Chapter 12: Friends
Reiko is the friend who grew up with Manaine and later went to work in the provincial capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoShe is the same age as Mainai, probably because she entered the society earlier, plus the needs of work, she dresses more fashionably. So the whole person seems to be much more mature than Manaina, but it makes Manaine look much more petite.
She sells clothes to her boss in the provincial capital, although she works hard, the salary is not low, and she can still wear good clothes. Although it is more expensive to rent a house by herself, fortunately, there are more sisters like her. If you rent a house together and share the rent, you can save a lot every month.
No, a clothing store next door to her work needs a waiter, so let them help find one. And she happened to be home from vacation and listened to her mother talk about Manaina. So, I kindly came over and asked Maina's opinion. If she could, she would take her with her when she returned. In this way, I not only helped my friend, but also helped the boss next door. The most important thing is that she and Manaine went out from the same village, and they are much better than others in something.
It's tiring to work outside alone, and if she has a trusted friend who can help, she will be more relaxed. Besides, Maina is beautiful, or graduated from high school, if he has a future career, he can follow the light, right? Therefore, when her mother despised Manaine and said that she could not endure hardships and work, she saw her suitable life and future. Ignoring his parents' obstruction, he used the time after dinner to find Mainai's house.
Sure enough, the Ma family's parents were very happy, not only took out the delicious food at home, but also kept thanking themselves for thinking about their family's Nana, and hoped that she could help Nana more after going to the provincial capital. Although she was friends with Maanain, she was jealous of her from the bottom of her heart - she had a pair of parents who felt sorry for her. Although his parents also feel sorry for themselves, they want to get more money from themselves.
Every time they come back, they may be concerned about their own situation, but more about their own purse. There were only two children in the family, themselves and their younger brother, and they saved all the money they got back, saying that it was for their younger brother to marry his daughter-in-law.
Yes, after his younger brother graduated from junior high school, he didn't have any skills, and he always went in and out of the east and west every day. Marrying a daughter-in-law doesn't cost you more money. But what about yourself? Parents never considered whether they needed to find their in-laws' home? Do you need to prepare more dowry?
Fortunately, I also kept an eye on myself and did not tell my parents that I was earning a benefit wage. Otherwise, when they are unemployed, they will not use their family's money to spend on themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ling glanced at Ma Nana. "That Nana, if you go to the provincial capital with me, there are some things that are better not to let our family know."
Although she said it vaguely, Manaine quickly understood her hint. She knows the situation at Zhou Ling's house. Her parents are patriarchal, and all the money she earns should be given to her parents to save. Then she is bound to save some private money for herself. I work with her, and I know her income very well, if she accidentally knows about it, then she will probably be scolded by her parents.
For such parents, she is incomprehensible, but she supports Zhou Ling. Women must have their own wallets at all times. That's confidence, and it's even more dependent, whether it's in front of parents or husbands.
"yes, I know." Ma Nanai nodded solemnly, she was very grateful to Zhou Ling. With her guidance, parents will worry less about themselves, and they will take fewer detours when they go to the provincial capital. She's really nice and she'll remember how she helped her.
Although neither of them said it explicitly, Zhou Ling just knew that Ma Nanai understood his worries. Don't ask her how sure she is, but that's what her instincts tell her. If she said that when she came, she just pulled a helper for herself, then the exchange at this time made her full of expectations for the future of the two people. Perhaps, they can really develop into girlfriends.
At last week's sparkling eyes, Maina seemed to know her thoughts and nodded. At this time, she also had a desire in her heart to have a deep friendship with Zhou Ling. Hopefully, they can really develop a lifelong friendship with each other.
"Huh!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled, each with a sincere smile on their faces, their eyes were imprinted with each other's images, and at the same time, they also had each other's existence in each other's hearts.
"I'll stay at home for two days, so if you have anything to prepare for these two days, hurry up. Winter clothes or something can be brought, our shopping mall is very warm in winter, and the place where we live is also very warm. "Since they have a desire to have a deep relationship with each other, Zhou Ling also said it when they didn't plan to say it before, and reminded it from the other party's starting point.
Maanaine nodded gratefully. "Okay, I'll get what I'm going to bring with me tomorrow."
In her previous life, she had gone out to work, so she knew what she needed to prepare for leaving home. Even if she later became a second wife, these things have always existed in her memory, even more deeply than the things she enjoyed later.
"Okay, I'm not going to sit down, I'm going to help the family break corn tomorrow. Leave the afternoon the day after tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll look for you at noon the day after tomorrow." They are five or six hundred miles away from the provincial capital, and they first have to go to the county railway station to buy tickets, and then they can take the train to the provincial capital. At the current speed, it will be midnight when we get to the provincial capital.
As if seeing the worry flashing in Manaina's eyes, Zhou Ling patted her arm. "Don't worry, although it was midnight when we arrived in the provincial capital, I had already arranged for my friend to pick up the station. If you want to get more things, you can do it, but we don't live in a very big place. ”
"I see." Maanaine didn't plan to take more, and after she was reborn, she couldn't look down on the clothes she had bought before. Those clothes not only made her look childish, but also frivolous, so she only chose the more ordinary ones to wear. After arriving in the provincial capital, if conditions permitted, she bought a few new sets of clothes by herself. So, she really doesn't have much luggage.
"Okay, it's time for me to go." Zhou Ling can see that Ma Naina is a cool person, so there is no need to say anything superfluous, in short, there will be opportunities in the future.
"I'll send you." Knowing that she went home, there were many things, and Maina did not leave anyone.
Seeing that Zhou Ling was leaving, Ma Changtai and Bao Junlan also came out of their house. "Second uncle and second aunt, go back."
It was already completely dark, and this was not good in the countryside, if it wasn't for around fifteen, it would be difficult to walk through the night dew. Fortunately, Zhou Ling had already prepared and held this flashlight in her hand. As soon as I got out of the yard, I turned on the flashlight. Seeing that the people of the Ma family who were going to continue to send themselves to him, they were busy refusing.
The Zhou family lives in the east of the village, while the Ma family lives in the west, so this distance is really not short. Bao Junlan and Ma Changtai were not at ease, and finally simply asked Ma Nainai and Ma Changtai to send Zhou Ling together. Not to mention that people kindly came to introduce work to Mainaina, it was so late in the sky, and a big girl walked at night, and they were not at ease. Therefore, in the end, it was the Ma family's father and daughter who sent Zhou Ling home together.
Along the way, Zhou Ling and Ma Naina talked a lot about their work and the various guests they met. Although she just described it very plainly, Ma Changtai was a little worried about his youngest daughter's future life after listening to it. I didn't expect to be so difficult to be a clothing salesperson? There is even a person who wants to beat someone if he disagrees? And then there are those peers who are jealous of your good business and make it bad, how can he be frightened when he listens?
So the first thing he did when he got home with his daughter was to report to his wife what he knew, looking at his worried and sad face, Bao Junlan glared at him angrily. "What do you think? Is the money so easy to make? Is there no risk in that industry? Our old farmers still have to look at the eyes of God when they farm? I'm happy, and the year is going well. I'm not happy, it's either strong wind or heavy rain, and I can't give you a hailstorm. What about you? It's good to be a mason for someone? The food is not good, and the road is still long. When encountering a bad employer, the wages are not happy, and even the faulty ones are not paid. ”
Seeing that her words came out, her husband's face was scornful, and Bao Junlan hurriedly changed the topic. "She's out, and naturally everything will happen, and it's also an opportunity to exercise. It's better than farming at home, right? Can she farm like that? Anyway, we didn't point to her to make money to support the family, as long as she was happy outside. It doesn't matter how much money you make, as long as people are safe. So, you don't have to worry. How can I say that there is still a Zhou Ling there, if something happens, she will always help Nana. What's more, you don't know Nana's temper, she is the one who suffers? ”
Since she was a child, her youngest daughter has never suffered a loss. Not only at home, but also in the village, and even more so at school. First, because she is beautiful, everyone is tolerant of beautiful things, especially those skin boys are even more tolerant of Nana. The second is that Nana has been smart since she was a child, she reads well, and her teachers and classmates like her, so she has never been angry when she grows so big. Thinking about it like this, both husband and wife were relieved.
didn't know that their daughter had never been bullied since she was a child, but she fell big when she was older. The big wrestling that made her unable to turn over for the rest of her life. The couple here are relieved, but over there Manaine is calculating the path he should take in the future.
At this time in his previous life, he was in love with Hu Yang, and he was full of longing for the future. After the opposition of his parents and sister, he resolutely took his parents' savings and left his hometown with Hu Yang. The night before leaving, I didn't toss and turn, but had a good sleep and a good dream. And finally?
Come to think of it, Maanaine only had a wry smile. Now that she has the opportunity to do it all over again, she is grateful.
In her previous life, most of her knowledge of provincial cities came from TV shows. I was only there once, and I followed the first man to a meeting. At that time, she was a passerby, even if she was rescued by someone in danger at that time, she didn't have much affection for the provincial capital.
Speaking of that distress, she couldn't help but think of the officer who saved her. Before I met him, I didn't have any special feelings. But the moment she was rescued by him, she felt her heart beat faster. Later, she learned a word, to subdue temptation. Maybe it's his wide clothes that give me a heart-warming feeling. As for the handsome and tough face, she completely ignored it.
Will I be able to reunite with him this time? What would he think of himself? Or is it the coldness on his face after sending himself back to the hotel in his previous life and seeing the man he followed? Or is it the amazement that flashes in your eyes when you look at yourself? For this stranger, who had only met once, Maanaine could clearly remember his face. And those men who have followed him, their faces have become completely blurred at this time.
