing it to a store with an IP phone written on it, Uncle Jian suddenly said, "Stop." I was startled and stopped in a hurry. Uncle Jian asked, "Where is the train station?" I said, "It's far away. Why do you want to go?" Uncle Jian said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you can make a call. I want to make a call to my girlfriend." I said, "Okay, it's time to fight." Uncle Jian hesitated and said, "Aren't you afraid that we will be arrested?" I said, "What are you afraid of? I don't think I've done anything wrong, so I can't keep hiding like this." Uncle Jian said: "I have seen a movie, it seems that the call does not exceed one minute, and the other party cannot trace the detailed address of the call." I said, "Did you watch American movies?" Uncle Jian said, "Yes." I said, "It takes about three minutes in China. Just call." Uncle Jian asked me to push him forward, but suddenly turned his head and said: "But she is a mobile phone, which can display the number. If the area code is displayed, it will be finished?" I said, "What are you afraid of? The limelight has long passed. Do you think our police really care about solving crimes? Most of the cases are solved incidentally. For example, if you catch someone stealing something on the street, you end up killing someone after being interrogated. Generally That's how murder cases are solved." Uncle Jian said, "I don't believe it." I stepped forward and said, "Hit it. It's okay." Uncle Jian picked up the receiver and hung it up again. I asked: "What's the matter?" Uncle Jian said, "What did I say?" I said, "How do I know." Uncle Jian said: "How about I say hello? No, she will definitely cry when she receives my call. We have to think about it." I said, "People must ask where you are." Uncle Jian said: "Then I'll say, you don't have to worry about where I am. I'm fine, don't worry." I said, "People must say they miss you." Uncle Jian said: "Then I miss you too." I said, "When are you coming back?" Uncle Jian said, "I can't come back for the time being." I said, "I believe you, you're innocent. It must have been done by the kid you escaped with." Uncle Jian said: "No, this matter will be clarified. He is my brother, you can't say that." I said: "Then you have to pay attention to safety, your baby will be born in the twelfth lunar month." Uncle Jian glared at me and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you. Take care of yourself." I said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone you called. It's almost three minutes. Bye." Uncle Jian said: "Okay, okay, that's it. I guess it's those few words. Hit, hit, hit." Uncle Jian picked up the phone, his hands trembling slightly, drooling with excitement.When the last few digits were dialed, Uncle Jian was already so nervous that his cheeks twitched wildly.After solemnly dialing the last number, Uncle Jian moistened his throat.At the same time, Qi Qin's "About Winter" came from the broken stereo in the shop without losing the opportunity.But Uncle Jian couldn't care less about the mood, and hurriedly waved to the proprietress to keep her voice down. I had already started to hold my breath when Uncle Jian dialed the first number, and now I am happily suffocating to death.But at the most critical time again, I bowed down to look at Uncle Jian. Suddenly Uncle Jian's expression changed. I asked: "What's wrong?" Uncle Jian said, "Empty number." I said, "How is that possible?" Uncle Jian said: "Try it again, it may be a mistake." This time, it took less than a second for Uncle Jian to press the eleven keys. But still blank. I said, "Maybe it's been a long time since I called. Did you remember the wrong number?" Uncle Jian said: "Impossible, impossible. If I even remember the number wrong, there is no need to call that person." I said, "Let's do it one last time." Uncle Jian tried again.Failed. Uncle Jian sat for a while and said, "Go back to the house." I pushed Uncle Jian back to Changjiang No. 1.Qi Qin's voice from behind has gradually faded away.Uncle Jian's face was full of disappointment.Disappointment is a very abstract thing, it is not like happiness, as long as you grin, everyone knows you are happy.But he was so disappointed that his whole face revealed the message that the owner was very disappointed, that was really disappointing.Anything abstract is extremely powerful when it is concrete.Uncle Jian didn't speak along the way. In the open space in the city center, more than 10,000 people were crowded to buy instant lottery tickets.We passed through these common people and arrived at No. 1 Yangtze River.Uncle Jian said suddenly: "We still have to rent a house outside." Then everyone fell into deep thought. Speaking of houses, I think of a girlfriend I had earlier.The girl is from another place, she is three years older than me, she is always full of crisis, and she is determined to get married within a year, her urgency and strict time limit make people feel as if a woman is 25 years old. If you can't get married successfully, you will explode.It's hard to imagine how I could fall in love with someone like that.Her affection for the house is beyond my comprehension.This person rented a house near his activity place, and the layout was extremely cumbersome, making people lazy to buy another house in this life so as not to move so many things.But she gritted her teeth about the rented house. If it wasn't for another handsome guy she admired living next door, she felt that she would set fire to the house at any time, just because it wasn't her own.And her parents must always instill in her that she must find a man in Shanghai who has a house and no mortgage to marry.But we still strangely started a relationship.She said she felt that we would definitely be able to drive Mercedes-Benz and live in villas in the future.Although I can't open Alto to buy affordable housing, I am very happy that she can confirm my potential so much.Later, I finally figured out that it was a fortune teller who told her that she could meet a noble person who could be entrusted to her at a certain time and place on a certain day of a certain year.Daxian also said that the man might not have much money at the time, but within ten years he would definitely be able to make a fortune. Unfortunately, on that day of the month that year, I appeared in that inexplicably unlucky place. During the few months I was with her, I felt her insecurities deeply.I can also understand why she wants to have her own house so badly.But one day I suddenly said to her: "Even if I have money in the future, I don't want to buy a house. What a meaningless thing it is to own a house." She ran away with a "swoosh", and as of press time, I have never seen her again. There are really a lot of people in the world who don't feel safe, I think, and I think most people are like this.It's just that I don't understand why people have to entrust these so-called sense of security to some external things, such as houses or deposits in the bank.The earth is so precariously suspended in the universe that earthquakes, wars, economic collapses, and the like are ready to take what we have outside of us.So I don't understand why these things that are about to be lost at any time can bring people a sense of security. But I have never been able to figure out what can bring us a sense of security.I asked my friends at school about this and the answer was basically the same - you idiot, of course condoms give us a sense of security. Thinking about it now, this answer seems to be correct.We are always looking for answers to questions, and there are always many correct answers to questions, but creatures seem to only want to get the only one, that is to say, we don't want these answers, we just look forward to the result of a question. For the previous question, I was not able to get the result. I think inner peace is the source of security.The only advantage of a house with only 50 years of property rights is that it costs less than a hotel.But in fact this is just a fifty-year-old hotel.New China has only been established for more than 50 years. All wordy ideas boil down to no money.If I have money, I will live in a five-star hotel every day, and I want two rooms, and one room is empty.The meaning of vacating that room is that I am happy to see that many people are anxious at the front desk during holidays because there is no room. Looking at the present, the kind aunt has let Uncle Jian and I live for free for many days.And because it is a nail household, Dama's hotel often cuts off water and electricity accidentally.The aunt said that whenever there is a power cut during peak power consumption, her place is always the first to be cut off.Aunt murmured that, as mentioned above, power consumption is tight, and various industrial units and hotels and entertainment venues have to take turns to give up power within a time limit, but no matter whether it is the turn of the factory, hotel or entertainment venue, Auntie’s Yangtze River Hotel is always the first to bear the brunt of power outages.Aunt's classic exclamation made me and Uncle Jian never forget—— I understand the government's policy, but I only consume one kilowatt-hour of electricity here a day. Of course, the most important thing is that we can no longer live in vain, which makes our conscience very sorry.What's more, staying in one place for a long time for several months, no one looks like a wanted criminal!We should cunningly change places often. Uncle Jian said: "What is the renting method for renting a house?" I said, "Bet one and pay three." Uncle Jian said: "That is to say, you need to prepare at least one thousand. After paying the aunt's advances, you need at least five thousand." I said, "Almost. Where can I get it?" Uncle Jian said: "Is it only possible to rob? Maybe they will be put in prison without trial if they are arrested. It's the safest place." I said: "We are two foreigners who hang out every day and don't work, and you are injured like that again. I suspect that people here have suspected us for a long time." Uncle Jian said: "Move, move, start a new life, I want to find a girlfriend." I said, "What about the money?" Uncle Jian took out two dollars and said, "Go to the instant lottery ticket at the door and buy a lottery ticket, maybe you will have money." I decided to be crazy, pick up the two dollars and leave.A new platform was built on the open space, and a brand new Santana was parked on the top as the grand prize.Below the table is a row of lottery ticket sellers, and in the middle there is a speaker with a red ribbon hanging on it, which seems to be one of the prizes.I was sweating profusely until I squeezed into the center, bought one, opened it, and the pattern inside was a pineapple.I asked the salesman, "What is a pineapple?" The salesman said, "Go to the prize redemption desk over there and see for yourself." With a pineapple in my mouth, I squeezed into the crowd again.Some people kept repeating words: cherries, strawberries, watermelons... There were still people holding a pile of towels and holding a hundred dollars to the point of sale.I stopped and saw that the man bought another fifty, and won three apples.The man shook his head and rushed towards the prize redemption desk.I followed behind him, only to see that he was dejected and took three more towels, including at least ten in his hand.As soon as the guy turned around, he was stopped by a flushed and sweaty young man.The young man took out the money and said, "Great, I finally saw a towel seller." I handed the pineapple to the staff, and before I recovered, I was dragged to the podium with a big red flower.There are gongs and drums all around.I only heard the master of ceremonies say: "Congratulations to this young man, he has won a cash prize of 50,000 yuan." I am elated. Suddenly, a staff member went up and said a few words to the master of ceremonies.The master of ceremonies hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, this enthusiastic fan got a grand prize of 5,000 yuan. Our staff made a mistake, 50,000 yuan should be a big pineapple, but this young man got a small pineapple." I took 5,000 yuan and walked back to Changjiang No. 1.I lament that life is really impermanent.When I was extremely unlucky and my life was not going well, I never sighed like this. I think this is normal.But this time I finally came back to the light and was proud of the spring breeze, and I have such a sigh again.When I gave the money to Uncle Jian, Uncle Jian also sighed.And I've found that no matter how noble a person you are, it's always better to get a windfall than to get your own labor.
