Say goodbye to the past once and for all.
Now that the money and the project are settled, the next thing is the venue, which is on a first-come, first-served basis. The two of them arrived at the venue at seven o'clock the next day, there are always many things in this world that make you feel strange forever, no matter what you do, no matter how early you come, there will always be someone earlier than you.
I walked along the field until I reached the end, and then I saw a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man with a notebook in his hand. Fools can see that it's too late, and the stalls are already in short supply.
"What should I do?" it wasn't hot in the morning, but Xiaoli's forehead was already covered with sweat.
"Squeeze in"
Forrest Gump put down his words and rushed to the crowd. But he overestimated himself, these people are simply impregnable, no matter how hard you try, you can't squeeze a gap. Forrest Gump almost roared, because the weight of the stall was more important than his life at this time, and this was part of his old father's inheritance!
At this time, being anxious is no longer the solution to the problem, and it is impossible to calm down, Forrest Gump, who is desperate, has been soaked with sweat at this time, and in more than ten minutes, he has consumed all the energy in his body, and he is paralyzed from exhaustion.
"No, no, no, I really don't have the strength. Regardless of the occasion and face, Forrest Gump gasped and sat on the concrete floor.
"Alright, alright, everyone's gone! A deep middle-aged man's voice came from the crowd.
Hearing the sound, Forrest Gump suddenly jumped up like a chicken blood, "Uncle Kui?".
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Zhang Kui's figure came into view. Seeing Forrest Gump drenched in sweat, Zhang Kui hesitated on the spot and was extremely surprised.
"Forrest Gump, why are you here?"
Forrest Gump, who saw hope, stammered excitedly: "I, I, I'm here to find, to find a stall, to come."
"Don't get excited, let's talk slowly, I haven't eaten breakfast! Let's go, there is a breakfast shop in front, let's talk while eating." ”。
"Uh-huh," Forrest Gump nodded like an aggrieved child.
"Who is this?" asked Zhang Kui, looking at Xiaoli on the side.
"This is my friend Xiaoli", "Xiaoli, this is my hometown Uncle Kui".
"Hello Uncle Kui," Xiaoli said with a polite smile.
"Oh, young man, it's okay!" Zhang Kui glanced at Forrest Gump with a strange look and said with a wicked smile.
When he arrived at the breakfast shop, Forrest Gump did not tell Zhang Kui about his experience in the Internet café that day for fear of his mother's worry. For the rest, he recounted everything else to Zhang Kui one by one (including the bits and pieces with Xiaoli and Mengna during this time).
After listening to Forrest Gump's narration, Zhang Kui touched Forrest Gump's head distressedly, and said with a kind look in his eyes: "It's okay child, this land belongs to our family, Uncle Kui will go back and arrange the best position for you." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Kui," at this time, Forrest Gump looked at Uncle Kui with more admiration in his eyes.
"Child, since you have chosen to take this path, you must stick to the end. If you have something to do in the future, just look for Uncle Kui, Uncle Kui will try his best to help you. But let's talk about the ugly things ahead, not everything Uncle Kui will help you, after all, you are still young, many things need to be experienced by yourself, and there are also too many places to learn. But you don't have to be too depressed, you can do what you want to do boldly, Uncle Kui will always stand by your side to support and assist you. ”
After chatting for about half an hour, Zhang Kui answered the phone and left in a hurry, leaving a mobile phone number for Forrest Gump before leaving, saying that he would just call this number on the day he entered the venue.
After Zhang Kui left, Forrest Gump and Xiaoli decided to go to Mengna's place of work at noon to celebrate, and by the way, share the good news with her.
To say that the place of this Yaowang Temple is not big, but the surrounding environment is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, and it is a good place to pray for health. It was only nine o'clock when they came out of the breakfast shop, and at Xiaoli's request, the two of them walked around the neighborhood until noon.
Meng Na works in a chain of Cantonese restaurants, the restaurant is not big, about 300 square meters, wooden appearance, and the business here is very hot. The boss is a southerner, a famous Cantonese chef, and he is very good at dealing with people. The proprietress is a native northerner, but also a first-class capable person, this hotel is their fifth branch in the provincial capital, can come three or five times a month. Both of them don't have any shelves, and every time they come over, they care about the waiters at the grassroots level, and they are many times better than the manager with a bitter gourd face.
Today, just in time for the boss and the boss lady to be there, after receiving a call from Forrest Gump and knowing that he and Xiaoli were coming at noon, Mona was very happy. Although she is just a small waiter here, after all, the visitor is the guest and she is the master. Ran to the front desk to say hello to the boss, the boss was very generous and considerate, allowing her to change the waiter's clothes first, and when her friends came, she would get off work directly, and also instructed the back kitchen to arrange a few hard dishes for them.
Meng Na, who changed her clothes, was like losing her soul, she was outside the restaurant, and after a while, she looked at the door, and the proprietress who was settling accounts in front of the bar looked at her and recalled what she looked like when she was young.
When it was almost a minute, Mona, who couldn't bear it anymore, stood directly at the door, staring intently at the corner of the road in the distance, and her heartbeat was much faster than usual. Maybe that's it
It's what it's like to be young! Everybody has to go through this stage in their life.
When Forrest Gump and Xiaoli appeared in sight, Mona hurriedly ran to the bar and gasped and told the boss: "It's coming, it's time to serve."
This made the proprietress next to her laugh.
Cantonese cuisine is mainly light, and the characteristic is that it is expensive, but for the north, this is a rare thing in the south. Three people, a whole side stove shabu Qingyuan chicken, as well as six dishes sent by the boss, ate half of the dishes after eating one meal, and only ate one-third of the chicken in the pot. But these are secondary, the main thing is that everyone is happy in their hearts.
There are still three days before the temple fair, and there is nothing to do in the provincial capital during these three days, so Forrest Gump wants to take advantage of these days to go back to his hometown and visit his mother while quitting his job in the repair shop by the way.
In the afternoon, after completing the advertisements and daily necessities used in the temple fair with Xiaoli, Forrest Gump embarked on the journey home.
From the provincial capital to home, you need to reverse the car in the county, and today I am afraid that I will not be able to catch the car back to the village, Forrest Gump can only borrow a night in the county seat.
Pushing open the door, the familiar smell of oil and rust poured in from his nostrils, and looking at this old place full of memories, Forrest Gump's heart fluctuated.
"Yo, Forrest Gump is back. There's such a big thing going on at home, and I'm thinking about giving you a few more days off!How about it, the old mother is okay!" The boss who was repairing the car heard the door and immediately looked over.
"It's good, brother" Forrest Gump, who was thinking about how to talk to the boss on the way, was in a mess at this time.
"That's good, that's good, it's just when you come back, I'll go to the street to buy some fruit or something in the past two days and go to your house to see your mother." ”
"No need brother, I won't trouble you"
"You're welcome, you're not an outsider. Okay, you go back to your room first, you don't have to do today's work, go and have a good rest!"
"Brother, I'm ......"
"Don't say anything, hurry back and rest, listen to my brother. The boss interrupted Forrest Gump's chance to speak again.
The boss's performance made Forrest Gump feel in a dilemma, but it was ironclad not to do it here, and he had to find an opportunity to talk to the boss.
Walking into the room and looking at the dirty and messy bedding, Forrest Gump pulled Forrest Gump back to reality from the beginning of his reluctance. No, I hate it, I hate my old life, and I'd rather taste the suffering of the world than live in this dirty and messy little space than the beauty of the big city.
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, and with a big turn, Forrest Gump walked quickly towards the boss.
"Brother, I'm quitting. ”
As soon as the five words came out, the boss who was bending over to work straightened his waist and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees: "What did you say? I didn't hear it, you say it again." The boss turned his face faster than a book, and glared at Forrest Gump fiercely.
"Brother, I said I won't do it, this place is not for me," Forrest Gump replied calmly again.
"You fart, hehe, Lao Tzu has cultivated you for so long, spent so much effort on you, for you to eat and wear, and now I finally taught you a little, you don't do it if you say you don't do it?"
"Brother, I know your good intentions, and I am grateful for your cultivation of me, but this place is really not suitable for me, I have my own ideals and new goals. ”
Do you feel that you have learned, dislike my salary is too low, and then want to change jobs, right? ”
"Brother, I have to leave today no matter what you say, and I promise you that I will never touch this industry again in my life. Forrest Gump turned around and quickly grabbed the door.
As soon as I walked out of the door, there was a shrill sound of wrenches colliding in the yard, and greetings to my parents.
After finding a small hotel to deal with for the night, Forrest Gump took the morning bus home.
The old mother, who was cooking at home, saw Forrest Gump coming back, and excitedly stepped forward with a big hug.
After a long time, he asked with concern: "Why did you come back, is the business not going well?"
"No, I just miss your old man, so come back and see"
"How many days to stay at home?"
"In two days, there are still many things to do in the provincial capital!"
"That's okay, Mom will go cook first, and when you eat later, you can tell me about your experience in the provincial capital, and then tell Mom about you and Mona. ”
