Chapter 7 Chewing the Root of the Tongue
Even if you pick a restaurant located in the middle of the two, it still takes more than an hour to take the bus home, and when you get off the bus, it rains a little outside, not much, but the temperature has dropped significantly at this time, and the wind is blowing fiercely, in fact, it is still quite cold.
Wu Bei tightened her coat and walked briskly home. When passing by a convenience store, she thought that tomorrow was Sunday, she didn't have to go to work, she tossed it tonight, and she wouldn't be too lazy to take the car back to her grandmother for so long tomorrow, she just wanted to rest at home, so why don't you buy a bento or rice balls to go back, and you can eat it directly when you wake up and warm up tomorrow.
This thought just shook in her head for a moment, because it was too cold outside, and when she walked to the door of the convenience store, her body had already crossed her brain and automatically made a choice, and she continued to walk forward without stopping, but after a few steps out, the rain suddenly became heavier, and it was as fierce as a basin of water buckled from the top of her head.
Wu Bei scolded her mother in shock, she just wants to go back and lie in the quilt and hold the hot water bottle to warm up for a while, but if she runs home under such a heavy and rapid rain, it may not only be a situation where she can warm up after lying down for a while, at least she has to take a new bath and cook a ginger soup to drink, otherwise a cold and fever are not a dream.
She hesitated for a moment, but chose to turn back and take shelter in the rain at the convenience store on the side of the road for a while. In just ten seconds, the clothes on her body were already wet, but fortunately, it was quite warm in the store, Wu Bei took off her coat, and the boss pointed to the radiator in the corner, signaling that she could put the clothes there and bake them for a while, Wu Bei thanked her.
After setting up her coat, she recovered a little heat, but her hands and feet were still cold, so Wu Bei bought a cup of milk tea, asked the store manager to help flush it with hot water, and walked to the seat next to the seat with the cup and sat down, but soon, she couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth again, but this time it didn't burst out, because the object who shocked her so much that she secretly scolded the street was sitting opposite her at the moment.
When she first came in, she noticed that there were other people in the store, but she didn't care.
Due to the small size of this convenience store, only two narrow KFC-style tables are placed at the door. As for why they were put together, rather than placed separately at a short distance, because the two tables were placed in the direction of the door, and the end against the wall, that is, the end where Wu Bei was sitting, was placed on a two-seater sofa, the kind made of white net.
Wu Bei genuinely questioned: Why do you want to put a two-seater sofa here, is there only one chair for one table? Or are the other two chairs lost by the shopkeeper? This small and fresh woven sofa does not match the simple convenience store style at all......
Questioning didn't help her situation, she and Brother Hu opposite, no, Fan Liang, sat too close, looked at each other, and couldn't pretend not to notice at all.
The two looked at each other in silence for two seconds, and Wu Bei decided to say hello first.
"What a coincidence. She said.
"En" Fan nodded his head, "Why are you here?"
"The house I rented is near here, and when I got here, I came in to take shelter when it rained heavily. What about you, how did you get here? Moved?" she remembered that Fan Liang's family and her grandmother's family were in the same community, and they were not in this area, and he worked in Beijing, and it was impossible for him to rent a house here like himself, so it was really strange that he would appear here.
"No, I'll send a friend home and drop by to rest for a while. ”
"Oh, girlfriend?" Wu Bei didn't think about this, and said it directly, and after finishing speaking, she wanted to bite off her tongue.
However, Fan Liang didn't have any special reaction, smiled and said, "It's not a girlfriend." Actually, my mother had to let me come back on a blind date, and it was quite late and it was not safe for the girl to come back alone, so I sent it away. ”
"Tsk, it's really the same mom in the same world. Wu Bei answered again, and after taking it, she felt magical, reunited with her long-lost ex-boyfriend, and the first chat was actually their own blind date experience.
"Why did you just come back from a blind date?" Fan Liang grinned, with a sympathetic look in his eyes.
He has had a characteristic since he was a student, that is, as long as he wants to, he usually doesn't talk to others coldly, and he can make the other party feel very relaxed and comfortable, so he has always had a lot of friends.
Now with just three or two sentences, Wu Bei feels that she has been completely freed from embarrassment, and next time she meets on the street, she should be able to face it normally, and there will be no brain nerve disorder.
In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why she felt awkward when she saw Fan Liang may be due to the fact that she was too young when she fell in love with the other party, including the way she broke up, and she did a lot of things that she feels very ashamed and stupid when she thinks about it now, but since the other party hasn't been holding on to those and treating her with the attitude of treating stupid people - at least not on the surface, she doesn't need to always remind herself of her memories.
"That's right," Wu Bei said, "I feel quite bored, and now I can barely remember what I ate or said two hours ago." ”
"Then your memory is not much stronger than that of a fish. Fan Liang said with a smile.
Wu Bei was stunned, but seeing that Fan Liang looked calm, without any insinuation, he secretly scolded himself for being hypocritical, and rolled his eyes at him jokingly.
The two didn't talk for a while, each playing with their own mobile phones, each drinking their own milk tea, and after about half an hour, Wu Bei saw that the rain had decreased a lot, and decided to run back quickly, otherwise the ghost weather would not know how to change for a while.
"I'm going back first, how do you get there? At this time, the bus has already stopped, or do you want to stay in the neighborhood for the night, I know there is a chain hotel on the corner of this street." ”
"I'll take a taxi back, how far is your house from here? ”
Wu Bei hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, it's only ten minutes to walk, you can walk yours." ”
"Ten minutes is also a distance, it's dark outside, it's raining and there are few people, let's go together, ten minutes without delaying a taxi." ”
Fan Liang kept sending her downstairs before saying goodbye and leaving, Wu Bei couldn't help but compare him with the blind date, one took the initiative to send his ex-girlfriend downstairs, and the other even if he was polite, he didn't mention that he wanted to give the girl he met a ride, which was really not very flattering.
That's right, this reason is very specific, I'll say this to Chen Junmei next time!
In the next few days, Wu Bei has been busy reviewing, no, preview the scope of Friday's exam, the preview effect is quite good, when she answers the paper, she feels like she is writing like a god, less than half of the exam time is used for an hour, and more than 95 points are trivial.
In the afternoon, everyone in the branch held another quarterly meeting, as usual, to summarize the past, look forward to planning the future.
Usually this kind of meeting has to be held from noon to the end of work in the afternoon, and their fat leader does not know if he has not recovered from the laziness of annual leave, for this meeting obviously did not prepare in advance, only spoke for less than half an hour, and basically read according to the ppt, when not reading the ppt, she repeated the slogan inexplicably, Wu Bei silently thought, if her ppt was also at this level, it is estimated that she will not be able to finish college, and she will be humiliated to death by the defense teacher.
A few more employees went up to "recite" the quarterly summary, but still didn't get to the end of work, Fat Liu seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and waved his hand and said: "People who don't have important work to do at this time should go to clean, I haven't done a big cleaning for a long time." ”
No one specifically assigned tasks, everyone looked at where there was work, Wu Bei looked around, saw that the broom and mop were gone, so he took a rag and prepared to wipe the glass, and after a while, another old tour guide named Han Lin in the company leaned over and said, "I'll clean the glass with you." ”
"Okay. Wu Bei said.
"Then I'll go find a rag too. ”
When the two said this, Wang Lu happened to sweep the floor in the same room, swept to Wu Bei's feet, she deliberately glanced out of the door a few times, then leaned around, leaned over to Wu Bei's ear and whispered: "Tsk, look at it, she went to find a rag, and she will never come back in ten minutes." ”
Wu Bei felt that there was something in her words, and was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"I'm lazy, I don't want to work hard. ”
Wang Lu and Wu Bei are in the company before and after, but the positions are different, and Wang Lu is doing the planning. The two of them are close in age and have compatible personalities, and during the training period, they often got together to bite their ears, cultivating a deep revolutionary friendship, and they did not have so many scruples when they spoke.
Wu Bei smiled and said, "How do you know her so well?"
"Hey, hey, pull it down, I don't know her! But every time she does a big cleaning, she doesn't see anyone, and many people in the company know about it, and I heard Xiao Feng and Lele muttering about it last time." ”
Wu Bei pouted: "It's really unnecessary, you won't be tired to die by wiping the floor and wiping the glass, although I don't like to be used as a cleaner." ”
"People don't think the same as us, don't you think she's quite a princess sick? People in their thirties, usually talk sticky, before Lele got married and asked when she planned to do things, what do you think she said?"
Wang Lu deliberately cleared his throat and pressed his throat to lengthen his voice: "What kind of marriage are you going to marry?" Actually, I don't want to marry him at all, I can't earn two dollars a month, so it's useless, I didn't agree to him last time he proposed to me. ”
"I thought to myself, if you think your boyfriend is useless, why don't you find a new one before you break up early? I've been talking for so many years, I have no intention of getting married, and I've been dragging people around, isn't this a typical donkey to find a horse? And I don't think she can find any good horses at all!"
Wu Bei was very surprised, "Mom, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing." But maybe it's actually her boyfriend who doesn't want to get married, or there are other problems between the two, she thinks it's more face-saving in front of others. ”
"Who knows," Wang Lu shrugged, "but the other thing is definitely not that I wronged her, just once before when you were not in the company, I bumped into her privately chewing the root of her tongue with Fat Liu, saying that these domestic routes, Hainan is one of the few locations with the most shopping potential, tourists buy more companies to earn more, in this regard, some new tour guides who are not so familiar with the situation of routes and shopping spots are definitely not as good as her old tour guide." I rely on me to think, the company's new tour guide to Hainan recently, isn't that you?"
"Fuck, this slut!" Wu Bei's eyes widened instantly.
No matter how lazy Han Lin is, how serious the princess's illness is, whether she is immorally playing with other people's feelings and riding a donkey to find a horse, this is just a meal for her, after all, the two usually don't have much contact, but she actually chewed the root of her tongue behind her back, and secretly rubbed herself in front of the leader to make a stumbling block, this person's image instantly changed from a not very good passerby to a very shameless stupid thing.
"No, it's none of her business how well I meet my shopping targets, as if the money could go into her pocket. Besides, although I have been to Hainan a few times recently, the list assigned to her has not become less because of this, is it possible that she can still lead eight groups at the same time...... What did you say about her? What did Fat Liu say?"
Wang Lu was about to answer, when the accountant came in with a mop, "Have you finished sweeping this house?" ”
Wang Lu had no choice but to say, "It's over, you can wipe it." Then he left Wu Bei a look for next time, and took the broom to help elsewhere.
