Chapter 670 Because of Love (3)
Jiang Feng found himself at the door of Jin Carpenter's house.
Judging from the time, it should be when late autumn turns to winter. The leaves on the trees on the roadside have almost fallen off. Zhang Chu beside him has already put on thick clothes. However, the clothes are a bit dirty and the color is relatively dull. They look gray. of. Zhang Chu stood at the door of Jin Carpenter's house. The door was closed. What Jiang Feng found strange was that Zhang Chu did not go in, but stood motionless in front of the closed door.
Jiang Feng stared at Zhang Chu. He had no expression. He just stood at the door and stared at the door. He would not leave without knocking. His eyes were very strange, and he had an indescribable complex emotion.
In Jiang Feng's understanding, this emotion was sadness.
It's not just sad.
Could it be that something happened to Jin Carpenter?
It's a pity that Zhang Chu couldn't answer Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng could only stand on the side and watch him quietly. At this time, Zhang Chu had changed quite a bit compared to the Zhang Chu in the memory of smashing the window frame. His face was still the handsome face with righteousness and strong eyebrows, but his temperament was completely different.
If Zhang Chu was still a young boy before, now Zhang Chu has the air of a social animal who was beaten up by society. It's not that he is a social beast, Jiang Feng just feels that he should have been beaten by society, and the beating was quite severe, and he looked a little depressed.
A few minutes passed, Zhang Chu was still standing there, and Jiang Feng began to walk around. His range of activities this time was not large. He could only move within a radius of seven meters with Zhang Chu as the center. He could just slip through the wall into the front yard of Carpenter Jin's house and the front yard of the house next door to Carpenter Jin.
There seemed to be no one at Carpenter Jin's house. The yard was in a mess, not even a piece of good wood was there. It was all wood scraps and spent wood. The shelf for enjoying the shade had fallen to the ground for some reason and was not taken care of.
There was someone living next door to Carpenter Jin. A middle-aged woman was washing clothes in the front yard. While washing clothes, she warned her young daughter not to go out.
"But I just saw brother Zhang Chu coming. I wanted to go and play with brother Zhang Chu. Mom, I haven't been out for a long time. There are no classes in school now, and I have nothing to do at home every day." The little girl was a little unhappy.
"Brother Zhang Chu, what are you looking for next door..." The middle-aged woman's voice suddenly became softer, as if she was talking about something that cannot be made public, "The next door is different from now, Qingqing, be good, don't go out, and don't look for Zhang Chu." Brother Chu is playing, let’s have less contact with him in the future.”
"Why?" The little girl looked very unhappy, "The ones who were arrested were Uncle Jin and Brother Patriot. What does it have to do with Brother Zhang Chu?"
The middle-aged woman sighed: "It doesn't matter. You, alas, are not allowed to go out anyway."
The little girl had no choice but to give up: "Mom, when will brother come back! Last time he told me that he would bring me specialties from the grassland when he came back. It's been almost a year, why hasn't he come back yet?"
The middle-aged woman touched her head and her voice became much softer: "Hurry, be back soon."
Jiang Feng seemed to understand something. Just as he was about to step forward and listen clearly to the conversation between mother and daughter, the wall of air hit him directly.
It was still a collision in the face, so hard that Jiang Feng felt that his facial features were deformed.
The wall of air moved very slowly. Jiang Feng quickly got up from the ground and walked through the wall to follow Zhang Chu, rubbing his face as he walked. Although the air wall wouldn't cause him any real damage, the pain was really painful.
Zhang Chu walked very slowly. He was obviously worried and thinking about things as he walked. His expression was a little solemn, and he didn't even look at the road very much. He kept his head down and looked at his feet.
Jiang Feng saw some people along the way, and some of them seemed to know Zhang Chu. When they saw him from a distance, they hurriedly avoided him as if he were some kind of savage beast. Zhang Chu didn't have much reaction to this. He might have seen it but didn't care at all. He just kept walking slowly and silently until he reached the door of Yonghe Residence.
The entrance of Yonghe Residence looked very deserted, no one was there, and the door was open. The door of the silk shop next door was closed, and even the signboard was crooked.
Zhang Chu walked in. Manager Zhang was standing behind the counter settling accounts as usual. Seeing Zhang Chu coming, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang is here. Guixiang just went out. You should go to the utility room to get tools first."
"Yeah." Zhang Chu nodded.
Manager Zhang walked out from behind the counter and accompanied Zhang Chu to the utility room.
"How are you doing lately?" Manager Zhang asked.
"It's okay." Zhang Chu forced a smile.
"Xiao Zhang." Manager Zhang looked around and made sure no one was around before whispering, "Now is different from before. The world has changed. If you have a chance to see your master, please advise him not to be so stubborn. Well, it’s time to be soft and soft, it’s time to write a check, write a check, even cleaning the toilet is better than what you are doing now, don’t risk your life for a bed.”
"You advise him, even if he is willing to be stubborn and patriotic...hey." Manager Zhang could only sigh.
The two of them walked to the door of the utility room, and Manager Zhang also walked in and closed the door ajar.
Manager Zhang dragged Zhang Chu to the corner and whispered: "Originally I shouldn't tell you this kind of thing, but I can't hide it. I'm afraid you will hear outrageous things from others." Even more uncomfortable. Manager Yin is crazy.”
Zhang Chu was stunned. This was the first time Jiang Feng saw such obvious fluctuations in his expression after entering this memory.
"Why...why?"
"Her daughter committed suicide. Just last night, she found a rope and hung herself in the silk shop. It is said that she left a suicide note, but the suicide note has been burned. Now the silk shop is completely closed." Manager Zhang said, Shaking his head, "This little girl...has never suffered, so it's normal."
"Manager Yin went crazy when he heard the news this morning. I am telling you this just because I want you to persuade your master. Manager Yin is already like this. There is no need for him to risk his life just for a bed."< br>
Zhang Chu looked bitter: "I can't see him at all."
"Now that my parents are divorced, I have no work, so you still dare to let me come to repair tables and chairs. I guess I can't stay in Peking anymore. I plan to go to the countryside to become an educated youth and go to the south."
< br>
"Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it."
Manager Zhang didn't know what to say, so he said after a long time: "That's good. In another place, you are a carpenter, and you can make a living wherever you go."
"Have you told Guixiang?"
"I told you." Zhang Chu said with a wooden face, "I came here just to break up with Guixiang. Guixiang has a job and good grades, so she doesn't need to be with me. I don't want to drag her down. She had a quarrel with her parents because of this. It’s been a long time and it’s time to break up.”
"You." Manager Zhang wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything. "This is the only way. This kid Guixiang is also stubborn. Find a suitable time to say it."
"Yeah."
There will be more at night. Before I had my wisdom teeth removed, the doctor praised my lower two wisdom teeth as the ones that required hospitalization. After the wisdom teeth were removed, I had a sore tooth and a headache. I will probably have to go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory injections tomorrow. The thesis has been completed, and the defense is expected to be at the end of May. During this time, I will make a new start and update myself (looking at the sky)
