The next day, the sky was still bright, and Ning Hua, who was homesick, went to catch the train. It was close to dusk when I got home, and in July, when the countryside was busy, my mother was decocting medicine with her back to the door, and my father went to the field to harvest rice.

"Mom, your illness has worsened again, what kind of medicine are you frying, so bitter. ”

"It's not sick, it's just some medicine for rheumatic pain, and you're graduating and working now, but everything is fine. ”

"Well, it's all good, I'll be in the company soon, you don't have to worry about me, I can make money to support you and my dad in the future, and when I save enough money, I can take you and my dad to the big city to have a good look." Ning Hua barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"That's good, that's good, me and your dad, just look forward to your good, we'll rest assured. ”

"You and Dad have to take good care of themselves, they have worked hard for me for so many years, and I will honor you in the future. ”

"Are there any suitable boys in Long Creek?" the mother asked.

"No, there is no suitable one. ”

"You are not young this year, and girls of the same age as you in the village have given birth to their second child. Mom has no other wishes, I just hope that you will start a family and find someone to love you, love you and care for you, Mom will rest assured, your father and I are still shallow, we can't give you a better life, and we can't protect you if you have anything outside. The mother said that she could not hide the tears in her eyes.

"Mom, don't say that, you and Dad have done enough for me, raising me so big and for me to go to college, I am reluctant to eat or wear and I owe a lot of debts at home, these will slowly get better in the future, you just take care of your body, don't worry about anything else, fate can't be forced. ”

"Actually, I didn't approve of your father's insistence that you go to college, and my mother knew that you didn't like to hear these words, but my mother still had to say it. Girls do have to get married and have children after all, although I hope that you can succeed in your studies and have a day when you can get ahead, but my mother hopes that you can live this life in peace and stability, although there are more opportunities for better conditions and environment in big cities, but you are also facing more risks and temptations outside. ”

"Mom, don't worry, I'll protect myself outside. ”

"And looking for a man, don't just look at the man's money, appearance, status, these things outside the body are temporary, of course it's better to have, don't force it too much now, as long as two people work hard together, these things will be there. A person's character is what follows a person for a lifetime, only if he truly loves you, is responsible and self-motivated, and at the same time you are willing to spend your life with him and is willing to work hard with him, such a relationship will last for a long time. ”

"Mom, I see. What about my dad, why haven't you come back so late, I'm going to see my dad. Ning Hua was reluctant to listen to the so-called experience of the older generation, although she felt that her mother's words were very reasonable, but at this time she wanted to be alone in emotional matters.

"Ning Hua, Ning Hua, I haven't finished talking yet. The mother shouted from inside the house.

"Mom, I'll go to the field and call my dad back. Ning Hua found an excuse to slip off the country road.

Every family in the countryside is very close to each other, and they are all acquaintances in close proximity to each other.

"Ouch, isn't this a college student from our village, when will you come back? "On the way, I met several women from the same village.

"Hello aunts. Just came back. Ning Hua replied.

"Ning Hua, it's time to work after graduating this year. Another aunt asked.

"Yes, just graduated from work. ”

"So how much do you earn a month now? ”

"When I first came out of work, I didn't earn much, and it was only two or three thousand a month. ”

"Oh, then this college student doesn't earn much in a month. The aunt muttered.

"Hey, Ning Hua, you can be regarded as back, look at your family's land, this piece of land is left uncut, there is no male baby at home, your mother can't help much, your father is really pitiful in the field alone every day. Another woman said

"yes, I was going to my dad. ”

"What can you do as a girl, you can't pick your shoulders and can't lift them. ”

"Always available to help. ”

"I thought that college students are more popular now, and it's only more than 2,000 a month, and my nephew doesn't graduate from junior high school and now earns more than this college student. ”

Ning Hua ignored them and walked past them.

"Yes, this girl's family has a fart to read so many books, before I told her father about the Chen family in the next village, her father disagreed. Now the Chen family not only married a daughter-in-law, but also bought a car and built a big house. Another aunt raised her voice deliberately for Ning Hua to hear.

"That is, how good it is to have a son-in-law, if there are many men in the family to help, her family's land will be cut long ago. The third woman continued.

Ning Hua listened to what they said, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, he was indeed too useless, not only could he not help his family at the moment, but he was also about to be unable to support himself.

Seeing his father in the field from afar, his father in the field was hunched over his back at sunset, and Ning Hua seemed to see the burden on his father's back. "The phrase 'facing the loess, facing the sky' is so accurate to describe my father. Ning Hua thought in his heart, remembered his recent experience and what a few aunts said, and rubbed the tears in his eyes at the sunset.

"Dad, Dad. Ning Hua called.

Father turned around. "Ninghua, why are you back? Apparently the father was surprised to see his beloved daughter who came back suddenly, and the father put down his work, walked in and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly, is something wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just come back to see you and Mom, don't work, go back, go back to eat." ”

"You go back first, it's dirty. I'll go back after I finish the last bit of work, other people's families have already finished their work, our family has been behind others for many days, and now that's all I have left, I'll go back when I'm done. The father said and went back to the field.

Ning Hua took out her mobile phone, there were no missed calls, and she sighed. sent a message to Li Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, is it confirmed to do sales? What does your manager say, please be sure to intercede for me and let me go in to do sales." ”

After his father was busy, under the sunset, Ning Hua helped his father back home. When it was almost time to get off work, Li Xiao plucked up the courage to walk to the manager's office because of the work of the two.

Li Xiao walked to the door of the manager's office and took a deep breath. There was a knock on the manager's office door.

"Come in. The manager's voice came from inside.

"It's Li Xiao. The manager raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao, and then dealt with the work at hand.

Li Xiao slowly walked to the manager's desk, "Manager, I'm ......"

"Sit down first, I have some things on hand. The manager interrupted Li Xiao and pointed to the chair against the wall and motioned for Li Xiao to sit there.

Li Xiao walked over and sat down quietly and waited for the manager's instructions.

"Wow, kick. "Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter. The manager replied without raising his head.

"Manager Wu, did you sign the document you just gave?" a female colleague came in and asked.

"I'm looking, you're just in time, I've got a couple of questions for you. The manager picked up the papers and walked over to the female colleague.

"What's wrong with you, look at your panicked look. The manager approached and asked.

"Manager Wu is now at the end of the day, my son's teacher called an hour ago that he had eaten something bad in the kindergarten and vomited. My husband is on a business trip again, since you still have a few questions about this document, let's see if you will deal with it tomorrow?" The female colleague frowned, and her voice looked anxious.

"That's right, okay. Then you go back first. ”

"Thank you, Manager Wu, thank you, Manager Wu. The woman said as she walked, and Li Xiao saw the panic of being a mother in her eyes.

"It's time to get off work, Li Xiao, you should go back first. The manager inadvertently said a word when he walked back.

"Manager, I have something to look for you. Li Xiao stood up and said.

"Oh, I forgot, look at my memory. Okay, you'll sit a little longer. I'll be done with the paperwork in no time. ”

Li Xiao sat down and watched her colleagues in the office leave one after another, leaving only her and the manager to stay in the company.

"Li Xiao, tell me something. About twenty minutes later, the manager watched Li Xiao sit a little drowsy, and then ignored her.

"Manager, is it true that you said last time that you could recommend me to a financial company?" Li Xiao said through the huge space.

"You're so far away, I can't hear what you're saying, come and sit here. The manager pointed to the chair across from him.

Li Xiao stood up, lowered his head and slowly walked to the chair opposite the manager and sat down.

"What did you just say, do you want to do financial sales?" the manager took an unhurried sip of water from the cup in front of him.

"Yes, I thought it through, I want to make money and I want to do sales. Li Xiao raised his head and said affirmatively.

"Okay, this is a good thing, I absolutely support it, although you have done a good job in our company, but I understand the difficulties of you little girls, you really need money when you just leave school. ”

"If you help me in, I will definitely repay the manager for your help in the future. ”

A sly smile appeared on the manager's face. "Don't rush to thank you first, I remember telling you last time that this company is not so easy for him to get into. ”

"How much money does it take. Li Xiao asked in a weak voice.

"Of course, you need money, but I also know that you don't have any money now, so I can pay for you for the time being. The manager leaned back in his chair and said.

"Manager, you are really the best good person in the world. Li Xiao raised his head and said sincerely.

"Sit, don't get excited. The manager motioned for Li Xiao to sit down. "I'm not a good person, and the reason why I'm willing to help you is, of course, conditional. ”

"What conditions. Li Xiao asked after sitting down.

The manager left his seat, slowly walked next to Li Xiao, and put a card in front of Li Xiao. "It's not convenient to talk about such personal matters in the office. If you really want to go to the financial company, tonight at 9 o'clock Meijing Hotel 1808 is waiting for you, this is the room key. ”

The manager left first, leaving Li Xiao alone in the company. For such a thing, she had actually been prepared before she came, but when it really came out of the mouth of the middle-aged man, she flinched a little. glanced at the message sent by Ning Hua asking about the work situation, but she did not reply to the message. I wanted to call Hong Xiaoyang, but after dialing the number, I hung up immediately.

"What do you mean, do you want to sleep with someone else? yes, he's a good boy and I'm a bad girl, and we're not meant to be together. I don't care about the money and the rest, everything that should come comes. Li Xiao finished saying this to the window, picked up the room card on the table and stepped out of the office.

"Xiaobai, you've been sitting with me all afternoon, and you don't say what's going on on the phone, you can always talk about it now that I'm back. Hong Xiaoyang opened the door and looked at Xiaobai lying on the sofa and said.

"It's quiet with you. Xiaobai sat up from the sofa.

"Yesterday, Ning Hua went to school to find out what you sent, look at your sullen appearance. ”

"You also know that Ning Hua went to the school to look for me, why didn't you tell me earlier. ”

"When she arrived at your school, she sent me a message saying that she didn't answer your phone, and asked if you were at school, and I thought you wouldn't answer her phone, so I would call you with the same result." Hong Xiaoyang pouted and said.

"Yesterday she came to school and saw me and Yating eating together, and then she ran away in a rage. ”

"Ran away, and later, did you catch up and explain. ”

"I wanted to catch up and explain, but Yating was by my side at the time, and she begged me to accompany her on her birthday yesterday, and I ...... I didn't come forward to explain. ”

"You mean you've been with Sun Yating since then?"

"Almost, I later learned that she came to school to see me because she had been fired from the company. ”

"Expulsion, how can you be expelled. ”

"I'm just wondering about this, so let's not talk about it. I haven't been able to contact her since then, and in the early hours of the morning, Li Xiao said that she hadn't gone back yet, and that she might be with a male classmate she had a crush on. ”

"Oh, I see, you're jealous. ”

"Yes, I'm still very angry, even if there is a misunderstanding between us, then she can't be with someone else's man in the middle of the night. ”

"This is just Li Xiao's speculation, did you see her with another man?"

"Nope. ”

"You didn't see her get angry with other men like this, but she saw you and Sun Yating eating together, and you have been with Sun Yating since then, have you ever thought about her feelings?"

"I ....... ”

"What are you, think about it, it's clear that you're wrong, and you still refuse to admit it. ”

……

At 8:55, Li Xiao arrived at the door of 1808. Just about to knock on the door, Xiaobai called.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao Ninghua is home, I haven't answered her phone. Before this, Bai Yitao had made more than 20 calls to Ning Hua.

"I'm going home, but I'm going back to my hometown, she's going to break up with you, don't call and harass her in the future. After Li Xiao finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and Bai Yitao called again, and she had already turned off the phone.

Li Xiao knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door, so she took out her room card and opened the door. When I walked inside, I didn't see the surname Wu, so I breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was relaxing, Manager Wu quietly appeared behind her.

"Ah, you scared me to death. Li Xiao turned around and saw Manager Wu in front of her.

"Now that you're here, it seems that you've thought it through, go take a shower, and put on the dress on the bed. Li Xiao glanced at a black sexy underwear on the bed.

"I have one more request. ”

"You say. ”

"My best friend is going in with me. ”

"No problem, ten girlfriends will do. ”

"Also, you have to keep our affairs secret, and you can't let a third person know. ”

"That's natural, I have a family and children, and I'm not going to hurt myself. ”

……

Two hours later, Li Xiao sent a message back to Ning Hua: The manager had agreed to help the two of us go to the financial company together for an interview next Monday.
