Chapter 182: Neighbors
As soon as Tang Meng left, Ai Le fell asleep after a long time, he was really tired after a day, and when he was sleeping in a daze, there was a knock on the door, Ai Le thought that Tang Meng forgot to bring the key and didn't think much about it, so he wore a big pants and went to open the door shirtless, it is summer, and it is hot and stuffy in this small house, not to mention the air conditioner, there is not even a fan, and Ai Le will not wear too much when he sleeps.
After saying that he didn't have the habit of sleeping and wearing pajamas, when he was at home, it was a boxer, and now there is Tang Meng, Ai Le is embarrassed to wear a boxer, and he wears a big one outside, Tang Meng will not care, when he was in the people's restaurant, he washed every morning and dressed like this, a group of girls don't care at all, with their unrestrained degree, Ai Le feels that they don't wear anything out, they won't make a fuss, maybe they have to come up to tease themselves.
Ai Le rubbed his eyes and opened the door, as soon as the door opened, there was a girl's scream of "oops" outside, which startled Ai Le and completely sobered up, only to find that there were two girls standing outside, all of whom were flushed at this time, looking embarrassed.
Ai Le only scratches his head when he sees them like this, as for it? What age is this, and it's not ancient, the streets are full of shirtless old and young masters in summer, as for the reaction, is it so big?
The two girls are a little taller, one is a little shorter, one has a round face, and one has a melon seed face, all of them are very green, and they are just out of school, they are really not startled by the shirtless Ai Le, but the landlady told them that there is a girl living here, and there is no mention of Ai Le's stubble, and the two girls are here to greet the neighbors. Who wants to suddenly pop up an Elle. Still shirtless.
I was taken aback. It is also because of the tendon meat on Ai Le's body, his previous figure was not as good as it is now, although he was not fat before, but he definitely did not have six-pack abs, as soon as he sat down, he had an abdominal muscle on his stomach, and he could use sword intent and sword qi to cast the flesh The muscles on his body are angular and very symmetrical, and the lethality to women is definitely quite large.
The melon-faced girls with their respective heights were the first to react and smiled awkwardly: "Big brother, I'm sorry, we went to the wrong door." Then he turned around and pulled the short girl away. A small heart was beating wildly, it was the first time she had been in close contact with a man with such a good figure when she was so big, a little nervous, a little excited, and her head was full of the six-pack abs in Elle's abdomen.
It just so happened that Tang Meng came back with the dishes at this time, and the tall girl listened to the landlord's aunt briefly describe Tang Meng's appearance, and immediately recognized the real person as soon as she saw it, and stepped forward and smiled: "You are Sister Tang Mengtang, right?" ”
Tang Meng didn't know these two girls, but he still nodded first to show that he was Tang Meng, and then said in surprise: "You are?" ”
The tall girl smiled: "My name is Chen Yuan, and her name is Xia Feifei." We are your neighbors, and today my aunt told me that we are neighbors. We wanted to say hi to you when we moved in, who wants to ......" said this, glancing at Ai Le, who was scratching his head.
The landlord aunt does have some relatives with Chen Yuan, but it is not so close, otherwise the two girls will not be allowed to live here, there are people who rent houses in this place, and they are all bald boys, but in the end, they are all related to each other, after the landlord and aunt collected the rent, they reminded them not to give those bald boys a good look, and to have more contact with Tang Meng.
The landlord and aunt are almost sixty people, and she still has the ability to see people, she can see that Tang Meng and Ai Le are not the same kind of people as those bald boys, and they have a better relationship with the two of them, and they can take care of one or two things in the future, but the landlord and aunt forgot to mention Ai Le, just talking about Tang Meng.
As soon as Tang Meng heard that this was the relative that the landlord's aunt said in the morning, he smiled and said: "Hello, I'm Tang Meng, his name is Ai Le, come in and sit, I'll pour water for you."
The two girls are indeed college graduates who have just graduated, although they are younger, but they are not people who don't understand the world at all, it stands to reason that they can hear that Tang Meng is saying polite words, but they still follow Tang Meng in, the reason is that they have just moved in, and the things have not been packed yet, not to mention the water, there is no place to sit, and the two people are really thirsty, and whoever moves under the sun will be thirsty.
Tang Meng was very enthusiastic to pour water for them and then sat down and chatted with them, as soon as I heard that this girl is a graduate of Zhonghai University of Science and Technology, Tang Meng has a better impression of them, she studied well when she was a child, but the family conditions are not good, and there is a younger brother, and finally she will not go to the second year of high school, she will always have a college dream in her heart, she knows that she will not be able to fulfill this dream in her life, but it does not prevent her from liking to deal with college students.
Even if you can't go to college, it's good to have a few college friends.
Women are very strange creatures, they don't know each other yet, but after a few minutes of chatting, they immediately feel as if they have known each other for decades.
Ai Le saw that these three had become best friends, and he was really embarrassed to go over to talk, and it was boring to stay in the house, so he simply took the vegetables that Tang Meng bought back and washed them, seeing that it was almost seven o'clock, Ai Le was also hungry.
Tang Meng didn't buy too many vegetables, half a catty of beans, two cucumbers, two tomatoes, half a catty of meat, and four big steamed buns, cucumbers and tomatoes should be bought by Tang Meng as fruits, Tang Meng is usually very thrifty, never spends money indiscriminately, and will not buy snacks and fruits to eat like other girls.
Ai Le's cooking is worse than those chefs in the restaurant, but the general home cooking is still done, he used the existing ingredients to make a bean stew directly, when it was almost boiled, he cut the steamed bread into thick slices and pasted it on the edge of the pot, as a cake, so that the steamed bread not only does not need to be heated separately, but also absorbs the aroma of the bean stew, and it tastes better.
The cucumbers are made into cucumbers, the tomatoes are sliced and mixed with sugar, and the three dishes are done.
At this time, the other renters also came back one after another, some said hello to Ai Le, who was cooking in the yard, and some simply went back to the house as if they didn't see it.
Ai Le went back to the house and moved the small table he bought at the thrift market in the afternoon to the courtyard, and he still ate comfortably outside in the summer, and he shouted after he was done: "Tang Meng called them out to eat." ”
Hearing Ai Le's words, Tang Meng's face turned red. I was too involved in chatting with Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei just now. She forgot to cook. Originally, she wanted to make it for Ai Le, but it turned out that Ai Le made it for her to eat, which made Tang Meng very embarrassed.
Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei were also very embarrassed, they wanted to drink some water here just now, but they didn't want to eat, who thought that Ai Le was so enthusiastic and sat down, and beckoned them to come over and eat.
The three girls were embarrassed, and they couldn't go. It's not appropriate not to go, and in the end, Tang Meng, who had much more experience than Chen Yuan, broke the embarrassment and smiled: "Let's go and eat together, don't dislike the coarse tea and light rice." After speaking, he couldn't help but say that he pulled the two of them out.
Ai Le was still undressed, sitting there shirtless and using his hands as a fan, the sun was about to set, but the weather was still very troublesome, he was just busy cooking again, it would be so hot that he wanted to stick out his tongue.
Tang Meng felt a little sorry for him when he saw Ai Le Recheng like this, so he pulled Chen Yuan and the two of them to sit on the Mazha and said, "You eat first, I'll go buy something to drink." In fact, she was going to buy two cold beers for Elle, and men like to drink cold beers in the summer. Relieves heat and fever.
Chen Yuan was embarrassed to let Tang Meng buy it, grabbed her and said, "Sister Tang, don't worry about it." You sit, I'll go buy it with Fei Fei. After speaking, without waiting for Tang Meng to speak, he pulled Xia Feifei and ran away.
Tang Meng opened her mouth to stop them, but the two sisters had already gone out of the door, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "These two children! ”
Ai Le smiled: "Return these two children? It's like you're a lot bigger than them, and I think you're as big as them, or a little smaller than them. ”
Tang Meng thought about it, he seemed to be really about the same age as them, but he came into contact with the society much earlier than them, and he worked hard all the way until now, and he was much older than them mentally, and when he saw people of the same age as him, he subconsciously regarded them as children.
If I hadn't dropped out of school at the beginning, I might have been like them now, and I couldn't help but be crazy when I thought of this soup dream.
"Alas, alas, what do you think?" Ai Le's voice interrupted Tang Meng's train of thought.
She smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't think about anything, I bothered you today, I should cook for you." ”
Elle shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's the trouble with this, you are my landlord now, I have to sneak you, otherwise if you kick me out, I will have to sleep on the street again." ”
Tang Meng rolled his eyes and said, "You want to slip your beard, okay, you can brush the dishes and chopsticks in a while." ”
Elle saluted in a funny way, "Yes." ”
When the two of them were talking and teasing their shells, Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei came back with a large draft beer barrel with a snort, and the two of them also carried a bag in their other hand, which contained a lot of cooked food.
Tang Meng saw that they had bought so many things and came back, they were all quite expensive, and they were embarrassed to get up, so they stood up and excused themselves again and again, and the three women were pushing around there, pushing Ai Le's stomach gurgling, hungry.
He couldn't help it, and opened his mouth and said: "I said you don't push around, I feel that cooked food should be cut and torn, and the beer should be opened, let's eat it quickly, I'm so hungry that I stick to my back." ”
Ai Le didn't shirk the three women who interrupted like this, and worked together to cut and plate those cooked foods, Ai Le opened the draft beer early and poured himself a big bowl, no draft beer cups, and could only make do with the bowl, fortunately, Tang Meng bought more dishes and chopsticks in the thrift market.
The table was adding those cooked dishes to a hearty meal, Ai Le swallowed his saliva when he saw it, but he was not embarrassed to move the chopsticks first, and as soon as they sat down, he immediately raised his glass and said: "Don't say anything, the words are in the wine, do it first as respect." After saying that, he drank dry.
Tang Meng couldn't cry or laugh, the first time you ate with others, you didn't say anything, it was all in the wine, this is difficult.
Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei are also very arrogant, as soon as they saw that Ai Le was dry, they immediately picked up the bowl and drank, they were also thirsty and hungry, and they didn't drink much in a person, otherwise they wouldn't dare to drink like this with someone they met for the first time.
After eating and drinking, Ai Le also got acquainted with Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei, and learned that these two were not locals, and now that they had graduated from college, they planned to find a job in Zhonghai, so they could only live here for the time being.
From tomorrow onwards, this poor child will have to run away with his resume against the big sun in Zhonghai, Ai Le is a newcomer, and he is not familiar with Zhonghai at all, and he was also moved when he heard that they were going to participate in job fairs of all sizes, and poured wine for Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei and said: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Xia, I happen to be looking for a job, can I go with you tomorrow?" ”
Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei had a look of embarrassment on their faces when they heard this, they just chatted with Tang Meng and knew that she used to be a waiter, and Ai Le didn't ask what she was doing, but Tang Meng was a waiter, and Ai Le still lived with her, so you can imagine what he was doing, and now Ai Le is going to the job fair with them, isn't this a joke?
This kind of job fair is for college students or people with a college degree, what kind of high education can a waiter have, isn't it a trouble to go to this kind of job fair with them?
But Chen Yuan and Xia Feifei were also embarrassed to make their words clear, they couldn't directly tell Ai Le that you are not highly educated, so let's honestly find a job like a waiter, don't make do with us college students, it's too hurtful to say it.
Ai Le drank some wine and was a little drunk at this time, so that he didn't have an idea about the change in the expressions on their faces, and he was thinking about what to prepare for the job fair, he suddenly slapped and said, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Xia, do you have a notebook?" Can you lend it to me? "Ele has to get a resume, what can I do without this thing.
Chen Yuan happily agreed, and directly took Ai Le to their room to take out the notebook for her to use, and it didn't take long for her to come back again, and she opened her mouth several times to tell Tang Meng to persuade Ai Le not to go with them tomorrow, or find a waiter's job, but when Ai Le borrowed a USB flash drive from them, she didn't say it.
Ai Le got the USB flash drive and tinkered with it for a while and ran away, and it took more than half an hour to come back with an extra stack of paper in his hand, and there was something in this stack of paper, but no one paid attention.
After Ai Le put these things back in the room, he came out to drink and chat with Chen Yuan and them, and this conversation lasted until ten o'clock, and a barrel of draft beer was all gone.
Early the next morning, Ai Le was waiting in the yard with a small bag, and as soon as Chen Yuan came out, he ran over and said, "Xiao Chen, let's go, it's past seven o'clock." ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Do you really want to go?" ”
Ai Le nodded heavily and said, "I have to go, I have my resume and everything." (To be continued......)
