Chapter 11: Don't Starve Yourself to Death
After arriving at the hotel, Mianmian was a little dizzy by the bright headlights in the store, and the floor tiles were smooth enough to illuminate the figure.
When Elaine pushed her a beautifully bound menu, worried that she wouldn't be able to order the dishes, she nervously pushed it back to Elaine, saying, "You can watch it, let's just eat it." ”
Elaine picked up the menu and flipped through it carefully, then said to the waiter: "A cold tofu shredded, a kung pao chicken, two bottles of cold beer, and two bowls of rice." ”
Mianmian feels that Elaine has really changed a lot in City B for more than a year, she speaks Mandarin very slipperily, and she is quite stylish in doing things!
Waiting for the waiter to place an order, Ai Lian whispered to Mianmian: "In restaurants in City B, dishes are usually eaten with rice. It's not like our hometown that eats steamed buns all at once. ”
Mianmian said, "Then I have to learn to eat rice." ”
Elaine smiled: "Do you still learn to eat rice?" You can eat it when you put it in your mouth, but you feel that you can't eat enough rice all the time. ”
After a while, the waiter took two bottles of beer and brought a plate of shredded tofu.
The waiter opened the beer in front of her, Elaine picked up a bottle and put it in front of Mianmian, and said to her seriously: "You must drink this wine, I have always looked forward to drinking with you, you have been studying and have no chance, and now you can be regarded as stepping into society, drinking must be learned." ”
"Hee-hee, who said you have to drink at work? Does your boss at work allow you to drink? Slowly adapting to the environment, Mianmian also made jokes.
Ai Lian ignored Mianmian, poured her a large glass of beer, picked up her cup and said: "Catch the wind and wash the dust for you, we have made this glass of wine, and wish our beautiful Liu Mianmian to find a job as soon as possible, earn more tickets and earn more money, and marry a good husband as soon as possible." ”
"I still have more tickets to earn, and I don't know where to find a job. Come, I wish I don't starve myself to death in City B, cheers! ”
Mianmian touched the wine glass with Elaine, raised the glass and drank it all, the coldness of the beer beering believing the peculiar sour taste. A faint smell of wheat lingers in the mouth.
After eating two bites of food, Mianmian asked, "Ah Lian, what kind of job do you think I can find?" I'm at a loss right now! ”
"Anyway, you can't find a supermarket tally clerk or anything like that, you graduated from high school, and you can write and calculate, so you have to find a better one." Elaine helped her with ideas.
"I know there's a talent market not far from here, and a lot of people go there to find a job, and I'll accompany you to find a job tomorrow."
"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
"I told the manager, I will take a day off tomorrow and accompany you to find a job! Your business is the biggest thing, hee-hee! Elaine said righteously.
Under the light, Elaine's face looked fairer and more vivid, a pair of enthusiastic big eyes staring at her former friend, full of honesty, and Mianmian felt that her eyes were hot.
"Okay, I'll say thank you without seeing you." Mianmian also poured a glass of wine for Elaine and touched her gently.
When the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, it was almost nine o'clock.
It just so happened that there was no stall selling fruits, so Mianmian bought half a watermelon under Ai Lian's obstruction, and a bunch of bananas said that she was going to take it to Ai Lian's father-in-law, and her mother often taught her at home, and it was not strange to have many people!
After returning home, Elaine's husband Huang Jianwen had already returned. Wearing only a pair of loose shorts, sitting on the bed blowing a fan and looking at his phone.
Seeing Mianmian and them coming in, he quickly got up to welcome her.
Elaine pulled Mianmian to her husband and said, "My classmate, Liu Mianmian, we were fine when we went to school." I am wronged that you went to live with our father, and Mianmian lived here with me today. ”
As she spoke, Elaine took the pillow and sheet and stuffed it into her husband's hand, blasted him out, and Huang Jianwen smiled and went next door.
Ai Lian went to the door and took out a large bathtub and took half a basin of water, poured the water in the plastic bottle in the morning into the bathtub, mixed the water temperature, and said to Mianmian: "You hurry up and take a bath, there is no way, the conditions are simple, you can wipe it in the house, the towel on the stool is new."
After speaking, he closed the door and helped Mianmian guard at the door. While fighting the flying mosquitoes, he talked to Mianmian.
Take off the sweaty clothes you've worn all day and scrub them briefly. Elaine also washed it quickly, and after lighting a plate of mosquito coils, the two fell asleep.
"Ah Lian, I've been married for more than a year, how do you feel?" Liu Mianmian curiously pushed and pushed Ai Lian to ask.
"Huh...... Mianmian has also become bad, you won't know if you get married yourself! Elaine chuckled and quipped.
"I think Jianwen and your father-in-law are very good people, are they okay with you?"
"There are no bad people in your eyes, silly girl!" Elaine rolled over noncommittally and muttered.
The two of them talked like this, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Mianmian was woken up by the sound in the yard. I looked at the small alarm clock on the table, and it was just 5:40.
She rolled over and got out of bed, took out her toiletries and went to the sink in the yard to wash, and when Mianmian returned to the room, Ai Lian had already gotten up and dragged Mianmian to the toilet outside the courtyard.
The toilet is about 200 meters away from the yard, and women in nightdresses are seen carrying plastic toilet buckets to the toilet from time to time on the way.
The smell of the open-air public toilet is so smoky that Liu Mianmian wants to vomit, it's not hypocritical, it's really worse than the manure at home, and City B has both the glamour of high-rise buildings, as well as dirty and messy places!
After everything was cleaned up, Ai Lian arranged for Mianmian to change into mature clothes, after all, she had to look for a job, and she couldn't let the recruiting unit see that she was too young and had no work experience.
Mianmian changed into a white shirt with a few streamers on her chest. Underneath is a pair of light brown pants. On his feet he was still the same pair of black half-heeled sandals, and the soles were a little thin.
After seeing her change clothes, Ai Lian asked her to take a look in a circle, and her mouth smacked: "This figure is good, everything looks good!" However, I think your little shirt with a black skirt would be better. ”
As she spoke, she pulled out a skirt from her simple closet and asked Mianmian to change into.
After Mianmian changed into the little black dress she chose, Elaine clapped her hands and exclaimed: "You are like this, you really look like a little white-collar worker at work." Ha ha! ”
went to her father-in-law's house to explain, and Elaine led Mianmian away, and had breakfast on the side of the road. Get in the car and go straight to the talent market.
Liu Mianmian's heart is anxious and hesitant at the moment.
She knows that although she and Elaine are best friends, after all, Elaine is now married, and it is impossible for her to stay at my house for a few days and I will stay at your house for a few days like when she was in school before.
I must find a job immediately, and the more than 1,000 yuan in my hand may be able to last until next month's salary.
It would be best if, as Elaine said, there are factories where you can eat and live.
Liu Mianmian secretly decided in her heart that she must find a job no matter what today and can't make trouble for Ai Lian anymore.
