Chapter 4 Tingmei
Under the sunset, the breeze blows, the willow branches sway from side to side, and there are circles of ripples in the Jianhu Lake, and the reflection of the tall buildings beats in the sparkling waves.
Jin Mingyu leaned on the railing, the water surface as far as his eyes could see, full of green duckweed, two steps away from him, with his back against the railing was Su Ting, from time to time to lift the hair on his forehead that was blown away by the wind, Su Ting raised her head and bathed in the sunset, with a comfortable face.
Standing relatively like now, without saying a word, Jin Mingyu forgot what day it started, but that didn't matter anymore, it was his favorite extra reward after hard work.
Jin Mingyu maintained a posture of leaning half on the railing, and turned his head to look at Su Ting, "Sister Ting, do you have a class tonight?" If not, I will take you to meet a friend, the one I mentioned to you before. He just got a job today and said he was going to invite me to have a meal with you. ”
"Is it the fellow you met when you delivered food?" Su Ting's eyes flashed with surprise, and soon dimmed, "Unfortunately, I still have classes tonight, you know, I can't leave a record of absenteeism." ”
"It's fine. Jin Mingyu smiled and comforted Su Ting, "Everyone is in Wuhan, and what I want to see in the future is a chance." I don't think it's too early, so you might as well go to class first!"
"Then I'll go to class first. Su Ting smiled and waved to Jin Mingyu, and walked towards the teaching building step by step.
Jin Mingyu stood in place and watched Su Ting disappear from view. He didn't leave immediately, looking at the road leading to the teaching building, all the people coming and going, all of them were innocent and childish faces, and he was still quite envious.
Sometimes Jin Mingyu wonders how he would spend every day if he also went to such a university, like many college students he met, he would spend almost every day in the dormitory playing games except for class time. Every meal also relies on takeout, and then sleepily drags flip-flops and hurriedly goes downstairs to get takeout?
The answer is yes. He always firmly believes that different people, different situations, and different worries, those who can still hesitate, indicate that you still have a chance to choose, and I am afraid that you will not even have a chance to choose.
Jin Mingyu walked to the parking place, rode the electric car that had been with him for three years, and rushed to the address that Yin Yi sent him. The sunset is blocked by the buildings, and the street lights begin to turn on in the multi-storey neighborhood.
The address Yin Yi sent to Jin Mingyu was a barbecue restaurant not very far from his school, and Yin Yi ordered two fish to cook after entering the store, waiting for Jin Mingyu to come over.
He and Jin Mingyu met during the summer vacation a few months ago, when Yin Yi was staying at the school to participate in a training session for entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship, and the school was closed except for a canteen far away from his dormitory.
Yin Yi, who didn't want to go to the cafeteria so far to eat every day, began to order takeout on Ele.me. Yin Yi received a call for the first time, and when he saw that the place above belonged to Guizhou, he was a little excited. The mood of meeting fellow countrymen in a foreign country is like buying a bottle of drink when you are thirsty, and opening the cap of the bottle and saying that it is another bottle.
When the two met for the first time, they just exchanged pleasantries, "You are also from Guizhou?" In the next month, Yin Yi lived by ordering takeout or instant noodles every day, and the two gradually became acquainted. When he was free, Jin Mingyu often took Yin Yi outside the school to improve his food.
Yin Yi swiped Weibo, and suddenly saw a message pop up in the job search group, Yin Yi hurriedly clicked in, it was sent by Ling Zixuan, saying that he had just received a notice of Yinhua's interview results, and he was also hired by Yinhua.
The congratulatory messages quickly covered up the messages sent by Ling Zixuan. Four people went together last night, and three of them were hired by the same company today, Yin Yi really didn't dare to guess what kind of mood Chen Chen was in when he saw this news at this moment.
"What's going on?" As soon as he came in, he saw a faint sadness crawling on Yin Yi's face, and Jin Mingyu asked cautiously.
"No!" Seeing that Jin Mingyu was already sitting opposite, Yin Yi turned off his mobile phone and picked up the menu on the table, "I just remembered the work that the four of us went to look for last night, and three of them were hired today, and the remaining one was brushed when I was on the second side, and I suddenly felt a little sentimental." ”
"Society is like this, if it suits, it will stay, and if it is not suitable, it will be brushed off. Jin Mingyu was deeply touched, "You have just started to enter the society now, this situation is better to get used to it earlier, if you encounter similar things in the company in the future, it is estimated that you will not even have time for such innocuous things as sentimentality." ”
When it comes to age, Jin Mingyu is one year younger than Yin Yi, but every time Jin Mingyu speaks, he looks like Yin Yi's brother. Yin Yi never cared, he knew that after Jin Mingyu graduated from high school, he began to come to Wuhan to make a living. Compared with social experience, Jin Mingyu is indeed called his elder brother.
Yin Yi still listened to what the people said to him, "Do you want to have some wine tonight?"
"Just have two bottles of beer, it's not like home, if you're at home or on the weekend, I'll be with you so you don't get drunk." ”
Yin Yi knew that if he was eating in his hometown and two people drank a case of beer, it would be like drinking and playing. Considering that Jin Mingyu will have to ride back next and go to work tomorrow morning, Yin Yi is not reluctant. After ordering two bottles of beer, Yin Yi then ordered lamb skewers, chicken legs, ham sausages and so on.
The beer was delivered first, Jin Mingyu took the skillfully open the bottle cap, and handed one of the bottles to Yin Yi, "I wish you to find a job today and have a prosperous career in the future." ”
"Thank you!" Yin Yi took the beer, touched it with Jin Mingyu, raised his head and took a sip very gentlemanly, "It's really not easy to stay in Wuhan, and finding a job is just the beginning of worrying about getting up early every day to catch the bus and crowd the subway, and worrying about the monthly rent or something." ”
"There will always be a difficult time in life, grit your teeth and persevere, it will always pass. Jin Mingyu raised his head, grunted twice, and drank half of the beer in the beer bottle, "I remember that when I first came to Wuhan, I was unfamiliar with the place, I had no relatives around, and I also went outside every day to look for a job, and I thought that as long as I had money to earn, I would do all the dirty work." ”
"I started working part-time in a Zhongtong Express, and the content of a day's work was that someone came to pick up the express delivery, and then I also worked as a sorter in JD.com for a few months, until I saw that the delivery staff could earn more as long as they delivered more. You have been in Wuhan for a few years, and you should be familiar with the weather in Wuhan, the summer is hot, the winter is cold, it is really hot and cold, it makes people doubt life, there are only two seasons in a year, winter and summer. ”
"In addition, there are various accidents in the delivery of food, the address is not accurate, and the exact number of buildings cannot be found, because some residential buildings are not clearly marked. After delivering to the address, the person who picks up the meal cannot be contacted, and there is also the slow delivery of the meal during the peak period of the merchant, resulting in overtime deduction and so on. There will be a lot of troubles, and then there will be accidents such as lost meals and damaged meals, so every time I pass by the high-end office building, I am very envious that they can sit in the office every day blowing the air conditioner and drinking coffee, without having to be outside in the wind and sun, running around and tiring. Congratulations, you're going to be in and out of high-end office buildings in the future. ”
Yin Yi barely squeezed out a wry smile, "I saw Luo Zhenyu say such a paragraph on a program two days ago, he said that in fact, in the first and second-tier cities, the real bottom of society is not what it was decades ago. Those who really live at the bottom of the society are often those white-collar workers who clock in to work every day in 5A office buildings and eat boxed lunches at noon. ”
Jin Mingyu didn't refute, but just said four words lightly, "It's not easy." In the past, in order to be able to deliver a few more orders a day, he didn't rest at night, and most of them were sent to high-end office buildings. Seeing that they were still rushing to the project at night with their bright clothes, my heart was much more comfortable.
"Do you want to go to work in a factory in a coastal city?" Yin Yi took the plate brought by the waiter, "There are several people in our village who are the same age as me who have gone there, and they seem to be living quite nourishing when they go back every year for the Chinese New Year." ”
Jin Mingyu shook his head without hesitation, "Sister Tingmei is in college in Wuhan, I want to stay by her side, if anything happens to her, I can quickly rush to her side." ”
The name Su Ting, Yin Yi heard Jin Mingyu mention it once before, saying that he has a younger sister who also studies in college around here, and goes to Wuhan University of Technology.
"By the way, speaking of Sister Ting, why didn't he come with you?"
"She was supposed to come over, but just in time for her class tonight. ”
"Is Su Ting your cousin?" Yin Yi pushed the boat down the river and asked the doubts in his heart.
Jin Mingyu's chopsticks paused on the fish's stomach for a moment, and shook his head, "No." ”
"Is she your girlfriend?" Yin Yi continued to ask.
Jin Mingyu avoided Yin Yi's gaze, pondered for a moment, and still shook his head, "It's not." ”
Yin Yi suddenly sketched a smile from the corner of his mouth, "I understand." ”
"What do you understand?" Jin Mingyu looked at Yin Yi with a puzzled expression, "I didn't say anything, you understand something, don't you think I like her!"
Yin Yi smiled but did not speak.
