Chapter Twenty-Four: In Today's Society, Don't Believe in Tears
On the fifth day of the first month, it was sunny.
The first rays of the morning sun shone through the pink curtains into the bedroom, and I stretched and yawned and opened my eyes.
On the opposite wall, the wedding photos of the proprietress are more clear, and in the high-definition photos, I can even see the fine fluff on the boss's face.
Take a closer look, in fact, the proprietress in the photo is really beautiful, there is no such charm as now, there is more endless innocence and smiles, I was thinking, this wedding photo, was it taken by the proprietress to play, or her previous wedding photo?
Just as I was thinking, I heard the footsteps of the proprietress who woke up early and knocked on my door to say that my clothes and pants had been dried, and she helped me put them on the hanger outside the door.
Then, the proprietress walked away, I waited for a while and couldn't hear the footsteps, then wrapped in the quilt to open the door, quickly took the clothes and pants back and put them on, made up the bed, glanced at the fragrant bed, and said that I probably won't have the chance to sleep in this bed in the future, and some reluctant emotions arise.
Out of the bedroom, I saw the hostess waiting for me in the dining room, she had already prepared soy milk fritters, changed into a stylish light white trench coat, and had a car key on the dining table.
"After eating, I'll take you to buy some clothes and shoes." While eating breakfast, the proprietress said lightly: "You don't want all your personal belongings before, you have to start from scratch in your new life, and wait for your sister to take you to the hair salon and give you a good hair." ”
"I ......"
I chewed the fritters, feeling the sweetness in my mouth, the feeling that the proprietress was closer than my own mother, and suddenly hit my heart, and for the first time in these years, I had a flood of emotions to find mother's love.
"Don't think I'm giving it for free." Seeing my touched appearance, the proprietress patted the table and said seriously: "These expenses have to be deducted from your salary, plus the cost of your drunkenness, anyway, you owe me too much, just work hard for my sister in the bar, don't think about anything, my sister will take care of you, you know?" ”
A sister will take care of you, which instantly warmed my heart.
I said I know, don't look over it, and bit my lip so hard that I don't let myself be so fragile that I want to shed tears.
I found that my emotions were not as strong as I imagined, and I was a poor worm without the love of my parents, and I was lucky to meet a good person like the boss.
Inadvertently, I swiped the proprietress with a good person card.
After breakfast, the proprietress drove me to the largest shopping mall in the county in her Geely car, she first took me to do my hair, made my hairstyle very energetic, and led me to walk around the mall for a morning, buying a lot of daily necessities and clothes, pants, shoes and socks I needed, and the shopping bag was full of the trunk of the car.
I roughly calculated, and the total value of the items that the proprietress bought for me was close to 5,000 yuan, which was my total income from three months of work-study in her bar.
When I went shopping in the morning, the proprietress didn't buy her any items, and the clothes, pants, shoes and socks she bought for me were not brand-name, but they were more advanced than the stalls I used to wear.
The proprietress told me not to feel distressed, she said that in this world, I can't be a delicate male god, but I also have to be a decent man.
And I, she positioned me at the level of a decent man, and the proprietress bought me a mobile phone worth 1,500 yuan when she went out of the mall, and she said that it was inconvenient for me to contact without a mobile phone.
Of course, the proprietress was grateful when she saw me, and she still said that all the money would be deducted from my salary.
"Boss, how much do I owe you?"
When I got into the car, at the moment when the boss started the car, I said very seriously: "I will return every penny to you, this money, every penny, is the deep friendship of the boss lady to me." ”
The proprietress smiled, without the perfunctory smile of the bar, and smiled really well.
She smiled and said: "I am a businessman, there is no deep friendship, you have to pay me back, and I don't owe anything." If you must feel that you have to pay it back, then the account has to be calculated from the beginning, for example, if you live in a bar in the future, the accommodation fee for each night; For example, what I eat in the future, what you eat, this living expenses ......"
"Boss, I'll give it all back to you!" I didn't want to choke, but my unassuming tone cried again.
No one can understand that I am homeless, but also touched by the help of non-relatives, I squeezed my fist hard, when the boss lady looked at me seriously, I did not shy away from her gaze, word by word: "From today on, the boss lady, my life, is yours!" ”
I'm not joking, the grace of knowing the encounter should be reciprocated, the proprietress is kind to me, so that my heart is full of blood, I never thought about who to give my life to, but today, I really decided, my life, is the boss's wife's.
"Hehe, you're such a child!"
The proprietress smiled slightly, reached out and patted me on the head, shook her head and said, "Your life is your own, there is only one life, don't hand over your life to others at every turn." Well, don't look like you're going to cry with red eyes, in today's society, don't believe in tears! ”
I hurriedly wiped the moisture from the corners of my eyes and tried to tell myself to keep my emotions in check.
The proprietress drove the car out of the shopping mall, she opened the window to let the wind into the car, and saw that I was still adjusting my mood, and she didn't say anything more.
When I showed a grateful smile, the proprietress glanced at me and said profoundly: "I've been with you for more than half a year, you are a good boy, and the proprietress hopes that from now on, you can smile naturally and happily like just now." ”
I nodded fiercely, and with a happy smile on my face, I didn't dare to tell the proprietress that from this moment on, I had already regarded her as my family.
Perhaps, only people who have no family can appreciate my feelings.
"Also, no matter what you do in the future, you have to think that your life is my boss's wife's, you can't give up lightly, and you can't fight for your life impulsively, understand?"
The proprietress lit a cigarette and stuffed it into my mouth as I just wanted to speak, she smiled, shook her head and said nothing, she already knew what I wanted to say.
A stream of sunlight shone on the face of the proprietress through the car window, and I held a cigarette and stared at the proprietress like a demented child, and suddenly felt that she was so beautiful and beautiful, that kind of beauty, just like the mother I watched when I was a child, warm and sunny.
Without saying a word, the hostess drove me back to her house and asked me to put my newly bought clothes, pants, shoes and socks in the bedroom where I slept before, saying that from now on, this bedroom is my room, and if I don't want to stay at the bar, I can go home and sleep.
She said the word 'home' very seriously, and I was grateful again and inexplicably hummed, and there was no need to thank the proprietress in words, everything was in plain sight.
That night, I stayed in the bedroom that the hostess had vacated for me, and although I could sleep in the bar, I still felt much better than the fragrant bed and warm bed.
In order to repay the proprietress for her kindness to me, from that day on, I worked more seriously and responsibly in the bar, even if it was late, I would not leave work at eleven o'clock, I had to wait until the proprietress got off work together, and then did not let her drink and drive, so I walked home with her.
On the way home, the proprietress would sometimes mention some of her previous stories to me, and instead of talking about love, she would talk about some social experiences and the past of some female girlfriends.
And I, too, occasionally tell the proprietress about the past when I was with Zhang Dewu, and I never mentioned Su Yuner again, and I wouldn't deliberately think of Su Yuner.
Ten days like this are ten days at a time.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
At noon that day, I received a call from Zhang Dewu at the bar, and he told me with great interest that he would be able to return to the county tonight.
Since I saw Zhang Dewu on the first day of the first lunar month, I haven't seen him for half a month, I miss him very much, so I invited him to come back on the phone and come to the bar to find me as soon as possible.
Zhang Dewu agreed and said that he would bring me a little surprise.
Hung up Zhang Dewu's phone, I immediately called Bi Dada, since I had a mobile phone, and Bi Dafa has been in contact every day, because I know that Grandpa Han was not beaten by Leng Bancheng, Bi Dada has the same mind as me, that is, I want to know who the beater is.
But I didn't want to see Leng Bancheng, and my attitude would not change at all, he knew that I had no contact with Su Yun'er now, and he heard me say that Su Yun'er was dating Leng Bancheng, and Bi Dafa didn't force me, he said that he would find a way to find out who the beater was.
"Developed, Brother Wu is coming back in the evening, I'll let him come to the bar to find me." After calling Bi Fa, I happily invited him to come over for a party in the evening.
Bi Dada said that there was no problem, he hadn't seen Zhang Dewu for a long time, and said that he would come over with Liu Xiaoting.
"Why did Liu Xiaoting come with you?" I asked curiously, Liu Xiaoting has not been to the bar since Leng Yuanhang was beaten that night, I have a mobile phone, and I have only chatted with her twice on WeChat.
"Because, hee hee ......" Bi Da said with a smile: "Liu Xiaoting promised me today, willing to associate with me, brother, when you see Liu Xiaoting at night, you should call her sister-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law?
I was stunned, followed by an indescribable sourness in my heart, I tasted it, but I didn't expect Liu Xiaoting to agree to have a relationship with Bi Dada.
"Haha, I knew you would be surprised, even I was surprised." Bi Da Da smiled on the other side of the phone, saying that he had pursued Liu Xiaoting in the same school for more than half a year, and Liu Xiaoting had refused every time before, but he never thought that Liu Xiaoting would take the initiative to send a message this morning to promise to be Bi Da Fa's girlfriend.
"That ......" I took a deep breath, although my heart was sour, but I still gave Bi Da a blessing: "Brother, Liu Xiaoting is a good girl, treat her well, I wish you happiness!" ”
After saying that, I hung up the phone with trembling hands, and an indescribable bitterness in my heart spread quickly throughout my body like thunder, and soon hit my head with pain.
I rubbed my temples vigorously, leaned my body against the wall of the bar weakly, and Liu Xiaoting's beautiful smile appeared in my mind, I must admit that in fact, I like Liu Xiaoting more, since junior high school, this ignorant like has occupied the bottom of my heart.
It's just that I don't have the courage to confess to Liu Xiaoting like Bi Fa, I thought she understood, every time I was with her, I would be a little shy, and there were very few times I really looked at Liu Xiaoting, because every time I saw her beautiful big eyes, I was afraid that I would sink into it.
On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, when I found out in the morning that I was hugging Liu Xiaoting, the primitive impulse was second, and it was definitely the kind of restlessness that only in the face of the girl I liked in my heart.
Also, Liu Xiaoting's care and protection for me at the bar that night, in fact, I saw it in my eyes, I really want to tell her, Liu Xiaoting, do you know, in fact, when I was in junior high school, I secretly followed you home many times, I like you!
But I don't dare, because I don't have a father or mother, I don't even have a home, I have low self-esteem, I have a deep inferiority complex in my bones, and in the face of Liu Xiaoting, I can only silently like her in my heart.
I wiped my face vigorously, and then squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying at the mirror of the bar.
"Liu Xiaoting, bless you!"
I gritted my teeth fiercely, and a bloody smell instantly diffused in my mouth, I gritted my teeth so hard that I bit out all my tooth blood, and the fishy tooth blood reminded me that Liu Xiaoting is my sister-in-law!
She is no longer the goddess I like in my heart, Liu Xiaoting, who belongs to my brother Bi Dada.
In addition to blessings, I can only bless!
