Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Fortunately, the driver slowly stepped on the brakes and said to everyone: "It's finally here." ”
Considering that no matter whether it was out of intention or not, Song Yufang offended several seniors on the road, so she didn't dare to say a word when she got out of the car, and in order to make up for her gaffe, she also took the initiative to carry the suitcase where the information was placed.
Several other people were going to live here, they all had luggage in their hands, and the things on the road were sad and angry after all, so they all left behind something ungraceful and acquiesced to Song Yufang's proposal.
It's a pain in her time.
She didn't carry the box when she got into the car, so how could I know how heavy the box was. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, so I pulled it casually, and then pulled it harder and harder, barely pushing a little. I finally dragged the box out of the car, and my body was carried and almost kowtowed to the ground.
In the end, the driver got out of the car, lifted it up without saying a word, and signaled her not to be too quiet.
Song Yufang had no choice but to follow quietly, only greeting with her eyes.
###
The hotel had arranged a suite, two rooms with a living room, which could accommodate just four men and could be used as an office.
Song Yufang didn't have to be busy packing their luggage like them, so they had nothing to do. She walked to the door and leaned on the railing to look down, where the tea room on the first floor had large glass windows that overlooked the mountains in the distance. Since it's okay to sit in the house, why don't you go downstairs and sit down.
Thinking about it, Song Yufang entered the house and greeted Master Jiang.
Master Jiang put down the clothes in his hand and came out of the room, the smile in his eyes obviously had a layer of separation: "What, are you going to go out to investigate?" ”
"No, no, no, I ......" Song Yufang was ashamed to be asked, and kept shaking her hand to explain, "I just want to go downstairs and see the snow scene." ”
"That's right." Master Jiang looked at her with a teachable expression, and couldn't help but smile, "This place has a bit of a paradise, isn't it good to drink tea and see the scenery." ”
Song Yufang still felt embarrassed, and in order to hide her emotions, she pretended to put up a lock of broken hair in her ear, lowered her head and hummed in reply.
Fortunately, someone in the other room shouted and asked Master Jiang if he could play the sparrow card, and Song Yufang was able to get out.
The shop guys here have very smart eyes, and when they saw the people in the uniform of the Bank of China coming downstairs, they followed them and asked, "Are you Miss Song?" Want to drink something? With this, the man led the way, took off the white towel from his shoulder, and wiped the table vigorously.
Song Yufang put the briefcase on the seat and replied, "Incense, the most ordinary kind." She turned her face and looked around, and by this time the guests were already half full.
But this guy's voice is not small, and his movements are even more exaggerated, and he flatters her in a different way: "Yo, how can it be ordinary, it must be the best of the first class." The jasmine flowers picked in Fujian, the incense pieces of Wu Yutai Tea House, the taste...... Take a sip of your tongue and feel like your tongue has gone back to the city. ”
Song Yufang frowned and kept waving his hand, signaling him to stop attracting attention, but unfortunately there was no tacit understanding between the two. Song Yufang couldn't help but turn around to look at her, so she had to acquiesce.
Before the tea was served, she opened her bag, took out the one she had brought with her, read a few words, and felt that she didn't have the heart to read it, so she put the book down. Then he took out a small notebook and scribbled twice against the snowy scene in the distance.
"Miss Song." A delicate-looking girl in a green cloth dress came over with a smile, "Your tea." ”
Song Yufang took it with both hands with a smile and nodded at her. Then he tore off the useless waste paper and asked, "Lao Jia asks, where is the paper basket?" ”
"Give it to me, I'll throw it. In fact, how can we talk about the word 'labor driving', and it is the same on the table. The girl who served the tea smiled, and said that, but her hand was already stretched out to take it. She turned her steps, glanced down, and casually read the words on the paper, "Those who have the ability come with their conscience, and those who have conscience are endowed by heaven, so that everyone has the same." ”
Song Yufang, who was enjoying the tea, was shocked, quickly put down the cup, swallowed the tea, and asked, "Do you recognize the words?" ”
The girl stopped, looked back and replied shyly, "I went to school for two years when I was a child. ”
Song Yufang had a look of pity in her eyes: "Why didn't you continue to study, the world has been much better in the past two years, and you can find a better job with a primary school diploma." ”
"It's not that good...... girl shrugged her shoulders and prepared to leave again.
"Sit down and talk to me for a while." Song Yufang hurriedly called out to her.
As soon as the words came out, I thought it was a little abrupt. But today, I don't know why, my heart is very confused, I am very confused about the future, and I have even been asking myself, are the things I learned in the past really suitable for society and this job? She needs to find someone to talk to, not necessarily the kind of senior who can guide the maze, just chat with the girl in front of her. She wanted to know how the other women in the world lived, and if they were confused, what kind of plans they had for their future.
But how can this girl sit down and talk about this girl, who has come here to work?
Thinking of this, Song Yufang hurriedly went to rummage through the bag: "I can make up your salary." ”
Without waiting for an answer, the guy from the shop just now shouted all the way: "Siju, what are you doing in a daze, Miss Song will do whatever you want you to do." ”
Song Yufang was a little resistant to this loud voice, and her brows furrowed slightly.
I saw that the guy was holding the preserved fruits and melon seeds, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Miss Song, she just came to work, you forgive me." ”
"Your name is Siju?" Song Yufang turned her face and asked with a smile.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he thought to himself, maybe it's easier for a woman to please a woman. Because he kept glancing at this girl called 'Siju', and asked her to accompany this distinguished guest.
Siju looked afraid of this loud voice, sat down nervously, kept rubbing his hands, lowered his eyes and whispered: "My eldest sister's name is Daju, and the sisters are counted in this way." However, my other two sisters were not able to reach adulthood. ”
Song Yufang asked again: "Then are you going to a new school, or the old school run by the squire?" ”
Siju said: "I went to the school built by a foreign Taoist. ”
"Because the family has no money to pay for tuition?"
"That's not it, the school is in the church, and it doesn't charge money for the first two years. Because my brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and the family can't afford the bride price, they won't let me read it. My father said that although I didn't pay tuition for studying, where would the money for food and clothing come from, it would be better to help work at home, so that my mother could free up time to work in the fields. ”
After hearing these experiences, Song Yufang became more and more regretful: "That's a pity, if you can read it......"
Siju was very relaxed, and his expression was relaxed when he talked: "How do you say that, Saiong knows if he loses his horse or not." I didn't make it, but I wasn't going to be sold. ”
"What do you mean?"
"In the third year after I returned home, there was a spring outing at school, and the foreign Taoist priest left with all the children in the school, and never came back. The grandfather of Xiucai in the village said that the foreign Taoist priest owed a sum of money in the gambling house, and because he couldn't get by, he deceived the children of the whole school to take a big boat and floated to the hometown of the foreign Taoist priest as a piglet. After saying these past events, Siju's expression became very complicated. Her happiness was probably sincere, but after the happiness, she couldn't help but miss those childhood friends and wonder what kind of life they are living now.
Song Yufang was fascinated by what she heard, and even asked, "Don't the families of these children go to look for it?" ”
Siju sighed, shook his head again and again, and said, "The foreign Taoist priests are gone, where can I find them." The village chief had been to the cathedral in the city and had reasoned with the steward there. But people say that they can only buy land to build a church, and nothing else. Let the village chief go to the police station to report the case, and if not, go to the yamen to fight a lawsuit. ”
"Did you end up fighting?"
"Although it is distressing to lose the child, it is necessary to file a lawsuit for money, so the adults discussed it and went to sue after the farm was over. Who knows what important day the people in the yamen have said, and they will not accept our form. ”
Song Yufang held the teacup to her mouth and paused again, thought for a while before saying: "The litigation period should mean that the litigation period has passed." ”
It's been too long, and Siju can't remember if it's this name, but in line with the principle that guests are always right, she nodded with a wooden face, and then sighed discouragedly: "It's so bad that we go in for nothing to find the master's money." After saying so many words at once, Siju felt that his mouth was dry, and his heart was moved by the pain of the past, so he had to lick his lips and rub his nose with his hands.
Song Yufang saw that she was thirsty, so she beckoned the shopkeeper to come over: "Let's have another cup of incense." As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly called out to the guy who turned around, "It's going to be good, it's the same as my cup." ”
Siju stood up very uneasily, and even said no.
It wasn't until Song Yufang told her that there was someone else who was paying the bill, and she was also generous to others, that Siju sat back suspiciously.
When the tea was served, Siju looked at the tea soup and was stunned.
This is probably the scene she has never thought about in her life, this tea was not stolen by her, nor was it rewarded by the shopkeeper, it was invited by a rich city lady, and it was drunk from sitting opposite the guest in the open.
"Sister, you're so nice." Siju raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes.
Song Yufang also guessed that although she had to serve countless cups of tea throughout the day, she might not have tasted it, so she smiled and asked her to take a sip first.
Tea must be fragrant, I smell it every day on weekdays, and I dream of this smell. But what kind of taste is the entrance, Siju can't say clearly. It's probably sweet, but when it rolls down my throat, my heart feels like sugar.
The two chatted for a while, and Song Yufang learned that Siju's surname was Chen, and Chen Siju also knew that Song Yufang was an employee of a big bank.
After becoming familiar with it, Chen Siju boldly asked, "Actually...... Is it really good to read? ”
If you ask if reading is useful, Song Yufang must say yes without hesitation. Only by reading books can it be possible to get rid of this situation where you can only earn money by doing miscellaneous work. But what is the income, is it food and clothing, is it wealth, or is it the ideals and beliefs that have reverberated in the school auditorium for a long time?
