Chapter 36: Roommates
Finally, it was 5:30 a.m., and the day's work was over.
Wen Liu packed up his things and was waiting for Li Mei to come back.
As soon as Li Mei came back, she quickly pulled Wen Liu, Li Mei had a little donkey at work, so the two of them went to the hotel where Wen Liu lived to pick up their luggage after punching the card like this.
Li Mei took the key and led Wen Liu to the staff dormitory, where the female engineer had not returned.
Li Mei helped Wen Liu tidy up first.
The women's dormitory is a suite, or a three-room one, and the female engineer didn't choose the master bedroom, so Wen Liu was embarrassed to choose.
When the bedroom was almost cleaned up, Wen Liu invited her to dinner in order to thank Li Mei.
After dinner, Li Mei took Wen Liu for a stroll again, so that she was familiar with the surrounding environment of the dormitory.
When they were separated, they reminded her to take the company's bus with the female engineer tomorrow, and someone would pick her up. By the way, the female engineer's name is Ye Tong.
Wen Liu entered the door and found that the light in the other secondary bedroom was on, and it seemed that the female engineer had returned.
Wen Liu thought about it for a while, and still came to say hello.
When I came to the door of someone's bedroom, others were wiping their hair, and I didn't see Wen Liu.
So, Wen Liu took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Ye Tong, I'm Wen Liu, I'm a new recruit, and I'm in the administration department now."
Ye Tong heard the voice, turned around and saw Wen Liu's outstretched hand, immediately put down the towel, and shook it back.
"I know you, Li Mei told me, welcome, I'm finally not lonely and lonely anymore."
Seeing Ye Tong teasing herself, Wen Liu felt that this must be another person who is easy to get along with.
Thinking about it, he immediately took out the snacks he had just bought and chatted with Ye Tong while eating.
From the conversation with Ye Tong, Wen Liu learned a lot of information.
It turned out that Ye Tong was as old as her, and she had been working in this industry for almost 10 years, and she was an old man, but she had just given birth to her second child, so she quickly returned to work.
This industry is busy, Ye Tong is like this, and he lives a life of "abandoning his husband and children" all the year round, but there is no way, after all, at this age, he is a house slave and a car slave, plus he has children, and there is pressure in life, even if he thinks about his children, he must consider the actual situation.
The two were chatting about the sales department, Ye Tong also persuaded her to stay away from that place, that place was complicated, and as she was talking, Ye Tong's eldest child's video came, Ye Tong wanted to coax the child to sleep, and Wen Liu had to go to wash and sleep.
The next day, the two went downstairs to wait for the shuttle after eating early.
……
After work today, Wen Liu said goodbye to Li Mei early, went to the gate of the construction site to wait for Ye Tong, and the two made an appointment to go shopping together to buy clothes, it was almost winter, it was cold, and the clothes should change seasons.
Because Li Mei's family is in the local area, she can't trouble her all the time, and Wen Liu plans to team up with Ye Tong in the future after work.
The two of them ate sauerkraut fish together, drank milk tea together, and bought the same high-waisted thin down jacket together.
Maybe it's because they are the same age, so there is no generation gap, Wen Liu and Ye Tong have been getting along very happily in a short time.
The two of them walked around until almost 10 o'clock, and Ye Tong said that he wanted to invite Wen Liu to eat and drink beer as a welcome gift.
Ye Tong took her to a barbecue restaurant near the dormitory, Ye Tong ordered a lot of skewers, and also ordered two catties of hemp small, a spicy fried snail and a spicy flower nail.
"Eh, Ye Tong, can we finish ordering so much?" Wen Liu asked worriedly.
"That's just how much, I can eat five catties of hemp by myself!"
"That's amazing, okay."
"What is that, by the way, we haven't ordered a beer yet." As he spoke, he beckoned to the boss.
"Boss, come...", suddenly forgot how much Wen Liu could drink.
Turning his head, he immediately looked at Wen Liu suspiciously, and before the words could be spoken, Wen Liu understood in seconds.
"Boss, just bring me a can of Wang Laoji."
"Can't you just drink a beer and get drunk? Are you allergic to alcohol? ”
"No, I won't!"
"Mom, you're 32, even if you're 23, you've been an adult for many years, and you still don't know how to drink beer?"
"This..."Wen Liu was speechless.
"Oh, this, that, that, that's all. The owner came 4 to listen to the beer. ”
"Knock", four beers came.
After a while, strings, maxiao, snails, and sixties came up one after another.
Ye Tong pulled the beer tab like an old-fashioned way and started with Wen Liu.
"Come on, roommate, you're welcome!"
"Thank you!" Under Ye Tong's infection, Wen Liu also let go of himself and became arrogant.
"Come on, come on, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, the hemp here is delicious!" Ye Tong greeted warmly.
The two of them ate hotly, drank too much wine, and naturally opened up the chatterbox.
"Eh, Ye Tong, why did you choose this industry, I think it will be very hard for girls to do engineering." Wen Liu asked curiously.
"At first, I think that there are many people at the construction site, tower cranes, lifts, and steel pipes are everywhere, which is full of insecurity for ordinary girls. But after a long time, you will feel that your heart will become very stable on the construction site. I can't say why, but that's how I really feel. ”
"But there are too many men on the construction site, and there should be very few women in this business, right?" Wen Liu asked curiously.
"Who said that? There are a lot of female workers working on the construction site alone, do you still think that the construction site is really a man's world? ”
"Hahaha, at least that's what I always thought before." Wen Liu replied with a smile.
"Why are you so pedantic! I've seen a real female engineer before, the kind from Party A's engineering department, that's a real cow, okay.
We are mainly in charge of budgets and bidding, which is just pediatrics, and the female engineer is the kind that follows the supervisor to accept the ...... In short, it's amazing. Ye Tong said with admiration.
"No, I think you guys are pretty good at the cost."
"Where, we are just trying to save money for the company on the basis of good materials." Ye Tong shook his head and said.
"No, you're already doing that." Wen Liu sincerely comforted.
"Yes, it's really harder than normal work. Well, it's all boiled out. When I first graduated, I had to learn something, and the knowledge in the books was still quite different from the actual situation.
At the beginning, I was a budget clerk in Party B, at the construction site, living in the temporary setting, I could hear the voice next door, I was a girl, or went to the first-tier city to fight. I often wear a hard hat, dangle on the construction site, and measure by myself.
In summer, you know, the weather is hot, the sun is hot, and those who should go to the construction site still have to go to the construction site, their hands are sunburned and peeled, and it is harder than the freshman military training, what can be done, hiccups~"
Ye Tong burped and continued.
