Chapter 213: We Drift Alone
finally returned home, and Zhong Yi was dragged by Zhong's mother to participate in various wedding banquets, and ate her weight so that it was proportional to her height.
After eating the banquet for three days in a row, all kinds of big fish and meat, I ate it so much that my face was green. She thought that if she continued like this, she really wouldn't even have the desire to eat meat in the future.
But Zhong's mother was very stubborn, didn't listen to her complaints, and didn't give her a chance to resist. Zhong Yi is both helpless and sad, helpless to wait for the company's physical examination report to come out, it is estimated that all colleagues in the company know how "delicious" she had during the Spring Festival, and she is sad to deal with the "Spring Festival interrogation" of seven aunts and eight aunts.
complained to Xin Rui and found that the other party was even more unlucky than her.
"You are all light, you are going to the wedding banquet, and I am attending a "large blind date banquet"! There are more than a dozen people sitting around a table, men, women, old and young, all of whom can make up a few tables of mahjong!! Xin Rui sighed: "If I knew that my mother had such an idea, I wouldn't want to set foot in the wedding." I am only 21 years old, and I am facing forced marriage at home, and I really sympathize with the majority of compatriots who are forced to marry. ”
"Maybe Auntie just wants an excuse to keep you at home."
"That's even worse, it's going to suffocate me." Xin Rui said with a serious face.
A few days after the words came out, Xin Rui was called to another city by a phone call from the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to do an interview. Before leaving, I liked to go to the airport to see her off, watching my best friend for many years now become mature, her face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and her voice was a little choked: "You said that you are not good at studying what major, you have to study journalism, how can there be a girl running around without a home......"
Before she could speak, she was interrupted by an impatient look from Xin Rui, who waved her hand in surrender with a big grin: "Really, it's even more nagging than my mother." Girls in love are terrible, I can understand it. ”
"Take care of yourself, wait for me to find you in City A. You'll need to have your wallet ready. I'm in for a treat. Xin Rui hugged Zhong Yi and patted her on the back gently, "Don't miss me too much~"
"When you come to City A, I will treat you to the most famous food in City A." likes to burst into laughter, and the nature of foodies has really not changed at all.
As soon as the Spring Festival passed, Xu Huaisheng should also go back to work in City A, and he liked to take a month's vacation, and there was still more than half a month left, so he stayed at home and had nothing to do, so he went back to City A with him, so that the magazine could assign her any work.
After the annual leave, I clocked in on the first day of work, liked the magazine office I went to earlier, and after tidying up my desktop, I went downstairs to buy a few cups of coffee and exquisite small cakes, and carried them back to the magazine office.
Colleagues came to work one after another, and when they saw her, they all said hello, "Morning." Aren't you still on vacation, why did you come here so early? ”
Zhong Yi smiled slightly: "Morning." Being idle at home is also idle, so I'm here to help you share some of the work. I bought coffee and cake and you're welcome. ”
"Thank you." Colleagues smiled contentedly.
"Sister Zhongyi, aren't you still on vacation?" As soon as Xiao C saw her, his eyes were about to pop out in surprise. Xu didn't expect that there would be people who could not enjoy the holidays and come to the magazine office that eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Yes, but you can't afford to do the work." Zhong Yi curled his fingers and gently tapped on her forehead, "I bought coffee, drink some refreshment, look at your two panda eyes, I stayed up late to catch up on the drama last night." ”
Little C smiled and covered his face embarrassedly: "Thank you, Sister Zhongyi." Love you. ”
After the annual meeting, the magazine began to work normally, busy, and the time was tight and fulfilling.
After receiving a text message from Lin Xixi, Zhong Yi just walked out of the studio, and before he had time to catch his breath, he was called away by Xiao A, who came in a hurry. When she finished her work, she saw an unread text message on her phone.
The text message time showed 1:13, and now it's 4:50. Lin Xixi asked her for the specific time she got off work on the text message, and Zhong didn't think much about it, and quickly replied to a text message.
Half a minute later, the mobile phone "dingdong" sounded, and another text message from Lin Xixi jumped into view: Okay, when you get off work, we will go eat hemp small.
After getting off work, Zhong Yi walked out of the building, and at a glance saw Lin Xixi standing in the cold wind with his arms crossed to his chest, stomping his feet constantly, and wearing only a thin down jacket.
"Sissy." She screamed, and when Lin Xixi saw her, her eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands and strode towards her.
"It's time to get off work." Lin Xixi raised a smile and stretched out her hand to hold her arm: "Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late, and there will be no place." I don't know why, the shop we frequented in college was not doing well at first, and I don't know who took photos and put them on the Internet for publicity and promotion, but now business is good, but there are too many people to eat every day. After a pause, she said, "Alas, I really miss the time when it was in a recession. ”
After ten bus stops, they finally arrived at the shop where they used to go to the tooth festival in their dormitory.
Although the boss's business is booming now, and he has also opened many branches in other districts, and it is very close to the place where he likes to work, Lin Xixi insists on going to the old store to eat, to put it bluntly, to eat a feeling, and remember the youth that has passed.
The boss is no longer the boss of the year, but a different person. Lin Xixi didn't care who the boss was replaced with, so she ordered a dozen beers and drank them first, and Ma Xiao didn't come up for a while.
Lin Xixi poured herself a glass of beer, and as soon as she looked up, the cup quickly bottomed out, and she poured another glass and went straight to her stomach.
Zhong Yi sat opposite her, indifferently watching Lin Xixi drink cup after cup, and did not persuade her. After she finished drinking a whole bottle of beer by herself, she asked, "Did the department manager scold you?" The bus met a pervert? Wallet stolen and can't eat? Or did you quarrel with your boyfriend again? ”
Lin Xixi nodded, shook his head again, picked up another bottle of beer and poured it into the cup, his face full of melancholy: "Today, I smashed a stack of documents on my computer desk with two points, and scolded me in front of my colleagues, 'I can't do this little thing well, you won't understand until I say it a few times'!" Then I couldn't get angry, picked up the papers on the table and threw them in his face, pointed at his nose and scolded him for "pigs and dogs are not as good", and then I was punished. Obviously, I didn't do anything wrong, but he was the one who was at fault, he deliberately let us work overtime, and he didn't pay overtime, and he stole other people's achievements and looked at ease, I couldn't get used to him for a long time......"
As soon as she tilted her head, she poured a few more sips of beer, choking on tears rolling in her eyes, desperately holding back her tears: "Hmph! I will be suppressed and bullied in vain, and then I will shake out all the ugly things he has done, and the company will decide to fire me! Lin You, a cowardly and incompetent trash, was afraid that the heat would affect his future prospects, so he proposed to break up with me, and he turned his face and got involved with the daughter of another department manager! That pair of dog men and women, I wish them an early death and no more life! ”
"So, you still got angry because your boyfriend split your legs, and you fell out with the company and resigned." After listening calmly to Lin Xixi's account of her tragic ordeal, she picked up the beer on the side, poured herself a glass, and took a sip.
The bitterness of the beer spread in her mouth, and the alcohol concentration was not high, so she couldn't get drunk even if she wanted to, so she boldly indulged Lin Xixi to use wine to drown her sorrows. In fact, the narrative and intersperses of the whole thing are reversed, and I like to think about it carefully and directly reverse the order before and after.
Lin Xixi's face changed slightly, and her eyes fluttered unnaturally, obviously being poked at the pain point by Zhongyi, and guessed correctly that she was hiding the core of the whole thing. She still said the same thing, she was right, why did all the fault fall on her in the end, shouldn't it be Lin You's bastard and that rich girl who were at fault?
"Lincisi, are you a pig brain. If you want to go, he will go! ”
"I'm out of love......"
"And what are you going to do next?"
"Like, can I go to you for a few days first? When I got a job, I moved out, really! Lin Xixi looked at Zhong Yi aggrievedly, his eyes were a little drunk, and he was very confused: "Otherwise, I can pay half of the rent, although I'm not sure if I can find a new job as soon as possible." ”
She said she invited her to dinner, and in the end she was willing to pay. Thinking about it later, I only blamed her for being soft-hearted for a while and didn't give her a physical blow, so that she could remember it for a long time in the future.
Lin Xixi, who had no job, even had a problem with accommodation, and finally prevented her from living on the streets and being abducted and trafficked by traffickers to the mountains to be used as a fertility tool for others, and generously vacated another room in the apartment for her to move in without charging rent.
"Dead girl! I thought she could open her mind and grow snacks, but I didn't expect to be so stupid! I really think of myself as the Cinderella in a romance drama, and if I lose a crystal slipper, I will meet the prince! Knowing that Lin Xixi had fallen out of love and lost her job, Xu Sa immediately called Zhongyi to confirm that this was true, and said angrily: "Just like her, she can't survive two episodes at most in the TV series." As for her, tell her to answer the phone. ”
"Still sleeping."
On the night Lin Xixi moved in, she felt pity for her falling out of love and being unemployed, and made her a hot pot. Probably because she had been cared for for a long time, Lin Xixi quickly came out of her grief, and immediately took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the hot pot she made for her, and posted it to the group, praising Zhongyi's ingenuity.
As a result, Xu Sa turned on his mobile phone the next day, and after reading the group message, he immediately exploded, regardless of 3721, he immediately called Zhongyi and scolded Lin Xixi fiercely, which was considered to be discouraged.
Lin Xixi sat on the sofa with a pillow, her face still had the fog she had when she first got up, but her eyes were exceptionally clear. Xu Sa's phone call woke her up completely from self-abandonment, she thought, I shouldn't give up like this, I still have a bright future, I will definitely meet better jobs and more perfect people.
After the mind is clear. She started looking for jobs online and submitting resumes to major companies. Sometimes it takes two or three days to get a reply, sometimes a week or so, and sometimes there is no reply at all. After sitting still for a week, Lin Xixi decided to go out and look for a job! Casting online is even more difficult than casting a net to catch a goldfish, she has to act.
When she came home from work every night, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled a smell of pickled pepper-flavored chicken feet rushing to her face, and she couldn't dodge it, and her newly bought clothes were quickly contaminated with that haunting smell. The thought of being troublesome to clean up, she was two big heads.
After changing his shoes at the entrance, he walked to the living room with his slippers, Lin Xixi was holding a bucket of instant noodles and eating with relish, looking at the video playing on the TV without blinking, "I'm back." ”
Zhong Yi sat down beside her weakly, rubbed his sore shoulders, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a resume under a pile of gnawed chicken bones. She casually asked, "How was the interview?" ”
"I invested in a few companies, and they all said to go back and wait for the notice. In my opinion, there will be no drama. Lin Xixi took a sip of instant noodles and said vaguely: "During the interview, I also ran into an old pervert, whose squinting eyes glanced back and forth at me, disgusting me." ”
"I'm going to take a shower first." Zhong Yi stood up, walked back to his room, and when he came out, he told again: "Remember to take out the garbage after eating, and the smell is cleared." ”
Lincy raised her "OK" gesture with her back to her, her eyes never off the TV for a second.
