I don’t know if this is a life after disaster in another sense, but I think it is.
This will make me cherish the good time I have now more, and I suddenly feel that life is really good.
However, no matter how difficult life is, we should all work hard and live strong. Only living is the greatest meaning of life.
While eating, Huang Li told me that she went to the photography store in the afternoon and said that the door was closed and there was no decoration at all.
I was a little surprised and said to her: "Maybe the decoration hasn't been designed yet. We can't rush this matter."
"It's been two days. Didn't he say that construction would start the next day?"
"Can't they find someone to design it again? What's the rush?"
"Anyway, I think he definitely doesn't want to open it. I see that a lot of things have been moved there, and even his neighbor's shop said they are planning to transfer it."
Hearing Huang Li's words, I sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
Huang Li was also quite disappointed. She said, "Thank you for telling her such a good model with all your heart and soul."
I smiled miserably and said: "Maybe he also understands in his heart that the new model I told him is risky. Rather than taking such risks and doing something that has already failed, it is better to start from scratch with a new project.
"
Huang Li did not dare to disagree: "Isn't there a saying that says where you fall, you stand up again? So, in my opinion, he still chose to escape."
"The working people at the bottom actually have very little courage in their hearts. Their ideological burdens are too heavy. If they fail once, what will happen to their families? They are not young anymore."
After a short pause, I continued: "You don't understand the hardships of the working people at the bottom, especially at my age. Others say that he will be established at thirty, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend. How can he get established?"
Huang Li shrugged, curled her lips and said, "Maybe!"
I stopped talking and lit a cigarette for myself, feeling somewhat disappointed.
I really hope he can use the method I mentioned, and I also hope he can revitalize the store, so that I will be very confident in myself.
But he didn't do that, maybe this was the right choice.
When there was silence, Huang Li said to me again: "There is another thing, which I also met in the afternoon. I thought it was quite interesting to see an old man. I played with her all afternoon."
"Ha!? You play with an old man all afternoon?!" I said, pretending to be surprised.
Huang Li then rolled her eyes at me and said, "Don't think too much. He's not that old, maybe less than sixty. He likes to play the erhu, but it's very ugly. Others hate him and won't play with him."
Play, I met him in the park."
"Then you can play with him all afternoon."
"I think some of what he said is very true, and he is also a very interesting old man. How about I take you to get to know him someday?"
"No, I don't want to meet any old man."
"Just get in touch, I guarantee you will also like chatting with him. That old man sees everything very clearly, and maybe he can teach you a lesson about your ordinary life."
I looked at Huang Li with contempt and said, "Have you been brainwashed by him? Let me tell you, you have to be careful about these old men. Some old men have no good intentions!"
"I'm not a young girl who just came out of society. I know right from wrong."
I believe that Huang Li may be able to tell which one is good and which one is bad better than me.
I finally nodded and said, "Okay, if you have time another day, please bring me to meet him."
Huang Li also nodded, and then asked me: "The photography shops are closed, do I have to find a job again?"
"It's up to you. If you want to come to our company, you can."
"No, I want to go out on my own and find a job tomorrow."
I nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more.
After a while of silence, she asked me again: "By the way, has my mother contacted you in the past two days?"
"Contacted."
"Did she say something?"
"I'm just asking about your situation. Don't you also have your mother's phone number? You can contact her yourself. It's not like you can't contact her."
Huang Li sighed and said: "She didn't tell me anything. I know she wanted to protect me, so I just asked you if she said anything to you?"
I remembered that her mother told me that her father had come back, but her mother asked me not to tell her, so I kept tight-lipped and didn't reveal a word.
I still shook my head and said to her: "I didn't really say anything, I just asked about your situation."
"Oh, okay." Huang Li looked disappointed.
There will always be disappointment, and she will always have to get through this stage.
After eating, we walked back together. When we returned to the community, the crowd had already dispersed and the fire brigade had left. Everything was calm as if nothing had happened.
This kind of calmness is very scary. It is also the first time that I have encountered a fire on the same floor where I live, resulting in death.
I'm not afraid, I just have a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over.
Huang Li seemed to be like me. She suggested that we sit in the community for a while.
There are many benches for people to rest in the community. Huang Li and I sat under a street lamp, which gave off a cold light.
"Usually there are many adults and children in the community at this time, and there are people dancing in the square, but now you see no one there." I lit a cigarette and said to Huang Li.
Huang Li looked up at the 12th floor where we lived, and said to me: "It must have been the fire in the afternoon. People were scared."
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just a little bit conflicted in my heart."
"How about I move? Anyway, I'm renting a house and I can leave at any time."
"As for that?"
"It's not that serious. As you said, I will feel a little uncomfortable in the future. After all, the fire broke out on our floor."
After a short pause, I added, "Believe it or not, most of the residents on our floor will move out."
Huang Li was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Maybe! Even if we don't move out, I think we need to find someone to inspect this house to see if there are any quality problems."
Huang Li and I were both right. When we went back, as soon as we got out of the elevator, we met a neighbor carrying large and small bags to leave.
A man was dragging the woman who was about to leave behind him and said, "Don't leave, please give me some time, okay?"
"Even if I live in a hotel outside, I won't live in this house. Our neighbors on this floor have all moved away. We are still renting a house. Why don't we leave?"
Huang Li and I froze on the spot, then looked at each other, and as expected, we had already moved away.
The man seemed a little weak. He sighed: "Qinqin, I'm still looking for a job. I don't have much money. Our house is due in two months."
The woman named Qinqin didn't wait for him to speak at all, and said: "I'm not afraid of killing anyone, but you heard it this afternoon. The person who came to inspect the house said that this house has quality problems."
The man added: "I heard that, but they also said it was a minor quality problem, and the property management company will send someone to repair it tomorrow."
The woman didn't care what the man said, she threw away a suitcase that the man was holding and ran towards the elevator entrance.
The man stood there dejectedly and sighed heavily as he watched the woman leave.?
