It was me who reached out and took the cigarette from his hand. I lit it for him. He paused and lit it himself.
The two of us just smoked here quietly, and no one said anything after smoking. It was like this for a long time, but I broke the calm. I looked at this familiar face. He seemed to be the same as before, except that he looked more mature.
The vicissitudes of life no longer seem so flamboyant
"When did you come out? Why didn't you even say hello when you came back?"
"You are no longer the same person you used to be, and I am no longer the Tang Jun you used to be. After all these years, I am like this now. Why should I say hello to you? Why should I be so close to you?"
Tang Jun laughed. When I heard the name Naili, I couldn't help but feel moved.
Tang Jun took out a mineral water bottle from the side. After opening it, I could smell the wine inside. I didn't know where he got the wine from. It was a bit pungent, so he didn't care about me and started drinking it himself.
"It's been a year since I came out. I entered it at such a young age and stayed there for nearly ten years. When I came out, I was already out of touch with society. I didn't know what else to do. I had no home or relatives.
, I don’t know where I went. I tossed and turned to work. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t know how to get a serious job. When they saw that I had a criminal record, they didn’t dare to hire me. I just wandered aimlessly by myself. Anyway, I didn’t want it.
Some are used to wandering like this."
"It's not easy for a person to hang out outside. Later, I don't know how to wander around, so I wandered back to this place. After thinking about it, I still have some memories here, so I simply came back. When I came back, I wanted to find it.
People I knew in the past, people I knew before, all avoided me, but most of them had no future. They were either maimed or maimed, or they worked for people to make ends meet, or they had nothing to eat.
, or are still in prison."
"You are the best at it. We are no longer on the same social level. When we were looking for our original friends, we encountered many obstacles, and then we gave up. I originally thought about leaving here, but they all changed.
Let alone you, and I don’t have the face to look for you like this."
"Then I met Shanshan. Well, I just wanted to see what the woman I used to be doing now."
"When the results came, it was like this. She lived here by herself, and when she had nothing to do, she went to do temporary work for others."
"His parents divorced, and then no one cared about her, and no one wanted her. One of them remarried, and the other remarried. I think she is quite pitiful, so we just continued to live together from now on."
"Shanshan played too crazily when she was a child. She has already ruined her reputation. Everyone knows that she doesn't study well every day and hangs out with a group of idle hooligans. She smokes, drinks, takes drugs, and is so proficient in everything.
In this small place, no one knows anyone, and if a girl’s reputation is ruined, there is no way she can recover.”
"I have been on blind dates several times before, and the man agreed to it twice. Then he found out about her history from somewhere, and then rejected her again. She has actually changed her mind and no longer plays like that, but
Still no one believes her. The men who want to find her all want to have fun with her. If anyone wants to really marry her, then no. She wants to find a man, a down-to-earth man, to marry, but
No one dares to marry her."
"I don't know how bad she has made her reputation, but I can't blame others. If I were a man and wanted to marry a wife, even though everything happened before, I don't think anyone would be willing to marry her.
There is definitely a minority of women with such a bad record, even if they exist."
"She is actually one year older than me. We are both much older than you, so she is not married yet, and her parents have ignored her. She also owed a lot of debt because of drug abuse.
The house given to her was also sold, and all her belongings were sold. She had no place to live, and her former friends ignored her and avoided her, so he ended up living here."
"Actually, her experience is quite similar to mine. All my former friends are avoiding me."
"It's not that I'm avoiding you, maybe I am, but you haven't found the right person. You haven't looked for me at all. I've been inquiring about you, but later I learned that you had been transferred from the prison here because of a fight.
, I have no news from you anymore, I have been trying hard to find you, it is true."
Tang Jun smiled, obviously not believing it. He looked at me with an indifferent expression and took another sip of wine.
"Actually, the two of us are quite compatible at this time. She is a woman who cannot get married, and I am a man who spent his youth in prison. It is suitable for the two of us to get together. We happened to be lovers in the past.
"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Tang Jun laughed.
"You have never experienced the feeling of prison. I never want to go back to that place in my life. But do you know how difficult it is for people like us to survive in this real society? In fact, selling candied haws on a stick is quite good. Now the prices are rising.
It’s amazing, if you’re lucky, you can sell two to three hundred yuan a day.”
I looked at Tang Jun smiling, but I couldn't express the sadness in my heart.
"I remember that Shanshan didn't look like this before. Although she was dressed very flamboyantly, she was still quite beautiful. What's wrong?"
"Has a girl changed her age at age 18? Moreover, it is only in those few years that anyone is young. You have always ruined yourself, and you have ruined yourself too much. It is not that easy to recover. I heard that it was not like this at the beginning.
She was still pretty, but later on she grew up, became sensible, stopped taking drugs, smoked and drank, and dyed her hair back to its original color. She wanted to be a serious virgin and got married. For a girl, twenty-eight
Nine years old is no longer young, and if you don't get married, you won't be able to do it anymore."
"But you have a past after all, and your reputation has spread among the neighbors. What serious young man dares to want you? Life is so chaotic. Didn't I just say that it was because of myself both times?
What happened before was that she was rejected. She was very involved in love at that time, but she was still dumped."
"It was during those days that she began to give up on herself, started to smoke and drink again, took drugs when she had nothing to do, and contradicted her parents. Her parents began to ignore her completely. They had their own lives and had new children, and she
She started hanging out with that group of people, and then a gangster defrauded her of all the savings left to her by her parents, and then she committed suicide because of the debts she incurred due to drug abuse and the repossession of her house."
