Chapter 58 The Future Can Be Expected
In addition to Su Ya's personal emotional small theater, Hua Lin also has to play the role of Zhang Xin's intimate sister.
From time to time, I received letters from Zhang Xin, writing down the bits and pieces of what happened between her and Lu Yinuo in the tutoring class at Shitai's house, and the scenes reproduced in Hua Lian's eyes.
Hua Lin is like an experienced emotional master, and she analyzes and analyzes it.
I didn't forget to remind Zhang Xin in the letter: Cen Lin asked Hua Lin more than once if Zhang Xin liked Lu Yinuo.
I have to admire Cen Lin's tentacles, extremely keen, how did she find out.
Asked Zhang Xin where he showed his feet?
Zhang Xin replied that it was impossible, she was hiding so deeply, I am afraid that Lu Yinuo himself would not know.
What kind of fate is Hua Lonely, why do her friends take the self-high route like this? Except for Cen Lin.
Know the little secrets of different people, but you can't circulate them.
Lyric feels like an Infernal Affairs, lurking in every gang.
If the complex of boys and girls in these youth can be called the spiritual level of "spring and snow", adjusting the boring academic content:
So in Hua Lone's life, there are other special practical and material needs, in layman's terms: how much meat can she have on the dining table.
One day, Hua Lone's father came home with a black face, and told Hua Lone's mother anxiously that he accidentally ran the red light again, that is, the car in front of him was a little slower, and he followed too closely, blocking the view, and when it was his turn, the yellow light went out and the red light turned on, and he had exceeded the scope of the rules.
In this regard, Hua Lone's mother is used to it, and only said calmly, don't bother anyone to help anymore, what process should be followed to punish what money, just do it step by step.
There has been a little more change in the family's personnel.
Back then, I borrowed money to buy a car for Hua Lone's father, and some of it was borrowed by Hua Lone's mother who asked her aunt of the previous generation to borrow it, and the other party's family contracted a stall in the farmers' market to make handmade noodles, have craftsmanship, be self-reliant, and have enough food and clothing.
Originally, the hotel work introduced by my aunt was also smooth, but the boss was not well managed, and it was in such a fourth- or fifth-tier city, and the ordinary check-in demand was not high, and most of them were gray hourly rooms.
Gradually, the hotel went downhill, opening or closing, it made no difference, and Hua Lone's mother's work was very idle.
This aunt of the older generation, after many years of customer relationship management, has more repeat customers, after her daughter got married, it was obvious that the stall was understaffed, and her daughter could only occasionally bring people from her husband's side to help, and she was busy on weekends.
They are reluctant to recruit workers according to the cost of employment in the market. After thinking about it, I contacted Hua Lone's mother and offered to "come and help", but she never clearly explained how much money she would give, but only verbally asked her to come when she was free, all by her own consciousness, and when she went home, she would pick up some noodles, rice cakes or cakes that could not be sold out that day.
Usually, my aunt walks downstairs to the house, and she will make a phone call to see if Hua Lone's father is not there. Normally, in the face of this big boss, it is difficult for her to maintain a calm mood, or she doesn't want to pay attention to it, and she can't control the tone, and she always has to pick and choose to say something he doesn't like to hear, but she vented her resentment against this man, and she can't stand people not listening, she also knows why bother, so she can simply not see it.
Only when he is not at home will his aunt come upstairs to sit down.
At this time, Hua Lin usually spends her time in the room doing her homework, and of course she can hear the adults talking.
The question that my aunt is more concerned about is: Is there any salary for Hua Lone's mother to help like this, "My aunt didn't say that I asked you to do things to calculate a month's salary?" ”
According to what Hua Lin knows, there is none.
Her mother said that the people are short, and the money owed in front of them has not been paid off, and the hard work of saving month after month, it is already very good that people do not collect the accounts, how can there be room for bargaining, they should be cows and horses by themselves, don't talk about giving money, you can always manage it with some practical things.
My aunt is not afraid of offending people, she said bluntly, one yard is one yard, and it is not that the family calculates too clearly.
My aunt has long been fond of being close to this family, but she has the ability and arrogant capital of God, but her parents don't have it.
A lowly person can only do things in a humble way.
There was a heavy footstep in the corridor, and when I heard it, I knew that it was Hua Lone's father striding upstairs, and then I heard his father shouting with low eyebrows, "Sister is here", after a small action, Hua Lin in the inner room never heard the voice of the aunt, and he could automatically make up for how the aunt was blocking the door, only caring about putting on her shoes, and leaving before her father entered the door.
I roughly understand what my aunt came to the house mainly for, different from my aunt's indignation, and my father's attitude is relatively bland.
He only said, "Since people call us to help, we also have a place where we can use it, and we can help if we can, and it doesn't matter if we give it or not." ”
Well said.
Help, who will help, who will help?
He hadn't been there at all, anyway.
Who created the situation that he is not qualified to talk about money, sells labor to others, and is grateful to others?
Hua Lin felt a little shameless in her heart, thinking that in the final analysis, her mother would have worked so hard for so many years, and it was all her father who dug the pit.
She looked back at the book in front of her and thought about her future.
If you can, you must still go to a university a little farther away, escape from this home, go to a wide place and try to fly, become stronger on your own, and don't hang your life behind other people's butts and expect others to help.
This ambition is very right, people should be self-reliant.
On the other hand, the children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age.
Since her mother was going to help out at the farmer's market, Hua Lin could also follow to do things and meet people in her spare time after finishing her homework, no longer just trapped in the four walls of the house and thinking nonsense.
When I was very busy, my mother was selling things at the stall, and Hua Lin also shouldered a heavy responsibility.
Their stalls are relatively small, and they can't put production machines, so they have always built a tin house for production after making some connections downstairs in their house, with zero rental costs.
The small business does not take any transportation and logistics, and requires personnel to run from time to time to transport the newly made dough to the stall.
Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to produce people, on the other hand, it is necessary to buy and sell people, and at least there must be a mobile role in transit transportation, and this person can be a flower lonely.
Hua Lone's performance is very good, and the elders and old aunts always praise her.
The old aunt said that Hua Lonely is as flexible as a group, reliable in doing things, and sweet in her mouth.
Who is the "swarm"?
The old aunt said that the group was as big as Hua Lone, and she was also in high school in G, and she couldn't remember how high it was.
Qunqun, a little girl who is a miserable but lucky girl.
She is the niece of her aunt's in-laws, but she has been fostered in her aunt's in-laws since she was a child.
Because her biological father is not responsible for leaving his wife and children and flying away, he either died of illness or went out to work, or he can't come back, and her mother needs to live her own life, and she can't and doesn't want to take her with her.
Fortunately, in my aunt's in-laws' house, I treat the group as my own and take care of her.
Before and after my aunt's daughter got married, she brought a group of people to help at the stall, and the group of mouths is also very good at talking, and she doesn't drag things out, she is very capable, and the key person is thoughtful and has a good personality.
Hua Lin has no chance to meet the crowd for the time being.
If she and her mother are there, her aunt and daughter rarely come, as if they are deliberately diverting the time and allocating resources at different peak times.
In this way, if Hua Lin goes to help on the weekend, he will have lunch at his aunt's house, and after eating, they will bring food to Hua Lian's mother.
The dishes were also very ordinary before, but since the youngest son of the old aunt who learned electronic repair technology outside, that is, the person who called his cousin, returned from his part-time job with the master, and was ready to find a store to invest some money to do it himself, he was temporarily at home, and he was responsible for buying vegetables and cooking, and the dishes have obviously improved a lot.
Hua Lin can be stained and eat good dishes that you can't usually eat at home:
Rice noodle meat, plum cabbage button meat, duck soup, roasted field chicken, radish beef brisket...
The young cousin is willing to spend money, likes to eat, and is very good at cooking, he also bought bagged ham sausages, and asked him if he was still a child in his eyes:
"Do you like fried ham sausages? If you like it, your uncle will fry two of them for you, wrap them in chili powder, and ensure that they taste like fried skewers outside, you know who it is, right? She has eaten it and said it is delicious. ”
Fried ham sausage?
Did this happiness come too quickly, or did she secretly use the money to buy dance shoes to "luxury" once in the night market, the key is not to know the taste.
Of course, Hua Lin is happy, this kind of recognition based on labor in exchange is much more down-to-earth than cheating.
My cousin also brought back 10 catties of pistachios from other cities to pay homage to my old aunt.
For the first time, Hua Lin saw the name of the beautiful snack.
At that time, my cousin grabbed a handful of them and gave them to Hua Lone, leaving a sentence of "You can eat it yourself." "So I went back to my room and tinkered with his electronics.
Hua Lin tasted it, and when I first entered it, I thought it was similar to peanuts?
You can chew it again, it is fragrant, the whole taste bud is happy, it is hundreds of times better than peanuts, I eat one, I want to eat the second one, the third, and gradually I will have the feeling of addiction, as if I can eat endlessly.
It's not enough to fully feel and depict the taste of pistachios.
Soon, my cousin grabbed a handful, and all that was left was a shell-like husk.
A large bag of pistachios, white and chubby, was lazily leaning on the sofa, attracting Hua Lonely.
If you only take one more, you won't be able to see it.
This thought continued to brainwash, took one, took another, and before she knew it, she found that the number of pistachios visible to the naked eye had decreased, and the level went down.
Not good, Hua Lin was so frightened that she hurried away and fled the scene.
I don't know if my cousin will find out that she has eaten so much, she is too greedy, and she blames herself very much.
At that time, when she walked downstairs and passed by the tin room, she originally planned to ask her aunt if there was anything she took to the stall by the way.
Only close, there are people inside chatting with the old aunt.
"Business is good now, I don't think you have a minute to spare."
"Hey, busy, tired."
"What's tired, it's not the machine kneading dough."
"Hehe, don't rub your hands, don't muscle."
"Eh, old man, I see you're hired, right? How much money do you give to have a new face to do things? ”
"I don't want money."
"Kaisazi joke? If you don't have money, who will run for you? It's impossible for relatives. ”
"I'll tell you, it's still a relative! But, I held it in my hand and grabbed her throat and she didn't dare to speak, owing me money, you know? It's equivalent to me holding one of her legs, and I can't run. I don't have a salary, but I still come to work here, and I feel very conscious. ”
"That's how good you are."
…
The adult world is so complicated that Hua Lin feels powerless.
Her mother often came early in the morning to help, doing everything she could, never leaving in advance, on the surface they said nicely, but we couldn't do it, and the private opinion was so dark, it was all calculation and use.
At this moment, Hua Lin wanted to spit out all the "pistachios" she ate in her stomach and return them, she hated that she had never seen the world so uncompetitively.
She speculated that her cousin might not have an opinion, but if her aunt and uncle saw her mother as such, they would definitely dislike her for eating such "precious" snacks, and be more oppressive or guarded.
She wanted to run back and tell her mother, but she still couldn't escape the fact that fate was coming to pay off her debts?
When will this life be held back by poverty?
Hua Lin really wants to grow up quickly, and she understands more and more the truth that "backers will fall, have a bad reputation, and rely on others to rely on themselves".
She let out a long breath and deliberately shouted "old aunt", pretending to be that she had just gone downstairs, and she found that she actually had this ideological awareness and emotional intelligence to avoid embarrassment.
Sure enough, an old man in the tin room looked around and walked away, he should be talking to the old aunt.
Then Hua Lin pretended to be nothing, "Old aunt, you have worked hard, should I bring some goods over?" ”
The old aunt looked kind, "Why are you so capable?" You are as industrious as your mother. ”
In his words, he used his flour-covered hands to fill the basket of Hua Lone's bicycle.
If she hadn't heard the previous conversation, Hua Lin thought it was a sincere compliment, hard work, and a compliment, and she would have been very happy;
I heard this, and the word diligence added a little irony.
She didn't expect to learn what hypocrisy was so quickly.
Back to the stall, the old aunt was present, Hua Lin and her mother couldn't say anything, and she suddenly became disgusted with the old aunt.
If it weren't for the fact that she really came and went for a good business, she could still take a hand, and there was a need to exist, she really wanted to leave, go home and do her homework, and even think that she wouldn't come in the future.
However, if Hua Lonely doesn't come in the future, then it is obvious that her mother is running to deliver the goods.
There is a section of this farmers' market that is full of small stalls and vendors, the flow of people is very large, and there is no separation of people and vehicles, motor vehicles, bicycles, walking, anyway, the black pressure is squirming one by one, her mother's riding skills are not good, and she can only push and walk.
After waiting on the main road, her mother was anxious, and she didn't want to wait for the traffic light no matter how many times she said, and she had to follow others when she wore them, how dangerous it was.
Therefore, it is not so much that Hua Lin is here to help others, but that she is here to help her mother.
Besides, isn't that what happens in the world?
What you owe to others always has to be repaid.
When can I no longer owe anyone.
I'm afraid my parents' generation can't get rid of it.
Hua Lin hopes that his future can be neither lost nor owed.
