Chapter Seventy-Four: The Hometown Hotel
Since the "singer" wants to take a break, then the "audience" of this grand theater listened to their music for a year next to the "singer", and they had a sore back and leg pain, and they should go home to rest, listen to the firecrackers in their hometown, and then come to this grand theater to "listen" to a new song.
As a result, the streets became rivers of cars, and the crowds pouring out of various construction sites, neighborhoods, and holes and eight nests flowed into the rivers of cars on these roads.
Department stores and even tobacco and liquor shops seem to have a desire to throw out the goods so that they can be cleaned, and these armies who have returned home for the New Year have become "porters" for these wishers, helping them to move them in large bundles and bundles.
A cry of "go home for the New Year" is an atmosphere of congratulatory New Year.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up is blowing on everyone's face here.
After Qian Liuzhi came out of a certain garment factory, she wiped away the tears of excitement when she was separated from Mei Zhen and the anger when she pushed with Tang Shi, she wanted to look for a new job with a high spirit, she wanted to put down all the scenes that happened before and go into battle easily. People say she's beautiful, she thinks she's beautiful because of her and Duolao's common ideals, everyone says she's beautiful, and she thinks she's beautiful today's choice.
The willow branches that move against the tide are looking for something to do when they go home for the New Year, and they should be called ignorant of current affairs. She scurried in the big streets and alleys from the morning to the sun, the city lights on, everything she saw from the wall on the job advertisement, she was willing to do, she followed the address on the above to walk, not to find the head, that is, after the eighth day of the first month, a quasi-recruitment, some construction sites like Tuoshan Middle School in the winter and summer vacations only left the empty shed. She can pick bricks on ten floors, is willing to carry a gray sand bucket on the scaffolding that seems a little swinging and walks acrobatically, can pick a load of firewood from the firewood of the double ox chong, all the hard work in this world is not a problem, as long as she can continue to have 400 yuan a month, can carry the doctor's hat of Duolao, can carry the real talent in his belly, she can come to be a female masonry, can be a cow with a grinding back, she can hold on until the wave of "return the bullet" rises in the sky. You can hold on until the phone hanging on your ear hears the other party's voice is relieved, even if she needs to do it until her gray hair is gray and her steps are faltering, this is really beautiful, so beautiful!
The aroma of food in the fast food restaurant penetrated her nostrils, among which the alluring and pleasant flavors of onion, garlic, ginger and hushu all hit at the same time, and a sign hung in front of her eyes: Hometown Restaurant. It doesn't indicate who it's from, but if you're a gringo, then this is the one you're from your foreigner's hometown.
Willow suddenly felt that her stomach could fit all the food in the store, and she remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch today. Although the signboard does not write which people's hometowns are, it is noted: 4 yuan to eat enough, 5 yuan to eat well. My aunt and grandmother only need to eat enough now, but the question is whether you have enough food here for me to eat.
Liu Zhi quickly took out a piece of Ma Dawu and handed it to the clerk who was both the cashier and the clerk who loaded the food and vegetables, and the female "several clerks" took her five yuan, while inserting it into the pocket of her chest, and quickly came out of her mouth two simple and clear words: "How many yuan"?
"Four-piece".
The hands and feet of the female staff were so fast that the "four yuan" had not yet rhymed, and the dollar that should be found for the willow branch reached out to her hand, picked up the plate with one hand and the scoop with the other, and asked the guest: "What kind of dishes"?
In fact, asking is just a kind of politeness, the vegetable scoop has scooped up a scoop of cabbage, so skillful that he doesn't need to look at the plate in his hand, but his eyes are glancing at the guest, meaning: What two dishes do you want? Say it, or I'll help you decide.
Willow Branch immediately rushed to say, "Come as spicy as you can!" ”
The last moment of the vegetable scoop really scooped in the compartment containing the peppers. The plate stretched out to the chest of the willow branch, and I heard the words of a few people in the air: "If you don't have any rice, you can scoop it yourself", while pointing to the rice bucket on the side, the meaning of this is again: The rice can be added, but the dishes are all here.
There is a reason for her: if you meet a big man "fellow", he eats a chicken and can swallow a goose, then the shopkeeper "fellow" is not a loss? If you eat up this bucket of rice, you won't lose much money.
Willow Zhi devoured as she gobbled up the furnishings throughout the store, because her heart was also empty. There are four tables inside, and there are also four tables under the eaves outside, and the four tables outside are stacked on top of each other for every two tables, apparently because the air currents of the New Year have swept away the customers here and made it idle. There is also a small shelving in it, which is obviously a place to sleep. Liu Zhi suddenly laughed, I came to eat, not to buy this shop, I really have an empty heart to take care of things.
The day before yesterday, she kept 20 yuan for her own pocket money, and most of the rest was mailed to her mother, which is her distribution plan in the past few months.
Today she didn't buy water to drink, and she didn't smoke, just now by these "several members" quickly "robbed" 4 yuan, and there was a total of 16 yuan on her body, if she stayed in a hotel at night, she knew that even if she slept on the same bed as a certain garment factory, she didn't protect you from losing things, and second, she didn't guarantee that you slept until midnight and your clothes were taken off, and third, you didn't guarantee that you wouldn't even take people and horses The third-class bed of the hotel that was carried away was also 10 yuan a night, 16 minus 10, equal to 6, is the result that Wang Heng may also calculate correctly.
Tomorrow I plan to eat only one meal, 4 yuan, which means that if I can't find something tomorrow, I will have to sleep in the poem "The earth is the bed, the blue sky is the tent" tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow I can only come to "wild vegetables", and here is so many bulldozers, the wild vegetables are gone. So she decided to enjoy the earth as a bed and the blue sky as a tent in advance, find a place where no one is there at night to lie down, and insist on one meal a day in the future, so that she can maintain a 4-day search period.
Going home for the New Year is wrong for her, regardless of the round-trip fatigue, more than 200 yuan of travel expenses, this is a major consumption, she is different from others, people came out to do it for a year, she is only half a year, people have to spend the years here to here, she has to find it again, rather than spend a lot of money still to find, it is better not to spend immediately to find much stronger, and the situation is a day earlier "employment", a day earlier to get a salary, post-to-work to go, brick by brick to their ideal building, this is absolutely correct.
She has already added a meal, because she will not be able to meet again at noon tomorrow, she wants to add a scoop, and she feels embarrassed, she is afraid that several people will roll her eyes, if she meets ten such "young ladies" in a day, then her fast food restaurant will be open in vain this day. But, I'm sorry, my plan is to have a total of four meals in the next four days, if you don't eat desperately, how can you get by for these four days, is your profit now important, or my life is important? She got up and walked over to the rice bucket, her eyes were divided between the time of scooping the rice and glancing at the top of the several members, and she found that several of them were very generous and did not look at her.
Willow Branch walked out of the fast-food restaurant with her belly, the biggest swelling in more than 18 years, and the task was how to pass the night. If she was allowed to spend the night, on the condition that she could only stand, she would have jumped for joy, but this was a hypothesis, and a hypothesis did not equal a fact, and she could only walk forward, and walk and see, like scum on water.
You can't sleep on the road, even if you're not afraid of turning into meat sauce, the police will arrest you; If you can't sleep under the eaves, people will tie you up regardless of the situation, especially if there is a bank nearby...... Willow Branch was thinking, many places were not suitable, and finally she thought that the whole thing was to be "in the lamplight".
So she searched for the place where the black light was blinding, and through several places, she found a large black patch in the world of lights, so she walked towards the "patch".
In front of the swarthy ground seemed to be a hill that was being removed with a bulldozer, and when you touched the ground with your hands, you could clearly feel the tooth marks from the pressure of the tracks, and such places were often where the pusher, excavator, and transport plane worked together.
She had also visited a certain site when she was in a garment factory, and it was enough to frighten people to death, and she saw that on the tender red earthen wall, there were many graves dug out by excavators, and a large mouth was opened, and there were skeletons lying in it, and the holes in the eyes, nose, and mouth were cut into the bone tube like a sand jar, and the chest cavity was like a cage woven with blocks, and the bones of the feet and hands were neatly arranged, and the human form of a supine man was suddenly revealed.
At this time, Willow Branch, her feet jumped up, as if she was stepping on such a skeleton, and how indifferent it was, creepy, and cold sweat.
What's even worse is that she seems to hear someone talking on the side, and suddenly turns to the back of her, and the distance seems to be echoing, all sneaky, all calculating her, her throat suddenly hurts, as if her neck is pinched.
She decided to choose a drier place to sit for a while, because her body was too sleepy and sweaty, and her heart might jump out and fall to the ground.
First of all, it is the feeling of the feet, and then it is the feeling of sitting down, and I feel that this place is indeed relatively dry, and the dry place must have received a lot of sunshine and wind. She put down two 'sails' and one 'book' for all her travels, and set up camp here tonight.
She subconsciously reached into her pocket and pinched 16 yuan, which is not a fast food restaurant.
She sat down on one of the canvas bags, to calm her heart and bold, even if a few skeletons were resurrected, she could only tell them about her current situation, all in all, this place was her first choice for the night today, and it was the place where she had to be. Even if it rains, she'll spend the night here.
The lights are dim, in the dead of night, it is often the time to miss relatives, and it is the clearest picture, the time when the conversation is still in the ear, and the willow branch has a person who hangs on her heart for 24 hours, and now, she wants to talk to him, so that Duolao will sit with her, she is not afraid of anything, and the surroundings are calm, and even cordial.
