6. Historical similarities are striking
"Well, okay, let you know when the assignment is going to work." The office uncle picked up a stack of papers with a large clip, put it next to him, and continued to bury his head in writing.
I looked at him in a daze, not thinking about whether I could assign work as I did ten years ago, but thinking about why he was the same as ten years ago, holding things in the same folder, saying the same things to me, and writing the same things......
The uncle seemed to feel that something was wrong, stopped his pen and looked up, and suddenly realized: I am still in his office. "You can go, your file will be accepted by our county education bureau, and you will be notified if it is assigned."
"Oh!" I lamented the similarity of history and bowed out.
When I went downstairs, I looked in the mirror next to the stairs, and I really looked at me ten years ago! Short hair, clear and thin, the surface still looks like a single eyelid. My eyes are very strange, obviously double eyelids, but the upper layer of eyelids covers the inner layer, so from childhood to adulthood, people say that I have single eyelids. It wasn't until I was twenty-four or five years old that my double eyelids slowly appeared, and they became more and more beautiful.
I grew long hair when I was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, and I was more elegant and quiet with long hair, but I thought it was good at this time, short hair, a little naughty in the quiet, and in any case I never looked like a striking showman.
Looking at the mirror, I wondered in my heart, was that ten years a dream, or is it a dream now? I struggled to think about what happened in the period between the time I was in the car accident and when I woke up and got back on the bus I had taken home ten years ago. Something must have happened, but I just couldn't remember anything after racking my brain.
Out of the office building of the Education Bureau, the sun in July is as hot as it was ten years ago, no, it should be said, it is ten years ago, and it is as hot as it is now! It sounds ridiculous, but my mood is not ridiculous, I got on the bike, went home in the scorching sun like I did ten years ago, told my parents that there was no assignment of work, my mother's face was the same ugly as ten years ago, and my father told me that it was okay as ten years ago, and so on it would be assigned.
As I did ten years ago, I bowed my head and finished a bowl of rice, and went into my room to lie on the bed and watch "Dream of Red Mansions" in a daze. Then, like ten years ago, I was plucked by my brother and woke up, saying that he was going to eat eggs with tomatoes and asked me to buy eggs.
Parents are too spoiled to their younger brother, our family conditions are not good, now the weather is hot, the chickens raised at home do not lay eggs, as long as the younger brother wants to eat eggs, my mother will buy it immediately, I would rather not buy other useful things, but also to satisfy my younger brother. It's my mother's doting, and my younger brother will spend money when he has nothing to do all day.
I took the ten dollars from my mother, sighed in my heart, and rode to buy eggs.
I should have convinced my mother not to spoil my brother anymore, or she would go down the same path as she did in that life. But how can I get my mother to listen to me?
The history is strikingly similar, after arriving in the county seat, like that life, I met Boss Xie who was selling eggs, but at this time he was just a vendor setting up a stall. I pushed the cart over, like I did ten years ago, and asked the price:
"How much is a pound?"
"Two pieces of one."
"Don't all men sell for two pieces? Why do you still sell two pieces of one? "I used exactly the same words with him as I did ten years ago, because I had been living in poverty at that time, and I learned to bargain when I was a child when I bought things, and no matter what I bought, I had to bargain, and if I didn't bargain, I felt uncomfortable, and this habit didn't change until my salary increased many times.
He smiled at me and said, "How much do you want to sell it for two dollars?" ”
In fact, ten years ago, I didn't really want to cut the price, but I was used to bargaining, and when I heard him say sell, I regretted why I didn't say a piece of nine, a piece of eight is better. But it has been exported, and it will definitely not be cut down again, and now I am completely out of curiosity about the repetition of history, so I said: "I want five catties, your weight is enough, I will weigh it when I go back." ”
The peddler said while picking up eggs: "Don't worry, I can't pit you, only more, no less, go back and weigh it casually, if it's not enough, come back to me." ”
It's incredible, his demeanor and language are exactly the same as ten years ago, as if he knew me well, but I really didn't know him at that time.
"What grade are you in?" He asked again.
At that time, I thought to myself: What grade am I going to to hinder you? But now I think it's something else, repeating history: "I graduated early." ”
"Oh? So where do you work? ”
Ten years ago, when he asked this sentence, I was annoyed with him, selling an egg and taking care of people's work? Now I try not to laugh and say, "I farmed at home until I graduated from elementary school. "I've always kept a low profile, but I don't have much capital to be high-profile.
He seemed to be more interested: "Then will you settle the score?" I happen to be short of people here to sell eggs, so you come and sell eggs to me, and I'll give you ten yuan a day. ”
When I came back from rebirth, of course I knew that he was going to ask this sentence, and nothing had changed, and he said it. Ten years ago, when he said this, I was a little scared, both wanting to find a job and afraid that he would have some intentions. Now I know what he's going to say, just waiting to be verified.
He "seems" to see what was on my mind and said, "Don't worry, you come here every morning to watch the stalls, and I will pay you when the stalls are closed in the afternoon, and I can't do that on the side of the road...... What, right? I already have a girlfriend, I work in a shoe factory, I just lack an egg seller, and I have a stall over there, so I can't keep busy. ”
Ten years ago, I thought in my heart, this is not bad, sitting and calculating, ten yuan a day, the old teacher in my neighbor's house has taught all his life, and now he only earns more than 400 yuan a month. This is much better than watching "Dream of Red Mansions" at home, and I have read "Dream of Red Mansions" five times. Now, as I did ten years ago, I don't speak, waiting for his next words.
When he saw that I was hesitant to answer, he said, "That's it, you come to work tomorrow, and I'll take care of a meal at noon." ”
I looked at the eggs, and then at him, and he wasn't handsome, he was a little dark, skinny, not as fat as the beer belly that grew ten years later, and now he was looking at me with an expectant gaze. I nodded and said the same thing as I did ten years ago: "Okay, but no matter how much you sell, you have to pay me that day, or I won't come the next day." ”
He nodded happily: "Of course, one day is counted." ”
In this way, I started my career of selling eggs again, in the last life, I sold eggs to him, which is also an indispensable part of my life, in this life, I also started from selling eggs to him, will my life be like the previous life......
The next day, I arrived at the work site on time, Boss Xie had just unloaded the eggs, I helped him set up the boxes, adjust the scales, and start the first day of work.
In the last life, I bought him eggs for seven days, and he accompanied me to buy them for seven days, and gave me seventy yuan, and on the eighth day, her mother came, thinking that I wanted to convince them of the city, marry her son, and drive me away. In this life, will it still be the same as before?
After ten years of experience, I know that he is actually a good person, relying on his own honest business to make a fortune, with the largest supermarket in the county, and several chain stores. He has a good temper and is very good at business, marrying such a person, it is not bad to have no worries about food and clothing, and a dull life......
I was absent-mindedly cranky, and I didn't even bother when someone came to sell eggs.
Boss Xie is not angry at all with me, an unenthusiastic employee, and always takes the initiative to chat with me, asking this and that. In my previous life, I was afraid that he was a bad person, so I didn't dare to tell him my real name and the village where I lived, but now I know him very well and tell him the truth directly.
At noon he bought something from a nearby food stall and we ate together. The noon in summer is the hardest, and it is hot, and there is no one to buy eggs. I think too, who will come out to buy eggs on such a hot day. He took a fan and fanned the two of us, so I asked him, where is your stall?
He said that on the street to the east, there was a vegetable stall, and his mother was watching. He also asked me if I wanted to eat ice cream, in my previous life I lied to him and said that I had a cold stomach and couldn't eat that, and I couldn't eat it in summer, he believed it very much, in fact, I was afraid that he would buy ice cream and then deduct my salary, but now, I didn't hesitate to say that I would eat it. He smiled and went to buy two chocolate ice creams, gave me one, and watched me eat it, holding it in his hand but not eating it. I asked him why he didn't eat it, and he said keep it for me.
I was indeed a little moved in my heart, thinking about my previous life, he was indeed a good person, every time I went to his supermarket to buy something, he didn't want money, so I threw him money. In fact, it is very affordable to find a person like him to be a husband, and a woman lives a life, isn't it affordable? Wind and snow and moon, flowers before and under the moon are just an illusion when they are in love, and for a person like me who has vowed never to be a leftover woman again, I still take the wind and snow moon lightly.
