In Jiangbei City, Jiangbei Province, China
It’s November at this moment, the night is cold and windy, people on the road are in a hurry, after all, it’s already 10 o’clock in the evening, and the weather is so cold.
As the capital city of Jiangbei Province, Jiangbei City is only a small third-tier city, but it is still a provincial capital. It also has what a big city should have, and the consumption level has always been high.
There are 4 counties and 5 districts in Jiangbei City, and our story starts from the new district in the 5 districts…
Xinghua Road in Xinjian District, this road is a commercial street in Xinjian District, the street is full of food, drink and entertainment, and there are still crowds of people at night, and the snacks and supper shops beside the road are full.
But the buildings here are dilapidated, each building has only 7 floors, no elevator, no property, not even a parking space, the age of the house is more than 20 years, people living here look forward to it every day It was demolished here, but there was no movement for a long time.
………
In the residential building, the dim street lights were flickering, and it was quiet. Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep.
And the third floor of one of the buildings is still brightly lit through curtains.
“Honey, come on… Please…” An eager and slightly obscene voice sounded.
A young man with black-rimmed glasses was wearing pajamas, rubbing his hands and smilingly looking at the woman lying on the bed.
“I’m tired, go to bed.”
The woman on the bed said in a cold voice.
“Tired, Tu Sisi, tell me, where are you tired? Ah~ You are at home with your son, cooking and washing clothes every day. You are more tired than I am at work. Tell me yourself, how long have we not been together? That?” Gu Xia asked with a sneer when he heard the words.
Tu Sisi sat up with a frosty face when she heard the words, her long dyed flaxen hair was draped behind her, and her delicate face collapsed. She first glanced at the child sleeping beside her, and saw that he was fast asleep , was not woken up, so he raised his head and said in a cold voice: “I just put Cheng Cheng to sleep, why? You just want to wake him up? What else do you think about all day long besides that shit?”
“Hehe…yes, that’s all I can think about. I’m exhausted from work every day. Isn’t it normal to think about that at night? Once, once! We are only under 30 years old, but we are living the life of the elderly.” Gu Xia sneered.
“It’s just you working hard? You come back every day in the middle of the night. When you get home, the alcohol and smoke on your body can suffocate people to death. When you come back, you either fall asleep or go crazy with alcohol. You are working hard? I haven’t asked you sometimes. Does it smell like a woman’s perfume? You lost your temper with me here, if it wasn’t for Chengcheng, I would have divorced you a long time ago.” Tu Sisi glanced at Gu Xia contemptuously, and asked with a sneer.
Gu Xia felt that he was about to explode, he suddenly felt what he was working so hard for!
I run business every day, and my feet are blistered. At night, I have to drink and laugh with clients like a grandson. Perfume smell, there must be more or less women on some occasions, but I always play on the occasion, never messing around outside, unexpectedly, when my wife says it, it feels like eating, drinking and playing every day.
Gu Xia has never been so angry and angry like today. In the past, even if his wife refused to let him make out with her, Gu Xia could at most solve it by himself, but he couldn’t accept his exhausting work every day. Mortgage, but still not understood, and the word “divorce” can be easily said? Gu Xia felt sad in his heart, he didn’t know why it happened like this?
“Hahahaha~~ Divorce? Divorce is good! I knew you had this idea a long time ago, okay, I will fulfill you tomorrow, you go to your Hu Chao, I know you have always missed him.” Gu Xia laughed like crazy.
Gu Xia frantically put on her clothes, and then walked out of the house.
When Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia put on clothes and went out, even though she regretted what she just said, but when she saw Gu Xia went out, she felt angry again, and said loudly to Gu Xia’s back: “Okay, we will divorce tomorrow Go, whoever doesn’t go is the grandson.”
“Kacha~”
She was answered by the sound of the door closing.
“Ah~”
Tu Sisi threw the pillow on the ground, lying on the bed sobbing softly…
………
In the house opposite Gu Xia’s house, there was a strong smell of gas from the kitchen. The leather pipe of the gas tank had a small hole, and it was leaking air. It is estimated that it was not turned off after cooking at night. air, causing an air leak.
……
After Gu Xia went out, she tightened her clothes, but she still felt extremely cold. She looked at her watch, and it was almost 12 o’clock. Gu Xia took out her mobile phone and wanted to call the few friends she had. , I want them to come out to drink and talk with me, but my fingers haven’t dialed those numbers for a long time.
Gu Xia knew that if he called, they would definitely come out, but it was already late at this time, and in addition to the fact that the few people used to drink and play until late, their wives had long been angry, and every time they met He was cynical to himself, and the relationship between their husband and wife was not very good because of this. If he asked them to come out now, they would definitely come out, but Gu Xia didn’t want their husband and wife to quarrel, so he didn’t make a phone call. Brother, you have to consider them. Everyone is not an unmarried young man, so you have to think clearly about everything.
Gu Xia walked downstairs to a night snack shop that he often went to. There were many people in the night snack shop, but there were still two empty tables. As soon as Gu Xia entered the door, he heard the crisp voice of the proprietress: “Yo… Gu Xia is here, sit here, you haven’t been here for a while, are you alone today?”
“Well, give me a sheep scorpion, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of Niulanshan.” Gu Xia said with a smile.
“Okay, wait.” The proprietress finished speaking, twisted her waist with a smile and went to place the order.
After a while, the steaming pot was brought up, hung on the hook above the table, lit with charcoal, and a scent came out.
Eating lamb scorpion cold today is not to mention how refreshing it is, the strong meat flavor, spicy sweat, Gu Xia is eating sheep scorpion while drinking white wine, it is very refreshing, but it is a pity that I am alone , but just after a quarrel with my wife, it’s not bad to drink alone.
I don’t know how long I’ve been drinking, but there are not many customers left in the supper shop, and there are already two empty bottles in Niulan Mountain in front of Gu Xia. The pot has already been eaten.
Gu Xia lowered his head and looked at the table, his eyes wandering…
This store was the first place where I and my wife met. At that time, I was 18 and she was 17. She followed her best friend Wang Qian, and she was dragged here by Li Sicheng because Li Sicheng was chasing Wang Qian. Li Sicheng was embarrassed to come alone, so he dragged himself over.
Gu Xia vaguely remembered that it was December of 2008. The weather was very cold, only two or three degrees. On that day, Tu Sisi was wearing a knee-length white down jacket. The grievances that she was forced to disappear disappeared in an instant, and Gu Xia’s heart was pounding hard. It was the sound of heartbeat. Gu Xia had never been in a relationship before. In class, I just play games and have no time to fall in love.
At that meal, Gu Xia and Tu Sisi seemed to have known each other for a long time. They heard Gu Xia and Tu Sisi chatting all the time, while Li Sicheng and Wang Qian, who were the protagonists, stayed until the meal was over. Neither said a few words.
As for the following plot, Gu Xia and Tu Sisi got together naturally, and the two got tired of being together every day. After Tu Sisi graduated from university, the two got married, and then Gu Xia started to run business every day. , Tu Sisi became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and then took care of the child at home.
Gu Xia doesn’t know why the two people who were in love at the beginning turned into what they are today?
Is it my fault? Or she has changed, Gu Xia doesn’t know, and can’t figure it out.
“Miss Boss, bring me another bottle of wine.”
Gu Xia raised his head and shouted drunkenly.
“Gu Xia, are you still drinking? You’ve already drank two bottles. Besides, it’s almost 2 o’clock now. If you don’t go home, you’re not afraid that your wife won’t let you go to bed!” The proprietress sat straight in Gu Xia. The other side laughed.
“Xiaoyun, go, let the kitchen bring a pot of mutton over here, and then you all get off work, and you will clean up tomorrow.” The proprietress ordered, and after she finished speaking, she walked to the bar and brought over a bottle of wine.
“Gu Xia, what’s wrong with you today? Drinking alone, what can I tell my sister? I’ve known you for so many years, is this the first time I’ve seen you so depressed?”
The proprietress poured a glass of wine for Gu Xia and himself, and looked up at Gu Xia in front of him. He knew that Gu Xia was already drunk. The drunk Gu Xia said, this kind of people who drink alcohol is not good, and the more they drink, the whiter they are. I heard people say that the liver function is not good for hangovers, and it is very bad for the body. Originally, the proprietress wanted Gu Xia to go, but look at him I was in a bad mood, so I had no choice but to let him go, and I would send him home later, since his family knew him anyway.
“Sister Li, do you think women will change when they get married?” Gu Xia asked drunkenly.
“Marriage is hard to talk about, and I can’t explain it clearly. My sister can’t read the scriptures at home well, so how can I explain it to you!” Sister Li took a sip of wine and sighed.
“Hehe, nearly 10 years! I have been with her for almost 10 years, how many 10 years are there in my life! We don’t know why we are getting farther and farther.”
As Gu Xia spoke, his eyes were moist, he picked up the quilt and drank the white wine inside in one gulp, shaking his head constantly.
“Patter~his…”
Gu Xia handed the proprietress a cigarette, then lit it herself, and took a deep breath, feeling the choking smoke circulating in her lungs and throat… What does it feel like? Gu Xia didn’t know either, she only knew that the smoke was circulating in her body, and she felt extremely happy.
“A toast to freedom, a toast to death
Forgive my ordinaryness, dispel the confusion
Well, I always leave after dawn
A sober person is the most ridiculous
A sober person is the most absurd. “
Gu Xia was humming a song that came out of nowhere. She only knew that she had heard it before, but she just couldn’t remember it, but for some reason, she was able to sing it. Maybe it was because she felt the same way. !
………
“I’ll take you up.” The proprietress, Sister Li, said.
“No, uh~ I know the way, it’s so close~IndoMTL.com~ I can climb up there too, you go back, I’m leaving.” Gu Xia waved his hand and walked towards home unsteadily go.
It’s okay for Sister Li to see this. After all, she hasn’t taken out the money in the shop and the door is not locked, so she can only shout: “Then be careful.”
Gu Xia waved his hand and walked home on his own. When he reached the door, Gu Xia didn’t open the door, but sat down by the door. After sitting down, he felt his stomach churn…
“vomit~vomit~cough cough~~”
Gu Xia held the door and vomited, tears streaming from her nose…
When Tu Sisi heard the sound at the door, her first reaction was to get up to take a look, but when she remembered what happened just now, she made up her mind and went back to bed, tears streaming down her face.
After vomiting, Gu Xia sat directly on the dirt on the ground, his whole body was top-heavy, drooling from his mouth, moaning.
………
At this time, the male owner of the opposite house was about to get up to go to the toilet at night. He had a habit of lighting a cigarette before entering the toilet. In his words, he would rather not go to the toilet without a cigarette. General went to the living room, took out a cigarette and walked to the door of the toilet, ready to light a cigarette, when he suddenly smelled a smell, he suddenly trembled, thinking that it was bad, but it was too late, because his fingers had already pressed lighter.
“Boom~”
All of a sudden, the flames blazed, and the sound of explosions continued to sound.
Gu Xia heard a loud noise, squinted his eyes and looked in front of him, suddenly the door in front of him burst open with a bang, and flames rushed out quickly.
The flames tilted Gu Xia’s body backwards, and the door of Gu Xia’s house also burst open, and the flames quickly filled Gu Xia’s house.
At the moment when the flames approached him, Gu Xia murmured: “That’s fine, I’m dead, I just hope that Sisi and Chengcheng are okay.”
