Yunlin Art Advertising Service Department is a small advertising company, and under Brother Zhou's strong recommendation, I still live here temporarily.

The director of the company is a retired old painter in his sixties, named Li Shilu, who is good at painting Chinese characters, and he is our head. This old man, always going in and out with a young woman, saying that it is a secretary, is actually an unclear relationship, and he also sleeps together at night. She doesn't do anything, she just cares about the money, and sometimes Mr. Li asks her to be a model when she paints. Anyway, the money given by Boss Ye, those of us who work part-time, is not surprising, this Teacher Li is said to be a distant relative of Boss Ye.

There are three people who do design, Xiao Zhu is from Xingxing Township, Attached District, HP County, called Zhu Jinzan, and he paints oil paintings. Another master carved the seal, saying that he came from SH Jingyuan Thatched Cottage. In this way, with a few miscellaneous little brothers, it is a decent little advertising company, and the business is really good.

My division of labor, mainly responsible for the design of art and advertising typesetting, etc., at that time there was no computer, until the 90s only had a computer, the design is pure hand-drawn, art words rely on the grid grid. Because Xiao Zhu was born in oil painting, he is not very useful in this applied art company, so he can only do some handiwork. Xiao Zhu is about the same age as me, this person is kind, doesn't talk much, doesn't talk around the bush, and his expression skills are also very poor, even a little muna, but he is a good person, and I quickly became good friends with him. Xiao Zhu's teacher is at Shenzhen University, and he goes to the art department of Shenzhen University to attend adult classes while working.

Our company is on Renmin North Road, very close to the Workers' Cultural Palace, and a short walk to Jiefang Road is the Xinhua Bookstore, so the Cultural Palace and Xinhua Bookstore are also places I often go to after work. At that time, there was also art training in the Cultural Palace, and the teacher's name was Xiao Huanqun, and I often went to consult him whenever I had time.

After work, I moved out at Brother Zhou's house, because I couldn't always trouble him, and I went to the Cultural Palace to study at night in order to facilitate myself.

About a month after I left my original company, one day Lao Zhou came over and asked me to come to his house for dinner in the evening, and I went to his house after work.

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family has great cooking skills, and she cooks delicious dishes every time, and I like to eat the shredded cakes she makes. She is from Qingzhou, Ludi, and she is from Jingtang Ancient Village, Qingzhou. Qingzhou is one of the nine ancient states in China, known as Yidu in history. It is said that it can be verified that since the three emperors and five emperors, there has been an ancient Qingzhou. Qingzhou Museum is also the only national first-class museum in a county-level city in the country. Qingzhou mountains and rivers are beautiful, outstanding people, Fan Zhongyan has been degraded here, Fan Gongting Park is named in honor of Fan Gong. The sister-in-law of the Zhou family attaches great importance to etiquette, and always calls me uncle, and every time I feel here, it is like returning home, which makes people feel warm!

This night, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family made another table of Hollywood, four cold and four hot, I asked Brother Zhou how to cook so many dishes? Brother Zhou pretended to be mysterious and said that there were still people coming.

After a while, I saw Jialing arrive with two bags of fruit in her hand, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw her, both happy and inexplicably embarrassed, and my face turned red all of a sudden. As soon as she entered the door, instead of greeting Brother Zhou and his wife, she asked me naturally and generously:

"Hanzhe, how long have you been?"

She spoke softly and cordially, the kind of person who asked for warmth, which made people get closer at once.

I felt refreshed for a while, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and all the embarrassment disappeared. I smiled and replied to her:

"Just arrived, Lingling, listen to your tone, as if you know I'm coming?"

Jialing smiled and didn't answer, put a bag of fruit on the coffee table, and gave the other bag to the sister-in-law of the Zhou family. Then she looked at me, pointed to the fruit on the coffee table, and said to me kindly and gently:

"Remember to bring it back when you go back, and if you can't finish it, you can take it to the company and let your colleagues share it. ”

"Lingling, you are so good to me! Put it here at Brother Zhou's house first, I will come to work tomorrow to get it, thank you!"

I was moved from the bottom of my heart, and I reached out to shake Lingling's little hand, and a warm current poured into my body. I politely got up again to give up my seat for Jialing, and after Jialing sat down, she looked at me and smiled, beckoned me to sit down, and then said to me:

"No thanks, you just arrived in the new company, get along well with your colleagues, you are my friend, I should care, I will go to your company to see you again when I am free." ”

My heart tightened for a while, and I thought to myself: Jialing asked me to bring the fruit back to my colleagues to share, I am really considerate in the subtleties, which shows that she has my heart, and I should treat her well. I said emotionally:

"Lingling, you are so good to me!"

"Yes, Hanzhe, don't mind, a few fruits aren't worth a few dollars. I'm not too embarrassed to handle it. Don't take it personally. ”

Brother Zhou arranged the dishes at this time, and beckoned us to eat, so I pulled Jialing into a seat for dinner. During the banquet, Brother Zhou first said:

"Hanzhe, first of all, congratulations, the painting you sent to the exhibition won the first prize, and there is only one first prize in this exhibition, and it is you. Come, come, come, let's toast to Hanzhe!

The four of us happily raised our glasses and drank them all. Jialing was the happiest, choking with a smile, she didn't know how to drink, and after this glass, her whole face was as red as Guan Gong. I hurriedly brought her a glass of water, and after drinking the saliva, Lingling said:

"Hanzhe, congratulations, you are great, I am happy, make an exception for this cup, thank you. ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family answered: "Jialing, Uncle Hanzhe is a good man, one glass of wine is not enough, you have to drink a few more glasses, I'm happy." ”

Jialing said: "Sister-in-law, no, no, I really don't know how to drink, otherwise I will definitely drink more for such a celebratory thing." Jia Ling said as she put vegetables in my bowl.

Brother Zhou said: "Jialing, are you your own person?" Haha, it seems that the two of you will really be a couple in the future." Come, Hanzhe, let's have another drink. For you, for Jialing, take another drink, it will be a double happiness. ”

"Brother Zhou, are you making fun of me?" Jia Ling smiled slightly and said to Brother Zhou.

Brother Zhou clinked glasses with me and drank them all. Then he said:

"Jialing, it's not a joke, you gave me your time and eight characters that day, I and Lao Ye are a good match, they really match Hanzhe, they love each other all their lives, they support each other, and their husbands sing and their wives follow. However, within two or three years, Jialing will have another catastrophe, as long as this catastrophe is passed, it will be rich and glorious for a lifetime. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, and asked Brother Zhou in disbelief: "Is this catastrophe serious?"

Brother Zhou said: "It's okay, it can't be smooth sailing in anyone's life, and it's normal to have a little setback, but you two are really a natural pair, and you have a happy marriage." ”

After Jialing heard this, she also said to Brother Zhou: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, if you have the fate to walk with Hanzhe and suffer a little setback, it is also worth it." After Jia Ling said, she also looked at my reaction. I said, "Marriage can't be wrong, Lingling, if it's fate, then there will be." Come, let's thank Brother Zhou. ”

After everyone finished drinking, Sister-in-law Zhou told everyone to eat more vegetables, and Jialing put vegetables in my bowl again. Brother Zhou instructed me again: "Hanzhe, you have to attend the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, and I will take you there then." Originally, if you are in the company, how good it is for you to attend on behalf of our company, I can also arrange a group of people to go together in the company, with a long face and a lot of momentum. However, now it has become our private matter, but I still told Dandan and Mr. Lin in the office building that it is up to them whether they love to go or not. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, this glass of wine, I respect you and sister-in-law, you have always cared for me, thank you very much!"

I stood up and was just about to toast Brother Zhou's sister-in-law.

Jia Ling also stood up at this time and said, "Big brother, I also toast you and your sister-in-law." ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family stood up and picked up the cup, but obviously said to Jialing half-jokingly:

"I said Sister Ling, you don't have to help so soon, you wait a minute, come alone, didn't you say that you would make an exception?"

Jialing's face turned even redder all of a sudden, her face was full of spring, she looked at me affectionately and said:

If it weren't for Brother Zhou, I might not be able to be friends with Hanzhe, drink and eat together. ”

Brother Zhou couldn't stand up at this time, and the four of them had another drink, and Brother Zhou also asked everyone to sit down and eat.

The lively atmosphere made everyone happy at once, and Jialing wrote happiness all over her face. She always helped me with the food, and she really took care of me so much that I was a little embarrassed. The sister-in-law of the Zhou family always gave Brother Zhou a look, and Brother Zhou also said knowingly:

"Hanzhe, Jialing is indeed a good girl, you two have a lot of contact, strive to be able to walk together, I, this matchmaker should be interesting, haha, come, eat vegetables." ”

Brother Zhou's tone was very sincere, and Jia Ling nodded straight after hearing this, and then said with a little shyness:

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, I will. ”

I looked at Jialing and said:

"Okay, yes, Lingling is a good girl, and she is a very sensible and beautiful girl, if fate comes, there is also this possibility. ”

When Jia Ling heard me say this, her eyebrows fluttered even more happily. She continued: "Brother Zhou, Hanzhe, on the day of the opening ceremony of the exhibition, I will definitely go and cheer for Hanzhe. ”

Brother Zhou answered: "Okay, call Mr. Lin over too, add some popularity to Hanzhe, the more lively the better, we all have light on our faces." ”

I said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you Lingling." ”

Jialing said no thanks, everyone chatted happily again, and the four of them ended the dinner with joyful laughter.

After Jialing and I came out of Brother Zhou's house together, Jialing said that it was still early, and today was the weekend, and it happened that everyone's music singing activity started, so it was better to sing and have fun. I also deliberately wanted to vent it, wash away the depression in my heart during this time, and I came to everyone with Jialing.
