"Your Mandarin is pretty good now. After speaking, Huang Lu himself was silent.

"Thank you. Luo Qiang subconsciously spoke, thought about it and said, "I practice with my wife every day." ”

"Even Mandarin?" This is a bit unexpected by Huang Lu, you know, although language is important, but at least in the same country, especially in a situation like now, where the vast majority of the local people are foreigners, Mandarin seems to have become the least important thing.

Everyone's Mandarin is the same lame, as long as they can understand it roughly and can say a few words casually for simple communication, it is enough for many people. Serious about learning Mandarin, Huang Lu is really the first time to see it.

"How did you learn it?" Huang Lu was embarrassed to say, the level of the two of you itself belongs to the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, everyone is about the same.

"Just the phone recording. As he spoke, Luo Qiang took out his straight board machine, clicked on the screen a few times, and then held it up to Huang Lu to see, and said: "Let's record each other, broadcast it after recording, and listen to it by ourselves, and say it all over again if you feel awkward." ”

"Do you read it like that every day?"

"yes. Every morning when I go back, my friends and they haven't gone out at work, so I walk around with my wife outside. ”

Huang Lu didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only change the topic and ask, "Is your wife at work now?"

"Not yet," Luo Qiang shook his head and said, "We have just come here, and we don't know each other well, and we don't know what to do first." So I thought, I'm going to learn what kind of twist first...... Double twisting, and then look for a job after learning it. When she found the job and rented a house to settle down, she went again. ”

When I first arrived and everything was not settled, I had to face and come into contact with something that I was completely unfamiliar with, and the pressure I needed to face was greater than I imagined. Luo Qiang couldn't bear to let his wife go out and get confused together, so he chose to explore the road by himself first.

Huang Lu couldn't help but be a little moved.

"But I didn't do it well. Luo Qiang sighed.

If you can't go to work here, your friends will be more or less unhappy, and they don't know what kind of job they can find in the future. This is also the main reason why he is still wandering on the road at night after he comes out of his place of work.

"Don't think about it, leaving may not be the right decision. Continue to stay there awkwardly, in case the boss is really unhappy after finding out, and it will affect others, and you won't be able to stay any longer. Huang Lu comforted him and asked with some curiosity: "Now you and your daughter...... Do you all live with your wife?"

"yes, just keep going, in the village in front of me, and rent a single room from the locals. ”

It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a single room as a small warehouse.

"By the way," Huang Lu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Last time I was at the entrance of the village, you were also reading Mandarin at that time?"

Luo Qiang was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he remembered what the other party was talking about, and said, "No, we actually just arrived here that day." ”

"I was waiting for him, and my phone had a little battery left, and it turned off after calling him. ”

I sat on the green hard seat for two days, and then I came here in the stars and the moon, and I was still waiting for a friend who didn't know when I would be able to come.

"Alright, I'll go wash the dishes. Huang Lu got up, thought about it and turned back again, and said, "If you don't just rest here tonight, you will probably wake up your friend when you go back this time." ”

Luo Qiang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he also hesitated.

Today's incident made him embarrassed to explain to his friends, and it was really too much to run back in the middle of the night and wake up the other party.

"Go wash up, I'll get you something. Huang Lu came back from washing the dishes and felt a little strange when he saw Luo Qiang sitting upright on the sofa.

"I ...... I want to go down first. Luo Qiang smiled a little innocently: "Now those dogs should have left, and I want to return the two brooms I took from someone else's yard just now." ”

Huang Lu suddenly remembered what the mutton noodle stall owner said at the entrance of the village that morning, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, waved his big hand, and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go down and clean up together." ”

Luo Qiang immediately jumped up from the sofa, as if he had a spring.

After the two brooms were put back in place, the two went back to sleep. After Huang Lu roughly told the other party about the location of things and how to use them, he went into his bedroom.

After tossing and turning with Luo Qiang so inexplicably, a few hours passed, and he had to get up early today.

Now that the factories and quality of the cooperation are stable, the next step is to focus on design. Early this morning, he asked two designers to come over for an interview. Both of them are said to have been working for many years in other well-known large companies, and have extremely rich experience and a super high level of aesthetics.

The current way of work, there is no way to raise the grade and environment overnight, I can only hope to raise my spirit, so that the other party can at least have confidence in the boss.

When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, Huang Lu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have asked the person's name yet.

When Huang Lu got up early the next morning, the other party didn't know when he had left. Only on the table, I don't know where to find a pen and write my mobile phone number crookedly on a tissue.

Huang Lu thought of the straight board machine that the other party took out last night, and took into account that the other party should not have WeChat, so he saved the number and sent a text message, and simply introduced himself by the way.

- My name is Huang Lu, the one who was chased by a dog last night. This is my number, and I can contact more when I have time later, and you can ask me for help if you have anything here.

The other party's message was quickly replied, and the content was extremely rigorous and formal: Hello, my name is Luo Qiang.

The two met inexplicably, but Huang Lu was completely busy later, and he still went out early and returned late every day, so he almost lived in the studio completely. It was only after things had stabilized for the new designer and the design development of the new model had been held that he had a moment of respite.

finally slept at home until he woke up naturally, and Huang Lu was still a little dazed when he saw the brightness outside the window when he got up.

He went to the studio before dawn in the early hours of the morning, and rushed back in the middle of the night, and he really hadn't been lying down like this for a long time and quietly looking outside.

Huang Lu lay on the bed like this for almost an hour, getting up before the long-lost migraine faintly began to have a tendency to attack. Wash and clean up, all in one go, and finally put on your clothes again and walk slowly downstairs.

Spring is coming, and although the day dawns early, the weather is still not good. As soon as Huang Lu went out, he felt a drizzle falling.

No wonder Li Chang didn't do Tai Chi downstairs today.

Huang Lu thought about it in his heart, and he still didn't turn around and go upstairs to get an umbrella, this time it was not raining much. Occasionally, when some drizzle is blown away on the face, there is a cool feeling.

The entrance to the village is still as lively, and even after the vast majority of people have resumed work, it has become more lively than before.

Huang Lu shuttled through the food stalls, and soon saw the familiar mutton noodle stall, and without taking two steps forward, he had already arrived in front of the stall. Before Huang Lu could speak, the stall owner took the lead in speaking enthusiastically: "Eh, Xiao Huang, I'm still eating noodles today." ”

"Eat!" Huang Lu got up, approached the noodle stall and took a look, and said jokingly: "There should be mutton soup today." ”

"Of course there is, enough!" the stall owner replied without hesitation, and was a little proud: "The mutton I bought yesterday is really good, and today this smell has attracted a group of people." ”

It seems that the last time has been completely forgotten.

Huang Lu didn't know what Luo Qiang's mood was that day, but he could more or less guess a little. In the first few days since I got on the bus, I have been running around and tired, and I am afraid and worried about the uncertainty of the future and the unfamiliar environment.

In addition to the people around me who have been snuggling up to each other, the warmest thing should be the bowl of mutton noodles.

"I haven't seen you in days. The boss was rarely free, and specially brought the mutton powder to Huang Lu, and greeted him happily: "Xiao Huang has been very busy lately, but the staff in your store have seen it every once in a while." ”

"Well, that's the breakfast he brought me. ”

Hearing Huang Lu's answer, the smile on the stall owner's face turned into shock for a short time, he glanced in the direction of the village in disbelief, then turned his head to look at Huang Lu, and said incredulously: "Don't you live here?

Huang Lu said matter-of-factly: "It can't be said that you can get there with your feet, you can have breakfast here, and there should be a hundred meters back and forth." ”

The stall owner was so confused by his serious look that he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at him helplessly and said, "Young man, why can't you even walk a hundred meters here." Or should we learn from the scholar Li Factory, who is so busy with work every day, and people still insist on running in the morning and strolling around at night, practicing Tai Chi every other day. ”

"I can't copy Li Chang's like that, I'm troublesome. ”

The stall owner was amused and said, "Hey, I said that you don't look like a young man sometimes, but worse than the old people." ”

"No, I can sit and I won't move much anyway. Huang Lu took a sip of powder, and said indifferently: "Besides, the young people nowadays are really like me." ”

"Why, you're the exception. After the stall owner finished speaking, he paused, and then said with some emotion: "Our fellow is the young man you saw last time, isn't that how people are." ”

Huang Lu smiled casually, and was about to concentrate on eating, when his name suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Young man last time?" Huang Lu asked with some hesitation, "Luo Qiang?"

"yes, that's the kid. The stall owner was stunned, nodded, and said, "Eh, you also know Luo Qiang." ”

"I met two days ago. ”

"Oh, hey, hey. The stall owner scratched his head, probably thinking of the first day when the other party appeared here, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said, "I misunderstood him at the time......

"I'm just looking for a chance to talk to you about this. Huang Lu stopped his chopsticks, handed over a cigarette, and said with a smile: "I caught up two days ago, and when we got together and chatted a few words, I asked what he was doing." Before I found out about us, we all misunderstood, this person is very good and didn't lose the face of your fellow countrymen. ”

Huang Lu specially emphasized the word "we", and sure enough, the stall owner laughed twice, and the expression on his face was not so embarrassed, but all apologetic.

"Well, I've been setting up a stall here for a few years, and I've seen a lot of these things. The stall owner lit a cigarette and sighed with some emotion: "The outside world is good, and the flowers are green." But it's so good that people can't even see it. People like us who didn't even see TV when we were kids feel like we've come to another world when we first come here. ”

In the past, people who could shuttle through various country roads and easily climb over large and small hills without getting lost were fascinated by the high-rise buildings.

Panic and low self-esteem unceremoniously spread in the heart.

"Many little babies are like this, and they come out to work at a young age. I don't know what's out there, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do, so I'm easily led astray by others. The stall owner shook his head, pressed the rest of the cigarette to the ground, and washed his hands before returning to his pot.

"But Luo Qiang, this kid, looks good now, but he doesn't seem to have found a job yet. I hope that if I mix it up like this, I won't be led astray in the end. ”

The stall owner's voice was soft and ethereal, and when Huang Lu got up, he was still a little abrupt. has always been a happy stall owner, and there is a lot of desolation in his voice.

Everyone says they want to go to the big city, but for many more, it's just a trip from a remote mountainous village to a slightly better village.

No matter how prosperous the city is, it has nothing to do with them.

The province and city where they are located have a resounding name. But when you look up at your surroundings, the rice bowls you hold in the bowl don't seem to have any connection with the glamorous and rapidly booming city on TV.

The ghost made the gods worse, and Huang Lu sent a message to Luo Qiang:

How's it going? Have you found a new job?
