The next morning, I woke up very early, the scumbag brother was eating breakfast in the yard, and when he saw me walking out with his slippers, he took a sip of water and looked at me, with four big words written on his expression.

"Go to the cupboard and get a bowl, the food is not cold yet, since you came to live here, I haven't seen you get up so early, hey, the power of love."

Brother Scumbag sat there by himself, muttering to himself, I was thirsty, so I walked to the bucket, scooped up a large scoop of water and drank it.

Today's temperature makes people feel particularly satisfied, probably because of the early morning, blowing a few wisps of breeze, since there is a hint of coolness, the clouds in the sky are dyed a faint pink by the morning light, and the light is very bright, and it is very comfortable to see.

In the corner of the courtyard, there are a few wisps of wild vines growing wantonly, the rattans are green and stout, persevering to climb out of the wall, never tired, the Tianzhu Gui in the courtyard exudes a faint fragrance, it has big leaves, brown bark, like a plastic ornament, and like a loyal warrior, standing there day and night.

There are a few vine roses growing under the tree, they are not willing to be lonely, as if they are imitating the wild vines that climb the wall, quietly climbing and growing on the body of the Tianzhu Gui tree, the flowers are silent, and exude a strong vitality.

I saw the vibrant scene of various plants in the yard, and instantly thought of a spliced poem recited by Meng Fan: peach blossoms fly green water, a garden of fragrant grass welcomes the new green, affectionate peony contains spring tears, wild bamboo on the table, ten acres of Teng flowers fall ancient fragrance, and powerless roses lie on the branches.

When the scumbag brother saw me stunned and didn't move, his eyes were fluttering, and his expression was wooden, so he shouted loudly: "Stinky boy, you are stupid, come over to eat, call you several times, the meal will be cold for a while, what do you think so fascinated, my daughter-in-law will come tomorrow, and I am still thinking about something, hurry up and take the bowl." ”

He woke me up from the perfect mood, I scratched my head in embarrassment, ran to the cupboard, took out a large bowl, filled a bowl of porridge, and drank it in a big gulp.

Brother scumbag looked at me and said, "You have to go to the interview in the morning, if you don't want to go, don't go, don't talk about earning less, it's not close to your residence, if you really go to work every day, it's a problem." ”

I took a piece of pickle, threw it in my mouth and chewed it, drank another sip of porridge, and said to the scumbag brother: "I promised people to go and see it this morning, how can there be any reason not to go, and besides, I have nothing to do at home every day, let's take a look first, the work is not tired, it must be better than the previous workshop." ”

After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, Brother Scumbag put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up a cigarette and lit one, and said: "You are really stubborn, a tendon, it's not that I said you, you have come here, you have also seen the development opportunities of this city, why don't you try it, can't you wipe off your face, go out to do business, that face is worth a few dollars, if you think like this, what else do you do business, then it is better to go back to your hometown as soon as possible and do some work within your ability, which is better than having no goal here." ”

Brother Scumbag's words convinced me, yes, what was my original intention of coming to this city, I'm afraid I don't know, when Xue Xinyan was taken away by her mother, I only felt that I had nothing to love, and I was bored, I didn't think about why I came to this city, did I just want to come and take a look.

I'm really looking at myself now, I'm not as alive as the wild vine in the corner, every decision I make is self-deception, after a long time, I can't tell what is true and what is false, what is goal and ideal, what is exaggerated and boastful.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking a few puffs, I looked at Brother Scumbag and said, "Brother Scum, I know that you are for my good, you are giving me a period of time to get used to it, I promise that after I clear my thoughts, I will definitely follow you." ”

Brother Scumbag stood up, glanced at me, and said, "I'm too lazy to educate you every day, and I don't want to be motivated." ”

After saying that, he picked up the gloves and water glasses on the table, walked into the cart again, took out a few large bags of clothes, carried them on his shoulders, and strode out of the courtyard gate.

I cleaned up the basement room, and the yard was piled up with bottles as tall as a hill, and the basement passage was almost sealed.

It just so happened that there was a person collecting rags and debris outside the courtyard shouting: "Collect wine bottles and cans, collect miscellaneous waste." ”

I hurriedly ran out of the yard and shouted, "Excuse me, do you accept the beer bottles?" ”

He was riding a three-wheeled electric car, with some scrapped household appliances on the car, and some screws and iron sheets and other things, with gray hair, wrinkled face, a shriveled mouth, ragged clothes, and the words "poor people" written all over his body.

When he walked into the courtyard and saw the mountain of bottles, he frowned and said, "Young man, how much beer have you drunk?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't drink it alone." ”

He looked at me and said, "I can't fit this little electric car, and I have to make at least three trips to get it all away." ”

After hearing this, I hurriedly said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter how many times you go, as long as you can dispose of it." ”

I helped him load the car and check the numbers, and it took him about half an hour to come back from a trip, and we were busy for two hours before we completely emptied the bottles in the yard.

The old man took out a handful of change and said to me, "These bottles are sent to the scrap yard for a total of 62 yuan." ”

He counted the change, and when I saw this, I hurriedly said to the old man: "Uncle, you can keep this money, I am very grateful to Dade if you can help me transport these bottles out." ”

The old man looked at me with a look of surprise and said, "How can there be such a reason, take away your three carts of bottles for nothing, this is not good." ”

I smiled and said, "What I said is true, you can keep this money to buy something, I really don't need it." ”

I thought to myself, this money is enough for me to take the bus for a month, a good man Wang Tao, do good deeds without leaving a name, you can call me an incognito Lei Feng in the future, I secretly rejoiced in my heart.

The old man didn't shirk it, and praised it one after another: "Oh, there are too few young people as kind as you now, young man, you are really good." ”

I smiled sheepishly.

After sending the old man away, I looked at my watch again, 9 o'clock, it should be too late to go to the interview now, I went back to the basement, changed into a set of clothes, washed my face casually, and hurried out of the yard.

This garment factory is far from the city, I took a few bus stops and got off, the rest of the distance if you rely on foot at least half an hour, I thought, this will not be distressed about the money, simply take a taxi.

I sat in the car, the taxi was running quickly on the wide street, I suddenly remembered Zhang Xueyao, I haven't replied to her about what she asked me to do, I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, ready to open WeChat, at this time, the taxi driver's eldest brother said to me: "It's a young man." ”

After I paid the money, I thought to myself, it's not too late to reply to her after the interview, to be honest, I didn't think about whether to help her or not, I was afraid that the scumbag brother would know that it would be out of control, after all, Xue Xinyan is coming tomorrow, I don't want to make any moths at this juncture.

The garment factory is very green, 70% of the site is covered with camphor and cedar trees, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of greenery, like a well-groomed park, which is pleasing to the eye.

The factory is exceptionally clean and tidy, and the architectural style of the office building is also fresh and elegant, compared to the high-temperature factory where I worked before, it feels dozens of times better than there.

I walked into the office building and came to the agreed second-floor HR office, I stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and knocked softly.

"Come in"

It's still the crisp and pleasant female voice on the phone.

I pushed open the door and walked in, and behind the desk sat a delicate young woman of about 35 years old, she saw me come in, she stood up, she was wearing red and white striped short sleeves, black collar and sleeve hem, delicate cut, look small and exquisite, round neck showing beautiful collarbones. On the wrist of the left hand is a series of small bracelets with red circles, shining brightly in the sun.

I thought to myself, this woman must have been a stunner who fascinated everyone when she was young, and her body was simply perfect.

I smiled and looked at her and said, "Hello, I made an appointment on the phone, I'm here to interview for a job as a warehouse manager." ”

She looked at me again, then sat back in her chair and said, "Oh, I know, what kind of education do you have, and what garment factory did you work in before?" ”

After listening to this, I thought up and down, obviously I had written my academic qualifications on my resume, but she still wanted to ask me, and I was a little speechless, and I had to answer.

I whispered, "Me, I didn't finish high school, and I used to work in a garment factory in the north. ”

After listening to this, she pursed her gorgeous red lips, grabbed the mouse and clicked on the computer a few times, looked at me and said: "The workload of this position is not large, and the work is not tiring, to be honest, this job is very suitable for girls." ”

Seeing that I was silent, she sighed and said, "Okay, I've already told you about the benefits, if you want to stay, fill out this form." ”

She pulled out an A4 sheet of paper from a drawer and placed it on her desk.

I walked over to my desk, looked at the form, name, education, ID number, etc., I picked up the carbon pen, and was about to fill it out when the office door was pushed open.

I looked back and was instantly stunned, she was wearing a dark blue shawl coat, a velvet knee-length skirt, black delicate high heels, golden wavy hair draped over her shoulders, her red lips were gorgeous, her fair cheeks exuded a seductive luster, and a pair of crystal clear, shining eyes, which highlighted her handsome features and full of charm.

She is Zhang Xueyao, still carrying her delicate black leather bag.

She saw me at a glance, and with a face full of disbelief and surprise, she quickly walked up to me, looked up and down, and then turned her gaze to the gorgeous young woman behind the desk.

When I saw that it was her, I was also dumbfounded and surprised, what was she doing here, how did I meet her here.

Zhang Xueyao's eyes widened, looked at me and said, "Wang Tao, why are you here, are you, yes, here for an interview?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "yes, didn't I tell you I had an interview this morning?" ”

At this time, the gorgeous young woman asked in surprise, "You two know each other?" ”

Zhang Xueyao said: "Of course I know, Sister Zhao, he is my savior." ”

After hearing this, I hurriedly explained: "Don't say that, I can't afford to save my life." ”

After Zhang Xueyao heard this, she said coquettishly: "I said yes, hey, Sister Zhao, has he passed the interview, you have to keep him no matter what, he is a big talent." ”

Zhang Xueyao kept calling the gorgeous young woman Sister Zhao, which should have a lot to do with it, so she asked Zhao Xueyao and said, "What are you doing here, are you working in this company?" ”

Zhang Xueyao burst out laughing, and a cute little dimple was printed on her beautiful cheek.

She patted me and said with a big grin, "What, don't you want to work in the same company as me?" ”

I thought to myself, how could it be so coincidental, I ran to Zhang Xueyao's company by mistake, the conversation with her on the bus that day seemed to be still echoing in my ears, that day she told me, let me come to their company to try my luck, I politely refused, I didn't expect that now it is really crooked and came here, this damn fate.

Zhang Xueyao leaned her waist in front of the desk, crossed her arms, and looked at me with a smug expression, while the gorgeous young woman was a little overwhelmed.

After a while, the gorgeous young woman whispered: "Since everyone is an acquaintance, let's fill in the form quickly, and then give me two copies of my ID card and three one-inch photos." ”

Zhang Xueyao kept staring at me, making me a little dizzy, I coughed lightly, and asked the gorgeous young woman, "Excuse me, when can I go to work." ”

"If you finish the entry procedures today, you can go to work normally tomorrow."

As soon as I heard that I would go to work tomorrow, I suddenly felt that it was dark, and Xue Xinyan would come to this city to see me tomorrow, and I had to make time for anything.

I hurriedly asked the young woman, "Tomorrow, I can't go to work tomorrow, can I do it the day after tomorrow?" ”

The gorgeous young woman looked at her in surprise and said, "Why can't you go to work tomorrow?" ”

At this time, Zhang Xueyao also asked me curiously: "Yes, do you have a date tomorrow?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "I really have something urgent tomorrow that I can't come, uh, excuse me, can Sister Zhao be tolerant." ”

The gorgeous young woman looked at me for a while, sighed and said, "Okay, our company's rules and regulations are very strict, and you must abide by them after you join the company, you know." ”

I hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhao, I have taken it to heart." ”

After speaking, I was about to turn around and leave, but Zhang Xueyao quickly ran to me, stopped me and said, "You just want to leave like that?" ”

I instantly thought of what she asked me in WeChat, so I said in a foolish way: "May I ask Miss Zhang what else she has to say." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xueyao instantly grabbed my arm, her cheeks were covered with red rhyme, and she whispered, "You know it, and you still want to ask me." ”

The gorgeous young woman stood behind her and said with a curious face, "Are you two in love?" I said Xue Yao, you should really hurry up, your mother always tells me that you are too picky about finding a partner, this is not good, that is not pleasing to the eye, you must not choose, when the time comes, like me, you will become an older leftover girl, and no one will want it. ”

I was very surprised when I heard it, since this gorgeous young woman is an older single lady, this subverts my worldview, how is it possible, how can such a pretty beauty be not wanted, is it too high-minded, or do you think it's good to be single.

Zhang Xueyao smiled and said to the gorgeous young woman: "Sister Zhao, we are not in love, he is my bodyguard or my servant, today I will pull him to settle one thing, hehe." ”

The gorgeous young woman couldn't understand what she said, so she said, "If you want to flirt and scold you and sprinkle dog food to go out, don't stimulate me here." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xueyao glanced at her, Zhang Xueyao smiled with a spring breeze on her face, bent down and performed a standard etiquette to the gorgeous young woman, and said with a smile: "Yes, the little one is grateful, and the little one is down." ”

Zhang Xueyao pulled me out of the office, with a look of excitement and surprise, she stared at me with bright and clear eyes and said: "Wang Tao, you don't believe in fate, haha, anyway, I believe it, what do you call it, it's pie in the sky, no, it's a roe deer scooping fish, and the wild boar flies into the rice pot." ”

I laughed and said, "What nonsense are yours, how did I become a wild boar and a roe deer?" ”

She grabbed my hand and said, "Isn't this an analogy, and whether you will help me through this difficult time, I am so anxious that I will go to the house." ”

I didn't see that she was in a hurry at all, and her performance was more of a joy and joy, like a little magpie, chirping.

I pulled out my hand, looked at her and said, "Miss, how are you going to let me help you?" ”

When she saw me say this, she became even more excited, and said, "You come with me in the afternoon, and I will help you dress up, and then you will have dinner at my house in the evening, and everything will be arranged by me." ”

I thought to myself, I'm going to have to give you the time this afternoon.

I asked again, "Don't you have to go to work in the afternoon, or do you want to leave early?" ”

After hearing this, she proudly curled her thin lips and said: "I am a designer, I come and go freely, as long as I get the work right, there is no fixed commute time." ”

I was even more embarrassed when I heard this, the treatment level of designers and ordinary employees is different, not only the salary is very different, but even the working hours are arranged freely and abundantly.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she added: "Young Master, are you thinking that I have a good job, free time or something, let me tell you, we work very hard, I am only in a learning stage now, and I have not fully participated in the design, but sometimes in order to catch up with a project work, it is very common to stay up late overtime, so sometimes we are also very envious of your employees who can commute to work normally, hey, pity my poor life." ”

I laughed out loud when I heard this, she glared at me and said, "What's so funny, what I said is true, suffering in the company, and going home and being forced by my parents to go on a blind date, isn't it a shameful life." ”

I looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss, this person has hung up, you should call Hongyan a miserable life." ”

She looked at me in amazement and quipped, "Hey, okay, you, the head of analysis is the way, and I am really impressed if I haven't seen it for a few days." ”

I shook my head bitterly and said, "Don't make fun of me, say, how you want to dress me, I don't have the money to pay out of my own pocket." ”

She gave me a blank look and said, "You are my puppet and servant, of course I paid for you to build your image." ”

I looked down at my watch, it was already noon, and I said to Zhang Xueyao, "It's noon now, let's finish lunch first." ”

Zhang Xueyao took my arm and said, "Let's go, the master invites you to eat something delicious." ”

After saying that, he pulled me out of the company gate.
