Chapter 28: Work vs. Friendship
I kept leaning against the door panel, not daring to move at will, and found that my body was a little stiff. I took advantage of Wang Man's lack of "looking" at me, and slowly moved sideways to the dining table on the side. I sat facing Wang Man, and suddenly realized that the room was not as cold and piercing as when she appeared in the pastβdid this mean that her resentment was gone, or was it ...... She's dying?
I secretly denied my speculation, and said nervously, "I saw your parents today......
As soon as Wang Man heard this, he looked at me with two bottomless black eyes, and his stiff face twitched a little.
"They're a lot haggard, especially your mother, and you don't want them to be so sad for you, do you?" I wanted to persuade her to let go of her hatred and continue: "If they knew that you would have to go through so much pain after death, they would not be relieved......"
Wang Man lowered her head, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, I think she was a little shaken, and finally said: "Wang Man, put it down!" β
Wang Man didn't answer me clearly, and after a long time, before she disappeared, I seemed to hear her say "thank you". Last night I fell asleep on the dining table in a daze, and I slept soundly for the first time. When I woke up in the morning, I received a text message from Zhang Wenbin: You tell her that I will definitely keep my promise!
I didn't investigate what Zhang Wenbin said about the promise, why did he say this, and let some things pass!
I was about to go out for breakfast, and when I stuffed my phone in my bag, I picked up the brass bell on the bedside table. When I was still living in Du's house, I found it in the pocket of my coat, and as the old lady said, the copper bell really came back by itself! Hey, Mom doesn't have to worry about losing things anymore!
Every time I see the copper bell waiting quietly, it feels like a person is waiting for something - waiting for me to discover? I smiled self-deprecatingly, put it in my bag, and went out the door.
"Put the fluorescent ones on the display table, and replace the bags that have just arrived......"
When I entered the store, Xiao Damei was unpacking and stacking goods. I'm a lazy person, I usually don't like to pamper myself very much, but Xiao Ting always puts on some light makeup, she looks a lot better today, and she still looks bright and moving.
"Here, you sit down first...... Xiao Fang, I'll get this, you send Boss Li's goods first! β
Seeing Xiao Ting busy there alone, I politely asked, "Boss Xiao, do you want me to help?" β
"It's almost summer vacation, do you know how messy I am...... I'm going to go out and stock up on new goods and come back, so stay and help me if you're really fine! Xiao Ting complained.
"You say I'm your superhero ......"
I was about to answer, but my phone rang and it showed a local landline number.
"Hello, is this Miss Lin Shan?"
"Ah, yes!"
"I'm here Ruixing Magazine, you submitted your resume to our agency a week ago, do you have time now?"
Sharp Star? I hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm having something wrong right now!" β
"Oh, sorry to interrupt, if you want, come to our office next Wednesday for an interview!"
"Okay, thank you!"
As soon as I hung up the phone, Xiao Ting came over with a few clothes and asked, "Do you think long pants look good with this, or do you look good with this?" β
I looked at it seriously and replied, "All right!" β
Xiao Ting said with a disgusted face: "Yes, when I ask in vain!" β
Ruixing is also a little famous in the city, and working in a magazine may be more suitable for me than doing business. If it had been two weeks ago, I would have said yes without hesitation, but now, I'm a little hesitant.
"How?" Xiao Ting walked over and sat down.
I smiled wryly and said, "It's calm for the time being!" β
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Ting asked, "Do you want to move in with me?" β
I looked at her in surprise: "You're not afraid of being affected?" β
"I'm afraid! Of course I'm afraid! Xiao Ting said with palpitations: "However, at least I can't see or hear, how can I be like you, so decrepit!" I'm afraid that one day you'll be scared crazy by yourself, and no one will know what happened! β
I held Xiao Ting's hands: "Ting, thank you, you are so good!" β
Xiao Ting took out a hand and patted the back of my hand: "Okay, don't be sour!" You come to live with me, and by the way, help me take care of this shop, I'll be more relaxed! β
I decided to give up the opportunity to be in the magazine, after all, I was willing to accompany a hellish person, and this kind of camaraderie is not something anyone can have. Xiao Ting is going to the field tomorrow, I contacted the landlord to check out in the afternoon, and I didn't have much personal luggage, so I moved over in the evening. At noon the next day, I was in the store, and Xue Chen called me to take time to go to Du's house.
The mall closed at half past five, so I closed the door and went straight to Du's house. Before Xue Chen came, I accompanied Xiaohu to do his homework in the yard.
"Lin Shan, Xiaohu, it's time to eat!"
"Come on!" Xiaohu replied.
"Let's go, I'll write this question after eating!"
At the dinner table, except for me and Xiaohu, there were only three old people, and it seemed that they had never heard them mention Xiaohu's parents.
Mrs. Du took the vegetables and sent them to my bowl, and said with feeling: "Alas, you have lost some weight again!" β
"I know, she's losing weight, and the girls in my class love to lose weight except for Xiaoqin!" Xiaohu said loudly.
I asked Xiaohu with a smile: "Then why doesn't Xiaoqin like to lose weight?" β
"She's fat! She ate more than I did at noon today! Xiaohu looked unhappy.
The old lady said meaningfully: "People are thin and weak, so they should eat more!" β
I didn't make any more noise, buried my head in eating, and when the meal was almost finished, Xiaohu said restlessly: "Why didn't Brother Chen come?" β
When I saw Xiaohu staring at me, I replied, "It's coming soon!" β
"Oh!" Xiaohu took a bite of rice and asked vaguely, "Are you Brother Chen's girlfriend?" β
I choked on a mouthful of food, shook my head and said, "No! β
Xiaohu swallowed his meal and asked, "Why didn't that beautiful sister come last time?" β
Du Lao, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and said: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking!" β
I thought that Xiaohu must be obedient and silent, but I saw him quickly put the rice in the bowl into his mouth, swallowed it and opened his mouth wide to Du Lao: "Ah-grandpa, I'm done eating, I can speak!" β
I put away the dishes and chopsticks I was with, got up and walked to the kitchen, urging me, "Xiaohu go wipe his mouth first and continue to do his homework!" β
"Oh!" Xiaohu responded angrily.
After a while, Xue Chen came, carrying a big bag in his hand. Xiaohu, who was writing his homework, immediately put down his pen, took out a test paper from his schoolbag, and ran towards Xue Chen, who had just entered the door: "Brother Chen, look! β
Xue Chen took the test paper and looked at it as he walked: "Well, this time I did a good job!" β
"Then will you take me to Fangte to play?"
Xue Chen folded the roll and returned it to Xiaohu, touched his head and said, "Okay, you finish your homework first, and I'll take you there tomorrow!" β
Xiaohu excitedly returned to the flower bed to continue to do his homework, I got up and walked to Xue Chen, and asked, "Have you got the key?" β
"Hmm!" Xue Chen raised the bag, "Come into the house and say!" β
