XXII. A family of soldiers
Manman and Lin Yushi were chatting in the east and west, but I, the eastern, seemed absent-minded. Do you think, I have no money in my pocket and have to sit here as the boss for a treat, can my heart be relieved? Even I don't know when Lin Yushi called me, and I'm sure the one I heard was at least the third time he called me.
"What is Xiaoxue thinking?"
Of course, I couldn't tell him that I was thinking about how to make some money and settle the bill in a while, I tried to make myself look relaxed and smile, but I knew it must look worse than constipation: "No, no, I'm ...... Look at the snow. "I kind of admire the speed of my brain, the big snowflakes floating outside the window, which look bigger and more beautiful in the light.
"yes, snowflakes are beautiful, you love snow, don't you? Otherwise, how could it be called Xue Zhixue. ”
I wasn't in the mood to explain the origin of my name to him at this point, but I did like snow, so I nodded perfunctorily.
Manman immediately grabbed the topic and dragged Lin Yushi back to her jurisdiction: "Mr. Lin, your name sounds good, and your surname, it feels very romantic, Lin Yushi, chanting poetry in the forest with a rustling drizzle." The vine looked self-absorbed.
Lin Yushi said: "Miss Manman, you must have misunderstood, my name is Lin Yushi, but it is not a rainy rain, nor is it a poet's poem." My feather is the feather of a feather, and the stone is the stone of stone. ”
After listening to his explanation, Manman blushed a little, and was just intoxicated in vain. And I still like this name more, there is a sense of the general's bending bow and archery in the desert and the feeling of old age, "The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night." Ping Ming looked for the white feather, but he was not in the stone ridge. I didn't ask if his name came from Lu Lun's poem, so I casually asked:
"The person who gave you this name must be a soldier, or someone related to the army."
Hearing my words, he said with a little surprise on his face: "Yes, the name was taken by my father, my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother are all soldiers." ”
Manman said excitedly: "You turned out to be a military family, is your father a general, he must be very handsome in a military uniform, right?" ”
I saw a hint of melancholy on Lin Yushi's face, and hurriedly pulled the corner of Manman's clothes to prevent her from asking again. Just as the waiter began to serve, I was really hungry, and I didn't care about my pitiful thirty-one yuan, let alone my own food, so I picked up the chopsticks and let the two of them eat.
The taste is really good, but there are too many seasoning ingredients, I don't like to add all kinds of seasonings to rice since I was a child, I only like the most original and pure taste of food. However, as I grew older and studied outside all year round, I began to slowly adapt to the tastes of the public in society, but if I want to cook, I must still make it light and tasteless.
Manman was naturally pretending to be a lady, and occasionally picked up a small piece to eat, while chatting with Lin Yushi. Lin Yushi seems to be a gentleman too, the way those two thin lips chew is very tempting, or this is his original face, in short, they eat very elegantly. I don't care so much, as soon as the vine coughs, I have to excuse myself to leave, I have to fill my stomach before she coughs. Then I ate even more.
It is estimated that Manman can't stand my eating like this, it is too embarrassing for her, she coughed lightly twice. I'm really afraid of something, I haven't eaten enough, no, these dishes are just the way they eat, there will be leftovers, it's a pity, so I pretended not to hear it and continued to eat.
Manman glared at me fiercely, and I pretended not to hear, so she had to hide and continue to chat with Lin Yushi.
The last rose soup was served, no wonder it was called rose soup, there were rose petals floating there, it must be delicious.
Manman coughed twice while the soup was served, and then tugged at my clothes, I just thought about the delicious rose soup, and casually said, "Don't cough, let me drink the soup and then leave, okay?" ”
Lin Yushi was surprised: "Where is Xiaoxue going?" ”
I realized that I was getting helped, and Manman hurriedly said, "Oh, Xiaoxue's boss is going to Europe tomorrow, and she will go back to pack her boss later." ”
I nodded hurriedly, in fact, this is also the case.
Lin Yushi gave me the soup he had just filled and said, "Then drink it quickly, Xiaoxue." Turning to Manman, he said, "Miss Manman, is she here by herself or will I help you?" ”
Manman hurriedly said, "I'll come by myself." ”
I felt that he was not speaking quite right while drinking the soup, I thought about it and understood, he called me Xiaoxue, but every time I called Manman, I added the word Miss, why? Who knows why, drink soup. Just as I was swallowing heavily, the vine pulled me and said to Lin Yushi with a smile: "I'll go to the bathroom with Xiaoxue." ”
I thought, you can go to the bathroom, why don't you pull me, I don't want to go. But she pulled out of her seat. We turned the corner, and Manman said angrily, "Xiaoxue, what's the matter with you? Words don't count. ”
I hurriedly said: "You have to let me drink some soup before leaving, it's so delicious, it's a pity to throw it away." ”
"Okay, don't be so greedy, okay? Shall I invite you alone another day? ”
"Alright, I'll go," I remembered before I could turn around, "but Manman, I've brought thirty dollars, do you want me to go back and get the money for you?" ”
I glanced at you and said, "I know that you are a poor ghost, and I didn't plan to let you invite you." ”
After the two of us muttered, we returned to the table, and I put on my bag and said goodbye to Lin Yushi. After walking a few steps, you can still hear Lin Yushi say: "Xiaoxue is very humorous. Manman said, "She's like this, and it makes you laugh......"
Back home, Jiang Shuiyue was already sorting out her luggage, of course she blamed me for not coming back earlier to help her, in order to make up for it, I not only packed all her luggage, but also gave her a full body massage, and waited for the eldest lady to rest, and returned to my room, I was so tired that my bones were about to fall apart.
When I was sleeping sweetly, I was woken up by Jiang Shuiyue's ears: "Xiaoxue wake up, get up and help me make breakfast, I still have to catch a plane." ”
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at my watch, which was only half past three in the morning, and I felt like a wrapper in Haidu in the thirties of the twentieth century.
I got up, cooked, and sent her out, it was already half past five, and I would definitely be late for bed. I cleaned up the house, opened the window, took a deep breath, looked at the metropolis that was slowly waking up, and thought about what my family was doing on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion of thousands of families. Making dumplings, pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers......
In the morning, I went to the company for a half-day shift and told Mr. He his mobile phone number. Teacher He gave me a piece of paper with two addresses, the first one was Mrs. Wang, and the second was Mrs. Wu, and I needed to go to someone's house on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year to put on makeup. Teacher He told me not to be late, and to call me to inform me of future work.
I have my makeup case in order, and I can't be short of things. I now have my own makeup case, and Mr. He has given me a lot of business in the company to complete independently.
In the afternoon, I took my annual leave. I have nothing to do, so I look through the books on beauty and makeup, I hope I won't mess up tomorrow, this is my first business, I want to make money, I don't have to be so embarrassed if I have money, I can make my parents live a little better......
