Chapter 38 Part-time work
Mei Lan sat under the ginkgo tree for a long time, and after coming to Beijing for more than a month, she has been deliberately not thinking about the people and things in her hometown, doing her own things happily and earning her own money.
There will always be some people in life, there will always be some things that force themselves to compromise or make concessions, there is no right or wrong, no right and wrong, perhaps, this is the power of family affection.
At this moment, even if Mei Lan has a lot of unwillingness and grievances, but a Deng Hongying is here, she can't compromise with Mei Baoping and the Mei family, after all, Deng Hongying has also suffered a lot because of Mei Lan over the years, although Deng Hongying did not give Mei Lan enough warmth and maternal love, but after all, she is the one who gave Mei Lan life, and Mei Lan really can't hate her.
Maybe it's as if you repay the Mei family's nurturing kindness.
Sooner or later, too, there will be a reward.
When the twilight shrouded, Mei Lan's mood was almost settled, and then she realized that she was a little hungry, and when she was about to stand up, Mei Lan's mobile phone rang again.
This time, it was Cai Yan who called, and asked Mei Lan if she would like to do a part-time job, and go to help her clean the house once a week on Saturday morning, clean it thoroughly, and give 200 yuan at a time, and the house is in the Qingyuan community near the west gate of Mei Lan School.
Mei Lan thought about it, she still had something to ask for in the future, and she was really embarrassed to refuse, she wanted to introduce Sun Lan to her, but she was worried that it would be self-defeating, because Mei Lan knew that the other party introduced her because Mei Lan needed this job, not that people needed an hourly job.
Where can I not find a part-time worker?
Mei Lan had to agree, and it was also once a week, not to mention giving money, even if she didn't give money, she had to do it, but she needed to make a little adjustment at this time, because Mei Lan also had to go to driving school every Saturday.
Now Meilan desperately needs a bicycle even more.
Putting down the phone, Mei Lan went to the cafeteria to eat some food, and returned to the dormitory, where only Meng Luyao was left playing with the computer.
Mei Lan knew that Sun Lan was going to be a tutor, although Ni Qi and Zhu Beibei were chased by boys, but both of them were people with eyes above the top, and they had not yet found out which of the two of them was tempted, as for Zhang Jing, because she was too masculine, although she was accosted a few times, she was gone.
Therefore, these three people definitely didn't go out on a date, there must be some group activity.
"What about them?" Mei Lan asked casually.
"I'm going to watch a movie."
"Why don't you go?"
"They didn't invite me, it was a boy majoring in taxation who invited Ni Qi." There was some resentment in Meng Luyao's tone.
Mei Lan smiled when she heard this.
"What are you laughing at? You say, why don't our professional boys treat you? Meng Luyao turned around.
"Who says no? The dormitory next door has gone out for dinner twice, but we have forgotten. ”
"You said I was forgotten and forgivable, how did you become forgotten? Among the fourteen girls in our class, I think you are the most beautiful, really, definitely not a compliment, you are not only good-looking, but also have a good temper and temperament. ”
"Stop, stop, you don't have something to ask me, do you?"
Mei Lan is not uninvited, but she doesn't want to go out, because the purpose of the other party's invitation to her is too strong, and she can't give the other party what she wants, so she can only refuse.
"I'll go, I beg you? By the way, Mei Lan, I really have one thing to help you, I'll send you a new purchase message on BBS. Meng Luyao's eyes clearly had other meanings.
"No need."
Mei Lan went through the car buying incident, and felt that the things on the BBS were not very reliable, she obviously marked a second-hand female car for less than 100 yuan, but that Gu Lei also pushed such a good mountain bike to meet her, obviously the drunkard did not mean to drink.
Mei Lan doesn't want to encounter another one like this, who knows if there will be such a good way to get rid of it next time?
So Mei Lan called one of her senior girls and asked her to see if any of their girls wanted to sell old bicycles.
Mei Lan's fellow was very business-oriented, and the next morning he pushed Mei Lan a pink 26 women's old car, and the other party only asked for 80 yuan.
At that time, Sun Lan also bought an old bicycle from her fellow countryman, which only cost 50 yuan.
Coincidentally, the next day was Saturday, Mei Lan transferred the driving school class to the afternoon, and hurriedly carried a schoolbag to the west gate, because Cai Yan and Mei Lan made an appointment to meet at the main gate of the community at nine o'clock.
Qingyuan Community is a newly built community, just diagonally opposite the west gate of the school, nearby shopping malls and supermarkets have everything, life is very convenient.
When Mei Lan looked for her, Cai Yan was standing at the door waiting for her.
Cai Yan changed into a light blue long-sleeved dress today, a beige Chanel trench coat, long seaweed-like hair fell down, and the bag in his hand was also a matching Chanel.
"Very punctual." Cai Yan looked at his watch.
"It should."
"I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I won't go up, I'll leave it all to you."
Cai Yan said as he told Mei Lan the house number, and at the same time handed Mei Lan a key.
"I'll send you a text message when I'm done cleaning, where do I put the key?"
"You take the key first, won't you have to come back next week? Remember, every Saturday morning, there is no one at home at this time. After Cai Yan finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Mei Lan put the bicycle in the carport at the entrance, turned a corner and quickly found a place, Cai Xiang's family lives on the 32nd floor, the house is not big, the layout of two bedrooms and two living rooms, black and white simple decoration, Mei Lan took a look, this is not like Cai Xiang's home, because the house is cold, there is no feminine atmosphere at all.
Mei Lan immediately thought of the Cai Ganlin she had served before, and this was his house. It's a pity that there are no photos in the house, but then again, even if there are photos, Mei Lan doesn't recognize them, because Cai Ganlin's head was swollen like a pig's head at that time, and he has been wrapped in gauze, and Mei Lan really didn't see what he looked like.
The living room is not as dirty as Mei Lan imagined, but it is a little messy, and there are books, clothes, shoes and socks everywhere on the sofa and coffee table, as well as banknotes of various denominations; However, the kitchen is really dirty and messy, and it can be seen that the owner likes to order takeout, and the leftover food is not processed in time, and there is a musty smell; The bathroom is better, because it is a shower, which saves a lot of trouble; The bedroom is OK, similar to the living room, and it is also clothes, shoes and socks, as well as large and small denominations; The most difficult thing to clean is the study, because the study has a large desk, the owner is obviously a lover of calligraphy and painting, and there are his graffiti works everywhere, which is just that, the annoying thing is that the ink is everywhere, even the walls are thrown up, and it is difficult to clean up.
It took Mei Lan a full three hours to clean the house, and all the dirty clothes were sorted, which should be sent to the dry cleaner and washed by hand; All the books, magazines, and newspapers are also classified; Even the ink on the wall was cleaned, of course, it was impossible to clean it completely, but it was not so obvious; All the money on the ground and in the cracks was also sorted out, and there was actually a small thousand yuan, and Mei Lan put it on the coffee table; The kitchen is also a wash.
Before leaving the house, Mei Lan left a note for the owner of the house, telling him that she would take the clothes downstairs to the dry cleaner and ask him to pick them up in three days.
Coming out of the Qingyuan community, Mei Lan sighed again, originally thought that when she arrived in Beijing, she had some money in her hands, so she didn't have to go to work and didn't have to do Xiaofulow, but she didn't expect that she would start working part-time again.
Sure enough, it is not so easy for the poor to turn over.
