Chapter 50: "Midnight Cowherd"
Before applying, I thought the community was very quiet, but I didn't expect so many things.
Han Xiaowu really regretted looking for this job, but he thought that after quitting, he would become idle, and leaving the community would be equivalent to giving up the circle of friends he had made with great difficulty, and it would be even more difficult to find a girlfriend.
In order to create a text, I walked tens of thousands of steps a day, and when I got home, I was exhausted, not to mention going to the pan study to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even wanted to cancel the evening exercise.
Han Su couldn't ask for it, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to sit down to catch up on the drama for a while, Han Xiaowu felt that he couldn't give up halfway, got up and said, "Xiao Mi, go get a swimsuit, don't run tonight, let's go swimming in the local tyrant gold tonight." ”
"Little uncle, you have become like this, can you swim?"
"If you can't swim, you have to swim. ”
"Why are you so troubled?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get your swimsuit and cap, bring a change of clothes, and take a shower there after swimming, and you won't have to take a shower when you come back. ”
"Okay. Han Sumi had no choice but to put down the TV remote control stupidly.
When the niece packed up her things, took her to the local tyrant gold by electric car, changed into a swimsuit, put on a swimming cap and swam a few laps, Han Xiaowu really couldn't swim, leaned on the edge of the pool and drank the water brought from home, looked at the niece who was fluttering over and asked, "Xiao Mi, which nursing home did you go to with Sister Wang last time?"
"You didn't look at my circle of friends?"
"I didn't care. ”
"You don't even look at my circle of friends, you don't like me!" Han Sumi muttered, panting and said, "Last time I went to Xinling Nursing Home, not far from the bus station. said that he was going to do public welfare, but in fact, he talked with the old man and the old lady for an afternoon, and I didn't know what to say to them, it didn't mean anything at all. ”
"Then what do you think is public welfare?"
"I volunteered once, and I don't know what it means to do public welfare. ”
"Talking to the elderly is doing public welfare. ”
"What kind of public welfare is this?"
Han Xiaowu put down the mineral water, smiled and asked, "Do you remember that Han Yujie had a godfather?"
Han Sumi knew more about his hometown than Han Xiaowu, and said without thinking: "Remember, that old man seems to have no children and no daughters, and he seems to live in a nursing home." ”
"Just remember, I heard your grandmother say that he didn't lack anything in the nursing home, so I wanted someone to see him and talk to him. Every New Year's holiday, I sit by the gate of the nursing home and wait. ”
"Waiting for whom?"
"Wait for Han Yujie's family to see him!"
Looking at his niece's thoughtful appearance, Han Xiaowu said seductively: "People live in this world, and they can't live without a thought. For example, I want to find a girlfriend if I don't want anything else, or you want to find a handsome guy and buy a house in the city, maybe I want to buy a car, these are the driving forces of our life. For Han Yujie's godfather, when Han Yujie's family goes to see him is the only thought he has in this world. If he didn't even have this thought, although he was alive as well, he was alive like a walking corpse, and it didn't mean anything at all. ”
Han Sumi was just heartless, not only not stupid but also very smart, blinking his eyes and asking, "Little uncle, so it is a good deed to go and talk to the old man and the old lady in the nursing home?"
"Of course, it's a good deed, and it's very meaningful. Otherwise, the Federation of Volunteers would not call this public welfare project 'the companionship of love', and it will be ten years to do it!"
"But I really don't want to go, it's really not interesting at all. ”
"I can understand, in fact, I have nothing to say when I go, and I will feel bored. ”
Han Sumi thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect the little uncle to say this, and he couldn't help laughing: "Little uncle, it turns out that you can't do it, and you don't think it's boring!"
Han Xiaowu took a sip of water and smiled bitterly: "If I really go, not only will I have nothing to say, but I will not only feel bored, but I will even feel guilty." ”
"What guilt?"
"I haven't been home much in these years, and it's rare to go back once and I don't have anything to say to your second grandfather and grandmother, and sometimes I annoy them. A person who doesn't even want to accompany his parents actually runs to a nursing home to accompany the lonely and widowed elderly, do you say sarcasm or not, do you say you will feel guilty?"
"It's kind of ...... to think about No, little uncle, are you talking about me?"
"I'm talking about myself. ”
"You must be talking about me!"
"If you don't think so, you're talking about myself as well as you. Speaking of this, I remember, in a few days it will be the Qingming Festival. Think about it, do you want to go back with me? ”
The niece is older, and some things can be pointed, and talking too much will only backfire. Han Xiaowu didn't wait for her to answer, he stretched out his arms, kicked his legs, and began to swim again. Han Sumi was caught off guard, was splashed with water, wiped his face and muttered: "Just talking about me, you know about me." ”
......
After swimming, return home.
As soon as he lay down, an old colleague who should have been busy flying up called again.
Han Xiaowu was tired and sleepy, and he really didn't want to answer the call, but he felt that it was not good not to answer, so he could only yawn and pick up the phone.
"Mr. Zhang, I am used to sleeping naked, and I have already laid down, so it is inconvenient for me to video today. ”
"Who rarely watches you, and besides, I don't plan to video with you. ”
"Then why are you calling me so late, I'm not a midnight cowherd, and I'll have to charge for it again. ”
"The charge is good, let's talk about five yuan first. ”
"Are you sending Hanako to talk to you, a hundred per minute, and no counteroffer. If you want to chat for a few minutes, you can make money first, WeChat and Alipay are available. ”
"Keep the accounts first, and then settle them together. "Zhang Mei prefers gossip to bickering, "No kidding, let's get down to business, where has I progressed with that female civil servant, and have you held hands." ”
"What's the matter with you?" Han Xiaowu yawned again.
"The old lady is curious, the old lady doesn't have time to fall in love, it's always okay to listen to your love story. ”
Han Xiaowu turned over and said impatiently: "This is my personal privacy, but you are not an outsider." Not much progress, maybe she's busy these days, and she said she didn't have time to make an appointment for dinner last week. I've been a little busy these days, and I haven't made an appointment since. ”
In Zhang Mei's opinion, there is nothing more interesting than the frustration of his old colleagues, and he couldn't help but make up for it: "I know it's no fun, and you don't want to think about it, with your current embarrassing age, the embarrassing job you do, can people look down on you?"
"Don't fall into the trap and act as if you're not embarrassed. If I'm not mistaken, in a few months, Mr. Zhang, you will be thirty years old!"
"Do you remember my birthday?"
"Isn't this nonsense, I was interviewing when you joined the company. If I hadn't relented and left your resume, would you be where you are today?"
"Oh, I remember, but I can enter the company because of Lao Wang's board, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. ”
"If I hadn't given your resume to Lao Wang, Lao Wang wouldn't even know that you were a man or a woman, he could only pat the table, and he wouldn't have to shoot if he wanted to!"
"So I should thank you?" Zhang Meixiao asked.
Han Xiaowu pretended to be unhappy and said, "Unthankful, it's people like you!"
Zhang Mei couldn't help asking: "Then how do you want me to repay this favor, do you want money or do you want me to make a promise?"
"It's late, I don't want anything, I want you to always remember that you owe me a favor, and let you owe me a lifetime. ”
"I thought you didn't want to repay your kindness, it turns out that your former gentlemanly demeanor was all pretended, and you men really don't have a good thing! The old lady is different from you, and you should repay the favor with a spring of water, so let's do it, if you haven't found true love in two years, and I haven't found the prince charming in my heart, then I will promise to repay your great kindness!"
Han Xiaowu knew that she was joking, to be precise, teasing him, a single dog, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Mr. Zhang, are you looking down on me, or are you treating me as a spare tire?"
"The old lady is willing to make peace with you because she can afford you!"
"I don't want you to look down on you, and I don't want to make peace with you. ”
Zhang Mei asked angrily: "Why, don't you even think of the old lady Lao Zhuhuang?"
Han Xiaowu knew that age was the last thing she wanted to mention, and she didn't want her tossing and turning and not being able to sleep, so she hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, frankly speaking, I am still satisfied with your appearance, figure, temperament, education, personality and even the deposits in the bank, which basically meets all my imagination of my future partner." The reason why I don't want to make peace with you is because I have finally made up my mind to get out of the sea of suffering, and I don't want to be another fierce man to plunge into it, and I don't want to become your free assistant and secretary. ”
"Just basically?"
"Not basic, but completely compliant, are you satisfied now?"
"It's pretty much the same," Zhang Mei turned his anger into joy, but he was too tired and sleepy, and he couldn't help yawning: "You continue to imagine, I should go to sleep, and I have to catch a plane tomorrow morning." ”
