，！

A year and a half later.

In the cramped and dilapidated room, there is rain seeping through the ceiling, the sound of kettles tumbling coals, and the smell of dampness in the room, even if the windows are open and the cold wind pours in, the air is still not circulating.

I coughed and got out of bed, feeling that the gas was a little choking, so I went over and lifted the kettle and closed the coal stove again.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and I immediately looked up, put down the tongs and walked towards the door.

There was a forty-year-old aunt standing at the door, and she smiled and said, "Kaiyan, it's time to go to work." ”

I glanced at the time, and it was already eight o'clock.

I smiled at her and said, "Aunt Jiang, you wait." As soon as she had finished speaking, she turned back, grabbed her clothes and keys, turned off the light as she went, and closed the door.

I followed Aunt Jiang to walk outside in the wind and snow, and I couldn't help coughing as I walked.

When Aunt Jiang heard my cough, she looked at me and asked me, "Kaiyan, do you have a cold?" ”

I glanced at her, wrapped my clothes a little tighter, and said, "It's not a big deal, just a little cold." ”

Aunt Jiang said, "You have to go to the doctor, don't hold back." ”

In response to my aunt's advice, I smiled and said, "I know." At this time, the two of them said that they had already walked to the convenience store, and I immediately changed the topic and said, "Aunt Jiang, then I'll go to the cashier." ”

Aunt Jiang nodded, and went into the convenience store with me, but I was in the front cashier, and she went to the back to get a mop, a bucket, and a rag to clean up.

I didn't just have a cold, but also had a fever, I stood there with a dizzy head, but there were so many people who bought breakfast and bread in the morning that I couldn't rest, so I could only try to get up and scan the code on that same thing.

By the time it was close to ten o'clock, I was already dizzy, and my whole person even had a tendency to fall backwards.

At the same time, when Xiao He saw that my face was pale like this, he hurriedly came over and said, "Kaiyan, are you okay?" You look terrible. ”

I looked at her and smiled at her, "No, nothing, I'll just take a sip of hot water." ”

I'm afraid of adding trouble to her, after all, she is busy enough, if she gets sick, Xiao He will definitely have to take the shift for me, there are two people in total, how can she be busy.

I took advantage of the fact that there was no one at this time, so I took the cup to the water dispenser to pour hot water, about half a cup, and when I was about to drink, the world was spinning again, and my first reaction was to grab the flower shelf of the cabinet next to me.

Xiao He saw that the situation was not right, so she immediately walked over, hugged me and said, "Kaiyan, you better go to the hospital to have a look, you can't do this." ”

A person came out of the office, it was the manager of the convenience store, and when she saw the situation, she hurriedly asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Xiao He looked at her, nodded vigorously and said, "Store manager, I was uncomfortable and almost fainted." ”

The people here are quite good, and the store manager has no srest, so he immediately said to Xiao He: "Xiao He, you take Kaiyan to the hospital, and I will take care of the two of you." ”

Xiao He no longer hesitated, helped me and walked out, and the store manager was also there to help, and stopped a taxi outside.

Xiao He helped me into the car, and then the car quickly rushed to the hospital.

In the car, I didn't have the strength to speak at all, leaning on the dizzy, Xiao He kept urging the driver to drive faster.

After the car arrived at the hospital, Xiao He took me to see the doctor, took my temperature, and finally concluded that the fever reached 40 degrees and needed infusion and medicine.

Xiao He was scared to death by me, but fortunately she came to the hospital in time, she helped me to the hall for infusion, because she had to help me go to the window to get medicine, so she put a bottle of mineral water in front of me, and told me to get up and leave.

After that, I stayed there and sat there, and the nurse came and put needles in me.

The nurse didn't stop next to me after the needle was inserted, and went to take care of the patient who was being injected.

I was left sitting alone, looking at the slightly empty infusion hall, I was in a daze, I didn't know what I was thinking, anyway, I was in a state of wandering all the time.

After Xiao He came back from receiving the medicine, he saw me sitting there in a daze, so he said, "Are you hungry?" ”

I came back to my senses and immediately looked at her and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

She was about to put it next to me and said, "I'd better buy you some breakfast first, or it's not good to take medicine on an empty stomach." ”

Xiao He was busy buying breakfast for me again, looking at her hurried back, her originally terrible mood, but for some reason it got a little better.

The biggest takeaway from this year or so should be this group of colleagues, mutual friendship and a lot of help, I think, without them, it would be difficult for me to survive in such a situation.

After Xiao He came back from buying breakfast, he couldn't accompany me here much, and he had to go to the store manager to take over, so I asked her to go first.

After she left, I was biting on the pickle bun and taking the medicine.

In the past, this kind of thing was difficult for me to swallow, but now I don't pay attention to the taste, as long as it fills my stomach.

The infusion was almost two o'clock, and after two o'clock, I took the bus home by myself.

This is a tourist city, and the place where we live is very close to the tourist attractions, the bus is extremely crowded, I was dizzy, was caught in the middle, and the car bumps almost vomited, but fortunately, about ten minutes, I got off the bus, I went straight to the dormitory, not daring to stay outside for a second longer.

When he got home, he turned on the fire, opened the window, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the evening, Xiao He and his aunt got off work, and the two of them came to cook hot pot on the stove in my house, and several people surrounded the fire, I thought that Xiao He gave me the medical expenses during the day today, and I didn't give her the money, so I quickly took two hundred from under the mattress to Xiao He.

Xiao He naturally didn't shirk it, she said with a smile: "Kaiyan, I really can't get sick, our salary is only two thousand yuan a month, and this one is sick, so I went to two hundred, and I have to pay rent, water and electricity, and I have to eat the rest, where is there more savings." ”

Aunt Jiang threw vegetables into the pot and said, "So, it's better to wear more, but don't freeze, you can't afford to go to the hospital now." ”

I actually didn't have any appetite at all, so I sat by the fire with a bowl in my arms, and in order to get some heat, I also fished the vegetables in the pot and said, "Anyway, I don't have to spend anything by myself, and I have saved all my salary last month, so I can barely live a good life." ”

Xiao He said: "Kaiyan, don't you have to go home to see?" We all go back to see our family every month off, and you seem to be in the dorm all the time, and you haven't seen you anywhere. ”

I've only been here for half a year.

Aunt Jiang also looked at me.

They still don't know much about the situation in my family, and I haven't told them, so I subconsciously scooped my chopsticks in the pot and said, "My parents died very early, and I am the only daughter in the family, and I have no relatives, so I don't have to go home." ”

They looked at me and me, but they didn't speak.

probably felt that it was sad to poke me, and Aunt Jiang immediately said: "Kaiyan, you and Xiao He will go to my house for dinner in a week, and I will make dumplings for you." ”

Xiao He hugged the bowl and smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay." ”

For her invitation, he naturally smiled happily and said, "Okay, definitely." The three of them sat down on the stove and talked and laughed.

The hot pot was eaten quickly, because I had to go to work tomorrow, so we all cleaned up together, and Aunt Jiang and Xiao He went out of my room together.

When they left, I didn't feel sleepy, I just sat there and started reading job ads in the newspaper.

After returning to China, I applied for countless companies, but I don't know why, and my resume is always lost.

Although my colleagues here are very loving, it is not a place to stay for a long time, so I can only find a job in the newspaper every night to see if I can find a suitable one.

The next day, the store manager was afraid that I was not in good health, so he gave me another day off and let me rest here, so I took advantage of this rare time to apply for jobs at several companies I found last night.

It's all small companies, offices and stuff like that.

I rarely adjusted my state to meet the applicants, and I wanted to boldly show my prepared rhetoric in front of them, but after the other party turned to my resume, he frowned, and he threw my resume and said: "I have no work experience at all, why do you come here to apply?" We require people with three years of experience, familiar with various office software, and quick work, and people like you are completely not good. ”

I didn't expect this to be the case again, I immediately said: "I am familiar with office software, I can also speak English, you are a foreign trade company, and there is no problem in communicating with customers." ”

The interviewer didn't bother to listen to me, so he threw my resume in front of me and said, "Okay, don't meet the requirements, don't waste our time." ”

He began to report the next one.

I sat there stunned for a few seconds, didn't think much about it, and got up with my resume.

It doesn't matter that there is the next one, I went to another company to apply, but it is still the case, after the other party saw my resume, he still threw my resume back without saying anything, and this time he didn't even give a reason.

I don't know what went wrong, but it seems that this is the result of my job application in the year after returning to Japan.

At first, I thought it was because I didn't have work experience, but then I found out that it didn't seem to be all, and it was more like someone was rejected.

I guess those shouldn't be so boring, do they? And they didn't know when I came back, this is not in City A, how can there be that possibility?

I really couldn't figure it out, so I thought there was a problem on my resume for the time being, so I shook my head and went back to the convenience store.

Xiao He, who was at the cashier, didn't expect that I didn't rest in the dormitory, she swept the goods in her hand and asked, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”

I changed into work clothes there, smiled at Xiao He and said, "I'm bored, and I will deduct half a day's salary for half a day off, so it's better to come here to work for half a day." ”

It's not busy today, it's very leisurely, and there are only four or five customers paying.

I paid at another cash register next to me.

Xiao He smiled and said, "Yes, you are telling the truth." ”

The two of them moved quickly, and the five paying guests took a minute or two to get it done, and after that, everyone stood there bored and gathered to chat.

Aunt Jiang said that she wanted to arrange a blind date for me and Xiao He, and asked what type of two of us wanted.

Hearing this, I smiled, but Xiao He smiled and asked, "What kind of do you have?" ”

Aunt Jiang said: "Tall, thin, fat, short, all have a good family background, recently this is the best batch of resources in my hands, of course I want to give it to you." ”

Aunt Jiang is a well-known matchmaker in this neighborhood, and most of the couples in the nearby residences are matchmakers made by Aunt Jiang.

Xiao He naturally believed Aunt Jiang's words, and listening was the best resource, so he said: "Kaiyan and I naturally want to be high." ”

At this time, a bunch of men and women came in the convenience store, it seemed that they were couples, and we didn't watch much, the two of us went to the side to pick up things, and the three of us still gathered there and chatted.

Aunt Jiang was interested when she saw Xiao He, and she also picked up the eloquence of being a matchmaker and began to fall into the sky.

"Tall, 1.83 meters, and your height is matching, and you look like a talent, graduated from college students, currently working in earnest, Xiao He and Kaiyan, if you go to see each other, you must not find fault, the other party's family background is also good, there is a house and a car in the city."

"Oh?" Xiao He's eyes lit up, and he was completely energetic.

At this time, there were two slender hands, holding two bottles of mineral water on the cash register, and whispered: "Pay." ”

Xiao He didn't move, he was still talking to Aunt Jiang about the golden beetle son-in-law, rich and handsome, naturally I could only be the cashier, I lowered my head and scanned the code of the two bottles of water, then looked up and smiled at the customer and said, "This gentleman, a total of four-"

Before I could fully utter my words, I paused.

The other party was taking the money with his eyes down, about no change, and he asked, "Is it okay for a hundred?" "The voice is neither high nor low, slightly cold.

He looked up to look at me, my hand suddenly tightened, I immediately lowered my head, did not answer, and took the initiative to take the hundred yuan in his hand.

He didn't look at me much, but said to his female companion next to him: "You may get dizzy when you take the car up the mountain, do you need motion sickness medicine?" ”

The female companion beside him smiled heartily and said, "No, just two bottles of water." ”

He hummed and didn't ask any more.

At this time, I also gave him all the money.

He took it, carried two bottles of water, and led his female companion outside.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, and the female companion beside her asked, "Qingchuan, what's wrong?" ”

With a hint of weariness between his eyebrows, he said, "It's nothing, let's go." And he went on his way out.

There was a black car parked outside, the driver was waiting, the two walked straight towards the car, the man was very gentlemanly, and waited for the female companion to bend into the car first, and waited for the other party to sit down, he bent over and sat in.

The white-gloved driver carefully closed the door and tightened into the car.

The car drove away from the convenience store.

Xiao He, who had been chattering before, didn't know when it quieted down, so he immediately came to me, looked out and said, "Damn, so handsome, it's still a luxury car!" And the driver, what kind of plot is this in an idol drama. ”

My hands were shaking all the time, my body was sweating inexplicably, and I didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao He shook me excitedly and said, "Open face! Do you see the man and the woman? The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, the man is really temperamental. ”
