Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
It was just dawning, and the faint morning light shrouded the entire city. In a certain residential area, it was quiet and soft.
The location of the community is good, the transportation is convenient, the surrounding environment is very good, and the buildings are new and appear to be of good quality. However, what attracts passers-by most is not these external conditions, but the people who live in the community. It is said that
They are all the technical backbone of the army and their families, known as the "backbone building".
The gate of the community has not yet been opened. Only a small side door is half open. A slender and tall figure appears. The man in military uniform bends slightly, passes through the small door, and walks towards the apartment building inside.
His steps were very steady, and his specially-made military boots made a rhythmic sound as they hit the cement floor in the community.
As he walked, the footsteps got farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the elevator of a certain unit.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived at the 7th floor. Shu Jing stepped out of the elevator, turned left, took out the key, opened the door and entered room 701.
He bought this house a few years ago, and it was given a quota by the army. When he bought it, the price was much lower than the market price. It has two bedrooms and one living room, and the layout is very good.
After he bought the house, he moved his grandparents to live there. Although they lived well in the cake shop before, he spent most of his time in the army, so the house was empty, and there were many people nearby.
There is a flower, bird, and fish market where grandparents can go shopping when they have nothing to do. Moreover, most of the residents in this community are the family members of his comrades, and there are also many elderly people. After discussing it with his sister, his grandparents agreed, and they moved here.
Already.
After the two old people moved here, they lived very comfortably and kept the house in order. He was also very happy and came back for dinner every weekend. Although his grandparents were very nagging, he felt very warm.
A few years passed by, and the days were dull and happy. His career in the army was flourishing, and there were more and more stars on his shoulders, until two years ago.
Two years ago, my grandparents passed away one after another. The only consolation is that their old age was relatively peaceful, and they passed away peacefully in the end, because the two children they were most worried about were doing well.
My sister has a happy family and career. He also studied at the National Defense University and obtained a master's degree. After returning to the army, he was promoted again. He is now a two-star officer and the leader of an important scientific research project team.
A thrilling "electronic warfare" had just ended. He and his comrades had been fighting continuously for more than forty days, and he was almost exhausted.
Military Region J is about to launch a large-scale military exercise, and the electronic information system newly developed by their project team will be officially used in this exercise. He and his comrades just handed over the new system to their superiors a few hours ago, and
Successfully approved.
After working day and night for a long time, he was finally liberated. He didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to have a good sleep, and then go to his sister's place to give gifts to Xiao Qi and Shi Qi.
He knew there was a party at Lou's house yesterday, and he should have gone to congratulate him, but he couldn't get away. Not to mention him, even his brother-in-law couldn't go home.
When he opened the door, the room was quiet. It was no longer like it was when his grandparents were still there. No one told him that he was back, no one handed him slippers, and no one prepared meals for him.
Lonely?
A little bit.
But, it’s okay. It’s really okay.
Although his family background is very ordinary, he was always taken care of by his sister when he was a child. In fact, he did not suffer much. After going to college and joining the army, his talents were fully utilized. From a young student to a
Now, having graduated with a master's degree and working in a job he likes, he is really satisfied.
After his grandparents passed away, his only remaining family member was his sister, who lived a very happy life. He felt that he had basically no desires and desires and only wanted to work hard in the army and advance to a higher level in his career.
But as he grew older, his sister began to worry about his personal problems and urged him to find a girlfriend quickly.
But for this problem, he really has no solution. From a practical point of view, he spends most of his time in the army, and the technical department is ninety-nine times male. The few women are either instructors or mentors. He really has no idea.
What is the opportunity to meet a girl of the same age? From a personal point of view, he feels that this kind of thing should be about fate. He has not met that person yet, so he does not want to fall in love for the sake of falling in love.
But my sister has urged him many times, and has even begun to think about asking him to go on a blind date. A few days ago, my brother-in-law passed by their technical department and hinted to him, saying that he was already in love, and he, as his brother-in-law, should also
Hurry up.
He knew that his brother-in-law said that after listening to his sister's words, and he also knew that he was not too young, but he couldn't force things like fate, so he should just let nature take its course!
After entering the door, he changed his shoes, Shu Jing opened the window for ventilation, then took a change of clothes from the bedroom and entered the bathroom. He wanted to take a shower quickly and then have a good sleep.
In the mirror, the dark circles under his eyes are bigger than those of a panda!
He took off his clothes and stood under the shower, washing away the dust and fatigue on his face.
Over the years in the army, he had developed the habit of taking combat baths. In less than ten minutes, he had washed himself from head to toe. After changing into his pajamas, he wiped his hair carelessly, and then fell to the bedroom.
's big bed.
He had not slept well in the past forty days, and he had not even closed his eyelids in the past forty-eight hours, so as soon as his head hit the pillow, he immediately wanted to play chess with Duke Zhou.
The curtains are drawn, the room is dark, and the quilt is soft...very, very suitable for sleeping.
But--
Dang Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
Suddenly, there was a sound of ax and hammer being struck on the wall next to the head of the bed.
He frowned subconsciously, thinking that maybe the neighbor next door was repairing the furniture and it would be fine in a while. He ignored it, picked up a pillow to cover his ears, and continued to sleep.
Click, click, click!
Kick-kick-kick-kick!
Another noise came, this time like an electric drill.
He turned over and continued to endure.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
This time the sound became a little muffled, it was the sound of the wall being smashed.
Shu Jing's brows furrowed more and more tightly, sleepiness invaded him, but encountering such a noisy sound gave him a headache, but he thought his neighbor must be repairing something and it should be done soon. After all, there are people in this community.
Due to strict management regulations, decoration is not allowed on weekends.
And there were two gray-haired old people living next door, so he didn't want to worry too much.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The noise continues and gets worse!
Shu Jing could even feel his bed shaking. He was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, so he had to sleep on the sofa in the living room with the quilt in his arms.
But as soon as he got up, before he could reach the bedroom, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound behind him, and the picture frame on the wall fell off.
"What are you doing?" Shu Jing, who had been patient all this time, finally couldn't bear it anymore. The photo in the frame was of him, his sister, and his grandparents!
He turned around and threw the quilt back on the bed, then squatted down to pick up the photo frame that had been smashed to pieces, gritting his teeth.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
The knocking next door is still going on.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but curse, took the photo frame and rushed out of the door.
He walked to the door of room 702 next door and pressed the doorbell hard.
Ring ring ring——
Maybe it was because the room was too noisy. No one answered the doorbell after it rang several times, so he rang it several times in succession.
After a while, there was finally a reaction inside, "Who is it?"
Crisp and beautiful female voice!
Shu Jing was slightly startled. Aren't there two elderly people living next door? Why was it the voice of a young girl?
While he was wondering, the door opened with a "swipe" and a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
Shu Jing was stunned for a moment. The woman in front of him was somewhere between a girl and a woman. She couldn't tell her specific age, but she could definitely be called a beauty. Not only did she have a beautiful face, but she also had an incredible figure!
If you want to ask him how he can tell what kind of figure someone has at a glance, don't get me wrong. He doesn't mean to take advantage of her, but the woman inside is wearing too cool clothes, right?
Wearing a pair of pure white sweatpants, vest shorts, and a tight fit!
The S-shaped curves were clearly exposed, and her exposed skin was not the kind of bright white that ordinary girls have, but a healthy wheat color, which made him couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Hey! What are you looking at?" the girl scolded him angrily.
Although the man in front of her was good-looking, he looked haggard and depressed, especially the two dark circles under his eyes that were more exaggerated than those of a panda, which made her wonder what he had done last night, with a look of indulgence on his face.
Excessive decline!
Shu Jing quickly withdrew his gaze and fixed his gaze on the girl's face, not daring to look any further than he should have, "Um... hello, I live in 701 next door..."
"Is something wrong?" the girl asked, raising her eyebrows.
Shu Jing originally wanted to find someone to argue with, but the situation seems to be wrong now. Why did the neighbor suddenly change? And this girl seems to be very difficult to mess with!
"Uh..." He rarely interacted with girls, and suddenly he didn't know how to speak.
"You have nothing to say? Then why did you ring the doorbell? Did you come to disturb me on purpose?" The girl's tone was very cold.
"Sao harassment?" Shu Jing raised his tone. Why did he say it like he was a lecher?
"What? You dare not admit it?" The girl looked at him with disdain and looked him up and down.
Shu Jing followed her gaze and looked at him, and was suddenly shocked!
Oh my God, he came out wearing only pajamas!
Yes, pajamas!
As the name suggests, pajamas are clothes for sleeping, but he is not that particular. For convenience, he didn't even wear a vest just now, so now he only has a pair of shorts!
After realizing his situation, Shu Jing subconsciously took a step back. He was anxious just now, and he had the impression that a pair of old grandparents lived next door!
"Ahem..." He made a fist with one hand and coughed lightly, and then quickly explained the purpose of his visit, "Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I was just sleeping, and then I heard noise next door, so I came over to take a look..."
"Who knows whether what you said is true or not? Nowadays, there are people everywhere in society, and there was an incident of exhibitionism reported on TV a few days ago!" The girl still had a cold face.
Exhibitionist?
Shu Jing was so angry that he almost lost his temper. She suspected that he, a macho man, was a traitor? After all, he was also a two-star guy, okay?
"Miss, please don't accuse good people casually! I'm not a pervert, I'm a soldier!" He looked serious.
The girl scoffed, obviously not believing it.
Shu Jing subconsciously went to take out his military ID card, but when he touched it, he didn't even have half a piece of clothing on his upper body!
"Look here! This is the evidence!" He pointed to the "81" on his shorts to show her.
The girl burst out laughing.
Shu Jing himself thought it was funny, but...but there was nothing he could do!
"Do you see clearly?" He was eager to clarify.
The girl curled her lips and nodded reluctantly. She was not stupid enough to tell whether the sign was real or fake, because her father also wore a uniform!
Shu Jing sought justice for himself, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Are you the new resident here?"
"Yes." The girl's tone was still lukewarm.
Shu Jing looked into the room along the crack in the door and saw several workers working on it. He frowned subconsciously, "Are you decorating?"
"Is there any problem?" the girl asked without answering.
Shu Jing reminded her, "Miss, today is Sunday, and it's early in the morning, not even six o'clock yet! According to the management regulations of the community, now is not the time for decoration. If you do this, it will disturb other residents, especially mine.
one."
"I know, but I asked the administrator of the community before. He said that you don't come back to live often. Your house has been vacant recently, so I applied for a decoration order. I have the administrator's approval!"
The girl took out a piece of paper from behind the door panel, and it indeed had the administrator's signature and seal on it.
Shu Jing looked at her approval note and could only accept it, but what about the broken photo frame? How should he catch up on his sleep next?
"Miss, your workers just smashed into the wall and knocked off the picture frame I hung in the bedroom. I don't want to pursue compensation, but please pay attention, okay? I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. If you don't
If I’m in a hurry, can I suspend the renovation? Can I continue tomorrow?”
"No!" The girl refused ruthlessly.
"Miss, even if you start working again in the afternoon, I haven't closed my eyes for 48 hours, and I really need to catch up on my sleep now!" Shu Jing requested.
But the girl gave him a fierce look. He was indeed overindulging! This kind of person does not deserve sympathy, especially since he is a soldier. He is simply a scum in the army!
"I'm sorry, I hire workers who are paid by the hour, so I can't stop work! Even if you pay me compensation, it won't stop!"
Shu Jing couldn't believe it. How could there be such an arrogant woman in this world?
"Miss..." He wanted to communicate again.
"That's enough!" She interrupted him, took another list from behind the door panel, and patted it on his chest, "This is the complaint form sent to every household by the property management of the community. If you have any comments, just report it.
I'm waiting for your news!"
Shu Jing was almost hurt, "Miss, we will be neighbors from now on. Are you going to be so exaggerated?"
"I just think it's better to keep things official!" The girl showed no signs of softening.
Shu Jing has a head and two heads. What kind of woman is she? She is simply more ruthless than a computer virus!
"Miss, haven't you heard of the saying 'a distant relative is worse than a close neighbor'? Maybe I will ask you for help, or you will ask me for help. Do you have to make the relationship between neighbors so tense?"
The girl waved her hand and said rudely, "I won't need your help, and I won't help you!"
She has nothing to say to this kind of person!
Shu Jing felt like his hair was standing on end with anger, but he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky if people didn't cooperate with him!
He was silent for a moment, looked at the workers inside who were under construction, and then glanced at the girl in front of him. Her cool clothes made him frown again.
The girl noticed that he was looking at her again and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Shu Jing was hurt internally, he was kind! She was a girl living in the same room with a group of strange men, and she was dressed like this, so she wasn't worried at all?
"Uh... Okay, you continue to decorate. If anything happens, you can call me. I'll be next door." He reminded tactfully.
The girl didn't answer him and just slammed the door.
Shu Jing felt helpless and returned to his apartment angrily.
The constant noise from next door made him sleepless, so he had to give up the idea of catching up on sleep and prepared to change clothes and go out to buy gifts.
But then I thought, if he left, would she be in danger?
Although decoration workers are usually introduced by decoration companies and have identity guarantees, some negative news is often broadcast on TV. Occasionally, there are break-ins and robberies, some of which involve robbery of property and others of sex.
The house here is very soundproofed, and there are only two of them on this floor. If she calls for help, no one else will be able to hear her.
Damn, he was so full that he still worried about her safety?
Shu Jing was so depressed that he crumpled the paper in his hand and was about to throw it into the trash can. But just as he raised his hand, he suddenly took it back. He unfolded the crumpled paper again and saw "complaints from residents of the community".
In the name column of "Single", there is the girl's name - Wen Xiaowan.
