Personnel Chapter 18: We All Have Secrets
I still remember one time when Teng Zhi was at home, I accidentally found him hiding money in the iron box on the closet in the room.
I was in front of the window of their room, teasing the little sparrow perched by the window, and the sparrow was chirping and talking in a crisp and pleasant voice.
At this time, Teng Zhi suddenly came in, his expression was slightly strange, he saw that he picked up a stool and leaned against the edge of the wardrobe, he stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, supported the edge of the wardrobe with both hands, and moved between the glove boxes placed on it, leaving a gap. He propped up the wardrobe with one hand, and with the other he took out a stack of money from his pocket, unfolded it with his hand, and folded it again.
When he noticed that I was looking at him, he didn't have any worries and just said to me, "Don't say it." ”
He raised the index finger of his right hand and put it to his mouth, motioning for me to keep the secret of his "little vault".
He put his feet up again, held the money in his right hand, moved it in with a few fingers, and put the book to cover it. The top of the cabinet was full of all kinds of books, and even if they were dusted or even yellowed, he would not take them to look at them, he was such a strange man, he liked to buy books, but he never read them.
After he jumped down, he patted the dust on his hands, and walked towards me, he pointed to the sparrow seriously, and told me about the species and living habits of the sparrow, I was confused, and could only nod my head to understand it, it was a plain thing, and he could tell you the truth.
At this time, I was lying in front of the window and saw two little sparrows, which reminded me of this incident.
Seeing that Teng Zhi and Su Wei were not there, I opened the door, stuck my head out, and then looked at whether there was anyone outside the door, everyone seemed to be busy with their own things, and now, I can start "acting" without any scruples!
I looked up at the many clutter on the top of the cabinet and wondered where to start.
I don't know if I don't look for it, but I found a lot of "treasures" when I searched.
There are a lot of books on the top of the cabinet, and almost the entire top of the cabinet is placed. I lifted the chair on the dresser and stood on it, and I was still a little bit taller than the top of the cabinet, so I took a few books from the shelves and stacked them on top of the chair, and then I stood on tiptoe to see what was on the top of the cabinet.
Suddenly, a ship rolled down.
Probably when I was pulling the book, it fell off. I jumped down to pick up the boat and looked at it carefully. The man who folded the ship must have been a clever man, who folded every penny and made it into a ship with sails. I seem to have seen this boat somewhere, by the way, on Xisheng Street.
The boat was bought in a photo studio. At that time, we went to take pictures, Teng Zhi took a fancy to the furnishings of other people's stores, and had to buy the boat that they hung in the store, and now, this ship has become a "scrap ship" abandoned on the top of the cabinet.
I recalled the scene at that time, Teng Zhi stuffed the money into the gap of the book, which gap was it? I flipped through it.
Yes, this is it.
I stood on my tiptoes, and with a tug, a bag fell off. This bag has been sitting for a long time, it has become brittle, and when it falls, the whole bag falls apart. The contents of the bag fell out, I picked up a box of things, opened it and saw that there was a box of stamps, although the bag was covered with dust, but the stamps inside were brand new.
I picked up the stamps, stepped on the chair, looked up at the top of the cabinet, and looked at the past, and it turned out that there were stamps inside, including collector's editions, commemorative editions, and sets of stamps.
I saw a pile of money curled up, tucked between the cracks in the books.
I moved from side to side, figuring out where to go.
Right! This is it.
I put my left hand on the wardrobe, and with my right hand I stretched it into the top of the closet, and then I moved forward, yes, it was fast, I touched it, and I moved my two fingers back and forth, left and right, and finally took it out.
A stack of money was squeezed into waste paper, and as soon as it was opened, dust flew out, and one banknote was folded backwards against another, and with each opening, there was a piece stuck together behind it.
The money I turned out was about a few hundred yuan, and I put it in Su Wei's handbag and wrote a note.
The note reads:
Mother, this is the money left by my father, and I put it in a handbag for you.
Wait, what's this sound, the sound of Qiu Feng walking, she's back?
I slowed, lightly, moving slowly from the wall until I approached the door.
I put my face against the door and looked out to see Qiu Feng changing clothes in the room.
"Lan Xin, Lan Xin." She shouted loudly.
"Miss, here you are."
"Go and inform Wu Xu to prepare dinner, I want to see an important person tonight." I saw Qiu Feng pick up a bottle of perfume and spray it around his neck.
I immediately took my head back, and as if my heart was about to jump out, I counted to one and went out.
One! Still not out, just wait.
Three! Two! One! Okay, let's get out.
At this time, Qiu Feng looked over, and I pretended not to see her, and walked straight down the stairs.
"Hello Auntie." With that, I ran downstairs.
The glass staircase "banged" in an instant, and a large hole opened, and the glass slag fell into the water, but fortunately I ran fast and did not sink in.
"Uneducated things, no feminine temperament at all." I saw Qiu Feng so frightened that he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground.
I patted my chest with my hand at the bottom of the stairs to be brave, counted to one, and went out to fight her. At this time, my mind was full of images of arguing with Qiu Feng, and in the end, I clenched my fist and let go of my hand.
"What a tantrum!" Xinwen's voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to walk in front of me.
I kept my head down and was silent.
At this time, the law said to Xinwen: "Don't worry about children. ”
Xinwen's voice disappeared, and my heart slowly hung down, just two lines of tears, unconsciously flooding.
At this time, Ah Mao Chang sent Kira back.
"How is this happening?" Mao looked at the crack in the staircase.
"That's her!" Qiu Feng walked over to me, the corners of his eyes raised high.
"Miss, have you been injured?" Mao ran over to see if I was hurt.
"I didn't."
At this time, Ah Mao Chang took out a piece of papak from his pocket and wiped my tears for me.
"Ah Mao, don't forget your identity just because you are the master's close servant." Qiu Feng pointed at Ah Mao.
"I'm sorry, it's me who climbed high." Ah Mao Chang shoved the pabu into my hand and slowly stepped back.
The more I looked at Ah Mao's figure, the more I felt like a useless person, and every time he protected me, it became a reason for him to feel even more inferior.
After dinner, Su Wei came back, she brought a box of walnut crisp and a few boxes of halva, and the first thing she did was for me to take it back to my room and hide it.
What I like the most is to listen to her footsteps, and what I want most is to see Su Wei surprise me.
Suddenly, Qiu Feng came out of the room with a shout.
"Who stole my chocolate candy?" Qiu Feng looked at me.
"I don't know which thief stole it." Qiu Feng walked out of the room, showing a box with only one biscuit.
I looked at Su Wei and shook my head vigorously.
Qiu Feng entered the room again, not knowing what he was muttering.
"What is she going to do?" Su Wei came over to me and said.
"Alas, some people just don't even have the money to buy sugar, so they can only steal what other people eat, seeing that she is so pitiful, I'd better forget it." Qiu Feng deliberately amplified his voice and said to Jin'er.
"Well, forget it, I have food too." Jin'er shook her head.
Qiu Feng stared at Jin'er, her eyes snobbish and fierce.
Later, Qiu Feng returned to the room.
In the book, I told Kira about it.
Hearing me say this, she slapped a book on the table and became angry. Be sure to come home with me and see this "old witch".
When Qiluo came to my house, we saw Qiu Feng in the room, Lan Xin was grooming her, Qiluo deliberately raised her voice and said, "I'll tell you something." ”
"What's the matter?" I also asked with a sharp cry in my throat.
"I have a friend who has an aunt who looks ugly and looks like an old witch." With that, we craned our necks and looked inside the room.
Suddenly, Qiu Feng came out of the room, looked at us for a moment, and then turned to enter the room.
Kira and I glanced at each other, covering our mouths and snickering.
Later, I asked Amao to send Kira home.
At this time, I happened to arrive at the hotel, but I saw that Teng Zhi didn't plan to go home at this time, and Su Wei became more and more angry the more she waited.
"It's time to eat!" Qijun shouted.
Qiu Feng came out of the room, looked at the dishes in front of him, and picked them with chopsticks.
"How can you eat this kind of dish? Didn't everyone pay for food to Wu Xu? Qiu Feng pointed to the dish in front of him.
Our food and drink are all cooked by the chef of Ziyang's top restaurant, the chef is Wu Xu, and the daily style is also designed by him, carefully changing, endlessly. Ten kinds of dim sum, five kinds of sweet porridge, corn and carrot juice are the main ones for breakfast, and 20 dishes are used for lunch, including 15 kinds of meat, five side dishes, plus two soups, and the same as lunch, there will be one more soup style.
Today's menu is just one less piece of meat.
"I have seen Gu Xining and her friends on Xisheng Street several times, both hands are full of food, and Su Wei's money is not used to pay for food, but is spent on her daughter." Qiu Feng said proudly.
"I picked up the money." I looked at Su Wei.
Is it useful to tell such lies? This can't be said to be the pocket money Su Wei gave me.
"She's out there." Su Wei stared at Qiu Feng, and her weak eyes had already betrayed her.
"Picked up? It's funny, right? Where in the world is there money that is so easy to pick up. Qiu Feng sneered.
"I pay the monthly food money to Wu Xu on time, in other words, is someone taking the tavern money out to pay the food expenses?" Su Wei stared at Qiu Feng fiercely.
At this time, the law looked at Qiu Feng.
As if she had told Qiu Feng's secret, she spit out a few words.
Seeing that something was wrong, Jin'er pulled her clothes behind Qiu Feng, but couldn't make her stop, and the law was on the side, with her hands on her chest, turning the dragon ball in her hands, while watching his Go, without saying a word.
"You are the second manager of the Upper Ninth Pavilion, what are you talking about with children for a little money now?" For the first time, I saw Su Wei scolding with a mouth full of spittle.
"If you have the ability, you can move out, don't be an eyesore here." After speaking, Qiu Feng got up and went to the second floor, and from the first floor, we could also hear the loud sound of the door closing.
Su Wei also turned back to the room, and I followed her.
At this time, Teng Zhi came back, and at the end of the day, he didn't know where he went.
Su Wei told Teng Zhi the whole thing.
"Well, forget it, don't bother with them." Teng Zhi replied in a light tone.
"I don't have the responsibility of a husband at all, when did you worry about our mother and daughter about family affairs? Do you think it doesn't matter if you're bullied like this? Su Wei raised her head, tears rolling in her eyes.
"What's the use of you worrying so much with this kind of person." Teng Zhi frowned, feeling that Su Wei was very willful.
"It's not a matter of calculation, it's her taking the initiative to pick things." Su Wei was even more angry.
"Anyway, you don't care what they say, you can't win if you quarrel with them." After speaking, Teng Zhi sat on the bed and continued to tinker with the "treasures" found today. ”
