Chapter 94: Livelihood
Snow days.
When Zhang Yi returned to Shijiazhuang, it was snowing, the sky was gray, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on both sides of the street, and the road was full of traffic and dirty.
When I entered the house on the fifth floor, my father Zhang Luyuan prepared a table of dishes, and my mother Xu Haiping was busy taking dishes and chopsticks.
Zhang Luyuan: "It's cold!" Xiaoyi...... After eating, he said that he was going to pick you up, and you had to take a taxi yourself. ”
Zhang Yi patted the rain on his shoulder and said, "Dad! There's no need, it's nice to have dinner as soon as you get home...... Mom didn't go to work either, huh? ”
Xu Haiping smiled: "I have retired, just last month, and I haven't remembered to tell you." ”
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "It's okay, I blame you for going to work in this weather, if you want me to say that I should retire in the first two years, I have to insist, right...... Are you alright? ”
Xu Haiping: "Okay! Dinner, two days ago Zhang Zhe asked when you are going home......"
Zhang Yi: "He's back?" Isn't Beijing in good hands? What do you do when you come back? Can't get along, right? ”
Zhang Luyuan shook his head and ate his meal, Xu Haiping didn't speak again, as if he deliberately avoided something. Zhang Zhe, two years younger than Zhang Yi, junior high school and high school are in the same school, iron buddy. Zhang Yi went to the army, Zhang Zhe went to Guangzhou after graduating from high school, or met once five years ago, when it was the Spring Festival Zhang Yi went home to visit relatives, Zhang Zhe has moved to Beijing, it is said to work in a real estate agency.
Zhang Yi asked, "What's wrong?" What can't be said? I'll know sooner or later, if you don't say it, I won't know anything when I see him, isn't it? ”
Zhang Luyuan gasped: "His father is gone, and he has advanced liver cancer, more than two months." ”
It seems that each has its own difficulties, Zhang Zhe's situation is not good, how much better can Zhang Yi be? I thought about it for more than half a year, and I had no idea what to do when I got home. If you want to say that you can also find a job in a local unit, you have no counterpart to think about it, so you have to give up. Where to find a job? What to do is a problem, and Zhang Yi is facing a test.
Zhang Luyuan and Xu Haiping both knew Zhang Yi's situation and didn't say anything anymore, the family sat in the living room watching TV, Zhang Yi was a little at a loss, the gap from army officers to ordinary people was a little embarrassing, who to take refuge in, I really can't take refuge, more than ten years later, my friends have already started a family, gave birth to children, and accidentally became an older youth, and now I add a label that is a jobless vagrant.
The mobile phone rang, Zhang Yi looked at it, it was Liu Song, Zhang Yi picked it up and walked to the room.
Zhang Yi: "I just arrived home and eaten, have you eaten?" ”
Zhang Yi: "There is no snow in Xuzhou, right?" You don't know that Shijiazhuang is about to close the road, this snow is really heavy......"
Liu Song's situation is slightly better, and he already has a preliminary plan to open a musical instrument store after the year. Zhang Yi heard from Liu Song's phone call that Liu Song was in a good mood, his family fully supported, and even the store was chosen.
"Musical Instrument Walk...... How wonderful! Zhang Yi muttered to himself and returned to the living room.
Zhang Luyuan: "You want to open a musical instrument shop?" What instruments are sold? Piano? ”
Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not me who drives it, I'm a buddy, I'm going to open a musical instrument store in Xuzhou, I won't open it...... How boring is that! Guarding a storefront all day, I can't go anywhere. ”
Xu Haiping thought that her son had thought about opening a musical instrument shop, and her face was full of smiles, and when she heard that someone else had opened it, she was somewhat disappointed, sighed and said, "It's okay!" Think about it, it's not New Year's Day soon, it's a new year, and you won't find a girlfriend to get married...... Hey......"
This really hit Zhang Yi's life, work or something, you can think slowly, find a girlfriend to get married, it's so easy to say, but actually? The answer is that it is difficult to go to heaven.
Almost at the same time, Yang Bing from Longhu City also returned home for half a month, the weather in Longhu was very warm, there was still the sun at noon, but it was already a little cold in the morning and evening, so I had to add a sweater or something.
Yang Bing leaned back on the sofa and said to Yang Guangyao in his arms: "Call Dad!" ”
"Dad......" Yang Guangyao called obediently, touching Yang Bing's short hair with his little hand, which felt very interesting.
Yang Bing said: "Ah Yao, don't touch your hair, be careful that I hit you......"
Yang Guangyao smiled: "Why are you hitting me? Don't you touch my head every day? ”
Yang Bing put his son aside and said, "I can't tell you clearly!" Sit and watch TV......"
Yang Bing, who was transferred to another job as a major, was also facing a test, the treatment of the troops was satisfactory in all aspects, and he couldn't let go of his family and forcibly changed jobs, considering that the salary level in Longhu City was not up or down, and it was unrealistic to rely on his salary to borrow more than 10 million yuan from Long Yi, so he also gave up his job and bought it out at one time. When I returned home, I really didn't know where to start, Shu Yue had experienced that kind of situation, but fortunately, he was busy taking care of the children, and the gap was smaller.
Shu Yue smiled and said to Yang Bing, "Husband...... Are you thinking about it? We owe a lot of money to others! ”
Yang Bing: "If you owe it, you owe it!" Anyway, people didn't force you to pay it back right away, and now the top priority is to think about what to do, and it won't work to be idle like this...... My head hurts......"
Yang Guangyao looked at Yang Bing and asked, "If your head hurts, you have to see a doctor, and you need to take medicine to get better......
Yang Yu'an laughed as he listened to it, and said: "Ah Yao is really smart, he knows how to see a doctor for headache medicine, but I'm afraid that the doctor won't be able to see it well." ”
Yang Guangyao looked at Yang Yuan and asked, "Why can't you see it well?" The last time I had a headache, it was Dr. Yang's favorite......"
Yang Bing turned his head to look at his lovely son and asked, "Ah Yao, what do you think of Dr. Yang?" Can I see a headache? ”
Yang Guangyao nodded and thought seriously, and said after a long time: "If you want to take medicine, you may also need to take injections, Dr. Yang has a way, let your mother take you to have a look, but the injection is a little painful." ”
Yang Bing said: "Does it hurt?" Then I don't get an injection! ”
Yang Guangyao: "If you don't get an injection, you won't be ......"
There is no doubt that Yang Guangyao is a smart child. He had his own thoughts, although it was not wrong to see a doctor for a headache, but it was meaningless to Yang Bing, and the family was amused by the child's statement.
Yang Guangyao was still a child, and following his own thinking, Yang Bing communicated patiently, although he didn't know how to talk to him, and there was no way to explain why he couldn't touch his head, why Dr. Yang couldn't cure his headache.
In order not to dampen the child's self-esteem and curiosity, everything must be seen from the child's point of view and more for the child's sake.
Yang Bing said: "Then I'll still get an injection!" It's good to get a headache with an injection, right? Ah Yao. ”
Yang Guangyao: "It's good to get an injection, and it will be ...... soon"
Yang Bing asked, "Then does Dr. Yang need money for injections?" ”
Yang Guangyao shook his head, Yang Bing: "You don't want money, do you?" If you want money, your father can't get an injection if he doesn't have money, and his headache won't get better. ”
Ah Yao: "Don't want money, give back the candy!" ”
Yang Bing looked at Shu Yue, and Shu Yue said, "Doctor Yang gave him two pieces of candy last time, but I didn't expect him to remember it." ”
Yang Bing pinched his son's face and asked, "Dr. Yang doesn't need money for injections and gives candy to eat, why is that?" ”
Ah Yao glanced at his eyes and said, "Dad is so stupid, then Dr. Yang is a doctor...... The doctor is going to heal the disease...... Who will treat him if he is not given sugar? Simple question ......"
Yang Bing was unheard of, but with such an expression, he kept nodding his head and praising his son for being smart.
After a few days of consideration, Yang Bing owed Long Yi money, Long Yi's wife had an accident, Long Yi had been away from home for a while, and he was embarrassed to make trouble again, so he chose to go to the taxi company to drive for a period of time first, earn more and earn less second, and then move first.
Early in the morning, Yang Bing rode a motorcycle to Dasheng Taxi Company, and after smoking a cigarette, He Rongzhang, who was on the night shift, slowly leaned on the side of the road and walked down, very young and looked less than thirty, wearing a brown leather coat, looking at Yang Bing with a smile.
Yang Bing waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zhang, right?" I'll take over......"
He Rongzhang nodded: "Brother Bing? Waiting a long time? ”
Yang Bing shook his head: "It's me...... It's just been a while, how is the business? ”
He Rongzhang said with a smile: "There is no business, I found a place to sleep after four o'clock, and I didn't pull anyone after dawn, miserable!" ”
Yang Bing handed the cigarette to He Rongzhang and asked, "I just came, and I don't know how to do it, do you have any secrets?" ”
He Rongzhang shook his head: "What can be the secret?" Enough has been said about the training. Dora has few empty cars, and usually goes around in shopping malls, hospitals, community gate stations, etc...... Oh...... That's right...... Try not to play the meter if you can, anyway, you know, the experience is slowly accumulating, and it will really be unclear for a while. ”
Yang Bing extinguished the cigarette butt on the curb stone and began to check the car and the kilometer, because the fuel cost was calculated by the kilometer, and the two shared it equally.
He Rongzhang: "Do it well, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do......"
Yang Bing nodded: "Okay!" You go back early to rest, it's tiring to work the night shift, I'll invite you to dinner when you have a break. ”
He Rongzhang smiled: "Brother Bing is polite, let's go!" ”
Yang Bing was excited on the first day of work, so he forgot about being tired. Sitting in the car for hours in a row is a very tiring thing in itself, not to mention staring at who is beckoning on the side of the road anytime and anywhere, and how many people, as well as peers who are eyeing at the same time to grab business, and have to think about how to run the route more appropriately.
I was thinking about where to go for lunch, the phone rang, and Shu Yue said on the phone that he was ordering food at a nearby restaurant, and when he saw Shu Yue, Yang Guangyao was sitting next to Shu Yue.
Yang Bing: "Ah Yao...... Ever missed Daddy? ”
Yang Guangyao: "I want to ......"
Yang Bing smiled and asked, "Where do you think?" ”
Yang Guangyao pointed to his heart, Yang Bing kissed his son, and said to Shu Yue next to him: "It's too luxurious, order so many dishes!" I don't know if I made enough money for this meal this morning......"
Shu Yue looked at Yang Bing and smiled, and said distressedly, "How is it?" Tired or not? ”
Yang Bing: "It's okay! ”
Shu Yue: "This doesn't take into account that on your first day of work, take Ah Yao to have lunch with you, and there will be no such treatment in the future, no one can care about you if you eat steamed buns or drink porridge......"
Yang Guangyao: "Mom, I love to drink porridge!" ”
Yang Bing and Shu Yue smiled, a simple life is better than anything else.
