CHAPTER XVIII
A month later. Everything was as calm as if nothing had happened, and the manager never mentioned the accident, and I was happy to play dumb.
Today was a rare day off for me, I had a full entertainment schedule last night, but the moment I sat down at the table early in the morning, I had a sense of foreboding hanging over my chest. Because my sister and sister had one omelette on their plate and mine two, I couldn't help but worry about all kinds of abnormal signs.
"Why are my eggs two?"
"Because mom loves you the most!"
"It's not good to be biased like that. I said.
"It's okay, we won't be jealous of you. "Yes, yes......" The elder sister and the younger sister hid aside and snickered.
"You're resting today, aren't you?"
β...... Should...... Yes......" I replied reluctantly.
Sure enoughβ"Since you're resting, let's come to the store to help." "I forgot to tell you that my mom runs a convenience store on the border of several large residential areas.
"Yes...... Didn't you recruit two students who worked part-time?"
"I have a final exam recently, and I am taking time off to review my homework. β
"No, the rest I rarely look forward to. β
"Mom is also rare to ask you for help. β
"I've made an appointment with my friends......"
"Just make a phone call and cancel. β
"Mom......" I used the last killer move, and a little starlight shone in my begging eyes.
"Okay then, Mom won't force you. β
"Really?"
"But in the future, you have to wash your dirty clothes, fold the quilt by yourself, make your breakfast, lunch and dinner by yourself, and ......"
"Got it, I'll just go to the store and help. "A day off that would have been wonderful was mercilessly lost.
The phone at the convenience store rang.
"Hello, this is a convenience store, what do you need help with?...... Ah, it's you...... Okay, let's hurry up...... Well, it doesn't matter, my son is here, he is resting today, ......" After hanging up the phone, my mother said to me: "Hu, a few of my mother's friends are going to come here to play mahjong, and today's business doesn't seem to be too busy, you should be able to handle it alone." Remember to call Auntie when they come. β
Ten minutes later, three middle-aged women dressed in fancy clothes walked into the store, and my nostrils were forced to be filled with an unnatural aroma.
"Ah, this is your son? Sure enough, it was a mother and son, and their ears seemed to be pointy...... "I'm not a toy, these mothers-in-law actually used their hands and feet to pinch my face and body."
"Yes, how old are you? Auntie can introduce you to a partner, what kind of girl do you like, tell me about it." β
It's really annoying, it seems that if you don't come to something powerful, you will definitely not be able to suppress this group of obasans, so I said: "Actually, my requirements are very low, the height must be between one meter six and one meter seven, and the moles on the face cannot exceed three, each no more than a quarter of a grain of rice, and there can be no fox odor, Armpit odor and bad breath, don't snore when you sleep, be proficient in all kinds of housework, don't wear eyes, don't often laugh inexplicably, wear skirts in summer and can't show above the knees, don't wear heavy makeup, don't cry when you scold two sentences, don't cry when you scold ten sentences, don't blush when you see others wearing gold jewelry, don't stop when you pass by the clothing counter, your personality should be gentle and considerate, kind and generous, even if you can't sink into the fish and geese in terms of appearance, at least you have to close the moon and be ashamed, it doesn't matter if you have double eyelids or single eyelids, as long as your eyes are big. When I finally finished, I took a deep breath of fresh air.
The Obasang on the side were already dumbfounded when they heard it, and they were stunned for a while: "It's not too early, let's play cards." β
Finally scared away the old women who only screamed in the mirror every morning. "Yike...... Husband, I have gray hair!" "Yikes...... Husband, my wrinkles have deepened!" If men had a crystal ball in which they could see what women look like after 20 years of marriage, they wouldn't be fooled now.
My mother and her friends went into the small room in the back to be "Meng Jiangnu", leaving me alone outside, but fortunately I was not too busy. I vaguely heard the bell ringing on the door of the store
"Welcome!" I said with a stiff smile on my bitter face. The other party was wearing Jay Chou's favorite hat, covering his eyes as much as possible, wearing a casual denim outfit, and walked straight in front of me with his hands crossed in his jacket pockets.
"Hello, what do I need to buy?" I asked.
"Hu Lai ......"
"I'm sorry, but this store has everything to discuss except for me who is not for sale. β
"It's me......" she said, taking off her hat. I shook my head vigorously and rubbed my eyes, I saw the wrong person, how could Shen Anna appear here.
"That's right, it's me, Anna Shen. β
"You...... How do you ......"
"It's weird, the filming of a new movie is going to start in two days, I flew to see you, as for how I found here, you should know that it's not a difficult thing. β
β...... But what are you looking for me......" My mind was still swaying in an unexpected confusion.
"I once had a dream, I don't know why, I just want to tell you that this dream has something to do with you!"
"Oh......," I replied incomprehensibly.
"I don't know, I feel like my memory is a little confused, and I can't tell the difference between reality and dreams. Perhaps, there is no need to distinguish too clearly, who doesn't want a beautiful dream to become a reality, the cruel reality is just a nightmare. I came to you because that dream was a sweet dream, a dream that I longed for the most. To be able to have a person who is sincere to you, regardless of the appearance of the person, no, it is the skin, and all the external factors such as identity, please be like you in your dream, please fall in love with such a transparent me, because the soul is transparent, in order to be able to feel the love of the soul with your fingertips. In a dream, I was truly disfigured, and you said the most beautiful words to the ugliest face in the world, and I have never been able to remember what I said in my dreams so clearly. I'm very worried, a woman takes the initiative to say such things, will it make the listener feel very frivolous, can't control it, just because I want to tell you these words, so I came, no matter how far away, I am willing to be your girlfriend, very willing, in the dream you asked me if I believe in miracles, I want to bring the dream to reality with my own hands, is this a miracle? Can you give me the opportunity to create this miracle? Maybe I'm pretty in the eyes of most people, but I'm not confident a lot of the time, and now I'm very worried, worried about hearing the voice of rejection, although I'm worried, but I'm still determined to wait for your answer, no matter what!"
The first time I was confessed by a woman, I was still a superb beauty, not as beautiful as I imagined, and even a little flattered and desolate, and suddenly felt that if I agreed, I would be like a despicable villain who had succeeded in my conspiracy, and suddenly my conscience found it at the moment I got it, so I had to take her into my arms, an ordinary woman who was sobbing in my arms.
"I'm going back to the set tomorrow morning. She said, so you must enjoy the taste of love today.
"However, I'm going to be here all day, and I can't go anywhere else with you. β
"In the eyes of the lovers who are happy together, hell is also heaven. She smiled and said, "It's the line." β
"Isn't it really boring? in a small place of tens of square meters. β
"No!" she shook her head, "eating, going to the movies, going to the playground is nothing new. I'm going to sell things with you for a day, it's fun!"
"Not afraid of being recognized?"
"Don't be afraid, I have a way. β
There was the sound of a car horn outside. It is a delivery car. "The hostess is here to receive the goods!"
"It's coming!" I greeted him.
"Oh! it's a change today!" the driver's expression was surprised.
"Hello, I'm her son, and my mom has something to do now. β
"It turns out that my sons are so old...... "Uncle Driver's face showed a look of disappointment, "a total of ten cases of beer and twenty cigarettes...... The goods are all at the door, please sign and I'll go. β......
"Come out and help me carry things, what are you doing there?" I shouted at Shen Anna, no, it should be called Anna, it sounds kind, but I'm not a king.
"That's a lot of stuff!"
"Scared?"
"Nope. Anna's eyes rolled, "Test you!"
"What?"
"There's a case of beer here, there's a pack of sanitary napkins there, let you choose first, I'll move the rest, what will you choose?"
"Sanitary napkins!" I blurted out without hesitation, when I was attacked by a pack of sanitary napkins she tossed.
"You go to die!"
"Ouch, it hurts...... I deliberately covered my head to tease her, "I wonder how the sanitary napkin flies? β
"Of course it can fly, don't you know that this is with wings?
I threw myself to the ground, and she was so humorous.
"How can you leave the heavy ones for me to move?! She pretended to be angry and pouted.
"Then I'll just choose to move beer, and I'm satisfied?...... Ouch, why did you smash me again?
"Listen, if you are usually asked this, you should say that I will choose both, so that the girl will be happy. β
"I'm not stupid!"
"You guy, it's not romantic at all!" ......
"My sister looks like a sister on TV. A little girl who buys lollipops said.
"Yes, you look like that star!" said the little girl's mother in surprise.
"Really? A lot of people say that, and I'm so happy. Anna said as she gave the money to the other party.
"You're so powerful, people won't doubt it anymore. I said, "My stomach hurts a little, take a look at the store, I'll go to the toilet opposite!"
"Hmm...... It stinks, go and go!"
"Hey...... hey" picked up a roll of toilet paper and rushed out.
"Hu Lai!" At this time, the old mother walked out, "It's almost time for lunch, you go buy five boxes of bento boxes and a roast goose ......" When the old mother saw Shen Anna, she was stunned.
"Hello Auntie, I'm a friend of Hu Lai, he went to the toilet, I'll just watch it here, and I'll tell him what you said when he comes back." Shen Anna smiled sweetly.
"Oh......" Mom turned around and went back with a blank expression, whispering to herself as she walked, "Hey, stinky boy, I can't see it, and this Yanfu!"
