Chapter 8 Apricot Immortals

Every spring, this apricot tree blooms with flowers. The fruit is still scarce. The fruit that no one dares to eat, I have it alone.

I think the reason why this apricot tree bears fruit is different from other apricot trees must be a rare variety, and it is also a treasure among apricots. There was a kind of immortal apricot recorded in ancient books. Of course, that can't be something that ordinary people like us can eat. Most people in the world have never heard of it, so where can they understand?

After all these years, I don't know what kind of energy the strange fruit of the apricot tree has provided me. Maybe I'm thinking too much. Of all the people in the family, I am the tallest. is more than half a head taller than my sister and Nizi, let alone my mother, who is more than 1.50 meters tall. There were nine cousins in total, and they all brushed the ground to a height of one or more meters, and then stopped abruptly when they grew to a height of more than one meter and sixty points. Then, all of them were coarse and coarse, looking at who could be rougher than whom. Whenever my aunt in the backyard came to the door, as long as she looked at me at home, she would ask my mother, what kind of elixir did you give her? This is slim. My mom laughed and said she didn't know.

After a few more years, I went to high school in the provincial town alone. What saddened me the most was that the apricot tree withered for no reason. However, the old apricot tree in the southwest corner of the small courtyard still bore a swarm of bee-like fruits, falling all over the ground. Every year in May, my sister, who thinks I love apricots, picks the biggest fruit for me and keeps a basket. When I come back on the weekend, let me eat. I didn't have the heart to eat apricots, so I sat on the edge of the kang and watched her eat. A round face, a pair of crescent-like eyes, with curved eyebrows, thin lips and neat teeth. The soft long hair was combed into a ponytail at the back of the head, and then braided into dozens of small braids, tied with red headbands. She said that by combing her hair this way, she would not have to comb her hair for a week. The little bone stick, chubby and full of meat, this is my sister. Her personality is not much different from Niko, but she is much better than Niko. Sometimes they have a good time, and sometimes they quarrel. In the end, it was always Niko who lost.

At this moment, the sound of the wind outside the window blew on the window of the north balcony, making a whirring sound. I got up and poured a cup of tea, retracting my distant thoughts. After a while, he continued to think of Ran.

She was still very well informed, and it had only been a week since she resigned, and she knew the whole story. Of course, the fat secretary in the company can't resist the temptation of food no matter what. With just one meal to satisfy her stomach, she promises to solve your doubts. Fat Secret is because he was too fat, and he didn't apply for his ideal job after graduating from college, so he went to such a small company to give in. She sometimes argues with me about the reason for losing weight, and I say that the most fundamental reason is to take care of her own mouth. I also asked her why she gained weight, and she said that her parents were selling fruit on the street when she could remember. It was all kinds of fresh fruits that grew up with her all the way that sweetened her to what she is today. I've watched her eat, and I can't blame the fruit for it. To put it bluntly, it's a strong mouth. Heck, just the beef noodle restaurant next to the small market not far from the company. She must eat a big bowl every morning, and after a long time, the boss is very worried when he sees her. Each time, she swept away two bottles of beef sauce and a lot of chili oil on the table. Later, when the boss saw her coming, he tried to hide the beef sauce and chili oil as much as possible. It's very unhappy to mess with the fat secret. Every day she passed by the small market, she said to the vendor selling roast duck: "Boss, keep 20 duck butts and come to pick them up after work." She told me by the way, "It's five cents a piece, and I'll go home and feed the baby." It's her pet, a little pug. Once, she brought her pug to the company, and I was horrified. If it's not how scary the dog is, I was really scared by her. A dog that is a little bigger than a palm can eat twenty duck butts a day? I don't believe it anyway.

At this moment, Lan on the phone giggled with a giggle, and some caring words really touched me. Lan introduced me to work in their company, and the salary offered by the boss was quite high, so I was excited to go to work. The boss in Fujian is relatively gentle, and his white and clean face is as bright as the road after the snow in winter. Lan said that the boss is very good at maintenance, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, regardless of rain and snow, every day after work, it is guaranteed to be the health hall health, thunder can not move. I am amazed at the amount of time and effort that the boss puts into his wellness.

The day passed quickly, and there was nothing busy, some simple things in the office, the boss just glanced at them in the morning, and took a business trip in the afternoon. After lunch the next day, Lan went to the sauna on the other side of the street. About two hours later, I called and asked me to take the keys to the parking lot, saying that there was something to put in the car.

I picked up the car keys she had placed on the table and found her in the parking lot, her face flushed with steam, like a red face. laughing and laughing, I heard her shout from afar: "I'm here, don't look at it, come here." ”

I ran towards her, "Heh, if you don't call me, I'll have to treat you like the red-faced Guan Yunchang!" I quipped.

"Ha, ha, ha, what's the matter with the company?" She said, "It's okay, let's talk in the car for a while, slowly, tired." ”

"Okay, it looks like nothing." I opened the door and sat in the back seat of the car while driving away the heat from the car.

"Why did you sit in the back row?" She said. "I'm afraid you're hot!" I hurriedly said.

She fanned the wind with her hand as a fan and was silent for a while. "There was a woman who just called me and said to give me 200,000 and ask me to break up with your brother-in-law. I said, I'll give you 200,000, how about you break up with my husband? The phone was dropped. She said, "Beauty, what do you think about this?" ”

I clung to the back seat of the car, not knowing what to say. It seems to be a little bit of a feeling that the second monk can't touch his head, at this moment.

"Forget, I've never told you about my life, I'm sorry, I was a little excited." She slapped her thigh and said, "I'll tell you a few words, you won't be idle with my ink, will you?" ”

"Seeing how you say it, how can you?" I looked around the parking lot, the afternoon sun was good, there were not too many cars in the parking lot, it was quiet.

"Your brother-in-law and I are college classmates, and I pursued him first." "After Bongko got married, he stayed in the south, and I went back to the north," she said. The two places were separated, and he had other people around him and children. It was the woman who just called me. ”

At this point, I really couldn't see any change in my face when she said this, and a steaming face covered all of it. It's just that her eyes keep dodging me, as if she thinks that telling this matter makes her lose face, no matter who she is in front of.

"yes, there are more and more things like this now." I said, "I think you just answered well on the phone, whether it's a betrayal or a redemption." ”

At this moment, I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to insure the initial relationship between the two parties in the marriage. Whoever breaks his promise will pay a huge price. But looking back, even if such a frame really exists, what kind of role can it play? frames the other party's body, but can't frame the other party's heart. Lying in the husk of a marriage like the walking dead every day, I am afraid. What is the meaning of such a marriage?

Ha, ha, ha, she laughed loudly. The laughter was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, instantly sweeping away the unpleasant things just now. It didn't seem to have happened to her at all.

"There's one more thing, I'll take you to another company tomorrow, pack up your things, and go back to the office. You go in first, and I'll go in later. She said.

Before she had recovered from the story she had just learned, she moved on to tomorrow's work. I didn't think much of what she said to pack up, but I didn't have to, just a cup to drink.

She quickly followed. As soon as she returned, the office was lively, giggling, and where she was, it seemed that there would be endless jokes and endless words, and any awkward topic as cold as ice and snow could melt hot in her mouth.

The next morning, the sun was shining. Lan Shundao drove me up and took me to another company with another friend of hers in the car. She said that let's visit this company for three days first, learn more things, and it will be of great help to our future work. The people in this company were very helpful and brought us water and a box lunch. Watching some employees come and go, busy, we just sat there and watched or went downstairs to the factory area to walk around. Her name is Shi Yu, let me call her Senior Sister. It turned out that she was Lan's first junior sister assigned to the work unit. She is very cheerful, loves to talk and laugh. I change my shoes every day, and the style of the shoes is really beautiful. She said that she was crazy about shoes, and all the money she had saved over the years was in shoes. We wandered around the empty factory area, and when the wind blew, it would be dusty. There were huge uncut rocks in the corners, and I couldn't really estimate their weight, at least they looked like the little hill that crushed the monkeys at the foot of the Marble Mountains. At this moment, we wandered to the front door of the factory, where two giant stone lions, the color of ripe sorghum in autumn, were squatting on the stone platform. Their big round eyes look at everyone who comes in and out of the factory, that is, they are cool and cool. Three days passed quickly, and Lan called and said that he would go home and rest for two days and wait for her call. I said I didn't have to go back to work, and she said no. I haven't come back to my senses for a long time, so didn't I work for her in the same company three days ago?
