Chapter 10: Strange Neighbors

After a long day of wandering around the bustling city, I couldn't find a suitable job. Walking through the high-rise neighborhood, surrounded by people full of style, they are all glamorous and radiant, exuding an undisguised sense of superiority. In the meantime, Yang Qianye was as small as the most inconspicuous dust.

After all, she is still a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and all her imagination of this world is still stuck in the backward and closed Lancheng. Now, this unescorted bird has to learn to fly alone, both scared and full of longing.

She wished she could like Deer City, even though it seemed a little difficult now.

The cheap potatoes at noon could have been wrapped in a belly, but it was a pity that they were ruined by He Chong. At this moment, the sunset is like a hawthorn slice eaten in childhood, falling west on the top of the distant mountain, and gradually disappearing downward. The hunger was getting stronger, and she couldn't bear it.

She is actually very good at eating, how to describe it, in her dictionary there is only hungry and not hungry, never the word "support".

When she was eleven years old, because she was naughty, she was locked in the utility room behind the cafeteria by the teacher, and at the end of a class, everyone forgot about it, what should she do when she had lunch and a nap, and she was left there alone. She was so hungry that she climbed through the air window into the cafeteria and wiped out all the eighty steamed buns she had prepared for dinner in one go. After investigating the matter, she took the initiative to stand up and admit her mistake, but no one believed it. In the end, the cafeteria aunt was criticized and fined money, and she was aggrieved.

Today's business doesn't need to be finished today, but today's meal can't be delayed until tomorrow.

There is a fried chicken restaurant in front of it, which looks good, it is not a chain brand, and the price should not be expensive. In particular, the picture of fried chicken on the sign is really tempting, with a golden crispy skin, rich dipping sauce, and juicy meat.

She swallowed, walked in, and ordered fried chicken.

Delicious indeed! She sucked her finger over and over again, and if she hadn't been shy, she might have eaten up all the store's stock.

At this time, an old lady wearing a polka-dot silk scarf entered the store.

"Boy, bring me a box."

The voice was a little familiar, Yang Qianye subconsciously looked up, and at the same time smelled the faint calming smell of lavender on the old man's body.

"My grandson loves mayonnaise, give me two servings of mayonnaise, thank you."

The old lady was very polite, and took out a handkerchief from her delicate pouch, which was opened and filled with money.

Such a scene always makes her envious.

Since she was a child, she has hardly been loved by anyone other than Mo Lian, and her memories of love are stuck before the age of five, scattered and vague, but never forgotten. On those sultry summer nights, Mo Lianzhi always lay beside her gently and shook her fan, until she pouted and fell asleep. Even if it was to eat an apple, Mo Lianzhi always let out all the plump flesh, chewed the remaining apple cores by himself, and smiled all over his face......

Here she wandered in reverie, and the old lady over there kept smiling and waited for the clerk to prepare the meal. The two looked at each other inadvertently, and the old lady's face suddenly changed, and she turned around and left.

"Eh, old man, you haven't got your fried chicken yet." The clerk craned his neck and called.

The old lady turned a deaf ear and walked faster.

"Wait, where has this grandma been seen?" Chiba suddenly remembered something, "Ah, it's her! Grandma Wang of 1102! ”

Without thinking, she quickly checked out and chased out.

As night fell, Grandma Wang walked faster and faster, almost trotting, and looking behind her from time to time. On one side of the wall, there was only her hurried figure, and there was no one else, and she turned around and breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that Chiba didn't follow.

Who knew that Chiba had made a detour to stand on the street in advance, and Grandma Wang was taken aback and was about to turn around and was stopped.

"Grandma Wang, your fried chicken." Chiba stretched out his pocket with kindness on his face, "What are you running?" ”

"Who you are, I don't know you." Grandma Wang snatched her pockets and looked very resistant.

"I'm a tenant of 1101, you don't recognize me, I remember you."

"I'm old, I can't remember so many people, I still have something to hurry back, please get out of the way."

Grandma Wang walked around her and walked forward quickly, and Chiba had to follow closely.

"Do you know my landlord?"

Grandma Wang shook her head vigorously: "I don't know, I don't know." ”

"If you think about it again, how can you live on one floor and not know each other."

"You girl is so annoying, if you don't know it, you don't know it, why do you keep pestering me."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm ......"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, I don't know anything, don't follow me anymore."

Grandma Wang quickened her pace and ran down the motorway, stopped a taxi and drove away.

Chiba frowned, didn't chase any more, and slowly walked in the direction of the cherry blossom apartment, his thoughts chaotic all the way.

"Grandma Wang is very kind, why is it like seeing me like a ghost? Did I do anything rude? Why didn't she want to mention Aunt Lu and say she didn't know her? When you hear 1101, you hide, does it have something to do with chocolate? ”

With a series of questions, she walked back to the apartment unconsciously, remembering that the snacks sent by Lu Meiqin had not been taken, she bypassed the building and went directly to the housekeeper center.

"Hello, I'm a tenant here, and I'm here to pick up something from the landlord."

There was only one uniformed staff member in the butler center watching TV, with his back to the door, and when he heard her speak, he turned and stood up.

"It's you." The man said.

She immediately recognized that the person was the fat security guard who was on duty at the guard box that day.

"Oh, it's you." She responded, "I'll take something." ”

"The bag." The fat security guard was very enthusiastic, pointing to a bag of things in the corner and saying, "It seems to be all food." ”

"Why aren't you at the sentry box?"

"I'm on duty on both sides, and when they go to dinner, they come over to help watch, there is Lao Zhang in the sentry box." The fat security guard always smiled.

"Oh, I'll take it away, thank you." With that, she walked towards the bag.

"I'll help you." The fat security guard lifted his pocket one step ahead and walked straight out, "It's heavy." ”

"No, I can mention it."

How did the fat security guard know that she had great strength, and of course he thought that this was the time for him to show his manhood.

"Let's go, these things should have been done by the housekeeper center for the owner, you girl can not move."

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Chiba didn't insist anymore, and followed towards the four buildings and five units.

There is a distance between the housekeeper center and the fourth building, so in order to avoid embarrassment, the fat security guard took the initiative to greet her.

"You're not like a local."

She nodded.

The fat security guard looked very happy: "Me too, from the countryside." ”

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been a few years, and I'm a veteran employee." Seeing that she also took the initiative to find a topic, the fat security guard was not as nervous as before, "To be honest, I am not used to it until now, and I don't have anything to do when I sit in the sentry box every day." It is said that it is security, in fact, there is nothing to protect, there are more than 100 monitoring in the community, and the access control system is also the most advanced, and ordinary thieves dare not patronize it at all. ”

"And what are you all doing?"

"Just do visitor registration, regular patrols or something, haha."

"You love to laugh, and the owners here should like you very much."

"Don't believe it, I can memorize the names of the owners of several buildings, units, and floors in the community, but the appearance is not right. The people here are all in luxury cars and luxury cars out, only the elderly and children have been in the sentry box, who will care about us nobodies. ”

"You don't seem to like it very much." This question Chiba is not like asking the fat security guard, but like asking himself.

"I don't like it. But the salary here is high, and when you save enough money for another year, you will go back to ask for a daughter-in-law, and the two of them will open a grocery store or something, which is far better than here. I don't have much culture, but I'm young after all, so I don't want to bury my good time here. ”

The two walked to the door of the unit as they spoke, and Chiba stepped forward to open the door, pulled it for the fat security guard, and walked in one after the other.

"It's rare to talk to you so much today, don't blame me for talking too much, it's all usually suffocated."

"I understand, I sit in the sentry box every day, and I have been with some old people and children, so naturally there is nothing to talk about."

"Yes, it's all about eating, I'm back, and the weather is good today."

Speaking of the old man, she suddenly remembered Grandma Wang.

"Do you know the house next door to me?"

"Grandma Wang, of course I know. She is very polite, greets us with a smile every time she goes in and out, and gives us some fruit to eat from time to time. ”

"I've seen her twice, but I haven't seen her family."

"Her wife died a long time ago."

"What about the children?"

"I haven't seen it, and it's hard to ask. You said that these children are also now, what is it to buy such a big house for the elderly to live in and not accompany them? Put aside our hometown, it is really filial piety to cook a meal and wash the feet of the second elder. ”

"That's right...... So she lives with her grandson? ”

"Sun Tzu...... I haven't heard her say she has any grandchildren. Have you seen it? ”

"Oh no, you haven't seen it, and of course I haven't." Chiba was a little surprised.

When the elevator arrived, this time the fat security guard blocked the car door with his feet and signaled her to go first.

"What, usually if you want help, come to me directly, and I can move things, repair circuits, and connect pipes."

"Thank you."

"I mean, really, I don't take money, I just want to find something to do. It's too boring to go to work, and I don't dare to sleep. ”

"Okay, got it."

"I'm a warm-hearted person and a talker, don't mind."

She smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

When the two got out of the elevator on the 11th floor, she stopped, and she didn't want the fat security guard to follow the house.

The fat security guard may have realized it, and took two steps forward to put things at the door of 1101 and poured them back.

"My surname is Luo, Luo Da Mao, they all call me Da Mao."

"Nice to meet you, Yang Qianye."

"Hey, hey." Da Mao wanted to shake hands, but just stretched out and scratched around the top of his head, very shy, "Thank you for chatting with me, you didn't dislike us as security guards." ”

She blinked, puzzled.

"What's wrong with the security guard, I don't even have a job."

"Come on, how can you compare yourself with us, all the people who live here are capable people, rich and educated, and they can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month if they find a job."

She stepped forward and lifted her pocket easily, Da Mao was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to be so strong.

"Don't be presumptuous, no one is inferior to the other." She suddenly felt that Da Mao was very sincere, unguarded and unshelfed, making people relaxed, "The landlord is my mother's friend, and I basically don't give any money to live here." I'm also poor, I can't earn a salary of tens of thousands, and I can only do manual work to find a job, just like you. ”

"Can I make friends with you? I don't mean anything else, it's the kind of person who can talk when you're free. ”

"Of course, thank you for today." She lifted her pocket high with one hand, stunned again.

"I believe you, I must have done manual work. Come inside, it's time for me to go on patrol. ”

She nodded and entered the door.
