Official author
In the early morning, a slight wind blew, and the sunlight shone through the transparent window and fell into a small flower pot.
The fresh buds swayed from side to side, overflowing with emerald green breath, as if shouting loudly to the sun and the breeze: a life has broken through the ground.
Yiyu took some water from a cup and walked over, and gently sprinkled it on the brittle and tender buds, not daring to water too much, for fear that the water would bend the buds, and this bud that had miraculously grown.
After watering, she grabbed her bag and left the house, ready to go to the editorial office.
All along, I have shrunk in a corner in the face of everything, procrastinating.
When she returned from her aunt's, she suddenly understood when she saw the small sprouts on the balcony that had not been taken care of for several days.
The periwinkle she has always liked, is so eager for new life in the face of the sun, but she has never been able to compare with even a star of this flower.
Yiyu felt too ashamed, she started to work so hard to correct the name of the article she wrote, and when she succeeded, she didn't contribute at all.
She wrote the book, and "Wonderful Deeds" was published, but when asked about her profession, she did not dare to say that she was a writer.
Editor-in-chief Bai was a little surprised when he saw her walking in. "Is there something going on today?"
The moment Yiyu heard the editor-in-chief speak, she was still a little cowardly, and she adjusted her breathing. The voice that came out was still very small: "I came today for something important......
"What?" Editor-in-Chief Bai didn't hear what she was saying at all.
"I'm here today because I've made some important decisions." Yiyu turned up the volume of his speech.
"Okay, you can say it." Editor-in-Chief Bai looked at her and nodded.
"I published the book "Wonderful Travel", can I become an official signed author of the Ministry of Literature?"
"Haven't you always been?"
"No, I've always been a part-time writer, and it's not officially signed yet. In the past, my daily focus was actually on my other part-time convenience store. Yiyu explained.
"So, what do you mean?" Editor-in-Chief Bai asked.
"I want to become an official contractor of the company and focus on this." Yiyu took a deep breath and said the purpose of his coming today.
"You should have thought that a long time ago, didn't you? It seems that it would be more useful to let the white editor in charge of you tell you, and then, you make sure to make sure with me, is this really the final decision you made? ”
"Yes, last time you told me to do some publicity work related to "Wonderful Journey", I will do my best." Yiyu replied.
"Okay, I'll prepare a formal contract with you first, and after the signing is approved, I'll let Editor Bai arrange the rest of the matters for you."
"Actually, you don't need to be afraid that you can't do those things yourself, no one will do them at the beginning, you have to try slowly. Besides, Editor Bai is the editor in charge of you, and he will accompany you to do these things. Editor-in-Chief Bai smiled.
"Thank you, editor-in-chief." Yiyu was suddenly grateful to the person in front of him.
In the past, I played some small emotions because Bai Yi'an said that she was beautiful, but in fact, this is not a prejudice against others? Now it seems that the editor-in-chief Bai is a very good editor-in-chief with his own rules for doing things.
Yiyu thanked her and left the office, and now that she has decided to make writing her official job, she can no longer take care of the convenience store job at the same time.
But he didn't tell Zhao Ke about his sudden decision, I don't know what kind of reaction he would have when he found out.
She sat on the subway to the convenience store, turned on her phone, and dialed the convenience store manager's number.
"Hey, manager." Yiyu saw that the phone was dialed and spoke.
"Hey, Yiyu, what's the matter? How are convenience stores doing? Are you okay? ”
"Excuse me, I'm calling now because I have something to tell you."
"Okay, you have something to say."
"I shouldn't be able to work at a convenience store anymore, and I called you to quit."
"Resign? Why is it so sudden, is something wrong? The manager was a little puzzled.
"Nothing happened, so I'll tell you the truth, because I'm going to officially become an author, so I won't be able to take care of my job at a convenience store in the future." Yiyu said it truthfully.
The store manager is very good to them on weekdays, I remember the first time I came to find this job, Yiyu didn't even know the most basic cashier, but the store manager didn't dislike it and taught her to learn. During that time, the store manager came to the store every day, and then he became more and more proficient, so the store manager did not continue to come very diligently.
"Oh, that's right, that's good, you've got a regular job, and I'm happy for you."
"It's just that, if you resign in a hurry, we won't be able to recruit people so quickly, you have to go and do it for a few more days, and then we can resign when we recruit someone."
"Yes, thank you, manager." Yiyu hung up.
It should take time to sign a contract with the Ministry of Literature, and the convenience store is the one she proposed to resign, and she should do all the follow-up work before handing it over.
After all, she has been doing this job for so long, and she also has feelings for it.
About thirty minutes later, the subway arrived, and Yiyu came out of the subway and walked to the convenience store.
Zhao Ke is in the store, it seems that the yogurt has arrived every day, and he is loading the yogurt on the shelves.
Yiyu walked in to help him, first checked the expiration date of the yogurt, it was all fresh, and then helped him put it together.
"You're here, and you're done with your family?" Zhao Ke asked her.
"Well, that's it." Yiyu nodded, she was going to tell him about her leaving as soon as she came in, but when she saw him, she was a little afraid to say it.
"Jiang Jiang, what about them?" Yiyu is looking for a topic.
"Oh, it's time for me to do it today, they're working hard, let them go back to rest and rest on vacation."
"Then let me be on duty tonight, I've been on leave for a long time." Yiyu said.
"Okay, go get an ice cream and eat it, I'll invite you, it's been hot lately." Zhao Ke pointed to the freezer next to him.
"What do you eat? I'll get one for you, too. Yiyu smiled.
"Just, that old popsicle, I think that sugar water tastes pretty good." Zhao Ke replied.
Yiyu took two old popsicles, she also thought that this one was cheap, relieving the heat and delicious, and most importantly, this popsicle had the taste of childhood.
She unpacked it and handed it over, and Zhao Ke took it, "Sure enough, this is the best." ”
"Zhao Ke......" Yiyu sighed the popsicle in his hand, "I'm going to resign from the convenience store." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Ke obviously didn't understand, and the popsicle handed to his mouth was heard in midair.
"I can't work at this convenience store for a few days, and I'll leave when the store manager hires someone." Yiyu continued.
"Did the store manager let you go? I'll go to him and tell him, you're doing a good job, there's no reason. ”
"It's not." Yiyu shook his head, "I'm going to resign myself." ”
"Why?"
"I'm going to the Faculty of Literature as an official author." Yiyu spoke.
"Uh-oh." Zhao Ke nodded and smiled at Yiyu, "It's good to be an official author." ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you, and then I suddenly had to leave." Yiyu felt a little sorry for him.
"What's this, it's your business, you don't have to say hello to me, but I want to congratulate you." Zhao Ke took a bite of the popsicle, "It's just a little reluctant, and I've been working together for a long time." ”
"But." Zhao Ke continued, "We are friends, it's not like we won't see each other in the future, ask me out for dinner in the future, and I promise to be on call." ”
"Yes." Yiyu smiled.
When the yogurt was on the shelves and there weren't many customers in the store, they sat behind the cash register and chatted.
"What did you come home for?" Zhao Ke asked her.
"Nothing." Yiyu felt that if he said that he would go back because of a blind date, Zhao Ke would definitely laugh off his big teeth.
"When my mother had an accident, you helped me so much, but now that my family has an accident, I don't dare to tell me."
"Okay." Yiyu thought for a while and said, "It's my aunt who asked me to go back on a blind date." ”
"Blind date? Then you haven't met any of your favorite ones? ”
"No, I don't like to be at home in the first place."
"Coming home, going on a blind date, getting married, having children, these are actually the normal state of life, some girls like this stable life, don't you like it?" Zhao Ke asked.
"I like a stable life, and I want to live a normal life, but it's not there."
"Don't you like that place in your house?"
Yiyu heard Zhao Ke's question and began to recall the days spent at home.
First of all, my father, who has a very vague memory, threw himself into the cramped yard, and my aunt pulled me to sit on the dining table, and slowly pulled the rice in the bowl by herself.
And then it's from what I thought was to stay for a while to live there for a long time. She started school and stayed alone in the classroom every day, with no one to talk to.
The average little friends have already been put together in twos and threes, and they have been very familiar with each other since they first started school. But Yiyu was a late enrollee and had long been excluded.
Almost every day when she came home, she could hear her aunt and grandfather arguing. Once, during a meal, my grandfather lost his temper and threw the bowl on the dining table, and a hole was broken on the table, which must have taken a lot of effort.
She silently cooked the meal, not wanting the sound of the quarrel to enter her ears, and then over time, she still felt unbearable.
But even if she sometimes came out to resist, this quarrel still became a part of her life.
Gradually, Yiyu just wants to grow up and be far away from home, so that he can have a place to live and live a quiet life.
But she knew that it couldn't be, because of her childhood life, there was an anxious and irritable monster hidden in her heart, and others should not be able to see it, but she could clearly perceive the existence of that monster.
"I don't like it." Yiyu replied.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Zhao Ke tried to change the subject.
"Now when I go to the bookstore to read the book "Wonderful Journey", I can always see it in the most conspicuous position, I threw away the pirated copy from before and bought this book to support you." Zhao Ke took out a copy of "Wonderful Travel" from his canvas bag.
"What do you think of the writing?" Yiyu asked him.
"Very good, you are already a very popular author."
"What's the matter, you've won the prize." Yiyu smiled.
"Okay, it's time for me to go, I've recently learned a few ways to make soup, and I want to go back and cook it for my mother." Zhao Ke stood up.
"Help me ask my aunt hello, I'll go see her if I have time."
