CHAPTER II. b e
In the evening, we found a small hotel.
Zhang Xin's eyes were a little unopen, her face was tired, she didn't say much to me, the only thing she repeatedly told me was not to run away from her, so she went to sleep in her room.
I sat on the edge of the bed with the bank card she gave me, and began to mutter, how much money is in this card?
If I have enough money, I might as well eat and have fun, and enjoy happiness with the inexplicable little girl, so that I feel like I'm a little white face, but at most, I'm eating soft rice, and Zhang Xin won't support me.
Thinking of this, I got up and went down to the bank downstairs of the small hotel to check the balance, and to my great disappointment, there were only about 5,000 yuan in it.
I sighed, took out my card, turned around and walked out of the bank.
The first time I walked out of the bank, I looked up vigilantly and glanced upstairs, just in time to see Zhang Xin's room window, the light was turned off, it was dark, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.
Back in my bed, I tried to recall something about myself, but I started to have a headache and had to give up.
The whole dream of the night was basically the voice lingering in my ears, "It's too late......
Even though I could say that I had nightmares all night, I slept soundly.
The next day, according to Zhang Xin, I only opened the door after knocking on the door for nearly ten minutes.
Zhang Xin's face looked much better than yesterday, and as she walked downstairs with me, she instructed: "Let's rent a store near here, and you have to stay in the store every day to take care of the business." ”
I nodded resignedly.
Soon, we rented a shop of less than 10 square meters next to a school.
When paying, Zhang Xin looked at me and said, "Go and withdraw the money, take out all the money." ”
I grinned, and said in my heart that I thought that the money from the bank card would belong to me, but I didn't know that it was still used for expenses, after all, the sender was under the fence, and I could only obey what I said.
Because I could only withdraw up to $2,000 at a time at the ATM, I had to withdraw money in installments.
When I withdrew money for the third time at the ATM, I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that someone was staring at me behind me, but when I looked back, the pedestrians were hurrying back and forth, probably because I was too sensitive, after all, there were also people with four figures.
When I returned to the store, Zhang Xin sat on a stool and blew a fan: "Hurry up, give me the money." ”
When all the money slipped out of my hands, I was a little reluctant.
Fortunately, Zhang Xin still has a conscience, so she drew three of them and gave them to me.
When I looked at her with grateful eyes, she was a little confused, and then added, "This is your salary for a month!" ”
What the? That's my salary? Dare I be the cheapest labor force in the developing world? 300 dollars as my monthly salary? I thought about quitting on the spot, I'm a normal adult, it's more cost-effective to go outside to move bricks and sweep the streets.
"Don't worry, no one will want you when you go out to work now." She continued, "You said that you are an older single young man with amnesia and no ID card, where do you want you? ”
I was instantly dumbfounded by what she said, and the reality seemed to me to be less pessimistic than she was, and probably not much better.
"You don't have to recall, it's not good for you, it's not wrong for you to listen to me." Zhang Xin's words revealed the depth that she shouldn't have at that age.
She was not wrong at all, and any attempt to recall it was just a pain in the face for me.
"You stay here, don't run around, I'll go buy something." After saying that, Zhang Xin left the store.
All morning, I sat alone on a rusty iron stool, facing a creaking old electric fan, and the picture was as bleak as that of a demented young man being left at home by his parents.
At noon, I finally couldn't sit still anymore and went to eat at the fast food restaurant on the left side of the store.
No matter how hard this boss picks, he won't let me eat, right?
When I opened the glass door, the cold air came in, and I realized that it was summer.
This is a Hong Kong-style restaurant, I didn't eat breakfast, I was already hungry, I touched my pocket, I found that the remaining 900 from yesterday was still on me, I couldn't help but order a glass of lemon juice and a barbecued pork rice like I won the jackpot.
Remembering that Zhang Xin didn't eat breakfast either, and now she was still shopping outside, I simply helped her pack a copy that was the same as mine.
After I gobbled it up, I returned to the store with the packaged fast food, and Zhang Xin sat in front of the fan and glared at me.
"I ...... I went to dinner, right next door, it's yours. "I felt embarrassed by myself, like a child who had made a mistake.
Zhang Xin took the bag from my hand and sat down in front of the fan to eat silently.
The noisy temperature was mixed with a hint of restlessness, and I sat in front of the shop with my head bowed, not knowing what I was thinking.
Not long after, a large truck stopped on the road in front of the store, and I looked up at the big truck.
The driver was a middle-aged man who looked about my age, wearing a pair of sunglasses and a sun hat on his head.
He walked up to me, bent down and asked, "Are you the owner of this shop?" ”
I shook my head and shouted to the store, "Zhang Xin, something has been delivered." ”
Zhang Xin didn't reply, and shouted impatiently: "Here, won't you help move it?" Or do you want me to move? ”
I stood up awkwardly, and the driver smiled: "You don't need to come, we have manpower." ”
The driver opened the back compartment, and two young men jumped out of the car, and another young man was in charge of getting things off the bus.
Seeing them busy in the shop, the driver pulled me to the side of the banyan tree and handed me a cigarette: "Are you married to her?" ”
I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs: "Look at my age, at most I can be considered an elderly laborer here." ”
The driver laughed, took off his sunglasses and said, "Don't say that, your thirties are still very young, you see, we are not about the same age." ”
I can see his face clearly, he looks much older than me, really.
I had to laugh, and the driver then asked, "What do you call it?" ”
When I was asked this question, I was confused all of a sudden, what to call it, and the funny thing was that I didn't know who I was, I didn't know how to answer, so I simply began to change the subject: "Which electronic city do you work for?" ”
He didn't answer directly, but pointed to his clothes.
I saw the word "Sun" on the chest of his blue overalls: "Sun Electronics City's?" ”
He nodded, smiled at me with his yellowed cigarette teeth, and went to the shop to get busy.
After nearly an hour of busy work, under the command of Zhang Xin, I cleaned the shop like new, and I wiped him clean with the old toothless fan.
Finally, the store was basically arranged, with two printers, two computers, and a computer chair, all of which Zhang Xin bought from the electronic city in the morning.
I was so tired that I panicked, and Zhang Xin sat alone in front of the fan, and I walked outside to feel the natural wind.
There was a click, and I looked ahead in confusion, what was the sound? I happened to see the truck driver in Electronic City grinning at me from the driver's seat.
I waved my hand, and the truck was off in the air.
"Come here, I'll teach you how to work." Zhang Xin shouted inside the store.
"Can you tell me my name before you teach me the workflow?" I sat on the iron stool opposite Zhang Xin and said.
Zhang Xin leaned back on the computer chair and stared at the screen, and replied casually: "You, you are called be, yes, this is the best for you." ”
I seem to be okay with any name, even if it's Zhang Ergou, Li Goudan, etc., the name seems to be just a code name for me, and it doesn't really mean anything.
Zhang Xin taught me some of the most basic workflows, which was not difficult, and I quickly became proficient.
In the evening, Zhang Xin took me around, and I didn't know what she had in mind.
"What? It's been so long? ”
Zhang Xin has always maintained her unique reserve, and it doesn't look like the same person as the Zhang Xin who took the initiative to talk to me in the library yesterday, and suddenly, I have the feeling that Zhang Xin took the initiative to know me for her own purpose, and now that she has tied me up, she no longer wants to ignore me, but more like she hates me from the bottom of her heart.
I can't remember what I offended her, maybe it was something from the past that I forgot.
Finally in front of a shopping mall, Zhang Xin asked me to go in together, I forgot the specific name, anyway, they all sell brand formal wear.
Walking into the store, Zhang Xin handed me a stack of red tickets: "Oh, pick some of your favorites, don't be dirty." ”
This flatters me, I'm a middle-aged print shop employee, I don't have to be so extravagant, right? Just buy a few stall goods, but after thinking about it, this is also her money anyway, she doesn't feel distressed, what else do I feel sorry for?
I simply bought a few darker clothes and pants, and then stood at the door of the mall and waited for Zhang Xin.
Within a minute, Zhang Xin walked out with two large bags, not ink at all.
"So where are we staying at night? Do you want to stay in a hotel again? I asked as I walked back.
Zhang Xin stuffed the bag in her hand into my hand and replied softly, "Just upstairs from the print shop, I rented two single rooms. ”
Zhang Xin is still very generous, but the question is, how can she have so much money? Could it be that she is a rich woman? Hehe, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this.
"Fool!" Zhang Xin scolded coldly and whispered.
I retracted my smile in embarrassment: "What do you mean by my name be?" ”
"It's not interesting." Zhang Xin quickened his pace and walked towards the print shop.
