Chapter 73: Fat in the Market

When he walked out of Tancheng Railway Station, Duan Shanshan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After spending the night in the turbid air of the air-conditioned sleeper car, I suddenly plunged back into the embrace of my hometown surrounded by green mountains, and I felt a sense of comfort floating in the clouds.

It's not easy to carry a travel bag and pull a suitcase through a crowd of bus drivers.

"Can you go, can't you go?"

"Mizuyoshi Mizuyoshi, in the last five minutes, the train will leave immediately!"

"If you go to the city, you can leave when it's full!"

……

In order to save money, many travelers to the city choose to carpool with others to squeeze noodles. Duan Shanshan didn't dislike noodles, but he felt that he had a lot of luggage, so it was more convenient to take a taxi. So he walked across the parking lot to the road and stopped an oncoming taxi.

Because the urban area is too small, no matter how you run one-way, it will not exceed the starting price, and the taxis in Tancheng City are generally not metered. Even outside the city limits, it is generally negotiated in person rather than by taxi.

After getting into the car, Duan Shanshan took out his mobile phone and called home, and when he heard the familiar female voice on the other side of the microphone, he was a little ashamed and a little excited.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

"Shanshan, why did you suddenly run back at this time? Isn't it a holiday, what happened?"

"Well, I resigned, I just quit yesterday, and I didn't tell you. I'll get off the train, I'll be home in a moment, and I'll talk about it when I get home. ”

Not long after putting away the phone, the taxi drove downstairs to his house. Duan Shanshan took out a five-yuan bill and handed it to the driver, said "Thank you, master" and got out of the car.

I casually found a breakfast shop near my home, ordered a soy milk powder, and added two fritters. After snoring and eating, Siri felt full of strength.

Carrying a suitcase and a travel bag, I climbed to the eighth floor in one go, and it seems that the amount of exercise I have been exercising lately has really worked. In the past, with so many things to climb these hundreds of steps, he had to rest for at least a few minutes to catch his breath or something.

Standing at the door of the house for a few seconds, calming down and thinking about how to deal with the questions of his family, he took out the key and opened the door and walked in.

"I'm back. Duan Shanshan said loudly as he entered the house.

When his mother heard the sound, she came out of the back room, took the suitcase for him, and when she saw his size, she was taken aback, and asked in a puzzled voice: "Son, have you lost so much weight? Are you tired from working in Hangzhou? Why did you quit your job all of a sudden? You are really a child, and you don't even say hello to us beforehand." ”

"It's okay if you're tired or not, the main thing is that you're not happy, so you resign, don't you ask so much?" Duan Shanshan walked towards his bedroom with his travel bag on his back, casually prevaricating, "No one of my body except you will say that I am 'thin'!"

"How long do you plan to stay at home when you come back this time?" the mother continued.

Duan Shanshan took off his travel bag and threw it on the floor next to the computer desk, sat down in front of the computer desk and turned on the machine.

"I don't have any plans yet, let me rest for a few days, okay, Mom?"

The mother was stunned, and after a while said behind him: "That's okay, since you're back, let's take the time to go on a blind date, many classmates and friends have asked me about you, saying that there is a suitable girl to introduce you to you." ”

"Mom, did you spare me? How many of the girls that your classmates and friends introduced to me last time were reliable?" Duan Shanshan turned around helplessly, "You can't be patient, I said I'll find it myself!"

"Patience? How old are you! Are you still a child? You don't care about yourself, you don't know what other people say about your parents behind your back, that we spoil you, or that we don't care about you at all!" the mother frowned and stood without backing down, "Even if the introduction of those before is unreliable, it doesn't mean that these people are not suitable now, no matter what, you have to find time to meet with people." ”

Duan Shanshan rubbed his eyebrows depressedly, looked at the wrinkles on his mother's forehead and the white hair on his temples, his heart softened, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.

Finally dealt with her mother perfunctorily, and after coaxing her out of the house, Duan Shanshan sighed and closed the door.

took out his mobile phone and first sent a text message to Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong, Ruoying and other people, saying that he had arrived home, and not long after he put down the phone, Liu Kewei called directly.

"Are you home?" the voice was still as arrogant and unbeaten as ever.

"Well, just arrived. Why did you get up so early?" Duan Shanshan was a little incredulous, looking at the time was less than eight o'clock, when did Liu Kewei get up at this point in time?

"I didn't sleep! After a night of playing World of Warcraft, I was about to go to bed, and your text message came. Liu Kewei said with a smile, "It's been hard along the way, take a good rest." ”

"It's okay, the road wasn't very hard, but when I got home, my mother was tired of saying a few words, and forced me to go on a blind date. I finally sent him away, so I texted a few of you. Duan Shanshan said depressedly.

"Yes, who made you look for a girlfriend when you are a lot older. Liu Kewei smiled gloatingly, "If you are idle, I suggest you find some relaxing and fun Korean variety shows to watch and adjust your mood." ”

"Oh, do you have any recommendations?" Duan Shanshan asked indispensably.

"Ah, if you want to recommend, that's too much! You wait, I'll send it to you on QQ!" Liu Kewei said urgently, and hung up the phone without authorization.

Listening to the busy sound coming from the microphone, Duan Shanshan rolled his eyes and put down the phone again. A few minutes later, Liu Kewei posted a large number of video files on QQ.

"I recommend "Notes 090828 My Loved Ones", I have watched them more than a dozen times, and I laughed once I watched them! There is also "Riding the Wind and Waves 100420"...... Feel free to do the rest. I sent you these first, I was sleepy, and I fell asleep with the machine on. ”

"Well, I'll take it, you go to sleep. ”

―――――――― divider of the twenty-second appearance――――――――

The scene is in an inconspicuous bubble tea shop on the pedestrian street in the center of Tancheng City, and the bloody blind date script is being staged. Three people sat at a table. Opposite Duan Shanshan was a girl in her twenties, as well as her mother.

"What do you do?" the mother said as she looked at Duan Shanshan with a scrutinizing gaze.

The girl sat with her head down, fiddling with the straw in the paper cup, and sat aside without speaking.

"I used to be a game planner, but I just quit my job, and now I'm unemployed. Duan Shanshan said with a smile.

"What does game planning do?" the mother frowned in confusion.

"It's just a game, like that greedy snake or Angry Birds in your phone, didn't Mom teach you how to play?" the girl interjected without raising her head.

"Really?" asked the mother, confused.

Duan Shanshan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's about the same." ”

"How much is a month's salary?" the mother changed the subject.

"At first, it was 3,000, but then it rose a little, more than 5,000. Duan Shanshan replied calmly.

"This salary is not very high, and it is better than our neighbor's son who works in Rongcheng......" the mother muttered and asked, "Where did you work before?"

"The development zone of Hangzhou. Duan Shanshan continued with a squeezing of his temperament.

"Hangcheng is very good, why should you resign if you do a good job?" the mother asked suspiciously, staring at Duan Shanshan's expression.

"I quit because I was unhappy, and there was no other reason. Duan Shanshan replied with a wry smile.

The mother's face immediately fell, and she said with an unhappy look: "Hey, you children nowadays, you are just living too comfortably, and if you are not happy, you will resign?"

Duan Shanshan smiled and rubbed his nose, wasn't the life of a freelance writer before just staying at home and changing code words for manuscript fees to get by?

"Do you have a house of your own?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the mother threw out a new question.

"Well, no, I live with my parents. Duan Shanshan lowered his eyelids and avoided the aggressive gaze on the other side.

"The house in Tancheng City is so cheap, why don't you buy one yourself? Do you plan to live with your parents after you get married?" a look of disdain flashed on the mother's face.

"Well, because I'm not sure if I'll stay in Tancheng in the future, maybe I'll go out to work if I have the chance, maybe I'll settle there. Duan Shanshan explained helplessly, but he also knew very well that this statement would be used as an excuse by the other party nine times out of ten, "I'm alone now, and it's convenient to live and eat with my parents." ”

……

The back-and-forth question-and-answer lasted for fifteen minutes, and Duan Shanshan felt like a big piece of fat on the counter in the vegetable market, and customers passing by could judge it with a wanton picky gaze.

"Ah, it's so fat, it's disgusting!"

"This meat doesn't look fresh, did it last night?"

"Is it quarantine? It can't be 'black' meat, right?"

Although he was impatient in his heart, he couldn't stand up and walk away like he did in Hangzhou. It doesn't matter if he has face or not, this kind of blind date activity is often introduced by the so-called comrades-in-arms, classmates, and friends in his parents' social circle, and the scene is too ugly to be sorry for his parents.

"Mom, I want to eat grilled wings. The girl opposite was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her head and interjected again, but her eyes glanced at Duan Shanshan.

"You kid didn't eat at home, why do you want to have a snack when you go out on the street?" the mother scolded her daughter, but she sat still motionless.

"It's okay, Auntie, you sit down for a while, I'll go buy it. Duan Shanshan stood up very gracefully, turned around and walked out of the store, and there was a fast food restaurant next door.

After ordering two servings of grilled wings, Duan Shanshan simply sat down and waited in the fast food restaurant, but kept muttering in his heart that it was better not to finish the roast so quickly, and it would be better to make it for a while.

P.S. was annoyed by the three days and two ends of the station SMS reminder and unauthorized use of simple spelling replacement, and the domestic place names will be replaced with abbreviations and pronouns in the future. I really don't understand what is so harmonious in my book, and I ask myself since I was a child, and I am a good child who has three normal views and never is anti-country, anti-social and anti-human, and I am not interested in writing any sensitive content and taboo topics to attract attention, why don't I write a few city names that everyone knows openly? So I'm sorry readers, if there are any inconsistent place names or the like, just laugh it off, just understand it, just guess if you can't understand it, it shouldn't be a big problem.
