Twenty-first
What is marriage? Is it Qian Lao's "Siege", or the tomb of the living dead where Xiaolongnu lives? Or a large miscellaneous courtyard, arguing over trivial matters every day. Mei Ying didn't know, she had no bottom in her heart, on the way to pursue love, she had burnout and exhaustion beyond her age, and she was unwilling to accept her fate at the same time. She even imagined that Leng Xu would appear in her life again one day, as long as he still liked her and wanted her, she would follow him without hesitation and join hands with him.
Mei Ying, who has always hated cumbersomeness, was confused by a series of preparations before marriage, she wanted to give up, but she couldn't muster the courage, she knew very well that the ink in her stomach and the diploma that even she couldn't agree with, she couldn't find such an idle job anymore, her parents were still early to retire, and her sister also changed to a better job because of Zhou Kai's father's help. She can't repay virtue with resentment, Zhou Kai's face is gradually getting used to it, isn't there plastic surgery now, just let him retouch and beautify it in the future. As for giving birth, if she doesn't give birth, how can her mother force her, anyway, she will move out in the future, and if there is less time to meet, the dispute will disappear.
Today, I have to go to the fourth floor to find the leader to stamp the marriage application, and I am unhappy again, because the company is a subordinate unit of Zhou Kai's parents, she is not used to those flattering faces and flattering words, at that moment, she herself seems to have become a person who climbs power.
casually walked into the office of the personnel department, holding the marriage application in his hand to find the director of the personnel department to stamp, the office was very quiet, only a girl was sorting out the copywriting on the desk in the back. Mei Ying walked over, and the girl looked up at the sound of footsteps.
"Mei Ying, it's really you, I just heard that you also work here." Wang Yanling looked at her with a smile.
Wang Yanling? Why did she cut her hair short, less lively and pretty than before, but a little more capable and steady. She actually sat in the office, and she used to be a bunk bed with her, so could it be that she would be trampled under her feet in the future?
"Yan Ling, do you also work here? I don't know at all. Although things have passed and the time on campus is no more, Yan Ling is a head taller than her wherever she goes. Mei Ying worked as a salesperson in the hypermarket on the first floor, and Yan Ling sat in the office as soon as she came. A person's fate is always inseparable from her family background, but she still doesn't envy her, but Yan Ling's sincere friendship with her in the past has also been ignored by her again and again.
"Mei Ying, it's really not interesting, I don't want to notify you if I want to marry Zhou Kai, I just heard my dad say that Uncle Zhou's family is going to have a happy event a few days ago, and the new daughter-in-law is still my alumnus, I didn't expect him to marry you. His parents and my father are in the same unit, their family only moved to our compound the year before last, I heard that he graduated from Peking University, you can do it, except for the handsome guy is a talent, I have always thought you are very attractive, I didn't expect you to be so charming. ”
Mei Ying didn't leave the address of Yan Ling's house, and today I learned that her home and Zhou Kai's house were a compound, and it seems that some fate is destined to continue, but it's okay, life after marriage is inevitably boring, and there will always be trouble under the same roof with Zhou Kai, and it's not bad to go to Yan Ling's house when you are upset in the future.
"What kind of charm do I have, I haven't seen you for almost a year, you are still so beautiful, and your hair is cut but you are more energetic. I'm still the same way I used to be, and I haven't lost weight at all. Yan Ling, sit in the office, yes, I heard that there is going to be a deputy director, it won't be you, right? ”
"What are you kidding, how can I sit in that position, now I am a secretary to the director, to put it bluntly, it is a dozen, I also want to go to the store on the first floor, but my mother won't let me go. As soon as I came yesterday and heard that you were here too, do you know how happy I am? When I first came to work, it was not good to hang around, and I was thinking about going to Zhou Kai's house to find you at night. Yesterday from their downstairs, the decoration is very quiet, it seems that the money has been paid. ”
"Alas, don't talk about this, I'll call a few friends in the cabinet in the evening, let's have a meal together, and then go to the dance hall to dance, and relive the joy when I danced in the big slab building, what's up?"
In the two years of college, without Yan Ling's help, Mei Ying estimated that she would not even be able to get a graduation certificate, although the invigilation was not strict, but someone had to copy it for her, and she was still grateful to Yan Ling in her heart, but when she thought of the disparity in identity, the only trace of gratitude disappeared. Now it's okay, they can go in and out together in the future, once there is not too much disparity in status, Mei Ying seems to have regained the sense of superiority when she came to this building to report.
"Mei Ying, are you looking for the director, he went to a meeting, I'll tell him for you in a while, I'll go to you after work, see you or leave."
Hand the application to Yan Ling and walked out of the office slowly, Mei Ying was still happy in her heart, there was someone to help her, and she didn't have to worry about the next thing personally, if there was any trouble in the company in the future, Yan Ling would be the first to tell her. Yan Ling's father's official position should be higher, I heard that her mother is also the director of the Women's Federation, no wonder every time I go to Zhou Kai's house, I will always see a few very chic houses behind the garden, Yan Ling's house should be there, and Zhou Kai's family lives in the newly built staff building of the Price Bureau, saying that it is a staff building, but all the people living in it are officials, every room is spacious and bright, and after simple decoration, this three-bedroom and one-hall room is more than twice as big as Mei Ying's house. It seems that it is better to be an official, enjoying treatment that is better than ordinary people, and can also benefit his children.
Standing at the counter and thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that he didn't care about Yan Ling's life's events, hey, forget it, since no one said it, it's not good to ask more. Mei Ying has long said that long-distance relationships are inevitably inseparable from Lao Yan's separation, and not everyone has the good fortune of Sister Dan. Besides, Yan Ling's boyfriend has an average family background, and her family will not agree to it, in the past, the two of them would occasionally chat, she knew that Yan Ling's parents would ask her to find the right person. If Zhou Kai was not her boyfriend, she would have liked to introduce Yan Ling, although Zhou Kai's father's official position was lower, Zhou Kai's Peking University title still attracted the attention of many people, but Yan Ling definitely didn't look down on Zhou Kai.
Mei Ying feels that she is a weirdo, a man who is about to become her husband, but she still wants to push it to others, which is really unreasonable.
"Mei Ying, you won't get off work so early, or I'll wait for you in the office." Yan Ling stood in front of her with her bag, she was already off work.
There is no way, the administrative staff always enjoy more and better treatment than those at the bottom of them, and the employees of Meiying and their stores always can't leave until after nine o'clock.
"Yan Ling, if you're hungry, go eat first, and I'll look for you later."
"It's okay, I'll come down at half past eight to help you clean up together, I haven't seen you for so long, what's there later." Yan Ling took the elevator upstairs again, and Mei Ying called Xu Ran over.
"Ranran, aren't Li Li and Wang Yang taking turns off today, you are now riding a bicycle to inform them that they will have dinner together in the evening, and those who have eaten will also come. It was my former alumni who spoke to me just now, or was it me on the upper bunk, we haven't seen each other for a year, let's go to Lele together in the evening, how about it? ”
"Sister Mei, you're having a treat again, we're all embarrassed, or I'll invite you this time, you see that you're going to get married and decorate a house, keep your money."
"What are you talking about, I don't have the habit of saving money, those things are what Zhou Kai's family should worry about, and I don't spend a penny. You don't want the money you give you every month, it's better to spend it to make me feel more at ease. ”
"Okay, okay, follow the arrangement of Leader Mei, let's call them, I won't be here in a while, go and occupy the position early, and then give you the dishes, needless to say, it's your alley again, a few of them are addicted, it's all your fault." As soon as Xu Ran's voice fell, there was no one who lived in this city who was not greedy, the spicy hot taste opened by Granny Li at the mouth of the alley was really not ostentatious, just looking at the various spices on those plates, I would unconsciously swallow my saliva, not to mention the spicy and fragrant in the pot.
