I thought I'd better go home for dinner, so I said, "What kind of hot pot do you eat on a hot day?" ”

Lele called out next to him: "Hot pot, okay, I want to eat hot pot." ”

"Uh-huh~" No. 5 obviously heard it, and the voice of who called Lele was too loud.

"Okay, go eat." So I told us how many buses we were on and asked No. 5 to arrange a drop-off location.

This hot pot restaurant is mainly because the sauce is delicious, and other shops, a bowl of seasoning costs four or five yuan, at least three yuan, all of which are free. Go to the bar by yourself, self-service dressing, more than a dozen kinds of seasonings are lined up, and there are five or six kinds of black and white sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, coriander and other ingredients. The beef sauce is my favorite, the sauce is full of real minced beef, and then sprinkled with fried sesame seeds, no need to eat hot pot, it is also very delicious to eat like this, and it tastes better on top of some spicy sand tea sauce. Lele also likes it, but likes not to put sesame seeds and spicy ones.

Seeing that I came back with a bowl of beef sauce, sprinkled with five or six spoonfuls of sesame seeds, and where was the seasoning dipped in hot pot, No. 5 laughed: "Do you eat hot pot or beef sauce?" ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's delicious." I looked at what No. 5 was holding, and it was peanut fermented bean curd drizzled with some chili oil: "Do you want to try my kind of this?" ”

"Okay!" No. 5 directly took the chopsticks and dug a little in my bowl to eat: "Well, it tastes really good, it's like eating minced beef in a small package outside, you can really eat it." ”

"Me too!" Lele picked up her bowl: "Mine is not spicy." ”

"Why don't you add sesame seeds?" Question Five?

Lele thought for a while and said, "I don't want a small sesame seed to sprout in my stomach." ”

The child's imagination is rich, and the sesame seeds sprout in the stomach, which is about the only child to say, and the fifth immediately laughed.

There is a lot of air conditioning here, and I don't feel hot at all while eating hot pot. In fact, children don't eat much when eating hot pot, and their favorite thing is to throw all kinds of ingredients into the pot. So I chatted with No. 5, and Lele threw mutton and vegetables into it for a while, and we fished it out then.

The fifth said to me, "Why don't you take a day off on Tuesday or Wednesday?" It happened to be a cloudy day for those two days, so I accompanied Lele to the beach. ”

"Beach, beach!" Lele was happy again.

In the past few days, I have been buying a house again, and I am sorting things before renting, and I originally said that I would go to the beach to play, but I also resigned.

I'm thinking about it, after all, there are still a lot of things to do in the next few days: "I'm on leave again, I've taken three days off in the past few days." ”

"It's only been three days, have you used up all your annual leave?" Number Five looked at me: "Or did you never know there was an annual leave?" ”

"I know, but I don't think it's necessary. Sometimes Lele is sick, and he will take a period of time, half a day a day. "I've been like this since I was a child, when I was sick when I went to school, and when I was at work, I didn't ask for leave if I could.

"You've been working for over twenty years and can get at least fifteen days of paid leave a year, so why not? Judging the value of an employee is not whether he asks for leave or not, but the profit and value he creates. The fifth was very strange, and then gave a result: "Take a day off on Tuesday, go to the beach together, and school will start soon." ”

Lele pouted, and he didn't know where he learned to be so cute: "Go, go......"

"Okay." I only agreed, the fifth is right, take Lele to have a good time before the start of school, even if I don't ask for leave, I am not a good employee.

"Okay~" Lele jumped happily.

The hot pot was so full, I ate three bowls of that beef sauce, this is not because it is free, but to save money for No. 5, it is indeed delicious. No. 5 also scooped a bowl to eat, and Lele, who had a small amount of rice, also ate most of the bowl by himself.

The induction cooker under the pot was turned off, and we sat there drinking tea to digest our food.

"Where did you buy your house?" Number Five asked.

"It's out of town, and I can't afford a house in this city." I don't think there's any need to brag, with a monthly income of 200,000 yuan on the fifth number, why should he buy a house with only five months' salary and boast.

"Why buy it? It's far away for you, and it's not convenient to go back and forth. Number Five asked.

So I told my thoughts, and waited for the fifth to say that I was asking for my own hardships, that there was so much good reliance around me that I didn't want to stammer, but I went to buy a house, that the house I originally lived in was going to be rented out, and that I was crammed into a smaller house with my parents, and I was nervous.

No. 5 looked at me, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "It seems that you don't trust men anymore, in fact, this is very good, if a woman is independent, even if she earns less, as long as she can support herself, she is also very attractive." What's more, it's not easy for you, a low-income worker, to think of a suite. ”

It's really not easy, in fact, I still have to thank this period for seeing how big the gap between me and others is, which stimulates me deeply. Otherwise, even if I went to the crematorium, I would not have thought of buying a house.

The words of the fifth are still very useful, and they should be praising me.

No. 5 picked up the cup and took a sip, thinking for a moment: "If the house can give you a sense of security, it seems that I will also save some money and buy another set when I get married." It's good in the field, but I can't afford to buy a house in the city. ”

I can't afford it with a monthly income of 200,000 yuan, I really don't know who can afford it. But I didn't expose it, after all, No. 5 didn't explain to me how much he earned, and No. 2 revealed it to me. Even if the fifth has a high income, earns more, and uses it more. Like other high-income people, their clothes, cars, friends and meals are all a lot of expenses.

From this sentence, I can hear that the fifth is considering marrying me. Earth men are different from these aliens, aliens generally don't fool people, and humans, after they get their hands on it, they want to throw it away, and what they say at the time is all fart.

I just smiled and picked up my cup and drank my tea, pretending not to hear it. Even if the aliens say something more reliable than the earthlings, they still listen to it and don't have to take it seriously. Sometimes the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and it is better to fail if there is no extravagant hope.

After eating, the fifth drove by, stopped again, and walked into a bakery. When he came out, he carried two bags of bread.

He didn't put the bread in the trunk, but directly in the back seat, next to Lele.

"What?" Lele pretended to be curious, but in fact, he just wanted to eat, and the smell of bread had already spread in the car.

"Take one of the bread you want." No. 5 turned around and fastened the safety belt: "The bread here is said to be very famous, but it's a pity that I went too late today, and there is no butter and red bean buns, so I have to wait for the next time to buy it." ”

Although No. 5 seemed to want to eat and bought it, and brought me a bag by the way, I knew that he actually wanted to buy it for me more than not.

For a while, I didn't know how to be grateful, and if I didn't have to break the bank, it would seem raw. Five bought me things in a way that I could accept. In fact, what women want is really a bag, I would rather get the bread of No. 5 in this life than ask for a bag from other men.

I opened my bag and took out a small thing from it, which I had ordered online the other day: "Can I put some knick-knacks in this car?" ”

"Yes, as long as it doesn't obstruct the view and complies with local traffic laws."

As soon as the fifth finished speaking, I opened the simple outer packaging box and took out a small knick-knack from the inside. It is an all-plastic, small flower in a flower pot, with a green flower pot, white petals, and a pink flower core in the middle with a smiling face. After removing the opening seal and placing it, the little flower began to shake, and the flower shook like a little head, and the two green leaves on the left and right also shook together, like two little hands.

No. 5, who was driving, took the time to look at it: "It's fun, thank you, I like it." ”

Actually, this thing is very cheap, and I would like to thank No. 5: "If you plan to buy a car fragrance, I'm afraid you don't like the fragrance." When I saw this, I thought it was fun, so I bought it. ”

"It's still good, the car is full of fragrance, I can't stand it. A lot of cars are loaded, the smell is too strong, the smell is not good, all artificial additives. "Number Five indicates a preference for this.

"Wow, it's fun, I want it too." Lele, who was nibbling on bread, stuck his head over and talked nonsense without understanding anything.

I immediately turned my head and glared at her, "I'll go buy you a pink one again." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, even if she asks for this, I won't give it, just put it here, it's good, reduce work pressure." Number Five really knows my heart. If No. 5 says it's okay to give this to Lele, then I'm not making an embarrassment, as if I gave a child's gadget to No. 5, which is insincere.

Hearing this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Lele, what should I do, I didn't open my mind at all, okay, I also opened my mind late, since the divorce, I slowly woke up from the chaos, and now I still haven't understood a lot of things. Life is still long, let's realize it slowly.

When I arrived at the door, No. 5 sat in the car and asked, "Do you want me to help you clean up?" Or I'll call someone from the bureau to come over. ”

If there is one more person, it will be much faster. And the group of people in the immigration bureau, I have also witnessed the efficiency of their work, and they can restore the unrecognizable pit to its original appearance in one night. It is not a piece of cake to be able to clean up a huge monster in just one or two hours, and moving.

But I still didn't want others to help, so I deliberately joked: "I can't afford to hire you, a professional cleaning team, doing the things of a moving company, it's like killing chickens with a knife, let's clean up by myself." Besides, there are a lot of personal belongings, which is not very convenient. I also took advantage of this opportunity to throw it away. ”

"Okay, call me when you need it, don't be too tired, I'll buy you a new one later." In fact, whether to help or not, to buy new ones, it is enough to have these words.

Carrying the bag of bread that Lele had eaten, I returned home, and when I heard the car start on the fifth and leave, I began to busy my own business.

After taking a shower, Lele sat on the bed, flipping through the books, while I dragged out boxes of things from under the bed and continued to tidy up.

"Mom, I want that flower too." Lele said.

As soon as I mentioned this flower, I became angry, when will this stupid girl be sensible? I almost didn't get off the stage just now, but fortunately, No. 5 is an understanding person. But is it useful to talk and scold, this guy hasn't opened his mind at all.

So I held back my anger: "In the future, if I give something to others, you can't just say you want it on the spot." ”

Sure enough, Lele asked, "Why?" I like it. ”

Continue to hold back your anger and follow the temptation: "If you say yes, then mom will give it to you or to someone else?" If you give it to someone else, it's already someone else's thing, and if you ask someone to get it back. You sent something and you want to come back, right? ”

"Oh~" Lele seemed to understand a little: "But what I gave to my classmates, sometimes I can still want to come back." ”

That's just the ignorant and generous.,If you want to go back, you have to go back.,I don't care anyway...... Forget it, I can't communicate with the little kid, and if I want to explain it, it will take about a night. I can't say for sure, I understand it today, I forget it tomorrow, and it's like saying it in vain.

I could only say fiercely: "Anyway, remember, when your mother gives someone something, you can't say you like it, you can't ask for it." If you really want it, come back and tell your mother, and your mother will consider buying it for you, do you know? ”

"Oh!" Lele looked at the book and responded casually. It seems that she didn't listen to it, forget it, she will slowly understand when she grows up, and life will teach her everything. I wasn't stupid before, but a scumbag can improve my IQ and finally open up a little.

In fact, those women who have been stupid all their lives have the best life. The reason why they don't have emotional intelligence is that they don't need to use their brains and guess what the other person thinks, because their lives are quite stable. If I have an ex who doesn't give me small shoes to wear and doesn't think about ways to divorce all day long, I am the same, and continue to live a carefree life, the only thing I have to think about is how to take four or five thousand yuan of money to spend, so that my life can not be so shabby, and I can still have a little balance in the bank every month.

Open the boxes one by one, see what they are, pile up the unwanted ones aside, and prepare to throw them away; If you need it, reseal it and put it on the other side and take it to your mother's house when the time comes.

After opening a box, I let out a long sigh, this box is a bit special, it is a wedding photo from the past.

At that time, there was no wine, and the money was used to pay for the down payment of the house, so I bought a box of candy and sent a colleague, and I took this set of wedding photos.

I sealed the box again, afraid to look at me, who had been very young. Even though I was almost 30 years old when I got married, the makeup artist still said that I was quite young. I still vividly remember what she said at the time: "The bride-to-be who comes here to take pictures, if she is not five or six years younger than the groom, will look more mature than the man after putting on makeup." And you are very rare, the same age as the groom, and you still look younger than him, how do you maintain it? ”

Now that I'm forty years old, many people still say I look younger than I really are. In fact, I don't have any maintenance, life doesn't let me have more money to buy those very expensive skin care products, except for genes, I can only say that God is fair, didn't give me a good husband, but gave me more youth time.

Even if I look young, I'm already a human being, and the fifth may be my best choice, and if I miss the five, maybe I won't have a chance again.

Looking at the packed boxes, I wondered where to put them. (To be continued.) )
