Chapter 426: I Was Looking Forward to It
"Sell your house?"
Xu Shuangchuan shrugged inexplicably, quite funny. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she was a child, she heard an old grandfather carrying a bucket and walking the streets and alleys like singing: "Sharpen the knife...... Sharpen the scissors. ”
She vaguely remembered that there were really grandmothers who took the kitchen knives at home to sharpen. The young Xu Shuang, the body is fat and glutinous, but it is a hollow mold, very timid, hiding on the side to see the strange, listening to the grandmothers greeting in twos and threes, surrounding the old grandfather who sharpens the knife, she is most afraid of the old grandfather when he lifts the kitchen knife and blows in the sun, but she can't help but want to see it, and always can't figure it out, what the old grandfather grinded, why she didn't look out.
Xu Shuangchuan stopped at sharpening knives and sharpening scissors for the itinerant sellers, and later added a kind.
Once, she was taken by her mother to play somewhere, and met another old grandfather at an intersection, also carrying a burden, a wooden board resting on a basket in front, and kept shouting: "Chop white sugar, chop white sugar." ”
Xu Shuangchuan didn't understand the meaning of chopping sugar for a while, until she saw two boys older than her counting coins, so Ah Gong pointed a small hammer at the light yellow round piece on the wooden board, and knocked a corner down. The boy put it in his mouth and took it in his mouth, and the cheerful expression on his face made Xu Shuang salivate.
She has never eaten chopped sugar, but the thoughts of that summer are deeply entrenched in her heart, and when she received the red envelope from her elders at the end of that year, she bit her ear to the best spoken father: "Dad, Dad, my New Year's money is for Dad, I want to exchange two coins, and then the same as the kindergarten who and who, buy a pig can, is it enough?"
Xu Manting really bought a piggy bank for his daughter and gave her several coins to learn to save money.
Xu Shuangchuan didn't have much idea about the size of the money back then, and she struggled with which one to choose. When she finally chose a dime coin, secretly put it in her clothes pocket, and was picked up by her mother from kindergarten every day, looking all the way, she realized that it seemed impossible to meet her grandfather who sold white sugar again.
When she was a child, she was stupid, thinking that she had to go to that intersection, and even that it had to be summer, so that she could wait until the candy seller.
Many years later, she went to the old streets of Guzhen with her classmates, and ate the wheat candy that was beautifully packaged and sold as a souvenir.
But Xu Shuangchuan always felt that the chopped sugar that she didn't eat when she was a child must have a more unique flavor, and she missed it, which was a small and interesting regret in her childhood.
Because of this, she is still full of childlike curiosity and expectation about these hawkers.
"Sell the house, sell the house?"
Door-to-door shouting, from sharpening knives and scissors, chopping sugar, skipping all the ten-yuan stalls, has it turned into selling houses?
"Oh, why did these real estate agents run into the community to find a house?" Xuan Chunhua opened the door, with the same incredulous expression, "Why did the doorman leak them in?
Mother and daughter went into the kitchen to make dinner. Xuan Chunhua cut the minced ginger and mixed it in the meat filling, asked Xu Shuang to peel two cloves of garlic, and suddenly said, "Xiao Jia bought a house by himself." ”
"Oh. ”
"Your aunt said, don't decorate first, Xiaojia's girlfriend doesn't know where it is, the decoration is early, and it won't be fashionable when you get married in the future. ”
"Oh. ”
Xuan Chunhua wiped the cutting board, glanced sideways at the girl, and saw the girl with her head down, carefully tearing the garlic clothes with her nails, so she sighed lightly and said no more.
Xu Shuangchuan contacted a new training school, and the other party asked her to come over for an interview, and tried to talk about it, and she was generally recognized, but there were no courses to bring to her for the time being, so she waited for the summer arrangement.
She was slightly disappointed, but she was also expected, and she was not in a hurry for a while, so she was ready to take more classes in the summer.
Halfway through, she received a call from the company's administrative manager: "Xiao Xu, what's the matter with your mobile phone? I can't get through to both." ”
"It just ran out of power and turned it off. Xu Shuang dropped a reason, the company counted her as a part-time job in terms of benefits, but hoped that she would be like a 24-hour worker, she had to be on call, and occasionally she had something at hand, and it was inconvenient to pick up, so she had to shout. She was interviewing just now, can she not turn off the phone?
The administrative manager explained: "Xiao Xu, we have a few Moroccan customers who want to come over during the exhibition, you go to the airport to pick them up, I will send you their itinerary, and you will receive it immediately." ”
"I'm outside, I'll take it when I get back. ”
Xu Shuangchuan listened to the repeated reminders of the administrative manager on the phone, and hung up the phone with a wry smile.
After a while, she received a call from the company's finance: "Miss Xu, there are several phone records in your phone bill reimbursement form, which were called to colleagues in the company, but they were all after we got off work, and the call time was relatively long, so you had better indicate the reason for the call." ”
Xu Shuang was so choked that she was speechless for a while, could it be that she still suspected that she had something to do at night to chat with her colleagues on a private phone call to talk about her ideals? ”
Xu Shuang was stupid, she turned back: "I got it." Of course, it was impossible to explain all the details in the email, and when my colleague received her call, he began to say specifically. That's why she calls her colleagues after work when she doesn't cook, and now the phone bill is on her head, and it's so difficult to be reimbursed.
If she continues to deal with her like this, Xu Shuangchuan is very doubtful that she will be able to hold out for a long time? She sent her weekly work summary to the leaders for review, and sometimes she could get a reply or two: "Xiao Xu, this matter has been done well this week." "After being praised verbally, Xu Shuangchuan will be happy for a while. But if communication in other areas has been so poor, she feels that her motivation is running out.
She returned to the community, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she heard the voice of the aunt next door an octave.
"Why are you like this, my door is smashed, see?"
The two porters smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, this plank is too long, it just slanted a little, and I accidentally touched your door." ”
The aunt stopped them and didn't let them go: "Accidentally, accidentally, what should I do if I smash the mark now? I'm the gate, is it ugly? Tell me yourself, what should I do?"
"Auntie, I'll wipe it for you. The middle-aged master who smiled like Maitreya Buddha directly pulled up his sleeves and raised his hand to wipe it on the door.
Xu Shuangchuan was blocked by them, stood on one side, and glanced at the door.
