That summer, 18

After resigning the retention of the man surnamed Lu, Li Jing drank a glass of water and left. In this stuffy night when it doesn't take long to drink saliva and lose water, Li Jingjing knows that the only way to escape is to hurry home and take a shower and lie comfortably under the arms of the fan.

"Dad, you're back!"

Xiao Nan, who was holding a plastic, brand-new robot bear to play, saw the door open, and happily brought the bear to Li Jingjing, and raised his hand, "Dad, look, this is a toy that my aunt gave me to play with." ”

Li Jing smiled, looked at the woman surnamed Zhang who had been sitting on the bed and playing with Xiao Nan for a while, and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhang." ”

"How's it going?" asked the woman surnamed Zhang expectantly.

Li Jing laughed dryly, seeing this, the woman surnamed Zhang naturally understood the general result, her smile was slightly retracted, she sighed lightly, and seemed to be very sorry, and she said, "I helped you contact me just now, and the boss said that if you want, I can get you the goods tomorrow." Try it for a day first. ”

"Good. Let's start tomorrow. Thank you so much, Sister Zhang. Li said quietly and gratefully.

The woman surnamed Zhang smiled kindly, and stroked Xiao Nan's ponytail lovingly, "Then I'll go." ”

"Wait a minute, Sister Zhang. Li Jinglian picked up the toy in Xiao Nan's hand and handed it over, he knew in his heart that most of the toys were newly bought by her to coax Xiao Nan to play, this toy looked like it, more than ten or twenty yuan was indispensable.

"Let this play with Xiao Nan. The woman surnamed Zhang didn't answer.

"Wait for her to come over and play with her, this really can't be like this. "Li Jing is very resolute. In this way, the woman surnamed Zhang really couldn't say anything, took the toy, and then said to Xiao Nan, who was full of reluctance and seemed depressed, "Come to Auntie tomorrow to play with you." "And left.

In this dim incandescent yellow light of the hut, there are only two people left, Xiao Nan and Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing knows that Xiao Nan is sensible, but after all, he is only a five-year-old child. Seeing that her frustration and grievances had not diminished a little, he was a little uncomfortable, so he carried her to the bed and said earnestly, "Dad doesn't give you a lot of fun, but the toy is not ours, it is Aunt Zhang's." We can't take other people's things for nothing... Whether it's Aunt Zhang, Uncle Lu, or those sisters and grandfathers who are good to you, you can't take anything you want, you know? If you like it, as long as you are obedient, Dad will buy you a new one in a few days, a more beautiful one, okay?"

Xiao Nan is ignorant and simple. Probably still ignorant of these words, but Li Jingjing has tried hard to make his expression simpler. He didn't want her to learn anything bad in pampering...

"Okay," she whispered back.

...

As always, I took a cool shower and washed my clothes.... The soap was rubbed on the factory uniform a few times, and Li Jingjing suddenly remembered the wet factory uniform that Maggie Cheung threw at him from time to time... Well, she must have seen that her job was not easy, and that must have given her a bad impression. yes, what woman doesn't like to marry a man with a decent job?

For the other half, Li Jing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Most of them say that they don't ask for it, but in fact, they don't think about it more? Like his current conditions, the only one who can accompany him to live is the 'bad chaff wife' that the ancients said....

Hawkers, in the actual fantasy, you can still dream of having a beautiful wife.

When the housework was finished, Xiao Nan fell asleep after taking a bath, Li Jingjing supported his shriveled belly, and Li Ma slipped to a steamed bun restaurant that he remembered when he went to work today. With a red face, he talked to the boss about the sky-high price for a long time, and finally spent 10 yuan to get a big bag of steamed buns, which can at least last a few days - on the way back with the steamed buns, Li Jing felt that it was a good deal no matter how he thought about it, and he was full of smiles.

After a few steamed buns were full, Li Jingjing dipped in some water and carefully shaved the stubble. The blind date is out of play, but this blade can't be bought for nothing, right?

Li Jingjing, who is really tormented by life, has lost interest in dressing and appearance, everyone has a cute and beautiful heart, and he doesn't think it's a bad thing to make himself look better.

"I'll have to get a haircut when I get a chance. Li Jing looked at the long hair in the mirror, which looked messy and long, and did not match the delicate face, and muttered.

...

On the new day, my body finally broke down the soreness caused by the previous three days of work, and I adapted to the difficult work, and the work began to be less stressful. He can also pack as neatly as Li Zhenguo, quickly organize the boxes, and then find time to rest under the fan.

Even if the fatigue of work still does not change, but thinking about the salary of more than 23 yuan a day in his mind, his depressed mood can always disappear.

Instead, he sorted out the stubble and attracted the attention of Li Zhenguo's colleagues.

"It's so good-looking, do you want to go on a blind date?" he asked with a smile.

"After the blind date, I failed, and people don't look down on me. Li Jing replied with a smile, disapproving.

"That's blind, what a handsome young man!" Feng Qiong made everyone smile with an old-fashioned look on the side, and he gradually began to integrate into the new life circle.

On this day, the machine went smoothly and the efficiency was quite high, and Li Jingjing got off work early. At this time, the sky was full of dusk, and the time when he got rid of the noisy sound of machines and didn't have to hurry home made him feel good, and his pace was brisk, this was the first time he went to the hotel after going to work to pick up Xiao Nan when it was not dark.

Just when he was about to take Xiao Nan home, the woman surnamed Zhang called out to him, "Wait a minute, Xiao Lin, let Xiao Nan play a little longer, you come over for a while." Then he led him to the second floor, where he lifted a small blue plastic bucket and placed it in front of him.

"This is..."

Li quietly opened the lid of the plastic keg in confusion.

In the small bucket, there are dense small white plastic beads that look beautiful and beautiful. In addition, on the piled bucket of beads, there is a large bundle of slender red and white strings packed in a transparent plastic bag.

The woman surnamed Zhang smiled: "This is your part-time job." I asked for it when I was idle today, and they said to try this type of necklace for you first. It's not difficult, just take the rope and wear the beads..."She said, as if she remembered what others told her, and explained to Li Jing in detail, "A necklace, wearing 18 beads, can't be more, not less." A string of two cents counts. The weight of this...."

She struggled to recall, "By the way, it's 500 strings, and they told you to try it first, and if it works, go on." When the time comes, put these on and give me the necklace, and I'll give it to you to give them money for you, and I'll get you a new bucket. ”

"Good. Li Jingjing took the plastic bucket and said seriously, "It's really too troublesome for you, Sister Zhang." ”

"We're all neighbors, and we always have to take care of each other... Say thank you every day, it's weird. The woman surnamed Zhang said.

"Hey, hey..."

Li Jing responded on the surface, but actually thanked a few words. You know, this is to help him find a money-making job, polite words are like that, but thank you or thank you, right?

"Wait, don't hurry up, you haven't spoken yet. You have to put the beads carefully, there should be no mistake in the number of beads, if the number is not right, you can tell me, I will tell you. But if you lose it, you have to lose money. The woman surnamed Zhang instructed.

"Well, I know this, I'll be careful to put it away. Li quietly smiled.

Then he carried the bucket downstairs and came to the room on the first floor, in front of Xiao Nan, who was playing with the robot bear with relish, "Go home, Xiao Nan." ”

Xiao Nan neatly restored the robot bear to its original appearance, reluctantly put it back on the bed, trotted in front of Li Jingjing, and took Li Jingjing's hand.

Li Jing smiled with relief, thinking about what he said yesterday, Xiao Nan listened to it.

"Brother Lu, let's go. ”

"Goodbye, Uncle Lu!"

"Okay. Goodbye Xiaonan. Brother Lin is hungry later, remember to come to eat. The man surnamed Lu is still enthusiastic.

On the way home for dozens of meters, Li Jing also thought in his heart - ask Zhang tomorrow to see how much the robot bear will cost. Let's buy a toy for Xiao Nan...
