Chapter 36: The Feelings Aroused by Roasted Sweet Potatoes
"Third brother, I want to ask you something!" Li Ming put down the book, pushed his glasses, and stopped talking. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"If you have something, just say it, politely. β
"I'd like to apply for a part-time job on your flyer, can you introduce me to that?"
"Do you know how to program?" Gu Heng suddenly became interested, although everyone's major is computer software programming, but among the freshmen, they already have a certain level, and he really hasn't found it yet.
Liu Hua shook his head with a sigh, and seized the opportunity to speak: "Lao Gu, I have to criticize you, haven't you seen the stack of books at Mingzi's bedside, they are all programming, and his professional courses are almost finished by himself." By the way, and the last time I took a class in the computer room, Mingzi freed up a small piece of software, and even the teacher praised it for a long time. β
"Okay, Mingzi, I didn't see that we still have your number hidden in our dormitory! Don't worry, this little thing is wrapped up in me, I'll take you over tomorrow to try." Gu Heng grinned, very happy, happy for discovering talents, and happy for his roommates to have the ability.
The topic seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and Yuan Feng keenly noticed the unhappiness that flashed on Wang Zihao's face just now, and interrupted: "Zihao, you haven't said what kind of benefits it is just now, let me increase my knowledge." β
"Yes, I'm tired and half-dead these days, so I'm waiting for a chance to relax. Gu Heng immediately understood that he was dominant, and took the initiative to return the topic to Wang Zihao.
"It's nothing, didn't I consider that our dormitories are all single? I took it upon myself to let Lin Qian help Zhang Luo and have a friendship with them in the 628 dormitory, if any of you want to go, tell me, if there are too few people, cancel it." Wang Zihao said lightly, but he didn't have the smugness he had when he first entered the bedroom.
Yuan Feng didn't notice the subtle changes in Wang Zihao, and applauded.
"If there are any beautiful women, if the quality is too poor, I won't go. β
Liu Hua's attitude is very clear, if he doesn't see a rabbit, he doesn't scatter eagles, if it is a group of ugly girls, he would rather stay in the bedroom and watch a few episodes of TV series.
Wan Taoming was quite moved, but his good friends had already expressed his position first, and he was afraid that the boat of friendship would overturn, so he had to stand very firmly and agree with his good friends.
"There are two good ones, one is petite Lingling, and the other is very good, you know!"
Wang Zihao handed over a look that all men understand, and successfully aroused Liu Hua's interest.
"So, let's go and help make a scene?" Liu Hua consciously immediately changed his words and lost face, and looked at Wan Taoming.
"Well, we have to go and see, the mouse is kind enough to help us get off the list, and let the woman Zhang Luo, if we want to excuse ourselves, doesn't it make it difficult for the mouse. Wan Taoming's face was full of smiles, but what he said was very reserved, with the attitude that I only went to save face.
In the end, everyone looked at Gu Heng and Li Ming, who had not yet expressed their position.
Gu Heng has been busy recently, and Lin Qian's scheming will also go when the time comes, so he doesn't want to make up for the heat in his heart, but it's not good to save Wang Zihao's face in person, so he agreed.
Only Li Ming blushed for a long time before everyone nodded foolishly.
The atmosphere in the bedroom seems to be still harmonious, but an invisible barrier has already quietly formed.
It is not caused by external forces, but by personal nature and growth environment.
For example, Wang Zihao, a child born in a wealthy family, even if he usually behaves as friendly and approachable, he is extremely proud in his bones, and he has always been the center of focus since he was a child, and he wants to show himself unique on any occasion, so as to highlight his uniqueness.
There was nothing wrong with this, but the fault was that he couldn't control it well at his age.
Just like he lies in bed every day and asks Yuan Feng to go to breakfast, it is nothing for roommates to help each other a little, but in order to show generosity, he gives Yuan Feng three meals a day to wrap up, and the taste is not right.
To make a comparison, it is also to ask someone to help, Gu Heng has asked Liu Hua to help him answer in class these days, and in order to express his gratitude afterwards, he also invited Liu Hua to dinner, but only once or twice.
What's more, he brought some snacks and fruits back from outside, and invited the whole sleeper to eat together, so that Liu Hua would not feel that he was the one who was taken care of.
In addition, he also accepted all of Liu Hua's requests in return, but during the exchange of courtesies, he controlled the number of times he invited him to one or two more.
is also to express gratitude, between Wang Zihao and Yuan Feng, the original roommate relationship has slowly changed. However, the relationship between Gu Heng and Liu Hua is getting closer and closer, which is a little experience that Gu Heng has accumulated in dealing with people and things for decades in his previous life.
Naturally, Gu Heng's maturity in all aspects also made other people in the bedroom willing to get close to him and respect him, and faintly stole Wang Zihao's limelight, which may not be unhappy for him who is used to being the focus, but it is somewhat mindful.
This situation is not just formed today, frozen three feet, not a day's cold, when Wang Zihao always shows his status in the bedroom by swinging and other ways, everyone's communication is no longer on an equal level, and a little alienation is inevitable.
Gu Heng saw everything in his eyes, but he couldn't change anything, as a roommate, for the sake of the harmony in the bedroom, he had already chosen to keep a low profile as much as possible, and not to steal some limelight from Wang Zihao that seemed very naΓ―ve to him, but he could only do this.
In the final analysis, the effort is two-sided, and he can't afford to pay for a roommate who has only known him for less than two months.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The sorority party that was still in preparation did not arouse Gu Heng's great interest, and early the next morning, when he came back from his morning run, he woke up Li Ming, who had no class in the morning, and went out together.
"Third brother, don't be in such a hurry, have you and the boss made an appointment, I'm not ready yet!"
After learning on the road that Gu Heng asked him to apply for a part-time job, Li Ming felt a little bottomless, he was a person who liked to come according to the plan, and the daily rhythm of life was strictly implemented in accordance with the schedule set for him by his bedside.
"It's a big deal, I say you can do it, you will do it. β
Gu Evergrande has a lot of confidence in Li Ming, and the most important thing is that he chatted with the other party last night about a lot of professional knowledge that is convenient for programming, and he has a general assessment of Li Ming's level.
Not far from the dormitory, there is a small commercial street, small supermarkets and restaurants, Gu Heng took Li Ming to finish breakfast, packed a few steamed dumplings, and walked to the graduate student apartment building.
When he was about to arrive, Gu Heng saw an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes at a stall outside the apartment building from a distance, and walked over to greet him with a smile: "Lao Li, come to five roasted sweet potatoes, ask for a long waist and a thin one, don't give me those round ones, the one I ate last time was half-baked, and I didn't dare to go out to meet people after a long day of nuclear weapons (farts)." β
"You kid, you're embarrassed to blame me! Didn't I tell you that I would have to wait a while before it was ripe, you yourself had to say that you could do it, and you still boasted that you came out of the countryside, and baking sweet potatoes is a unique skill that you can do when you are five or six years old. Lao Li's hair was slightly gray, but his spirit was very good, and he smiled and joked very heartily.
Five sweet potatoes, a total of twelve yuan, this price was by no means cheap in 2001, ordinary students were attracted by the fragrance, and they usually bought one or two to satisfy their hunger, but Gu Heng seemed to buy it as a meal, and he was very happy to pay.
After walking a few steps, Li Ming broke open a sweet potato, looked at the golden meat inside, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you don't get tired of eating sweet potatoes every day? β
Gu Heng looked back at the figure sitting quietly by the oven, and sighed and said: "Lao Li is not easy, don't look at him now setting up a stall to sell sweet potatoes, he was a hero who went to the battlefield in Vietnam back then, but unfortunately, he fell ill back then, resulting in inability to have children, and he is still living alone." β
Hearing this, Li Ming's hand moved violently, and he was in awe!
Gu Heng didn't stop there, and continued: "Can you imagine that he is a lonely old man who didn't take out his savings to enjoy the rest of his life, but donated all of them to the children in poor areas to go to school? For this, he even sold his house and rented the place where he lived. β
Gu Heng's words were very calm, but they fell on Li Ming's ears like thunder, and for a while, he was stunned.
In fact, let alone him, even with Gu Heng's adult experience and knowledge, he had almost the same expression when he knew about it at that time.
Although there is no shortage of similar news on the Internet in the past life, only when you hear and see it in person will you really be shocked and shaken.
Gu Heng asked himself, he would never be as open-minded and selfless as Lao Li in his life.
So, in addition to admiration and shame, he fell in love with eating sweet potatoes, and while reminiscing about his childhood memories, it can also be regarded as support and recognition of Lao Li's behavior.
Li Ming didn't speak, he finally knew why Gu Heng brought roasted sweet potatoes to the dormitory every once in a while, and every time he was asked, he still said with a stinky face that it was feelings, they didn't understand.
Along the way, the two relied on their own imagination and chatted about the feelings of the older generation of revolutionary soldiers, and unconsciously arrived at the small studio rented by Gu Heng.
