26. Coincidental encounters

"Hey, hello Sister Li, I'm Ziluo, I want to ask if you are still recruiting for short-term promotions this Sunday?"

"No need, oh, okay, let me know next time if you do, okay? Um okay, thanks, goodbye. ”

"Brother Bin, yes, it's me, Ziluo, I want to ask if your company still needs to distribute leaflets recently? No, oh, well, please let me know next time. Thank you in advance. ”

"Chi Mei, do you still have a tutor job in your hands, no, I've just been very empty lately, no, it's okay, it's okay, no, I don't lack money to spend, really, haha, don't worry, I'll tell you if I don't have money, ah, okay, I'll hang up first."

Because of the big week, Ziluo, who got out of school early on Friday, crawled on the bed and made a phone call, deep winter, and the economy also had a dormant period, alas, now a person's livelihood is a problem, not to mention tuition, what should I do? If you don't pay the rent, you'll be kicked out. One qiē, one qiē, the locks and expenses in life make Ziluo very nerve-wracking.

It's cold, and all business seems to be in the off-season, and there is no plan to hire new people. The landlord has come to urge him several times, and if he doesn't pay the money, he will have to take back the house, where can he go? The world is so big, where is the place for yourself?

Ziluo picked up the yellowed group photo of the whole family from the table in disappointment, looked at herself with two pigtails when she was a child, and smiled happily in her mother's arms, and couldn't help sighing, Mom, how are you now? It's already cold in the winter, will you be cold over there? Grandma is gone, you tell me, the place she went to is heaven, there is no cold, there is no heat, only the four seasons are as beautiful as spring, Mom, have you seen all this? Ziluo wiped the tears left unconsciously at the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and smiled hard: Mom, now your daughter is not by your side. You should pay attention to protect your body, remember to add more clothes, and don't catch a cold. Also, eat well, you must be healthy and happy. Don't be tormented by sickness as before. And, Mom, Daddy didn't go to you, did he? I know my dad won't leave me alone, he still has a wish that hasn't been fulfilled, and he won't let me be an orphan, right? Mom, Dad, I miss you so much.

It would be nice if Dad was here, and when he wasn't drinking, he could tell jokes to himself, occasionally cook a meal of braised pork, and maybe think of a good way to make money. Even if there is no money, the two of them will always be warmer in winter. remembered that my father suddenly had the happiness of money, and paid off Wang Dabeard's money, like a boulder falling to the ground. Dad's life is really too bitter, if it weren't for himself, he might not be what he is now, and he wouldn't have to suffer so much suffering and sin. Dad, where are you? Please, come back, I'm alone, it's really hard, no one listens to me, no one eats with me, no one can share happiness or sorrow.

I didn't eat dinner, and I fell asleep with Ziluo and my clothes full of thoughts.

The next day, early in the morning, he was awakened by the unceremonious knock on the door of the landlord, of course, he came for the rent, no one in this world has a grudge against money, and even more so for those who see money. He ruthlessly threatened that if Ziluo couldn't pay the rent again, she would have to move out within three days.

I can't find a job anymore, and I'll be sleeping on the streets in three days.

Walking alone on the street, his eyes are staring at the decorated or cheesy shop windows on the side of the road, to see if there will be a store posting a job advertisement.

The biting cold wind blew towards her thin body, and she turned around, but still found nothing. All year round, if there is no winter, it would be fine. I think of myself who has been busy like a spinning top before the winter, although tired, but very happy, if it weren't for looking for my father and spending all my savings, my life wouldn't have been so difficult now.

Loss, it is easy to make a person downcast. It wasn't until a feeble greeting that Zi Luo's boundless contemplation was broken.

"Ouch, ouch, girl, help me."

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Ziluo saw a middle-aged woman on the ground not far in front of her, moaned silently, and hurriedly ran up.

"Ouch, my foot is twisted so much that I can't go home, girl, can you help me?" Sister-in-law Wu frowned tightly because of her painful distorted face, looking very pitiful.

"I'll see." Ziluo squatted on the ground and lifted the corner of Wu's pants to check.

"Is this it? Well, it's okay, it didn't hurt the bones, maybe the tendons were twisted and a little swollen. Ziluo stroked Sister-in-law Wu's bulging ankle with her hand.

"But it hurts, it hurts. Ouch ouch. As soon as she touched the affected area, Sister-in-law Wu couldn't help but moan loudly, and the expression on her face looked very painful.

"Good boy, you'd better send me home, right? You see, I've been sitting here for almost half an hour, and I'm about to freeze. Ouch, I have ankle pain, joint pain, and head pain right now. There is no good place in the whole body. Sister-in-law Wu was afraid that Ziluo would not believe it, so she coughed exaggeratedly.

"Yes, Auntie. You hold on a little longer, and I'll go find the car right away. Ziluo got up and quickly ran to the middle of the road and beckoned. Taxi, taxi. "It's cold, there are a lot of taxis, and in the past several taxis have carried passengers without stopping. I had no choice but to run to the intersection where there was a lot of traffic to stop the car.

"Oh, there are still a lot of good people in the world." Sister-in-law Wu watched Zi Luo, who was more anxious than her own injury, run to find the car, and then look at the fresh vegetables that began to wither in the vegetable basket next to her. Take off her coat and cover it immediately, she doesn't want them to freeze.

In a moment, Ziluo came to Meiru's side in the taxi.

After Ziluo and the driver helped together, Wu's sister-in-law, who was unable to move, sat in the car steadily, and the unpleasant smell of smoke in the car made her frown.

"Auntie, is it still in pain?" Violet leans down and blows on the affected area with her mouth. Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up first? "Hey, no, no, just go home and get some medicine." Thinking of the pungent smell of the hospital's disinfectant water, Sister-in-law Wu waved her hand again and again. Besides, it's just, just a little skin trauma.

After about 20 minutes of driving, the taxis, under the command of Wu's sister-in-law, stopped at the door of a row of villas that were interconnected but did not negotiate with each other.

The first mansion in the famous capital, the first mansion in Pingyang. It is said that it is a mansion not because of its aristocratic temperament, but because the people who live here are all well-known people in Pingyang City. The majestic high-end villa even the spacious and tidy road conditions are full of luxury and luxury, there are a lot of precious flowers and trees that cannot be named on the side of the road, sitting in the special means of transportation in the park, a timely and convenient multi-row battery car, the shadow of the stream can be seen everywhere, what is amazing is that there are a few snow-white swans playing in the stream. The whole clear trickling stream goes around each villa building, and there are man-made landscapes, pavilions, pavilions, and springs in every place.
