Chapter 9: Dreaming of Mother
Xiao Sun said: "I also live in this direction, let's walk a little together." ”
"Okay. ”
"Wenlan, you were wronged at night, and you just had such a thing on your first day of work. ”
"It's kind of a training for me. For me, it's very good to have a foothold now, and as for being wronged, it's not a matter of thinking about it, who calls us the lowest people. Wen Lan sighed.
"If only you could think of it that way. Xiao Sun said.
"It's just that I didn't listen to you, and I didn't hold back. I can't help you when I think about it now, and I really couldn't help it at the time. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's the same for everyone, it's easier said than done, maybe you're doing the right thing, why bother with everything we do. This old Chen is very fierce, he scolds people when he is drunk, and often beats people, and many people in our hotel have been beaten by him. Xiao Sun said angrily.
Asked Lan to get angry again: "Why is he so arrogant?"
"I have a few stinky money. Xiao Sun said, "A few people were scared by him and resigned and left." I've also been beaten. ”
"Such a garbage man is really not a thing. Wen Lan scolded.
"But Mr. Wang is not bad, he will come forward after being beaten, and give compensation of 100 yuan. But this money is also Lao Chen's anyway, just calculate a little more when you check out, this garbage man is full of style, and he doesn't reconcile at all. ”
"It's not about money, it's about being insulted. ”
"Alas, who will talk to you about personality for people like us at the bottom. Xiao Sun's mood was also a little low.
"......" asked Lan to stop talking.
"What are your plans for the future?" asked Xiao Sun.
"I just came to Nanxin City, and I am not familiar with the place, so I will find a place to settle down first. I can only work in Wang Lin for 1 month, and after the New Year, I have to go to the agency to find a job and a place to live. ”
"It's better not to go to an agency when looking for a job, the agency fee is very expensive. Go to the government-run labor market, where there is no charge. It can be seen that Xiao Sun is more familiar with the situation in Nanxin City.
"That's a good dare, you tell me where it is, and I'll look for it when the time comes. Wen Lan felt that Xiao Sun was very enthusiastic, and she was glad that she could always meet good people when she went out.
"I'll go to work on the ninth day of the first lunar month, so I'll go with you then. Xiao Sun said, "I'm not going to do it here, the food city will be demolished in half a year at most, and I want to prepare as soon as possible." ”
"You are the backbone of Wang Lin, is Wang always willing to let you go?" asked Lan said.
"Step by step, I have to think about myself first, otherwise where will I find a job at that time. ”
"That's right. Xiao Sun, it's good to meet you, thank you!"
"What's so polite, it's all the life of a part-time worker. I'm also from outside, but I came a few years before you and know a little more about the situation here. Oh, I'm going to go across this traffic light. ”
"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow!"
"Don't worry about the night, ask Lan. We'll see you tomorrow!"
"Hmm. With that, the two of them each went to their own quarters.
Ask Lan to look at the street scene, it's 10 o'clock in the evening, and the lights are brilliant, there are still people walking on the street on such a cold day, and the big city is different. Wen Lan couldn't help but think of her father, who lived alone in the consignment station, and had to patrol the station from time to time, I don't know if it was cold or not, and if I was afraid? It would be nice to have a mobile phone, just make a phone call and ask, it seems that living in a big city without a mobile phone is not possible, this is not imagined at home, after the New Year, you must buy two mobile phones after the salary, even if it is the lowest grade, this is also for the convenience of contacting Dad, and it is impossible to be with Dad every day in the future. Ask Lan to think about it so late or forget it, Dad should also go to sleep, just go over early tomorrow morning to take a look, it stands to reason that the society is so stable now, there will be nothing wrong, and the consignment station is fenced, and it is not easy for thieves to get in.
Back to the accommodation, ask Lan to wash a brief, take out a notebook, sit on the bed to calm down, and summarize the work of herself and the hotel for a day, today is the first day of work, she feels a lot, there are a lot of things to write, especially the innocent beating, she thinks a lot, is she at fault? Is the hotel at fault? The guest is not at fault? Xiao Sun said that there are several people in the hotel who have been beaten by this person, what is the reason, is there a solution? She tried to analyze it, and she felt that it should be mainly the customer's fault, otherwise how could she hit this and that, and a few dollars would be great? They all say that the customer is God, how can God beat people? It seems that the customer is not necessarily God. There is something wrong with the hotel, you can't accommodate such guests again and again, although the boss secretly protects his employees, why not protect it publicly? What does it matter if such guests don't want to? Maybe the hotel pays attention to the priority of efficiency, such a garbage man is like a nouveau riche, afraid that others will not know that he has money, everywhere he shows his wealth and spends generously, Xiao Sun didn't say that the hotel sometimes has to kill him more when he checks out? The hotel likes such guests. Asked Lan analyzed the guests and analyzed herself, she thought that she must be wrong, she just arrived, she didn't understand the rules of the hotel, she didn't know if she felt offended the guests, and she shouldn't say such a heavy word, in case the guests really got up and would die, and you can't do things by temperament in the future, you should endure it, or Xiaosun has experience, and you can endure it. By the way, why did Mr. Dong say that I used this trick correctly, but instead suppressed the elder Chen, is there nothing wrong with this blurted out heavy words? Is it true that there is no need to endure between people when they can no longer bear it? Is it also a law of interpersonal communication to fight with evil, just like a great man said, "stop war with war"? This forbearance and intolerance are also applicable to business management?
"That's right, Lan'er, don't bear it when you can't bear it. ”
"Mom?!" Wen Lan suddenly found her mother sitting on the side, "Mom, when did you come?"
"Silly daughter, mom has always been by your side. ”
"Mom, my daughter has found a job, and my father has a temporary place to stay, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing this New Year. Wenlan said excitedly to her mother.
"Alas, during the Chinese New Year, your father and daughter left their hometowns and wandered away, and your mother felt uncomfortable. ”
Wen Lan was slightly startled, and then said: "Mom, it's good to spend the New Year in a big city, I must have fish to eat during the New Year, and I will let my father drink a sip of wine." ”
"I know that you love to eat fish, people who love fish are smart, your mother has trained you to eat more fish since you were a child, and your mother has succeeded. ”
Wen Lan seemed to see her mother's smug smile.
"But you haven't eaten in years, alas. ”
"Mom, you don't have to sigh, my father bought it for me last night, and I ate fish for my first meal in the big city, and I ate two, two big fish. Maybe it's because I haven't enjoyed the taste of fish so much in years, she made two of them.
"Every time I see you happy eating fish, my mother is happier than you. ”
"Mom, I will have fish for my meals in the future. Wen Lan was a little proud, at least the fish will not break during the work in the hotel this month, the hotel will put the leftover fish in the refrigerator for the guests, and the next meal will be processed and sent to the staff to eat.
"It's just that you've suffered your father and daughter, and you're innocently beaten today and your mother is worried......"
Ask Lan to interrupt her mother's words: "Mom, don't you worry, don't you often say that everything has two sides, although being beaten is not a good thing, it is not necessarily a bad thing, there must be something wrong with my daughter, this slap makes me remember it for a long time." Today, on my first day at work, I encountered such a thing, which may be a training for me, and I will not look down on my life and will not regard it as a setback. There is still a long way to go, and there will be more tribulations to encounter, and I will become more and more courageous, and I must do something about it. You often say that you must know how to be grateful, the people in the village are so kind to us, I will never forget, I have to work hard, only in this way can I have the ability to repay them in the future. ”
"It's like a mom, never admit defeat. ”
Wen Lan excitedly took her mother's hand, and found that her mother's hand was very cold, she knew that her mother was a person who was afraid of cold, and said with concern: "Mom, why are your hands so cold, cold?
Wenlan woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a big dream, I don't know how many times I have been with her in my dream since my mother left, yes, my mother is right, she is a person who never admits defeat, if she is not so strong, her illness will not last for so many years.
It was not yet 12 o'clock when I asked Lan to see his watch. This watch was given to her by her mother on her 10th birthday, and she remembers very well that her mother came back from buying medicine in the county seat that day, and she was burying her head in summer homework. Mom said, "Baby, do you remember when you were a kid and used to draw watches on your wrists?"
Wenlan didn't know what her mother wanted to say, and she didn't have the heart to guess, so she just nodded.
Mom said, "I know that my baby sees that it is fun to wear a watch on someone's wrist, and he can't wear a watch when he is too young, so he draws one to play." ”
"Mom was right. ”
"Baby, go wash your hands. Mom said.
Ask Lan thought that her mother had bought something delicious for her, and every time her mother came back from outside, she couldn't forget to bring her food, and she had to ask her to wash her hands before eating. Wenlan listened to her mother and went to wash her hands.
Mom said, "Baby, close your eyes and stretch out your left hand." ”
Wenlan stretched out her left hand, and her mother put a watch on her wrist and told her to open her eyes. As soon as she saw the watch on her wrist, Wenlan jumped up suddenly, hugged her mother's legs, and laughed non-stop, and her mother picked up Wenlan and said, "Do you like it, baby?"
"I like it, I wear a watch from today, and I have a watch like Yingzi. Ask Lan with a smile on her face.
"Baby, when you grow up to 20 years old, your mother will give you a bigger gift. Mom was happy to see Wenlan, and her face was full of happiness.
I didn't expect to be 20 years old, but my mother didn't. Wen Lan wiped away her tears, sighed, and continued to comb for the day, forcing herself to complete her homework as required before she could rest. Just as she was finishing her last job, the vegetable washer, she suddenly remembered that there was something she had to ask Aunt Wang at the right time.
