Chapter 10: Call Me Xiao Gu
After thanking him repeatedly, he looked at the man carefully, although he was dressed a little fancy, but his smile was clean and his teeth were white.
After leaving home, she received help from a stranger for the first time, which made her feel that the road ahead was not so difficult.
She quickly left the queue to pick up the water, and stood three steps away from the flower T-shirt. I saw the man skillfully tear open all kinds of spice packets, quickly fill them with boiling water, and hand them to her.
Liu Mianmian wanted to take the instant noodles and go first, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she had to wait for the man nervously.
When the man saw that she was still in place, he showed his white teeth and said, "Go and sit in a place where there are few people." There are a lot of people here, and the seats are dirty. ”
The flower t-shirt is very welcoming and talkative. Introduce yourself as Gu and let Mianmian call him Xiao Gu. His home is in Yongfeng Township, which is ten miles away from Yuncheng City, and he said that he followed others to make waterproofing. I have been working in City B for three years and know City B very well.
Mianmian knew that the people who took this train were all people from around Yuncheng, so she was also relieved to ask Xiao Gu a lot of questions, as well as the precautions for arriving in City B, and Xiao Gu patiently answered them one by one.
Hearing that Mianmian's classmates worked in a supermarket, Xiao Gu said: "It's good for girls to work in a supermarket, the wind can't blow, and the sun can't shine." If you go, let your classmates go to the supermarket and ask, do they still want people? If you want to use people, you can do it together. ”
Mianmian also nodded again and again when she heard it, and she was glad to meet such an enthusiastic fellow traveler as Xiao Gu.
When everyone got on the bus one after another, the middle-aged man who had not spoken much to Mianmian in the morning began to talk to Mianmian and asked where her home was? The purpose of going to City B, etc., all of them were honest answers from fellow villagers without thinking too much.
"If you go to City B to look for a job, why don't you go with me, I work in a very big entertainment city, and the little girl who works there earns a lot and is not tired."
The man's gaze wandered inquiringly over Mianmian's face.
"What are you doing?" Mianmian asked.
"I usually drink, sing or something, it's not difficult at all, and the good-looking ones earn more."
Mianmian understood what the man said about the work and ignored him.
The man saw that Mianmian's face was cold in an instant, but he was not angry, he still had nothing to say from time to time, and Mianmian had to barely cope.
Perhaps seeing the cowardice in her heart, the man enthusiastically put his left arm on the back of the Mianmian seat, and from behind it looked as if he was holding Mianmian in his arms.
Mianmian was uncomfortable, so she had to lean as far as possible against the window.
Seeing that she was silent, the man became even bolder, and while he had nothing to say, he pretended to put his hand on her right leg unintentionally.
Mianmian quickly retracted her legs, and the man licked his face and said, "You look like this, how can you make money in City B?" ”
Mianmian had goosebumps all over her body, feeling ashamed and uneasy, and she wanted to scold but felt very unable to open her mouth.
Suddenly, someone in the back seat tapped her on the shoulder.
Looking back, it was Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu said, "Let's change seats, I want to lean against the window." ”
Mian Mian said yes in a row, quickly got up, and thanked him a little more in his heart.
When Xiao Gu changed over, the man sat stiffly and couldn't get up. He walked over with a grin, kicked him and said, "The good dog is still in the way?" You won't let me? ”
When the man saw that he was fierce, he was silent.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the car had already entered the bus station in City B.
After following the crowd out of the car, Mianmian felt a burst of hot gasoline smell coming to her face, and she wanted to vomit after smoking.
After resting on the tree on the side of the road for five minutes, Xiao Gu enthusiastically ran to the newsstand on the side of the road and bought a bottle of cold water for her.
Seeing that she was carrying a large bag and a small bag, someone on the side of the road asked, where to go? Taxi? Mian shook his head again and again in refusal.
Xiao Gu said that he lived in Tongzhou, and the Baijialou that Mianmian was going to was the easternmost part of Chaoyang District, and he was almost on the same road as himself, so he asked Mianmian to take the car with him. Mianmian's heart was full of joy and gratitude.
At 5 o'clock in City B, the sun was still scorching, and those who shone in the face did not dare to open their eyes. Sweat trickled down her hair, and the white T-shirt stuck to her skin, making her feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the long queue of cars on the road and the bustling crowd, Mianmian felt dizzy. It's not that Xiao Gu reminds her from time to time that she really regrets her impulse to go to City B alone.
Mianmian saw the congestion of buses and subways in City B, and after arriving at the subway terminal of Line 1, Xiao Gu helped her take a taxi, saying that she was going to take the bus to Tongzhou, and the two separated.
As soon as she got into the taxi, she encountered a big traffic jam, and when she saw the number on the meter jumping up, Liu Mianmian felt her heart beat faster.
Listening to the taxi driver's eloquent conversation along the way, even the taxi driver in City B is so knowledgeable, funny and talkative, it is really a good place for outstanding people!
At seven o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the Jiajiafu supermarket where Elaine was. After paying the fare, Mianmian pulled the box and walked to the supermarket, and a person stood at the door and asked her to store her bag before she could enter.
Mianmian said that she was looking for Elaine, and Elaine, who heard the voice, quickly ran out, and when she saw her, Elaine happily said, "Why is it so slow?" I've been waiting for it to death. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly went to ask for leave with the manager on duty. Then excitedly took Mianmian's hand and walked home.
Elaine pulled the box and excitedly introduced her to the surrounding environment as she walked.
Mianmian was also dizzy when she heard it, and when she first arrived, she could barely tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, where she could remember the parks, supermarkets, and shopping malls she said.
He was led by Elaine and turned a few corners before entering a compound.
Elaine pulled out her key, opened the door to one of the rooms, and took a cursory look at the room.
The whole room was only about twenty square meters, and a large wrought-iron double bed took up a lot of space, and at the end of the bed was a simple checkered wardrobe, and many clothes were hung on a thick rope that spanned the whole house.
A broken square table was placed near the doorway, and on it was a gas stove. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and a large stack of stainless steel bowls are placed on the sides. The gas canister was placed against the corner of the wall.
It can be seen that Elaine has deliberately cleaned up in order to welcome herself, but the shoes and other miscellaneous items piled up under the bed still make this cramped room look cluttered.
Seeing Mianmian observing her residence, Ai Lian smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Renting a house to live in is on this condition." I pay 200 yuan a month in rent. You put your clothes in the house, bring your valuables, and let's go out to eat, sometimes thieves come in this yard. ”
Elaine arranged for Mianmian to put her luggage away, locked the door and went to the next door to call her father-in-law to go to the hotel together.
Ai Lian was watching TV with a fan in the house, and when he saw Mianmian, he hurriedly came out to say hello: "Coming?" It's not crowded in the car, right? ”
Mianmian replied: "No, there are still vacant seats!" ”
Elaine's father-in-law told them that he had just cooked noodles and finished eating, and suggested that Elaine take Mianmian to the nearby "Xiaoxiangyuan" restaurant, saying that the food there was good.
Seeing that her father-in-law was not going, Elaine pulled Mianmian out. The smell of asphalt and coil in Elaine's public house made me dizzy.
Mianmian asked, "Aren't you called Jianwen?" ”
"Whew! No matter what he does, I don't know when he will come home, and he drinks with a bunch of fellows outside every day! ”
