Chapter 6: Their Story
"You're back!" Xiao Xiao and Ying Ying saw a beautiful woman sitting on the bed watching a movie as soon as they entered the door.
"Sister Ling!", Xiao Xiao and Ying Ying took off the bags on their backs, and then went to wash.
Sister Ling - formerly known as Zhang Lingling, born in 1988, directly joined the work after graduating from high school, and now works as a waiter in a supermarket, Sister Ling just got married a month ago, but due to work reasons, Sister Ling returned to work on the third day after marriage.
Xiao Xiao and Ying Ying returned to the house after washing up, and saw Sister Ling on the phone, "Okay, okay, okay, it's decided, I'll call you when the time comes." ”
Sister Ling hung up the phone and immediately asked excitedly: "I'm going back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, what do you say to bring something to my parents-in-law?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned all of a sudden, what to bring?
Ying Ying rubbed out a sentence, "Sister Ling, you can ask your husband and see what he says." ”
"I was talking to him on the phone just now, and he said let me watch it, a child is a child, and he doesn't understand anything. Sister Ling seemed to be helpless.
"Child, why is it a child?" asked Ying Ying curiously.
"My husband is three years younger than me, so he is still a kid in my eyes. ”
"Oh, you can buy some fruit, it's better to eat more fruit in the summer!" Ying Ying offered advice on the side.
"Well, that's a great idea! Do you want the one to be nicely packaged? Get a flower basket?"
"No, it's all a family, there's no need to be so rusty, you can buy it for your in-laws how you usually buy it for your parents. Xiao Xiao interjected on the side.
"Xiao Xiao is right! It's simple!" Ying Ying assisted on the side.
"You're right!" Sister Ling nodded.
Ying Ying jumped out of bed and sat next to Sister Ling, "Sister Ling, can I ask you a question?"
"What questions, you ask. ”
"Is sibling love reliable?"
Sister Ling sneered and laughed, "What's the matter, little girl, are you in love?"
"Without Sister Ling, I'm just asking casually. Hearing Ying Ying ask this question, Xiao Xiao immediately pricked up his ears.
"Sister and brother love to see fate, fate becomes unimportant when it comes to age, I have known my husband since I was very young, I went to school late, I was a classmate with him, we worked directly after graduating from high school, my parents saw that I was older and urged me to get married all day long, there was no way, I entered the palace of marriage with my husband. ”
"Wow, it turns out that you are childhood sweethearts!
Sister Ling had a shallow smile on her face, Xiao Xiao absentmindedly held a novel, frowned, and seemed to have forgotten where she looked.
It rained heavily, and it started to rain non-stop early in the morning, and Teacher Li saw that the weather was not good, so he asked Yingying and Xiao Xiao to watch the children write in the house.
Teacher Li went out after the lecture, most of the children are very obedient, after listening to Teacher Li's lecture are very consciously sitting on the chair to practice, of course, there are a few younger children who are not sensible, very playful, not obedient to write, but Xiao Xiao has a way, holding a few lollipops, to the children said: "You obediently finish your homework and you will have lollipops to eat, if you are not obedient, you will not eat!" As soon as the children saw that there was candy to eat, they obediently wrote their homework.
Ying Ying saw that the children were so well-behaved and quiet, so she sat on the sofa and drank a drink, and Xiao Xiao also sat down after a while.
"Xiao Xiao, it's really yours, look at those children, one is more obedient than the other. ”
"Children are so coaxed, and I was coaxed by my mother when I was a child. ”
The old lady brought over two apples and put them in front of Xiao Xiao and Yingying, "I'll give you something to eat, it's been a hard morning." ”
"Thank you, Grandma!" the two men said in unison.
"By the way, why hasn't Mr. Li come back after going out for so long?Grandma, do you know where he went?" asked Yingying.
"He's gone to see his daughter!"
"Daughter?" Xiao Xiao wondered.
"My son is divorced, my granddaughter follows her mother, her mother, she is a good gambler, likes to play mahjong, loses a lot of money, and is unable to raise children, my son will go to see their mother and daughter every month to help them. The old lady sighed.
"Okay, how did you get divorced?" As soon as Xiao Xiao asked, Ying Ying pushed her, and Xiao Xiao seemed to understand what she meant.
"My former daughter-in-law, disgusted that my son was poor, since marrying into my family, she has not lived a good life with my son, she plays mahjong every day, does not work, and divorces every day, I remember the most impressive time is that my son was in a car accident because of her. The old lady was already choked, "She didn't let my son sleep at night, and my son would be pulled up by her when he fell asleep, so it lasted for several days, my son was not a calligraphy teacher at that time, he was a driver, and he had to deliver goods every day, he was too sleepy, and when he was driving, he dozed off and couldn't concentrate, so he had a car accident, and he lay down for several days in the hospital, and almost didn't wake up." ”
"Ahh
"A few days ago, the neighbor gave my son a blind date, and he looked good, but the conversation broke down halfway through the meal. The old lady sighed!
Xiao Xiao and Ying Ying looked at the old lady blankly.
"The blind date asked my son a question, that is, to ask where my son lives, my son said that he lives in the Longde community, and then she said that the community here is very high-end, so she asked how much it cost to buy this house. My son said that the houses here are all rented, and when he divorced, he gave all the property to his ex-wife, and the blind date changed his face when he heard this, and threw out a sentence: Didn't you say that you have two houses? It turned out that they were all rented, and you and the matchmaker lied to me. As soon as my son heard this, he immediately left, and he never went on a blind date again. The old lady continued to sigh!
"Mr. Li used to be a driver, but now he is a calligraphy teacher, this is a bit big!" Xiao Xiao asked puzzled.
"Writing calligraphy is my son's hobby since he was a child, he loves to write calligraphy since he was three years old, and has read a lot of books to practice writing, but his father doesn't understand him, scolding him all day long, not letting him write these calligraphy, saying that there is no future in researching this thing, so my son and his father have always had a bad relationship, and the two often say two words and stare at each other, but his father is now old, his brain and ears are not good, seeing that his son is now teaching calligraphy so successfully, his father slowly began to recognize him to do this business。 The old lady glanced at the old man who was leaning against the window and reading the newspaper.
"It's really not easy for Mr. Li, who has suffered so much. Ying Ying's eyes drooped, her eyes were full of sadness, Xiao Xiao was also in a heavy mood, and she was silent. The atmosphere at the moment is like a rainy day outside the house, overcast and gloomy.
Every night, I will see that the two girls in the opposite room are almost eleven o'clock and do not come back, at that time the girls in the whole room have slept halfway, and suddenly one night these two girls came back very early, one of the girls came to Ying Ying and Xiao Xiao's room, this girl has beautiful eyebrows, slightly short, a little dark skin, wearing a small black skirt, a white T-shirt, and her slender legs can completely cover up her short flaws.
"Two little beauties, are you new high school graduates?" the girl asked in a stinky voice.
"Yes, what's the matter? Xiao Xiao was holding an apple and nibbling on it, and Ying Ying was watching a movie with headphones, and she didn't seem to hear all this.
"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with, are you free now?" the girl stood in the doorway.
"Yes, you can say it!" Xiao Xiao pushed Ying Ying, who was watching a movie, and Ying Ying immediately took off her headphones.
"How is your English, I'm studying at night college right now, the course is over, and the exam is coming soon, but my English is very bad, and if I can't pass the exam, I won't get my diploma, so I thought—can you help me—go to the exam!"
"Help you take the exam?" Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, and Ying Ying was also stunned.
"If I find out, will there be any bad records?" asked Yingying.
"No, don't worry, the night exam is not strict, if you find out, at most you will be kicked out of the classroom, there is no other bad record, you can rest assured!"
"Oh. Ying Ying's face was expressionless.
The girl ran to her room and got an English workbook, "This is my workbook, you can try a few questions." ”
Ying Ying took the workbook and did a few questions, and the girl clapped in surprise after seeing that the answers were all correct.
"Your English is good, you can take the test for me! Trouble you, little beauty, I can't help it!" the girl begged.
"Well, as long as it's okay. Yingying couldn't refuse, so she agreed.
The next day, the three of them came to the examination room, the girl was very enthusiastic, bought breakfast for the two of them, and then Yingying entered the examination room smoothly, Xiao Xiao waited outside the door, and at the same time there was another girl waiting outside the door, this girl was wearing a blue T-shirt, white shorts and white sneakers, "Hello, are you also here for the exam?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned, looked at the tall girl, and said, "Oh, I don't take the exam, it's my classmates who take the exam inside." Are you a candidate, hurry up and get in!"
"I don't have to go in, I've already asked my cousin to go in, she's a graduate student, and she looks a lot like me, the examiner shouldn't find out. The girl approached Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered.
Xiao Xiao panicked at this time, and immediately asked, "What will happen if I am discovered?"
"The punishment will not be, but it will definitely be kicked out. Is someone taking the test for you?"
"No, I'm just asking!" Xiao Xiao was silent.
After about half an hour, Ying Ying came out, Xiao Xiao saw Ying Ying come out, and immediately greeted her, "How is it?
"Yes!"
"Yes?" Xiao Xiao's eyes widened.
"I was kicked out, but the question was very simple, I had already finished answering, and after the invigilator kicked me out, the sister was invited in. ”
"Oh, it's okay, let's go back!" Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good. Ying Ying didn't look worried.
There are two girls in the next room, who usually don't like to talk, so naturally they are not close to Xiao Xiao and Yingying, but one day because of a small misunderstanding, everyone got in touch with each other and became familiar.
Ying Ying likes to wear white sneakers, one day Ying Ying put the washed white sneakers on the balcony, after a few days Ying Ying took the white sneakers into the house and put them on, that night I heard someone in the living room shouting, it seemed to be looking for something, Xiao Xiao and Ying Ying heard the sound outside the house and went out to see what was going on.
"It's not my sneakers, mine is new, they're a bit old. The girl held the pair of white sneakers in her hand and looked helplessly at her companion.
"Don't worry, let's go and ask the neighbors, probably someone accidentally took the wrong one. Another girl comforted.
Xiao Xiao looked carefully at the pair of white sneakers in the girl's hand, suddenly realized, poked Ying Ying beside her, Ying Ying was dragged into the room by Xiao Xiao as soon as she turned her head, Ying Ying was confused, Xiao Xiao said, "Ying Ying, do you see if the pair of white sneakers under your bed are yours?"
"Ahh
"Question?ah!" Ying Ying yelled and immediately rushed out of the room, "That sister, let me look at the sneakers in your hand," Ying Ying looked at the sneakers and immediately apologized embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, I accidentally took your shoes wrong, I'll take your shoes out immediately, you wait a while." ”
Later, because of this little misunderstanding, they became friends with the two girls in the next room, and everyone sat together to play cards and brag about it.
During this time of contact with them, Xiao Xiao learned that both of them were recent college graduates, one studying accounting, the other studying medicine, one working as an accountant in the trade city, and the other working as a nurse in a nearby hospital. The two girls often work overtime and often make reports that others can't understand. Xiao Xiao once asked them why they were so busy at work, and they all said that if the rookie who just worked didn't work hard, he would be eliminated.
After a while, the part-time job ended, and the part-time life was quite smooth, and the salary was settled on the day of the end, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon after the salary was settled, and the two girls hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to retreat.
"Yingying, slow down, I'm carrying too many things to catch up with you. Xiao Xiao panted and followed behind Yingying.
"Xiao Xiao, hurry up, the taxi has been waiting for us for a long time. Yingying also carried large bags and small bags, running all the way.
The two of them climbed into the taxi and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yingying, we will start school in three days, let's go buy some things together tomorrow, just spend our salary." ”
"Okay, see you at Superbrand Plaza at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Xiao Xiao was excited like a child.
Xiao Xiao returned home, it was already evening, Xiao's mother made a table of good dishes, Xiao Xiao put down all her things, lying on the table and gobbling it up, Xiao's mother saw her daughter eating like this, she was naturally very worried, "Xiao Xiao, eat slowly, don't choke, no one will rob you." ”
Father Xiao watched his daughter eat like this, and his face showed a smiling face, "Girl, you haven't eaten for a few days?
"Girl, you're going to college soon, and Mom and Dad are going to see you off. Father Xiao said.
"Dad, I'll be fine with Yingying, you and Mom don't have to send me. Xiao Xiao's mouth was full of food.
"How can that be done?" Xiao's mother immediately interjected, "In a city as big as Shanghai, it's the first time you've been there, so we have to send you off, or I'll worry about your father." As she spoke, Xiao's mother took a small bowl and helped Xiao Xiao serve a bowl of egg soup.
Xiao Xiao was silent, thinking to himself, let's discuss this matter later, let's eat first and then talk about it.
The moon outside the window - still very round and bright, and the atmosphere inside the house - is still so harmonious.
