Chapter 34: Life in the City

The man behind him shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, the meat is ready, you can finish eating it before leaving?" ”

"I won't eat it, you drink a few more drinks, and I'll use you for work next year!" Sister-in-law Bai greeted them with a smile, pulled me into the car, and left here directly.

I saw Sun Laosi and a few of them through the car window, holding a large lunch box and eating meat like a tiger wolf. There was an expression of excitement on his face. With money to make and meat to eat, such a day is heaven for them.

"What do you think of this experience?" Sister-in-law Bai asked me with a smile.

I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I'm tired, but I think it's very valuable, and I've gained a lot of knowledge. ”

"Well, in fact, I have noticed you in the village, after these few days, I am more and more convinced that I think it is good, although you are a young girl, but you are honest and capable, kind and brainy, and have a little culture in junior high school. I want to ask you, would you like to help me with the work? ”

I was stunned; "You're asking me to do the work for you?"

"Yes, I want to contract a fruit stall, right in front of the town hospital, but I'm too busy to see the stall, and now there is one less person around me to help. I'll give you five dollars a day, how about you help me? ”

At that time, the salary of ordinary people was eighty or ninety yuan a month, which was not a small amount, but as soon as she made a move, it was one hundred and fifteen, which was really too generous.

The driver smiled while driving: "Sister-in-law, there is such a good thing, why don't you let my daughter-in-law go?" ”

"You can pull it down, let her help me sell cooked food at the market last time, good fellow, I lost ten chicken feet in one day! Later, she admitted that your daughter-in-law ate it herself, so let her take care of it at home. How expensive is fruit now? I can't afford her. ”

"yes, I don't even know about that. I said, why don't you use her? The driver smiled awkwardly, and then scolded in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, how can you say hello!" ”

As soon as I heard her mention the town hospital, I couldn't help but think of Gao Tiansheng, if I were selling fruit at the door, would I see him every day?

One is a promising doctor, and the other is a fruit seller, and the gap is really too big. What's more, they still have girlfriends, and I'm still dreaming here. I thought of this and sighed.

The white sister-in-law said: "I asked you to help me sell fruits, but I didn't let you sell your body, why are you sad?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Your idea is very good, this must be a feng shui treasure place for doing business." ”

"Not really! That's what I thought, too. I'm telling you that the houses here must go up! Sister-in-law Bai smiled.

I really admire Sister-in-law Bai, the entrance of the town hospital, I can't see it now, but in a few years, it will become a prime location for the whole city, and a lot of big shopping malls have been built around, not only many people who go to visit patients buy fruits from here, but also there are many residents nearby, and business has always been very good.

The most important thing is that the housing prices over there are rising with the tide, and it is the most expensive place in the whole city. If I can buy a house here, I'm really going to send it.

My heart moved, yes! How cheap this house is now, if I can buy one or several sets, in a few years, I will make a profit! I'm starting to get excited, knowing that I'm back in time from decades, and I have this vantage point, and I know what's going to happen in the future.

But when I think that my current house costs at least 10,000 yuan, I only have 200 yuan in my hand, and I still want to study and go to school, how can I have this money? The only way to do this is to help her sell fruit to save money, and then find some other way to buy a house.

I promised her, "Okay! I'm willing to help you, but sister-in-law, I'm in the village now, isn't it too inconvenient for me to go back every day? I might have to leave sooner. ”

"No, you don't! I have a bungalow near me that has been renting it out, and if you are willing to do it for me, I will take it back. Let you live there, and then the goods on can also be stored. But wouldn't you be scared if you did it yourself? ”

I hurriedly laughed; "I'm fine! I'm fine when I cut rice, what are I afraid of? It's just..."I'm a little embarrassed, after all, I can't publicize the ugliness of my family, and I don't know how to talk to her.

Sister-in-law Bai understood it a little, and said with a smile: "I understand, I won't tell your mother and second brother, I can't look down on these two people, and I won't take care of them." She lit a cigarette and smoked it, seeming very happy.

The driver smiled at me while driving: "Wang Qiaozhen, I think you are really a character!" I've been following my sister-in-law for several years, and I've never heard her praise anyone, but I'm full of praise for you! ”

I just smiled, and the white sister-in-law seemed to be silent, but she had been quietly observing me.

Sister-in-law Bai said: "Actually, I have always wanted to find a trustworthy person in the village, and I wanted to hire you for the first time when I saw you. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law Bai, how can I be so good?"

"Okay, I know in my heart, don't worry, follow your sister-in-law, you won't regret it."

I thank her from the bottom of my heart for giving me hope and seeing a ray of light from my poor and hopeless life.

Sister-in-law Bai smiled: "I use you to help me make money, you have to work hard." Otherwise, I'll fire you at any time, and don't blame me then. ”

"I understand, I'll work hard." I hurriedly agreed.

The driver sent us to the city, although it is still only 1989, but the night view of the city is quite beautiful, there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, the road is wide, and many factories and family buildings are all lit up.

There weren't many private cars on the road, more people were workers returning home on bicycles, and I sat on the car and looked at the scenery outside, thinking about the prosperous scene here decades later, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The car turned into a quiet community and stopped, and my sister-in-law took me out of the car, and she explained a few words to the driver and let him go.

Sister-in-law Bai smiled: "Let's go, sister-in-law will take you to visit my home." ”

Her home lives on the second floor, the area inside is not large, only 60 square meters, but it is very neatly cleaned up, snow-white walls, elegant beige floor tiles, looking up, it is the most popular hanging shed.

There was a refrigerator and a black-and-white TV in the living room, and I also saw the telephone, I knew that at that time, the phone cost thousands of yuan, which was a price that ordinary people couldn't afford, so it can be seen that the white sister-in-law is really amazing.

She said with a smile; "Are you hungry? I haven't eaten a good meal after a day's work. ”

"No need." I was a little embarrassed, this was my first time at her house, how embarrassed to eat.

"You're welcome? Actually, I'm hungry too, but I'm not very good at cooking, so if you want to eat, make me some. She smiled and went into the bathroom to change her clothes.

I promised to go into the kitchen and saw that there were still two steamed buns in the cupboard, which was easy to cook. When I opened the fridge door, it was full of liquor and canned food, and there wasn't much to eat, and I found a tomato, a piece of beef, and a few potatoes.

I simply cleaned up the dishes and stewed them on the gas stove.

At this time, the white sister-in-law changed her clothes, threw the dirty clothes aside, and brought me a blue half-worn coat.

"Your clothes are so dirty, you put this on first. I swapped this one out a few years ago and gave it to you. ”

I hurriedly picked it up: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law Bai." I went and washed all the clothes. ”

"Just throw it in the washing machine, don't wash it by hand."

I agreed and walked to the toilet, threw my clothes in, turned on the washing machine, looked at the pale green machine in front of me, and thought to myself, this is still a double cylinder, and I have to throw it myself, unlike now, which is fully automatic.

The white sister-in-law leaned against the door and suddenly smiled at me: "How did you learn to use a gas stove and a washing machine?" I thought you didn't understand, and I wanted to come and teach you. ”

I immediately stammered; "I... In fact, I ......, "Although my life in my previous life was not good, I used to be a nanny for a few years, so I can use these electrical appliances, but I can't tell her about this."

Sister-in-law Bai smiled: "I know, Du Cheng taught you?" It seems that this kid is bent on living the life of a city person. ”

"yes, that's right, he taught me." In fact, Du Cheng has never seen these things, but I don't want to go through the gangs, so I have to say this.

When my meal was ready, it was placed on the table, and then I greeted my sister-in-law. The two of us sat together, and she ate a big bowl, drank all the soup, and kept complimenting me on how delicious I cooked.

"You are such a good girl Du Cheng don't want it, it's crazy. What do you think is going on in his head? ”

I bowed my head and said; "The things I will do will be done by others, and it is the same for him to find anyone, so even if he doesn't have me, he won't be sad, but what Yuan Fang gave him is something that others can't give, so he is willing to marry her."

"Didn't Yuan Fang just find him a job in the city, and that salary was worth such a big sacrifice for him, what a boneless man! Don't worry, as long as you are strong and become a phoenix on the branches, there will naturally be good men chasing you, and let Du Cheng regret it when the time comes. ”

I smiled and said: "As long as I live well, even if Du Cheng lives as a master, it has nothing to do with me, if he doesn't regret it, I can't care about it." ”

Sister-in-law Bai smiled: "Okay, I like to hear your words, although you are only nineteen, you can live better than me." ”

I said in my heart, I have lived for more than forty years, and I have long understood these truths.

After eating, the white sister-in-law went to sleep in the bedroom, and she asked me to squeeze in a bed with her, but I refused and only slept on the sofa.

Seeing that I was so stubborn, she agreed, and gave me a blanket to sleep on.
