Chapter 34: Summer Dusk
When we returned to the dormitory at six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Haoran still wanted to take us to play mahjong, but Xu Hao was about to take a vacation, so he was busy packing up his things and ignored him. Even Xu Hao didn't follow suit, let alone me and Zhang Pengpeng, so he naturally shook his head vigorously, saying that Xu Hao finally saved up a vacation to go back to see his girlfriend, so he asked him to prepare to buy a gift or something.
Later, Xu Hao really ran out to buy gifts, and heard that there was a flower drum in Yucheng that was very special, and he wanted to buy it back to please women. I asked him to buy it and show it to me, maybe I'd be interested. Xu Hao doesn't know that I don't have a girlfriend, so I can't get used to it, otherwise I have to bring something back when I go out in the future, or I don't love her.
I couldn't experience this kind of distress, but at this time, I suddenly remembered the days when I gave gifts to Hu Shanshan, and it seemed that during that time, I would think of her first thing when there was anything good.
There was a warm current in my heart, thinking that our relationship had eased, so I turned on my mobile phone to buy some fruits for Hu Shanshan online.
Zhou Haoran was lying on the table, playing mahjong with his palms, bored. Seeing that he really couldn't fight, he was heartbroken, and the three of them went out to eat together.
I ordered a few outrageously cheap dishes at the roadside food stalls, and then grabbed chopsticks in one hand and steamed buns in the other, and had dinner with the style of Shandong people.
I played with my mobile phone while eating, and sent a WeChat message to Hu Shanshan while waiting for the food, and she replied after a short time, and the two of them chatted about some topics across the mobile phone screen after a few words.
I hyped up the good and bad of Yucheng, from two cents a pound of watermelon to apples that can be picked on the side of the road, from undelicious rice to dry heat. The words are incoherent, and I can't find a bit of gravity.
Hu Shanshan is also complaining about working and studying during the summer vacation, and even receiving harassment.
Time with the girl you like always flies quickly, although it is through the mobile phone screen, across thousands of mountains and rivers, but that joy is still so real that it is intoxicating.
On July 11, the sun was still shining in Yucheng, and there was a rolling heat wave on the road early in the morning. Zhou Haoran and I sent away Xu Hao, who was like an arrow, and he began to return to his heart like an arrow again.
Zhang Pengpeng led a team of pretty people to find the intersection to scatter leaflets, probably knowing that fate should be like this, and the pace of walking was extremely free.
Xia Xiaoxue wiped the table and set up the tables and chairs for everyone in the office, which caused the cleaning aunt to have a complicated expression.
I thanked Xiaoxue, and as soon as I sat down, I saw Hu Mingming coming out of Manager Wu's office with a pot of boiling water, with an unconcealable joy on his face. Luo Qian is a good person, and at a glance she saw that she must have gotten some news, so she asked.
Hu Mingming glanced at me meaningfully, said a few slow words in Luo Qian's ear, and then looked at me again......
I was quite curious, but when I saw that Luo Qian's face was not very good-looking after hearing this, I felt a little uneasy.
Sure enough, soon Manager Wu summoned me and Luo Qian, first talked a lot about the company's prospects, and then emphasized and coaxed the value of friendship and team spirit. went around in a circle, and in the end, it turned out to be for me to go on a business trip with Luo Qian and Hu Mingming to Jishi. There is a friendly unit that has recently opened, because it has been covered for too long, and I am worried that the lottery will burst out of control and will get out of control, so I want to adjust more people in the industry to deal with it.
Like Luo Qian, I have mixed feelings in my heart. What is this? We are not instruments, can we borrow and borrow? However, no one dared to complain in front of Manager Wu. Because he knew that he couldn't hide, he faced it calmly, pretending to be cheerful and eager to accept the holy decree.
It's just that I haven't understood why Zhou Haoran doesn't have to go, but brings a Hu Mingming who is still an intern?
When I was eating at noon, I was still annoyed, Hu Mingming brought me a bowl of seaweed soup, and asked me about a business trip to Jinan.
Seeing that she was still beautiful, I couldn't cry or laugh, and told her that this is not a beautiful difference, and it is not pleasing to tired people.
But Hu Mingming looked innocent and indifferent, looking at the attitude, he was even looking forward to it.
I never felt like I was going to be a good person, or even lackluster. The leaders expand the circle of contacts but ask you to sacrifice, when he 'will succeed', who will pay attention to our 'dry bones'?
In the afternoon, in the office with a large temperature difference, looking at the construction site in the distance, those big men who carry steel bars under the scorching sun have always been awe-inspiring and admirable. I wondered if I would be one of them if I didn't have my family to pave the way for me. But then I thought about it, and it was actually quite funny, as if there was some superiority in my profession, maybe it was not as good as theirs. At least, they never need to grovel to please anyone, and they don't need to mobilize every sensitive element of their body every day, and go through the days of observing words and seeing people's hearts.
Every time I think about this, I feel inferior and insulted, and I feel a heartfelt sense of frustration.
The whole day was spent in a muddy nightmare, and in the evening, the lonely couple went to the food stalls on the side of the road again, nibbling on steamed buns and watching the cars whizzing by on the road. Zhang Pengpeng has already darkened a circle, but in my opinion, the dark complexion is not so annoying. I often use my brother's tone to point out some truths that I feel are dismantled, and he is also very face-saving, no matter whether he is good or bad, he listens respectfully and respectfully, and never raises the bar.
Zhou Haoran poses like a ruffian every day, squinting at a cigarette, and judging him like two people at work. When he is bored, he likes to watch TV and fight landlords. In terms of life, he is a lazy type, and he often soaks his clothes until they change color before he is willing to wash them.
I have been friends with Zhou Haoran for many years, and I may know his temperament better than his daughter-in-law, although I don't say it, I know that he still misses his family very much. His mobile phone screensaver is a photo of his wife and children, and sometimes he is in a daze with the photo, and his face is full of envy.
The food stall owner fried a few vegetarian dishes for us, and the prices were so cheap that you were worried. Zhou Haoran said that when he can't earn money to support his family in the future, he will move to Yucheng, and he will make do with two steamed buns and one dish, so he doesn't have to worry about starving to death.
The afterglow of the setting sun was dappled among the antique buildings, the old people sat lazily on the stone steps in front of the house in a daze, and a fat old hen dangled her body and just stepped on the threshold, and ran up in panic under the intimidation of the black cat, and her fluttering wings splashed dust......
This is the Yucheng I saw at this moment, the years are like a song, bringing passers-by the eyes and water chestnuts. Those busy shadows turned into flying glow in the afterglow, rushing into the blue sky, and dripping into the lover's dreams with the night.
……
It was another sleepless night when I returned to the dormitory, and I was thinking about whether I should be diligent in writing a plan, when Hu Shanshan suddenly sent a WeChat message asking what I was doing.
I was in a trance, and a brief greeting caught me off guard.
It's as simple as a symbolic greeting, and then there's nothing to say. I was holding my mobile phone, and I was searching my stomach to organize the language, and Hu Shanshan, who had been muttering for a long time, suddenly said thank you.
"Your dragon fruit is delicious, superb!" Hu Shanshan said.
The heart seems to have melted into a haze, and the high-rise buildings are shining in the bright sun.
Many times this is the case, your words, an expression, a symbol, can make me sink into depression for a whole day, and can also make me crash into the dazzling dawn from the way of loss, and the clouds will disperse......
Later, I introduced her to a few of my favorite fruits, but Hu Shanshan refused to accept them and asked me not to buy them again. Maybe it was because she was worried about my feelings, and after a long time, she said: If you really don't like money, buy me some lollipops.
I was flattered and spent the rest of the night almost swiping through the screen looking for different flavors of lollipops. After buying 160 sticks, she was surprised when she found out, and joked that she would have to go to the hospital for a dental implant when she finished eating.
I fell in love with online shopping for the first time, and for a long time I couldn't help but swipe the screen to find all kinds of food, and then take screenshots to recommend it to her.
Hu Shanshan will not accept other people's benefits for no reason, as a return gift, she wants to send me Rao's peaches, but unfortunately I want to go to Jishi on a business trip, so I didn't let her send it.
It is said that when you fall in love with someone, you have to be prepared to lose your IQ. I don't know if my feelings for Hu Shanshan are love, but in front of her, I feel like a cynical child, always thinking and doing some childish and impulsive things.
