Chapter 2 Accidental Crossing
Pounding her sore shoulders, Ruan Jingshu opened the door and changed into slippers at the entrance. When I looked up, my mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and when the smell came, I realized that I was a little hungry. Throwing his backpack on the couch, he tore open a bag of biscuits on the coffee table and nibbled on it. Pick up the remote control and turn on the TV, sit on the couch and change the channel aimlessly.
"I'm back, why don't you look good, are you too tired?" Mom asked with a worried face.
"Fortunately, there is a batch of goods from the headquarters today, and my cousin is a little too much, and I just finished busy." She didn't even blink her eyes, staring straight at the TV screen.
"Eat less of these things, it's all preservatives. Let's wash our hands first, and the dish will be ready in no time. After saying that, Mom turned and walked to the kitchen.
"Uh-huh, got it." Ruan Jingshu stared at her mother's back, was stunned for a few seconds, didn't say anything, and went back to her room to change into home clothes.
Her mother, Wu Yufang, is a typical housewife. Growing up in the countryside, she is the fifth of seven brothers and sisters in her family, and her family is not wealthy. When my father went to the countryside, he fell in love with his mother, and after marriage, he went to live in the city with his father, and often went to his hometown in the village to get gifts. During the New Year's holidays, they have never been left behind, and they are envious of the villagers and neighbors. But after divorcing her father, she rarely came back, maybe it's a shame! In the village, there were still a few divorces at that time.
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, my mother is also a person in her 60s, but she still has to look forward and backward for her, which is simply heartbreaking. "Ah~~", Ruan Jingshu scratched her hair in annoyance, thinking: It would be nice if life could start all over again! After thinking about it, she shook her head again, and patted her cheeks with both hands: "Don't dream, go out, eat!" ”
My mother had already brought the meal to the table, four dishes and one soup, all of which she liked to eat. She couldn't help but lean her head on her mother's shoulder, and rarely lied to her: "It's good to have a mother." ”
"How old is this kid, and he is still coquettish?" Wu Yufang nodded her forehead with a sneer. "Eat quickly, or it'll be cold."
"Uh-huh, Mom, you eat too."
"Why did your cousin buy so many goods today?"
"Don't you want to open a new store? Door-to-door service ......"
######
On Sunday, Ruan Jingshu deliberately got up early in the morning, and her cousin's new store finally opened today. She opted for a plain white T-shirt with a light blue denim knee-length skirt and white casual shoes. With her long hair tied up in a ponytail and a canvas cartoon backpack straddled over her shoulders, she set off briskly towards the new store.
The new store is only ten minutes away from her house, and her cousin transferred her to the new store to help, and also to bring the newcomers. Passing by a flower shop around the corner, she wanted to send a bouquet of flowers to her cousin to congratulate. Because it was still early, there were not many people in the flower shop. She looked around and saw that the flower shop was small but had a wide range of varieties.
"Beauty, what flowers do you want to choose? Who to send, I can help you refer to it. At this moment, out of the back room came a short-haired and thin woman, in her thirties, with a very magnetic voice.
"I'll take a casual look, it's going to be given to my cousin, her supermarket opens today." Ruan Jingshu's eyes were still lingering on the various flowers.
"How about the Fortune Tree? Not only does it have the meaning of blessing, but it also has the purpose of purifying the air and beautifying the environment, which is very easy to take care of. The florist lady whispered.
Suddenly, Ruan Jingshu was attracted by a beautiful blue flower. The bulb is spherical, with leaves like a short sword, thick and sessile, with five or six pieces in total. The flowers are drawn from the bulbs, racemes, surrounded by twenty or thirty small flowers, each with six petals, and the single flower looks like a small lily. It opens from bottom to top, and emits bursts of floral fragrance.
"This is hyacinth, also called Narcissus." The proprietress looked at her with a smile and said.
"Oh? This is a hyacinth flower, it's so beautiful. What is the language of flowers? ”
"Hyacinths were first produced in the Netherlands. Its demeanor is outstanding, its appearance is beautiful, and its colors are rich, and it is very popular and loved by people. After being introduced into our country, with its beautiful flowers and gorgeous colors, it has formed a unique landscape, and the market demand is getting bigger and bigger. Hyacinths of different colors have different flower languages: red represents thank you, pink represents enthusiasm, pink represents elegant fragrance, and yellow represents I am happy; Purple hyacinths represent sadness and jealousy, lilac hyacinths represent gentle temperament and romantic feelings, and white hyacinths represent pure, light or undaring love. All colors of hyacinths are improved from blue hyacinths, which are the ancestors of hyacinths, so the flower language of blue hyacinths is - life. Whoever is blessed by this flower is born with vitality in life. Of course, it is also quite popular with the opposite sex, and the love luck is very good! She winked playfully as she said this. Then he said: "This is only a potted plant, if you go to the cultivation base to see the large hyacinth flower field, you will be even more shocked." Seeing that she was interested in hyacinths, the proprietress of the flower shop was also interested and introduced it in detail.
"Oh, I really want to go and see it, the picture must be very spectacular." Ruan Jingshu flattened her mouth with great regret.
"That's easy, how about taking you with me next time I go to the flower garden?" The proprietress was amused by her expression and said.
"Really? That's great, hostess, be sure to call me when you go! Ruan Jingshu instructed eagerly, as if she was afraid that people would regret it.
"Well, it's not a big deal, don't worry!" The proprietress readily responded.
"Good...... I don't know your last name? Ruan Jingshu realized that after chatting with people for a long time, she even forgot to ask her name, and she was embarrassed to brush her ponytail.
"My name is Li Jing, I must be older than you, you can call me Sister Li or Sister Jing."
"Coincidentally, my name is Ruan Jingshu, and I also have the word Jing in my name, it's really fate!"
"Oh, really, you're ......"
Ruan Jingshu and Li Jing, the proprietress of the flower shop, hit it off at first sight, chatted for a long time, and finally exchanged phone numbers with each other. Before leaving, she bought a pot of fortune trees for her cousin as a congratulatory gift, and Sister Jing also promised to send it directly to the store. Of course, I didn't forget to buy a potted hyacinth plant for myself, and I asked Sister Jing for a few cultivation skills, so I ran to my cousin's newly opened supermarket with satisfaction.
######
It's been a week since the new store opened, and the business is not bad, and it seems that the publicity is quite in place. In particular, the response to the newly launched home delivery service has been much better than expected. With a simple phone call, everything you need will be delivered to your door, which is convenient and fast, and greatly saves time.
However, this also directly led to a sharp increase in their workload, which made them physically and mentally exhausted. It's time for her cousin to hire a few more people, she was thinking that Ma Huiyu had received another order over there.
"Well, well, okay, that's all, sir? Need anything else? Oh well, the address is ......" hung up the phone, and he went to pick up the items on the order.
Ruan Jingshu took the address and looked at it, and found that it was near her house, and she was about to get off work at the next time, so she said to Ma Huiyu: "Xiaoyu, I'll send it, it's not far from my house, and I happened to pass by there after work." ”
"Oh, well, be careful, then." Ma Huiyu handed her a bag of things and a sales receipt.
"Well, you take a break first, Xiao Lin will take over immediately."
“ok! Bye-bye~~ Sister Jing. ”
"Bye-bye!"
Ruan Jingshu came to the xxx community according to the address, explained her intention to the security guard, and let her go. xxx community in the city belongs to the high-end residential area, usually she really doesn't have much time to come, just take the opportunity of this delivery to watch and watch.
Dense jungle of low shrubs and flowering shrubs are planted in a staggered manner within the community. On the rockery is a retro-style octagonal pavilion. As far as the eye can see, there is a delicate wooden arch bridge in the distance. There was an open outdoor swimming pool at the end of the cobblestone path, which was a luxury, and she sighed with envy.
Seeing enough of the scenery, Ruan Jingshu walked towards Building 1088A as indicated in the address.
Get on the elevator and press the button to go straight to the top floor. The middle elevator stopped on the 13th floor, and a man dressed in black casual clothes and wearing a peaked cap came up. The body is thin but does not feel skinny, and the visual inspection is about 170. Because the brim of his hat was pressed very low, Ruan Jingshu couldn't guess his age. Suddenly, she felt an extremely gloomy gaze shoot at her, and she couldn't help but be shocked that the cold hair on her whole body stood upside down. Ruan Jingshu lowered her head nervously, subconsciously moved into the elevator, didn't dare to look up again, and prayed in her heart that the elevator would reach the top floor soon. Well, don't they all act like that on TV and movies, people who dress up like this are generally not good people. Fortunately, the strange man got off the elevator on the front floor of the top floor, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had scared herself.
"Ding." Finally reaching the top floor, she walked quickly down the elevator, came to the door on the right, and rang the doorbell after checking the house number. "Ding-dong, ding-dong." The doorbell rang a few times, and from the electronic cat's eye walkie-talkie, a low, deep, magnetic voice came, short and powerful: "Which one?" ”
Ruan Jingshu hurriedly said: "Hello, I am the delivery man of Yilaike Supermarket, sir, this is what you ordered just now." After a while, there was no sound in the room. Just when Ruan Jingshu thought that the other party didn't hear what she said, the door opened with a "click".
Ruan Jingshu was stunned for a moment, shrugged her shoulders absently, and was about to enter the house with a bunch of things. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of her neck, her eyes were black for a while, the door gradually tilted in her eyes, and she fell to the ground with a "bang". Before she lost consciousness, she faintly saw a touch of green, and finally froze on a pair of black military boots, completely unconscious.
