Chapter 37 Migrant Workers in the City
"Hey, what's the matter with you! Quarrel and quarrel, what are you doing with my phone!" The owner of the supermarket heard my movement and walked out of the counter, and after seeing that it was me, his face softened a little: "Han Fei, did you quarrel with your family?"
"No, it's just that I didn't get the phone properly and accidentally dropped it! How much money, I'll pay you!" I took out a hundred dollars from my pocket and put it on the table.
"I still have a spare one at home, I'll change it in a while, and I'll charge you fifty yuan for the bad one!" I often buy things at his house, so I know this boss, and the relationship is not bad.
He put away my money and handed me fifty change: "This is you, we live in a community, change someone else, at least 200 yuan to lose, if you give one less, I can beat out his pants, I tell you, I went to Wudang Mountain at the age of six, that Shaolin boxing method let me practice perfectly, I don't blow with you, a ten-pound watermelon, I can chop it with a knife!"
"Gone!" I was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, put away the fifty yuan of change, pushed the door and left, the moment I went out, I felt particularly aggrieved, because Xiao Yu gave me the feeling, and others are very different, I always thought that the two of us are good brothers, so for what he said, I have always obeyed, he said that he didn't want to go to school, I resolutely chose to drop out, even if I hated Wan Peng very much, I also accompanied him to fight with Wan Peng's gang, but I never expected that in the end, he was like a ball, kicked me away, and went back to school。
I was sulky, and I was not in the mood to go to the Internet café, so I sat outside for a while, and then went home angrily, and when I entered the door, my grandmother looked at me with a smile: "What do you want to eat at noon?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat!" I puffed up and kicked off my shoes and went back to my room.
Grandma saw me return to the room, and staggered to the door of my room: "Fei, your aunt came here just now, I told her about you not going to school, so let her help me come up with ideas, your aunt also said that you should find a job, just talk about your old uncle, he is now working in Beijing, otherwise, you go to try?"
"I don't want to go!" I lay on the bed and covered my head with the quilt.
"If you don't want to go, you can find a job in Ayang, at such an age, since you don't go to school, you can't always stay at home and make the neighborhood laugh!" Grandma persuaded me again.
'Fluttering!'
I lifted the quilt, sat up all of a sudden, sighed with a slight headache, grandma is right, since I don't go to school anymore, I can't always stay at home like this, family conditions are one thing, the most important thing is that I don't even have a friend who can go out with me now, but if I stay in Ayang to find a job, I will inevitably meet my former classmates or something, I am a person who wants to save face, so I definitely don't want to work in Ayang, so I can only go to Beijing if I think about it, I paused and looked at grandma:" If you go to Beijing, can you buy me a mobile phone, and when I miss home, I can make a phone call or something!"
In fact, asking for a mobile phone to call home is an excuse for me, I want a mobile phone, it has been a dream for a long time.
"Okay!" Grandma looked at me and smiled, nodding kindly: "I see that many of today's children have bought mobile phones, if you want, then buy you one!"
"Then let's go now!" I jumped out of bed and ran straight to my grandmother.
"What's the hurry, I'll go after dinner!" Grandma patted me on the head and turned back to cook.
I grabbed my grandmother's arm and said impatiently: "Oh grandma, let's go now, eating is a trivial matter, just eat when you come back!"
"You little cub, you are a monkey raising a child, don't wait for the hair to dry!" Grandma looked at me angrily and smiled, and nodded in agreement.
I finally had a good mood, began to change clothes, put on shoes, usually to rub for a long time, five minutes to get it all done, and then put my grandmother's arm, the two of them went downstairs together, to the door of the community, I habitually reached out to call a taxi.
"Forget it, let's walk, it's expensive to take a taxi, what are you spending that unjust money for!" Grandma stopped me as I was about to take a taxi, and then the two of us walked together to the place where the mobile phone was sold.
After arriving at the mobile phone store, I was instantly attracted by the dazzling array of mobile phones, picking and picking, I have been dazzled, the clerk of the mobile phone store also came over, introduced me to various mobile phone models: "Little handsome guy, what kind of mobile phone do you want to buy?"
I smiled at the clerk, pointed to a phone with a button, and said, "I'll take a look at this!"
"You have a really good eye, this is the latest, it supports external memory cards, it can play games, it can take pictures, and it also comes with a mobile phone QQ!" The clerk smiled and handed me the phone, I glanced at the English letters on it, it was a domestic machine, imitation Nokia.
At that time, there was no smart phone, a mobile phone with an independent memory card, able to take pictures, and can be on QQ, it was already very awesome, after getting it, I couldn't put down this phone: "How much is this?"
"Seven hundred and five! Now there is an event, buy a mobile phone and get a 512 trillion memory card, and a universal charge!" The clerk began to introduce to me the various functions of this mobile phone, but as soon as I heard it, I didn't really want to buy it, seven hundred and five, it is indeed a little too expensive, I know that grandma usually saves money, and is reluctant to spend money, so I looked at the other mobile phones on the counter and pointed to an inconspicuous one: "How much is this?"
"This, this is cheap, only more than 300, but this only has the phone's own 128 trillion memory, which can listen to songs, but can't download games and surf the Internet!"
"Don't take it, just buy this!" said my grandmother, who had been standing next to me silently, pointing to the phone I had picked out at the beginning, and smiling.
"Forget it, grandma, that's too expensive!" I like the phone, but I also know that the price is a bit high.
"If you like it, buy it, just save some money!" Grandma looked at the clerk with a smile again: "After buying this phone, it's not easy to break, right?"
"Don't worry, auntie, the phones sold in our store have warranty cards, and if they are broken within a year, they will be repaired for free!" The clerk saw that the business was done, and diligently took out a new mobile phone that had not been opened and handed it to me: "Handsome guy, check it!"
"Okay!" I couldn't wait to open the new box, and I was so excited to finally hold my own phone in my hand.
The grandmother on the side smiled when she saw me happy, then took out a handkerchief in her pocket and carefully took out the prepared money in front of her.
After buying a mobile phone, I got a mobile phone card, and then I played with my mobile phone at home in the afternoon, and after hanging up the mobile phone QQ, I would go online and be invisible for a while, in fact, I just wanted to show off and tell others that I could also use the mobile phone QQ, but one afternoon, no one said a word to me.
During dinner, I remembered to ask about going to Beijing: "Grandma, my aunt didn't say anything, when will I go to Beijing?"
"Your aunt said that if you want to go, tell your old uncle and let him come back to pick you up! After dinner, you can call your aunt!"
After eating, I lay on the bed and dialed my aunt's mobile phone, and the phone was quickly connected, first with a noisy mahjong sound, and then my aunt's voice came out: "Hey, who?"
"Auntie, I'm Han Fei!"
"Oh, Xiaofei, whose number is this...... Six cylinders!" my aunt asked me while playing mahjong.
"My, my grandma bought me a mobile phone at noon!"
"Yo! Your grandmother is really used to you, and she can't afford to buy her own high blood pressure medicine, hehe, how old are you, I'll buy you a mobile phone!"
"I know, by the way, my aunt, my grandmother said, you let me go to Beijing with my uncle?" I changed the subject.
"Well, your old uncle is coming back tomorrow to see your sister, he will be home at noon and leave in the evening, if you want to go, you will follow tomorrow night!"
"In such a hurry?" I didn't expect it to be so sudden, and I thought about staying home for a few days.
"Your old uncle is working for others in Beijing, and he is not his own boss, when he can go home, he has to listen to the factory, he can't be the master himself, think about it, if you can go, you can call me again tomorrow!
"Don't think about it, I'll go!" I didn't think about it, I directly agreed to my aunt, I have already thought about it, I can't work in Ayang, because it will be embarrassing to be seen by classmates, although I still work in Beijing, but at least I won't be seen by acquaintances, this ostrich mentality, and I grew up in a lot of environment, although I don't want to believe that I was deceived by Xiaoyu, but I still want to avoid the city of Ayang.
Escapism is my usual way of dealing with things.
"Okay, then tomorrow afternoon, you can go directly to my house! Hey, don't move, I'm winning! After the old lady finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
After this phone call, I fell into a deep sleep with longing and apprehension about the unknown.
When I woke up the next day, it was already more than ten o'clock, I got up and washed, changed into a set of sportswear that Qi Wen bought for me, and then simply packed up a few changes of clothes, pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom, only to find that my grandmother had been sitting in the living room for a long time.
"Grandma!" I smiled and sat down next to my grandmother, a little reluctant, I have grown so big, I haven't left my grandmother's side and gone out alone, this time to go, my heart is really not good.
"Xiaofei, I won't accompany you to my aunt's house, you can go by yourself, when you get to Beijing, you must listen to your uncle's words, learn some crafts, and pay attention to your body, you must wear more clothes when it is cold, and you must ...... when you are sick" Grandma took the trouble to tell me almost all the things to pay attention to, said it over and over again, and finally took out two hundred yuan in her pocket and handed it to me: "You take this money, the poor family is rich, and if you are not used to eating the food in the factory, buy some food yourself!"
"Grandma, I don't want this money, I have it myself! You take it, buy something delicious yourself!" I smiled, I didn't take the money, when I was not at home, grandma didn't even want to cook, just eat some small pickles and the like to deal with a bite, and I have bought a mobile phone, and there is no place to spend money, I still have more than three hundred dollars to share in Wanpeng.
After saying goodbye to my grandmother, she sent me all the way to the door of the community, and after getting into the taxi, I looked back at my grandmother's slightly clumsy figure, and my thin luggage, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Xiaoyu, a bastard, said that he wanted to take me to mix with society, but he mixed 16875, and he mixed me into a migrant worker in the city.
