Chapter 13 Human Affection
When she got home from work, Hongli was not there, so she had to make the stove by herself.
It was already 7 o'clock before Hongli entered the door. Gu Yulan asked, "Why did you come back?" ”
Hongli was disappreciative and said, "Mom, it's only 7 o'clock, and you're still too late." ”
Gu Yulan said: "How many times have I told you, don't be greedy for black, don't be greedy for black, why don't you go to your heart!" ”
Hongli said: "Mom, Xiaoqian and Caixia arrived home early at 9 o'clock. ”
Gu Yulan said: "Xiaoqian and Caixia go out on the main road, the lights are on, and there are many people; You're out in a long, dark alley – it's not safe. ”
Hongli said: "Mom, it's okay, I'll run as soon as I enter the alley, and there are bad people who don't have a problem with me." ”
Gu Yulan said: "Run...... Running is not the way, you still have to be careful, don't give bad people a chance to do bad things. ”
Hongli said: "Nowadays, people are either relatives, friends, classmates, or colleagues, they all have their own circles, and it is impossible not to participate in anything. As for you, you have neither relatives nor friends, and a few colleagues are still sweeping, and you don't want to stay at home and have nowhere to go, so you can only ...... Eh! Mom, are you making fried fish again? ”
The fried fish made by Gu Yulan is the kind of wild small white fish that is only about 10 centimeters long and between one and two centimeters wide.
Gu Yulan said: "Don't take off your clothes quickly." ”
Hongli took off her down jacket, and as soon as she came to the kang, she used her thumb and index finger to pick up one from the disk placed on the small kang table and put it in her mouth, chewing and saying: "Mom, the fried fish you made is golden in color, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and fragrant, salty and light, it can be called a must!" ”
Gu Yulan said: "If you don't wash your hands, you will catch it, if you let outsiders see it, maybe it will be a joke!" ”
Hongli said, "What's the joke? Thousands of years ago, people ate fish, maybe they used both hands and feet! Today I am elegant enough to use only my hands. ”
Gu Yulan sat on the edge of the kang and said, "Even if no one laughs at it, it has to be like that." What habits are cultivated. It's twenty-one when you talk, and when you have a partner, you can marry someone else's family, and you can do whatever you want! ”
Hongli said, "Why not? What's the matter, there is no freedom when you go to others? ”
Gu Yulan said: "It's not that there is no freedom, but you have to check everywhere. ”
Hongli said: "Mom, I usually go out with you, look at the age, nine out of ten people think we are sisters, no one would think that you are just like sisters in age, but your thinking is more old-fashioned than that of grandma's generation." ”
Gu Yulan said: "I'm not old-fashioned, I'm afraid that you will become accustomed to nature and have rules." No matter what era it is, women are always dignified and virtuous. ”
Hongli said: "Mom, wouldn't it be dignified and unvirtuous if I caught a small fish with my hands and ate it?" Maybe some people like it! ”
Gu Yulan said: "It's just ...... I'm afraid that such a person is not a good man either. Listen to your mother, you must pay attention to your behavior when you go out in the future. ”
Hongli was afraid that Gu Yulan would continue to talk about it, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Mom, you teach me when you fry fish again." ”
Gu Yulan said: "Look at you, you're hungry." Didn't eat at noon, right? ”
Hongli threw the fish bone pinched between her fingers on the table and said, "Mom, you didn't say it right this time. Today I went to find Xiaoqian, and at noon I had a treat, and she paid for it. ”
Gu Yulan sighed softly and said, "She pays?" Nowadays, people pay attention to etiquette and exchanges, although you and Xiao Qian Caixia are classmates, friends, and have a good relationship, but if they always invite you, you don't invite them, after a long time, they just don't say it, and they will be unhappy in their hearts, and even look down on you - this is not good. ”
Hongli said, "What's wrong? As far as you think about it, they both go to work to earn money, so please me first; When I get to work and earn money, I'll hire them both again - that's the end of it. ”
Gu Yulan said: "Please ...... The words are good, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait for the invitation, and people have already ......"
Hongli said: "Mom, according to your wishes, if they invite me to dinner again, I can only refuse?" ”
Gu Yulan said: "You don't have to refuse too much, it will hurt people, but try to avoid it if you can avoid it." From ancient times to the present, the goodness of good friends is generally inseparable from status and money. Have you ever seen a high-ranking official with a poor friend? Have you ever seen a lady with a poor relative? No. They invite you to be their heart, and you invite them to be your heart. If they always invite you and you don't invite them, you have no intention of it. ”
Hongli said, "Mom, you...... Why do you always live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Do you think our generation is as stingy as yours? You haven't seen Xiaoqian and Caixia rush to pay every time they invite me to dinner, if you did, you wouldn't say that. ”
Although Gu Yulan knew that Hongli was too superficial to think so, it was wrong. If she had heard her daughter say the above words a few years ago, she would have been criticized. However, today she didn't say anything more. Because Hongli is older, Gu Yulan knows that she already has her own thoughts, her own ideas, if she can't be convinced, it is useless to rely on criticism alone.
It was almost 9 o'clock before Gu Yulan went to the kang to rest. Although she didn't tell Hongli about falling down the ladder and being rescued during the day, after lying down, she couldn't help but think: "It's really thanks to Dr. Su today, if he hadn't saved me, I wouldn't ...... I don't know where I'm lying now! Then he thought, "I don't know what happened to Dr. Su's hand?" What if this affects his work? "I thought about it and didn't fall asleep until midnight.
The next day, Gu Yulan walked half an hour earlier than the previous day, and went to the cleaning team to change into a blue coat and go to her own responsibility area. She had been thinking about Dr. Su's injury, and wanted to wait while working, and when she saw him, she could ask if his injury was better.
However, it was past 11:30 in the morning, and she didn't see Su Shibi, afraid that Su Shibi would come before her in the morning, so Gu Yulan waited until more than 12 o'clock, and was sure that Su Shihua definitely didn't come in the morning, so she left Building E and returned to the cleaning team to eat.
couldn't get Su Shihua's news, Gu Yulan couldn't rest assured. Thinking that Dr. Su didn't come in the morning, maybe he might come in the afternoon, Gu Yulan hurriedly finished eating and returned to the responsible area. In the corridor on the 6th floor, on the surface, she was wiping here and there, but she was actually waiting for Su Shihua.
It's a pity that she was disappointed again, after getting off work, the people on the 6th floor were gone, and she didn't see the shadow of Dr. Su - the second day after being rescued passed like this.
In order to meet Dr. Su in the corridor, Gu Yulan still left home early on the third day of being rescued. However, she still didn't see Su Shihua that morning.
Several times she wanted to find someone to ask, "Why didn't Dr. Su come?" Is his injury better? It's just that she couldn't open her mouth after all, because she knew that she didn't deserve to ask.
At noon, when Gu Yulan returned to the cleaning team, several people had already returned after eating, and as soon as she entered the door, Zhang Feng'e asked: "Master Gu, why is it so coincidental, just in time for Dr. Su to come up and you fell?" ”
Gu Yulan didn't squeak.
Dong Guihua said: "Don't say it, this fall is really out of reason, otherwise, we will always have to do the work of wiping the ceiling lamp." ”
Zhang Feng'e said, "Master Gu, you didn't mean it, right? ”
At this time, Wang Yaru walked in.
Dong Guihua said: "Don't die? ”
Zhang Feng'e said: "Tsk! Master Gu is really lucky, I heard that Dr. Su was desperate to save you, and he held you like that for a long time before letting go, why didn't I catch up with such a thing? ”
Wang Yaru said: "Don't be afraid if you don't catch up, if you are greedy, you will also fold down the ladder this afternoon." ”
Zhang Feng'e pursed her lips and said, "Mom! I don't have the guts. Besides, look at me like this, who will save me! ”
Wang Yaru said: "Since you don't have the guts, and you know that you don't look good, why is your mouth so pointy?" ”
Everyone in the room laughed.
Zhang Feng'e said: "I just don't understand, one falls, and the other catches." Why is it so right? ”
Wang Yaru said: "This is called luck. Look at it, if you don't die in a great disaster, there will be a blessing in the future. Sister Gu's good days are ahead! ”
Zhang Feng'e said: "What a good day? It's a big deal to change the broom in my right hand to my left hand, I don't believe it can still be ...... And ......."
Although there was a lot of noise in the house, Gu Yulan didn't seem to hear it, and she began to eat. However, she closed the lid on the lunch box when she was only halfway through the meal. She couldn't eat it. For a few days, Dr. Su's hand injury weighed on her heart like a stone.
On the way back to the responsible area, Gu Yulan thought, "What can I do?" I wonder what Dr. Su will be like? Then he thought, "I'm waiting...... Waiting is not the way to go. He was wounded by me, and if I didn't even look at him and waited like this, then ...... So what have I become? ”
Over the years, what Gu Yulan is most afraid of is owing favors. In the past, except for borrowing more than 10,000 yuan of foreign debts with interest from others for her mother's treatment, no matter how difficult her life was, she always endured it silently and never opened her mouth to beg for help.
Therefore, after being rescued this time, while rejoicing that she escaped death and feeling grateful, she also had a sense of debt. Especially when she thought of the injury on Dr. Su's hand, she felt even more debted in her heart.
