Chapter 97 748 Host
By the way, it should be ...... under the bed".
Shi Taotie flashed his light, then lay on the ground, looked at the bottom of the bed, and sure enough, he saw a black smart phone, lying in the center, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, I didn't lose it, I'm so poor now, I only have three digits left in the card, and it's enough to buy a ticket home......."
If you lose your phone, you'll really go begging under the overpass.
It took Shi Taotie a lot of effort to get his mobile phone out from under the bed.
He looked up and down, tried the function again, and found that there was no problem.
Shi Taotie's hanging heart finally landed, and he didn't have the money to buy a new mobile phone, especially in this special gap.
He calmed down for a while, found the landlord's phone in the address book and dialed out: "Hey, sister, I'm Xiao Shi, I'm going to move out on the first of next month, I've really troubled you recently......
An amiable female voice came from the phone: "Xiao Shi, have you found a job???
"No, no, I didn't find a suitable job, and there is so much competition in Kyoto City, how can a job be so easy to find......."
"Then you can rent a suitable house? Xiao Shi, I'm really sorry, my sister helped you ask several people, and there is no house to rent recently......."
The landlord's eldest sister thought that Shi Taotie was in a hurry, and hurriedly apologized:
"However, my sister assures you that I will help you find the house before the demolition ......."
"No, I didn't rent a proper ......." Shi Taotie listened to the words of the landlord's eldest sister, his heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile:
"It's because I'm going back to my hometown, I don't want to drift anymore, I'm too tired......."
"Xiao Shi, what are you doing, aren't you blind to your cooking skills when you go back to your hometown......."
The landlord's eldest sister was emotional, and said almost hatefully:
"You live in the house first, you can tell my sister if you have difficulties, don't give up, and then insist on persevering, you will succeed ......."
"Persistence, I've been persisting for eight years, and I still haven't achieved anything, and the more I mix, the worse ......."
Shi Taotie knew that the landlord's eldest sister was sorry for him, and how could he be willing, but the reality was there, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself:
"My parents are old, and when I go back to my hometown, I can at least accompany them, do my filial piety in front of them, and stay here except for disappointment and frustration day after day, year after year, there is no other ......."
"I really decided it, and I don't regret ???". The landlord's eldest sister said tentatively again, with a hint of hope in her tone, she wanted Shi Taotie to stay, because this young man is really good, has a hard work that does not admit defeat, and is quite talented in cooking.
"It's decided, don't regret ......". Shi Taotie's answer was categorical.
"Xiao Shi, then I won't be able to eat the dishes you cook in the future......."
The landlord's eldest sister hurriedly opened the topic and regretted it:
"How good it is for you to stay, the water and electricity are free, the house is for nothing, this is a pie in the sky......
"Hehe, how can there be a sister like this, do all the loss-making business, other people's houses are about to be demolished, I can't wait to drive everyone away, you are good, you actually keep me, a nail household......."
Shi Taotie listened to the regret of the landlord's eldest sister, almost didn't hold it, and agreed to stay, but his father's old face crossed his mind, and half-jokingly:
"I'm leaving, won't my sister save a lot of trouble? shouldn't you always take a fancy to me, a little fresh meat, and you have a crush on me, and you haven't been embarrassed to say it......."
"I'm sorry, Shi Taotie, you didn't put a car, you didn't have a deposit, you look stumbling, your mouth is not sweet, you don't pull a few thin, and you are ...... like a bamboo pole." The landlord's eldest sister snorted and laughed, and said sarcastically: "In the end, the courage to call yourself Xiao Xianrou, my rhubarb is ...... more handsome than you."
"Hehe, Liang Jingru gave ...... courage."
Shi Taotie smiled, sounding cheap, and said unfairly:
"Sister, don't take you to make a personal attack, you actually let me compare with Rhubarb, you bury Rhubarb like this, do you know Rhubarb???."
"Okay, okay, my son is still two years older than you, be careful that your little brother returns to China and beats you to death, you are ...... poor."
The landlord listened to Shi Taotie's words, her tone was a little lighter, and her mood was not so sentimental:
"I'm just reluctant to give up on you as a cook......."
"Sister, you have Alzheimer's in advance, this logic is not right, I call you sister, your son should call me uncle, why do I have to call him brother, or I will call you aunt ......." Shi Taotie screamed in surprise and said with a grin.
"Come less, you dare, call my aunt to call me old, let's talk about it, don't get in the way......." The landlord pretended to be drunk and scolded with a smile.
"Well, the elderly have a glass heart and can't afford to hurt ......."
Shi Taotie sighed, as if he was reluctant:
"Who made me careless at the beginning, as soon as I came to Kyoto City, I ran into you, a grinding landlord, what you say is what you say......"
"Hmph......" The landlord snorted coldly, as if to say that you know each other.
"Sister, after I leave, why don't you go to the United States with Brother Xiao Yuan, what is wrong with your children Chenghuan's knees, why do you want to be stubborn, it doesn't taste good to be an empty nester in the country alone......" Shi Tao seemed to be playful, but in fact, he was a serious rule.
"Okay, put away your little caution, this matter is not negotiable, I will not go to the United States, even if I die, I will die in the ...... Huayan Country."
When the landlord heard this, she became a little impatient, and immediately interrupted:
"Do you want me to teach you the truth of falling leaves to the roots, what is so good about worshipping foreign flattery, if Bai Yuan's stinky boy hadn't been sent to study abroad by his dead father, there wouldn't be these things today......."
As soon as the words fell, the female voice over there disappeared instantly, leaving only the sound of "beep", and Shi Taotie laughed dumbly.
It seems that my sister is really angry, and I don't know if she will come to see her off when she leaves?
Originally, I wanted to help persuade and hope that the landlord would let go of her prejudices, but she was not self-defeating.
Shi Taotie can understand the idea of the older generation of people returning to their roots, but he can't understand what the landlord is stubborn about.
However, this doesn't seem to be Shi Taotie's business, because he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself, and he will leave Kyoto City in a few days.
This city, which carried his eight years of youth and dreams, initially relied on a silly love, and with the passage of time, love became a habit, habit became stubbornness, stubbornness became not admitting defeat, and not admitting defeat became not admitting defeat.
Not admitting defeat has become admitting defeat now, what has happened during this period, Shi Taotie can't remember clearly, it seems that at this moment, the memory has faded.
A lot of things, as if by the time you choose to give up, have become unimportant.
Because it doesn't matter, it will blur and fade into oblivion.
Shi Taotie didn't know why, but he was particularly sentimental today.
Eight years of time have taught him the most profound truth, in this world, not all efforts can be exchanged for the results you want.
I should have recognized the cruelty of reality a long time ago, but I still expected a miracle to come.
Half a month ago, Shi Taotie was the head chef of an unknown restaurant in Kyoto, where he stayed for eight years, starting as a low-level dishwasher, regardless of the restaurant's profit or loss.
However, just when Shi Taotie thought that he had finally come to the bitter end, he was ruthlessly fired by the boss, on the grounds that he had a junior Chinese certificate and a poor academic degree.
On the day he was fired, Shi Taotie stood on the bustling street and suddenly felt very humble and insignificant.
The day after being fired, I heard that the house I rented was included in the urban construction plan in the first half of the year, and the news that it was about to be demolished was not an exaggeration to describe it as a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
At that time, he was unwilling and resentful in his heart, and he was bold, and he always felt that he could make a comeback.
However, the reality slapped him in the face, and he applied for the chef of an unknown number of restaurants with his resume, but all of them were rejected without exception.
Shi Tao was disheartened, is academic qualifications, academic qualifications really that important?
At that time, he stood on the bustling street, looking at the neon sky, the high-rise buildings, and the crowds, and he felt so small and humble.
Perhaps, it's not that he is not good enough and not hard enough, but that the city can no longer accommodate him.
Before he knew it, he had been eliminated from the competition.
In this city, there are countless people who have left their homeland like him, worked hard, and are not afraid of hardships, and they are still struggling, hoping to win a place for themselves.
If it is said that Shi Taotie came to this city just to satisfy his "appetite" at the beginning.
However, after coming into contact with all kinds of people and experiencing that kind of glamorous life, his thinking changed.
I began to want to put down roots in this city, marry a wife and have children, and all the future blueprints were full of the shadow of Kyoto City.
Sometimes, Shi Taotie can't even figure out whether it was people who influenced him, or whether the environment changed him.
Perhaps, it's both.
Shi Taotie had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
In the end, it could only turn into a heavy sigh, and his eyes crossed a little sadness.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much, anyway, I'm already planning to go home and farm, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and I can't ...... if I'm unwilling."
Shi Taotie threw his lost mobile phone on the bed, walked over and rolled up the cool mat at the door of the bathroom, turned off the fan of the refrigerator, and stood it upside down on the side of the small stove, shook his head again and again, and muttered quietly.
I forgot to mention that because of the limited space, the man encountered several "roadblocks" halfway, and easily crossed over with the height advantage of long legs.
is more than eight meters tall, a big man of nearly one meter, this is probably one of Shi Taotie's few advantages.
Yes, things are also troublesome, and I don't know where to start cleaning them up at this time, and if I lose them all, it's a pity, after all, it's all spent money to buy.
"Uh-huh, I'd better take a shower first, this ghost weather is really hot, and it stinks if you don't wash it......." Just as Shi Tao's scalp was numb and he secretly supported his forehead, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his sloppy and bad condition, and suddenly realized.
It turned out that I don't know when, the man was already sweating profusely, as if the sauna had just come out, and the head of the chicken nest was wet with sweat, drooping down, glowing with greasy luster.
The dust stains on his body that he had just stained were now blurry and black, blurred, and even more unbearable.
After that, he sniffed into the squeaky socket, and it was so sour.
So, he trotted briskly to the bedside, quickly picked up his clothes, and in less than a minute, rushed to the bathroom, which was outrageously fast.
There was a loud bang, the bathroom door was closed, and the sound of "brushing" water was heard after a while.
Of course, Shi Taotie was not doing nothing while taking a shower, his brain was running rapidly.
While thinking about how to pack up those things outside, I was thinking about what I would do when I returned to my hometown.
Although, on the surface, he said that he would go home to farm, but in the past eight years, he has had very few opportunities to touch farm tools, and he has long been unfamiliar.
I roughly remember that this time last year, it was the season of double robbery.
Shi Taotie's ID card expired, and he went home to reapply for it, so he stayed at home for a few more days, and also followed his parents to work in the fields.
However, before he could hold on to 15 minutes in the wheat field, he was already panting like a cow and stopped to rest.
The old couple was still energetic and did not look tired.
Seeing this, Shi's mother laughed at him: "Taozi, your child is used to being pampered in a big city, and he can't bear ...... doing some physical work."
Chapter 2 Fog Grass, I'm actually gluttonous
Shi Taotie wanted to refute at the time, I also did manual work in the city, but it was not as intense as our wheat cutting.
However, after thinking about it, compared to his elderly parents, who are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, facing the loess with his back to the sky, he is a chef in Kyoto City, is it not pampered?
It was dark, rushed home in the evening, the wheat was transported back on the tractor, and Shi Taotie came down all day with a sore back.
When eating dinner at the dinner table, Shi Taotie still couldn't help but repeat the old saying: "Parents, when the wheat is harvested this season, don't plant it, you two old men can do something else to make a living, and I will pay to solve the ......."
Shi Taotie knew that his parents were idle people, so he didn't say anything to let them do nothing, and stayed at home to enjoy Qingfu.
"Nonsense, pay to solve it, do you think the money is blowing in the wind???". Dad Shi immediately slapped the table with chopsticks, and said with angry eyes.
"Then I'm in a big city, isn't it much easier to earn money than you? What's this, I just don't want you to have to work ......so hard." Shi Taotie was suddenly startled, stood up, looked aggrieved, and said.
"Daddy, child, what are you doing, it's good to eat ...... endearingly." Seeing that the situation was not right, Shi's mother immediately pulled a fight, glared at her husband, and shouted angrily.
Dad Shi is obviously a strict wife, as if he is uneasy, he snorted coldly and didn't speak again, and Mama Shi turned to Shi Tao with a pleasant face: "Taozi, you sit down ......."
That attitude is really a heaven and an earth.
Shi Taotie glanced at his father, his expression fluttered, Shi Ma immediately reacted, and said: "Look at what he is doing, with me here, your father can still eat you ......."
