Wenlan caught up with Uncle Agen, took out the red envelope that Yingzi had stuffed in the car just now and handed it to Uncle Agen, and troubled Uncle Agen to return it to Yingzi: "Uncle Agen, please take it back and return it to Yingzi, I have received her wishes." ”

Uncle Agen said: "Xiaolan, you are now using the money, you don't have to push this, take it." Uncle Agen didn't bring much money with him today, otherwise I should also express it when I saw your father and daughter go out. ”

"Uncle Agen, our family owes too much love to the people in the village, my mother often taught me to be grateful when I was alive, I can't forget everyone's care and care for me, I have to fight a way out no matter how I go out this time, and repay the people in the village in the future. ”

"Uncle Agen believes in you, if your mother hadn't been sick for many years, with your mother's ability and your father's hard work, your family would definitely have a good life, alas, this is fate. Uncle Agen sighed.

"Uncle Agen, I don't believe in fate, if there is really fate, I will also overcome fate, I don't believe that I can't fight for a good fate. Wen Lan said.

"Your strong personality is really like your mother, but I think you will keep this red envelope for the time being, Yingzi is also sincerely sent to you, you two little sisters I watched grow up, no one in the village has a relationship as good as you, even if it is a sister, it can't compare to you. ”

"I have received Yingzi's wishes, and I will repay the great kindness of the people in the village. I really can't accept this red envelope. I really don't have a lot of money with me, and I probably don't have a penny extra except for the settling-in fee. But this is better, only in this way can I be forced to find a job as soon as possible, and I will not be picky about the job, and better hone my will.

"But you're only 19 years old, and you still have a father to take care of......"

"19 years old, we people in the mountains are no longer little girls, Uncle Agen, don't worry, I will overcome all difficulties when I go out this time, and I will be a person, if I don't break out of the world, I won't be able to repay the people in the village, then I will have no shame to come back to see the neighbors of Zhaojia Village." ”

Uncle Agen said that he couldn't ask Lan, so he had to rely on her and bring back the red envelope. In the end, he repeatedly told Lan that the father and daughter would go to a strange city for the first time, and that they should be careful in everything, and said that if the road went well, they would arrive in Nanxin City at 4 pm tomorrow.

There were not many people on the bus, and I left on time at 5 o'clock. Maybe it's because it's almost the New Year, and there are few people going out. After arranging for his father to sit down, Wen Lan took out the cake he brought from home in his luggage and handed it to his father, "Dad, after we finished eating, we will sit and sleep all night, Uncle Agen said that Nanxin City will take a day and a night." ”

"Good. ”

It was Uncle Agen's idea to go to Nanxinshi. Uncle Agen is a person who runs transportation, and he said that Nanxin City has a developed economy, many factories, and it is easy to find a job. And to go out before the Spring Festival is Wenlan's idea, once my mother is gone, there are no relatives at home except for my father, and my grandparents have not interacted with my mother since she ran away from home in a fit of anger that year. Second, although the factories are closed during the Spring Festival, since the economy is so developed, there are always factories with their doors open, and the workers are all going home at this time, so it is more conducive for me to find a job at this time. Dad also agreed with her, saying that she was very similar to her mother, with many ways and not admitting defeat.

But even so, after all, I have never been far away, and the first time I went to a distant place, will a strange city accept our father and daughter? Earlier, when she was in school, she also had a dream of reporting to a big city as a college student, and even taking root in the city, taking her parents to live in the big city and cure her mother's illness. Now she is working hard in the city in another capacity, although the road is different, but the goal is still the same, she believes that she will be able to fight for something.

After a 24-hour long journey, we finally arrived in Nanxin City at 5 p.m. the next day. After getting off the train, Wenlan found a place in the station and asked his father to sit and wait for him first, don't leave, a strange place, and no mobile phone contact, in case you get lost, it's very troublesome, go find a place to live first.

Wen Lan walked out of the station and asked the traffic police on duty on the road about the rent agent. The intermediary Aunt Zhang was very enthusiastic to introduce the house to Wenlan.

Wen Lan said, "You can choose the cheapest one." ”

"Cheap, this is a single room, with a separate bathroom, air conditioning, TV, monthly rent of 500 yuan, pay for half a year. ”

"Is there anything cheaper?"

"No more. ”

There are many intermediaries here, and Wen Lan is going to take a look at another one.

"Wait. Aunt Zhang stopped and asked Lan, "There is still one in the house, and a foreigner went home and just moved out the day before yesterday." It's just that it can only be rented for a month, and it will be demolished after the year, and it will have to be moved out. There is a separate bathroom, a wardrobe, a bed, a futon, but no air conditioning, no TV, the rent is 400 yuan enough,"

"Such a small room costs 400 yuan, which is too expensive. ”

"It's not expensive, we have this price here, you just arrived in Nanxin City, you don't know the market here. ”

"The point is that it's only for a month, and it's the Chinese New Year, and no one will rent it. Wen Lan thought to herself, a month is fine, and she only has one month's rent on her.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly said, "Then you can pay a price." ”

“200。 ”

"It's too low, there's no $200 rent here. Why don't we compromise and how about 300 yuan. ”

Wen Lan thought about it, she still had 400 yuan on her body, 100 yuan after paying the rent, and 100 yuan on her father's side, the 200 yuan could be eaten for at least half a month, and if she successfully found a job, she could basically get through the difficulties. agreed, "But if you want to include water and electricity bills, just for a month, it won't take much." ”

"Okay!" Aunt Zhang readily agreed, "Have you brought your ID card, let's go through the formalities." You have just arrived here, settle down first, familiarize yourself with the environment here, and wait until this month passes, Auntie, I will introduce you to a cheap house, Auntie has many houses here, you can choose. ”

"Thank you, Auntie. Wen Lan said.

Soon signed the contract, Wenlan got the key, and Aunt Zhang said to take her over. Wen Lan seemed to think of something, and asked, "Auntie, do you still introduce jobs here?"

"Of course, what do you want to do?"

Wen Lan was pleasantly surprised, thinking that maybe she would be able to find a job soon. She said, "What work can be done during the Chinese New Year?"

"Are you going to serve the dishes at the restaurant?"

"Go. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll get in touch. Aunt Zhang then picked up the phone, "Hello Mr. Wang, do you still need the waiter over there? Now? Aunt Zhang said to Wenlan, "There is a restaurant that employs people, and you are in a hurry, can you go to work at night?"

Asked Lan was overjoyed, I didn't expect to find a job just here, Uncle Agen was right, the economy here is developed, it is very convenient to find a job, but not at night, I have to settle down first, she said to Aunt Zhang: "Will it be okay tomorrow?" I just arrived here, I came with my father, I settled down at night, can I go over tomorrow?"

Aunt Zhang said: "During the Chinese New Year, people from other places have gone home, and the hotel is in a hurry to ask for people, the sooner the better." Aunt Zhang said into the phone, "Mr. Wang, tomorrow, I'll come with her tomorrow morning, okay, that's it." ”

Aunt Zhang excitedly said to Wenlan: "Little girl, no, Zhao Wenlan, the situation over there is like this, the hotel is called Wang Lin Hotel, the salary is calculated by the day, 100 yuan per day, go to work at 9 o'clock in the morning, get off work at 10 o'clock in the evening, if the guest has not left after 10 o'clock, you have to continue, and the guest can leave after getting off work, but it is considered overtime pay, and the Chinese dinner restaurant is provided free of charge." After the Chinese New Year, you can leave after the original people who have gone to work have arrived, about 1 month, when the salary is paid in a lump sum, the intermediary fee is 5%, and it will be deducted directly when the salary is paid, do you see any other requirements?"

"Not requires. Ask Lan to think that her food problem has been solved, and her father can basically deal with the 200 yuan for a month, and after a month, he will have the money to rent a house and find another job. The salary of 100 yuan a day, and the food, I have never heard of it in Da Lei Mountain, and it is estimated that it is about the same as Uncle Agen, which is a more ideal start.

"Alright, I'll take you to your lodgings. Aunt Zhang said and walked out.

"Wait a minute, I'll call my dad over and come along. ”

"Well, hurry up, it's starting to get dark. ”

Wenlan was overjoyed and returned to the station where she settled her father. But, Dad is gone! What about Dad? I remember that I had just settled my father here, how could it be gone? Dad is not a child, he is timid and timid and has never been far away, so he can't walk around, is she looking at the wrong place? She looked around the whole station and confirmed that this place was the place where Dad was settled. She couldn't help but be very anxious, so she looked for it in the station, and when she saw people, she asked, but they all said that she didn't see it.

"I seem to have seen this old man you mentioned just now, but I didn't pay attention to it. The little girl at the commissary said.

"If you think about it, he's not tall, he's thin, but he looks very strong. There was a glimmer of hope in Wenlan's heart.

"I didn't look closely, it seemed like an old man had walked around here, but I couldn't remember exactly how and where he went. The little girl shook her head and said, "By the way, it seems that you have walked out, you go to the front and ask the traffic police, have you seen it." ”

A cleaner came up to him and said, "I've seen this guy I've just seen, sitting on a chair over there, and talking to a couple of kids." As for where it has gone now, I didn't pay attention. ”

"Well--, what about these kids?"

"Gone with their parents. ”

"Where did you last see my dad?" asked Lan as she became more and more anxious.

"In that position—" the cleaner pointed to Ran, "but I don't know if it's your dad." ”

"Yes, that's the position, I put my dad in this position, that's my dad. ”

"Then you don't have to rush, just work for a while, you won't go far, you may come back after a while. The cleaner reassured.

But where can Lan be calm, Dad has never been far away, and he disappeared as soon as he came out, so why don't you worry about it.
