Time passed quickly, and a month passed quickly.
On the road in early autumn, Song Wenbin was wearing slippers, holding a cigarette in his mouth, sitting in the cab of a Jiangling truck with a distracted look, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and driving the truck toward the suburbs.
On his passenger seat, there were several boxes of carbon arrows placed high in cardboard boxes.
Song Wenbin's father, Song Siping, is a small domestic outdoor product manufacturer, engaged in the production of some items such as hiking sticks, sleds, table tennis volleyballs, bows and arrows. These movements are tepid in China, and Song Wenbin's father's business has not improved in more than ten years. Fortunately, although the industry is deserted, there is not much competition pressure, and it is not a big problem to satisfy the family's well-off life.
It's just that although his father runs an outdoor business, he has no interest in the outdoors. Every day he either settles accounts in the study or reads stocks in the office. Song Wenbin can't help but have a headache when he thinks that he will have to live such a life in the future.
Fortunately, since his resignation, the program team has not mentioned the contract with him. This made Song Wenbin relieved. After all, he was only from a small middle-class family. If Seal wanted to sue him for breach of contract, he would have no power to resist.
Soon, the truck arrived at the suburbs of City H, where there was an area dedicated to outdoor activities. Because land is cheap, there are many badminton halls, table tennis halls, ice rinks, ski resorts, and archery halls located here. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is very good. Of course, because there are many outdoor activity halls here, there are naturally many businesses selling equipment here.
The vehicle stopped in front of an equipment store. Song Wenbin opened the door and started delivering goods to the store. This is a job with little technical content. It only requires repeatedly getting in and out of the car to move things.
After moving with his boss all morning, Song Wenbin finally finished unloading the goods and was about to leave, but his boss stopped him.
"Xiao Song, I have something to do when I go out later. Please help me look at the store."
The boss handed him a cigarette and said.
"Oh, okay, Uncle Liu."
Song Wenbin said.
Back in the afternoon, Song Wenbin had nothing to do. He wandered into the outdoor goods store lazily, took out a bottle of Coke from the freezer next to him, then sat at the cashier, opened the love apartment, lit a cigarette, and showed no expression. looked up.
As time passed by, Song Wenbin's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the distance, what were Su Tina and Huo Yu doing now. According to the arrangement of the program team, they may be doing some weird things in a foreign country at the moment. Maybe the program team has found a new male guest, a being stronger than him.
"Ah, Xiao Song."
Someone shouted, very quick.
Song Wenbin quickly sat upright in his chair and put out his cigarette.
"Aunt Yao."
The person who came was a somewhat fat middle-aged woman, and next to her was an equally fat girl with some acne on her face, wearing glasses, squinting her eyes, and her hair was messy, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
This is the proprietress of this outdoor goods store, and beside her is Liu Rui, the boss's daughter. Song Wenbin had seen it several times when he was a child and had some impressions. But I haven't seen it for many years.
"Ah, I haven't grown this tall in many years."
Aunt Yao said enthusiastically.
Song Wenbin stood up and wanted to leave.
But Aunt Yao immediately said: "Sit, sit, there is no one here in the afternoon, I'm afraid you have nothing to do, and Rui happens to be at home, so let her come here to learn something."
"Oh." Song Wenbin said with a smile.
Thinking of Uncle Liu's request to let him look after the store, Song Wenbin already understood the purpose of the landlady's visit, and he secretly gritted his teeth. Although he resigned in exchange for his parents' compromise, it seems that her mother still had some illusions, some unrealistic illusions.
"Go and let Xiao Song teach you how to use the cashier."
Aunt Yao ordered.
The girl behind her came out reluctantly, stood in front of Song Wenbin, and forced a smile.
Song Wenbin smiled naturally. He stood up and pulled up the chair for her to sit down. Then he started to turn on the computer and taught Liu Rui how to use the cash register system. Liu Rui listened absently, his eyes sometimes drifting to the ashtray, sometimes to Song Wenbin's slippers, and he yawned.
"Xiao Song, I heard from your mother that you haven't studied since you graduated from high school, right?"
Aunt Yao asked.
"Yeah." Song Wenbin replied briefly: "I don't want to read it."
"Then you are fucking behind your father now."
"Yes, just starting out."
"I heard that you used to do live broadcasts. Do you still do it now?"
"No more." Song Wenbin said, he clicked on the computer: "You click this, click this, and the checkout is completed."
"That's fine, that thing has no future."
Aunt Yao said: "There are tens of thousands of people, but not one person can stand out."
"yes."
Song Wenbin said: "You can do it yourself."
Liu Rui reached out absently, picked up the mouse and started clicking.
"It's okay...it's okay to have sex with your dad..."
Aunt Yao searched for a long time but couldn't find any topic, so she said: "Then you guys chat slowly, I won't disturb you young people anymore, haha."
"OK."
Song Wenbin said.
After Aunt Yao left, Song Wenbin immediately stopped teaching and found a chair to sit down. To hide his embarrassment, he opened the Coke and drank it.
"Why are you still watching iPartment?"
Liu Rui clicked the mouse blindly, frowned and asked: "How old is this movie?"
"To pass the time." Song Wenbin said, "Take a look at that system again."
"Oh." Liu Rui said, looking outside.
"Is that your car?"
Song Wenbin glanced at Jiangling and nodded.
"Then...Uncle Song, now..."
“Drink tea and watch stocks and lose money.”
Song Wenbin said.
"Oh..." Liu Rui was a little uneasy.
Suddenly, for a moment, Song Wenbin suddenly felt that life was meaningless, including eating, sleeping, doing business, satisfying each other, surviving, reproducing, and showing off. It seems that he only needs 30% of his brain capacity to cope with these things. For example, I dealt with this girl who didn't want to sit here and was a little disappointed, but she forced herself to be polite and well-educated.
They have no illusions about each other's family and body, nor do they have any extravagant expectations for each other's character. They even have a slight dislike for each other's existence itself.
But they are making sacrifices for the most intimate relationship between human beings.
How on earth did human beings end up in such a sad situation.
Song Wenbin thought to himself that compared with this miserable life, even the regretful marriage scene in "Fighting Through the Sky" would make him feel happy. If he were Xiao Yan, he probably wouldn't be angry because Nalan Yanran burned the marriage certificate. Maybe he would be ecstatic about it.
Perhaps compared with this kind of life, even the life of primitive people is more promising.
There was a noise of grinding tires at the door.
A gray vehicle almost hit his JMC butt.
Song Wenbin was so shocked when he saw that thing that he almost choked on the coke in his mouth.
A girl wearing a black leather jacket slowly got out of the car door, folded her sunglasses and threw them into the car. Then he hummed a little tune and walked slowly into the store.
When she walked into the store, she looked around slowly, and then her eyes locked on Song Wenbin's face.
"Yo?" She said frivolously, "What a coincidence."
Song Wenbin looked at the girl with nails on her leather jacket and a leather ring around her neck, and murmured: "What a coincidence your mother's head is..."
"Dogs bark."
Huo Yu casually walked to the shelf by the wall, took down a Sanlida compound bow from the shelf, put it on his hand and let it rest.
"Is this thing made in China?" she asked.
"Are you going to do it? Don't let it go!"
Song Wenbin said loudly.
"Is your bow made of paper?"
Huo Yu said contemptuously. She picked up the carbon arrow box next to her and opened it unceremoniously.
At this time, Liu Rui couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Hey." Huo Yu was startled and saw Liu Rui sitting up, and asked, "Is she...?"
"Why do you care so much??"
Song Wenbin was very unhappy. He felt that this guy was just here to cause trouble. That broken GTR just now almost hit his JAC butt.
Liu Rui frowned, distanced himself from Song Wenbin, and said, "I'm the cashier."
When Huo Yu heard this, he immediately took out his cell phone and started filming Song Wenbin. While filming, he said, "Look, everyone, this is what a well-known misogynist anchor does offline, dating a little girl in broad daylight."
Song Wenbin was furious and strode towards Huo Yu. As he walked, he said, "What are you doing here? Let's go!" He was about to call Huo Yu's cell phone.
"We're not dating!"
Liu Rui said loudly: "We just met at the request of our elders and had a friendly conversation!"
Song Wenbin looked back at Liu Rui and found that her ordinary appearance was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
"Did you hear that?" Song Wenbin said.
Huo Yu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Are you on a blind date?"
Song Wenbin almost bit his lip in an instant.
Liu Rui blushed.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~~"
Huo Yu burst out laughing: "Misogynist anchor, blind date, hahahahahahahaha~~"
"Get out!!"
Song Wenbin was really angry. He snatched the compound bow from Huo Yu's hand. Said: "Go away, go wherever you fall in love! Don't affect your business!"
"Why should I get out!"
Huo Yu immediately pushed Song Wenbin away and said confidently: "I'm here to buy something."
“You came here to buy something???”
Song Wenbin couldn't believe it.
"Is there something wrong with me buying outdoor supplies?" Huo Yu asked coldly.
Song Wenbin: "This is a place for middle-aged people to cultivate themselves. Xidan and Yintai are the places you should go."
"Hey, it's true that a dog can't stop eating shit. Why should I go to Xidan and Yintai? Why can't I buy things here?" Huo Yu said perversely.
Song Wenbin was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Humph, I don't want the police to come after me in the future after seeing a corpse outdoors, saying that I provided weapons to the murderer!"
"Then you don't have to worry."
Huo Yu glared at him fiercely: "Because if that's really the case, the corpse must be you!"
"Do you really want to buy something?"
Liu Rui asked uncertainly: "Aren't you some of his ex-girlfriends?"
"no!!"
(no)
The two of them said loudly almost in unison.
Liu Rui curled his lips, showing a look of disgust and suspicion.
Song Wenbin felt that he couldn't stay in this ghost place for a second.
"Whether you want to buy it or not."
After saying that, he strode outside.
"Hey! Is this made in China?"
Huo Yu asked loudly behind him.
Song Wenbin ignored him, boarded the JMC, maliciously stepped back a little, crooked the GTR license plate, and then drove forward.
"Don't touch my car!!"
Huo Yu rushed out of the store and screamed.
A carbon arrow hit JAC's glass, and the headless arrow cracked the passenger glass.
"Hahahaha~"
Song Wenbin lit up a cigarette proudly, feeling high-spirited.
Jiang Ling wiggled her butt proudly and walked away.
In the car, Song Wenbin swept away the gloom and smoked happily.
Although he didn't know why Huo Yu appeared in that store inexplicably, this was indeed a rare moment of relaxation during this period.
Thinking like this, Song Wenbin was also a little dazed.
It seems that I have only known her for a few days...
As I was smoking, my cell phone rang.
Song Wenbin took a look and saw that it was his mother calling.
He answered the phone somewhat inexplicably.
The mother's irritating voice came over the phone: "Where are you!"
"I...I deliver the goods."
Song Wenbin was confused. He didn't know what medicine his mother had taken wrong.
"What kind of goods are you giving me? Come back quickly!"
Mother said a little hysterically.
"ah??"
Before Song Wenbin had time to ask questions, the other party hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone, the smile on Song Wenbin's face disappeared.
Instead, there was a sense of foreboding.
It must be no coincidence that Huo Yu appears here. The world is so big. Instead of filming a show, this guy went to the outskirts of H city to do something. Why did her mother call her when she first arrived?
The more he thought about Song Wenbin, the more he felt panicked. The unknown uncertainty made him pinch his cigarette and rush home as fast as he could.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, his heart began to drop.
There is actually a Weilai electric car parked at the gate of the community. Although he had only seen that Weilai once, there was no doubt that it was Seal's car. And... there is a familiar figure in the car, that is director Pauly.
Song Wenbin ignored the illegal parking at the entrance of the community to take pictures, hurriedly closed the door and got out of the car, and knocked on Weilai's glass.
The director slowly pressed the window, pulled down his sunglasses and looked at him.
"What are you doing here!?"
Song Wenbin asked loudly: "How do you know my address?"
"Pick someone up."
The director said: "It is written in your contract that you should contact this address in case of emergency."
"I already resigned."
Song Wenbin said.
"Well, you can go back and talk about it first." The director said, "Don't take your cell phone with you."
"What??"
Song Wenbin asked.
The director slowly pressed the window and began to close his eyes to rest.
Song Wenbin looked at him looking like an old god, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. He ignored the director and rushed to his parents' house in the community.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Wei Ning standing at the door of the house carrying a camera, and his father Song Siping stood at the door of the yard, nervously talking to Wei Ning, and putting a few red bills in Wei Ning's pocket. plug. Weining hid while carrying the camera.
"What are you doing!"
Song Wenbin appeared and pulled his father away forcefully.
When Wei Ning saw Song Wenbin coming, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
But the smile quickly disappeared, and he became unusually quiet and calm.
"You are Song Wenbin, right?" he said.
"Huh?" Song Wenbin pointed at Wei Ning: "What are you talking about!?"
"You still have the nerve to be arrogant!"
Father Song gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Look at the good things you have done!"
"What good have I done??"
Song Wenbin was confused.
Song's father pushed away the camera, took Song Wenbin's hand and rushed home without any explanation.
As soon as he entered the house, Song Wenbin was stunned.
Because he saw a familiar white-haired figure sitting on the sofa in his house, wiping the corners of his eyes and sobbing.
And his mother Li Yue sat next to her, nervously pulling out the paper from the carton and handing it to the crying girl.
"Okay, okay, don't cry... don't cry..."
Song Wenbin came in. Song's mother saw Song Wenbin's stunned look when he came in. She stood up angrily and pointed at her son. She couldn't say a word for a long time.
Song Wenbin was stunned by this series of combination punches.
Why did Sutina, who was supposed to be filming the show, show up at his house and cry so sadly? ?
"What...what's going on...????"
he asked his mother confusedly.
"You still have the nerve to talk!"
Song Ma stamped her feet, gritted her teeth and whispered: "I have really raised a beast these years..."
"What's going on!?"
Seeing his family as if facing a formidable enemy, Song Wenbin couldn't bear it and shouted at Su Tina: "What are you doing here at my house!?"
Sutina burst into tears and cried to Song Ma: "He is still cruel to me..."
"Speak up!"
Li Yue was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to twist Song Wenbin's ears.
Song Wenbin was going crazy. He could only avoid his mother's hand and asked Sutina patiently: "Okay, okay, what's wrong with you?"
Sutina blushed, only to hear her moaning and saying: "I...I have it..."
