Chapter 13: The Beginning of Oneness
"Xiao An, Sister Xiaomin, they asked me if you want to book tickets together, the winter vacation is coming, the tickets are tight, and there will be discounts together. Zhou Quan asked Su Yi'an.
"I'll ask Brother Sun first, if you have business during the winter vacation, you won't go back. ”
"No need to ask, there are holidays for the New Year, just a little later than us. ”
"Then I'll go back later, go to work well during the holidays, and the living expenses for the next semester will also be settled. ”
"You can do it, the tickets will be tight at that time, remember to book in advance." ”
"Good. ”
During the winter vacation, Su Yi'an and a few roommates said hello to each other in advance, but he didn't have a mobile phone, so he could only say it in advance. After coming to Mansion No. 1, Li Hardware felt that it was okay to let Su Yi'an stay in the office for a long time, so he asked him if he wanted to go to the room where Zhou Quan had lived and moved out, and Su Yi'an was a hundred willing, which could not only save accommodation fees, but also not have to run back and forth between school and work. The university holiday has little impact on Mansion No. 1, the customer positioning of Mansion No. 1 is the middle and high consumer group, and at the end of the year, business is booming, which makes Su Yi'an a little puzzled. He asked Xiao Sun: "Brother Sun, why is our business so good when the Chinese New Year is approaching?"
"The New Year is a children's festival, many adults are busy running around for a year, just to give the family a little surprise for the New Year, but this surprise is not so easy, although they are all our guests, but you can see more to know, the one who pays is accompanied by a smiling face, if you open the door to see everyone happy that the one who pays can have a safe year, and the reverse is to have a bad year. ”
Su Yi'an is not a person who doesn't understand anything, and slowly understands Xiao Sun's words on the side, knowing that it is not easy to live, and there is a lot of helplessness and sadness behind the scenery of some people.
"Brother Sun, do we have any business during the Chinese New Year?"
"Who will come in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and those who have the conditions and those who have no conditions are at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala with their families, and it is rare to get together a little once a year." ”
"Then how long are we on vacation?"
"What's wrong? Can't wait to get home?"
"That's not it, I can finally go to work for a few days, but I was interrupted by the Chinese New Year, and the back and forth travel expenses are enough for two or three months of living expenses. ”
"Do you really want to stay at work?"
"Who doesn't want to make money, Brother Sun. ”
"You are better than me, I came out to work for a year and thought about how to spend money when I went back for the New Year, bring some of the best cigarettes and alcohol back to show off, if Mr. Li borrowed me a car to go back, it would be handsome and my daughter-in-law was found, but unfortunately I didn't dare to mention it to the boss, haha......"
"Don't think about the car, but Brother Sun must buy a lot of good cigarettes and good wine. ”
"I have to go back and let my relatives and friends taste it. By the way, if you really don't want to go back, stay and guard the store, you can talk to Mr. Li, arranging people to guard the store every year is also a headache for Mr. Li, everyone wants to go back to reunite, 200 a day, 20 days off, similar to your odd jobs for a semester. ”
"No one does such a good thing?"
"The salary and benefits of our No. 1 Mansion are usually enough to spend, unless it is a last resort, otherwise who wants to keep the store. ”
"I'm going to talk to Mr. Li now. ”
"Don't look at what time it is, how can Mr. Li be in the office now, tomorrow, no one will rob you. Xiao Sun looked at Su Yi'an's eager appearance and said a little angrily.
The next day, Su Yi'an waited for Li Hardware in the office early.
"You really don't want to go home?"
"Our transportation is not convenient, the price of the car during the New Year is increased, back and forth is not 800 no, it is better to stay in this store, not to mention the money to earn the best of both worlds. ”
"Did Xiao Sun tell you?"
"Well, I asked Brother Sun about it. ”
"This kid, I originally planned to let him guard the store this year, and I will trap you first. ”
"No, I'm too late to be grateful. ”
"Okay, I'll give you two hundred and sixty-six yuan a day, and it's auspicious." ””
"Thank you, Mr. Li. There's something I wonder if I can say?"
"Don't be so inhibited, just say it. ”
Brother Sun said that his biggest wish was to borrow a car from Mr. Li to go home for the New Year, so that he could find a daughter-in-law. ”
Li Hardware was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Let him drive the Mitsubishi Pajero back, and only that car can run on the road in Liangshan, Sichuan, tell him to refuel himself." ”
Su Yi'an also mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Li Hardware to agree, and he happily went out to make a phone call with Xiao Sun.
"What? You said Boss Li asked me to drive his Mitsubishi Pajero home for the New Year?"
"Yes, how many times do you have to ask, my brother?"
"Wait, cheer yourself?"
"Is it possible to reimburse Mr. Li for your round-trip fuel expenses?"
"No, I mean it's easy?"
"That's it. ”
"Hahaha...... Okay, you wait, I'll come over and invite you to dinner right away. ”
"Forget about eating, I'll solve it alone in the fast food restaurant downstairs. ”
"That's not good, the party in the store is the day after tomorrow, and it was originally planned that our group's arrangement would be tomorrow, but tonight our brothers will get together first, waiting. ”
Xiao Sun's house was rented in a private house near the White Dragon Temple, and he went downstairs and rode his bicycle for 30 yuan to the No. 1 Mansion in a hurry, and called Su Yi'an and the two of them to go to the veteran hot pot city to have a shabu.
"Hold, this is for you. ”
Su Yi'an looked at a superb cloud smoke in front of him: "Brother Sun, you know that I have no addiction to smoking and rarely smoke, what are you doing for me." ”
"I'm sending it to a friend. ”
"I have no friends in Spring City, it's useless to hold it, you better take it back and smoke it for relatives and friends in your hometown. ”
"Then what do you want, you have helped me a lot, I have to express it. ”
"Is it okay to really want anything?"
"Say whatever you want. ”
"Okay, then I'm not welcome, Brother Sun brought me some potatoes from home when he came back, I think the potatoes in Liangshan are similar to those in my hometown, and the potatoes in Chuncheng don't know if it's because of the variety or the chef's problem, and I can't eat the taste." ”
"That's it?" Xiao Sun's chopsticks for brushing mutton stopped on the hot pot and looked at Su Yi'an in a daze.
"Didn't you notice that the potatoes here don't taste good at all?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you still ask!"
"Okay, when I come back, I'll pull you two hundred catties so that you can eat enough, and it's true that there are no potatoes and I don't feel like eating meat doesn't taste too good. ”
"You can't eat so much, fifty catties is enough, you can prepare the rest for Mr. Li." ”
"The boss is indispensable, and so are yours. ”
Su Yi'an is not an ignorant person, the environment in which he was born has shaped a sensitive and slightly inferior character, good at observing faces, and at the same time open-minded, he has nothing in the first place, and what else has to lose. Since the foreman on the fifth floor of Mansion No. 1 changed jobs, Xiao Sun is in charge of the business on the sixth floor, and at the same time helps the fifth floor deal with tricky problems, Xiao Sun has enough weight in Mr. Li's field of vision, so Su Yi'an also tried to see if he could take a look at Xiao Sun's wish, whether he succeeds or not, there is no loss for him, but Li Hardware has a good or bad impression of him.
The two-day schedule was fully arranged, the little grandson on the sixth floor organized, the meeting place was still the veteran hot pot city, and the brothers exchanged blessings during the banquet, Su Yi'an's age is not too young or too big here, and there are younger brothers than him, everyone knows that he works while going to school, and usually takes care of Su Yi'an to toast one by one, but fortunately it is just the security group brought by their little grandson, if the other groups are also drinking a circle, he has to lie down.
The year-end party of Mansion No. 1 was held in their headquarters Afang Palace, the banquet was on the grade, no one dared to make a time, sat in a proper manner, and waited for the heads of various departments of Mansion No. 1 to make a work summary and next year's work plan, it was Mr. Li's turn to speak, Mr. Li did not talk nonsense, thanked all the employees of Mansion No. 1 for their efforts, and then sent a New Year's red envelope, Su Yi'an opened it and looked at 500 yuan, almost a month's income when he was in school, and happily hid the red envelope. The red envelope is not within the scope of the bonus, the bonus is calculated according to the performance, Su Yi'an only does odd jobs, and the bonus is a symbolic four hundred, but he is content, nine hundred yuan plus the salary of ten days of winter vacation, he plans to remit a thousand yuan to his grandparents for the New Year, and keep the rest for next year's living expenses.
After waiting for the people to leave, Su Yi'an dialed the phone number of his neighbor's cousin, asked for his cousin's bank card number, and then gave his cousin help to take it out to his grandparents in the township. Uncle cousin told not to do illegal and criminal things, repeatedly warned to cherish his studies, and then went to Su Yi'an's house and asked him to tell his grandparents, Su Yi'an said that he planned not to go back for the New Year, and said that his current job is to guard the student dormitory at school and earn a high salary, so that his grandparents can rest assured. From the mouths of my grandparents, I was relieved to know that my father and they went back for the New Year this year.
After remitting the money, he checked that the balance was more than 6,000, of which 4,000 was remitted by Zhao Jianping. The New Year's store has an income of about 5,003, which is enough for his living expenses for next year, from childhood to adulthood, he doesn't have to worry about living expenses for the first time, he is very grateful, thanks to Li Hardware, Li Hardware, who usually guards the store, gives two hundred and one days, he gives two hundred and sixty-six, saying that it is Geely is actually helping Su Yi'an, and he also understands in his heart, but the gap between the two sides is too big, only in mind.
Mansion No. 1 is in the same building as the shopping mall, the first to third floors are the management of the shopping mall, and the third to sixth floors are the No. 1 Mansion, Su Yi'an inspects several times a day, and the thieves generally do not put their ideas on the No. 1 Mansion, and the large items cannot be taken away and the small ones are not valuable, mainly to see other hidden dangers such as circuit fires, random destruction, etc.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Yi'an finished eating the mixed pot dishes he made in the store with the microwave oven and small electric stove that he usually heats for customers, and walked towards the Expo Park alone. Even if the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Expo Park is still full of tourists, fortunately there is no admission fee, otherwise he will definitely be reluctant to spend those dozens of dollars to play, he has been waiting for the dendrology course to come here for free tickets, but when he bought vegetables, he heard that the Chinese New Year's Eve was free of charge, so he turned around to take a look.
Walking in the halls of the Expo Park, Su Yi'an can only use Grandma Liu to describe himself as entering the Grand View Garden, in the Spring City for half a year, he went out of the "far door" with Liu Dachuan and them to buy a computer, the key is that he walked that road, for such a long time, his life is the college, No. 1 Mansion two points and one line, at least Zhao Jianping took him to the Internet café to survive the night, and after arriving at the university, he was pressed by the high living expenses to only two points and one line. He enjoyed the rare scenery alone, the domestic pavilions with different styles and foreign exotic customs, and the sound of "tsk ......" was made when he saw it, although no one shared it with him, but he completely fell in love with the forestry major, and the original professional who just wanted to make a living was instantly tall in his eyes.
"Hi...... I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
A beautiful figure appeared in front of Su Yi'an's eyes out of thin air, startling him.
"Gao Yuan...... Why are you here?"
Looking at Su Yi'an, who was taken aback, Gao Yuan smiled happily.
"Why can't I be here?"
"No, I remember that your hometown seems to be from a mountain town, right?"
"yes, but that doesn't affect me being here!"
"Oh, too, it's nice to meet you in Russia. ”
"What Russia met me?"
"This is the Russian Pavilion!"
"Haha...... Well, we met in Russia. ”
"Why didn't you go back for the New Year?"
"What about you?"
"I keep the store, the salary is more than five times the usual, and it is rare to encounter such a big business in a year, and I did not resist the temptation to stay and go to work. ”
"More than five times as much?"
"Yes, in fact, the boss deliberately took care of me, in previous years, I gave two hundred and one days, and the boss gave an extra sixty-six every day. ”
"The treatment is good, remember to treat the salary when you pay it. ”
"No problem, the White Rabbit is full of toffee. ”
"Yuanyuan......" A voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
Su Yi'an looked at the man called "Yuanyuan" not far away, dressed in navy blue, not a suit, a jacket without pockets and trousers, a pair of simple, clean and old leather shoes, short hair, the handsome middle-aged uncle is more capable, and a bookish atmosphere is even more extraordinary. There was a woman standing next to Gao Yuan, with a gentle temperament, and Su Yi'an knew at a glance that it was Gao Yuan's parents.
"This is my mom and dad, and this is my classmate Su Yi'an. Gao Yuan introduced to both sides.
"Happy New Year to uncles and aunts!"
"Happy New Year, Xiao Su. Gao Yuan's mother also greeted Su Yi'an, and Gao Yuan's father smiled.
"Eh, I won't bother you, it's rare for your family to get together, accompany your uncle and aunt well, goodbye Gao Yuan!" Su Yi'an greeted Gao Yuan with interest and left.
"Let's go shopping. ”
"Thank you Gao Yuan, I plan to visit Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, see you later. ”
"Let's have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight. ”
"I'd love to have a big meal with you, but ......"
"Strength is not allowed!" Su Yi'an said before he finished speaking.
"Not this time, eating is my forte, I can't help myself, I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, I can't leave my post without permission, thank you for your kindness. Saying that, Su Yi'an waved his hand and walked in the direction where Gao Yuan's parents came in, and when he walked in, he said again, "Goodbye, uncle and aunt." Then he walked straight away.
"Don't forget the gift you promised me..."
"No, it's ...... full" After speaking, Su Yi'an's back disappeared at the door of the exhibition hall.
"Look at you, other people's children are scared!" Gao Yuan's mother complained.
"Who asked Yuanyuan to ask for gifts from others at will. ”
"You didn't give me a gift back then?"
"That's different. ”
"Why not?"
"Stop, stop...... "We're here to play, not to see the two of you show affection, Gao Yuan saw his parents' endless posture and stopped in time."
"Yuanyuan, are you a classmate?" asked Gao Yuan's mother.
"No, it's a level, he's a forestry major. ”
"It's rare for you to take the initiative to say hello to a male classmate, talk about it, and your mother will check it for you. ”
"Forget it, it's not what you think. Besides, if you look at my dad, I don't laugh a few times a year, except for Shuaizhen, I don't know how my mother chose it back then. ”
"It's enough to be handsome, enough for your mother and me to watch for a lifetime. ”
"Huh...... It's good if you're happy. Gao Yuan said with a little disgust.
"When your dad was young, he was at least ten times more handsome than the kid just now, right?" Gao Yuan's father was a little unconvinced, and was disgusted by his little padded jacket.
"It's hard to say handsome, but Dad, when you were young, you had this height, you could dunk, how many kilometers could you run? Alas...... If you can't tie the chicken, how can you be handsome?"
"He's the classmate you said you said was going to school while working?"
"yes, that's him. Isn't it amazing, Dad, when you were young, did you work while supporting your own schooling?"
"Not really. ”
"Look at me, just say, the strength doesn't allow it!"
"What strength is not allowed?"
"Grandpa's strength doesn't allow Dad to work. ”
"That's pretty much it...... No, I don't think you still look down on your dad!"
"How is it possible, Dad is the best. ”
"That's pretty much it! I said Yuanyuan, you're an adult, and your dad won't interfere in your college life, so you can be cautious about making friends. ”
"I know, I'm different from my mother, I'm not a face control, I look at my heart. ”
"That's good...... It's not right, why do I think it's sarcastic to your dad and me?"
"Really no, isn't it the three views that my father taught me since I was a child!"
"That's just as well!"
"Yuanyuan, what did you just call him?" asked Gao Yuan's mother.
"Su Yi'an!"
"Leaning on the south window to be proud, judging the ease of the knee. Who took his name? How dare he take the name of Yi'an Jushi!"
"What's this, how many people in China are called Li Yu? Besides, it's easy to feel at ease!"
"Also, I was born without a hometown, and peace of mind is where I belong. I hope the name is like it, but I don't know if there is Yi'an just now, and I'm a little arrogant. ”
"If a young man is not arrogant, then what is he called a young man? ”
"You can have arrogance, but if you can't be arrogant, you will suffer a big loss. ”
"Mom and Dad, it's rare for our family to get together, why are we talking about that, let's take a walk...... When you have time, ask him to go in person. Saying that, Gao Yuan pulled his parents to enjoy the scenery.
It was rare for the family to come out to play together, talking and laughing and walking away. Su Yi'an also walked around the Expo Park in general, and then returned to the store satisfied.
The doorman uncle knew that Su Yi'an was celebrating the New Year in the store, so he asked Su Yi'an to help watch it, Su Yi'an looked at the Spring Festival Gala and thought about his grandparents, "Grandparents shouldn't be lonely with their younger brothers." He said to himself, and then dialed Zhao Jianping's phone, and after being scolded by Zhao Jianping, he happily watched the Spring Festival Gala, at twelve o'clock the fireworks over the Expo Park, Su Yi'an was drinking wine and smoking on the roof of the sixth floor of Mansion No. 1, except that he missed his grandparents a little bit and never felt so comfortable.
