Chapter 1: Standing at Thirty
As the saying goes, a man stands at thirty.
Seeing that I was about to reach the age of 30, I was still alone, with a university diploma, and I was refused to ask for me by several companies, and finally, with the help of my fellow villagers, I found a job driving a bus in the city bus company.
He became the youngest bus driver in the entire company.
The colleagues around me were also dragging their children and daughters, and seeing that I was alone, the enthusiastic aunt in the canteen introduced me to a migrant girl from the village.
After a few meals, we put the marriage on the agenda, but their family did not let go of the bride price, and I had to have my trouser pockets cleaner than my face, so I quarreled with her.
After drinking a little wine, I simply took a leave of absence and went back to the dormitory to sleep.
There is everything in the dream, and the daughter-in-law in the dream does not want a bride price.
I was sleeping soundly, and I was preparing for the night of candles in the cave room, when a piercing ringing mobile phone woke me up from my sleep.
With my eyes open in a daze, I reached out and flicked the eye droppings off the corner of my eyes, and saw the alarm clock to remind me of the shift going off, in addition to several calls from Team Chen.
I didn't want to reply to the phone, after all, Team Chen's search for me at this time was nothing more than urging me to go to work quickly, so it was the same whether I replied or not.
I got out of bed in a daze, washed my face and went to work.
On the way from the dormitory to the company, I heard a lot of people discussing something, and from their expressions and tones, I could tell that the company was about to have a good thing.
Meddlesome?
There will be something good in the company, and even if there is a good thing, it will not fall on my head.
After thinking about it, I still came to the company's shift office, and saw a lot of people around the bulletin board, and everyone was talking about it.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, there were still several hours before I worked overtime, and I didn't wake up, so I found a bench and sat in the corner to close my eyes and recuperate.
The discussion around the bulletin board grew louder and louder, but a few words crept into my ears.
"Recently, we asked us to add a bus route, and those who are willing to drive this bus will be given an extra 150 per day and a meal subsidy of 20 yuan per day, who will?"
As soon as the words fell, I knew that this matter had nothing to do with me.
Most of the company's drivers drag their children and daughters, and they usually fight for whoever earns 10 yuan more, not to mention that this is so bright that it is a lot of money.
I didn't sit for a while before I became sleepy, and naturally missed the discussion that followed.
When I finally continued the unfinished dream, I dreamed that my little daughter-in-law was touching my face with her soft hand, but the feel was a little rough, she smiled sweetly at me and said: "I'm still sleeping, and if I don't get up, I will deduct your salary!" ”
Awakened in an instant, I opened my eyes, and sure enough, I saw Team Chen's face.
Team Chen looked at me with a very kind gaze today, and patted me on the shoulder very hard: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be reliable at a critical time, and I really didn't hurt you in vain." I'll leave the new route to you. ”
Scratching my head, I put on a smiling face: "Team Chen, don't make fun of me." Next time I definitely won't sleep during work hours anymore. ”
Team Chen also laughed with me, and stretched out his hand to the bulletin board: "What are you talking about, how can I be so young as you that young people can have fun." See if you wrote your name on that piece of paper. ”
Following Team Chen's gaze, I saw a new document posted on the bulletin board, with my big name - Liang Fan written brightly underneath.
"Team Chen, this is a misunderstanding......"
Team Chen interrupted me a little impatiently, and waved his hand, "Xiao Liang, your name is written anyway, or you can drive this car." Besides, you have a headache recently because of the bride price, but you don't want to make more extra money, when and what month can you earn enough bride price to marry your daughter-in-law. ”
When other colleagues heard this, their eyes lit up, and they echoed Team Chen.
"That's it, Xiao Liang, this is a good opportunity for you to praise the bride price, otherwise I will see when and when you can marry a daughter-in-law with that salary."
"Don't say that your brothers don't love you in the future, this good thing will be given to you."
"I think it's decided, my car is going to drive, I'll go first."
The people around the bulletin board were swept away in an instant, leaving me and Team Chen.
Team Chen handed me a new route and patted me on the shoulder again: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this route, it's just that it's a night shift, and the end point is in a suburban reservoir." But the road was very quiet and there was no trouble, it was a good opportunity from God. ”
"And for the sake of your kid being so kind, I applied to give you three hundred a day, how about the weekly settlement? The above is also urging this matter in a hurry, you can start doing it tonight. ”
Three hundred a day, almost nine thousand a month!
I'm afraid that if I am two years younger, I will be able to earn the bride price money and live a life with my wife and children.
The anger that was calculated disappeared in an instant, and I took out the fake Yuxi from my pocket and handed it to Team Chen: "Thank you Team Chen for looking up to me, if there is anything to say in the future, I will definitely saddle the horse and the horse." ”
Team Chen smiled and patted me on the shoulder, then turned to leave.
The salary suddenly increased by more than half, and my cooking skills at noon also swaggered, and I ordered the pork ribs and braised pork that I usually couldn't give up at all, and sat in the middle of the hall in the eyes of a group of people who were envious, jealous and hateful.
Although I don't know which dead boy wrote my name under the file, but now I just want to thank each other.
A pair of chopsticks reached for the largest rib before me, and then Zhang Lezi sat next to me with his arms around my shoulders, biting the bone in his mouth and clattering.
"I heard you picked up the bus? Boy, you're so daring. Zhang Lezi spit the bones in his mouth on the table and lowered his voice, "You have been calculated!" Think about who you've offended lately! ”
I guarded the plate and looked at him: "Are you jealous of me?" ”
"Jealousy. Phew, it's really a new egg. Zhang Lezi wanted to clip my ribs again, but after I blocked it, he bit his chopsticks and lowered his voice, "Why don't you think about why other people don't leave this kind of good thing to you, is it because you are more handsome than us, or because you are a few bars longer than us." ”
Zhang Lezi lowered his voice between words, which actually made me feel a chill in my back in the middle of the day.
Then I saw him take another piece of my ribs.
"You can scare me by making up ghost stories, believe it or not, I'll make you another one even more terrifying." I protected the ribs in front of me, in case Zhang Leper took another piece for me.
Zhang Lezi bit the head of the chopsticks and muttered in his mouth: "New eggs!" Then he turned away.
Staring at his leper head, I found that the colleagues around me didn't seem to look at me with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and I couldn't help but retreat.
Buzz –
When my phone rang, I gritted my teeth when I saw a text message from my girlfriend about breaking up without a bride price.
For the sake of my wife, I fought hard.
I stayed in the dormitory until eleven o'clock, kicked two boxes of cool oil in my trouser pocket, and got into the driver's seat of the No. 4 bus.
What if what Zhang Lezi said is true?
The face of the old man asking for a bride price is more terrible than a ghost.
As I drove through the guard room, I suddenly saw a face behind the security guard, smiling at me.
