Chapter 4: Pastoral Songs
The next day, Radar also came to the company to report, and the editor-in-chief was very satisfied with the manuscripts and photos they handed in this time, and specially praised the two of them at the summary meeting, and at the same time formulated a new round of tasks.
Coffee shops are not uncommon in this bustling city, but the shop, which opened only a year ago, quickly stood out from its competitors and made a name for itself, with high ratings on several well-known online platforms, and was loved and respected by customers.
An Ke looked at the information in his hand and found that the store was far away from the company, but it was close to the small house he rented, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Coming out of the conference room, Radar still had a happy look on his face after being praised by the editor-in-chief, and followed Encore to ask An's mother how she was doing.
Encore: "It's not a big deal, I just broke my arm, just put on a plaster cast and rest for a few days." ”
Encore suddenly thought of the fact that Curly Fur said that he and Radar went to eat together, so he paused, leaned against the wall, and looked at Radar with a good time, "Little Leizi, I heard that last time you went to dinner with Curly Hair, you saw that the waiter little girl was beautiful, and she was so nervous that she even stammered when she spoke?"
Lei Baby's fat face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know what to say, so he made a big move, trying to change the topic, "Sister An, after my last observation, I think you and Mu Tong are quite a good match, but it's a pity that others are abroad now, otherwise you two may be able to develop." ”
Anke snorted from the side, squinted at him, and didn't interrupt without saying a word, just quietly waiting for his next step.
"Really! Mu Tong is very good, and his speech is very interesting, I also added him WeChat last time. "Radar is dying and struggling, and the Tai Chi exercise will be carried out to the end.
"Alas," An Ke stroked his hair, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Little prince, when you have time, you still think about it, how to turn your queen mother into a daughter-in-law this year", after speaking, he patted the arm of the radar with the document bag, and stepped on the 5-centimeter high heels and walked away, leaving the radar who had not returned to his senses with a confused look.
A company's pantry is always an arena where all kinds of gossip and complain gathers, where the round can be flattened, the thin can be blown fat, chasing the wind and catching the shadow can only be regarded as a low-level skill, and making a talent out of nothing is barely a big move.
Encore slept in the hospital last night, and today she didn't have much energy, ready to make a cup of coffee to start the day's work, and just happened to walk to the door and heard someone whispering inside, she was used to the boredom of these people, and she never cared much about it, and she was basically blind when she saw it, but this time she inadvertently heard her name.
"Didn't you just go to Italy? I had to be like that at the morning meeting, I didn't know that I was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, it was really funny!"
"Did you say she relied on that to get to the top of the city? Otherwise, why did the boss send her?"
"Who knows? I think I'm a fairy these days, but my face is a little smaller, and my eyes are a little bigger?
"Hey, be quiet, we've been here for a while, and I don't know if anyone is coming outside. ”
Hearing that someone inside was about to go out, Encore quickly turned around and returned to her seat without moving, she heard that a few of those people were not dealing with her on weekdays, she could convince herself not to take it to heart, but there were a few who always greeted her with a smile on weekdays, and she even classified them from simple colleagues to friends.
Seeing her come back with an empty cup, her face was still ugly, and her whole body exuded the aura of "don't mess with me", and asked suspiciously: "There is no water in the pantry?"
An Ke glanced at him, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and bared a mouthful of small white teeth at the radar, "Little Leizi, today I will teach you a new skill of drinking coffee." ”
Hearing this, Radar turned around excitedly, ready to watch a performance, and saw Encore quickly dismantle a bag of instant coffee, without saying a word, he raised his head and poured it directly into his mouth, and drank another sip of milk, the whole movement was natural and smooth, and finally Encore wiped his mouth domineeringly, and raised his neck at Radar, "Milk coffee!
Radar: "......" Sure enough, you can't drink too much coffee, it will hurt your brain.
Encore's small drawer is always stuffed with all kinds of snacks on weekdays, so that she can dissipate gas when she is in a bad mood, which is a stinky problem she has developed since she was a child, but after eating the fifth chocolate ball at this time, her teeth began to hurt, lying on the table and humming, and she clicked on WeChat and sent a message to Curly Hair.
[Ankle: Barrel, I was scolded by my colleague behind my back, and now I'm angry, what should I do?]
[Barrel: Am I too vegetable?Why has no one ever been jealous of me?(Thinking face)]
His words were clearly praising Anke's power around the bend, and Anke couldn't help but snort,
[Ankle: You have to put a layer of honey on your mouth every day when you go out, right?]
[Barrel: Of course not, it's honey in my heart (hee hee face)]
An Ke was funny in his heart, this Mu Tong was really interesting to speak, although he was flamboyant every time, and he was not serious, but An Ke was not disgusted at all, but felt interesting, and even vaguely felt like a chess opponent.
In her stunned moment, the mobile phone received a voice message, this is the first time Mu Tong sent her a voice, An Ke has a very strange feeling in her heart, she can't say it, it stands to reason that she usually doesn't like others to send her voice, because it is inconvenient to listen to it during work hours, but for Mu Tong's dozens of seconds of voice message, she faintly looked forward to it, so she took out the headphones from the drawer and plugged them in, opened them a little, but it was a rapper sung by Mu Tong.
"Run's troubles are gone
Run the pressure behind me
Run doesn't want anything about me
RunRun I continued
Run, rain or shine
Run, regardless of the gossip
Run has to face problems
RunRun I can't
Can’tstoprunning.running
Won’tstoprunning.running
Nonstoprunning.running
I’mjustrunning.running
……
I don't care what other people think
I only care if it works ahead,
What the hell am I doing in the wind?
Seeing the problem catch up with me
They surround me and annoy me
I burned my lifeline
I'll run faster, they'll be gone
……”
Mu Tong's voice was clear and clear, full of rushing vitality, and the sound of rain in the air became a natural accompaniment, breaking through the distance, like a light deer, breaking into Enke's heart without warning, lingering in his ears, lingering.
Through the sound and melody, it seems that Mu Tong can see Mu Tong's smile with warmth, sunshine, warmth, like a breeze with mint fragrance, dispelling the haze in her heart little by little, and sprinkling every inch of light.
The overall decoration of the "Grinding Time" coffee shop to be interviewed this time is in the Dutch style, following the idyllic series, there is a sculpture of a light white bicycle at the door, the body is painted with windmills and tulips, there are colorful garlands dotted on it, and a cluster of pink tulips is placed in the basket, exuding an elegant fragrance in the wind.
The owner's name is Nika, a tall and beautiful Dutch girl with clean and fair skin, long curly blonde hair, and fluent Chinese.
Nika was very enthusiastic to lead Encore and Radar to visit her coffee shop, Encore liked the decoration style of this store from the bottom of her heart, warm and refreshing, creating a unique Dutch pastoral atmosphere, the store can be seen everywhere Dutch decoration, wooden shoes, porcelain, windmill models, tulip wood carvings...... While looking at it, Encore couldn't help but admire, Nika introduced on the side that these decorations are shipped directly from the Netherlands, which can best represent the local atmosphere of the Netherlands, and guests can buy them on the spot as long as they have a fancy to them.
The aroma of coffee lingers in the warm shop with the fragrance of flowers, mellow and fragrant, the terrace outside is also arranged with exquisite wooden tables, at first glance it is a bit of French Baroque style, there is a huge coffee machine near the door, next to several large bags, which are filled with different kinds of coffee beans, with the label of the name of each coffee bean flavor, an old man is standing aside, mixing coffee beans in proportion, accurately grasping the heat, roasting excellent oil and oil, unique flavor of coffee beans, overflowing mellow fragrance makes every passerby stop and linger。
The average Dutch coffee cup a day is a staggering six. Nika is no exception, coffee has accompanied her growth, her dream since childhood is to open a coffee shop in the future, but she said that the design and business philosophy of this shop are the credit of her friend, and this friend is coming to China to run the coffee shop in her place, because she is going back to the Netherlands to marry her boyfriend of eight years.
When Nika said this, a happy smile naturally appeared on her face, and Encore looked at such a sweet smile, and was sincerely happy for her, and decided to write Nika's happy life into the manuscript, not only to promote the coffee and environment of this shop, but also to define this coffee house as a place to convey happiness and warmth.
In the evening, Anke packed a yam stewed chicken soup in a fast food restaurant near the company and took it to the hospital, An's mother was chatting with an aunt in the next bed, the content was nothing more than some trivial life and children's marriage problems, Anke was also used to seeing this kind of scene, very skillfully pretending to be deaf, and turning a deaf ear to the outside world's conversations.
The aunt in the next bed said to An's mother with a smile: "Big sister, your girl is really beautiful! ”
Aunt said this very nicely, praised Anke and An's mother, An's mother waved her hand modestly on the surface, but she was already smiling from ear to ear, Anke has long been accustomed to this kind of conversation with the elderly, smiled politely at the aunt, and served a bowl of chicken soup to both of them.
The aunt first excused herself in a regular way, and then happily took the chicken soup, and enthusiastically took Encore's hand and said to An's mother: "Big sister, I see, the girl and Dr. Wang are very compatible!"
Although Encore didn't know who the aunt said about Dr. Wang, he knew everything about the enthusiasm of the elderly for the matchmaker, and knew that once the conversation started, there would be endless, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and he was about to turn around and ask his mother for help, but he saw his mother smiling brightly, and suddenly felt that his brain was comparable to that of a big-headed son.
"Auntie, I don't have any thoughts about this yet. Encore tried to withdraw his hand, but he didn't pull it out, but was slapped enthusiastically by his aunt.
Aunt earnestly educated Encore, "What kind of dedication do young people pursue nowadays, my son also preached to me with his head held high, '20-year-old is not single, it is poverty alleviation', in the end, he still listened to me, obediently got married, and now his son is three years old, how good, let me tell you about my daughter, this girl got married early, you can't delay!"
Auntie's mouth opened and closed, and fired a series of cannons at Encore's ears, Encore nodded with a dry smile on the surface, but the brain had already turned on the automatic blocking kinetic energy.
It wasn't until a nurse came over to make rounds that the aunt in the next bed stopped nagging like chanting.
An's mother drank chicken soup and whispered in Anke's ear: "Don't be impatient, that Dr. Wang is a few years older than you, I think people are very good, steady and down-to-earth, Si Sven, one day you come early, take advantage of the fact that others are not off work to have a look." ”
Encore covered his ears and began to play Laipi: "Tinnitus, tinnitus, tinnitus, can't hear, can't hear......"
As soon as Mother An saw that she couldn't support the wall with this mud, she suddenly became angry, and poked at her head with hatred.
At night, Enke accompanies the bed in the hospital, the elderly go to bed early, and before eleven o'clock, there is no sound in the ward, only she is left in a daze with her tired mobile phone, and her brain has long been unaware of flying to that different world, at this time, the screen lights up, and a WeChat message pops up, which is sent by her cousin Lin Duoduo.
[Duoduolong: Sister, why didn't you tell me that my second aunt was hit? I want to go back tomorrow to have a look. 】
[Ankle: My arm was broken, why do you want to come back?]
[Duoduolong: I'm worried, when I first heard the news, I was scared to death. 】
[Ankle: Whatever you want, if you come back, just wait for my mom to introduce you to a blind date, she has been in the hospital for a lot. 】
[Duoduolong: Hehehe, then I'll dedicate my youth to the rainforest!]
Anke and Lin Duoduo chatted blindly for a while, and the signal on Lin Duoduo's side was not very good, and Anke was also used to her state of disappearing in the middle of the chat, so he casually clicked into the circle of friends to shop.
There are not many people in her circle of friends, they are all poisoned in the middle of the night, Encore has dinner, at this moment, it is naturally poisonous, and she feels bored when she flips through it casually, and when she is about to quit, she just happened to catch a glimpse of a dynamic of Mu Tongfa,
"I'm coming back, my xiaolongbao wonton roast duck hot pot sweet and sour pork ribs fried rice noodles lamb skewers...... (Gluttony)"
Encore's heart jumped inexplicably at first, and then she was amused by the list of dish names he posted, and after hesitating for a while, she commented at the bottom,
"Ask for a chance encounter"
The phone shook,
"Little sister waiting for me (grimace)"
