February 14th, Thursday, is Valentine’s Day in the West.
Although no one knows this at this time, this day must be full of an unspeakable sourness for Hong Yanwu.
It's been like this since I woke up in the morning and accidentally saw the calendar card on the wall when I was washing my face.
Although he didn't want to and didn't want to, he couldn't help but be moved by the scene and think of "Sugar Heart". He couldn't help but open the notebook containing the photo of the two of them.
The happy smiles of the two people in the photo have become yesterday's memory, which made his heart twitch and hurt even more. His concern was uncontrollable.
So he looked at it carefully, and after stroking it for a long time, he suddenly closed it...
The fried cakes, eggs and millet porridge brought by his sister were placed on the table. He didn't want to eat them. But wasting them would not be a disappointment to his relatives. So he could only swallow the porridge in three or two mouthfuls and eat it as if it were a shovel.
Got half a pancake.
After that, he didn't know what to do. He walked around Chen Liquan's house and walked to the yard to look around. He felt cold everywhere.
From now on, all he can do is smoke.
Yes, he couldn't read the book in his hand at all, but he threw cigarette butts all over the floor, and the air in the room was smoked blue by him, but there was still nothing in his heart, and he felt uncomfortably empty.
He thought for a moment and found no other option, so he could only put on his coat and walk on the street outside to get some fresh air.
The air outside is really nice, fresh and cold.
The scenery is also good. The snow has stopped, but the snow has not melted yet. The branches are frozen, and the road is still white. Pedestrians walk carefully and hard, and cyclists often slip and fall, but every face
They were all very happy, with beaming expressions.
In fact, it’s no wonder, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and the Spring Festival holiday system has been fully restored for this year’s Spring Festival. From then on, people across the country, regardless of region or unit, have two long holidays every year. During the Spring Festival,
National Day is celebrated for three days each.
It can be said that the people at this time were so simple. Although they had been exhausted for a long time and lived a single holiday, they were so happy that they were only slightly better than before. If they could really enjoy the statutory holidays in 2012, I'm afraid they would
I'll be so happy that I can laugh for a whole year...
In addition, the scene on the street also made Hong Yanwu feel even more lucky - thanks to this era, no one celebrates Valentine's Day, otherwise, if the streets were full of couples, his heart would definitely be even more painful.
Hong Yanwu didn't want to go to the busy city, where there were movie theaters and his people. So he just walked into "Taoranting Park", looked at the snow-covered scenery, and walked around the frozen lake.
But it's strange, I just want to hide away and be afraid of being stimulated. But it just happens to be the opposite.
One reason is that there are only old people in the park at this time, and most of them are old men. Without exception, the uncles all looked at him with serious expressions. This kind of almost critical look made him very uncomfortable, and they all thought of him as a man.
Treat an unemployed young man who is wasting his time.
Another reason is that the small auditorium inside Taoranting Park has been turned into a cinema selling tickets at this time. What's more, the film he is most taboo about at this moment is the newly released "The Forgotten Corner of Love".
What was even more annoying was that just when he walked to the door of the auditorium on the west bank of the lake and wanted to pass quickly, the movie theme song "The Corner" happened to be played from the cinema.
"Who knows this place in the corner? Love has forgotten it for a long time. It once wandered and wandered by the village. Why has its voice been lost since then..."
The more he fears, the more he gets more and more. He has been teased by "Destiny" again!
And just when Hong Yanwu was sullen and couldn't help but sigh, something unexpected happened to him.
Almost at the same time, there was a melancholy voice under the big willow tree by the lake, lamenting as if echoing him.
At this moment, each other couldn't help but look at each other. As a result, both of them were stunned.
Because the person looking at Hong Yanwu turned out to be Song Guofu, whose face turned from sadness to surprise.
Yes, there are coincidences in real life. And coincidences are like expressions in literary and artistic works. Isn't this what happened to their chance encounter?
In fact, it's more than that. What's particularly incredible is that they are actually a pair of brothers who are in love, and they are both frustrated in love.
Qingqing: Song Guofu hasn't shown up recently because Fang Ting dumped him. Fang Ting made a better choice and ran into the arms of others without hesitation, climbing up a high branch.
This matter made Director Song and his family very angry. Song Guofu had to face complaints from his mother and ridicule from his sister when he stayed at home. Even Director Song sighed angrily when he looked at him.
Of course Song Guofu couldn't stand this. He was already troubled enough, but now he was even more troubled. But he felt embarrassed to talk to a friend.
He wanted to tell Hong Yanwu about this several times, but he went back when he reached the door. If he hadn't encountered it in this situation today, he didn't know how long he would have been holding it in his heart.
Song Guofu described it very simply, because the most important topic between men is about their women.
Hong Yanwu had also expected that there would be such a day, and a woman like Fang Ting would not stay with Song Guofu for a long time. Objectively speaking, this was not a bad thing for Song Guofu. But he had to comfort him and give him a sincere love.
pity.
Because in addition to being good friends with each other, his state of mind at this time also enabled him to deeply appreciate the pain in Song Guofu's heart. He even felt the same kind of depression that he had nowhere to talk to.
So he also took the initiative to tell what happened to him. Now, both men seemed to be in a more cheerful mood.
Maybe it's because they all feel that they are living a miserable life, but now they all feel that their friends are living a more miserable life than themselves. This is completely in line with the saying, "We are all downgraded people in the world", we have sympathy for each other.
Both of them had no intention of walking around in the park anymore. Besides, it seemed weird for two old men to enjoy plum blossoms and snow together in the cold winter months. Naturally, they thought of going somewhere else.
But where to go? "Nan Lai Shun", "Xinguang Restaurant", "Cherry Orchard Restaurant", all nearby restaurants were mentioned by them, but in the end they all rejected them.
Because restaurants open and close at certain hours. At that time, it was common practice to have two shifts, so it wasn’t that they didn’t open during meal times. It was still early, so they couldn’t be used as telegraph poles in front of other people’s houses, right?
Besides, they both had no appetite at all. They just wanted to drink some wine and chat. But if they really wanted to go to a restaurant, the business environment was so chaotic that it was impossible to talk.
And there are so many people who have to stand and wait to be seated, and you are allowed to sit there and drink endlessly? Even if the people in the restaurant don't care about you, the diners will have to "boil" with you, I'm sorry.
So the grocery store on Zixin Road became their final choice. The two of them left side by side.
