Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 22
It's hard for me to imagine that she gets up at 4 o'clock every morning to sell breakfast, and she starts barbecue again?From dawn to dusk... Is her body feeling well?The shop she rented was not big, it was just a snack bar of more than [-] square meters. I felt bitter when I thought about it.My mother responded to the guest, and then asked the phone: "Son, why are you calling Mom at this time?"

I asked in a low voice, "Why are you doing barbecue again? Didn't you agree that I can take care of my own living expenses and you won't have to work so hard? Why are you even doing barbecue now?"

"It's okay." My mother comforted me and said: "Every morning, the stall is closed after breakfast is sold out. The daytime management rights of the snack bar are transferred out. After the sale is finished, I will go back to rest. I will rest until the afternoon after nine o'clock. Skewers, selling some barbecue at night, the income is not bad.”

"What about your body?" I said with a little reproach: "You have to keep thinking about making money and your body will be exhausted."

My mother sighed softly, "Your grandfather is sick and has been hospitalized for the past two months. There are a lot of places to use the money. Your uncle and the others all said that the money from the grandfather was given to our family. Now they don't take the money from your grandfather when he sees a doctor. Mom can only work harder."

"Mom—" I suppressed the grief in my heart and asked: "We live like this, do you hate my dad?"

"Old husband and wife, what do you hate..." Speaking of this, she changed the subject suspiciously and asked: "By the way, Qiu Han, you will graduate in a few months, right? When will you come back?"

I was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Mom, I don't really want to go back. Genhe City is a small city with a population of 4 to [-]. There is not a single large company. People of your generation rely on I work for the Forestry Bureau for a living. What can I do when I go back? The income in the whole city is generally very low, and a monthly salary of more than [-] is not bad. It is difficult to find my own space when I go back. If I think about it, I feel that there is no future. After a few years of traveling abroad, there are more employment opportunities in Kunming."

My mother didn't seem to understand my thoughts, and said earnestly: "Son, you should think about it a little bit more. Although the city at home is small, the housing prices are also low. You can buy a building of about 5 square meters for [-] to [-] yuan Yes, when mom pays off all the foreign debts, she can still save money to buy you a house and watch you get married. If you develop in Kunming, mom will really have no way to help you. A house in a big city costs dozens of dollars. Ten thousand……"

I interrupted my mother and said: "Don't worry about me, even if I go home, it is impossible for you to save money to buy a house for me, and you don't need to pay for a daughter-in-law. I can't even earn the money to marry a daughter-in-law , What else are you going to marry? You will have to run away hungry when you get married. Don’t work so hard at home. I think I can make a splash outside and give myself a little more chance, what do you think?"

"Go to school with peace of mind and get your diploma. After three years of university, if you can't even get a diploma, then I will be too disappointed in you. It doesn't matter if I work hard. I just hope you will be successful. The customer is waiting for me to grill skewers, so I won’t chat with you for now.”

After finishing speaking, my mother hung up the phone, and it was obvious that she was really busy.I was lying on the bed but couldn't fall asleep, tears rolled down the corners of my eyes, I felt sorry for her, but I couldn't change anything, because I had no ability...

This week has been muddled, and I don’t know what I did every day. The only thing I’m happy about is that my 3Dmax graduation work design is getting more and more perfect. I come to Amy’s bar every day to find a feeling, and occasionally I can meet Zhuo Lan. I have to emphasize again that Zhuo Lan's vision is really unique. After listening to her suggestions in several places, I feel that the overall level has been greatly improved.

On Saturday night, my graduation work entered the final stage, and I finished some details and prepared to hand it over to the teacher.Zhuo Lan was there that night, and together with me, I witnessed the birth of a retro coffee shop...the birth of the project.Amy said that it would be better if such a coffee shop was opened in Lijiang's Dayan Ancient Town or Shuhe Ancient Town. Indeed, it would have more feeling in that kind of place.

Before I closed the computer, Zhuo Lan asked if I could copy this plan to her?If possible, she really wants to open such a coffee shop.

For me, this is just a graduation project, just an assignment assigned by the teacher. If Zhuo Lan can really open such a coffee shop, I will be very happy. Watching my design turn from theory to reality is also a joy. This kind of enjoyment, I copied it to Zhuo Lan without hesitation. As a thank you, Zhuo Lan invited me to go to the top of Changchong Mountain to watch the night view.

In Zhuo Lan's subconscious mind, it is a very happy thing to come to the top of Changchong Mountain to see the scenery.

I stared at Zhuo Lan and asked, "Are you sure you won't throw me on the mountain this time?"

Zhuo Lan smirked and said, "It depends on your mood."

Amy insisted on going with us, so the three of us walked out of the bar.Standing by the car, Zhuo Lan asked me if I could drive?Do you have a driver's license?If I can drive, she will sit in the back and chat with Amy.

I said I can drive a car, and I have a driver's license, but I haven't driven a car on the road a few times since I got the license for two years. If you don't worry, I will drive it. This Panamera is a luxury car, and I can't afford to pay for an accident.

Zhuo Lan didn't care at all, she directly opened the rear door and said to me, "Just hit me."

Following the navigation, I came to Beicheng District for the second time. Driving up the mountain was a cement road. Once again, I stood at the viewing booth overlooking the city. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. Both Zhuo Lan and Amy took crazy pictures with their mobile phones. I sat on the fence of the viewing pavilion, with a deep pit more than ten meters high under my feet, and a dimly lit city in the distance. In my ears... I heard the sound of a car engine starting...

I turned my head and found that Amy and Zhuo Lan were gone. In the car, they both laughed, and Amy waved to me and said loudly: Bye!That car...fucking away again.

"Come back..." It was too late when I chased out of the viewing booth, and the Porsche Panamera left me with only two red taillights.

I have a feeling that I want to die. I hang up the phone calls to both of them. In this world, you must be wary of women, especially beautiful women... Maybe someday I will throw you The mountain ran away by itself.

I went down the hill on the concrete road, turned a corner, and found that car was parked on the side of the road, and there was a person standing beside the car, because the distance was a bit far, I couldn't see clearly whether it was Amy or Zhuo Lan, but it didn't It's important, I have to catch up first, so I ran forward and shouted: "You two don't play tricks, wait for me..."

"Don't come here." Standing by the car was Amy, but when she shouted, I had already run over. Emmet had no choice but to say, "Turn around."

"Why?" Before I could react, I asked, "Where's Zhuo Lan?"

After I finished asking, I saw Zhuo Lan standing up from the other side of the car, with both hands still tied around her waist. This time it was my turn to be embarrassed, and it turned out that she was relieved...

Seeing Zhuo Lan getting up, Amy was a little surprised and asked, "Lanlan, why are you up?"

Zhuo Lan was elegant and generous, and said indifferently: "It's so dark, and there are cars in the way, he can't see anything."

The three of us watched the night scene on the mountain for a while. Amy and Zhuo Lan seemed to have a lot to say. From the tone and topic of their chat, I can tell that this is definitely a pair of close friends. I'm very embarrassed, it's fine to talk about cosmetics and famous bags, and the two of them are still discussing the amount and color of this month's aunt... I couldn't help it, and said: "You two girls, at least consider my feelings Well, you can't let me fantasize about your aunt's color while looking at the night scene?"

The two of them were completely stunned. The next second, the two of them laughed like crazy. I swear, I will never come out with them next time.

Monday morning.

After the regular meeting, I went to Su Yubing's office to ask her for leave. Su Yubing didn't ask me what I was going to do, so she wrote me a note approving the leave and handed it to me.I stood in front of her desk and asked, "You approved my leave without even asking me what I was doing? Sure enough, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll serve you dinner tonight."

"Let's talk about it another day." Su Yubing said helplessly, "I'm going to a party with Wang Yong tonight, representing the company."

"Oh. Well, tell me another day if you're hungry, and I'll make you a big meal."

Su Yubing smiled and said: "Then you have to be ready, next time I will definitely ask you to prepare a table of delicious food, I want to eat enough."

Said it as if she hadn't eaten anything good.

Seeing me leave the company, Slap chased me out of the cubicle office and asked me why?I said to go back to school to hand in my 3Dmax graduation project, and slapped me to wait. He went in and asked the little girl in administration to sign it.

I went to hand in my graduation project, and I slapped my classmates to chat with my classmates in the boys' dormitory.

The teacher who taught us 3Dmax is the director of the School of Communication. He gave me a high evaluation on the spot after seeing my graduation work, and said to me with a smile: "Young man, did you make this yourself?"

"Of course." I said swearingly: "It took me a week to make it. How do you feel? Such a retro coffee house is rare in Kunming, right? No! Have you seen such a retro coffee house in Kunming? The modern place is modern, and the place that should be retro is retro, and this is what we want.”

At this time, the photography teacher came over to take a look from the side, and said: "If this coffee shop is established, it will definitely be a good place for shooting interior scenes."

To be recognized by two teachers at the same time, I am full of pride.

"What about the name?" The director of the Department of Communication, who is also the teacher of 3Dmax, reminded me: "Choose a name for your coffee shop. It is also the name of your graduation work. Such an artistic place should also have an artistic name. .”

I thought for a while and said: "Let's call it 'lightly engraved annual rings'. Time is imprinted in the accumulated years like annual rings. I hope everyone here can feel the connotation I want to express. In this way Drink a cup of coffee and read a book in a coffee shop, and spend afternoon after afternoon.”

"Okay." The head of the media department said, "It's a good name, creative." Then, he took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to me, saying, "Here is a transfer letter, please sign it."
